The Ron Edwards American Experience-250306

[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 A, E. Ladies and gentlemen, it's The Ron Edwards American Experience Talk Show,

[00:00:42] where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now, your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards.

[00:01:18] Testing, one, two, three, testing. Hello, I'm Ron Edwards and welcome. This is The Ron Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards and thanks so much for tuning in and a very interesting day. We have a great guest coming up in just a bit after the first break, a retired colonel. And we look forward to our conversation with him and Alan Campbell, the retired colonel,

[00:01:46] and see what he has to say about some of the things that have been going on in our country in the last several weeks and days. And we look forward to his perspective. Well, some good news. President Trump has resumed the construction project, the wall, that is. U.S. border chief Michael Banks announced that the Trump administration ordered the restart

[00:02:11] of a Biden-era canceled border wall upgrade project along the Texas border with Mexico. And they began installing an 18-foot-tall border wall panels in the Rio Grande Valley sectors in the Hedigo County area today. Now, those panels were originally planned for installation during the prior Trump administration, but the contracts were canceled immediately once Uncle Joe Biden took office.

[00:02:40] And so that's a good thing. And we're awful glad that the border wall is back up and they are constructing things there again. And looking at other news, we see that, man, it's very interesting how these black robe gone wild judges, these individuals are really getting on my nerves. You know, Trump does one thing that is good.

[00:03:10] And here comes some liberal Ali Obama era or Uncle Joe Biden appointed judge to disrupt things. Now, the last time I checked, though, the Constitution clearly states that the president of the United States is the commander in chief and that he has the authority to fire. He has the authority to hire, et cetera, et cetera. And he rules over the departments. He rules over the government.

[00:03:39] And so every time, you know, Trump engages on carrying out his duties, the things that he campaigned on, here you know, here comes another black robes gone wild judge, leftist judge, activist judge, to stop what Trump is doing and what he is legally doing, by the way.

[00:04:03] And I think the time has come that, you know, President Trump, for the good of the country, is going to just basically have to ignore the unconstitutional actions of these black robes gone wild. Because, you know, Trump and others are engaged in cleaning out waste in government. Our government is way in debt.

[00:04:28] In fact, the American government is more in debt than any other entity in the history of mankind. As far as overall amount and percentage, there's never been a greater debt and deficit financially in the history of our planet than that of the United States of America. And so we have a president that has the stones to stand up to this debt and try to change things, turn things around.

[00:04:57] You have on one hand, you have a legislative body that continues to want to spend, spend, spend. You know, Mikey Johnson, you know, the speaker, he says the right things. He even prays the right things. And that's good. He likes to pray. That's good. But he likes to slow walk things so that Trump cannot be successful.

[00:05:22] And I think Trump is charmed by little Mikey because Mikey says the right things when he's around Trump. How he supports Trump. I believe in Trump. La-di-da-di-da. These are good. And so Trump is kind of blinded by that. And he continues to not call out Mikey Johnson who likes to drag things along because, to be honest with you, Mikey Johnson is more in line with Hakeem Jeffries than he is President Trump.

[00:05:53] And I'm going by his actions. Let's not forget when, you know, there was a chance that Hakeem Jeffries could become the speaker. Remember when Mikey Johnson was meeting with Hakeem Jeffries and being more detailed with Hakeem Jeffries on that side than with the Republicans?

[00:06:20] Lest we, you know, it's amazing how we forget these things. And I was concerned when Trump stepped up and supported little Mikey for Speaker of the House permanently. And I couldn't understand what is this guy doing? He's not a stupid man. I mean, the guy, President Trump, plays five-level chess. So there's nothing about stupidity here.

[00:06:46] So it can only be that he's a little blinded by Mikey Johnson's compliments. I hate to sound almost insulting here with the president, but, I mean, that's what it looks like to me. And so it's just terrible. It's just terrible.

[00:07:16] And you know who has to pay for this? You know who pays out of the backside for this? It's we, the American people. One way or another, we're the ones that pay. We're the ones who would get crushed under the debt. All the government has to do, to be honest with you, if you want to cut the deficit, all you have to do is hold the line on spending, literally. And then support policies that increase economic activity. And you pay down the debt.

