Elon and Mass Formation Psychosis

1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,840
This is America.
Day.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,480
Beware the beast man.
Alone among God's primates, he

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,440
kills for sport.
Who's next?

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,680
Yay he.
Will murder his brother to

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,760
possess his brother's land.
They're not breed in great

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,560
numbers.
For he will make a desert of his

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,760
home and yours.
Oh my God, shun him out of

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,640
order.
Drive him back into his jungle

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,160
lair.
For he is a harbinger of death.

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:42,440
Fight really didn't.
Iran Musk will remain a friend

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,720
and advisor to the Trump
administration even after his

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,040
tenure leading the Department of
Government efficiency comes to

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,640
an end, according to Vice
President JD Vance.

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaking on Fox and Friends,
Vance said Musk's role was

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,040
always intended to be temporary,
lasting about six months, but

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,960
stressed that the billionaires
impact won't stop there.

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,400
Of course he's going to continue
to be an advisor, Vance said,

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,720
dismissing media reports of a
rift as fake news.

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,240
Elon is going to remain a friend
and an advisor of both me and

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,960
the president, and he's done a
lot of good things.

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,680
You know how old history look at
Elon Musk?

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,400
Ask yourself that question.
Welcome to another edition of

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,520
America the Day.
Happy Ascension Day for those

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,920
Christians who recognizes the
day that the Holy Spirit makes

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,680
its first appearance.
And so it's it's a good day in

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,160
spirit.
It should be a great day and

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,040
welcome.
We've got a lot to cover this

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,280
hour, a lot of good sound bites.
I encourage you that if you've

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,840
got a great TikTok or if you've
got a great Instagram post, some

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,640
political commentary and
everybody has a phone these days

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,200
and everybody's got something to
say.

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,600
I encourage you to send me a
note voice on thespot@gmail.com.

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,200
That's where you can make your
comments heard.

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,160
Get something voice on
thespot@gmail.com.

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,120
My name is Jim Watkins.
I'm your host.

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,320
And again, you know, how will
history look at Elon Musk making

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,760
the announcement this week that
he is exiting his position at

38
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,240
Doge, which as you just heard,
JD Van said it was never meant

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,960
to be that, that that to me is
the true exhibition of a person

40
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,760
who is not power hungry, someone
who when they say they're going

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,760
to leave, they leave.
Unlike many people, you know,

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,440
George Washington was famous for
that.

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,880
They wanted him to continually
to serve and, and George said,

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,920
no, I, I'm, I don't, it's, it's
time for me to move on.

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,800
And I and I applaud Elon Musk.
I think history will ultimately

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,760
be very kind to him.
What is shattering to me is that

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,440
how easily, and this is a lesson
for all of us to learn when we

48
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,480
engage with legacy media, is how
easily they can turn someone

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,800
into an enemy.
I remember last Christmas, or

50
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,120
maybe it was the Christmas
before, I had given my son a

51
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,680
book on Elon Musk.
It had just been written and it

52
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000
was a best selling book.
And you know, he and my son

53
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,920
actually went out and worked his
ass off and raised enough money

54
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:15,000
and he bought himself a Tesla
and he had a pretty decent job

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,600
and all of that.
And I rode in the Tesla, the

56
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,360
beautiful machine.
I'm not a huge fan of electric

57
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,360
cars simply because the real
truth is that the carbon

58
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,560
footprint to produce an electric
car is much greater than the old

59
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,760
gas guzzler you're you're
driving right now.

60
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:39,280
But the, the Elon Musk was just
a real innovator of the 21st

61
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,800
century, probably one of the
first among many, but certainly

62
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,360
his ideals and his ambitions.
And it's a Great American story

63
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,160
too, because he came from what
probably was a very challenging

64
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,760
ordeal in South Africa, which is
where he was born, did not have

65
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,960
a good relationship with his
dad, which is never a good

66
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,720
thing.
He he goes to Canada and he

67
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,880
decides, you know what?
I don't really like this, this

68
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,200
vibe.
Let me go to where the

69
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,200
entrepreneurials live and
thrive.

70
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,280
And he made his way to the
United States and the rest, as

71
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,600
they say, is history.
And he got the ball rolling on

72
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,320
EVs, which everybody wanted
because, you know, the climate.

73
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,440
I mean, he, he literally kick
started the entire EV movement

74
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,000
showing that it could be
profitable.

75
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
And at first we remember that
his cars were very expensive,

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,680
but he was not given the
subsidies that many of these

77
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,760
other big automakers were given.
And and and basically because

78
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,080
Elon Musk was not a bag carrying
water carrying Democrat for the

79
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,600
progressive left, they disdained
him and they began their

80
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,760
campaign of turning this man
into Emmanuel Goldstein in

81
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,640
reference to the book 1984 and
the two minutes hate always

82
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,480
somebody to focus your energy
on.

83
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,360
That's the that's the that's the
card they play.

84
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,800
They've done it with Trump with
it.

85
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,120
And you say, oh, with Jim, you
know, they're legitimate reasons

86
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,280
to not like somebody.
Yeah.

87
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:12,640
Well, OK, Elon Musk was a union
Buster.

88
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,680
Well, he had his own reasons for
that.

89
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,280
Plus he was in a state with the
highest employee tax in the

90
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:23,160
nation.
And And I think sometimes unions

91
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,520
can be great.
Sometimes unions can be nothing

92
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,560
more than a political lobby
group, which is what they've

93
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,680
become today, especially
organizations like the teachers

94
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,000
union.
They've become a lobbying group

95
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,680
for the Democratic progressive
left.

