Radio Show Hour 2 – 01/24/2025

[00:00:12] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West. You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show. Back with you live, ladies and gentlemen. A lot of what Donald Trump is doing is phenomenal stuff. Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans. I'm Sam Bushman, Dr. Scott Bradley. With me riding shotgun on the broadcast today. This is the broadcast for January 24th in the year of our Lord, 2025.

[00:00:40] Promoting God, family, country, protecting life, liberty, and property, using the checks and balances, and backing the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the United States of America, Liberty Roundtable Live. Folks, it is a freedom-loving, fantastic, faith-filled Friday, I might add. Dr. Bradley's with me. Last hour we had kind of a meandering conversation, but all about this idea that Donald Trump in many ways is doing a great job. But I believe there's an undertow of serious, serious concern.

[00:01:09] And I don't know why, but I just cannot shake that feeling. Trump says America will soon be a manufacturing superpower and the world capital for AI and crypto. But folks, listen carefully. The new order of business for Congress, their first order of business, is defend, protect Israel. Chuck Baldwin wrote the piece.

[00:01:35] And it seems that among the first orders of business at the beginning of each session of Congress is to pass legislation protecting, promoting, and pandering to Israel. And it doesn't seem to matter. One iota, which party is in Congress? Will it happen once again, he writes. He's right as rain. But that's a bridge to this next interesting point.

[00:02:01] Judge Napolitano spoke out along those same lines of concern and says this, quote, To a man, Trump's senior executive leadership team, or picks, if you will, 60% Jewish, 100% Zionist. Trump is being true to his campaign to make Israel great again, says Judge Napolitano.

[00:02:30] Dr. Bradley, let's finish this topic with that, though. Hey, you know what? I'm not for backing Israel. I'm not for the government making the United States the, quote, superpower of crypto and AI and great expense and taxpayer dollars. And all I can tell you is it sounds good on the surface if you just hear the sound bites. When you dig in, it goes south fast. Dr. Bradley, your comments.

[00:02:56] And then I got a next story in an executive order Trump just pushed out to hammer home the point, sir. You know, it's interesting that Trump and everybody else that's just been installed in the new Congress and everything just recently took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. And Trump said specifically he'd do the best of his ability.

[00:03:21] Well, I would say that there's a very strong case that can be made that said that this idea of turning your viewpoints outward into the globalist society, this support of other countries, whether it's military support or whether you're creating First Amendment violations that say if you want to speak political speech,

[00:03:48] but you can't because it's anti-Semitic is how these things are coming out. I mean, they're putting bills through Congress that says, well, if you speak against Israel, you're anti-Semitic. Am I anti-Semitic for calling them on the carpet on this? I don't think so. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. People from the Middle Eastern area. You know, there was this guy named Shem that was the son of Noah, and so his people were Shemitic.

[00:04:17] You're talking Ham, Shem, and Japheth, right? Right. And so Shemitic, Shem, his people, according to the Genesis, settled in this area that we call the Middle East, the Promised Land, Palestine, whatever you want to call it. But the fact of the matter is, and so the people that are descendants of Shem are Shemitic. And so if you speak against Palestinians, let's take that derivation that they've got now,

[00:04:45] the indigenous people that lived in the land of Palestine for millennia. If you speak against them, you're anti-Semitic. I mean, the case could be made for that, and people don't understand that being anti-Semitic, I mean, nowadays it's like, oh, you're opposed to Jews. No, you're not. Let's stop this nonsense and go back to the original, you know, the etymology of all this kind of stuff and understand that we're all God's children, number one.

[00:05:15] And you say, oh, no, the Jews are God's promised people. Well, you could say that about Jacob's children, who there were 12 tribes, and it's just not Jews. You could say it about Abraham's people. In fact, the size of the year 10th, Judah was one of the 12. You're right. They're one of the 12 sons of Jacob who became Israel, okay? But you look at Abraham's people, you look at Shem's people, you look at, I mean, even Abraham had descendants,

[00:05:44] apparently, I think the 21st chapter of Genesis sticks my mind, this guy named, you know, that he had with Hagar. Anyway, okay, so all of this kind of stuff is, we set our corporate policy for the whole nation based upon a spin. And the Schofield Bible study guide that came out at the beginning of the 20th century, I don't know, it was 1907 or something like that.

