The liberal globalist order is at its brink and awakening a new conservative age. Dr. Steve Turley joined me every day as we discover answers to today's toughest challenges and explore the revitalization of conservative civilization. This is Turley Talks. Yeah, I'm going to pivot right to my great friend and mentor Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the House Fox News contributor. Newt, happy new year. I don't know if you saw any of that. We had the current speaker of the House. I know you've endorsed Mike Johnson. It was only a couple of days to go to January 6th, certification of the election. My point is, first of all, Johnson's a good man, second of all, this is no time for dawdling and third of all, let's get to Trump agenda going again. I mean, if this horrible New Orleans thing doesn't prove that, nothing else will. Well, I think that Mike Johnson has the hardest job in Washington. He has the smallest majority, I think, in history, and he has shown that he has the patience, the calmness. He's almost like Job. He's willing to sit and listen, talk to everybody. Now, some people would like to wave a magic wand. They'd like to throw a temper tantrum and have the world change. That's not how this works. The fact is, with President Trump's leadership and with Senator Thune's leadership in the Senate and with Speaker Johnson, I think if Republicans will agree to work as a team and legislating as a team sport, fully as much as football or soccer or basketball, I feel they'll agree to work as a team, I think they can get an amazing amount done. And as you know, you and I are to get together on the urgent need to pass a really large tax cut and deregulation bill. That can get done, but it's going to require every Republican, even the most self-righteous, to decide that they're part of a team, that they're going to get the best deal they can get, but in the end, they're going to stay together. And I'm very concerned because there are a handful of them who think that they are somehow so much smarter and so much superior that they can reject the president. They can reject virtually all the members of their conference and go off and cause chaos. It'll be a very bad thing for America. If Speaker Johnson is not elected tomorrow, and it will be, frankly, a very complicating thing for President Trump, who is supposed to get elected formally by the Electoral College on Monday. This is not a time for games, it's a time for working together. Well, it's Judgment Day for Mike Johnson at noon today. We'll have to first vote in on the first task for the new Republican majority, as you heard, they're very, very slim majority. And we'll see whether or not they're going to be able to keep their inherent dysfunctionality in check. We'll talk about that dysfunctionality in a mere moment. Also, we've got the latest on the terrorist attack in New Orleans. You are not going to believe what the legacy media is saying about it. Oh, my heavens, and Elon Musk takes on the UK establishment calling for the release. It's Tommy Robinson and the bombshell exposure of the UK government's coverups involving migrant violence against UK citizens. We've got all that and more, you are not going to want to miss this greetings. Everyone happy New Year each and every one of you. It is live stream Friday, our very first live stream of the year. I'm your host, Dr. Steve, your patron professor here to celebrate along with you the dawn of the new Golden Age.

I think you'll be very impressed with how each and every day we're able to cut through all of the nonsense and expose for you what's really going on in the world and how it actually all points to the rise of a new conservative age that you are bringing about.

And you can ask me all the questions you want and it will be my honor to answer them right here on this live stream. All right. So today is the big day. It's the first day of the new Republican majority and their first act is to elect a speaker. Mike Johnson, of course, is experiencing some major, I would say very deserved backlash for the nonsense. He's pulled during his last tenure, the latest being that ridiculous 1000 plus page CR continuing resolution. He being the swap rat that he is. He thought it was business as usual or Congress gives themselves Christmas gifts at your expense every year. And that is precisely why Kentucky Representative Tom Massey is a solid no on Johnson. Here's what he said to Matt Gates. If Roy were asked to serve as chairman of the rules committee, would that be enough to get your vote for Mike Johnson? Oh, no, you can pull all my fingernails out. You can shove bamboo up in them. You can start cutting off my fingers. I am not voting for Mike Johnson tomorrow and you can take that to the bank. Well, I guess he's a solid no. And how the problem here is that Johnson can only afford to lose one more vote with Massey gone. His margin of error is now just one. So House Republicans have 219 seats compared with 215 for Democrats. The math means that if only one other Republican joins Massey in voting for an alternative candidate, Johnson loses. Now, the problem with that is that the Republicans simply do not have anyone else who can garner a majority. And I'm sorry, but that is, I think Newt's right. That's an unassailable fact. You know, I'm reading X posts and I'm seeing things like, yo, let's get rid of Johnson put Tom Massey in the speaker and Tom Massey is the one he's maga all the way. And while I'm fully sympathetic with those sentiments, I love Tom Massey. But those posts are about as politically illiterate as you can get politics is about power. It ain't about ideology. You got to get that politics is about power. When all said and done, it's about the power to enact an ideology. We know that from the religious fundamentalism of wokeness, right? But politics is fundamentally about power. And those, I'm sorry, those X posts that say, let's get rid of Johnson and let's put in Tom Massey are blatantly politically illiterate. Massey wouldn't come close to winning a majority in the house right now. I'm sorry, he wouldn't know what Jim Jordan or frankly, anyone else. It's Johnson or bust at this point. And that is exactly what Texas reference of Ronnie Jackson is saying. Take a look at this. I don't know what's going to happen and how specifically do you plan to vote, at least on the first round on Speaker Johnson because that's this 15 hours away. Well, I'm absolutely positively voting for Speaker Mike Johnson. He's done a good job under the circumstances. We need to get this. We need to move the ball right now. President Trump has stepped out and said, let's put Mike back in the speaker's role so we can move on with the make America great agenda and what the American people have told us that they want us to do. We have to do that now. There's no time to mess around. It's time to put on our game faces and get it done. And I think that I hope that these people you're talking about. I hope that if they do vote against him, it's just a protest vote. We can get past that. We can come together as a conference because we will not win Jason unless we come together as a team. It's one team, one fight right now. We've got the House. We've got the Senate and we've got the presidency coming up. We've got to take advantage of this. We may never get another chance. And it's not just Ronnie Johnson. Here's Scott Jennings, the CNN giving his usual cold dose of reality. Think about having to survive something when we have an obvious option here. Mike Johnson has done a good job. Look, anytime the numbers are this close, it's going to be a very difficult job. And there are things that aren't going to go smoothly every single time. And we just have to accept that. Johnson's done a good job. The president trusts him. The president won the election. And a lot of Republicans won because of Donald Trump and the agenda he put forward. So what Donald Trump is saying is, give me a speaker that I trust and that I can work with so we can begin to pass my agenda. That's going to be a good enough reason for any member of the House Republican conference. We got a very closely divided House. The only way to move anything forward here is to have teamwork to stick