The Ron Edwards American Experience-250218

[00:00:00] You're listening to The Ron Edwards American Experience. On with the show, this is it. And away we go.

[00:00:15] Say A, say M, say E, say R, say I, say C, say A, L.

[00:00:37] 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.

[00:01:18] Well, good day, good day, good day. Hello and how are you? I'm Ron Edwards and welcome to this edition of the Ron Edwards American Experience. So great to be with you this day from throughout America and around the world. You know something different when you look up at the skies? You know, it's sunny. I mean, that's pretty different for around here. It's cloudy for days at a time. But there's something noticeably quite different. There are no chemtrails.

[00:01:47] We looked up and it's just nice and blue and the cloud formations look more natural like they used to look years ago. It's amazing what happens when the United States stops wasting money on, you know, a bunch of bull capitalists with a hit projects like the chemtrails. And the funding was cut off.

[00:02:11] You know, the USAIDS was funding the chemtrail operation, which was poisoning our nation. And, you know, one of the claims that they would make is, oh, it's because we want to kill the mosquitoes. Well, what they were really killing were the monarch butterflies and bees, our honeybees.

[00:02:32] And, you know, if it wasn't for beekeepers around the country, we'd already be in a big heapum situation as far as our food supplies are concerned. Anyway, before we get into any other topics, real quick, we've got a wonderful guest today. She's going to be coming up right after the break. Her name is Leisha Kilgus. And she is with a wonderful organization called Liberty Leaders Unite. And it was founded with the noble intention of standing against all forms of human exploitation and oppression.

[00:03:02] So we'll be gathering in conversation with her in just a little bit. But, you know, it's kind of funny when I hear these little yapping nations around the world like Brazil or Canada and many of the nations throughout Europe crying, bellowing about these tariffs. And, of course, liberals and ne'er-do-wells here in the United States as well are bellowing about these tariffs.

[00:03:28] And, you know, it just goes to show you, you know, I understand about competitive nations. You know, they're yelping because, you know, they want to continue to screw over the United States of America. Remember the days when General Motors was the largest corporation in the world? One of the reasons why it became the world's largest corporation because there were no huge tariffs against General Motors automobiles.

[00:03:50] And they could sell theirs around the world just as Toyota, back in the day, Datsun, et cetera, Honda, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And so there was even trade. But all of a sudden the other nations said, well, wait a minute, wait a minute. And they decided to slap tariffs on American cars and other products made in our republic. And so it became more expensive to produce things here in the United States.

[00:04:19] And, of course, we had retards in our government that, you know, they wrote up these trade agreements that exacerbated the problem. And that's why cities like Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh were no longer number one in their respective metrons when it came to manufacturing. And so the rest is history. It all skedaddled out of this country. And so, therefore, Toyota became number one in the world.

[00:04:48] And you have Nissan and all these other giant corporations that have replaced General Motors and Ford as the top two automakers on the planet. And so it goes. But now, President Trump says, and this is something that I've advocated, you know, to whoever would hear me for years. All we have to do is remember President McKinley. Go back in time.

[00:05:11] What constructed the gilded age of the United States when she was truly per capita the world's wealthiest nation? It was tariffs. Now, tariffs, even the playing field. And because America has always had legendary workers, we were able to produce quite well.

[00:05:36] And yes, Americans are paid more on average than workers around the world. And even that's beginning to even out when you compare them to workers, let's say, in many or some of the European nations.

[00:05:52] And so, but to make America more competitive so that manufacturers will, you know, rebuild their plants here in the United States, all you have to do is like what I told President Trump when he was here. I said, sir, all you have to do is make sure that our corporate tax rate is the lowest on earth. Always keep ours lower than anyone else's.

[00:06:15] And that's the starting point for making America more advantageous for manufacturing in our country. And he said, oh, boy, that is a really great idea. And I could tell he meant, you know, he meant it when he said, man, I wonder why no one else has thought about that. And, you know, we need to do things like that.

[00:06:38] We need to also, speaking about covering our backsides, we need to encourage the Trump administration to not just explore because they know what you and I know when it comes to China utilizing or purchasing U.S. farmland. You know, it's stupid.

