00:00:12
Speaker 1: Well, take a look at that at four o'clock down a little bit in the dial. Looks like we're about eighty ninety points, a little lower Nasdaq. Nothing really across the board that's in ped Nassak, not much at all. A little interesting. Oil was up the buck fifty yesterdays up another dollar this morning backed off gold market. We didn't have the opening because Trump took the beginning of the show. But yesterday gold slid two hundred dollars announced we're forty five sixty bouncing back just to touch sixteen dollars a little bit. Crypto kind of holding its own. Bitcoin is kind of in a holding pattern. In eighty seven eight up a little bit. It's finding a real comfortable spot between eighty six and eighty nine, eighty six and eighty six. My gut feeling on crypto, I think bitcoin one of these days towards the end of year. Remember gold and silver have taken off, just gone apoplectic, straight up parabolic we call it, and then crypto kind of tailed off. So golden silver up seventy and one hundred percent the two of them, Cryptos even for the year for the year, so I think crypto's going to catch up at some point when no one's expecting it. All right, our next guest, first guest, Sheriff of Riverside County, California, was also running for governor. Happy to have Sheriff Chad Bianco with us. Sheriff, let's just jump right in. You we last time you're here, you had just bubbled out it. So what happened was Swallow. Last time we're here, Swallow had announced he wanted to run for governor on the Democrat side. And what that did was it took a little bit of the support for Katie Porter at the time, who was having a hard time of her own because she's an absolutely miserable person, and then people are realizing. But it also split that vote a little bit, and you bubbled up to the top of poles. Here we are a couple of weeks later. Tell us where the polls stand recently with you in California governor.
00:01:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the same. I think there was one poll that came out maybe a week after when I was on, and I think it was I had Steve and I at the top and two Republicans at the top, and I think Swallowa was number three. So it's really the polling here in California is showing that we're kind of done here. We're tired of the direction the way things have been going, and things are looking good for us. We're right where we want it to be. We know we're in the lead, we know we're on both parties. We're the camp to beat. So we're doing well going into the new year.
00:02:27
Speaker 1: In full disclosure, folks, I used to work with Steve Hilton. I know him, who's a friend. I do support a man who's law enforcement number one number two. You're thirty five years. Tell us a little bit more about your background with people. Should hear this?
00:02:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, has been thirty two years, and I've been the sheriff since twenty eighteen November twenty eighteen. Reelected in twenty twenty two. My next election is not until twenty twenty eight here, so I will be running as the sheriff. It's a large county here, two and a half million people. I've got forty five hundred little less than forty five hundred employees and a one point three billion dollar budget. I'll be the only current elected official running so far in this election and one reelection, and really, when you look back on my history, I'm exactly what California has been wanting, I think for a long time, an actual leader with integrity that they can trust that's going to do right by them instead of right by a party or right by a personal ambition or political ambition. So things are going really well here and we're very happy. We're just going to keep plugging along until we take this victory.
00:03:30
Speaker 1: And again, support you. I think you're the right man for the job. Help me figure this out, California people, voters, mentality politics. Kevin Newson wants to run for president right now, he's probably pulling at the top of the Democrats for a twenty twenty eight presidential candidate. How with the same failures that he's brought to California, whether it's mayor of San Francisco or governor of California recently, with all those failures, homelessness, whatever, how is he bubbling up to the top of the Democrats list for candadates for president. Yeah, you say, the people of California have had enough of it and it's time for a change, being a time for a conservative.
00:04:07
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:04:07
Speaker 2: So it's a very unique dynamic that we have here with him running for president, because in California, we all absolutely know he's a failure. We're suffering, we're victims of his absolute political failure and in him really carrying on that Democrat far left agenda that's been going on for really twenty years. But the thing that's different, and it's really really annoying here, is you have him going on social media, and you have him doing his podcast, and he talks about how great things are, and whoever's in his podcast, or ever whoever's doing the interview with him, they just let him say it, even though it's a blatant lie. And here in California, even the media, the media won't report on the negative things about Gavin Newsom. For instance, our own state government came out, our auditor's department, our auditor, California Auditor, came out with a scathing, scathing report listing nine California agencies, including the Governor's office, as high risk. And high risk means that you are ripe with fraud, waste, abuse, and serious lack of management and oversight. And that's our own government saying that our own government is absolutely failing so what's going on in Minnesota. It pails in comparison to what we have here in California and what we actually know, But the media won't report that, I think because Newsom is running for president and they want to do everything they can to prop him up a little bit.
00:05:37
Speaker 1: So I've lived in Florida for about five years now. I went to college here, I'm back here now. So California the highest tax state in the nation, maybe Hawaii, California certainly is the top two. Florida has no personal income tax. Here, we're running a positive budget surplus about three billion dollars, California running about an eighteen billion dollar deficit. How shere's my question. You're proposing eliminitting income tax. Is that right? And how are you going to do that with a state that's already running an eighteen billion dollar deficit with an income tax in place?
00:06:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's super, super easy, and this is the thing everybody wants to know, how are you going to do it? And then so everybody's so pessimistic, pessimistic because they think that government should be doing it if it was that easy. But the problem is they don't want to do it. So the reality of our government that we already know. Our own auditor controller is telling us the waste, fraud and abuse is we are the worst in the possible country. They don't know where twenty five billion dollars worth of homeless money went. They can't account for eighteen billion dollars of COVID money. They can't account for twenty billion dollars in each area of our state. How do you miss billions? I mean, if they said one hundred thousand dollars was missing and we don't know, that's okay, But how about billions? Where is that coming from? So that's number one. The waste of fraud in the abuse gets stopped. And it's easy because I'm the governor control the budget. It's not as hard as you're going to think. But here's the key. California is the biggest oil user in the country, and rightfully so, we're the biggest populated. We have the most planes, trains, automobiles, all of that good stuff. So we import eighty percent of our oil that we buy from other countries. If we were oil independent in our state, which we have more oil than any other state, that's a little unknown fact that anybody else doesn't. Most people don't know Alaska has more, but we're second to Alaska. And if we were oil independent in our state, that would completely fund state government. So it truly shows you that the environmental activists that really run our state. This progressive agenda of getting rid of oil, going to renewables and all of that garbage is seriously destroying our state and it's going to be very easy to get it back. And as much as I do like Florida, I'm telling you we'll be taking all of your residents once i'm governor, because we will be not only the greatest and you know, we have the greatest beaches, we have the greatest weather. It's seventy degrees here today, perfect little bit, it's even a little overcast. And we're now going to fix our government and have the best run government that we can possibly have in our country. So we're going to be attracting businesses and residents from all other states instead of what we have now, which is a mass exodus out of California.
00:08:22
Speaker 1: You know, it's another reason why I just I love what you're bringing. I love this idea of drilling more, drill, maybe drill, because it's really the oil is the lifeblood of an economy, and it certainly will fix a lot of budget deficits if you were allowed to, if the environmentalist lobby, you weren't in bed or I guess devoted to the environmentalist lobby, which democrats are, and if you can break that handcuff, so to speak, no pun intended, sheriff, Yeah, you could actually be probably run a budget surplus. We certainly would in America if we stopped buying foreign oil, We absolutely would. We buy half of our twenty million barrels a day oil from outside vendors, outside countries that frankly hate us. Very quickly, NGO, as you say, the homeless NGO situation, tell us about that very quickly, if you don't mind.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely so. Twenty five billion dollars over the last couple of years is completely gone. They have absolutely no idea where it went, any way of to track it. We know that there are hundreds, if not thousands and thousands of people that are making millions and millions of dollars off this homeless industrial complex. Where the government will give an NGO or a nonprofit five million dollars to help the homeless. They may help one, they may help five they may help none, and yet that money is gone. That money is spent off of administrative costs, off of salaries, all of those types of things. But then what we know now from our federal government investigation and what we're learning here in California, is that a little portion of that money gets siphoned off from the recipient and gets recycled back into the political campaigns of the demo prats who are putting it in the It's basically a big money laundering cycle, this homeless industrial complex that takes our taxpayer money. The lawmakers give it to the nonprofits, the nonprofits use it for themselves, and then take a portion back into the political campaigns to make sure that that money train keeps flowing. And that ends with me as the governor. There will not be another NGO or a nonprofit getting money for homeless until we actually verify that they're helping. And they absolutely must do one of three things. Three would be better. You have to have drug treatment, you have to have alcohol treatment, mental health treatment. And here's the kicker, you have to have both. We have to have live in facilities that treat not only drug and alcohol addiction, but mental health issues. Because right now there is absolutely nothing for those people, and the majority of them are experiencing mental health conditions because of their drug and alcohol addiction, and there is no treatment for them. There's no facility that will treat those people. So we will fix that. We will. There are the facilities out there, they just can't operate. They actually want to do a good job. And the reality what we have to get to is our government doesn't want to solve our homeless issue here or make it better because when they do that, money stops flowing. If you cut off the money because you fix the problem, then people aren't getting rich and people aren't getting elected again with money into their campaign coffers. So it's a huge deal here. We know exactly how to fix it, and we're going to hit the ground running when I take office and make sure we get these people the help that they need, because I'm telling you it is absolutely it should be embarrassing that the government is letting these people rotten their own skins, die in the sidewalk and we do nothing about it.