96
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,040
That's not the intent of unions.
Unions are supposed to protect

97
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,360
workers from being abused.
And they they pay the unions a

98
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,840
little bit out of their paycheck
and they're supposed to get

99
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,600
protected.
Somebody gets fired unfairly,

100
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,440
they can help you.
That's the purpose of a union,

101
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,440
not to get everybody's money and
then turn out turn over and hand

102
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,040
it to the candidate that you
like.

103
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,400
At least that's that's what my
dad explained to me when I was a

104
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,560
young man.
And so he was persona non grata

105
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,000
Elon Musk, and it was a real
tragedy.

106
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,600
So he comes in and wants to hold
the government accountable.

107
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Trump likes him, thinks he.
And and by the way, remember

108
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,800
that Elon Musk was formerly a
member of the Democratic Party.

109
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,320
And so as soon as he stepped
into the ring and started

110
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,080
looking into the matters of the
deep state, and we know now the

111
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,040
corruption was wide and deep and
has been many, many.

112
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,360
It's going to take literally
years.

113
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,920
That's if Congress has the
wherewithal to get it done, to

114
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,680
investigate the abuse of this
government and the abuse of the

115
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:50,640
taxpayers of this country.
It I am ashamed, ashamed at how

116
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,720
much the grift was going on
around me.

117
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,000
I'm only sorry that I didn't
take advantage of it myself.

118
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,440
But as a man of principle, you
know, I didn't.

119
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,400
I assumed that for the most
part, my government was honest,

120
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,440
and now I'm not so sure.
And then yet there another

121
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,480
institution down by the wayside.
It's going to take a long time

122
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,200
before this government, any
government, earns my trust.

123
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,000
Again, trust but verify is my
motto.

124
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,480
So here we have this man who's
holding the government

125
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,400
accountable.
He goes in, tries to identify

126
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,640
waste doge.
He brings his his team of crack

127
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:35,160
computer tech geeks and they
start unearthing so real

128
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,320
tragedies and abuse, financial
abuse, and it still goes on

129
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,880
today.
And what does he get for it?

130
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,320
A bunch of liberal fanatics
keying his car, destroying his

131
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:51,200
cars, making victims of Tesla
drivers and car owners, burning

132
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,800
them, setting them ablaze.
Boy, they really know how to

133
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600
treat a guy, don't they?
And to me, that is the end

134
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,840
result of massive or formation,
mass psychosis or mass psychosis

135
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,880
formation from Mattia's Desmond,
great term.

136
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,880
But in other words, being
brainwashed.

137
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,040
And if you have rage in your
heart against Donald Trump, then

138
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,080
you can identify yourself as
being completely brainwashed.

139
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,840
I am convinced of that because
again, up until he took on the

140
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,280
Democratic Party, which any
rightful citizen should take on

141
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,880
their government and hold them
accountable at all costs.

142
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,760
And we see now how corrupt the
Biden administration was.

143
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,120
No wonder.
And by the way, Elon was not the

144
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,200
only defector of the Democratic
Party.

145
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,880
It continues today.
Hell, half of the people on

146
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,400
Trump's administration are
former Democrats.

147
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,720
Tulsi Gabbard, who else?
So it's a real tragedy.

148
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,920
And I hope that history
remembers the lesson here, which

149
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,240
is how powerful the legacy media
has become.

150
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,840
And as we look at that, I would
encourage you to read a great

151
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,880
article, article by Douglas
Stone in The Federalist today,

152
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,560
which we'll talk about in the
fourth block.

153
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,680
And then we're going to play
some interesting sound bites

154
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:03,760
too.
Alex Thompson on deck to give us

155
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,400
the shit, you know, the skinny
on Biden corruption.

156
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:10,040
And now the big question
everybody's asking today.

157
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,320
Here's the question.
Now that we know that for the

158
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,360
most part, Biden was
incapacitated during his term,

159
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,960
did Hunter Biden figure out a
way to pardon himself?

160
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,440
Think about that for a moment
because according to the new

161
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,400
Jake paper book Original Sin,
Hunter Biden was in on a lot of

162
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,200
meetings right after the debates
when everything fell apart.

163
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,120
And it was at that time that Joe
supposedly reversed his position

164
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,600
and said, I want to pardon my
son because he felt like his son

165
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,040
was being attacked.
But what if it was Hunter Biden

166
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,600
pulling on the strings?
We could talk about that in a

167
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,680
little bit.
Michael Letts is on deck,

168
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,720
followed by Mark Jones from the
Gun Owners of America.

169
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,760
We'll take it to take a look at
some new 2A news.

170
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:55,400
Hang on, don't go anywhere.
This segment of the program is

171
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,480
brought to you by Southwest
Florida dreamhome.com.

172
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:12,480
Let the journey begin.
Well, there's a lot of hubbub

173
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,400
going on on this news circuit.
Dan Bongino making some

174
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,920
appearances and some
announcements, and there's a

175
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,120
whole lot of stuff under the
hood.

176
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,840
And who better to bring in than
Michael?

177
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,480
Let's invest, usa.org founder
and CEO, to talk about some of

178
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,760
what Dan Bongino had to say
today.

179
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,280
What's, I mean, where do we
start?

180
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,120
Do we want to talk about the
Capitol Police?

181
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,480
Do we want to talk about Fauci?
Where do we begin?

