[00:00:43] Where our unalienable rights are celebrated.
[00:00:47] And now, your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards.
[00:00:52] Good day, hello.
[00:01:22] And how are you?
[00:01:24] I'm Ron Edwards and welcome to today's edition of The Ron Edwards American Experience.
[00:01:28] Lots of things to cover.
[00:01:31] Thanks to the great networks that carry us, whether it's Liberty Works, LibertyTalk.fm,
[00:01:39] K-Star Talk Radio, Lancaster's Lighthouse Radio in Great Britain, and more.
[00:01:45] Thanks so much for listening.
[00:01:46] Also, throughout America and around the world.
[00:01:49] And thanks to our great sponsors.
[00:01:51] You can check some of them out.
[00:01:52] Simply going to theronedwards.com.
[00:01:55] And boy, do we have a lineup for you today.
[00:01:57] Okay.
[00:01:58] Starting things off, in one of the places that I wouldn't expect this to be happening,
[00:02:04] in a small city in Jersey, New Jersey, that is.
[00:02:10] An individual was kicked out of a city council meeting.
[00:02:14] Well, you might wonder why did that happen?
[00:02:18] Did he walk in with his shirt off?
[00:02:20] Did he say something that was untoward?
[00:02:24] Was he telling lies?
[00:02:26] Did he threaten anyone?
[00:02:28] No, not at all.
[00:02:30] He's a local attorney there.
[00:02:32] He was giving his comments based upon a city issue.
[00:02:37] And he was going about speaking based upon the U.S. Constitution
[00:02:41] and how the government should govern itself accordingly.
[00:02:44] And he held up a constitution and said,
[00:02:48] this is what you guys should be reading.
[00:02:50] Check it out sometimes.
[00:02:51] And he thumped it, pop, pop.
[00:02:53] And guess what?
[00:02:54] Oh, and he held up a small American flag, too.
[00:02:58] And because he held up a constitution
[00:03:00] and he held up a small American flag,
[00:03:04] well, he was booted out.
[00:03:06] Yes, he was.
[00:03:08] Literally booted out like as if he were a rabbit dog.
[00:03:12] Council President Nishith Patel, an Indian guy,
[00:03:16] threw him out of the meeting,
[00:03:17] which not coincidentally was in part
[00:03:21] to curb the use of what he called props in remarks.
[00:03:25] So if I were to walk in and read a constitution
[00:03:29] and refer to it,
[00:03:31] that's considered now a prop?
[00:03:33] I know what it is.
[00:03:35] He's a leftist pig
[00:03:36] and he doesn't like the constitution.
[00:03:39] He doesn't agree with our constitutionally limited way of life.
[00:03:42] And so he decided to throw the guy out
[00:03:44] and he's also offended by the American flag.
[00:03:47] I mean, there should be some kind of a law in this country
[00:03:50] that if you are offended,
[00:03:51] if you are in government office
[00:03:52] and the American flag offends you
[00:03:56] and the U.S. Constitution offends you,
[00:03:59] that should be enough
[00:04:00] for you to lose your position in government,
[00:04:02] whether it's local, state, or federal.
[00:04:05] You should be kicked out like a rabbit dog.
[00:04:10] You should be.
[00:04:13] Because it's about we the people,
[00:04:14] not about you, you little worm.
[00:04:18] And this is just so asinine that we take this.
[00:04:22] And what made it more insulting
[00:04:24] is that three big American cops were called in
[00:04:27] and they gleefully shuffled the man out.
[00:04:33] So, well, a dumb Democrat, his name is Dick Durbin.
[00:04:40] He defends the deep state ally,
[00:04:44] Christopher Wray, the head of the FBI,
[00:04:46] says that President Trump cannot fire him before 2027.
[00:04:51] He's standing here with a,
[00:04:54] well, in this photograph, not right here,
[00:04:56] but he's standing here in a photograph
[00:04:58] with a big fat smile
[00:05:00] saying that President Trump has to deal
[00:05:03] with Mr. Wray until 2027.
[00:05:07] Hmm.
[00:05:09] Durbin, echoing the talking points
[00:05:10] of the Democratic establishment,
[00:05:12] lambasted Trump's decision
[00:05:14] to nominate Kash Patel to lead the FBI.
[00:05:16] Patel, a staunch advocate for accountability,
[00:05:20] something that's pretty rare in government these days.
[00:05:22] And one of the key factors
[00:05:24] in exposing the Russian collusion hoax
[00:05:26] has become a target of left-wing attacks
[00:05:29] precisely because of his track record
[00:05:31] of confronting corruption.
[00:05:32] Oh, how dare you confront corruption?
[00:05:35] I mean, good gosh.
[00:05:38] That's all Democrats are about.
[00:05:40] Of course, with the permission of people like
[00:05:44] Deputy Drupalong,
[00:05:45] or now he gets deputy stuck in his position.
[00:05:51] Mitch McConnell.
[00:05:53] He used to be Deputy Drupalong.
[00:05:54] Now he just, I'm a deputy,
[00:05:56] got stuck anywhere.
[00:05:58] You notice how he'll be talking
[00:06:00] and all of a sudden he can't move.
[00:06:03] He just gets stuck.
[00:06:06] We should get stuck at home
[00:06:09] and couldn't make it to his meetings
[00:06:12] because he usually votes against conservative issues anyway
[00:06:16] and he usually supports the Democrats.
[00:06:17] So no loss for the Republican side anyway
[00:06:21] if he were to stay home.
[00:06:23] Democrats would be heartbroken.
[00:06:26] People like, oh, but what's the guy?
[00:06:30] Schumer.
[00:06:31] Yeah, Chucky.
[00:06:31] Chucky.
[00:06:33] I'm looking at a picture here
[00:06:35] with Uncle Joe Biden in Africa.
[00:06:38] The president of Zimbabwe
[00:06:42] has an irritated look on his face
[00:06:44] while he jerks Uncle Joe by the sleeve
[00:06:49] and saying, this way, this way.
[00:06:51] I mean, this is, this is,
[00:06:53] what an image for our country.
[00:06:56] What an image for our country.
[00:06:59] And in the country to the north,
[00:07:02] the Canadians,
[00:07:04] you know, some of the Canadians
[00:07:05] are really getting revved up
[00:07:07] and pushing back against the madness.
[00:07:10] About a week or two ago,
[00:07:14] Ezra Levant,
[00:07:15] he heads up Rebel News
[00:07:18] out of Toronto
[00:07:20] and he was arrested.
[00:07:22] Why was he arrested?
[00:07:23] He and a few,
[00:07:23] and his reporter friend,
[00:07:26] they were reported
[00:07:27] because
[00:07:29] they were very concerned
[00:07:31] about a huge gathering
[00:07:32] of Palestinians
[00:07:33] in his neighborhood.
