If it made you laugh, if it made you think, if it gave you a new perspective, if it entertained you, if it wasn't a waste of your time, if it gave you some information that you otherwise wouldn't have had, don't be a hoe. Share the show. All right. So, hey. What's up, dude?

Yeah. So we have a special guest, United States Senator and a good buddy of mine, Mr. Eric Schmidt. What's happening, bro? Man, it is good to be here. It's great to have you on the show. First time, long time. Yeah. Yeah, it's long overdue.

We tried to get this together a couple times, but I mean, we're both kind of doing stuff. Yeah, I'm going to say. He's kind of like, I mean, shit. He's doing a little something. No, I'm glad it worked out, man. It's good to be here. Yeah. So I got to ask you you first and foremost um you know you were the attorney general of missouri you did a great job when you were here uh what's it like being a

senator now um it's pretty crazy it's a historic thing man it is it is. It is. No, it's wild. And the swearing in was in early January. And my parents were both alive, came up along with a lot of my family. And for most everybody in my family, it was like the first time they were ever in Washington, D.C. And I'd only been in the capital like once or twice my whole life. Yeah. So I grew up in Bridgeton, not too far from here, man, in a really blue collar part of town. And my dad worked midnights and seven days a week.

And that's not typically the people who are in the United States Senate. A lot of them are, you know, Harvard, Yale, all that kind of stuff. So it's just it's it's humbling. You know, it's a it's important spot. And I'm not sure I ever thought that's where I would be. But, um, I just try to keep in mind that people here, you know, that you're fighting for cause watch cause DC can be this sort of the stuff they talk about. There's not the same stuff you talk about when you're here, you know, so you try to bring that perspective there, but it's great, man. It's, um, it's honorable lifetime to, to fight for the things

that we believe in. You know, I've talked this stuff a lot yeah and to try to bring that fight to washington is something that that definitely motivates me it's why i did it it's why i'm doing it and um but it's been great so far so good that's cool and working on some good stuff yeah i know you are like let's talk about a couple of those things that you've been working on now you you did something pretty significant just today um regarding censorship and social media is that topic oh that's topic number one okay we're gonna move right into it let's get into it all right we'll just go right into it headline number one guys all right yeah what is it gop lawmakers introduced bill allowing federal officials to be sued for censorship right Right on our own backyard, man.

Doing the good work. So this article reads, Senator Eric Schmidt. That's you. That's me. That's him. He's right here. Holy shit.

And Representative Dan Bishop out of North Carolina, they introduced legislation that would allow citizens to hold officials accountable if they attempt to censor online speech. The latest push from conservatives to protect free speech online. The Censorship Accountability Act, introduced in both chambers of Congress, would permit lawsuits against federal executive branch officials believed to be participating in censorship for damages.

In his previous role as Missouri's Attorney General, Schmidt filed a lawsuit alleging the federal government overstepped in its efforts to control how social media companies addressed posts about COVID-19 during the pandemic, including the efficacy of vaccines and the lab leak origin theory. to a preliminary injunction announced last month that blocks almost all contact between Biden administration officials and social media companies with exceptions for matters related to criminal activity and national security. Following the ruling, Schmidt sent letters to Biden and 18 other administration officials, reminding them why they were barred

from contacting social media companies and seeking further information. The letters ask for confirmation that the officials are committed to protecting free speech. A list of steps being taken to ensure compliance with the court's orders, all communications with big tech firms over the last year that could lead to censorship, a list of any non-governmental partner entities engaged in the effort, and steps being taken to instill confidence in the federal government going forward. That's a lot there. That's a really, really, really big deal.

And it comes at this weird time. And like, you know, we talked about the Twitter files here on the show multiple times. We looked at that, but now it's coming out and we've been, we've been kind of like, you know, alluding to it, Facebook files, right? Like, where are they at? We know they got to come sometime. And now that stuff is starting to roll out. Like this headline from Breitbart reading Biden White House wanted Facebook to change the algorithm, boost New York Times content over right wing media. Jim Jordan, he's been on a big push of this kind of leading this Facebook files portion. But he's releasing all these different type of emails and communications between White House officials and social media big tech firms

like this one came from April 14th. It says, quote, Rob, if you were to change the algorithm so that people were more likely to see New York Times, Wall Street Journal, any authoritative news source over Daily Wire, Tommy Lauren, polarizing people, you wouldn't have a mechanism to check the material impact. I think they're talking about us. Yeah, that's us. That's why I highlighted that. I highlighted that.

Okay. Yeah, that's us. Yeah. All right. Congrats. But I mean, even going to the stuff about Facebook, about COVID. So this was another, I guess, release from the Facebook files. This was an email.

It says, Mark, Cheryl, quote, we are seeking your guidance on whether to take more aggressive action against certain vaccine discouraging content. The important piece here is saying, quote, we are facing continued pressure from external stakeholders, including the White House and the press to remove more COVID-19 vaccine discouraging content. And it goes on. So we got all of this going on. I guess let's start with the censorship accountability act. Where are we at with that? So I think it's important to like take a step back and realize how all this started so when i was ag last um uh last year well over a

year ago now we filed this missouri versus biden lawsuit which is and you mentioned in the headlines there was a judge issue the order basically stopping them from this activity they've had with social media giants to censor speech so we when we filed, a lot of people, of course, were like, oh, this is ridiculous. It's frivolous. It's conspiracy theory stuff. And all that stuff has been proven to be true. Like all the allegations proved to be true. And it came at the time, if you guys remember, when the government literally had started

a disinformation governance board. I mean, this is like Orwellian stuff where the government's going to decide what you can hear, what you can say, what you can see. And so for me, it struck a nerve. I knew that somebody had to do something about this, right? And so we filed the lawsuit. One of the things we were able to get into discovery

before the judge ruled, which turned out to be huge because once we did that and you saw emails and text messages from people like the surgeon general to Facebook officials and Twitter officials saying, take that down. They're also threatening legal action. So the government can't censor speech, right? That's what the first amendment is all about, but they also can't outsource that speech to big tech giants. I mean, some of the biggest companies in the history of the world. So if you think about it, if you're somebody that wants to express a point of view that isn't the, whatever, the regime's narrative, right? What chance do you really have against the big,

bad federal government and then some of the biggest companies in the history of the world, right? And so we wanted to go to bat for the first amendment people who've been censored and i think for me the first amendment is just fundamental right it's it's the idea what the here's what the founders knew the founders knew that um most people in the world and still to this day resolve differences through violence right but they devise this system where there's pressure release valve right where you have your show and somebody can also have another show and somebody can listen to what they want to listen to or say what they want to say in the town square or now the virtual town square. It's sort of like

this beating heart of the constitution, right? It kind of gives life to the Republic. And if you start to narrow the bandwidth of what people can see or what they can say, that leads to a lot of frustration. So if you want to understand a lot of the frustration that's out there, and I've run statewide in Missouri three times in six years, you get around, that's a lot of it, right? They feel like, hey, wait a minute. I don't need to be looked down upon by these people a thousand miles away for what I believe or what I want to hear or some, you know, I don't think masks are effective. By the way, they're not. But like, if you say the truth, right, nobody's punished for like saying wrong stuff but they get punished for saying the truth

and it's terrifying these people who want to control what you say so we filed the lawsuit the stuff came out twitter files happens after that and then of course you've got these hearings so um today we filed the censorship accountability act so right now we've got that lawsuit and you can stop it, but what's the real penalty, right? Like what is the hammer on the backend? So what this would be individuals can sue individual government officials in the,

you know, administrative state or their first amendment rights being violated. And all of that is meant to deter these people who, by the way, nobody's ever heard of. Most of these people, you know, you hear a Fauauci but there's all these agencies like sissa who knows what sissa is nobody knows what sissa is but these people were in charge of monitoring your speech and then they try to get around it they'd have stanford or the university of washington do it

for them and then they get on the phone or they get on email and they'd have weekly censorship meetings to shut people down like millions of of posts, hundreds of thousands of Americans, not just the famous ones you know of, right? But just regular people who have a point of view. Those people might be famous if they hadn't been censored. Right. And I just think people ought to be able to make their own decisions, right? Like take it in.

It was when I was suing school district for masks. That was the point of view. Let parents decide what they want to do. They can decide if this is helpful or not. They can judge it. But you get this kind of mindset where they want to control things. And whatever it is inside of me, maybe it's being a Missourian or whatever it is, just how I grew up, kind of a contrarian.

