They're freaking out about us AID, but it's 14 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: not only us AI D remember. I want you to, 15 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: I want you to really really remember this. That is 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: just the tip. That's just one of the first organizations 17 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: that has been shut down by the Trump administration. They 18 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: are going after the roots of everything, and that's why 19 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: they're all freaking out. It's not just us EIGHT, it's 20 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: the CIA. 21 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: The Wall Street journals reporting the CIA has reportedly just 22 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: offered a buyout to its entire workforce, everyone in the agencies, 23 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: telling employees late today they can quit their jobs and 24 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: receive about eight months of pay and benefits. 25 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: CIA what FBI too, Rachel Maddow was crying, what about 26 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: the f Beyond. 27 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: Beyond that, they appear to be targeting all the FBI 28 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: agents who are involved in any of the cases brought 29 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 3: against January sixth rioters. If they are going to try 30 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: to purge every FBI agent who took any part in 31 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 3: any one of these well over one thousand cases, that's that's. 32 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: Listen to how offended they are, and you know why 33 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: they're offended. I touched on this a little bit the 34 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: first hour. You know why they're offended. They're afraid. Of 35 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: course they're afraid. They're angry. Their power base is eroding, 36 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: because their power base has always been holding on to 37 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: positions in government power. But they're also just flat out 38 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: offended in the same way you would be offended if 39 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: if your job, if one of your jobs at the 40 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: office was to staple the papers before every big meeting, 41 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: you staple the papers. Not glorious, not glamorous, But for 42 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 1: thirty years you've worked in the same office, and that's 43 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: been your job stable the paper. You're the only one 44 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: who does it. No one else even has a stapler. Hey, 45 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: stay with the papers, and that's your job. You've simply 46 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: gotten used to that being your job. You're used to 47 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: being the only one in the office who does that job. 48 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: That's part of your critical role. And then you wake 49 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: up one day and it's time for a meeting and 50 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: the boss introduces you to the new employee. Nobody likes. Hey, 51 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: let me introduce you out of Corey. What what's Corey's job? 52 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: We brought Corey in. He's gonna do a bunch of stuff. 53 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: But one of the things he's gonna do, he's gonna 54 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: staple papers before the meeting. How hurt would you be offended? 55 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: That's what democrats across the United States of America are 56 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: currently experiencing as they watch Republicans finally, for the first 57 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: time in my life, figure out power where it actually lies, 58 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: and how to take it back. What you're hearing from 59 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: them about usaid, is the exact tone of It's the 60 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: exact way they were freaking out when you, the individual 61 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: citizen started showing up at school board meetings. We weren't 62 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: even yelling yet. Who just showed up at school board meetings, 63 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: or I should say, we weren't even running for office 64 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: yet we were yelling all of a sudden, wait, Republicans 65 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: are showing up, normal parents are showing up the school 66 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: board meetings. This is how many pieces of audio did 67 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: I play for you? Of not some activists like me, 68 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: a normal parent showing up in a school board meeting, 69 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: some dad saying, dude, look at this. This is porn 70 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: in the library. You're showing my daughter porn in kindergarten. 71 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: Why is this here? And how many bits of audio 72 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: have I played for you about city council members threatening 73 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: in with the rest shutting down the school board meeting, 74 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: but we're done for the day. We can't do that. 75 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: How many times did I play for you? How offended 76 00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 1: some card caring communist was. They're offended for a variety reasons, 77 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: but one of the main reasons they're offended is we've 78 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: woken up. We're not supposed to care about these positions 79 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: of power. We're not supposed to figure out that that's 80 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: how they fund everything. We're not supposed to figure out 81 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: that's how they control everything. It's only them. It's only 82 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: them who's supposed to understand power and how to seize 83 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: it and how to wield it. And it's only them, 84 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: and the fact that we are waking up to that 85 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: has these people freaking mortified. That's why you can go 86 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: after a government agency that ninety nine percent of Americans 87 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: didn't know existed a week ago, and you'll have Democrat 88 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: senator after Democrat house members talking about being at war. 89 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 4: Will not take this, We will fight back. And as 90 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: that calls out, because I've never been out here for 91 00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 4: a long time, and