The Ron Edwards American Experience-240204

[00:00:00] Morally straight, politically incorrect, and just plain great. It's the Ron Edwards American Experience. On with the show, this is it. And away we go.

[00:00:20] Say A, say L, say E, say R, say I C, say A, yeah.

[00:00:41] Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Ron Edwards American Experience talk show where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now, your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards.

[00:01:22] Well, well, well. Hello and how are you? I'm Ron Edwards and welcome to this edition of the Ron Edwards American Experience. Glad to be with you from throughout America and around the world. Yep, good news. Patrick Kohlbeck is here. He's going to be joining us in conversation in just a little bit. We're going to get his take on a few of the major issues affecting our great republic. Good news. Also, Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for director of national intelligence was approved by the Senate Intelligence Committee

[00:01:51] after Republican senators dismissed any concerns they had to vote against her. The vote was split along party lines with nine yays and eight nays. The two potential GOP holdouts who could have derailed Gabbard's nomination, Todd Young of Indiana and Susan Collins of Maine, announced in the 11th hour that they will support Gabbard.

[00:02:19] And also, additionally, the full Senate vote, 52 to 46, to invoke cloture, cloture rather, to advance Pam Bondi's confirmation as U.S. Attorney General to a final Senate vote. The final Senate floor vote to confirm Pam Bondi could come as early as tomorrow. It's unclear if the full Senate vote on Gabbard and RFK Jr. will be this week.

[00:02:45] Still supporters of President Trump are blowing up the Senate's phone lines, and I'll be having some numbers for you to jingle in just a bit on the show. And, you know, as we're looking around and we see all these things going on, I like Trump's tariffs. You know this if you've been listening to this broadcast. In fact, yesterday, was it yesterday or the day before yesterday,

[00:03:12] we had a little bit of a school lesson on the history and the worthiness of tariffs and going all the way back to the time of President McKinley. And so I think it is what it is. And, of course, yes, he was confirmed to move ahead to the final vote. I'm talking to my producer there.

[00:03:38] Anyway, Tulsi Gabbard, you know, she has had some concerns that have popped up, and I also brought some of those concerns up as well about her communist background, especially when she was in Hawaii, very close to Bernie Sanders. But I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. She has said many of the right things, and people can't change.

[00:04:07] And if she has sincerely changed, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt because based upon what she has said leading up to today, she knows right from wrong concerning government in this country. And I just pray that she stays on the right side, as she claims.

[00:04:31] Trump, the president, must stick to his guns and dismantle the Department of Education. Got to. In fact, he's already set to begin that process. He's set to sign a fresh set of executive orders amid reports that he will kick off his election campaign vow to gut the Federal Education Department. Trump cannot abolish the Department without approval of Congress, however,

[00:05:01] which he is unlikely to get. But U.S. media reported that he would issue orders to effectively dismantle it from the inside. The White House confirmed that Trump is due to sign the latest in a slew of executive orders since his assumption to power on January 20th, but did not specify what they are. Now, the reports came amid a wider blitz on the federal government led by Elon Musk,

[00:05:29] the world's richest man, which had effectively shuttered the USAID, Humanitarian Aid Agency, on Monday. Thank God for that. And these things that they are doing, they must follow it up. They must follow it up. Again, I'll say it. They must follow it up by having these things encased in law so that when Mr. Trump exits,

[00:05:59] if there, God forbid, is a Democrat that follows behind Trump, that they cannot just quickly reverse it. Because if it is law and let's say, if God forbid, a Democrat replaces Mr. Trump. And the Republicans hold on to the House, they won't be voting to turn, you know, the entire law around. And so it's, you know, like the first term.

[00:06:28] Remember all the wonderful things that Trump did? He did a lot of great things. But yeah. And soon as Biden, Uncle Joe got in there, he did what? He turned, he reversed all those wonderful orders. So he's setting the table. He's doing the right thing, getting all these things reversed quickly so we can get the country on a better footing.

