you've had a dynamic where money's become freer than free if you talk about a fed just gone nuts all all the central banks going nuts so it's all acting like safe haven i believe that in a world where central bankers are tripping over themselves to devalue their currency bitcoin wins in the world of fiat currencies bitcoin is the victor i mean that's part of the bull case for bitcoin if you're not paying attention you probably should be all right i got the most blowback i've gotten on twitter x in years for quote tweeting uh one of the videos of the uh the drug boats getting bombed and saying i voted for this this is uh extrajudicial killing a fisherman off the coast of venezuela well yeah with the libertarians have

all lost their minds because they don't know how to read um i'm just gonna make it well i'm just can be blunt um people that are non-state actors in international waters have no rights under uncaused um if they're told to stop and they don't then you can do whatever you want to them like i mean the guy had a huge post on this the other day and i'm like oh by the way senator rand paul the operative word today is piracy piracy is still illegal in the open seas and if you only want to describe weapons as you know guns that's great but i'm sorry but you know cocaine is a weapon fentanyl is a weapon you know we're losing more people a year to fentanyl poisons that we lost during all vietnam well and that was that was a thing that pissed me off the

mess is like we didn't declare war it's like well obviously not explicitly declare war against these people aren't these people aren't flying they're not flying flags there if they were flying venezuelan flags this would be an act of war and then venezuela can declare war against us and then we can see who wins the american navy or the venezuelan navy of course rand paul doesn't want to address that because then that would blow the whole his whole um you know his whole fake moral outrage out the window like all the libertarians are crashing out over everything marty it's it's pathetic what i've been watching and the more i watch them crash out and i hate to say this i i'm i'm now going to like breathe fire for a couple minutes on this issue because

has really been bothering me but the more i watch them crash out especially over over venezuela over over the one big beautiful bill the epstein files this all of this anti-trump crap every goddamn bit of it is making me believe that the whole thing was a big goddamn british shy out from the whole from the beginning in the first place like i can't not see it anymore like jay dyer's been screaming about this this stuff for years i usually no come on that's crazy the laroosians have been saying the same thing for years that's crazy talk now i'm watching them in real time i mean i had to i had to hang my head in shame today when i saw ron paul say the hegseth killings need to stop now do i believe that ron paul wrote that tweet no i believe that faggot daniel mcadams

wrote that tweet but you know ron hey man blink twice if you can't speak freely anymore but that's where i am i mean i i'm i'm over this stuff we're at war with the we're at war with everybody uh i don't know where you lost me in the middle of that round where i were with everybody we're at war with everybody uh what i mean everybody i'll define everybody as the west um so europe city of london the old uh you know venetian jewish this whatever you want to call it big organized crime syndicate that's existed for the for the last you know i don't know two thousand years pick your poison so how far back you want to go like we're at war with all those people we want our independence as a country for the first time in our 250 year history and uh you know every as far as i'm

concerned if you just watch who's screaming and that's who you know who the enemy is so as far as i'm concerned rand paul is now the enemy he's made it abundantly clear he's the enemy of civilization like i'm sorry sometimes you're going to have to take your principles and understand how the the non-aggression principle actually works which is when people are aggressing you and they're bringing crap into your community that you do not want that is killing your people you have every goddamn right to blow them out of the water it seems pretty straightforward to me non-state state flying a flag not flying a flag dick up somebody's ass or whatever i don't give a shit like it's dumb and it's so pathetic to watch this happen so what i found really interesting

what i find really interesting is for the first time ever i'm watching people on quote unquote our side of the ledger meaning the conservatives or trump or whatever you want to call it the the sovereigntist or nationalist um people let's let's call them the inheritors of uncle joe mccarthy um are finally fighting back and using media in a way that they always use against us like i'm watching trump not fight fair oh you know how the democrats don't fight fair the or the the commies don't fight fair they say a whole bunch of shit that's not true like ilana omar or any of these people they say a whole bunch of shit that's not true they propagate that falsehood through the media and everything else for for weeks on end and then you know issue some half

hearted retraction later on but they've seeded into the zeitgeist the idea that you know donald trump is you know a rapist or whatever it is or he's in the epstein files or to pick a thing that they that they lie about i'm watching trump and his people now lie about you know now openly you know speculate oh really is rand on the take from venezuela because i saw that yeah i don't know if it's true or not i don't even care i just know that somebody seeded that into the zeitgeist and i'm like yeah prove that you're not like play the olinsky game on them they deserve it because this is war and there are no libertarians or atheists in foxholes and that's just the way it is yeah and it seems like how so i sent that tweet out got a lot of

blowback particularly from libertarian leaning bitcoiners who say i'm supporting the war state but again to me it's like hey uh i'm from philadelphia i grew up not too far from the frankfurt l which is where you see the tranked out zombies uh and there was a pretty in-depth like mini dock on that part of the city last year that really tied it to these uh the trend gang specifically and they're talking about how they get trank and fentanyl into united states and to me it's like hey there's boats that are bringing these drugs in you can find them in the sea and take them out like you got to send a message like there's equal opposite reactions yeah and if anything we're being merciful because of the amount of lives that have

been lost in the united states it's it you're correct and um that's very important understand that what this is really about the minute we started going after venezuela for real you realize that now you trump opened up a different front first he went after of course um city of london and europe with by going after all the ngos right the globalists that wing whatever you want to call it i used to call it davos sometimes sometimes i call it the high table now i just like to keep changing the words to fit the model of whatever's in your head you the listener because everybody has a different model of who the enemy is in their head but it's all basically the same people okay you can add more or less you can add more of a note of an air of limey you know liminess to it

or jewishness to it or old roman empires i don't care it doesn't matter the people these people are scum and they think they run the world and they traffic children and they and and and run drugs and everything else and they own and run the intelligence services so trump started a an international war to end all the war all the the physical wars and the old geopolitical conflicts overseas and that's him that's him fighting all the roads lead to london aspect of things now part of what i'm about to say also leads to london but that road goes through langley and that's what venezuela is about so now he has set the military up against our intelligence services the as i would you would say the rogue intelligence services but when i the last time i

said that in my presence of my wife she's like no no no the rogue intelligence assets are the ones who are still patriotic and loyal to america the default position within the intelligence services is that they're traitors he's like i'm like yes i stand corrected plus so that's the front that trump is under as has opened up and that's who's screaming that's why the seditious six video that's why the open calls for the governors in blue states to um resist ice and tell the local police not to work with ice and not to work with the military and all the rest of the stuff um that's this is open color revolution stuff now this is you know step six or five six seven or whatever it is that we're on that moment where they're trying to uh test the loyalty of

you know the military at the you know company battalion level the national guardsmen you know and uh local law enforcement they're trying to test out loyalty who do you work for who are you loyal to so seditious six aren't that inspiring though uh it was interesting that they came out no because it wasn't about inspiring anybody it was a signal the way i read that video and other people that i've talked to have that you know are much closer to this type of informational warfare we're better trained in it than i am i'm not trained in informational warfare i just happen to have a knack for it i think um which is why i'm able to like you know arrogate these people around me curate them and chat with them on a regular

