Why D.O.G.E. Will Be Successful Where Others Have Failed: Vivek Ramaswamy and I share close personal friends, and everyone gets it–this time

Vivek Ramaswamy and I share close personal friends.  I happened to have had dinner with a few of them the other day, and we had an excellent talk about D.O.G.E., this new Department of Government Efficiency, and what it was that would make it successful as opposed to every other attempt in history to reign in government overreach and waste at the expense of taxpayer budgets.  We also talked about their appearance in Time Magazine, a special commemorative to President Trump.  From my own experience, I have been pointing out government waste for a few decades now.  To take on a job like this, you have to have independent wealth to a certain extent.  Suppose you are making money off the system. In that case, it is nearly impossible to reform the system, and most of the political figures that have come and gone through the Washington D.C. culture may have had a lot of money, but they aren’t independently wealthy.  To manage something or to reform it, you can’t be a desperate fool trying to rub two dimes together that you found in a couch to make a penny.  You need to be able to insulate yourself to have objective thought.  That is what makes Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk unique at this point in history; they are independently wealthy.  Trump is independently wealthy.  Most people joining Trump at the White House are independently wealthy, and Democrats have taken notice.  They have an unnatural hatred of wealth which is part of the problem.  At the heart of all government waste are these anti-capitalist, money-hating unions that have a side story of collapsing the entire economic system of the United States, and that is certainly the philosophy behind the labor movement, which is at the heart of the problem.  So I was talking about this issue at a nice, intimate dinner, and I can just tell everybody, this D.O.G.E. thing won’t be like anything else ever done or attempted before.  And, it could only happen because of the independent wealth of the leadership.  Because to do the job correctly, you have to have the objectivity to avoid the face up against the glass perspective that most in government always have.  And solve the problem for good.   I know from personal experience that Vivek Ramaswamy is one of the few who are qualified and able to perform the task.

Of course, I’ve been involved in the background many times to try something like this D.O.G.E., such as SB5 back in 2012, where there was an effort to make public sector unions illegal in Ohio.  This has been a problem for a long time; unions are attached to government labor because you can’t have any meaningful discussions about budget reform with radical left-winged unions running the budgets.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a public school or the FBI.  Too many government agencies are locked in place, and too many labor unions pay people too much to work too little.  So, taking that problem on involves many people who make money off the chaos, including many politicians who built that system.  Many became very rich from insider trading, so once everyone drinks from that cup of corruption, there is no going back, and things get out of control.  The SB5 effort failed for many reasons, but it came down to independent wealth.  Too many people involved in the reform were in their key income-making years and could not be objective about the necessity of government operations.  They feared not making their own money out of that process, so they were too weak to perform the task when the rubber hit the road.

The Tea Party effort tried to work with the system for many years, but the SWAMP was deep, and the alligators and pythons wanted to eat you every time you tried to pull the plug, so they were very vicious.  That means you can’t be a swamp creature and still drain that swamp so that we can make something much better.  I remember when I first met Vivek Ramaswamy through the friends mentioned and others, and we talked about where he was in life.  I understood, and he asked me if I wanted a picture with him while we were talking.  I felt strange about it; I’m not the kind who does that very much.  But looking back on it, it was one of those pinnacle moments.  A year later, I had him sign a copy of his book Woke Inc. because I felt he was on to something unique and special.  He wrote in front of my book, “Speak Freely,” because at that time, he didn’t know what he was going to do.  Maybe he would be a senator or the President, but he would use his independent wealth to try and give something back and fix this government waste problem.  He understood that the way to do that was not to attack the problem where it was most potent, but in other ways, such as through free speech, so he wrote what he did in my book.  Vivek Ramaswamy had earned the ability to criticize the system through his private wealth because he wasn’t dependent on it for his livelihood. 

Ironically, that is precisely where Elon Musk is in his life.  What good is being the wealthiest person in the world if the world is declining in value?  It’s not the stuff you can buy, but it’s what the stuff is worth that matters.  And how D.O.G.E. will work was outlined in Vivek’s books.  I saw this early on and have been very excited about that approach.   I knew it would work and that Vivek was on to something that could have only come from his unique perspective.  And that D.O.G.E. will be very effective, not in the way that the government unions are ready for.  They are not prepared to fight on this front but believe me, we have tried to give them all a fair shake, and they spit in our faces.  Don’t try to befriend people who spit in your face.  If they want to destroy themselves, then let them.  And that, ultimately, is what will happen with D.O.G.E. and why it will succeed while all other attempts have failed.  When we’ve had government shutdowns in the past, it was always what labor took away to extort resolution through pain and suffering, the typical radical labor union perspective.  People are tired of that type of management method and are ready for a barrage of free speech on the matter, which only people who are independently wealthy can afford to utter.  In that way, government reform won’t be done through the front door of legislative control, which Congress can hide behind by saying that the rules of government labor tie their hands.  But that the foundation that all the rules were built to protect the very lazy and corrupt from the merits of judgment reside that will be dealt with, for really, the first time in the history of the world.  And I am thrilled to see it and that Vivek Ramaswamy is at the heart of the reform.  I know it will be successful because he and many others are also involved in very healthy ways in front and behind the scenes.  And it’s about time!

Individuals Beat Corporations Every Time: Why success happens

This could apply to anything, but studying why some movies released at the theater are better than others is critical because of how the movie business works.  People get together and tell a story, and the value of that story is released to the public for them to vote on.  People tend to think of Hollywood as very glamorous, but in truth, very few people who work in the industry ever get to be a part of an extraordinary success, a ratio even less than in other fields of endeavor.  So it is always interesting to understand why some people put together a string of hits, such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, along with producer Howard Kazanjian.  An even more important example is the role that George Lucas’ first wife, Marcia Lucas, played in some of the most memorable and good movies of all time.  Also, why did a small, family-owned company like Lucasfilm lose its magic once it became a corporate conglomerate under Disney?  All this was in a fabulous book called ‘A Producer’s Life,’ which was about the life and times of Howard Kasanjian, who produced several of the Star Wars movies and the start of the Indiana Jones franchise, among other classic films like Cool Hand Luke, The Wild Bunch, and working with Alfred Hitchcock.  This book caused much stir when it first came out because Marcia Lucas was just as upset about Disney killing off Han Solo as I was for many political reasons.  That was just another example of how corporations that use processes to isolate individual contributions produce products in the world that are not as desired by the market.  In the case of the new Star Wars movies, the belief was that the film itself held all the magic and that a girl could replace a character like Han Solo to accommodate all kinds of woke rules wrapped around the axil of globalism. However, the Disney people never understood Star Wars, and this book had the opinions of someone who was very close to Star Wars, who was the key to their success initially. 

