Obviously, that I would say that President Putin is not afraid of Europe.
He's afraid of the United States of America as led by me.
There's no fear of Europe.
You know, Europe's fallen behind.
And Europe, and JD said it very strongly.
I don't know.
It took a lot of heat, but I didn't give him any heat.
Europe is a different place.
Europe is changing.
Europe has got to get its act together.
I love Europe.
I guess I came from Europe, essentially.
My roots are in Europe.
But Europe is a different place.
They have to get their act together.
Now they've said they have a great NATO leader, and they've gone up to 5% from 2% GDP.
That's a big step.
But they have to be very careful with their immigration policy and they have to be very, because, you know, I will just say to be nice that there are certain places in Europe that are very important that are no longer recognizable.
I'm being very nice.
I'm being very diplomatic when I say that.
They are not recognizable.
And they have to be careful on energy because they're putting windmills all over the place and losing a fortune.
They're destroying their country.
They're just destroying the beautiful landscapes, the beautiful everything.
By the way, in case you people don't know, I'm not much of a windmill person.
I can proudly say, Doug, that we have not approved one windmill since I've been in office, and we're going to keep it that way.
My goal is to not let any windmill be built.
They're losers.
They lose money.
They destroy your landscape.
They kill your birds.
They're all made in China.
And all you have to do is, you know, just about all of the windmills are made in China, the structures.
All you have to do is say to China, how many windmill areas do you have in China?
So far, they're not able to find any.
They use coal and they use oil and gas and some nuclear, not much, but they don't have windmills.
They make them and sell them to suckers like Europe and suckers like the United States before.
They are the worst form of energy, the most expensive form of energy.
And in eight years, they're rotted out anyway.
Go take a look at Palm Springs, California, and take a look at what that looks like.
It looks like a junkyard, a junkyard of steel.
So we don't approve.
And I've told my people, we will not approve windmills.
Maybe we get forced to do something because some stupid person in the Biden administration agreed to do something years ago.
We will not approve any windmills in this country.

Two questions.
On Venezuela, is it ultimately more important to you to establish stability there or democracy there?
This is going to be a big part of the show today, at least the opening.
My opening segment, before I knew Trump was going to be live while we went live at 3 o'clock Central, my opening monologue was going to be about Greenland.
On Greenland, Mr. President, why is it so important to you to own it when you have a military presence there, which you could expand to affect the security?
Well, we want to make sure that Venezuela can survive.
You know, Venezuela needs money, and we're going to make sure that they get money.
And we're going to get money.
And the oil companies are going to make something for the work they do, and they're going to get back their money.
We're devising a formula, but it won't be so much of a formula.
It's going to be what they need.
We're going to take care of what they need.
There'll be plenty left over.
We're going to have a lot of money left over.
And the money left over is going to the United States of America.
And the oil companies are going to be very happy.
Yeah, please.
unidentified
Would the administration offer a backstop to these oil companies for like financial guarantees, some sort of backstop if the country did destabilize again?
That's a very interesting question using the word backstop.
I haven't heard that word in a long time.
That was at the Wharton School of Finance last year.
That's a good term.
We ought to use it more often.
I hope I don't have to give a backstop.
I'm just looking these are very smart people.
The smartest people that are not only in oil and business, these are the biggest companies in the world sitting around this table.
They know the risks.
I mean, there are risks.
We're going to help them out.
We're going to make it real easy.
They're going to be there for a long time.
We're going to be there together for a long, long time.
And they're going to be taking the oil and they're going to be bringing oil prices down.
They're going to make a lot of money.
They're going to get their money back.
They're going to be safe.
The people of Venezuela are going to be big beneficiaries.
And the United States of America is going to be a big beneficiary for what we've done.
And you know, one other thing I might say, it's also very big for national security because, again, just like Greenland, we can't have China or Russia occupy Greenland.
We can't have China or Russia occupy Venezuela.
And if we didn't do what we did, China or Russia would have been in Venezuela.
Think I can measure Mr. Chevron.
So let me ask you: they would have been there if we didn't do this.
Do you agree with?
unidentified
Now, this is certainly have a lot of economic interests in the country.
Folks, my guess is that's that's Netanyahu that told him that.
My guess is that's Israeli intelligence that said, Donald, if you don't move into Venezuela, China and Russia will take it.
We can't have that, Donald.
You have to do this for us.
And they don't.
Maduro, not friendly with us, so you need to do it.
So I'm guessing that's just more false intelligence from Israel to trick the American people into doing something on their behalf.
And you can tell by the response from the oil executive there that he's not saying that.
He's like, I don't know anything about China and Russia wanting to take it, but you know what?
We're going to go in there.
We're going to do a good job with it.
So I think that that shows you that's Trump getting probably propaganda intelligence from Israel to believe that Russia and China were going to take it no matter what.
And the fact that the oil executive was kind of hedging in his response, I think is the proof there.
I'll refer you back to the statements I made before.
There are a number of legal and commercial frameworks that would have to be established to even understand what kind of returns we'd get on the investments.
So I think all the investments and the opportunity sets, I think everyone sitting around this table would have the opportunity and the know-how and the capability to make the investments.
The questions will ultimately be: how durable are the protections from a financial standpoint?
What are the returns look like?
What are the commercial arrangements, the legal frameworks?
All those things have to be put in place in order to make a decision to understand what your return would be over the next several decades that these billion-dollar investments would be made on.
Because we have, again, the biggest people on the planet Earth around this table, biggest companies in the world.
I'd like to just ask him to introduce himself.
We'll start from this end and go around to here.
And if you have anything to quickly say, we can do that.
But you want to just start right over here.
These two guys, we'll leave them out because they're with us.
Please.

Thank you, President Trump.
John Addison at VTOL.
We're here to ensure that you are going to be able to move all of this oil all around the world at the best price possible so that the influence that you have over the Venezuelans will ensure that you get what you want.
We're working with your administration, Mr. President, to bring that Venezuelan oil to the United States, our first vessel should load in the next week.
And thank you for opening the door to a better Venezuela.
We are a Spanish company, but we are fully committed to invest here in the States.
We have invested over the last 15 years $21 billion in the American oil and gas industry in Pennsylvania, in the Gulf of America, in Texas, and in Alaska with the discovery of PICA that is going to have the first oil this quarter and is going to change, is going to reverse the declining history of that great state of Alaska.
We are in Venezuela, Mr. President.
With our partners of ENI, we produce the gas that guarantees the stability of a half of the crew power in Venezuela.
So we are committed with this stability.
And on top of that, we are on the ground.
We have people.
We have facilities.
We have technical capabilities.
And I take your point, Mr. President.
We are ready to invest more in Venezuela.
Today, we are producing 45,000 barrels a day gross of oil.
And we are ready to multiply by three this figure in coming two, three years, investing hard in the country, following your recommendation, if you allow us, of course, and in the framework, commercial and legal framework that could allow this growth.
On behalf of the men and women of Marathon Petroleum and of our industry, thank you and the administration for what you're doing for U.S. energy independence.
We have the ability and the capability of our assets to process Venezuelan crude, and the people of Marathon Petroleum stand ready to do so.
We are the largest American oil-field services company.
We're the second largest in the world.
Been in business over 100 years.
Started operations in Venezuela in 1938, long time in Venezuela.
I personally lived there for four years and raised my kids there.
So quite familiar with Venezuela and just couldn't express gratitude more so for the opportunity to return to Venezuela under the stability that I know that this team and your team are able to deliver.
We found significant fields in Central and South America, in the Middle East, and in Europe.
We're a leading oil producer in Hungary.
But probably the most pertinent example is what a wildcatter does is take on risk and try to reduce it.
Then other people come in and put more capital in later.
So we're kind of kickstarters in the oil industry.
We went into Kurdistan very early on back when people told us it wasn't safe and we shouldn't do it.
We found a big field there and it ultimately has got to be developed along with one of my colleagues here to be one of the big leading fields in Kurdistan.
We think that Venezuela has a tremendous amount of opportunity.
If you look at the reinvestment required, the investment required, people are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars.
But if you put that in perspective, that's a million barrels a day for 15 years, it's $220 billion net cash flow.
So what we really need to do is to be able to kickstart production and then reinvest and have the confidence to reinvest.
What you're doing by putting the United States in control of the cash flow coming out of the country gives country companies like ours the confidence to say we can kickstart this production and then reinvest and reinvest.
In Hungary, we've invested a billion dollars in changing the trajectory of Hungarian oil production.
We were only able to do that not because we could write a billion-dollar check.
We're a smaller company, but because we reinvest all the cash flow back in the new production.
All right, it's starting to get a wear a little thin here.
I want to keep monitoring that.
I do think it's important this introduction that's happening right now.
I do think it's important.
I do think it's important for Trump to have these people speak their minds.
It's just getting a little long-winded now.
And I'll say this again: the show kind of gets thrown off kilter today because this meeting goes long, but I think it's an important meeting to cover.
You know, my coverage today, my news today was going to be, it still will be.
I was coming in today with a much better attitude, a much more positive outlook on things.
Not to say that the issues that we have remain, but if you recall, it's like, okay, we have to now deal with the playing field that we're on.
And so we're all frustrated.
We're not getting the Epstein files.
I think we all know why.
We're all frustrated.
I don't think we're going to get deep state arrests.
I think it's pretty clear why we're not going to get deep state arrests.
The incompetence of Pam Bondi is obviously a big issue, but it's like, okay, we can't talk about these things for four years.
So those will likely go down as big losses, big L's.
But it's time to start talking about the things that are on the field and what just happened in Venezuela, what's going to happen with Ukraine, what's going to happen in Iran, and thus the Middle East.
And now, you know, you're sitting here with all these big oil executives, and, you know, they get a bad rap.
And I think that that's mostly because of the Bush administration more than anything and their history of their close ties with U.S. military interventions in foreign countries.
And so that's going to happen.
But it's hard for me.
I can't complain about American energy being powerful.
You know, I don't like the routes that we take.
I don't like using the military to do this stuff.
But I'm not going to sit here and complain if American energy companies get more powerful.
I'm not going to complain about that.
And ultimately, that will be good for our country.
Energy prices will go down.
So I don't like how we do it.
But if the result is positive, I can't complain about the result.
I can complain about the process and we will have issues with that.
And when we talk about the larger geopolitical issues today, I'll kind of explain this with a little less nuance and a little more detail.
But it looks like that's the goal here: to just make the American energy companies really powerful.
And hopefully that benefits the country.
No doubt it'll benefit them.
Nobody's denying that these policies will benefit the special interests.
But if it benefits the country, then we will have to accept.
We will have to accept and potentially celebrate that.
So we'll see.
We'll see what happens.
And, you know, a lot of my stuff was going to be about Greenland today as they're still going around the table doing introductions.
If the president takes questions again or if they continue this, we'll pick it back up.
But it looks like maybe he'll close it when these introductions are done.
I was going to talk about Greenland a lot today.
And I see people, I do have the chats open.
You guys are disagreeing.
You don't think it'll benefit the people.
It's a fair concern.
You know, this is a debate.
This is a process.
This is a debate.
This is going to be a major, this is now no doubt, this is going to be a major measuring stick for success of this administration.
This is going to be a major measuring stick for this administration, whether or not they can lower energy costs.
Now, I'd like to see the country get more into nuclear and start looking at other options when it comes to energy, because quite frankly, we're going to need it with all this AI.
Musk is about to build the biggest super computer in the world, he claims, in Mississippi.
They think that the AI think that these AI supercomputers and data centers and processors are going to eventually take up 20% of U.S. energy consumption.
So, we're talking about something that didn't even exist really 10 years ago, and now it's going to be 20% of energy consumption.
So, yeah, you're going to need energy.
You're going to need energy for this.
So, that's where the motive starts to come into question.
And I think that that's why people start to be concerned about: well, are we doing this to benefit the country?
Are we doing this just to benefit the special interest?
Is this all about building the AI power grid, government, surveillance?
These are all fair questions.
But I see you guys.
You guys are highly contentious in the chat today.
So that's fine.
I respect that.
Highly contentious in the chat.
I get it.
You know, it's been a contentious week.
We've had a lot of policy issues with this administration.
We feel betrayed.
We think it's all going the wrong direction.
But I was coming in today.
I just, I've got a better feeling today than normal.
It's not, not, not that anything has changed as far as past criticisms or how I feel about this administration.
I guess I just have just accepted what we're getting and what we're not is more of what it is.
I'm not, I'm not clinging to it anymore.