[00:07:04] You know, it's a bunch of stupid people that advocate for and allow China to purchase farmland in this country. If it were up to me, no foreign nation would own any land in this country. They could lease the land if they were to build a plant here. OK, that's it. But they would not be allowed to own the land and they would be happy to lease it. Because guess what?

[00:07:31] Leasing it would be in the form of corporate tax, you know, corporate taxes. Which would not be that high. And so they would be able to produce their goods here. But what I would want to do, the reason why the real reason is to make it so that we could start building, making our own stuff and growing our own food again. Let's not forget.

[00:07:57] That the valley in California that is now a Dust Bowl was once the salad bowl of the world. Literally. America produced at one time so much wheat, you could literally go to the ports of Cleveland, go to the port of New York, and you would see these giant ships filled to the brim with grain. All packing up to be headed, you know, and to points throughout the world.

[00:08:27] And we made goods and services. We had the world's largest automaker. Not auto. Yeah, we did have the world's largest automaker. But we also had the world's largest watchmaker, Timex. And it goes on and on and on. We were number one in textiles. We were number one in steel production. We were number one in machinery production.

[00:08:55] We were number one in everything. And we can be again. All we have to do is want that and shut down these leftist goofballs, these globalist-oriented individuals who don't want America to be great anymore. Shut them down. Back them into a corner. Tell them, back up. And reinstitute greatness in America through reinstituting great policies that make sense. Common sense. Yeah, common sense.

[00:09:25] And this concept of these 15-minute cities. You know, American cities used to be 15-minute cities a long time ago. But it was organic. Every neighborhood had its own business strip. Theaters, parks, etc. Every city had it. You had your downtown. And then you had uptown. In Detroit, you had downtown. You had what is called? Midtown.

[00:09:55] I think it's midtown. And you had these different districts. The Avenue of Fashion in Detroit, etc., etc., etc. It was natural. But this forced edict of these 15-minute cities, it's not the way to go. Because it's based about control. And, oh, making it so that you don't own the house you live in. You're just a renter for life. Anyway, I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:10:25] You're not. We'll be right back after this. The kid has class, taste, finesse. The Ron Edwards American Experience. A charter member of the emerging new mainstream media.

[00:13:03] This is Lisa Kaye and I enjoy the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:13:20] Yeah, we're back. This is the Ron Edwards American Experience. And oh, happy day. Yes, we've got a great guest today.

[00:13:45] But before we get to her real quick, Ken Paxton in Texas, he's shedding light on the control that George Soros has over Texas politics. Texas is supposed to be one of our more red states where there's more liberty, etc., etc., etc. But this is living proof that we really have to clean our house here in the great United States of America. But we'll be talking about that a bit later. But right now, let's engage with Leisha Kilgis. She is with the organization.

[00:14:14] In fact, she formed the organization Liberty Leaders Unite, an organization that equips the people, empowers them, and ignites them to action. And we welcome Leisha. Hello and welcome back. How are you? I'm great, Ron. How are you? Super duper. You're perfect. I just looked at the sky today, and I was just so delighted to see no chemtrails. That just made my week. Yeah, that is awesome.

[00:14:43] Hopefully, we'll have less sickness and disease because of that. Absolutely. Well, tell us what's going on. I see here that you've got some events coming up in the very near future. And why don't you share those with us, and we'll get into some other issues. Sure. So for the month of March, we actually have a Biblical Citizenship Lunch and Learn.

[00:15:09] That is every Saturday from 12 to noon. And that's basically talking about religious liberty rights, constitutional knowledge, learning tangible action steps, and the biblical, historical, and constitutional foundation of freedom. And that's going to be every Saturday online. And all you need to know is you can go to our website at www.libertyleadersunite.org, and you'll see that.

[00:15:36] And we also have an amazing person coming in April that is actually going to be training people to become a self-defense instructor. You know, the world, we just need more self-defense. And so that is April 26th and 27th. And that's by Steve Cardian. He's actually an amazing person who was in law enforcement.