Man, you give everybody the information. They can make their own decisions. And by the way, people can say what they want to say, even i disagree with it that's right you know i mean like you fight speech you don't agree with with more speech not censorship and i think that's getting lost in all this yeah for sure dude we've lost you because of this because the censorship didn't just start during covid that's what people have to understand when you take free speech, okay, the open society dialogue that happens amongst human beings, and then you create social media, okay? And this happened around, you know, what, 2000s, we'll just say. And now you take what's the speech that was happening out in public,

and you put it on this online forum. And that online forum grows and grows and grows and grows where it does become the actual town square of where ideas are communicated about. And the censorship starts with their algorithms, right? There is no free traffic on the internet anymore. And it hasn't been way before COVID. Part of the reason I started my Andy Graham, which is an email list, was because I was being censored for profanity. All right? Shocking.

Yeah. Like if you would say something, a four-letter word, they would take your traffic down. And then it got really noticeable to everybody else during COVID. But the question should be asked because there's a number of points that are being brought up with this discussion. The question that I think should be asked is,

do these people even have the right to delegate where the attention goes in any way, shape, or form inside their own platform if this serves as the public square. Right. So that's a great point. So what I was just talking about was sort of government actors. Then you deal with what are the private players, what's their role, right? And so I've got another bill called the Kaluud Act that basically says, if you're engaged in this kind of censorship, you lose your section 230 protections. What is that right that means you can't get sued like facebook can't get sued right now um twitter or x can't get sued right now i love what elon musk is doing but like they're shielded because when that law went into effect in 1996

the idea was the internet was kind of emerging right that this is an open platform it's different than an organization like, like a news organization that can get sued for libel or whatever, right? And so you got to kind of pick a team here. Like if you're a social media company, you want to fall into that category, right? You start altering your algorithm or you start making editorial decisions on content, right? Like then you don't get those legal protections, right? So we all take that that away so i think it's a one-two punch right you deal with the government side you deal with the private side but you're right and you've been talking about this for a while covid to me um like so people talk about power corrupting power reveals right yeah so what covid

did is it put enormous power in the hands of people who should never had in the first place and it revealed what their true intentions are and by by the way, it gave a playbook. It's not just COVID. You look what's happening now with climate alarmism. The idea is declare an emergency, start telling people. And because of that, then you have these emergency executive orders. So it bypasses all this stuff that where people are supposed to have a say. And then all of a sudden, you're not allowed to do X, Y, and z right and that's the problem that's why i think this fight's so important it's not just covet and you know i was in the middle all that stuff we sued on the vaccine mandate missouri did we won at the supreme court right we sued on the head start

trying to force vaccinations and masks on kids we took that to the supreme court we took that to court and won we've got this missouri versus biden versus Biden. So you look at the tail of the tape there, man, pushing back against all this stuff, because I just really believe there's nothing new under the sun. This stuff has been done by every tyrant since the beginning of time to aggregate power and exercise it on people who don't have that power. And we have to push back against that in this country because there's nowhere else to go. America is this last best hope. So we got to hold on to this and the first amendment's like right in the middle of the fight yeah dude people don't like you guys who listen you don't realize like if it wasn't for the suits that eric put through things would have been a lot

different right now for all of us well and dude like i applaud you too because he could have very well did what many other ags at the time did in other States, even red States where they just kind of, yeah, it's easy. Look, it's easy just to go to like these ribbon cuttings and do whatever. You can do a lot of that. That is not why I decided to do this. Like, I think you got to want to do something and you got to want to try to protect something. So for me, like as much power is because people want to be in these positions and, and continue to aggregate it.

Me, it's just like, man, get it back to the people so people can live their lives and pursue their dreams, whatever that is, whatever that is. And I'm not going to tell them what to do,

but they get to do it. You touched on something that I think is important to note, which was the national emergency. And DJ, if you click back on a few of these slides that we talked about, not that one, keep going back. No, no, no.

Right here, that one. If you read the last sentence here, it says, the lawsuit has led to a preliminary injunction announced last month that blocks almost all contact between Biden administration officials and social media companies, with exceptions for matters related to criminal activity and national security. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Eric, but this is why they keep trying to claim all these emergencies. Yep. So that they can circumvent these rules. Well, think about it.

Congress is one of my first votes to say that the COVID emergency is over. That was in January of 2023, right? You're right. The reason why they hold onto this stuff is because there's different powers granted. Now look, if Pearl Harbor happens, there are certain things that need to happen when you're going to war. The problem is a lot of these people try to put this stuff into that box. They can get away with it. Yeah. And you mark my words.

I said this three years ago. The next thing will be, you want to know why they're talking about climate lockdown. Yep. Yep. You want to know why they're talking about daughter said it two days ago. She said, there's going to be climate lockdowns, whether you, this is her exact quote. There are going to be climate lockdowns, whether you people like it or not. Yeah.

Because they know better, right? Yeah. We're in California, you know, you're not going to have gas powered vehicles in five years. Meanwhile, they don't have enough power to charge the electric vehicles that are there like right now. This stuff is, it's totally insane. Yeah.

It's totally insane. And so I do think though, that like you guys have lent a voice to this. People are waking up to this. They see it. It's a playbook that's been tried before, just not at the level it's being played here in the United States. What do you think the reason for that is? Because you know what I think, man.

I think they're trying to destroy the whole entire world intentionally, especially America. Well, I think that there is this look at DEI, right? Or CRT, all this stuff. It's super divisive. It's super divisive. And it's based in this Marxist ideology, right? Where you separate, like you and I go out, we'll find all kinds of things we have in common, but that's not what this ideology is all about, right?

Like even the military now, so I'm on the armed services committee. A lot of the questions I ask some of these political appointees who want to push this divisive diversity equity inclusion stuff is you know it's essentially racial quotas it's these struggle sessions and it is divisive like think about the military these guys man are willing to put their lives on the line they wear uniforms same haircuts all that is built you know meant to build cohesion, not divide. And, uh, but you see right now from the left man, they want to infuse this into our schools. They want to infuse this into our military. Um, and it's all about sort of indoctrination because if you can create that kind of division, if you can create that kind of, uh, you know, demoralizing view, that's the only

way they can ever sort of have a foothold in this country where we kind of fundamentally in our dna believe that people should be free you know that's kind of you say they you mean the communists yeah all right good yeah no it look it didn't work like it didn't work never gonna work it didn't work with economic policy right like it failed and people saw it but if you can infuse it now into race or something like that yeah it's new that's the game plan and um and if people are being honest that's what it they'll just call it out and and you know one of the reasons i think why you and i have built such a strong relationship is i don't care man like this i care about this country yeah and

if call us whatever you want yeah and if and if i'm up you know i'm up in six years if people don't think like they can they'll vote for me or vote against me but man we got a country to save and i mean that like we got a country to save where it's the it's the last best hope man where people can pursue their dreams i don't want to be like you're like you know i want to see the blueprint look at europe yeah i mean that they're completely like energy dependent on countries that aren't friendly to them right they've they don't have the same kind of freedoms that we have in this country and a lot of people on the left are totally fine with that right because the government then is the is replaces all the things the things you believe in that god-sized hole right that people talk about gets filled with something yeah and a lot of people

on the left they want it to be government and people don't understand too because like you have to have something to lose to be fearful of losing it. And a lot of these people on the left, on the far progressive left, if we really break down that demographic. Now, I'm not saying that we can't have reasonable discourse with a Democrat. That's not what I'm saying. But the reality is, is that Democrats, most of the Democrats are not aware of how far left their party has moved. And most of them are actually more conservative by today's standards anyway, if we're being real, like most of those people agree with every single thing that I say outside of, uh, or every single

thing that like you would stand for outside of maybe, uh, the pro-life stance, right? That would, but I think that's also changing. I think people are waking up to how that's affected culture and society and how that's been used to legitimately, especially in the black communities, keep the black communities from reproducing and actually coming out. So it's genocide. Yeah. I mean, it's euthanasia is what has been used as. I mean, but I think a lot of people are changing.

And, you know, these people that we talk about on this far progressive left, if we really examine that demographic, those people don't have anything to lose. These are people who are not really paying into taxes. They're screaming and yelling about everything. They want what you have, but they don't want to work the way you've worked. They, they deserve, deserve, deserve and title, entitle, and scream and yell and throw temper tantrums. And because we've listened to those temper tantrums at all, now they've gained some momentum. The reality is we should look at those people just like we looked at them in generations past and be like, bro, your opinion isn't valued the same way as these other people's opinions because you're not contributing to the system.

Yeah. Well, I think that a lot of those people, and I think people are waking up to this, that on the left, man, they've been super involved in a lot of these cultural institutes, whether it's universities or these bureaucratic positions or in school administrators, whatever. They've kind of populated this. For sure. This kind of force this for sure. This kind of, you know, force that they have. And that's why I think we got to be fully engaged and sort of push back. Right. Cause there's no, there's no Calvary, right? It is us.

