We aren't buying it!
* Really? - The simple act of distributing photos not sophisticated facial recognition technology leads cops to the suspect?
* Luigi's Manifesto - Read the manifesto the media refused to publish - Ken Klippenstein.
I’ve obtained a copy of suspected killer Luigi Mangione’s manifesto — the real one, not the forgery circulating online. Major media outlets are also in possession of the document but have refused to publish it and not even articulated a reason why. My queries to The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and NBC to explain their rationale for withholding the manifesto, while gladly quoting from it selectively, have not been answered.
* Luigi Mangione allegedly gunned down a health insurance CEO in cold blood, and within minutes of his arrest, we know his entire life story.
* Some people are celebrating the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by selling merchandise glorifying the alleged assassin.
* McDonald's Worker Who Called Cops Could Be in for Some Cash $60K was offered for information leading to the murder suspect's arrest and/or conviction.
* Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Killing Luigi Mangione, Fights Extradition to New York - Manhattan prosecutors have charged Luigi Mangione with five counts, including murder and criminal possession of a weapon - Sam Dorman
* Mangione is wanted in New York for charges including second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree.
He Shouted something is "completely out of touch" and is insulting the "intelligence of the American people" as he arrived for his hearing.
* Luigi Mangione Had a 'Ghost Gun' - The guns are legal, though rules have tightened to make them more traceable.

Welcome to the Big Mig Talk Radio show, broadcasting live
00:00:13
from the Mile High City, Denver, Co.
00:00:16
We are the tip of the spear, cutting through the noise and
00:00:19
delivering an hour of unfiltered news, guests, and truth that
00:00:24
transcends boundaries and unites the nation.
00:00:27
This is the Big Mig Talk radio show.
00:00:33
Welcome back to the Big Meek talk radio show.
00:00:36
I'm your host Lance Miliaccio with my Co host George
00:00:40
Ballentine. We are the tip of the spear.
00:00:43
And you know, on this show our plan is to educate and unify the
00:00:45
country one episode at a time. On this show, we believe it is
00:00:49
better to be hugged by the truth than comforted with a lie.
00:00:52
We're live in Denver and NYC. My brother from another mother,
00:00:56
George Ballentine, how are you, Sir?
00:00:58
What's going on this morning? What's shaken there in the NYC?
00:01:02
Let me see. Not much, you know, I always say
00:01:04
if we wake up it's a blessing, but it's the sun is out, blue
00:01:07
skies, but it's cold, normal for this time of year.
00:01:11
So it's all good. But at least it's not snowing or
00:01:13
raining when I haven't seen snow yet in my area.
00:01:16
So that's a good sign. Yeah, well, we've, we've had
00:01:20
some snow in Colorado, but this morning it's chilly but sunny,
00:01:23
so it's not too bad. Hopefully we'll have a nice day.
00:01:25
I didn't really look at the weather.
00:01:26
I don't know what exactly the rest of the day is going to
00:01:28
hold. Hopefully it warms up some more.
00:01:30
I've got a little bit of yard work I need to do, some leaf
00:01:32
cleaning that I am not looking forward to.
00:01:35
But that's part of the fall. That's what you got to do.
00:01:37
But before we fire up, I want to thank one of our sponsors,
00:01:39
that's Genesis Gold Group. And what we're going to talk
00:01:42
about is the Prepper Bar. The 62.2g Prepper Bar.
00:01:46
Perforated and easily broken down into your choice of three
00:01:49
different denominations to fit a multitude of needs.
00:01:53
Whether it be for asset protection from inflation,
00:01:55
economic turmoil, or its unique utility for barter and trade,
00:01:58
the Prepper Bar makes a perfect gift, especially this time of
00:02:02
year. It's the O holiday season for
00:02:04
all those precious metal stackers and lovers out there.
00:02:07
Great for your loved ones, grandkids, your family.
00:02:10
The idea behind this bar is that it just in case the US dollar
00:02:14
tanks and it's unusable. You never know with bricks.
00:02:15
You never know about the economy.
00:02:17
Hopefully Trump's going to fix it, but if not, this is a great
00:02:20
way to not only invest in bullion, but have something that
00:02:22
is very usable just in case things go the wrong way.
00:02:26
Exclusively made and minted in the US.
00:02:28
You don't have to worry about any counterfeiting.
00:02:30
You can head over to the bigmigbar.com.
00:02:33
That's right, thebigmigbar.com pick up a couple for the
00:02:36
holidays. George likes the gold ones.
00:02:38
If you're going to buy him a gift, I'll take anything you
00:02:41
want to send us. But in the meantime, for your
00:02:43
family members, they're both in stock.
00:02:44
Don't wait. The big bigbar.com.
00:02:47
Well, of course, unless you've been living under a rock.
00:02:49
Everybody knows about Joe Biden's pardon for his son
00:02:52
Hunter Biden, but a lot of questions remain.
00:02:56
It seems as though Joe's pre emptive pardons may or may not
00:03:02
be legal. He kind of gave Hunter Biden a
00:03:05
blanket pardon and now people are concerned.
00:03:08
What about the eight other family members caught up in fan,
00:03:12
of course, in the Biden criminal enterprise, Is Joe going to be
00:03:16
handing out these pardons to his family members like he's handing
00:03:21
out bags of Doritos? George, what do you think?
00:03:26
I think he's definitely going to be handing out pardons.
00:03:28
We should, you know, if this was just a tip of the iceberg with
00:03:33
him. I mean, but in order to protect
00:03:35
himself from further scrutiny or possible charges, he needs to
00:03:41
protect his whole family, you know, not just Hunter.
00:03:45
So, you know, you made a point though, like Trump, I mean,
00:03:51
Biden is doing these pardons. He's talking about even
00:03:54
pardoning Fauci, Adam Schiff. Who else is it?
00:03:58
Retired General Miley, Yeah. So you brought up a point.
00:04:03
Is this legal? And I've been doing some
00:04:06
research and it's actually, it's highly unusual, but it has been
00:04:11
done, though there have been a couple cases where presidents
00:04:16
pardoned a few people that were never convicted or charged of a
00:04:19
crime. One of them, and everybody will
00:04:22
know this, and Gerald, President Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard
00:04:27
Nixon after Watergate, that's one.
00:04:31
And then you had President Jimmy Carter's pardon of Vietnam draft
00:04:34
dodgers. And the third one was President
00:04:37
Bush's pardon on Casper Weinberger that was to do with
00:04:42
something to do with Iran Contra with the missiles.