[00:16:03] He was a detective, a sergeant, chief criminal investigator, contractor for the U.S. Marshals. He has been lecturing and consulting internationally. And he regularly appears on Fox News, CNN, Dr. Phil, CBS, NBC, ABC. And so he's going to be doing a training if you want to become a self-defense instructor. And that is for two days, and that's April 26th and 27th.

[00:16:32] Well, I might be interested in that. Man, that sounds really great. Well, I know one of the things that has been of particular interest to you and many of us is the human trafficking situation, particularly in our republic. Well, the good news is that the numbers have dropped dramatically because of the actions being taken by the Trump administration.

[00:16:58] Unfortunately, a lot of that action has been actually not so much stopped but shifted over to Europe, where they're even more liberal or leftist than we are in this country. But the good news is it is being reduced in our republic, but there's still a lot of work to do. What say you? Oh, yeah.

[00:17:18] Combating human trafficking, that is a huge passion of mine as I've been introduced to many survivors, many awesome organizations that are doing amazing things. And here's the thing. It's like, yes, there was a lot of trafficking going on at the border, but that's minimal compared to it is in every school. It is in every church. It is in every neighborhood. It is everywhere.

[00:17:45] And the most common, and this is really, really sad, is familial. So that is where it's actually family-oriented, which is really, really scary. You know, that's frightening when you put it like that because you look at the family as the backbone of society.

[00:18:06] And if you have tons of families out there that are so corrupt that they would traffic their own children, that just, you know, man, that kind of put a damper on my day just to think about that. How do you overcome that? How do we change the thinking processes of these sick families? Well, you know, education and awareness is key.

[00:18:36] And so we are an education-based nonprofit. So we try to provide that education and awareness. And also, you know, there's a lot of people who have not been quote-unquote trafficked, but they've actually been groomed, which is part of trafficking. And so there's so many different things that we can look at. And, you know, it's mainly women and children that this happens to.

[00:19:06] And like I said, it's in every community. So we just need to become educated and aware of what is going on and linking up with organizations that are helping. And so that's really what we're trying to do.

[00:19:21] And, you know, that is, you know, we have people, if you have a testimony of where you have had an organization help you or the Lord help you in, you know, coming to know your worth, we have a testimony page on our website. We'd love to hear from you. You know, this is really something that is going on.

[00:19:51] And I'm sorry, but it's truth. And people need to know and be aware that it is in every neighborhood. Yeah, speaking of that, yeah, it's certainly not Mr. Rogers' neighborhood anymore. You've got the neighborhoods in Texas and Colorado where teachers are trafficking students. You have, you know, and it's both boys and girls. They go to school, right?

[00:20:19] The bully teacher, I guess, rents them out to customers. And they're out all day. They make so much money. And, you know, they're back in school on time for parents to pick them up or, you know, the normal time they leave. And there's a case where a girl tried to talk about this and they didn't believe her. And it's just it's amazing how this stuff is just done out in the open like this. Yeah.

[00:20:48] And we really have to, I don't know, some street justice or something. Something's got to give here, Leisha. Yes, it is. It's out in the open. And unfortunately, a lot of people are actually aware of it, but they are they don't want to talk about it. They don't want to engage in it. And then there's other people that just believe that it's absolutely not. No, there's no way that's not happening in my neighborhood.

[00:21:17] Like it is everywhere. And like you said, you know, there are teachers who are engaging in this behavior. You know, if anybody ever, ever suspects that a child is being abused or trafficked, they need to contact the authorities, ASAP, because this is going on. There's the dark web, which unfortunately, you know, let's let's talk about the online safety.

[00:21:47] There are umpteen million apps now where children just get on these apps and they're targeted. And so this is such an important thing in our society and people need to become educated and aware.

[00:22:03] And we are hopeful that with the donations that are coming in and people that are getting involved and engaged with our programs, you know, we are hopeful that we'll be able to actually provide some safe houses for the women and children and some other things. So this is this is definitely one thing that needs to be addressed more so than it has been. Yes, indeed.