[00:07:46] And if that wasn't true, why is it that countries that have almost no taxes, why is it that they are in a huge surplus? Why is it that states within our country that have much lower regulations against business activity, most of them have no deficit? In fact, many of them have huge surpluses.

[00:08:12] Even California, until recent years, had a huge surplus. But once you get into this effort to overspend in order to crush your, whether it's in the case of California or the United States overall from the federal level, to crush us under debt, all you do is spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend. And this is what has been going on.

[00:08:39] And one of the areas of wasteful spending is hiring people, multi-levels of people, which makes up this massive bureaucracy that carries out more authority in many areas than the president of the United States, just by their sheer numbers. And they can hide things within the bureaucratic layers.

[00:09:07] And things can seem good like it did during the first Trump administration, during the Reagan years. Yeah, the same thing going on even during the Reagan administration. It was just smaller. The debt and deficit was smaller. But those jokers never quit. And so we have a situation where if something is not done, and I mean quickly,

[00:09:37] all the wonderful possibilities of the coming years under the Trump administration will come crashing down because you just cannot indefinitely maintain the kind of situation that we have in this country. And that is why Doge was designed to go in and cut out the waste.

[00:10:00] And see, the American people, one of the reasons why they voted for President Trump was for what he's doing or what he's trying to do. I just hope that the American people, we the people, are smart enough to remember that and not turn on Trump, but rather start throwing the bums out of office that support this madness, like Mikey Johnson.

[00:12:48] This is Alan Campbell, Bullets, and I'm listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:13:08] And we're flying high. This is via the Ron Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards, and our guest today is Alan Campbell.

[00:13:36] He's a retired Delta Airlines captain, former FAA representative, and a retired United States Air Force pilot that knows an awful lot about the Reagan aircraft accident. And he's done numerous interviews and things of that nature. So let's engage in our conversation with Colonel Alan Campbell. Hello, sir, and welcome back. Hello. My pleasure to be on, Ron. Thank you. You're so welcome, sir.

[00:14:04] You know, I'd like to get your perspective on some of the things that have been going on with the Reagan. Boy, I don't know. Trump sometimes makes me think of the Reagan administration because of the similar battles that they both have gone through.

[00:14:22] But some of the things that Trump is dealing with, which I think is totally unfair, how these black robes gone wild judges continue to try to block things that he's doing that are actually good for the country. And whether it's with the military, whether it's with education, it doesn't matter. These people are there to maintain these bureaucracies.

[00:14:46] When it comes to the military, we could, I think, dramatically cut the budget for the military and actually have a bigger military than we do now. And what I mean by that is, for example, instead of paying, I don't know, $800 for a screw or I don't know how much for a toilet.

[00:15:07] I mean, many times what you would pay normally, those kind of waste that I'm talking about and earmarking the money for actual redevelopment of our military, which would actually be less if the cost were kept in within reality. What say you? You know, it's an interesting perspective because I hear those stories and they pay $10,000 for a spoon on an airplane and some similar things like that.

[00:15:35] But I flew the F-106 that the Air Force had for 30 years. And when we got rid of them, took them out to Tucson, Arizona, to the desert, they were in virtually perfect condition. So I don't know what they paid for them, but we got our use out of those. Same with the F-16, same with the F-15, same with the Abrams battle tank. So you hear some bad stories, but there's some really wonderful stories out there also you just don't hear much about.

[00:16:02] Yeah, I mean, when you look at our equipment, it is great. It's top notch and things of that nature. And I give you that. But when Boeing and Lockheed Martin overcharges by many times for what it really costs and we just go along with it, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

[00:16:25] I'm not saying the quality of what we have is bad, but what I'm saying is that we've been overpaying now to the billions of dollars for things that – and to also maintain these bureaucracies. Not even – not just in the military, but just across the board throughout our Congress and throughout everything in government. You have so many layers of individuals.

[00:16:56] And with a deficit like this, if this were the private sector, no one would have any qualms about, okay, there's 10,000 layoffs at such and such. But when it comes to government, there seems to be an entitlement mentality. When you couple that with the leftist whose goal is to overburden our country so that it will eventually collapse, what say you?