00:04:45
So it's happened. Whether it's legal or not, I
00:04:50
don't know, but until somebody. Well, the only work around for
00:04:55
this would be to prove that Joe Biden was not freely and fairly
00:05:01
elected, because that would you'd be able to go back and
00:05:05
everything he'd ever ruled on, every determination or executive
00:05:08
order or pardon he'd ever issued would be nullified.
00:05:12
But whether or not that's even possible at this point, I have
00:05:15
no idea. Do they have the evidence?
00:05:16
Do they have the facts? I mean, the American people know
00:05:18
what happened, but clearly whether or not we can prove it
00:05:21
is another thing. How much of the evidence has
00:05:23
been destroyed? But it's kind of frightening
00:05:25
because this is basically would be setting a precedent for
00:05:28
people to commit a bunch of crimes and then have the ability
00:05:32
that maybe they they're in with the president and, and be able
00:05:35
to just walk away from all of it.
00:05:37
And that sure doesn't work for the American people.
00:05:39
You don't see the average American getting that done.
00:05:40
And AmeriCorps, 9 different Biden family members got checks
00:05:45
from there and the checks were kind of like tax evasion.
00:05:50
They were acting like they were repayments of loans where none
00:05:53
of the family members had actually made loans to the
00:05:55
company came out of investor money.
00:05:57
So James Biden, you know, Jim Biden, Joe Biden's brother is
00:06:01
who was running that company. You know, I don't know.
00:06:03
And this, the shady dealings in Ukraine and energy firm Burisma.
00:06:08
You know, George, this is really unsettling for me.
00:06:10
I have a hard time with this. You know, I'm a somewhat of a
00:06:12
legal Beagle. I don't really understand
00:06:14
executive privilege and presidential pardons all that
00:06:17
well because I've never had any reason to study them.
00:06:19
But I'm uneasy about it because it sets a really slippery slope
00:06:23
of precedence. It's bad enough that we're
00:06:26
dealing with a judiciary that seems to be compromised.
00:06:29
I mean, they're they that new ruling on on the 1512 that was
00:06:33
used against a lot of J Sixers that they're going back to get
00:06:36
resents and the judges are actually giving them extra time.
00:06:39
But what happens when you have a president that's just handing
00:06:41
out, you know, Christmas cookie pardons?
00:06:45
Well, unrestricted, unlimited, they're almost like lifetime
00:06:48
pardons. What do you do about that,
00:06:50
George? I think, I mean, the only way is
00:06:54
probably it has to go to Supreme Court to make a decision.
00:06:58
But it I don't from a legal standpoint, from a from a
00:07:03
citizen standpoint, from any standpoint, this shouldn't be
00:07:05
allowed because let's just put let's just put the meat on
00:07:09
potatoes on the table here, everybody.
00:07:11
President's in office, he tells, I don't know, some of his
00:07:17
friends to go do something that's a federal crime, whether
00:07:20
it could be murder, whether it could be robbing a bank,
00:07:22
anything. And help pardon you before you
00:07:27
even can get arrested. How does that work?
00:07:30
That's just a pre emptive. That's like a free get out of
00:07:32
jail monopoly card. I mean, here's the thing, Jim
00:07:37
Jordan's talked about this a lot.
00:07:38
He talks about the fundamental question and what did the Biden
00:07:40
family members do to warrant the receipt of millions and millions
00:07:45
of dollars. And that money came from foreign
00:07:48
nationals and other companies, their companies.
00:07:51
And a lot of it was hidden, like I said, as loan repayments.
00:07:55
And if you look at Joe Biden's brother, his wife, girlfriend,
00:07:59
Beau, the three children, which was these are the grandchildren
00:08:02
we're talking about. How could they have contributed?
00:08:05
So the list would be Hunter Biden, James Biden, Sarah Biden,
00:08:09
Hayley Biden, Kathleen Biden, Melissa Biden, the niece and
00:08:12
nephew, the niece and nephew and the grandchildren.
00:08:15
That's a lot of people getting checks.
00:08:16
It's like a family affair. I mean, this isn't, isn't this
00:08:19
La Cosa Nostra? Isn't this the Mafia we're
00:08:22
talking about when you start operating like this?
00:08:25
I think a lot of these loan repayments were just straight up
00:08:28
tax evasion. And this Chinese firm that
00:08:32
transferred 5 million, the CEFC to Hudson W the third, I mean,
00:08:38
that was a deal that Hunter Biden was in the middle of.
00:08:40
So I don't know, George, this is really this.
00:08:43
This puts a lot of things in question and sets a nasty
00:08:47
precedence. I mean, it sure does because
00:08:50
let's just say the DOJ puts pressure on President Biden, I
00:08:57
don't know, after these office and says, listen, you know, your
00:09:00
grandchild, your niece, nephew that we're going to bring
00:09:03
charges and get unless you start, you know, admitting what
00:09:06
you guys did, right. But then if he pardons them, he
00:09:10
takes that off the table. So I mean it doesn't work.
00:09:14
Well, and and if that's the case, then I want my lifetime
00:09:18
pre emptive life to death. Pardon.
00:09:21
So I can just go out on my own personal crime wave and get all
00:09:23
the money I want to get. Why shouldn't I be able to do
00:09:25
it? My point is equal application
00:09:27
law. Yeah, George, of course I'm
00:09:29
going to get you one. I'm going to get the same thing
00:09:31
for you. The point is equal application
00:09:34
of the law. You're welcome, buddy.
00:09:35
Equal application of law, equal protection of the law and the
00:09:38
rule law have to be done in such a manner that it's equal for
00:09:43
everyone. Yeah, well, it's not equal.
00:09:47
We've seen the justice system not being equal for everyone for
00:09:52
years upon years. And you know, recently it's come
00:09:54
about where people have seen it because it's become mainstream
00:09:58
when you start hitting high-ranking people.
00:10:01
But. That can prove he was not freely
00:10:04
and fairly elected. So these are concerns, of
00:10:07
course. Listen, there's big news on the
00:10:11
TikTok scene. You know, George and I are not
00:10:13
fans of TikTok. We don't like the presidents and
00:10:15
sets, but but it looks like if TikTok does not get liquidated,
00:10:20
it's going to be time to ban them nationwide.
00:10:22
Here in the US. They're going to get thrown out
00:10:24
of the country. I'd love to see it.
00:10:25
I hope they don't get it sold. I don't want to see anybody else
00:10:27
step in. But of course, this is the kind
00:10:29
of thing that we have to look at.
00:10:32
Who's behind TikTok? Why are toilet bowl licking
00:10:36
challenges and others? Who knows why these challenges
00:10:43
happen on TikTok, but they're there to demean the kids in
00:10:47
America and it's just unheard of.