The book came out in 2021, right in the middle of the Covid monstrosity, and Biden had just been inserted into the White House, so I wasn’t in the mood to think about movies.  But I promised myself that if Trump returned to the White House, I’d get the book, take a bit of a vacation, and allow myself to think about some fun things.  For me, these are some of the most fun things, and they show how entertainment impacts culture as a whole.  And when it comes to those movies, Indiana Jones and Star Wars, few people have put together the kind of hits as filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.  The corporate belief is that just anybody can make a good movie or a good anything if only enough money is spent on the project, and in film, typically, the industry attracts all the same kind of sharks looking for an easy dollar as Wall Street does.  But few of them, if anybody, understands what makes hits and misses in the marketplace.  I have always wondered why George Lucas was so good from 1975 to 1982.  After that period, George Lucas wasn’t very good at all.  He may have been interesting, but he had lost his touch, and I always thought it probably had something to do with his wife, Marcia. 

There were two good Star Wars movies, and then everything fell off the rails with Return of the Jedi.  The movies were self-funded and only distributed through 20th Century Fox.  George Lucas hated corporate filmmaking; he wanted to make independent films from a family-driven company.  This allowed someone like the film editor, his wife, Marcia Lucas, to put her personal touches all over those early movies, which were key to their successes.  Something Disney and all its resources today don’t have is that personal touch.  During Return of the Jedi, Marcia and George divorced, and she ran off with the stained glass window guy working on their Skywalker Ranch.  That sounds kind of cheap and stupid, but George Lucas was working hard at the time to maintain his independence from the studio system, so he was putting all the pressure on himself.  This is another reason why those family-made movies were so good.  It wasn’t the board of directors or BlackRock assets making the decisions; it was George Lucas.  But it drove a wedge between him and his wife, and he never recovered.  Neither did she.  They should have stuck it out, but that’s history now, and the results tell quite a story.  Because she worked with her husband, Marcia knew how to get the best out of the coverage shots he provided as a director and could make a story pop on the screen that resonated with audiences.  You have to be an excellent person to produce good work, which gets lost in all corporations: those individual contributions.  For instance, if SpaceX lost Elon Musk, the company would fail quickly.  We always see it in sports: a star player carries a franchise.  As the saying goes, there is no “I” in team, but there is in win.  Teams are not values, they are places where people can hide so they don’t have to deal with the pressure of taking on too much responsibility.

One time, when the character of Indiana Jones was being created, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas designed the character before principal photography, and they were all talking about giving Indiana Jones some flaws that the audience could relate to, such as making him smoke and drink too much.  But as she often did with many of those early Lucasfilm movies, Marcia stepped in and gave her opinion that was critical to the effort’s success.  Keep in mind that these three moviemakers were some of the best of the best in the business. But it took George Lucas’ wife to point out the obvious.  She told them this was a kid’s movie and they couldn’t have Indiana Jones drinking and smoking.  He’ll lose all his charm, which they didn’t understand then.  But George listened to his wife, as usual, and the character became one of the most beloved in all movie history.  They are still trying to make money off Indiana Jones, with Disney running the studio.  But they don’t understand the character because they don’t have someone like Marcia Lucas in the editing room polishing everything up.  They have access to tens of thousands of talented filmmaking types, but very few understand the subtlety of success and failure.  Without question, Marcia Lucas, as a high-quality individual, made those early movies better.  She also made Lucas, Spielberg, and Harrison Ford better.  Better than any of them would ever be again once she was no longer a part of their lives.  After the divorce, it went all downhill from there.  They still made good movies, but they had all lost their touch, never to duplicate it again.  And no matter what business we’re talking about, that same kind of ratio applies.  Corporations often don’t get it; they mimic what made them great and hope nobody notices.  But to become great in the first place, there is always some charismatic individual, or a collection of them, who come together and make magic happen.  And without those individuals, no process in the world can promise success, purposefully or by accident.  Family-owned businesses are some of the best ways to achieve that success, and Lucasfilm was a family-owned business in those early days.  Once they became a corporate conglomerate, they could no longer make magic, and the brands they were associated with died in the court of public opinion.

Brazilian Communists Attack Jair Bolsonaro and 36 Others: The common strategy of leftists throwing their political rivals in jail and using election fraud to gain and keep power

While we have been celebrating the election of Trump, there is still a lot going on in the world that has significant problems, and it indicates that this fight is very much global and far from over.  We may have taken a stand against the tide of international communism, but it’s still very much a problem, as we saw the evidence of in Brazil with the phony indictments of Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others accused by the newly put in place communist government there of inciting a coup de tat against the official government, as indicated by the Federal Police in a 884-page report—(that’s why we can never allow police states to have too much power).  Bolsonaro is known worldwide as the Brazilian version of Trump, and the playbook they are using against him is essentially the same as the lawfare that was applied to Trump in the United States.  Now Trump, because we essentially have a Constitution that limits the power of government, was able to essentially beat the charges in America one essential element, and by a very narrow margin, by limiting election fraud in 2024.  And only that because Trump’s lead was too big to rig.  However, as we saw in many House and Senate races in the weeks after the election, the slow trickle of ballot counting of illegal voters continued to keep the margin of victory in those two houses of Congress to a minimum.  The seat gains could have been and should have been, much greater.  But globalism is still a problem everywhere, especially in states that don’t have control of the voting machines and have loose election laws that allow for cheating with a lack of voter ID.  In places like Brazil, the global communist mob is essentially the ones who are counting the ballots, so they removed Bolsonaro after the last election after they tried to stab him to death in public.  And now, because the polling shows that at the next election in Brazil, Bolsonaro will win easily, they are accusing him of all the same kinds of things they did to Trump, hoping to control the elements of the next election by essentially putting their political rival in jail. 

Don’t forget that to throw Bolsonaro out of office; they brought Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva out of jail to run as the communist representative.  All this action against Bolsonaro occurred right after a visit from Xi Jinping with Lula, where they discussed the future of Brazil and the need for them to suppress the populist movement rocking the world.  Next door in Argentina, they recently elected Javier Gerardo Milei, who has become another kind of wild man Trump, and he is reforming the country quickly with their version of MAGA, and it has global markets in a tailspin.  So there is an urgency for these global communists, who are led by centralized banking and the influence of the World Economic Forum, using the United Nations as their mask, to stop the bleeding.  The world doesn’t want communism, and it’s being rejected everywhere.  And their typical strategy is now evident for all to see.  If Trump didn’t have the American due process system of rights in the Constitution and enough free speech to dramatically force election fraud underground, he would be facing right now hundreds of years in prison for the made-up January 6th insurrection of 2021.  It was made up because it was heavily inspired by internal insurgents to provoke a mob of already angry protestors who were upset to see Trump go from his first term.  Trump wisely played by the rules and didn’t try to hold on to power through force, even though it was apparent what was happening.  Because he played the game the right way, and the people jailed for January 6th were so dramatically abused, people showed up and voted overwhelmingly, making it too big for the communists to rig, and they lost the general election.  But they did steal away several Senate seats and seats in the House, giving Republicans a very slim majority. 

