The Ron Edwards American Experience-250402

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

[00:00:15] Say A, say M, say E, say R, say I, C, 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] Every day, yep, truth is what it's all about. Well, today is Liberation Day, thank God almighty. Liberation, man, liberation finally from those unfair tariffs around the world. It's not merely symbolic, my friends. It's way overdue. For over 50 years, the consensus position was that America should absorb these shocks for the sake of global harmony.

[00:01:45] In other words, we're supposed to continue to take it up the rear, tariff-wise, to make everyone else happy but us. Trump's first term cracked that consensus. His second appears ready to bury that unfair practice alive or dead. Given the trade barriers faced by U.S. businesses around the world and co-workers all around the globe, the globe, rather, the gnashing of teeth over President Trump's tariff proposals,

[00:02:15] brings to mind the words of the Prophet Jeremiah. Quote, Those words famously repurposed by Patrick Henry in the spring of 1775 are not out of place here. It is a win, it is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter.

[00:02:42] Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun. Liberation Day is not a provocation, not at all. It is the recognition that the economic war was long ago declared, just not by us. Now, we're looking forward to President Trump presenting the full details of Liberation Day, beginning at 4 p.m., right after the end of this great show.

[00:03:11] So make sure you tune in to that. And by the way, I just want to run by you a few of the unfair tariffs that the United States has been taking for a long, long time. Right now, the European Union charges a 50% tariff on American dairy products.

[00:03:33] And from our wonderful friends in Japan, they slap on a 700% tariff on American rice. And India, our good old buddies there, slap on a 100% tariff on American agricultural products, no matter what they are. And you can expect a 300% tariff on American butter and cheese.

[00:04:01] And that's just four of the many, the dozens of tariffs that the United States has been putting up with for at least 50 years. So it is finally, finally. You know, President Trump is the only president other than Ronald Reagan who at least addressed these tariffs during his administrations. But Trump is the first one in my lifetime to actually seek to truly do something about it. And we have to commend him for that.

[00:04:31] If you look at the unfair trade practices, that we have 50% from European Union on American dairy, you have 700% tariffs from Japan on American rice. So, you know, it just goes on and on and on. And don't let me get started on American automobiles, the kind of tariffs they face in Germany and elsewhere, these so-called buddies of ours.

[00:04:59] If these nations around the world are our friends, you know, sometimes I cannot tell the difference between enemy nations and so-called allies. I really can't. Because all of these nations agree on one thing, to figure out ways to screw the United States. It's not right.

[00:05:23] And that's why I've said for decades, literally for decades, that the United States is one of the few nations on the entire globe that could really tell the rest of the world, you know what? We don't want to be bothered. And we could, by ourselves, become the wealthiest economy in the world.

[00:05:44] Because we have just about all the natural resources we need, all the minerals, definitely all the petroleum, all the coal, the ability to build nuclear power plants. And there's plenty, oh my gosh, there's oodles of natural gas.

[00:06:04] And we could just reestablish our own manufacturing in different states and focus in on producing our own agricultural products for ourselves. And at the same time, maintain a very strong military. We have the potential to, once again, have the number one health care system in the world. We have two of the best hospitals on the planet. The Mayo Clinic and the number two hospital in the world, the Cleveland Clinic.

[00:06:35] And so we can build from there. We have these so-called med beds coming out and other things coming online in the not too distant future that will be very remarkable when it comes to health care. And so the future could really look bright if the United States would just grow up here and just be able to say, you know what? We don't want to get pissed off and start a war one day. So we'll just leave the rest of you people alone.

[00:07:05] And like I said, strengthen our military to the point where they would not dare come and mess with us. And just get permission from certain nations around the world to maintain strategic military bases here and there just to keep a watch on things for our interests. And leave these other nations alone.

[00:07:29] I mean, I've often said for decades as well, you know, you have these other nations around the world that say, well, we're better than the United States. You people in the United States, you're stupid. You're this, that, and the other. Our society is better than yours. And you have many people in America now that say that other countries are much better. Well, I say that America has some problems and we need to get our act together. That is true.

[00:07:57] But I also would say at the same time to those who say that all these other nations are much better. I wouldn't even disagree with them. I'd say, you know what? Then go leave us alone and we'll continue to work on ourselves. You work on yourselves and we'll see how things turn out. I would especially do that with nations like China. Because without us, China would still, they'd still be riding bicycles.