basis guys like ian burlingame and blaine holden some other people um and also the same thing which that was not a um that wasn't any kind of signal to try and you know get the normies to rise up against the evil trump that was a signal to their international partners that they're that they have their logistics in place and they're operationally ready to go that's the way i read it because they would never they would never come out and say the thing if they weren't trying to signal that they're ready to go and um now i think they're i think we're we're headed into 2026 with some kind of you know they're going to try something sincere because the way trump is winning scotus battles the way he's winning legislative battles the way he's winning you know honestly what i

like to call the meq battles and you know manila envelope quotient i've got the goods on you you work for me now and all the geopolitical battles as he unwinds all of these these permanent you know these british perma conflicts cambodia thailand india pakistan iran or iran israel israel gaza trying to end russia ukraine and others you know rwanda congo blah blah blah all of these venezuela and the rest of the western hemisphere all of these are old british and or french some of them are french um you know leftovers from the colonial era that they left behind as they quote-unquote left the physical you know control of these countries behind and kept in place political and economic control the british empire never ended it's

still there but as a financial web of old banking relationships old you know bland titles and income streams and and relationships familiar relationships and all the rest of it and you You know, and again, I'm using the term British Empire as kind of a catch-all for all of that because so much of the financial flows go through London. Some of them go through Zurich, certainly. Some of them go through Frankfurt. They've been, you know, they've outsourced some of this stuff in their global network. Some of it's in Hong Kong, Singapore, right?

Dubai, blah, blah, blah, blah. Some of it is in Venezuela. And we have to, you know, be willing to upset. Some of that is in Ottawa or in Toronto. A lot of the drug money is laundered through Canadian banks. Their control over the capital flow into the gold industry for years flowed through all the Canadian banks. And if you looked at the way that – I used to study this stuff

when I was first getting into all this stuff. I was first falling down the rabbit hole well before I ever stepped out in front of the microphone and did this stuff professionally, just when I was back when I was a chemist. And like everybody else in the world is kind of like, what is going on in the world and trying to figure out what's happening. One of the things that was really obvious, and I used to be a big fan of Jim Sinclair, and he would explain how gold exploration companies had to basically sell their soul

to the bank in order to get any exploration money. The bank would immediately go short against the loan. And, you know, effectively, you know, no matter what happened, the bank won. and the gold project never really ever made any money. It was predatory financing of the worst kind. And you stop to think about that in the context of why they would do that. It's of course so that they can control the price of gold

at its source all the way up the supply chain from E&P exploration and early production to futures markets to the distribution of the physical and then to the financialization of it over the course of time. and that has slowly and surely broken itself down over the years first the gold industry in particular started to self-finance you started to get companies like royal gold and wheat and precious metals and others that started in franklin nevada that started to do um direct financing

of the gold companies and taking royalty streams so the the birth of the gold and silver royalty companies were a shot against the the major canadian banks but those canadian banks that were controlling gold and turning it into uh you know the shadiest business on the planet that news for you they're the same banks that are running that are laundering money for the drug cartels in mexico venezuela and hong kong and around the world same people oh it makes sense that mark carney is uh the prime minister of canada considering his connection with hsbc back in the day hsbc former bank of england former former bank of canada right head of the both the boc and the boe yeah i mean brookfield and then now he's you know he's a major partner of brookfield

capital which is getting all of the contracts that the canadian government is putting out in order to do their like rearm thing like canada's turning itself now literally under carney is trying to turn itself into the arms and commodities brokerage house for the rearming of europe right i guess who's getting all those you know guessing getting all the sweetheart deals brookfield Capital. All right. Brookfield Asset Management. Sorry, that's the name of the company. BAM is a thicker symbol. So yeah. And guess who's on the board at Brookfield? One of the original investors in it. That would be no less than Mark Carney. So yeah. It's so blatant in your face. So freaks, this rip of TFTC was brought to you by our good friends at BitKey. BitKey makes Bitcoin

the administration and i don't think this is getting enough attention obviously in your circle and many parts of my circle people are paying attention to it but like mainstream i just did a reread of it this morning and made like a short video it's basically you have to read this this is like the most succinct clear and if you're an american looking for clarity in terms of what the current government has in store for you and the nation by extension this is one of the most incredible pieces i've ever written the fact that right yeah i i read it the other night i it came out and everybody forwarded it to me and i'm like okay i was busy with other things eventually somewhere around 10 o'clock that night i finally sat down i never worked that late at night never

but it was a nice night it wasn't bitter cold the cold the current cold front that we're getting here in Tennessee didn't come through yet so it was like I had just gotten a brand new pair of wool socks and like so my feet were warm and I pulled out my tablet pulled out a cigar and sat and I read the entire thing uh relatively warm in the you know 40 and it was balmy 41 degrees outside at 10 o'clock at night and I read the whole thing cover to cover and I was like yeah I voted for that I and all I could read all I could all I could hear the entire time I was actually i was describing this i think it was in this show yesterday with um with tommy kerrigan um ian burlingame and uh and alice craner i said while i was reading it i had two voices in my head

i had my voice in my head going this is one of the great and you know the ghost of joe mccarthy this is one of the greatest things i've ever read i've ever read in my life as an american And on the other side, I had the kind of pro-Russian, vaguely anti-American commentary out on the other side, some of whom were American, some of whom were my friends. I am reading it from that perspective, going, how could the United States be this arrogant to believe that they have the right to do this, to control the Western Hemisphere? and they would read it with nothing but that whole kind of pep-ass cabar style emperor empire of chaos veneer right that's their glasses so one movie you know one screen two movies and you put on the nationalist glasses or the pro-american we want our independence glasses and you get one story you put on the you know kind of vaguely old moldy old lefty um neoliberal

trained glasses of the you know of the anti-american set who thinks that you know that history started in 1946 and you get you know you get that version of i could read the document from both of those perspectives at the same time and i was like yeah i know how this is going to play in the zeitgeist at this point and i'm like i can tell you where i'm going to land and i can tell you exactly what i'm going to say to anybody who you know is is thinking like you know those guys like i can't do it anymore i can't even pretend to be happy about i i can't even pretend that that a lot of these people are being generous and that they just don't see it like i just i don't i don't believe it at this point because and this is and this is going to

come across as grousing but it's not okay i actually about i think at the beginning of the year i'm sure you and i did a show where i talked about how we were watching starting to watch people start to like crash out and misinterpret what trump is doing and i said watch in about six months everything's going to change six to eight months and they're all going to be like off the rabbit you know they're going to be off the deep end and now i can name names i'll give you a perfect example judge napolitano is completely off the deep end and then he has now poisoned everybody in his circle because they have a have an echo chamber and i know some of these men and i like them and they're my friends i've had dinner with them i you know they called

me up in the middle of the night they were need to be bailed out of jail i'd go in i'd go and do so not not not a thought in my mind right but to watch that well get poisoned because they missed a crucial part of the whole war that we're trying to fight knowing full well that in the conversation two three years ago we had conversations i was like no no don't look at it that way look at it like this and it started with the federal reserve thing and it's like and it's only snowballed for me from there and i'm not i haven't lost the plot i don't think but i like look let's continue to have this conversation let's not let's not retreat to our to our echo chambers and i can tell you that and it's sad because you know i'd call them up and say hey let's do a show and they get nothing