00:11:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yehm promised to fix the homeless population issue twenty years ago in San Francisco. Never did. So I got to do this because I had a call or call and ask about this. They love you, they love a conservative. They did point out something I didn't know, and I just would Yeah, I think you have to answer this. Maybe if it's not for me, it's gonna be from someone else. Twenty twenty, they said you during the George Floyd issue moment summer of whatever, that was love that you stood with Black Lives Matter, and actually Nelts, can you tell us what happened there?
00:12:18
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, So everybody has to realize that there is absolutely nothing in my life, in my past that I've said or done that would indicate anything of this. I've evolved over the last probably seven years as one of the nation's leading law enforcement leaders in the nation. Definitely in our state and my county one hundred percent. I am the law enforcement leader of this county. That could never happen if I knelt to a domestic terrorist organization that hate cops.
00:12:48
Speaker 1: So what we're.
00:12:49
Speaker 2: Seeing now is political theater. We're seeing the political nonsense that always happens when other candidates want to bring down someone else because of truly what they have to offer everyone. The reality of that time in our country was I was the first law enforcement leader that actually stood up to BLM and we eliminated from our city. We eliminated ten thousand of them from our city within an hour, and no one reported any injuries. We suffered no injuries from law enforcement. It was an overwhelming show of force that we removed them from our city. And here's the thing. They have never come back. But just to address your question now, with all of that said, because there are certain some of my opponents in this race want you to see a either very short clipping of a video or a snapshot picture that they're sending around that truly takes everything out of context of what exactly it was we had ordered them. I gave them the order, personally, gave them the order that they had twenty minutes to vacate the street or we would forcibly remove them. When that happened, one of the leaders of that organization, that's who I was talking to, He asked me if he could pray for my deputies, and he asked me if I would pray with him. I said yes. He asked other people around him to pray. He asked if deputies could pray. Some of them did, some of them didn't. And that's what happened. He actually prayed for the safety of my deputies and then they dispersed. But all you see is a picture, a snapshot picture of a camera, and you see it. You see selected edited version, not maybe not edited, but very cut versions of that video.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: And it's a typical liberal or an opponent, lack of context. Take a clip, don't show the context. Listen. I accept that, I accept that. I wish it didn't happen, to be honest with you, but I think I still believe you are the right person for that job. And look, you know, whatever is a mistake or not what people have a right to fix some mistakes, so to speak. And I'm going to leave that at you. But a guy with thirty two years experience as a sheriff doing all the right things, with the right answers about the things that matter the economy, etc. Oil taxes, Sheriff, We wish you very much luck and we will continue to talk to you as things go down the road. Thank you, sir, very good.
00:15:11
Speaker 2: You have a happy med yea.
00:15:12
Speaker 1: And you as well, Sheriff Chad Bianco Folks alrighty. Doctors have warned that this year's flu season was going to be a rough one. We see exploding numbers, especially in New York. Right now as we speak, even mainstream media outlets are reporting that a new more virulent and severe flues strained spreading fast right here in the United States. The kicker, the already ineffective flu vaccine, is even less effective against this new strain. What the mainstream media won't tell you is that doctor Peter mccallough warned about this weeks ago. That's why I trust the wallness companies. Two step approach. Step one prevention through immune defense nasal and throat sprays, use daily to help support your body's first line of defense right where viruses enter your body. Step two early treatment through the contagion emergency kit physician prescribed anti viral options so treatment can start early if you get sick and you're not stuck in long lines or shelling out big money at urgent care facilities during the holidays, especially, get prepared now at TWC dot Health slash Voice that's TWC dot Health slash Voice and use that promo code voice and save ten percent. Well this company, folks, great, great folks over there, great doctors. We'll be back two and a half minutes A right, Folks's bring in our next guest, Ali, Residents of ours to day. Ali is an Iranian expert. He knows all things around. I want to talk to him about what's going on. Ali, here's an issue, right, So, I just saw Tokyo, Paris, Sydney, Australia canceling their New Year celebrations that are coming up tomorrow night because they're fearful of terrorist at acts. Also this statement that not even the Supreme Molla, the president of Iran, put out that he's there in a war, all out war with the United States, Europe and Israel. That seems very very disturbing something. It seems like an elevated dog whistle to these terrorists that maybe wanting to perpetrate a terrorist attack in the United States. Break it down for us.
00:17:26
Speaker 4: First of all, it's great to be on the show, Eric, and a happy New Year. I know we've got a couple more days, but the.
00:17:31
Speaker 2: Happy New Year.
00:17:32
Speaker 4: I'm very confident that the new year twenty twenty six, we'll have a much brighter future and hopefully we willn't be talking about terrorism and the hostage taking and all the threats that actually actually emanates from Tehran. Keep in mind that the Iran regime has been the war's leading state sponsor of terrorism because they have a history of over forty decades of engaging in terrorism, and now they don't just do terrorism for the heck of it. This is part and parcel of their strategy for survival. This is a regime that has been rejected by its own population, and the only way that they can cling into power is to repression inside the country, but also terrorism, develop a nuclear weapons outside of Iran for the you know, threatening outside of Iran, their missile program, their drone program, and now they're not doing any of those out of strength. These are all acts of desperation. This is regime that's been rejected by its own people. So so long as the molas are in power, you are going to see these threats emanating from them. Now, some of them may not be directly tied to them, but keep in mind that so long as you have the epicenter of the of terror operating as a date, that creates a lot of room to maneuver, a lot of opportunity for proxic groups, for terror groups, both in terms of training supplies. You know all of that, and that's the story that you're seeing now, and hopefully we will see a totally different region and the world once the molas are overthrown. And I hope that twenty twenty six we'll have the news of a free, democratic, non nuclear republic Iran.
00:19:34
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. I'm not sure you're going to see it that quickly, but as the people again, the only way this is going to happen is if the people actually rise up and eliminate the MOLA structure. The president Massoud, right, he says in response to Trump meeting with bb Net Yahou yesterday, he said, if there's any any sort of aggression, any sort of aggressiont all and I'm telling you, he said, we'll be met with severe and great inducing action against the United States. What's he talking.
00:20:05
Speaker 4: About, Well, I see a lot of hotther, I see a lot of desperation. Keep in mind that this is the regime created a perception that they have authority, they have power not just over their own people, but they have all these proxy groups in the region. They have an advanced nuclear weapons program, missile program, and the world has seen over the past one year the weakness of the Irano regime, their vulnerability that you know, much of the proxy groups that they had in Hesbalai in Lebanon and the shared militias in Iraq, the whoth is in Yemen have been either shattered or significantly weakened. The biggest ally in the region, Assad in Syria is gone and their nuclear weapons program that the regime really spent a lot of money and resource it.
00:21:00
Speaker 2: It costs the.
00:21:00
Speaker 4: Regime what two trillion dollars. That's a lot of money for a country like Iran. That's bigger than all the oil revenue that Iran generated when the Mollas since the time the Molars came to power. All of that or a good portion of that is gone. So you know, you mentioned that the prospect for change, who thought that Asset who seemed to be invincible in Syria in eleven days, he was gone. And the reason Asset was gone because the big brother who was helping him him and strengthening him and supporting him, backing him, was significantly wicked and he didn't really have the backing of the Molos in Tehran.
00:21:46
Speaker 5: He's gone.
00:21:47
Speaker 4: And now the situation applies to the Irano regime and we as we talk, there protests going on inside the country by the people who are entirely head up, both because of economic hardship and the visity they're facing. There's no water or electricity, the inflation is so high, there's corruption, and the value of currency is depreciated so significantly. People feel, like, you know, they have no choice but to come and protest against the regime and end the.
00:22:21
Speaker 1: Rule of form. Maybe you get it, Maybe you get the wish twenty twenty six. We talked about twenty six being a year of accountability. Maybe around leadership may face some accountability from the people. Ali resiad thank you so much for your time. Appreciate you, Thank you so much.

Congratulations on the success of the show, doing great, Thank you very much. Man. We're talking to Ali Resident about this, and we talked to a couple of folks and le Tokyo, Sydney, Paris, maybe others canceling their New Year's Eve celebrations because they're fearful of terrorism. And just answer me this that that statement that the President of AROUND put out a couple of days ago, not the one today where he said there'll be any US aggression will be met with Margris. I'm talking about the one a couple of days ago where he said they're in an all out war, all out war. That all out part seems like a dog whistle to terrast cells around the world step up your activities, your thoughts.
00:25:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is essentially, I mean, it's probably the best way to put it. It's a dog whistle, right for those that are so inclined, whether they're lone wolfs and they're just looking for some reason to get fired up, or whether they're part of a more established support cell or organization, yeah, they've they've got reason to be.
00:25:50
Speaker 5: And look, there's always a.
00:25:52
Speaker 6: Problem around major events, public events, you know, historic days or dates tradition, Radical Islamists, terrorists have looked to those events to stage something because what are they looking for where they're looking for publicity, right, they're looking for for you know, the biggest bang for the bucks, so to speak.
00:26:12
Speaker 5: So you've always got.
00:26:13
Speaker 6: Heightened security regardless, and New Year's Eve events are certainly in that category. But a statement from the head of Iran saying they're declaring war or they're in a state of war against the West, yeah, you're right that that just creates another layer of concern. So it's not a surprise to see some countries start worrying about whether they should even hold major events this time of year.
