00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,799

hit subscribe, watch all right, share with all of your

4
00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:14,679
friends and comment simply because we're living in a time

5
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:18,280
of chaos, and it doesn't stop at night, it doesn't

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,359
stop in the morning. It's all twenty four to seven.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,039
Let's talk about last night. After an eventful weekend, Trump

8
00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:31,359
decided to speak to reporters outside of joint based Andrews

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,840
and after starting the trade war, he admitted. Trump actually

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,479
admitted that Americans are going to feel a bit of

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,640
short term pain. Now. Remember one of the things he

12
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:46,600
had said during the campaign is that he was going

13
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:51,960
to make America so financially strong and so financially independent

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,320
that we're not going to need anything and you're not

15
00:00:54,359 --> 00:00:57,039
even going to have to file taxes because there's going

16
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:00,679
to be so much money pouring in the clip.

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,519
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not gonna sent.

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 3: We may have short term, some little pain, and people

19
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:13,239
understand that, but long term, the United States has been

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,719
ripped off by virtually every country in the world. We

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,159
have deficits with almost every country, not every country, but

22
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:22,480
almost and We're gonna change it.

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: It's been unfair.

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: That's why we owe thirty six trillion dollars. We have

25
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:28,200
deficits with everybody.

26
00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:29,239
Speaker 2: We help everybody.

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,239
Speaker 3: We've been helping everybody for years, and to be honest,

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,640
I don't think they appreciate it.

29
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: So we're gonna change that. We're gonna change it fast.

30
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:39,159
We're gonna make America great again. We have to focus

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,000
on our country.

32
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: We have tremendous potential if properly used, and we have

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,159
to focus on our country. Tremendous deficits with China, tremendous

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,519
deficits with the European Union, tremendous deficits with Mexico and Canada.

35
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: And okay, let me be very clear. When he makes

36
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:03,640
the aster a license statements about oh, you know, we'll understand,

37
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,760
people won't understand. You know, like the folks out there

38
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:11,439
on the days during the inauguration, most people are living

39
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,120
paycheck to paycheck. So more pain just means less food.

40
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,599
It means less ability to put gasoline in your car.

41
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:22,479
And those were the two things that Donald Trump managed

42
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,680
to secure a presidential win on gasoline and groceries. So

43
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:30,960
who's he speaking for? Yeah, elon Musk doesn't give a

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
shit if the price goes up. Neither does Zuckerberg or

45
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,280
any of the other make a billionaires that was sitting there,

46
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,159
Jeff dizos, they don't care if the price of your

47
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:43,560
eggs goes up by another fifty cents an egg. They

48
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,360
don't care. But he talks about the silent majority, about

49
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,560
how the American people will understand. No, they won't, and

50
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:55,199
this is the time that we all need as a

51
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,800
community to get together and hold him accountable for his

52
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:01,199
campaign promises.

53
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: Well.

54
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:06,199
Speaker 1: Trump also spoke about the UK as well as the EU.

55
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,319
Play the clip.

56
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: So the UK is way out of line, and we'll

57
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:14,960
say the UK, but European Union is really out of line.

58
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: The UK is out of line, but I'm sure that one.

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,520
I think that one can be worked out.

60
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,039
Speaker 3: But the European Union is it's an acrossity what they've done.

61
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:32,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, I'm not even sure what he's truly talking

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,080
about that he's gonna get everybody else? Is he planning

63
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:41,560
on using military might of the United States within which

64
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:48,280
to force everyone to capitulate to something that most people

65
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,800
aren't even familiar as to what he's even talking about.

66
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:57,479
Then he specifically calls out the UK Prime Minister Starmer.

67
00:03:57,879 --> 00:03:59,919
I don't get this one. Play the clip.

68
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: What they've done the relations in the meaning well, Prime

69
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,919
ministerist arm has been very nice.

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,919
Speaker 3: We've had a couple of meetings, We've had.

71
00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:10,039
Speaker 2: Numerous phone calls.