together. Republicans need to start that process with the speaker's vote. Now, I've got to say that I think Jennings is spot on there as usual. Again, I'm not a fan of Johnson. But if President Trump trusts Johnson as Speaker of the House, that should settle it. There should be no infighting whatsoever about this. The most important thing right now is for Republicans to stand together. And it looks like that's happening. Matt Gates thinks Johnson will win the speakership on the first vote. We'll have to see. We'll know around noon time. We'll actually know in the next half hour or so I got my phone on just to see if you get to my phone blows up with some text there. You guys could let us know in the chat if you got any information there. But I do think Johnson will get the chair, especially after Trump's endorsement. In fact, Trump just tweeted out that Johnson has near 100% support. Trump is working the phones as of yesterday and into today. And so he's got nearly 100% support and he's going to need it with Massey bailing on him. And now keep in mind like you heard from Newt, the longer this plays out, the longer it delays the election certification vote schedule for Monday, which is J six. Massey is not going to be making any friends if if his principled opposition results in delaying Trump's certification, which of course will only end up making room, allowing Democrats to engage in their usual shenanigans. And that's the key here for me when all said and done. The Democrats are in utter ruins right now. The Democrats are in ruin. They are leaderless. They literally have no single leaders. We speak Biden's walking corpse. Kamala's a walking embarrassment. Pelosi is an octogenarian falling down and getting her hips replaced. Akim Jeffries is a woke lunatic laughing stock. The Democrats literally have never been weaker. And what are Republicans doing? Republicans are doing what they do best in fight. They're in fighting. The Republicans are an inherently dysfunctional party. Remember, we've talked about this is essential to understand in terms of power politics. Half the Republican Party wants to cut spending. The other half of the part of the Republican Party wants to increase spending for their own pork projects, most particularly Ukraine. Thank you, rhinos and neocons. Half Republicans want to cut like Rand Paul and so forth. Half the Republicans want to spend like Mitch McConnell. They are an inherently dysfunctional party. Those are two incommensurable dynamics that Mike Johnson has to try to find some kind of coalition with. And it's virtually impossible because the more he appeases the spenders, the more he loses the cutters, the more he appeases the cutters, the more he loses the spenders. Now, keep in mind, Democrats do not have this problem. Every single Democrat in the holes of Congress wants to increase spending. They don't have this problem. Every single Democrat in the holes of Congress wants to grow government. That's why they're 100% unified. That's why Nancy Pelosi could run a unified chamber, a unified house. The Republicans are an inherently dysfunctional party. You have got if you don't get that, then you don't, I'm sorry, you don't, you don't deserve to have an opinion about who should be speaker. If you don't understand the inherent dysfunctionality of the Republican Party, you have no basis whatsoever in putting forward an opinion on a speaker. I'm sorry, you don't because whatever speaker you put in there, they're going to have to deal with that dysfunctionality. And what we have to understand is that dysfunctionality may end up giving defeated Democrats the space to revive. That is absolutely the number one thing we do not want to happen. This is not about Mike Johnson in the end. Again, I say it again. I'm no fan of Johnson. I get it. But strategy, critical strategy involves prioritization. That's in that in an essence is what strategy is. Stratization is prioritization. You achieve your penultimate goals by first achieving your ultimate goal, your primary goal. And our primary goal must be to ensure that the Democrats forever remain out of power so we never ever ever see the disaster we've all experienced over the last four years ever again. That's what we all have to unite around. And if that terrorist attack on new years didn't bring that home, nothing will and wait until you see the latest on that.

If you can believe it, NBC News is now openly equating ISIS. ISIS inspired terrorism with American far extremism. That's right. I, of course, right on cue, right? Just hours after the brutal ISIS inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans that left at least 15 people dead. NBC wants to remind us all that such terrorist attacks are not specific or limited to ISIS or Islamic extremism. No, no, no, no, no. How dare we think in such a way? They're all part of a larger phenomenon that includes right here, right wing extremist American born. Check it out. And Ken, I think a lot of us did a double take when we saw that flag affixed to the trailer hitch on that on that vehicle. It was what appeared to be an ISIS flag. It's now been confirmed as such. What does this tell us about the state of ISIS is we launched into 2025? Well, look, the FBI director and others Lester have been saying for some time that the threat from ISIS inspired terror attacks is greater than it's been in a long time, particularly post October 7 in light of the controversy over the war in Gaza and people being inflamed across the Middle East about that. You also have a situation where political violence in the United States is increasingly a risk and more and more people are turning to extremist ideologies, whether it's ISIS or whether it's people who don't like health care executives or whether it's far right extremism. So you have a confluence of risk factors here. But what counter terrorism officials are saying is they are very concerned. A few years ago, they were telling us that the threat from Islamic inspired terrorism had greatly diminished. And that was true. And remember, of course, they defeated the ISIS caliphate in the Middle East. But the movement is not dead. It's out there. And it's online and radicalized individuals in the United States are susceptible to being inspired by it. And that's what appears to have happened here, although we need to learn more about exactly this man's path to radicalization. But here you had a person born in the United States spent years in the US Army and ends up flying an ISIS flag and killing multiple people in a horrific terrorist attack, Lester. All right, Ken. And it's not just NBC, their twisted sister, MSNBC, who remember Comcast executives are trying to sell off. Supposedly NBC News execs want to distance themselves from the left wing radicalism of MSNBC after the election disaster. Well, well, well, as you see, their coverage does not appear to be that far off or as far off as NBC executives would want you to believe. Check this out. And that is the tragedy of all of this, right? There are real tragedies. There will always be crime. Unfortunately, what we try to do is to keep the crime as low as possible. All different kinds of people will commit crimes. The problem here is that you jump on one sort of crime, one crime committed by one name that sounds exotic, one brown face, rather than looking at all of the domestic terror that we face, including what the FBI says, you know, is a really big problem, which is young white men in America. We need to look at all of our domestic terrorism and say this all is a problem. Indeed, exactly. And it is Americans that we need to be talking about. This is about us. That's joy read using her platform to spread racial poison all throughout the nation. Fortunately, less people than ever even watching that tripe and true to form here, just to show you how the legacy media actually collaborates with the deep state. At the same time, this report is coming out from NBC and MSNBC. The FBI released breaking news. I kid you not. This is in the last 12 hours breaking news on the supposed pipe bomber suspect from Jay six. Are you just hours after a terrorist attack? By an ISIS fanatic in New Orleans, an attack that could have been prevented, but the FBI was