182
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,520
Well, let's talk about Capitol
Police because that will lead

183
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,800
into what's going on with the
Bureau, which is part of Fauci

184
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,400
and everything else.
So I think that's a great

185
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,040
starting point.
You know, are the DC Capitol

186
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,840
Police chief who's been there
for ever since the January 6th

187
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,000
and he is retiring today.
His last day is my recollection

188
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:07,680
and he decided to take some
parting shots that people he

189
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,200
doesn't like on the way out the
door.

190
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,400
One of them being President
Trump saying how traumatized he

191
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,960
as a police chief was to learn
that Trump was going to pardon

192
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,160
the J6S.
Never mind the fact that he did

193
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,920
not address the fact that the
Bureau is now releasing those

194
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,600
files to the Government
Oversight Committee, James

195
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,640
Cormor's committee on all the
issues that really happened

196
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,560
January 6th.
The destruction of records by

197
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:40,480
the previous committee that was
chaired by the Democrats and how

198
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,400
they refuse to allow exculpatory
evidence to be heard, refuse to

199
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,120
bring in witnesses that counter
any of their narrative.

200
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,000
All that's fixing to come out.
It's actually already been sent

201
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,320
over the last few days to the
House.

202
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,600
We expect you there.
I'm pressing that I love the

203
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,120
house, I love James, but if we
can't seem to get that into the

204
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,520
publics hand, then we need to go
ahead and release it to the

205
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,760
president and he needs to
release it immediately until all

206
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,480
media outlets, the real files
will really happen.

207
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,600
So you see how they circle
around themselves to begin to

208
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,000
try to press false narratives.
That's all there is to it, quite

209
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,680
frankly.
He reported to the speaker.

210
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,240
He was the one that helped stage
this.

211
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,640
He knew how many federal agents
Bureau, We know that the Bureau

212
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,720
had plenty of agents there among
others and what they had staged

213
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,440
to create a scenario.
I seen you remember that was

214
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,480
their whole purpose.
They wanted to send a message to

215
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,240
America.
You don't trust don't like

216
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,960
conservatives because look at
what they do.

217
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,120
They try to overthrow the
government and trash our Capitol

218
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,760
building.
All a bunch of lies and all all

219
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,120
faults.
But do you see the Bureau is now

220
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:53,080
put together under the new
leadership under cash and damn,

221
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:58,240
they've recovered in all those
files that were being held back

222
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,720
currently.
And you turning those over now

223
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,120
to the house so that we can see
the truth of what really

224
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,120
happened, The investigations
that were squashed, the

225
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,520
information that was not allowed
to come forward, that is

226
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,800
actually documented information
that would have changed totally

227
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,880
the perception of view of what
happened on January 6th.

228
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,160
But that is coming out.
Of course, the inbound, you

229
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,840
know, also know some other
things that you are doing now.

230
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,440
Dan's the deputy director there.
One of the things is that Pouchy

231
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,680
is now under investigation.
Of course, you know, we've

232
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,960
already got James Comedy on an
investigation.

233
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,360
Christopher Ray will be coming
up.

234
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,720
He better make sure that he goes
to buy some extra packs of

235
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,560
toothpaste, I believe.
And quite frankly, there are

236
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:43,200
some other things that are very
interested to all the listeners

237
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,680
that are fixing to occur within
the Bureau.

238
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,640
After some meetings and
discussions there, it's been

239
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,640
decided that we're going to go
back and take a look at all the

240
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,000
cases that were never, quote UN
quote, brought to closure.

241
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,240
And I'm not saying why I say
quote, UN quote.

242
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,240
I'm not saying we didn't have
the closure, didn't have the

243
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,840
answer that was never shared.
What are some cases that you

244
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,080
would recognize?
You remember to ask him the

245
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,280
question What happened to who
brought the cocaine into the

246
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,120
White House?
Yeah, that's.

247
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,160
A Did we ever give you an answer
with that one?

248
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,480
No, but that that case is not
going to be reopened and we can

249
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,600
just go down the list.
Anything in the last four years

250
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,320
that you remember being in the
news but never getting an answer

251
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,600
to?
We're going to go back now and

252
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,400
make sure every case is reopened
and that we provide a definitive

253
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,360
answer as to what happened.
Two of the best of our

254
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,640
knowledge, what we can find,
what we can do, including

255
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,320
records that have been buried.
If they need to be

256
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,320
reinvestigated again, we will do
so.

257
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,440
And quite frankly, here's what I
want to let our listeners know

258
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,600
because I know I'm frustrated.
I know the rest of American

259
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,560
people are.
And when do we see handcuffs?

260
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Just keep this in mind, folks.
You see, there is so much

261
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,320
corruption that's coming about.
It will take some time to work

262
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,800
through all this because it's
not just the investigative part.

263
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,240
It's creating that dossier,
sending it over to the

264
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,960
Department of Justice who has to
concur that they feel like a

265
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,360
crime was committed, and then
convening a federal grand jury,

266
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,200
presenting that to them and
getting them to agree and issue

267
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,480
an indictment before to be sure
that we can move forward.

268
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,720
But I have this commitment.
It will happen on every case we

269
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,320
can get our hands on.
So a lot of people, you think

270
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,640
you had pardons just like with
Senator Warren and not coming

271
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,640
out.
She was involved with the auto

272
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,240
pen as well.
All this stuff that you think

273
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,800
that you got away with because
of the auto pens and because

274
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,200
nobody has questions.
I make sure I have my little

275
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,000
overnight bagpack because you
may be spending some some nights

276
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,360
in some places you don't want to
be because we're going to go

277
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,880
ahead and expose to the American
people.

