[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, say 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.

[00:01:13] Well, good day, good day, good day. Hello and how are you? I'm Ron Edwards and welcome to The Ron Edwards American Experience. It's a really great day in the neighborhood. And greetings and salutations to every one of you throughout America and around the world. Yep. You know, tariffs are the big conversation, one of the big conversations still permeating throughout our republic. And should we have them? Should we not? Why? Why not? Et cetera, et cetera.

[00:01:42] That's the debate that continues to permeate throughout the republic. But history tells us that they are the right thing to do. I was getting into some of the statistical data yesterday again, but we had some technical difficulties, which kind of took us out of the way. And there was a recording that popped in in my place. But anyway, we're going to get into some of those statistical details again, because there's still a lot of people.

[00:02:11] And if you look around, it's some of the media outlets. They are still explaining the tariffs in the wrong manner. It's not even based upon history, or they ignore history, the history of the blessings that tariffs in the past have been. Do you know that that used to be the number one way that the United States obtained funding for the government? Before in 1913,

[00:02:40] when they decided to switch to put the burden on the backs of We the People and slapping on an income tax. Income taxes are unconstitutional, by the way. They should be gotten rid of. And it was a graduated income tax. And see, they had the goal then on Jekyll Island, when they put this idea together, to gradually, through the income tax and other assorted taxes and regulation, to gradually seep away our wealth

[00:03:09] and sift the wealth up to the top 1% to 5% of the population, the elites, you know, the Bill Gates of the world, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. You know, Klaus Schwab, things that, people like that. And they wanted to continue to drain away our wealth through these legal edicts, but unconstitutional taxes, in order to gradually drain away our wealth. Because, you know,

[00:03:37] the accumulation of wealth multiplies your power. You know, two of the most important things we must own as sovereign individuals is land and wealth. We need silver and gold. Silver and gold. Very important. Very important. And if you can, on things like stocks and annuities, things of that nature, you have to have a portfolio that is quite varied. So that when the,

[00:04:07] you know, government bigwigs come after you in one way, you have a number of other ways to keep afloat. And so, like I said, we're going to be getting into that a little bit later. Coming up after the break, we've got a guest today. Her name is Alicia Kilgus. She's with Liberty Leaders Unite. And we're going to be talking about some of the things that they have been putting together and the plans they have for the near future and any events, as it were.

[00:04:37] And we will be talking with her about that. And another thing that some people are saying as a result of the terror, some people that do admit that they're good, they say, but wait a minute. We do need industry in the country, but it will take too long to reassemble enough industry in America to make an impact. And to that I say, no, that's patently wrong. Because again, if you look at history,

[00:05:05] remember when America was thumped on December 7th, 1941, a day that would live in infamy. Remember when we were smacked? And it was a very short time when America switched over her industrial might. I mean, quickly. And suddenly, Detroit became the arsenal of democracy. It should have been called the arsenal of the republic. But

[00:05:36] they created an industrial tsunami that swamped Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. America had factories operating in six months after Pearl Harbor. Within two years, the U.S. was outproducing Germany, Japan, and Italy put together. So it doesn't take that long if we have the will to do it. See, Trump is doing his part. Okay? But he cannot run the factories. He cannot build the factories. He can't do any of that.

[00:06:05] Government is supposed to create and guard the atmosphere so that corporations and companies and small businesses can be brought online and operated by we the people. And so, it's that simple, my friends. It's not easy, but it's that simple. It really is. And so, for these naysayers who, you know, they always try to find ways to bring negativity and say, oh, we can't do it. Oh,

[00:06:35] it'll take too much time. Well, time is something we do have. It's, and it's ticking away. And it, I would say that we, it would take us six to nine months to get America up and running very quickly. if we really put our, our, our shoulders to the wheel and, and just buck up and just do it. It doesn't take long, seriously. And if you look at other countries and how fast they build factories, modern factories,

[00:07:06] I mean, the world's largest auto plant in Mexico, it, it, it didn't take them very long to build that thing. General Motors decided, hey, screw America, we're going to put our stuff in Mexico. Boom. It was there in less than a year. So it doesn't take a long time. And I will continue to say that over and over and over and over again. And I would still urge President Trump to lower our, the American corporate tax rate. Now that would be

[00:07:35] like putting an energy, energy shot into the effort to rebuild America. That would multiply the prosperous impact of tariffs because there would be, it would be, it would have almost an immediate impact. Releasing more capital for investment. Thus, bringing more people in, into the effort. Speeding up the process.