That same game of election fraud goes on worldwide, and it’s how many of these South American countries have gained and held power.  From what we have learned now, we should never have voting machines connected to the internet in any fashion.  If we aren’t counting paper ballots from one day of voting by a person with a photo ID, we aren’t trying to secure our elections from fraudulent activity.  And for America, a very narrow window has opened to allow us to take back our country from this silent menace of global communism, and China is the face of that movement.  But don’t get lost in all the fancy utensils; the World Economic Forum is behind most of these global insurrections as they prop up the effort through finance.  That is the glue that holds global communism together, and it’s the real fight we are all involved in, whether or not we like it.  What is happening to Bolsonaro and the innocent people of Brazil, in general, is part of the communist playbook of unrestricted warfare.  They don’t care how it gets done so long as it does.  They mean to capture the means of self-expression to advance communism in every way possible, from free speech to elections.  And they don’t care if people’s feelings are hurt.  They have been performing a global insurrection to overthrow all forms of privately held capitalism and to replace it with centralized control of the United Nations as socialists like Antonio Guterres oversee it.  All roads to this behavior lead back to the work of Karl Marx.  Everything on the political left is rooted in Marxism.

Bolsonaro is supposed to attend Trump’s inauguration, and the pressure Trump is about to apply to the world may destroy the fingers of the Deep State that operates everywhere in the background again, controlled by international finance that wants communism as a stable means of protecting their investments from the human sentiment of personal fulfillment.  But because of these indictments, he’ll unlikely be able to attend.  I think the action in Brazil will be similar to what it was in the United States; people will show up overwhelmingly in the next election to elect Bolsonaro.  They picked him the last time, but it was only in certain areas where Lula pulled ahead in the aftermath to win the election, just as was done to Trump in 2020.  But because Trump won, the globalists are desperate, and they know the populist movement is coming for them, and people have a right to it.  The rights of individuals worldwide have not yet been established as they have been in the United States.  And because of that assumption, people did fight back peacefully with an election.  And if the election didn’t work, it was poised to get bloody.  And the globalists have lost their ground in America, even if they are still a big problem.  They will continue to be for quite some time.  But at least it has been established that they don’t have a right to our national sovereignty.  Just as they don’t in Brazil.  So, electing Trump is only part of the puzzle.  There is a lot more work to do.   We can’t let Bolsonaro be put in jail so that the communist forces there can stay in power.  They have to be destroyed, just as China must be destroyed as a communist power and asset to the World Economic Forum’s shadow government of manipulators from the mountains of Davos, pulling the strings of international finance.  Brazil will have its day to inspire a MAGA movement globally, but first, we have to see things as they are and support Bolsonaro in Brazil for the crimes that are being committed against him, to keep communism in power, against the wishes of people who had an election stolen from them the first time.

The Archaeology of Space: A lot of minds need to be shattered

With the same kind of vivacious denials, the narrative of human civilization is as edited and denied as the election fraud of 2020, and for all the same reasons.  The truth, which is being uncovered quickly through decentralized media and studies in these matters that exceeds traditional scholarship, is that for many tens of thousands of years, a global race of very tall people worshipped the stars and had very advanced understandings of planetary movement.  They were hinted at in the Bible as that wonderful collection of documents gives us a hint into a past that very little evidence survived due to the  amount of time that we are talking about.  We have all over the earth, which can be seen on Netflix now with Graham Hancock’s Apocalypse series some of the emerging evidence, the obvious hints at a very ancient past.  But, the narrative, largely for continued control over earth’s populations has been to deny all this aggressively.  Which is why the election of 2024 was so important, and why the current established order has to collapse and be destroyed, essentially.  Because the fight has been to hide a lot of things from the past and once we get out into space as human beings, routinely, and we open up archaeological study that extends to other planets, we are going to find out a lot more soul-shattering details about our place in the universe than what that Netflix show, Ancient Apocalypse has shown.  But it’s a reality we have to face and its going to happen very quickly over the next couple of years.

As Graham Hancock talked about his Ancient Apocalypse Netflix series, which has a lot of faces melting, on the Joe Rogan Experience he mentioned that during the filming he was banned from the Cahokia Mounds Park just outside of St. Louis, for the same reasons that he was banned from Serpent Mound during the previous season.  What Graham was proposing was that the Cahokia complex was much more like ancient Mesopotamia, and the Aztecs and Mayans than some hunter and gatherer Indians who were peaceful and built a few mounds to worship the sun.  I actually have some very direct experience with this phenomena that I was involved in a long time before Graham Hancock became famous for his journalism into these matters.  Way back in 1997 after the Titanic was doing great movie business my brother lived in Los Angeles and a bunch of investors wanted to make a movie of their own and get in on the Hollywood fun.  So I wrote a script on an idea I had called The Lost Cannibals of Cahokia, which was an outrageous adventure story that was a crossover between the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Indiana Jones adventures.  And when I turned it in to the agents and the Wilshire Blvd producers and money people, their faces melted by how violent and outrageous it was.  And at some point about a decade of shopping the script around, several really big names in entertainment were wanting to partner up to get the movie made. But the real heart of the problem with the script was that at the core of it I had explored the cause of the demise of the Cahokian culture, and all cultures for that matter, which is a theme I explore in everything I do.  And it didn’t make people very happy, to say the least.  My script went on to win several awards at various film festivals and was seen by a lot of people who really liked it.  But they couldn’t get their minds around the central premise which attacked directly assumptions about humanity that were sacred cows.  I was told that if I wanted to make the movie that we could do all the horror and adventure elements, but that we’d have to rework the central premise.  And I was offered a lot of money for it, in the millions of dollars.  But I shelved it for a later day because my favorite parts of the story were the things they wanted to throw out.  And I decided to put my attention more into political matters because the world wasn’t quite ready for the things I was interested in.

So I understood why so many people were upset over Graham Hancock’s proposals about Cahokia, and many sites along the ancient Mississippi River, where its obvious there was a very established culture during the Archaic period and that they were trading with South America, establishing the settlement at Easter Island, and all through the Polynesian Islands.  And that many of these cultures were considered advanced during the last Ice Age.  There is a vast conspiracy that is obsessed with keeping human beings from learning too much about their past beyond what the Bible discusses.  But the hints are everywhere and being talked about much more now, especially with Trump returning to office and dismantaling a lot of the out-of-date organizations that have been suppressing this information for thousands of years.  It’s not hard to see how and why, considering that Stonehenge is not that old and in a few thousand more years, there won’t be much left of it through the natural erosion process.  That is the same issue with the many pyramids around the world that date back just 3000 to 5000 BC.  The evidence at Gobekli Tepe for instance was buried purposely in Turkey and uncovered only to find that it is over 11,000 years old.  So by being buried, it preserved the site from erosive elements leaving us all to wonder just how much evidence from the past has been eroded away. 