And we'll still have an issue, and it'll always be juxtaposed against the failure to arrest the deep state, against not exposing the Epstein files.
Everything will always get juxtaposed.
Those will always be in the background, and those will always be major failures.
But it's like if we sit here and we're stuck on that hamster wheel, then we're not moving forward.
So I don't know.
Maybe that's why my attitude is kind of fresher today.
But hey, I'm accept the criticism.
I see the chat.
Maybe we'll hear from you guys today.
You're still contentious.
You're still upset.
Perfectly reasonable.
I'm not telling you not to be.
I'm just telling you my mindset kind of shifted last night.
And then I really started to look at the Greenland angle.
And yeah, so I'm getting messages now.
Oh, I'm pro-Trump now.
So here we go.
Can everybody just take a deep breath?
Come on, guys.
It's Friday.
All right.
It looks like this deal's coming to a close.
Let's just have one day to enjoy ourselves.
How about that?
All right.
Owen got the call.
I'll take the calls.
I don't care.
I'm okay.
Criticize me if I'm not negative enough today.
I just, I can't do it all the time, guys.
Do you really want me to come on here every day and be negative?
Come on.
Come on.
Do you really want to hang on to not getting the Epstein files, to not getting deep state arrests?
Do you really want to make our entire political lives about that for four years?
And maybe you do.
And maybe this is all about proving a point to Trump.
I think that point will be proven in the midterms.
I got a ton of news to cover, but the chat is intriguing.
The chat is really intriguing.
Really, a lot of extremists, a lot of extremists in the chat today.
I'm just trying to keep it real.
I'm just trying to keep it real.
We're going into the weekend.
Everything is contentious.
Everything is hot.
We've been very negative lately, myself included.
I'm just, folks, it's not healthy.
It's not good.
It's not productive.
I'm not changing any of my stances.
I'm not going to kiss the wall.
I haven't gotten a call.
I did have some interesting calls today.
I did have some interesting calls today, but not like that.
So, okay, I can already tell this show is going to be interesting.
Do not leave.
To the haters, to the people that are upset with the direction the show has gone so far, do not leave.
I am excited for this.
I like the contention.
Bring it on.
Bring it on.
Okay.
So stick around.
I'll open phone lines for you guys.
You can call in and scold me and tell me how I'm wrong today.
I look forward to that, actually.
That'll be fun.
That will be fun.
We're not kissing walls and we're not kissing asses.
Okay.
We're not.
We're not kissing walls.
We're not kissing asses.
So let's do this.
Let's hit a brief reset.
Let's hit a brief reset.
We'll forego kind of the intro like normal, and we'll just dive into the news.
Let's just do it like that.
But you know what, guys?
I'll just say this.
And I do welcome the criticism.
I do.
I really do.
I invite it.
I welcome it.
I like it.
It helps keep me sharp.
It helps keeps us all balanced and even.
So don't hesitate for the criticism, but I am going to tell you, we're not blackpilling today.
We're going to try to be a little more positive today.
I got the same news, guys.
We're going to do the same news coverage.
I got tons of news.
So that's not, the show is not changing.
I'm just telling you, at least for today, I'm not going to sit here and clench my fists over the things that I have to accept that we're never going to get.
So let's look at what was, let's now look at what's on the table and go from there.
So that's what we're doing today.
But hey, if you don't like that and you want to call in and complain and tell me I'm too positive or I'm kissing asses or kissing walls, then I welcome that.
I think that'll be good.
Owen Bongino, flip-flop Schroer.
These are the messages I'm getting.
All right, bring it on, guys.
I'm okay with it.
That's fine.
That's fine.
At least wait until I get to the news.
At least, can we just wait until we get to the news before you really decide what today's show outcome is going to be?
Can we at least do that, guys?
All right.
Can we at least wait till we get to the news before you guys start rushing to any conclusions about today's show, please?
I'd really appreciate that.
I'd really just like to be able to get to the news before you guys jump to any conclusions here.
All right.
So let's just remember it's a Friday and that life is good.
Okay.
Let's just do that.
All right, guys.
What are you doing to protect your assets?
What are you doing?
I got to tell you, it's almost, it's almost every day I open up the news and I see a story about precious metals, about gold, about silver.
I'm in some of these groups and some of these messages.
And now the market is moving so fast with gold and silver that a lot of these companies are having to kind of reconsider how they want to handle these prices that are going up in such a rapid fashion.
But here's what you need to think about.
Here's what I'm thinking about.
How do we protect our wealth?
How do we protect our assets?
How do we protect ourselves from a stock market collapsing, from the dollar collapsing?
And a lot of people have decided, and rightfully so, the best way to do it is precious metals.
So that's why I've partnered with Allegiance Gold.
And you can too, by going to protectwithoin.com.
Now, folks, we all know the issues with the central banks.
We all know the issues with the currency, the dollar.
We all know these issues, the stock market.
We all know the issues.
So you want to be smart.
You want to make a good investment.
You want to protect your wealth.
It's been proven.
Gold, silver, right now, it's being proven more than ever.
And I got to say, right now, too, when you go and you go to protectwithowen.com or you call my friends at allegiance gold right now, give them a call, 844-790-9191.
By the way, they want you informed.
They want you to call, ask questions, ask all the questions you want, feel confident before you make any decisions.
They want you to feel confident in that.
But qualified investments can get $5,000 in free gold and silver.
$5,000 in free gold and silver is a lot less today than what it was a year ago.
So just think about that.
Just consider that.
$5,000 in free gold and silver with qualified investments right now from our friends at allegiance.gold, whether through your 401k, IRA, savings, they make it simple to move into precious metals.
So give them a call, ask them anything.
They care about you being informed, making a good decision.
844-790-9191 or go to protectwithowen.com.
That's protectwithowen.com.
Protect your wealth, protect your freedom because no one else will.
And this is one of those times where, once again, gold and silver turns out to be a solid investment.
Thanks to our friends at AllegianceGold, give them a call or go to protectwithoin.com.
I probably shouldn't start with why Mark Levin is a national security threat.
Very important clip from Mark Levin today to understand why he is a national security threat.
But I will say, at least Mark Levin is being honest.
At least Mark Levin is being honest about how he feels about you.
The question is, are you listening to what he's saying?
And do you understand why he's a national security threat?
So we'll get to that in a second.
Let me do this.
Let me just do a brief kind of monologue here before we get into the news.
So we obviously see all the geopolitical movements happening right now, and Trump has basically pushed the pedal to the metal on all of this as far as his foreign policy is concerned.
And of course, the big issue that a lot of Trump supporters have, a lot of Americans have, is our foreign policy being utilized to benefit Israel?
Is it being used to benefit the United States?
Is it being used to benefit the special interests, the foreign interest?
Is it being used to benefit the American people?
You know, that's the big debate.
And I think when you look at everything that we've seen for the last year, we're almost a year into the administration.
All signs point to this foreign policy is to benefit the foreign interests and the special interest.
And you could argue that today's meeting with the oil executives is more proof positive of that.
But I'm watching all this develop last night, and we're talking about Venezuela.
And I've got a clip.
Trump goes on hand and he says he wants to strike Mexico now.
So now we're fighting drug cartels again.
It's just, you know, it's all so nonsensical.
And then you got what's going on with Iran.
You got these protests in the streets.
Apparently, dozens of protesters have been shot and killed.
Trump says you better not kill them or we'll shoot you.
So I don't know what's going on with that.
Does Trump not know that there are dead protesters in the streets?
Now, of course, I don't believe that this is organic.
Mossad is running this color revolution in Iran.
And what they'd probably like to see at this point, because they're not getting the full cooperation, I mean, Netanyahu wants Trump to just send in the military and just bomb the hell out of Iran.
And Trump won't do it.
So instead, Trump says, well, look, I'll support you in your effort for regime change, but we're not going back in with more strikes right now.
So Israel sends in its boots on the ground to run this color revolution in the streets, and they hope that they can overthrow the government with the people on the streets.
But it's not organic.
Now, I will say this: I find it funny.
Forget about the left.
Let me just put this pre-qualifier out there.
You know, we're having these conversations.
I don't need to come on air and tell you about how the left is deranged, okay?
Everybody knows that.
And there seems to be this new thing on the right where it's like, if I don't come on here and I say, hey, you know, the Democrats are corrupt and the left is really deranged and liberal progressives are the problem, then it's like they can't, it's like they can't hear anything else.
So it's like they need this pre-qualifier before they can listen to anything else you say.
So it's like, if I come out here and I say, boy, liberals are retarded, it's like, ooh, yeah, ooh, okay, yeah, yeah.
Now I, now I can listen to you.
But it's like, if I don't come out here and say that and I start talking, it's like they can't hear you.
They don't want to hear you.
I shouldn't have to say that.
We all know liberals are deranged.
We all know Democrats are corrupt.
We shouldn't be talking about them.
We just whooped their ass in the election.
We shouldn't be talking about liberals.
We shouldn't be talking about Democrats.
They're not on the field.
They're losers.
So anyway, I find it funny watching these Republicans that scolded us for January 6th.
I find it funny watching these neocons and the Republican establishment that scolded us for January 6th, called us insurrectionists, called us traitors, and now they're out here celebrating what's going on in Iran.
You guys are such phonies.
I'm so sick of you.
And by the way, what happened on January 6th was organic.
Now, obviously, the feds got in there and they ran their operations on the ground and the rest is history.
I'm not revisiting that issue.
But the people showed up on January 6th to support President Trump because they stole the election from him in 2020.
That's what we were there for.
Millions of people showed up.
That was organic.
That was a real patriotic movement that then got used by undercover feds to do what we now know happened afterwards.
But I'm sitting here and I'm watching all these Republicans and they're on Fox News and they're on local news.
They're playing these clips and they're on, you know, C-SPAN, everything.
And they're talking about how great it is, how great it is that the Iranian people are out here trying to overthrow their government.
And I'm like, wait a second, you guys were just scolding us.
You guys were just scolding us five years ago for doing the exact same thing.
So we support Iranians when they're being led into this by Mossad.
We support Iranians on the streets wanting to overthrow their government and burn all these building downs and everything else.
But when Americans want to stand up for fair elections, when Americans show up in our capital to peacefully protest, patriotically protest a stolen election, you scold us.
And that shows you everything you need to know about these neoconservatives.
That shows you everything you need to know about these Republicans.
They don't work for you.
When you, an American, want to stand up and peacefully protest against a stolen election, they scold you and they call you a terrorist and they call you an insurrectionist.
But when Iranians are out there doing it, being led by Mossad, they're heroes.
They're celebrated.
They're supported and told how great they are.
As if the knife that these Republicans stab in our back nearly every day isn't sharp enough, isn't large enough.
Now they want to twist it in.
Now they want to twist it in there too.
It's like, yeah.
It's like, oh, yeah, you showed up to protest the stolen election on January 6th.
You're an insurrectionist.
We don't stand with you.
It's like, okay, so you just stabbed us in the back.
All right.
And then they come out and they say, but the Iranian people, the Iranians that are protesting and burning their cities to the ground, we support them.
It's like, twist the knife.
It's like, yeah.
So anyway, I'm watching all of this develop last night.
The drama in Venezuela and then Trump saying, we'll strike Mexico for the drug cartels.
The drama in Iran building with these protests.
And maybe even some Ukraine speckled in.
And then people talking about Greenland again today.
But I'm watching all this last night.
I'm like, okay, everyone's talking about Venezuela.
Everyone's looking about Iran.
Where are people not looking?
And when you understand how politics works, how the shadow government works, when you understand how even just Trump operates, there's always the distraction campaign.
And that's not to say that what's going on in Iran isn't important or what's going on in Venezuela isn't important, but there's always the mechanism of, hey, when everybody's looking over here, what's really going on over here?
It's like, where can I go where nobody else is going and poking around and looking around and trying to find the other big significant things happening?
And then you go.
It's like you're at Gatsby's party or something.
It's like you're at the big, great Gatsby party, and everybody's over here partying by the pool and the buffet table and the lounge and the ballroom.
And you're like, yeah, it's really busy over here.
I'm going to roam open.
I'm going to roam to the library.
You head up to the library and oh, there's Gatsby taking a phone call.
You're like, oh, wow.
So I'm doing this last night.
I'm like, everybody's over here in Iran.
Everybody's over here in Venezuela.
So I, for whatever reason, I'm up late and I'm digging into this Greenland situation.
And I am convinced at this point, and I don't know, maybe we might have some disagreements with the audience today.
I suppose I could monitor the chat for this breakdown just to see, because you guys are already upset today.
