The Ron Edwards American Experience: Egalitarianism Does Not a Prosperous Republic Make. - 260831

Prepare for launch in 3, 2, 1. And away we go. Say A, say M, say E, say. R, say I, say C, say A, M. 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. Good day, good day, and welcome back to the Ron Edwards American Experience. Hope you had a great weekend. I certainly did. And lots of interesting things going on throughout our republic. Let's start right in the state of Michigan. Well, it looks like Democrats, as per usual, they're at it again. They've been caught red-handed. They've laundered about at least $ 5 billion in taxpayer dollars. more than 4,000 fake phantom jobs allegedly used to siphon taxpayer dollars into non-existent programs, questionable gender surgeries, and dubious arts and cultural grants. Very interesting. Isn't it amazing how Democrats, they run around pointing their fingers out at everyone else? You know, they'll holler things like racism, sexism, is. Islamophobicism, anything like that. But yet, whose hands are most often caught red-handed in the cookie jar as far as wrongful actions are concerned? It's the Democrats. If they're not directly doing it, they're helping others like the Islamists take over places like Texas. And the beat goes on, my friends. And we have to, uh, be very, very concerned about what's going on in our republic, whether it's the Democrats, the Islamists. And all this is happening at taxpayer expense. And the Democrats are willing to use all of our money to waste upon projects, principles, ideas, movements, special interest groups, to waste away our wealth, and to help ruin this republic called the United States of America beyond repair. That is their goal. And it has been the Democrat Party's goal for a long time. Until now, they have not been able to or been willing to admit this openly. And every once in a while, you had a good Democrat who did not hate America, someone like John Kennedy, William Proxmire, former senator from Wisconsin. He was senator back in the 1960s. Would you believe it? William Proxmire, back in the 1960s, a Democrat, was concerned about government spending. He was so concerned, he used to give out an annual fleece award. He would reward it to his fellow legislators and senators. For wasting money. But you don't find many Democrats like that anymore. Nope. In fact, Democrats today don't accept you unless you are totally sold out to whatever is ruinous to our republic. They don't want you unless you're a communist, Islamist, etc. Fully locked into what the progressives and the communists call the struggle. The struggle. to overcome our republic, to destroy her from within. Because they cannot take us on straight ahead, straightway. But where we have been stupid as a republic is domestically. We've allowed those who have vowed to destroy us to come in and are well on their way to literally destroying us from within. With the permission of federal judges, the majority of Democrats, Republicans who look the other way, people like John Thune and Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins, the wimpest, Americanist, apologeticist types, the Republican types who, you know, they want to be controlled opposition, to pretend that they're standing against those who are promoting and pushing tyranny so as to keep their jobs. their so-called jobs in government. That is why it is so important, my friends, to push for and to establish term limits. No one in political office should be allowed more than two terms. None. I don't care if you're mayor, dog catcher, if you run for office, you should be only allowed two terms. And that's it. And the reason why is because then, for the most part, people will legislate to make it beneficial for when they are out of office. It will be more opportunistic to be out of office than in office. That's the way the Founding Fathers thought of things when they set up this republic. That was one of the things that was to set America apart from other nations to not make the government the center of wealth production through theft via legal edict. And so, my friends, yeah, that movement has to be restarted. If you want to save this republic, we have to take it to Congress, to the Senate, to the governorships across the country, etc., etc., etc. Term limits, two terms and out. And as I've stated many times on this broadcast in the past, if you do not govern according to constitutional mandates, then you should be immediately tapped on the left shoulder and excused from your position and your seat be put up for special election. We've got to set standards in this country. We have to be very firm for what is right and against what is wrong. Peachy time is over. We're not in a position where we can just kick the can down the road like Congress is doing. They're coming back in session not to fix any problems. but to just pass a continuing resolution to keep the government running financially until, I guess, mid-December. And we the people just continue to put up with it and allow these clowns to get away with this stuff. In the meantime, they continue to overspend, spending us into oblivion. America has spent, I'm talking about via the government, has spent $ 2 trillion this year alone already. Not even a whole year. That's crazy work. They know it's wrong. They know it is wrong. And they know what they're doing. So we the people have to understand what they're doing and circumvent it. Remember, it is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Not the other way around. And we have to grow up as a people and let these people know that we elect them. They don't elect us. They're to serve us. We are not to be their serfs. You know, that is an insult that in one state alone, five billion dollars, Democrats, Michigan, Using it for fake phantom jobs that don't even exist. Siphoning taxpayer dollars into non-existing programs. I don't know which is more of an insult to common sense. Using this for fake jobs and programs or the Federal Reserve System printing money and the more and more it prints... Our dollar becomes weaker and weaker and weaker because there's too many dollars out there. which are backed by nothing. It's called fiat money. So we're being screwed at both ends. Fiat money from the beginning and phantom spending on the other. And in between it's we the people getting screwed financially worse than any other people in the history of the planet. That's a heap of financial hurt. We'll be back on the Ron Edwards American Experience.