00:26:42
Speaker 1: You know, it destabilizes, right, because a lot of people don't go out much of the year. They'll go out on New Year's Eve, they're going Fourth of July, and they'll be in groups in those moments. So because of those folks who are not used to looking all over the place before you enter a room or a crowd, you kill a few of those as a terror, you've really destabilized people's comfort and security and feeling of I don't know, safety, safety within your own country. And that is what they're really going for. By definition, that's what terrorism is.
00:27:12
Speaker 6: No absolutely, and again it doesn't it doesn't have to be a major event like in New Year's Eve activity or you know, pick another one inaugurations, super Bowls, whatever it might be. But that's what they look for, and that's sort of their holy grail of coordinated attack planning. So I think, what can people do?
00:27:32
Speaker 2: Well?
00:27:33
Speaker 5: You know, people make that decision. You know, you can't.
00:27:35
Speaker 6: You can't sit in a foxhoil, right, you got to stay busy living. If your decision is to go to a major event, then than find but be smart about it. You can't live in sort of this heightened state of alert all your time, but you can learn when to raise your awareness right when you go into something like this, and that's when you start thinking, Okay, I have to pay more attention to what's happening around me. I have to look for exits. What would I do if there's play that game? What am I going to do if there's a problem? You know, how do I react? How do I stay in touch with others that I'm with?
00:28:09
Speaker 1: Right?
00:28:09
Speaker 5: What's my communications plan? How do I get out of here?
00:28:12
Speaker 6: And so again, you can't do that all the time, but you can certainly do that when you go into a public event, and frankly, you know there's a lot of us that do that when we just simply are traveling and we go down into a subway system or whatever it may be.
00:28:26
Speaker 1: So switch you over to Venezuela. Trump used a drone strikes what he said was a facility they believe was a facility to house a lot of drugs. Trend to was was storing a bunch of drugs that were going to load on boats and send them over this way. Maduro, what is the Maduro mentality? Right now? He's been bombed on his own country, inside his own borders, his own landke CIA, How how how much intel do we have on this guy and what is what he may do?
00:28:59
Speaker 6: Well, he's clearly worried about you know, first and foremost those immediately around him, Right, He's called on Cuban intelligence and their security apparatus to provide him with the close in support. So his immediate ring of security, those are those are Cubans, right, And and you know Cuba has done this in the past, you know, not just for Madureau, for Hugo Chavez and for other nations.
00:29:22
Speaker 5: That's kind of what they do in order.
00:29:24
Speaker 6: To you know, keep some some revenue coming in because they don't have much else on on the island in Cuba. So that's that's an indication that Maduro is is paranoid, right, and he should be.
00:29:34
Speaker 1: Right.
00:29:34
Speaker 6: There's a fifty million dollar reward for you know, information leading to his arrest. But you know, it's interesting because this this attack that you just mentioned, this drone attack, uh inside Venezuela. It's been a while since President Trump announced that he had authorized the covert action by the CIA, without stating that they would actually do it. He had just authorized that as a pat Henschel capability, and then he came out right with very little warning the other day and said that they've done it right. This past week, they reportedly hit a dock facility that they're saying is used by TDA. Now it's not clear because there's very few details about this.
00:30:20
Speaker 5: You know, what was there?
00:30:21
Speaker 6: Was there a major warehouse, Was it a storage facility or was it just a loading site where they would you know, load up the boats send them off. And up to this point we had been attacking those boats. We've done about thirty of those sea attacks so far. Some one hundred and seven or more Narco traffickers have been killed.
00:30:41
Speaker 5: In those incidents.
00:30:42
Speaker 6: But there's very few details about this attack inside Venezuela. It is a significant development.
00:30:49
Speaker 1: You know, they claim it was just the fire, that they put it out right away. We know how those of course they were going to say that just came this out for us. Is Maduro Well a year from now, one of the New Year's Day, before New Year's Eve twenty twenty six into twenty seven, will will Nicholas Maduro still be the president of Venezuela.
00:31:07
Speaker 6: Well, I think reasonable people can say for the benefit and the betterment of Venezuelan people.
00:31:13
Speaker 5: We hope not right, right?
00:31:14
Speaker 1: I mean that ye give me, give me this CIA, give me this CIA guy telling me what what where we are in that in terms of removing and replacing Maduro?
00:31:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, well yeah, yeah, You've hit on a major issue. Here is the replacing, right?
00:31:31
Speaker 6: If I had to put money down, do I think a year from now Maduro still in office?
00:31:35
Speaker 5: I don't think he will be.
00:31:36
Speaker 6: I think what will happen is he will either make the move himself because he wants to save his own skin and you know, some ability to say where he goes and what he does, or his his closed circle will will move him out. But the question is what happens after that, And it's not it's not clear cut, right, It's not. There has been an opposition. He stole the last election. You have an opposition technically in waiting. But you know what happens in the meantime. Does the military agree to that?
00:32:03
Speaker 1: Right?
00:32:03
Speaker 5: They still play a role in Venezuela.
00:32:05
Speaker 6: So you know, it's always the aftermath of moving somebody out of a position of power that can get really messy.
00:32:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike Baker, always good to have you on President's Daily Brief. Great podcast. Good to talk to you, my friend. We'll talk to you again soon. Happy New Year and be safe brother.
00:32:21
Speaker 5: Yeah you too, man. Happy New Year to you all.
00:32:23
Speaker 1: Right, folks, We'll be back two and a half over here. Mara Gay. Mar Gay a journalist I'm using air quotes here, who's among the many leftists and biased members of a profession who insist that what's happening well, for example, in Minnesota may or may not be actually happening. Another what you see is not what you see really moment, which is par for the liberal especially media course.
00:33:03
Speaker 7: Watch First of all, if there is fraud there, that should be fully investigated, no matter where it is, whether it's in a democratic led state a republican led state. I mean, let's pull back. So absolutely it should be investigated. The question is, you know, why is this a priority in a different kind of way if there.
00:33:24
Speaker 1: Is fraud there? If have you seen the Nick Shirley video. If you haven't, it's got about two hundred million views, and it really exposes just how widespread it was, how blatantly obvious. It was. Also just a little reminder of what that New York Times writer is made of mar Gay once said this about former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
00:33:45
Speaker 3: But you see it as a possibility. If he wants to spend a billion bucks beating this guy, he could do it.
00:33:52
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:33:53
Speaker 7: Somebody tweeted recently that actually, with the money he spent, he could have given every American a million dollars.
00:33:59
Speaker 3: Got it, Let's fot the screen. When I read it tonight on social media, it kind of all became clear. Bloomberg spent five hundred million on ads. Us population three hundred twenty seven million. Don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math. He could have given each American one million dollars and I've had lunch money left over. It's an incredible way of putting it.
00:34:21
Speaker 7: It's an incredible way of putting it. It's true, it's disturbing.
00:34:25
Speaker 2: It does.
00:34:26
Speaker 7: It does suggest you know what we're talking about here, which is there's too much money in politics, and it makes it difficult because what we want.
00:34:35
Speaker 1: I hate to break the news you, Margay, and by the way, Brian Williams to dumbasses, because there are three hundred and twenty million people in America. You couldn't give every American a million. You can give him a dollar, not a million, a dollar, justlaw by nine hundred ninety nine, nine hundred and ninety nine dollars. But you're close. Brian Williams and Margay also really entertaining to hear the left make comments like politicized DOJ when talking about the Trump White House, pretending like they really don't understand anything about the irony of that statement.
00:35:09
Speaker 7: The question is, you know, why is this a priority? In a different kind of way, the politicization of the DOJ and the FBI is undeniable, So whether they are reliable narrators is the big question. And this is what happens when you weaponize and politicize federal agencies that are not meant to be, you.
00:35:30
Speaker 2: Know, politicized.
00:35:31
Speaker 7: And I think the American people are right to ask the question, well, can we trust you? And that's a sad thing to say as an American.
00:35:39
Speaker 1: Politicized deal You've spent four years trying to throw Trump in jail, or to break him, to put him out of business, to make him broke, and then you claim that he's incredible, incredible. Another day, another freak out by a Democrat who just hates to have their feet held to the fire for actual crimes committed somehow in their minds. Being held account for corruption or fraud shouldn't be looked into or punished.
00:36:05
Speaker 8: I want you to hear from me first. I'm going on offense against Donald Trump, and I just put senior Trump officials on notice. Donald Trump once again is trying to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his enemy's list. That's me, Adam Schiff, Tiss James, and Lisa Cook. But I'm not having it. Why is he doing this because we had the nerve to stand up to his corruption. Susie Wilds just admitted this in Vanity Fair. She said that when Donald Trump sees an opportunity for retribution.
00:36:32
Speaker 1: He quote goes for it.
00:36:34
Speaker 8: So, yes, the allegations that Bill Poulti has launched against me and others are nonsense. My lawsuit against Donald Trump and his team is not. So we just sent a letter to Susie Wiles telling her, saved your emails, your text messages, everything that records or documents Donald Trump going after his potical enemies. Save it because we're coming forward because we want the truth. What did Trump know? What t DoD he order what did others do on his behalf? We're not going away and the American people are always going to choose the truth over Trump.