It's us. And you just like, look, John Kerry flying around on a private jet, telling everybody else, poor people who, what they can't have. Bro. You know what I mean? Were you in the room when they did that? No, I wasn't. Oh my God.

We laughed so hard dude when he's like we have never owned a private jet i do not own a private jet i don't have a private jet he gets pushed around like 20 times finally he's like my wife owned the private jet i don't own it my wife though bro yeah meanwhile you can't have your ac on when it's 100 degrees yeah we gotta get rid of our stoves like dude get the fuck out of here man it's nuts it's insane you know the only hope is that people are seeing this but i think what this you know getting back to the headline it's like this has opened this thing up now yeah if if if we wouldn't have filed a lawsuit and elon musk doesn't buy twitter yeah oh it'd be totally different all this stuff would still be in the dark canada right now you see what they did in canada where they shut the news off social media yeah dude canada is getting no news on

social media on social media none like that's what we would be dealing with here you know we'd be dealing with anybody who had an opinion actually here it would be cnn would get to say whatever they want msnbc gets to say whatever they want and nobody else can say which we're not far off of that real cnn would be on there like everybody's dead because i was talking to eric like a death count like during covid it's like that was they had like this just everybody is dead did you guys see the thing they did on uh the high temperatures like last week they they put the same ticker up there for high temperatures dude like because

here's why it hasn't worked for them most people understand that this is something you know that's that's that's far off and people disagree about the the extent to which humans have anything to do with controlling weather but they got to make it like an immediate concern because it's the only way that they can kind of try to con people into this scam yeah it's also giving up stuff that they shouldn't have to give up it's also a distraction too yeah you know but the climate stuff is fucking stupid um but i do want to ask you one more question on this bill so how what what's like the line of attack on this so like as as an american citizen right and i feel like i've been censored i feel like my first amendment has been violated and I'm going after these federal officials.

Is it just bait? Like, I mean, what's the damages based off of, you know, the harm that you've realized it could be economic. Okay. Um,

uh, but I think by the way, um, the other piece of this, especially since the Facebook files that came out, These, these companies have now opened themselves up pretty dramatically. So, and it could just be them violating their own terms of service and what the, came out yeah these these companies have now opened themselves up pretty dramatically so

and it could just be them violating their own terms of service and what the the the unspoken thing in all this is when we were trying to prove like we had to prove that the government was not just colluding with but sort of coercing right right that this wasn't a voluntary thing but the the media companies who would go along with voluntary, but felt some sort of real pressure. And they got them to not just take down posts to change the terms of service, like of, you know, like whenever you're on one of these sites,

there's a terms of service that you agree to. That's changed 300 pages. And then also these algorithms now, right? Like pressure them to change the algorithm. So think about if you're a, if you're a conservative business owner, right.

And all of a sudden, you know, you were seen and you're no longer seeing. Dude, Eric, that happens all the time. I know, I know. And I know people who, like I could tell you five or six people have had their business ruined because of that. Yeah. And so there has to be, and part of the reason why I'm doing this is there has to be a disruptive event because these folks are too powerful. So you have to have, it can't just be one attorney general. It's an army of people who say, you're not going to allow us to, you're not going to, we're not going to allow you to censor us anymore. And that pressure, whether it's litigation or something we do in Congress is the only thing that can bust this thing up. And that's what we got to fight for. What, what, what about, I mean, what do you what's your personal opinion like

shouldn't like should these social media companies even be able to create to curate an algorithm or should it just be open traffic i mean for me i think if you're going to have an algorithm like that you have to be really upfront about it you know and that's that's the part that nobody has any idea what that is because people are talking about censorship in terms of getting posts removed or getting deplatformed but that's not really where the censoring is the censoring is in some person behind the scene saying i don't like dj's content so i'm going to turn the dial all the way down and not tell him anything of anything.

And that happens every day, and it's been happening for a decade. Well, I know somebody who's got, who had a business where they were, you know, they had T-shirts, like Second Amendment-related T-shirts. Was doing great. All of a sudden, you were on the naughty list or whatever the hell they'd come up with.

And you can't see them anymore. And by the way, the other, think about Google, too. we're not even really talking about google i mean but google's the worst if you're on page 10 not on page one you know the google relevant you're irrelevant and so when i was ag we also filed an antitrust lawsuit against google for that so for me it's man you got to bust this stuff up and uh because they're way too powerful. They control way too much of the flow of information. And it's wrong. And by the way, it's all a lie because they claim to be this open platform, right? Where it is sort of like, hey, anybody can see anything where you can come post your stuff.

That is not how it works. So you got the government piece of it, like we talked about. And then also you got this private piece that you have to attack. And it's going to be hard. Like these are, I mean, it's going to take a minute. Yeah. What's been happening to, to your point, you know, I don't think people realize because the argument always is, well, it's a private business so they can do what they want.

Right. But what, what's happened here is the federal government has outsourced the censorship. They are leaning on these entrepreneurs. Bro, listen. We'll give you your 230 protections. This is why Zuckerberg was on Rogan saying, hey, man, the FBI fucking basically told me to do this. By the way, do you know, the reason I'm convinced we had filed the lawsuit, the discovery on this stuff going back and forth was about to drop the next week.

I'm convinced he goes on Rogan to get out in front of this because he knows, look, all this other stuff now is coming out on the Facebook files. They knew all this stuff was going on. Yeah. And they know how exposed they are, know how terrible it looks. It's going to look real bad. And I also think that's what the PR thing about him, like being jujitsu and all this shit's about too yeah so he looks like he's this innocent dude who

didn't know what the fuck was going on yeah when in reality in my opinion these people got a little taste of power they thought they could rule the world they were able to for a while and now they're not well i'll tell you this so in that lawsuit i took uh fauci's deposition and it was like the last thing i got to do as AD before I got sworn in. I remember that phone call. It was incredible. That has to be pretty imposing because he's like a tiny little dude. You're a respectable

man. You know what I'm saying? We look different in a lineup. He's walking and he's like, oh shit. That place was like getting into Fort Knox. You can tell this guy has just lived a really sheltered, it's almost like a cocoon he's in there they got all these lawyers from the department of justice there and he's sitting there and um no shit he in the middle of the deposition the court reporter sneezes and he looks at her and asks her if she has an upper respiratory

infection if she has covid and tells her to put a mask on. Like, this is the guy. This isn't like in March of 2020. This is in October or November of 2022. This is the guy that was, you know, claiming to be the science. And he was that sort of like a hypochondriac about this thing. And so anyway, it was a little bit of an insight into this guy. But his daughter worked at Twitter.

So like these communications were happening all the time. They were taking down anything that might lead people. And they did it under this justification that everybody needs to get the vaccine or everybody needs to wear a mask. Meanwhile, Fauci, in March of 2020 of 2020 a friend we uncovered this email a friend emails him say hey i'm getting i know it's happening i'm getting on a plane should i wear a mask he's like no not effective don't worry about it they knew it wasn't it wasn't yeah but think about it it's sort of like what happened locally here with sam page and others or in other

states you saw think about the power you're a county executive that your main job is like naming streets and stuff like that. You can go up in the microphone every Monday and say, I got you. We're going to protect you. Still need to wear a mask. Be vigilant. This is the science. There's a lot of power in that. And I think that people, you know, I was certainly part of it.

Other people were part of it you guys were part of it and we got to push back against that and and you can and if people want to wear one man like you want to walk around forest park with 10 masks on your face in the summertime god bless you it's america i mean i think it's nuts i say shame them people are doing what they want to do but it's not i don't give it's not based anything but think of the power they had of telling you we know what's best and people bring some relevance to their miserable existence yeah so but man it was she's on the cover of like vogue and shit yeah he's giving commencement addresses this is a joke yeah come on man yeah they got fauci candles what

the hell you know fauci dude candles. Man, crazy, guys. Well, guys, that was headline number one. Let's keep this show moving. Well, first of all, bro, before we get on to other things, thanks for doing this shit. Yeah. Because, like, without you doing this, people don't realize that you're a key figure in all of this stuff,

and you don't get enough credit for it. Like, I see a lot of these guys who are getting credit for, like, you know, Senator Cruz gets a lot of credit and tv time and ran paul and like all these guys which you know i like ran paul but you know you're not getting the credit you deserve yet and people don't realize that you're the key figure in protecting what is essentially free speech in today's america which is on social media platforms yeah well part of that's because they still probably censor them. Hell, right. That's what she said, right?

Yeah. Well, thanks. Thanks. That was our first headline. Let's keep the show moving. If you guys want to join in on the conversation, hashtag censor these. Let us know in the comments, guys,

what you think. And also, if you have not yet and you're still watching this on YouTube and you have not yet subscribed, click that fucking subscribe button. Yeah.