[00:06:11] Anyway, a lot of people have taken that study guide with the Zion. It has a Zionist, like this thing about the Jewish aristocracy almost, that it promotes, and of course the Balfour Decree that came out in 1917, and the mandate, you know, that was done by the United Nations, and what brought the modern state of Israel into existence

[00:06:40] at the expense of the other indigenous people. If we don't know the history behind that... By the way, it first appeared in 1909 just for your, you were two years off. 1909, so I was two years off, 1907, 1909. Okay, well, anyway, the little gray cells get confused sometimes. But the fact of the matter is, this Schofield Bible is a Zionist perspective that almost all evangelicals, you know, these Christian-based churches in the United States

[00:07:08] have adopted that of adopting this modern state of Israel, which is a socialist state that was created by people that at the very least were soft-core socialists and at the very most hardcore communists. What they're really doing is they're taking religion and exploiting religion, and they're taking religious texts and using that to get a holier-than-thou or a higher-than-brow kind of position on something and acting like if you're against it,

[00:07:36] you're Satan and you're an enemy to all that's good and right. It's a complete lie. It's kind of like killing people in the name of Christianity or using religion to murder millions and say, I mean, it's required of God or this and that. It's just a perversion. And so the perverted modern-day Israel or perverted modern-day Zionism, to me, is just a criminal enterprise dressed up as religion, doctor. Well, it's a religious warfare as we're involved in.

[00:08:05] If they're against Assad in Syria, which they were successful in overthrowing, if they're against Assad because he's a modified Shiite, it's a religious war. It has nothing whatsoever to do with our nation, our stability, our success, and everything else like that. And when you support the modern state of Israel, I mean, think about what David Ben-Gurion said. He wanted to be the Lenin of the Middle East. Let that sink in for a minute. What did Lenin do?

[00:08:34] Oh, yeah, he did this thing in 1917 that he was involved in in Russia, this Soviet socialist state kind of thing. These are the people that migrated from that part of the world and reintroduced that virulent flavor of false government, and they're doing it in the name of religion. And so we are involved in a religious war in the Middle East that we have no dog in the fight.

[00:09:02] We are unconstitutionally involved, so illegally involved as well. Well, they're right. There is no constitutional basis. If there were time, and I know we always get short on time when I'm jabbering away, but if we could go back and read George Washington's farewell address, I would admonish everyone today. Get that out. You know, depending on the font size, it's eight to 12 pages. Read that thing. Wonderful counsel from our friend, George Washington.

[00:09:32] Well, he basically says, stay out of foreign entanglements. They'll be your undoing. Well, it's not only that, but it pollutes your internal government also. Yeah, because if you're not a moral people and if you're a warlike people and everything else, you can't be listening to the Prince of Peace. We're considered to be an odious people. I mean, you and I are, because we're not going with the favored nation here. And he talks about it. I'm standing with the Prince of Peace, and I'm standing for solutions and stuff. That's all.

[00:10:03] Well, that's kind of a simple solution, and that's what Washington was recommending, a humble foreign policy and all those kind of things. Whether it was Washington or Jefferson or Madison or whether it was Monroe, all of those guys gave us a Monroe Doctrine, for example. All of that came out of sound, non-intervention concepts. And what we're doing is we send thousand-pound bombs to be delivered in a genocidal manner

[00:10:30] on the Gaza with tens and tens of thousands. And then what we do is we build a Panama Canal, turn it over to the communists, and wonder why we're getting invaded in our hemisphere, right? Yeah, it's like, holy cow. All right, go ahead and skip the break. I've got so much to talk about, folks, it's not even funny. All this is true. Shame on Congress for backing Israel. I hope when Donald Trump says he jettisoned foreign aid to the World Economic Forum that he jettisoned foreign aid to Israel as well. I don't want to give money to Israel or Palestine. Or Egypt.

[00:11:00] Or Egypt, for sure. I want to stay out of that conflict. We don't belong in it. We have nothing to do with it. It's not even in our hemisphere. Let's stay away from it like the plague. Let's lead by the example of the Prince of Peace. But Donald Trump issued an executive order. And this is what I mean. So you play the A side of a record. Oftentimes you don't even know what's on the B side, right, doctor? This is kind of old school, but there you go. What's a record? But there is an A side and a B side to things, folks. I'm going to give you the A side of Donald Trump's executive order so that you can applaud it, okay?

[00:11:31] Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday prohibiting federal agencies from establishing, issuing, or promoting central bank digital currencies. You in, doctor? Yeah. I mean, in fact, it's opposition to what Biden was taking this thing. Amen. A side plays well, doesn't it? You like it. You're in. You're on board. But if you flip to the B side, and the B side is still part of the record, people, just so you know.

[00:12:00] If you flip to the B side, here's what it says. Okay. Quit applauding now and listen. The executive order also establishes the, quote, presidential working group on digital asset markets, which is, quote, tasked with developing a comprehensive federal regulatory approach

[00:12:28] for, quote, digital assets, creating guidelines for, quote, stable coins and exploring the potential establishment of a, quote, national strategic digital asset reserve. All right? AI and crypto czar, David Sachs, will chair Donald's new group,

[00:12:55] and it will include leaders from the Treasury Department, Securities and Exchange Commission, and other relevant government agencies. The digital asset industry plays a critical role in innovation and economic development in the United States, as well as regarding our United States national global leadership.

[00:13:27] Now, it's therefore the policy of my administration to, quote, support the responsible growth and use of digital assets. And so, then it says Trump signs an executive order to help make America and the world, or America, the capital of the world's crypto.