Ron Edwards, American Experience, and thanks for tuning in and being with us this day. You know, the United States launched a surprise attack on the Iranian regime, and according to Iranian expert Tutsi, this was a preeminent attack on the regime after the United States had received information that the Iranians were just about to launch a strike into Jordan. Now, one Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps official ended his speech suddenly after a heart attack. You know, I guess it took him to his 72 virgins. Now, senior IRGC member and candidate, Natanat Hani, suffered a heart attack fatally right in the middle of his campaign speech. I've seen the video and... I won't say it's comical, but it does look kind of funny. The man's screaming and hollering and going on, and all of a sudden, ba-doom. You don't laugh at a man's death or anything like that, but like I said, it did look kind of funny. You know, you're talking, and all of a sudden you just drop. But yeah, so not good news for him. And the United States has announced that, well, President Trump has announced that they're going to be blowing Karg Island, which is a huge oil mainstay for Iran, that they're going to be blowing that and their facilities to smithereens. And we're going to see if that comes to pass because I know in the past that, you know, that was a bit of concern. They were saying, no, we can't do that because we don't want to hurt the Iranian people. But one has to understand, first of all, for almost 50 years, Iran has been basically dragging the West around by the nose, going back and forth when it comes to negotiations, you know, being a normal Islamic regime, very abusive to the women, And in many cases, especially little boys, etc., etc., etc. Real nasty situation all the way around. And picking fights with the United States, Israel, and other nations, even there in the Middle East. And so there comes a time when you say time out. And the United States correctly said time out. But I kind of think that, unfortunately, they did things out of order. What they should have done was, number one, cleaned the illegals out of this country first, got them out, then put the economic clamps on Iran the way they're doing now. Then if that didn't work, then blow the whole country to smithereens. So they're doing the right things, but I think they've done it in the wrong order. But hopefully, because it is still damaging Iran, almost to the point of, man, where they cannot recover, almost, especially if other nations stay out of it. And that's my concern. If the United States can convince other trading partners to permanently leave Iran alone until this situation is completely resolved to the satisfaction of of the United States of America. Not the satisfaction of the United Nations, not the satisfaction of the European Union, not the satisfaction of the BRICS nations, but to the satisfaction of the United States of America. Because for too many decades, the United States of America has basically kissed the backside of Iranian officials. Whether it was Ali Obama giving them scads of money, so much they had to fly it out on a large aircraft, whether it's brokering deals with the Iranian regime over the years and allowing them to make all the money they can and allowing them, in many cases, watching them support terrorist groups around the world. Okay? So, yeah, it's time. And I am thankful that we have a president that had the cojones to go ahead and do something, but I just wish that they had done it in a different order. But now that we're here, let's... support our president in prayer and that he does things going forward wisely and with strength so that this thing can end and that he can turn his attention in a more focused way domestically. Because we are coming up on the midterms. Before you know it, it will be the first week of November. It will be election time again. And depending on what happens, I believe within the next 30 days will dictate how well the Republicans will do in the upcoming elections. Now, there are many people, well, every Democrat you can find, and believe it or not, there are some sick Republicans who hope that the president does fail. Because there are many Republicans, or some Republicans, who would rather have a, I don't know, a Bush-type Republican Party where, yeah, you're better than Democrats, but then you're still not good enough to totally get the mess out of our country and clean things up and shake up the establishment. And so Yeah, we are at a true crossroads right now. We can't afford things as they were, and we can't afford to lose in the battles that have been started, whether it's with Iran, whether it's getting the illegals out of this country, whether it's completing the wall on our southern border. whether it's finishing business with Canada. And it wouldn't hurt the United States of America if we would totally cut Canada off and just leave them alone. It would not hurt us. The only thing that we would need to do is to protect ourselves from China, which already is deeply entrenched in Canada. In fact, I'll just say it outright. Canada is China's which, but you replace the W with a B. And that's one of the reasons why Carney has been acting the way he has been since he first stepped into office as the Prime Minister of Canada. Of course, he comes from the European Union, which is also an enemy of the United States, if you want to get right down to it. Sure, they pretend to be our friends when a strong president is in their midst, but that is not the case. They don't agree with our Constitution philosophically. They don't agree with our Christian leanings. Many of the European nations think that they should be overrun by the Muslims. That their women should be allowed to be raped. They believe that you shouldn't stand up to the brown-skinned rapists because they don't want to be called racist. Talk about retardation. You don't want to stand up against evil, a wrong action, which has nothing to technically do with a race, but rather the heart of the person. And if you happen to be whatever you are, that's it. But the important matter is cleaning up criminal activity. But they're so twisted in their philosophical base that, hey, they'd rather have their women raped than to be accused of being racist for getting rid of criminal activity. That is crazy work. And because President Trump opposes that kind of stuff, that is one of the main reasons why the European Union hates us. I'm sorry, that's just beyond crazy. And so we have to continue to be ever vigilant. And this is one of the reasons why the founding fathers said, hey, don't get twisted up with those folks, don't get entangled.