And if you're listening on audio and you haven't subscribed just go click subscribe yeah do us a solid no hoes on here yeah all right um let's keep it moving we got headline number two headline number two reads world war three watch poland sends combat helicopters extra troops border after belarus military violates airspace. Yeah. Yeah. This is by Bar article guys reading Poland accuses

Belarus. Isn't Belarus where they sent Wagner group? That's what I thought. Yes. Yeah. Yep.

So Poland accuses Belarus of having flown two helicopters into its airspace accusing the Moscow aligned nation of escalating tensions and responding by deploying more troops and its own helicopters to the border. Two Belarusian helicopters flew into Polish airspace on Monday,

a statement by the Ministry of Defense said, revealing the aircraft entered Polish territory at a very low altitude, flying below radar, making them, quote, difficult to detect, end quote. Locals spotted the Belarus colored wearing helicopters flying low over their houses and posted the images to social media reports state. The helicopters were on a training mission, which the Belarusian government had notified Poland in advance is taking place. But nevertheless, Poland said the incursion was unacceptable and summoned the Belarus ambassador. The Polish defense minister, Maruz Blaskacz, said in response to what the government called a provocation, he had ordered extra troops and combat helicopters to the borders.

Belarus has denied that any such incursion took place. Deutsch Well reports they called the claims, quote unquote, far fetched and that Poland had invented the incident to give a pretext for building up their military deployment on the border. Now, we all know the significance of Poland. There's a lot of moving pieces going on in Russia, Ukraine. In 1909, Poland became a NATO ally. They're claiming that Wagner forces are trying to destabilize NATO, push on Poland. And that's all good and well. We got that going on.

That's interesting. I want to know if you guys have seen this shit that's happening in Africa. Let's move continents a little bit because I believe they're all tied together. Have you guys seen the stuff about the coup d'etat in Niger? This headline reads, why some people want Russia in and France out. the West since the coup in Niger, a businessman proudly shows off his outfit in the colors of the Russian flag in the traditional heartland of deposed President Mohamed Bosem. Since the coup, there has been a war of words between the military and the West. Niger hosts a French military base and is the world's seventh biggest producer of uranium. The fuel is vital for nuclear power, with a quarter of it going to Europe,

especially former colonial power France. Since General Abidou Hamidi, Tachini... Sorry. You're just making this up as you go, bro. I'm saying, listen. I don't blame you. That's pretty tough. That's my best tip. Just keep going.

A for effort. Yeah. Since that guy overthrew the president in a coup on 26 July, Russian colors have suddenly appeared on the streets. Thousands took part in a protest in the capital, Miami, on Sunday, with some waving Russian flags and even attacking the French embassy. It seems now this movement is spreading across the country. Here's a picture of that business owner.

You guys got, I mean, like they're waving the Russian flag all over. It's pretty incredible to see. Biden, we actually just evacuated our embassy in Niger. And of course that came after the Pentagon said there's no threat. So we've got all of this stuff going on. And I want to pose this question because we talk about them really have quite often. They have a, they being the elites, they have a couple of different options, right? There's world war three. Uh, there's another pandemic possibly being released, um, climate lockdowns, right? They have a few different options. And all of these disastrous headlines from the coup in Niger, they're all popping up. And to no surprise, COVID hospitalizations are on the rise again. Politico put it out.

What's the new COVID-19 surge? My question is, do you guys think these are really just temperature checks? They're trying to see what the public's going to react the most to, and then maybe that's how they make the decision? What do you guys think on this? You're meaning from an aspect of test marketing? Correct. Are people more scared?

Are they more likely to react to COVID-19? Are they more likely to react to World War III? Is that what you got i mean what we got what we got i don't know i don't know that all those are related i think you might yeah i would yeah i would i would put those in two different buckets the first one what's happening in in europe right now is incredibly dangerous because um you know so i'm somebody that i i don't you know sending 115 billion dollars to ukraine and we don't do anything about southern border here in the united states is unacceptable to me bro that's treasonous it's unacceptable and um it is a very dangerous situation that's going on um and there's a lot of people, and I'm not one included, including in the Republican

party and all the Democrats are supporting all this. And it's a blank check. We just had votes last week on the national defense authorization act to just have an audit, have an audit of how that money's being spent. I got voted down. I was one of the few people that voted to have the audit. I was also one of the few people, and it's kind of a weird mix of people, Republican, Democrat, that voted for this, that said, Rand Paul had an amendment that said, before, as a NATO country, before we would ever, there's an Article 5, like Russia invades Poland, right?

Before we would actually go to war, Congress would actually have to be the ones to go to war declare war like in the constitution there are like 12 of us that voted for that so there is this i think people are really invested in this thing and it's it's clouding the vision because the real threat and i'm telling you i'm on the armed services committee you get these classified briefings i'm not going to obviously divulge anything there but china is the real threat. Like Russia is proven itself. It's not that what's happening over there isn't real, but it's a third rate military at this point, right? Russia, Ukraine, there's gotta be a way to sort of figure this thing out. But China, man, they are built, they have built islands in the South China sea. They are fully weaponized

with anti-aircraft, anti-missile systems. They have hypersonics that can take out, potentially take out aircraft carriers. They have a bigger Navy than we have. They have hypersonics that can potentially take out aircraft carriers. They have a bigger Navy than we have. We have four naval shipyards. They have 12. Each one of them has greater capacity than all of ours combined. They're playing in space. They view themselves as the last 150, 200 years has been a blip historically. They're a thousands of year old kind of civilization. America's new. They're betting against us that we can't hold on, that the last 80 years has been an accident of history, and they are hellbent on world domination.

That's the truth. And so there has been this focus now more on China. But I think a lot of what's going on over there, that is not our biggest, America's biggest threat. It is China. And they're playing, I mean, they're playing with fire over there right now. If you get into this NATO conflict, that is world war three. And I don't want to see that. And there's a way to diffuse it. Some people don't want to engage in that. I don't think, which is wrong. What's your take on, on, you know,

cause my theory is this dude, and I'm, I'm definitely not privy to any information you know this is just me watching what's going on what i think is going on and when i see the president of the united states being shown to have taken money from foreign interests to make policy decisions about foreign interests and the probe which is you is, you know, as you know, a probe is just the beginning of what's actually going on. And we see these connections that he has to China and the things that have been going on. And then we see the decision about the border, right? With the borders wide open. We see the printing of endless amounts of money. We see the sending of all of our military equipment and assets and all of this money to Ukraine.

We see the crime in the cities going crazy. We see the propagation through the media, which China is also heavily involved in, of identity politics and division and the ability to keep America from uniting. And we look at all these things, the draining of the strategic oil reserves. I mean, we're, in my opinion, at the most vulnerable that we have been in my lifetime. And I personally believe, and this is by no way, am I saying that you believe this, but this is what I believe. I believe that this dude is acting in the interest of himself and not in the

interest of our country. And we are being served up to be conquered. I think he is compromised. I think he's compromised and the more this stuff it's sort of a drip drip drip um i mean am i out of line thinking all that stuff look and by the way when was the last time um you called your dad when you're getting ready to close a deal like get your dad on the phone my i've never called my dad like get him on speaker phone for i mean it's like it's all this it's just insane, it's just insane. But, um, but yeah, look in, in, I think

a lot of people try to make this way more complicated than it needs to be. If we are energy independent and dominant, half of these issues go by the wayside. There is no reason in the world why we should be depending on China for these supply chains. There's none. And, um, wouldn't that lend more to my my theory though because that was the literal first thing he did when he came in yeah day one i know he did that and he's done nothing about the board i think he's sort of trying to appease his base in many ways because he thinks that um you know from a political perspective it helps him to have you know an open border i guess it's like there have been you know missouri has six

million people in the whole state right 6.2 million there have been over 7 million people we know of that have come here legally just in the last two and a half years think about that and by the way we don't know who they are we don't know who they are we don't even we don't know where they're at by the way we have and we don't know where they come from we don't know what like we don't these are a lot of these are military age males from different places all over the world like and and i see this all as intentional right like i don't you have a different perspective because you're in it yeah so look man here's the truth like like there's a perspective of these guys are just idiots and they're doing shit to appease their base or there's a perspective

of everything they're doing is intentional and they're trying to like literally serve our country up to be conquered. Well, I think that if they had their way in, this is this is really scary. And this isn't like I'm making this up. Like they've said this is what they would do if they had the House of Representatives is like a, you know, it's it's a razor thin majority right now. Let's say that changes. If they had 52 votes and maybe just 51 votes in the Senate, they've said that they will end the filibuster, which means it takes 60 votes to move on something, which is hard to do. And it should be for big stuff, right? They would end the filibuster, they would add states to the

union, they would pack the Supreme Court, and would add states to the union they would pack the supreme court and you'd have open borders and amnesty you'd federalize elections too they've said they'd do that so if you think about that um like how we're teetering that's why when you said this earlier about democrats man i grew up in like i said blue collar neighborhood most of my friends parents are there's a lot i have friends who are different. Like that's not the thing. Yeah. But this isn't that. This is a radical view that has somehow infected like where the movement on the other side is. And it's really dangerous.