Well, we’re going to find out, and with SpaceX’s Starship producing every 8 hours a new ship to go into space, we will quickly moved to a space economy during Trump’s next term.  And this is not just current politics, but something we have been moving toward since the days of Biblical reporting, even the central heart of the destruction of the Library at Qumran and the standoff with the Romans at Masada.  Governments have been hiding this issue from the public to maintain control over populations until essentially this century.  And now the lid is being blown off that long held secret.  And we’re going to get to the moon and Mars, and to the moons around Jupiter and Saturn and we’re going to find out that our history goes back much further than just colonies on Earth.  And many of our mythologies and assumptions are going to be shattered, and they need to be.  I have watched that process myself just over some of the sites on earth, and among people who were very smart and very rich and their faces melted over any suggestion of something happening beyond the accepted norms.  But we have to get ourselves ready because space archaeology will become an important field, and much of what has been suppressed as evidence on earth will no longer be able to be suppressed.  And we are going to learn a lot about ourselves, at a pace of change that will be astonishing.  I saw many years ago that this had to happen.  I was surprised by it when I saw how violent it made people just based on my script which many were involved with for the money it could have made.  But for me, it was much more personal, and important.  And ultimately, a sign of things to come.

The Best Way to Show How Useless You Are, Work From Home: Ahead of D.O.G.E, it would be great if federal employees just resigned by the hundreds of thousands

There is no better way to show how useless you are than not being at work and nobody missing you.  And ahead of Trump becoming president and his staff moving into their positions, federal employees are threatening in mass to resign.  Around 2.3 million federal workers in roughly 24 civilian agencies employ about 98% of that number.  Just over half, 1.2 million, work in jobs that require them to be fully present. The remaining 1.1 million are eligible for remote work, or what they are calling “telework.”  Of those, around 228,000 are in remote positions and are not expected to work in person.  Of the remainder of those 1.1 million, they spend only 61% of their working hours at an office, meaning they report for work only sporadically during a work week. And for anybody working in a job that does not require you to be fully present or that you are off a lot, you only prove that your employer is wasting money on you because they have learned to function without you.  COVID and the work-from-home policies that came with it were some of the dumbest ideas in the history of the world and were a prequel to the concept of just giving everyone a universal wage just for existing, as the attempt was to redefine what productivity meant to an economic culture.  And now, even three years later, many of these federal employees, and many who work with government contracts at large companies, still believe that they can work from home doing a few Teams calls with people and to call that work.  Behind that lunacy is this assumption that we can get to a zero-emission world if people just stopped coming to work and stayed in their homes. The government would pay you to do a job they created without any value on a spreadsheet.  It was always a dumb idea.

Darryl Parks and I, from WLW radio back when he was the guy who ran the whole place, used to talk about this on air all the time: federal employees were useless and made way too much money for doing too little.  Most of them belong to labor unions. Everyone remembers the protests in 2012 when Senate Bill 5 in Ohio was put forth that would strip any government worker from belonging to a labor union and impose collective bargaining on taxpayers who had to pay the bill.  All government jobs created are essentially a tax.  They have created positions that only serve the growth of government, which often works against taxpayer interests.  Public school teachers were some of the worst back then, demanding extraordinary amounts of money for essentially working only 6 or 7 hours a day and having off all summer.  The anger that came from the idea of stripping government workers of their ability to join a labor union didn’t go over well politically, and many Republicans lost their way during the outrage.  And I was in the thick of it; I received a lot of radical union harassment ranging from death threats to open conflict everywhere I went publicly.  I was the face of the effort in many ways because I was on WLW radio all the time talking about it, which directed a lot of anger in my direction.  For which I have no regrets.  It got bad at times, and a lot of people got hurt. You would have thought they’d learn their lesson.  But 8 years later, when Covid came along, all they did was justify everything I said about them.  When they had a chance to shut down schools, attempt to keep people from attending church, and use the virus to stay home from work perpetually and still get paid, they proved how useless I had been saying they were all along.  And it was a redeeming moment that many people noticed and suddenly wanted to do something about. 

Since COVID-19, people who live everyday lives and don’t work for a lazy, bloated government getting paid too much money for doing too little decided they didn’t like this arrangement.  Federal employees typically made 30% more than regular workers, and voters were unhappy about it.  They might have listened to me back in 2012 when Darryl and I spent all those Saturdays talking about how dumb it was to have all those government workers charging too much against the taxpayers for useless jobs.  But most voters weren’t ready to do anything about it.  At the time, they thought it was a good gig if someone could get it, a federal job that was overpaid and didn’t require much performance.  So I was in the minority back then, along with other Tea Party-minded people.  But time proved our arguments extremely valid, and all the violence leading up to Covid was much warranted.  I had to hurt many people for a not-very-good reason just because there was a belief that collective bargaining had a right to overrule individual opinions.  And that if everyone didn’t just shut up and put up with their radical labor union mentality, they had a right to force you to think what they wanted you to think.  Well, that didn’t work out very well, and many of them who engaged in such violence learned the hard way what a bad idea it was to take that position.  But COVID only washed away their arguments and forced the masses of society to see just how dumb and worthless these federal positions were.

I’ve been saying during every government shutdown to call the bluff of federal employees who are always willing to strike if they don’t get to extort trillions of dollars from a budget that is entirely out of control.  Nobody will miss those workers if we shut down the government.  But politicians would get weak-kneed just as they did with SB5.  However, with the work-from-home policies from COVID-19 and the federal employees still working from home all this time later, people now see the truth, and politicians are starting to smell the roses.  If you are working in a job where you don’t physically have to be at the office talking to other people, you are not working in a real job, and you can and should be removed from the payroll.  A job is not a right, it’s a privilege, and usually, the people who provide the pay for those services are getting screwed over if the employee they are paying for doesn’t respect the job enough to be in an office working hard for the contents of that position.  But when it comes to the general federal workplace, we have too many people doing too little.  And the best thing they could do ahead of the efforts of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, D.O.G.E, is to quit.  Nobody will miss those workers.  When you work in a job where nobody misses you or knew you were ever there, you know you are working in a useless position.  And I think having millions of these workers suddenly unemployed would be great.  There are other things to do in an expanding economy.  And we don’t need to be paying people to work from home.  And if many of those people all simultaneously put in their resignations, nobody will miss them. They are proving once and for all that all the money we have spent on these federal employees was a waste of time and money all along.