[00:13:53] The executive order mandates that all federal agencies and departments submit recommendations to the group regarding the, listen, existing digital asset regulations. So, the rescission or the modification of these assets, it also explicitly reveals the Biden administration's previous order. Okay?

[00:14:22] Anyway, so the bottom line is this. It sounds great, and it sounds like he's totally against Joe. And he is, but let me throw something in. I told you that I believe Donald Trump is promoting globalism under the banner of nationalism, a.k.a. the Gulf of America, to prove the point. A.k.a. we're going to take back the Panama Canal, we're going to, you know, buy Greenland, we're going to make, you know, Canada the 51st state, we might as well make Mexico the 52nd state, and, you know, this expansionism or whatever. Okay.

[00:14:50] Well, the same thing is true with this discussion. Donald Trump is rejecting Joe's plan. But instead of doing the Democrat plan for digital, it's the Republican plan or the Donald plan or the big business plan for digital. He's not really getting rid of it like it sounds like. He's saying, I'm overturning Joe. Good, we all applaud. He's saying, hey, you know what? You can establish this working group.

[00:15:20] And, hey, federal agencies can't move ahead. So all he's really saying is federal agencies can't move ahead on their own. Anything that Joe started, stop. And we're going to put the working committee together and do it my way. Other than that, doctor, nothing has changed. Am I crazy? That's what I see. Well, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. I mean, this is kind of the two-sided mouths. You speak it with a forked tongue and everything else like that.

[00:15:50] I think Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5 says Congress shall have power to coin money. And if you read in Article 1, Section 10, you'll read about this gold and silver thing. And if you read in Webster's Dictionary about coining money, it has to do with stamping precious metals. And so the United States has a defined process.

[00:16:14] The Coinage Act of 1792 defined what a dollar was, you know. I mean, there's 371 and a quarter grains of silver. I mean, that's the definition of our money. That is our money. This was clearly defined early in our country's existence. Now, if somebody wants to invest in Bitcoin, I mean, that's their prerogative.

[00:16:42] I mean, obviously, I don't have enough, maybe not obviously, but I certainly don't have enough money to go out and buy Bitcoin. I mean, I just don't have the money. But if people want to invest in pork barrel or pig bellies or they want to invest in some kind of seashell investment, it's your prerogative. You can do that. But the United States has a defined economic system that we have violated.

[00:17:12] And the Federal Reserve System that came into existence in 1913 is a complete charade, a facade, a sham, and a fraud. And that Federal Reserve System continues to destroy our economy. I mean, we've lost between 98 and 99 percent of our purchasing power of our daughters a dollar since 1913. Yeah, but what do you think? I think Donald's just doing it his way, not Joe's way. That's all. That's what I'm saying. Which approach do you want, you know? He's not Congress.

[00:17:42] He's not pointing money. They lead them the same roads, right? But he just literally created a law, established a new working group, jettisoned Joe's law that was made by executive order as well. Congress is sidelined. And we're globally running into this thing saying we're going to invest billions of dollars and be the capital of the world on everything. And he's putting this digital currency. He's giving it credibility. Like I say, if people want to spend their money on whatever, fine. Fine.

[00:18:08] But the fact is that the United States, not just the government, our nation, has already established what our economic system is based on. And we continue to stray farther and farther from it. And this Trump edict, I don't know what the heck it is, pronouncement, I think it's off base.

[00:18:31] And just because it's now a Republican idea instead of a Democrat idea or a Trump idea instead of a Biden idea does not make it a good idea. All right. So let me play a soundbite to make the point. Okay. If you can grab this, Liz, it's in the test folder. We played it yesterday, but I want to play it again. It's Trump outlines plan for TikTok. Listen carefully to what he says to make my point.

[00:18:58] Trump's plan for TikTok. Are you open to Elon on TikTok? I would be if you wanted to buy it. Have you discussed that with Larry Ellison? I'd like Larry to buy it, too. I have the right to make a deal. So the deal I'm thinking about, Larry, let's negotiate in front of the media. The deal I think is this. And I've met with owners of TikTok, the big owners. It's worthless if it doesn't get a permit.

[00:19:26] It's not like, oh, you can take the U.S. The whole thing is worthless with a permit. It's worth like a trillion dollars. So what I'm thinking about saying to somebody is buy it and give half to the United States of America, half, and we'll give you the permit and they'll have a great partner, the United States. And they'll have something that's actually more valuable because they have the ultimate partner and the United States will make it very worthwhile for them in terms of the permits and everything else.

[00:19:55] So think of it. You have an asset that has no value or has a trillion dollar value. It all depends on whether or not the United States gives the permit. So what I'm saying is let the United States give the permit and the United States should get half. Sounds reasonable. What do you think? So there you have it. Donald Trump says, I decide if something's worth a trillion dollars or whether it's worth zero, first of all. Secondly, then I decide, hey, I'm encouraging a private sector person to buy it.