[00:08:26] And all the men wearing gray jackets. Remember those pictures? There used to be Beijing. No, Peking. Peking. Under Mao Zedong. And you'd see these pictures of millions of people riding their bicycles. You wouldn't know where the heck they're going. All going in the same direction. And, you know, I would say, you know what? We cut all ties. No trading. I mean, immediately.

[00:08:55] See, because either way. And yes, there would be a temporary economic upheaval. Well, but we're going to have a temporary economic upheaval anyway. As we straighten out this tariff situation. So either way, there's going to be something.

[00:09:17] But really, I just, you know, sometimes you just have to, you know, just like nations sometimes have to pull away and leave everyone else alone. Just like individuals sometimes you have to pull yourself away from certain people. And you leave them alone. You cut yourself off. And you build yourself up. You build your, you know, you get closer with God. And you just work on yourself. You go to the gym. Get in shape. You do a lot of reading. Get your mind straight.

[00:09:47] And when you come back out, you're better as a person. And sometimes I think as a nation we need to do that. And then clean our own house out. Clean out the socialists that want to destroy this country from within. Clean them out. Get intelligent on our side, on the conservative side. Get rid of people like Mike Johnson.

[00:10:14] And I'm going to tell you, Mike Johnson is nothing more than controlled, fake opposition. That numbnuts, you know, he has shut down Congress. And we'll talk about that and other stuff when we return on this, the Ron Edwards American Experience. What's up, folks? Stay tuned. Be right back after these important messages.

[00:13:06] It's the Ron Edwards American Experience talk show where our unalienable rights are celebrated. Yeah, speaking of backstabbers, by the way, you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:13:35] Thanks so much for tuning in. But, you know, speaking of backstabbers, and that's the only thing I can call when I think of when I say the name of Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House. And why on earth would the man shut down Congress for a week when we're almost in an emergency situation when it comes to needing to pass Trump's legislation?

[00:14:05] These tax cuts, the spending cuts, the military budget, and on and on and on. And because of a little squabble with Luna, Representative Luna, deciding to leave the Freedom Caucus over a particular issue that is not impactful on the entire nation. He says, oh, well, I'm going to shut down the House because of the squabble.

[00:14:30] No, that was an excuse that he is using in order to slow down the Trump agenda. See, I think that Mike Johnson is very good friends with Hakeem Jeffries. I really do. He may thump his Bible and talk about how close he is to God.

[00:14:53] But his actions show that he's closer and more aligned and more in tuned with his boy, Hakeem Jeffries. I'm just saying. Actions speak a lot louder than words. And speaking of Democrats, they're demanding that President Trump return deported gang members to the United States.

[00:15:20] Why on earth would any representative like Jamie Raskin of Maryland, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, why would they demand that the president of the United States, which, by the way, has the duty to protect us from enemies, both foreign and domestic?

[00:15:39] And he's flown out gang members who were brought in, right, by the way, illegally by the previous administration to help destroy this country from within. So he kicks them out. And you have a representative saying, uh-uh, we want those people back. Bring them back. Because they have the right to a fair trial.

[00:16:03] But yet Raskin and most of the members of Congress on both sides of the aisle didn't care about the J6ers getting any fair trials. I didn't hear Raskin or any other ones bellowing about how cruelly the J6ers were treated in jail when they were beaten, when they were given dirty water, when they were forced to sleep on cement floors,

[00:16:32] stay in the dark for weeks at a time. Those that wanted Bibles were denied for a time. They were given rancid food. I didn't hear or read about Raskin or any of these other rascals calling for, oh, they should have trials. They should have just trials.

[00:16:58] When those judges did not allow the J6ers to bring in their evidence to prove that they're innocents in these trumped-up charges, I didn't hear Jamie Raskin saying, oh, oh, my God, allow them to bring in their information so they can at least have a fair trial. I'd never heard that.

[00:17:18] But yet gang members who have been proven, these MS-13 gang members who have been proven to rape, rob, murder, some of them, do all kinds of horrible things to people. You know, break car windows, do all kinds of things.

[00:17:43] So they're booted out of the country and Democrats want them brought back into the country and let loose. You know how Alvin Bragg lets criminals loose who commit acts of wrongdoing on the streets of New York. They're captured by the police. They arrest them, bring them in. Alvin Bragg says, hey, let them go, let them go, let them go, let them go.