Trading Government Jobs into Real Jobs: It will be stunning, but it should have happened a long time ago

First of all, most of the government jobs that have been created over a long period were not real jobs.  They were placeholders for administrations that wanted to look like they were creating jobs in the economy, such as the jobs reports we’ve seen over the last several years with the Biden administration.  But they weren’t real jobs driven by absolute value, so they were always dangerous.  Most of the jobs in the federal government never should have been created and were always useless.  So the talk that is going on now with the new Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy effort with the Department of Government Efficiency, otherwise known as D.O.G.E., where entire departments will lose their jobs, is a task we should have been utilizing for a long time.  Aside from saving a lot of taxpayer money, one primary reason for doing it is creating actual value jobs rather than placeholders.  For instance, 1.3 million federal workers are currently approved for telework, according to the Office of Personnel Management.  Only six percent of federal workers are working full-time in their offices.  Thirty percent are fully remote.  Suppose you are a government employee working from home in any capacity. In that case, you aren’t working hard enough for a value-driven job, and your position needs to be eliminated for lack of effectiveness.  There is no such thing in my mind as “work from home.”  I call that a vacation.  If you are not out there talking to people and driving work toward some objective, you aren’t working.  You are just talking.  In the United States, there is about to be a massive economic boom, and we need all the workers we can get to fill actual roles.  I also don’t define a work week as 40 hours or 5 days a week.  The government does not have the correct demands on their employees to fulfill the needs of the top economy in the world, and it shows.  And that has to come to an end. 

One of the reasons we have stagnation in our economy is that we have too many people working too few hours in jobs that mean next to nothing.  And when you study the amount of money that flows through Washington D.C. to prop up fake jobs that do nothing but give people a paycheck because there are no actual demands for the services those jobs provide, it’s no wonder why things in life take as long as they do.  The government is inefficient and has no desire to be otherwise or to justify their jobs through competition, and in the wake of all that, it has become a real weight on the American economy. Too few people are chasing real meaningful employment options and, instead, are pushing for a universal wage mentality where people are paid just to exist, which has really ballooned with the post-Covid stay-at-home culture.  It was always a dumb idea and would need to be reformed at some point in time.  The system was so abused that not cleaning and fixing the house would result in massive layoffs by the millions.  And what are those people going to do?  The job reports for a while will be very negative because all this time, they have been propped up by phony statistics justifying phony needs.  But as a good measure, if you work less than 6 hours per day, you aren’t working a real job that can be replaced and should be replaced by a real job that works much more.  Generally, it would be best to work a job where people scream for you to work more than 40 hours per week.  If you aren’t, whether in the public sector or private, you should be looking for a job that needs you more.  Not one that pays you to be a slot on a spreadsheet to show justification for a government office. 

I would say I have vast experience with this topic.  Recently, while I was a grand jury foreman, I spent much of the summer of 2024 at the courthouse every day, and I was stunned at how many good people were seriously under-employed.  No wonder many people want a government job; those jobs pay too much for insufficient work.  And they aren’t driven by any efficiency measure.  While I was in court all those days, the courthouse of Hamilton, Ohio, was very active from 9 AM until lunchtime.  Then, the place started clearing out, and the parking garage emptied.  For everyone, this was a typical day of work.  For me, it was a lunch break.  I typically work at least 10 hours per day on something.  Often, I put in 20-hour days that last all around the clock.  I sleep when I can, but the work comes first.  So, this court culture of government workers was stunning because I usually avoid those kinds of people.  I wouldn’t say that they were lazy.  But their expectations of employment were way off.  It is not even close to what reality demands of an employed position. There were very few people working from 9 to 4 PM.  And indeed, nobody was working more than that, which should have been considered normal.  The actual crime is that these government positions drag down the expectations for private sector work where the real need for one employee to do one position should exceed a 12-hour workday.  The labor movement in America, driven by a global communist movement, has impacted productivity in detrimental ways, and the most apparent jobs are government workers who aren’t realistically in the ballpark. 

There are around 168 million workers in America as of September of 2024 to maintain a 19 trillion dollar GDP.  To pay off the 35 trillion dollars in debt we have now, we need an economic expansion of at least double that, perhaps to triple that.  And we can do it with a combination of things, starting with the energy sector, to export energy to the world by stopping the war against fossil fuels.  That is the quickest way to ignite cash back into our economic system, which has been artificially suppressed.  Then there is the upcoming space economy that is worth trillions on its own, and all these jobs will need employees to manage them.  So we need more workers than that 168 million people to expand the economy, and we don’t need a bunch of slugs wasting their lives on a government job, working from their living rooms, feeding their cats.  Government employment must become private sector-driven toward real economic growth, not fake government statistics.  Much of that gap will come from robotics and artificial intelligence, which will help expand the amount of work we can do.  But humans in jobs aren’t going away anytime soon.  Likely, not in this century.  So we need to switch government jobs into real performing jobs in the private sector quickly and stunningly over the next two years of Trump’s next term.  And it will be shocking to many.  But remember that many of those jobs should have never been created by the government.  Many lazy people will lose jobs that weren’t that important, selling their expensive homes in the suburbs of Washington D.C. for a while before they learn to be productive with a real job.  But that whole mess should have never been propped up, and the actual value suppressed under phony jobs reports that were only lines on a spreadsheet to make people feel good about essentially nothing.  And in the new economy of tomorrow, we need to turn nothing into something quickly.

The Downfall of the Credentialed Class: When people can’t purchase their value to society, and have to earn it

While it’s true, this is a fight that has just begun to be fought, and things are far from over. The truth is, something very specific died on election night in 2024.  It is a problem that goes back to the first human civilizations on earth, to Mesopotamia, and their social structure, which has rebelled for over 5000 years.  It is the long fight between personal initiative and sacrifice to great universal forces.  Along the way, many power brokers have sought self-importance by being the broker between life and eternity.  There was always a class of people who stood between daily life and a relationship with the eternal and claimed to interpret what reality was based on by their power-acquiring perspective.  Trump’s first term was a threat demanded by free people, even to conceive the concept of abandoning those power brokers because the American Constitution dared to give a country of people that kind of power.  Or rather, to not give the government the assumption of that power.  But we have never really understood the Constitution.  I tasted this valiant effort a few years into Biden’s time in the White House when I took my family to visit Mt. Rushmore.  I had wanted to do it for a very long time, and we just decided to get away from Biden’s world and get out into the deserts and mountains of the Wild West.  And we made a family pilgrimage to Mt. Rushmore, which is something I will never forget; I’m glad we did it.  It was hard to do with so many people from my family.  I had read the Constitution many times and been a part of Tea Party groups for over a decade, but it was really at Mt. Rushmore where it all came together for me. 

The difference between the right and left and who should rule society in general.