All right, the big, big talk radio show is back and we're
00:13:01
live in New York and Denver with your host Lance Migliacho and
00:13:05
George Valentin. We are the tip of the spear
00:13:09
TikTok ban. What's going to happen with
00:13:12
TikTok, Lance? They have until January 19th.
00:13:17
Why you asked, Lance? You're the scholar here to, you
00:13:21
know, you want to tell everybody.
00:13:22
I know we're not fans of it. Well, at the end of the day, I,
00:13:26
you know, I have no love lost for TikTok.
00:13:29
You guys know, on our regular show on Rumble, the big, big
00:13:32
show, if you've watched this, we've discussed it many times
00:13:34
because I believe that the CCP has used it as an intentional
00:13:38
way to undermine our youth. Because let's face it, by
00:13:42
destroying the youth and creating what I would call lots
00:13:46
of interaction with the young people in this country, I think
00:13:49
they've really set a precedent to really kind of damage us
00:13:52
from, you know, bottom to top. So this social media company
00:13:57
hopes for a federal appeals court would agree with this
00:13:59
argument that the law was unconstitutional because
00:14:03
supposedly it represented a staggering impact on free
00:14:05
speech. But I don't see the benefit of
00:14:07
TikTok. I have to be honest.
00:14:09
I don't like it. I don't like what's going on.
00:14:10
I'm happy they didn't win the appeal.
00:14:13
Part of it is the fact that it's been linked back to the Chinese,
00:14:16
Chinese state, which of course is the CCP.
00:14:19
I don't think it's really a good idea because there's a major
00:14:22
threat when you start looking at the PRC, which is the People's
00:14:24
Republic of China. And, and when they own a
00:14:27
platform with that much influence, you really have to
00:14:31
look at it when it comes to a foreign adversary controlling a
00:14:34
platform like that. So, you know, the Supreme Court
00:14:37
established historical record of protecting Americans rights to
00:14:40
free speech, but I don't think that includes foreign adversary
00:14:47
controlled platforms. Even though it's going to ban
00:14:51
U.S. citizens inadvertently, I don't think we can have a
00:14:54
foreign adversary on a platform like this that has this much
00:14:58
influence on our public. What do you think, George?
00:15:01
I agree with you 100% on that because you know the things that
00:15:06
these kids do today to just to make a TikTok is is unheard of.
00:15:11
Like they have these contests where they'll go walk into a
00:15:15
public bathroom and then lick the sneakers, the bottom of
00:15:19
their sneakers or lick the toilet seats.
00:15:20
I mean, really dumb stuff that's very harmful.
00:15:24
And how many kids that we've lost to, you know, some of these
00:15:28
contests where they lost their lives.
00:15:30
I mean, you know enough. Like one of the things is the
00:15:33
stuff you see on TikTok here, they don't allow in China.
00:15:36
I don't know about other, I don't know about other
00:15:38
countries, but they don't allow in China.
00:15:41
No, Chinese TikTok looks completely different than US
00:15:44
TikTok on their platform. There's education, there's
00:15:47
physical fitness contest, there's training.
00:15:50
No, it is nothing like this. And that just proves the intent
00:15:53
of it. Because at the end of the day,
00:15:55
these kids that are dancing around in the aisles of Costco
00:15:58
and Home Depot and getting in people's ways.
00:16:00
And when they're going up and they're and they're pranking
00:16:02
people because they're trying to get likes and views, it's
00:16:05
garbage and it's unnecessary. And I don't think the American
00:16:09
public needs it. So if it was up to me, I don't
00:16:12
even want them to be able to sell TikTok because I think
00:16:14
they'll be some kind of an underhanded deal where they'll
00:16:17
still try to use control. I hope they just flat out get
00:16:20
thrown out of the country. But that's me.
00:16:21
I mean so. Yeah, me too.
00:16:23
Because, you know, they're still suppressing free speech because
00:16:25
let's face it, what does the CCP know about free speech?
00:16:29
That's unheard of in in China. But you know, there's certain
00:16:32
things you bring up and like you can, we can have a guest on our
00:16:35
show and he's talking about whatever a book he wrote or a
00:16:38
movie. And if it doesn't go with their
00:16:40
narratives, they give you a strike like they they remove
00:16:43
that content. Yeah, yeah.
00:16:46
And on top of it, look what the Democrats did during the
00:16:48
election. Look at the millions and
00:16:50
millions of dollars that was spent buying TikTok influencers.
00:16:54
Those influencers posted negatively about Donald Trump,
00:16:57
positively about Joe Biden, and they didn't tell anybody they
00:17:00
were getting paid. And there's a law that says they
00:17:03
were required to disclose if they received money from the
00:17:07
Democratic Party. They were supposed to say this
00:17:09
is a paid post, sponsored post, etcetera, because those are laws
00:17:12
by the FCC. They ignored that.
00:17:14
The Federal Election Commission ignored investigating because I
00:17:17
notified him about it. But that's my point.
00:17:19
All those people that took that money manipulated and lied to
00:17:23
the American public, they ought to face criminal charges, every
00:17:25
single one of them. I hope that somebody's going to
00:17:27
investigate that and go after those people because again, I
00:17:30
don't care whether it was Republicans or the Democrats or
00:17:32
the Republicans paid them, I want to see the same thing.
00:17:34
If those people didn't say this is a sponsored post or paid
00:17:36
post, I don't see any use. You know, as far as I'm
00:17:39
concerned, take TikTok and flush it down the toilet like the turd
00:17:42
it is. I want to do here do a quote
00:17:45
from a TikTok spokesperson said in a statement.
00:17:48
The Supreme Court has established historical record of
00:17:51
protecting Americans right to free speech and we expect they
00:17:54
will do just that on this important constitutional issue.
00:17:58
Well, like I just said earlier, they don't TikTok doesn't even
00:18:03
allow free speech on their platform.
00:18:05
Like I said, they'll. Bingo.
00:18:07
They'll give you strikes, they'll remove content and
00:18:10
whether it's and it's stuff that is true.
00:18:11
It's not like we're making stuff up.
00:18:15
Yeah. So.
00:18:17
Let's switch it up here and let's talk about this judicial
00:18:19
bombshell. Federal judge forces the FDA.
00:18:23
And this is a big one, guys. So listen closely to release
00:18:26
over 1 pages of Pfizer's COVID-19 trial documents.
00:18:30
Of course, everybody knows that Pfizer wanted to keep those
00:18:34
documents hidden for 75 years. George, what do you think about
00:18:38
this ruling? I'm liking this one.
00:18:39
I'm loving it. And and listen, it's there's an
00:18:43
old saying, if you got nothing to hide, you got nothing to
00:18:46
worry about, then why do you want to hide stuff?
00:18:48
Keep it from the public or anybody because I can.