And they're not that far away from, again, okay, let's say you go from nine to they want to go to 13. Well, why not? Why not 26? Yeah. After that, why not 50? Yeah. Why not 100 and then you go down this like banana republic road and it's so it's really it's dangerous stuff man

and and um i we're not having the same debates that we had like 30 years ago where it's like you know um you know sort of fiscal policy or what's the best tax rate i mean they want to fundamentally change the country forever and we just can't let them do it. And that's why you got to be in this. And we talked about earlier, the Calvary is not coming in. It means I'm going to do everything I can do, but it also means like, man, run for school board or show up for something that's important. Be engaged. That's the only way we're going to change. And we can do it. We can do it. First off, use your voice. Second off, get engaged. Third off, live to a standard that represents what you believe America to be. Those three things will make all the difference in the world.

So that's where we're at. And so that's dangerous. But I think the second bucket on the COVID-19, I think they know there's been this severe backlash and people see that headline. Nobody's buying that BS right now. Nobody. But hey, what if we tell everybody it's the hottest day in the history of the world you know i mean like maybe they get away maybe they think

that's going to move people so i do think that this is and it and to take a step back this is all about man so my other passion on the free speech is sorry it's so stupid i'm laughing at the hottest day of the history of the world history and miss omar how how long have we been tracking this data exactly she's like 17 million years ago who the fuck was tracking the lady it's a fucking caveman we didn't have indoor plumbing like you're telling me we knew how hot the hottest day was lady i don't know where you come from, but you know what we call this around here? It's called summertime. It's called July. Yeah, that's right. But it's like, the other thing happening is it's this administrative state,

and we got to bust that up. When the founders, if you think about it, they wanted to spread out power, right? Because they didn't want people to infringe on, it was all to protect liberty. So you had checks and balances, separation of powers, and federal and federalism states created the federal government only agreed upon to do certain things all these protections but the way around that is if you have a bunch of people who are making big decisions that aren't accountable to anybody and that's what we got like the deputy undersecretary of the epa who the hell is that but man if they send you a cease and desist letter or a guidance letter your farming operation might be over, generationally over.

And so we got to get back to a place, man, where Congress is having to vote on this stuff because all this bullshit wouldn't actually be happening. Yeah. It wouldn't be happening because nobody would vote for that. Yeah. So that's another big fight that's longer term. But you see it like COVID, like we said, was the playbook. I think another important thing that I would like to see addressed, I think is important for our Republic is that the, the, we can't hide bills within the bill. You know what

I mean? We can't have these 4,000 page bills that get introduced at midnight, right? That have, you know, they're called the anti-infl Yeah. And everything in there is designed to create inflation. You know, like that's a big deal, man. Yep. I agree. And what people, most people probably don't know. I didn't know until I got there. Man, when they do these omnibus bills, there's that's, you know, hundreds, if not thousands

of pages, a bunch of stuff that's not related to anything. Like you got to like have 13 appropriation bills that fund different things and let people vote yes or no or offer amendments and change things. You think that's actually what happens up there. It's not. And it empowers a few people, just a few people who are in leadership. And so I think there's a movement to try to pull that back. And so that you you know, you know that your senator from Utah or Missouri has a say in this stuff. And it's not just a few people getting together to back room deciding on this stuff. So can I actually. So just just for my sense, how exactly does a bill turn into an omnibus bill? Like, what's that process like? Is it like, OK, hey, Eric, we need your vote on this main bill.

And you say, OK, cool. But I need to throw these initiatives in this bill. Is that kind of, and then you pass it around to 500 people. Right. The way it should work is like this. Let's just take the bill, the Censorship Accountability Act. Like run that bill. Now what happens is then people put a bunch of stuff on it, whatever, and it stays on.

That's one thing. But what happens is like we're supposed to pass a budget, essentially, in the next couple of months. And what if Schumer doesn't put it on the floor or something like that, right? Then what happens? They say, well, we got to fund the government. So we didn't do it the way we're supposed to do it. So now we got to put together all this stuff. And it's a yes or no thing.

Man, I voted against the debt, raising the debt ceiling because they had a bunch of stuff in there that didn't get to the real problem. And then when they say in the debt ceiling thing, like, oh, well, wait till it's time to do the budget bills. And when you get the budget bills, like, well, we got to do this because we got to fund the government. So it's this institutional way of getting people to go along with a bunch of stuff they don't really support. And I'm just, you know, I'm not going to do that. And I think there's a group of people coming in now that are, some of it's generational, right?

Like I'm 48. The average age in the Senate is 67 years old. And there's some newer folks that are coming in that have a different view. I work with anybody, but I think you just got to have accountability, right? Like make us vote on stuff. They can be hard votes, but I think you just got to have accountability, right? Like make us vote on stuff. They can be hard votes, but then that's fine. Like,

you know, when people are going to agree with it or disagree with it, but at least people know where you stand. Yeah. And, and I think that's one of the things that, that I didn't know when I got up there. That's one of the things you really got to work on.

So. Nope. Guys, that was headline number two. John, in the comments, hashtag world war three, let us know where

you stand on that that being said let's get on to our third and final headline headline number three gotta talk about it headline number three reads donald trump to appear in dc court thursday on january 6th indictment let's talk of the town everybody's on it uh so former president donald trump is set to make his first appearance in federal court in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. That's the day when we were recording the show in special counsel Jack Smith's prosecution of January 6th. Trump was indicted by a Washington, D.C. grand jury on Tuesday on four counts, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction, an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights in relation to the January 6th Capitol riots. Trump is set to appear

in the Ebert Prettyman Federal Courthouse at 4 p.m. U.S. Secret Service announced their, quote, maybe short term traffic implications arising from Trump's court appearance. A statement from Anthony Gleamy. He said, quote, While the Secret Service does not comment on specific protective means or methods, we have the utmost confidence in the dedication and commitment to security shared by all of our law enforcement and government partners. We are working closely with the Metropolitan Police Department, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Park Police, U.S. Capitol Police, and the Federal Protective Service to ensure the

highest levels of safety and security for the former president while minimizing disruptions to the normal court process. Now, Smith's latest indictment marks the former president's third indictment in six months. In March, the Manhattan District Attorney charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records. In June, Smith charged Trump with 37 counts over his handling

of White House documents. However, Smith charged Trump with new counts in the White House documents case last week. Trump's arraignment on Smith's superseding indictment is set for August 10th at Florida Federal Courthouse. Now, in the January 6th case, U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxilla Upadaway will handle Thursday's hearing, but Judge Tanya Chutkan will preside over the remainder of the case. Now, Chutkan was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in 2014 by former President Barack Obama. Chutkan donated to Obama's campaign multiple times and is well known for handing out some of the harshest sentences for January 6th defendants, as bright boy news reported.

Uh, Smith announced he will seek a quote unquote speedy trial in the January 6th case against Trump to ensure the department of justice, quote unquote, uh, evidence can be tested out in court and judged by a jury of citizens. Now I want to bring up this, uh, this screenshot.

This is an image that has been circulating throughout social media. Um, and it's basically this, this screenshot this is an image that has been circulating throughout social media um and it's basically this this timeline okay and i want to kind of just go through this and then you guys tell me what you see okay so it says june 7th fbi releases documents to congress alleging the bidens took a 1010 million bribe from Burisma. On June 8th, the very next day, Jack Smith indicts Trump in Mar-a-Lago documents case. Okay. On July 26th, Hunter Biden goes to court and rejects sweetheart plea deal

after it was revealed DOJ tried to give him blanket immunity from future prosecutions. Then the very next day on July 27, Jack Smith adds more charges for Trump in the Mar-a-Lago case. On July 31, Hunter Biden's former business partner testifies to Congress that Joe Biden was on over 20 calls with his son's business partners and that Burisma execs pressured them to fire the prosecutor. The very next day august 1st

jack smith indicts trump again for january 6th what do you guys see i mean this is no bias these are just timeline dates what are we seeing i'm sure it's just a coincidence yeah dude of course i mean this is this is definitely not planned out. They don't know that, you know, all this information is coming out. And while they know this information is starting to be formulated and coming out, they're surely not building this case against Trump to have something to hit with the media immediately after. I mean, they wouldn't do that. There's no way.