[00:17:26] Well, you know, that's an interesting concept, but I think we've heard some really good news in the last few days the way the Trump administration is going after the military and they're looking at the waste and they're looking at things that they don't get good bids on. Boeing and other companies know how to just rip us off because they build unique airplanes like Air Force One. You know, you can't get five bids on that. It's one company. It's a unique airplane. It's going to cost a gazillion dollars.

[00:17:53] So there's not a lot you can do about that. But I just think what Trump and his people are doing right now is looking at all of that stuff. They're going to cut that nonsense out and get money back to the people. They're talking about, you know, that website that shows a national debt. They put Elon Musk number up there about the positives that they've collected so far, and they're over a billion dollars.

[00:18:17] So you'll see that number go up, and maybe eventually you'll see that national $36 trillion plus deficit start to go down. And that's going to be a wonderful story. And I think the next four years is going to make a huge difference. And beyond that, once people get the right attitude. Your attitude is so important. But I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about. These black robes gone wild. And everything you said is true.

[00:18:45] The efforts by the Trump administration are to be saluted and heralded. However, today, a federal judge extended a temporary restraining order barring Doge from accessing Education Department and OMP records. Now, the reason why is because that prevents Doge from looking exactly at the financial waste of the Department of Education and the things that they've been doing.

[00:19:14] And that's just one department. And I have a list of judges. I could just go from one judge to the other. And they continue to keep blocking these things from going into effect. Now, this particular thing that I mentioned, the block is supposed to end on March 17th at 5 p.m. Or until the court rules on a preliminary injunction motion, whichever is earlier.

[00:19:44] However, there is a possibility and a great one at that, that this judge, who is an anti-Trumper and an activist judge, will maintain this. And this is just, like I said, just one judge. And we don't have time for me to go through, you know, a bunch of judges that are trying to obstruct all the wonderful things that President Trump is doing.

[00:20:08] And I think that he just needs to take a page from Joe Biden's book and just go ahead and do what he wants. To do anyway, because I don't know if you remember when Uncle Joe was met legally by a judge to stop the president of, you know, President Biden from giving out these student loans. And Uncle Joe said, you know what, I'm going to go ahead and do them anyway. And he did it.

[00:20:38] And there was no backlash or anything like that. So I think that Trump needs to just say, screw it and just utilize that precedent. And so he has that to stand on. At least in this case, if Trump does it, he would be doing that for something good that he's doing or the many good things, some of which you just named. What say you? Well, I think Donald Trump is very impressive about things like that because he doesn't get excited. He doesn't overreact.

[00:21:06] He doesn't, you know, complain about it. He just takes them to court. So, you know, they're talking about these wacky judges that are out in California and Oregon and Washington State. They find these liberal judges. And now the Supreme Court is kind of doing a silly thing about the USA aid package. And I think Trump's going to win that. He's going to fix it. He's going to go after other judges. He's going to move it up. The Supreme Court gave some silly answer about that that I really didn't understand.

[00:21:35] But it's like, okay, that's our initial decision. But we're going to look at it again and just start cutting out this wasted money where they give money to all kind of weird countries that you've never even heard of, you know, to help cats or to help gay people or help this or help that or help weird things. And that obviously needs to be cut out. It's so basic. And even some of the Supreme Court justices are extremely frustrated by what happened. So I think you just have to be patient. Wait a few days. I think there's going to be a fix on that.

[00:22:06] And I hope you're right. Yeah. Clarence Thomas was very angry. He was very vocal about this decision. And one of the reasons why that Amy Coney Barrett went along with this is because she has become an anti-Trumper, by the way. And, you know, after there were those illegal protests in front of her home, but they were in front of all the justices' homes, by the way. But I guess she said, well, how dare they?

[00:22:31] And she didn't want to seem like she supported Trump that much anymore so that it's like, leave me alone, rather than standing on principle like Clarence Thomas and Alito. And the others know that she decides to lean with the liberal judges. And I include Justice Roberts in that collection of liberal judges based upon his history, even though he calls himself a conservative. But that's a lie.

[00:23:01] And it just continues to go on and on and on like that. But I'm going to take your opinion and run with that because we do want the Trump administration to win these battles. And we shall continue winning on the Run Edwards American Experience with our guest right after this.