[00:18:08] But Alvin Bragg and Letitia James still are still salivating at the thought of throwing Trump in jail forever over made-up charges. Very interesting. Very interesting. And by the way, this Supreme Court deal in Wisconsin. Oh, boy. See, what they hope to do in Wisconsin is work out a little gerrymandering deal.

[00:18:39] In which two Republican seats in the House would be wiped out. Kaput. All gone. And it is a true blessing. I'm going to tell you, it's a true blessing that the Florida voters, they did the right thing in voting in these two Republicans in the Sunshine State. I tell you, had that not have occurred, this conversation would be a lot more negative than it is.

[00:19:10] So, you know, we are in a war. You know, PG time is over. The left, they seem to never sleep. And so we have to be the same way.

[00:19:31] At 24 hours of the day, some of us on our side have to be awake at the switch, not only watching what the left is doing, but taking action to thwart what they're doing. And also go on the offense to push forth Trump's agenda that is, I would say, 99% good for this country.

[00:20:01] I'm happy to see that the Trump administration has frozen tens of millions of dollars in Title X funds to abortion giant Planned Parenthood. And to me, it's been an insult to common sense that they've had one dime of taxpayer funding because they don't need it. They have made billions of dollars in addition to the tax funding that they've received.

[00:20:30] The Planned Parenthood affiliates said that the Democrat Department of Health and Human Services informed them that their funding is being temporarily withheld. Now, see, that's got to be made permanent. Now, see, if we had a worthwhile Speaker of the House, someone would say, you know what? Let's come up with legislation to make this permanent. Boom. Make it permanent.

[00:20:58] Get it to the president's desk. And then there you go. See, all these executive actions have to be made permanent. But we don't have a worthwhile House right now, especially we don't have a worthwhile Speaker. And I'll go ahead and say we don't have a worthwhile House. We don't. Because those jokers voted for Michael Johnson, Mike Johnson, who had already proven to be unworthy.

[00:21:28] Then they reestablished him as Speaker of the House. It's as if people on our side don't want things to be too good. Oh, no, we can't have too much of an advantage. We always have to be on the cliff. Our side, we always have to be in a struggle. Oh, no, we can't have too much victory. It really seems that way. It may not be, but it certainly seems to be.

[00:21:57] Their actions prove me to be correct, whether they mean that or not. But their actions have shown through the years, with the exception of Ronald Reagan administration. And President Trump is trying to do the thing, do the right thing. But unfortunately, the House has been a big impediment.

[00:22:19] And you really will see evidence of that in the weeks ahead, especially now that Mikey has said, well, we're taking a break for a week. And he continues to slow walk legislation. And you have motor mouths like Jim Jordan. I watched him today. What a waste of hot air. He's a good talker, but he's like Trey Gowdy. A whole lot of talking.

[00:22:48] Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But no action. He never backs up the action. That's why his talk becomes... It's one thing to talk a good talk. But if you never back it up, if you never do your job, you just talk about your job. You talk about what's wrong. But you have the power to do something about it, but you don't do anything about it.

[00:23:14] That makes you nothing more than a backside, as far as I'm concerned. You're a wasteful backside. I'm Ron Edwards. We'll be right back after this. The Ron Edwards American Experience. Where our unalienable rights are celebrated.

[00:24:00] For 30 years, people throughout the United States, Western Europe, and NATO, and elsewhere, have declared Russian President Vladimir Putin enemy number one. But is it true? Hello, I'm Ron Edwards. On today's page from your watch notebook, either people don't know nothing and got that mixed up, or they're on a mission of deception. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, I warned that NATO and the United States had been poking the bear.

[00:24:27] One of the ways Putin was aggravated via NATO, with the United States backing, totally disregarding, a signed agreement between NATO and Russia, which guaranteed NATO would not move its boundaries or weapons any closer to Russia. Then Ukraine went to nutsville with human trafficking. Ironically, when leftist globalist politicians and others tried to murder President Donald Trump, according to special envoy Steve Vyritkoff,

[00:24:54] Putin attended church to pray for Trump after the 2024 assassination attempt. Putin also presented Trump with a specially commissioned portrait painted by one of Russia's leading artists. What an irony. Vladimir Putin prays for Donald Trump, while globalist U.S. politicians are still finding ways to try to kill our exceptional nation way of life. Hmm. So who's the real enemy? I'm Ron Edwards.

