	Ladies and gentlemen, it is Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025, and here's what's coming up on the Owen Report today.
	All right, day 22 of the fake government shutdown.
	All right.
	What's a good word for it?
	It's not a real government shutdown.
	And I'll give Trump credit.
	I'll always give credit where credit is due.
	Trump saw the obvious double standard of Argentina getting $40 billion in foreign aid, specifically to bail out their beef and cattle industries while the bill and the funding for American farmers and the American cattle ranchers were being held up by this government shutdown.
	And Trump is going to release those funds so that the shutdown doesn't stop them from getting paid.
	So somebody said, hey, how are we able to give Argentina all this money?
	We can't even give our own farmers the money.
	Trump is going to correct that.
	But it just shows how the whole thing's fake.
	It just shows you how the whole thing's a stunt.
	And now that we're going to enter into probably next month, doesn't show any signs of stopping.
	We'll get into why.
	And they thought maybe after the No Kings protests, they'll stop it and they'll reopen.
	No.
	If you rely on the government in your life, that's a decision that you made and you have to live with the consequences.
	But now the consequences are coming.
	So we'll explain all of that coming up.
	And then Trump, obviously feeling the heat from the cattle ranchers, from the farmers after feeling betrayed by this Argentina deal, which is really just a mystery.
	It's really just a mystery, unless you want to get conspiratorial about it.
	But he offered a statement on that after hearing the backlash.
	And then there's some drama at the Pentagon today, some drama in the Department of War today.
	It's getting mixed reviews.
	I'll explain what's going on there.
	And then why a lot of the pushback, I want to just, I want to ease some of the right wing out of this now because I understand why there's frustration on the right.
	I don't know if anybody's been able to voice this frustration as coherently as I have been able to do.
	But I want to kind of watch that, watch out because now the right wing is getting into this reactionary phase.
	And I'm seeing a lot of it with this story with the generals and the Department of War.
	And I just say, hold on, not everything is bad.
	I know it can feel that way, but not everything is bad.
	So we will explain that.
	But the polls continue to show that Americans are not happy.
	They're not happy the direction of the country is going.
	They're not happy with the economy.
	So we'll show that for you.
	And then there's some other drama in DC.
	More protests.
	So the No Kings protests were basically a nothing, but now the dangerous protests are kicking back up as the Democrats are doing everything they can to try to obstruct justice.
	And that's what it is.
	It's obstruction of justice.
	It's a crime.
	And they're targeting ICE officials now, ICE agents now, with these protest groups.
	But we have a list now of all the groups funding it.
	We have the list again, again.
	So where's Pamboni?
	I don't know.
	Is she going to be on Fox News tonight?
	What are the odds?
	Pamboni makes it on Fox News tonight.
	More drama in the New York City mayor's race.
	That's going to be fun.
	And it looks like my instincts, it looks like my political intuition as to the drama unfolding between Sliwa and Cuomo.
	Looks like my instincts and intuition were right about where that was coming from.
	We've got more evidence of that today.
	And then, of course, you can't have a news day without Israel being in the news.
	So we've got geopolitical news that will involve Israel and then parts of Europe.
	It's insane these stories, though.
	It's insane when I read these headlines and when I'm reading these stories, preparing for the show, these are things that I should never even have to read.
	These are things that I should never even have to say.
	But here we are.
	Here we are.
	They will be said today.
	They will be read today.
	And then is an alien invasion inevitable?
	Alien invasion?
	Something's going on out there in space.
	The government's taking notice.
	This news update was brought to you by the 1776 Law Center, the official legal team of the Owen Report.
	On the cutting edge of news and analysis, the Owen Report with Owen Schroyer.
	We'll see you next time.
	Well, two of the most important Americans, two Americans whose loyalty can never be doubted, never be questioned, are getting personal security, private security, public security, the likes of which you could never even imagine.
	As we go live here today, beautiful day in Austin.
	How's the weather?
	Beautiful day in Austin, Texas.
	Man, man, I love that sun.
	And I can't believe they're about to hit us with this daylight savings crap.
	Although, I guess technically right now we're in daylight savings time and they're going to switch us back to standard time next month.
	I'm up in arms about this.
	I'm outraged.
	I'm furious.
	The sun should never set before 6 o'clock ever.
	It should be illegal.
	And this is what they're about to do to us.
	Across the entire nation, the sun is going to start setting in the 5 o'clock hour.
	If you're in Maine, it's going to set before 5.
	This is criminal.
	But I digress.
	We'll deal with that later.
	Can we get a petition going?
	Can we get some momentum going to stop this madness?
	If anything, we should be moving the clocks forward.
	But I will compromise.
	It's not all about me.
	I will compromise.
	Just hold the clocks where they are now.
	Just keep them where they are now.
	We don't need sunsets before 6 o'clock at night.
	It's outrageous.
	So anyway, two of the most important Americans, their loyalties cannot be doubted, will not be doubted.
	You've got Barry Weiss, who has a six-person security detail on her person at all times, Barry Weiss.
	By the way, the Ellisons are now looking at an even bigger media merger.
	Who had the Ellisons buying up like a third of the media landscape in the year 2025?
	Who saw that on the map?
	And now it looks like they're going for another giant grab.
	It looks like they're trying to have another giant merger.
	But you always wonder, do they do this for money?
	Do they do this for power?
	Do they do this for influence?
	Do they do this for control?
	Whenever you have individuals that get into the multi-billionaire status, they always love to buy up media operations, I think, to control them.
	And maybe innocently enough, that sometimes it's just like a little pet.
	They just like, oh, I own the New York Times.
	I own the Washington Post.
	I own Warner Brothers.
	It's just like, you know, it's kind of a little ego thing, a little ego boost.
	Oh, they're going for it.
	But Barry Weiss is getting a six-person security detail.
	This is the $150 million woman, by the way, who can't even get 10,000 viewers on a live stream.
	Little old me, this show isn't even a month old.
	This show's just out of the pre-mortal ooze.
	Haven't even been on air for a month.
	We're averaging more than 10,000 per live show.
	Barry Weiss can't even get 10,000 after an archive.
	She's worth $150 million.
	And then Laura Loomer, it's being reported, Laura Loomer has personal police protection.
	And she has police stationed outside of her house 24-7 now.
	So thank goodness these two women are being protected unlike anyone else.
	Thank goodness.
	These are two of the most important women in American media.
	Their loyalties cannot and will not be questioned.
	And I'm glad.
	I'm glad that we're once again using taxpayer dollars to Anyway, day 22.
	Day 22 of the government shutdown.
	It's nice.
	It's not enough.
	Once we reach like day 222, maybe I'll start getting excited.
	So the record is 35 days.
	And this happened in the first Trump administration.
	35 days between 2018 and 2019.
	You may recall that drama.
	Or you may not.
	Funny enough, just like this will likely be forgotten.
	I'm rooting for the record.
	I'm rooting that we witnessed the longest government shutdown, breaking the previous record during the first Trump administration.
	It's really a feather in the hat, I'd say.
	If I was Trump, I'd be bragging about it.
	I'd let the media ask me the questions.
	I'd say, well, you know, it's tough.
	It's tough in D.C. And there's people that they've got an agenda and they think that they can use the government shutdown and attack me with it.
	But turns out it's pretty popular.
	Turns out it's pretty popular.
	We already had the biggest.
	We already had the best.
	We had the biggest, best government shutdown first term.
	Very popular, actually.
	It was very, very nice, very well liked.
	Higher approval ratings than Congress, actually.
	So we said, go ahead and do it again, Chuck.
	Go ahead.
	My people don't like the government, so go ahead.
	And he's trying to right some of the wrongs, getting the military paid, getting some of the farmer's aid released and everything else.
	But it's a fake shutdown.
	It's a political football.
	And to the people that rely on the government, to the people that are dependent on the government, that's a choice that you made.
	That's a choice that you made.
	And now you have to endure the consequences that come with the risks.
	So I don't really feel bad.
	If you rely on the government to feed your family, I suppose I'm not completely cold-hearted.
	That would be a bad situation to be in to not be able to feed your family.
	That's not good.
	I'm not celebrating that.
	But if you rely on the government to feed your family, that's a risk you take.
	I didn't take that risk.
	You took that risk.
	If you rely on a government job to pay your salary, to pay your bills, that's a risk you take.
	So I'm not rooting for your life to be miserable, but that's a risk you take.
	A football player takes a risk.
	He might get a concussion.
	A NASCAR driver takes a risk.
	He might get in a car crash.
	Somebody that relies on the government takes a risk that the government might not be there for them.
	Day 22, we're going for 35.
	I think we're going to do it, guys.
	I think we're going to do it.
	I think we are going to see the biggest government shutdown of all time.
	I hope it goes on forever.
	I don't even care.
	And what I would love to see in the midst of this, it would be like what we're not getting out of Doge.
	What we wanted to get out of Doge, we're obviously not going to get, but maybe we can get like a small fraction of this when Trump starts to say, you know what, the government's been shut down for a month.
	All these employees, we don't need them.
	They're fired or they're cut.
	We're releasing them.
	They're done.
	We don't need them anymore.
	And if the Democrats want to continue to try to shove this pork into this bill, because they failed on the Obamacare angle, that was their first angle.
	They failed on that.
	And John Thune, basically, he tricked the Democrats.
	And he said, well, if this is about Obamacare, then let's have a separate debate and let's have a separate vote.
	And we can just have an Obamacare session over here.
	And then let's take a separate vote to just reopen the government.
	And then we can handle this separately.
	And Schumer turned it down.
	And that's why now they're moving on to their new narrative, Obama, the Obamacare narrative lost.
	So they're not talking about that anymore.
	Now they're going to be talking about how people are going to be losing their SNAP benefits.
	And they're not going to be talking about, but this is the actual sticking point.
	Once you get Obamacare out of the equation, the South African shrimp program, you know, the same garbage that they've been doing.
	We'll look at that in a second.
	So I'm cheering it.
	I think we're going to get the longest shutdown.
	Some people in the media thought that when the No Kings protests were over, that the Democrats would then be willing to reopen the government.
	It was all part of some grandstanding.
	It turns out I don't think that's going to be the case.
	So I'm cheering for it.
	Day 22, we need to make it to day 36 to set the record.
	I want to be a part of that record.
	I want to claim I was here.
	Cheering it on.
	Tell your future lineage, son.
	We shut down the government.
	We did it in record length.
	You're welcome, son.
	But of course, again, it's not really a real shutdown until there's real world results.
	And I don't know if I really count government charity projects.
	I don't know if I really count people that rely on the government to feed their family.
	I don't know if I really count that.
	It's a sad thing for you personally, but that's a you thing.
	And it's really kind of un-American to rely on the government, as cold as that may sound.
	But so this is it.
	This is what they want.
	They've moved on from Obamacare.
	So now in this bill, and the Republicans are never going to vote for this, and they shouldn't, and they should be making a bigger deal out of it.
	But it's the redundancy factor.
	But it's like, you have to say this stuff.
	Mike Johnson should be stepping in front of the media.
	He's always going out and talking to the media.
	So every day, his first comments to the media should be, we tried to have a separate vote on Obamacare.
	We tried to have a separate hearing and session specifically on Obamacare.
	And then the Democrats dropped that because Thune played him.
	He did.
	He played him.
	He showed you Chuck Schumer was a fraud.
	He said, hey, Chuck, do you want the Obamacare vote?
	We'll do it.
	Separate it from this, and we'll do it for you.
	And then Chuck dropped that.
	So now here's what the Democrats have in the bill.
	And I ask you, if you listen to this, you've probably heard this, but not everybody listens to this show, obviously.
	But they might hear from Mike Johnson.
	Every single day that Mike Johnson approaches a microphone in D.C., he needs to lead with this.
	He needs to say, this is why, this is why right now the government is being held up.
	Because this is the popular stuff.
	The foreign policy stuff is not popular.
	This is the stuff we want to cut out.
	The Democrats want $13.4 million for civic engagement in Zimbabwe.
	They want $3.9 million for LGBTQI plus democracy grants in the Balkans.
	They want $2.9 million for desert locust reduction in Africa.
	So this is some of the special interest BS pork that really needs to be investigated as money laundering, that really needs to be investigated as fraud.
	And we were supposed to be doing this with auditors via Doge, but I guess that's all canceled.
	This is where Mike Johnson needs to lead.
	Because you can point the finger at the other side.
	Who knows?
	It's a political football game.
	At the end of the day, everybody's going to be standing in the exact same area they were.
	No, this isn't moving anybody.
	But if Speaker Johnson came out every day and said, here's what the Democrats have in this bill that they want us to pass, that might move people.
	That might move the needle.
	The Schumer shutdown, it's just a cheer.
	You know, it's a cheer at a basketball game.
	You know, defense, go team, take the ball.
	That's all it is.
	Schumer, shutdown.
	It's just cheerleading.
	No, go out there and lay out what the Democrats have put in this bill and say, this is the waste, fraud, and abuse that people voted against.
	This is what we're trying to stop.
	And then lay that at Chuck Schumer's feet.
	And let's see.
	Let's see if Schumer would even consider removing these things from the bill.
	The $1.5 trillion bill, by the way, $1.5 trillion.
	It's totally normal to receive a to cut a check rather for $1.5 trillion when you're $38 trillion in debt.
	Totally normal stuff.
	Totally normal stuff right there.
	So here you go.
	So now this is where the conversation is heading.
	42 million people could lose SNAP benefits if the government shutdown continues.
	The program costs approximately $8 billion per month to operate nationwide and has never missed a monthly payment due to a closure.
	Well, that might change.
	So again, you know, the truth is that you have to be cold-hearted in politics.
	That's just the truth.
	And maybe it's the truth in many different things in life.
	Or maybe that's just me.
	But I'm sorry.
	$8 billion a month for SNAP benefits is not exactly something I support.
	Now, all things considered, if you gave me a list of all the government expenditures and I had to say, here's my priority list of what I want cut, this would probably not even be in the top 10, maybe not even the top 50.
	I'd rather spend government money, I'd rather spend taxpayer money to feed Americans than to feed anyone in a foreign country ever, than to fund any military operations in any foreign country ever.
	So this compared to the foreign aid, it's like, yeah, I'd rather cut the foreign aid than the domestic aid, let's say.
	But at the same time, I'm not shedding any tears.
	And isn't there a missing element to this?
	There's a missing part of this conversation.
	Why do 42 million Americans need to be on SNAP benefits?
	Why do 42 million Americans need to be on food assistance?
	Why is that?
	It's a serious question.
	Is it because they're too lazy to work?
	Is it because they can't work?
	Is it because even though they do work, they can't make enough money to feed their family?
	See, we never address these root causes.
	We don't do it in health.
	We don't do it in education.
	We don't do it with these government assistance programs.
	We want to address surface level issues, and we never get to the root cause.
	And that's why these things get worse.
	You can always find a new way to address the surface level issues, which usually just means more spending, more attention.
	But if you're not addressing the root cause of these things, then nothing changes.
	Why are 42 million Americans on SNAP benefits?
	What is that?
	That is, what is that, like 10% or more of the American people?
	that's like 15%.
	But this is going to be the new talking point.
	Oh, Trump is starving Americans.
	How long till these headlines hit?
	It's not going to work.
	Well, I shouldn't say it's not going to work.
	It is going to work, but nobody's moving.
	Nobody's moving.
	I would say, I do think ultimately this probably hurts Trump more than anybody else.
	I would say that.
	And the only reason I say that is a similar thing happened with COVID.
	And maybe Trump is a little bit to blame for that himself with COVID.
	This situation, I think, is different.
	But Trump got a lot of the blame for COVID.
	And Trump got a lot of the blame for how the COVID situation was handled.
	And I would say it was mostly illegitimate.
	Trump didn't do enough to stop the tyranny, to stop the COVID tyranny, the mask tyranny, the vaccine tyranny, the shutdown tyranny.