00:18:53
I'm going to say those, those documents are going to show some
00:18:58
things that people are not ready to hear about or unwilling to
00:19:02
accept, but hopefully you will because that's, I mean a
00:19:07
million. Imagine going over 1
00:19:08
pages, the manpower and the time.
00:19:11
Yeah, but here's the, here's the, here's the crazy part about
00:19:14
it. They have to release it by June
00:19:16
30th, 2025. And the group that got that did
00:19:19
this, which you got to give them credit, is the Public Health and
00:19:21
Medical Professionals for Transparency, which goes by the
00:19:24
PHMPT. So they started with a FOIA on
00:19:28
this. And of course Pfizer said, no,
00:19:30
we're not going to give you that information.
00:19:31
We don't have to under the emergency, you know, emergency
00:19:35
authorization, you know, the Use Authorization Act.
00:19:38
And of course, that wasn't true. The FDA initially claimed it
00:19:42
would need up to 75 years to process and release the
00:19:45
requested documents, which is which is BS.
00:19:48
Why would they need that? The documents are already there.
00:19:49
All you got to do is put them out.
00:19:50
But they were coming up with all these excuses because they don't
00:19:53
want the American public to know about what Pfizer knew prior to
00:19:58
releasing and promoting the vaccine.
00:20:00
And I'm, you know, I'm guessing there's going to be some serious
00:20:03
bombshells in here. The FDA initially tried to argue
00:20:08
they would release 500 pages per month, but now that doesn't
00:20:12
work. That the judge is saying, Nope,
00:20:13
that's not going to work, we need it all in one lump sum.
00:20:15
Enough is enough. The question is why is the FDA
00:20:22
keeping this from the people, the public?
00:20:24
I understand why Pfizer is, but why is the FDA?
00:20:28
They work. Because the FDA owns patents and
00:20:31
the FDA is not what people think it is.
00:20:34
The Food and Drug Administration has not been what everybody
00:20:37
thinks of this for a very long time.
00:20:38
Why do they own patents for many pharmaceuticals and many, you
00:20:43
know, medical treatments? Why they shouldn't own anything.
00:20:47
FDA is supposed to be an oversight group.
00:20:49
It's not supposed to be anything that we're owns and makes money
00:20:51
off Big Pharma. The FDA is a government agency,
00:20:54
correct? Correct.
00:20:56
OK, so once again, the government wants to hide
00:20:59
information from us. You know, they, they don't think
00:21:01
we're, we can handle it as adults.
00:21:04
You know, just like they don't want to tell us about the aliens
00:21:06
and RFK or JFK being murdered. I mean, it's crazy.
00:21:15
Release the documents, release the information.
00:21:17
I think I'm old enough to to know whether I can handle
00:21:22
reading it or not if I can. The FDA does not need to be
00:21:25
George Ballantine's daddy, that's for sure.
00:21:27
That's ridiculous. And at the end of the day, the
00:21:29
FDA was trying to hide from the court in the plaintiff.
00:21:31
1 pages. That's right, guys. 1
00:21:34
pages of clinical trial documents from COVID-19 vaccine
00:21:38
clinical trials. And you know what that means?
00:21:39
If they want to hide it, it can't be any good.
00:21:41
So who has? So the FDA has these documents
00:21:43
in hand or Pfizer does? I would imagine both of them
00:21:47
have them. How do we know that they're not
00:21:49
going to try to doctor these documents before?
00:21:51
They we don't, we don't, well, we do one of those things.
00:21:56
We'll just have to wait and see and hope for the best.
00:21:58
They probably expect the worst 'cause you know, I don't trust
00:22:00
them at all. Either one of them.
00:22:02
Well, we do have. Though I think that's one of the
00:22:03
agencies. The Food and Drug Administration
00:22:05
is one of the agencies. If I was running the the
00:22:07
Department of Government Efficiency that I would get rid
00:22:09
of because there is just so much waste and so much corruption in
00:22:13
that department. I don't agree with it.
00:22:14
Well, a lot of people right now, George, are crying for justice
00:22:18
for Ashley Bad Babbitt. And you found a really
00:22:21
interesting story here. Tell me about it.
00:22:23
Well, you know the old man, that Lieutenant Michael Byrd who who
00:22:28
murdered Ashley Babbitt, you know, she was on the other side
00:22:31
of the door. She had no weapons in hand and
00:22:33
and he just shot her and killed her for no like for no reason.
00:22:37
Blatant. That's blatant murder.
00:22:39
And you know what? This is a problem with our
00:22:40
system because they get away with it.
00:22:42
Now, these internal emails reveal Democrats they're
00:22:45
actually bowing to birds demands after he killed Ashley Babbitt
00:22:50
And this you know what? And this gets it's, it's sad,
00:22:53
but this is true. They also been allocating him
00:22:57
funds for fallen or wounded officers.
00:23:00
Now, correct me if I'm wrong. He didn't fall.
00:23:02
He's not wounded, was he? Sounds like a bribe, doesn't it?
00:23:05
Right, that sounds like blackmail.
00:23:08
Sounds like a blackmail and a bribe to keep Bird quiet because
00:23:11
maybe he didn't want to tell the true story.
00:23:14
I mean, listen, Ashley Babbitt was an Air Force veteran.
00:23:17
She wasn't doing anything violent.
00:23:18
She was trying to climb through a narrow window and do it
00:23:20
barricaded entry. But the truth of the matter is,
00:23:23
at that point, there was they were peacefully protesting.
00:23:25
They wanted to go into the they wanted to go into Congress to
00:23:28
protest. It wasn't about going after
00:23:29
senators and congressmen. And she was unarmed.
00:23:33
He could have fired off a warning shot into the wall or
00:23:35
into the air. He didn't need to shoot her,
00:23:38
don't you think? Absolutely.
00:23:41
Listen, he could have shot her in her leg if he wanted to if
00:23:44
that was the case, but definitely could have fired off
00:23:47
a warning shot. But he didn't.
00:23:48
He just blatantly pointed a gun and shot her.
00:23:51
I mean, there was no one else around him at the time he could.
00:23:55
Why didn't he just run off and protect himself?
00:24:01
I don't know. We'll have to see.
00:24:02
Hopefully some goodwill come out of it.
00:24:04
Nothing good to. Come out of it.
00:24:06
Yeah, it's, it's a tough one for me.
00:24:08
I, I feel for Ashley Babbitt's family.
00:24:10
They're still living with this. He should have been criminally
00:24:12
charged and arrested and, and, and at least manslaughter, if
00:24:15
not homicide. So listen, you know that music
00:24:19
means we're going to take a short break here on the Big Ming
00:24:21
talk radio show. And of course, we'll be right
00:24:24
back with George Valentin and Lance Finance.