God shut down the sar. 92 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: At war over Usaight, why would you be at war? 93 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: Because you can send out executive orders to shut down 94 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: the DEI Department of the Pentagon all day long. The 95 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: communist understands that that's a temporary set back, but he'll 96 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: just start up that same department when he goes back in. 97 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: But if you actually shut down and expose to the 98 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: American people the levels of government corruption put into place 99 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: by Democrats over decades, well, what you're actually doing there 100 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: is threatening what genuinely matters. And that's why they're yelping 101 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: when they were awfully quiet before. Without force, without government 102 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: funded force, taxpayer funded force, without force, the communist can 103 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: never gain power anywhere, and he knows it, and that's 104 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: why he seeks out power so aggressively. He must grab it, 105 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: and he must use it, because without it, the revolution 106 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: simply dies on the vine. Jesse the Oracle Kelly. By 107 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: the way, you can email the show Jesse at Jesse 108 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: kellyshow dot com. Jesse the Oracle Kelly. You've been talking 109 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: about looting the treasury for as long as I can remember. 110 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: With this new administration, we're seeing the first glimpses into 111 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: the depths of corruption that has begun going on for decades. 112 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: It's far far worse than we maybe not you ever 113 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: imagined the global schemes to gut the country financially and 114 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: enrich the elites. Now, look, it's worse than I've ever 115 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: imagined either. I joke about being an oracle. I'm not 116 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: all knowing. I know it's bad. I've maybe been ahead 117 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: of some of the politicians and knowing how bad it is. 118 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: But how deep does this go? Well, Okay, there's an 119 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: article out here it's worth talking about. It's from town Hall, 120 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: which I love. But town Hall they have a headline 121 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: here that says the impressive number of federal workers who 122 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: have taken Trump's buyout option. Hey, Chris, I know a 123 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: rough number. Get me an exact number. If you don't 124 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: mind the number of federal employees. Please just get me 125 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: that real quickly. So the headline is the impressive number 126 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: of federal workers who've taken Trump's buyout and you know 127 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: what that number is? Twenty thousand, about one percent of 128 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: the federal workforce. Twenty thousand. 129 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 5: Okay. 130 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: Apparently that Trump White House has a target of five 131 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: to ten percent. So we've gotten rid of one percent 132 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: of the federal workforce. The goal is a removal of 133 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: five to ten percent of the federal workforce. Okay, so 134 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: let's just think about these numbers. We'll call it. We'll 135 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: call it two million employees. It's close to the three. 136 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: Last tight thought I would have guessed three. Chris says, 137 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: it's two point seven. Three point four. No, we'll call 138 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: it three. We'll call it three. That's number right there 139 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: in the middle. We found that sweet spot. So walk 140 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: with me here. Three million federal employees. We are I'm 141 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: under selling this, under selling it. We'll say ninety percent 142 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: of those are Democrats. Okay, so that's two point seven 143 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: million workers who are Democrats. Let's be extra extra generous 144 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: and say half of those federal Democrats. Yeah, they vote Democrat, 145 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: but they're not full blown communists. And that's being very 146 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: very generous. But let's say we have one point three 147 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: million communist activists withinside the federal government. From inside the 148 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: federal government, we've gotten twenty thousand of them to quit. 149 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: Good for Trump for that they want sounds like they 150 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: want another one hundred thousand more. Okay, that's good, But 151 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: I admit I had to drop out algebra from community 152 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: college a few times. But that leaves over a million 153 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: communist activists still in positions of power in the federal government. 154 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: That was me being generous. Remember those are generous numbers. 155 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: I just walked you through the math. My point is 156 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: not to be a Debbie downer. My point is they've 157 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: been doing this for so so long. The roots are 158 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: so so deep. We are just starting you think this 159 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: is bad. We're starting to glimpse just the tip. This 160 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: is just the tip. There is so much more to 161 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: come after this. Trust me on that. Have you given 162 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: to tunnel to towers yet? I should say, have you 163 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: signed up to give to tunnel to towers yet? Tunnel 164 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: to Towers is that wonderful organization that rose from the 165 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: ashes of nine to eleven, having suffered the loss they suffered, 166 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: and decided they wanted to do something for all those 167 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: wonderful fallen first responder families, all those gold star families.