[00:07:35] And he stepped out.
[00:07:36] They said, well,
[00:07:37] we're going to cover this.
[00:07:38] This is crazy.
[00:07:39] So some of the Palestinian
[00:07:41] butt kissers
[00:07:43] recognized who he was
[00:07:45] and they became enraged,
[00:07:47] threatening with violence
[00:07:48] and tossing things at him.
[00:07:51] And rather than backing
[00:07:52] the Palestinian mob down,
[00:07:54] what they did,
[00:07:55] the Canadian police,
[00:07:57] they grabbed
[00:07:58] Ezra Levant
[00:08:00] and his fellow reporter
[00:08:04] from Rebel News
[00:08:06] and they threw them in jail.
[00:08:09] And this is the reason,
[00:08:11] my friends.
[00:08:11] The reason was
[00:08:12] because
[00:08:13] their presence
[00:08:15] as Jews
[00:08:19] infuriated
[00:08:19] the Palestinian bootlickers.
[00:08:22] That's, you know,
[00:08:23] of course,
[00:08:24] my description of them.
[00:08:26] And therefore,
[00:08:27] they arrested him.
[00:08:29] They held him
[00:08:29] for a couple of hours
[00:08:30] and let him go.
[00:08:31] And he said
[00:08:32] that the Toronto police
[00:08:33] treated him very nicely,
[00:08:34] but still,
[00:08:36] why should they be arrested?
[00:08:39] Because they enraged
[00:08:41] the Palestinian bootlickers
[00:08:43] who came into their neighborhood,
[00:08:45] by the way,
[00:08:48] who came into their neighborhood.
[00:08:50] Just like these Muslims
[00:08:53] who over the weekend
[00:08:54] walked into a church
[00:08:56] in Northern Ireland.
[00:08:59] It was a Catholic church,
[00:09:01] I believe,
[00:09:01] and they were conducting service,
[00:09:03] minding their own business,
[00:09:05] by the way,
[00:09:05] as they worshipped Mary.
[00:09:07] And, you know,
[00:09:08] all of a sudden
[00:09:09] here come the Muslims
[00:09:11] walking in,
[00:09:12] protesting the church.
[00:09:16] Now, you know,
[00:09:18] correct me if I'm wrong,
[00:09:20] but the Muslims
[00:09:21] are not even from
[00:09:22] that part of the world.
[00:09:24] They wanted to drag
[00:09:25] their camel jockey behind
[00:09:28] all the way to Ireland,
[00:09:30] right?
[00:09:31] Because they have it
[00:09:33] in their thick skulls
[00:09:34] that they should move
[00:09:36] anywhere in the world
[00:09:38] and create havoc
[00:09:39] if wherever they move
[00:09:41] does not accept
[00:09:43] their Islamic dogma.
[00:09:45] You know,
[00:09:46] beating women,
[00:09:47] marrying girls
[00:09:48] between the ages
[00:09:50] of 9 and 12.
[00:09:51] You know the drill.
[00:09:53] If you don't accept
[00:09:54] that crap,
[00:09:55] then they want to,
[00:09:55] you know,
[00:09:57] stop your church service
[00:09:59] in Northern Ireland.
[00:10:00] This is the kind of crap
[00:10:01] we have to deal with
[00:10:02] and trust me,
[00:10:03] it would have been
[00:10:04] on steroids
[00:10:05] had Kamala
[00:10:06] been elected
[00:10:08] because Kamala
[00:10:09] and all those
[00:10:09] Democrats and rhinos
[00:10:11] like Mitch McConnell
[00:10:11] are in favor of that.
[00:10:14] They don't like us,
[00:10:15] but we don't like them
[00:10:16] very much either,
[00:10:17] do we?
[00:10:17] So I don't give a rip.
[00:10:19] We're going to restore
[00:10:20] America to greatness.

[00:13:37] and you are
[00:13:38] listening to
[00:13:39] the Ron Edwards

[00:13:42] This land is your land.
[00:13:44] This land is mine.
[00:14:03] Yes, this land was
[00:14:05] made for you and me
[00:14:06] but is it our land?
[00:14:07] Is it our house?

[00:14:14] You're listening to

[00:14:16] and here to
[00:14:16] converse with us
[00:14:17] for a few moments
[00:14:18] today.
[00:14:19] Her name is
[00:14:19] Carla Wagner
[00:14:20] of AskMyTax
[00:14:21] and that's something
[00:14:22] I wish we could
[00:14:24] get more people
[00:14:25] to pay attention
[00:14:26] to and want
[00:14:28] their own property
[00:14:29] taxes extinguished.
[00:14:31] Hello, Carla
[00:14:31] and welcome back.
[00:14:34] Hi, Ron.
[00:14:35] Thank you for
[00:14:35] having me again.
[00:14:36] It's great to talk
[00:14:37] to you.
[00:14:38] Yes, and so
[00:14:40] it's great
[00:14:41] to have you back.
[00:14:42] I, you know,
[00:14:43] this is one of the
[00:14:44] things that never
[00:14:45] leaves me,
[00:14:45] especially this time
[00:14:46] of the years
[00:14:47] you know,
[00:14:47] after the Christmas
[00:14:49] season and all of that
[00:14:50] people start thinking
[00:14:51] about taxes
[00:14:53] and one of the taxes
[00:14:54] in my humble opinion
[00:14:55] that we should not
[00:14:56] have to participate in
[00:14:57] is property taxes
[00:14:59] because once you
[00:15:00] buy something,
[00:15:01] once you buy a shirt,
[00:15:02] it's yours.
[00:15:03] Why isn't it that way
[00:15:05] for our houses?
[00:15:09] I know, right?
[00:15:11] That's a very good question
[00:15:13] and the fact is that
[00:15:16] we are losing.
[00:15:17] We are losing our homes,
[00:15:19] our farms,
[00:15:20] our businesses,
[00:15:20] and our land
[00:15:21] here in Michigan
[00:15:23] and all across
[00:15:24] the United States
[00:15:25] because of
[00:15:27] property taxes
[00:15:28] and I worry
[00:15:30] that people,
[00:15:32] it's not going to hit
[00:15:33] people until it happens
[00:15:34] to them
[00:15:34] or to someone
[00:15:35] very close to them
[00:15:37] and then they'll go,
[00:15:38] wait a minute,
[00:15:39] what just happened?
[00:15:39] But by that time,
[00:15:41] it's too late.
[00:15:44] Yeah, it is getting
[00:15:46] too late.