00:24:25
When we come back, we're going to talk about have you ever
00:24:27
wanted to get even with telemarketing scammers?
00:24:32
Did you ever think there's got to be a better way to deal with
00:24:34
these cronies? How do I have some fun and get
00:24:37
even? When we come back on the Big
00:24:39
Ming talk radio show, we're going to tell you how to do
00:24:41
that. All right, the big Meg talk
00:25:10
radio show is back. We're live in Denver, New York
00:25:13
City. We're your hosts, Lance
00:25:14
Migliaccio, George Valentin bringing you the tip of the
00:25:16
spear. We also got AI powered.
00:25:19
Grandmas are taking on the scammers.
00:25:22
This story is great. Finally, some retribution here
00:25:25
for everybody. I love it.
00:25:27
I don't like telemarketers. Nobody likes telemarketers.
00:25:32
But, you know, I don't know why the government keeps allowing
00:25:36
them to make these calls. This robo calling.
00:25:40
I, I mean, my phone, I have it set up where it tells me it's a
00:25:45
scam call or just that. And I just don't even pick it
00:25:47
up. I just send it right to
00:25:48
voicemail. But finally, people came up with
00:25:53
something, an AI, to outsmart these sneaky scammers.
00:25:58
Look, scam baiting is really bad, especially the way it seems
00:26:01
to focus on the elderly. But of course, for anybody that
00:26:03
doesn't know what scam baiting is, when someone interacts with
00:26:05
a scammer to waste their time and resources.
00:26:08
So I think it's great that somebody has figured out an
00:26:11
alternative. Scamming people is terrible and
00:26:13
this scam baiting is the best we've seen it on social media.
00:26:16
And I'll tell you what, I think it does matter because burning
00:26:19
up the clock on these people and keeping them on the phone,
00:26:22
you're doing benefit because maybe there isn't somebody else
00:26:24
that will get scammed because of it.
00:26:26
So the genius of this is this this AI granny is is is is
00:26:31
created to try to keep the scammers on the phone as long as
00:26:35
possible because she kind of makes it seem like she might be
00:26:38
vulnerable. So it's a great way to do it.
00:26:41
I love the way this AI powered grandma is working.
00:26:43
Let's play the clip, George. You got it.
00:26:45
Here we go, all. Right.
00:26:46
Are you ready to turn the tables on scammers?
00:26:48
I'm Kurt the Cyberguy. Follow me at cyberguy.com, where
00:26:51
my newsletter is free now. Have you ever heard of this?
00:26:53
It's called scam baiting. That's when someone interacts
00:26:56
with a scammer to waste their time and resources.
00:27:00
Some of these online experiences are entertaining and even
00:27:02
hilarious to watch. Now, instead of falling for
00:27:05
their sneaky tricks, scam baiters play along knowing it's
00:27:09
a scam and take the role of a potential victim to keep the
00:27:12
scammers busy. But get this, there's now some
00:27:16
new technology to do the scam baiting for you.
00:27:19
Her name is Daisy and she's an AI powered grandma developed by
00:27:23
Virgin Media O2 to interact with scammers.
00:27:27
I'm your worst nightmare. I'm an AI created by O2 to waste
00:27:32
phone scammers time. When a scam call comes in, Daisy
00:27:36
automatically answers and engages a caller in
00:27:39
conversation, wasting their time with her friendly personality
00:27:43
and quick thinking, she keeps him on the line while gathering
00:27:46
useful information about their tactics.
00:27:49
Now before you get too excited, Daisy is currently only
00:27:52
available for customers of Virgin Media O2 in the UK, but
00:27:56
other companies in the US are beginning to offer similar AI
00:27:59
driven solutions. So why should you care about
00:28:02
scam baiting? Well, there are a few good
00:28:04
reasons. First, it helps waste the
00:28:06
scammers time. Every minute they spend with
00:28:09
Daisy is a minute that they can't use to target someone
00:28:12
else. Second, scam baiting raises
00:28:15
awareness about common scams and helps educate other people about
00:28:19
how to avoid them. Plus, let's not forget watching
00:28:22
scammers get flustered can be really funny and eye opening.
00:28:27
Now while scam baiting can be a fun way to fight back against
00:28:30
scams, really the best defense is just to not pick up a phone
00:28:35
call or answer any of these scam calls in the 1st place.
00:28:39
One of the best ways to keep a scammer from finding you is to
00:28:42
consider investing in data removal services that wipe you
00:28:46
off the Internet's public databases.
00:28:48
More stay safe tips like this at cyberguy.com.
00:28:51
Hey, are you getting my newsletter?
00:28:52
You really should just click the red button when you open a
00:28:55
browser and go to cyberguide.com.
00:28:58
You know, there's a group of guys that you know, they're
00:29:02
actually on the good side. They're, they're hackers and
00:29:06
they go after these scam baiting people, companies, a lot of them
00:29:11
are in actually India and they'll disguise their voice
00:29:14
like a old grandma or old guy or, or whatever.
00:29:19
And while they're doing this and this company wants access, you
00:29:23
know, they, they tell you lock into your account.
00:29:25
Well, these guys, you know, let them.
00:29:26
But meanwhile they have software that combats that and, and they
00:29:30
actually hack into their systems and actually literally like
00:29:33
start shutting down their whole system and, and, and wipe it
00:29:37
out. And it's, it's funny.
00:29:39
It's actually, I love it. Yeah.
00:29:40
It's. Great.
00:29:40
I love, I love, I love anything that goes after those people
00:29:43
because I don't think it's good. I think going after innocent
00:29:45
victims like that is some of the most miserable crime there is.
00:29:48
Rotten human beings. I know a lot of it comes out of
00:29:50
Africa, also the Nigerians. Yeah, but also a long, but hold
00:29:54
on, I'm going to add to this for people so that they're aware.
00:29:56
Also you besides these calls, you also get emails or text
00:30:00
messages saying, for instance, your Amazon packaging arrived or
00:30:03
your United States Postal Service packaging arrived.
00:30:06
Click here and those are most of the time 99.9% a scam.
00:30:11
Or if you get an e-mail saying your PayPal account, I mean, all
00:30:14
you got to do is look at the addresses, where it's coming
00:30:16
from or the phone number and you'll you could tell and you.
00:30:20
Can always hang up and and literally or not answer that
00:30:24
e-mail and call those companies directly, but go online to find
00:30:27
the information. Don't use the resources they
00:30:28
provided there. So that's good advice, George.