Also Jasmine Crockett the Democrat Party, Well they're 182 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: in deep, deep trouble, and yes, I remembered Chris Captain Conrad. Yeah, 183 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: I did. I kind of remember John Conrad's coming up 184 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: in ten minutes to talk about shipping and all kinds 185 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: of stuff. I remember before Jewish producer Chris did. He 186 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: didn't remind me anyway. Democrats have a problem, you see, 187 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: they have a couple different problems. The first massive problem 188 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: they have right now is the Trump administration. Trump two 189 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: point zero, after getting shot and arrested, had figured out 190 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: exactly how evil communists are, and they decided they're going 191 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: to go after the roots of communism, not just the 192 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: surface stuff like normal. They're going to go after the 193 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: government funded network of communism that has existed in this 194 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: country for a very long time. And this comes before 195 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: they go after the Apartment of Education. Donald Trump promised 196 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: many times on the campaign trail, and not just in 197 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: the Republican primary, in the general election. Donald Trump promised 198 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: to destroy the Department of Education. I am hearing word 199 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: now that's coming quickly. Can you imagine what Democrats are 200 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: going to do, because that's the source of really all 201 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: their power. What are they going to do if they 202 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: lose government funding for communist activism and if they lose 203 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: the ability to turn aiden Jaden and Braden against you. Now, 204 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: destroying the Department of Education is not enough to do that, 205 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: But what do they do? And when you combine that 206 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: with the Jasmine Crocketts of the world, meaning Jasmine Crockett 207 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: is one of these people, one of these squad types. 208 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: And the important thing to know about her is she's 209 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: from a district that's all Democrats, So she's in the 210 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: safest Democrat seat in the world, and she can run 211 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: her fat mouth as loud as humanly possible and say 212 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: the most despicable things humanly possible, and she's always going 213 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: to get re elected. The problem for the Democrat Party 214 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: is they're being assaulted. They're funding is being assaulted, as 215 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: Trump and Elon go after the government funding, but they're 216 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: being assaulted by another entity to it's from the inside. 217 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: They're being assaulted from the ones on the inside who 218 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: they're blocking. Any Democrat move to the middle or to 219 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: normal sea I don't think Democrats are going to move 220 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: to the middle necessarily, But in order to tone down 221 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: how they talk and try to sound more normal, try 222 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: to sound remotely palatable to an American, a normal American, 223 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: they have to change some things. You have to change 224 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: how you talk about things. You have to change how 225 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: you speak demograph Honestly, the Democrats have become so enamored 226 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: with DEI diversity, equity and inclusion that now white men 227 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: especially and some white women too, but white men, they 228 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: feel like the Democrat Party hates them. That's not just 229 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: me talking. Go look at the poll numbers. Go look 230 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: at not only the poll numbers, go look at the trends. 231 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: If you are a white man, not just an activist 232 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: like me, if you are a normy, a white man 233 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: in this country, really men in general, but white men especially, 234 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: the poll number tracks this way. White men hate Democrats 235 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: because they think Democrats hate them. Well, if you're a Democrat, 236 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: will set aside the morality of that and how you 237 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: should want everybody to get involved them, set aside. All 238 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: let's just talk politically about taking power nationally. If you're 239 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: a Democrat, you don't get there without white men. You don't. 240 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: It's not possible. And Democrats in part acknowledge this when 241 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: they went and grab Tim Walls from Minnesota. As dumb 242 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: and useless and weird as Tim Walls was. The Harris campaign. 