just too busy investigating the potential terrorist activities of concerned parents showing up at school board meetings. Yeah, that FBI within just hours after an ISIS inspired terror attack, the FBI announced an update. We've got an update drumroll. They've announced breaking news about their investigation into the J six pipe bomber. That's the real terrorism in our nation. Right with far radical right wing terrorism that we saw on Jason forget New Orleans. Forget Las Vegas. Nothing to see there. After all, we were originally told this was emphatically not a terrorist attack. And remember that it was merely an incident. An event as their borderline illiterate spokesperson originally told us to remember this. Good morning. My name is the lead kid Duncan. I'm the assistant special agent in charge for FBI New Orleans. As Chief Kirkpatrick said, we'll be taking over the investigative lead for this event. This is not a terrorist event. What it is right now is their improvised explosive devices that was found. And we are working on confirming if this is a viable device or not. As Chief Kirkpatrick said, we're asking everyone to stay away from Bourbon Street, specifically from Canal Street to Saint Anne. That is my ask. Once again, stay away from Bourbon Street, Canal Street, all the way to Saint Anne until we can figure out what is going on. Our goal is providing additional information at the 11 11 AM press conference. Thank you so much. And we will be in touch. Yes, well, not to worry. That same FBI within just hours after announcing that you got nothing to worry about. There's no terrorism here, no serene. No, this is just an event. Nothing more to worry about that same FBI. Took this occasion to announce a brand new update on the super elusive J six pipe bomber that has yet to be apprehended despite the bureau being able to snag hundreds of people entered the Capitol on January 6 keep in mind some of the current prisoners there were arrested because satellite imagery identified details like a birth mark on their freaking ear. Yeah, that same FBI who arrested, you know, they arrested you based on identifying a bracelet you were wearing that same FBI is finding it impossible four years hence to catch this supposed pipe bomber on J six, but they are tenacious. Don't let it be said that the FBI isn't always on the case. The new announcement, the new update is that the geniuses in the FBI have now determined in light of what we just saw in New Orleans, they have now determined the height of the alleged pipe bomber. That's right. The brand new detail that the FBI has uncovered that should rivet everyone's attention is that the pipe bombers approximately five feet seven inches tall. All right. Now off with you off you go. We're all unified in our efforts in our collective dedication determination never to allow another terrorist attack to ever happen again against our American values like what we saw on J six because remember J six was a single worst attack against our democracy in the history of the universe. What a bunch of clowns speaking of clowns. Did anyone catch something highly odd that happened at the presidential medal award ceremony yesterday? Did you see this? The ultra repulsive warmonger Liz Cheney actually received the presidential medal of freedom. I kid you not. This is the highest honor that the president could bestow, which of course has now been irreparably tarnished by this ridiculous cheap antique, but Cheney was awarded the medal of freedom for her work on the J six committee. Take a look at the cringe awkwardness that ensued. Elizabeth L. Cheney for putting the American people over party. [Applause] I mean awkward doesn't even help this awkward is not a good enough word for this. I mean you could tell she wants her arm back, but she can't escape and she tries to grab the medal with her other hand, but freaking Biden holds onto it and he keeps it out of her reach. I mean this is so perfect for who Cheney is for who both of them are, which is utter buffoons, clowns, fakes, literal good for nothing scum. I mean this would have been a better award right here. I love this meme. Do you see this? You look up close. It's the election results from the primary, the 2022 primary when she got out when Liz Cheney got absolutely shellacked when she went down in flames. That would have been that's that's the award that you guys all handed to her a couple of years ago. Now the good news is that after a thorough investigation, a House committee is recommending that Liz Cheney face a criminal investigation related to witness tampering as vice chair of the illegally established and now disbanded select committee on January 6. We now know that Liz Cheney was in secret communications with their star witness Cassidy Hutchinson. We actually have the text messages. That's what the reports are shared between Cheney and Hutchinson. We're Cheney coached her on what to say before her testimony. She reported went so far as to actually get Hutchinson to change her testimony and these communications ended up bypassing Hutchinson's lawyers. In other words, Cheney coached the star witness to the J six committee. Right when all said and done. I mean it doesn't get more crooked and corrupt than that. This is the very definition of witness tampering but it's all par for the course of that ridiculous kangaroo committee as a whole that consistently hid evidence that would have exonerated President Trump such as you know the the little inconvenient fact that he requested 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the Capitol building. I mean that little detail alone would be all you need to destroy their whole case against Trump after all calling for 10,000 National Guard troops to guard the Capitol doesn't tend to lend itself to the notion that Trump was trying to incite a insurrection. But the beauty of what we'll see here as of January 20th is that that inauguration will usher in an ironic and indeed just inversion of what we've been seeing over these last four years ever since J six. It's been patriots who've been prosecuted who've been persecuted who've been denigrated stigmatized as you see with NBC and MSNBC and Washington elites in the process have been celebrated and exonerated and cheer-related. Now, as of January 20th, all of that is going to completely invert the tables are turning. It's the elites, particularly entire J six committee who are now being recommended for prosecution all the while every single J six prisoner is about to be pardoned and released and I cannot wait to hear their testimony of what happened behind the scenes. In biblical terms, those who were exalted are about to be humbled. Those who are humbled are now about to be exalted, the first are being placed last and the last first. This is the ironic inversion that's playing out right before our very eyes precisely because of what you did on November the 5th. In fact, there are now reports, you'll love this, that federal prosecutors who persecuted J six defendants notice I did not say prosecuted, persecuted some of them haven't gone to gone to trials of yet. But some of these federal prosecutors who took on J six defendants who persecuted Trump, persecuted Trump's associates over the last four years, they're absolutely panicked. They're running scared right now. Many of the attorneys representing Joe Biden's Department of Justice are looking for what the Wall Street Journal calls protection and the exits and law firms, private law firms are seeing an unprecedented flood of resumes from department lawyers scurrying to find employment in the private sector. Perhaps maybe even fleeing the country. I'm not kidding. There are reports that a number of DOJ officials are taking, shall we say, extended vacations outside the country. They're scared to death. The true justice is indeed at hand. So this award ceremony, this ridiculous chaney and Biden moment, however awkward is really just one last hurrah before the hammer of justice comes crashing down on these corrupt clowns speaking of wait until you see what Elon Musk is doing with the woke government in the UK. This is going to absolutely make your day. We may get some justice for Tommy Robinson, who's also in prison as we speak.