00:30:30
I love it was a lot of talk. Everybody knows that the crypto
00:30:34
market's been on fire since Donald Trump was won his
00:30:38
election. The question is, and the
00:30:40
question is circulating a lot, is the cryptocurrency XRP, which
00:30:43
is Ripple, a millionaire maker. Of course, you know that XRP is
00:30:47
aiming to revolutionize the banking industry by offering a
00:30:50
global settlement and currency exchange system supposed to be
00:30:53
faster, 10 transactions per second and much, much cheaper.
00:30:58
The question is, is, is adoption?
00:31:00
It had some challenges early on. We know about the SEC lawsuit
00:31:03
that really hurt them. That now has been settled.
00:31:07
Gary Gensler. I know George isn't a fan and
00:31:10
I'm not a fan. He's out of there.
00:31:12
He's saying he's going to resign the 20th.
00:31:14
But I've heard that Donald Trump has told him by the time I get
00:31:16
sworn in, if you're not out of there, you're getting fired.
00:31:19
So we may see him out of there sooner.
00:31:22
Is is XRP ready to explode? George, what are your thoughts?
00:31:26
I think it's going to explode. You know, they're, they're a
00:31:30
very, very much so a transparent company.
00:31:33
But you know, we talked about this story the other day,
00:31:35
another intricate part, because back in August, Japan announced
00:31:39
its plans to implement XRP for all payments nationwide by 2025.
00:31:43
Well, guess what? We're less than 30 days from
00:31:46
2025. So we all know Japan's going to
00:31:49
do it while other countries are going to follow suit.
00:31:52
And I know when XRP was going through these frivolous DOJ
00:31:57
lawsuits that they're under NDA, but how, Lance, how many
00:32:02
countries or contracts that are waiting?
00:32:06
Yeah, I'm happy you brought that up because SEXRP, because of the
00:32:10
SEC lawsuits was not allowed to really promote or announce good
00:32:14
news. Now nobody really knows what
00:32:16
these contracts are, but there's over 3000 of them.
00:32:19
I understand there may be 3200 and change.
00:32:22
If you look at the, if you want to wanted to waste your time and
00:32:24
go through the entire SEC lawsuit, you'd find it in the
00:32:27
footnotes, but they're all under NDA.
00:32:30
So the only person that really knows what's in those contracts
00:32:32
would be the judge and of course the prosecutors.
00:32:35
So XRP is sitting on what would appear to be thousands of
00:32:41
announcements that they've never made.
00:32:43
And of course, when you know that XRP is all about
00:32:46
revolutionizing the banking system and you know that SWIFT
00:32:49
is probably going away or this is going to run on top of SWIFT
00:32:53
or parallel, maybe keep a small part of the SWIFT system, which
00:32:55
is the current banking communications.
00:32:58
You have to think about the, the fact that XRP, most companies
00:33:01
would die to have a couple of pieces of, of, of new news to
00:33:04
announce. XRP has got over 3000 of them.
00:33:07
So you have to think that even though there's going to be some
00:33:09
adoption challenges, how big is this for XRP and what's the
00:33:14
potential? A lot of people are calling XRP
00:33:16
the next Bitcoin. Is that true?
00:33:19
Well, the truth of the matter is Bitcoin doesn't have as much
00:33:22
utility by any means that XRP is, and it hasn't been really
00:33:25
adopted as much as XRP already has been.
00:33:29
So again, a lot of people say, you know, the blockchain,
00:33:33
Bitcoin needs the blockchain, but the blockchain doesn't need
00:33:35
Bitcoin. But the truth of the matter is
00:33:37
the blockchain does need XRP now, even though bitcoins, the
00:33:41
granddaddy of cryptocurrency and it's A and it's already exceeded
00:33:44
that 6 figure price that we all were talking about.
00:33:47
It hit 103 and change I think either yesterday or today.
00:33:52
I think as far as being an intriguing all coin that has a
00:33:54
tremendous amount of potential upside, you have to take XRP
00:33:58
serious, George. I mean, you do.
00:34:00
I mean, listen, we invested in it, so in it's just going to
00:34:05
take off. You know, I wonder if any of
00:34:07
those prosecutors or that judge bought any XRP knowing all those
00:34:11
contracts, I should try to find their wallets and see that even
00:34:15
if that's. Interesting, you know, but
00:34:16
again, let me say this to you guys.
00:34:17
This is not financial advice. And even though we own some XRP,
00:34:21
we bought it like many other cryptos, the big make show
00:34:23
invest in crypto because we believe in it.
00:34:26
But we are not giving you financial advice because you
00:34:28
don't want to talk to your own financial advisors.
00:34:30
And we always recommend that you do your own investigation.
00:34:32
But when you look at XRP taking aim at the banking industry and
00:34:36
you think about the amount of fees that are really potential
00:34:40
there, because let's face it, the fees in the banking industry
00:34:43
are literally billions and billions and billions of
00:34:46
dollars. And XRP can do it much less
00:34:48
expensively. Now that's not the only use of
00:34:50
XRP. They just came out with their
00:34:51
RLUSD stable coin. They're so I believe the
00:34:56
combination of Ripple, XRP and the stable coin, this may very
00:35:00
well be the next major banking solution.
00:35:04
And I think with those contracts that are in place, it really an
00:35:07
extra piece, very inexpensive right now.
00:35:09
It it doesn't hurt to have some just in case.
00:35:12
Some people are saying this coin is worth in the thousands.
00:35:16
Some people have alleged that this could be the next
00:35:18
$1 coin. I don't want to think about a
00:35:20
million, but let me tell you something.
00:35:21
If it goes to a couple thousand, it could really dramatically
00:35:24
change your life. And it doesn't need to be
00:35:26
adopted for banks to use it necessarily.
00:35:28
But I think they're going to because it's an easy, simple,
00:35:31
all in We got to thank our sponsors, run a few commercials
00:35:42
at the end of the day, the George Ballantine and Lance
00:35:45
Miliaccio, we're going to be here waiting for you when you
00:35:47
come back. And I think the important thing
00:35:49
is to know that when we come back, we're going to talk about
00:35:52
Brendan Carr and that impact on the FCC.
00:35:55

00:35:58
they're nervous. Stay tuned.

00:37:46
As gold and silver prices continue to surge and top
00:37:50
economist predict upcoming shortages, now is.
00:38:02
You know what time it is. It's time for the big Ming talk
00:38:04
radio show with your host Lance Migliacho and George Valentin to
00:38:08
bring you the news. The truth.
00:38:10
We are the tip of the spear now. Should broadcast media owners
00:38:17
worry about Brandon Carr, the new pick to run the FCC?