[00:08:04] When America puts their mind to it, no one can do it better. But it's been a while since we've been doing it, so we have to get back up to speed. And the time is to do what is to now. That's how we can win the psychological war and the political war across the, but through example. We have to put ourselves into position so that we can win this political war that is being waged against us. By the way, in my humble opinion, the Europeans waged,

[00:08:34] began waging war on us in the 1960s. It would, by the 1960s, the United States should have backed out of all those agreements that they made to build Europe after the Marshall Plan. Once they got up and running, we should have said, you're going, you got it, kids. Now keep building on it. We should not have continued to allow them to drain away our wealth to the trillions and trillions of dollars of our wealth

[00:09:04] and they got so used to it and now Trump is on the scene, hey, we're going to bring this to an end. No wonder they're upset over there. This has been going on so long it's become part of their fabric. And whose fault is it? Ours. You know, a lot of the times people, they crow about and they're upset about what happens to them. But did you know that 90% of the bad things that happen to you in your life are directly or indirectly caused

[00:09:34] by your actions? An American needs to blame herself for the stupid crap that's been happening against us because we allowed it. We allow it by voting for people like Joe Biden, Lyndon Johnson, FDR, all these socialists through the years who have done nothing but screw us. And now you have Lindsey Graham, globalist Republicans joining in the fray and so on and so on. The buck has to stop now.

[00:10:04] I'm Ron Edwards. You're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. We're coming back. Don't go away now. We're coming back. Stay out there now. We're coming back.

[00:13:18] Again, thanks so much tuning in. And boy, what a great day in America today. As America is beginning to go through the I won't call it the pain, but the struggle of rebuilding, renewing America from within. As President Trump deals with the tariff situations and as he renegotiates other situations around the world,

[00:13:47] we're really seeing history in the making right now. And we should really appreciate the president that we have. And hopefully Congress will wake up from their stupor and get out of whatever beds they're sleeping in and get to work because they could really quicken the process up dramatically if only Mikey Johnson would stop doing whatever he's doing and get into the leadership position that he's been placed into and act like a leader and get things

[00:14:17] done. Anyway, let's join our guest today. Her name is Lisha Kilgis and she's the leader of Liberty Leaders Unite, a wonderful organization, I must say so, being on the board myself. They've put together great events for people to come together and talk about the important issues of the day and there are many other great things that Liberty Leaders Unite is about and we're going to be talking with

[00:14:46] our wonderful leader, Lisha Kilgis, and she's back with us today. Hello, Lisha, and welcome. Hi, Ron, how are you today? Excellent, excellent, and it's a wonderful day today, I tell you, nice and sunny and a little chilly, but that's okay. It's early spring and I just feel good about things in our republic. What say you? Yeah, it's a beautiful sunny day, a little chilly, but things are looking good.