And I'm looking at Greenland.
And I'm thinking, okay, what's going on with Greenland?
Why are we talking about Greenland?
The trade, the land, the geopolitics of it.
And I'm looking more into it, and I don't want to spend too much time on this, but I will say, I am actually now, I am supportive of taking Greenland.
That is one action that I would fully support.
I don't like what we're doing in Venezuela.
I hate what we're doing in the Middle East.
I detest what we're doing in the Middle East.
I think it's evil.
I think it's diabolical.
I think it's bad karma, let's say.
And I love this idea of people like, hey, well, you know, no Americans died and we didn't lose any equipment in the Venezuela attack and there's no larger war.
And I'm like, well, there's no larger war yet.
You know, these, these, these, these pundits and these commentators don't think, they don't seem to understand how the real world works.
They think all of these things happen in a vacuum and all of these things are isolated.
No, they all paint a larger picture.
They all paint a larger picture.
It's like if you're in your neighborhood, say, and you have a party till 3 a.m. and you're loud or whatever.
And okay, none of the neighbors complain.
They don't call the cops.
And you're like, oh, wow.
Well, then you do it again.
And then you do it again.
And then they show up and they say, hey, can you keep it down?
Maybe.
And then the next time they call the cops.
And then the next time, I don't know, they show up with a gun.
So it's like none of these things are isolated incidents.
Everything is a buildup.
Everything is a larger picture in a long time development.
So it's like, yeah, there isn't a bigger war yet.
Yeah, we haven't escalated things yet, but this is just a larger picture that's being painted.
So I'm looking at Greenland.
I would support Greenland.
I'm against, again, just to be clear, totally against our foreign policy in the Middle East.
We need to divorce from the Middle East.
We need to totally cut Israel out completely.
And I don't support what we're doing in Venezuela, but I would support taking Greenland.
And I thought about it like this: there is nothing negative that can come of it.
There is nothing negative that can come of it.
And I don't even care.
You could do total aggression and just take it militarily.
You could try to buy it.
You could move in militarily and then hold a vote and ask the people if they want to be a 51st state.
I'd make it a 51st state.
And so I'm looking into this and I'm thinking, could this whole thing even be about Greenland?
And I know that that sounds crazy, but when you understand how Trump operates, it may actually make sense.
Could this entire thing be about Greenland?
Could it be about the rare earth in Greenland, the natural resources of Greenland, not just the landmass and the geolocation for trade and everything else?
Maybe there's something else with Greenland, folks.
Maybe there's something else where Greenland is very important.
And here's what I would like to see.
I'd like to see the United States take Greenland.
I really don't care how they do it.
Buy it, conquer it.
Doesn't even matter to me.
And I'd like to see every single military base in Europe shut down.
And I'd like to take all of those troops and I'd like to bring them home, or we can station them in Greenland for strategic reasons.
Because here's what's going to happen: NATO is coming out.
And NATO is saying, if you go into Greenland, we don't consider you a NATO country anymore.
Great.
Amazing.
We don't want to be a NATO country anymore.
So NATO says we're kicking you out.
Okay, kick us out.
We'll bring all of our troops home out of Europe.
We'll set up a military installation in Greenland.
We'll put them there.
Maybe we have something in Germany just because they're so embedded there.
I don't know.
But I would pull all of our troops out of Europe because I think this is the realization now, folks.
We can't, Europe is gone.
Europe is gone.
Now, if Europe can pull itself out of the abyss that they've created for themselves, then maybe we can consider strategic relations again.
Europe is gone.
And the few countries that aren't totally gone are very, they're isolationists.
So they're not really too concerned about these geopolitical issues anyway.
I would take all of our troops out of Europe.
I'd move them into Greenland.
And now it's such a great geographic location for trade.
I guarantee them to you, there's rare earths and minerals in Greenland that they probably want.
So I really don't care.
I don't care if the military takes it.
The people of Greenland aren't going to fight it.
They might like it.
They might vote to become a 51st state.
I don't care if we buy it.
I am actually pro taking Greenland.
I don't like what we're doing in Venezuela.
I don't like what we're doing in the Middle East.
But I would say Greenland would be the Greenland would be the big move.
I wouldn't even mind making it a 51st date or turning it into U.S. territory, whatever.
That's what people are talking about.
I don't care.
I think Greenland is actually the big move.
And I wouldn't be surprised if when all the dust settles on this, Greenland ends up being the play, and then Trump turns down the temperature, and everybody's so relieved after Trump ratchets up the temperature to 200 degrees and then takes Greenland and then turns it down.
Everybody will be so relieved that he turned the temperature down and then we just end up with Greenland.
I think there's something there.
I think there's something there, folks.
And I think that they know it.
But they want everybody looking at Iran.
They want everybody looking in the Middle East.
They want everybody looking in Ukraine.
They want everybody looking in Venezuela.
And of course, there's real stuff happening there.
But I think he really wants Greenland.
And then, oh, we get kicked out of NATO.
Beautiful.
And we bring our troops home.
Wonderful.
These are good things.
These are positive outcomes.
There could be tons of negative outcomes for what we're doing in Venezuela.
There is no positive outcome for what we're doing in the Middle East.
None.
There is nothing but negative outcomes for what we're doing in the Middle East.
Not for us.
No positive outcomes for us in the Middle East.
None.
Never has been.
But I see nothing but positive outcomes from going into Greenland.
And it gives Trump kind of his legacy stamp, his Donroe doctrine, his manifest destiny, his expansion of America.
What's under that ice, guys?
What's under that ice?
You know, I'd kind of like to know.
I'd kind of like to have it.
And I see nothing but positive outcomes there.
So let's see.
Wonder how you guys will feel about that one.
I'm angering you guys today.
I'm too positive today.
You guys don't like this.
You wanted negative Owen on a Friday?
I'm for it.
I'll take the criticism.
I'll take the criticism.
I'm okay with it.
I can handle it.
Totally fair to disagree, but I just did a deep dive into it last night, and I just did not see any negative outcome of taking Greenland.
I don't see any negative outcome.
I see nothing but negative in the Middle East, and I see mostly negative in Venezuela.
I don't see any negative in Greenland.
And you can do it as aggressively or as passively as you want.
My guess is you could probably have a vote and the people of Greenland would vote to join the United States of America.
I bet you could do that.
Or just take it militarily, let NATO spaz out, kick us out of NATO, save ourselves hundreds of millions of dollars annually, and then start strategic relations with Russia.
These are all good outcomes.
I see no negative outcomes.
No matter what angle I look at, I see no negative outcomes on the Greenland angle.
None.
None.
So that was me up till like 4 a.m. last night doing this.
But let's see.
It's hard to tell you guys in the chat.
You know, sometimes you're facetious or sarcastic.
Sometimes you just want to hate and just be nasty.
I don't know.
I'll take calls on this today if you disagree.
But we just closed out the first hour.
First hour in the books.
I'm going to come back and actually get to the news and the content for today's show.
unidentified
You're listening to The Owen Report on the Wynn Network.
I love it when the CBC bros are in the chat, by the way.
I love seeing my CBC brothers in the chat.
That's great.
All right.
It's almost a daily occurrence with my high school friends now.
So I want to put something into perspective.
And we talk about this a lot.
And I had a couple phone calls today with some pretty influential people.
And we're talking about, these are younger guys, Gen X guys, and we're talking about the future.
Vladimir Putin, 73 years old.
Donald Trump, 79 years old.
Xi Jinping, 72 years old.
Ayatollah Khamenei, 86 years old.
Benjamin Netanyahu, 76 years old.
Narendra Modi, 75 years old.
And the individual that posted this also expresses the opinion.
All these leaders have lived their lives and are now destroying world peace and the future of coming generation.
Generations, the world needs young leaders.
You know, I've been saying this for a long time.
I think putting all of this on a screen with the age really just puts a lot more force behind it here.
But that's what it is.
And I was talking to a couple of, let's say, really influential people that get access to high places.
And this is their concern.
And, you know, you have to be respectful of people.
But I find it funny, all of these MAGA sycophants that attack me when I don't support everything Trump does.
If you guys knew who I talked to, if you guys knew who likes my work and likes my post that you guys complain about, you guys are not as you're not as in power as you think you are.
You're not as popular as you think you are.
Okay?
A lot of people that are really close to this administration have a lot of high access to this administration, have a lot of influence online, but they don't like, you know, they don't like posting politics all the time.
They don't like telling their opinion all the time, but they're there.
They're in there.
Oh, they reach out to me.
They reach out to me.
They try to figure out what's going on.
They listen to me.
But I'm having a conversation with a couple of people like this today, and we're reaching these same conclusions.
It's like, look, we do believe that future generations of Americans, if given the chance, can have America first policy, can have policy and politicians that don't sell our country out, hollow our country out, and destroy our future.
We really believe that.
The question is, are we going to have a country left?
Is there going to be a country left for us to preserve?
Is there going to be a country left for us to take back and say, okay, we're reinvesting in America.
We're repatriating everything.
We're making America America again.
We're only going to have policy that benefits America and Americans.
The question is just, will we have the country left to do it when we finally get that day?
Which might be 2028, might be 2032, but eventually that's what's going to happen.
This is the boomers' last gasp.
I've been saying it for years.
This is the boomers' last gasp.
And so obviously they're going all in with Trump, and Trump is playing ball with them.
And so they want to finish all of these plans.
Now, I don't think they'll be able to pull it all off.
I don't think they'll be able to pull it all off, but that's what they're doing.
That's what they're doing.
They're going for everything.
All of these plans that have not manifested, all of their geopolitical moves that have been met with either failure or obstacles, they're just going for it all, folks.
They're going for everything right now.
This is Trump is the boomers' last gasp.
But when they're done, when they're finally done with all of their war and all of their death and all of their destruction and all of their theft and all of their fraud and all of their treason and everything else, when it's finally all done and the sun sets on what was probably the biggest failure of a generation politically for this country, what will we have left afterwards?
Will Trump leave us with something afterwards?
That's the question.
And what will that thing be?
But these are the conversations that people are having behind the scenes.
Now, by the way, there were a couple examples of this.
The Trump administration is posting QAnon slop again.
I got one of them up here.
I could probably find the other one.
So the White House posted this picture of them destroying pizza and hot dogs.
Now, for anybody that was around for Pizzagate and the WikiLeaks emails, you know exactly what this means.
Pizza is coded language that pedophiles and child sex traffickers use.
And hot dogs is also coded language for sex trafficking as well.
And you just need to go into CIA, FBI databases, and they tell you this.
They know that these are the coded languages that they look out for.
And then if you go into the WikiLeaks emails, you find the hot dog references, you find the pizza references, and it's obviously coded language.
Because if it's not coded language, it simply doesn't make any sense.
It only makes sense if it's coded language.
And it's, and it's so, you know, the crazy thing about this too.
So again, you're watching this video.
The White House shared this video of them blowing up pizza and hot dogs.
And people are like, is this them blowing up the child sex trafficking networks?
Is this them blowing up the pedophile networks?
Is this them blowing up the Satanist networks that all got revealed in the WikiLeaks emails?
And it's so funny because, you know, I'm watching, there's all this fraud being exposed now, and I've got some of it coming up.
There's all this fraud being exposed in Ohio, Texas, California, Pennsylvania.
I mean, you name it everywhere.
New York.
And yet it was still the Somali story with Nick Shirley that got any response, got any traction, got any reaction.
And so that tells you there was a level of astro turfing to it.
Now, I'm not making any accusations of Shirley, but clearly, for whatever reason, that story was astro-turfed to get all the attention.
And I'm not even saying he had anything to do with it other than it was just his report.
But it's funny watching that.
And I'm like.
For so many people, because Nick Shirley's a younger guy.
He's probably come up, you know, in the last four years or so.
And I'm watching this and I'm watching a lot of these new personalities that are starting to come of age.
And they're starting to get the invites under the network news and they're starting to get some viral content online.
They're starting to gain some following online.
And I'm watching the stuff that they get excited about.
I'm watching the stuff that they think is like some big reveal.
And I'm sitting there and I'm like, man, if only you guys were around for Pizzagate, if only you guys were here for everything we discovered and went through during Pizzagate, it's honestly, it was the biggest thing of all time.
I mean, we got them.
We got them.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like, if you watch that Somali fraud stuff and all these other fraud videos, it's like, okay, we got him.
Yeah, we got him.
We'll see if there's, we'll see if there's a rest or not.
We'll see what happens with it.
But we got them.
I mean, we got them.