[00:15:47] A lot of farms
[00:15:48] have been lost
[00:15:49] in Michigan
[00:15:50] and as you said,
[00:15:52] across the country,
[00:15:53] a lot of family homes,
[00:15:55] things of that nature
[00:15:56] and it's like a,
[00:15:56] it's like a setup
[00:15:58] to work against us
[00:16:00] having an owning property
[00:16:01] because I do know
[00:16:02] that people like
[00:16:04] Klaus Schwab
[00:16:05] and others
[00:16:06] and many in our,
[00:16:07] the government here
[00:16:08] in the United States,
[00:16:09] especially federally,
[00:16:10] don't want us
[00:16:10] to own anything
[00:16:11] they want us
[00:16:12] to be renters,
[00:16:13] basically modern day serfs
[00:16:15] and in a position
[00:16:17] where we could be
[00:16:18] pushed off of our land
[00:16:19] or out of our house
[00:16:20] whenever they decide.
[00:16:22] I'll give you an example.
[00:16:25] There's some great
[00:16:26] farming friends we know
[00:16:27] and they were talking
[00:16:28] about how
[00:16:29] Governor Whichmer
[00:16:31] recently enacted a law
[00:16:32] where is
[00:16:33] if you,
[00:16:34] they come in and say,
[00:16:35] well,
[00:16:36] we want to put a
[00:16:36] so-called solar farm
[00:16:38] on your farm
[00:16:39] and you say no,
[00:16:41] they'll say okay
[00:16:43] and so now
[00:16:44] they've enacted
[00:16:45] a law that
[00:16:45] the people of Michigan
[00:16:46] didn't vote on it
[00:16:47] that they can come
[00:16:49] and say,
[00:16:49] well,
[00:16:49] you know,
[00:16:49] the need of this
[00:16:52] solar farm
[00:16:52] supersedes
[00:16:53] your so-called
[00:16:55] property rights
[00:16:56] and by the way,
[00:16:58] you might want to
[00:16:59] leave your house too.
[00:17:01] This witch
[00:17:02] is just out of control.
[00:17:04] What say you?
[00:17:06] She is decimating
[00:17:08] the state of Michigan
[00:17:10] and the people
[00:17:10] of the state of Michigan.
[00:17:12] She has driven
[00:17:13] business
[00:17:14] and people
[00:17:15] out.
[00:17:16] She closed
[00:17:17] us down
[00:17:18] during COVID.
[00:17:19] She,
[00:17:19] you know,
[00:17:22] put senior citizens
[00:17:23] in nursing homes
[00:17:24] which didn't turn out
[00:17:26] well for them.
[00:17:26] She's all about
[00:17:28] aborting our babies
[00:17:29] so our population
[00:17:30] is going down,
[00:17:31] our businesses
[00:17:32] are going down,
[00:17:34] our jobs
[00:17:34] are going down,
[00:17:36] everything
[00:17:36] is going down
[00:17:37] and you know what?
[00:17:38] As that all
[00:17:39] takes more effect,
[00:17:41] the people,
[00:17:42] we,
[00:17:42] are being asked
[00:17:43] to pay more
[00:17:44] and more,
[00:17:45] right?
[00:17:45] Inflation goes up
[00:17:46] and guess what
[00:17:47] goes up with inflation?
[00:17:48] Your property taxes.
[00:17:49] So when we're already
[00:17:51] under financial stress
[00:17:52] to pay for food
[00:17:54] on a weekly basis,
[00:17:56] food,
[00:17:57] gas in our car
[00:17:58] to get to work
[00:17:58] to pay those taxes,
[00:18:00] then the property taxes
[00:18:01] get handed to us
[00:18:02] and people,
[00:18:03] more and more people
[00:18:04] are saying
[00:18:04] we can't afford these.
[00:18:05] We can't afford
[00:18:06] this anymore
[00:18:07] and what am I getting
[00:18:09] for it,
[00:18:09] right?
[00:18:10] They're getting nothing
[00:18:11] for their property tax dollars.
[00:18:13] Police,
[00:18:14] fire,
[00:18:14] road commission,
[00:18:15] absolutely,
[00:18:16] but that's only
[00:18:17] about 15%
[00:18:18] of the total
[00:18:20] of your property tax bill.
[00:18:23] I do say
[00:18:25] that if they were
[00:18:26] to allow
[00:18:27] true prosperity,
[00:18:29] what I mean is
[00:18:29] true free market
[00:18:31] economics,
[00:18:33] unencumbered
[00:18:34] by so many regulations,
[00:18:35] there would be
[00:18:36] more prosperity
[00:18:37] than the
[00:18:40] 10 to 15%
[00:18:41] needed for the
[00:18:42] necessary services
[00:18:43] and you could
[00:18:45] eliminate property
[00:18:46] taxes altogether,
[00:18:47] by the way,
[00:18:47] and you would
[00:18:49] have all that
[00:18:50] dealt with
[00:18:51] through sales taxes
[00:18:53] and that would
[00:18:54] take care of
[00:18:54] essential services
[00:18:56] that we need,
[00:18:58] such as police,
[00:19:00] fire,
[00:19:00] and things like that
[00:19:01] and those things
[00:19:03] don't have to be
[00:19:03] covered by
[00:19:04] property taxes
[00:19:06] And that's just
[00:19:06] my opinion.
[00:19:07] And there's
[00:19:08] very few examples
[00:19:09] around the country
[00:19:10] that I have ever
[00:19:12] found where property
[00:19:13] taxes actually
[00:19:16] revealed a benefit.
[00:19:17] In fact,
[00:19:18] it's only one.
[00:19:19] It's the metro park
[00:19:21] system of Cleveland.
[00:19:22] It's called
[00:19:22] the Emerald Necklace.
[00:19:23] It literally goes
[00:19:24] from the far west
[00:19:25] side to the far east
[00:19:26] side,
[00:19:27] from shore to shore,
[00:19:29] from the shoreline
[00:19:30] of Lake Erie
[00:19:31] all the way down
[00:19:32] and all the way
[00:19:33] to the shoreline
[00:19:34] of Lake Erie
[00:19:34] all the way
[00:19:35] to the extreme
[00:19:35] east side.
[00:19:36] And it's a beautiful
[00:19:38] park center,
[00:19:39] park system,
[00:19:40] waterfalls.
[00:19:41] I mean,
[00:19:41] it's very beautiful,
[00:19:42] right?
[00:19:45] And they decided
[00:19:46] to do that
[00:19:47] because the city
[00:19:48] of Cleveland
[00:19:49] government
[00:19:49] wasn't maintaining
[00:19:50] the parks
[00:19:50] at the high level
[00:19:51] that the people
[00:19:52] expected.
[00:19:53] But that is
[00:19:53] the one and only
[00:19:54] example
[00:19:55] out of this
[00:19:56] entire country
[00:19:57] where I have
[00:19:58] found property
[00:19:59] taxes to be
[00:20:00] of any benefit
[00:20:02] where they weren't
[00:20:03] just a total waste.