243 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: Remember we had the internals, we said, we even played 244 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: for you. The pollster who said we're losing men. We're 245 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: losing men quickly, especially white men, were losing them. So 246 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: they went and grab Tim Wallas to try to mitigate 247 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: the white men losses. They know they are not going 248 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: to be able to win national elections if white men 249 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: think Democrats hate them. And that brings us to Jasmine Crockett. 250 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: And let me clarify. The Democrats, the older ones, the 251 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's, the Chuck Schumers, they know what I just 252 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: said is true. Internally, they're talking about it. We gotta 253 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: find a way to get white men back. We got 254 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: to stop demonizing white men. We got to stop doing this. 255 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: But Jazmine, you see, she's in a really safe seat. 256 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: So while the national Democrats are trying to figure out 257 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: how to keep the DEI but let white men know 258 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: we don't hate them. Well, misgluedon eyelashes has a different idea. 259 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 6: It is really really a sad day. 260 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: That was the complete wrong one. Hate myself here it 261 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: is I. 262 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 6: Am tired of the white tears. 263 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 7: Listen, if you are competent, you are not concerned when 264 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 7: I walk into Congress every single day. You know why 265 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 7: I don't feel away and why you can't make me 266 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 7: doubt who I am is because I know that I 267 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 7: had to work ten times as hard as they did 268 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 7: just to get into the seat. When you look and 269 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 7: you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Green or me to 270 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 7: Lauren Bobert, there is no comparison. 271 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 6: And that is the life that we have always lived. 272 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 7: So the only people that are crying are the mediocre 273 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,239 Speaker 7: white boys that have been beaten out by people that 274 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 7: historically have had to work so much. 275 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: You could roll your eyesa get bad and throw things 276 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: at the radio, that's fine, But you know what that is. 277 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: That's electoral suicide. That's what that is. If they don't 278 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: find a way to shut that woman up, they will 279 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: find a way to primary her for a Democrat party 280 00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: dying to win back Michigan, Pennsylvania, in Wisconsin. This is suicide. 281 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 6: I am tired of the white tears. Listen. If you are. 282 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: Competent, Chris, go ahead and write this one down. You 283 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: will see in multiple political ads next election cycle, probably 284 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: in the midterms, you will see some version of this 285 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: interview with Jasmine. 286 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 6: I am tired of the white tears. Listen if you are. 287 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: She's writing Republican ads for them The last thing I'll 288 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: say about Jasmine Crockett is I hate seeing her and 289 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: Lauren Bobert fight. I would like it if those two 290 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: would just hug it out, maybe on television. That's all 291 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. Also, you should save a baby's life tonight. 292 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: As long as we're on this subject, abortion usually comes up. 293 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: Abortion's disgusting. It hasn't slowed down. And the bad news 294 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: is we're two years after Roe versus Wade was overturned. 295 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: It's picked up because now you can use the pill. 296 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: Now you just kill the baby in your house. How 297 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: do we fight back against that kind of easily accessible evil. 298 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: You could just murder your baby in your home, from 299 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: the comfort of your couch. How do you do that? 300 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: That's what Preborn does.

You turn on the news and this professor 319 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: is saying the same thing as CNN, who's saying the 320 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: same thing as MSNBC is, who's saying the same thing 321 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: as Chuck Schumer.