in response i haven't seen these crash outs what what are they hung up i'm talking like i go watch this go watch like anything that the judge puts out on a daily basis at this point it's it's it's not even worth i i had to turn it off after a while doug i can't i can't watch doug mcgregor anymore i can barely watch tucker carlson anymore like i can't watch any of these people because i don't i because i can't tell if they're just watching the you know they're putting on the wrong glasses and watching the 3d version of the movie though you know they're putting on their hopping glasses and they're seeing you know the aliens running the show or if they're just not looking at reality i can't tell at this point right and i can't tell if it's that or if they

really are you know i can't i don't want to believe they're anybody's anybody's asset like i don't want to go there but it's so hard not to and so i started talking about this yesterday and and alex craner was and rightly so was kind of um criticizing you know trying to get you know trying to get me to walk me off the ledge about this like but tom we have to continue to keep talking because at some point they're they're going to come around or we have to keep you know i'm like i yes i understand alex but it's you know at the same time some of what i what i do and i i know why i do i i make a conscious choice when i do something like this is to say i know i'm reflecting a certain part of the zeitgeist right that i'm hearing from the people that i um that

you know that tune into shows when i'm on them right or who are my patrons or whatever and so i i'm gauging the the level of frustration that everybody's having or the or where the the things of the narratives have shifted or where the break points in the narratives are what i'm trying to do is highlight that so we can all just get stop you know being little bitches and let's sit down have a conversation but you know you know for example robert barnes ghosted me three years ago and didn't say and then didn't interact with me in one way at all for three years even though my people were like dude have him on like have it out have him on the show or you know come on go on his show Well, let's talk about it until Venezuela, he comes after me on Twitter and calls me

a Q-tard. A Q-tard? Called me a Q-tard about the Federal Reserve trying to like take out City of London. I'm like, oh, that's it, dude. It's on like fucking Donkey Kong. Fuck you. Fuck you. You half-assed fucking process lawyer from Vegas.

Fuck off. that's all he said i'm like i just but i know what that was and he did it without at tagging me and somebody at tag and then somebody tagged me and let me see it and i'm like oh really rock and now i'm just like going and now i don't care like and i hate to like make this a big part of where we are but of this conversation today but it's important because what you're seeing is this is a classic divide and rule play that the british do they start these fucking psyops they create this they create this like this anxiety and this horse shit and get everybody fighting amongst themselves when we should be fighting the enemy which is them

and you know i don't care if you think the enemy is the jews or it's the brits or it's the french or it's the chinese or whomever but we should be having we should be you know who's the progenitor of these psyops i happen to think it's the british because like they've got 300 years of doing this shit and they're good at it and they've been skunk skunk works in this shit and the bowels of gchq and mi6 and mi5 for the last 300 years like it's nothing new so like i go there and that and i also go there because they're the ones always trying to deflect people from how from what they're doing as opposed to and then trying to turn it and scapegoat somebody else when you see somebody constantly trying to scapegoat somebody else and minimize and then activate their bot farms

to minimize their talking point you know you're over the target but now all of a sudden so now in the last year i've become a zionist shill that is part of the seven thousand dollar club because i have a roman nose i apparently like what are you kidding me i'm italian that's one of our top youtube comments when you come on i know it's hilarious it's pathetic like dudes i'm living in a fucking rv in the middle of the rural tennessee like half the time i podcast outside at my house or where i'm just to show people that like i'm not rich like if you think i'm i do this because you know the israelis don't pay very well then neither do the russians by the way and neither does trump like you know what i mean like at any one day i can be any i can be any one

of those three people i'm like how about i'm just a dude with a with an attitude problem and a and a big mouth that you know says shit you don't like i think that may be the case but i think that's kind of true right and uh i mean you mentioned like the two you on the shoulder and then the other lens on the other shoulder and you said you just hear them reading the national uh security strategy document saying on the arrogance but i thought it was written again intentionally in many different ways obviously the length of it the focus of it but even the wording like you said arrogance like when i was reading it there was like a bunch of humility which was like hey we're not going to nation build anymore we want to focus on the western hemisphere we don't want

to be over the middle east and meddling in affairs and in in that part of the world and we do have a focus on asia but we're not really going to be like gung-ho about things there we need to strengthen right number one our domestic economy and then our region and it's not nation building explicitly stated in the document like we're not here to nation build actually just want partner with like-minded allies in the region who can help secure their borders and then hopefully begin to engage in economic trade that uplifts all boots and again go read it it's 33 pages but really 29 pages of the strategy and this all seems pretty common sense straightforward to me which is refreshing as an american it's like oh you're actually telling us exactly what you want

to do and it makes a lot of sense right well this again the the two you know two movies one screen thing is that one is reading it generously and one is reading it ungenerously like i i've done podcasts recently with you know with people talking about you know the stablecoin bill the genius act and stablecoin plan and everything else and so many of them i just are they're in everybody's in such fight or flight mode and again you know when i watch people you know when i complain about what i'm seeing in other other commentators in the space i'm not doing so because i'm like angry or anything i'm like i'm actually disappointed and actually sad and frustrated because i can't have i know i can't have a rational conversation with them i i watched

alex you know for example i watched alex cristoforo you know debate susan kokinda on my friend crypto riches show and like it was like i it was exactly what i expected was going to happen which is why alex has not come on that show when i've been on for over two years and there's a reason and i could see that happening i'm like don't go there let's have don't let's not do this right and but it's the the the generosity is the important part they don't want to give up that it's the american empire is evil framework and you know i look at it and i'm like oh for fuck's sake for the first time in my entire life yeah we're not going to nation build around the world who wants his venezuela why he's been what do you think he has a carrier group in

venezuela he has a carrier group in venezuela because you've got you've got all this ew you've got all this all this ability to to watch and listen to the way the logistics are going to light up when they start when they you know take out a boat and then they got to still got to move product they got to move it through a different channel like you know you're just watching it you know you just they're watching in real time what's happening somebody else brought up to me today it was a patron like i was reading but checking my dms on patreon and patron came up with a great observation which i missed and i'm going to pass it along and it's not original for me it's from one of my patrons and it was a brilliant comment because he said oh by the way

maduro because he works for fucking britain was it was was getting ready to invade guyana because of the oil discovery and so now he can't invade guyana because he's got to worry about trump on his northern border he's got to worry about the carrier group on the northern border and you know off the north coast like how about something simple like yeah maybe they were planning on doing something else you know maybe the the real regime change was actually going to happen in guyana like i'm i'm not saying it's true or it's the only thing going on there i'm saying there's another you've got to add that to the mosaic of what venezuela is and if you think it's just about the oil holy shit dude you're like you're you're you're now in 2015 land like

we're not this is this has nothing to do with that this has to do with the election fraud with the drugs and the guns and the breaking up of the illicit money or the private money flows around the world, which keep the old empire, the shadow empire, which never ended, you know, flush with cash. The first thing Trump did was go after the public money, all the NGO money. Has he gotten rid of all of it? No. and so anybody who's crashing out with the with you know allowing the perfect to be the enemy of