When you got John Rocker in the field now, he went to like 30 different daycares, didn't see a single child.
These are daycare hours, no kids around.
It's like, okay, you got him.
You caught him.
I mean, folks, we caught them.
Literal Satanist pedophiles.
We caught them.
Way, way worse than all the Somali stuff.
So much worse.
I don't even want to go into detail, folks.
I mean, we got them.
We got them.
And it was like it kind of just went away.
And then the QAnon stuff started to build up.
And then QAnon kind of became the distraction.
It was like, oh, no, all of this stuff is happening behind the scenes.
Don't worry about it because we got them.
So it's like, was QAnon the psyop for all of the people that saw what happened with the Pizzagate reveal from the WikiLeaks emails, from the wiener laptop?
I mean, you think the Hunter Biden laptop was bad.
I mean, folks.
So it's like we caught them with all the Pizzagate stuff.
And then it was like, oh, QAnon says that they're all in control of it.
They're taking care of it.
So don't worry when you don't see any action.
Well, now the administration is posting the QAnon stuff.
There were two different accounts.
I think it was the Department of Defense or something.
There were two White House accounts that posted Patriots are in control.
And then another one posted trust the plan.
This is all QAnon.
And you go back to two weeks ago when Trump posted that weird image from Israel with 9-11 and the dead bird.
And people were like, this is QAnon slop.
So the White House is posting QAnon slop three times yesterday, three times, blowing up hot dogs and pizza.
And then another post with trust the plan.
And then another post with Patriots in control.
They know what they're doing, folks.
They know they are posting QAnon slop.
So you can only reach one of two conclusions.
You can believe that QAnon is real, or the White House is posting QAnon slop to keep you sedated, to keep you thinking that there's something happening behind the scenes dealing with all of this stuff, to keep you believing that that's what's going on.
When at the surface level, all you're seeing is corruption and lack of the action that we voted for.
I don't know any other conclusion you can reach.
They know what they're doing.
They know when they post a video blowing up pizza and hot dogs that people are going to say, oh, this is them symboling they're taking down the satanic pedophile networks.
They know when they post a picture saying trust the plan and they post a picture saying patriots are in control, they know that's QAnon stuff.
So, why are they posting it?
It's a fair question to ask.
It's a fair question to ask.
All right, we go back to there's new footage now.
Okay, we don't change our plates every so.
This is the footage from the ICE agent that took the fatal shot.
We now have cell phone footage from that ICE agent's point of view.
So, let me just play this for you, and then we'll get into the reaction.
So, this is again the ICE agent that took the fatal shot on Renee Good recording this in real time.
This is what it looked like from his point of view.
unidentified
I'm not mad, boy.
We don't change our plates every morning, just so you know.
They'll be on the same plate when you come talk to us later.
Anyway, so the feds are going to have full jurisdiction over this investigation.
And so I think it's fair to assume that this agent is going to walk.
I don't think the feds are going to find him guilty of anything.
So the agent is now probably going to walk.
The feds have total control over the investigation.
So he'll probably walk.
Now, this is just going to cause the protests to be even worse.
And there were massive protests all over the country last night, including here in Texas.
There's ongoing protests in Minneapolis where this happened.
But the guy's going to walk now.
The guy's definitely going to walk.
Minnesota's out of the picture.
The feds are going to do the investigating.
And so he's going to walk.
And I'm looking at the response from the left in the streets.
I'm looking at the response from the left in the media.
And I'm like, you know, you guys could have the opportunity to maybe be at least in kind of some neutral ground here where right and wrong isn't so clear.
And you're just, you're just, you're so cringeworthy.
You're so out of your minds.
You're so, you're so bat shit crazy that you're just going to blow it and nobody's going to be on your side.
Okay.
And now, and now nobody's going to feel bad for you because you're taking a situation where it kind of is like, well, you know, it's open for interpretation.
This woman made a mistake.
She put herself in a bad position.
She got fatally shot.
And it's like, yeah, it's okay.
It's kind of open for debate and interpretation.
And they just come out and they're just so batshit crazy that they're just not going to get any support.
So I was never in the defense of this woman in the car anyway, but I was like, well, let's look at this.
And, you know, there's a fair debate to be had here.
I'm out.
I'm out.
The agent's going to walk.
You guys are batshit crazy.
And here's what needs to happen.
This cannot happen again.
And it's tough, folks, because we support the First Amendment and you have a right to protest, but somebody has to come out.
Somebody has to take the lead here.
And it probably should be Christy Noam.
I don't know if she's competent enough, but somebody needs to take the lead and they need to step out in front of a podium and they need to see, look, here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
We have 40 million illegal aliens in this country.
15 or 20 million of them came in under Joe Biden and Mayorkas.
A couple million of them are violent criminals, really bad guys.
We have to get them out and we are going to get them out.
And if you are in law enforcement's way, you are going to be arrested, period.
And we may not arrest you on the scene.
We may not want to get into a confrontation with you on the scene.
We don't want to chase you down.
We don't want to stand in front of your cars, but we will find you.
We will arrest you.
You will face charges.
Now, I'm not suggesting we put a bunch of people in jail.
I'm not suggesting we turn this into a January 6th style persecution, but you have to put these people on notice right now.
After this, you have to put them on notice and you have to say, here's the deal.
We respect your right to protest, but the minute your protest becomes obstruction of law enforcement, you're getting arrested.
And we may not write you a ticket that day.
We may not put you in handcuffs that day, but we will ID you.
We will get your license plates and we will find you and we will charge you.
And you will get a ticket.
You will get a citation for obstruction of law enforcement.
And then you will deal with having to hire a lawyer or everything else that comes with it.
So this is obviously a difficult game, folks.
There's nothing easy about this.
These liberals are out of their minds.
They're deranged.
ICE is in a difficult position where they have to do these deportations, but these bastards are in the streets blocking them.
And again, none of this would be a problem if Pam Bondi would just shut it all down.
If Pam Bonnie would just go after the groups that are funding and organizing this, the people that make the apps, the email change, the text threads, all of it, then this probably wouldn't be an issue.
But you know what?
We don't have a competent attorney general.
Pam Bondi is a joke.
She's doing nothing.
So Christy Noam has to come out and make an adjustment.
You need to come out and do a press conference and state it very clearly.
We are not looking for a confrontation with you.
We are upset with how this situation ended up with Mrs. Good.
But here's the deal moving forward.
You will get arrested if you obstruct law enforcement.
You will get arrested.
We are doing these deportations.
Do not disrupt us.
And if you do, you will be getting arrested.
And then you actually start making arrests.
You actually start making charges.
Again, I'm not suggesting we put a bunch of people in jail, detain them for a couple hours, release them, whatever, give them a ticket, make them go through the system, make them go to court, get it on their record.
They'll have to pay for a lawyer, all of it.
Just make them go through the headache of it.
Spend a couple days dealing with lawyers and all that.
Spend a night in prison, whatever.
I don't want to see a bunch of mass arrests.
I don't want to see these people in prison for years.
That's not what I'm talking about.
There has to be some determent here.
And Bondi is not doing her job.
So Noam has to come out and state it loud and clear what the policy is moving forward.
So, yes, if you're standing in the street, maybe we don't want a confrontation with you.
Maybe you'll go home that night, but we will ID you and we will charge you.
And you will be seeing us in court because it's just outrageous, folks, and it's only going to get worse.
And now they're out and they're doing the same crap that they did before.
Again, where is Pam Bondi?
So now they're going out and they're shutting down streets.
They're shutting down streets.
They're building these blockades.
They're building these little tent cities.
They're doing the same thing with the barricades and the tents.
I'm done.
I'm done.
I'm not with you guys.
This could have been your moment to say, you know what?
This is a situation that's kind of gray.
And maybe we can have a fair evaluation and a fair conversation about this.
But no, you guys just can't do it.
You liberals just can't help yourselves.
You are so deranged that here's an opportunity where maybe some people might look at this and say, oh boy, I don't really like that.
Maybe we need to review this and try to avoid any more American civilian casualties.
But you can't help yourself.
You just, you couldn't tone it down for a day.
You couldn't calm it down for a day.
You couldn't take a day off.
You couldn't leave ICE alone.
You just, you just ramped it up a hundred times.
And I'm sure it's all the same groups that Pam Bondi refuses to shut down that are convincing them to do this.
So I'm out.
I'm done.
The agent's going to walk.
I don't care.
I'm out.
You guys can't be reasonable.
You can't be rational.
And now you're just asking for more of it.
Okay?
So I'm out.
I'm not going to complain when the agent walks.
I'm not going to complain the next time one of you dumbass liberals stands in front of a car and gets run over.
I'm out.
I'm out.
All of the voices of reason on the right, all of the voices of reason in the middle that might have been open-minded to saying, hey, we don't want to see this again, or hey, we should review the actions of the agent.
You guys have blown it.
You've blown it.
Nobody wants to be anywhere near you guys anymore.
I'm not going to complain the next time one of you guys has to deal with this crap.
I'm out.
I'm out.
And maybe too.
Eventually, what's going to happen is, I mean, the far right already reached the conclusion that they probably think that getting mass deportations is more important than, you know, not killing the woman who's obstructing ICE.
These deportations have to happen.
And it is basic law enforcement.
This is their job.
These deportations have to happen.
This is their job.
So if you're going to go out there and be a dumbass, if you're going to continue to fall for the leftist propaganda that's using you as cannon fodder, and you can't even sit back, the one time where you might be in the right, the one time where one of your guys, one of your girls, might actually be a victim of law enforcement, the one time where it's kind of a gray area, maybe, where there's kind of room for debate, where a lot of voices of reason on the right and in the middle are like, well, let's see,
let's investigate this.
No, you can't even, you can't even just push pause to say, hold on, let's all just pump the brakes here.
A woman just died.
Let's pump the brakes and let's try to calm the temperatures.
No, no, you guys, you went all the way extreme again.
So I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm done with you now.
If you would have calmed down, if you would have been blocking the streets, we could have had the debate.
And maybe when this agent walks, I could have said, you know what?
This is a bad look.
I'm out.
I'm done.
You guys are all idiots.
And I'm one of the voices of reason.
I was getting attacked from the right for not standing with ice when this woman died.
Now I'm sitting here.
I'm saying, you know what?
Take a damn plow truck and just plow through this stupid barrier that they put in the street.
Just run them all over.
Just, you guys are such idiots.
I'm just, I'm so done with you.
If you are that stupid, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
So congratulations.
You've done it again.
You've done it again.
You've taken reasonable voices on the right.
You've taken reasonable voices in the middle.
And you've shoved us right back as far away from you as possible.
So have fun.
Go play with your street corn.
Go play with your little cones.
Go build your little barricades.
Go build your little tent cities and all the other crap you're going to do.
I'm out.
I'm done.
The next time one of you guys gets run over or whatever the hell else, I'm done.
You guys are not reasonable.
You're not even trying to be reasonable.
And now I hope that you guys do get arrested for this.
I'm done.
I'm out.
So the deportations have to happen.
And if you're going to get in the way of it, then that's on you.
Okay.
We tried to help you out with this woman.
We tried to calm the temperature down.
We tried to say, let's push pause and let's just rethink some things, but you guys couldn't help yourself.
You couldn't help yourself.
And since Pam Bonnie's not going to do her job, Christy Noam has to come out and make a statement and warn these people.
She has to come out very loud and clear that if you're out in the middle of the streets obstructing law enforcement, you're getting charged.
You're either getting arrested on the spot or we're going to charge you in the aftermath because we're trying to avoid confrontations.
But this is how it's going to go.
We can't tolerate this anymore because you guys are choosing to put your lives in danger.
The ICE agents, they just got into a gunfight with a couple of gang members in Portland.
This just happened.
Federal agent shoots two people in Portland.
DHS officials describe them as Venezuelan gang members.
Two people shot by federal agents.
Southeast Portland Thursday afternoon, Portland police and the Department of Homeland Security confirmed their conditions are not currently known.
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced he's launching an investigation into the shooting.
He said, we have been clear about our concerns with excessive use of force by federal agents in Portland and nationally.
We have also been clear about our intent to investigate circumstances involving agents to ensure they are accountable to acting within the scope of their official duties.
Today's incident only heightens the need for transparency and accountability.
Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and the security of organs are protected.
Shut up.
Shut the hell up.
You guys made these sanctuary cities.
You guys brought in the illegal alien gang members.
Shut the hell up about public safety.
Shut the hell up about concerns about law enforcement.