[00:25:24] 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.

K-Star Talk Radio Network, Liberty Works Radio Network, V-A-R-A Network, Lancashire Lighthouse Radio, Liberty News Radio, LibertyTalk.fm, Ron Edwards,

[00:26:51] the new voice of America. We're back, we're back, we're back. I'm Ron Edwards, you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. Well,

[00:27:20] Trump gets blocked again. I mean, this is getting tired. I'm not tired, but this is tired. A corrupt judge has blocked Trump from deporting 350,000 Venezuelan illegal border crossers. You know, and this stuff is just crazy. But I suggested that the president go ahead and do it anyway. He might as well.

[00:27:47] Because if we don't get these things out of this country, what will happen? I'll tell you what will happen. In time, if they're not getting, if they're not allowed to be deported out of this country, the Democrats and the rhinos will find ways to get those jokers on the voting rolls.

[00:28:14] And they will continue to give them social security numbers and get social security benefits. You don't believe me? Well, guess what? Arrest is imminent because of a massive social security theft involving 400,000 stolen identities and financial fraud scheme. That was announced yesterday.

[00:28:42] And you know who those 400,000 people? Those identities that were stolen? They were given to illegal border crossers. In a massive social security fraud scheme involving the stolen identities of over 400,000 Americans given to illegal border crossers. This is according to Elon Musk. The theft, the theft, the theft,

[00:29:07] the theft must claim as part of a sophisticated financial theft operation tied not only to illegal border crossers, even though in this case, most of them are dealing with illegal border crossers. defrauding U.S. social welfare systems, but also a widespread voter fraud enabled by the Democrat Party's open borders agenda. I guess that does tie in back to the illegal border crossers.

[00:29:35] He spoke directly to voters in the Badger State yesterday. They got a split instead of an overall win, but they got a split in the elections there in the Badger State. But Musk pointed, painted a grim picture of a government drowning in incompetence and corruption. Thousands of systems, many of them are very, very old systems. Some of the software is older than Barron Trump.

[00:30:07] Man, oh man, oh man. You've got boondoggles like the IRS modernization project started in 1995, which bureaucrats perpetually claims is five years away from completion. So imagine, you've got a modernization project that started in 1995, being funded every single year, and every single year since 1995, they've been saying, oh,

[00:30:36] you know the completion is five years away. Can you imagine how much money that is alone? And where that money went? That's very, very interesting. And I find it very, very interesting that 1.3 million illegal border crossers

[00:31:05] already on Medicaid, on every benefit program, they had gone through, they sifted through, they found groups from a group of people, 5.5 million people, on benefit programs. And we're talking about illegal border crossers. This isn't Americans cheating in the system, and I'm sure there may be some Americans, but the majority of the cheating in the system today that's being found

[00:31:36] is illegal border crossers. Now, they're not cheating on their own. This was given to them as reward for coming into the country to help the Democrats destroy the fabric of our country, and of course, become voters for Democrats, which would help facilitate the destruction of our country, and wipe out our unalienable rights. So,

[00:32:06] the evidence is undeniable, according to Musk and others. And, by sampling voter registration records, they uncovered non-citizens who do not only, are not registered, but voted in American elections. And a lot of them. So, they've been referred to prosecution at Homeland Security Investigations, and, um,

[00:32:35] the person responsible for the, uh, 400,000 ID theft operation is likely to be arrested in the very, very near future. I can't wait to learn who that particular individual is. They also diverted FEMA funds, which are supposed to be for helping Americans in distress from natural disasters to pay for luxury hotels in New York City for illegal border crossers to stay in.

[00:33:05] And speaking of luxury hotels, the Roosevelt, which you know has been a, uh, spot for the illegals, and they're going to be closing that by, um, June, I believe. But you would think by closing that, there would be a reduction in the number of illegals in New York, right? Because they'd be, if you close down a facility, you think, oh, they're going to be kicked out. Well, not exactly.

[00:33:37] You know, in the face of protests from Brooklyn residents, they've already, uh, constructed a 2,000 bed facility for men only. in Brooklyn to be moved in that area because, you know, New York City remains a sanctuary city. And so, you know, the liberals or the leftists want to destroy our greatest cities. Because, see,

[00:34:07] our great cities symbolize and show to the world our greatness or lack of their end of, of America. America. And when you compare the American cities to cities around the world, increasingly, our cities are paling in comparison to the beauty of other cities around the world or greatness of other cities around the world. We no longer have the tallest buildings in the world.