Prosecutor of misconduct? Joe Biden is a sweet old man. He just loves his son. Yeah, he just forgets his favorite ice cream sometimes. Yeah. He just, you know, shits his pants in front of the Pope. Yeah. Parmesan cheese.

Yeah. So, so, so yeah, this is clearly corrupt. Yeah. And it doesn't, and it shouldn't matter what you think of Donald Trump at all. And going back to what we were talking about just a few minutes ago, actually indicting a former president such in the way that they had is opening up. It's, it's, it's fundamentally changing the country people. And that's the point people don't realize it's setting up. You're putting this on the table now for every single regime to ever come in, whether it be right or left. And I'm going to tell you guys, the conservative people are going to get their place back in the White House.

And now you Democrats, your people, the people you voted for, because you hated this dude's tweets so bad and you hated his great economy and you hated all the other shit that was awesome when he was in power, because you don't like this guy, now they've created a precedent where the next time your people lose power, you guys could all be indicted like this is bad shit and this is not what america's about and it's not a donald

trump thing this to me this scares the fuck out of me this this in my opinion is the cop the mask of communism coming off saying there's nothing you can do to stop it. That's what I see. No, this is a, I mean, you said it. This is a really dangerous road to go down, man. This is like, this is third world banana republic stuff, right? And so all the things, what's ironic about all this is all the people who were hysterical when Trump got elected in 2016, all the things they claimed he was going to do right um like this administration by demonstration they're doing doing it all yes and like you know

they're think about this they're going to start world war three with china right censoring americans on the verge of you know potentially world war three um protecting your kids from prosecution um you know jailing political opponents mean, if you would have like 10 years ago read this stuff, you would have thought it was like some third world country. And they're perfectly willing to do this, which is dangerous. It's scary. And like you said, whether you voted for Trump or you like Trump or don't like Trump, man, this is a different deal.

It's completely unprecedented. And you see two tiers of justice here. One for Trump. And by the way, they've got one of these indictments for the documents at Mar-a-Lago. Hillary Clinton literally had her staff when it was under subpoena, take baseball

bats to cell phones and bleach hard drives. She had them make up a document that said that this man was colluding with Russia. They made it up and for seven years have rubbed it in our faces. Can you imagine Andy, if, because the Russia thing was a total hoax, right? Total hoax made up Obama.

Obama gave the green light. Hillary Clinton's team was in charge can you imagine if trump when he was president had the department of justice arrest barack obama and hillary clinton and try to put him in jail for the rest of their lives can you imagine the reaction like and so we're supposed to just sort of like accept this it's crazy the problem yes isn't the problem is there is there isn't the appropriate reaction i mean mean, like, dude, like it's like at some point in time. Look, man. And I'm just speaking frankly. All right. At some point in time, violence is going to have to come on the table as a reality to resolve the situation. Because if we had had this situation happen 20, 30, 40 years ago, these people would be arrested. The military would have arrested these people for what they're doing. And dude, in my opinion, and I know this is true because I'm on every fucking watch list there is.

I don't give a shit. He's probably seen the list. Yeah, dude, the fucking every single veteran in this country, every single like true red blooded patriot American that's watched Braveheart a few times is like, is it time? Like, I don't think they realize what, or maybe they do. Maybe that's what they're trying to incite. Maybe they're trying to incite a situation where people rise up and they crush them and

then remove the resistance that way. I think, look, we can't justify political violence. I think that we gotta we have to be the good guys on this thing man but dude that's getting us crushed no but we gotta fight back there's no doubt about it right like this this cannot to your point man there's no end to this there's no if this is the way that we go down right then we are we are not who we say we are right which is where which again we talked about earlier like this pressure release valve man people have to feel like they can vote for a

candidate they want to vote for they can say what they want to say but when you start criminalizing politics or speech you know people are going to get really frustrated with that and i just think this timeline man and by the way the other thing that people don't talk about is jack smith or yeah jack smith in 2014 when this stuff started was the head of the doj's like anti-corruption stuff so like jack smith like when when these payments are coming in and there's all these shell corporations wires coming in he knows about it he's in there man like he's in there and so we had that ridiculous january 6th committee and they got their guy to go do their bidding now, which is, this is a political prosecution, man. It's a disaster.

I don't know what else to say. It's like- But bro, my point is, I'm not trying to put you in an uncomfortable position, but real talk. We've been sitting here and we know all the conservatives and we know the politicians, the Matt Gaetz's and you and Holly and all these guys are Rand Paul. And we can name 50 other people push back on this shit, but it's still happening. Yeah.

And at what level, like, are we going to allow him? Are we going to allow these people to execute Donald Trump to make a point? That's floating around. They're saying that's what I'm saying. So one of the things that I think is like, so I'm supporting Trump. I was one of the first people to endorse him in 2024. And by the way, this thing isn't about 2020. It's about 2024.

This is about not allowing Americans to vote for their preferred presidential candidate because they hate this guy so much. I talked to my friend, one of my really smart friends that you might know him, Mike Glover. Mike Glover has been on the show a couple of different times. We were talking yesterday on the phone and he lifted up a point that I hadn't thought of yet. But he told me that there's five or six key states where if he's under indictment for these crimes, they can actually remove him off the ballot so that he cannot win the election no matter what. that's the man like it's going to come down the election will come down to like five states i don't know what what those are but it's going to come down you said arizona nevada uh it's it's the five that are all in question and we have to come we have

to make sure then um and like i said people make their own decisions but come out and vote i think trump's going to be the nominee. I'm supporting him. And one of the main reasons I'm supporting him. First of all, I didn't get us any foreign wars. That's a big one. And two, man, we had a great economy in three. I think if, if he gets back in there, he can only serve one term, right?

He has four years. He is going to totally dismantle this administrative state in a way that we have never seen. Cause we've seen the, we've seen the underbelly of this thing, man. And it is ugly and it is nasty and it is about power and control. And I think if you get him in there, man, he's going to be the ultimate disruptor and people aren't going to like it. And that mainstream media, they're going to lose their minds. But that's what we need right now. We need somebody to come in and just totally shake this thing up. So, man, I think all this stuff is also meant to be a distraction because they're trying to just like have a count of how many indictments and how many times he was impeached.

I think it strengthens him, though. Like my gut is like. Dude, listen, I see it the same way you see it. Like there's all these people in conservative land and in America land that are like, well, what about DeSantis or what about this or what about that? Look, dude, they tell you who to vote for by who they attack. All right? You just watched the New York Post attack me for telling people to drink water. Like, dude, listen, People Magazine, The Post, fucking Insight,

all these motherfuckers come at me for telling people to be fit, healthy, independent, strong, wealthy human beings. Why do they attack that? Well, they attack that because that is the way that you answer their suppression of us as citizens. You become the opposite of what they want. If they want you unhealthy, you become healthy. If they want you hateful, you become someone that doesn't hate. If they want you poor, become wealthy. If they want you hateful, you become someone that doesn't hate. If they want you poor, become wealthy. If they want you sick, become healthy. It's the opposite.

And so the reason that they attack Trump is the same reason they attack me for this littler stuff. They attack this dude because they understand that he's the fucking sledgehammer that will bring their entire operation of corruption to the fucking ground.

100%. Yeah, but at least to the question though, right? And it's the golden question. We hundred percent. Yeah. But at least, at least to the question though, right. And it's, it's, it's the golden question. We know that they know that. Right. And so,

no, we don't know that we have people on the ground all over the world right now. And in social media arguing for Ron DeSantis or whatever, bro, look, dude, Ron DeSantis is probably a cool dude. I don't know him.

He's done a pretty good job. And like Trump doesn't do himself any favors by attacking him. Like, bro, you need an advisor like me on your fucking payroll, bro. Real talk. Because he goes out and attacks DeSantis. And DeSantis did great shit during COVID. And it makes him look stupid. Like, stop doing that.

You're hurting your cause. And so we have all these people supporting these other people. And it's like, bro, like, the media is all behind the santas like they understand the media understands that people are not voting democrat in 2024 so what are they trying to do they're trying to position the santas as the candidate fox is doing it msnbc is doing it cnn is doing it now why would they want the santas and not want Trump? That should be the only question that you should have to ask, because with the amount of corruption that we have, and like you said, the underbelly that's been exposed,

and we understand the ins and outs of how corrupt this shit is, why would you even think that anyone else should be the person? And here's the thing, man. You touched on this too, is that it's easy for people, I think, to lose hope, right, in these kinds of situations. But here's the truth. We are one election away, one election away from fixing, I don't want to say all of it, but taking a sledgehammer. Because if they keep the House and, you know, one vote and West Virginia's up, Ohio's up, and Montana's up, we should win all three of those states.