[00:22:28] Tell folks your website where they can find it and to help them if they want to participate with your organization or donate. Just yeah, just give them the website. Yes, it's Liberty Leaders Unite dot org. That is our website. We actually have some cool merchandise you can purchase, which actually helps to fund some of our programs. We've got where you can share your amazing testimony because everybody has a testimony.

[00:22:59] And when we allow others to hear our testimony, you can reach so many people. And we have teams that you can join to help with the initiatives and events that we're doing. And we would love to have you join. Even if you have an extra five hours a week, we can put you to work and we can help make people educated and aware and stop this awful, awful thing called human trafficking. Amen.

[00:23:25] Alicia, I want to thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to be with us today. And many blessings to you and your organization and to your family, too. And keep doing what you're doing. And Godspeed. Thank you very much. And one last thing, 1-833-560-0056. Text hello. That's how you can get in contact with us if you really want to get involved. So, again, it's 1-833-560-0056.

[00:23:55] Thank you so much, Ron. I love everything that you do. And God bless you and your lovely wife. And I look forward to connecting with you again soon. Amen. Take care. And Godspeed. Tell Todd I said hi. And there she goes. Great American, Lisa Kilgis of Liberty Leaders Unite. Check her out, folks. Check out the organization. I'm Ron Edwards. You're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. We'll be right back after this.

[00:24:31] Ron Edwards, the new voice of America. This is Amy Holm on the Ron Edwards American Experience. And I'm listening as well. But we're never going to survive.

[00:25:04] What to do when U.S. military top brass is not interested in protecting the United States border from foreign cartels? Using weapons they allegedly purchased from Ukrainian dictator Zelensky. Hello, I'm Ron Edwards. On today's page from the Edwards Notebook brought to you by Root Brands Premium Products for your body and soul.

[00:25:22] The United States under the Uncle Joe regime gave at least $160 billion worth of taxpayer-funded military hardware to supposedly fight off the Russian invasion, which was provoked by NATO and Ukraine.

[00:25:34] But then Zelensky, the ever-ready bunny salesman, allegedly sold a good portion of the military equipment the United States government foolishly gave him to the child-trafficking, fentanyl-distributing, murderous international cartels operating both at the U.S. southern border and throughout our republic. President Trump is working to secure the border and put a stop to the criminal cartels.

[00:25:58] But top military officials have vowed to ignore the plight of our republic is suffering and defy President Trump and the Defense Secretary's authority over the armed forces if he orders after duty troops to combat drug cartels, secure the borders, or help deport dangerous illegal border crossers. If they don't want to protect our nation, I say a slew of dishonorable discharges are in order. I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:26:30] On the call, on the wall. In the heart of struggle, in the face of adversity and betrayal, a thread of hope and faith created tapestry of triumph.

[00:27:54] Ron Edwards, the new voice of America. We're back. This is the Ron Edwards American Experience. Welcome. Welcome.

[00:28:24] And, my friends, you know, it's about time we start winning in overtime. One person that's a great winner, and I believe because he has won and will continue to win, we're going to see a much better military situation in our republic in the coming months ahead. Pete Hexeth's children were given the privilege of witnessing their dad becoming our United States Secretary of Defense recently.

[00:28:53] And it seemed that they were thrilled Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen escorted them to the Senate Gallery to watch the roll call vote. They were there as our Vice President J.D. Vance cast a tie-breaking vote by which their dad became our Secretary of Defense by a vote of 51 to 50. As they came running out to greet their father, they excitedly said, Dad, you won in overtime. What a powerful observation from such a young child.

[00:29:24] First, it is obvious that this family has been taught to keep trying, keep working hard toward a goal, regardless of the score at any given moment. They know what causes overtime victory, and they were proud of their dad for doing that. What a great lesson that is. My dad used to call it stick-to-itiveness. It seems that this is the mark of the entire Trump administration so far, especially President Trump himself. Never give up.