00:37:06
Speaker 1: Let's see Leticia James lawsuit dropped, Alvin Bragg lawsuit dropped, no basis, no grounds. Oh, Fannie Willison Georgia dropped. Oh Jack Smith, Federal investigat draw You jerks Democrats through every bs thing at Trump with your lawfair and now you don't want to be held the same way accountable. I think your lawsuit Eric s wallwell, he should turn around and countersue you for frivolous lawsuits. I hope he does. I hope he takes every last penny of your California governor's bankroll. You know, you know Nancy Pelosi thought she was some sort of gangster after ripping up the president's speech, remember that State of Union first time. But of course the Democrat state media wouldn't miss an opportunity to have Nancy talk about that moment yet again.
00:37:57
Speaker 9: I intend to go to speech to cheer it up. But I just the first pick part of it a chour page because he was lying, and then the next phage and then the next page. I thought it was a manifesto of lies all throughout, So I better just tear up the whole stage. Now, the speeches are on a strong paper there, so you have to do it a few times to get it done. But I had no intention of My staff is going to die really disrespectful.
00:38:28
Speaker 1: You're sitting behind the President of the United States, you're the Speaker of the House, and you disrespect the man behind him. Do it to his face. Nance you see what that would if he had seen that and face it. Oh, I would love to see what Trump would have done. Remember how he dismantled Hillary Clinton. Yeah, because you'd be in jail, drops the mic. He would crush you, Nancy. I don't mean physically, he would just do something just to show what a ridiculous, comical person you are. It'll be nice. Francis Collins, former director of the NIH and Anthony Fauci's boss at the time. I'm who's also linked to torturing and killing beagles for medical research. Killing dogs. He was confronted and it was, I don't know, kind of interesting to watch.
00:39:10
Speaker 10: I'd say, doctor Collins, you and Ralph Barrick and Tony Fauci deserve to be imprisoned for the rest of your lives. You have so much blood on your hands. I hope you sleep all at night.
00:39:20
Speaker 2: Any I remember the.
00:39:21
Speaker 10: Name Brian Dressing because you left her stranded after she was severely injured by the COVID vaccine in your study.
00:39:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do know.
00:39:30
Speaker 10: Her name is Brian Dressing.
00:39:32
Speaker 1: Have a good note, Pretty cool. I'm good with that. No violence, no harm, just confronting a guy for some of the crap he did. They were responsible, they were greatly responsible. They were funding the Wuhan lab that leaked the COVID virus around the world, killed seven million people worldwide, a million Americans, and somehow this guy's enjoying a nice dinner. Anthony Fauci. Anthony Fauci's got a preemptive pardon for the rest of his life, earning four hundred thousand dollars a year every year until he dies. Can't happen soon enough, fouch. Jasmine Crockett, Oh, my girlfriend. Jasmin Crockett has some very interesting news on views on what police are supposed to be doing, which explains a lot about why blue cities tend to be so plagued with so much crime and why criminals have no fear of continuing their crime waves as they please without consequence.
00:40:25
Speaker 11: I want to be clear that like law enforcement isn't to prevent crime. Law enforcement solves crime. Okay, that is what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to solve crimes, not necessarily prevent them from happening, per se.
00:40:44
Speaker 1: What No, no, no, You prevent crime so it doesn't happen again. You catch criminals, you incarcerate them, and you show the world so, hey, you want to end up like that guy, go do it again. You're gonna end up just like that is that is you. You don't solve a disease. After you get the disease, you try and do things to avoid the disease. If you don't want hard trouble, if you don't want cancer, don't smoke easy as that period done. But law enforcement is there to prevent crime. Yes, solve the crime for the purpose of preventing more crime. Duh, jazz jazzi. The Left still can't seem to wrap their brains around the fact that investigating and uncovering corruption and fraud is not and should not be political. Should be both sides, right. I guess that's just what you get after four years of the politicized lawfare Democrats waged against all things Mega.
00:41:42
Speaker 12: Because this is about politics. I get that politics is politics, but you know, honestly, you knock on the door of a daycare center and you're like, let me in, let me in. What do you expect people to do? You know in some of those cases there were children in there. What do you want people to do in that situation open the door and say come on in. When they know that the Somali community is under attack, is being threatened every single day. What is going on here?
00:42:12
Speaker 1: Except if you watch again, do your homework, Lady Abby Phillip, do your freaking homework. Watch it's about forty two minutes. Watch the video. You'll see them knock on door after door after door. Windows are all taped out black. Why would you want your kid in a place where windows are taped out black? There's no kids anywhere, any of them. He goes from one to the other. In some you could see one, two, three, all three of them that they were being paid for, up to eighty kids with none. I think he saw one kid on all of these. Do your homework. Just watch the video before you defend nine billion dollars of fraud, waste and abuse. Abby, I, folks, very quickly, want to show you a quick moment from the Edge, and then I want you to decide something. Look, I know the isn't for everyone.

Speaker 5: Back again.
00:44:27
Speaker 1: Oh write about So we've been reading and listening to your voicemails are amazing, awesome, awesome, great ones, Ben, Can I see the control. Let's see that control. There's the team know. Oh wait, what was it you played? Yeah, so a little background on that. I was taping some stuff and in between, right before the show, mad Dog came over to Backstreet Boys. I was like, what batstreet Boy had no idea, and then they sent me a video of the Apparently the Backstreet Boys are wearing all the white now, which I wouldn't know because I'm kind of like a led Zeppelin aerosmith in the hoof and but okay, got it. Anyway, Ben, I know that you love that song, so can we hear some some voicemail?
00:45:18
Speaker 2: Got cha, Matt, viewer is curious about our grain reserve.
00:45:22
Speaker 3: Hello, Hey, you were mentioning the strategic oil reserve.
00:45:26
Speaker 1: Do we have a strategic grain reserve? Just curious? Just let us know. Thanks by This is a very important question. So the oil reserve is because we use forty million barrels of oil a day. Twenty million come from foreign countries, Mexico Canada being the two biggest, and others Saudi Arabia, et cetera, not Russia anymore, are grain. We have a different situation in grain. So the theory between our strategic petroleum reserve is that if the outside forces stop feeding us the the oil we use per day, we be really in trouble. Oil prices would spike, we would have you know, shortages lines for everything. We don't have that situation with grain. We are a net excess producer of grain. We actually export like metric tons of grain to foreign countries because we are so we are so blessed with our climate, the bread basket of America that those Middle States, the corn of amber, waves of grains, that's part of the anthem for a reason. We are a mass producer of grain, so we don't necessarily need a strategic grain reserve because we are really set and probably will be for eternity just based on our climate location, and two of our fore borders are water.
00:46:43
Speaker 2: Next one, Ben, we have a viewer who's fed up with people living off our taxpayer dollars.
00:46:49
Speaker 13: Hello, mister Merry Christmas, mister boiling. I watched this show quite often. I'm the United States Navy veteran honorable discharge. I want to tell you if you've seen the Somalion podcast of a black guy from Somalia telling white people to go to work, He's from Minnesota, telling white people to go to work so he can have his EVT cards and play video.
00:47:15
Speaker 2: Games all day when.
00:47:16
Speaker 13: US suckers in America white people pay his bills and taxes. I hope you've seen what I've seen. If not, it's got to be on YouTube or something. Honestly, I'm sixty two and I'm not too good with the computer.
00:47:32
Speaker 10: Or nothing, but I watch the show.
00:47:34
Speaker 13: And I'm calling in and please do something about this podcast and get rid of the Somalians that are here. I legally I'm a United States Patriot from Hudson Valley, New York. Thank you, Union worker.
00:47:50
Speaker 1: Union worker, Thank you, sir, thank you for the comment, thank you for our freedom, thank you for your service to the country. I will tell you I haven't seen that video, but I've seen the Nick Shirley video, and i will tell you. At one point, he approaches a woman, a Somalian woman, who was supposed to be running one of these childcare centers with no kids in it, blacked out windows, no kids in it, and he asked there were the kids, and she answers him by saying, I'm not answering you. I'm afraid of you because you're white, and he calls her on it. To his credit, this kid's going to be he's going to be a great journalist. He says, what do you mean you're afraid of because I'm white. He says, you're racist. That's racist, and she said, no, I'm not racism. But it is. It really is. These people are so entitled. They're caught red handed. They've been stealing billions upon billions of dollars and they can't even step up and be American, be human. It's the problem, sir. I'll tell you something you're right about. If they came over legally. There's not a lot you can do. Certainly, the ones that are stealing you get rid of them or throw them in jail. But the ones who aren't here get rid of them. They don't assimilate. We need to teach people. If you want to come here, great, We need more people here. We need more people who were can feed into the system so that everyone can survive and do better. But you have to do you have to live by our laws. There's no Sharia law in Muslim counties. There's no no go zones for cops in Muslim neighborhoods. No, it's the American way of black and it really nice. If you had some sort of test. Do you know the Constitution? Can you recite I don't know, the preamble to the Constitution or maybe singing the national anthem, I don't know. Just assimilate, Just show us you want to be part of this amazing experiment that America is. Otherwise we're going to screw it all up. And it's on its way there. It's really it's scary what's going on, and we're only about it. Whatever. Thirty six hours away from Zo ram Mamdani taking over New York City and boy is that going to be wild to watch? All Right, folks love that song, Ted Nugent, have a great night. Band is up next. Always good to talk to Ban and we'll get him on the horn one of these days.