[00:06:53] And then he's got to turn around, go to Congress and twist their arms. And, you know, make sure that they are turned into law so that they cannot be reversed. Amongst other things, I think I covered this earlier, but I'll do it again.

[00:07:21] Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for director of national intelligence was approved by the Senate Intelligence Committee today after Republican senators dismissed concerns that they'd vote against her. The vote was split along party lines with nine yays and eight nays.

[00:07:44] It seems that the new U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia has busted a unique Chinese spying operation. And I understand, you know, the tit for tat that's going on with the tariff situation between China and the United States. In my humble opinion, Mr. Trump was correct in putting forth these tariffs.

[00:08:11] And we knew that China was going to follow suit and enact tariffs. And as far as I'm concerned, what else is new? The trade situation that this nation has with China is totally unfair anyway, at least from our vantage point. And, you know, you know, you have to understand that it was negotiated by stupid people that did not have America's best interest at heart.

[00:08:41] They had more of a positive interest for. China than our own country. So we understand that. But it's time for someone to stand up and say, you know what? A change has to come. And with change, sometimes there's a little headache. But that's OK. That is OK. Because if we hold the line with China, we will win.

[00:09:09] Because as it's been standing, the current trade situation with China. It would lead to our economic destruction in the long run anyway. And it would destroy us with the fentanyl, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And a lot of people think that, oh, these tariffs are going to hurt Mexico or whatever. Because a lot of they say that a lot of our auto parts come from Mexico. But here's the real deal.

[00:09:37] Most of the auto parts are actually made in China. And then they're shipped. To Mexico, where they, you know, maybe the final process is put together and then they're shipped to the United States, pretending that they. That they come originally from from Mexico. Same thing in Canada. So we have to stop being stupid when it comes to these trade situations.

[00:10:06] Well, one person that's not stupid, a literal rocket science, will be joining us right after this on the Ron Edwards American Experience. The kid has class, taste, finesse. The Ron Edwards American Experience. A charter member of the emerging new mainstream media.

[00:12:56] This is Patrick Kolbeck and you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. Blowing away the myths and revealing the truth.

[00:13:25] This is the Ron Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards. Welcome back. Our guest today is Patrick J. Kolbeck. He's an American engineer, author, and politician. And he's a former Republican member of the Michigan Senate. Having represented a northwest portion of Wayne County from 2011 to 2019.

[00:13:44] After reaching the two-term limit in the Michigan Senate, Kolbeck unsuccessfully ran for the Republican nomination for governor of Michigan in 2018, where he came in third, receiving 13% of the vote. And Michigan has paid the price ever since. Hello, Mr. Kolbeck, and welcome back. How are you, sir? Oh, great to be with you, Ron. How are you doing? Good, good, good.

[00:14:11] Well, you know, I'm sure you're up on the issues of the day concerning our Republican. The things that President Trump is doing at a very fast pace, by the way, which is something that is needed. What do you think about his nominations, particularly Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.?

[00:14:37] Well, as you know, one of my main focus points over the last four years has been election integrity. And I'd like to point all your listeners to the congressional hearing for Pam Bondi, who has been nominated to be our attorney general.

[00:14:55] And I think people should understand what the number one topic of inquiry was from the Democrat senators, particularly Adam Schiff, regarding Pam Bondi. And I don't know if you recall what it was. I'll give you a chance to chime in on that before I do. But guess what the number one topic of inquiry was? It was.

[00:15:22] I'm not as stupid as Adam Schiff, so I think you better go for it. No. Well, the number one topic was a 2020 election. They wanted to corner into saying that Joe Biden was legitimately elected in 2020. And whenever Pam Bondi was asked that question, she says, well, I can't testify to that. But what I can testify to is what I witnessed firsthand when I was in Pennsylvania in the wake of the 2020 election.

[00:15:51] And they never let her go off and go into the details of what she witnessed in Pennsylvania. So from my perspective, I'm very excited about the direction things are headed in, not just with the nominations like Pam Bondi, with Pete Hegseth, with Cash Patel. I'm not just excited about that. And RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. They're all headed in the right direction, and they all are reformers.