[00:20:05] And so one
[00:20:06] example out of
[00:20:07] the entire country
[00:20:08] does not
[00:20:10] mean that
[00:20:11] we need to
[00:20:11] maintain property
[00:20:12] taxes.
[00:20:13] What say you?
[00:20:14] You know,
[00:20:16] Ron,
[00:20:16] our own governor
[00:20:17] here in Michigan
[00:20:18] knows that
[00:20:20] the elimination
[00:20:21] or the abatement
[00:20:23] of property tax
[00:20:24] brings businesses
[00:20:25] into Michigan
[00:20:26] because she uses
[00:20:27] that as a tool
[00:20:29] to draw
[00:20:30] businesses here.
[00:20:31] We not only
[00:20:32] pay them
[00:20:33] millions and
[00:20:34] billions of
[00:20:35] our tax dollars
[00:20:36] to get them
[00:20:37] here,
[00:20:38] and then when
[00:20:38] we're here,
[00:20:39] we let them
[00:20:40] not pay
[00:20:41] property taxes
[00:20:42] to the state
[00:20:43] of Michigan.
[00:20:44] That's corporate
[00:20:45] favoritism,
[00:20:45] right?
[00:20:46] And it's only
[00:20:47] outsiders coming
[00:20:48] in.
[00:20:49] A lot of it
[00:20:49] is foreign
[00:20:51] entities,
[00:20:52] right?
[00:20:52] But the people
[00:20:53] here in Michigan
[00:20:54] that built
[00:20:55] Michigan,
[00:20:56] the businesses,
[00:20:57] the small
[00:20:57] businesses,
[00:20:58] medium,
[00:20:58] large,
[00:20:59] whatever,
[00:20:59] that built
[00:21:00] Michigan,
[00:21:01] they're not
[00:21:01] getting that deal.
[00:21:02] So now they
[00:21:02] have to compete
[00:21:03] with a corporation
[00:21:04] that doesn't
[00:21:05] have to pay
[00:21:05] property tax,
[00:21:06] hundreds of
[00:21:06] thousands of
[00:21:07] dollars.
[00:21:07] They don't
[00:21:08] have to pay,
[00:21:08] right?
[00:21:09] So,
[00:21:10] and we
[00:21:11] think if
[00:21:14] it's gotten
[00:21:14] to the point
[00:21:15] where if
[00:21:16] we're just
[00:21:16] paying for
[00:21:17] essential services,
[00:21:18] everything else
[00:21:18] on the property
[00:21:19] tax bill can
[00:21:20] be paid by
[00:21:20] consumption.
[00:21:21] If you
[00:21:21] choose to
[00:21:23] use those
[00:21:23] services,
[00:21:24] if you
[00:21:25] choose to
[00:21:25] go to the
[00:21:26] zoo,
[00:21:27] pay admission.
[00:21:28] Why is it
[00:21:28] on our property
[00:21:29] tax bill?
[00:21:30] And there's
[00:21:30] just so many,
[00:21:31] it's so
[00:21:32] convoluted,
[00:21:33] it's so
[00:21:33] difficult to
[00:21:34] explain.
[00:21:34] It's such a
[00:21:35] complex issue
[00:21:36] because it
[00:21:36] touches on
[00:21:37] so many
[00:21:38] different parts
[00:21:38] of our
[00:21:39] state budget,
[00:21:40] but also our
[00:21:42] township and
[00:21:43] our county
[00:21:43] budget.
[00:21:43] I get all
[00:21:45] that.
[00:21:45] I'm not
[00:21:45] trying to
[00:21:46] defund
[00:21:46] anything,
[00:21:47] but we
[00:21:48] need to
[00:21:48] put money
[00:21:49] back in
[00:21:50] the hands
[00:21:51] of the
[00:21:51] people.
[00:21:51] And when
[00:21:52] we take
[00:21:53] away their
[00:21:53] home,
[00:21:55] we also
[00:21:55] take away
[00:21:56] their equity
[00:21:57] and their
[00:21:57] generational
[00:21:58] wealth.
[00:21:58] And in
[00:21:59] the time
[00:22:00] up to when
[00:22:01] their house
[00:22:01] or property
[00:22:02] is being
[00:22:02] foreclosed
[00:22:03] on,
[00:22:03] they have
[00:22:04] spent every
[00:22:05] last dime
[00:22:06] they have.
[00:22:07] They've
[00:22:07] cleaned out
[00:22:08] their savings
[00:22:08] account.
[00:22:09] They've
[00:22:09] cleaned out
[00:22:09] their 401.
[00:22:11] They've
[00:22:11] borrowed money
[00:22:12] from friends
[00:22:12] and neighbors
[00:22:13] and relatives.
[00:22:14] They've
[00:22:14] racked up
[00:22:15] tens of
[00:22:16] thousands of
[00:22:17] dollars on
[00:22:17] credit cards
[00:22:18] to try to
[00:22:19] save their
[00:22:20] home.
[00:22:20] And you
[00:22:21] know what?
[00:22:21] When that
[00:22:22] house gets
[00:22:22] foreclosed
[00:22:23] on,
[00:22:23] they've
[00:22:24] lost
[00:22:24] everything
[00:22:25] and have
[00:22:26] nothing
[00:22:27] to start
[00:22:28] over with.
[00:22:30] Yeah.
[00:22:30] And to
[00:22:31] back up
[00:22:32] what you're
[00:22:32] saying,
[00:22:33] there is
[00:22:33] no need
[00:22:34] for property
[00:22:35] taxes for
[00:22:36] zoos and
[00:22:36] museums and
[00:22:37] things of
[00:22:37] that nature.
[00:22:38] And I'll
[00:22:38] give you an
[00:22:39] example.
[00:22:40] The Cleveland
[00:22:41] Museum of
[00:22:41] Art,
[00:22:42] which is
[00:22:42] considered to
[00:22:43] be one
[00:22:43] of the
[00:22:43] finest art
[00:22:44] museums on
[00:22:45] the entire
[00:22:45] planet.
[00:22:46] Its collection
[00:22:47] is second
[00:22:48] to none
[00:22:48] literally,
[00:22:49] but yet it
[00:22:50] is one of
[00:22:51] the world's
[00:22:51] wealthiest
[00:22:52] museums.
[00:22:53] It has an
[00:22:53] endowment
[00:22:54] that is
[00:22:55] huge,
[00:22:57] much larger
[00:22:58] than the
[00:22:58] Detroit or
[00:22:59] even the
[00:22:59] Chicago
[00:23:00] art museum,
[00:23:01] et cetera,
[00:23:01] and it's
[00:23:02] all private.