Speaker 1: Well, take a look at that at four o'clock down a little bit in the dial. Looks like we're about eighty ninety points, a little lower Nasdaq. Nothing really across the board that's in ped Nassak, not much at all. A little interesting. Oil was up the buck fifty yesterdays up another dollar this morning backed off gold market. We didn't have the opening because Trump took the beginning of the show. But yesterday gold slid two hundred dollars announced we're forty five sixty bouncing back just to touch sixteen dollars a little bit. Crypto kind of holding its own. Bitcoin is kind of in a holding pattern. In eighty seven eight up a little bit. It's finding a real comfortable spot between eighty six and eighty nine, eighty six and eighty six. My gut feeling on crypto, I think bitcoin one of these days towards the end of year. Remember gold and silver have taken off, just gone apoplectic, straight up parabolic we call it, and then crypto kind of tailed off. So golden silver up seventy and one hundred percent the two of them, Cryptos even for the year for the year, so I think crypto's going to catch up at some point when no one's expecting it. All right, our next guest, first guest, Sheriff of Riverside County, California, was also running for governor. Happy to have Sheriff Chad Bianco with us. Sheriff, let's just jump right in. You we last time you're here, you had just bubbled out it. So what happened was Swallow. Last time we're here, Swallow had announced he wanted to run for governor on the Democrat side. And what that did was it took a little bit of the support for Katie Porter at the time, who was having a hard time of her own because she's an absolutely miserable person, and then people are realizing. But it also split that vote a little bit, and you bubbled up to the top of poles. Here we are a couple of weeks later. Tell us where the polls stand recently with you in California governor.
00:01:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the same. I think there was one poll that came out maybe a week after when I was on, and I think it was I had Steve and I at the top and two Republicans at the top, and I think Swallowa was number three. So it's really the polling here in California is showing that we're kind of done here. We're tired of the direction the way things have been going, and things are looking good for us. We're right where we want it to be. We know we're in the lead, we know we're on both parties. We're the camp to beat. So we're doing well going into the new year.
00:02:27
Speaker 1: In full disclosure, folks, I used to work with Steve Hilton. I know him, who's a friend. I do support a man who's law enforcement number one number two. You're thirty five years. Tell us a little bit more about your background with people. Should hear this?
00:02:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, has been thirty two years, and I've been the sheriff since twenty eighteen November twenty eighteen. Reelected in twenty twenty two. My next election is not until twenty twenty eight here, so I will be running as the sheriff. It's a large county here, two and a half million people. I've got forty five hundred little less than forty five hundred employees and a one point three billion dollar budget. I'll be the only current elected official running so far in this election and one reelection, and really, when you look back on my history, I'm exactly what California has been wanting, I think for a long time, an actual leader with integrity that they can trust that's going to do right by them instead of right by a party or right by a personal ambition or political ambition. So things are going really well here and we're very happy. We're just going to keep plugging along until we take this victory.
00:03:30
Speaker 1: And again, support you. I think you're the right man for the job. Help me figure this out, California people, voters, mentality politics. Kevin Newson wants to run for president right now, he's probably pulling at the top of the Democrats for a twenty twenty eight presidential candidate. How with the same failures that he's brought to California, whether it's mayor of San Francisco or governor of California recently, with all those failures, homelessness, whatever, how is he bubbling up to the top of the Democrats list for candadates for president. Yeah, you say, the people of California have had enough of it and it's time for a change, being a time for a conservative.
00:04:07
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:04:07
Speaker 2: So it's a very unique dynamic that we have here with him running for president, because in California, we all absolutely know he's a failure. We're suffering, we're victims of his absolute political failure and in him really carrying on that Democrat far left agenda that's been going on for really twenty years. But the thing that's different, and it's really really annoying here, is you have him going on social media, and you have him doing his podcast, and he talks about how great things are, and whoever's in his podcast, or ever whoever's doing the interview with him, they just let him say it, even though it's a blatant lie. And here in California, even the media, the media won't report on the negative things about Gavin Newsom. For instance, our own state government came out, our auditor's department, our auditor, California Auditor, came out with a scathing, scathing report listing nine California agencies, including the Governor's office, as high risk. And high risk means that you are ripe with fraud, waste, abuse, and serious lack of management and oversight. And that's our own government saying that our own government is absolutely failing so what's going on in Minnesota. It pails in comparison to what we have here in California and what we actually know, But the media won't report that, I think because Newsom is running for president and they want to do everything they can to prop him up a little bit.
00:05:37
Speaker 1: So I've lived in Florida for about five years now. I went to college here, I'm back here now. So California the highest tax state in the nation, maybe Hawaii, California certainly is the top two. Florida has no personal income tax. Here, we're running a positive budget surplus about three billion dollars, California running about an eighteen billion dollar deficit. How shere's my question. You're proposing eliminitting income tax. Is that right? And how are you going to do that with a state that's already running an eighteen billion dollar deficit with an income tax in place?
00:06:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's super, super easy, and this is the thing everybody wants to know, how are you going to do it? And then so everybody's so pessimistic, pessimistic because they think that government should be doing it if it was that easy. But the problem is they don't want to do it. So the reality of our government that we already know. Our own auditor controller is telling us the waste, fraud and abuse is we are the worst in the possible country. They don't know where twenty five billion dollars worth of homeless money went. They can't account for eighteen billion dollars of COVID money. They can't account for twenty billion dollars in each area of our state. How do you miss billions? I mean, if they said one hundred thousand dollars was missing and we don't know, that's okay, But how about billions? Where is that coming from? So that's number one. The waste of fraud in the abuse gets stopped. And it's easy because I'm the governor control the budget. It's not as hard as you're going to think. But here's the key. California is the biggest oil user in the country, and rightfully so, we're the biggest populated. We have the most planes, trains, automobiles, all of that good stuff. So we import eighty percent of our oil that we buy from other countries. If we were oil independent in our state, which we have more oil than any other state, that's a little unknown fact that anybody else doesn't. Most people don't know Alaska has more, but we're second to Alaska. And if we were oil independent in our state, that would completely fund state government. So it truly shows you that the environmental activists that really run our state. This progressive agenda of getting rid of oil, going to renewables and all of that garbage is seriously destroying our state and it's going to be very easy to get it back. And as much as I do like Florida, I'm telling you we'll be taking all of your residents once i'm governor, because we will be not only the greatest and you know, we have the greatest beaches, we have the greatest weather. It's seventy degrees here today, perfect little bit, it's even a little overcast. And we're now going to fix our government and have the best run government that we can possibly have in our country. So we're going to be attracting businesses and residents from all other states instead of what we have now, which is a mass exodus out of California.
00:08:22
Speaker 1: You know, it's another reason why I just I love what you're bringing. I love this idea of drilling more, drill, maybe drill, because it's really the oil is the lifeblood of an economy, and it certainly will fix a lot of budget deficits if you were allowed to, if the environmentalist lobby, you weren't in bed or I guess devoted to the environmentalist lobby, which democrats are, and if you can break that handcuff, so to speak, no pun intended, sheriff, Yeah, you could actually be probably run a budget surplus. We certainly would in America if we stopped buying foreign oil, We absolutely would. We buy half of our twenty million barrels a day oil from outside vendors, outside countries that frankly hate us. Very quickly, NGO, as you say, the homeless NGO situation, tell us about that very quickly, if you don't mind.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely so. Twenty five billion dollars over the last couple of years is completely gone. They have absolutely no idea where it went, any way of to track it. We know that there are hundreds, if not thousands and thousands of people that are making millions and millions of dollars off this homeless industrial complex. Where the government will give an NGO or a nonprofit five million dollars to help the homeless. They may help one, they may help five they may help none, and yet that money is gone. That money is spent off of administrative costs, off of salaries, all of those types of things. But then what we know now from our federal government investigation and what we're learning here in California, is that a little portion of that money gets siphoned off from the recipient and gets recycled back into the political campaigns of the demo prats who are putting it in the It's basically a big money laundering cycle, this homeless industrial complex that takes our taxpayer money. The lawmakers give it to the nonprofits, the nonprofits use it for themselves, and then take a portion back into the political campaigns to make sure that that money train keeps flowing. And that ends with me as the governor. There will not be another NGO or a nonprofit getting money for homeless until we actually verify that they're helping. And they absolutely must do one of three things. Three would be better. You have to have drug treatment, you have to have alcohol treatment, mental health treatment. And here's the kicker, you have to have both. We have to have live in facilities that treat not only drug and alcohol addiction, but mental health issues. Because right now there is absolutely nothing for those people, and the majority of them are experiencing mental health conditions because of their drug and alcohol addiction, and there is no treatment for them. There's no facility that will treat those people. So we will fix that. We will. There are the facilities out there, they just can't operate. They actually want to do a good job. And the reality what we have to get to is our government doesn't want to solve our homeless issue here or make it better because when they do that, money stops flowing. If you cut off the money because you fix the problem, then people aren't getting rich and people aren't getting elected again with money into their campaign coffers. So it's a huge deal here. We know exactly how to fix it, and we're going to hit the ground running when I take office and make sure we get these people the help that they need, because I'm telling you it is absolutely it should be embarrassing that the government is letting these people rotten their own skins, die in the sidewalk and we do nothing about it.