[00:23:26] Thank you, President Trump, for standing up to Hamas terrorists. Hello, I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:23:52] On today's page from the original book brought to you by Root Brands, premium products for your body and soul. We will never forget that fateful October 7th day when horrible Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, captured Israeli and American Jews, both adults and children. As a result, as is custom with uncivilized, brutish Islamic terrorists, they raped the women, sodomized men, beheaded babies, and even cooked one alive in a microwave oven.

[00:24:17] So it was no surprise when Israel, under the strong leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu, when the little nation that could pummeled Gaza into the Stone Age. Then, Israel had to defend herself from continuous missile attacks from Lebanon. By the way, for decades, Israel has endured daily missile attacks from beyond her borders with no mention in the traditional dying dragon media.

[00:24:41] It's been disappointing to continue hearing individuals I respect, like Candace Owens and Andrew Tate, present the Palestinians who support Hamas and call for the death of Israel and America as poor little victims of Israel. Thank God President Trump properly understands the right of Israel to exist and defend herself against those who seek to spread Islam throughout the world. I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:26:35] The new voice of America. Welcome back. This is the Ron Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:27:02] Our guest today is a retired Colonel Alan Campbell. Welcome back, Colonel. You know, gosh darn it. Every time you say, well, here's some good news, but I have to share this. Nearly 6,000 probationary workers at the Department of Agriculture were reinstated. After fired Biden holdover, Hampton Dillinger fought to restore the employees.

[00:27:29] The Trump administration recently fired thousands of probationary workers who were part of the bureaucracy at the Department of Agriculture. Trump fired Hampton Dillinger. But corrupt Ali Obama appointed judge Amy Berman Jackson reinstated them. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has since allowed his firing to proceed.

[00:27:52] In the meantime, Hampton Dillinger sought to block President Trump from firing the thousands of probationary employees and got his way for at least for now. And, Colonel, this is the kind of stuff that I'm talking about. I don't mean to sound unhinged about it, but these stories just keep on popping up.

[00:28:13] And, you know, we've got to bring this to an end if we are going to make any headway against this huge bureaucracy that is designed to basically corrupt our country from within and destroy her. And if you don't believe me, that's exactly their goal. Then I've got a Lake Erie Bridge to sell you that goes from Cleveland to Canada. And what say you, sir?

[00:28:45] Well, it's an interesting concept, but it's way out of my pay grade because, you know, 77 million people voted for Donald Trump. Yeah. So at some point, people have to say, you know, that's not slack. That's substantial. And I think Vance is going to be a good follow-up. He may not be. Somebody else may come up. But if they get 12 years of Republican good people in the White House, they can turn this thing around.

[00:29:11] You add the previous presidents and how they've gotten people hired in the Justice Department and DOJ and all these various things, there's a load to carry. They've got a lot of stuff to dig through. And so they're going to get, you know, sidelined all the way down the track. But Trump is excellent at being patient, going to court, going to several different levels of court, finally getting to spring court. He'll get his way. It just takes time.

[00:29:41] And I think every day we just have to kind of sit back and relax and be patient. We're going to get there, but it's just not going to be instant. Well, you know, I've got my popcorn. I've been watching the show with great anticipation.

[00:29:55] In looking at other developments, I'm sure you're well aware of the little verbal skirmish that occurred at the White House when little Zelensky showed up with the backing of Democrats and the European NATO leaders. And he strode in there thinking that he was all that in a bag of chips and that he could stand up to Trump and Vance. And, well, they kind of showed him the door.

[00:30:23] And now, since Trump has withdrawn our technology, no more intelligence that is – are they giving to Ukraine or anything like that? And I just read today that they've been having some misfirings with some of their missiles, missing their targets or whatever. And their drones aren't working quite as well all of a sudden. So I thought that was very disrespectful.

[00:30:52] And I was glad and proud the way he stood up to Mr. Zelensky. And I've said from the beginning of the entire war that Putin was not the bad guy in this particular situation. And it seems like – well, it doesn't seem like it. I've been proven correct on this many times over.

[00:31:13] And when you look at what has been going on in Ukraine for many years, the corruption, the money laundering, which Uncle Joe Biden participated in. In fact, I just read this morning, again, Zelensky still going after sincere Christian churches and things of that nature. Beating old ladies out of churches. Not him directly, but his henchmen. And things of that nature.