[00:23:03] Yeah,
[00:23:04] they had
[00:23:04] huge endowment
[00:23:05] money from
[00:23:06] very wealthy
[00:23:07] families,
[00:23:08] and a lot
[00:23:08] of it is
[00:23:08] old money,
[00:23:09] but they
[00:23:10] were wise
[00:23:10] with that
[00:23:11] money,
[00:23:11] and it
[00:23:11] continues
[00:23:12] to grow,
[00:23:13] and there's
[00:23:14] no property
[00:23:15] taxes,
[00:23:15] and there's
[00:23:16] no admission
[00:23:16] to the museum
[00:23:18] either,
[00:23:18] but that's
[00:23:19] their decision.
[00:23:20] It's a private
[00:23:20] enterprise.
[00:23:22] Absolutely.
[00:23:23] And you know,
[00:23:24] I think,
[00:23:25] Ron,
[00:23:28] exactly what
[00:23:29] you're saying.
[00:23:30] There are
[00:23:30] examples out
[00:23:31] there where
[00:23:32] people have
[00:23:33] been fiscally
[00:23:34] responsible with
[00:23:36] the money,
[00:23:37] and they make
[00:23:39] it work.
[00:23:39] I've had
[00:23:40] township
[00:23:40] supervisors
[00:23:41] tell me,
[00:23:42] Carla,
[00:23:42] we don't
[00:23:43] need property
[00:23:43] taxes to
[00:23:44] run our
[00:23:45] township.
[00:23:45] We just
[00:23:46] collect taxes
[00:23:47] for all of
[00:23:48] those other
[00:23:48] entities,
[00:23:50] right?
[00:23:50] But we
[00:23:50] don't need
[00:23:51] property taxes
[00:23:52] to run our
[00:23:53] township,
[00:23:53] because it
[00:23:54] runs on the
[00:23:55] money we get
[00:23:56] from general
[00:23:57] revenue sharing
[00:23:57] of sales tax,
[00:23:59] and that's
[00:23:59] more than
[00:24:00] enough.
[00:24:01] So when I
[00:24:03] look at all
[00:24:04] of that,
[00:24:05] it's just
[00:24:05] how do we
[00:24:07] hold people
[00:24:08] accountable that
[00:24:09] don't even
[00:24:10] know accounting
[00:24:10] practices?
[00:24:12] How do we
[00:24:13] put our
[00:24:14] state and
[00:24:15] local budget
[00:24:16] in the hands
[00:24:17] of people
[00:24:17] that have no
[00:24:18] experience either
[00:24:19] running a
[00:24:19] business or
[00:24:21] any kind of
[00:24:22] accounting
[00:24:23] practices at
[00:24:24] all?
[00:24:25] But yet,
[00:24:26] those are the
[00:24:26] people that are
[00:24:27] making the
[00:24:27] decisions for
[00:24:28] us that we
[00:24:29] have to live
[00:24:29] by, and
[00:24:31] they don't
[00:24:31] seem to have
[00:24:32] any problem
[00:24:33] making someone
[00:24:34] homeless as
[00:24:36] long as they
[00:24:36] can pay for
[00:24:38] the monkey in
[00:24:39] the zoo.
[00:24:41] It's mind
[00:24:42] boggling that
[00:24:43] they don't
[00:24:44] realize.
[00:24:46] We're going to
[00:24:46] have to hold
[00:24:47] it right there.
[00:24:47] We'll get right
[00:24:48] back with you
[00:24:49] in conversation.
[00:24:50] This is the
[00:24:50] Ron Edwards
[00:24:51] American Experience.
[00:24:52] We'll be right
[00:24:52] back after this.
[00:25:17] A candy maker
[00:25:18] in Indiana,
[00:25:19] wanted to
[00:25:20] produce a candy
[00:25:21] that would be
[00:25:21] a witness,
[00:25:22] so he made
[00:25:23] the Christmas
[00:25:24] candy game.
[00:25:25] Hello, I'm
[00:25:26] Ron Edwards.
[00:25:27] On today's page
[00:25:28] from the Edwards
[00:25:29] Notebook,
[00:25:29] the candy maker
[00:25:30] began with a
[00:25:31] stick of pure
[00:25:32] white hard
[00:25:32] candy to
[00:25:33] symbolize the
[00:25:34] virgin birth
[00:25:34] and sinless
[00:25:35] nature of
[00:25:36] Jesus.
[00:25:36] The candy maker
[00:25:37] made the
[00:25:37] candy in the
[00:25:38] form of a
[00:25:38] J to represent
[00:25:39] the name of
[00:25:40] Jesus who
[00:25:41] came to
[00:25:42] earth as
[00:25:42] our savior.
[00:25:43] It also
[00:25:44] represented the
[00:25:44] staff of the
[00:25:45] good shepherd who
[00:25:46] reaches down into
[00:25:47] the ditches of
[00:25:47] the world to
[00:25:48] lift out the
[00:25:49] fallen lambs that
[00:25:50] have gone astray.
[00:25:51] Realizing his
[00:25:52] candy was very
[00:25:53] plain, the
[00:25:53] candy maker
[00:25:54] stated with
[00:25:55] red stripes to
[00:25:56] symbolize the
[00:25:57] scourging Jesus
[00:25:58] received by which
[00:25:59] we are all
[00:25:59] healed.
[00:26:00] The large red
[00:26:01] stripe was for
[00:26:02] the blood shed
[00:26:03] by Jesus on
[00:26:04] the cross so
[00:26:05] that we could
[00:26:06] have the promise
[00:26:07] of eternal life.
[00:26:08] Unfortunately,
[00:26:08] the candy became
[00:26:09] known only as a
[00:26:11] candy cane, a
[00:26:12] meaningless
[00:26:12] decoration seen at
[00:26:13] Christmas time,
[00:26:14] but the meaning is
[00:26:15] still there for those
[00:26:16] who have eyes to
[00:26:17] see and ears to
[00:26:18] hear.
[00:26:18] I pray that this
[00:26:20] symbol will again
[00:26:20] be used to
[00:26:22] witness the wonder
[00:26:23] of Jesus and
[00:26:24] his great love
[00:26:25] that came down to
[00:26:25] us remain the
[00:26:27] ultimate and
[00:26:28] dominant force in
[00:26:29] the universe today
[00:26:30] and forever.
[00:26:31] Merry Christmas
[00:26:32] and may God bless
[00:26:33] everyone.

[00:27:47] Edwards, and also

[00:28:04] The Ron Edwards American
[00:28:06] Experience Talk Show,
[00:28:07] where our unalienable
[00:28:09] rights are celebrated.
[00:29:10] Celebrating the reason
[00:29:11] for the season.
[00:29:12] This is the Ron Edwards
[00:29:13] American Experience.
[00:29:14] I'm Ron Edwards, and
[00:29:15] welcome back.
[00:29:16] And welcome, of course,
[00:29:18] our guest today.
[00:29:19] Again, her name is
[00:29:20] Carla Wagner of
[00:29:21] Axe My Tax, and she
[00:29:24] is fighting a brave fight
[00:29:26] in my humble opinion.