[00:15:16] You've been mentioning the tariffs and I will say that even though some people are apprehensive, even my husband who is in the automotive industry says that these are needed and it might be an interesting time, but this is something that the United States has to take control of tariffs and other countries have been charging tariffs for a very long

[00:15:45] time and I think that the United States needs to take theirs back. Yeah, absolutely, and I'm sure you probably have taught your little ones about this already, but if you look at the time of President McKinley and how he ushered in the Gilded Age, that wealthy time period of America, probably the wealthiest time in our history, the Gilded Age, and that happened because of tariffs,

[00:16:15] and that was before 1913 when they switched things up and put the burden on the backs of the American people through unconstitutional income taxes. Yes, it's crazy. You know, people don't realize all, I mean, they have added on tax after tax after tax after tax, and it's unconstitutional. Yeah, and it's also immoral. I mean,

[00:16:45] God says, give me 10%, and then government says, I want it all. And so yeah, they want so much. But it's part of the graduated income tax idea of making surfs out of us. But anyway, that's not going to happen, at least I don't think so in our lifetime. I think they're going to be backed up for a good period of time. Anyway, let's talk about your wonderful organization, Liberty Leaders Unite. Tell us

[00:17:14] what's going on, any events coming up? Yeah, so Liberty Leaders Unite, liberty is freedom. A leader is anybody who's willing to stand up, unite. Everything's based on division these days, and we need to unite, and we need to stand together. So we do a lot of different events. The three areas that we focus on are faith, education, and combating human trafficking. And education, we are an education-based nonprofit, so we really do try to provide education

[00:17:44] and awareness on a lot of different topics. And one of the events we just had was an awesome event where we partnered with Love Life, which is a pro-life amazing organization, and we had that with pastors and ministry leaders, and if anybody is interested in getting involved with any pro-life stuff, you can reach out on our website at libertyleadersunite.org, or you can also email me at info

[00:18:13] at libertyleadersunite.org. We also have had wonderful webinars on exposing the sexualization of minors, which is a very important topic. We were getting ready to put together some webinars in April and May on sextortion, and also about the education system and talking about school of choice, which people may or may not be in favor of, so join us

[00:18:43] on our website to find out when those are. Those are going to be scheduled. And we also have an awesome event on April 24th, which is a situational awareness and learning how to protect your home. And that is actually in person. That's in Grosse Pointe Park at the Knot, and that will also be on our website. Let's see. We have some awesome ministry, street ministry coming in the month of June, as we know that they have taken over the

[00:19:13] month of June as Pride Month, and we are trying to take it back as God's Promise Month. And so we'll be doing street ministry there. We have an amazing event on June 21st. If anybody's interested in donating, we are looking for donations because it's called Beautifully Seen, and it is for survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking. And so we're going to be providing a pampering day. We're going to be doing hair

[00:19:42] and makeup and just loving on them just like Christ would be loving on them. And so that is our Beautifully Seen event. Again, on June 21st. And last but not least, you can see us on X at LLU, X Voice, Instagram, Liberty Leaders Unite, TikTok, Liberty Leaders Unite.org, Facebook, Liberty Leaders Unite. We have a Facebook page, awesome nonprofit page.

[00:20:11] And yeah, so we have a lot of stuff going on, and if you have any questions or, you know, we're also looking for people to give us topics that they want to learn more about. So education and awareness on what topics people want to learn more about, and that will help us to put some stuff together for the future. Wow, that's wonderful. Since the Trumpster has been in office, and I know

[00:20:40] that he is, and many in his administration and his cabinet are just 100% against the human trafficking situation, have you noticed a difference in the ability to deal with that issue now as opposed to during the Uncle Joe Biden administration? Do you think the atmosphere has changed where more people are being reached or rescued or maybe there are fewer victims

[00:21:10] coming to the fruition right now? What say you? Well, you know, I think that obviously with the border being closed, it would decrease some, but I have to be honest, Ron, there's so many people that just don't believe that it's going on, and that's the issue. They hear about it, but it is literally in every church, it is in every school, it is in

[00:21:39] every neighborhood, it is across the country. Michigan is actually one of the top 10 states that human trafficking takes, you know, it's really, really unfortunate, but we really need more education and awareness about the topic. I believe that there are people that are getting involved to actually arrest these people, and we're really grateful for that,

[00:22:09] and we just need more of that. Amen. Do you think that as time goes on, oh, what, I've got to get your opinion on this. John James is running for governor for the state of Michigan. What do you think about that? I wish he would stay in Congress because we need as many representatives there as possible, and maybe someone else could run

[00:22:38] for governor of Michigan, but he or just about anyone, even my bottle cap would be a great alternative to what's going on now, but what say you about that? Yeah, we definitely need some massive change in the state of Michigan. We need a new governor. John James is a great guy. He does a great job in Congress, and I have to be honest, I don't think that he should be leaving Congress. I think that he should be staying.