All right, let's talk about Elon and the UK here. Elon Musk is calling for the immediate release of Tommy Robinson, who's been sentenced to 18 months in prison for breaching a court order by screening a documentary that contained supposedly libelous claims about immigrants and allegations of grooming gangs in the UK. Musk has tweeted out that the documentary that he saw is actually worth watching and that authority should free Tommy Robinson immediately. He sees him as a political prisoner. He is advocating that economic sanctions should be levied against the UK government until they release Tommy. He's openly asking this is Elon. He's openly asking why rapists are getting suspended sentences in the UK all the while Tommy gets the book thrown at him, 18 months in solitary confinement. And that, of course, is basically the pattern that sums up Tommy Robinson's crusade, as it were. He was originally arrested a few years back outside of a courthouse in Leeds, where he filmed members of an Islamic gang that were on trial for running a child grooming racket. And he filmed them entering into the court for trial, basically saying this is what the UK has come to. It's become a cesspool of migrant-based crime and lawlessness because of their ridiculous open borders policy and ideological commitment to multiculturalism. And so he was, and that, by the way, I think that's absolutely essential to understand that has always been Tommy Robinson's point. Tommy Robinson's point is not to denigrate this culture or that culture. His point is to denigrate the UK government establishment that is blindly committed to the ideology of multiculturalism. That's what he's pushing back against. And so anyway, he was arrested for what authorities called breach of the peace. He was found guilty, contempt, cork, because he had been warned not to film outside court houses. And he was sentenced back then to 13 months in prison with no trial, no due process, no appeal process, nothing. There was even a gag order that was imposed on the media. They weren't even allowed to report on it. A lot of people told me in the UK, we report on it. A lot of people in the UK told us they had to go to American and international news sites and independent content creators to get the latest on what was going on with Tommy. And so you had that happen a few years back. And now just months after getting released, he got arrested again for showing this movie detailing the scandal sex crimes committed. I guess I need to say allegedly committed right by migrants in the UK. And Elon Musk is calling the UK government out on their duplicity here. Why is it that this guy who's shedding light on these crimes, why is he getting punished? But the criminals largely aren't. Now there's a very good article on the Irish news site gripped entitled the UK grooming gang scandal is a Galileo moment. And the author of this piece starts by noting that there's a basic explanation as to why the UK's grooming gangs at the UK's grooming gangs scandal is so difficult for liberally minded people to wrap their minds around. And the reason for that is simple. It's because the scandal is exactly what the so-called far right says it is. Right, you just saw it with Lester Holt, you just saw it in MSNBC. The far right is only evil. We use that they use that term far right, radical right to stigmatize, to to tarnish, to denigrate. So if the far right says it, then it ought to be shut down by definition. So this is a this is a brilliant observation here, opening observation. The reason why woke lives have such a hard time wrapping their heads around the UK's grooming scandals is because it's precisely what the likes of Tommy Robinson says it is. These scandals are what they claim they are, what Tommy Robinson and the so-called far right claim they are. It actually entails it actually involves all the racial and religious stereotypes that we're told we're not allowed to even think of or let alone say. And what do you do if it all turns out to be true? What do you do? It's a legitimate question. And I would argue as I'll show you, it's part of the overall inherent contradiction of wokeness. And it's why wokeness will ultimately collapse. What is why Tommy will win? Tommy will win. Elon will win. Trump has won. I mean, there's a and looks like Nigel Farage and the reform party looks like they're about to win as well. This is obviously what makes Elon's tweets that have been coming up pretty rapidly over the last several days in support of Tommy Robinson. It's what makes Elon's tweets so odious and offensive to the woke media establishment because he's calling out the lie of the highly liberal conception of multiculturalism. And what is that lie? Or what is the claim that Musk is calling out? It's the claim that all cultures are fully and totally compatible with each other. And that given the right system, which is a globalist liberal system, they can always, always, always peacefully and harmoniously coexist in an open and democratic society. That's the basic notion of multiculturalism. That all cultures, regardless of what they are, all cultures are fully and totally compatible, I guess not far right. But all cultures are fully and totally compatible with each other. And they can all peacefully coexist in a liberal, open, democratic society. What Elon's tweets are doing is that by highlighting the British grooming gang scandal, he's effectively shattering that myth. And what makes what Elon is doing even worse is that he's actually highlighting the overwhelming evidence that in many cases, the abuse was covered up by UK authorities, and then deliberately downplayed by the UK media all across Britain. And that's exactly what the jailing of Tommy Robinson actually represents. So that's why this article calls these grooming gangs and their exposure, Britain's Galileo moment. So if you remember Galileo arguing, a lot of people don't actually know what actually happened. Okay, I'll, I'll do my best to kind of give fill in some of the blanks here and some of the misnomers. Galileo argued that the earth revolved around the sun, okay, so that we lived in the heliocentric cosmos, not a geocentric. Whereas the accepted cosmology of the time, we're talking 17th century here, was that the sun revolved around the earth, we use that phenomenological language day when we talk about sunrise and sunset. What's actually not the sun moving, it's spinning. But, but in point of fact, in the 17th century, most church officials believe in what's called a ticonic universe. They actually believe all planets revolved around the sun for the exception of earth, which is kind of interesting. That's how the math was working out in terms of their, in terms of their astronomical observations, planetary observations. Now, it's, it's actually, historically, it's a little bit complicated. There were a number of a series of events. The pope, in this case, Pope Urban the eighth, he oversaw the controversy. He was actually very, he admired Galileo's work and he was rather inclined to go with this new cosmology because the sun has historically been the symbol of Christ. So the idea of the symbol of Christ being the center of the cosmos was actually very exhilarating and thrilling. Regardless, a series of events unfolded, partly like Galileo insulting the pope in the process and the reason was because Galileo, I don't know why I'm going off on this. I just had, Galileo did not work out all the math yet. He did not work, but he was confident he would. And so he asked the church to accept this, this heliocentric model. The pope wanted more evidence. The pope said, I'll go with you since we're ticonic. We already believe all the other planets go around the sun. So I'll go with you, but you have to give me more evidence. And Galileo literally said, in effect, no, you're just going to have to trust me on this. And the pope wouldn't. Pope didn't get evidence. So he did not declare that what Galileo was saying was was ecclesiastically valid. So ironically, it was the church that wanted evidence. And it was Galileo that told him to go by faith. That's the irony. That's what actually happened historically, talking about it. Most of what the history windows inverted anyway. But regardless, the pope did end up saw Pope Urban the did end up siding with the prevailing cosmology, which is the geocentric cosmology of the sun revolved around an unmoving earth. And so, and this is what the article is trying to say, rather than give up on the prevailing myth, in light of the proponents, proponents of new evidence. But again, if fairness, Galileo didn't quite have yet, but he did he was vindicated in the end. But in light of that, well, Galileo and another thing, Galileo was never jailed. He was never jailed, but a heliocentric universe was declared heretical at the time, and Galileo was effectively silenced. So the article is right as far as that. But the gist is, generally speaking, you got somebody coming in to those who are in