[00:31:42] And that have been going on for years under him. And it doesn't bode well, in my opinion, for this Zelensky regime, let's say you. Well, I think he got taught a very good lesson. He went over there and tried to be weird with President Trump. And apparently he had met with Democrats before, and who knows what they told him or what deal they promised. But Trump just had his way with him. And he said, leave.

[00:32:11] No lunch. Get out of here. You're cut off. We're going to cut off your money. We're going to cut off your weapons. Have a nice day. Hey, well, funny thing, a few days later, Zelensky is finally kind of coming around, saying, I'll sign the deal. I'll get back with you. I think he just needed that little bit of a wake-up call. And I think they were so – they dealt with Biden for so many years, or whoever ran the country for four years wasn't Biden.

[00:32:39] And they finally realized that Trump is the man what's in charge. And so they've got to deal with that guy. And he is incredibly brilliant in the way he deals with it. He doesn't get excited. He doesn't get mad. He didn't throw him out. He just told him what was happening. And I think Zelensky kind of had the wake-up call, and now he's going to come around and sign the deal and do what he should have done in the first place. Amen to that.

[00:33:04] You know, as an American, you're an American, a great patriot yourself, who spent a wonderful career in the military. And the military is one of the most racially blind elements of our country, where it has been based upon a meritocracy.

[00:33:25] Now, I find it very insulting that a Democratic National Committee newly minted executive director has stated that America was built on the foundation of racism. Has there been racism? Yes. But that being our foundation, I say no. What say you? Well, I grew up in a southern town, and there was racism.

[00:33:54] We were talking the other day about the local theater, and the black people had to go in a separate door and go upstairs, and the white people went in a separate door and went downstairs. And that's how I grew up, and that was normal. And I'm so glad to see that gone. That's just over. I don't have a problem. I want people with quality. I couldn't care. Male, female, black, oriental, it just doesn't matter. And that's when I talk about pilots, people flying in the Air Force or the Navy Marines. I don't care if you're a female.

[00:34:23] If you're a good pilot and there's some on the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds, being a female is never a negative. Maybe in the Marines, maybe going into combat, maybe carrying those heavy loads and all that kind of stuff, that might be an issue. But there's a lot of places where they can take it with anybody. And I'm impressed now. When I was in the Air Force, there were no women flying pilots. And now they're all over the place, and there's just no problem with that. I think it's a good thing. Yeah.

[00:34:51] Yeah, where you're qualified, you should be. But I don't think that people, whether it's in the military or a corporation or a small mom-and-pop business, I don't think they should hire people based upon, oh, wait a minute. Even though 90% of all engineers are men, by choice, because no one is putting a gun to the head of females and say you've got to be an engineer or vice versa.

[00:35:20] You know, by choice, by the nature of men, they gravitate more towards engineering.

[00:35:25] But for DEI-oriented companies to say, well, you know what, we're going to have to make sure that we turn away merit-based individuals so that we make sure that we have 50% females or minorities who didn't go to good schools because Democrats run these school departments that make sure that minorities are not well educated. And so they're trapped in that jar, okay?

[00:35:54] But at the same time, but, well, wait a minute, we've got to hire these people that are not qualified. And that causes division, too. That causes agitation and can indirectly cause racism because people won't look at the facts of bad education, which the children had no charge over, but they'll just look at, oh, here we go again, these unqualified folks, yada, yada, yada.

[00:36:20] But this is all part of, in my opinion, the design to create division in our nation. And this is why I really like the Trump administration for wanting to go after the Department of Education so that we can have good education for all American children and then create that foundation and the spirit of meritocracy and may the best win. What say you?

[00:36:46] That takes me into my area of expertise because I had a real problem with the FAA. And they wouldn't hire men. They were hiring women. They were hiring this, that, and the other thing because they wanted to, you know, play that status game. And so they weren't necessarily hiring qualified people. I don't care if you're man, woman from Mexico or it doesn't matter if you're qualified. That's who they should hire. And that's what got the FAA in a lot of trouble. They hired unqualified people.