[00:20:25] Give the government half of it. We'll run it together. I mean, he's literally saying he can dictate the wealth from zero to a trillion with a flip of his wrist. And what he's really saying is we need to have an absolute blatant fascist plan for TikTok. By the way, we'll be the world's leader in digital currency and AI. And by the way, we're shutting down all Joe wants. You'll be free again. You think? I don't think so, doctor. I think he's talking out of both sides of his mouth.

[00:20:54] Well, here's the problem. The system that he is promoting is a socialist system. Isn't this fascist, though? Well, here's communism, fascism, democratic socialism. There's different flavors. They're all a flavor of socialism. OK. So a simple definition of socialism is government ownership or control of the means of production or distribution. OK.

[00:21:19] So this one is production and distribution because you're producing, quote unquote, entertainment and material and distributing it. OK. So by definition, government ownership and control of that is socialist. Socialist, whatever flavor you're deciding to call it. Socialist violates our program in government. Government has no authority to act outside the bounds created by the Constitution. So what what now you can call it fascist.

[00:21:49] And really, truly, fascism is is more inclined to what Trump is saying. See, pure communism is government ownership of all the means of production. And here's my here's my understanding. Government is 100 percent ownership. I'm sorry. Communism is ownership and control. 100 percent. Socialism is we're going to soft pedal it. The government can own it and control it. But we're not going to do it in your face forcefully. We're going to be gentle and manipulate you into it. Kind of a thing.

[00:22:16] And fascism is where we say we pretend it's privately owned, but government controlled so much government controlled that it's not really privately owned anymore. Yeah, you might own it on paper, but you don't own it in terms of decision making or anything else. All roads lead straight to hell, though, and communism and tyranny. And that's exactly what's being promoted by Donald Trump. And the idea is is well, everybody says, oh, wow, we get to have to talk and we get to be rich, too.

[00:22:43] The fact of the matter is it's a principled disaster. The principle you're going to foster is fascist, communist, socialist, any flavor you want. I mean, it's it's kind of a mix of them all, because, like you say, with fascism, it's they they promote this idea of private ownership. But they the government directs how it's going to be used. And that's what Mussolini was famous for. And Hitler did a lot of that.

[00:23:10] But Stalin was doing another thing where he killed all the kulaks to take over their farms so he could run these collective farms. The problem is, are you killing them or are you causing somebody to buy them out and give it to us? I mean, it's a forced thing by government. Government's not eloquent. It's not reason. It is force. And that's why it's got to be bounded by constitutional limits.

[00:23:32] And so Trump is very disheartening to me in that he doesn't seem to understand some really, really baseline principles. And he shoots from the hip or slap shot or whatever you want to. Well, and he meets with all the socialists and the celebrities. I mean, he meets with Mika and Morning Joe, these clown literal people that called him Hitler. They're socialist and fascist and communist and everything else. And hey, Trump doesn't sit down with any of us because he's just too darn busy.

[00:24:02] Right? I mean, it's just shocking. But yet he has time to speak to the World Economic Forum. What about speaking to free market capitalists and sitting down with people that can truly make a difference and reign in this clown show? Vivek already left Doge over this very discussion, ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, when we come back, I want to break this down even further. Because CNN now needs to go all digital. So they can take part in the big AI slash crypto deal. We'll tell you about that coming up as well.

[00:24:31] I don't mean to attack Donald Trump, ladies and gentlemen. And I applaud the good that he's done. But you've got to be very careful when you pick up that snake. I'll tell you that. Oh, didn't Donald lead last term with that poem? Just saying. God save the republic. Cross the land. You're listening to Liberty News Radio.

[00:24:59] News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Rich Thomason. Ahead of a key event for the pro-life movement, President Trump has pardoned nearly two dozen pro-life protesters. On the eve of the annual March for Life, the president signed pardons for 23 people convicted and imprisoned by the Biden administration for peacefully protesting outside abortion clinics. Many of them are elderly people. They should not have been prosecuted.

[00:25:28] This is a great honor to sign this. Pro-life groups are cheering the president's action. Greg Clugston, the White House. The 52nd annual March for Life taking place today in Washington, D.C., featuring Vice President Vance. This year's theme, Life, Why We March. President Trump is traveling today and the first of two stops. He'll see the devastation caused by a hurricane four months ago. North Carolina's been treated very badly, so we're stopping there.

[00:25:55] And we're going to then go to Los Angeles and take a look at a fire that could have been put out if they let the water flow. But they didn't let the water flow, and they still have it for whatever reason. California Governor Gavin Newsom says the state will be providing more than $2.5 billion in wildfire recovery aid, as heard here on ABC 7 Los Angeles. I want to thank everybody that cleared the deck, didn't play politics with this, that recognized that people are in need.