[00:16:19] They are all doing what needs to be done right now. We're not waiting for four years to go off and recalibrate. They're doing it right out of the get-go. And I'm excited. And just another thing to point you to, on the first day when Trump was signing all those executive orders, he realized that at least nine of those executive orders had direct or indirect impact upon the integrity of our elections.

[00:16:48] They were all in positive direction towards that end. And so a lot of people, I want to make sure everybody understands that Trump has learned from what happened in 2020, and we're gearing up to make sure that we've got secure elections going forward starting in 2026. Yeah.

[00:17:09] And, you know, when it comes to secure elections, not only concerning the election of our representatives and senators, et cetera, but what the people in Congress are electing, what choices they are making. And I'm very concerned that the astute Republicans are not going to be so eager to make some of the wonderful things

[00:17:37] that President Trump is pressing forward with through executive orders. I'm not very convinced that they will turn them into law. For instance, doing away with the Department of Education. I think that would go a long way toward permanently saving our republic. And I know a lot of Republicans are very, very statist-oriented, just like Democrats. That's why it's called a uniparty.

[00:18:06] And I'm very concerned that they're going to fight him on these very, very crucial issues. What say you? Well, politics is a strange animal. You know, and you cited at the beginning here that I served in the Michigan Senate for eight years. And when a certain mindset is established in the public,

[00:18:31] and when you are consistently winning and moving forward and charging forward in momentum, a lot of people want to get on that train, including legislators. And I think that the response to what President Trump has been doing and how he came out of the gate swinging has generated a lot of enthusiasm in the electorate. And it's the electorate that still ostensibly elects these congressmen, elects these U.S. senators into office.

[00:19:01] So I think there's a – I think they're going to be caught up in the wake, if you – so to speak, on – of all the momentum that President Trump has going forward. So I think it's going to be very, very difficult for them to push back on it. And President Trump has a pretty good track record of taking out anybody who is not on the Trump train in primaries. So a lot of these folks are not going to want those primaries.

[00:19:31] So I think I'm a little bit more optimistic, I guess, Ron. Okay. All right. Well, you have a good reason to be a little more optimistic. But I've seen some of the comments – I've got a lot of optimism stored up over the last four years. I haven't had a chance to discharge any optimism over the last four years. But now it's all coming out. Oh, yeah.

[00:19:54] But, you know, people like Susan Collins and other very astute middle-of-the-road types, you know, they carry themselves as if they're above everyone else as far as principles and everything like that. But they very often, no matter what's going on, like to show that they can compromise with the Republicans. And then you have people like Murkowski, which I hope she gets primaried out right away. Murkowski is crazy.

[00:20:24] As far as I'm concerned, what say you? Well, there's going to be a lot of investigations happening, a lot of investigations pertinent to certain election results. And in particular in Alaska, where Murkowski came out of, they implemented something that was – an election called ranked choice voting. I know there's a lot of controversy over exactly how that election was conducted and what the results were.

[00:20:49] So I think that's going to be dangling over the heads of some of these legislators, like Senator Murkowski, because she's not going to want an election to be overturned in any way, shape, or form, or reflected poorly upon her so that she can't win her next re-election. So I think there are a lot of incentives for these guys to start playing ball, and we'll see what happens.

[00:21:16] But ultimately, this is about respecting the will of the people, and there's no doubt that President Trump got a mandate from the American people in this last election. This is not time for politics as usual, and he's going to just drive a Mack truck over anybody that gets in his way right now. And I think a lot of Americans have been looking for that. Well, you know, even though this is a national show, Michigan is an important swing state.

[00:21:43] And there's a lot of things that have been going on in Michigan for a long time under this administration, Governor Whichmer and her gal pals, and the nefarious activities that they've been engaged in, they really concern me. And then you have Pete, Pete Buttigieg, who is a Michigan resident, he and his hubby, he's thinking about running for Gary Peter's seat.