[00:29:54] Keep forging ahead, no matter what. The leftist dragon media, unsurprisingly, had been gnawing at the Hexeth nomination since it was first made. Their own brand of persistence, nauseating as it is. My rule of thumb is, if the MSM doesn't work, I probably do, even if I need to learn more about the facts of the matter.

[00:30:20] Their apparent attack on Pete Hexeth was based on his having been involved in multiple marriages and the fact that he drank a little bit of alcohol here and there. Oh, yes. And comments on women in the military, not the disparagement insinuated by the mainstream media.

[00:30:37] Despite repeated clarifications of mainstream misunderstanding, I say in quotes, and the denial of his former wife that there had even been domestic violence in their entire home, The trained pack of left-wing journalist hyenas wrote dozens of pieces slamming Hexeth, even the former sister-in-law, from whom the media managed to get a damning statement about Hexeth.

[00:31:05] Before his confirmation hearing was tagged as incorrect by the former Mrs. Hexeth, his ex-wife denied abuse. And all she said about his drinking is that he drinks more often than he doesn't. That applies to everyone who regularly enjoys an evening glass of wine, of course.

[00:31:26] Now, the fact that D.C. insiders had to choose the use of alcohol, marital relationship issues, and DEI in the military as their reasons for attack is laughable at best and infuriating as well. Drunk in orgies, marital infidelity, and sexual perversion is their M.O., modus operandi.

[00:31:49] They are familiar with this world, so they use it to accuse others who are innocent of those charges. They have tried the same kind of character assassinations with other nominees. Didn't your mom teach you that those who live in glass houses should never throw stones? Yeah, Justin, another wisdom of the ages that our Marxist infiltrators have tried to remove from our society.

[00:32:18] Kristi Noem, they suggested, wasn't capable of running such a large agency as DHS, despite the fact that she was a twice-elected state governor and former U.S. congresswoman. Noem's predecessor, Mayorkas, born in Cuba, is a lawyer, a former assistant D.A. in Central District of California, a member of Ali Obama's transition team, as well as Ali Obama's director of immigration services.

[00:32:47] Mayorkas implemented DACA, wherein dreamers often become nightmares for Ali Obama, then opened borders with voting privileges for non-citizens under Uncle Joe Biden. He met secretly with Soros, George Soros, that is, back in 2022, as the junta tried to convince us that we did not have a migrant problem,

[00:33:14] as if we were retards who couldn't see what was happening. Look him up sometimes. Be sure to catch his involvement on voter registration of illegals. I think Tucker Carlson talked about that several times on his show. And it goes on and on and on.

[00:33:41] And I'm bringing all this up, my friends, just to encourage you, that if you're trying to do the right thing, and no matter what the Metron is, if it's at your job, if you're running for political office, if you're training to learning to become a preacher, it doesn't matter. If you're going to be expecting a child soon, the thing is,

[00:34:09] you have to become like a trainhead. They used to call me a trainhead in school, meaning that you're focused on your goals. You're focused on the prize. And you cannot allow these outside distractions, antagonizers, naysayers, and other, you know, the full assortment of doofuses to disturb you from your track.

[00:34:37] And you just have to keep moving. We could say that our 47th president won that way because he did not take his eyes off the prize. His massive love for liberty, freedom, along with God's grace, carried him through many perils. Some of those we will always remember. Some, I am certain, we may never know. But he is there. He is here amongst us.

[00:35:06] And if his first few weeks as 47 is indicative, I think President Trump's drive for overtime may help save this republic, a nation on which we and the rest of the world do depend upon. If you don't believe that or want to believe that or want to see that, well, that's your problem. America is a great nation. Her position is to be the leading nation on planet Earth.

[00:35:35] That is her destiny. We also must slip our patriotism into overdrive, in my humble opinion, so that we can help President Trump take back our constitutional republic. Very few of us even realized all that we had lost until Trump force began to dismantle DEI, gender fluidity, the World Economic Forum, which needs to be booted out

[00:36:01] and not be formally moved into Detroit as the North American headquarters, and its UN agenda offshoots, and a lot of departments of our own government, which are as poisonous as the Soviet Union ever was. FEMA comes to mind. And that they were ravishing our budget to destroy our core beliefs and destroy our country from within, and, of course, to fund eternal wars,

[00:36:31] which are designed to waste away our wealth, which also waste away our human capital. Diversity, equity, and inclusion was nothing but a Marxist attempt to remove personal merit as a key to success. It was an insult to every human being to suggest that the grounds for achievement need to be mandated rather than earned.