What died on Election Night 2024 was the credentialed class, those people who believe in life that performance is not as important as purchased merit.  The kind of people who think they can buy their way to success in life, whether buying a college education at a particular school and that alone would give value to the person attending.  Or even buying a new set of golf clubs, where purchasing the items would be enough to be accepted into peer groups without being good at the game.  The Kamala Harris campaign team started their run for the presidency in the summer of 2024, and over four months, they wasted over a billion dollars of campaign donations believing that the merits of running for President of the United States could be purchased, not earned which ended up being the ultimate failure of their campaign.  And buzzing in the background, the anxiety for the government efficiency group being headed up by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy is the shattering of the belief that a credentialed class of people would continue to rule over humanity.  Those who bought a college degree and used it to buy their way into a government job that paid well, had lots of time off, and didn’t require anybody to do anything productive were going to be the continued way that humans did business, have had their realities shattered.  But if they had been paying attention, they would have known what I did and what was displayed at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota.  I consider it one of the best holy pilgrimages I’ve ever taken, and it was a clear hint into the results of the 2024 election. 

Trump ran a campaign for a fraction of the cost that the Kamala team spent, and that goes along the line of credentialed belief that the political left has built their entire party around, which is the essential debate between the Hebrew people and the people of Canaan.  Did the Canaanites have a right to exist as indigenous people of that land or be driven away by the chosen people, the Hebrews, just because God freed them from slavery in Egypt and decided to give them the land that is still under dispute by all the same kinds of people?  How could people earn land and be given it, as the credentialed types ask, because to earn something, you have to have an asserted value that is not shared by some communist view of the world, where everyone owns everything and to gain power in a culture like that you have to be given by that society a credential?  And the way things have been, if you bought a credential and threw money at the system, whether it be a college education or the political gatekeepers in the media, you would be given power.  You didn’t have to earn it.  But that was always wrong; America was designed to free people of a credentialed class, even though, at the time, Founding Fathers like George Washington were creations of a credentialed class.  They could at least conceive what abandoning that long-held belief would look like and fought it out into a Constitution and Bill of Rights, which was quite an extraordinary document.  And yes, it has taken everyone another 250 years to figure it out, and the presidency of Barack Obama shook everyone to their foundations enough to put Trump in office as a direct response. 

Trump won the election for many reasons, most of which was the freedom to vote by a people who wanted to self-govern and not support a credentialed class of people who would otherwise rule over them as overlords.  The Kamala Harris people altogether and arrogantly ignored any notion of winning elections other than control by a credentialed class being given power rather than earning it.  Trump provided a brand from his Trump Organization that professed personal value and effort and to enjoy the finer things in life by working personally hard and smart individually.  When Trump sells luxury, it’s an individual experience, not a collective one.  And anybody who worked hard would have a shot at the good things in life, rather than a society of overseers who come into power through credentials they purchased but didn’t earn through merit.  And the Kamala people never planned to earn anything.  They spent money like a drunken sailor on everything to buy the presidency and never thought for a second that they had to earn that right.  And now that it has blown up in their face, they fear the same rules will apply everywhere, in every job, in every layer of society for which they have built their lives.  And my answer to them is that it was always a house of cards, even though humans have been doing it for a very long time.  It took America to come up with the idea of running their society without credentials but by merit.  And it took even longer to recognize what a merit-based society looked like, which was captured artistically at Mt. Rushmore by not only the sculpted faces but the location and story of their creation, from Washington to Jefferson, Lincoln to Roosevelt, these were presidents representing an extended period, and each specifically worked to free people from the chains of a credentialed class, and to set America loose based on personal merit and the treasures that come from such a pursuit.  And Trump was able to free people most of all by taking on the credentialled class and beating them after they threw everything they had at him, yet still lost.  Because ultimately, in America, people pick their government and their representatives.  They don’t rule them.  People select them, a concept that the credentialled class never understood, nor that they could do anything to stop people from wanting a divorce from those personal limitations.  They thought they could hide their lazy natures and their lack of developed skills from the public with the mask of credentialed value and that they wouldn’t be made into fools by people better than them, who outperformed them at every juncture.  But America was designed to create competition and to allow the best person to win, and to reject credentials and fuel innovation with personal input, removing those barriers for personal growth in order to perpetuate the human race in ways not yet realized but perpetually yearned for since the first person ever born took their very first breath.

Matt Gaetz is an Excellent Pick for Attorney General: People can have their faces melt all they want, but justice is coming–it has to

First of all, I think Matt Gaetz is an excellent pick for Attorney General.  He has proven to be one of the few in elected office who is fearless and ready to do the right thing for the sake of it in Washington, D.C.  To many, that makes him a joke, because he is an uncompromising figure.  This sex scandal talk is just an attempt to paint him with some controversy in having a relationship with an underaged girl; we are dealing with a Biden administration where gay people had sex and filmed it in government buildings.  Outrage is a false alarm with that Beltway culture.  First of all, I don’t believe the accusation; it is similar to the kind of high school politics that Trump has been a victim of, where witnesses lie entirely about the content in an attempt to drive a national narrative.  People have seen enough now to know how to distinguish that kind of thing.  People lost faith in politicians upholding some moral standards a long time ago; what they want now is people who will at least do the job they were elected for, and Matt Gaetz has certainly shown that he is.  Because of Gaetz, Speaker McCarthy was removed, and Speaker Johnson is there now.  But how would Matt Gaetz be any less severe than the radical Eric Holder and the more recent lunatic Merrick Garland?  The humor is that there are some standards to apply that would make Matt Gaetz appear like a fringe candidate for the highest office of the Department of Justice.  To my eyes, Matt Gaetz is one of the few who have committed to the rule of law, which is why many of those Beltway types have been trying to get rid of him from the start.  No, I think Matt Gaetz is a great pick and shows a deep commitment to fixing the Department of Justice from its present state, a weaponized organization that is one of America’s greatest present domestic enemies.  People have arrived at that conclusion based on what they have seen. 

I think picking Matt Gaetz is a negotiating move.  That doesn’t mean that Trump doesn’t want him, but he might want to use Gaetz to draw fire while some of his other picks benefit from less scrutiny.   As Attorney General, Matt Gaetz is the most controversial of all Trump’s picks for his cabinet.  So I could see trading Gaetz out later for a more conventional or less controversial pick, such as Mike Davis of The Article III Project. The message here is that a member of the WarRoom podcast will be the Attorney General because many wrongs must be corrected.  The Department of Justice has been very disreputable, and it’s time for all that to change.  Don’t forget what the Department of Justice under Biden did to their political enemies.  Much of that wrath was thrown in the direction of Trump’s most trusted supporters, his former White House members, who formed the WarRoom during his last year in office to help with his re-election.  Several of them were thrown in jail by Merrick Garland, and Trump himself was harassed ruthlessly.  Incredibly, he survived, given the amount of power and unchecked menace that the Merrick Garland Department of Justice utilized even up to this last election.  And what’s worse, so many Republicans sat by and allowed it all to happen, hoping that Trump and his team would be gone for good.  We still have the utterly unconstitutional holding of the January 6th prisoners from 2021 to deal with.  There is quite a mess to clean up; it will take a personality like Gaetz.  And perhaps, the way Trump thinks, people will be so outraged by Gaetz that they’d be happy to get Mike Allen, who may not be as controversial on paper because fewer people know him, but he’s every bit as committed to the rule of law and the protection of that standard under the Constitution.