[00:22:11] I just find that very interesting. What say you? Well, I'm not interested in it at all. I don't want to see him anywhere near the U.S. Senate. But there definitely have been a lot of chicanery going on here in the state of Michigan. And the good news is, in that last election, the Republicans retained control or regained control of the Michigan House. And one of the unique things that they did when that happened was that they adjusted the House rules to give permanent subpoena authority

[00:22:41] to the Michigan House Oversight Committee. What does that mean? That means that even though the Democrats retained control of the Senate, even though the Democrats controlled the Attorney General and the Secretary of State and the Governor's office, we have this little enclave in the Michigan House where they can actually go off and investigate all the claims that have been dismissed by the Attorney General, by the Secretary of State and by the Governor,

[00:23:11] regarding what happens in our elections and what's happening overall in our state. And there's been a lot of malfeasance. And I'll just give you one low-hanging fruit item here. And it deals with bribery. And I tell you, it looks like bribery, talks like bribery, feels like bribery, and meets the legal definition of bribery. But what happened in during the, right before, in the lead up to the 2024 election,

[00:23:39] we had a lawsuit that was dating back to the 2022 election, actually, in O'Halloran v. Benson, where we were challenging the poll challenger guidelines provided by the Secretary of State. They were patently unlawful, unlawful, and they effectively made poll challenging outlawed in the state of Michigan, the way that they were written. So we had one in two court cases,

[00:24:07] first in the Court of Claims and the Court of Appeals. And then Michigan Secretary of State, who's the main defendant in that case, appealed it to the Michigan Supreme Court. Well, while this case was before the Michigan Supreme Court... Folks, we're in conversation with Patrick Kolbeck. This is the Run Edwards American Experience. We'll be right back after this.

[00:24:46] Ron Edwards, the new voice of America. Recently, President Trump addressed the World Economic Forum, and it was plain to see that the United States will no longer be playing footsies with the globalist elites. Hello, I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:25:15] On today's Face from the Edwards Notebook, brought to you by Root Brands Premium Products for Your Body and Soul, at the WEF gathering, a few globalist leaders expressed shock and disappointment over the resurgence of President Trump, who they had written off as politically dead. Trump was presidential but very firm in his presentation of the beginning of America's new golden age. The president vowed to make the United States a manufacturing superpower by lowering the corporate tax rate to 15%

[00:25:45] and getting rid of Biden-era regulations that were designed to literally inhibit business activity overall, including manufacturing. It was refreshing to tell the globalist WEF leaders, who support giving human rights to mountains and rivers while denying the inalienable rights of unborn human babies, that woke insanity and leftist censorship is over. I would advise the president to deal wisely while embarking on his goal to make the United States

[00:26:14] into the AI and crypto world capital. But overall, good job, Mr. President. I'm Ron Edwards. Join me live weekdays, 3 p.m. Eastern, to find out where, go to the ronedwards.com.

[00:27:42] Lancashire's Lighthouse Radio. LibertyTalk.fm. Ron Edwards, the new voice of America.

[00:28:18] And we're back, and this is the Ron Edwards American Experience, and we're in conversation with Patrick Kolbeck, who has taken time out of his busy schedule to be with us today. Patrick, I'm sorry about having to cut you off there at the bottom of the hour, but as you were, sure. Yeah, well, sorry about that. It was a long lead-up because I've got to be careful on the legal implications of everything I've stated on this, but the bottom line is our Michigan Secretary of State, Jocelyn We Will Come For You Benson,

[00:28:47] she was found in violation of law by two courts unanimously, and then her case was appealed. She appealed her case up to the Michigan Supreme Court, and while her case was before the Michigan Supreme Court, she made an $82,500 contribution to the campaign committee for one of the Supreme Court justices that was going to be hearing her case, Justice Kyra H. Bolden. And as it turns out,

[00:29:16] that Justice Bolden ended up writing the majority opinion after receiving that contribution in favor of Jocelyn Benson and overturning the previously unanimous decisions against Jocelyn Benson. So if it walks like bribery, talks like bribery, it certainly seems like bribery to me, and that's what we're dealing with in Michigan, which is why it's so encouraging when we see that the Michigan House Oversight Committee