[00:37:01] Hey, American, whatever. You need U.S., the government, to achieve anything in your miserable lives. And that's what the leftists think of us. They first hated American black people. They convinced black Americans that they're nothing but, you know, little weaklings that can only make it if the white man, you know, is there to, I guess, bless them, I guess.

[00:37:33] And that proves how little we understand about our history. If in the 1950s, black Americans were the fastest growing economic group in our republic. They were moving ahead economically faster than any other group, faster than whites or whomever. They were. In the 1950s,

[00:37:59] over 40% of black Americans owned a small business in addition to a job. And, yes, they dealt with racism and things of that nature. But their focus was about having successful families, doing the best that they could do, overcoming being Americans. In the 50s, if you went to a black neighborhood,

[00:38:28] during Independence Day, you would not notice much of a difference between those neighborhoods and other neighborhoods. Everyone flew their flags. At Christmastime, same thing. Everyone lit up their homes. In a festive manner. And so the Democrats, through their bastardized rights movement, whittled all that away in black America. But they didn't want to stop there. They used the guise of racism

[00:38:58] to destroy one segment of society, and they honed their skills in destroying, of destruction. And then they moved on throughout the entire American society. But, guess what? The curtain has been pulled, and they are being revealed. And they shall be defeated. And America shall be renewed. And we shall continue on this, the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:43:08] of New York City after Uncle Joe Biden commuted his sentence just before leaving office. 32-year-old Johnny Perez, who goes by the name Ghost, previously ran an around-the-clock drug operation involving crack cocaine and was among almost 2,500 criminals whose sentences Biden commuted. New York Police Department officers and federal agents arrested Perez along with several other suspected drug dealers in 2021.

[00:43:39] And, yep, they released him. Perez used to make $10,000 weekly dealing crack cocaine in what was described as an open-air bazaar at 43rd Street and 8th Avenue. I know exactly where that is. Anyway, he's another thug that's back on the street because that's what the leftists want, our streets to be full of criminals like that so that we, the people, would be in danger and more dependent upon government,

[00:44:07] which is no help to us in cases like this. Well, looks like the United States and Russia are taking a first step with very useful Ukraine war talks and they're agreeing on a Trump-Putin face-to-face meeting in the not-too-distant future and Russia, in fact, praised the first round of the Ukraine war talks with the United States as very useful while the American delegation said both sides had committed

[00:44:37] to make sure that the process moves forward in a timely and productive manner and will work towards a presidential meeting very soon. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with his Russian counterpart, Sergio Lavrov in Saudi Arabia and for the first time in person talks of high-level delegations since Russia invaded Ukraine almost three years ago. After four and a half hours, the talks,

[00:45:06] the meetings broke with both sides relating. they felt it had been very productive. And I still stand by the fact that if the Russian bear had not been poked, the bear would never would have invaded Ukraine. See, we've got to get back to the root of the matter and make sure that it doesn't happen again because Ukraine and some of the NATO leaders still want to make Ukraine

[00:45:35] a member of NATO which would do what? It would put NATO right at the border of Russia. Which would then, because then, you know, NATO wants to put missiles right at the Russian border. and they had already had a written agreement from the 1990s saying that that would never ever happen. And of course, I hope that part of these talks also entail getting rid of the human trafficking

[00:46:04] and the laboratories of ill repute that have been located throughout Ukraine as well. A lot of cleaning up to do, but great potential right there so far. looks like a top Social Security administration said, whoop, I'm out of here. I gotta go. I gotta go. Michelle King, who was the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration,

[00:46:35] stepped down and was then replaced by Leland Dudik. Dudik will serve as King's former role until President Trump picks to, you know, picks someone to permanently lead the agency. According to ABC News, the conflict involved Doge employees attempting to access what the outlet described as an internal data system which includes sensitive personal information of Americans. Now,