power that believe in some myth, he presents evidence to knock down the myth, and instead of admit that the myth is wrong and let's correct it, you silence the messenger, you silence the one who's bringing the evidence. And that's exactly what UK authorities are doing to Tommy Robinson as we speak. Tommy Robinson is in prison, not because he has done anything wrong. He's in prison. In fact, he's in solitary confinement, as I understand it, because he exposed the multicultural myth that pervades the British establishment as the fraud that it actually is. And the UK establishment chose to go the way of Pope Urban VIII, rather than admit that their precious multicultural myth is an abject lie. Now, what's so fascinating to me in all of this, and why I believe ultimately, Tommy and Elon in common sense will be vindicated, we will prevail, is that wokeness is once again revealing itself to be a totally and completely incoherent worldview. Wokeness entails its own futility, precisely because it is inherently contradictory, and contradictions inevitably implode, they inevitably unravel. What wokeness does is it brings to the fore a clash between two mutually exclusive liberal values. That's what you have to get. Wokeness brings to the fore a clash between two mutually exclusive liberal values. Whenever you're talking to someone about why you're not woke, maybe you are talking to someone who is woke. This is an interesting way. If there's a, if they are receptive to conversation, which most woke are not, because dissent is heresy. But if they are receptive to conversation, this is a great way to explain in a calm way why you're not woke, because wokeness inevitably brings to the fore two mutually exclusive liberal values. So, for example, for example, to kind of set the stage here and then go back to the issue at hand with Tommy, the whole issue of transgenders competing in female sports. Think about that. That involves a clash, a contradiction between two liberal values. Fairness and inclusion. Fairness and inclusion. So, the issue of trans athletes competing in female sports involves a clash between two liberal values. Fairness and inclusion. Liberals claim an equal commitment to the values of fairness and inclusion. But what happens when those values clash? What happens when fairness means that certain people cannot be included? They're going to have to be excluded from sports competition. Or the other way, what happens when inclusion means that sports competition is no longer going to be fair. So, the key to understand the inherent futility of wokeness is that wokeness always sides with inclusion, because wokeness involves the sanctification of the victim, of the oppressed. And so, room has to be made for including those on the margins, on the periphery of society. But in so doing, as in the case of women's sports, prioritizing inclusion ends up actually undermining the foundational rationale for any and all legitimate sports competition, which is fairness. That's why we have always prioritized fairness over inclusion. You've got two mutually exclusive values, or at least they can be. But if they're clashing, which one do you prioritize? We have always prioritized fairness, because without fairness, you don't have legitimate sports competition. You've destroyed sports. Fairness is intrinsic to legitimate sports competition, whereas inclusion is not. I don't care. Sports always exclude. Sports competition involves all sorts of permissible exclusions and discriminations. Heavy weights are barred from competing against lightweights, for example. Exclusion is a necessary component to fairness. So, this is why President Trump is absolutely right when he says that everything woke turns to dung, as we would say in the King James English. Simply put, if you don't have fairness, you have destroyed the whole point of sports competition. So, that's why fairness has to be prioritized over inclusion. But if you hold such a view right now today, you are now considered far right. You're now far right if you believe fairness takes priority over inclusion. Just ask Riley Gaines. So, this is why wokeness ultimately implodes in on itself. It only ends up destroying whatever it touches because of its twisted priorities. In this case, destroying sports competition. But it does so, ironically, by excluding anyone who has a dissenting opinion about the prioritization of inclusion. Interesting. So, wokeness does in the end exclude, but there's a caste system, a sacred group or set of groups that are not allowed to be excluded in any way. And everyone else gets to get excluded in the process, including even sports itself. So, you got in many ways the same thing happening here in the UK. You've got two liberal values. You got feminism and equal rights for women and fair treatment of women. And then you've got multiculturalism, inclusion, fairness, inclusion. And the question now is when they conflict, what do you do? Which one gets the priority? Do all imported cultures, as it were, have to now honor women's rights? Or if not, you're out. You're excluded. Or, or are women's rights getting, becoming subservient to imported inclusivity? What Tommy Robinson and Elon and a growing number of voices are calling out is that the UK government, the UK aristocratic establishment has decided, like a number of feckless sports officials, to prioritize multiculturalism over feminism. Imported cultures, inclusivity, will be socially and legally protected, even if they violate the fairness inherent in feminist norms, or idealized in feminist norms. That's an effect what Tommy and Elon are calling out. That's why Tommy is in jail right now. Tommy is in jail because wokeness excludes against those who would seek to exclude against a protected sanctified class. It's an inherently contradictory system. And that's why I think what's so key here is that we always have to remember as odious as they are, the woke left entailed their own demise. And by the way, I see the woke left in both, and we're talking about the UK, both labor and the Tories. The Tories are pathetically woke. Again, it's an establishment thing. It's a cultural thing, ironically. But I think that's one of the reasons why we're winning. We're winning at least in part because the woke have an utterly futile contradictory belief system. Elon sees it, he knows it's only a matter of time before patriots finally get their country back. Get their country back here, get their country back in the UK, and all of our country's back all throughout the Western world. All right, over to you. I've talked enough.

If anyone's got any updates, let me check on the vote. I don't know how long to vote or take, but let's see while we're getting your questions here. My first tweet is nwokeness, one of my favorite sites. Guys, Republicans don't have the votes for a better speaker than Mike Johnson. Kick and scream all you want, but that's the reality. It's true. I mean, again, politics is power. It's not ideology. It's the power to enact ideology, but it's only power. And yeah, that's all we've got. All right, what do we got gang? What do we got? ROT co-op, Dr. Turley, a couple of questions in one. What are some policies that we can expect? See, President Trump enact after his first 100 days. Oh, interesting days, 100 to 200. And what do you see President Trump doing in these first two years and how do you see it impacting the midterm elections? Oh, man. Okay. Yeah, it's a lot. I couldn't. So the strategy always involves prioritization. And so he's made it very clear that his two fundamental priorities on day one is close the border and drill baby drill. Remember, he's so I'm going to be dictator on just one day. And that's it. I'm going to close the border, drill baby drill. And entailed in closing the border is, of course, the mass deportation as well. Tom Hommen, who would be if he were alive a thousand years ago, he would be a Nordic skull crusher. That's what I think. We got to have memes of Tom Hommen as a skull crusher. But so that those are his two major priorities. And then what it looks like, what it looks like he's going to be focusing on is domestically is doge. So he knows, he knows if he goes into the midterms without completely dismantling the administrative state, it would have been, it would all been a waste. And given, given that I think Trump believes they at least had some participation, what happened on J 13 in Butler, at least through some willful incompetence. I think he is, he is going to be adamant on dismantling the whole of the deep state. So I think this is going to be pretty extraordinary. Mass deportations, drill baby drill, and dismantling of the deep state. It's going to be primarily through EOS. I don't see the Republicans being again, they're inherently dysfunctional party for the reasons I explained. But the good thing is that those EOS are going to be hard to reverse, because so much of the function of the administrative state is either going back to states, or