[00:29:42] has been granted permanent subpoena authority. So now we have another avenue to get to the heart of what's really going on in Michigan politics, and I think that's a reason for optimism. Okay. Now, it had been brought to my attention that, yeah, that even though Republicans have taken over the House, it seems that there has been some squabbling about the fact that, according to some, that true conservatives

[00:30:11] have been pushed out, especially if they were Christian-oriented conservatives, and now you have more of the, I guess, Republicans that are in the image of certain families that are noted families that are on the west side of the state, DeVos, and others. Let's say you. Well, I can tell you one thing that the, my dear friend,

[00:30:40] Christina Caramo, she was elected chair a couple years back, and she was subject to a coup by the people you're talking about. And they, I believe, illegitimately removed her from serving as a chair of the Michigan Republican Party, and they promptly put in somebody that fit the description you're talking about. So, yeah, the Michigan Republican Party is a bit in shambles right now, which is why I keep focusing on the good stuff,

[00:31:09] which is the fact that the Michigan House has definitely got their conservative pants on, and they're doing some good things. And also, when I look at what is happening nationally under President Trump, I get pretty darn excited. And I don't want to, essentially, I'm in that mode where you accentuate the positive and the words of, accentuate the positive and don't worry about the negative. You know the old song

[00:31:38] that goes on there. I think it was Ella Fitzgerald sang that song. And I think there's a lot to focus on that's good, and I refuse to put any energy towards all the bad stuff that's going on, because I think we can push so much good stuff with the momentum that the president's leading us with right now that all that bad stuff can kind of get over, run over in the dust, if you know what I mean.

[00:32:09] And that sounds very good. And I hope you're right, because no one would be happier than yours truly, that if this positive momentum which is going now can continue. And because, you know, it's been stated that the president needs to go scorched earth, meaning no backing down, no compromising, where you see wrong, oppose it with total right principles

[00:32:39] without any compromise. And I think if we do it this time around, we will win. And the United States can be set up for a long, long time of greatness. I really do. Because they're attacking it from so many directions, not just one here and one there, but I mean, they're really going after the root, a lot of the root causes of our situation that we've been dealing with, whether it's internationally and domestically as well.

[00:33:08] I like the fact that Trump is, you know, standing up for Panama, the Panama Canal, that is, and standing up against adversaries around the world. And I loved what he did this past Saturday, visited some ISIS warriors, if I'm just using the term loosely there, and showed them what it's like, what can happen to you if you come after Americans. And I think that's a good thing. And that sends a message around the world,

[00:33:38] you better watch out because the United States Eagle is going to check its list and find out who's naughty and nice and you may get a visit. And he showed that this past Saturday. What say you? Well, I think he took a play out of the Democrats' handbook. If you've ever heard of the Cloward-Piven strategy, the football analogy is flood the zone, right? And so what he's done is flood the zone. And his first couple weeks in office,

[00:34:06] he has been relentless at overwhelming and overpowering the opposition. I mean, and to the point where he's even getting Colombian presidents to acquiesce before he finishes the front nine while golfing. So he's doing a great job on that front. And I think that's encouraging. And I think it's all, right now, we're in this phase where he's just setting up all the chess pieces on the board. I think stay tuned

[00:34:35] for his announcement and his speech before Congress on March 4th. I think there's going to be some major revelations shared with the American people on that date. And ultimately, I agree with Patrick Byrne and others who say that this is going to be the year of accountability. And folks like myself who've been yearning for the people that have been engaged in the subversion of our system of government to be held accountable, it's finally going to happen. Yeah.

[00:35:06] You know, one thing that I, that really, really made me joyful this morning, I was looking at a news broadcast and they were showing how clean the New York City streets are all of a sudden. There are no illegals, there's no tents, there's no... Yeah, I thought it too. Yeah. Yeah. On 6th Street, and I know those areas very well, used to live there in New York, and it was just... I used to work there every day myself, yeah. Yeah.