00:38:20
Brandon Carr is a choice to head the Federal Commission
00:38:24
Communications Commission, and he says he plans to scrutinize
00:38:28
broadcast TV operators to see if they are operating in the public
00:38:32
interest, which is a requirement that's tied to the 1934
00:38:36
Communications Act. You know, I could, I can tell
00:38:40
you right now I don't, I don't even need to read the ACT.
00:38:42
But if it says in public interest, they're guilty, guilty
00:38:47
as charged because we all know how the mainstream media is so
00:38:51
biased. And, you know, there's so many
00:38:53
things that they've done. We and we can go on and on,
00:38:56
like, you know, 60 minutes interview with Kamala Harris
00:39:00
where they where they cut, cut it, edit it and then, you know,
00:39:05
put out what you really said. I mean, there's so many
00:39:07
instances. Well, I think the public
00:39:10
interest would mean would mean fair reporting, wouldn't it?
00:39:13
You'd have to think that that 1934 Communications Acts would
00:39:16
have to be that they just wanted to be reported freely and fairly
00:39:20
and evenly, but that's not what we see currently.
00:39:22
So many of the stations MSNBCCNN they only want to interview the
00:39:26
one side and they only put one sided tilt on it.
00:39:29
Now I think. The difficulty comes in this is
00:39:31
that there's some of this that when you look at you have to
00:39:34
really have an oversight body. Now, the FCC is supposed to be
00:39:36
that oversight body, but they haven't been that oversight body
00:39:39
for a very, very long time. And in fact, I believe they
00:39:43
insulate and protect these stations, along with many people
00:39:48
online that I believe are violating the law, like social
00:39:50
media influencers. So I hope Brendan Carr doesn't
00:39:53
just focus on TV operators. I hope he focuses on people that
00:39:57
took money to promote specifically these last two
00:40:02
election cycles. And I'm talking about Joe Biden
00:40:05
and Kamala Harris. I'm talking about who the people
00:40:07
they paid, the social media influencers that never told
00:40:10
people they were being paid. I'm talking about the stations
00:40:12
that got paid. You know, you got to look at
00:40:15
Harpo Productions. When you look at what Oprah
00:40:19
Winfrey did, she was paid $10 million to hold that town hall.
00:40:22
Well, she did it through Harpo Communications.
00:40:25
What about them? Are we going to investigate
00:40:26
them? I think we have to.
00:40:28
And I don't know exactly What Car means here.
00:40:30
You know, I'm not sure exactly what he has in mind, But I think
00:40:34
what's important about this is that he's got a plan about
00:40:37
enforcing public interest obligations.
00:40:39
And I think he's right. Now, should these stations be
00:40:43
concerned? Oh, absolutely, yes.
00:40:44
How about the ones that took money from George Soros or
00:40:48
Alexander Soros? How about the ones who were paid
00:40:50
to disseminate information? I don't like this Odyssey news
00:40:54
purchased by George Soros. And I don't like the way the SEC
00:40:57
is expediting it. Is he going to investigate that?
00:40:59
Because that falls under his scrutiny.
00:41:01
So I think there's a lot of, listen, these aren't sacred cows
00:41:05
at the end of the day, they all need to be examined.
00:41:08
And I think we have to focus on what's right for the country and
00:41:12
lying, conniving news and people that are involved in that.
00:41:17
Even social media platforms like the Zuckerbucks, I want
00:41:21
Zuckerberg to face consequences for the Zuckerbucks.
00:41:23
I think all those things need to be investigated by car.
00:41:26
What do you think, George? Well.
00:41:28
Funny that you brought up Zuckerbucks because recently you
00:41:30
seen Zuckerberg cozying up to president-elect Trump, aren't
00:41:34
you? I wonder why but.
00:41:36
Brandon, yeah. Brandon Carr said this is him
00:41:39
saying. He said Democrats have been in
00:41:41
charge of administrative state, the alphabet soup of agencies in
00:41:45
DC, for at least 12 of the last 16 years.
00:41:49
And over those 12 years, government control has increased
00:41:53
and your freedoms have decreased.
00:41:55
It is time to flip the script in Washington.
00:41:58
So if that doesn't give you a statement of what what he's?
00:42:04
It gives me hope because. He said he has another quote
00:42:07
where he said, I'm just, I'm, I'm just saying follow the law.
00:42:10
I mean, this law has not been has been on the books for a long
00:42:13
time. It's not my decision to hold
00:42:15
broadcasters to a public interest obligation.
00:42:17
It's Congress. And if you don't like that, then
00:42:19
they should go to Congress and change the law.
00:42:21
But these laws are in place. And let me say something.
00:42:23
It doesn't matter if they change the law right now because the
00:42:26
law that held when they were doing it would already still be
00:42:29
in place, so changing it now isn't going to close the
00:42:31
bathroom door. The stinks already out.
00:42:34
These companies need to be investigated and we need
00:42:36
accountability and consequences for all of them.
00:42:38
And if that means MSNBC and CNN lose their license to broadcast,
00:42:43
so be it. George, you love this guy.
00:42:47
I got to say this. You love this guy a bunch.
00:42:50
I think he's great. You and I have been talking
00:42:52
about Bitcoin quite a bit. We know it hit a brand new high
00:42:55
of $103. Bitcoin has been on the topic of
00:43:00
many, many people. Michael Saylor is just doubling
00:43:03
down. Even Rumble, even our home base
00:43:06
for the big, big show as is investing or has invested $20
00:43:10
million in Bitcoin. And then sack the new Bitcoin AI
00:43:15
czar. He's on the board of directors
00:43:17
for Rumble. So the world is a small place,
00:43:20
but I love what the El Salvador president is doing, brother.
00:43:23
I mean, so do I, and he's done so much for the country
00:43:27
recently. But I just want to give you guys
00:43:30
an instance what he's done. So El Salvador was so crime
00:43:34
burning. It was you wouldn't even want to
00:43:36
travel there. That's how unsafe it is because
00:43:39
the gangs were taking over and he, when he became president, he
00:43:43
said enough is enough. He built prisons and took all
00:43:46
the gang members and locked them all up.
00:43:49
They're in there for life. They didn't go nowhere.
00:43:51
And if you see the documentary on it, they're just housing this
00:43:54
unit. I mean, there is no movement.
00:43:58
There is no trying to get cell phones because you have to go
00:44:01
through certain sections of metal detectors, even the
00:44:04
guards. He's got it on strict lockdown.
00:44:07
So he's doing what's good for the country.
00:44:08
He's a smart guy. And by doing this, by taking on
00:44:13
Bitcoin and his investment in it, I mean, how he look, what
00:44:19
he's done, that's that's just unbelievably smart and great.
00:44:23
And by the way, I just want to let people know, I don't know if
00:44:25
you know their slants. He's not even Spanish.