00:11:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yehm promised to fix the homeless population issue twenty years ago in San Francisco. Never did. So I got to do this because I had a call or call and ask about this. They love you, they love a conservative. They did point out something I didn't know, and I just would Yeah, I think you have to answer this. Maybe if it's not for me, it's gonna be from someone else. Twenty twenty, they said you during the George Floyd issue moment summer of whatever, that was love that you stood with Black Lives Matter, and actually Nelts, can you tell us what happened there?
00:12:18
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, So everybody has to realize that there is absolutely nothing in my life, in my past that I've said or done that would indicate anything of this. I've evolved over the last probably seven years as one of the nation's leading law enforcement leaders in the nation. Definitely in our state and my county one hundred percent. I am the law enforcement leader of this county. That could never happen if I knelt to a domestic terrorist organization that hate cops.
00:12:48
Speaker 1: So what we're.
00:12:49
Speaker 2: Seeing now is political theater. We're seeing the political nonsense that always happens when other candidates want to bring down someone else because of truly what they have to offer everyone. The reality of that time in our country was I was the first law enforcement leader that actually stood up to BLM and we eliminated from our city. We eliminated ten thousand of them from our city within an hour, and no one reported any injuries. We suffered no injuries from law enforcement. It was an overwhelming show of force that we removed them from our city. And here's the thing. They have never come back. But just to address your question now, with all of that said, because there are certain some of my opponents in this race want you to see a either very short clipping of a video or a snapshot picture that they're sending around that truly takes everything out of context of what exactly it was we had ordered them. I gave them the order, personally, gave them the order that they had twenty minutes to vacate the street or we would forcibly remove them. When that happened, one of the leaders of that organization, that's who I was talking to, He asked me if he could pray for my deputies, and he asked me if I would pray with him. I said yes. He asked other people around him to pray. He asked if deputies could pray. Some of them did, some of them didn't. And that's what happened. He actually prayed for the safety of my deputies and then they dispersed. But all you see is a picture, a snapshot picture of a camera, and you see it. You see selected edited version, not maybe not edited, but very cut versions of that video.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: And it's a typical liberal or an opponent, lack of context. Take a clip, don't show the context. Listen. I accept that, I accept that. I wish it didn't happen, to be honest with you, but I think I still believe you are the right person for that job. And look, you know, whatever is a mistake or not what people have a right to fix some mistakes, so to speak. And I'm going to leave that at you. But a guy with thirty two years experience as a sheriff doing all the right things, with the right answers about the things that matter the economy, etc. Oil taxes, Sheriff, We wish you very much luck and we will continue to talk to you as things go down the road. Thank you, sir, very good.
00:15:11
Speaker 2: You have a happy med yea.
00:15:12
Speaker 1: And you as well, Sheriff Chad Bianco Folks alrighty. Doctors have warned that this year's flu season was going to be a rough one. We see exploding numbers, especially in New York. Right now as we speak, even mainstream media outlets are reporting that a new more virulent and severe flues strained spreading fast right here in the United States. The kicker, the already ineffective flu vaccine, is even less effective against this new strain. What the mainstream media won't tell you is that doctor Peter mccallough warned about this weeks ago. That's why I trust the wallness companies. Two step approach. Step one prevention through immune defense nasal and throat sprays, use daily to help support your body's first line of defense right where viruses enter your body. Step two early treatment through the contagion emergency kit physician prescribed anti viral options so treatment can start early if you get sick and you're not stuck in long lines or shelling out big money at urgent care facilities during the holidays, especially, get prepared now at TWC dot Health slash Voice that's TWC dot Health slash Voice and use that promo code voice and save ten percent. Well this company, folks, great, great folks over there, great doctors. We'll be back two and a half minutes A right, Folks's bring in our next guest, Ali, Residents of ours to day. Ali is an Iranian expert. He knows all things around. I want to talk to him about what's going on. Ali, here's an issue, right, So, I just saw Tokyo, Paris, Sydney, Australia canceling their New Year celebrations that are coming up tomorrow night because they're fearful of terrorist at acts. Also this statement that not even the Supreme Molla, the president of Iran, put out that he's there in a war, all out war with the United States, Europe and Israel. That seems very very disturbing something. It seems like an elevated dog whistle to these terrorists that maybe wanting to perpetrate a terrorist attack in the United States. Break it down for us.
00:17:26
Speaker 4: First of all, it's great to be on the show, Eric, and a happy New Year. I know we've got a couple more days, but the.
00:17:31
Speaker 2: Happy New Year.
00:17:32
Speaker 4: I'm very confident that the new year twenty twenty six, we'll have a much brighter future and hopefully we willn't be talking about terrorism and the hostage taking and all the threats that actually actually emanates from Tehran. Keep in mind that the Iran regime has been the war's leading state sponsor of terrorism because they have a history of over forty decades of engaging in terrorism, and now they don't just do terrorism for the heck of it. This is part and parcel of their strategy for survival. This is a regime that has been rejected by its own population, and the only way that they can cling into power is to repression inside the country, but also terrorism, develop a nuclear weapons outside of Iran for the you know, threatening outside of Iran, their missile program, their drone program, and now they're not doing any of those out of strength. These are all acts of desperation. This is regime that's been rejected by its own people. So so long as the molas are in power, you are going to see these threats emanating from them. Now, some of them may not be directly tied to them, but keep in mind that so long as you have the epicenter of the of terror operating as a date, that creates a lot of room to maneuver, a lot of opportunity for proxic groups, for terror groups, both in terms of training supplies. You know all of that, and that's the story that you're seeing now, and hopefully we will see a totally different region and the world once the molas are overthrown. And I hope that twenty twenty six we'll have the news of a free, democratic, non nuclear republic Iran.
00:19:34
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. I'm not sure you're going to see it that quickly, but as the people again, the only way this is going to happen is if the people actually rise up and eliminate the MOLA structure. The president Massoud, right, he says in response to Trump meeting with bb Net Yahou yesterday, he said, if there's any any sort of aggression, any sort of aggressiont all and I'm telling you, he said, we'll be met with severe and great inducing action against the United States. What's he talking.
00:20:05
Speaker 4: About, Well, I see a lot of hotther, I see a lot of desperation. Keep in mind that this is the regime created a perception that they have authority, they have power not just over their own people, but they have all these proxy groups in the region. They have an advanced nuclear weapons program, missile program, and the world has seen over the past one year the weakness of the Irano regime, their vulnerability that you know, much of the proxy groups that they had in Hesbalai in Lebanon and the shared militias in Iraq, the whoth is in Yemen have been either shattered or significantly weakened. The biggest ally in the region, Assad in Syria is gone and their nuclear weapons program that the regime really spent a lot of money and resource it.
00:21:00
Speaker 2: It costs the.
00:21:00
Speaker 4: Regime what two trillion dollars. That's a lot of money for a country like Iran. That's bigger than all the oil revenue that Iran generated when the Mollas since the time the Molars came to power. All of that or a good portion of that is gone. So you know, you mentioned that the prospect for change, who thought that Asset who seemed to be invincible in Syria in eleven days, he was gone. And the reason Asset was gone because the big brother who was helping him him and strengthening him and supporting him, backing him, was significantly wicked and he didn't really have the backing of the Molos in Tehran.
00:21:46
Speaker 5: He's gone.
00:21:47
Speaker 4: And now the situation applies to the Irano regime and we as we talk, there protests going on inside the country by the people who are entirely head up, both because of economic hardship and the visity they're facing. There's no water or electricity, the inflation is so high, there's corruption, and the value of currency is depreciated so significantly. People feel, like, you know, they have no choice but to come and protest against the regime and end the.
00:22:21
Speaker 1: Rule of form. Maybe you get it, Maybe you get the wish twenty twenty six. We talked about twenty six being a year of accountability. Maybe around leadership may face some accountability from the people. Ali resiad thank you so much for your time. Appreciate you, Thank you so much.

He also has a daily podcast called The President's Daily Brief. Happy to have Mike Baker back on the show, Mike, always good to have you on. Congratulations on the success of the show, doing great, Thank you very much. Man. We're talking to Ali Resident about this, and we talked to a couple of folks and le Tokyo, Sydney, Paris, maybe others canceling their New Year's Eve celebrations because they're fearful of terrorism. And just answer me this that that statement that the President of AROUND put out a couple of days ago, not the one today where he said there'll be any US aggression will be met with Margris. I'm talking about the one a couple of days ago where he said they're in an all out war, all out war. That all out part seems like a dog whistle to terrast cells around the world step up your activities, your thoughts.
00:25:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is essentially, I mean, it's probably the best way to put it. It's a dog whistle, right for those that are so inclined, whether they're lone wolfs and they're just looking for some reason to get fired up, or whether they're part of a more established support cell or organization, yeah, they've they've got reason to be.
00:25:50
Speaker 5: And look, there's always a.
00:25:52
Speaker 6: Problem around major events, public events, you know, historic days or dates tradition, Radical Islamists, terrorists have looked to those events to stage something because what are they looking for where they're looking for publicity, right, they're looking for for you know, the biggest bang for the bucks, so to speak.
00:26:12
Speaker 5: So you've always got.
00:26:13
Speaker 6: Heightened security regardless, and New Year's Eve events are certainly in that category. But a statement from the head of Iran saying they're declaring war or they're in a state of war against the West, yeah, you're right that that just creates another layer of concern. So it's not a surprise to see some countries start worrying about whether they should even hold major events this time of year.