	Trump did not do near enough to stop it.
	So he does deserve some of that blame.
	But also, I don't believe he wasn't the antagonist of this story.
	He kind of got caught up in it and then for whatever reason didn't stand up to it and went along with it.
	And unfortunately, because of that, probably Trump's biggest political error, the most costly political error Trump made was letting them shut down the economy.
	Permanent damage was done to the U.S. economy because of that, permanent damage.
	And Biden took a lot of that blame, which is fair.
	Biden's policies are what caused the permanent cost of living of where we're at now.
	But if you actually look at what caused that economic damage, that economic permanent scar, that was from the economic shutdown of COVID.
	Regardless, why am I saying this?
	Because at the end of the day, whenever something like this happens, the average American doesn't know what's going on.
	They couldn't even tell you the name of five senators, maybe not even one.
	They couldn't tell you the name of anybody in the House of Representatives.
	They don't know who the speaker of the house is.
	They don't know who the Senate minority leader is.
	They don't know any of this stuff.
	All they know is the government shut down.
	I blame Trump the president.
	All they know is SNAP benefits have been shut down.
	I blame Trump the president.
	That's how this stuff ends up going.
	So, really, ultimately, this will probably hurt Trump more than anybody else the longer it goes.
	I'm not sure if he cares or not, and he doesn't have to win another election, so it really doesn't matter.
	Who is it hurting the most right now?
	Democrats, Republicans, it's a wash.
	Nobody's really moving on this issue right now.
	But once the snap benefits run out and once people actually start to get hit with this stuff, it's not going to be Schumer.
	It's not going to be Johnson.
	It's going to be Trump.
	They're going to blame Trump.
	And to the average American that's ignorant and doesn't know anybody in Congress, they know who the president is.
	That's who they blame.
	So that's how it goes.
	November snap benefits will not go out in Pennsylvania unless immediate action.
	2 million people in Pennsylvania alone on snap benefits.
	2 million alone in Pennsylvania.
	That is crazy.
	It's probably almost every single one of them in a Democrat city, by the way.
	Federal food assistant changes, threatened benefits for 360,000 Illinois residents.
	Now, this is an older story, but I would imagine the numbers are still the same.
	So hundreds of thousands in Illinois, millions in Pennsylvania, probably New York, the bluest states, California.
	That's where most of this aid is going.
	So you may recall yesterday.
	There were a bunch of stories about cattle ranchers.
	I ought to reach out to my friends in the beef industry and the beef lobby.
	Been meaning to do that.
	See what they think about all of this.
	But it was pretty clear because these are pro-Trump groups.
	These are pro-Trump groups.
	The cattle ranchers are very pro-Trump, very right-wing, traditionally speaking.
	And they felt betrayed at this deal to bail out Argentina's beef industry, which I don't take that at face value.
	I think there's something else going on with that.
	I think the Trump administration is either buying favor with Argentina because they're about to make some other big moves in South America, maybe specifically with Venezuela and Colombia.
	So I think that's either the Trump administration buying favor with Argentina when some of this other stuff goes down, or it's like some weird loyalty payment because Millay is so loyal to Israel and so pro-Israel.
	And everywhere he goes around the world, he tells you how great Israel is.
	Maybe that's a little more conspiratorial than the prior notion, but I wouldn't discount that as a possibility either.
	So Trump is obviously feeling this heat.
	He's hearing from the cattle ranchers.
	He's hearing from the farmers about this.
	So he posted this on his Truth Social in response, which shows you he's hearing it.
	It shows you he's feeling the heat on this.
	The cattle ranchers, who I love, don't understand that the only reason they are doing so well for the first time in decades is because I put tariffs on cattle incoming to the United States, including a 50% tariff on Brazil.
	If it weren't for me, they would be doing just as they've done for the past 20 years.
	Terrible.
	It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking also.
	So look, this is just bad.
	This is just Trump swinging and missing badly here.
	And I don't really know if he has a choice, quite frankly.
	He's down on the count.
	He's down 02 in the count, and he just had a backdoor slider come across the strike zone.
	And so he just kind of has to swing at it, but he's a swing and miss.
	Horrible swing and miss.
	He's running cover because he insulted the farmers and really the American people by expanding the foreign aid to Argentina for $40 billion to bail out their cattle industry.
	Now, again, I think there's something else going on with that, but that's what happened.
	So now he's basically insulting the cattle ranchers and saying it's their fault they need to lower their prices.
	Again, I don't know who is, you know, this is supposed to be Brooke Rollins, who was on Fox News today.
	She was doing a media tour today.
	So the whole administration is running cover.
	That's how you know this deal is bad.
	The whole administration is running cover.
	Trump's doing truth social posts.
	Brooke Rollins is running around doing interviews.
	Send Brooke out there.
	Tell her to put on the makeup.
	Tell her to doll it up.
	Do the hair real nice.
	Maybe wear a nice low-cut top.
	Tell her to look real nice for the cameras.
	It'll be great.
	It'll be great.
	They love her.
	They love Brooke.
	No, we love affordable beef and we love American beef.
	You just bailed out Argentinian beef.
	And now you're insulting the cattle farmers.
	And then you're saying they need to lower their prices.
	They're as low as they can go.
	The prices are already as low as they can go.
	They have to make a profit.
	So then they come out and they say, well, this is going to help prices come down for the American consumer because we're importing more beef from Argentina.
	Well, that's going to hurt the American cattle rancher.
	So I don't know.
	I don't know what you do.
	I would try to find more ways to help the American farmer.
	The Biden administration sent crushing blows to American agriculture on its way out.
	Crushing blows.
	They killed off a bunch of livestock.
	They forced them to kill off a bunch of livestock.
	So Trump, you know, he's basically forced, in my eyes, here, to cover up for some lie about why he's bailing out Argentina.
	And so instead of trying to correct the record or level with the American people, instead he's doubling down and he's insulting us.
	And then he's taking credit.
	Bad look.
	This is not going to help the cattle ranchers who now feel betrayed by you.
	Now they're insulted by you.
	So now what you're doing is you're, it's called adding insult to injury.
	Really, you need to be finding ways to lighten up regulations on the cattle ranchers.
	Really, you need to be finding ways to allow the cattle ranchers to do their jobs and to be the most efficient and productive that they possibly can be.
	And that might have been the agenda.
	That might have been the effort.
	But then you turn around and you say, we're going to flood Argentinian beef into the market.
	You need to lower your prices.
	And they're saying, lower our prices.
	We'll be out of business.
	You know what's funny?
	As all of this is happening, what is the name of that fake beef?
	What is the name of that fake meat company?
	It went up like 25% in the market today.
	Like Wonder Beef, or what is it called?
	Impossible meat, something like that.
	It skyrocketed here.
	Let me see if I can find this.
	And stock market was down today.
	Stock market was way down today.
	Some defense contractors did well.
	Everything else was down.
	Tech was down.
	Yeah, virtually everything is down.
	Quantum is down.
	AI is down.
	Virtually everything is down today.
	Financial markets.
	Defense contractors did good.
	And then I think it's called Impossible.
	Let me see if I can find it.
	It was up like 25% this morning.
	Still pretty cheap stock, but nonetheless.
	So I guess I guess the fake meat manufacturers are looking at this and feeling pretty good.
	Or somebody just made out like a bandit.
	So this is just not, it's not a good look.
	I'm going to reach out to my friends in the cattle industry, the beef industry, and the lobbying, the lobbyists for these people and see what they think.
	Now, okay, here's another fallout we're having right now.
	Beyond meat.
	Beyond meat.
	In fact, see, this is where my producer, Dominic, are you with us?
	This is where you can fill in the gaps here.
	He's messaging me here talking about it was, well, he's not installed to go right now.
	Beyond meat.
	Where is Beyond Meat right now?
	Let me see.
	Boy, if you got in on that deal, if you have major FOMO, just don't even follow the markets.
	Yeah, had a nice little bump today.
	It's actually, now it's actually down.
	No, it was a different one.
	There was someone that went massive, that went massive today.
	Nobody's buying this one.
	There was a different one.
	Beyond Meat is actually down now.
	It started big, but now it's collapsed.
	So somebody just got a big pump and dump off that.
	Good for them.
	Now, nonetheless.
	All right.
	So there's another, there's more fallout in DC.
	And I'll give you a little intimate information with this too.
	But you may have heard there's some fallout from generals in the Department of War in the Pentagon today.
	He lost us.
	Generals.
	Senior officers say trust in Hegzeth has evaporated.
	Secretary's critics worry Pentagon at risk of enduring damage amid firing, resignations, and early retirements of high-ranking staff.
	Now, I've had a lot of incoming on this today.
	I have a little bit of intimate knowledge of things that are going on.
	I was one of the few people to cover this phenomenon about a month or two ago at the original source who is now an independent reporter.
	She used to be affiliated, but she's independent now.
	She may have signed with somebody.
	I don't know, Gabrielle Cuchella.
	Cucelli.
	I'm sorry, Gabby.
	I've forgotten your name.
	My apologies.
	We'll get it right for you.
	But she kind of went through this originally with the Pentagon.
	And I think a lot of that was some Biden holdover stuff.
	And a lot of that was just the new administration trying to figure out exactly exactly how they were going to handle the press now.
	Gabrielle Kuchia.
	Sorry, Gabby.
	I told you I told you we get that one right.
	She left the Pentagon Press Corps because she had issues.
	This was months ago.
	And then she was reporting on some of this stuff.
	So I'm actually seeing that they're trying to fix a lot of this stuff is what I'm seeing, is they're kind of bucking some of the standards and traditions that angered a lot of people.
	And because of that now, the mainstream media is walking out.
	The mainstream media is protesting.
	The mainstream media is having their own strike, if you will.
	So the Pentagon press team and Sean Parnell are saying, okay, this whole thing is a disaster.
	Let's basically hit the reset button.
	Let's just hit the reset button.
	Because it was like, at first, we just want loyalists.
	And that was kind of the standard before.
	And they weren't really sure how to handle friendlies that were that were kind of going against the grain.
	But, oh, people don't want to be loyal to the Pentagon.
	They don't want to spread what they view as Pentagon propaganda, State Department propaganda, which is now what the mainstream media reporters are saying.
	So they're walking out.
	So now they're having a reset button and they're saying, we're going to invite independent press.
	We're going to invite independent media.
	We're going to give them the access.
	And if you think it's all bad and you think that this is just the administration or the Pentagon bringing in agents of propaganda, I will tell you this.
	They've invited me.
	I have had a personal invite and conversation with this press team.
	And I communicated very clear to them that, you know, I'm not going to move to D.C. They said, no problem.
	We'll give you a remote pass and we'll give you access to everything digitally.
	And I said, well, does it allow me opportunity to ask questions?
	They said, yep, we're going to facilitate that with our new models.
	I said, is this something I can live stream when you're doing it?
	They said, absolutely.
	We would like that.
	And without divulging too much information here, I'll just tell you that these are people that listen to the show, folks.
	They're listening in the Pentagon.
	They're like us.
	There are good guys.
	There are good guys there, folks.
	There are.
	Not everything is bad.
	There are plenty of good guys.
	And I said, you know, I'm like, well, since you listen to the show, you know, I'm really critical of the administration at times.
	They said, it's no matter.
	We think you're an honest reporter.
	You tell it like it is.
	It's no matter.
	So it's not all bad.
	So it was really bad.
	And then they were trying to fix it.
	And then the mainstream media decided they were going to strike.
	And so now they're just basically hitting the reset button.
	Now, this is a different story.
	So, but anyway, the new kind of dissonant right that's really disenfranchised is kind of just taking everything negatively.
	And they're like, oh, this is the Pentagon.
	They just want propaganda agents in there.
	It's not true.
	Do you think I'm a propaganda agent?
	They've invited me, folks, personally.
	And I haven't said, hey, I'm critical of you guys.
	No problem.
	Now, this deal with the generals is another thing where the new disenfranchised right thinks that this is some sign that Hegzeth is failing.
	It's all a disaster.
	And I just say, let's just hit pause for a second, guys.
	First of all, shouldn't you be happy that the Pentagon is falling apart at the seams?
	Don't we want the Pentagon shut down, disbanded?
	Don't we want the State Department shut down and disbanded?
	So watching them crumble like this shouldn't upset you.
	It shouldn't upset you.
	Secondly, who are these generals?
	Are these the generals that can't win wars?
	Are these the political generals that make everything about left-wing politics and ideology?
	Are these the same generals that tried to sabotage Trump's first term?
	Who are we talking about here?
	So I understand the notion to be critical with everything and not trust anything right now.
	And I certainly understand the attitude of the disenfranchised right, maybe more than anybody.
	But I'm telling you, this is not, this is not the problem.
	If anything, you should be happy with this.
	And maybe you don't agree with everything Pete Hegseth says or does, but you understand Hegzeth is not in here as a political ideologue.
	And he's allowing the Pentagon press pool to be completely reshuffled and reset.
	And they had problems, and they're recognizing that now.
	So they're trying to fix these things.
	And I'm just sitting here saying, hey, guys, we're anti-establishment.
	These are all the establishment generals.
	These are all the political ideologue generals that have rows and rows of military honors on their chest.
	They've never won a war.
	Some of them might have never even fought in a war.
	So the Pentagon reshaking the press pool, not a bad thing.
	All of these political ideologue generals walking out over Hegseth, talking trash on Hexeth, it's a good thing.
	And you know, maybe they don't like it.
	Maybe they don't like it that Pete Hegseth is out here doing push-ups and pull-ups and running marathons and he's popular with the young kids and he's going into the Navy locker room and doing the champagne showers.
	Maybe there's a little jealousy.
	It's not as bad as it looks.
	Believe me, this is the least.
	This is the least of our problems in D.C. right now.
	And you should probably be cheering for this.
	Because aren't we all sick of the Pentagon anyway?
	Aren't we all sick of the State Department anyway?
	So let's just be careful on that one.
	Let's just be careful not to jump to any conclusions.
	Now, having said that, we continue to see these headlines.
	Most Americans say the country is heading in the wrong direction, according to a recent poll.
	The partisan gap on the nation's direction has hit a record 68 points with most saying key issues are off course.
	Now, specifically, the big one is the economy.
	And this is the one that will always show up in elections, ladies and gentlemen.
	Majorities say key areas are off track, including the economy.
	65% say the economy is going the wrong direction.
	65% say the government functions in the wrong direction.
	Now, surprisingly, 57% say immigration is going in the wrong direction.
	That one's a little strange.
	If there's anything, if there's anything that this administration has been pretty solid on, its administration, now it's not perfect, but it's been, that's probably their strongest policy has been closing the borders and deporting illegals.
	And then foreign policy at 60%.
	So really, the economy is going to be the most important.
	It's going to be the most important to look at when we're talking about the midterms.
	So if this number, 65% of Americans say the economy is going the wrong direction, if that number holds, bad news for the Republicans in the midterms, bad news.
	And it's worse when Trump comes out here and tells you that the economy is great.
	It's just not, folks.
	And I don't know.
	Again, I think Trump is being gatekept.
	I'm not making excuses for Trump.
	I'm just telling you what I think is going on.
	Trump used to be able to talk to the average person.
	Trump used to be able to get a direct connection to the average American.
	He used to be able to hear from the average American, the guy that cuts lawns for a living, the guy that picks up garbage for a living.
	He used to have that direct connection.
	The people that worked at his clubs, everything.
	I think that I don't think he has anymore.
	I think he's being gatekept from it.
	I think that he's too busy, maybe even to do it.
	I don't think I don't know, but I don't, I just don't think he's getting the messaging of, hey, President Trump, the economy's not that great.
	And if, and if, and if the people that are coming in and getting access to Trump are all the Wall Street people, all the tech people, all the military people.
	Well, of course, of course, they're telling him the economy is great because they're all making out like bandits.