72
00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: We're getting along very well, and we'll see whether or

73
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,280
not we can balance out of our budget with the

74
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,399
European Union.

75
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: It's a three.

76
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: Hundred and fifty billion dollar deficit, so obviously something's going.

77
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:23,639
Speaker 2: To take place there.

78
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: Again, there's so much generalities that are being thrown out there.

79
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,639
He's speaking to him with friends, but I'm not sure

80
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,839
we're gonna see what's gonna happen. Yeah, this is all great.

81
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:36,680
You know what this does. This gives you and me

82
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,920
and everybody else that's watching this anxiety. Anxiety. How about

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,560
put out a policy so that we understand what the

84
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,959
hell is going on? That's the goal, that's the job

85
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,319
of the president. Trumpthing goes ahead and he starts talking

86
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,759
about South Africa. Play that clip.

87
00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:57,399
Speaker 2: So you said that you were going to cut it

88
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:02,160
from South Africa. What you plan to eight other African nations?

89
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,160
And why only South Africa?

90
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: Terrible things are happening in South Africa.

91
00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:13,199
Speaker 2: The leadership is doing some terrible things. It's horrible things.

92
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:17,879
So that's under investigation. Right now, we'll make a determination.

93
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: And until such time as we find out what South

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,279
Africa is doing. They're taking away land, they're confiscating land,

95
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,319
and actually they're doing things that are perhaps far worse

96
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:28,600
than that.

97
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:34,639
Speaker 1: And on the back again, if coming after that specific statement,

98
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,600
you have any idea what's actually really going on, it's

99
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,639
under investigation. We already know, but we're looking into it.

100
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:47,879
It's being investigated. This is what we're hearing. Well, just

101
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:52,759
because you hear something, also known as a rumor, doesn't

102
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:56,519
make it factually accurate. And then Trump goes on he's

103
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,600
asked about USAID, the United States Agents for International Development

104
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:07,959
as Elon Musk and Trump turn around and say that

105
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,879
they're shutting it down. Understand, US eight has been around

106
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,720
a long time. Again, it's the United States Agency for

107
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:21,839
International Development. And it is important not to Elon Musk,

108
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:27,639
not to Trump, they're shutting it down. Play that clip.

109
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:29,639
Speaker 2: Here, what's going on?

110
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: Well, it's been run by a bunch of radical lunatics,

111
00:06:34,399 --> 00:06:40,000
and we're getting them out. Us AID run by radical lunatics,

112
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,360
and we're getting them out, and then we'll make a decision.

113
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:50,519
Speaker 1: Radical lunatics. And once again, wouldn't it be nice if

114
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,720
we had half a clue who he's talking about. By

115
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,600
the way, I don't want radical lunatics running international development either,

116
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,560
I'm sure you don't. How about turning on and talk

117
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,560
about who are the radical lunatics? Everything is so general,

118
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,079
every statement is so general, you become more confused, which

119
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,519
is why everybody is tied. They're tied to whether it's

120
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,360
their news channel, their favorite news channel, or the newspapers

121
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:25,319
or whatever form that you get your information from, and

122
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,560
you can't stop looking at it because every second something

123
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:32,439
new and something more insane is popping up. I mean,

124
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,120
of course Trump then has to bring up let's talk

125
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,519
about another crazy thing, the Panama Canal. Play the clip.

126
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: They violated the agreement. They're not allowed to violate the agreement.

127
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:46,319
Speaker 3: China's running the Panama Canal.

128
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 4: I was not given to China. That was given to

129
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:54,240
Panama woolishly. But they violated the agreement, and we're gonna

130
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,839
take it back or something very powerful is going.

131
00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: To happen again. They violated the agreement. Now he's saying

132
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,040
China is running the Panama Canal. I don't know the folks.

133
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,439
The president of Panama turned around and said, it's not true.

134
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,240
So what is the violation? By the way, if China

135
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,040
is running the Panama Canal, Yeah, you go, Donald, I'm

136
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:21,319
fucking right behind you, and so probably all of you.