[00:29:27] We brought her back
[00:29:28] after the break because
[00:29:29] we want her to tell us
[00:29:32] how we can get in
[00:29:33] contact with her or
[00:29:35] help her out and join
[00:29:36] this fight so that
[00:29:37] maybe we'll be in a
[00:29:39] better position in the
[00:29:41] next election cycle and
[00:29:42] more people will get
[00:29:43] involved so we can get
[00:29:45] rid of this ankle
[00:29:48] bracelet, basically.
[00:29:51] It's horrible stuff.
[00:29:52] Anyway, Carla, welcome
[00:29:53] back.
[00:29:54] And why don't you tell
[00:29:55] us how we can get in
[00:29:56] contact and help out in
[00:29:58] this struggle?
[00:30:00] Yes, absolutely.
[00:30:01] Thank you, Ron.
[00:30:02] Our website is
[00:30:07] axmitax.org,
[00:30:09] axmytax.org.
[00:30:10] That is the best place to
[00:30:12] go to sign up, to
[00:30:13] volunteer, to help
[00:30:15] circulate the petitions
[00:30:16] the next go around.
[00:30:17] And of course, we always
[00:30:18] need donations.
[00:30:20] Large grassroots efforts,
[00:30:21] but we always need
[00:30:22] donations.
[00:30:25] It's going to take a lot,
[00:30:28] right?
[00:30:28] We need all hands on deck.
[00:30:30] We need as much money as
[00:30:31] we can get.
[00:30:32] We're going to have all
[00:30:33] kinds of evil to fight.
[00:30:35] We will have misinformation
[00:30:38] that will be put out there
[00:30:39] about what our proposal is
[00:30:41] going to do.
[00:30:43] They're going to try to
[00:30:44] sabotage everything that we
[00:30:45] can.
[00:30:46] So not only do we need the
[00:30:47] petitions and the literature
[00:30:49] to tell us, to tell people
[00:30:50] what we are going to do
[00:30:52] and what we're all about,
[00:30:53] we have to fight everything
[00:30:54] that's going to come out
[00:30:56] about us, about how we're
[00:30:57] going to, you know, the
[00:30:58] sky is going to fall and the
[00:30:59] world is going to come
[00:31:00] apart because we're going to
[00:31:01] eliminate property tax.
[00:31:03] But I agree with you.
[00:31:05] When the people prosper,
[00:31:07] the state will prosper.
[00:31:09] When the state has all the
[00:31:11] money, we die, right?
[00:31:14] That's what's going to
[00:31:14] happen.
[00:31:15] But when the people are
[00:31:16] allowed to prosper, the more
[00:31:19] we, the more money we make,
[00:31:21] the more money the state
[00:31:22] receives from state income
[00:31:23] tax, sales tax, all of those
[00:31:25] other multitude of taxes that
[00:31:27] we pay.
[00:31:27] But when the state has
[00:31:29] control of all of the money
[00:31:30] and they keep taking and
[00:31:31] taking and taking, we end
[00:31:33] up with nothing.
[00:31:34] We lose.
[00:31:35] We become destitute,
[00:31:36] unemployed, and we move.
[00:31:38] Out of Michigan.
[00:31:40] That's what's happening.
[00:31:41] That's very true.
[00:31:42] And Carla, I want to thank
[00:31:43] you for joining us today.
[00:31:44] And thanks so much.
[00:31:46] You are a real trooper, a
[00:31:48] real soldier.
[00:31:50] And we wish you the best.
[00:31:52] And I want you to keep in
[00:31:53] contact because we want to be
[00:31:54] more involved in getting
[00:31:56] rid of this albatross.
[00:31:58] And man, you keep, keep up.
[00:32:00] And if we don't talk to you
[00:32:01] before Christmas, Merry
[00:32:02] Christmas to you and yours.
[00:32:04] Merry Christmas to you as
[00:32:06] well.
[00:32:06] And thank you.
[00:32:07] And thank you for everything
[00:32:08] that you're doing as well.
[00:32:09] We need more people like
[00:32:11] yourself.
[00:32:12] That's got our message.
[00:32:14] Thank you so much.
[00:32:15] Godspeed.
[00:32:16] Yeah, bye-bye.
[00:32:17] Take care.
[00:32:19] Well, there she goes.
[00:32:20] I mean, that's, you know,
[00:32:22] she's an example of what it
[00:32:23] takes to come together and
[00:32:26] fight these evils.
[00:32:27] It's about we, the people,
[00:32:28] getting involved in doing what
[00:32:30] we have to do to clean out
[00:32:32] the mess, including property
[00:32:34] taxes.
[00:32:36] And, you know, there's an
[00:32:37] other mess that's going on
[00:32:39] around our world.
[00:32:39] Two U.S.
[00:32:40] Navy destroyers, they recently
[00:32:42] came under attack while
[00:32:44] escorting American ships.
[00:32:46] Why do you think that
[00:32:47] happened?
[00:32:47] Well, the United States has
[00:32:49] been carrying a rather weak
[00:32:50] posture in recent days, in
[00:32:53] recent years, for example.
[00:32:55] Two U.S.
[00:32:56] Navy destroyers, they did fight
[00:32:57] back against missile attacks
[00:32:59] aimed at American ships in the
[00:33:01] Red Sea.
[00:33:02] The U.S.
[00:33:03] Navy destroyers, SS Stockdale
[00:33:05] and the USS O'Kane,
[00:33:07] successfully defeated a range
[00:33:09] of Houthi-launched weapons
[00:33:11] while transitioning
[00:33:14] the Gulf of Aden,
[00:33:19] according to U.S.
[00:33:20] Central Command.
[00:33:21] Now, the destroyers were
[00:33:23] escorting three U.S.-owned
[00:33:24] operated flagged merchant
[00:33:26] vessels, and the reckless
[00:33:28] attacks resulted in no injuries
[00:33:30] and no damage to any vessels,
[00:33:33] civilian or U.S.
[00:33:35] naval.
[00:33:35] The destroyers successfully
[00:33:36] engaged and defeated three
[00:33:38] anti-ship ballistic missiles.
[00:33:40] Well, I still say that those
[00:33:43] attacks happened because the
[00:33:44] United States has been carrying
[00:33:45] a rather weak posture,
[00:33:48] thanks, but no thanks, to the
[00:33:50] Harris-Biden administration.
[00:33:52] And that's what happens when you
[00:33:54] portray yourself as a weakened
[00:33:55] droopy daffodil.
[00:33:56] The wolves come out to bite you.
[00:33:58] And it is what it is.
[00:34:03] So, I am really amazed at how
[00:34:12] many individuals in this country
[00:34:15] still cannot believe certain things.
[00:34:20] For the example, what we were
[00:34:23] just talking about.