the good arguments which is what you're seeing from almost every libertarian like he does nine things great or my let me let me back it up how we'll make it this way my dad used to have in his office this thing and it was a you know rules for working here every time you do something good you get an attaboy and so they're like all the lists of how you can get an attaboy but you know and it takes a thousand attaboys to get you know some kind you know to get the next thing but if you get one oh shit you're back to square one right so i used to read that my dad had that above his desk and and uh when i when i when he was my first boss and um i used to read that and i would just walk into his office and i'd laugh every freaking time i saw it but that's the way a lot of people

are arguing about trump's foreign policy and trump's domestic policy and his fiscal policy and everything else and it's nonsense he's shut down usa id which was the big money pump he shut down ned they've got people and he's got doge as an operations department embedded in every cabinet office so he doesn't need a separate bureaucracy called doge anymore and they're going through and they're destroying the grant money and they and all and those things that this shit takes time and to map at the same time map out where all the money's been flowing through the banks and everything else and sometimes the only way you can get that money to to to flow is to poke the snake and then watch them like the accounts up that have been dark forever personally i think

that's what's been going on with bitcoin for the last like three weeks i think they're like out of money like it makes sense to me that we're watching i think we're watching cold wallets that are old intelligence service wallets that are 10 years old like you know or oligarch wallets that are 10 years old that has been sitting there cold and then they're dumping these bitcoins on the market because dude i'm watching the markets today i put out a big long tweet this morning you know because you know and it was actually in response to something about a short conversation between Larry Leppard and Dave Collin. And for once, I wasn't being a douchebag.

I was just like responding to them. And because they're both good guys. I love Dave. But then it's like, okay, I put out a response tweet to them about Japanese yen and the bond markets and stuff. But no, this needs more color. So I didn't put up a big post, three-part post about bond spreads, the yield curve and all this stuff.

And, you know, and I said, we have, you know, so we're looking at this, you know, I'm trying to look at this differently now. What I think is going on with part of what could be going on with Bitcoin is when I'm watching the way the bond market, the US bond market is trading now, the character has changed. It used to be that when you saw a sell-off in the 10s and the 30s, you'd see buying in the 1s and 2s to try and sell the idea of a recession with an inverted yield curve. that's not happening the u.s yield curve is now really flat through the middle they're and then and then rising that means that they're selling tens and thirties but they're not

we're putting the money back in the ones and twos they just need the fucking dollars so it also makes sense that bitcoin's being attacked and capped every time it tries to bounce about 91 90 000 you're watching it like for the last three days it's been just like capped at like 90 or actually since thursday capped at like 91 grand it's the same you're watching that same you know behavior over and over again i'm like oh yeah yeah they they're out of money yeah it's a bunch of bart bart formations on the chart over the last week it'll get up what's a bart formation like bart simpson will go up oh like hover oh right right right right right right okay um yeah no exactly it'll go up it'll sit right sideways and it'll

crash it then it'll go back then it'll go back up again yeah especially if you watch like the the one hour or the the two hour chart i think it looks like it looks that way um so yeah i i've been thinking in those terms for a while now i also think that you know they're desperate to stop trump from um relisting fannie and freddie and get them back on the new york stock exchange and get the investor flow into that absolutely convinced now that the entire 2008 financial crisis was designed from the ground up to steal the to nationalize the mortgage market and the insurance markets i'm i'm convinced of it now i mean i i can't go back over this and what i don't know if i don't remember if you're a subscriber to the newsletter or not but i wrote about this

all last month in the newsletter and i went yeah my conspiratorial mind is now going back over 2008 and i'm looking at the series of events of what actually happened in what order on what date and i'm like the plan was to kill the plan was to take control of fannie and freddie and they had to then liquid then they had to detonate lehman brothers and aig in order to cover it up and aig was the only one that got the bailout lehman brothers got destroyed fannie freddie got put in the conservatorship london-based aig got infinite bailouts as opposed to being broken up into various good parts and bad parts and what did we wind up with we wound up with not frank supplemental leverage ratio all of this stuff that is denied and then obamacare which

fannie and freddie profits from 2011 and 2012 went to pay for obamacare hmm i i'm i'm seems interesting that we would stage one of destroying the capital formation and ability of your generation and my generation as we're coming into our prime earnings years that they would bankrupt everybody then then take then make it nearly impossible for small business owners to get a mortgage or or a loan in america because of the capital the capital requirements the fact that we can't use our balance sheets and our profit and loss statements to get loans we have to come in with our tax returns which they know damn well small business owners don't file on april 15th so for six months out of the year it's almost impossible to get a

fucking mortgage ask me how i know this because i just spent four and a half months fighting with wells fargo's underwriter because i hadn't filed my 2024 taxes yet because i'd filed an extension because we weren't ready yet like it's a simple thing like oh so you're going to do basic tax avoidance strategies by having you know like the same llc strategy every other fucking person in this country has well guess what you don't get to get a mortgage for six months because of stupid fucking dodd frank rules and elizabeth warren screeching at you screeching at the bank auditors fuck off that's literally the way the american mortgage industry has been working for the last 15 fucking years 17 years and on top of that the banks are all capital starved and they're had to

have to go along with this because the supplemental ratio leverage ratio was forcing them to hold extra capital against their risk-free u.s treasury bond reserves excuse me like i i i know you want listen to the podcast i did with caitlin long about this she's the one who brought this up yeah that's the dumbest thing i ever heard if it's the risk-free rate it's the risk-free rate or does the black shoals equation not work anymore yeah so and then they killed and then they and then they used the profits from fannie and freddie that they kept in the receivership on ice to fund obamacare to destroy the health care industry and that's well and that's why and then and then they gave us covid and then they flooded the

channel with money and destroyed the freaking pricing mechanism of everything housing cars jobs this everything beef all of it all designed to destroy the middle class because as always folks before coming this revolution the kulaks must be liquidated suffrakes health care open enrollment has started it will roll through the end of january opt out of traditional health insurance which doesn't care about you it's impersonal it's expensive they deny an increasing amount of claims premiums are going up you don't have to live this way you can opt out i opted out four years ago and joined crowd health i've been a crowd health member a very happy crowd health member for four years.