[00:35:35] And it was just so great to see the areas all cleaned out, looking normal, looking like New York, the New York that I knew. No bums, no... And they're, you know, they're in hiding, I understand that, because they don't want to get shipped off. But I think that they all need to go. I understand that there's a lot of people that want to conflate the two, illegal and legal immigration into our country.

[00:36:05] And see, when it comes to immigration, Patrick, I want to get your thoughts on this. I believe that, of course, we've got to stop illegal border crossing as quick as possible, 100%. But if it were up to me, I would stop legal immigration into this country for five years. And the reason why is because that gives the legal immigrants who are here time to get assimilated into our republic.

[00:36:34] Because if you have a million point two coming in every single year that are legal, it doesn't give the people that are here already time to get assimilated into our country. And I think after five years, you resume legal immigration into this country. And I would keep it around 250,000, maybe a half million a year. Maybe, well, actually 250,000 would be enough. No illegal. And then every 10 years or so, you take a couple

[00:37:04] of years break for assimilation purposes. What say you? Well, I think that ties into yet another one of President Trump's executive orders. And it deals with education and teaching our kids to love America again. And so, while I'm definitely share your concerns around making sure that immigrants understand what it's like to be America, I would submit that some of the most passionate freedom advocates that I've ever met are the folks who are actually

[00:37:34] immigrating to the United States. They know what it's like where they're living and when they come to the United States, they know how good we have it. I'm actually more concerned, I've got to admit, with the generations of kids who have been brought up under this indoctrination that's been happening in our school system that's led to programs like the DEI programs and led to the LGBTQ rights as a civil right pushes and the political activism that they're promoting inside our schools. So,

[00:38:03] I've got to admit, I'm a little bit more worried about the kids who have been brought up here because I don't think they have the necessary appreciation for how good they really have it as Americans. You know what, I agree with you, but I think they're equally important because when your nation is overflooded by foreigners every year, every year, and there's no time for them to catch up, and at the same time,

[00:38:33] of course, and in fact, the greatest nations throughout history that were taken down, they were actually taken down internally, including the great Roman Empire. So, your point is valid. Yeah, and there's obviously election integrity aspect of closing the borders like you were talking about. I mean, I think, so I agree with you as well on that, that we should look at a, you know, exactly what are people

[00:39:03] being brought in to do when they're being trafficked across the border illegally. I mean, because it's obvious, and this has been shown time and time again, Democrats are doing that deliberately so that they can subvert the integrity of our elections, and once again, back here in Michigan, out in Dearborn, Michigan, we had a doctor that was overhearing a conversation that from, I think it was one of our secretary of state offices, advising an

[00:39:33] immigrant voter that they could not only vote in the county that they were a resident, but they could vote in another county. Yep.

[00:44:09] And we're back. This is the Ron Edwards American Experience and speaking of winning, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're winning all over the place. Secretary of State Marco Rubio struck a very extraordinary migrant agreement. In fact, he was meeting with El Salvadorian president, I want to make sure that I pronounce this correctly, Nayib Buckley at his lake house. Now, significant news broke recently

[00:44:38] that could prove to be an absolute game changer in President Trump's arduous efforts to keep America safe and ship out illegal border crossers. And we have one fearless leader of a small country in Central America to thank for this. Now, CBS News had reported Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with El Salvador's president to urge him to do more to assist the Trump administration on its illegal border crosser crackdown.

[00:45:08] Now, Buckley, who has become a global hero for turning El Salvador into the safest country in the Western hemisphere, mainly because a lot of those criminals and thugs out of El Salvador were shipped to the United States during the Uncle Joe Biden administration, and also thanks to his iron fist approach to thugs, criminals, etc., came through in dramatic fashion. Rubio said that the two agreed to is what they agreed to

[00:45:38] is genuinely historic, and the details are indeed absolutely stunning, to be honest with you. Not only has El Salvador agreed to take in a criminal illegal border deportees of all nationalities, but it is also offered to take in violent criminals imprisoned in the United States, even if they are American citizens. So hear this, American-born thugs, you too may be shipped to