Shut up.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like, you know, I could have been open-minded to trying to find a way to just try to like, can we do the deportations and protect the First Amendment and, you know, let everybody have their peace here.
Well, you know, and they say I don't offer solutions.
I'm telling you, folks, tax every single dollar that these people are sending back to their home countries 80%.
Every dollar they send back to their home country, take 80 cents of it.
And guess what?
This all stops.
And if it doesn't, then you know, we get a little money out of it.
Cut off the welfare, repatriate the funds, and none of this happens.
There's your easiest solution.
And many of them will deport themselves.
Why is this so hard?
Why can't somebody figure this out?
Paging Christy Noam, paging anybody.
They'll leave.
Take away all the advantages that they get from coming here.
Take away their welfare.
Tax all the money they're sending to their home countries, and they will leave.
They will leave.
And then you don't have to put ice in the streets dealing with these leftist terrorists.
John Rocker is on the scene, guys.
John Rocker is on the scene.
You got to play John Rocker.
Okay.
You know, I got to play John Rocker going to the Mondique.
This is the Mondique Daycare in Ohio.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
I'm getting screamed at in some kind of Swahili.
Come here.
Someone there.
Oh, oh.
Here we go.
Here comes the fucking costume.
My wife dropped my son off in this location.
I need to come pick him up for a dollar's appointment.
Yes, here.
LeBron.
LeBron.
Uh-huh.
No, she's my wife lying to me.
No, no, no.
I'm not.
I'm not an officer.
I mean, evidence.
No, I'm a reporter.
No, no, no.
Absolutely no.
You got my kid in there, LeBron.
I'm not good with.
Maybe you can provide insight or information.
We have a license.
I'll do it.
I'm like, go back to the homeline and ask our license.
No, it is my job to investigate the use of public funds.
I don't need permission.
I'm a citizen of Ohio and I'm a taxpayer.
And I'm actually here as an investigative reporter simply to ask you if you receive government funding, if you've been visited, and what your impression is of the allegations.
That's the biggest complaint of every Republican on the House Soversuck Committee is there haven't been enough arrests.
Now, some of these issues, I don't know, it's going to be hard to arrest people.
With the Biden AutoPIN scandal, what we produced in our investigation is evidence that the pardons and executive orders that were signed with the Autopin in the last year of the Biden administration should be declared null and void.
Now, President Trump tweeted after we issued our report that he was going to declare them null and void, but I don't believe the paperwork's ever been done, and you're still going to have to go to court for that.
But our congressional investigation will serve as basis to uphold the declaration of those pardons and executive orders being declared null and void.
Someone for the Department of Justice just has to take it to court.
I mean, let's just be fair, and we can complain about congressional Republicans all day long.
You know, I'm right there with you.
But it's like what happened yesterday with Anna Paulina Luna with, I think it was Tim Walz.
I forget what the story was.
And they had the hearing with the Minnesota state reps about the Somali daycare fraud.
And she says, she says at the end of her time and her conclusion, and she says, I'm sending criminal referrals to Pam Bondi's desk.
And there's the problem.
So look, the congressional Republicans, I'm not defending them.
But when they have these hearings and they show the public the corruption and then they send criminal referrals or anything to Pam Bondi's desk, that's where it dies.
Now, they could be a lot louder against Bondi and the DOJ, but you know, it's party politics.
So they just, you know, they just send it over there and then they shut up and they say, hey, I did my job.
So yeah, that's not, that's not, that's not commendable.
It's part of the problem.
But no, it's Pam Bondi.
Pam Bondi is the liability.
Pam Bondi is the problem here.
And I'm just, again, I've, my conclusion is Trump likes having her around because she can just take the blame for everything.
So Trump knows she sucks.
Trump knows she's a complete embarrassment, but she, when things don't get done, everybody just blames Bondi.
So, I mean, how many criminal referrals are sitting on Bondi's desk?
And she already failed with Letitia James.
She already failed with James Comey.
Now they're talking about bringing those back up.
It's just like so you can probably hear the frustration in Comer's voice.
It's like, yeah, I'm not going to directly call out Pam Bondi, but we send this stuff to the DOJ and it dies.
I don't know what you want me to do.
Pam Bondi is beyond a liability.
She is, she is beyond a letdown.
She is a, I mean, folks, it is so bad.
It is so bad.
Pam Bondi is where justice goes to die.
Pam Bondi's desk is where criminal referrals go to disappear.
She can't get James.
She can't get anyone.
She can't shut down these leftist groups that are out there causing deadly incidents with ICE.
And Trump won't fire her because she's the perfect scapegoat.
She's so bad.
It's unreal how bad she is.
It's unreal how incompetent.
It's like you couldn't even try to be that incompetent.
I'm not even sure if she shows up for work.
And it's like Bongino crashes out on everybody in his audience.
It's like, hey, how about maybe, you know, talk about why Pam Bondi hasn't done anything, Dan?
You know?
Have you seen the latest drama with Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene, by the way?
This is pretty wild.
Trump orders Secret Service probe into MTG, fearing stunning betrayal after security breach.
Donald Trump reported his longtime ally turned bitter foe, Marjorie Taylor Greene, to the Secret Service after fears she leaked the location of his dinner to a group of pro-Palestinian protesters, triggering a dangerous confrontation.
So there was a group of code pink protesters where Donald Trump was having dinner the other night at a place called Joe's Seafood.
And they're blaming this on Marjorie Taylor Green.
Now, Marjorie Taylor Greene has come out and denied this entirely, saying she has nothing to do with it.
And I don't, you know, when I first heard this, I was like, I don't know.
I could see, you know, Marjorie, she got the death threats.
She got some bad things happening to her and that and she tried to get help from Trump when this was happening.
And he said, too bad, it's your fault.
So maybe there was some bitterness there.
And I don't know.
I was like, oh, maybe Marjorie, you know, I don't know.
But then she made her statement today, and it was very, very loud and clear.
And she's denying this.
So I'd say Marjorie probably didn't do it.
But at first, I was like, you know, I could see this, a lot of bitterness, a lot of nastiness.
And then after everything that Marjorie went through from Trump dunking on her, maybe she was like, okay, you want to play that game with me?
So here's a leftist group shows up to protest Trump.
And again, what are we doing?
We're going after Republicans.
What are we doing here?
So Secret Service is going to sit here and investigate this.
Again, Pam Bondi can't get these people off the streets.
Pam Bondi can't shut down the fundraisers.
Pam Bondi can't shut down the organizers.
So I don't want to hear about Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Fire Pam Bondi.
And speaking of Bongino, so now they're just being public about the gatekeeping.
I'll give Bongino, at least he's being honest.
He says, yes, gatekeeping is absolutely going to happen.
There isn't a business, sports team, or organization on earth that would do otherwise if they wanted to succeed.
Well, this is politics and you need votes, Dan.
But I guess your low IQ is showing.
You don't allow cancers into your clubhouse and then plan to win baseball games.
Like you mean, Mark Levin, because you seem to love him now.
You know, Dan Bongino.
Have you seen who he's been reposting, guys?
I mean, slop of the slop.
Like, dude, this is your team now.
So he goes on.
So they're gatekeeping true patriots now.
So Dan Bongino admits he's gatekeeping true patriots.
So thank you for that.
At least he's being honest.
And I guess in that vein, we'll go to Mark Levin.
Now, just sober yourself up for a minute here.
Kind of just recalibrate and refocus here for a second.
Take a deep breath.
What you're about to hear from Mark Levin is going to be maybe the most important thing you've ever heard as far as our relation with Israel, the Zionists, and their agents operating in the United States of America.
What you're about to hear from Mark Levin, and again, I give him credit because he's being honest.
And not only is he being honest, he's telling you that this is how everybody feels.
He's just the only one that's willing to say it.
But I want you to listen very carefully to what Mark Levin says here, and then we'll add a little context afterwards.
But when you listen to what Levin says and you understand what he just says, what he just said, you'll understand the problem.
And you'll understand why Mark Levin is a security threat.
And he says anybody who gets in the way of Israel's interests is collateral damage.
These psychos will blow up the entire planet, ladies and gentlemen.
Mark Levin is a national security threat.
And these people influence our foreign policy.
And this is how they think.
Do you understand how serious this is?
Do you understand how dangerous this man is?
Do you understand how dangerous this ideology is?
Now you can ask yourself this.
Is this Mark Levin being a Jewish supremacist?
Is this Mark Levin being an Israeli first agent?
Or perhaps this is Mark Levin, a victim of trauma-based mind control, where these people are stuck.
They think the Holocaust is happening 24-7, 365 days a year around the clock.
So everything is the Holocaust 24-7.
And Mark thinks every waking breath that he takes has to defend against the next Holocaust.
And he thinks white European DNA is the biggest threat against his people to be the next Holocaust.
And that's why he says any collateral damage, meaning any dead people, any non-dead, any non-Jewish dead people is collateral damage and they don't care.
And this is the person that runs foreign policy, folks.
These are the people that run foreign policy.
And they tell you he views himself as an Israeli.
And he says any non-Israeli that dies to protect Israeli interests is just collateral damage and so be it.
And he says, I'm just the only one brave enough to say this stuff.
And then he's up there clawing President Trump.
This is a sick, psychotic man.
So I don't know if this is trauma-based mind control and Mark Levin is just in some psychosis where he's so against white people and Americans because he's afraid of the Holocaust 24-7.
Or maybe Mark Levin is just a psychotic, bloodthirsty maniac.
And the only thing he cares about is the interests of Israel.
And if the whole planet has to burn to protect those interests, he just says it's collateral damage.
Mark Levin is a national security threat.
Mark Levin talks like a person that needs to be institutionalized.
And instead, he's up there clawing President Trump and having influence over foreign policy.
But at least he's being honest about how he feels.
And at least he's telling you, by the way, everyone else in my ilk thinks and talks like this behind the scenes.
I'm just the only one brave enough to say it publicly.
Mark Levin is a national security threat.
And every American needs to understand exactly what he just said.
And it's already been proven, folks.
These people will send every single one of you to die if it's to protect Israel's interest.
And if they're true practitioners, then they believe they're the superior people.
They believe they're God's chosen people.
You're just a slave.
You're just cannon fodder.
He said it.
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Did you hear what Mark Levin just said?
Are you putting two and two together?
Do you now know why Americans die in the Middle East?
Do you now know why Americans have their wealth and their fortune and their blood and their treasure and their future sacrificed for Israel in the Middle East?
Do you get it now?
He just said it all out loud, and he called himself an Israeli.
He doesn't even view himself as an American.
And you bet your ass that he meant every single word he said.
You bet your ass he did.
And these people control your foreign policy.
And these people have influence over the decisions that we make militarily.
And these people have influence over the decision to put American men and women boots on the ground in situations where they might have to die because of psychotic freaks that run our foreign policy like Mark Levin.
And boy, if I really want to ruffle some feathers, hey, Mark, how many American Jews are in the military compared to American whites and American blacks and American Hispanics?
Yeah.
You better understand what Mark Levin just said and you better respond accordingly.
And you better think about who's running our foreign policy and whose interests they put first and to what degree they do it.
I thank you for your honesty, Mark.
U.S. seizes another oil tanker in campaign to control the flow of Venezuelan oil.
The Olina was seized overnight in the Caribbean Sea.
The U.S. military said Friday the ship had departed Venezuela, attempting to evade U.S. forces.
So a lot of this is going on.
They said the fifth, I believe, this is the fifth oil tanker.
And they say, and they say, oh, well, nothing bad has happened.
Yeah, nothing yet.
Oh, well, there's no larger war.
Yeah, no larger war yet.
Like these things don't happen in a vacuum.
These things don't happen in isolated incidents.
Like, tell me you don't understand the first thing about geopolitics without telling me.
Now, the interim president, she doesn't consider herself that.
They all still consider Maduro to be president.
And now apparently, Trump is like the lady, the fake Nobel Peace Prize winner who they're saying, oh, she's supposed to be the next president of Venezuela.
Apparently, Trump is backing off interest in having her run the country.
And now he's cooperating with the vice president.
Why Trump chose Maduro's vice president over Nobel Peace Prize winner?
Well, we'll see how this all settles.
But Delcey, Del C. Rodriguez, the current vice president, you could say the interim vice president that apparently Trump is now favoring over Maria Karina Machado, who's still out of the picture, by the way.
Well, she's now made a request to come visit the White House.
Del C Rodriguez is trying to get a meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office.
That's a pretty interesting development right there.
And then here was another one last night on Hannity.
We are going to start now hitting land with regard to the cartels.
The cartels are running Mexico.