[00:34:24] How many Americans would rather
[00:34:26] hold on to property taxes than
[00:34:28] to straighten out the madness,
[00:34:30] restructure the economy in a
[00:34:34] manner that the founders thought
[00:34:37] and wrote about, and that at one
[00:34:40] time we did operate under, for the
[00:34:42] most part, which created unparalleled
[00:34:45] prosperity.
[00:34:47] Um, but one of the reasons why, or
[00:34:54] two of the reasons why, that that
[00:34:56] is still so prevalent in our society
[00:34:58] is because of manufactured or
[00:35:01] created ignorance through indoctrination
[00:35:04] in our government schools.
[00:35:05] See, we have to hammer against that
[00:35:07] as well.
[00:35:08] You cannot maintain a permanent change
[00:35:12] in your nation for the better until
[00:35:15] you get rid of one of the worst
[00:35:17] elements that produces what is wrong
[00:35:20] or the ills of society.
[00:35:22] And one of the greatest producers of
[00:35:24] the ills permeating our society is the
[00:35:27] government school system.
[00:35:29] That's another thing we have to get
[00:35:31] rid of.
[00:35:32] Along with property taxes, we have to
[00:35:34] get rid of those god-awful
[00:35:35] government school systems.
[00:35:38] And I pray that President Trump was
[00:35:41] very serious in the effort to
[00:35:43] dismantle the, um, government school
[00:35:47] system, the education department, which
[00:35:49] should never have ever been created.
[00:35:52] Education is a parental and local
[00:35:55] issue that should be, um, dealt with
[00:36:01] amongst the people, not amongst the,
[00:36:04] uh, career politicians in Washington, D.C.
[00:36:07] And speaking of career politicians, that
[00:36:10] should no longer be allowed.
[00:36:13] Whether it's local, state, or federal.
[00:36:16] And I think that federal judges, maybe
[00:36:20] they shouldn't be a lifetime appointment
[00:36:22] either.
[00:36:24] I mean, it's great when federal judges
[00:36:26] are, that are appointed, are conservative
[00:36:28] and they adhere to the constitution and
[00:36:31] they govern themselves accordingly.
[00:36:32] But on the other hand, if you have a
[00:36:36] leftist administration and they make
[00:36:39] these appointments, those leftist
[00:36:41] judges are there until they die to ruin
[00:36:45] things for we the people.
[00:36:48] To make things better for illegal border
[00:36:50] crossers when they come to their
[00:36:52] courtrooms.
[00:36:54] And to inhibit the rights of law-abiding
[00:36:57] citizens to defend themselves.
[00:37:00] Like Daniel Penny in New York.
[00:37:02] Not only was he defending himself, but
[00:37:05] he was also defending others on the
[00:37:08] subway train in New York City.
[00:37:11] When after the altercation, sometime
[00:37:14] after, the man who made the, the
[00:37:18] assaulting, um, advancements toward the
[00:37:22] people on the train, after he was
[00:37:25] apprehended and held in a chokehold, and
[00:37:27] he bumped off later.
[00:37:29] But there's no reason that, uh, Daniel
[00:37:33] Penny should spend a second in jail or
[00:37:36] prison.
[00:37:36] He should not.
[00:37:38] Now I know that his family, they're,
[00:37:41] they're, you know, they're circling
[00:37:42] around like flies around crap, you know,
[00:37:45] uh, demanding what they call justice.
[00:37:51] But really it's about what they want.
[00:37:54] People like them want is for criminals
[00:37:58] to feel free to do whatever the hell they
[00:38:00] want to do.
[00:38:02] And I saw the roots of the beginning of
[00:38:05] that some time ago when I would see how,
[00:38:10] when certain individuals who were up to
[00:38:12] no good were taken down or whatever,
[00:38:14] how their families would react and then
[00:38:18] how their attorneys would react.
[00:38:19] It was never about, oh, we're sorry this,
[00:38:22] this happened that they did this.
[00:38:24] It's like, oh my goodness, how could you be
[00:38:26] so hard on my son who just tried to kill
[00:38:31] somebody, who just tried to break in
[00:38:33] someone's house, who just broken someone's
[00:38:35] house?
[00:38:35] How could you beat them down so severely?
[00:38:39] We have to now sue the city.
[00:38:42] Because they want these thugs to feel free
[00:38:44] to do whatever the hell they want to do.
[00:38:47] And in many cases, that is what they do.
[00:38:50] Our friends just told us this past weekend,
[00:38:53] oh yeah, they live in the Chicagoland area.
[00:38:56] Oh yeah, around the Magnificent Mile isn't
[00:38:59] what you remember it to be.
[00:39:03] People would just walk into the stores and
[00:39:05] rip off whatever they want.
[00:39:06] Now most of those stores are closed
[00:39:09] because they'll walk in there and start
[00:39:11] shooting.
[00:39:15] And because thugs have been made to feel
[00:39:17] comfortable to do whatever they want to do.
[00:39:21] And this stuff has to come to a halt.
[00:39:24] I still say that thugs are not the majority
[00:39:26] in this country.
[00:39:30] But so they have to be dealt
[00:39:33] according to how they act.
[00:39:37] We need to put the fear of God back into
[00:39:39] the into thugs instead of us being afraid
[00:39:43] of them.
[00:39:47] We the people who are doing nothing to
[00:39:49] anybody going to work or whatever.
[00:39:52] Why should you have to get on a transit
[00:39:53] train in Cleveland or New York or whatever?
[00:39:56] And not to worry about, oh my gosh,
[00:39:59] is that thug sitting over there going to
[00:40:01] jump on me?
[00:40:04] I mean, this is crazy.
[00:40:07] We have to stop it.
[00:40:09] One way or another.
[00:40:11] It is the thugs that need to be in fear.
[00:40:13] Not we the people.

[00:42:33] The Ron Edwards American Experience talk show.
[00:42:36] Where our unalienable rights are celebrated.
[00:42:50] We're back.
[00:42:51] This is the Ron Edwards American Experience.
[00:42:53] And, you know, my friends.
[00:42:56] Over the past several decades, we've seen a nation toss common sense into the ash can of history.
[00:43:05] Tossed away self-determination.
[00:43:09] Kicked individuality down the street.
[00:43:13] To little more than being recipients of carefully planned dumbing down and sheep-like compliance.
[00:43:21] Collectivism is what we have today.
[00:43:24] Which means embrace the deadly poison promoted by Karl Marx.
[00:43:29] Yep, collectivism versus individualism.
[00:43:37] Now, we need to understand the fact that when it comes to collectivism, that means you don't own anything.
[00:43:47] Or you don't own very much.
[00:43:50] And that it means that you have a nation where everyone is collectively like...
[00:44:01] You remember Star Wars?
[00:44:03] Not...
[00:44:04] Yeah, I think it was in Star Wars.