[00:47:05] see what, see, this is how they're portraying it, like they just want our personal information. That is so stupid to say and to interpret it that way. The government already has their personal information. I mean, Social Security numbers, ever heard of those? Driver's licenses? Our checking accounts? Our savings? Everything. They know everything already. But what they don't want us to know

[00:47:34] is how much money they've been wasting. And I just found out something. I looked at a graph this morning and it showed that less than 5% of the entire budget of Social Security is being spent on Social Security payments to Americans. See, it has been known for decades that we don't get a good portion of what we put out there

[00:48:04] through the years, through these Social Security taxes. taxes. But I did not know it was that small. I think it was less than 5%. You know how they show the pie chart and it was just such a tiny sliver that actually goes to Americans. The rest, my gosh, where does it go? One has to wonder. But I'm sure, see,

[00:48:33] this is what they didn't want us to find out. But it's too late now. Now that we know that the waste is there, now they're going to be digging to find out where did that money go? Where was it taken? And so we celebrated the President's Day yesterday and this is something I was going to mention yesterday, but it slipped my mind. And maybe when I tell you, you'll understand why it slipped my mind. A Star

[00:49:03] Trek actor, Robert Picardo, said, let's cancel President's Day since Trump has canceled our justice system. See, when you have fools like this running around saying that our justice system is canceled, for the first time in several years, the justice system is being cleaned up. And maybe in the near future we will have real justice. We won't have thugs being let out of prison

[00:49:33] because in cities like New York, thugs are given more or higher priority than the people that they victimize. See, people like that, that have everything backwards because they're in agreement with the destruction of our society, it's people like that that need to be checked, especially the ones that think just like that that are in government. And as I've said many times before, I think that anyone who wants to run for government

[00:50:03] before they even sign up their petitions, you know what they should do? They should be required to pass a constitution and bill of rights test. And if they can't hang in there, if they don't pass, they don't run, they're not eligible. Because it is a job, it is a metron just like any other job. You have to, their requirements. So, one of the most important

[00:50:32] jobs on earth is being a congressman of the United States of America. And if your goal is not to uphold the constitution of the United States and serve we the people, then you don't deserve to run for office. You don't deserve our attention. You should go ahead and, you know, go run for, I don't know,

[00:51:02] dog catcher at best. Maybe the dogs will elect you. If you bring them good dog biscuits or something, I don't know. But the thing is, we have to upgrade the quality of people that run our government. It used to be that you had to have a Christian character. Did you know that at one time? The biggest church in our nation was the Capitol building. Every Sunday they had service there. In the very room,

[00:51:32] where Trump was inaugurated in, that was a church service every Sunday morning. I think they need to go back to that. I really do. Jesus needs to be mainstreamed again. I'm Ron Edwards. Now that I see that my time is up. Oh, it's not up yet? Oh, my goodness. Holy mackerel, Andy. Well, that's good. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy

[00:52:05] said, I have to blame the Trump administration for recent airline disasters. Now, I mean, Pete Buttigieg is himself a human disaster. And if anyone is to blame for these recent plane crashes, it is him. The FAA and all of these transportation organizations under the government have been running under his tutelage for years under the Uncle Joe Biden administration. So what you're seeing is a result

[00:52:34] of mismanagement under Pete Buttigieg. And he's never been good at managing anything. He was a horrible mayor when he was mayor of South Bend, Indiana. They were so happy that he only had one term and they got him out of there. And he's been equally as bad and not worse as Transportation Secretary of the United States. He's got to go. Wait a minute. He's already gone. Thank you, Jesus. Anyway, now that I

[00:53:04] see that my time is up, thank you so much for your time. And now that I see that my time is up, for real now, remember to pray for your nation, pray for your family, pray for your friends, and even your enemies, and that they get it right before it's too late. And don't forget to treat others the same way you would want to be treated. I'm Ron Edwards. I'll be back

[00:53:35] to change your direction change your direction.