[00:26:21] Proclaiming arrival of the golden age of America, President Trump has addressed globalists' meeting in Switzerland, an address via videoconference. Mr. Trump says his agenda will result in a more peaceful, prosperous planet, adding that his is a revolution, a revolution of common sense. Senate vote expected later today in the nomination of Pete Hegseth to serve as Secretary of Defense. If he wins confirmation, it is expected to be an extremely close vote.

[00:30:13] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West, you are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show. Dr. Scott Bradley is with me, ladies and gentlemen, freedomsrisingsun.com. We're talking about this Trump deal, and I'm not here to attack Trump. There's a lot that he's done in the last several days that I really applaud. Pardoning the J6 folks. He didn't have to do that, but he did. Good on him for it.

[00:30:44] Pardoning 23 pro-life activists. Good on Donald. You know what? Rejecting this tyranny on our free speech. Donald's done a lot of good in the last several days. He really has. But, folks, it is scaring the heck out of me. What's going on now? Trump's senior executive leadership team, 60% Jewish, 100% Zionist. I don't know what all that means except for it doesn't mean Americanist. It doesn't mean the United States.

[00:31:11] So, on one hand, Donald Trump talks about freedom and prosperity and the Constitution, and we're going to get rid of all the bad guys and shut down the deep state and stop the global elites and pull out of this global organization and pull out of that organization and do this and do that and shake things up 66 ways from Sunday. But out of it will we end up with a new world order.

[00:31:31] See, those are terms that George Bush talked about, that Barack Obama talked about, that Clinton talked about, that, okay, Donald doesn't use those words, but he says things like this, where they say North American Union, like the European Union. Everybody's like, oh, that got debunked. Forget that. That's not happening. Trump comes back and says, yeah, but we'll call it the Gulf of America. Yeah, why don't we go ahead and, you know, buy Greenland, go ahead and make Canada the 51st state and, you know, maybe Mexico the 52nd state or maybe they'll sell part of Mexico to us and we'll buy this.

[00:32:01] And we get this expansion as to where do we just have the European slash North American Union under a different name there? I'm just saying that it seems like everything he's doing is promoting globalism under the banner of nationalism and promoting freedom under the token of socialism, Dr. Bradley. Well, that's the whole problem is that you change the name. Well, there's an old saying, rose by any other name is still a rose.

[00:32:29] And the baseline that needs to understand is you can't make it different by naming it different. And there's just way too much going on right now for my comfort level. And I really think that he's just got to go back and read the Constitution again and say this is the limits and bounds that we operated in. I don't know that he's capable of it. There's no elastic clause, though.

[00:32:56] You can't say, oh, but I've got a little wiggle room here and a little wiggle room there. No, this is very specific, exact, and direct. And everybody keeps trying to overreach. I mean, this idea of pardoning yourself, for example. Well, I've got the power to pardon. It must mean I can pardon myself. That's absurd, absolutely absurd. And so we as a people, I fear, are just gullible as blazes.

[00:33:23] We're more interested in the upcoming Super Bowl game than we are in maintaining our liberty and proper government. And people got out of their armchairs and went and voted, and Trump won a major victory. He won because of the things he said he was going to do.

[00:33:38] Now, what he's doing is those things all too often with the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away kind of attitude that ends up ultimately and finally not changing the course of the nation back to its original course at all, but allowing it to continue to drift. And that's why I think when Donald Trump did so much by executive order to make such a difference in 2016-17 when he got, you know, in first time, everybody just really applauded it. But 99% of it was undone by Joe.

[00:34:08] And now 99% of Joe's stuff is undone by Donald. And are we in four years just going to go back to that again? And, you know, when are we going to codify truth in law and say, wait a minute, we're not going to just be at the winds of who's ever, quote, leaders in power or whatever. We're going to follow the blueprint. We're going to, okay, so I'm really concerned. And, you know, on one hand, we're in a, what does it call it, a golden age.

[00:34:33] That alone smacks of kind of a new age religious overtone. It isn't good, doctor. All these, all these things, all this, we're going to be great. But, you know, and I know Trump mentions God and good on him for doing it. But I'm just telling you, I think that we're leaving these fundamentals behind in this quest. And we're making a huge mistake in doing it.

[00:34:58] You know, they oftentimes, it's like Bush with his thousand points of light and all this kind of stuff, which we could discuss at some length about his new agey kind of thing. But Trump right now, I mean, I've got, I've just been looking at a list of his executive orders. And he revoked 78 executive actions by, by Biden. And this, this kind of thing, we're not electing a monarch.

[00:35:27] We're electing an individual that has a specific job role. And I don't care if it's Republican or Democrat. If they kept it within the bounds that were set. Now, I don't like Republicans or Democrats. It's part of my problem, I guess. But if they kept, if their actions are kept within the bounds established in our written constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. An executive cannot create law by executive order. It simply can't happen. And the departments underneath the president cannot create law.