[00:44:09] No, Star Trek.
[00:44:10] I'm sorry.
[00:44:11] Star Trek.
[00:44:12] And they had these individuals, this collective society called the Borgs.
[00:44:19] And all the Borgs, they were all alike.
[00:44:23] And they were like one unit.
[00:44:27] And I understand teamwork.
[00:44:30] And all working together.
[00:44:32] But even in a teamwork.
[00:44:34] And in the original concept of a team.
[00:44:37] Everyone on that team had an individual responsibility.
[00:44:41] And the working together of those individual talents and responsibilities led to victory.
[00:44:49] And I guess a great example of that is if you look at a basketball team or a football team.
[00:44:56] But what I'm talking about is this condensed system of oneness.
[00:45:05] And I'm not talking about like we're all Americans and we're all united in Christ and this, that, and the other.
[00:45:11] Because even in Christ, we are recognized as sovereign individuals.
[00:45:18] All uniquely and wonderfully made.
[00:45:22] But in what I consider to be a communist or a Borg society, everyone is looked at the same.
[00:45:30] We're looked at as losers, as nobodies.
[00:45:35] I mean, you should hear the conversations that the leftist and the rhino, big time in their own mind, people in politics and in the entertainment world, think of us.
[00:45:47] You know, some in royalty would call us the unwashed masses.
[00:45:55] And so we, in these so-called unwashed masses, have to educate ourselves upon what it really means to live.
[00:46:06] What it means to overcome and defeat totalitarianism.
[00:46:14] Okay?
[00:46:16] We have to understand what totalitarianism is and what it requires.
[00:46:25] It requires the support, approval, and fearful veneration of the masses.
[00:46:30] Meaning that you have been conned as a society into believing the lies of those who want to take away your property rights.
[00:46:38] Of those who want to take away your right of self-protection.
[00:46:43] Example, in the beautiful state of New York, they have this law where if someone is starting trouble, whether it's in your house or on the street or they're coming at you, rather than you doing the comments and things and kicking their butt, defeating them and smashing them,
[00:47:05] If you do that, if that's the first thing you do is run into self-defense mode, you can get in big heap of trouble.
[00:47:12] Because that is part of that totalitarianism effort to wipe away our God-given sense, common sense.
[00:47:24] Our God-given self-worth.
[00:47:28] Our God-given self-worth.
[00:47:31] Our God-given requirement to defend ourselves and our families and our property.
[00:47:38] Because what good is a man, a healthy man, who just sits there and watches his wife get slapped by a stranger?
[00:47:47] What good is a man if he's not willing to or able to protect his own home because he's scared that the government will come after him, as is the case in New York?
[00:48:02] And I think that's a bunch of bull capitalists with a hit.
[00:48:05] I think the people were incurably ignorant or stupid for even allowing or approving such a law to come to the fore.
[00:48:15] And so therefore, my friends, we have a lot of work cut out.
[00:48:21] Yes, it's great that President Trump has been elected.
[00:48:23] It's great we have a majority in the House and the Senate.
[00:48:27] That's wonderful.
[00:48:28] Oh, wonderful.
[00:48:29] Oh, wonderful.
[00:48:29] As Lawrence Welk used to say.
[00:48:32] But here's the thing.
[00:48:34] If we're still getting fed bull capitalists with a hit at the church.
[00:48:40] If our children are still being spoon-fed bull capitalists with a hit in government schools.
[00:48:46] We'll be right back to where we are now in four years, four and a half years.
[00:48:52] And it'll be worse because the leftists, every time they get defeated, what do they do?
[00:48:58] It's just like it reminds me of a biblical lesson.
[00:49:01] Then when they wiped out the spiritual evil, if you don't do what's right within yourself, it comes back seven times worse.
[00:49:13] Remember when Trump won in 16?
[00:49:16] We were all happy.
[00:49:18] Oh, happy day.
[00:49:21] Well, guess what happened.
[00:49:22] Things got worse after Trump left office than they were before he was elected the first time.
[00:49:33] Because we didn't clean house.
[00:49:37] And we didn't put the clamp on the left, which allowed them to seep in there.
[00:49:42] And in my humble opinion, still, I still believe that they stole the election in 2020.
[00:49:50] And if we don't watch our backsides, if we don't watch everything with diligence, we'll be right back in this situation in four and a half years.
[00:49:59] But it'll be much worse.
[00:50:01] Because the left, they're not stupid.
[00:50:03] They maintain their focus on what they want to do, and that is to destroy us through property taxes, through all kinds of unconstitutional and unbiblical regulations, laws, that have nothing to do with bettering society, has nothing to do with keeping society safe.
[00:50:24] I mean, if that were true, then we wouldn't have open borders with millions of people here wreaking havoc in places like Palestine, Ohio, Springsfield, Ohio, wherever.
[00:50:38] You wouldn't have this problem.
[00:50:40] You wouldn't have knuckle-draggers running down Michigan Avenue, which was one of the greatest shopping streets ever created by man.
[00:50:49] Now it's desolate in comparison.
[00:50:53] That's just one street, but that happened all over the country.
[00:50:59] So, my friends, we have our work cut out for us, and we better get to work.
[00:51:02] We have to scrub this nation clean.
[00:51:05] We have to make it clean.
[00:51:08] Cleaner than Tennessee pizza.
[00:51:11] We have got to do our work, my friends.
[00:51:15] Why should New Orleans be a scumbag city right now?
[00:51:18] That was one of the great culinary places of the earth.
[00:51:22] But yet, outside of the main drag of the French Quarter, you walk one or two blocks in either direction from that great street, and what happened?
[00:51:35] You are in danger.
[00:51:36] You are in more danger than you are in much of the Middle East.
[00:51:44] Yes, my friends, we have our work cut out for us.
[00:51:46] But we can do the work.
[00:51:50] And it's not just for ourselves.
[00:51:53] It's for those who, they're going to read about us one day.
[00:51:57] They're going to remember what we left them one day.
[00:52:02] I think it'll be a long time before I leave here.
[00:52:04] What about you?
[00:52:06] But one day we'll be gone.
[00:52:08] But what do you want to leave behind?
[00:52:09] Do you want to leave trash behind?
[00:52:11] Or do you want to leave a great nation behind?
[00:52:15] Think about it, my friends.
[00:52:18] And now that I know, I see that my time is up, I thank you so much for your time.
[00:52:29] That's all, folks.
[00:52:30] To exit stage right.
[00:52:34] And as always at this time, I remind you, my friends, to remember to pray for your great nation.
[00:52:40] Pray for your family.
[00:52:42] Pray for your friends.
[00:52:44] And pray for your enemies that they get it right.
[00:52:48] And to treat others the same way you would want to be treated.
[00:52:52] Let's fight for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
[00:52:58] Bye now.