So go register now at unchained.com slash tftc that's unchained.com slash tftc and so how would you grade uh the administration despite all the blowback and i think what you would deem to be noise in terms of the only way they they don't get an a plus is that they're still validating the media trump hasn't fully destroyed the media by just going to fireside chats i mean if there's one thing that robert barnes and i agree about how he's mismanaged things is that he hasn't gone

the fireside chats there's like stop playing the the media's game you don't need to beat up on them anymore it's like beating up on a cripple everybody hates the media so it's it's easy we can take care of that i am perfectly capable of memeing ms pms nbc out of fucking business leave that to me you don't need you don't need to waste your time with that you're the president go speak to the normies and tell them and speak to the kids who aren't quite sold on you yet because you put out a meme coin last year and he needs he doesn't realize how badly that that fucking was it was a terrible move i know why they did it i try to explain this to my 19 year old daughter i'm like so i told my daughter i'm like dear you do realize that he spent nearly a billion dollars of his own money

on legal defense to stay out of jail right for all bullshit so the way they got that money back to him is that he issued a meme coin and they threw the money back in he didn't really most of the people who got caught up in that did not you know most of that money was not raised was not raised by you know normies making 85 000 you know plumbers making 85 grand a year that was mostly money that was funneled into it yeah you know it was no different than said than giving him a billion dollar book deal no which is what they're doing with biden right doing it on like the inauguration weekend like the friday of i think they let some foxes in the hen house with that world liberty five team uh never heard of them and i think they are opportunistic scammers

for lack of a better term but when i say like what grade would you give them i mean based off of of your like basically assuming that the public and many others don't understand what's going on like is he actually making progress is the administration making progress towards bringing sovereignty back to the united states i think he is and i think he's doing right i think he's doing well i think he could be doing better right but i'm okay with i'm okay with the with the perfect not being attainable it's a war and no you know and no war you know no battle plan survives contact with the enemy to be honest with you i think that he's done more than i ever expected him to do i didn't expect him when he you know i i know you and i talked about this um but just to

reiterate to the audience who may have who may not have seen those conversations i was shocked when it became obvious to me that he was going after london when he sent elon musk over to go after um the uh to go after kirsten armer and the rape gangs the minute he did that i about fell out of my chair and i'm like oh my god does trump actually understand what the problem is say it isn't so man and i i it was a big shock to me and like in the course of maybe two or three days i went from you know he's my ship he's you know he's a shitbag property developer from queens but he's my shitbag property developer from queens too dude like i was i was stoked i was absolutely stoked i spent the entire weekend like thinking

about the potential implications of that and then going over some of the stuff that i had missed in because like everything else you get you you think you know something so you go on autopilot for a while and then something happens that makes you go and you're like fuck i was wrong yeah okay and i and sometimes you go fuck i was wrong but i'm happy to be wrong that's a good sign and then he goes on then he goes you know then the first three months of the administration were amazing and you always had to realize that at some point the democrats slash the bad guys the media remember we're going to get their feet under them like dexter white and i had long conversations about this you know back in march april he's like he cannot let them get their feet

he has to constantly be hitting them and the epstein files was the perfect mechanism by which to derail his momentum right and he fell for it and he got sucked into it and uh you know they gotta win or even maybe two and you know i feel like this week or the last few weeks with the somali uh the minnesota somali narrative that's being unearthed there with the abject fraud of the uh of the uh medical grants and other sort of federal programs and i i mean tim waltz talking like barbara streisand affecting himself to having people drive by his house to call him a retard like yeah it's great i mean medically powerful but also like hey a microcosm of this mass migration flood the zone change the demographics demographics is destiny like really

highlighting like hey um they're not sending their best no they're not i mean somalia if they are sent they may have sent their best right you know no offense to you know somalia has been a place of it's been a pretty horrible place for a long time and you know people don't thrive you don't get you don't get the best people under those circumstances you don't get you know i mean like it's tough you know like we we know physiology is real if you starve children they don't their brains don't develop very well that kind of thing when they're malnourished and they're under you know like all of it and i'm sorry i you know i've used the phrase iq60 somalis enough times

that i'm not going to feel i'm not going to you know give a shit whether people think i'm a racist or not it's 2025 that that that term doesn't have any power over me anymore like maybe these are the best that somalia can actually give us maybe ilhan omar is like a six sigma somali she's clearly something because she actually can speak for fuck's sake but you know sorry folks i don't care if i if i offend the somalis in the audience but get the fuck out of my country because you were brought here by obama to destroy minnesota like you know how much obama hates america he took one of the whitest places on the planet and brought the dregs of africa and dropped it into minneapolis

i'm sorry he should be hung for that alone forget obamacare forget russiagate forget every every other goddamn thing that son of a bitch ever did that alone sorry so yeah trump has so many different ways he can get the momentum back and there's nothing there's nothing he can do about it i mean i mean you alluded to it but the over to window shifting how much does that play into his favor too i mean it shifted dramatically everything shifted that i mean like when you know that that chick at um at cinnabon the other day did you see that video yeah like you know i'm like and everybody's like yeah i mean everybody's like yeah we we don't care anymore like call us a racist i saw me the other day it was funny it was like 20 2015 you're a racist

whoa what what are you talking about and then 2025 you're a racist you know like i was like okay well more importantly too i think people are realizing like particularly as it comes to the immigration policy and sort of investigations into the small community in minnesota not columbus and other immigrant populations across the country it's like really getting on a brass tacks like all right are they positive economically or not and more importantly like really getting the message across like hey i'd rather not do this have to send the national guard in and border patrol but unfortunately we uh we're put in the situation and we can't just let it exist we have to do something about it yeah we have to do

something about it and most people understand that and that's what trump's biggest problem is the same problem that putin has i've been saying this for a couple weeks now like that that is that his population wants him to move harder like the the average russian wants ukraine dealt with more virulently than putin is and that's and that putin's got the problem of hardliners wanting him to go harder trump's got the same problem if if we take anything away from if we if the big takeaway that we should have of the rise and soon to be, thankfully, fall of Nick Fuentes, it's that. That there's an entire, there is a subset of Americans that are like, you need to move faster.

And part of that is because, again, let's go back to the fight or flight thing I talked about earlier. I talked about it in terms of the commentariat, worried about Trump not having a a clue as to how foreign policy is supposed to work i happen to disagree with that i think it's pretty obvious that he does um he just prosecutes foreign policy and statecraft in a different way than they're comfortable with and they're used to um we have the same he has the same problem he's got a lot of people that want him to move to go harder than he's going and he's trying to hold that line i think he's right to do that um but i can you know i i'm not gonna because again look at what happened with jim comey and leticia james you know you have the steve murray's out

there again love lieutenant colonel steve murray great guy call him a friend but him i've sparred with him like publicly on the air like but dude like just arrest somebody for fuck's sake okay so we arrest james comey we arrested leticia james and the judge just throws out the case because you know the senate hasn't confirmed any of our any of his ags like and i got news for you the legal team inside the united the trump administration understood this but what are you going to do what can you say other than hey approve our freaking our our district our our da's so we can go in there and then legally do what you know they threw harm I mean, they threw Alina Haba out the other day.