But there is no going back to normal for the Beltway culture, where they commit significant crimes and then sweep them under the rug to be protected by favors and nonsense. An Attorney General who keeps the investigations out of Washington D.C. and then will act to destroy any challengers to their easy money shake and bake system of international extortion and sinful enterprise.  It’s not a matter of revenge for Trump, but what did anybody expect?  Trump was let down by Jeff Sessions during his first term and then later by Bill Barr toward the end.  Trump has had a lot of time to think things over, eight years, and he will make this Attorney General position count.  It’s one of his most essential picks, and he won’t waste it on a typical Beltway politician.  So even if it turned out not to be Matt Gaetz, there are plenty of names just as good that Trump will put in that job.  The expectation is going to be complete reform because Trump and the people loyal most to him have suffered terribly under previous corrupt AGs.  People voted for this kind of change; they want control of the Department of Justice, not what they have seen from that position over the last several decades of vast disappointment. 

Yes, Matt Gaetz is a firebrand who runs a podcast by that same name.  His political brand is all fire and brimstone, the way that the WarRoom audience expects it.  And knowing the situation the way I do, Matt Gaetz would never trade away his ability to use that firebrand to do good in exchange for some sexual temptation.  Many other people in Washington, D.C., would, but that isn’t the kind of person that Matt Gaetz is. Instead, people hate him because they know what they have done themselves and are guilty of.  And they know they won’t survive if Matt Gaetz is the Attorney General.  Few people will, and that’s the way things need to be.  Actually, for those who have been counting, there are a lot of Democrats in Trump’s picks, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy, the kind of people that many people would squawk at previously as “liberals.”  And that would include Trump himself.  But Matt Gaetz is the red meat that makes putting up with all those liberals worth it and is part of the deal Trump has with his voters.  Trump might have softened up the Republican party with a bunch of converted Democrats to make the tent bigger and much more challenging to beat, winning the black and Latino voters.  But he is doing all that to get to this election cycle’s real meat and potatoes: controlling the Department of Justice and making the rule of law Great Again.  On that front, we have a target rich environment where corruption has been ruling the day.  And Trump has been a victim of it for more than eight years now.  And now it’s his time to fix it for good, and he won’t waste that pick again knowing what he does now.  And people can have their faces melt all they want.  But, they brought all this on themselves.  Having Matt Gaetz or another WarRoom personnel heading the Department of Justice is the point of winning the presidency, and people gave Trump a mandate that he will not throw away to preserve a system that is obviously out of control.  And there is no way to reform them now, only to get rid of them and prosecute them ruthlessly, as they have shown themselves to be if left unchecked.

Robert F. Kennedy Will Be Great As the HHS Secretary: Punishment for Covid has to happen

Why would anybody be surprised about Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy?  I’m doing a lot of “I told you so latelys” because it’s well deserved.  But I warned everyone about Covid before it hit, while it hit, and what had to happen in the aftermath.  A lot of people are guilty of murder and we had a government that clearly wasn’t representing us.  And they attacked the Trump administration by walking into his office and telling him he had to shut down the economy, or else he’d be responsible for millions of deaths.  And that action did cost lives, a lot of misery, and an election that gave us four years of illegal activity, where everything Joe Biden signed was wrong and unlawful.  And we’re supposed just to let it all go? No, I don’t think so.  Instead, we needed a regime change so we could address the issue, and the apparent defense by the bad guys was obviously to run out the clock on what they think is a statute of limitations protection on what was essentially the most explicit murder plot in the history of the world that was entirely motivated by power and greed.  All that was done has to be cleaned up at a minimum, but picking Robert F. Kennedy as the HHS Secretary is even more than that.  RFK wrote the book on this case, which I reviewed and discussed extensively.  The crime, of course, was that the gain of function of a SARS virus known to bats to make it transmissible and highly contagious was not an act of nature.  It was deliberate terrorism and Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates, along with a lot of other people, have their knowing hands all over it.  And someone has to pay for all that, we can’t just let it go.

Even if there wasn’t an RFK by a victorious Trump administration being put in place, Rand Paul isn’t done with this issue either.  He needed Republican control of the Senate and to eliminate the stonewalling Mitch McConnell, both of which just happened, to be in place to advance this cause.  Many senators have become very protective of big pharma, and they weren’t going to put those companies on the chopping block and hold them responsible for what they did in 2020.  Rand Paul is ready to prosecute the case, and the evidence is extensive.  This issue isn’t going away, folks.  And people are going to be hurt to learn just how badly compromised our government was during this period.  And as good as Trump ran a good campaign that vastly won the majority vote, prosecuting the government for its Covid creation and response to a global crisis they created, and the coup against Trump, that they used Covid to destroy human civilization was on the ballot.  People want their slice of pie on this one, and they’re going to get it.  It was never an option to let this whole thing go and anybody who thought they would get away with it was lying to themselves.  What the NIH and CDC did to the world must be managed and understood so that it can never happen again, and that means that people who work in those government agencies have to be accountable, and nobody set up the case better than Robert F. Kennedy in two of his books, The Real Anthony Fauci, and The Wuhan Cover-up. I think those are two of the most influential books written in this century, and everyone in government should read them in preparation for what is coming on that front. 

But the more significant issue, as if such a thing were possible, is dealing with the hijacking of our government by several corporations, specifically, in this case, Big Pharma.  Much of the media that we have now is funded by Big Pharma as well; Fox News is almost exclusively a giant Big Pharma ad, so, of course, they don’t want to see a disruption in their grip over our elected representatives, but how did you think all these politicians became rich in office?  They were purchased.  Many didn’t have two nickels to rub together with a dime in their pocket before they arrived as elected officials in Washington, D.C., and that culture needed to change from the start.  During Trump’s first term, he wanted to get out of funding the United Nations-controlled World Health Organization, which started all the COVID problems but continues to this day to attempt to hide progressive globalism behind health policy, and they have to be dealt with harshly.  And who better to take them on within the Trump administration than a person who likely knows the most about all these relationships and how destructive they have been?  Yes, elections have consequences, so we must fight every day to preserve as much of their integrity as possible to hear the will of the people and do what they want done.  Because of what happened to them with Covid, they overwhelmingly voted for Trump, who had said beforehand what he would do with Kennedy as a pick.  It’s not like Trump misrepresented himself.  The bad guys did bad things, and now they must be punished severely so that it never happens again.  And Big Pharma has to be removed from running our lives for their lazy profits. 