It's very, very sad to watch and see what's happened to that country, but the cartels are running and they're killing 250,000, 300,000 people in our country every single year.
The drugs.
We are going to start now hitting land with regard to the cartels.
So, you know, look, that's where all the drugs are coming from.
That's true.
But so now we're back in the war on drugs.
It was like, oh, it's drugs in Venezuela.
Okay, that was a lie.
And it's actually oil.
So what is really going on?
What is really going on?
Now, do you think Trump will say anything about this?
Knesset member decries new enemy, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
So the Israelis have now put Carlson and Owens on their list.
If I were Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens, I wouldn't be buying any Pagers.
I wouldn't be buying any beepers.
But, you know, this is despicable.
In an address to the Knesset, Likud lawmaker Dan Elouz decried what he said was the new enemy raising in American politics, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.
Mr. President, people already doubt your loyalty to the country because of the foreign policy and because of who you've been meeting with and who you've brought in to influence this administration.
That is just a fact.
That is just a fact.
Many Americans now question President Trump's loyalty to America and they think he's more loyalty to Israel.
That is just a fact.
Whether you agree with it or not, many Americans feel that way.
That is a fact.
This is a big moment to me.
If the president of the United States will not come out and condemn a foreign lawmaker that calls Americans an enemy, it's just more evidence that he's not working for us anymore.
It's just more evidence that he's not one of us anymore.
This is despicable.
And I don't even care.
Now, Tucker Carlson was at the White House today.
I don't think Candace Owens is getting any invitations anytime soon, but I don't care.
I don't care what they say about Trump.
I don't care what they say about this administration.
Those are Americans.
Trump is supposed to represent us and our people.
And Israel is declaring Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens to be an enemy.
President Trump needs to stand up and say, you know what?
It's really simple.
Well, I don't maybe agree with some of the things Candace is saying.
And Tucker's been a little tough.
He's been a little tough, but we can't stand for this.
That's not an ally.
An ally doesn't say that about our people.
We can't stand for that.
So I do stand with the American people, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and anybody else, anybody else, if a foreign country of any kind, ally or not, ally or adversary, a foreign country of any kind says that an American is an enemy, an American journalist is an enemy.
We know Israel likes to kill journalists.
So when we see a foreign country calling our people enemies, we can't stand for that.
No, no, we can't stand for that.
We stand with Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, and we rebuke, we rebuke Israel calling them an enemy.
And I'll tell you what, if BB doesn't want to correct this, if BB doesn't want to handle this, maybe we'll just review some of that foreign aid.
Maybe we'll review some of that military aid, and maybe they'll rethink it.
No, we can't have it.
We can't have that.
We can't have Israeli government calling American people enemies.
We won't stand for that.
So we're going to be reviewing this.
We're going to be paying attention.
We want this member to be addressed, scolded, maybe removed, quite frankly, because we're not going to stand for that.
No, no, we're going to stand for the American people and their right to free speech.
They're not the enemy here.
They're our people.
So this is a disgusting, horrendous statement from a member of the Likud party, and we fully reject it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
But I don't know.
He might have to get Netanyahu's approval before he could say something like that.
You know.
Oh, and guess what?
It turns out the bot networks are coming from Israel.
Who knew?
Of course.
Times of Israel reporting Netanyahu and allies using armies of bots to influence social media discourse.
Accounts run from foreign countries said to like and share posts by prime minister and other politicians within seconds, even though videos they're sharing take minutes to actually watch.
Now, anybody who follows this in real time has already seen that this is going on.
But there you go.
Times of Israel with the report.
Now, you may have seen Matt Gates on Tucker Carlson, and they kind of, you know, said it out.
Well, Tucker said it out loud and Gates kind of giggled and was like, yeah.
But I had a realization about this in the aftermath.
And this post showed up on my ex-feed.
Matt Gates tells Tucker Carlson that Israel was behind the blackmail op that accused him of trafficking underage girls.
Now, I don't want to get into the whole Greenberg situation with Matt Gates and all of that.
Okay, if you've done the research, you know about that.
If not, go dig into it for yourself.
But it hit me, for whatever reason, it hit me when I read this last night.
And again, the Matt Gates-Carlson podcast was last month, but this popped up on my feed last night.
And so I'm thinking, okay, let's re-examine this for a second.
Matt Gates was originally tapped to be the attorney general.
Now, you know, as far as this blackmail situation with Greenberg, think about it like this.
Obviously, all of this stuff was already known.
This stuff was known when he was in the House of Representatives.
This stuff was known when he did the ouster of Kevin McCarthy.
And this stuff was known when he was selected to be the attorney general.
So I'm rethinking this and I'm like, okay, this is how it works.
You cannot get selected to these positions unless Israel has blackmail on you.
So there it is.
So Matt Gates falls under the category.
These people have blackmail on him, so he can be the attorney general.
See how it works?
Okay.
So this is how our whole Congress works.
This is how the whole administration works.
This is how all of DC works.
So I'm sitting here.
I'm like, okay, so they've got the blackmail on Gates.
He gets tapped to be the attorney general.
So what happened?
What happened in that time period where he has to withdraw from the race?
And I thought about this in my head, and I think this is now the example.
Let's say that you're running for office and somebody comes to you with blackmail.
They say, okay, here's the deal.
We got this blackmail on you.
All right.
You go run for office, become attorney general, whatever.
You know, you do your thing, but we've got this on you.
And so just know when we call to make a request, just know that this is an anvil over your head.
And so, you know, just consider that.
It's all right.
Gates passes all the tests, comes to the house, gets selected for attorney general.
Something happens, he has to withdraw.
So I mean, my only assumption here is they made some requests of Gates as the attorney general, and he said no.
He said no.
And they said, well, if you refuse us, then we're going to release the blackmail story and we're going to put it in the press.
And Gates said, go for it.
Are you picking up what I'm putting down here?
Now, make your own judgments of the situation and the situation with Gates and Greenberg and the whole thing.
Make your own judgments on that.
Gates stood up to him.
Gates told the blackmailers, fuck you.
They said, if you want, hey, you can be attorney general.
We got the blackmail on you.
He said, I don't care.
I don't care.
They said, really?
You don't care?
Said, yeah, I don't care.
So we're going to release the blackmail.
He said, go ahead.
I'm done.
Go ahead, release the blackmail.
And they did it.
Now, I wonder if this might happen again.
But that's how I see this.
That's how I see how this went down now.
Gates said, F you, go ahead and release the blackmail.
I don't care.
And so they did.
And then he couldn't be attorney general.
Again, judge whatever you want off of that whole thing.
Okay.
But I'll just say this: that was a brave act and a patriotic act by Matt Gates to tell them to F off, knowing that this would come out.
And how many other politicians or how many other members of this administration or other administrations folded like a cheap tent and let the blackmail make them their bitch?
So, again, judge however you want about Gates and that.
He stood up to the blackmailers and he said, F you, go ahead and release them.
I don't care.
I'm an American patriot.
And if I'm and if I messed up, then the American people can judge me by my mistakes, but I'm not going to be a controlled operation.
I am not going to be a controlled opposition.
I am not going to be a blackmailed politician or a part of this administration.
But this is apparently a first-hand account from a security guard that this guy is sharing.
So take it with a grain of salt.
But I mean, if it's true, I think it might tell us why Trump is so emboldened right now that he's letting the military basically unleash this technology he's been talking about that nobody's ever seen before.
Anyway, listen to this.
unidentified
A security guard that was protecting Maduro has spoken, and you got to hear what he's said.
It's in Spanish, but I'll translate.
Also, Trump announced that, you know, the cartels, they're going after him in Mexico.
The whole vibe of Latin America has changed because of what happened in Venezuela.
And now that we're getting first-hand accounts from people, they were there.
The soldier says they didn't hear him coming.
He says the Americans had technology superior to anything they've ever seen.
Everything that they were using for radar, for anything, was completely taken offline.
They had drones, and the drones were taking out bases and taking out things faster.
They didn't have no technology.
They've never had to fight against drones.
He also talks about that there was only eight helicopters.
There was only 20 men that were sent in.
And those 20 men killed hundreds of their men.
And none of those soldiers were injured.
He talks about it felt like they were firing 300 rounds a minute.
Nothing they've ever seen, nothing that they can compete with.
And then he also talks to the fact that the Americans had some kind of sonic shock boom that was sent out.
And everybody immediately started bleeding profusely out of their nose.
They couldn't even gather themselves because whatever was sent at them made them fall to their knees and vomit blood out of their mouth and out of their noses.
They were incapacitated immediately.
He says he never wants to fear, never wants to go through that again.
Doesn't want to have to fight with the Americans again.
He's sending warnings to everybody out there that you think you can fight the Americans.
You don't even know what their weaponry is like and what they're capable of.
20 men took out hundreds.
And that's starting to spread all through Latin America.
And now they're not saying, if you want me, come and get me anymore.
They're like, oh, shit.
Especially after Trump says, hey, Mexico, you're on the list too.
So, you know, take it with a grain of salt, but I think there's enough circumstantial evidence to say that there's at least an element of truth to that.
Now, obviously, the U.S. military is going to be one of the most advanced in the planet, maybe the most advanced, certainly compared to Venezuela.
I would say that America, China, Russia, Israel, these are the most advanced.
These are the most advanced militaries in the world as far as tech and capabilities are concerned.
I don't think they're in a class of their own.
And then everybody else is probably far behind, quite frankly.
Everybody else is essentially in the Stone Age in comparison.
So, again, take it with a grain of salt, but I think, you know, I think there's definitely some elements of truth to that.
And some of it maybe gets exaggerated in the aftermath.
But I do think there's an element of truth.
And I do think you can kind of see now the rest of the leaders are kind of like, well, okay, hold on a second.
So that's pretty crazy stuff.
Now, it might sound like, okay, how can this tech exist?
It just so happens, Aiden Ross, you're probably familiar with that name by now, but Aiden Ross, popular streamer.
He's got, I guess he's got like his own, you know, his own compound or something.
And he had a bunch of security protocols at his home.
And he had some guy that came over with some tech that he bought off the black market.
And he was basically able to hack all of Aiden Ross's systems.
And, you know, they do this on a live stream.
And Aiden is like sitting there, like jaw-dropped, eyes wide.
He's like, I have like the best security.
I've got the best security for my house, my garage.
And this guy comes in here with a piece of technology.
He got off the black market and basically just got through all of it.
It's like, folks, if you can get that on the black market, can you imagine what our military has?
I can't even imagine.
I mean, you can imagine, but it's just like, yeah.
So I think they did it.
I think they did it.
And, you know, maybe one of these army engineers decides he's going to take some of that tech to the black market, make a little money on the side.
Be careful.
Be careful.
Did you guys hear about this?
Wildfires in Patagonia, 3,000 tourists evacuated as flames consume Shibbut Forest.
The local government believes the fires were caused intentionally.
All right.
Now, just keep an eye on this, folks.
Caused intentionally.
And, well, there's some conclusions that have been reached.
I'm going to wait.
There's some conclusions that have been reached here.
And it looks like the conclusions people are reaching is that it ties back to our top allies in the Middle East.
Now, I'm not saying that this was a plan or something that they did.
It just looks like it's just this behavior of we just do whatever the hell we want, whenever the hell we want, and there's nothing you can do about it.
So I'm not saying it was a military action or anything like this.
It's just like the IDF soldier just firing guns off on New Year's Eve for fun.
You know, maybe they just decide they're going to blow some stuff up for fun in the woods, throw some grenades around for fun in the woods, and they end up burning the whole thing down.
It's like, oh, well, whatever.
We do what we want.
So that's not official yet, but we'll keep an eye on that.
We'll keep an eye on that.
Berlin blackout draws global media attention, raising questions over security of Germany's infrastructure.
Around 45,000 households, more than 2,000 businesses were affected, with up to 100,000 residents impacted at the peak of the outage.
And they're saying this was a leftist climate terrorist attack.
Berlin drew widespread international media attention after a suspected sabotage attack left parts of the city without electricity for days.
Media reports said a fire damaged high-voltage power cables near the Lichterfeld gas-powered plant in southwest Berlin, cutting electricity, heating, and hot water to large parts of the city during a sub-zero winter.
The Guardian said the blackout stirred public anger and disbelief, with residents questioning how a single act of arson could plunge the German capital into darkness for days.
So there's still more questions than answers, but the Business Daily said the incident was being widely interpreted as a wake-up call for policymakers, particularly as the German capital plays a central role in European politics, diplomacy, and security.