[00:35:56] I know they call them policies and regulations. But if they're, you know, enforced as though they're law upon the people of the nation, they're violating the constitution. And so you say, well, hey, one of these executive orders I'm looking at is he's withdrawing us from the World Health Organization. Woo-woo! But the fact of the matter is, I've got to see what really comes out of it, where he's, he's got Robbie, Bobby Kennedy as going in as his new health and human services.

[00:36:26] But his surgeon general is a vaccine monger. There's just stuff that just doesn't make any sense. And how you're, you're trying to foster a foreign nation. Because if you use the Hegelian dialectic, all you've got to do is put a Bobby Kennedy in there that's super our view and put this other clown that's completely opposite view and let him kind of battle it out and see who wins behind the scenes. Then make sure you put a good spin on it up front and behind the scenes. It's completely different. That's why this executive order that I highlighted, at first it says, hey, we're getting rid of all this digital currency crap. We're not doing it.

[00:36:55] Next thing you know, it says, hey, we're going to be the digital king of the world. We're going to do this plan. And we're going to put together my executive committee on this thing. And everybody's part of it. Everyone must comply and get aboard. And we're just, we're just jettisoning Joe's way and doing it my way. It's the Donald plan now, not the Joe plan. So here's the, here's the thing with the TikTok. We've been on that a few minutes ago. I know, but we, you can't do all any of these things justice in the minutes we have.

[00:37:19] But so the Congress passes a TikTok ban and then it goes to the Supreme Court, says it's going to be abandoned. And Trump says, no, we're going to put it on hold for 75 days. And then he says, we're going to have an American private investor, probably with U.S. guaranteed funds. Well, he's hoping for Larry Ellison or maybe Elon Musk or somebody to buy it, you know? Maybe. Musk has bought other things. I mean, you know, X, for example.

[00:37:44] And anyway, fact of the matter is, and then the United States is going to say a stipulation of your ownership is passing ownership onto the United States. You're going to have a permit there, you know? It's all about permit, doctor. There's no authority for the United States to own this industry. You can't own a car business. This is the United States government. You can't own a medical device company.

[00:38:08] It's one of those things where if you do take control, you're doing a Stalinist or a Mussoliniist or a Hitlerist or a Labor Partyist kind of thing out of England. It's all wrong. It's just all wrong. This is not our nation. This is not the way this is authorized. And if you, OK, we have a written constitution. That means it's casting concrete. See, the Brits don't have a written constitution.

[00:38:37] They have, by guess and by golly, they have some acts of their parliament. They have monarchical statements. They have things that have kind of evolved over time. It just is kind of loosey-goosey. But with a written constitution, it's written in plain English. Each one of those words means something. And they could only mean what they meant in the day they were written. There is no way you can redefine those terms.

[00:39:04] And so people that are trying to do this constantly hold their mouth a certain way and say, oh, I can pardon myself. Isn't that cool? Because I can pardon. The heck you say. So this is what we're doing. It's a tragic deal, ladies and gentlemen. And I don't know where we go with this, but I'm concerned about Trump's plan for TikTok. And then when he says, hey, I want to be the AI and whatever leader of the world, that's where most of this media stuff is going to, whether it's TikTok or X.

[00:39:34] They all want to go AI, and they want to go digital currency. And you blend AI and digital currency together with a, quote, communist-style behavior card or whatever you want to say, behavior score. Look out, ladies and gentlemen, because they're just basically telling you they're not going to promote tyranny, but they're going to build the biggest tyranny in the world if you're not very careful. Write it down. Remember who told you first. But listen to this to make the point.

[00:40:02] CNN chief sees no choice but to, quote, hard pivot to digital. Okay. Fine. I thought cable was digital in the first place, but, oh, what do I know? It's analog there. Okay. Give people news where and when they want it, says Mark Thompson, CNN's chief executive.

[00:40:26] And then he says that was one of the brilliant insights Ted Turner had when he built it in the first place. Then he says this. Go ahead and skip the break. Thank you. Then he says this. And if CNN doesn't follow that advice for the, quote, digital age, then CNN as a company may no longer exist. What do you think of that, doctor? Well, I guess we can hope for it.

[00:40:54] I mean, you know, CNN has not been a paragon of truth. I believe Donald would save CNN. Say again? Donald would probably save CNN. He loves it. Well, that's the thing. You love to hate them. But the fact of the matter is it's a private enterprise. Well, it's supposed to be. I think it takes plenty of government money, though. Well, it does. It's supposed to be. You're right. That's a clarification we need.

[00:41:19] But the fact of the matter is that it should have the privilege of failing on its own. I mean, that's the one thing about a free market is you can try, you can buy, you can sell, and you can fail. And we keep trying to say things like that. And you can restart. Yeah. You're trying to say, though, they're too big to fail.

[00:41:37] And so we've got this 2008 disaster that the government intervened in on behalf of the banks that were doing just, they were profligately wrong in terms of their unfaithfulness to correct principles. And then, by the way, Utah lost one of its senators over that. that Bob Bennett jumped in. These banks are too big to fail and everything. We're going to bail them out with U.S. government funds, taxpayer dollars.