What they do 328 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 5: is you used to have independent journalists, and I'm a 329 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 5: ship reporter. I report about ships. So this is how 330 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 5: I got that site. I run gcaptain dot com, a 331 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 5: maritime news site. Aware the destruction of independent journalists. The 332 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 5: New York Times used to have a dock reporter, and 333 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 5: that doc reporter had a huge rolodex contact lists of 334 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 5: experts in the field that let him get these deep sources. 335 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 5: But starting you know, in the two thousands, with budget 336 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 5: cuts and Craigslist and then Obama really nailed this, they 337 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 5: got rid of those specialists. So there's no longer like 338 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 5: a treasury journalist or a maritime journalist, and they got 339 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 5: these generalists. So what they have is these bureau chiefs 340 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 5: around the country who are looking at local news and 341 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 5: when they see something that might hurt the narrative or 342 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 5: explode around the country, they send it to the editor 343 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 5: of the New York Times, who has an editorial meeting 344 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 5: with the top editors, and they decide on the narrative, 345 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 5: how are they going to spin this story to make 346 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 5: it usually best for the Democrats. And what they do 347 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 5: then is because these generalists, you know, these reporters who 348 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 5: went to Columbia journalism school, but they don't have deep 349 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 5: connections that the specialists had. They kind of pre form 350 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 5: who the sources are. So they give the journalists. They 351 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 5: don't outright say we want you to tilt this left 352 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 5: or lie about it. They give them a pre determined 353 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 5: list of sources. You know, someone like Bill McCrystal is 354 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 5: a good example. Talk to this guy about it, and 355 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 5: they can kind of a fleevor how the bent will be. 356 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 5: So if they want to be hard on China, they'll 357 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 5: take someone on a PhD from approved think tank that's 358 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 5: a little hard on China. If they want to go easy, 359 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 5: they'll pick a source that is easy on China. And 360 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 5: then so the journalist has, you know, they er the 361 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,959 Speaker 5: story that they stole from the local news or wherever 362 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 5: it was, and then they have, you know, this guidance 363 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 5: from the editor. And then on top of that, they 364 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 5: have these sources that are going to you know, manipulate 365 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 5: the story. And then occasionally it's usually organic, they push 366 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 5: it out and then everyone all of the Hollywood and 367 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 5: the media and the bloggers and all the left on 368 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 5: X they read the New York Times to come up 369 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 5: with the narrative, and then they go out and they 370 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 5: distribute it, and how they control this narrative because everyone's 371 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 5: independent is basic reward, carrot and stick. So if you 372 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 5: copy the narrative, you get awards, you get a pull, 373 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 5: a serprise, or a book deal, or maybe it's just 374 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 5: travel to the Paris office to work on a thing. 375 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 5: If you buck the narrative, as a number have done, 376 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 5: then they are going to punish you. First, they're going to, 377 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 5: you know what, reassign you to the local news in 378 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 5: New York. You know that people don't read, and if 379 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 5: you continue to buck the narrative, they may fire you. 380 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 5: And then if you continue to buck the narrative, then 381 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 5: they are going to put you on the Wikipedia Blacklist. 382 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 5: And once you're on the Wikipedia Blacklist, I know because 383 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 5: I'm on it, then Google takes that blacklist, sucks it up, 384 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,959 Speaker 5: and every time there's a search result for an article, well, 385 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 5: when there's one by John Conrad, they're going to bury 386 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 5: that on page three because the Wikipedia Blacklist says and 387 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 5: so there's no fingerprint because Google didn't say, hey, we didn't, 388 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 5: we didn't penalize John or anyone else for being anti narrative. 389 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 5: You know, we got it from Wikipedia, and the Wikipedia 390 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 5: comes up with these weird sources, you know. For me, 391 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 5: they said I spanned it I wrote, which means I 392 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 5: wrote too many maritime articles on Wikipedia, and so they 393 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 5: said I linked it. That's how I got blacklisted. But 394 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 5: the things different. And then if you're really bad, someone 395 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 5: like our friend Jack pozek Uh, you know, they'll say 396 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 5: you're a Russian agent and they're going to full smear campaign, 397 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 5: which in his case is ridiculous because he's literally a 398 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 5: US Navy interlawser. 399 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: With John Conrad, Captain John Conrad obviously a shipping ban 400 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: but I wanted to ask him about this first and foremost. 