Breaking news at Town Hall. I'm Bob Agnew in Washington. President Trump's border czar says federal agents are continuing to remove people in the country illegally. Tom Holman extremely engaged in removing illegal aliens who walked right into our country during the Biden-Harris administration. Holman telling CNN's State of the Union program that members of the agency will go where we need to go to arrest and deport illegals. Holman saying President Trump is the president of the U.S. because he promised to enforce immigration law. And that's exactly what we're doing. We're sending a message to the world. The borders are no longer open. You can't come here for a free pass and expect to stay forever. Laura Winters reporting. All eyes are on Michigan looking ahead to the midterm elections. Analyst Matthew Continetti says increased scrutiny of... Left-wing streamer Hassan Piker will expose his alleged hypocrisy to the American public and voters. He is close to the Democrat nominee there, Abdu'l-Assad. Piker is very wealthy. He's perhaps the only person I know to wear a Cartier and bring Louis Vuitton while extolling the virtues of Cuba's communist dictatorship. And I think more scrutiny is applied to him. And Continental spoke with the Salem Radio Network. New federal aid could soon be available to students looking to get in training for new careers. Colleges around the country are seeking approval for a new federal grant program called Workforce Pell. This would help students pay for short-term job training for careers as truck drivers, electrical line workers, welders, and more. Pell Grants have for decades helped low- and moderate-income students attend college. Workforce Pell would extend that aid to some programs as short as eight weeks. The federal government began accepting applications in July and has already approved several, including a medical assistant program in Indiana. Experts say the full rollout of Workforce Pell grants could take years. I'm Marcela Sanchez. And you'll find more of these stories at townhall.com. Hi, I'm Kirk Cameron.

Hutchinson announced it is seeking $ 1. 5 billion in damages through international arbitration proceedings against Panama over the loss of two key canal contracts. The Chinese are all bent out of shape over the United States' Trump administration rightfully putting its foot down against China's massive intrusion into the Western Hemisphere economic. Meanwhile, enemies within the United States are engaging in a classic communist Maoist-style effort to bring about an end to our exceptional nation way of life. At the same time, Muslims are constructing mosques and spreading Sharia law faster than the United States military is building needed warships despite massive military spending. Roaming bands of two-legged hyenas are free to roam state fairs, rodeos, nice neighborhoods, and hunt civilized Americans just to beat them up for sport. The Los Angeles City Council has voted to allow homeless illegals to shuffle into Hollywood and 11 other Los Angeles neighborhoods in a leftist effort to make law-abiding, working Americans uncomfortable. Meanwhile, congressional uniparty imps continue to spend our tax dollars with a $ 40 trillion deficit. Will the U.S. soon crumble under self-destruction or honestly stop the madness and make America great again? I'm Ron Edwards.