[00:23:10] Yeah, that's my opinion. I'm kind of on the same lines of where you are that we really need him there, but apparently he feels led that he and his family. They said they prayed about it and they want to have him run for governor. And so I think that it's an interesting time because I don't really know,

[00:23:40] there's going to be a lot more people I think that are going to be putting their hat in the ring for governor, and I think we really have to keep it in prayer because we do need a new leader in the state of Michigan. We need leaders on both sides, and here's the thing, the thing with human trafficking is it should be a bipartisan issue, and it's really unfortunate that... Hey, Lisa, can you hold it right there because you're saying something very important. I want you to get it all in. We're going to hold until after the break.

[00:24:09] And folks, you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience, and we'll be back with Lisa Kilgis right after this. The Ron Edwards American Experience Talk Show, where our unalienable rights are celebrated.

[00:24:52] Guess what happens in a wide-open sanctuary city? Hello, I'm Ron Edwards. On today's page from the Edwards Notebook, brought to you by Root Brands, premium products for your body and soul. Go to TheRonEdwards.com for details. Faithful, sincere Muslims are invading our beloved republic by the thousands every month. Despite what they say, they are literally here to conquer, as the Islamists have already taken over much of Western Europe, including cities like Birmingham and London, England. Here in the

[00:25:21] United States, Muslims recently once again took over Times Square. They were allowed to block streets and sidewalks so that non-Muslim New York City residents could neither drive or walk to their chosen destinations. The same sick problem occurred in Queens, where the abusing Muslims were allowed by ignorant leftist New York City politicians and the police to block streets, preventing non-Muslims from enjoying a simple walk in their usually peaceful neighborhoods. When confronted, Muslims will tell

[00:25:51] you they come in peace and want to help build the American dream. Just know, they are lying as they are instructed in their Quran to pretend to be our friends until their numbers are too big to stop their takeover. Wake up, America. Ban Sharia now. If not, forget about it. I'm Ron Edwards. On the Call, On the Wall. In the heart of struggle, in the face of

[00:26:21] adversity and betrayal, a thread of hope and faith created tapestry of triumph. I'm Denise Edwards, and I'm inviting you to take a look into the window of my life.

[00:28:06] And we're back. Welcome. This is the Ron Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards, your happy host and our wonderful guest today, Leisha Kilgis. And she was telling us, she was sharing some very important information before we had to excuse ourselves for a few minutes for the break. But we are back and welcome back, Leisha. And you were making some important points. Why don't you jump right back in? Well, thanks, Ron. Yeah, no problem. So, yeah, so human trafficking

[00:28:36] is, like I said, it's in every church, it is in every school, it is in every neighborhood. And here's the thing, we need bipartisan support to put laws in place, to put bills in place that stops the sexual exploitation of minors, that stops human trafficking, that stops all of this madness. And, you know, I work with legislatures

[00:29:04] and I've tried to reach out to both sides. And so now I'm working with some organizations. And so we really need bipartisan support on this because this is not a one-side, you know, it's not a Republican, it's not a Democrat issue. It is a bipartisan issue. It affects everybody. And it affects women and children, which we need to help protect. And so it's so important that people understand

[00:29:31] that it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you are on. This is something that needs attention and it needs bills put in place ASAP. Absolutely. I agree with you. It is not a partisan issue. It is a moral issue, in my humble opinion. And I do wish that both parties would care more about this. I will tell you that one side of the two-headed monster called the Uniparty

[00:30:00] is a lot worse than the other, although neither one is great on that issue and a great number of issues in my opinion. But you keep up the good work, Leisha, and all those that are working with you and Godspeed with what you're doing. And once again, why don't you tell folks how to get a hold of you and of your organization and how they can participate in some of these things or if they just simply want to donate to your cause? Oh, wonderful. Thank you so much, Ron.