they're going back to like an education, or they're going back to Congress and the courts. So Congress and the courts now will draw that power in that the deep state had, it will be incredibly diluted by its nature since the executive, the power of the executives, not behind it. And that's going to be very hard for any, any Democrat successor to reverse by an EO. So EOS can be very effective at dismantling. EOS could be effective at remantling, but only if the power remains under the executive branch. If the power has been completely removed from the executive branch, then it would be very difficult to reverse that. So that's what I think Trump is going to be doing focus on. We'll have to see with the midterms. I know Scott Pressler, I know Cliff Bologna, a lot of guys are strategizing. How do we make this midterm good for Republicans? How do we do that? And so they're strategizing in terms of implementing the voter registration and ballot chasing initiatives that were put into place in 2024 and solidifying them and expanding on them like in Jersey for 2026. We'll have to say, I just, I think Trump's domestic policy of energy independence has the potential dramatically reducing prices because the cost of goods ends up dropping automatically. You know, when energy's up, everything's up. So if he's able to get this economy roaring, he's able to get a bunch of tax cuts made permanent and expanded upon no tax on tips and service industries like Vegas, he's able to do that. And the economy ends up booming. I think Democrats are in for real bad midterm. If the Republican Congress is just dysfunctional and ridiculous, all bets are off. I don't think demographically Democrats can do very well in the Senate for the foreseeable future. It really does look like the Senate map is going to be solid red for the foreseeable future. But all bets are off in Congress. We'll see Congress is just where there's a lot more or it's just it's a bit more tenuous and tumultuous there. So there you go. I do hope and I pray, I think he'll do it. But I do think we'll see some peace in Ukraine and peace in Gaza as well. Michael, Dr. Steve, we need to unite now more than ever. I don't want to see another round of infighting. Like what happened, Kevin McCarthy? What was it? 15, I think 15 rounds of votes? It was insane. We'll have a speaker to certify the elect. Will we have a speaker? We'll see. We'll see to certify January 6th. I think we will Michael. I do. I think I don't I don't I got it on good. I got it on good sourcing that. Massies is is up to something that's on our side. That's good. That's good for us. So I'm not quite sure what's going on with him and Chip Roy, but I think I think we're going to be okay. But we'll see. We'll see. They're voting now as I understand it. So I'm I'm keeping an eye on X to see if we've got any updates as we speak. See up 433 members of Congress are being in sworn in today. All right. Michael, Dr. Oh, sorry, ROT Corp just about to get on a plane and leave the snowboarding slopes and New Year's parties with family of Denver, Colorado for the hard labor and salt mines. A back home have a very safe flight ROT. I bet you had a beautiful, beautiful time where we had a we had a lovely white Christmas in Connecticut that you probably saw. I did a quick video there on Trump and the civilization state. Quirk, Bender, Happy New Year, Dr. Steve, just met a Ukrainian, repaired my Maytag dryer. It's been watching too much yet CNN and MSNBC. I shared with him some things that had gone on mostly from 2014 of the whole NATO versus Russian negotiations that the CI doesn't want. He was clueless. Wow. I'm sure we educate our friends in 2025. I think you're doing it, Quirk. I think you're doing it. Maybe maybe share with him some some your some of your favorite content creators. Share with him links to X. But yeah, I mean, if he's if he's watching CNN, MSNBC, even Foxy, you know, the Karl Rove, Murdoch world of Fox, Paul Ryan world of Fox all get to all be pro Mitch McConnell and Ukraine and military industrial complex. So, I mean, if if he was interested in scholars, you know, John Mearsheimer would be one from University of Chicago, Jeffrey Sacks of Columbia University. It would be very good. You know, I love the Duran. You might want to ask him to check out the Duran, Alex and Alexander for geopolitical analysis. But you know, but you know, you also have to be you have to be sympathetic to you have to be sympathetic with the sense that, you know, if he's if he's from Western Ukraine, he's going to be very anti-Russian, which is no way around it. If he's a Russian speaking Eastern Ukraine, he's going to be more sympathetic. So those dynamics are just there. And there's it's sometimes it's just, you know, it's just it's making sure you just maintain a good relationship and be kind and amicable. Missy, I see problems already with the strong personalities and Trump's team clashing and not discussing issues like work visas. Oh, the H one be with each other before making all kinds of public statements. They need to show United front with each other and we their supporters. What can we do about this? Do you think Trump sees this problem? That's a great question. So, okay, so the overall structure you want to have in place, what we're going for in terms of a vibrant social order is something akin to what I think scholars refer to it as a Risto populism. So this goes back to Aristotle, okay, a Risto populism. So Aristotle recognized you're always going to have like a triangular hierarchy in any society. You have the masses, the people represented by the bottom half of the triangle, and then you're going to have this top half. And those are going to be your top 10%, your top one, you know, you're like your professional athletes, but then then that the they have their own, you know, elite triangle or pyramid, however you want to do it. And then among them, there's going to be the top top top elite, you know, the most famous of them all, Muhammad Ali of boxer Irish, like Rocky Marciano or Mike Tyson, right? I mean, there's thousands of boxers in that, in that tiny elite triangle up there, but there's always going to be the elite elite elite. So you got billionaires like Soros with a few billion, but then we got our billionaire like Elon was 400 billion, right? So he's on the top top top of that pyramid. So Aristotle recognized you're always going to have the top of a pyramid, even in socialist and communist countries, you have a top of the pyramid, right? Now he said if those at the top of the pyramid despise the people that are in the bottom half, you have what's called an oligarchy, which is basically a tyranny. And that's bad because in the end, then you have the rule of the few at the expense of the majority. But if you have something like the French Revolution where the majority rise up and take out that top 10% or so, then you just have mob rule. If you all you have is the bottom half and just the people, then ironically, you end up ironically having chaos. So he, Aristotle believed the ideal model for society is what he called, well, what scholars refer to, I don't think he had a term for it, but he, but what scholars refer to today, like Patrick Deneen, as aristopapulism, meaning, aristocrats, the top 10% say, have to use and want to, I shouldn't even say happy, they want to use, they are inspired to use their power and their affluence to enact, to enable, to realize the values, interest, and concerns of the people. Perfect example of this would be how the Vanderbilt's and the Rockefeller's built gorgeous cathedrals all over the country in the 19th century and the early 20th century. When you go into the city, any city and you go and you like, say, center city, you're always going to see these beautiful stone ornate European like cathedrals and churches. Okay, where did they get? Where, where they get the money for that? Well, it was from our aristocracy. I went to school at Peabody Conservatory Music. Well, it's named Peabody after George Peabody, who was a philanthropist, philanthropist who used his power and his wealth in order to make life more true, good, and beautiful for everyone. Okay, it's the complete opposite of what, you know, someone like Bill Gates does or Larry Think, you know, of, of Blackrock. I mean, they literally do nothing for the good of culture and civilization with their money. It's very, very sad. So that's what we want. We want to restore populism. And the good news, I think, Missy, is that we saw it on X. So we saw Trump appointed somebody for his AI advisor, an Indian fellow who has said publicly that we needed more or less to import more foreigners to work in tech. And Laura Loomer and a number of others pushed back against this choice. Vivek freaked out, kind of pushed back against them. They pushed back hard against Vivek. Elon came in and he said, no, I'm all for these H1B visas. We want this. And boy, did that, did that provoke the ire of something like Steve