278
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,000
You know, I'm fascinated by the
Fauci thing.

279
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,480
What is it that the I mean, I
know it my own opinion, but what

280
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,640
is the from the government's
perspective, what crimes did

281
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,240
they think that he committed?
Oh.

282
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,760
My goodness, you got, you got a
couple hours on your show.

283
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,400
Obstruction of justice, perjury
before Congress, buying the

284
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,920
Congress, perjury before
Congress.

285
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,440
This is crimes against humanity.
I mean, quite frankly, when you

286
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,880
know that something you're
proposing has devastating

287
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,440
effects and you weren't the only
one to know, you got to verify

288
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,440
by the pharma companies and you
refuse to to acknowledge that

289
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,240
and you actually put out the
exact opposite.

290
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,800
Now, what were they telling us?
Take this little shot.

291
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,000
You feel prick sting for 10
seconds and then you're

292
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,480
guaranteed you'll never get
sick.

293
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,880
No, no, you're going to be able
to count for all that.

294
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,840
That caused tremendous amount of
deaths.

295
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,520
And gain of function research,
which he was not supposed to be

296
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,440
doing or being involved with.
Correct.

297
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,800
Yeah.
Censorship of ideas.

298
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,800
I mean, the list goes on and on.
And, you know, two years ago,

299
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,320
you could not have said, you
know, guilty of crimes against

300
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,240
humanity without everybody
clutching their pearls.

301
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,720
So we'll see where that leads.
And like you, I want to see

302
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,040
justice.
It's the only way that we can

303
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,520
reconcile what happened to us is
it's no different than being

304
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,760
sexually assaulted and knowing
that your perpetrator is walking

305
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,520
around free.
You can't have closure until you

306
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,960
know that person is paid for
their crime.

307
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,440
And I totally agree.
And what else?

308
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,680
Now we've got Ron, we've got
David Hogg connected with the

309
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Democratic Party, caught
undercover from the Project

310
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,000
Veritas, admitting that Jill
Biden ran the chief of staff of

311
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,040
the White House.
But what's even more

312
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,480
disconcerting is that now there
are rumors that that Hunter

313
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,880
Biden may have had a hand in his
own pardon.

314
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,440
Quite frankly, I don't think
those are rumors.

315
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,000
I think there's no question
about that.

316
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,680
I had it.
I was on the previous show just

317
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,160
a few minutes ago.
The question was that so who's

318
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,800
running the show?
And the response is very simple,

319
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,760
depends on what section you're
talking about.

320
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,680
You're talking about policy
matters.

321
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,160
That would have been Obama and
Clinton.

322
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,520
You're talking about personal
matters.

323
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,320
I need a pardon for myself and
my buddies, Hunter.

324
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:02,960
We're one of the best ones to do
that.

325
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,880
You're talking about matters
that legislative matters.

326
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:10,600
How do we put money into various
Ng OS so that I get a portion of

327
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,600
it?
Senator Warren, I hope you got a

328
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,920
big smile and you know, there's
just then internal day-to-day

329
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,360
operations.
You have all your your assistant

330
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:25,000
chiefs of tabs, your accuses
tab, etcetera, etcetera, that

331
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,400
what do I need?
How much are you willing to give

332
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,200
me for it?
I can make sure I can get a

333
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,840
signature on there.
Is this is the biggest scandal

334
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,120
in American history?
Yes, but everybody Jed their

335
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,160
hands in it.
Quite frankly, it's not just one

336
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,600
person.
Literal den of thieves.

337
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,360
Michael, always pleasure to talk
to you.

338
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:44,800
Of course, you know, you're on
with us Tuesday through Friday

339
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,200
for a segment to and there's so
much listen, you know, it's

340
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,000
striking to me with all these
legacy media outlets, there are

341
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:58,480
so many good breakout stories,
so many potentials for winning

342
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,240
awards, Schuler surprise awards,
you know, for revealing the

343
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,360
truth.
And every single one of them has

344
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:07,480
been bought off by the
Democratic Party so they cannot

345
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,800
do their job.
And, and it is really a sad

346
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,120
state of affairs in a country
that is enshrined in our own

347
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:19,840
constitution, a Free Press.
Well, the way you.

348
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,040
Say that, Jim.
Yeah.

349
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,960
Well, because we're going to
have to go after that next Free

350
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,160
Press.
What does that mean?

351
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,240
It doesn't mean lying to the
American people.

352
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,240
That's the discussion we're
going to have to be having.

353
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,880
I'm going to be coming up with
my own list of questions I would

354
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,960
ask David Muir if he was sitting
in front of Congress.

355
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,400
All right, well, listen, thank
you again, Michael.

356
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,480
Have a good week.
And we'll catch up with you next

357
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,120
Tuesday here on America TODAY.
God bless you, God Bless

358
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:44,520
America, you have a great
weekend.

359
00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:10,350
This segment of the program is
brought to you by Southwest

360
00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:13,430
Florida dreamhome.com.
Let your next journey begin and

361
00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:16,230
consider how it might be to live
in Southwest Florida.

362
00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:20,760
Start with Southwest Florida,
dreamhome.com and on the line

363
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,840
with us is a national director
of the Gun Owners of America.