00:26:42
Speaker 1: You know, it destabilizes, right, because a lot of people don't go out much of the year. They'll go out on New Year's Eve, they're going Fourth of July, and they'll be in groups in those moments. So because of those folks who are not used to looking all over the place before you enter a room or a crowd, you kill a few of those as a terror, you've really destabilized people's comfort and security and feeling of I don't know, safety, safety within your own country. And that is what they're really going for. By definition, that's what terrorism is.
00:27:12
Speaker 6: No absolutely, and again it doesn't it doesn't have to be a major event like in New Year's Eve activity or you know, pick another one inaugurations, super Bowls, whatever it might be. But that's what they look for, and that's sort of their holy grail of coordinated attack planning. So I think, what can people do?
00:27:32
Speaker 2: Well?
00:27:33
Speaker 5: You know, people make that decision. You know, you can't.
00:27:35
Speaker 6: You can't sit in a foxhoil, right, you got to stay busy living. If your decision is to go to a major event, then than find but be smart about it. You can't live in sort of this heightened state of alert all your time, but you can learn when to raise your awareness right when you go into something like this, and that's when you start thinking, Okay, I have to pay more attention to what's happening around me. I have to look for exits. What would I do if there's play that game? What am I going to do if there's a problem? You know, how do I react? How do I stay in touch with others that I'm with?
00:28:09
Speaker 1: Right?
00:28:09
Speaker 5: What's my communications plan? How do I get out of here?
00:28:12
Speaker 6: And so again, you can't do that all the time, but you can certainly do that when you go into a public event, and frankly, you know there's a lot of us that do that when we just simply are traveling and we go down into a subway system or whatever it may be.
00:28:26
Speaker 1: So switch you over to Venezuela. Trump used a drone strikes what he said was a facility they believe was a facility to house a lot of drugs. Trend to was was storing a bunch of drugs that were going to load on boats and send them over this way. Maduro, what is the Maduro mentality? Right now? He's been bombed on his own country, inside his own borders, his own landke CIA, How how how much intel do we have on this guy and what is what he may do?
00:28:59
Speaker 6: Well, he's clearly worried about you know, first and foremost those immediately around him, Right, He's called on Cuban intelligence and their security apparatus to provide him with the close in support. So his immediate ring of security, those are those are Cubans, right, And and you know Cuba has done this in the past, you know, not just for Madureau, for Hugo Chavez and for other nations.
00:29:22
Speaker 5: That's kind of what they do in order.
00:29:24
Speaker 6: To you know, keep some some revenue coming in because they don't have much else on on the island in Cuba. So that's that's an indication that Maduro is is paranoid, right, and he should be.
00:29:34
Speaker 1: Right.
00:29:34
Speaker 6: There's a fifty million dollar reward for you know, information leading to his arrest. But you know, it's interesting because this this attack that you just mentioned, this drone attack, uh inside Venezuela. It's been a while since President Trump announced that he had authorized the covert action by the CIA, without stating that they would actually do it. He had just authorized that as a pat Henschel capability, and then he came out right with very little warning the other day and said that they've done it right. This past week, they reportedly hit a dock facility that they're saying is used by TDA. Now it's not clear because there's very few details about this.
00:30:20
Speaker 5: You know, what was there?
00:30:21
Speaker 6: Was there a major warehouse, Was it a storage facility or was it just a loading site where they would you know, load up the boats send them off. And up to this point we had been attacking those boats. We've done about thirty of those sea attacks so far. Some one hundred and seven or more Narco traffickers have been killed.
00:30:41
Speaker 5: In those incidents.
00:30:42
Speaker 6: But there's very few details about this attack inside Venezuela. It is a significant development.
00:30:49
Speaker 1: You know, they claim it was just the fire, that they put it out right away. We know how those of course they were going to say that just came this out for us. Is Maduro Well a year from now, one of the New Year's Day, before New Year's Eve twenty twenty six into twenty seven, will will Nicholas Maduro still be the president of Venezuela.
00:31:07
Speaker 6: Well, I think reasonable people can say for the benefit and the betterment of Venezuelan people.
00:31:13
Speaker 5: We hope not right, right?
00:31:14
Speaker 1: I mean that ye give me, give me this CIA, give me this CIA guy telling me what what where we are in that in terms of removing and replacing Maduro?
00:31:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, well yeah, yeah, You've hit on a major issue. Here is the replacing, right?
00:31:31
Speaker 6: If I had to put money down, do I think a year from now Maduro still in office?
00:31:35
Speaker 5: I don't think he will be.
00:31:36
Speaker 6: I think what will happen is he will either make the move himself because he wants to save his own skin and you know, some ability to say where he goes and what he does, or his his closed circle will will move him out. But the question is what happens after that, And it's not it's not clear cut, right, It's not. There has been an opposition. He stole the last election. You have an opposition technically in waiting. But you know what happens in the meantime. Does the military agree to that?
00:32:03
Speaker 1: Right?
00:32:03
Speaker 5: They still play a role in Venezuela.
00:32:05
Speaker 6: So you know, it's always the aftermath of moving somebody out of a position of power that can get really messy.
00:32:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike Baker, always good to have you on President's Daily Brief. Great podcast. Good to talk to you, my friend. We'll talk to you again soon. Happy New Year and be safe brother.
00:32:21
Speaker 5: Yeah you too, man. Happy New Year to you all.
00:32:23
Speaker 1: Right, folks, We'll be back two and a half over here. Mara Gay. Mar Gay a journalist I'm using air quotes here, who's among the many leftists and biased members of a profession who insist that what's happening well, for example, in Minnesota may or may not be actually happening. Another what you see is not what you see really moment, which is par for the liberal especially media course.
00:33:03
Speaker 7: Watch First of all, if there is fraud there, that should be fully investigated, no matter where it is, whether it's in a democratic led state a republican led state. I mean, let's pull back. So absolutely it should be investigated. The question is, you know, why is this a priority in a different kind of way if there.
00:33:24
Speaker 1: Is fraud there? If have you seen the Nick Shirley video. If you haven't, it's got about two hundred million views, and it really exposes just how widespread it was, how blatantly obvious. It was. Also just a little reminder of what that New York Times writer is made of mar Gay once said this about former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
00:33:45
Speaker 3: But you see it as a possibility. If he wants to spend a billion bucks beating this guy, he could do it.
00:33:52
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:33:53
Speaker 7: Somebody tweeted recently that actually, with the money he spent, he could have given every American a million dollars.
00:33:59
Speaker 3: Got it, Let's fot the screen. When I read it tonight on social media, it kind of all became clear. Bloomberg spent five hundred million on ads. Us population three hundred twenty seven million. Don't tell us if you're ahead of us on the math. He could have given each American one million dollars and I've had lunch money left over. It's an incredible way of putting it.
00:34:21
Speaker 7: It's an incredible way of putting it. It's true, it's disturbing.
00:34:25
Speaker 2: It does.
00:34:26
Speaker 7: It does suggest you know what we're talking about here, which is there's too much money in politics, and it makes it difficult because what we want.
00:34:35
Speaker 1: I hate to break the news you, Margay, and by the way, Brian Williams to dumbasses, because there are three hundred and twenty million people in America. You couldn't give every American a million. You can give him a dollar, not a million, a dollar, justlaw by nine hundred ninety nine, nine hundred and ninety nine dollars. But you're close. Brian Williams and Margay also really entertaining to hear the left make comments like politicized DOJ when talking about the Trump White House, pretending like they really don't understand anything about the irony of that statement.
00:35:09
Speaker 7: The question is, you know, why is this a priority? In a different kind of way, the politicization of the DOJ and the FBI is undeniable, So whether they are reliable narrators is the big question. And this is what happens when you weaponize and politicize federal agencies that are not meant to be, you.
00:35:30
Speaker 2: Know, politicized.
00:35:31
Speaker 7: And I think the American people are right to ask the question, well, can we trust you? And that's a sad thing to say as an American.
00:35:39
Speaker 1: Politicized deal You've spent four years trying to throw Trump in jail, or to break him, to put him out of business, to make him broke, and then you claim that he's incredible, incredible. Another day, another freak out by a Democrat who just hates to have their feet held to the fire for actual crimes committed somehow in their minds. Being held account for corruption or fraud shouldn't be looked into or punished.
00:36:05
Speaker 8: I want you to hear from me first. I'm going on offense against Donald Trump, and I just put senior Trump officials on notice. Donald Trump once again is trying to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his enemy's list. That's me, Adam Schiff, Tiss James, and Lisa Cook. But I'm not having it. Why is he doing this because we had the nerve to stand up to his corruption. Susie Wilds just admitted this in Vanity Fair. She said that when Donald Trump sees an opportunity for retribution.
00:36:32
Speaker 1: He quote goes for it.
00:36:34
Speaker 8: So, yes, the allegations that Bill Poulti has launched against me and others are nonsense. My lawsuit against Donald Trump and his team is not. So we just sent a letter to Susie Wiles telling her, saved your emails, your text messages, everything that records or documents Donald Trump going after his potical enemies. Save it because we're coming forward because we want the truth. What did Trump know? What t DoD he order what did others do on his behalf? We're not going away and the American people are always going to choose the truth over Trump.