She's going to come back. But I mean, like, this is all this gross extend and pretend. And part of what's happening here, Marty, this is why I say this is Six Video. All of this stuff is all part of the same thing. They want to turn Trump into Lincoln. They want to turn him into the guy who has to suspend the Constitution, suspend habeas corpus and start doing stuff extra quote-unquote extra constitutionally in order to justify for them that they can go and they can wrap themselves in the morality of states rights and go we have

to defend democracy the same fucking bullshit that they're trying over in the european union to get the false flag putin into you know i don't know attacking gdansk or some shit i don't know but it's the same thing they need to have the moral high ground to be able to write the headlines to do the thing and that's what they're that's what they're playing that's their game plan that's the british model that is the color revolution model how you beat the color revolution model is exactly what trump and is doing which is you send in ice you send in the national guard and you break all this shit up and you you fight intelligence assets and intelligence money with the military because the spies can't stand up to the military any more than snipers can stand

up to you know company of men coming and you know in a in a you know snipers are only effective as long as they haven't their position hasn't been found the minute you know where the sniper is the sniper is not vulnerable and the sniper better better have a fallback plan right well it's the same thing with spies the minute the spy you don't you know that that's the spy you can't stand up to to men with guns at that point they come after you and they liquidate you and i don't care if that liquidation is financial legal whatever you know that's a metaphor for we're taking you off the board spies can't can't stand up to the military that's why trump is using the military the way he is that's why they're going after hegseth because you know uh and

i agree with the amberling game he wrote a piece the other day saying the reason they're going after hegseth is because he's a warrior who drinks too much he doesn't give a shit and he's going to blow you up because he knows you're the enemy and he doesn't give a crap what you have to say about he doesn't care but i don't care die that's my job die do you think they'll be successful and undermining heck seth and getting him out they've tried how many times now like the libertarians are are are deluding themselves into um um um delusion that dilute having delusions of adequacy that they have enough political power to do any of this bullshit like the truth of the matter is is that you know that x is a free platform because thomas massey and ran paul and the rest of them

and dave smith and all of these guys they all still have free they all still have the quote unquote pull that they do on x because elon can turn the freaking dial down on them to four tomorrow and he's not doing it well how much of this it's in his best it's in our best interest to do that but he's not doing it he's gonna let it play out because you need to running with this you need to show a relative restraint yeah you just you just have to keep staying on the just this side of constitutionality and then when they make a move you act decisively and you kill it with fire it's what they did in la in june the the l the riots in la in june over ice going into that laundromat which i thought was hilarious they went into a laundromat that was laundering

cartel money like the optics couldn't be more obvious and they didn't tell anybody what they were doing for five days they went in there on a friday and it wasn't until wednesday that tom homan started doing the the the the media rounds to explain why they were there they let the democrats and soros and the rest of them gin up a renter beaner mob do the whole set the fucking city on fire so that trump can then turn around and bring in the national nationalize the the california guard bring in the marines do the thing and wipe it out but the entire time they were watching all the money being lit up how many accounts got lit up to pay for that rent-a-beaner mob how and i've watched them do it now a hundred times all over the country

who is coordinating this in the administration is it i don't know but i but i'll but i'll take a i'll i'll take a guess that it's stephen miller or somebody attached or somebody directly attached to him yeah that's what i would suggest but i bet it may be that miller's more the constitution he's the one setting up all these eos to get knowing full well that they're going to get they're going to challenge them this way in court and then they have their then they send the the guy to the supreme court and make all these arguments like the the humphreys exception or whatever the hell it is that um uh that they were arguing today um that's an important one just as this is important as chevron like they they wrote a lot of these executive orders and they use

certain provisions of the of the of the u.s code the legal code like the emergency using declaring a state of emergency to do tariffs knowing full well that there would be a legal challenge that would go to the supreme court there i think they did all this stuff on purpose because you needed to get all of these old bad abrogations of executive power off the books now so what you know i talked earlier about reframing the 2008 financial crisis as a shot to get nationalized fannie and freddie is what if all the democrats fighting about oh my god he's going to get all these supreme court pick oh my god that it was all about abortion they kept saying it was all about roe v wade it's never about roe v wade it was always about chevron it was always

about the humphries executor it was always about this thing about it was about re-establishing proper executive power and it's funny i was telling talking to my wife about this i had that insight today or i had that thought today and then i was chatting with my wife and i said you know what really pisses me off he's like what i'm like well aside from everything i'm like yes aside from everything here um what really pisses me off is i think back now on all those the those the the libertarian commentators they used to read all the time that would complain about the executive getting too much power and that that they you know and it was it was all that it was a constant stream from all of these guys about how the presidents are now too powerful even though

the reality was is that congress well i i've kind of known this for a while the congress ceded some authority to the presidents that it shouldn't have ceded like never passing a budget declaring war or shit like that but on the other side the supreme court was handing executive power back to the legislature or worse taking it and handing it to the managerial class to the to the cabinet class and saying you can't do anything with you can't you you can't fire them you can't do this you can't do that and i'm like and they never addressed that part of it they only ever addressed executive overreach i'm like huh wow maybe it really was just nothing more than a big british psyop the entire time and that really that pisses me off because i don't want to believe that

of a lot of these men who you know are or i've always thought were good people and maybe they are good people maybe they're just not having again you know you can be misled and then you know and have tunnel vision because if you're imprinting or because of this or because of that like all of this stuff and i'm like there's something wrong here like all of this you know all of this stuff is not is it's off there's something very off about all of this and um i think everybody really needs to take a step back and really reassess what it is they think they believe that i and this and this is myself as well reframe what you think you know about history about america about the constitution about our republic about all this about all of this

stuff and i think if you do that honestly you're going to really begin to find where um the uh that's not the best way to put this you're really going to find um where the external lack of depth in your analysis actually your position actually is a lot of bitcoiners are really going to have to rethink and it's not just bitcoin gold bugs and everything like i i'm at the point now where i'm like i mean i don't even like i'm like really peter schiff you're a pacific capital he's been telling me the entire time he doesn't work for the united states yeah so it's not about gold it's about that it's about the fact that you know the his dad went to jail and died in jail over over you know the 16th amendment which by the way is you know was

you know it was laudable and it's right and i get it but you know hey if i if i have to play amateur psychologist for peter shift that's if that's as generous as i'm going to be but you know he should have processed that shit 20 years ago and that's been you know watching the way the world plays out i think his antipathy to bitcoin i could easily make the argument that his antipathy to bitcoin you know runs through his whatever relationships he has with london because london is absolutely dead set against bitcoin so is brussels so is you know that entire version of that entire area of the world they don't want that well it's bitcoin it's glad i'm glad to hear that the uh the enemy doesn't like it the enemy hates fucking bitcoin why do you think i'm

still a bitcoin guy why do you why do you i mean honestly if i mean if if i saw coming out of the eu and or out of london that they started to really embrace bitcoin i would have to take a serious step back and wonder about the whole thing yeah i'm not kidding i've seen you've been embracing xrp though what's up with that what's that you've been embracing embracing no i wouldn't say i'm embracing anything i'm all i'm doing is reading what's what's happening okay what i think is happening is that the america the the treasury department is is now is is in the process of you of creating a secondary a new mechanism to replace swift to replace all the to replace a global payment system and settlement system for u.s treasuries and u.s dollars that is not controlled

by swift the bis the imf the world bank all that all of that and that's and i think ripple's just been chosen i that's what i think and it's nothing more nothing more complicated than that i know there are a lot of people out there who want to call me a ripple show and a shit coin or this and out. I'm like, dudes, I've literally stated this exact thing this way for a year. And I'll be honest with you. My people internally were begging me, begging me for two years, the Ripple guys in my community. Two years. Tom, what the fuck, dude? You have to take a look at this. What's going on? I have serious freaking Ripple guys in my community. And it finally, you know, it was only i finally sort of like watching the um the lawsuit the sec lawsuit and watching the