364
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,480
We've had them on frequently.
Mark is with us today to talk

365
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,440
about pretty important things.
Mark Jones and I and I want to

366
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,160
talk to you about some good
news.

367
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,280
How do you think Congress is
doing right now with, you know,

368
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,800
in comparing the previous
administration in the previous

369
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,720
house?
How do you think they're doing

370
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,920
right now for gun owners?
Well, that's a great question,

371
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,840
Jim.
I know we've talked before about

372
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,200
some of the disappointment we
had with the House Ways and

373
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,280
Means Committee when they
dropped their budget bill a

374
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,760
couple weeks ago.
They left out some provisions to

375
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,440
repeal the National Firearms Act
or reform it, and there was a

376
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,400
firestorm in Washington.
And of course, that's a

377
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,280
Republican control committee.
We expect better than we had

378
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,600
under under the Democrats when
they control Congress and they

379
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,040
set off a firestorm in Congress
and we actually got some

380
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:21,160
provisions put back in Trump's
big, beautiful bill to take some

381
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,000
things out of the National
Firearms Act.

382
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,840
We didn't get as much as we
wanted, but there's a big effort

383
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,640
going on in the Senate right now
and a lot of Republican senators

384
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,680
are working with us.
And essentially, I think we're

385
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,000
going to have an opportunity to
reform many aspects of the

386
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,840
National Firearms Act, which is
the 91 year old antiquated

387
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,720
unconstitutional law.
So I think it's better.

388
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,600
It's certainly better than it
was under the Democrats.

389
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,720
Didn't start off as good as it
should have a few weeks ago with

390
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,960
these Republican leaders, but
there are a lot of good members

391
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,320
in the Republican members who've
been fighting hard.

392
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,320
So certainly in a better
position than we were a year or

393
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,880
two ago, Jim.
One good example is the silencer

394
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:10,640
tax is now dead well.
It was repealed in the House, in

395
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,040
the House's budget, and that is
great.

396
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,560
But now nothing has passed final
finally, you know that all that

397
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,000
goes to the Senate.
There's a fight there.

398
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,400
That's where we want additional
things added, like reform to the

399
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,160
laws around short barrel
weapons.

400
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,200
And we want some language in
there that makes it harder for

401
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:36,080
future presidents to misuse some
of the the federal laws.

402
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,800
So there's still a lot of work
to be done.

403
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,000
But you're right, the House did
pass a version that would repeal

404
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,440
or remove silencers from the
National Firearms Act.

405
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,840
We also have the CHPA, which is
the Constitutional Hearing

406
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,520
Protections Act.
The House has dropped a

407
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,560
legislative bombshell, an absurd
$200 tax and mandatory

408
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,760
registration for firearm
suppressors.

409
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,800
Has that's gone away?
Well, it has, that is the same

410
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,440
thing we're talking about the
hearing protection bill.

411
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,960
The, the essentially what that
is, you know, the National

412
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,760
Firearms Act as as was
established in 1934 and people's

413
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,760
rights to access suppressors
have been restricted.

414
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,520
You have to go through this
long, arduous federal paperwork

415
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,320
process, pay a $200 tax fee on
top of the cost of the of the

416
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,760
item.
And you have for 91 years.

417
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,960
And the House's version repeals
that.

418
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,200
Now we've got to get that
through the Senate, as I said.

419
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,640
And we've also got to add some
more repeal provisions that need

420
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,640
to happen with the National
Firearms Act.

421
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,040
But, but we're moving in the
right direction, Jim.

422
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,000
That's the good news.
But these things in Congress

423
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,480
move slow, and they've got to,
you know, the fight's far from

424
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,880
over.
Yeah, it does seem some

425
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,520
sometimes that things are always
at a crawl when you look about

426
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,280
this.
So you guys are endorsing Ken

427
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,400
Paxton.
I see.

428
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,040
Tell us about that.
We've got stations in Texas, so

429
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,600
we want to get your thoughts on
Ken.

430
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,280
Tell us why you guys are
supporting.

431
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,160
Him well, you know, as the
attorney general of Texas,

432
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,880
Paxton has always been one of
the first attorney general in

433
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,440
the United States to stand up
for the constitutional rights of

434
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,600
the citizens of Texas.
I mean, I know you, a lot of

435
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,880
your listeners and you, Jim,
will know that through time.

436
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,920
We when we've had Obama, when
we've had Biden, we've had

437
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,400
lawsuits against, against the
federal government by the red

438
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,520
states.
Usually there's 26 AGS will

439
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,440
attorney general will join those
lawsuits most of the time.

440
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,680
And Paxton is usually leading
the pack.

441
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,080
If it's not Paxton, it's maybe
the attorney general from

442
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,000
Missouri.
But there's a handful of

443
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,120
attorney generals in this
country that are always leading

444
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:51,800
the pack to protect the
constitutional rights of their

445
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,480
citizens and factions, always
right there at the forefront.

446
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,040
So I think that's one of the
reasons we're so excited about

447
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,040
him is he has a track record as
a as attorney general of Texas

448
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,040
of fighting for the
constitutional rights of Texans

449
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,640
and of leading other states in
in fights against federal

450
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,920
overreach.
So I think we we, we think Ken

451
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,640
Paxton would make a great US
senator and and that's why we're

452
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,080
supporting him so early in that
race in Texas.

453
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:17,480
Yeah.
He.

454
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,560
Gets an A+ rating from you guys.
That's good.

455
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,040
That's good for the state of
Texas.