The far-left group calling itself Volcano Group claimed responsibility for the attack in online statements, saying it targeted the fossil fuel industry rather than trying to disrupt civilian life, which, of course, they did.
So that's another one to keep your eye on.
Was that more left-wing terrorism there in Europe?
Oh, boy, let's start trying to pile drive here.
Brett Stevens tells Dan Sr. he switched from never Trump to applauding Trump because now he's pro-Israel.
I was a charter member of the Never Trump group kind of coming out of 2015, 2016.
And I think it deserved my clarity as a columnist to the extent that hatred of Trump became reflexive and doubting his motives became reflexive to the point that it ran the risk of blinding me now and again to things he did which were right and important.
And I have strived, including in his first term, but especially now to give him credit where it's due.
You know, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, getting out of the nuclear arms deal with Iran, killing Qasem Soleimani, and most importantly, the Operation Midnight Hammer are things that ought to be applauded.
And what I think is, of course, the Abraham Accords.
I mean, the list is not insignificant by any stretch.
They've proven you can clean up the streets when you want and you can essentially rebuild your civilization in the process.
So they arrested all the gang members.
Now they have them working, making clothes, cleaning up the beaches, cleaning up trash, helping the cities.
I mean, El Salvador is becoming the shining example on the hill that you can clean up your cities.
You can clean up the criminal element and you can return to a great civilization.
El Salvador is really proving that right now.
And who knows, maybe in the process with these criminals, you can reform them in the process.
And the more work they do, the shorter their sentence is.
All right, we got some strange developments here.
I don't want to spend too much time on this as we're closing in on the end of the show because I do want to read super chats and take calls.
But I told you, whenever there's any drama in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk, as far as actual news is concerned, developments, I'll bring that to you.
A couple weird things happening here, folks.
Now, we covered it yesterday.
Apparently, Erica Kirk is in a custody battle with Charlie's parents.
And, you know, look, let's just be fair here.
It's quite shocking.
It's quite disturbing even.
And you might think, well, how can Erica be doing all of this?
She wants to be the CEO.
She's doing the media tours.
She's doing all the events.
She's basically, you know, she's Charlie now for Turning Point USA.
And people are saying, how can she abandon her kids and all of this stuff?
And look, it's a fair question.
It's fair criticism.
I just want you to, you know, kind of hear both sides of it.
I'm not giving you an opinion on that.
I'm just saying I've seen this in media before.
I've seen people who have basically just abandoned their family life.
Or, and I don't know, this might be more accurate for this situation.
I've seen people that go through really extreme family issues, drama, whatever, all the time, and then they are able to continue to do their work in the media and do it just fine.
So I'm just putting all of that out there for your consumption.
But okay, we covered that yesterday.
Now people are going back in time and they're finding these videos.
Erica Kirk was featured in a documentary about EMP attacks alongside the CIA in this video.
What is going on?
What is going on?
Now, it could be nothing that she's just an actress and they hired her to be in this video, but she's in a documentary about EMPs with the CIA.
They had no security plan in place for the event after Charlie's assassination.
So you can obviously, if you're investigating this, I think the questions are pretty obvious, right?
I think the assumptions here are pointing in one direction.
So again, I'm just like, I know we're being lied to.
To me, it's a professional hit.
Wherever you want to go from there, I'm not conducting this investigation like Candace is.
I don't know what exactly is she trying to prove if it was this entity or that entity or whatever.
But if I'm doing that investigation and I find out there was no planned security for the very next event, yeah, I'd say if I'm doing that investigation, I'd say that's pretty interesting.
I'd say.
I would definitely say so.
Elon Musk's XAI to build $20 billion data center in Mississippi.
Now, Elon has said this is going to be the biggest supercomputer in the world.
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, XAI, is set to spend $20 billion to build a data center in South Haven, Mississippi.
Governor Tate Reeves announced Thursday calling it the largest private investment in the state's history.
The data center called Macro Harder.
You dog, Elon, you perv Macro Harder.
All right, that's fun.
It's being built in Mississippi's DeSoto County near Memphis, Tennessee.
It will be the company's third data center in the greater Memphis area.
XAI CFO Anthony Armstrong said the cluster of data centers will house the world's largest supercomputer with two gigawatts of computing power.
Now, they're estimating that AI and these data processors and data centers are going to take up 20% of the U.S. energy consumption.
So, you know, this is where, honestly, this is where American capitalism and enterprise, invention, expansion, however you want to call it.
This is where it needs to be met with good stewardship.
I don't want to stop progress as far as technology is concerned, but you know, I'm sitting here and I'm like, okay, we're talking about 20% of the U.S.'s energy consumption being for AI.
And right now, the number one trend with Grok specifically, with XAI specifically, is using it to undress people.
And I'm just like, you know, to me, it's like somebody that goes out and throws a cigarette butt in the grass on the street.
It's just like, you're just, that's just such a bad person.
And I know people that do it.
We all probably have friends that do it.
I give them trouble for it.
It's like, all right.
Oh, there you go.
Oh, you threw your cigarette outside again, huh?
Okay.
Oh, you just used a gallon of water to undress, to use a picture to undress somebody using Grok AI.
It's like, it's like the same thing.
It's just like digital trash.
It's like, oh, whatever.
I threw a cigarette out.
Who cares?
It's just a little cigarette.
Everybody does it.
It's like, oh, yeah, you know, I told Grok to undress this girl.
And, you know, oh, yeah.
You're just, you're just, it's just very lowbrow.
And I'm sitting here.
I'm like, hey, you know what?
AI, whatever.
I'm not going to stop it.
I'm not going to stop you from smoking a cigarette.
Like, you know, I'm not going to stop big tobacco.
I'm not going to stop AI.
It's like, but really, it's like, we're going to be sitting here and we're just going to use AI to undress people.
What are you doing, man?
Do we, is that what we want?
Do we want it?
Do we want 20% of our resources to just have AI make images of people naked?
They've applied for a snap waiver to get rid of sodas on Snap, which I know Brooke Rollins is about to sign and they've led the nation in banning fluoride.
Fluoride should not be in our water.
Fluoride had a strong justification in the 1940s when it was added and people didn't understand the science and they thought its benefit to our teeth was systemic.
By drinking it, it would enter your body and somehow protect your teeth.
Now we know that there is no systemic advantage, zero systemic advantage, and that the only advantage comes from topical application.
So it's the water that passes through your mouth.
You can achieve that benefit from brushing your teeth.
And in the era of fluoridated toothpastes and mouthwashes, it makes no sense to have fluoride in our water.
The evidence against fluoride is overwhelming.
In animals, in animal models, and in human models, we know that it causes IQ loss, profound IQ loss, and it's dose-related.
So the more fluoride you get, the higher levels in your drinking water, your urine, the more likely it is you will lose IQ and also other neurological injuries like ADH.
No human being should suffer from exposure to mercury.
You came together to protect future generations from this potent neurotoxin.
And I'm looking forward to continued progress.
Article 4 of the Convention calls on parties to cut mercury use by phasing out listed mercury-added products.
But in 2010, as the treaty took shape, negotiators made a major exception.
Thimerosol-containing vaccines were carved out of the regulation.
The same treaty that began to phase out mercury and lamps and cosmetics chose to leave it in products injected into babies, pregnant women, and the most vulnerable among us.
We have to ask why.
Why do we hold a double standard for mercury?
Why do we call it dangerous in batteries, you know, over-the-counter medications and makeup, but acceptable in vaccines and dental fillings?
Thimerosol is a mercury-based preservative that has never undergone proper safety testing in humans.
Hundreds of peer-reviewed studies identify it as a potent neurotoxin, a mutagen, a carcinogen, and an endocrine disruptor.
Thimerosol's own label requires it to be treated as hazardous material and warns against ingestion.
There is not a single study that proves it's safe.
That's why in July of this year, the United States closed the final chapter on the use of thimerosol as a vaccine preservative.
And, you know, people should probably go to jail for life for poisoning the water and poisoning the vaccines, but I'm not going to get my hopes up on that.
At least we're finally getting it out of our food water supply, vaccines, medicines, everything else.
So great work there.
Pope Leo.
Some mixture of views on Pope Leo.
Some people like him.
Some people don't.
I still have an approval rating.
Let's say 53% for Pope Leo.
It's like, yeah, he's definitely got some kind of liberal bents.
You know, I don't know, bleeding heart type of stuff.
Maybe he has to do that.
But, you know, he's an American Pope and he's said and done some things that I like.
So I'd say 53% approval rating for me.
And you know it's hard.
You know it's hard.
It's like if you're above 50% for me, you're doing good.
But here he is talking about the attack on free speech in the West.
This could boost him to 54.
Listen.
unidentified
It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking.
At the same time, a new Orwellian-style language is developing, which in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive ends up excluding those who do not conform to the ideologies that are fueling it.
It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space.
When they say they don't have a physical menu, I get up and leave.
I did this a few weeks ago.
I'm like, do you have menus here?
The girl goes, oh, well, you can use your phone to scan the QR code.
I go, there's no physical menu.
She goes, no, sorry.
Then I just go, okay, thank you.
I'll go find somewhere that has menus like every restaurant that's ever existed since the beginning of time.
Goodbye.
See, I just don't get how people see the phone as more convenient than a menu on the table where you can immediately look at it the moment it's placed in front of you.
Why would I take a photo of a QR code, wait for the thing to load, and then click around on my phone trying to navigate a website?
This is going backwards.
We've already solved how to see food a restaurant has.
I guarantee you it takes more energy to pull that thing up on the menu, you know, 300 times a day than to have 100 menus just sitting there that everybody can use.
That's what happens.
These liberal progressive bureaucrat types, they just always have to do something.
It's like, you can't just leave something alone.
It's obnoxious.
We all know it.
We all know it.
Okay.
NFL playoffs start this weekend.
It's all right.
You can make fun of me for liking NFL football.
That's fine.
I accept.
I take the hate for liking NFL football.
What can I say?
Yeah, as the NFL playoffs start this weekend, you may recall a legendary game from 14 years ago.
Tim Tebow, a great American, led the Broncos against the Steelers.
And I do believe the Broncos were underdogs at home in this game.
I've never heard this story before.
So Tim Tebow wanted to wear 316 on his face in reference to John 316, the gospel.
And the NFL said no.
The NFL said he could not wear 316 on his face.
All right.
So he goes out and plays in the first round of the playoffs, and he passes for 316 yards with 31.6 yards per completion.
I mean, folks, that is magic.
That is God magic.
And what's even crazier about it, if you remember the game, you're seeing the replay on the screen, the only reason those numbers finished with 316 is because that 80-yard pass play, first play of overtime, he throws an 80-yard pass to, I believe that was, was it Thomas?
I think it was Thomas who caught this.
Thomas or Edwards, but I think it was Thomas who caught it.
He throws the game-winning pass, first play of overtime, 80 yards, and finishes with the stat line of 316 yards with 31.6 yards per completion when they tried to stop him from wearing 316 on his face.
I mean, that is God magic right there.
So a little football story for you as we head into wild card weekend.
And you know what's funny too, to the NFL's credit?
They are like the only league that hasn't completely butchered the playoffs.
They are like the only league that did it.
And you could maybe throw the NHL in there when they reshaped the playoffs so that everything is divisional in the first two rounds.
So you're basically playing the same teams every year in the playoffs.
So some people like it, some people don't.
Maybe that's a neutral one.
But it does get a little redundant when you're playing the same teams every year in the playoffs.
But the MLB, they screwed up their playoff deal royally.
The MLB playoffs are just a joke.
Their system is just pathetic.
Obviously, the NCAA football playoffs, just what a disaster.
Even the NBA with the opening rounds, some of these games, they used to be five-game series because the one seed beats the eight seed 4-0 every time.
It's just a waste.
Anyway, the NFL might be the only league that got it right.
And now, of course, you have to get like 10 different subscriptions to watch all the games and everything.
So I guess they did screw up the TV side of it.
But they did, I think the wild card weekend followed up by the divisional weekend.
I think that was a good move.
I think the NFL did a good thing for their fans with that move.
I think it's the only league that didn't totally screw up their playoff system.
I think it's the only one.
We'll see if the NCAA and the MLB can figure it out.
The ex-post wasn't real and you didn't get the Bongino haircut.
Well, the X post hasn't been real yet.
I did, I did fake that I shaved my head last night.
I did deceive you.
Look, the long hair is like it's a ton more maintenance, right?
Okay.
You know, a ton more maintenance.
And then I got to figure out, you know, some days you'll see I come on air and my hair is not good.