[00:37:16] I couldn't do that job. You have to be special to be in air traffic control. And so I think that got them in a world of hurt. And I think the Trump administration has gone in there and said, okay, we're going to stop that. The FAA has made some huge mistakes. And now we're just going to hire qualified people. We're going to get them trained as soon as possible because the staffing is down. We're going to get the staffing back up to the proper level. And we're going to cut out this nonsense. And it's not just the FAA.

[00:37:44] I'm sure it's up in other big places of the federal government where they just feel like they have to play that game. And I think the new administration is going to shut that down and say, no, you hire the right people. All that DEI, male, female stuff doesn't matter. Yeah. And we have to get to the root of the matter. We have to make sure that our education is returned to excellence so that everyone has an equal opportunity because that's what America is about.

[00:38:12] Equal opportunity, not equal results. And once we adopt, re-adopt that mentality, I think we're going to have great days ahead. Sir, are there any final words you'd like to share with us concerning your career or how you see things going in our country and anything else? Well, I mean, I'd just like to say a few words about the fact that I wrote a book called My Life Above the Clouds, and it's available on Amazon.com.

[00:38:41] But I didn't write it for me, and I didn't write it to make money. I wrote it so that you could read it and say, oh, that's a pretty good story. Give it to your kids and just say, look what all is available in this country. I mean, this is the best country on the planet. You can be ordinary. You can be from a small town. You can be a nobody. But you can go for it and decide what you want to do when you grow up. Don't do drugs. Don't get arrested. Don't be stupid. And if you don't know what you want to be, go in the military. Get in the Navy. You get on an aircraft carrier.

[00:39:11] Cruise around the world. Two or three years later, you get the GI benefit. You can go to college. You can go be a plumber, truck driver. I don't care. But now you're focused, and you know what you want to be when you grow up. So buy this book. Give it to your kids and say, read this and see what an ordinary person in this fabulous country can do. Amen. Thank you so much, sir. And thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. Be with us today. And all the best to you. Thank you.

[00:42:27] The Ron Edwards American Experience, a charter member of the emerging new mainstream media. It's not the biggest, but your voices and actions are. So don't give up. Ron Edwards, the new voice of America.

[00:43:00] And we're back. This is the Ron Edwards American Experience. Thanks so much for being with us today. You know, Ontario, they're kind of threatening us again. Ontario Premier, Doug Ford, it says it's going to be lights out for America. Canada threatens to cut off electricity to New York, Maine and elsewhere. It's not going to be pretty.

[00:43:26] And see, you know, in a way, see, there's a positive side to this. OK, and the positive side, my friends, is that we, the American people, have to make sure that we in this country are independent. See, independence has more than just being free to do as we please here in this country as individuals, as sovereign individuals. It means that our country is independent.

[00:43:56] And one of the hallmarks of the United States of America, if we would start partaking of these things, is that the United States of America is one of the few nations on Earth that does not need the rest of the planet at all. It doesn't need to trade with other nations, even to be very prosperous. Seriously, it doesn't.

[00:44:19] But Americans need to reconfigure their way of thinking about trade, about relations with other nations. The founding fathers had warned us, don't get involved in entanglements with other nations. Where you have your own, use your own. Even the great Booker T. Washington said, hey, prosper where you're at.

[00:44:48] And New York State, Michigan, and all these other states throughout America has enough and more than enough of ingredients and know-how and willpower, if they will act upon that willpower, to sustain their own electricity. And where we don't have the oil or the natural gas, there's something called nuclear power.

[00:45:16] Not that far from here, about an hour and a half, there's a huge nuclear power plant called Davis Bessie. Old Davis Bessie. She's in Ohio, and she lights up Toledo and on into Cleveland. Big, beautiful nuclear power plant. And guess what? They try to pull the plug, and they're not going to be impacted.

[00:45:43] But it's this purposely drawn up dependency factor. And leftists in America love us to be dependent upon other nations so that we can be jammed like this. Okay? They don't want America to be great and independent. They don't want us to be in a position where we can tell the world where to get off.

[00:46:03] Because much of the rest of the world is in line with the leftist philosophical base of the Democrats and rhinos in this country that want America on her knees. So when someone like Trump comes along, we can be threatened like this. Well, I, and hopefully the people of these states, will back President Trump and say, you know what? We have to do what we have to do.