Yep, this is the Ron Edwards American Experience. You know, Chinese Communist Party officials confirmed today that they had subjected 10 people to administration penalties. Um, And the reason why is over the past week for allegedly spreading online rumors and misinformation. Yeah, right. They say that they've been spreading misinformation about the ongoing mudslide and flooding disaster in Tibet. Now, the revelation followed widespread reports that the Chinese government had censored some of the most horrifying videos of mudslides destroying entire communities. roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure. And in fact, rumors also have it that the Chinese government understood that before this disaster happened, that it was going to happen, and they did not warn the Tibetan people about the oncoming onslaught of water, mud, and debris. Very interesting. Well, I'm not surprised. You know, most communist nations are like that. If you tell the truth, they don't like it. They will come after you and treat you as if you were telling a lie. Well, I've always thought that despite the nice smiley faces and all of that, and President Trump believing that the leader of India was our friend, I never thought he was, because if you study the Indian culture and understand their ways, they can no longer be our friend any more than China or other nations. Xi Jinping, Putin, and Indian leader Modi have been showing support for Iran in meetings with the president of Iran. And so, it's very interesting. And I brought up India in particular. We all know about China and Russia and all of that. But, you know, Trump, I believe, has been kind of fooled by India because Modi is Called him friend... Friend... And Trump... Actually believed it. And... But you know... India has... Is no friend of ours. Which leads to... A question that I have... And which will be followed by a statement... Why in the hell do we... Continue to allow... Indian... Waves... And waves of Indian students... To come over here... And to take jobs... that should be going to Americans. Why? And if you ask the typical Indian person about our society, they'll have, I don't know, almost a bookload of complaints about America. All the problems they have with our country. So many people complain about America and many times the people that are complaining about our country who come from Nations like India. You know, their nations were so great. Why is it that half their population wants to come over here just to have a job? The Indians say that they're much smarter than we are, etc., etc., etc. Well, if they are, someone please tell me. Why don't they do a better job of self-cleaning themselves, cleaning up their nation, and producing the work that they need in their own country? It's a big country. They have great mineral wealth, lots of natural resources. But yet, most of their young wants to come over here and get jobs. And of course, we have these traitorous officials here in our country that will bend over backwards to use our tax dollars to help these people out to screw over American students and others who foolishly vote for these officials that are helping to bring over the tons of Indians who come over here to take jobs from Americans. This is crazy work. Yet, this is yet another reason why the Founding Fathers said, look, leave those other nations alone. trade with them and that's it. Don't become entangled with them. Keep high moral character in your own nation and you will always be blessed. You will always be able to take care of yourselves. You will be at the top nation. Entangling with other nations does not in the long run a great nation make. It only declines us. That's all it does. We should be smart. We should learn about other nations so we can know how to deal with them, trade with them, and when it's not to our advantage, don't even trade with them. As far as it's possible, keep peace with them. Don't start anything. And we'd be much better off. The United States was much better off in the 1950s as an economic power in the world of that time. We were not nearly as entangled with all these other nations around the world like we are now. And guess what? Our economy was bigger than the entire rest of the planet combined. But yet we get this stupid, retarded guilt complex. Oh, we've got to Build up Europe with the Marshall Plan. We didn't owe Europe anything. In fact, they owed us. We saved their backsides in World War II. That should have been enough. But no. And then after that, we said, okay, you all have NATO. Let's have NATO. We'll foot most of the bill like a big dummy. Did that make them respect us? No, it didn't. Over the years, disrespect grew to replace respect. But you know who they do respect? A nation that has never given them anything. They respect China. Because China is not entangled with them in the retarded way the United States is. If China does come over there and get entangled, it's all for China's betterment. They don't take the kinds of deals... that the United States does. China doesn't take up deals that rips China off. Nope. So the founding fathers knew that probably down the road Americans wouldn't be that smart. Just don't get entangled. Leave it alone. So here we are, my friends. Ripped off to the tune of billions and trillions of dollars. If we were to get rid of this rip-off scenario, we could pay off our debt. Then we're ripping ourselves off to the tunes of many billions of dollars by giving so much aid to illegal border crossers. Do you know if we were to cut off all the money to illegal border crossers, put it into the Social Security system, that would fix that problem just like that. That will replace all the money that the government has been ripping off from the social security system for forever. All these huge problems financially that are besetting our republic are very fixable. It doesn't take a rocket scientist. This is high school level talking here. This is very pablum level talking. solutions, but, you know, sometimes those are the best solutions. What simple and direct BAMO gets her done. That's all we have to do. But do we have the will to do it? Well, up to this very second, no. Like I said a few minutes ago, Congress is coming back together in Washington, D.C., not to fix any problems, not to pass the Save America Act or anything like that. Nope. Only to kick the can, the economic can, down the road and pass another you know, bill to keep the government running until Christmas time. Then we'll be back here again. In the meantime, they will maintain this record high wasteful spending. Now what Congress should do is immediately cut off all aid to the illegals. They should join President Trump in that effort. And the Trump administration. Trump administration is doing the best it can. But it needs help. Trump administration is, you know, getting ready to withdraw the licenses of driving schools all over the country that have been giving truck drivers licenses to illegals who cannot even speak our language or read our English signs. and have been running over and killing Americans left and right all over the country?