[00:30:30] Yeah, so Liberty Leaders Unite. Liberty is freedom. A leader is anybody who's willing to stand up. Unite. Everything's based on division. We need to unite and stand together. You can visit our website at www.libertyleadersunite.org. You can email me at info at libertyleadersunite.org. And if you'd like to donate, just go to our website. We are always accepting donations. And again, we have an event coming up where we're looking people to donate

[00:30:58] to have these women who have been either abused or trafficked. They're survivors. And we're looking for people to donate for that wonderful event on June 21st. So thank you so much, Ron. I love everything that you're doing and just so, so important. And we just need to become educated and aware about all these different things. Thank you. And thank you for what you're doing

[00:31:27] and what you're representing there. And you got a great family too. Tell them all I said hi and Godspeed. Thank you so much. You as well. Tell Denise I said hello. I will. Take care. Well, another great American, my friends. And yeah, that's the kind of stuff we need in our republic, people that are involved and that really care about the issues of the day and what's going on and protecting the children because the children are, that's our future. I mean,

[00:31:57] if we don't start doing what's right by our children educationally, morally, ethically and protecting them from the vermin, the human debris that wants to traffic them and harm them in so many ways, you know, God will judge us harshly. We already deserve his harsh judgment, but he's been very merciful. But, you know, even that has an expiration date if we don't hurry up and get things straightened out. So, check out our website and get involved.

[00:32:27] Well, it looks like Trump is going to be celebrating along with the U.S. Army their 250th anniversary and, boy, this is something that I'm looking forward to because they're planning a huge military parade. It's going to be at least four miles long in the nation's capital area and, you know, of course, there are those dunderheads that are against this idea. Oh, no, we can't do that because there are some people

[00:32:56] in the military, they're angry because they've been let go. Well, most of the people that are being let go now in the military are people that should be let go. The woke folks, the DEI folks, they gotta go, okay, anyway. But for the most part, the military is bringing in new people and new recruits, recruiting is up and the United States military needs to be celebrated, in my opinion. But it needs to be, of course,

[00:33:25] celebrated under the right leadership. And the leadership is a lot better now and they really want to, you know, shore things up and I think we, the American people, should celebrate. And it's gonna be happening this summer and I look forward to June 14th, the 250th anniversary of our wonderful army. Godspeed to our soldiers. It seems that

[00:33:56] inside Trump's jihadist elimination unit at the White House, Senior Director Gorka has detailed how, you know, the President of the United States has done a 180 on counterterrorism policy compared to Uncle Joe Biden's administration. Now, terrorists around the world, they're running. they're either being blown up or they're running. And that's rightfully so. Yesterday,

[00:34:26] the President met with Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, and they talked about this situation, the Houthis and others who have been wreaking havoc not only throughout the Middle East but elsewhere throughout the world and they're being properly dealt with. In fact, it's the only way they understand. Because if anyone takes the time to study, at least read in the Quran

[00:34:54] and some of the other documents of Islam, they plainly state and they brag about the fact that their philosophy does not meld with liberty. It does not. That their purpose is to undermine, destroy, take over and dominate. That is what they are about. And please, if you think this is hate speech, then you have a problem.