456
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,480
Let's hope it it's successful.
You've got a conference coming

457
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,600
up.
Tell us what the center of

458
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,960
attention will be.
Tell us about your upcoming

459
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,160
conference.
So we, this is our second annual

460
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,800
Gun Owners Leadership Summit.
Think of it like an annual

461
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,000
conference or convention.
We had our first one last year

462
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,480
in Knoxville, TN.
We'll have our second one in the

463
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,760
same location this year.
You know, last year we had great

464
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,160
speakers like Cash Patel, who's
obviously now someone that

465
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,800
everybody knows about and is
wrong with the FBI, but he was

466
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,520
one of our speakers last year.
We we have, we'll have great

467
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,200
speakers this year too, Jim.
We'll have a lot of the history

468
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,560
will be there with firearms and
firearms related items and

469
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,960
paraphernalia.
We'll have breakout sessions.

470
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,000
It's free to gun owners of
American members.

471
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:15,080
And so we encourage people to
kind of put that on their radar

472
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,920
screen and, and get out and come
and support that.

473
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,200
This year in Knoxville, it's the
weekend of August 8th, you know,

474
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,720
the second weekend in August.
It should be a great event.

475
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,200
We have 10s of thousands of
people show up for this.

476
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,520
Now for those who are gun owners
and they're not signed up with

477
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,280
the Gun owners of America, a
good way to do that is just go G

478
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,120
oa.org and you can find out more
about this organization.

479
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:42,360
They are there to help you.
Are you feeling confident now?

480
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:45,440
We're what, 5 months into this
administration, Cash Patel, Dan

481
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,320
Bongino, they're out.
Do you think they brought some

482
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,560
amount of equilibrium back to
the what I thought was the

483
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,160
overreaching ATF?
And do you feel more confident

484
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,400
now that the FBI has been
depoliticized, or do you still

485
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,400
think there's a lot of work?
I definitely think that these

486
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,480
new Trump appointees have made
progress.

487
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,800
I mean, ATF repealed its zero
tolerance policy, which was

488
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,800
shutting down people who sell
guns for clerical errors,

489
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,040
ridiculous clerical errors.
They, they're moving in the

490
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,360
right direction.
Obviously with Cash Patel and

491
00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:22,600
the FBI, all these things have
gotten better.

492
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,840
They're trying to de weaponize
these agencies that have been

493
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,880
working against people's rights.
But there's, you know, these

494
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,880
bureaucracies are so big,
there's so many employees, so

495
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,840
many rules that, that it can't
happen overnight.

496
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,320
So we, we, we encourage these,
these good people that Trump's

497
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,040
put in there to keep fighting
and keep working and the

498
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,600
American people to support them.
And Congress needs to support

499
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,200
them with appropriate funding
and legislation.

500
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,000
So definitely moving in the
right direction, Jim.

501
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,200
But there's still a lot of work
to be done.

502
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,880
These are these agencies are
behemoths and it took them

503
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,480
decades to get in the sad shape
they were in.

504
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,680
So it's going to take a long
time to reform them.

505
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,240
I think a good, healthy first
step, I guess they're not moving

506
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,360
out of Washington after all.
They're just going to get rid of

507
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:08,640
the J Edgar Hoover building,
which is a real shame because I

508
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,040
thought there was a sense of
wisdom to putting these agents,

509
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,560
field agents, out into the
communities.

510
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,160
It makes them closer to home and
makes them more accountable.

511
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,960
Sometimes when you have that
decentralization, that is not

512
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,640
good because then law
enforcement becomes its own

513
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,080
worst enemy, which we've seen,
certainly, and that's about it.

514
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,960
I really appreciate you, Mark
Jones, again, Gun Owners of

515
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,240
America.
He is the national director.

516
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,880
And if you want to get involved
and have the support of other

517
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,320
gun owners and enthusiasts,
great place to go.

518
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,320
G oa.org.
And we'll catch up with you

519
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,640
again real soon, Mark.
Jim, thank you for having me on

520
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,120
the show.
Glad to come back anytime.

521
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,760
Always, always a welcome guest,
Mark Jones here on America

522
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,040
Today.
You know, the danger always.

523
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,800
And I've seen this happen
whether it's in Oregon or, or

524
00:28:54,840 --> 00:29:01,320
whether it's in Washington,
whether it's in Montana, in

525
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:06,920
Wyoming, Idaho, Texas, even in
Florida, which was starting to

526
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,680
see which is a real is when you
have these small clusters of

527
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,960
progressive liberals who move
into these, these states that

528
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,040
usually the capital or wherever
the universities are.

529
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,880
And then they they infiltrate
and start to bring their

530
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,440
progressive liberal lefty ideas
to these otherwise conservative

531
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,080
states, even to the point where
you have places like Oregon

532
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,760
where they want to break off
from Portland and become part of

533
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,560
Idaho.
But now Idaho has the same

534
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,040
problem.
So to me, the, the, the, the

535
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,840
biggest enemy is the political
left who are taking over these

536
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,680
small clusters of cities in
otherwise conservative states.

537
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,280
So we'll continue to stay on
that.

538
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,760
Again, always good to have Mark
Jones.

539
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,320
And if you're a gun gun owner,
you know how important it is to

540
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,720
stay on top of these things.
And this is America today.

541
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:11,440
Jim Watkins.
Hey, this segment of America

542
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,480
Today with Jim Watkins is
brought to you by Southwest

543
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,320
Florida dreamhome.com.
It's a place where you could

544
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,720
take a look at Florida real
estate right now on the West

545
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:25,000
side from Sarasota to Naples,
take a look at the fine array of

546
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,320
new homes that are on the
market.