The Ron Edwards American Experience, a charter member of the emerging new mainstream media. Is not the biggest, but your voices and actions are, so don't give up. The Ron Edwards American Experience talk show, where our unalienable rights are celebrated. Welcome back, family. I'm Ron Edwards. This is a Rondoverage American Experience. Well, Republican Representative Maria Salazar, well, she performed a rapid reversal this past weekend after she initially criticized President Donald Trump's massive new oil agreement with Venezuela, which gives us access to over 65 billion gallons of proven Venezuelan assets and could dramatically decrease our oil shortage in our reserves. Now, she initially said, oh, this is a bad deal, blah, blah, blah. She went on X and just reamed this thing. Then about an hour later, she came back and said, you know what? This is actually a pretty good deal. And the only complaint that she still had was that the current leadership of Venezuela was cannot be trusted because the lady who is the vice president was in the Maduro regime. However, they did ink the deal, and it does look very, very good for the United States of America. And I think the Trump administration had no choice but to go ahead and at least venture into this because it does block China from jumping in on that wonderful asset. And they did sign the deal. It's supposed to be good for at least 25 years. Now, she did say that it should be good for 100, yeah. But for now, we'll take 25 years. And if it's going good in another two years or whatever, we can go back and try to extend it. For years, China had taken advantage of Venezuela's weakness to buy its oil at very deep discounts. Now the United States of America is stepping in and American investment and influence offer Venezuela a path toward prosperity. And that's what happens with the United States. Usually when the United States gets involved with these other countries, they become very blessed. It's kind of what we do. And I think, I think personally it's a good deal. Now Venezuela, meanwhile, said that American companies... would receive access to 17 oil fields, generating up to $ 100 billion in investment and more than $ 209 billion in tax revenues for our republic. And, boy, Congress will sure go crazy with that, won't they? Rodriguez has served as Venezuela's interim leader since January following the capture and extradition of Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Flores by U.S. Special Forces. Now, Salazar did not explain why she suddenly deleted her complaint and posted compliments about the deal. But she's complimenting it now, and that's a good thing. In other news, let's see here. I suspect this is because of the jab, but St. Louis Blues prospect has collapsed suddenly during a workout. He suffered a cardiac arrest and is still in a coma. Man, Arizona State University hockey player Matthew Mayock collapsed suddenly during a military-style workout and remains in critical condition. Man, the workout consisted of sprints, planks, push-ups, and bear crawls. and not good. Every time I see one of these kinds of situations, immediately my thought goes to a particular individual who I think should be swinging from the gallows. His name is Dr. Fauci. And I do pray that very soon Fauci and many others for their dastardly deeds and crimes, etc., will Everything's been exposed or a lot has been exposed. There needs to be a deposing of these people. um right now um once again you know there's there's a situation here where it was a liberal or leftist and a conservative they got into a conversation and um Conservative guess... Basically, he really wiped the floor with this particular Democrat congressman with a brutal point that the leftist tries to lecture him about the American Dream. Now, when you think about the American Dream, the American Dream is based upon a set of great principles. Meaning, first of all, we have our inalienable right. to work, to earn, to build, and to follow the path that we believe God has set us upon. And that, you know, that's kind of the foundation of the American dream. And when you have a free market concept where you can rise or fall based upon things you do right and mistakes you might make. And that's the way it should be. But this particular individual, this leftist individual was complaining because there were no guarantees for everyone. Now, you know, forgive me if I'm wrong, which I'm not, but when should be we be guaranteed anything other than our rights? Why should it be guaranteed that everyone live the same, have the same amount of money, have the same cars, have the same size house? This is basically what this leftist activist was saying. That because there are poor people and there are rich people that those who are wealthy or even into the middle class are evil because they have more than the people that are poor. And there's a variety of reasons why there are poor people. Amongst them are misfortune, mistakes made, lack of effort. So there's a variety of reasons even within the concept of failure. But in a free market economy, which America is supposed to be built upon, even in failure, because of the setup, you learn from those, are strengthened by them, you get back up, start all over again, or continue, and you're on your way. I mean, what if we had, this leftist is saying that everything should be equal, no one should have to struggle, What if Thomas Jefferson had not struggled all those thousands of times just to create the light bulb? What if Louis Latimer, the young black gentleman who perfected Thomas Jefferson's light bulb, the filament, so that it would last more than just 20 minutes, Thomas Jefferson couldn't figure it out. But what if Louis Latimer, all the hundreds of times he tried to figure out the filament, what if he had just failed? So, this is the thing. Thomas Edison, who figured out the light bulb, Lewis Latimer, who figured out the filament, had we been in the kind of society that this leftist is advocating, there would not have been the incentive for the production of the light bulb. Same thing for the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell. Or any of the marvels that were brought forth in the 20th century. So, you know, this kind of economic setup is a blessing. And we should build upon that blessing rather than trying to destroy it. I'm Ron Edwards, and now that I see that my time is up, I do thank you so much for your time.