It's just, I just didn't take the time to fix it, whatever.
I put water on it, slick it back, whatever.
It's not a good look.
Probably looks ugly.
But when I do proper maintenance and take care of it, it looks good.
But I'm like, you know, people are talking about the hair.
So how do I cut it?
If people are talking about it, I can't cut it.
It's like, it's like part of the thing now.
It's like a little joke.
And I'm at, I'm with my hairstylist last night.
And I'm dead serious.
I shouldn't even, it's so ridiculous, but I'm at the hairstylist last night and I'm like surrounded by women talking about my hair.
Okay.
So I mean, how do you cut it after that?
That's just, you know, we're not cutting it off.
The hair stays.
Siobhan Bowser, happy Friday.
We need some sunshine.
I hope you get some.
I hope you get some.
It's gloomy here in Austin today, but it's been nice.
It's been nice this week.
Owen, you look great today.
Have a nice weekend.
Thank you.
Meowie Smith.
You look great too, Meowie.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
Hope we all have a great weekend.
God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Robert, you know that's my favorite prayer.
You know that's my favorite prayer.
Thank you for that.
Appreciate that.
Pittsburgh bad.
Don't you want to see Venezuela become trans so you can call it Venezuela?
Oh, did you come up with that?
Did you come up with that?
Hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
That motivates me to do something here.
Hold on.
Hold on a second.
Hold on.
Let me see if I can pull this up quickly.
This is going to be hilarious since we're making jokes.
I got to find this.
I got to find this, guys.
Maybe we might have to wait till next week because I don't want to spend too much time searching for this.
I'm going to make one more effort.
I'm going to make one more effort to try to find this because this is hilarious.
If I can find it.
Let's see.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Listen to this plastic surgeons.
So, so this is, you've come up with a good joke here.
Okay.
Pittsburgh, bad.
You've come up with a good joke.
So I want to follow it up with another joke.
Plastic surgeon across the United States are now using purified fat from dead bodies for cosmetic procedures, including BBLs.
So quite literally, dead ass.
How about that?
Literally dead ass.
So this saying dead ass has become viral lately.
It's like a popular phrase now, dead ass.
I'm a little old.
It's more of like a Zoomer thing, I guess.
I don't know.
We kind of, the millennials kind of got like the front end of it.
But dead ass.
And so now they're injecting dead ass.
Plastic surgeons are ingesting dead ass into people's asses and lips and faces.
It's literally dead ass.
Oh, man.
That's hilarious.
But hey, let's give credit here where credit is due.
I found this from Ed Dudsey.
And he's the one that said that.
So just want to give credit where credit is due.
Dead ass, literal dead ass.
We're going to inject you with some dead ass.
Yeah, well, now Venezuela that rejects the trans ideology and everything else, you know, we're going to change that.
We're going to trans Venezuela.
No, probably not.
Tay Tate from Florida, 666.
Love your appearance on Stew Peters yesterday.
Thank you.
We recorded that yesterday in the morning.
He aired it at night.
Owen Shroyer plus Candace Owens equals the Owens report.
Yeah, well, you know, we got some powerful Owens in the truth movement, you know.
We got myself, we got Candace Owens, we got Owen Benjamin.
It's pretty strong.
It's pretty trifecta.
Israelis and ally bots, allies equals Indian.
Well, we all knew that that was going on.
Like Netanyahu says this stuff, and then if you report it as an American, you get attacked for it.
It's like, no, they say they're doing this.
Angel Silva, Omar Garcia Harfuch.
In 2025, Mexico arrested 40,000 people, dismantled 1,800 labs and seized 318 tons of drugs.
That's like impossible.
That's like an impossible number.
Mexico is doing its job.
What about the U.S.?
Trump got upset and hence what he did yesterday.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know about the comments about Trump striking Mexico.
You can't really, I think you have to just take it all with a grain of salt and then just see what happens because he just says stuff.
Sometimes it's directionless.
Sometimes its purpose is to distract.
Mexico is the United States top trading partner under the USMCA.
That wasn't a good trade deal.
With annual trade volume exceeding 800 billion, an invasion would destroy that.
I don't think he's going to do it.
I don't think he's going to do it.
Mexico deserves respect.
It's not a pinata.
I don't think anything is going to happen with Mexico.
I'll be honest.
I think it's just Trump talking.
For some reason, he wanted to say that, but I don't think it's going to happen.
We'll see.
Owen, have you heard of Israel's new laser technology apparently for defense?
But I can't help but think about Michu Kaku leaking to MSN, how weather can perhaps be controlled via laser technology.
Well, I don't know if it's fair to correlate these two things.
I mean, maybe the tech is similar enough, but you're talking about the iron beam that Israel has introduced, the iron beam for defense, which is all U.S. technology anyway.
But they did just announce that.
I have a Latina girlfriend, like a normal person.
I don't know what that is in reference to, but there you go, Taytay.
Congratulations, maybe?
I don't know.
Good luck.
Stay safe.
Bend over.
Thank you for making me read that, Bendover.
One side effect of this AI boom is the 3X price hikes for consumers for PC hardware.
This encourages cloud computing for end users, which will end consumer-owned hardware.
You will end nothing.
You know, I'm not sure how to interpret that.
I am sick of this whole cloud stuff.
Like, I'm sick of it.
And actually, you know, because we were having some glitches in the system, so I reset and kind of cleaned out my system glitch-free today.
And it's so obnoxious because I realized like some of these glitches, it's like because I don't connect my computer to the cloud, what ends up happening is like it's like automated.
So it's like your computer is constantly trying to communicate with the cloud.
It's like it's built into the operating system.
So it's like constantly trying to communicate with the cloud.
And when you don't consent to it and you don't connect your files to the cloud, it's like this automated operating system that's constantly trying to connect to the cloud and it just drains your RAM.
Now, I don't know if that was the reason why we were having the glitches the last couple of days, but I went in there and I saw that this was happening.
It's like it's constantly trying to communicate.
It's like, oh, you need to connect.
Oh, you're having these errors.
It's like error, error, error, error, because I won't connect to the cloud.
I don't want to connect to the cloud.
Leave me alone.
We'll see about the PC hardware price.
We'll see about that.
You heard it here, first.
Great show.
Pittsburgh Bad.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
All right.
We've gone.
We've gone a little long, but I did say I would take phone calls.
So I'll at least take a couple here, even though we are, even though we're up against the break for the end of today's show, the end of the week.
We'll take a couple calls.
We got a couple of minutes.
I think we can squeeze some in.
Just have your points ready.
Just have your points ready to go is all I request.
So number is live: 747-200-5560-747-200-5560.
Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'm clearing you guys out.
The people that have us on speed dial, I'm just, I'm clearing you out because you guys don't let anybody else get in.
So I'm just, I'm clearing you guys out.
All right.
I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to be mean, but it's just like you guys, you guys hit speed dial and nobody else can ever get through.
All right.
So let's let some other people get through before you guys clog the lines on speed dial.
All right.
So if I get a little, if I, you know, just understand that's the mindset here.
I just got off work and caught the started streaming about an hour ago.
So have you guys talked about how the Venezuela kidnapping Maduro actually proves a point to China that their air defense isn't all that they thought it was?
And that might be a benefit, a dark, you know, a benefit of this.
Well, so I would say, okay, I see what you're saying.
I see what you're saying.
My guess is that China is not giving Venezuela its real defense tech.
If China's giving Venezuela any air defense tech, it's probably a generation or two old.
And it's very likely that China might even be a generation behind the U.S. as far as air offense or defense is concerned already.
So I get what you're saying now.
I don't think China's too concerned about that.
Well, they might be concerned about it and saying, okay, we just saw what the U.S. military can do, but I don't think they're evaluating it from a standpoint of, oh, my gosh, they just blew past our air defense.
I don't think that was if China, whatever China is giving to Venezuela, it's a couple generations old.
So I don't think they're too concerned about that.
And the reason I was thinking about that is in reference to their threats towards Taiwan to where our Gen 5 fighters could possibly completely evade their radar systems.
They might be evaluating it from that perspective, but I don't think they're looking at it like it was a failed system in Venezuela because I just don't think that's their most advanced tech.
So they might be concerned as far as thinking about, yeah, what about if something goes on in Taiwan, but I don't think the, I don't think they're looking at what happened in Venezuela as a failure because I doubt that they gave Venezuela their top technology.
I just doubt that that's the case.
I don't think the Chinese would trust them enough to do that.
Yeah, man, I'm just uh watching that Trump thing today, and it's just the rich get richer.
And I hear your point about maybe this could be something with Denmark, Greenland, but man, it just seems like everyone's just out to get all they can before something big happens.
And I express that, you know, that similar concern or opinion many times, many different ways.
But yeah, we'll close it with that.
That's what's going on here, folks.
The powers that be, the special interests, whatever, foreign interests, all of it.
And I think Trump, to a degree, is now way more informed on this than let's say he was eight years ago, four years ago, whatever.
But yes, folks, the whole world is about to change.
Human civilization, as we know it, is about to change.
The next five years, again, you know, choose to believe what you want.
But I mean, in the next five years, we're looking at expansion into space in ways that we've never seen.
We're looking at expansion of computing power, data processing, and of course, AI being applied to all of this.
We're looking at robotics.
We're looking at automation.
In five years, human civilization is going to be totally different.
And really, and this is the big one.
So, okay, yeah, so you've got all the power players that are trying to grab as much as they possibly can before all the different shifting sands of human civilization get cemented when we enter this new age.
So there's no doubt that that is what's going on.
Now, the question is: is America going to emerge from this as a powerhouse?
And I'm not just talking about politics or military here.
I mean, our people.
I mean, our way of life, our metropolitan centers, our main streets, first streets, whatever.
We've gone into third world status.
Our airports, our trains, everything.
We've gone into third world status.
So it's like, yeah, we still got the power politically.
And yeah, we've still got the military might.
But as far as like the experience of going downtown and, you know, it's all become third world.
It's all third world hellhole stuff now.
So it's like, can we catch up to a China?
Can we catch up to a Japan?
Can we catch up to a UAE?
Can we catch up to a Qatar?
Maybe even Russia to a certain degree.
They're probably closer to us than they are some of these Gulf nation states, but it's like that's what it is.
Is America going to be allowed to leave the third world status and advance our civilization so that we have the sprawling metropolitan areas, the downtowns, the main streets, the first streets, the suburban areas, everything?
Are we going to be allowed to leave our third world status and catch up to the Gulf nation states and everything else that is becoming way more advanced than we are?
China and everything else.
Now, again, I'm not embracing their politics or anything, but you can see their civilization, their infrastructure, they are leaping us, folks.
They are leaping us.
And we're kind of able to put a veil over it because we have the military might and the political power.
But folks, our downtown areas are, we have shanty towns.
The crime, the poverty, the homelessness, the third world status of it all.
We've been left.
They have left us.
So that's the question.
It's like, are we, Can America be pulled out of the third world degradation and back into an advanced civilization when all of this dust settles?
So, yes, the power players are grabbing as many resources as they can as the shifting sands of civilization are all moving before we get into the world of AI, automation, and robotics.
So, they're going to go for as much as they can right now, and Trump is letting them do it.
Trump is helping them do it, and he's going to get his cut.
Oh, yeah.
His family is going to be right there getting their cut.
But will America actually be allowed to pull ourselves out of the third world status and an advanced civilization like we're seeing the rest of the world do?
And they might have decided the answer to that is no, to be honest with you folks.
At least not as we see it.
Because these people, you got to understand, they think differently than us, and they have way more access and resources and everything.
So, they might just say, hey, you know what?
America is kind of a lost cause on that front.
It's mostly already settled and everything.
But, like, it's like we can go into these Gulf nation states and it's just open land.
We can develop whatever the hell we want.
It's just wide open land.
And they're not getting the third world degradation.
It's like we're advancing this stuff.
So, I think that's the big question.
Are they going to help pull the United States of America out of the third world status, allow us to advance civilizationally, or have they decided America and it's, you know, it's civilization.
It's the third world now.
We're going to India status.
We're going to Bangladesh status.
That's just how it's going to be.
It's already settled.
There it is.
So they're going to say, we can do civilization building in the Gulf states, or we can do civilization building over here, or maybe in space.
They may just say, America, we're just not doing it.
It just can't be done.
But yes, that's the big picture.
That's the big picture.
And when you understand that, I think everything else starts to make sense, quite frankly.
I think everything else starts to make a little bit more sense.
You just hope the American people get a piece of the pie, you know?