[00:34:39] And in some cities, like Cleveland, crime has dramatically decreased, but that's an exception to the rule. But for the most part, a crime is still very rampant in cities. The Dragon Media is not reporting on a lot of that because a lot of the crime is still being committed by illegal border crossers which are not being rounded up as they should be in places like Chicago,

[00:35:09] San Diego, San Francisco, Boston, and elsewhere. But see, Americans, and I pray that we still have this, this, this, this, um, in our blood that Americans can only be pushed so far before they push back. And there may come a time when Americans say, you know what, we feel like we're on our own and we've been pushed

[00:35:38] too far in the corner and we have no choice but to push back and push hard for our own survival. And we have to start pushing back before it's too late, before we're unable to thrive and produce in this country. Because there are countries all over the world that have gone through these types of Bolshevik or communist

[00:36:08] transformations, many of them decades ago. And to this very day, the people in those nations are suffering. They're suffering like crazy. and so, South Africa comes to mind when it comes to the suffering of the people. Overall, they're living worse than they did under apartheid as far as the quality of life.

[00:36:38] So, they traded one oppression for another. They said, we won't live under the white man's apartheid in South Africa, but they took on the white man's communism. And now blacks are killing other blacks in massive numbers in South Africa. Mainly, communists and Muslims are killing Christians and non-Muslims in South Africa. America. And so,

[00:37:08] I don't know what it is about certain people that like to just murder their own kind in great numbers. Happens in the United States, happens in Africa. Amazing. The Texas House of Representatives has just passed a resolution recognizing March 23rd as from now on beginning next year, it will be Pakistan Day. A day to honor

[00:37:38] Pakistan-American communities in the state. Additionally, there are plans for a new community called Epic City in Josephine, Texas, which is just outside of Dallas. Now, we did hear in the news where the great Governor Abbott has put a kibosh on that, but this announcement came just a couple of hours ago, and I'm looking at them, they slammed the gavel down in the state legislature of Texas starting next year,

[00:38:07] March 23rd, will be Pakistan Day. And so, they're going ahead. They say that Epic City, the Muslim enclave, will offer a variety of housing options, including single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, and senior living facilities. The development of Epic City is intended to provide a community that blends with nature and enhances living experiences for its residents under Sharia law, of course.

[00:38:37] Now, I don't know what Governor Abbott is going to do, because didn't he say just the other day, oh, here's a letter right here from Governor Abbott. He says, announced that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality found that the East Plano Islamic Center and affiliated entities have not obtained the required authorizations

[00:39:07] or permits needed for construction and development of the proposed Epic City and affiliated entities to notify them that any construction would be in violation of state law and order them to confirm that they have not engaged in any construction activities. So, that's going to be pretty interesting to see how that pans out in the Lone Star State. Who will win? American oriented Greg Abbott or the kowtowing

[00:39:36] state legislature which is kissing the backsides of the Islamists? Stay tuned and I'll be right back on the Ron Edwards American Experience.

[00:43:05] swamp just got even more exposed and it's worse than anyone ever thought. In a bombshell revelation, we found that the Department of Government Efficiency, Doge rather, found and accused the U.S. Institute of Peace of deleting a informational book or whatever of financial data in a desperate attempt to cover up massive corruption.

[00:43:34] The accusation comes amid a fiery standoff between Doge and USIP, a taxpayer-funded outfit President Donald Trump ordered dismantled earlier this year. Now, they tried to cover it up and they tried to hide it technologically, but because of government incompetence, the Elon Musk gang were able to dig it out. And they said they're going to fully expose it in the coming

[00:44:04] days ahead, but it was about a month ago tensions boiled over when Musk's efficiency squad backed by FBI agents and D.C. Metro Police stormed the Institute's headquarters, evicting its staff after days of resistance. Now, George Moose, the now-fired acting president of USIP, tried in vain to cast the takeover as illegal, insisting his agency was off-limits because of its non-profit status. But the fact remains, the Institute

[00:44:34] is funded by taxpayer dollars and is operated with almost no oversight whatsoever. The standoff followed Trump's February executive order to slash unnecessary government entities. Now, the Department of Government Efficiencies discovered at the United States Institute of Peace reveals Washington's dirty secret. Agencies often do precisely the opposite of their stated mission.