547
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,000
The featured home this week is a
beautiful 2 story, 3 bedroom, 3

548
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,680
bath beautiful home on Matt
Lachey Isles.

549
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,160
Look it up.
It's a beautiful place.

550
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,240
It's not.
You don't have to travel to the

551
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,720
tip of Florida to get that Key
West feeling.

552
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,080
And it's a canal home and it
gives you 3 minutes away from

553
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,320
being out fishing on the Gulf of
Mexico.

554
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,800
You.
Yeah, I can't even imagine that.

555
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,520
But you can go to Southwest
Florida, dreamhome.com.

556
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,680
Southwest Florida dreamhome.com.
Welcome back.

557
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:04,720
Do you know that Caitlin Clark,
Caitlin Clark could be worth $2

558
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,680
billion?
Some are saying that Caitlin

559
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:14,000
Clark of the now fever, the
Indiana Fever, she is single

560
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:20,040
handedly creating the juggernaut
known as the WNBA and also the

561
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,040
controversy surrounding her as
well.

562
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,240
She gets into these what are
essentially catfights with other

563
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,760
NBA players and it's quite
entertaining.

564
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,840
I mean, you know, these these
gals.

565
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,240
Let's see if I have this one.
You want to know where all the

566
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,200
testosterone is going?
It's going to the women.

567
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,280
The women are.
I can't even play the clip

568
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,160
because I, I think I have to
edit some of the, there's too

569
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,600
much profanity and it's not very
womanly either.

570
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,680
I would, I would have to, I
would have to say that it's not

571
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,480
very womanly.
Some of what they say, oh, I

572
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,880
can't.
Oh, here it is from the action.

573
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,480
OK, let's look in here if we can
find it.

574
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,320
I think I have it.
But Caitlin Clark is worth 2

575
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,600
million, $2 billion right now in
revenue for the NBA.

576
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,400
Not only that, but she is almost
the entire reason why people are

577
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:18,840
even watching the NBA, because
it's fun to watch and she is

578
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,440
such a spectacular player.
It's you're, you're talking

579
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:27,120
about somebody who is as good if
not better than what they're

580
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:32,440
saying with Jordan, Michael
Jordan and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

581
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,880
I mean, if she was playing on
the level with the men, she

582
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,040
would be the absolute best
player in the NBA.

583
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,920
And she's rambunctious.
She's got a lot of spunk.

584
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,440
He's got a lot of attitude.
And frankly, I, I, I'm not sure

585
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,840
if it's a great again, because
I'm more of a traditionalist,

586
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,960
but I'm not sure if it's a good
thing to watch women acting like

587
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,000
men, you know?
And OK, I do have it here.

588
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,920
Let's, let's see if we can get
this going.

589
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,760
I can't play it because it's got
the F word.

590
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,160
Maybe I can do something about
it.

591
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,240
Hang on. 1st overall in WNBA
history and let's be real, it's

592
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,680
good for the game.
Because the truth is that people

593
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,760
only watch women's sports to see
attractive ladies get sweaty.

594
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,800
Now the feminists will hate on
me for saying the truth, but I

595
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,720
mean, we can't even dunk or
anything and we got to give them

596
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,000
something to actually watch.
Looks wise, nobody even comes

597
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,200
close to me.
Not that plain Jane Caitlin

598
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,240
Clark or that pale tomboy
Sabrina UNESCU.

599
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,520
Major Yuck.
Not a single guy in this world

600
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,120
is going to crank one out while
thinking about any of these

601
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,760
fugly hoopers, so that's
probably why they all can date

602
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,680
each other.
Man, it's that's Paige Bucher.

603
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,800
She's also a very good player
too.

604
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,960
And so what's happening now is
you've got these NBAI don't

605
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,440
know, hot players that are
really starting to grab the

606
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,560
attention and it's invigorating
the sport and good for her and

607
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,320
good for the WNBA.
That's the kind of character, I

608
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,280
think, that draws people out.
And you don't hear that honesty.

609
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,920
And that's the other thing.
People are starving for real

610
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,680
conversation without worrying
about, you know, getting

611
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,040
chastised or cancelled.
And these people, you know, but

612
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,120
they have sucked up all the
testosterone in the room.

613
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,000
There's no question about that.
I want to play this clip.

614
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,480
And again, if you've got a
favorite clip or link, send it

615
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,719
to me voice on thespot@gmail.com
and I'll, I'll put it on.

616
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:25,560
There's two things that are on
my mind right now #1 is when

617
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,080
they're going to start locking
up people for COVID, What

618
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:34,159
happened during COVID, It is
probably the most lethal crime

619
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,840
in global history.
And certainly in.

620
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,320
And if that subject is is
important to you, whether

621
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,920
because you know, somebody who
died from COVID-19 or somebody

622
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,159
who was injured from a vaccine,
then this is the program.

623
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:50,880
Nobody else is going to have the
courage to talk about it until

624
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,960
it becomes popular, but I've
been in on it since the very

625
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,920
beginning.
I've been monitoring it since,

626
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,400
you know, the very beginning.
I documented all of the daily

627
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,920
reports for years.
We did this and it's still up.

628
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,400
If you want to go back and see
what life was like in April of

629
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,400
2020, you've got the coronavirus
update.