	They're all richer than ever.
	So, of course, if that's the only people, if Trump is only hearing from the millionaire of the billionaire class, they're going to tell him the economy is doing great because the haves and haves-nots are being separated more than ever before.
	So, if he's not hearing from middle-class or lower-class Americans, then he just doesn't know that, hey, most people actually think the economy is not good, Mr. President.
	And he's just not, he's just not hearing it, is what I see.
	All right.
	Um, I got a couple other ins and outs here for these political stories here, but uh, I think, I think producer Dominic is uh, you know, he might have a bit of a bone to pick with me on this.
	I don't know.
	You, you didn't, you didn't, uh, you didn't like what you were seeing out of the Pentagon.
	I'm, I'm throwing you on the spot here.
	You've just been put on the spot.
	I think you're muted.
	Go.
	Are you muted right now?
	We may have to, we may have to boot you from the show.
	We may have to.
	I think I'm good.
	There you go.
	So, I mean, I've spoke to some of the people that are actually involved or invited to be part of this whole Pentagon press corps.
	And for the people that aren't aware of what's going on, you know that they had special documentation that they were forcing media outlets to sign, which basically restricted people's ability to do reporting.
	So, that was some weird NDA, wasn't it?
	I'm not exactly sure the specific documents, but so, anyways, like people like Jack Bisovic, people like Just the News, other vehemently pro-Trump organizations were actually given the press spots today.
	But the thing is, is that what you're noticing is that people that used to be fully independent journalists, people that you could rely on to actually call out government overreach, call out corruption, they're effectively being absorbed by the administration and they're being relied upon to push the Republican narrative, to push the party line, to push whatever the Pentagon is saying, instead of actually calling out some of these things where we need transparency.
	So, I think it's, um, I mean, it's pretty disappointing to see because my whole sort of frame of reference for being a right-winger was I wanted smaller government, I wanted pro-freedom, pro-America, you know, principles.
	And essentially, now a lot of these people that were calling those things out, um, they become complete government mouthpieces, man.
	I mean, it's it's it's pretty evident for anyone that's willing to honestly observe it.
	Well, I don't disagree with that.
	I think that's an observable phenomenon.
	I'm just saying, because we were talking earlier, I don't think this whole generals basically standing up against Hegseth.
	I don't think that's bad news.
	I don't think the Pentagon reshuffling the media deck is bad news either.
	I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying here.
	I think that that's true.
	Um, but I think these are two separate issues.
	I think what's going on with Hegseth in the Pentagon is a separate issue than what's going on with formerly, let's say, dissident, formerly anti-establishment right-wing commentary.
	I think these are two separate issues.
	Well, I mean, I do agree with the fact that obviously many of the officials and generals in the military were, you know, woke and ridiculous.
	You remember Lloyd Austin with the face shield, Lloyd Austin covering up the fact that he had cancer.
	That was like a welcome mask.
	You remember people like Mark Milley?
	I mean, this is, you know, frankly, this is pathetic trash.
	So, I'm not saying that any of those individuals, I'm glad that they're gone.
	I like some of the things that Pete Hegseth has done as far as like his attitude and things like that.
	Do I think he's a shill?
	Do I think, you know, a lot of the same issues that is plaguing the rest of the Trump administration apply to him?
	Of course, I do.
	But I do agree that, yeah, I mean, as far as the generals and stuff, yeah, they suck.
	But it doesn't, that doesn't make an excuse for the fact that people that we previously relied upon to give us honest journalism to call out this overreach that we see all the time.
	You know, they become pawns of the government.
	And the fact that they just gush over it, you look at Twitter and they're just, yeah, way to go, man.
	Most of the time, you see what I'm observing from the Trump administration right now is they do just enough to say that they're actually doing something, knowing that the things that they're doing make such a minimal impact that it doesn't even make a dent.
	I mean, you saw the Wall Street.
	Wait, wait, you wouldn't wear the Lloyd Austin face mask?
	You wouldn't wear the Lloyd Austin Welders mask to stop COVID?
	I mean, maybe if I was auditioning to do like a Star Wars role or something, but I mean, dude, it's just pathetic.
	And I thought about this earlier today.
	I was thinking about Joe Biden's presidency and I was thinking about just how old, decrepit, pathetic he is.
	And I understand how some people are like, yeah, Trump.
	It's fantastic what's going on, considering just how bad the situation was before.
	Well, so here's why, here's here's why I'm here's why I'm kind of pushing back on this right now is because I think that a lot of the right wing, as you're describing, is becoming the tail wagging the dog.
	And so they're in this thing where they're like, you know, the press was so pro-Biden, anti-Trump that we're now going to do this.
	We're going to do this 180 and we're going to fill that role in the reverse phenomenon.
	And I think that that's basically the tail wagging the dog.
	And so sometimes that can get you in trouble.
	And that's why on this deal that I'm seeing with the generals and with the Pentagon press pool, and I'm seeing a lot of the disenfranchised right upset with that, I'm saying, hey, let's hold on here.
	Maybe it's not so bad.
	So I do think there's a large phenomenon happening with the tail wagging the dog and how a lot of the right wing, the anti-establishment right, has just kind of filled that role now of it's like back to square one of we're just going to be reactionaries and we're going to do the opposite of what the left does.
	And it's like when you commit to that practice, that application, that ideology, you're just as easily set up as they are.
	You're just as easily manipulated as they are.
	You know, on a final note about just the state of the right wing, especially the influencer class, what I'm kind of noticing is that, you know, it's been pretty evident to anyone that there's been a major division on the right, particularly with the Israel stuff, particularly with kind of like the shameless shilling for Trump.
	And remember, man, I voted for Trump three times.
	I mean, I'm not going to vote for a Democrat, but at the same time, I have a spine.
	I have principles.
	I'm not going to sit here and let somebody piss on me and tell me it's raining.
	So I just think that I think there's been a complete reshuffling of the deck because I think a lot of audience members, I think a lot of people in the political media sphere, they're noticing that people are shamelessly sold out and they're looking for other voices to actually tell them, you know, some unfiltered truth.
	So I do think it presents an opportunity for people that are honest, people that have integrity, people that do have a spine to stand up to call out the bullshit.
	And I definitely think that some of these people that are doing what I like to call access journalism, they are only giving favorable coverage to the Trump administration of the Pentagon, et cetera, because they want to keep their, you know, they want to keep their jobs.
	They want to keep the access.
	They want to keep the money coming through.
	But I think it's going to end up stinging them because I think that people are becoming a lot smarter, a lot quicker.
	A lot of that has to do with X, but I don't think they're going to be able to pull the wool over people's eyes for much longer.
	Have you ever voted for a Democrat?
	Can't say I have, my friend.
	Was Corey a little younger back in the Obama days?
	You know, I graduated high school in 2006.
	So, I mean, no, I didn't.
	I don't believe I actually voted in the 2008 election.
	I've never voted.
	I've never voted for a Democrat either.
	Is Corey Bush on the ticket?
	Is Corey Bush going to be running again?
	Well, for anyone that's familiar with St. Louis politics, which I'm sure it's not too many here in Congressional District 1 in Missouri, they had the, I believe it was the second biggest recipient of AIPAC donning their donor money in Wesley Ball.
	He received $12 million in the last race.
	That was actually the second most of all time, only to be topped by the New York congressional race where they booted out Jamal Bowman.
	I don't like him.
	He's overtly anti-white.
	So I'm not a fan of Jamal Bowman.
	I do respect the fact that he called out the APAC lobby, but Corey Bush is actually making a comeback because of the fact that Wesley Ball, he has some local scandals.
	The AIPAC thing really soured people.
	Yeah, well, Bush has her own scandals.
	She's trash, too.
	I mean, you just got to pick which, you know, which unfavorable or terrible candidate you like.
	I'll tell you this: APAC, APAC set another funding record today.
	I've got that coming up in the second hour.
	All right.
	You, I wanted to get you on this because we were talking about this earlier and you reached out when I was covering that.
	So, producer Dominic joining the show here as we close out the first hour.
	A couple odds and ends to get to here.
	Bill Pulteep, one of the good guys.
	They just made this announcement.
	Barry Habib is great and is working hard to present me options to fix LLPA's aka house prices and bring some relief to homeowners and home buyers in President Trump's America.
	The days of Biden need to be gone.
	I don't know what they can do about the housing market.
	And as long as the Fed isn't going to cut interest rates, I mean, really in half, I don't know what you're going to do.
	I don't know what you're going to do.
	It's so volatile.
	It's so inflated.
	And it's discriminatory, actually.
	It's discriminatory.
	And I'm not going to go back into the experience I had in the last two months dealing with the housing market, but it's actually really wild how hard it is, how bad it is right now.
	And there's so many things working against you.
	And it used to support and benefit illegal aliens for four years in the Biden administration that I think they're still trying to deal with, figuring out what to do with that because they had all of these FHA loans, but now they can't even pay them off.
	So there's a giant housing bubble.
	It's just bad.
	But Bill, Bill, hit me up, Bill.
	Hit me up.
	I'm trying to cut a deal here, Bill.
	I'm trying to cut a deal with Pulte Homes, and we're getting screwed.
	It's not your guys' fault.
	It's not your guys' fault.
	But we're getting screwed by the system, Bill.
	Help me close the deal, Bill.
	I'm trying to buy a Pulte home.
	I'm being dead serious.
	I'm not being facetious.
	I almost closed a deal with Pulte Homes.
	But then, because of the different rules and stipulations and regulations for mortgages and home loans, we couldn't close the deal.
	And it's all just because of bad policy.
	It's all bad policy and it's discrimination against people that are self-employed.
	That's just the truth.
	I'm not going to go back into that story.
	I already did, but it's wild when you actually go through it.
	So, okay, so on the Drudge Report, and then I've got Gavin Newsome complaining here.
	On the Drudge Report, it says Trump demolishing entire East Wing.
	Folks, that is just an outright lie.
	It's unbelievable.
	And this picture is rather deceptive.
	All that's been demolished is a, it's basically a facade.
	It was like a carport is what they demolished.
	And then some of the East Wing were some of the first ladies' offices were that were mostly unutilized or underutilized.
	So some offices are being infected, but it's no White House operations are really being impacted by this at all.
	There's a little inconvenience because it was a carport that people could drive up and loiter and stuff.
	That's it.
	Nobody's demolishing the East Wing.
	This is all privately funded.
	Trump came up with the funds himself.
	So it's totally privately funded.
	And the only thing they tore down was a carport, a facade that, you know, ultimately some of the offices there got hit with it too.
	You can see, but that's not what's, they're not tearing down anything.
	And it'll probably be a big, grandiose, beautiful ballroom.
	So, hey, fine, they're improving the White House.
	What's the big deal?
	And they're saying, oh, Trump is destroying it.
	He's destroying the East Wing.
	He's doing it during the government shutdown.
	You're just liars.
	None of that is happening.
	And I guarantee you, Trump gets major use out of this ballroom.
	That's why he's building it.
	He wants to use it for the next three years.
	He wants to have big parties.
	He wants to have big events.
	He wants to bring world leaders in there.
	It's probably going to be decked out in gold, huge chandeliers.
	But Democrats and liberals hate nice things.
	You figure that one out yet?
	Democrats and liberals hate nice things.
	And so that's what we're dealing with here.
	All right, final story before we hit the end of the hour.
	Person arrested after driving into barricade near White House.
	According to Secret Service, the vehicle was deemed safe.
	A person has been arrested after driving his car into a security gate near the White House.
	Now, so if you've been in media, if you've been in political media covering DC for a while, you know this happens like usually about once or twice a year.
	Somebody rams into the barricade.
	And rarely is it of any importance or significance.
	Every once in a while, it'll be someone with a weapon.
	Every once in a while, it'll be some deranged person maybe making political statements.
	But most of the time, it's, I don't know.
	So this is a regular thing.
	How crazy is that?
	It's a regular thing that some psychotic drives their vehicle into the White House barricade.
	It's just a regular thing.
	They just ram their vehicle into these barricades.
	But the larger story here.
	So this is not targeting President Trump, just to be clear.
	The larger story here, these psychotics are on the road.
	Do you ever think about this?
	These people are driving on the road next to you.
	These psychotics are behind the wheel of a car next to you on the road.
	You could be surrounded by them.
	It's actually pretty crazy to think.
	Psychotics driving cars at high velocities, out of their minds, bombed out on pharmaceutical pills, ramming into barricades.
	And these psychotics are on the road next to you.
	You're listening to The Owen Report on the Wynn Network.
	Extra dimensional and multi universal.
	Here's your host, Owen Schroyer.
	All right.
	All right.
	I've got some, maybe some bad news.
	We're not sure what we're going to do yet.
	We're investigating our options.
	Producer Dom is investigating my options right now of what to do because, you know, part of my vision for the show here as we're in week number three, part of my vision, as I was saying, was to really get more into cultural stuff, entertainment stuff, and make music a big part of the show.
	But I think what we're finding out is, it's crazy to think, but it's true.
	Now that I'm kind of getting more into my own flow and the show format and what works and what doesn't, we're finding that there's very little room to make these elements a part of the show.
	But more frustratingly is we keep getting hit with these strikes.
	Well, they're not strikes, actually.
	I should be accurate.
	They're, I don't know what they're called.
	Maybe Dominic can weigh on this later.
	But basically, whenever we play music, they try to take it off of YouTube.
	So we don't want to deal with that.
	We want to be able to access that platform.
	And it seems that YouTube is the only issue here so far.
	Dominic, we can address this later.
	I don't want to waste too much time on this.
	Maybe when we close the show.
	Hey, are you doing super chats today, by the way?
	Just shake your head.
	Oh, I think that because of some of the issues we've had with their copyright strikes is what's going on on YouTube.
	Because of that, whenever demonetization happens on a video, they don't allow super chats.
	So I have to look into it.
	As of now, it'll probably be tomorrow, but I will look into it further for sure.
	So because of that from yesterday, we can't do super chats on YouTube.
	Is that what you're saying?
	Basically, if you share any sort of copyright music on a live stream, it like freezes your ability to do that.
	So that seems to be the case.
	Yeah.
	Got you.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	So I can briefly address it now.
	I don't think it hurts the show.
	I don't think people tune in to hear music anyway.
	It was just something I wanted to add to the show, add a little value, whatever.
	So we may have to reconsider that.
	What I think, so what's odd is I thought I knew the rules on this because I used to be very well versed in this stuff.
	And I guess things have changed because I haven't been on YouTube in years.
	And when I studied media law in college, and a lot of that was still kind of based off terrestrial airwaves and those rules.
	And so things are a lot different now with the internet.
	But for whatever reason, it's like YouTube just always hits you like that.
	So what I might do, because I do want to do this, music is a very important part of my life.
	I enjoy it.
	I think I have a very eclectic and wide range of music taste here that I would like to introduce to you.
	New music from all around the world you've never heard of before.
	And if you're a fan of music, you know, you love hearing new bands.
	You love hearing new sounds.
	So I don't know.
	I don't think we're going to be able to really do that with the show.
	We're re-examining what we're going to do with the music and out of the break.
	So what I might do, because I'm not busy enough, people actually get mad at me.
	I get asked to go to dinners and all this stuff.
	People come to town.
	They want to meet and network.
	I'm like, I just don't even have.
	So because I'm not busy enough.
	I'm thinking about doing just a music show.
	And we don't need to monetize it.
	We'll just come maybe Monday morning, whatever, just sit down, play some good music, hang out, tell jokes, but that's neither here nor there.
	But anyway, if I stop playing music, that's why.
	Because we're trying to deal with that, figure out what we want to do there.
	All right.
	So my friends at Blackout Coffee reached out to me and we're going to have a new landing page for blackoutcoffee.com slash Owen.
	And they said, all right, you've tried the products.
	What are your favorite products?
	What do we want to put on your landing page?