00:44:27
You know, the president of Al Salvador is, I believe he's,
00:44:32
he's Arabic. I don't know if he's Lebanese,
00:44:33
but he's Arabic, you know? From what?
00:44:35
What? I did.
00:44:36
I did not know that. You know, listen, I love the
00:44:39
stance this guy has taken. He's turned the country around.
00:44:42
I mean, El Salvador is now one of the safest places in the
00:44:45
world because specifically because of Naive.
00:44:47
And I think that's important. I think it's important to show
00:44:50
how quickly a good president and good leadership can change a
00:44:54
country. I mean, he's literally done this
00:44:55
in, what, a year and a half? And then I think what's genius
00:44:59
of him is he looked at El Salvador and said, what aren't
00:45:01
we doing correctly? How are we not empowering our
00:45:04
people? How are we not supporting our
00:45:05
people to have strong businesses and have a strong economy?
00:45:09
And he right away said he was going to adopt Bitcoin.
00:45:11
I don't know what his initial investment was, but I know that
00:45:14
now that reported investment that he has for the country is
00:45:17
$600 million. So it grew quite a bit.
00:45:22
And I think what's really, really great about this is then
00:45:24
he did this promotion, which I thought was just unbelievable.
00:45:28
You got to remember this. Let me let me back up here for a
00:45:30
minute. Two years ago, Bitcoin, it was
00:45:32
very volatile and it it, it was actually had fallen to $16.
00:45:37
And then of course, it went from there and it went up to 60, some
00:45:40
thousand, and then it fell back to 30.
00:45:43
But of course, here we are now and it's just rocking along
00:45:47
doing what it's doing. Bitcoins just cranking.
00:45:49
A lot of people think we're going to see $1 Bitcoin
00:45:52
in our lifetime. I wouldn't be surprised at the
00:45:54
rate it's going. But you, Kelly, did the right
00:45:57
thing here. He jumped in and then he did
00:46:00
this promotion that I thought was incredible, George.
00:46:02
He offered everybody that would sign up for a digital crypto
00:46:06
wallet $30.00 in Bitcoin. Now, I know a lot of those
00:46:10
people didn't hold it. A lot of those people quickly
00:46:12
cashed out. But what a cool way to try to
00:46:15
get people involved, right? Really, I mean, it's a great
00:46:19
way. I mean, I mean unbelievably
00:46:22
smart and intelligent, but we went on about how much so El
00:46:26
Salvador, their their their reported investment of Bitcoin
00:46:30
now stands at more than 600 million.
00:46:33
And that was from like a day ago.
00:46:35
So everybody knows. So they're saying they, they're
00:46:40
sitting on a like over a little, just a little over 300 million
00:46:43
plus profit. So that will kind of tell you
00:46:46
how much they invest in Bitcoin. But man, I, I truthfully, when
00:46:52
some of these countries are going towards Bitcoin, when it's
00:46:54
really volatile and jumped down to what like 30, I was like,
00:46:57
oh man, these countries are going to take, they're going to
00:46:59
go bankrupt. But you know, they, they're
00:47:02
smart. They held on to whoever did and
00:47:05
look where they're at now. I would have never thought it
00:47:08
would. Reach people regrets.
00:47:11
The people that cashed out their Bitcoin have regrets, but the
00:47:13
cool part is by giving them the wallet, getting them involved,
00:47:16
giving them the Bitcoin, who knows how many of these people
00:47:18
maybe invested more of the money.
00:47:20
I know people in you know, El Salvador don't have a ton of
00:47:22
money, but maybe some of these people got deeply involved.
00:47:25
And if you think about this, imagine if they did that here in
00:47:27
the United States. Imagine if they gave they told
00:47:29
everybody to sign up for a Bitcoin while they were going to
00:47:31
give them 50 bucks. All we have to do is stop
00:47:33
sending money to Ukraine. They could easily do it.
00:47:35
At the end of the day, it's too bad that the Social Security
00:47:38
fund didn't invest in Bitcoin, right?
00:47:41
Maybe they could have repaid that $2.2 trillion that the
00:47:45
government took out of Social Security where your mom and my
00:47:47
mom would be getting more money. Maybe they could have invested
00:47:50
some of the some of the Social Security fund into Bitcoin,
00:47:53
Ethereum, and maybe some of the other crypto market.
00:47:54
And maybe they could have accumulated more money, so the
00:47:57
payments would be bigger because the payments and Social Security
00:48:00
for the elderly have not kept up with inflation well.
00:48:03
So it's horrendous. And everybody knows this.
00:48:05
Hold on. We've all got an aging an aging
00:48:07
person in our family, whether it's her father or mother or
00:48:09
somebody else, a brother or sister.
00:48:12
But since you brought up hold on, since you brought up Social
00:48:14
Security, I just want to add this real quick.
00:48:16
So recently Democrats have been putting out information that
00:48:20
Republicans want to cut Social Security because the Dodge
00:48:24
Committee, you know, Department of Government Efficiency, Elon
00:48:28
Musk and Ramaswami have said they want to work on Social
00:48:33
Security. And they're automatically
00:48:35
turning that into like, they want to, you know, cut their
00:48:38
benefits. No, they want to cut the waste
00:48:41
that's going on with Social Security.
00:48:42
They're looking their statements, they said that
00:48:45
people that's supposed to be getting this are not getting it.
00:48:47
Why? Where's that money going to?
00:48:49
So it's they're not cutting anybody's benefits.
00:48:52
We actually want to cut the government wasteful spending
00:48:55
where people can actually get more money all.
00:48:58
Right, well, listen, we're just just about out of time, you know
00:49:01
the home base for the Big Mink Show.
00:49:03
You can catch us over on Rumble and of course, locals.
00:49:05
You definitely want to sign up or subscribe over there.
00:49:08
Great place to catch all our extra interviews and lots of
00:49:10
other fresh material. At the end of the day, if you're
00:49:13
not following G Ballantine on X, you're making a mistake because
00:49:16
he's always in the game. And of course, we've also got
00:49:18
the Big Mink Show and Lance Miliaccho on X.
00:49:21
You can also to find us on every other social media platform
00:49:24
under Lance Miliaccio, George Valentin and the Big Ming Show.
00:49:28
And don't forget, we're here every Saturday and Sunday on the
00:49:33
big Mig talk radio show. You're going to want to be here.
00:49:36
Don't miss it. Cutting edge tip of the spear.
00:49:39
Because if liberty means anything at all, it means the
00:49:41
right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
00:49:44
We're out of here, George Valentin.
00:49:46
Yes we are. God bless.
00:49:47
Have a great weekend.