[00:46:33] We have to build our own stuff. We have to utilize our own stuff. We have more than enough water. We have more than enough minerals. There are a few that we, very few minerals that we don't have a lot of. But those minerals that we really desperately need, we don't need to go to Canada to get it.

[00:46:54] And some of those minerals that we desperately need that we don't have a lot of in use are out west, under territory that is owned unconstitutionally, in my opinion, by the federal government. So we should be in a position where we could tell Canada to kiss off, back up, and we run our own businesses. And see, President Trump did nothing wrong.

[00:47:22] All he did was to even out the tariff situation. If it takes a 25% tariff for us to sell a car in Canada, and we simply even it out, why should we be persecuted or harmed by the premier of Ontario? Oh, we don't want you looking out for yourself, so we're going to screw you another way.

[00:47:51] And this is the kind of attitude that is being exhibited in Western Europe, our so-called NATO allies, who have been disrespecting this country for decades, for longer than I've been alive. And so it's high time, and it is a blessing that we have someone like President Trump and his administration, his wonderful cabinet, that are finally standing up for this country.

[00:48:18] And if we have to go through a bit of discomfort during this period of transformation into becoming truly independent, then oh well. Prayerfully that during these chilly days, they won't be cut off, that something can be worked out. I pray for that.

[00:48:39] But if something has worked out, then that means we should work very quickly to become independent so we can say, now what? And the Europeans are just as angry at us about the tariffs, the possible tariffs and all of that. They don't want us looking out for ourselves. The Chinese are pissed off.

[00:49:02] It costs much more for the United States to sell anything in China or just about anywhere in the world, South Korea. And many of these countries, by the way, are mightily blessed by the United States. We've been overly generous to the entire planet Earth. Have we done wrong things? Yes. Under the Ali Obama administration, we wrongfully killed Gaddafi.

[00:49:29] They took him out because he became a good guy who was actually helping his people, and he was more in tune with the West. And then Ali Obama said, well, we're going to have to get him out of the way because he actually kind of likes the United States. So they took him out. But back at the ranch, folks, we have to become truly independent as the United States of America.

[00:49:56] Because our philosophical base, if you take the time to look at our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our Federalist Papers, etc., it's different from Germany's, from England. And another part of our independence is maintaining what it is to be Americans.

[00:50:17] I don't want us to get to the point where it is in England, where Islam actually rules England more than anything else. The House of Windsor. Islam rules that place now. I mean, Queen Elizabeth must be spinning in her grave. This is awful. But that's their business.

[00:50:46] We don't have to go that way. The great state of Texas. You don't have to allow the Islamists to continue building that giant Muslim enclave outside of Dallas. You need to stop it because those people, as they have announced, the people that are building that Muslim enclave have announced, hey, this is how you take over another country. You build yourself in and then you spread out.

[00:51:16] Take over their politics. Take over their media and persuade them. They did it in Sweden. They've done it in England. How many lessons do we have to learn? And all you leftist American females, just because you don't like Trump, because you don't like strong men, yada, yada, yada. You talk smack now.

[00:51:42] Like you're in favor of the Islamists because they are against the United States. But you'll be the first ones to be taken down if the Islamists do take over. Because no one respects a traitor to their own country. Your enemies do not respect you because you happen to be a traitor of the United States. Unless there's someone they can buy off who's in power and they still don't respect you. They just use you.

[00:52:12] For the greater for their greater goal. So if you like living a good life as an American, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and enjoy the blessings of America, you got to we have to change our mindset, my fellow Americans. So that we don't end up in a situation like what we're being threatened with right now with the province of Ontario saying we're going to cut off here. We're going to cut your electricity off because you're standing up for yourself. Huh? Excuse me.

[00:52:42] But I pray that Trump doesn't back off because that only makes it worse. Anyway, now that I see that my time is up. Thank you so much for your time. That's all, folks. Tags that stage right. And as I always say at this time, remember to pray for your nation. Pray for your family. Pray for your friends. And yes, pray for your enemies that they get it right before it's too late.

[00:53:11] And also, my friends, do not forget to treat others the same way you would want to be treated. I'm on networks. Bye now. Bye now. Bye now. Bye now. Bye now.