	And I said, well, all the dark roasts are my favorite.
	I love the dark roasts.
	I love my favorite is the black espresso, the pitch black espresso.
	That's my favorite dark roast.
	But we like the brutal awakening dark roast and we like the 1776 dark roast.
	And now they also have these in the coffee cups.
	You can actually get it in just the single-serve coffee cups, which is very, very crucial for many people that prefer that method.
	So these options are available now.
	So my favorite coffees, the dark roast from blackoutcoffee.com, Brutal Awakening, 1776 Dark Roast, and the Pitch Black Espresso Dark Roast.
	All of these are available in the coffee pods, 18 count coffee pods if you prefer to drink the coffee that way.
	So I said, all right, we got to have those featured on the landing page.
	And then it's seasonal, and everybody loves the pumpkin spice.
	Everybody loves the pumpkin spice right now in October and November.
	Pumpkin spice flavored coffee pods.
	Five-star reviews across the board, 115 reviews.

	That's how you can support the show and use your 20% off coupon for your first order.
	And I'm looking forward now because they were holding out on me.
	I didn't realize they had all these options for the coffee pods because it might be an issue.
	Like today, I brewed a pot of coffee and then I end up drinking the whole pot.
	It's like four or five cups.
	It's like, maybe I don't need that much coffee.
	Start to sweat by hour two.
	Start to get the coffee sweats by our two.
	So if I had the single serve pods, maybe I wouldn't be having these issues.
	Maybe I wouldn't be drinking four or five cups a day.
	Maybe we could limit it to like one or two.
	Maybe that'd be better.
	Maybe we'll find out because I got my pods on the way.
	And I'm actually excited because of all these different flavors that they have.
	Oh, and the instant coffee is great too, but they have all these different flavors.
	You don't even need to add.
	You know, people add sugar and all these creams and stuff.
	You don't even need to add that stuff.
	I hate that stuff anyway.
	Blueberry, crumble, cinnamon French toast, chocolate, cherry, on and on.
	All kinds of different options for the single-serve pods.
	Looking forward to getting those in the mail shortly.
	Support our friends at Blackout Coffee.
	Support the show, blackoutcoffee.com/slash Owen.
	And remember to take advantage of that 20% off coupon code, Owen.
	All right, Democrats are at it again.
	The protests will continue.
	We're not asking.
	We're shutting it down.
	This will have no impact at all.
	Mass blackout, November 25th through December 2nd.
	Looking forward.
	The largest economic blackout protest in U.S. history begins November 25th.
	They said the same thing about the No Kings protest.
	Biggest protest in history.
	Nobody cared.
	It wasn't big at all.
	It was basically just a content farm for conservative content creators.
	That's all it ended up being.
	Nothing more.
	Nothing more, nothing less.
	That's what the No Kings protest will be remembered for.
	A content farm for conservative content creators.
	We're boycotting the U.S. economy.
	We're liberals.
	We're leftists.
	What is this even about?
	The largest economic blackout protest in the U.S. No work, no spending, no restaurants, no projects, no events, no restaurants, no backing out.
	Wait a second.
	Am I hearing this correctly?
	Am I hearing this correctly?
	No liberals?
	It sounds to me like they're saying no liberals.
	Hold on, I got the wrong thing up on the screen here.
	I'm so sorry for denying you Rosie O'Donnell's promotion.
	You're in Ireland.
	What are you even doing?
	You don't even live here anymore.
	Didn't you renounce Rosie?
	Well, it might be a problem.
	It might be a problem if Rosie O'Donnell still lived in America because she eats a lot.
	We all know it.
	She's a big, big supporter of the local bars and the local restaurants.
	It's been said nobody spends more money on food.
	Nobody spends more money on food than Rosie O'Donnell.
	That's how she gets her look.
	We all know the look.
	It's a look.
	She's got a look.
	It's the money and time she spends at the local bar and the local restaurant.
	A lot of food, eats a lot.
	Big spender.
	And if Rosie was still here, if Rosie was still in the United States of America spending her money on all that greasy food, maybe this might have an impact, but she's gone.
	She's not here anymore.
	So it won't be felt.
	No, it won't be felt.
	No, what I'm hearing here is no liberals from November 25th to December 2nd.
	No liberals.
	The no liberals protest.
	Wow.
	Please don't.
	Please, liberals.
	I would actually love to see them fall through, follow through with this.
	Now, nothing is going to happen.
	They're not going to follow through with this.
	They're all going to go get their lattes.
	They're all going to go get their coffees.
	If the food stamps are back on by then, they're all going to go spend their EBT cards.
	I want you guys just disappear from society for a week.
	Let's see it.
	Let's see liberals boycott society, boycott civilization for a week.
	Let's see how that goes.
	Let's see if we can notice a difference when we're out trying to enjoy our days.
	But none of this is going to happen.
	And there will be no impact.
	Now, this is the real impact.
	This is where the leftist protests are actually having an impact.
	And it's not in a good way.
	It's actually insane that this is going on.
	House Democrats launching controversial master ice tracker.
	Master?
	That sounds like a dog whistle.
	I thought master was an offensive term now.
	Remember, you can't say master bedroom now because that's a nod to slavery, which we all know the Democrats love.
	So I guess they're bringing master back, the master ice tracker, to keep tabs on federal agents looking to round up illegal criminal aliens across the country.
	Now, of course, they're saying, oh, they're just rounding up immigrants.
	Words matter.
	The Democrats say the Trump administration is rounding up immigrants.
	A blatant lie.
	An absolute objective, bold-faced lie.
	And they know it's a lie.
	So it's just unfortunate.
	And it's part of the reason why we just can't get anything good from the right either.
	Because they get to sit here.
	Oh, look, the left lies about everything.
	So we don't really have to do anything because they just lie about everything.
	And so they just kind of rest on that.
	So, so, so listen to this, though.
	We heard this last week.
	Here it is again.
	These ICE protesters, last week, they said that ICE needs to get shot.
	What are they saying this week in Los Angeles?
	Get where you're standing.
	This is the South Central Los Angeles.
	They are not.
	They are not the only ones with guns in this city.
	They're not the only ones, and don't forget that.
	And I don't say that because we're calling it providence.
	I'm saying that because the people have every right to defend themselves against mass, unidentified gunmen with AR-15s and other military rifles.
	The people have every right to defend themselves.
	Okay.
	Well, remember, if it can't be applied universally, it's not logic, it's propaganda.
	Now, obviously, what this gentleman is insinuating, it's that, hey, ICE, you come here, we got guns too.
	Maybe we'll use them against you.
	That's basically what he's insinuating.
	I find it odd.
	This is coming from the left.
	I thought you guys were anti-gun.
	Now you're pro-gun.
	And when you guys were sending your secret agents into the homes of Trump supporters after January 6th, and some of them had guns, you were absolutely panicked.
	You stripped them of their weapons.
	You were demonizing them having guns.
	But now you're saying that's a good thing and that now you're threatening ICE agents because you guys have guns?
	Come on.
	We all know what you're doing here.
	And isn't this the ultimate admission?
	The Democrats just want to disarm you.
	They don't want to disarm their force of authority.
	They don't want to disarm themselves.
	They just want to disarm you.
	Amazing.
	So now the liberal protesters are pro-gun.
	And they want to let ICE agents know that if you dare do your job, they've got guns too.
	Can't wait.
	Can't wait to see if that energy sticks around when they start coming after us again.
	When they come for our guns again, let's see if that energy sticks around.
	Let's see how long that energy is there.
	Probably not.
	Probably not going to happen.
	Then they'll be anti-gun again, by the way.
	Now, this is a pretty wild video that I have here.
	It's a longer video.
	I was going to do basically a reaction type thing here, but I think I'll probably just move on from Nick Shirley.
	Protest erupt in New York City as ICE raids Canal Street.
	They did a bunch of arrests here.
	I've got that headline coming up.
	But anyway, if you want to see the chaos here with these protesters getting in the face of these ICE agents, you know, this is such a delicate situation.
	This is a very delicate situation because we have to support people's right to protest.
	We do.
	And at the end of the day, if you're out there peacefully protesting, you're allowed to do that.
	But, you know, these police officers are people too.
	And there's this concept that just because they're wearing a uniform, that they're no longer people.
	And I can understand that mentality because our government is so corrupt and our government is unhuman in its own accord.
	So it's like you kind of put on that unhuman suit when you work for the government.
	But no, these police officers, these ICE agents, they're humans too.
	They have families.
	They have hobbies.
	They have vulnerabilities.
	But you know what?
	They have a right to protect themselves too.
	So how do you balance this with these punk liberals getting in these police officers' face?
	Because they shouldn't have to deal with this.
	If some leftist punk gets in their face, they should be allowed to knock them out.
	But it's this idea that, oh, because they're in uniform, they can't defend themselves.
	That's bullcrap, man.
	I'm not calling for police brutality.
	I'm not calling for police overreach.
	Not at all.
	I'm just simply saying, if some punk protester gets in your face, then you have a right to defend yourself and stand your ground.
	But we all know how it's politicized.
	Their lives will be destroyed.
	So they have to sit there and take it.
	They have to sit there and get spit on.
	They have to sit there and get insulted and attacked and bullied.
	And they just have to sit there and take it because if they dare stand their ground, they're done.
	Their lives are over.
	But it's ridiculous.
	And the liberals know that this is the phenomenon.
	They know they can get right up.
	It's like, we're going to go right as far as we can without getting arrested.
	We're going to go as far, we're going to push the limits on this right up to the point until you can arrest us.
	But the truth is, these punks, if you get in one of these officers' faces, they should be allowed to knock you out.
	If you stand in these police officers' way, I want them to pick you up and toss you off the road like a ragdoll.
	Sorry.
	Dumb choices have dumb consequences.
	I will defend your right to protest, but I will also defend a police officer's right if you're in their face spitting at them, screaming at them, harassing them.
	I will also defend their right to kick your ass.
	Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
	You want to go out there and protest?
	That's your right.
	I will defend your right.
	But you want to go out there and get in a police officer's face and think that you can sit there and harass a police officer because they're in uniform.
	You know what?
	I support them knocking you out.
	How about that for a little equal opportunity?
	And you know what?
	I'm being the nice guy.
	Americans are beginning, they're going to become so fed up with you, they're going to be begging police officers to kick your ass.
	They're going to be begging police officers to haul every single one of your asses to jail.
	Stop doing stupid things.
	But it all goes back to the same leftist lies.
	It all goes back to the same Democrat Party propaganda.
	They actually think these agents are out here deporting Americans.
	They think these agents are out here deporting immigrants.
	This is now obstruction of justice.
	The Democrats that are promoting these apps to track ICE everywhere they go, that is obstruction of justice.
	They need to be charged.
	They have to be charged.
	And I'm a small government person.
	I'm against police overreach.
	I'm against police brutality.
	I don't want to see it.
	I don't like seeing any of this in my streets.
	But we on the right have to have common sense and we have to find solutions to problems.
	And the solution to this problem is: as soon as you get out of line with a police officer, they're going to beat your ass and you're going to go to jail.
	As soon as you promote something that is an obstruction of justice, like this ICE tracker and these ICE protests, you need to be charged with obstruction of justice.
	You need to go to jail.
	And that includes the Democrat politicians.
	And these brainwashed liberals are out here fighting for non-citizens, fighting for rapists.
	In fact, did you see the list?
	I read it yesterday.
	I read the list yesterday.
	The people that got deported from Canal Street, we're talking rapists, kidnappers, child rapists, and child kidnappers.
	And these people are out in the streets protesting because what?
	You want to keep them in the country?
	You're going to have a hard time.
	I'm going to be one of the last holdouts on this, I bet you.
	There'll be libertarians that'll have your back, but you're going to lose support from the right.
	The people on the right that believe in free speech and the right to protest.
	You're going to lose those people's support.
	And they're just going to start turning their heads.
	And nobody's going to come to your defense.
	That's just a warning to you when you're out there protesting this stuff, standing in the way of police.
	So keep it up.
	But they're protesting because Canal Street ICE arrests nine illegal aliens with rap sheets, including robbery, domestic violence, assaulting law enforcement, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, forgery.
	They arrested rapists, kidnappers, and the left-wing, they're out here protesting.
	They want to keep them here.
	They want to keep them in the country, I suppose.
	Now, Anna Paulina Luna seems to be one of the few in Congress that actually delivers anything.
	Anna Paulina Luna has revealed almost $300 million, $294.5 million for the No Kings protests.
	Wow.
	That is an astronomical number.
	You'd think the left wing would be upset about this.
	You'd think that they'd be able to spend it on something better.
	Did you get your money's worth?
	Okay, so then you have these accounts saying, oh, it's not true.
	And Grok is just totally confirming all of it.
	And Grok is sharing all the data here.
	So now liberals are debating Grok on these things.
	It's not misinformation.
	These figures align with known funding flows from Arabella advisors, Soros-linked groups, Ford Foundation, and others to progressive networks organizing anti-Trump efforts like the No Kings protest, per disclosures, and influence watch data.
	It just goes on and on with people saying, Grock, it's not true.
	It's all true.
	So, so Grok now debating the left over this stuff.
	Earth to Pam Bondi.
	Is Pam Bondi in the room?
	I don't see her on Fox News, so where is she?
	Where is Pam Bondi?
	Pam, Pam.
	It seems like everybody knows where the money is coming from except Pam Bondi.
	She seems to be the only one that has no idea where the money is coming from, even though she's in charge supposedly of the investigation as the Attorney General and she knows nothing.
	Everybody else knows it, but she doesn't.
	Maybe Anna Paulina Luna can give her a call.
	Or maybe it's just time for a new attorney general, too.
	Maybe it's that time.
	Maybe that's what time it is.
	All right, before I move on to the next series of stories, let's see what else we got in our video list today.
	Let's see here.
	Chuck Schumer.
	Oh, yeah.
	Tell me.
	Tell me if you hear anything ironic.
	Tell me if you hear anything ironic about what Chuck Schumer said on the floor of Congress today.
	Ask my colleague, one of the greatest blows to democracy when we don't have a fully free press.
	And has it been a hallmark of so many of the countries that he has mentioned that are autocracies or absolute dictatorships to have no free press so no information can come out?
	And doesn't that dramatically hurt the American people when government is shielded and can do whatever it wants and hurt as many people as it wants because you don't have a free press?
	Doesn't it really frighten?
	Shouldn't it really frighten every American that this is incredible?
	Listen to this.
	Shielded and can do whatever it wants and hurt as many.
	Hurt the American people.
	When government is shielded and can do whatever it wants and hurt as many people as it wants because you don't have a free press.
	It's dangerous.
	It's dangerous when the government is censoring speech.
	It's dangerous when the media is being used to shield an administration.
	Golly gee, Chuck.
	Golly gee, Chuck, you dirty rat.
	You New York rat king.
	Who is it that had an entire department designated to online censorship?
	Oh, that's right.
	That was the Biden administration.
	Who is it that used all of its influence in the tech sector, on the social media sector during the first Trump administration to censor pro-Trump voices?
	Oh, that's right.
	That was the Democrats.
	That's right.
	Who was it that had the American press shield the American people from the truth about Joe Biden and his deteriorating mental and physical health?
	Yeah, that was you guys again, Chuck.
	Chuck Schumer needs to be put in a lab.
	Somebody needs to go find Chuck Schumer and throw him in the back of a van and throw him into a rubber room and study this man.
	I'm serious.
	We need to study these people, folks.
	I'm dead serious about this.
	For the sake of humanity and for the sake of our country, we need to take Chuck, we need to put Chuck Schumer in a straitjacket, throw him into an institution and study his brain.
	We need to figure out what it is about somebody like Chuck Schumer that forces him, causes him, allows him to be such a dirty, rotten, rat-faced liar.
	I'm being dead serious.
	I want Chuck Schumer thrown in a straitjacket and I want to have his brain examined.