Bannon? And this is going, this went on for about five days 24/7 on X. And finally, in the end, Elon said, yes, you're right. There's been a lot of abuse. And here's how we can fix. Here's how we can fix that abuse. And until that abuse is fixed, then we shouldn't even be talking about it. I agree. So what you ended up having here is this national conversation on a platform that was bought for by $44 freaking billion from Elon. And he, we got passionate, we got heated. But basically, we've seemed to work out an agreement that in the end, when all is said and done, we got to seal our border and we got to make sure that H1B visas and that H1B visa program is no longer exploited and abused the way it has been at the expense of the American worker. The American worker needs to flourish. The American worker needs to flourish in the golden age. And everyone seemed to say, okay, I got it. Now, if all of that's working, and then, and then there's room for others to come in and participate and who want to be a part of our American culture, our distinct culture, we're not going to placate to them. They have to, they have to adjust to us. If that's it, then then we're good to go. So I think that's what you want. That's a healthy discussion. Keep in mind that whole H1B visa debate happened with the media completely sidelined. That's what I call techno populism. The media was completely sidelined through all all they could do was watch and observe and they realized that they're like, well, we can report on this, but this is this is something that is engulfed our politics and we're not even a part of. We're just spectators, past the spectators and all this. So I think that's, you want to, you want a risk to populism, which explain what it is. And then you want a platform that enables us to debate and discuss openly people and aristocracy, but without the legacy media in a new, emancipated technology and telecommunication that allows us to move forward away from the old industrialized institutions of like the legacy media of the old, modernist world and into a new civilizationalist age where the people and the aristocracy become one in effect in terms of our values. So that's big, big answer, but there you go. Franz, happy new year, Dr. C, happy new year to you, Franz. As far as his investigations go, aren't we expecting too much from an administration? I can't figure it out who smuggled cocaine into the world. I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm not expecting anything over the next 17 days. I rather than just patent insane nonsense of, oh, we can't blame people who don't look like us, you know, all this idiocy. I mean, it's just like, it's got nothing to do with that. It's got like, come on, guys. So anyway, I do, I don't expect anything either as well. Let's see. Oh, they're calling to saying report shock and awe expected on day one of the Trump presidency. Ooh, I cannot wait. Not getting any reports on votes yet. So keep me updated if you guys hear anything, Jennifer, is a simple definition, democracy majority rule. I mean the majority of the people of Federalist Republic, which we are, is governed by law. Is this why the Democratic leaders have such a blatant disregard for the law and feel that in order to achieve what they want, they have every right to break the law? They have become so blatant and unapologetic about doing it, your thought. That's kind of neat, Jennifer. Yeah. Well, the strange thing is they are anti-democratic. That's the weird thing. So let me, let me back up. So yeah, I think you're right. That's a pretty good majority rule. Technically, technically, democracy is the people rule. So demos, it's the Greek for people and Krasis is to rule. So the rule of the people, that's just demos, Krasi. Democratia and, but generally speaking, the people rule by virtue of a majority. And in a Federalist Republic, the foundation of the society is not a majority vote. The foundation of society are rights that the people have in relation to the government, that the government is not allowed to violate. Republics, generally speaking, involve executive restraint. So is to maximize individual freedom. And then in our case, we have a constitution that enshrines those rights as inviolable. So we can vote to, we're blue in the face. If the courts consider what we're voting unconstitutional, they will shut it down. Now, there's a way we could get around that. And that is if we can get a super majority, two thirds of the people to vote for it. And then two thirds of Congress to vote two thirds of governors and state legislatures to go for it. And then two thirds of Congress to go for it. Well, then we can actually put in, we can change the constitution. So there are, so that would, the idea is obviously then there's something that needs to be amended or done if that many people, it's not perfect. But if that many like, like prohibition, for example, but nevertheless, that's the key to, I think, understanding the difference between democracy and republicanism. Republicanism is a rule by law, like you're saying, whereas democracy is a rule by the people. Now, they play off of each other and that you can live in a republic that allows the consent of the governed to decide a lot of things. And so that's where the democracy side of things comes in. Democrats, I guess you're right to the extent that they think that they have a majority, they're going to defer to this almost ultra Democrat way of thinking. It's the majority rule. Your principles and your laws and your paper be damned. I remember, I mean, sitting with a Democrat once, and I explained to him what you're advocating is blatantly unconstitutional. And he looked at him and said, I don't care what a piece of paper has to say. And you know, he missed the point. I'm like, it's not a piece. It's not a piece of paper. Actually, actually, you could pull up the constitution on a laptop. It's not a piece of paper. It has nothing to do with the, the medium upon which it is written. It is, it has to do with the, with the concept, the governing concept of the sacred concept that orders your society. Your sacred concept is, well, majority rule, and as long as the majority is going my way, but the founding father's sacred concept is no, it has to be a republic. There has to be a rule of law. There have to be constitutional norms that govern and help adjudicate the consensus of the govern and then they play off of each other. So not sparks off each other. So I could see that, but most of the Democrats, most of the time Democrats do go against the world of people. Voter ID would be a perfect example that 80% of the country wants voter ID, but you go to end, not a single solid Democrat trifecta state where they own the governorship plus the, their state Senate and House, not one has, as I understand, has a voter ID. And even when the majority of their constituents want it. So I think it's a selective democracy in the end. Maybe that's a way to look at it. Terry, who do you think set up the attacks on Bourbon Street in New Orleans and in front of Trump International Las Vegas? Was it a Middle Eastern terrorist group or do we just watch a false flag operation by a desperate late gasping deep state? Does that explain the Fort Bragg connect? Yeah, that Fort Bragg in North Carolina is interesting. It seems like a Ralph, too, had some connection there. The guy tried to assassinate Trump at the international golf course in West Palm Beach. I don't know. I don't know. I don't have any inside scoop on that. I am worried. What's her name, Sarah? As it's Sarah Adams? Right. She was on what's Sean's last name. I'm forgetting. You guys know, I'm sure. When in his shows, saying, I mean, she's a former CIA operative, she said we probably have about a thousand, yeah, would be jihadi's that have that across the border over the last four years, that are just ready to go. She's afraid that October 7th was a dress rehearsal, and the real things could happen here. Scary stuff. But it's exactly that kind of... We wouldn't believe it's funny. We wouldn't believe it if Trump were president because the border security and the deportation efforts, we just wouldn't believe it. But obviously, we believe it now, given the deliberate abdication of law enforcement responsibilities at the Southern border by this shell, ridiculous administration. So I don't know, Terry. It's a good question. I don't know at this point. I'm just open to the evidence and where things go. I mean, I could speculate. My concern is it's a little bit of both. My concern is that there's or a little bit of all of the above that there is a willful complacency on the part of authorities, a willful incompetence. We might call it weaponized incompetence. I think there are some nefarious forces from outside that may have infiltrated that are radicalizing. And so there is our own who are part of it. And it may just be getting hyped up and heightened as Trump is coming in to try to thwart the Golden Age as much as