So Republicans would take the majority in the Senate. And you get Donald Trump in the office, man, you're cooking with gas, and you start to fix all of these. Everything we've talked about on the show, man, everything and more. We could spend three hours doing this thing, right? You get in there, and man, you take this stuff one by one and go do it. And that's the thing. Like in our, that is the thing.

But you can't, we can't keep doing the same stuff we've always been doing. We can't just sort of go along with this stuff because think about the administrative state, man. It's gotten so much bigger the last 80 years, no matter who's been in office, right? And so I think Trump is the ultimate disruptor in this election cycle. And,

um, I mean, that's why I'm supporting them, but it's going to take people. Look, half the country sometimes doesn't vote, right? Half the country doesn't come out to the polls. Well, that's the other thing. We have all these people saying, I'm not, I'm just not going to vote this time, bro. You have to vote. Yeah. You have to vote. You have to vote for who you think is the best, whether they're exactly what you want or, or 50% of what you want. You got to vote for who you think is the best whether they're exactly what you want or or 50 percent of what you want you got to vote for what the best option you think is which like and that's the scary part too right because like have you i mean dude they're talking about like but like dude hold on hold on yeah let's talk about the vote okay there's a whole big section of america now eric

that fucking believes that the vote doesn't count i I know. And so, so like in our constitution, does it not say that we have a duty to protect the, the America from all enemies, foreign and domestic? Doesn't it say that we have a duty as citizens to overthrow the government if they, if they go the route that this is going, like at what point in time are we supposed to say okay well that's this is the time like what i'm trying to figure out is when do we fuck these people up real shit no real shit because like i've been on this show for three three and a half years talking about what we can do culturally right like we could build we could build ourselves into personally excellent humans we can get engaged like you said we can build, we could build ourselves into personally excellent humans. We can get engaged. Like you said, we can, we can, we can live to a higher standard. We can

be the opposite of what they want. We can lift our neighbors up to our left or our right. We can stop hating each other over identity politics. We can come together. We can unite. That's still not going to give us the power. That's going to give us the culture to support the power. If the power structure is intact, which the power structure seems to not be intact right now. So like I'm getting nervous. I'm like, listen, you've got here. Here's what I think people miss. But you got right is politics, man, is downstream from culture.

Yes, it is a reflection of culture. It's downstream. It happens afterwards. Right. So if we fix, and this is why I think, you know, you're very uniquely situated. What you guys are doing is got it right. Like, it's not just about like the votes or all that stuff. It's about this mentality of what do we believe in? Right. Like start there. What do you believe in and what are you willing to get engaged to fight for? And you believe that america and i believe this

man when they when when the founders started this country like nobody believed in individual rights they thought your rights came from a king or a queen and they said nope everybody's born with this stuff right and we're going to create we're going to with the right to you know pursue happiness like whatever your version of happiness is and government's only job is to protect those rights not infringe upon those rights so if if we start there, right. And then people are engaged in their community, live in a good life. They're taking care of their family. They're, you know, they're helping their neighbor, all that stuff. We win. We win. Now the way we have to be America before America is America. That's, that's what it works out to be. We got to make America great

again. We as individuals have to live that. like these things that you and i love about america which are the same things by the way yep you know we grew up 15 minutes away from each other went to the same kind of high school like these these things that we love about america man like you have to live those things as an individual for that to exist and i don't think people understand that you have to live those things as an individual for that to exist. And I don't think people understand that. You got to be, people have to, I think they got to see, they see you and they say, what, okay, so what is it about that guy that makes him? And then, and that's how you begin the conversation. It's not by talking down to people and things like that, right?

They got to see you live it. And you also, like, we can't accept that we're talking about a presidential race, right? We also cannot accept that we would teach our kids in grade school to hate America. Like we can't accept that anymore. Like we can't accept the idea that you're going to divide students and have privilege walks at Wentzville. Like we just can't accept that anymore. None of it, dude.

So, and I think that if there was anything that came from COVID worthwhile, it was this, i think this realization of what was going on in schools and culturally like what our kids are being exposed to because um all the cultural winds are coming at us right you know you've got hollywood the universities you've got these these crt people you got dei all this stuff but they can only advance as far as we let them and that means people standing up in their communities and fighting back and finding people of like mind and going doing something right it's it's being engaged and uh so i think your podcast man the stuff you're doing

is is a um is a great avenue for people to do it because they see it and it actually does matter like it does matter it it's the only thing that's going to save us honestly i just i just think on top of that man it's just like dude i think no it's not the only thing that's gonna save us honestly i just i just think on top of that man it's just like dude i think no it's not the only thing bro it's it's gonna have like these dudes that i just mentioned besides you these guys are gonna have to get aggressive like they're gonna have to get like you've been aggressive like i said this on the show before you came on like i i'm super proud of like i've said this on other shows you may not have heard but i'm super fucking proud

that i supported you yeah in the campaign like when i see what you do it makes me proud i said okay that was a right move we did the right thing we've got a guy in there that's actually fighting you can't say that about many people up there dude a lot of these people are sitting in they're sit they're sitting on a cold seat when they should be standing up yeah and they should be talking and they should be executing. They should be making changes because the constant thing, the real demoralization that's happening in America right now amongst the street level citizens is this. Nothing's going to happen.

Right. Nothing's going to happen. We see this stuff happening and they're not going to do anything about it. Bro, there's pictures of Joe Biden's son doing cocaine, putting Skittles on his wiener, like with all kinds of like hoes and like all this shit all over the internet, bro. And this guy's taking money and he's, they're making decisions to get, and like, dude, this is, people see it and then they don't see anything happen. And they were like, well, well, this, this is bullshit.

Right. And so like that blow off valve. And I know this because I fucking, I'm in the conversation. If these guys don't do the work, the work's going to get done one way or the other. Well, we got to get the right people into, right. It's not just about. And so, yeah. Like, and somebody like me, you can't get there without people helping out either right so it's this thing

of uh i think finding the right people but also it's not just about the people you like man it's about it's about what you do in your daily life i mean think about this dude like you're a regular guy like a lot like you're yes you're a senator but you're a regular guy yeah okay i'm a regular guy look at this fucking guy okay let's just look at him he's a thousand years old he looks like the crypt keeper from from the crib yeah from when no from when indiana jones went searching in the last crusade and they found the cup of jesus christ and there was this old man the old old knight. Yes. The old knight. He woke up. It's a thousand years old and he can't stand up. And he's like, that's Joe Biden.

You have chosen wisely. Yes. He chose poorly. Right. This is the guy that chose poorly. Like if you watch that movie, there's the Nazi army that goes in and they look at all the cups. And the Nazi general picks this like cup that's encrusted with jewels.

And it's the most beautiful cup. And he's like, this is definitely the cup of Jesus Christ. And he takes a drink. And if you take a drink from the wrong cup, which is supposed to be the cup of life, it kills you. All right. You age immediately. And in the movie, the guy starts to age.

And if you play that part in slow motion, okay. Joe Biden actually played that character. It was in the credits. Bro, I want a side-by-side. Like, we're going to side-by-side this shit, okay? So find a clip, bro. We got to throw it up there. So the point is, this is the oldest.

These people are the oldest. Like, think of our grandpas. Like, think of our grandpas. Like, our grandpas like my my grandparents are dead yep but before they died they were close to dead right and we had to take care of them and we had to walk them around and we had like grandpa would say some crazy shit and we were like yeah that's just grandpa like right like but it's not just joe biden this is and he didn't have his your grandpa didn't have his finger on the, like the nuclear. Dude.

If my grandma would have had it, she would have nuked everybody, bro. She hated everybody. So, but the point is, is we have all these super old people who are calling the plays for all of us. And we have very few young people like you or like me or like some of these other people that are like even resisting at all. And like, dude, it would make no sense for us to allow, like, bro, if you and I, let's just break this down. You and I are going to start a company. We're going to go find the oldest, most mentally handicapped person we can to be the CEO.

Like, that's a losing strategy, right? And we have that right the CEO. Like that's a losing strategy. Right. And we have that right now. No, that's not the right one, dude. Yes. From Indiana Jones,

Indiana Jones, the last crusade final scene when he goes, yeah. When he goes into the, into the thing, but are you saying the night or you're saying the guy is the ages? I'm saying the guy is the ages. He looks just like Joe Biden's hair is like at the,

I know that movie. Well, yeah, there you go. you know how his hair gets like straight grows the back of his head yeah bro that's a great you gotta go uh so that's when he's saving his dad there he is yeah there that's him that's joe biden but like a few frames before that so like if you see that that clip he starts as a normal human and then starts to age. So if you just reverse it back, it'll be, it'll be Joe Biden. I'm confident. I remember I've seen the movie a thousand times. I know me too.