	I want to study his brain.
	I want to understand this psychology because we can never have people like this in power, folks.
	There's something dangerous here.
	I guarantee you there's something in the chemistry.
	There's something in the brain waves.
	I don't know.
	There's something there.
	There is something in there that causes a man, a supposed human, like Chuck Schumer to just stand there in the Capitol and just blatantly lie, just totally reverse reality to the American people.
	Everything he just said there is true about the Democrat Party and not true about Republicans.
	Everything he just said.
	Now, you could argue that the Trump administration is doing everything they can to have friendly media in there, but they still have the state-run hacks from the Biden administration in there every day.
	They still have them.
	So, no, I want to study Chuck Brain.
	I want to study Chuck Schumer's brain chemistry, body chemistry, brain waves.
	I'm dead serious.
	We need to find this out, folks.
	We need to do a study on the psychology and the chemistry of people like Chuck Schumer.
	We have to make sure that we can identify whatever this thing is, whatever this mental disorder is, whatever this chemistry imbalance, whatever it is that causes a Chuck Schumer to exist.
	We need to study it.
	We need to figure out what it is.
	We need to identify it.
	And we need to make sure we never let anybody like that anywhere near a position of power, specifically in government.
	If you are that big of a liar, there's something wrong with you.
	You have a serious brain malfunction.
	You have a serious chemistry malfunction.
	You're really, you know, like they'll sit here and they'll say, hey, you're mentally retarded if you have Down syndrome or something.
	And most of those people are honest.
	They're innocent.
	They have big hearts, but they have some, you know, mental retardation issues.
	Chuck Schumer's mentally retarded.
	He's worse, though.
	But see, we don't call that mental retardation, but that is.
	Chuck Schumer is mentally retarded.
	So what is the diagnosis?
	What is the brain chemistry?
	What is the brain waves?
	What is this?
	What is this liberal mental retardation that we're dealing with here?
	It is a mental disorder.
	It needs to be studied.
	It needs to be diagnosed.
	We need to know this stuff.
	Like if you knew somebody was a paranoid schizophrenic and had a record of paranoid schizophrenia and serious outbreaks, you probably wouldn't vote for them.
	Well, if we found out what was wrong with Chuck Schumer's brain, we probably wouldn't vote for him either.
	So we need to diagnose this.
	I am dead serious.
	Throw Schumer in a rubber room, throw Schumer in a straitjacket, and we need to study how a person like this gets so mentally retarded.
	Is it something they're eating?
	Is it something they're born with?
	Is it a drug they're on that's messing with their brain chemistry?
	What is it?
	That is an incredible psychological phenomenon that you just witnessed from Chuck Schumer.
	And he's not the only one.
	But really, as Americans, as humanity, we should sit there and we should say, wow, astounding.
	It's like, have you ever seen the movie Shutter Island?
	Great film.
	And there's a scene where Leonardo DiCaprio's character is in the room with all the doctors.
	And he's in there running his mouth about whatever it is, whatever's wrong in his brain.
	And he's in there running his mouth.
	And the doctors are sitting there.
	They're smoking their pipes and they're nodding.
	And they're just like, wow, incredible.
	And they're looking at one another because they're studying this specimen.
	They're like, oh, my gosh, good.
	Oh, my.
	Wow.
	It's incredible, this human psychology.
	It's the same with Chuck Schumer.
	That should be the response.
	Everybody should be watching Chuck and be saying, wow, this is incredible.
	This human psychology, the boldness to blatantly lie.
	This is incredible, the hubris for Chuck Schumer to get in there and inverse reality and sell it to the American people.
	This is incredible human psychology.
	This man's brain must be studied.
	What allows a man to be such bold, so bold in his lies?
	What is it that allows a man to have such hubris as he inverses reality and says so to the American people?
	This needs to be studied.
	This is an incredible psychological phenomenon.
	Chuck Schumer is mentally retarded.
	And I'd like to know what it is that causes him to be mentally retarded.
	And maybe we can diagnose it and stop these individuals from ever getting into power again.
	Okay, enough of my Chuck Schumer rant.
	It'll be good for Chuck.
	Old Chucky boy.
	What else do we have here?
	Oh, we got so many video clips.
	Here's Mike Johnson.
	Here we go.
	Mike Johnson, the finger pointing continues.
	It's the Democrats and their lack of leadership.
	Well, it's Chuck Schumer.
	So, yeah, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate is mentally retarded.
	Here's Chuck Schumer talking about the Democrat leadership.
	He's getting madder by the day.
	And we passed a clean, nonpartisan CR to keep the government open for the people.
	Now, look on the other side of that figurative split screen, as demonstrated here.
	The lights are out.
	It's all dark.
	Why?
	Because what the Democrats have accomplished in nine and a half months is a government shutdown.
	A couple other things sort of related to that.
	You know, they have made a lot of TikTok videos.
	We'll give them credit for that.
	They've also assaulted law enforcement officers.
	One of them is on trial for that.
	They've openly embraced and rallied with communists and socialists, most recently across the country on Saturday.
	They voted to raise taxes on millions of hardworking Americans at the worst possible time.
	They have voted against reducing fraud, waste, and abuse.
	Now, see, this is where you guys are just total phonies.
	You guys aren't cutting taxes.
	You guys abandoned Doge.
	So this is where you're just a total phony.
	Abuse and government, and they have now voted collectively.
	Democrats in Congress have voted 12 times to keep the government closed down.
	But it doesn't stop there.
	The Democrat shutdown is a glaring example of just how far the Democratic Party has strayed from common sense.
	Remember the simple truth here.
	It was over a month ago now that we passed, the Republicans passed the clean, short-term continuum resolution.
	Yes, the clean.
	It's all very clean when you do it.
	Nonpartisan.
	No gimmicks, no tricks, no writers, no partisan Republican policy priorities added to that.
	It's 24 pages in length, as we've discussed so many times, and it is very, very simple.
	Why?
	Because it was a very simple good faith effort on our part to preserve our ability to keep negotiating on the full year funding bills.
	And of course, the other big issues facing the American people.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	So the Democrats, of course.
	Now, actually, this is incredible.
	This is actually an honest Democrat.
	It's hyperbolic, but it's what we're about to witness.
	Here is an honest Democrat on why the Democrats are holding out on the government shutdown right now.
	She actually admits it.
	This is incredible.
	Shutdowns are terrible.
	And of course, there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer.
	We take that responsibility very seriously.
	But it is one of the few leverage times we have.
	There it is, right there.
	The Democrats have no power.
	They have no leverage.
	The only thing they can do is when the threshold is 60 votes in the Senate is block it whenever they want.
	That's all they can do.
	The only leverage they have.
	And you just heard it from an honest Democrat.
	The only reason we're doing this is because it's the only leverage we have.
	And if the American people are suffering because of it, that's just what, that's just the price we're willing to pay.
	That's an honest Democrat.
	Hey, this is no, this is no wave the pom-poms, do a leg kick in the air for Republican Party politics, but no, this is the Democrat shutdown.
	100%, this is the Democrat shutdown.
	And I give her credit.
	That is an honest Democrat.
	We're shutting it down because we have no other leverage in D.C. So we have to do this with whatever leverage we get.
	It's an honest Democrat.
	That's the actual truth.
	I bet she's getting a nice tongue-lashing behind the scenes for that deal.
	Now, this is the lie.
	This is the lie from Democrat Elisa Slotkin that they're doing this because of Obamacare and how great Obamacare was for the American people.
	From Macomb County, who wrote in saying that their insurance costs are going to nearly double by January 1st.
	They go from $272 per paycheck being taken out to $516 from their paycheck being taken out as of January 1st.
	So these are real stories from real Michiganders because of the health care crisis that is going on after the Big Beautiful bill was signed in July.
	No, first of all, that's a lie.
	Secondly, I'm pretty sure Slotkin was one of those that got in on voter fraud in Michigan.
	But that's old news, I suppose.
	No, the premiums went up, and anybody can go look at the graphs.
	Anybody can go look at the line graphs, the bar graphs, whatever you want.
	Premiums all went up after Obamacare was signed.
	That is a fact.
	That is a fact.
	And at the time, the Democrats and the supporters of Obamacare, they were blaming it on everybody else.
	They were saying, well, this is because people aren't signing up.
	We need every American to go sign up for this to work.
	What do you know?
	It didn't work.
	And the premiums went up.
	And then they were blaming website issues.
	The website kept crashing.
	No, your policy failed.
	So they admitted it.
	When they signed the Affordable Care Act, premiums went up.
	It was undeniable.
	And they said, well, the premiums are going up because not everybody's signing up.
	And we can't even keep the website running.
	So people can't even sign up when they try.
	And now they're saying, oh, it happened after the big beautiful bill.
	A total lie.
	And Obamacare, you don't need it.
	You don't need to use government health care.
	So now it's failed.
	So actually, what they did was they did an end around.
	So you don't have to rely on the Affordable Care Act for health care.
	So it crushed their entire healthcare agenda.
	But the premiums went up after Obamacare was signed.
	That is an undeniable fact.
	They admitted it at the time and they made up their excuses.
	But they know Democrat voters fall for this crap.
	So they just sit there and lie to us all day long.
	So what were the Democrats doing while they were filibustering to stop another vote from happening?
	Senator Tim Leahy lets you know what was going on last night at 2 a.m. in Washington, D.C. So 2 a.m. here of leaving the Capitol.
	We're listening to four speeches from Democrats who have closed the government, and they're forcing Capitol Hill staff to sit in here all night and listen to them read poetry while they're not getting paid.
	So not only are they now closing the government, but now they're forcing our Capitol Hill workers, our police who keep us safe, all of the pages on the floor to stay up all night listening to them read poetry because they think it's funny because they want to make a statement.
	So not only are they not paying the government, now is the government closed, they are forcing all these good people in this building to stay up all night and listen to them read poetry.
	That's how ridiculous the shutdown has become.
	That's how ridiculous the stupid Schumer shutdown is.
	This is ridiculous.
	Let's get back to work, open the government.
	You know, those workers should just walk out.
	They should walk out.
	Now, my guess is there's been some guarantees as far as back pay is concerned.
	And so they're not walking out.
	I think Trump could basically throw the tables over.
	And he could come out and he could say, you know what?
	Again, Trump needs to, he's going to have to take a lot of these hits because he's not up for reelection.
	And I think he might have even realized that himself, whether it's for good or for bad.
	I think he's doing a lot of things knowing he doesn't have to run free election.
	And this would be one of those times Trump needs to come out and he's to say, look, the shutdown is out of control.
	And we've given the Democrats ample opportunity to try and get this deal done to reopen the government.
	And they won't do it.
	And so we're going to have to do something drastic because we don't know when it's going to reopen.
	And we are now making a public statement, a public policy statement on the shutdown.
	All workers, when this is done, will either be furloughed, but you will not get back pay.
	There will be no back pay.
	So if you want to stick around and do your job for free, more power to you.
	Might be able to keep your job.
	But we have no guarantees of a job on the other side of this, and we have no guarantees of back pay.
	And you watch, these people will quit showing up to work.
	Police officers will stop protecting the Democrats there, and they'll panic, and then they'll vote to reopen the government.
	Now, that's a strategy that I really don't care if the government's reopened.
	I kind of want it to stay shut down.
	So, you know, it's all superficial anyway.
	So I'm giving advice that would hurt my own agenda, but that's what Trump can do.
	And that's what he should do.
	He should say, look, we're just, we've crossed a threshold now, and we can't guarantee back pay.
	We're not going to be doing back pay.
	So, if you want to work, if you want to continue working with no back pay, that's fine.
	Maybe you can keep your job on the other side of this, but we're also going to be basically just letting a lot of people go.
	And you watch how quickly the Democrats change tune.
	Now, the Democrats will be thinking twice: oh, I don't have my private security.
	Oh, I don't have police officers around me all the time.
	Oh, my staff isn't here doing my job all day.
	Hmm.
	I'm a little vulnerable.
	I'm a little exposed.
	I think I'll vote to reopen the government now.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	I think that we may have some breaking news.
	I'm not seeing it.
	I'm not seeing it on any of the networks right now.
	So let me check.
	Let me see if anything is up online about this.
	This could be really bad news, folks.
	This could be really bad news.
	I'm hearing Trump may have canceled the Putin meeting.
	Putin wasn't honest with Trump.
	Treasury Chief says, as U.S. imposes massive sanctions, the United States is to impose one of its largest ever sanctions packages against Russia because Putin was not honest in talks with Trump.
	Treasury Secretary Besant said Wednesday, hmm.
	I'm not seeing anything about the meeting being scrapped.
	U.S. sanctions Russia's two biggest oil firms after Trump-Putin summit scrapped.
	Oh, it has been scrapped.
	This is New York Post reporting this.
	Unbelievable.
	This is horrible.
	Jeez.
	The neocons win again.
	The deep state wins again.
	Treasury Secretary Scott Besson announced today that the U.S. was rolling out some of its heaviest sanctions yet against Russia after plans for a summit between Trump and Putin.
	I'm assuming that means floundered earlier this week.
	I think that's a typo.
	Moscow's two largest energy companies, Open Joint Stock Company, Rosneft Oil Company, and Luke Oil OAO, were hit by the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control with the crippling economic penalties to push for an end to the more than three-year-old invasion of Ukraine.
	Now is the time to stop the killing and for an immediate ceasefire, Besson said in a statement, noting the designated firms and their dozens of subsidiaries fund the Kremlin's war machine.
	The Kremlin's war machine.
	Yeah.
	Tell me, how does the Russia war machine compare to the military-industrial complex?
	How does the Russian war machine compare to the United States war machine?
	Who has more bases all over the world?
	Who has bases and NATO bases right up against Russia's borders?
	Now, none of this matters unless Europe stops buying Russian oil, which they can't.
	And so they won't.
	So this to me points to larger war now.
	This to me points to larger escalation.
	Now, Trump could be doing this because this is how he saber-rattles.
	He swings his stick.
	He gives you a close shave, but he doesn't cut you to bring you back to the table, to humble you a little bit and bring you back to the table.
	But this is Putin.
	This is Russia.
	This isn't a Middle East country.
	This isn't Venezuela.
	This isn't a Central American South.
	This is Russia.
	This is the largest country in the world.
	This is a country that is a nuclear power, a very big and strong military, and they have very powerful allies in China and India and others.
	I don't like this at all.
	I don't like this at all, man.
	I think it's tragic that the swamp, as it be, continues to sabotage any chance for a Russia-American alliance.
	And so now, basically, if Russia balks at this and says, fine, screw you, now you're going to get a bigger war in Ukraine, folks.
	Get ready for that.
	If there's any other agenda afoot here and it fails, you're going to get a bigger war in Ukraine.
	You're going to get more military aid.
	You're going to get more financial aid.
	You're going to get more NATO spending.
	And why not?
	You know, that's the direction everything else is going.
	Bad foreign policy.
	Just continuing bad foreign policy.
	Why would you do this right now?
	Why would you do this right now when you're trying to get a trade deal done with China?
	Everything is kind of relying on a trade deal with China, by the way.
	A lot of other foreign policy success or failure, whether it's trade, whether it's war, a lot of that depends on how things end up with China.
	And now you've just given Russia a reason to pick up the phone and call China and say, screw the Americans.
	And China might just listen.
	They might just listen.
	And if China starts cutting deals with Russia and cutting deals with India, I'm sorry, President Trump, but I don't care how many Indian Dwally candles or whatever you light in the White House, India is going to side with China and Russia at the end of the day.
	And they're going to smile and call you and say they love you and they love America, but they're not going to side with America over China and Russia.
	It's not going to happen.
	I just don't get it, man.
	I just don't get it.
	So I don't expect any peace to break out anytime soon after hearing that news.
	Who is in there sabotaging this stuff?
	Who is in there sabotaging this stuff?