they can. So we'll have to see how it plays out. I got my money on our team, though. Trent, Dr. Turley at the Christmas party, I asked if you were overconfident the extent of the defeat of the left. You mentioned the power of optimism. It's a powerful idea. Can you talk more about this? Thanks, Trent. Yeah. So, let's see. I remember the question. So we live in theological terms, we live in a fallen world, meaning that most of what you and I do, as Trent is, I'm sure you will affirm, most of what we do fails. Most of what we do fails. Just think about when we were kids, when we were first trying to learn to walk, or when you first tried to learn to ride a bike. We live in a world of entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, where the dynamic is one of breakdown. A lawnmower doesn't break up, it breaks down. So most of the new things we try to do, we're going to fail. If you're trying to learn how to cook, your first dishes are probably not going to be that good. If you're trying to learn an instrument, your first song might be pretty squeaky. Most, and if you get into entrepreneurship, this is what I was afraid of, leaving the classroom, leaving academia, and getting into broadcasting. I knew going in most of what we do fails. That's just the way it is. So who are the ones that succeed? Are they just lucky? Well, some are, but most aren't. Otherwise, I'm going to be luck, you'll be the law of average, right? So yeah, some are. But no, look at the sum total of all who are successful and who stay successful. How do they do it? Hard work, sure. Perseverance, endeavor. But how? Why? Why would they keep doing hard work? Why would they keep doing hard things? Why would they keep persevering and endeavoring? Because of their optimism. They believe in the end, they are going to accomplish that goal they have before them. And unless you have that unwavering belief, that ability to see, if I recall, it's the same thing like an optometrist, optimism, the ability to see your goal and believe it and go for it, then you're never going to accomplish it, ever. So what I really push back against conservatives, and I get it, it's been a rough four years, and it was a rough eight years prior to 2016, and it was even a rough four years between 2017 to January 20th, 2021. Yeah, I mean, it was right. Trump just constantly under assault by his own party half the time, freaking Paul Ryan, Eddie Munster, and all these guys, Mitch McConnell. So I get it. It's tough. But unless you have unbridled optimism and moving forward, you're never going to move forward. You're always going to get pushed back. And then you get pushed back enough and you say, all right, enough, I'm done. And you take your ball and you go home and you'll never get good. You had that. So any setback you have, you know, you have to put your faith that the next time you're going to do it. And it could be what is, I think Thomas Edison once said, you know, whenever he had an experiment that finally worked, he said, well, you didn't see the 2000 ones that didn't. And he got and again, the way he managed his pessimism and disappointment was by pointing out that every time you fail, you now know what not to do. And you have to go through that. It's the fast before the feast. Again, in theological terms, it's the fast before the feast. In Christian terms, it's the Friday before Sunday. But you got to hold on to the fact that Sunday is coming. So there you go. Rock Oh, got to Steve, can Trump recess appointments entire cabinet on the 20 just to get to work ASAP? Well, he'd have to, well, he'd have to suspend Congress or Congress that have to voluntarily suspend. I don't see that. I don't think he has to worry about that. I really don't. I think most of his cabinet picks will get confirmed. I don't think we have to worry about that. Trent, I served with the army in Afghanistan. Thank you for his service, Trent. After the Biden betrayal in Afghanistan, right, was it August 15th, if I recall, right? 2021, the day that will live in infamy was horrible. My Afghan interpreters to whom I owe my life, God bless them, must run from the Taliban. Biden State Department won't approve visas demanding paperwork that never existed for these men. How can I bring about new policy to save these men? Dang, Trent, I don't know. That's a great question. I don't know. You know, my thing would be, obviously, is to write to senators, email senators, reach out to senators as much as possible, representatives, your own others, and see what they can do, see what they would suggest. But that's very, yeah, that's beautiful. That's a beautiful thing to dedicate yourself to. I love that. So yeah, that's what I would contact. I mean, because in the end, ultimately, I think it's going to be the State Department. So I would contact senators, representatives, and then hopefully they can work their magic with the State Department. JD Vance starts laughing while Vice President Kamala Harris swears in new US senators. That's funny. Sorry, I'm just looking at a headline there. Yeah, keep us, let us know what's going on with that Trent. Let's, let's stay on top of that. That's a worthy cause that we'll want to help you out with. And if anybody knows anything that has some suggestions for Trent, let us know in the comments below in the chat. Patriot, Joel, Steve, you were so sick over the holidays. I have it now. Oh, oh, were you? How do you work and kick this? I'm in day 10 and still sick. A F apparently had traveled to Chicago area. What's your secret? Please. Yes, going to see Jordan Peterson, who's speaking 10 days? Very cool. Couldn't afford the meat and Greek tickets on my retirement salary. Got to kick this black plague by then. I want him to sign my books and would love to meet him for psychological health reasons. Oh, I hope you feel better, Patriot Jules. I hope you feel better. No, I wasn't too bad over the holidays. I was there was a little there was, I mean, a couple of my kids were certainly sick. But just, you know, make sure you take good care of yourself. Lots of prayer and and vitamins and whatever you you can you can do just to get that heal that body back. So, oh, you're going to love Jordan Peterson. That'll be wonderful. Right. Oh, I got to see how quickly can President Trump force peace talks in Ukraine. Can the removal of sanctions against Russia lead to warming of relations? Yes, yes. We will have to see. Again, I hope he does not listen to neocons that are wanting to increase sanctions. So, no, I think yeah, I mean, he said day one, he wants the killing to end same with Gaza day one. So, we'll have to see it's complicated. It got it. It's made more complicated in that this involves NATO and the military industrial complex. It was going to be some pretty powerful forces for Trump to push back against on day one. So, we'll have to see. Well, I thought just to give this piggy chaney, hang that metal on our jail cell. Oh, we can only hope. We can only hope that's for sure. I hope so. Right now I got to see what happened to all the news reports about drones over Jersey. And interestingly, they're all gone. Well, maybe the drones are gone. Do you think that Vegas and New Orleans were false flags that these two were set deep state were that these sorry that these two were deep state assets? I said because of the statements made by sewer rats, Trump will be facing unprecedented challenges at the beginning of his term. Yeah, I hear you. That's why I remember I thought they were saying it about the about incoming virus. But you know, I don't know. Honestly, I don't. I don't know what the nature is of anything's possible. I don't trust our government. This is the problem with delegitimacy. When you go through a process of loss of trust and confidence, people people believe anything, you know, rightly or wrongly, it's it's the very fact that the government has lost so much confidence. So it could have been, yeah, I mean, we'll have to see. I just, you know, you know, I don't like dealing with conjectures. Dr. Steve is home and appointed effective 120 can start deportations. That's on 21st. He said on the 20th after noon, January 20th, they're going to start deportations. It's going to be shock at all. That's what they're calling it. I can't wait. I love Tom home. It's true, Patriot. Patriot Jules. Did anyone else see Liz? I roll it by and I did. She looked so embarrassed. I went back and recorded that moment. Yeah. Yeah. With even Liz Cheney's looking at you rolling her eyes, you know, you've lost it. He's just up. Oh, man, just a sad little man. And that's good, gang. All right. Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend. I'll see you on January 6th, which should be the day that our dear president, a president elect is certified. I don't think we're gonna have any issues with that. As long as the Republicans get their act together today, we shall see. So keep it all in prayer. Pray always. And I will see you on the sex. God bless you, gang. Take care.