401 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: I swear we are going to get to shipping at 402 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: some point, John, But I found your writing on this 403 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: to be really, really fascinating and revealing. It's something I've 404 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: talked about a lot, so it sounds to me like 405 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: what you're describing, and feel free to correct me if 406 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Is what a lot of people, myself included, 407 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: referred to as the hive mind. How it's not necessarily 408 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: one human being or one entity deciding things, but the 409 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: hive mind itself has decided these are the carrots, and 410 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: if you choose these carrots, you will be elevated to 411 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: hire ritchier positions, even go to Paris one day. If 412 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: you reject our carrots, then you will get the whip 413 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: and you will find yourself covering the winter moon and Anchorage, 414 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: Alaska in January. 415 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 5: Don't have that right, absolutely correct, But it is more 416 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 5: centralized than that, so you have you know, it's like 417 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 5: the mafia with the capo don's and the thing. And 418 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 5: here you know, in my example, I say four star 419 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 5: generals New York Times BBC, and you know in other 420 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 5: countries too, Der Spiegel, these liberal things, you know, they're 421 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 5: all meeting and talking at conferences and kind of predicting this, right, 422 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 5: and then they write they're kind of independence. So they 423 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 5: whoever they is controlling it, the blob, the elite doesn't 424 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 5: tell them. It's more corrective action. So if the New 425 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 5: York Times gets something wrong that the blog doesn't like, 426 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 5: you know, someone within the deep state, maybe it's Obama, 427 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 5: we don't know who will call the editor and help, 428 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 5: call all those friends at the other magazine and say hey, 429 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 5: we got to change this narrative. So they like as 430 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 5: light a touch as possible, right, so there are no fingerprints, 431 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,479 Speaker 5: and they trust these four star generals New York Times 432 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 5: editor in chief, MPR editor in chief to kind of 433 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 5: handle things on their own, and they only step in 434 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 5: when there's corrective action, and of course to punish the 435 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 5: low level soldiers, the journalists out in the field. 436 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: How about that? He is John Conrad. Make sure you 437 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: go read his stuff. Now, let's shift years and actually 438 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: get on what I told you I wanted to talk about, 439 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: and that is something you are an expert on shipping. 440 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask the most open ended question you've 441 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: ever been asked, But what are your shipping concerns right now? 442 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: For US? 443 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 5: All massive concerns. So China not only has a larger 444 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 5: navy than the United States, and everyone you know says, 445 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 5: well the US has more missiles or we got better training. 446 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 5: That's true, but how do we if there's a war overseas? 447 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 5: People forget the troops have to get over there, and 448 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 5: if there's contested airspace, you can't fly inm so you 449 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 5: have to ship them over there. Well, China has over 450 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 5: three thousand merchant ships carrying supplies, bullets, food, fuel, and 451 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 5: everything else. The United States only has eighty three in 452 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 5: international service, and none of these ships have any defenses. 453 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 5: Against drones or missiles like the sea wiz gatling gun 454 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 5: on the navy. We don't have any of that. So 455 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 5: as we're seeing in the Red Sea, we can't even 456 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 5: get the ships past the HOUTHI so how if we 457 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 5: can't get our commercial eighty three, which isn't enough past 458 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 5: the hoothies, how are they going to get over to 459 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 5: Taiwana or Okinawa to bring the soldiers and the bullets 460 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 5: and everything else if there. 461 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: Is a war, three thousand ships to our eighty three, 462 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: and our eighty three sound like they're virtually defenseless. I'll 463 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: tell you what, John, I already I already kept you 464 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: on for ten Do you have another few minutes on 465 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: the back end of this break to answer a couple 466 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: more shipping questions? If not, that's fine. 467 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 5: I have as much time as you need. Jessam, I'm 468 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 5: happy to be here. Thank you for inviting me. 469 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: We are going to talk about our shipping a little 470 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: bit more depth here in just a moment.

Probably that's one of 474 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: the main reasons I fell in love with Hillsdale College. 475 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: Hillsdale College is one of those things where my disgust 476 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: with the university system was rising at the same time 477 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: my impassionate love for history was rising.