	Does Trump even know what's going on?
	Russia hasn't been honest in the negotiations.
	Oh, yeah.
	And America has.
	America has been so above board.
	The integrity of American foreign relations and foreign negotiations is platinum standard.
	Give me a break.
	We blew up their damn Nord Stream pipeline.
	We told them we wouldn't put bases on their borders.
	We told them we would only support NATO countries.
	Now we're all supporting Ukraine, a non-NATO country.
	Don't tell me Russia is being dishonest here.
	We are being dishonest.
	Our leaders are dishonest.
	Our leaders are corrupt criminal liars.
	It's no endorsement of Putin.
	This is tit for tat.
	What an embarrassment.
	What an embarrassment.
	Everything's great.
	Everything's awesome.
	It's always victory all the time.
	So there you go.
	Now it is official.
	What happened?
	They denied this just yesterday.
	Just yesterday, they said, no, the meeting is still on.
	Everything's good.
	What happened in the last 24 hours?
	What sabotaged this?
	Who sabotaged this?
	And why?
	Who is sabotaging the United States of America and Russia coming together for peace and prosperity in the biggest, most important potential global alliance in modern history?
	Who is sabotaging this and why?
	And I would say the odds are it's the same people that are making out like bandits over this Ukraine debacle.
	Where is all the money going that's supposed to be for Ukraine?
	Where are the hundreds of billions of dollars that's been poured into Ukraine?
	Where has the money gone?
	There's no oversight.
	Oh, oh, you're telling me we could get a contract with NATO, with Ukraine, and we can sell them Patriot missiles and Tomahawk missiles?
	Ooh.
	So there it is.
	What did I say when I opened the show?
	I said the defense contractors are the only ones in the stock market that are up today.
	Bing, there's your insider trading.
	They sabotage the deal, folks.
	They sabotage the deal.
	Now I see.
	Now I know why.
	Geez, why was every other sector of the stock market down today except the defense contractors?
	There you go.
	They sabotaged this deal this morning, folks.
	This deal was sabotaged this morning, and the insider traders knew it.
	And they bought all the defense contracting stocks because they're anticipating that NATO or Ukraine is about to make a huge weapons deal.
	Let's double-check the markets.
	I bet it's even higher now.
	I bet they've gone up even more after this.
	Let's see.
	Only thing in the green are defense contracts.
	Only thing in the green right here.
	Everything else in the red.
	So you know what that is.
	They all moved their money out of tech.
	They all moved their money into defense contracts.
	Materials, weapons, materials stocks are up.
	And defense contractor stocks are up.
	Unbelievable.
	They sabotaged it.
	They sabotaged it, folks.
	I was wondering what was up with that.
	Thank you.
	Still not good, actually.
	Actually, the entire defense contractors are really not doing that good today either.
	But the only things in the green are the defense contractors and Raytheon.
	So I was wondering when I saw that happening this morning.
	I was like, everything is tanking except defense contracting.
	Now I know why.
	They sabotaged the deal this morning and they're trying to make a deal to sell weapons to NATO and Ukraine.
	They did it.
	They sabotaged again.
	These bastards.
	These war-mongering bastards.
	This is why we'll never get peace.
	It's too much money in war.
	It's heartbreaking.
	Thank you.
	It's just absolutely heartbreaking.
	That's MAGA.
	That's America first.
	That's what I voted for.
	I want the military-industrial complex to win.
	Don't you know it's good for the stock market?
	Don't you know we give all this money to Israel and Ukraine and then they buy our weapons?
	Yeah, that's called the military-industrial complex.
	It's what we stand against.
	No, that's MAGA.
	You sick bastards.
	You sick bastards.
	You did it again.
	You're listening to the Owen Report on the Wynn Network.
	Wynn Network.
	Little bush.
	I was in the garden just having a laugh.
	Till I met a monster cross my bed.
	Hey, God, darling, do you want some more?
	I can get you gonna beat me.
	What's it gonna be?
	Saying, I feel like the whole world was begging me to rain five above all my enemies till the love washed over me.
	Till I let the love wash over me.
	Say it, I forgot the whole world begging me to rain five above all my enemies.
	Till the love washed over me, till I let the love wash over me every day.
	Peace and keep that smile, call me, till I let the love wash over me every day.
	Extra-dimensional and multi-universal.
	Here's your host, Owen Schroyer.
	All right, that's Isaac Cappy, the gift, as we enter the third and final hour of today's Owen report.
	And the news is now everywhere.
	The Russia summit, if you will, has been canceled.
	And what do you know?
	The NATO chief comes to DC.
	The NATO chief comes to D.C. Yeah, guys.
	Thank you.
	I'm just we're not going to be delusional here, okay?
	The deep state is still very much in control, ladies and gentlemen.
	Just understand that the institutional international deep state is still in control.
	That's what this represents.
	Why am I still involved in NATO?
	Why?
	You know, Russia is closer to us than Europe.
	You know, Russia is technically our neighbor.
	We're two miles away from Russia via Alaska.
	You know that?
	Yeah.
	It was Russia that helped us win World War II, by the way.
	It was Russia that tried to negotiate peace and actually join NATO to stop the Cold War-era foreign policies, and NATO rejected it.
	And now we were maybe close to finally moving the ball forward to peace.
	Peace between Russia and Ukraine.
	Peace between Russia and the Western world.
	And the deep state one again, and the neocons one again, and the military-industrial complex one again.
	That's what I'm saying.
	I don't like it when Netanyahu comes to America and dictates our foreign policy.
	I don't like it when NATO comes to America and dictates our foreign policy.
	I voted for Donald Trump to give them a middle finger and show them the door.
	That's what I voted for.
	And anybody who says, this is what I voted for, you're a liar.
	You're a coward.
	Netanyahu comes to D.C. gets everything he wants for Israel.
	NATO comes to DC, gets everything he wants for Europe.
	Zelensky comes to DC, and even though it's a struggle session, he still gets what he wants.
	I'm sick of this crap.
	I don't know about you, but I voted for Donald Trump to give these people the middle finger and say, make it on your own.
	America first here.
	They come to America and it's a one-way conversation.
	They come to our country.
	They come to our White House and it's a one-way conversation of what can America do for you.
	Let's reverse that.
	I'd like to know what can NATO do for us.
	I'd like to know what can Israel do for us.
	I'd like to know what can Ukraine do for us.
	No, it's us giving to them all the time, over and over again.
	They come here hat in hand and they get everything they want from us.
	Meanwhile, the average American still lives paycheck to paycheck.
	Meanwhile, the average American still couldn't find Israel or Ukraine on a map.
	Meanwhile, the average American doesn't even know what NATO stands for.
	The average American doesn't want these international deals.
	They don't want these wars.
	But none of it matters because the deep state is still in control and the military-industrial complex is as powerful forever.
	And anybody that says that, oh, I voted for this as a Trump supporter, you're a liar.
	And you're why this country will never get any better.
	I'm furious.
	I'm outraged.
	This is not what I voted for.
	This is not a peacetime president.
	Oh, no, whatever.
	I'm sure it's all great.
	It's all good, guys.
	It's all good.
	Everything's great.
	Everything's fantastic.
	It's the greatest of all time.
	Greatest of all time, guys.
	Golden age.
	Golden age, peacetime president, Nobel Peace Prize.
	All great.
	Just, you know, war with Venezuela, war with Russia, war with Iran.
	It's all great.
	It's all fantastic.
	Can't wait.
	More.
	Let's get more of that.
	That's what we voted for, right?
	I'm so gaslit by this crap.
	I can't even move on to these stories now.
	So let me just go through this video list.
	Did you see Ted Cruz?
	Ted Cruz is the top Israel salesman in the Senate now.
	Here's Ted Cruz selling you on why Israel is so important, guys.
	Here, the United States provides roughly $3 billion in military assistance to Israel.
	The benefit we get from that, the Mossad, the intelligence resources.
	You look at Iran, where they knew where every.
	Oh, thank goodness, guys.
	If it wasn't for Israel, what would we do?
	Thank you, Ted.
	You sell out.
	You take a vote right now.
	You take a nationwide vote right now.
	And you ask the American people, do you still want to financially support Israel?
	Do you still want to provide foreign aid to Israel?
	80% of the people will vote no.
	That might be a conservative number.
	It might be over 90%.
	This is why they're working overtime to try to sell you this because of how unpopular it is.
	So, oh, oh, Israel is so great.
	It's even worse.
	Listen to what this pastor says.
	Listen to what this pastor says.
	You know, I've never heard anything like this until the last couple of years.
	And again, you have to understand this is all Israel propaganda.
	Look, folks, all this stuff gets misconstrued.
	All of this stuff gets misrepresented.
	You have to understand the current power structure in Israel with your Netanyahu's and your Ben Geveers, and then the money that they represent in America, the Edelsons and AIPAC, they all have the same psychology.
	And that's that the Jewish people are in a constant war for their very survival.
	They have the highest survival instincts, probably amongst anybody else.
	And so, you know, when you have these debates, there's, oh, the highest IQ, or they work the hardest, all this stuff.
	A lot of this is just survival instinct.
	A lot of this is trauma-based mind control.
	And in a sense, it's paranoid schizophrenia.
	They've been taught their entire lives that everybody's out to get them.
	They've been taught their entire lives that everybody's out.
	So they have this paranoid schizophrenia, trauma-based mind control.
	Everything is survival.
	Everything is a fight and a battle for their very survival.
	They've been taught this since they were born.
	So everything Israel does is for Israel.
	Everything they do is to promote the state of Israel and promote the Jewish state.
	There is nothing else.
	There is no other agenda.
	That's it.
	That's the only agenda.
	So now that they see they're losing support in the West, now that they see they're losing the support of young Americans, they're in this overdrive of propaganda.
	They're in this overdrive of trying to steer the narrative back in their favor.
	Now, it's not working, but they're extremely desperate.
	I have never heard anything like this before in my life.
	I've never heard anything like this before in my life.
	I have had, I have been around Jewish people my entire life.
	I've had Jewish friends my entire life.
	And I've never, ever heard any of them say or insinuate anything like this before in my life.
	I have never had a Jewish person that I know ever treat me like this like I'm lesser.
	Never.
	I've never experienced that in my life.
	If I have, it's usually from a liberal or some black supremacist.
	If I've ever experienced somebody trying to insert some supremacy, some personal supremacy over me, it would either be a liberal or some form of a black supremacist.
	I've never had any Jewish person ever insinuate something like this before.
	So why are we hearing this?
	Listen to what this pastor, John Hagee, says.
	Do you think you're helping the cause for Israel?
	Do you think you're helping the cause of the Jewish people when you say something outrageous and offensive like this?
	It proves that the Jewish people are the most unique people on the face of the earth.
	They are a chosen people.
	They are a covenant people.
	They are a cherished people.
	They are the apple of God's eye.
	The unchallengeable fact of the Bible is that Israel and the Jewish people are unique.
	Listen, Israel did not choose this uniqueness.
	God chose it for them.
	Listen to David's prayer in 1 Chronicles 17, 20.
	It's one of the most powerful words in the scripture.
	Oh, Lord, there is none like you, nor is there any God beside you.
	And who is like your people, Israel?
	Listen, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for himself as a people.
	Chosen and still cherished.
	Deuteronomy 7 and 6, for you, Israel, are a chosen people, a holy people to the Lord your God.
	The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for himself.
	Listen to this next sentence, a special treasure above all the people on the face of the earth.
	That includes the United States of America.
	That is quite literally, by definition, the promotion of Israeli supremacy and Jewish supremacy.
	see.
	There's no gray area.
	It's not even an insinuation.
	It is an outright declaration that Israel is a superior nation to the United States and that Jewish people are a superior people to non-Jews.
	That is exactly what he just declared.
	Now, again, I've had Jewish friends my whole life.
	I've never had a Jewish person ever insinuate anything like that to me before in my life.
	Why all of a sudden am I hearing this crap?
	It's because Israel is losing the narrative, folks.
	That's why.
	And maybe it is true.
	Maybe it is true, or at least believe it to be true, that without the United States of America supporting Israel, then Israel ceases to exist.
	But then wouldn't that go against your entire ideology?
	Wouldn't that be proof that you're a liar?
	If you believe Israel is superior and protected by God, and if you believe that Jews are superior and protected by God, then certainly they don't need us.
	Certainly they don't need our money.
	They don't need our military weapons.
	They don't need us at all.
	God will take care of it.
	So if you really believed it, then why do you care if we're against the foreign aid?
	Why do you care if we're against the war?
	They don't need us.
	So your actions indicate that you don't believe what you're saying.
	Do you really think this helps your cause?
	Do you think saying that Jews are superior to non-Jews or that Israel is superior to the United States of America, do you think that will help or hurt the fight against anti-Semitism?
	Do you think that will help or hurt the fight to continue America's pledge of support for Israel?
	Now, aside from the political aspect, let's just get down to the brass human aspect of this.
	Do you want to be told this?
	Do you want to hear this?
	Do you, an American citizen, want to be told that Israel is more important?
	Do you want to be told that Israel is the superior nation and you're here to serve Israel?
	Do you want to be told that you're basically here to be a slave for Israel?
	Do you want to be told that just because you're not Jewish, that you're an inferior being?
	Do you want to hear that?
	Is that what you want to hear?
	How is that going to make you feel about the issue?
	That is just an outrageous statement.
	It is a disgusting statement.
	It is a despicable statement.
	It is an offensive statement.
	I hope that there are Jewish leaders that stand up and say, we reject this.
	Yes.
	We don't believe any human is superior to another.
	We have our faith and you have your faith.
	But at the end of the day, we're all human.
	We all bleed red blood.
	I want to hear it.
	I want to hear the Jewish leader step up and speak out against this.
	Because if it doesn't, it just creates a vacuum.
	If that doesn't happen, this vacuum is going to be filled by hate, by disgust.
	And this whole trend that you're trying to push back on is only going to amplify now with statements like that.
	It's like, who was it?
	I think it was Michelle Bachman or someone came out.
	I forget who it was.
	They came out two months ago and said they wish that they were Jewish because Jews are better.
	They wish they were Israeli because Israel is better than America.
	That was somebody from the Trump administration.
	Just like Trump comes out, Marion Adelson cares about Israel more than America.
	All my biggest donors care more about Israel than America.
	It's like this gaslighting doesn't work.
	We can still hear what you're saying.
	We can still see what you're doing.
	How can you not be offended by that?
	Unless you're totally cucked.
	And that's why I said the only people right now that are cucks are the Israel loyalists, and they love it.
	I'm sorry to be graphic here, folks.
	But what is a cuck?
	Well, it's somebody that likes to watch his wife get pleasured by another man.
	And so that's what this is.
	All the Israeli loyalists, they love watching America get by a foreign country.
	They love it.
	And they sit there in the corner and they pleasure themselves to it.
	You are the biggest cucks in American politics.
	The Israeli loyalists are the biggest cucks in American politics.
	And I'd say you're on the verge, if you haven't already accomplished this, you are now on the verge of being bigger cucks than the liberals.
	Because at least with the liberal issues, it's all like domestic stuff.
	It's like they like watching America get screwed over, but it's like all domestic stuff that they're involved in.
	So it's kind of like America screwing America.
	These people sit in the corner of the room and they watch Israel screw America and they pleasure themselves to it.
	And when you're saying, hey, we're getting screwed here, they're like, hey, stop it.
	I'm enjoying myself.
	Stop disrupting me.
	I'm enjoying this.
	If you're an American citizen and you don't have something inside of you building, if you don't have a rush of adrenaline or testosterone building, when you hear somebody say that a foreign country is superior to you and your destiny on this planet is to serve a foreign country, if that doesn't do something to you, you are a cuck.
	You are pathetic.
	And you're an embarrassment.
	You're an embarrassment to the idea of what an American is.
	And I don't want to see you wearing your freedom shirts.