[00:46:07] a very sweaty jail or prison in El Salvador. Yes, El Salvador is even offering to take in American rapists and murderers, which will alleviate our supposed over-incarceration problem. We can send them and he will put them in jails, and it won't be pretty. And he's also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentences in the United States, even though they

[00:46:37] are U.S. citizens or legal residents. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce confirmed the massive news in a statement, which she stated. President Berkeley agreed to take back all Salvadorian MS-13 gang members who are in the United States unlawfully. He also promised to accept and incarcerate violent, illegal border crossers, including members of the Venezuelan Trin de Argua gang,

[00:47:07] and also criminal illegal border crossers from any country on earth. Boom. And in an extraordinary gesture never before extended by any country, President Berkeley offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals, including U.S. citizens and legal residents. Now that is a great offer. I think that's a wonderful turn of events.

[00:47:38] Talk about winning. Holy mackerel. The Democrat who almost unseated Lauren Boebert says that his party is just 20 big cities, Aspen and Martha's Vineyard. He's about right. His party has been nothing more than bad news wherever they show up and wherever they dominate. A Colorado Democrat who ran twice for Congress and almost defeated Lauren Boebert

[00:48:07] has ripped his party's toxic political brand. Which he was a great part of by the way. Adam Frisch who almost defeated Representative Lauren Boebert in 22 and ran again unsuccessfully in 2024 said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that the party's brand was in the toilet. At least he's right about that too. We should hear a flushing noise right now. If you hear that it's the Democrat Party going down for the count. The journal

[00:48:37] reported from the election of the new national committee in Maryland. All of the candidates could agree that the situation facing the party is dire. And see, here's the thing. The Democrats are dunderheads. They're stiff-necked and they're unwilling to gravitate toward principles that would actually be beneficial to the republic. The Democratic brand is in

[00:49:06] the toilet with the recent Wall Street Journal poll showing 60% of Americans view the party unfavorably while only 36% see it as favorably. And that ties in with something that I've said for many, many years. That approximately 30 to 35 to 36% of Americans favor the evil. And we have to understand that and face that and just be willing to defeat them rather than trying to, oh, please

[00:49:36] come to our side or rather than compromising with them. People that are hell-bent on destruction because that's what they fully agree with, you can't compromise with them. Democrats lost ground with nearly every demographic group last November, including minorities, some women, low-income voters, and those without college degrees, which turned out to be the smartest

[00:50:06] of Americans. 20 big cities, Aspen and Martha's Vineyard, that's what's left of the Democrat Party. Oh, man. It is worth noting that Frisch has always styled himself as a moderate Democrat, but that's just fake news because if you look at his voting record, it is as leftist as any Democrat in history. But see, this is good.

[00:50:36] People are waking up. See, what we're finding out is that even though many people have been liberal, they're not leftist. and the 36% of Americans that agree with the Communist Democrat Party platform, those people are just iron-headed, thick-headed leftists, and there's nothing you can do. Now, liberals, on the other hand, may disagree with many or some policies of the leftists, but for

[00:51:05] some reason up until now, they've always voted leftist because that's where they felt more comfortable. But thanks to, and this is the one time you will hear me thank the Uncle Joe Biden administration, thanks to the Uncle Joe Biden administration that made things so miserable in so many areas all at once, the liberals who did not hate the country said, wait a minute, this is going too far.

[00:51:35] We've got to back up away from this madness for the good of the republic. And there you have it. And because of that, and several other good reasons, the republic shall be saved. But now that I see that my time is up, I thank you, my fellow Americans and friends around the world, for your time. That's all folks. Tags at stage right.

[00:52:07] And as I always say at this time, remember to pray for your nation, pray for your friends, your family, and even your enemies that they get it right before it's too late. And never forget to treat others the same way you'd want to be treated. So until next time, my friends, I'm Ron Edwards, and this is the Ron Edwards American Experience. Bye now. I can show you how to change your direction to make a new connection

[00:52:36] to everyone.