machinations of the sec lawsuit and that's when i realized that yeah no this is clearly an operation this was another one of those extend and pretend operations and it was designed to do a bunch of things i think the i think jay clayton left that poison pill on his way out the door in order to get us to the point where we could have real crypto legislation in the united states because we had to have a we had to have a court case which then defined what a digital security was and what a digital asset you know where the the you know where securities begin and end in the digital space and i think that that's what that was for with the long-term plan of trying to,

if they ever got back into power, to wrest control, the monopoly control of the issuance of dollars away from the Federal Reserve and put it back in the hands of the Treasury. And I think we're, I've been saying this for a long time. You know I have. This is nothing new. I've been saying this, go back almost four years now,

three and a half years. I'm saying that I think that this is where we're headed. And I think Besant has made it abundantly clear that's what he wants. I think Jay Powell will set the table for him. And I think if Kevin Hassett is the Fed chair, it's going to happen. Odds are looking pretty good for that. I know I was talking to, I actually had Susan Kukinda on for the first time last week.

Didn't know you guys were friends. But she brought up the presser that Bessent did either last week or the week before where he mentioned like 50% of my job is national security, which was a surprise to him. i also noted marty so two days after scott besant comes out and says buying bitcoin is good for america they start bombing the fucking crap out of it what's that's idea oh the british start bombing i think that i think we're taught we're dealing with that whole globalist crowd trying to attack and i think it's coming to strike directly it probably came from what i think and and others but yeah and again larry think is also in trouble because black rock and blackstone and which you know and all of those guys those private equity

guys are all you know over beginning to get over a barrel on all of their their residential real estate in places like new york the clos are blowing up their their private equity their private loan portfolios are blowing up they may just need a whole fucking load of dollars dude yeah that's a good point and scott percent is sitting back there going hi my name is thurman munson and i'm catching fastballs hugh scott is just on the mound and i'm catching fastballs well there's a lot of bitcoins stick them in the sovereign wealth fund another 100 bitcoins stick them you know what i mean so yeah well there's a lot of focus on the midterms last year obviously polling doesn't look great because people want things to be faster harder in your

mind how much of this needle threading is dependent on midterms next year if midterms are are everything it's clear and obvious that the whole point of the extended pretend you know the fighting over the big beautiful one big beautiful bill the government shutdown all everything marjorie taylor green crashing out i firmly believe she's in the pay of somebody else fucking cunt um marjorie taylor drama queen sorry um and uh they are clearly targeting a midterm scenario i mean it's very obvious if we get honest to god you know voter roll cleanup and election integrity which i think trump is now going to start really pivoting to cleaning up obamacare

and he's going to probably see he's got a little bit of time right now he does because he's got until tax return returns start coming in and people start getting their refunds from all the lower middle class people getting their refunds because of no tax on tips and little things like that a lot of people in the lower mid to lower income tax brackets are going to start getting their refund checks they're going to be bigger than they thought that's going to help him you get the state of the union address coming up in the you know probably late january and he's already seated the zeitgeist with we need to reform obamacare we need to deal with this we need to do all these

things and uh we need to get fannie and freddie out the door and start overhauling the mortgage markets because once fannie and freddie are out of conservatorship and they're backlisted on the public markets then they can begin the process of changing the terms of which we get a lot of mortgages we get our mortgages um and we start putting it back to this at the center of american financial power which it was um and then all these other things start maturing like all the investments all the factories are being built all the stuff that's happening yeah like it's it's it's starting and he's got time to then really start to make the argument for um for a lot of these things and he doesn't have to go faster per se he just needs to start making things

better a lot of these people are not going to go to jail during this term like if anybody thinks that hillary clinton's going to jail that's not the that's not who cares why we care about jim comey why do we care about leticia james these are all that's all bait being dangled out there to find out just how far they're willing to go to stop, to derail the train. The target is Obama. And if you go after Obama,

you can't fucking miss. It seems like they... Trump doesn't want anybody else other than Obama. That's all he wants. You can smell it. It seems like that's what Tulsi's been focused on, right? The last few months. And notice how Trump is out there taking everybody's

slings and arrows while she's in the background. quietly doing her thing how do you think that's going to play out what's the timeline going to look like i don't know i don't have i don't have a i don't have a feel for that but you know you can think in terms of i would say is that you focus on the domestic stuff now you reassure people that you don't look like a whole bunch of let them eat cake so quote-unquote supply siders like they branded reagan with it even care and all that crap but it's you know like both sides of the of the argument work i mean demand pull and supplies so yeah there are many different ways to skin the cat let's let's fix the fraud let's get rid of you know let's just get things

going right let's keep things moving forward um obama you're not gonna probably be able to do anything until there's a new congress at all realistically you can barely get ukraine settled because trump part of the reason why trump is having to like play the game the way he's playing it over ukraine he can't just walk away because if he does so he will lose so much support in congress it's not funny and they won't pass anything if not fucking impeach him not because we we would want this we want this they don't they're dirty they're on the gravy train they're on the grift every goddamn one you know the ones who are just cynically on the grift and there's other ones that are like hip deep in the

fucking corruption and all of it and you don't think he can't get you know sick they can't get they can't muster 60 votes in the senate if he doesn't set the political table on ukraine this is why these people would just pull out okay yeah then what like sorry this is why ron paul would have been a terrible president but he would have been an awful fucking president because he would not have navigated the politics of the situation and they would have never had the opportunity i mean maybe in 2012 things weren't as bad as they are today uh that's arguable that's arguable because that's when ron would have been president 2012 right um then you can make that argument and you know we can fight about it you know like men but um but trump has real reality in front of

him which is that he would he has a congress that would impeach him tomorrow for being donald trump if they could get away with it politically it's still here yeah it pisses us off that it's a year we're nearly a year into this and we're still dealing with that yeah war sucks get a fucking hat and pick up a rifle like that's the way it is yeah they're still shelling us but we're still alive we're still in the game we're more in the game now than we've been in a long long time take the win think don't think glass half empty don't think like you're in your fight or flight mode get out of fight or flight mode or get out of flight mode and get into fight mode and go no no we got this done we got that done what can we do with that those are new assets that we have

on the table how can we use those assets to go from here to there and then from there to there like I was talking to somebody the other day and like you have to think like Patton so little known fact you know I'm a huge Star Wars fan so Star Wars Empire favorite movie of all

time number two is Patton number three is the Maltese Falcon okay after that the list gets a little inky but But Patton, you know, asked very famously at one point during the whole thing,

George, I would have thought you just got done with a big battle. I would have thought you would want to regroup and consolidate your gains. He's like, not me, Freddie. I don't like to pay for the same real estate twice. Patton believed in attacking all the time. Once you have the enemy on the run, especially, and the more I learned about German logistics and the difference in logistics, Patton understood that we had immense logistical

advantage over the Germans, just numerically. I mean, our logistics lift in World War II was off the charts, right? And a variety of reasons for that, because we decided we rightly saw this would be an industrial war. We had industrial capacity.