	You're cucks.
	That's what you should be wearing.
	I'm a cuck.
	That's what it should say on your shirt.
	If you celebrate this stuff, I don't want to see you wearing a freedom shirt.
	I want to see you wearing a shirt that says I'm a cuck because that's what you are.
	You're a political cuck.
	And you love sitting there and watching foreign countries screw our country over and over while you're pleasuring yourself in a corner.
	And then you get mad at us when we're trying to stop it from happening because you're having such a good time.
	I'm sickened by this.
	So congratulations.
	The military industrial complex is winning.
	And now you're told as an American that your job here is to serve a foreign country because they're superior to you.
	And then they're going to gaslight you.
	They're going to gaslight you and pretend like you're the crazy one or you're the bad guy or you're not America first.
	Unbelievable.
	Unbelievable.
	And, you know, I've got an example of this.
	Let me try to dig through some of these leftovers.
	Because I have an example of exactly what I'm talking about.
	Let me see if I can find this.
	you Thank you.
	Believe me.
	You don't want me back on the streets.
	You're not going to like what you get.
	You're not going to like when you find out who the real cucks are now.
	I don't know if I can find it.
	Well, it was basically a video of Sneeko who was out on the streets, you might say debating some of the pro-Israel people.
	And basically, he cucked them.
	He cucked them.
	Just like I used to go out and own the libs.
	It's the same thing.
	You cannot, your side cannot hold water at the end of the day.
	And if the canister to hold that water is America first, then you're inherently losing the debate.
	I'm trying to find it, but I can't.
	Maybe producer Dom can try to find it and present it.
	I'm just digging through my old files here, looking for it, and not finding it.
	I don't want to spend too much more time looking for this clip, so.
	may just abandon all right well Well, tried to find it.
	That's all right.
	That's all right, Dominic.
	I need to move on anyway.
	I'm just so fed up with this crap, man.
	I'm just so fed up with this crap.
	That is so insulting.
	But Tucker Carlson is the most popular political commentator in America.
	And despite the left and the right trying to cancel him, he spoke at last night's TPUSA event, sold out the arena, knocked it out of the park.
	Congratulations to Tucker Carlson.
	Congratulations to Turning Point USA for having a successful event, despite the left and the right trying to cancel you.
	Tucker Carlson last night at the TPUSA event.
	You know, the country really benefited from Charlie Kirk and benefited for that specific reason that you articulated so well, his ability to bring people together who had most things in common, but not everything, that ecumenical spirit, which was really necessary.
	I don't have that.
	I mean, I'm a completely alienating person.
	Like, people like me or hate me.
	You know, it's like, I wish I wasn't that way, but I am.
	Charlie wasn't, and he could hear people who had views that weren't precisely his and say, you know, I think I know what you're saying, or I agree with a lot of what you're saying.
	And we agree enough that we should be together on this.
	And I don't know who can do that.
	It's very obvious to me that the Republican coalition is fracturing over foreign policy, Israel specifically.
	And it's such a shame.
	It's such a shame.
	I mean, I obviously have strong views on this, which I've articulated and made myself even more hated, but it's not the only thing I care about.
	It's the only thing its advocates care about, that's for sure, which is really a shame.
	You know, but I would say on most things, the people I've battled with, Mark Levin or whatever.
	You know, I agree with Mark Levin on a lot.
	I do.
	I don't know.
	I mean, I'm very pro-family.
	I'm passionately pro-life.
	I think he is also good.
	Like, it would be worth being united on those things.
	But, and I'm not passing the buck.
	I mean, I think a lot of us are more divisive, including me, are more divisive or hot-headed than we need to be.
	Charlie had a lot of emotional self-control, which he was, you know, 20 years younger than me, and I admired that openly, and I told him so.
	You have control over your own emotions.
	You take proverbs seriously.
	Control your emotions.
	That's always been a struggle for me.
	That's a prerequisite for bringing people together, is curbing your tongue, not saying sharp things that you could say.
	But I do, so I'm not passing the buck.
	We're all at fault.
	And the worst people in the world are going to benefit from this if the fracture remains.
	But I will say that on the foreign policy question, the advocates on the other advocates of neocon foreign policy literally only care about that from what I can tell.
	And I would just urge them to, you know, broaden your concerns a little bit.
	Yes, I understand your emotional connection.
	I get it.
	And I'm willing to make allowances for it, but slow down a little bit.
	You don't have to hate people just because they don't worship BB or something.
	Like that, that shouldn't be the make or break issue.
	It's a foreign head of state.
	Like settle down.
	And hopefully they will.
	Well, they won't.
	In case you haven't noticed, they're only getting worse.
	And I'm just going to say this right now.
	And maybe I'll.
	Explain a little further.
	Where this comes from or what I mean by this.
	In the future.
	But we all saw how the woke left smeared Charlie Kirk.
	We all saw that.
	We all saw what the woke left did to label Charlie Kirk things he wasn't and to libel and slander and defame and smear Charlie Kirk.
	We all witnessed that.
	And we all watched Charlie die.
	But we all watched the woke left smear Charlie Kirk.
	Well, you know what's happening now?
	The woke right is smearing Tucker Carlson.
	The woke right is smearing me.
	The woke right is smearing anybody that disagrees with them on foreign policy, just like the woke left smeared Charlie Kirk.
	And we all know how that ended.
	And following logical consistency on the narrative that they want us to believe, then I would have to reach the conclusion that the woke right wants Tucker Carlson dead.
	The woke right wants you dead.
	Just like the woke right that smeared, excuse me, just like the woke left that smeared Charlie Kirk and wanted him dead.
	The woke right is now engaging in these exact same tactics against the likes of Tucker Carlson and anybody else that thinks and speaks like he does.
	Make no mistake about it, folks.
	There is no real difference between the roke, the woke left and the woke right.
	The difference is all political.
	The difference is all policy.
	The actual core, the actual energy behind it, the actual agenda and what they'll do to accomplish it, exact same.
	The woke right and the woke left will both do the exact same things to you if you disagree with them.
	And they want you dead.
	See if I have anything else on this topic.
	Tucker, very brave to continue speaking like that.
	I'll tell you that.
	All right.
	Let me get into the New York mayor's race drama.
	So I had the insinuation yesterday.
	I had the intuition yesterday that it was the Israeli lobby that was trying to get Sliwa out of the race.
	And there was plenty of circumstantial evidence to prove that.
	Now it's now pretty much everybody sees it.
	Now I'd say it's undeniable.
	So here's what we have today.
	You have Bill Ackman campaigning against Curtis Sliwa.
	Okay.
	So just again, this is clearly the Israeli lobby trying to get Sliwa out of the race, backing Cuomo because Israel is Cuomo's priority.
	This is a mayor of New York City, by the way, the mayor of New York City.
	And they're trying to have this race decided on loyalty to Israel.
	Okay.
	So, yes, it is the Israeli lobby that's attacking Sliwa.
	There's Ackman at it today.
	This was just a funny exchange.
	I don't know if we have any appetite for humor right now, but so Cassandra McDonald said the conservatives demanding people disavow people on the right for jokes in a group chat also want you to vote for a Democrat New York.
	That's Cuomo, the nursing home killer, the sexual assault allegations, Cuomo.
	So I make the joke.
	I say, yes, but it's obviously because of one common factor of never mind.
	So this neutral ground 55 times.
	And don't be scared.
	Just say it.
	The common factor is our closest ally, Ireland.
	That's good stuff.
	That's good tasteful humor right there.
	But getting serious.
	So this happened.
	So here's another Israeli lobbyist.
	He'll deny it, but you know.
	And I like Ayal.
	I have conversations with him.
	I'm trying to build a bridge between I'm going to become the peace negotiator in the media world.
	I'm going to bring in all these people that have beefs.
	We're going to bring them all together.
	I'm going to get Ayal and Myron Gaines.
	I'm going to have a peace negotiation with these two to come together.
	But obviously, he's very pro-Israel.
	And so he's sharing this.
	This is supposed to be a hit on Sleewa, by the way.
	So all the voices now, all the Israeli lobby voices, all the pro-Israel voices are now all coming after Sleewa.
	And they want you to vote for Cuomo because the Israel lobby has bought Cuomo.
	Now, I want you to listen to this exchange with Sleewa on a local radio show.
	And I'm going to break this down for you: how this actually exposes the entire double standard of the new pro-Israel right backing Andrew Cuomo.
	They think this makes Sleewa look bad.
	Sleewa has actually never looked better.
	And actually, I would argue that because of these attacks, Sleewa's chances of being elected are now higher than ever.
	The Israeli lobby going after Sleewa only makes him more electable.
	Think about it like this.
	And all the numbers indicate this.
	No Sleewa supporters are going to vote for Andrew Cuomo.
	It's not going to happen.
	If they're going to vote for anybody else, it's going to be Mom Dani, but they're not going to vote for anybody else.
	The people that are voting for Sleewa are only going to vote for Sleewa.
	Now, the people that are voting for Cuomo, who do you think they're more likely going to vote for?
	Sleewa or Mom Dani?
	Well, it might be a split.
	But many of those people that are voting for Mom Danny might not really like leftist policies, socialist policies, or even Mom Dani.
	They're just sending out a protest vote because they're so sick of Israel.
	And they're so sick of the Israeli lobby.
	And Mom Dani is vocally against it in some degrees.
	So it's a protest vote.
	Many of these people are only voting for Mom Dani because they're sick of Israel.
	Well, now that they see the Israeli lobby is attacking Slewa, they might actually go vote for Sleewa.
	Slewa is now the only candidate that could actually take votes away from Mom Dani.
	But listen to their logic of why they want Sleewa to drop out.
	And I'm going to explain to you why that's a total faulty logic.
	So far, you've been on this show for eight minutes, and all you've talked about is Cuomo.
	And I know you.
	So, so first they start him that first, they gaslight him like this.
	Oh, all you've talked about is Cuomo.
	You guys are the ones talking about Cuomo.
	You guys are the ones that are telling Sleewa to drop out of the race and back Cuomo.
	You guys are doing that.
	You guys are back in Cuomo.
	You're doing the advis for Cuomo.
	You're promoting Cuomo.
	And you're saying, hey, drop out for Cuomo.
	You guys are making this about Cuomo, not Sleewa.
	So there's the gaslighting right out of the gates.
	I hate him.
	And I'm going to be honest with you, Curtis, because we've been friends for a long time.
	I don't feel like you're running against Mom Dani anymore.
	I really don't.
	This hatred for Cuomo, which you've got a hundred times over.
	Hatred for Cuomo.
	What?
	Excuse me.
	Do we not remember 2020 and 2021?
	Do we not remember the pandemic?
	Do we not remember everything COVID did?
	Do we not remember everything Cuomo did during COVID?
	The nursing home, the nursing home menace, the nursing home killer, the lockdowns?
	What are you talking about?
	The entire right wing was against Cuomo.
	What do you mean?
	Oh, all of a sudden we hate Cuomo.
	What?
	That was common.
	Everybody was against Cuomo.
	The gaslighting continues.
	Like Janice Dean has has enveloped you.
	Janice Dean, great American.
	And now we're gaslighting over Janice Dean, one of the greatest people.
	You're 22 seconds in, and this guy has already gaslit Sleewa three times.
	To the point where I think you're losing sight of who you're running against.
	Cuomo's not in first.
	He's not in first.
	You have to leaprod Cuomo to beat the guy in first.
	Okay.
	So then why are you going after Sleewa?
	Slee was in third.
	Again, more complete illogic.
	If the logic is, hey, we have to be going after the guy that's in first, then why are you going after Sleewa?
	He's in third.
	These people are blinded, folks.
	They're blinded.
	They're retarded.
	They're filled with hate.
	I don't know.
	They can't see things clearly.
	Again, this is the new cuck right.
	That's what this is.
	It's the cuck right.
	And for whatever reason, they can't think logically anymore.
	For whatever reason, whatever has happened in the last 12 months, these people cannot think logically anymore.
	They can't do it.
	I don't know.
	Maybe they never could.
	But let me explain why this logic doesn't make sense beyond just the, oh, you need to be going after the guy that's in first as they go after the guy that's in third.
	If you combine the numbers for Cuomo and Sleewa, it doesn't matter who drops out and who doesn't.
	It's the same number.
	It doesn't matter.
	Whether it's Sleewa or Cuomo, it's still the same combination of two numbers.
	So it doesn't matter whether it's Cuomo or Sleewo, Sleewa, you still have the exact same number.
	So this idea that somehow, oh, it has to be Sleewa, it's the only chance we have.
	First of all, the numbers don't change and the numbers don't add up.
	Sleewa voters are not going to vote for Cuomo.
	It's not going to happen.
	But Cuomo voters might vote for Sleewa and Mom Dani voters might vote for Sleewa.
	So your numbers are wrong.
	Your math is wrong and your logic is wrong.
	I go to your page, I got to go 12 goddamn tweets before I see Mom Dani's name.
	This obsession with because Mom Dani isn't attacking him.
	The lobby that's backing Mom Dani is not attacking Sleewa.
	See what they do?
	They send all these people out to attack Sleewa under the name of Cuomo.
	And then Sleewa defends himself against these attacks.
	And they say, why aren't you going after Mom Dani?
	Because it's the Cuomo people stabbing him.
	All the Cuomo people are here stabbing Sleewa in the back.
	All these cuckright conservatives are stabbing Sleewa in the back.
	The only Republican that even dares run in New York City.
	The only Republican that even dares show his face on the streets of New York City every single day.
	And they say he's grandstanding.
	And all the Cuomo people are attacking Sleewa all day long.
	And he's like, hey, stop attacking me, Cuomo people.
	They're like, why aren't you attacking Mom Dani?
	Because he has to defend himself against you, freaks.
	The gaslighting continues.
	I'm not even a minute into this clip.
	And what is this?
	The third massive gaslighting against Sleewa?
	It's disgusting.
	Cuomo has to stop.
	He's not winning.
	You can beat Cuomo and still lose the election.
	Eight minutes in, you haven't mentioned Mom Dani once.
	Why?
	Let me tell you, I'm talking to WABC now.
	I'm hurt.
	I have armed security guards now protecting my life and Nancy's life.
	I've been bribed by the billionaires to drop out of here.
	If anything happens.
	By the way, that's the same lobby that's now backing Cuomo.
	It's the Israeli lobby.
	That's who it is.
	It's now totally confirmed.
	My reporting was right.
	Happens to me or anything happens to my wife because of this frenzy that I hear constantly coming from some of your colleagues here at WABC.
	It's on you guys and you gals.
	That my life, my life is on the line.
	What was I just saying?
	The woke right wants you dead.
	The woke right wants you dead.
	And now that's what Curtis Sleewa is going through.
	The woke right that's backing Andrew Cuomo.
	And now Sleewa's on the wrong side of it.
	Just like the woke left wants you dead, the woke right wants you dead, folks.
	And now Curtis Slee was on the receiving end of it.
	Here, Sid, my wife, Nancy, who has never harmed anybody who only cares about people and animals, is under threat now.
	Even when the Gottis and Gambinos put a hit on me, five hollow point bullets, I never had armed security.
	The frenzy that is coming out of people's mouths.
	And then you'll have influencers come on.
	Hey, what a great job they did.
	After October 8th, by the way, who is outside with you at Cooper Union soon after when Jewish kids were being attacked in the library by the Palestinian mob?
	I was with the Guardian Angels.
	There were only 40 people there.
	And look at how they just throw him overboard.
	Slee was literally on the streets with his Guardian Angels defending synagogues.
	Where was Cuomo?
	And now the Israeli lobby is backing Cuomo and throwing and trying to throw Sliwa under the bus after he literally put his body on the line to protect Jewish synagogues in New York City.
	The woke right wants you dead.
	Do not mistake it.
	They are no different than the woke left outside of policy.
	No different at all.