630
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,080
And I'm going to stay on this
until people start getting

631
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,000
locked away.
We can never do this again.

632
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:20,760
I don't think people even
realize how bad it is and what

633
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,440
must be done to make sure that
our governments of any country

634
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,200
can never do what they pulled on
us.

635
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,560
It is.
It is a crime beyond imagination

636
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,480
that will stay on my mind.
Another thing that we'll always

637
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,440
talk about here on the program
is the climate change hoax.

638
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,760
It is a hoax.
Here's a gentleman from the

639
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,640
Liberty Foundation media, Alex
Newman, an award-winning

640
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,520
journalist.
Listen very carefully to what he

641
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,920
says about this whole climate
hoax.

642
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,720
Take a listen.
Environmental question depends

643
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:54,920
on, I think, a very flawed
fundamental presupposition.

644
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,920
It depends on the idea that
carbon dioxide is pollution.

645
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,600
And I would argue that after
interviewing hundreds of

646
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,280
scientists, including many
who've worked for the UNIPCC,

647
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,520
many of the leading scientists
in the world, that the notion

648
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,920
that CO2 is pollution is
absolutely preposterous.

649
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,000
We exhale about 2 lbs of it
every single day.

650
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,680
The the proportion of green
house gas is made-up of human

651
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,800
CO2 emissions is a fraction of a
fraction of 1%.

652
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,440
The idea that that is going to
destroy the planet or change the

653
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,040
temperature of the earth is
frankly, in my opinion, totally

654
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,960
ludicrous.
But from a totalitarian

655
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,520
perspective, if you can convince
people that CO2 is pollution,

656
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,120
there's no human activity that
doesn't result in CO2 emissions,

657
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,240
including living, including
dying, turning on a light

658
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:36,320
switch, every single aspect of
your life.

659
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,280
Then if we submit to the idea
that CO2 is pollution, then

660
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,880
comes under the regulatory
control of the people who claim

661
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,200
to be saving us from pollution.
So when they do these

662
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,240
environmental studies and they
say, well, your CO2 footprint

663
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:50,000
will be smaller if you eat bugs
or you do this Saturday, you

664
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,040
drive an electric car, that
doesn't show anything about

665
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,680
whether that's going to benefit
the environment or not.

666
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,640
In fact, CO2 has actually been
very beneficial for the

667
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,360
environment.
In interviewing, you know,

668
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,640
Trump's climate advisor, Doctor
William Happer, a physics

669
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,080
professor at Princeton
University, he said the Earth is

670
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,200
starving for more CO2.
And since we've had a little bit

671
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,840
of an increase in atmospheric
CO2 over the last 100 years or

672
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,560
so, plants have gotten much
greener.

673
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,280
Agricultural yields have
improved.

674
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,200
So I think we need to also talk
about the fundamental

675
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,880
presupposition here.
Is CO2 really pollution?

676
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,960
If it's not, then all these
alleged environmental benefits

677
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,440
are completely fictional.
And the most important thing

678
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,400
that Alex Newman said there is
if we can convince people that

679
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,320
carbon is dangerous, then
everything becomes under their

680
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,240
regulatory control.
And that's exactly what this is

681
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:38,200
all about.
Do you know the wind turbines

682
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,200
that they've been building all
around the world, they're

683
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,160
becoming useless.
There's two major producers, the

684
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,280
people that go out and put these
things up, and both of them are

685
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,160
bailing.
The subsidies are ending.

686
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,880
They don't.
They're not sustainable.

687
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,200
They're falling apart.
And I'm telling you, our

688
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,200
generations from now, because
nobody's ever going to pull all

689
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,760
of these windmills down the ones
that line the North Carolina

690
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,480
coast or up along the Eastern
seaboard or in the Northern Sea

691
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,680
or the Black Sea or wherever
they're at on the hills of

692
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,760
Hawaii.
You see, these weren't wind

693
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,560
turbines.
They are going to be a living

694
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,000
testament in the generations to
come of just how stupid we were

695
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:21,200
and how easily fooled we were as
a as a species by a bunch of

696
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,960
greedy son of a bitches headed
by Al Gore, hockey stick Al

697
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,800
Gore.
All right, so that's something

698
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,040
that we will always stay on top
of here on this program.

699
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,600
Also, AI is really big.
I think it's probably the

700
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,040
biggest topic right now.
Futurist, what's her name?

701
00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:43,440
Sinead Boy Bovell, who is the
president of way futurist

702
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,320
organization that looks at the
future and cultural trends.

703
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,280
Do we have time?
Let me play this.

704
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,320
I'd say the final thing that
we're going to have to watch out

705
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,680
for, and we saw this with social
media after the fact, is the

706
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,840
relationships kids are going to
build with these systems.

707
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:04,400
We are now giving kids access to
an infinite, never ending

708
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,600
opportunity to engage with an
imaginary friend.

709
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,800
Something that is always on can
answer all of their questions.

710
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,800
That is a recipe for a new type
of addiction and we have to

711
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,200
really be looking out for this.
We kind of missed the boat on

712
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,160
smartphones and now we're all
trying to get get them back out

713
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,560
of the classrooms.
We can see this line of sight

714
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,240
directly with AI systems and
chat bots.

715
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,400
And this isn't of course, all on
educators.

716
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,360
This has to come to, you know,
tech companies, how we design

717
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,000
these systems, age gating them,
but something to look out for.

718
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,080
Total, 100% agree.
And that's why we talk about it

719
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,200
right here on America Today.