We used it, and we just outperformed, we just outproduced the Germans. German shit was better. We had more of it. A lot more of it and our troops and on average over the course of on any given day over the or over the lifespan of the war our troops were better armed better uh better better fed better equipped with inferior equipment because we had more of it all we had to do was knock out one german tank and it

was out off the field for months for weeks you knock out a sherman and you know guys could fix it by the side of the fucking road with the parts of the other sherman that just got hit right like hell you could like there were there were parts sharing between the freaking jeeps and i guess it was just insane the way we we fought that war the point being is that patton understood that he had the logistical lift meaning he never wanted to go backwards because that was his asset he understood that was the asset you use to win this war not anything else because that's the best asset that he had you train the men to believe in the asset of the of all of that and boom you can do miracles and you can get shit like the battle of

the boat right um that's the way we have we fighting this war today again and this is an informational war this is a financial war this is a kinetic war this is all this is a multi-theater multi-operational war it's like everything else so here we are in the information space here trump in the political space and in the and in the military space and the financial space he's fighting on all those fronts at the same time he's doing a reasonably good job of it and you'll notice that he's not going backwards he refuses to go backwards what's the one thing about donald trump we all know he's a hard worker well it's not just that he is a hard worker but what with certain to you we know that he's not going to do tomorrow apologize he does not apologize he just

moved forward i made a mistake fuck that we move forward he's literally cursing more too he's getting more brash it's awesome it's like it's it's hilarious when he tweeted retweeted the other day that video of him and fat jd vance uh setting up the the the metal band outside of tim waltz's house i'm like this is the best fucking timeline ever like and there was another one this morning of him and leon musk in x-wings attacking the eu death star and it was oh it was beautiful um like like that's where we have to be we know that's what we have to do and and yeah does it sound like i'm a you know you know trump cock knob or whatever fine yeah whatever i don't give a shit dude he's the general we have he may not be the general we want but he may be the only general

who could actually get us to this point in the fucking first place so stop whining and go figure out how you can make this better because i got news for you dude sitting on the sidelines and bitching about israel isn't winning the fucking war well so it doesn't matter whether israel's evil this that or anything else they're soon to be an asset you have to think like i mean Seriously, if I'm Donald Trump right now, and I'm using Israel here on purpose because it's like the one liability we're supposed to have, okay? I'm doing this on purpose, and I love feeding the trolls because it just makes me happy because, again,

Patton's my second favorite movie of all time. Israel, at this moment in time, if you rip them away from City of London, becomes an asset. yeah they may be suck and they may be evil whatever i don't care i can use them to my end to get what i want which is to make america better i'm thinking like donald trump and that's the way he works and that may that may rankle your morality and that may get on your you may not be able to square that with you know with whatever god you worship or whatever fine but geopolitics doesn't care about your morality survival doesn't care about your morality

that's where we are and that's the way we have to analyze the world this way i always analyze money it's the alternative too it's just like handing it back accelerating towards socialism yeah why don't we just hand it all back to the the globalists who are gonna like put us in cages and tell us we can't eat meat and tell us that cockroach milk is four times more nutritious than cow's milk and all this shit that you know like every day they they go as deep as depraved as i thought they ever could be i saw that one the other day and i was like yeah that's your alternative so you know if you want to think that i'm in the seven thousand dollar club folks taking my 30 pieces of silver from the fucking israelis you go right ahead i don't care i'm on the side

of the guys not going backwards we love it what is um to end out the year sure any predictions for 2026 or things to look out for really yeah an attempt an attempt like it's a civil war 2025 well the civil war right now is the intelligence services have have um have declared civil war they've made this abundantly clear and we're going to i'm expecting if trump continues to run the table on well i i'll be let me let me put it this way we just had this meeting today between queer stalin um emmanuel macron and and uh and frederick i can't um frederick merritt um uh and and zelensky they've made it abundantly clear that they want war with the russians no matter what and they're willing to go along without the americans well

good luck to you and we'll sell you guns and you know again the anti-war crowd will you know tie themselves in the knots that you know we shouldn't be doing that well yeah we can sell them guns fine i happen to think for the most part that they're not going to buy they can't afford to buy our guns because we may you know say hey oh but by the way you got to pay us in gold because we're not taking fucking euros from you um and um oh and if you want to sell those euros to buy dollars to buy our weapons great that's fine you can watch your credit ratings go into the gutter so we've got you coming and going folks because if you do that we're going to take those dollars and we're going to buy gold with it we're going to send the six thousand dollars

and we're going to fuck you that way okay so i like besent is a badass by the way okay um so if we keep winning like that in the battles that matter and epstein is not a battle that matters marjorie taylor green's battered wife thing not a battle that matters and all the battles that matter if we're winning if he keeps winning they're going to force them into their nuclear option which is they're going to attack our bond markets tell all the governors to um to secede from the union over some created false flag slight whatever it is i i know that's what they're ginning up with these with these war crimes over venezuelan drug boats which is the i i i never thought it would be this lame it's very late it's so lame it's so lame i'm like

god oh friday that's all you got you're gonna you're gonna impeach him for blowing up the dealers that's fine yeah no like understand marty i have no problem with us deficit spending right now to pay for the 50 000 signing bonuses for people to join ice to get rid of all of these people in this country that's where my soul is that's why and and why do i think that and why have i decided to get off the the the morality train whatever i'm not yes i'm no longer in the i don't kick puppies club i don't wear that t-shirt anymore um it's for my daughter it's for your children and it's for everybody's children listening whether you want me to whether you want me to to be working on behalf of your children or not even if especially if you

hate every fucking word that came out of my mouth so far tonight great still gonna fight for your kids that's what trump is doing i know that's what he's doing and that's what guys like hexeth are doing i know that's what tulsi gabbard's doing she couldn't have children and now she has put her entire life into national service yeah well it's funny you say that too because going back to like the overton window shifting whether it's the somalian immigrants just the immigration issue broadly speaking i think particularly in the last three to six months for me personally like and especially when like this the minnesota fraud came out it's just like listen i don't want my kids to live in a country where that's happening

like i'm sorry like i don't care if you call me racist a xenophobe a warmonger whatever it is like i'm sorry my my boys will not i've been called everything under the i've been called everything under the sun like mr putin doesn't pay very well mr netanyahu really doesn't pay very well um you know the you know mr trump doesn't pay very well either none of them pay well like you know who pays well my patrons pay well that's who pays well and um i you know whatever god i may or may not believe in i you know thank him for those people every fucking day because they give me the opportunity to give it to you with both barrels and a little dirty to make it stick again i'm going to keep quoting patent here until you guys fucking get it

um because i'm not shoveling shit louisiana folks all right um that's what this is about and we either you know this is what i'm good at right i'm not much good for anything else i'm really not so this is what i'm good at what are you good at what are you going to do to make the world a better place and whining about war crimes against nar against fucking cocaine traffickers on twitter is not making the world a better place it's just not so go make your community better get the fuck off of twitter shut the fuck up you're not that powerful and oh by the way your ideology probably came from the same place that communism came from the bowels of mi6 hate to break it to you folks i was duped too for a long time