Captain John Conrad talked 495 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: a little bit about the government corruption and media corruption 496 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: really just a little bit ago, but we're focusing now 497 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: on his particular area of expertise. One that fascinates me. 498 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: It's always fascinating me shipping. So John, you just laid 499 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: out that China has three thousand merchant ships. We have 500 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: eighty three and ours are completely undefended. So eighty three 501 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: Chinese missiles and we have zero. Can you start with this? 502 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: How did that happen? 503 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting you at the Hillsdale College because I 504 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 5: was talking to Eric Prince and he went to the 505 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 5: Naval Academy and he actually left the Naval Academy to 506 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 5: go to Hillsdale because he thought he would learn more 507 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 5: about ships there. So they really focused on the warships, 508 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 5: the guns, the missiles. But what really makes a nation 509 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 5: powerful is control of trade. Ninety percent of everything comes 510 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 5: on ships, and you have these choke points that you control. 511 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 5: So Gibraltar, that's why the Panama Canal is so important. 512 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 5: Greenland to get up to the Arctic. Singapore Street, and 513 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 5: you know, the Navy's just been laser focused on warships, 514 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 5: carriers and are straw and they're the best in the nation. 515 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 5: But they've completely pushed the US merchant Marine out of 516 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 5: their mind. They've they've cut out their entire budget. No 517 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 5: one cares about it. They've they've outsourced a lot of 518 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 5: the regulations to the absolutely corrupt un maritime body in London, 519 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 5: the IMO. And so you know, China saw that China 520 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 5: doesn't necessarily care what it attacks. It goes after our 521 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 5: weakest lengths. It wants to fill and the things we're 522 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 5: really bad at. So it's put this enormous amount of 523 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 5: money into the shipbuilding, the trade to controlling choke points 524 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 5: by having partnerships with Iran, who then partners with the Huthis. 525 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 5: So this is, you know, it's the navy's laser focus 526 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 5: on warships. And then there are periment prompts. Right, the 527 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 5: Navy can only spend what they spent. And we used 528 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 5: to build the carriers and battleships. Battleships like the Brooklyn 529 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 5: Navy Yard was a Navy it was a government shipyard 530 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 5: with government markers. Now all of the Navy ships are 531 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 5: built by corporations like HII or General dynamics and they 532 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 5: have to go get money from Wall Street. Well, Wall 533 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 5: Street found out it's more profitable to put money in 534 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 5: China shipyards because they have a higher turnover rate. And 535 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 5: you know, if the inventory is just sitting on the 536 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 5: shelves for six years, you're not making money. So they 537 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 5: pull money out of US shipyards and put it over 538 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 5: to China. And that's that's kind of the basics of 539 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 5: how we got here. 540 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So again we're speaking with John Conrad. So if 541 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: the money, the easy money is in Chinese shipping for 542 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: this is American shippings. That's why our shipping's underfunded and 543 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: China's is overfunded. Why is that a they have slave 544 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: labor thing? Has it just come down to that. 545 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 5: No, it's you know, these are big shipyards. You have 546 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 5: to dig out like the graving dock, so the ship 547 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 5: goes in and then they flood out the water. It's 548 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 5: big Quane's, big industrial equipment, and that has a capital cost. 549 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 5: So if you if you're going to buy a dry dock, 550 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 5: you have to go to Wall Street and say I 551 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 5: need ten billion dollars for a dry dock, and then 552 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 5: you build the dry dock and you've got to maintain 553 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 5: it for twenty years. You need to work for it. 554 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 5: You got to build that equipment. That equipment RUSS. It 555 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 5: has a lot of money associated with it. But instead 556 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 5: you can hire some one like McKinsey Consultants to do 557 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 5: a give them ten billion dollars for a study on 558 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 5: why our shipyards don't work. And then they complete the 559 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 5: study and they give it to the DD and guess what, 560 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 5: the problem is still there. So they got to go 561 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 5: back to McKinsey and say, well, the problem's worse now, 562 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 5: and mckinzy goes, hey, give us twenty billion dollars. I 563 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 5: don't these are hypothetical numbers. I don't want to focus 564 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 5: on Mackensey. It could be any of the defense contractors. 565 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 5: But the big thing is if they do a study, 566 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 5: or if they do a piece of software or something else, 567 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 5: they don't have to maintain it for the next twenty years. 568 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 5: So they don't particularly want to built ships Jesse. They 569 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 5: would rather do studies and then think tank reports and 570 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 5: other things that they can generate revenue and not have 571 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 5: the long term maintenance costs. 