[00:42:08] We're going to, you know, you as a taxpayer can fail. You know, you can lose your house. You can lose everything you've got, your business and everything. But these guys are too big to fail. Bravo, Sierra. Let them learn a lesson. Step away from it and let it happen. But that's not what we do anymore in America. We intervene with government funds and we retain a measure of ownership, if not in economic, you know, dollars and cents, but in regulatory power over them.

[00:42:36] And that's what, by the way, Trump is doing with this digital currency thing. He is going to spin it into the format that the government wants in what should be a free market. If somebody is going to go out and invest in Bitcoin, they can try buy, sell and fail also. No. And by the way, the government's intervening already in that market. By the way, they tax your transactions in Bitcoin. And they control people's actions through taxation.

[00:43:06] Taxation is the power to destroy if it were exercised that way. So this is just another way of government control by putting his some kind of group together to oversee digital currency. Let him go out and dink around with it. Because if you take AI, what will be digital that won't have an AI component in the future, doctor? Nothing. Well, yeah, it becomes very problematic.

[00:43:33] And we as a people can sell this stuff and you do it with enthusiasm when Trump's doing it. You do it begrudgingly when Biden's doing it. Quit doing it. That's the whole secret. Amen to that. By the way, speaking of that AOC, Ocasio-Cortez, New York rep, if you will, said during a podcast on Thursday that she's concerned about elites and cultural figures, celebrities, etc., associating with President Donald Trump.

[00:44:02] So she's like the first go around. Everybody hated him. Now he's normalized everything so much to where everybody's with him and she's concerned about it. And what I find fascinating about that is this. Why would someone release a news story saying that AOC is concerned about all these people hanging out with Donald Trump? What if the story was rewritten?

[00:44:23] What if it said, hey, you know, in these big newspapers, Sam Bushman is concerned that Joe Biden is going to walk away from criminal activity without a scrape. Sam is concerned that the World Economic Forum is embracing Trump's ideology now.

[00:44:45] And so, okay, how come we take AOC, this clown show little girl, barmaid congresswoman now, barmaid turned congresswoman, and she's going to be the one to be like, hey, I'm going to hold the moral high ground here. Listen, I'm very concerned that Donald Trump is all these celebrities and all these famous people and all these elites and cultural figures are hanging out with Trump. Why would that even be a story for her opinion on that?

[00:45:12] Only because they want to continue to, through manipulated lenses, attack Trump, as far as I can see. Well, they love to attack Trump because the more they attack Trump, the more Trump attacks them and the more you and I lose our eye on the ball, doctor. Well, you know, AOC has attained celebrity status because of the media promotion of her. This is a case of... Just like Trump, right? You're feeding the beast.

[00:45:39] What you do is you create your own opposition and your own, you know, current within whatever you're trying to promote. And AOC is only a celebrity because the media has made her so. And it's like us giving credibility to the World Economic Forum and the United Nations or whatever by participating in it.

[00:46:01] Let it die on its own accord of its own, you know, let it die on the vine because people go, this stuff's not even worth our time. But they keep feeding the beast for the media to go and ask her for her opinion. Who cares? But isn't that how Donald got his fame on a similar deal? Now Snoop Dogg's gone MAGA, for instance. It is largely... I mean, he became some kind of TV celebrity and a mogul for real estate.

[00:46:29] And he buys influence by... What was the beauty pageant that he owned? I mean, there's just every opportunity's in the limelight, you know. Yeah, but I look at it and go, even Snoop Dogg has gone MAGA now. So now the big question on the internet is, should we accept him? You know, Snoop Dogg probably has more cred than a lot of people like AOC. I mean, I don't even know the man.

[00:46:54] But that's the problem is she is preeminent and prominent and in the limelight because it was a created image. And it was created by the kingmakers, I guess. Some sort of influencers. And to tell you the truth, these people aren't even noise on my radar, but... I get it. But they make it popular. And that's kind of the point is people fall for it all the time. One last interesting story.

[00:47:22] I hope I have time to let you respond to this, but listen. The New York Times now is complaining that labeling Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations will hurt the U.S. economy. Doctor? Can I just laugh? I mean, come on, people.

[00:47:43] I guess the drug business has become so big in the United States, it is a major mover and shaker in the economy. I mean, it is in Mexico for sure. And so we say there... Let's just stop it at the border. Stop it. Stop doing this idea. Look at Article 1, Section 8. Your ability to stop trade with foreign powers is found in Article 1, Section 8. Just do it.

[00:48:13] Don't you think we should buy Tijuana, man? Come on. No. No. Have you been to Tijuana? Yes, I have. I mean, I think everybody that goes to Tijuana ought to walk across the border. Don't take a taxi. Walk across the border and you can smell the ambiance of what you're coming into. I mean, it's so tragic that the sewage that is collected on these border towns, and I'm not saying everybody that lives there is.