Yeah. It's one of the last great real action movies where they actually went and filmed it. Yeah. It was like a movie you had fun watching. Yeah. But like, dude, we had the weakest, weakest oldest most corrupt people calling the place for our future man yep like we wouldn't allow this in any other situation and we're allowing it with the president of the united states well i mean you want you to go back and remember one of the stories

of covid that nobody really talks about is bernie sanders who's also super old bernie sanders was going to win their primary. Yeah, and they cheated. And then they were like, well, we can't let that happen. So Obama cuts his deal. Kamala Harris gets on the ticket and he wins South Carolina. And then there's a couple other ones. Then everything shuts down.

Think about it. If COVID would have happened three weeks earlier or something or whatever, Bernie Sanders would have been the nominee. I mean, it's and so they put Biden up there as thinking he was the most like whatever appealing because he was going to be some moderate or something. That is not who that guy is, man. He is whoever's pulling the strings behind the scenes. Oh, he's for sale. These are radical leftists, man. And all this stuff we've been talking about today is because we have an administration that's just like on hyper speed on the wrong way so ludicrous speed like in space balls i see your schwartz is as big as mine space balls you know i know you're old

you have your audience you don't have the same fucking movies i know i know i know i know yeah oh man yeah sweet well guys that was our third and final headline it is time now for our final segment of the show as always thumbs up or dumb as fuck that's when we bring a headline up we go through it talk about it and i get one of those two options uh so with that being said our thumbs up or dumb as fuck headline reads georgia police officer gifts boy ps5 after receiving a call to take him away take the take the kid away yeah what happened yeah well let's dive into it so a georgia boy was giving an unexpected gift by a Hatfield police officer after someone reported him for trying to find work around the neighborhood. The boy in a suburb. Wait, wait, wait.

Yeah. Someone reported him for trying to find work. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So the boy in a suburb just south of Atlanta intended to do yard work, such as pulling weeds, cutting grass, trimming hedges for neighbors. His goal was to save up money to purchase a PlayStation. A nearby resident contacted police regarding the kid intended to have him

taken away. Officer Colorado of the Hatfield police department arrived to speak with the boy who expressed his desire to earn money to purchase a gaming system. Quote, the young man was polite, respectful, and truthful, Officer Kylo Ren shared. Here is the video of their interaction. Oh, man, that's cool. That's awesome. It's pretty cool yeah so so colin ran shared that he too

is a passionate gamer and offered to assist the boy in achieving his goal the officer coordinated with his department to present the boy with the playstation 5 and an online gaming gift card the two plan to continue their friendship online where they will band together in the gaming world what do we got on this guys i mean i think that's amazing i mean it's obvious that's a thumbs up man the headline was misleading though i didn't understand the headline but yeah that's an awesome story dude this this is the truth yeah and this is what really happens right yeah this is not this is the truth about police officers, man. Like police officers are, and dude, it bothers me because the Democrats hate the police, the libertarians, you say anything nice about the police, you're a bootlicker or some shit. It's like, bro, these are people who are paid very little relative money to serve our communities

in a very dangerous job where most of the calls they go on are dealing with people who are drunk or drugged up or misaligned some way that we don't want to deal with. We don't want to deal with those people. And they consistently do amazing things like this in the community. And it never gets talked about. Once it gets talked about, oh, the cops shot a criminal. The dude was a criminal. We shoot criminals here, bro. This is America.

When I was AG, somebody was asking me a question like, what's the thing that keeps you up at night? And my answer was, all the men and women that'll never go into law enforcement now, that we'll never know who they are because of all the stuff the media pushes about what they do. And we need the sheepdogs, right?

We need people who are willing to stand up for their community. And this is like a great example of what they really do. Dude, remember when you and I were growing up, bro, and like police officer was like a thing you wanted to be. Yeah. I want to be a police firefighter. I want to be a firefighter. Like that was like, you wanted to be a police officer, you know? Um, it's, it's, what do you think of this? I mean, this is obviously amazing story, but while we're on the topic, what do you think about shrinking the government

massively and reallocation of funding towards things like police officers getting paid a reasonable salary and attracting a higher level of human beings to do this incredibly dangerous and stressful work? 100%. In fact, yeah. And what we ought to be doing more of is the federal government ought to be block granting more money to states to do stuff that works in their own communities, right? Recruitment, pay well, pay police officers better, pay firefighters more, pay teachers more, like the stuff that we know has a lot of value, right? But that gets lost, right? We spend all this money on, like, I'll give you a perfect example. We have people calling our office all the time now for passports.

Like, if you're traveling, a lot of people are traveling now, it's really hard. Like, the delays are like a couple months. We've had over 500 people call the office. That's just people who actually picked up the phone who just didn't give up and say they can't get a passport. Come to find out we're investigating this. The State Department is spending, you you know tens of millions of dollars think it's 30 million dollars on dei trainings in foreign countries right like just think of all the money and these countries are taxing their citizens and sending the money to us they're not

we're we are and so like it's just it's that kind of stuff and you know a lot of people up there i mean you know like 30 million dollars was 30 million million is a lot of money. You do a lot of dollars, you know, this cop what he's worth. Um, so anyway, it's a misalignment of priorities. And I think some people just think it's just like this bottomless pit and you know, what are you ever going to do? Well, how about starting there? How about making sure people get their passports instead of DEI trainings in France? Do you think that this, do you think that we can recover from the level of like misappropriated funds and overtaxation that our government

is like doing to our citizens right now? I can't, I do, but it's going to take, like I said, it's going to take some real structural kind of reform, right? Because what's the chances of getting these guys, like, bro, you're an attorney. You know how the attorneys work. You know, oh, I'm going to sue this guy. And then you start talking attorney you know how the attorneys work you know oh i'm gonna sue this guy and then you start talking you guys go to dinner you go to golf

and then it's like we get them to do all this shit like like how how do you get attorneys to vote for something that's not in their own personal interest yeah no it's a good question because a lot of people just they'll spend money up there because they think it's but that's again man what i told people when i was running was look look, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to make us, I want us to be energy dominant. I want to, you know, control the spending, cut the spending. I want to dismantle the administrative state. I want to take on big tech.

Like that's, that's how I'm wired. And you're doing every single one of those things. Yeah. But you've got to have people who actually like, like people have to be responsive to what people want. And anyway, so. Well, um, anyway, so. Well, brother, look, man, um, again, dude, first of all, thanks for coming in and giving us the time.

Yeah. And more importantly, thanks for doing what you're doing. Cause if it wasn't for you, like real talk, bro, I'd have a little, very little hope, very little. And I, I, I don't see very many people doing what you're doing. Um, if any, and it just gives me like, I'm less optimistic than you are, but the fact that you're up there doing it, it makes me like pause for a second and say, okay, let these guys do their work. So it's just very much appreciated, bro. And I don't, I don't know that you, I know you don't

get the credit that you deserve for what you're doing. Well, listen, man, I appreciate that. And you guys, thank you for what you do. Like your number of downloads. And so like anytime you're, you know, liking something on Instagram that I'm doing or Twitter or Facebook, all that stuff, we just got to come together and fight for the things that we believe in and make it work.

But you guys are on the front lines too in a, in a different form, but it's going to take all of us together. So thanks for you guys. And I think, well, dude, thank you,

man. But like, I think, I think what you just said, it takes all of us together is the point that we should really hit on at the end of this show. Like you're yes, you're a Republican Senator,

but by no means are you some far right? Crazy, you know, like we're, we're like reasonable dudes for like 2005 bro you know what i'm saying like like i want everybody who's common sense to like let go let go of these political titles man let go of these affiliations that you've had in the past assess the situation for what it is right now and work together to solve it. Because dude, America is the best place in the world simply because we have been the only

experiment of a country that's ever existed where people from all different cultures, all different religions, all different walks of life, all different levels of melanin in our skin or whatever other differences have been able to come together and create the most free country that's ever existed in the history of humanity. And yes, there's a lot to complain about. Yes, I don't agree with everything that everybody says on the right or the left. We all have our own opinions. But bro, if we want to have anything that resembles what you and i love and what you love is america and what i think all of you guys love is america we are going to have to get over

the intentional division that these people put on us day in and day out and work together to solve some of these problems and so um and i know that's what you stand for as well absolutely and so do the people that the millions of people who listen to you every week yeah that's what you stand for as well. Absolutely. And so do the people that, the millions of people who listen to you every week. Yeah. That's what they believe too. And so I think that we're, you know, we can do this.

Yeah. I think so too, man. Yep. Well, brother, I appreciate you. Hey,

you too. Yeah. Thank you so much. Yeah. All right guys. Well, that's the show. Don't be a hoe.

Cheers. Cheers. Share the show.