I’m certainly not an anti-corporation guy.  I love capitalism, and corporations are forced to be the best they can be through competition.  But that’s not what many of these corporations tied to our government are all about. Instead, they use the power of government to shield themselves from innovation and expectations of competition.  They use the power of government and regulation to destroy rivals.  And impose on the public such ridiculous proposals as mandated vaccines and horrendous deals of prosecution where these companies are not liable during our lifetimes for mistakes they have made.  And keep in mind that they are that overt about scandalous things. What do you think they are doing about stuff they never expect to get caught with, such as the poisoning of our water supply or cheap and accessible ingredients that make their margins better at the total cost of society?  Once you take a radical anti-human agenda and apply it to the government monitoring of our food supply, no wonder so many are detrimentally sick.  You can’t deal with health insurance costs while leaving a system preserved that purposely makes people ill and never gets better to fuel their demise for the profits of a lazy Pharma company.  I have also pointed out that cures for cancer are available right now, but this entire Pharma industry has no interest in that because they make money off giving people the medicine they don’t need for results that ultimately will destroy them.  And those parasitic companies have an entire profit portfolio that is built off the demise of people, not their continued health.  And until there is a significant shakeup, and I mean a MAJOR one, where lots of people are put in jail and even processed for capital murder, the correct changes to the entire system won’t be possible.  That’s why Robert F. Kennedy was the best man for the job, and the people voted for Trump to get that result.  So it has to happen.

We Just Had A Revolution, and Democrats Lost: Don’t cry about it now that justice must be enforced

You can hear it in my voice if you go back to the first videos of my Rumble account, watch my face, and study what I was saying.  Especially after January 6th, which I commented on right away before the sun was even up in the aftermath, I noted that many of the federal people at the Capitol were lucky more people didn’t get hurt.  I talked to many people about an open revolution in those cold, dark months of 2020 and 2021.  I told them to follow the rules of our republic because if you break the rules, you can’t use the rules to gain power again without significant violence as a contributor.  And I’m very proud of those statements because look where we are.  I was so upset about that election that my wife and I went into the desert of New Mexico and many other desolate places out West, and while I was out there, I wrote a book, which I finished in a snowstorm in Roswell, New Mexico.  It was a very dark time, but I preached peace to many people who were ready to pull the trigger, hoping to get to this day when Trump had a chance to get back in office.  I always saw the path, but I did wonder if the country would hold it together long enough to make it.  In many ways, because people held their cool, we were able to expose massive corruption, which we now have to deal with.  But to those Democrats who are now saying that they want a revolution in the streets to oppose President Trump, let me tell you, we already had that revolution, and it was Election Day.  We had to put up with what the Democrats did to us, which was terrible.  And what happens next is the only peaceful resolution.  Anything less would be open warfare against the Deep State, and they aren’t prepared for that.

That look on Joe Biden’s face when Trump returned to the White House was priceless.  The machine screwed over Biden himself, and he became a Trump supporter in the end.  So what we saw was a complete rejection of the globalist, Democrat party communist machine.  And Trump is doing precisely what he was elected to do: pick people for government positions that will do what the people want.  And they have every right; they always did.  I always said before you grab your guns, use every method available to avoid violence.  Vote and protect your vote, and see what happens before you turn to the streets to overthrow your government with violence.  Take back your government and get control of it.  And I said this to many thousands of people at a time when it didn’t look like we’d ever get another chance.  It wasn’t apparent that we’d ever get a chance at another election.  But we made it to the 2024 election, and the results were dominating; not only did we win the White House back, but also the House and Senate, along with the Judiciary.  And Republicans picked up more leadership positions nationwide, from state houses to governors.  The Democrat platform was rejected everywhere, so there was never a more boisterous mandate for revolution than what the 2024 election provided.  And if I were members of the Deep State and the Administrative State, I’d consider myself lucky that you still have your heads.  It’s fantastic that we live in a country of rule of law where such a thing is possible and that people who do such evil things can at least get an honest day in court instead of being shot in the head by a pack of angry voters who had their lives ruined by Democrat politics.  As they look at the Trump government picks, they should consider themselves lucky. 

Trump returning to the White House and sitting down with Biden, with the Bidens both smiling, was a very narrow tract of victory, and many things had to happen correctly to make it occur.  But I walked everyone through it, and now here we are, and it happened.  As Elon Musk says, this will be the most consequential revolution the world has ever seen.  Nobody has to get hurt, and you can see that Biden is quite well aware of how the chess game has played out.  The Obama terrorism lost, the globalists lost their control over the people of America, and they get a chance to at least have an honest day in court, whether or not they deserve it.  But letting everyone off the hook was never an option.  Slow-walking Trump’s agenda by the RINOs in the Senate and everywhere else isn’t an option.  They all must accept Trump as our representative and the value of the vote behind what put him back in power.  Or, engage in open warfare much worse than anything they saw on January 6th.  Many in the Deep State pushed and shoved people toward hopelessness, hoping to topple our country into chaos essentially to hide their crimes.  They were hoping for the downfall of our country so they would never have to pay for their crimes, much the way things went with the French Revolution, where their society fell apart, and they fell under the control of an emperor as a result.  Many in the American government wanted to see the same thing happen in America.  But we stuck with the power of the vote, and now we have the opportunity of many lifetimes.  And we’re going to use it to full effect.

And what the Democrats lost most was their ability to manipulate the public with bottom-dweller sentiment.  As I have said all along, if you keep Democrats from cheating, they can’t win.  Now that we’ve survived this revolutionary period, we can reform voter laws back to ID and paper ballots and cut the globalists out of the process.  And that will give us more House and Senate seats in 2026, furthering the majority.  People will like what Trump is doing, and it certainly won’t cost him power.  So don’t fear elections, embrace them.  Make them fair and honest and use them to avoid open warfare.  But don’t be stupid and expect people to have as much patience as they did in 2020.  That was a once in a millennia kind of thing.  People were agitated, and their tempers only cooled because Trump could operate an exiled government from his home in Florida while we sorted out all this other stuff.  But now that we have survived it, people want justifiable revenge, and anybody who wants to survive well into the future should give it to the people without holding back because justice has to happen on many fronts, and Trump, as our representative, was sent to the Executive Branch of our self-government to get control.  Not to yield power.  I am most proud of my role in keeping people from turning to violence when, in truth, they had every excuse to do so.  They didn’t take the bait, and now we live to see this extraordinary time.  But as far as discussing a revolution from Democrats.   People won’t tolerate the kind of crap we’ve seen for the last 8 years of open warfare from them against us.  The election map for 2024 has a lot more red than blue, so Democrats are a vast minority.  And people are no longer willing to give them the benefit of doubt.  And I would remind them that they should consider themselves lucky to remain alive.  Only in a tremendous constitutional republic like America can such bad people get a day in court, to be fair.  The bad guys are lucky that America is so friendly and just.  But still, the criminals have to pay for the many crimes they committed.  There is no forgiveness.