137
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,800
If China is controlling the Panama Canal that we built

138
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,240
and gave to Panama as part of an agreement, absolutely,

139
00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:35,799
but how about enlighten us share with us. But we're

140
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,320
not gonna get that. We're just gonna get generalities and

141
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:42,720
something even worse is gonna happen. Okay. Trump's then asked

142
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,039
if Elon musk is doing a good job two weeks in,

143
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:50,519
is Elon doing a good job? Play the clip?

144
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: You feel that Elon Kond is delivering on his promise?

145
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: Here?

146
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: You feel doing a good job right now? I do.

147
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:02,039
Speaker 3: I think Elon's doing a good He's a big cost cutter.

148
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,600
Sometimes we won't agree with it, it will not go

149
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,960
where he wants to go. But I think he's doing

150
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
a great job. He's a smart guy, very smart, and

151
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,000
he's very much in there cutting our the budget of

152
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,039
our federal government.

153
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:20,799
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting with each Trump administration there is

154
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:27,639
someone that insiders, initially like myself, used to call the

155
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,960
Secretary of Everything. During the first administration, it was Jared Kushner,

156
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,440
and we all saw and we see every day how

157
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,840
he has he himself has benefited substantially financially from being

158
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,000
Secretary of Everything. Well, today twenty twenty five, you know

159
00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:52,240
who the new Secretary of Everything is, Elon Musk. All right,

160
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,159
And in regards to Elon Musk, I want to show

161
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,440
you by the way he's pulled down. As of today,

162
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:05,440
February second, Elon Musk has pulled down over what three

163
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:12,080
hundred billion and maybe even more. But I want to

164
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,759
show you an article about Elon gaining even more access

165
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,840
to our government. And again it's very similar to what

166
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:25,399
happened with Kushner. None of them have clearance. So what

167
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,679
does the president do. He gives them the clearance and

168
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,679
they take over more and more of our government. Here's

169
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,759
what it says. The first one says, Treasury Department gives

170
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:42,600
Elon Musk's team access to federal payment system. Payment system

171
00:10:42,639 --> 00:10:46,879
is essentially a checkbook for the federal government. I mean,

172
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:53,600
are you fucking kidding me? Seriously? Department has given Elon

173
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,600
Muskin representatives of his Department of Government Efficiency doge the

174
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,240
team access to the vast federal payment system, responsible for

175
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,639
handling trillions of dollars in government expenditures. And that's according

176
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:13,559
to multiple sources, payment system, which is essentially a checkbook

177
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,879
for the entire federal government, is a closely held operation

178
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:21,759
run by career officials, with a limited number of people

179
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:27,120
authorized to access the information, given it containing sensitive information

180
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,440
about hundreds of millions of Americans. It's basically all Americans.

181
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:35,440
I mean, there's only three hundred and sixty million of us,

182
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,200
and some of them are children. The demand for access

183
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,440
to the payment system reportedly caused such a rift inside

184
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,559
the Treasury Department that the career official who previously oversaw it,

185
00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:53,879
David Lebrick, was placed on administrative leave last week after

186
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,240
he resisted granting Musk in his Government Efficiency Team access

187
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,759
to the database. My friends, it's time for us to

188
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:06,000
wake the fuck up. All right, let me say it again,

189
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,000
Wake the fuck up, because you're talking about the richest

190
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,240
guy in the world who now has complete and total,

191
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,159
unlimited power, as Kushner did the first time around. And

192
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,519
Kushner's not nearly as devious or nearly as smart as

193
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,320
Elon Musk is. They are operating on Project twenty twenty

194
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:33,720
five ideology. That's what they're operating on, in order to

195
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,639
destroy our democratic republic. Since when does one guy with

196
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,080
government efficiency and his team now have access to all

197
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,360
of your information, to everyone's information through the checkbook of

198
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:55,000
the United States of America. Seriously, it's why this community

199
00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:00,679