	Same core, same attitude, same application, same desire.
	Who has said that a million times?
	I don't protect the influence.
	All right.
	I got to move on from this.
	I've made my point there.
	We've got other things to cover.
	Where is...
	There's one more thing on this I wanted to get to.
	So...
	Maybe it's in my video list.
	Oh, oh, yeah.
	Oh, here's more.
	Here's more of the Israeli lobby.
	My instincts were right.
	My intuition was right.
	Now they're public about it.
	Here's more of the Israeli lobby backing Cuomo.
	Hey, I'm officially starting Hot Girls for Cuomo.
	So if you are a hot girl for Andrew Cuomo, I want to hear from you.
	That's Emily Austin, one of the biggest digital influencers for Netanyahu in Israel.
	By the way, she just started a new show.
	This is episode one of her show, and she gets an exclusive interview with Cuomo, and nobody has even seen it.
	I don't even think it got a thousand views.
	Think about that.
	All the influence money that she's gotten.
	And she's a, you know, she's a good-looking woman.
	That's all the advantage you need in media.
	And she can't even get a thousand views on an exclusive interview with Andrew Cuomo, and she launches her show episode one, exclusive interview with Andrew Cuomo, hot girls for Cuomo, doesn't even get a thousand views.
	And they forgot to purchase the website, hotgirlsforcuomo.com.
	And so now when you go to the website, when you go to the website, hotgirlsforcuomo.com, do you know what you see?
	The sexual assault allegations against Andrew Cuomo.
	That's fun.
	That's fun.
	So who really on the right doesn't have principles?
	The people that are backing Sliwa or the people that are backing Cuomo?
	Hot girls for Cuomo.
	It's so pathetic.
	All right.
	Boy, oh boy.
	I got to move on.
	I did tease this story earlier.
	So I'll at least mention it.
	This is an AIPAC connected, Palantir-connected candidate for New York 12.
	And by the way, we'll get more into this tomorrow, but APAC now knows that their candidates are unelectable.
	APAC now knows that anybody that takes APAC money is unelectable.
	So they're finding new ways to fund these campaigns without labeling it APAC.
	But I'll have more on that tomorrow.
	But so this guy, connected AIPAC, connected to Palantir, just set a record, $1.2 million in 24 hours.
	The Israeli lobby is still the most powerful lobby in this country today.
	That is the establishment.
	So if you're anti-establishment and you love the Israeli lobby, I'm sorry to tell you, you're not anti-establishment.
	So don't tell us you are.
	That's how powerful they are.
	They set the APAC, the Israel lobby sets records and fundraising every time, whether it's Wesley Ball, whether it's getting Jamal Bowman out, whether it's this Alex Borres guy, record.
	They spend more money than anybody else in politics, and they get the most results.
	I've got more on this, but since I'm running out of time, I think I'm going to shift to other stories as J.D. Vance is still running around Israel today.
	World court says Israel must allow UN aid to Gaza and ensure basic needs of Palestinians are met.
	They're blocking the aid.
	UN top courts rebuke Israel over Gaza aid restrictions during war.
	So neither side is holding their end of the bargain.
	ICJ ruling confirms Israel commits genocide, rejects settlement legalization.
	We just got to get out of it, folks.
	It's just out of control.
	Scandal in Sweden.
	This is the type of stuff that should not happen ever, not even once.
	The fact that this happens is like one time and it should never happen again.
	A court will not deport the refugee in Sweden who raped a minor because the rape didn't last long enough.
	Swedish justice ruled that the attack was not serious enough to justify deportation of the assailant of the rapist.
	An Alto Norland Court of Appeals decided that Yaza Ed Mohamed, an 18-year-old Eritrean refugee convicted of raping Maya Auberg, 16 years old, will not be deported once he serves his sentence.
	That's nice.
	That's good.
	Keep the rapist around.
	And then the same thing happens in Ireland, and protests break out, and the police have to go there and protect the migrants because the people in Ireland are sick of it too.
	Another Middle Eastern refugee raping a young European woman won't be deported.
	But hey, this is what all the white countries get now.
	This is what all the European countries get.
	This is what all the Western countries get.
	You know, the free world.
	They get invaded by these Easterners and then they lose everything.
	This looks like the 4th of July in America.
	This is the UK capital.
	This is London.
	This is Indians celebrating Diwali.
	Unbelievable.
	Unmovable.
	Thank you.
	Unfreaking believable.
	All right.
	Before I sign off, I do have a couple of things.
	I want to bring Dominic in to talk about a story that he's got another angle on.
	So, producer Dom, get yourself ready here as I cover a couple other stories to come on here.
	I want to talk to you about X's new policy on making you admit what country you're in.
	And I'm going to tie it into this other news story I have.
	I think I'm going to have to put off Corrine Jean Pierre until tomorrow.
	I think I'm going to have to put off some of these other videos till tomorrow.
	But Corrine Jean Pierre, I don't have time to cover Corrine Jean Pierre today, but Corrine Jean Pierre, we'll cover it tomorrow.
	So I'll just say this.
	She needs a new hairstylist.
	Who's ever doing her fake hair deal?
	You're a little thin on the side here.
	It's not a good look.
	Just we need like a couple extra strands of that fake hair that she's wearing.
	But Corrine Jean Pierre, she's cleaned up her look a little bit.
	She's going a little more mainstream type of a look.
	She's ramping up the rhetoric.
	She's kind of going against both parties.
	I think Kareem Bean, I think Corrine Jean Pierre, I think she's done it.
	I think she's going to get a TV gig now.
	I think she's finally done it.
	Where she wasn't, where she wasn't acceptable before, now she's becoming acceptable.
	A couple more changes.
	I think Corrine Jean Pierre gets the job.
	I mean, eventually they're going to have to do something with MSNBC.
	With Rachel Maddow, the biggest bum in network news, works once a week.
	We'll have to delay that till tomorrow.
	What is going on in space?
	NASA quietly activates planetary defense network for the three Eye Atlas.
	It's this comet or whatever's going on up in space.
	NASA quietly deploys planetary defense tools after Interstellar Visitor shows odd light behavior.
	NASA has quietly made a major move to defend the planet after the mysterious interstellar object displayed more strange and unexplainable behavior.
	I wonder if this has anything to do also with Musk going after Sean Duffy right now, who's basically trying to absorb NASA into the transportation office and basically kind of just, I mean, NASA is basically being dwindled down.
	It's being shaved off and dwindled down.
	I don't know.
	Nobody's talking about absorbing it into the Space Force, which you'd think would be the more natural fit.
	So I'm wondering if Musk is kind of panicked over this with all this weird stuff happening in space.
	And it seems like the agenda is to absorb NASA into the transportation department.
	Look, I'm not providing any opinion on NASA.
	Is it good?
	Is it bad?
	Is it a waste of money?
	You know, whatever.
	I'm just curious if Musk going after the whole NASA issue has anything to do with this.
	And Musk is concerned about the leadership at NASA not being properly prepared to handle some of this stuff.
	NASA deploys planetary defense tools.
	It's kind of heavy, isn't it?
	Planetary defense.
	By the way, this happened in the silence this week.
	Did you know they've officially dismissed the entire Mueller report now?
	The whole thing was a lie.
	As if you didn't know this, but this actually is a court filing from yesterday.
	The whole thing is now dismissed.
	They've dismissed the entire thing.
	The entire Russian collusion hoax, the entire Russian influence campaign in the 2016 election investigated by Bob Mueller.
	Now the entire thing has been dismissed, folks.
	The whole thing dismissed.
	The whole thing was fake.
	And you know what's funny?
	The only people that showed up in court were the Russians.
	Nobody from the intelligence community.
	Nobody from Team Get Trump showed up in court.
	Only the Russians did to declare their innocence.
	And now the whole thing has been dismissed.
	That thing just kind of happened.
	All right, before we sign off for the day, I'm going to bring in producer Dominic here.
	So this happened, and I've been seeing a lot more of this, these sim farms.
	This one just happened in Europe.
	They go in and they find these sim farms where it's basically they can run, say, 1,000, 10,000, whatever, all of these social media accounts through these things called Sim Farms.
	And they can basically just send out a protocol or send something out to one account, but then it goes out through 100,000 accounts.
	And so it can amplify things.
	It can make things trend.
	It can do massive social media propaganda.
	So we see that now.
	Now, this ties into another story.
	And I want to bring Dominic in as we close the show here today.
	Dominic, we were talking the other day about what's going to happen now that X is forcing its users to label what country they're in, which people will always find a way around it.
	But X just enacted this policy.
	Now, there have been some accounts that all of a sudden, now that X has a policy where you have to publicly state what country you're posting from, some accounts have all of a sudden changed their name and changed the entire account interface.
	What's going on with this?
	You know, what's so funny about this is that they typically would always say that all the botted responses or the artificial engagement was typically done by the anti-Israel crowd, as I like to call them.
	But what we've come to find out, and this is what many people suspected, is that a lot of these arduous pro-Zionist accounts, like the one that you're speaking of, is, I believe it was called Cheryl E or something of that nature.
	But what we've come to find out is that this person that was claiming to be a wife of an IDF sniper actually is a man that lives in New Jersey, has no actual affiliation with the IDF or Israel, other than the fact that he perhaps is Jewish or very pro-Israel as far as his political leanings.
	But he also falsely raised over $70,000 under these false pretenses, which I think might actually be a crime.
	I believe that's fraud.
	And like the other, what is the name of something like Vivid Prowess is another one of these infamous accounts that's extraordinarily pro-Israel.
	And many believe it's an Indian guy.
	So, you know, like we've talked about many times privately, the amount of influence operations that are happening right under your nose from people that are insisting that they are the most truthful.
	I mean, it's rampant.
	And truthfully, I mean, we can go into, I know there's not much time left, but we can go into the conflict of interest that even X has just on its face.
	I mean, the largest political donor for either side, you know, especially in this last cycle, was Elon Musk.
	And Elon Musk, who effectively was part of the Trump administration, runs the largest news platform, runs largest social media and political news apparatus.
	And I mean, that is such a potent recipe for just extreme government propaganda.
	And I think you've been seeing that being utilized on the pro-Israel side.
	So yeah, I think you're going to see quite a few of these accounts get outed.
	They're going to be so embarrassed that they'll either relabel or they'll outright sell their account.
	And actually, funny enough, Owen, very quietly, Twitter just last week is there rolling out a handle purchasing marketplace.
	So I think that, you know, those, these two, you know, the countries being the countries of origins being revealed as well as this new marketplace, I don't think that's a coincidence.
	They're coming out at the same time.
	I doubt it either.
	The one different angle that I take when you say pro-Israel accounts, I think it's a facade.
	I think a lot of these accounts, they portray themselves as pro-Israel accounts only to actually add to the anti-Israel sentiment.
	I actually think it's like a bait and switch with these anonymous accounts.
	Now, obviously, the pro-Israel side embraces these accounts thinking that they're on their team, these anonymous accounts that somehow somehow amass huge followings, despite being anonymous.
	I actually think they are there to create more animosity towards Israel.
	I think that the way that they post about Israel is actually meant to create more animosity.
	And so it's one thing when I get into a debate or I can actually talk to somebody that I engage with frequently, like an Ayal Jacobi.
	It's like, I know he's real.
	I can talk to him.
	I can debate him and we can have a passionate disagreement.
	But it's like, I know that's a guy.
	I know that's somebody I can talk to.
	I've talked to.
	I can see him.
	I know his name.
	Whereas these other accounts are just anonymous accounts that nobody knows who they are.
	Nobody knows where they're from.
	I actually think it's, I actually think it's a shadow campaign to make people dislike Israel.
	I think they're out there posting this pro-Israel stuff in a very offensive way, even a very aggressive way.
	I think it's actually done to create anti-Israel sentiment.
	But you think they're there as just pro-Israel bots like Sim Farms?
	No, I mean, I actually, I agree with that, but I think that's been more of a long-term play.
	Actually, I used to do quite a few spaces.
	And at some point in 2024, I was explaining to many people that I sort of thought that this whole freedom of speech thing on Twitter, and I don't know if people have noticed, but you know, Elon Musk has only referred to Twitter as a free speech platform one time since January of 2025.
	That's no longer being pushed on people.
	I mean, it might be loosely insinuated, but it isn't being directly said.
	But I think that this whole, I mean, I'm not 100% sure, but an inclination that I have is that this whole freedom of speech thing and a lot of the, you know, anti-Zionist, anti-Israel rhetoric that we've seen on Twitter over the last year and a half, two years, I think that was intentionally allowed in order to be able to justify one of the biggest acts of internet censorship that's ever been bestowed upon the American people.
	And truthfully, I think that's becoming pretty evident now.
	I'm not sure if other people are sort of sensing this direction, but I'm sensing that a freedom of speech crackdown is assuredly coming.
	Lots of times people will talk about, they'll theorize that maybe it'll be justified with a false flag.
	Maybe it will just be the fact that the rhetoric gets to the point where it's so extreme that they just say, and you're seeing it now.
	You're seeing Ben Shapiro say, we can't ally with these people.
	You're seeing Seth Dillon and a lot of these other usual suspects say, you know, it's irreconcilable.
	These are insane, violent people.
	They need to be purged.
	And I think a lot of that, and I think that perhaps even allowing a lot of the unfettered speech on Twitter may have been a long play in order to essentially silence all these anti-establishment, anti-Israel voices that are beginning to be very popular and emerging.
	And I was going to cover this.
	I'll mention it now since you brought it up.
	I was going to delay it to yesterday, but Barry Weiss's organization, the free press, which she just got $150 million from, despite nobody following it or knowing what it is, she actually just gave Seth Dillon an opinion piece here.
	This is an essay by Seth Dillon about standing up to evil, even on your own side.
	So it's basically an anti-right thing.
	It's exactly what you're talking about, the foolishness of no enemies to the right.
	So this is the woke right.
	They're already calling for censorship.
	They're already calling for a purge of anybody from the right-wing conservative, whatever you want to call it movement, if they don't support Israel.
	This is the woke right.
	And absolutely, absolutely, just like the woke left, the woke right will be engaging in censorship, or at least they're going to try.
	We'll see how it goes.
	But the woke right is going to try to engage in censorship just like the woke left did.
	And so, you know, here's where I'm coming from, because I've been through this.
	Dominic, good to hear from you today.
	Maybe we'll do super chats tomorrow.
	We're going to work on that.
	Hopefully we'll be hearing more from Dominic with super chats tomorrow.
	But before I sign off today, you have to understand something, folks.
	I've already been through this with the woke left.
	So I already know what the signs are.
	I know what all the different elements, all the different signs, all the different clues of where things are going.
	I've already been through this with the woke left.
	Attacked, censored, smeared, doxed, indicted, imprisoned, death-threatened.
	That was all from the woke left.
	Now it's the same thing happening on the woke right.
	Now it's the beginning.
	It's the smears.
	It's the libels.
	It's the attacks.
	Now they're ramping up.
	They're calling for censorship.
	Soon they'll be doxing you.
	They're already doxing some people.
	Soon they'll be trying to indict you.
	Soon they'll be trying to put you in prison.
	And when that doesn't work, it's the woke right.
	And believe me, do not doubt me.
	The woke right is now a bigger threat to this country than the woke left.
	And that's mostly just because they have the power more than anything.
	Ideologically, politically, the woke left is probably a bigger threat, but they have no power right now.
	The woke right does.
	They have their hands on the levers.
	They have their minds in the institutions.
	That's why the woke right is now a bigger threat to the country than the woke left.
	And that's why all the signs that I got from the woke left when they were in power, I'm now getting from the woke right.
	And I'm telling you where it goes from experience.
	The exact same thing.
	It's the exact same thing.
	All right, before we sign off, folks, remember, all the official Owen Report apparel can be found at owenschroyer.store.
	We're wearing the Owen Report polo shirt today for the first time in white, in white.