00:37:06
Speaker 1: Let's see Leticia James lawsuit dropped, Alvin Bragg lawsuit dropped, no basis, no grounds. Oh, Fannie Willison Georgia dropped. Oh Jack Smith, Federal investigat draw You jerks Democrats through every bs thing at Trump with your lawfair and now you don't want to be held the same way accountable. I think your lawsuit Eric s wallwell, he should turn around and countersue you for frivolous lawsuits. I hope he does. I hope he takes every last penny of your California governor's bankroll. You know, you know Nancy Pelosi thought she was some sort of gangster after ripping up the president's speech, remember that State of Union first time. But of course the Democrat state media wouldn't miss an opportunity to have Nancy talk about that moment yet again.
00:37:57
Speaker 9: I intend to go to speech to cheer it up. But I just the first pick part of it a chour page because he was lying, and then the next phage and then the next page. I thought it was a manifesto of lies all throughout, So I better just tear up the whole stage. Now, the speeches are on a strong paper there, so you have to do it a few times to get it done. But I had no intention of My staff is going to die really disrespectful.
00:38:28
Speaker 1: You're sitting behind the President of the United States, you're the Speaker of the House, and you disrespect the man behind him. Do it to his face. Nance you see what that would if he had seen that and face it. Oh, I would love to see what Trump would have done. Remember how he dismantled Hillary Clinton. Yeah, because you'd be in jail, drops the mic. He would crush you, Nancy. I don't mean physically, he would just do something just to show what a ridiculous, comical person you are. It'll be nice. Francis Collins, former director of the NIH and Anthony Fauci's boss at the time. I'm who's also linked to torturing and killing beagles for medical research. Killing dogs. He was confronted and it was, I don't know, kind of interesting to watch.
00:39:10
Speaker 10: I'd say, doctor Collins, you and Ralph Barrick and Tony Fauci deserve to be imprisoned for the rest of your lives. You have so much blood on your hands. I hope you sleep all at night.
00:39:20
Speaker 2: Any I remember the.
00:39:21
Speaker 10: Name Brian Dressing because you left her stranded after she was severely injured by the COVID vaccine in your study.
00:39:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do know.
00:39:30
Speaker 10: Her name is Brian Dressing.
00:39:32
Speaker 1: Have a good note, Pretty cool. I'm good with that. No violence, no harm, just confronting a guy for some of the crap he did. They were responsible, they were greatly responsible. They were funding the Wuhan lab that leaked the COVID virus around the world, killed seven million people worldwide, a million Americans, and somehow this guy's enjoying a nice dinner. Anthony Fauci. Anthony Fauci's got a preemptive pardon for the rest of his life, earning four hundred thousand dollars a year every year until he dies. Can't happen soon enough, fouch. Jasmine Crockett, Oh, my girlfriend. Jasmin Crockett has some very interesting news on views on what police are supposed to be doing, which explains a lot about why blue cities tend to be so plagued with so much crime and why criminals have no fear of continuing their crime waves as they please without consequence.
00:40:25
Speaker 11: I want to be clear that like law enforcement isn't to prevent crime. Law enforcement solves crime. Okay, that is what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to solve crimes, not necessarily prevent them from happening, per se.
00:40:44
Speaker 1: What No, no, no, You prevent crime so it doesn't happen again. You catch criminals, you incarcerate them, and you show the world so, hey, you want to end up like that guy, go do it again. You're gonna end up just like that is that is you. You don't solve a disease. After you get the disease, you try and do things to avoid the disease. If you don't want hard trouble, if you don't want cancer, don't smoke easy as that period done. But law enforcement is there to prevent crime. Yes, solve the crime for the purpose of preventing more crime. Duh, jazz jazzi. The Left still can't seem to wrap their brains around the fact that investigating and uncovering corruption and fraud is not and should not be political. Should be both sides, right. I guess that's just what you get after four years of the politicized lawfare Democrats waged against all things Mega.
00:41:42
Speaker 12: Because this is about politics. I get that politics is politics, but you know, honestly, you knock on the door of a daycare center and you're like, let me in, let me in. What do you expect people to do? You know in some of those cases there were children in there. What do you want people to do in that situation open the door and say come on in. When they know that the Somali community is under attack, is being threatened every single day. What is going on here?
00:42:12
Speaker 1: Except if you watch again, do your homework, Lady Abby Phillip, do your freaking homework. Watch it's about forty two minutes. Watch the video. You'll see them knock on door after door after door. Windows are all taped out black. Why would you want your kid in a place where windows are taped out black? There's no kids anywhere, any of them. He goes from one to the other. In some you could see one, two, three, all three of them that they were being paid for, up to eighty kids with none. I think he saw one kid on all of these. Do your homework. Just watch the video before you defend nine billion dollars of fraud, waste and abuse.

Speaker 1: Oh write about So we've been reading and listening to your voicemails are amazing, awesome, awesome, great ones, Ben, Can I see the control. Let's see that control. There's the team know. Oh wait, what was it you played? Yeah, so a little background on that. I was taping some stuff and in between, right before the show, mad Dog came over to Backstreet Boys. I was like, what batstreet Boy had no idea, and then they sent me a video of the Apparently the Backstreet Boys are wearing all the white now, which I wouldn't know because I'm kind of like a led Zeppelin aerosmith in the hoof and but okay, got it. Anyway, Ben, I know that you love that song, so can we hear some some voicemail?
00:45:18
Speaker 2: Got cha, Matt, viewer is curious about our grain reserve.
00:45:22
Speaker 3: Hello, Hey, you were mentioning the strategic oil reserve.
00:45:26
Speaker 1: Do we have a strategic grain reserve? Just curious? Just let us know. Thanks by This is a very important question. So the oil reserve is because we use forty million barrels of oil a day. Twenty million come from foreign countries, Mexico Canada being the two biggest, and others Saudi Arabia, et cetera, not Russia anymore, are grain. We have a different situation in grain. So the theory between our strategic petroleum reserve is that if the outside forces stop feeding us the the oil we use per day, we be really in trouble. Oil prices would spike, we would have you know, shortages lines for everything. We don't have that situation with grain. We are a net excess producer of grain. We actually export like metric tons of grain to foreign countries because we are so we are so blessed with our climate, the bread basket of America that those Middle States, the corn of amber, waves of grains, that's part of the anthem for a reason. We are a mass producer of grain, so we don't necessarily need a strategic grain reserve because we are really set and probably will be for eternity just based on our climate location, and two of our fore borders are water.
00:46:43
Speaker 2: Next one, Ben, we have a viewer who's fed up with people living off our taxpayer dollars.
00:46:49
Speaker 13: Hello, mister Merry Christmas, mister boiling. I watched this show quite often. I'm the United States Navy veteran honorable discharge. I want to tell you if you've seen the Somalion podcast of a black guy from Somalia telling white people to go to work, He's from Minnesota, telling white people to go to work so he can have his EVT cards and play video.
00:47:15
Speaker 2: Games all day when.
00:47:16
Speaker 13: US suckers in America white people pay his bills and taxes. I hope you've seen what I've seen. If not, it's got to be on YouTube or something. Honestly, I'm sixty two and I'm not too good with the computer.
00:47:32
Speaker 10: Or nothing, but I watch the show.
00:47:34
Speaker 13: And I'm calling in and please do something about this podcast and get rid of the Somalians that are here. I legally I'm a United States Patriot from Hudson Valley, New York. Thank you, Union worker.
00:47:50
Speaker 1: Union worker, Thank you, sir, thank you for the comment, thank you for our freedom, thank you for your service to the country. I will tell you I haven't seen that video, but I've seen the Nick Shirley video, and i will tell you. At one point, he approaches a woman, a Somalian woman, who was supposed to be running one of these childcare centers with no kids in it, blacked out windows, no kids in it, and he asked there were the kids, and she answers him by saying, I'm not answering you. I'm afraid of you because you're white, and he calls her on it. To his credit, this kid's going to be he's going to be a great journalist. He says, what do you mean you're afraid of because I'm white. He says, you're racist. That's racist, and she said, no, I'm not racism. But it is. It really is. These people are so entitled. They're caught red handed. They've been stealing billions upon billions of dollars and they can't even step up and be American, be human. It's the problem, sir. I'll tell you something you're right about. If they came over legally. There's not a lot you can do. Certainly, the ones that are stealing you get rid of them or throw them in jail. But the ones who aren't here get rid of them. They don't assimilate. We need to teach people. If you want to come here, great, We need more people here. We need more people who were can feed into the system so that everyone can survive and do better. But you have to do you have to live by our laws. There's no Sharia law in Muslim counties. There's no no go zones for cops in Muslim neighborhoods. No, it's the American way of black and it really nice. If you had some sort of test. Do you know the Constitution? Can you recite I don't know, the preamble to the Constitution or maybe singing the national anthem, I don't know. Just assimilate, Just show us you want to be part of this amazing experiment that America is. Otherwise we're going to screw it all up. And it's on its way there. It's really it's scary what's going on, and we're only about it. Whatever. Thirty six hours away from Zo ram Mamdani taking over New York City and boy is that going to be wild to watch? All Right, folks love that song, Ted Nugent, have a great night. Band is up next. Always good to talk to Ban and we'll get him on the horn one of these days.