[00:35:23] You need to go and check your brain in at a car wash and clean it out or something because these people are wrong. They are our enemies. And thank God that we have an administration now that is cleaning these people, the MS-13s and other human debris out of this country as they find them. And kudos to the Supreme Court. It was a five to four vote, but I'll take it that they did the right thing

[00:35:53] and ruled that the president does have the right, it's in the Constitution anyway, by the way, to deal with criminals and get them out. Get them out of the country with the Venezuelan drug lords and participants, other participants. Get them out. So, in New York, an unhinged individual slashed a woman with a broken bottle

[00:36:22] in the neck in Soho. I love Soho, the beautiful district there in New York, but, you know, you got to clean these things out, these walking things out. And you have these kinds of incidents still happening throughout the republic, whether it's in Chicago, the east side of Cleveland, it doesn't matter. And to hear or to read about politicians all over this country and activists

[00:36:53] being more angry and more upset over the fact that President Trump is getting these people out of the country or locking them up, they're more upset in them being kicked out than the horrible acts that they engage in. That shows you what kind of a moral depravity situation that we have in this country. And so, it comes down to simply defeating those, whether they're domestically or internationally,

[00:37:22] who are on the other side, who are about destruction. It's that simple. There's nothing complicated about this. You know, we have to let our yes be yes, our no and understand there is a difference between right and wrong as well. And those that are on the wrong side of history, they must be defeated no matter who they are. If you have a family member that agrees with the other side, with everything that the Democrats and the rhino Republicans are pushing

[00:37:52] and have been pushing on this society, they are enemies. You pray for them, you still love them with a 10-foot pole, and, but, you know, you have to understand what you're dealing with. And it doesn't matter if it's a family member or if it's somebody in the middle of Congress. And we have to, we have to be adults about this. Americans for a long time, in my opinion, have been too childish,

[00:38:22] too chicken-hearted to understand enemies and what they're about. And President Trump understands this. He understands it. That's why he is hitting China with a 104% tariff as Xi Jinping refuses to halt retaliatory tariffs. Now, all the United States did in the beginning of this whole situation was

[00:38:51] bring forth reciprocal tariffs. So, basically, what Xi Jinping and the leaders of other nations around the world were telling President Trump, how dare you stand up for your own country? How dare you stop us from screwing over the American people? See, the entire planet has looked at the United States as the world's piggy bank. And they have looked at the American consumers

[00:39:21] as suckers, as buying suckers. Many countries around the world have been amazed at how we, the people of the United States, have allowed our government to give their nations preferential treatment over we, the people, to decimate our cities and turn them into shelled out shadows of their former glory. I mean, we have lost 11 million

[00:39:49] manufacturing jobs. That's a lot of, that's a lot of work. That's a lot of productivity that has gone from, you know, beyond our shores and beyond our borders. Last week, Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on countries that have historically imposed high tariffs on the United States, including China, which faced a 34% tariff in addition to existing tariffs on its goods. In response, China's state-run

[00:40:19] Global Times called the reciprocal tariffs a tool to blackmail China and a tool for extreme pressure and to pursue selfish interest. What? So, to care about our own nation is considered to be nothing more than selfish interest. Well, okay, yeah. Rational self-interest is common sense. Exactly. Likewise, Xi announced

[00:40:48] a 34% retaliatory tariff on the United States. Trump then announced that China will face an additional 50% tariff if the retaliatory tariffs are not withdrawn. And when it's all said and done, Trump will slap, will be slapping China upside the head with a 104% tariffs in total. And guess what? Guess who will lose in that in the long run? It won't be the United States of America because even though China

[00:41:17] is producing all that stuff, okay, their prosperity depends on the mood of the American people to continue buying from them or not. And like I said earlier, we can rebuild our manufacturing base for the most part within two years, in less than two years. We can have a lot of it going, a massive amount going in six months. We did it once

[00:41:46] during the Second World War. And after the Second World War, the United States was the manufacturing floor of the world. This is Chris McDonald, host of the Pack File. You're listening to the Ron Ted Words American experience.

[00:44:52] We celebrate our unalienable rights because they come from God and government cannot take them away or twist them about. I'm Ron Edwards you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience and you know there's an old saying that money talks and you know what walks. Well Trump administration is planning a $998 fine per day for illegal border crossers who fail to self-deport.