[00:48:42] What I'm saying is that this is really... You can see and smell what the difference is in countries based upon how they run themselves. And if you have open sewage flowing in the ditches, if you have profligate, horrific, egregious kinds of... You buy anything you want in Tijuana. I mean, you know, whatever. It's a sad, tragic thing.

[00:49:09] And it's fostered by people from the United States that go across the border to buy this stuff. And it's fostered by the cartels that are feeding all this bad stuff into the nation. It's a symbiotic relationship. Look at the New York Times, the biggest newspaper in the country, or at least one of them, literally complaining that labeling Mexican drug cartels and trafficking cartels as terrorist organizations, hey, man, that's going to just be like, it'll hurt the U.S. economy. You can't do that.

[00:49:38] It's kind of like how they talk about war, and then they're like, well, war's good for the economy. These people are crazy. Yeah. The problem is that they just stir, and it creates, I guess, readers. I don't know. If it leads... No, if it bleeds, it leads. Yeah, that's right. That's what they're there for. So Marco Rubio, I don't know if you know, but he already headed down to the Panama Canal. New Secretary of State heads to Panama Canal, writes Michael, a chance. What do you think? Do you think we're going to go ahead and take that back?

[00:50:08] See, what I think we ought to do is we ought to just negotiate a plan that says we can bring our ships through free for so long because we, you know, built that thing and spent all our money on it and this and that. And, you know, hey, Trump's just big issue is that we're getting charged too much, right? Well, that's what he's made a big stink about. And the fact that Rubio has gone down there, to me, is a positive sign in that historically, the United States in the last several decades has never been a good neighbor to any of the people in our continent.

[00:50:38] I mean, they've spent all their time with the G20 groups and this stuff about World Economic Forum and all that Bravo Sierra. And Latin America, South America, Central America has got good reason to be distrustful of the United States. I mean, we have stepped in it with them for the last 120-something years without fail.

[00:51:01] I mean, everything we've done down there is something they can take umbrages and you can kind of see why they got a bad attitude about us. The fact that he's going down there to talk to somebody means that, I mean, if you're talking to each other, you're not shooting at each other generally. Okay? And I think that it's good that he's down there and I'm just anxious. Oh, for sure. At least we can negotiate, right? Let's talk. At least we can put our people on the ground and not depend on other people.

[00:51:28] And the fact is that what Bush did, he sent the army down there. I mean, when Noriega, one of his cronies, by the way, George H.W., one of his cronies that he dealt with when he was in the CIA was Noriega. And I think he got really concerned Noriega was going to spill the beans somehow of what Bush had done. And so he sends him down to put him under lock and key. So he's shut up. So we sent an invasion force in. And we lost people's lives.

[00:51:58] Panamanians lost their lives. The whole thing was a disaster. And at least we're talking right now. And I don't know what message that Rubio's taking down there. But at least there's a handshake happening to begin with. You know, let's not go to war. Amen. And I hope what he does is he negotiates an appropriate plan. We should have never gave the canal away. But I don't know that at this point we can take it back without a war. And so, you know, how do you sit down and negotiate this thing?

[00:52:26] In my opinion, building it was a disaster in the first place because I don't think we're going to be able to promote closeness economically. But keep the enemies away in times of if there should ever be a war between some of these countries and stuff. The Panama Canal will literally let, you know, troops and enemies come onto our hemisphere, our soil ten times easier. Right? Well, they've got this. I've been down. I've looked at it. At the freeway.

[00:52:55] It's not literally a freeway, okay, in the American sense. But the pathway from South America to North America and in the United States has been under construction. I have gone down and looked at what they're doing. I mean, stuff through the jungle that you say, how the heck? And whatever is who's paying for this kind of thing. We did. Boy, I'd like to get to the bottom of that. I don't know enough about it to be dangerous, but I've stepped in the mud. I mean, come on.

[00:53:23] But the fact of the matter is that, I mean, Panama itself came into existence because the United States facilitated a coup against Colombia in 1903. I mean, this was because the negotiations with Colombia were not going good for a Panamanian canal anyway. I mean, across the isthmus of Panama. And so, I mean, we've been ticking people off in that area of the world forever.

[00:53:49] And you can see why they're kind of turning their back on us, thumbing their nose at us and becoming our enemies. Well, the bottom line is they don't trust us. We've betrayed them too many times. We've played games too many times. Anyway, our prayers are that we can be successful, ladies and gentlemen. We don't mean to down the Trump administration. We don't mean to down any of these people. What we do mean to do, though, is say, hey, fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you. And that's kind of where we are here.

[00:54:19] In my opinion, we have got to stand for the supreme law of the land. No imposter is welcome. Just saying. We need to turn to God Almighty if we really want to be able to truth tell. That's our recommendation. One of the biggest things we can do is pray hard and turn to God Almighty and prepare for the upcoming turmoil which is bound to happen.