[00:45:04] When Doge investigators finally gained access to USIP's books after days and days of institutional resistance requiring FBI intervention, they uncovered the unthinkable. $132,000 funneled to a former Taliban member and $1.3 million to an Iraqi organization with questionable ties, to say the least. Now, this fits a devastating pattern. Back in 2019, Special Inspector General

[00:45:34] report found that $19 billion, yep, that's $19 billion with a B, in USA to Afghanistan was unaccounted for or misused between 2002 and 2016, showing how routinely taxpayer money flows to our so-called adversaries under noble pretenses. business. Even more disturbing was the attempted cover-up. The USIP officials deleted

[00:46:03] a huge amount of financial data, hoping to hide their tracks, not realizing Doge's technological capabilities would recover everything, every little bit of it. A perfect example of the 65% of federal agencies using outdated IT systems, vulnerable to mismanagement. America ranks a dismal 27th in global transparency rankings

[00:46:32] behind much smaller nations, from the Pentagon's $125 billion in administrative wastes, to the IRS's $1.2 billion in improper payments, and the pattern is undeniable. See, they can't lie their way out of this. Elon's technology-driven audits are precisely what these institutions fear most, sunlight on decades of dark deception being exposed.

[00:47:02] Any government institution is most likely to be the opposite of its name. Man, oh man, oh man. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, my friends. I mean, when you consider, we are $37 trillion in debt, maybe $38. In the not-too-distant future, we don't start curtailing things now, and no matter what we do, spending is going to still increase in this fiscal year.

[00:47:35] But even if we, here's the thing though, here's the good news. even if we decrease the growth of spending, while at the same time increase economic, I mean real economic growth, I don't mean stimulus package growth, but I mean true economic growth, we can outpace the growth of debt and then afford more tax cuts,

[00:48:04] which would open the door to more economic growth, displacing and replacing government waste and spending. See, when you take the administrative costs of most of these departments, see, a lot of times when they say, well, they're going to cut in the military budget or they're going to cut this, that, or the other, they always lie. They don't tell you that there's such top-heavy waste that if you

[00:48:34] lop most of that off, you still will not hurt Social Security payments to the American people. You won't hurt the actual useful part of the military budget. See, just lopping off the majority of administrative costs will do wonders. See, this stuff is not hard to figure out.

[00:49:03] There's difficulty in doing it, but it's simple at the same time because, you know, the process may be a little difficult, but they know what to do without harming any budgets. So when you hear these silly ninnies running around saying, oh, President Trump, he's a dictator, he wants to harm Americans by cutting their Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security,

[00:49:33] and other needed benefits, things of that nature, they're lying to you. there are some cases where the administrative cost is almost as big as, if not bigger, than the actual budget that is being used for the people. And that's where I say, okay, Social Security, for example, on average, the American people have been receiving 5% to 7% of all

[00:50:02] Social Security funding every single year. and how many years have they been saying, oh, Social Security is about to run out of money. No, it's not. I would say the American people should be receiving at least 30 to 40% of the money because where did that money come from? The American people, their tax dollars, didn't come from anywhere else, didn't come from the air, didn't grow on trees, it came

[00:50:32] from we the people. So if Social Security is for we the people, why should the administrative wastes, and by the way, they use some of that money for foreign matters, to kiss the backsides of our enemies. Why should the majority of the money that American people put into the system go elsewhere instead of back to them? That's what Social Security was supposed to be about. And if Americans only receive 30 to 40%,

[00:51:01] that still leaves a huge amount for so-called administrative costs. I mean, I could say 60 to 70%. Then you have your administrative staff, which doesn't have to be as large as it has in the past, by the way. There's a lot of computers and automation. You cut down, and then more of the money go back to the people. Then you wouldn't have elderly citizens around the country going, what are we going to

[00:51:31] do? Will we have cat food? Or pay our bills? What are we going to do? Well, I don't know, Martha. Well, let's pray about it. You know, forget that. We have to really do some common sense stuff here. But anyway, my friends, now that I see that my time is up, thank you so much for your time. And as I always say at

[00:52:01] this time, remember to pray for your nation. She needs it. Pray for your family, your friends, and yes, your enemies that they get it right before it's too late. And remember to always treat others the same way you would want to be treated. And don't forget, Yeshua is King. Until next time, I'm Ron Edwards. Bye now.