[00:45:21] So they know you've been here a while. Let's say you've been here for 120 days. Oh man I would love to be in charge of this and you're captured right? and what I would do is sit the illegal border crosser down in a chair and have him facing or her facing a wall with a calendar and like a school teacher I would count the days. One, two, three, four, five. I'd count if it

[00:45:51] was 90 days I'd go all the way to 90 days and then say let's do the math $998 and get one of those old calculators or to make you know for good sound effects get one of those old registers and do the math that way and then you know give them the bill and say hey you gotta pay up and you know these people need to be punished I'm sorry I know

[00:46:21] there's a lot of leftist you know and rhino like butt kissers but you know butt kissing time is over PG time is over too and you know it's time to sweep the petty gumps out of government few people are more petty than Mitch McConnell what a petty little guy no wonder he can barely walk around he reminds me of the old song freeze frame I mean he walks around he starts talking and all

[00:46:50] of a sudden like he can't talk anymore I used to feel sorry for him but not anymore vice president J.D. Vance even lit up Senator Mitch McConnell recently after the senator voted against the nomination of Eldridge Colby to serve as undersecretary of policy at the defense department describing the move as a grand display of political pettiness you know this guy and see

[00:47:21] Eldridge Colby is known as a very staunch conservative guy very pro military as far as cleaning it up you know he has an old school air about him as far as wanting to do the right thing concerning our veterans and how things are running the defense department but because he is a really good guy

[00:47:51] and this is someone that Trump and both J.D. Vance want in there so Mitch says no I don't support this I'm against it I mean and there's a lot of that that's going on you'd be surprised at how many of these kind of nitwits they don't care about the condition of the republic they don't care that even though things are improving in our republic we are still in a precarious position

[00:48:20] and they want to play this kind of petty politics the guy has made millions he and his wife Chinese wife have made millions and millions and millions of dollars at the expense of American taxpayers through these wonky deals with China helping out his father-in-law through the years a Chinese shipbuilder

[00:48:49] while American shipbuilders during that time period were being put out of business I think America only has one shipbuilder remaining one where it wasn't that long ago the United States of America was the number one shipbuilding nation in the world where did all that go because ships are still needed ships are needed more now especially in commerce than ever before why isn't the United States building these ships

[00:49:19] why tell me tell me tell me I'll tell you our traders government orchestrated trade deals that made it impossible for American shipbuilders to remain in business in this country and they had to either shut down or move their business elsewhere offshore or just shut down and South Korea

[00:49:48] China China and other nations took our place and that is one of the dumbest things you can do as far as national security we have to not only do we have to make our own stuff but we need our own ships for transport we cannot sit around and depend on Denmark and other nations oh speaking of Denmark they just screwed us a big Denmark corporation really recently

[00:50:18] put in to buy the two main gates into Panama now China doesn't have any opposition to that because Denmark is a little dweeb of a nation and they can be pushed around and I will tell you this the fact that China was able to get up the US bid to buy the Panama Canal gates if I were the president I would

[00:50:47] just push back and say you know what stop me and I would go ahead and push forward and force this agreement into existence and say you know what here's the money this is an offer you cannot refuse take it it wouldn't be any take it or leave it it would be take it because if we don't do this it will not be very pretty

[00:51:18] because the way we're getting along with China or because China likes to start a lot of crap and we could buck up against China and if they were in control of the Panama Canal they could all of a sudden say hey we're not taking any US ships no US commerce coming through the Panama and we'd have to go all the way down to the bottom of South adding five months adding five to the transport of goods from one side of the United States to the other forget that

[00:51:48] and I think something like that is going to happen I couldn't tell you for sure but one thing that has happened one thing that has happened my friends now that I see that my time is up thank you so much for your time that's all folks and as I always say at this time remember to pray for your family

[00:52:18] pray for your nation your friends and even your enemies that they get it right before it's too late and do not forget to treat others the same way you would want to be treated it's the right thing to do I'm Ron Edwards until next time bye now to change your direction to make a new connection to everyone