572 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: Speaking with John Conrad, Okay, John, one more question and 573 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,439 Speaker 1: then I'll let you go tell me about icebreakers. Why 574 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,240 Speaker 1: I should care, why they matter? 575 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 5: Well, you care about icebreakers because Donald Trump said the 576 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 5: other day we are going to build forty and this 577 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 5: is a key component of the Greenland strategy. So there's 578 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 5: the Greenland Iceland UK gap. If you've seen in the 579 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 5: movie Diplomat, the whole theory of that whole thing is 580 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 5: the importance of this gap, and it really is. You know, 581 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 5: I don't particularly like that show, but it is that 582 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 5: important because you know where if you control these choke 583 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 5: points to the Red Sea and everything else, if we're 584 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 5: able to shut him down, well, China can just go 585 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 5: up into the Arctic, and Russia has forty ice breakers. 586 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 5: So we really need to come up with a Maritimes 587 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,439 Speaker 5: strategy to secure these choke points, getting up the Barren 588 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 5: Straight and the Greenland Iceland Gap. So we need these 589 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 5: ice breakers to be able to go up there, and 590 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 5: none of our warships if we had to fight, if 591 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 5: the you know, Chinese navy goes to hide up there 592 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 5: or the Russian navy, how are we going to get 593 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 5: up there if we don't have ice breakers. So fortunately, 594 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 5: Michael Waltz is the creator of the Ships for America Act, 595 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 5: which is going to have reinvest in shipyards in the 596 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 5: merchant marine and those dirty logistics ships and things like 597 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 5: fireboats which we don't have in San Diego and resulting 598 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 5: in the big bonhom Richard fire. So he put this 599 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 5: through Congress and then Trump picked him for National Security Council. 600 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 5: And you know, I can't go into details, but Trump 601 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 5: has big plans, not just icebreakers, but other ships. And 602 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 5: he did one more thing. He instead of getting a 603 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 5: Navy guy and remember they're very focused on that kinetic warfare, 604 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 5: he got one of the best hitch fund managers in 605 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 5: the world, John Feeling, to come up with a financial 606 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 5: plan in order to amateurize these maintenance and get that 607 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 5: money flow stop to China and redirected into the into 608 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 5: the United States. So I'm telling you, Jesse, I I 609 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 5: can't reveal some of the you know, secret plans behind 610 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 5: the thing, but I am extremely excited about what's coming. 611 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: John Conrad. That was freaking awesome. Thanks for being patient 612 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: with us, making us smarter, John real quick plug your website. 613 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 5: Please gecaptain dot com and I'm on Twitter, John Conrad, 614 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 5: owen word Conrad with a k G. 615 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: Captain donor dot com go find him on Twitter. John 616 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: Conrad freaking awesome. Thank you brother, thank you. Hey, Chris, 617 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: I've got an ice breaker, do you know that? You 618 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: know what the ultimate icebreaker is. You walk up to somebody. 619 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: Hear me out, hear me out. You walk up to 620 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,879 Speaker 1: somebody and say, hey, do you have a cell phone? 621 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: And they're gonna say, well, yeah, I have a cell 622 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: phone because everyone answers yes, right. You always want to 623 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: ask a question you know the answer to in sales, 624 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: you say hey do you have a cell phone? And 625 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: they look right back at you and they say, okay, 626 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: yeah I have a cell phone. Why. That's when you 627 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: tell them, did you know that phone you're holding right now? 628 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: Because they always grab their phone, you're funding communism. That's 629 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: what you can tell them. It's the ultimate icebreaker. I'm 630 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: sure it works great on dates, although I've never had 631 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: the chance. And then what that does is it opens 632 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: up a door to you to tell them about pure talk. 633 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: You see. That's when you say, hey, I look it's 634 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: just you and me in this elevator. I'm here to 635 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: let you know you don't have to fund communism with 636 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: your cell phone. Every month, you can switch to pere talk. 637 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: You can pay like half. You'll be on the same network, 638 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: so we can still talk to each other by phone 639 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,720 Speaker 1: if we end up getting together or whatever. But pure 640 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: Talk is the way to go. See that's what you 641 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: call an icebreaker, Chris that or you can talk about 642 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: your ice maker a right anyway. Pure talk also has 643 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 1: a free phone. You can tell them that right now, 644 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: I phone fourteen or whatever. Pure talk is the best. 645 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: Dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly pound 646 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 1: two five zero, Say Jesse Kelly, we still have an 647 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 1: hour left. Isn't that exciting? Can't believe I'm still alive. 648 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: Hang on
