It's incredibly insidious. And then add to the fact that he can't put two sentences together and he's largely not in control of his own government. And so you have almost an unelected president with individuals behind the scenes that are doing this. It doesn't surprise me, though. I mean, these are the same people that have weaponized the Department of Justice, have the lawfare.
I have a colleague of mine, Jeff Clark, who's, you know, they're trying to disbar him because of the care that he had on behalf of the president to deal with voter integrity and election fraud after 2020. And so the system has thrown everything at the warriors that are on the field. You're seeing that with Tulsi. You're seeing that with Matt Gaetz. I mean...
why why is all of this stuff being thrown at him slanderously can i just say i thought i'm sorry to digress but since you mentioned gates we don't accuse look
I read in my Bible this morning that you don't believe something unless two or three people are witnesses and say, and there is none of that. Let's mosaic law right there. And in fact, the weaponized Department of Justice said we don't have the proof to pursue these allegations. I know. And so then you read in the story.
They accuse it. They make the case. The reporter I read it this morning. And then they say it should be known that Matt Gaetz denies that these allegations has occurred. Of course he denies it because they're not true in the Department of Justice. There's no accounting of the fact that these things have been proven not to be true.
And yet people – and there's a tendency on our side, and this is very troubling. It's not just the left, which is kind of state regime propaganda. there's a tendency on our side to believe that if there's smoke, there must be fire. Why do we do that?
Why do we, why does our side, why does Republican congressmen, Republican senators believe that where there must be smoke, there must be fire only because this person has been a confrontational, courageous, convictional leader, uh, And in a true generational talent, I might add.
I think that is fundamentally, it's twofold. I think the left is made up of revolutionaries. For sure. Right. And they're Marxist. If you've read Witness, everyone knows that, right? Like that's not a new phenomena. It's become militarized over and over.
So now what that looks like is not someone who's a behind-the-scenes spy. Now that looks like, you know, some of their members of Congress, right? Like an AOC. Their Marxist revolutionaries are voting in Congress. So that's their side. And our side doesn't really grapple with that. We don't make every decision realizing like that's what they think and that's what they're doing.
So I'm not going to listen to what they just kind of chit chat conversation. I'm going to to govern and make decisions based on what I know they are pursuing. Know your enemy. Secondly, we do have trust in kind of. The media and the institutions like Tony Fauci can't be lying, right? He can't really – he must not have been doing gain-of-function research if he said he wasn't.
He's Tony Fauci, right? Like that's what we were up against. It's totally true. And that is the wrong – you've got to have a skepticism to all of these people and their institutions and their bureaucracies.
I believe that there's a lot of policy issues downstream, the border, inflation, wars across the world. All of them are downstream of one reality, and that is we don't, the American people currently are not in control of their government, and the president hasn't been either.
We have to solve that. We have to solve the woke and the weaponized bureaucracy and have the president take control of the executive branch. So my belief for anyone who wants to listen is that you have to, the president has to move executively as fast and as aggressively as possible with a radical constitutional perspective to be able to dismantle that bureaucracy in their power centers.
And I think there are a couple of ways to do it. Number one is going after the whole notion of independence. There are no independent agencies. Congress may have viewed them as such, SEC or the FCC, CFPB, the whole alphabet soup. But that is not something that the Constitution understands. So there may be different strategies with each one of them about how you dismantle them. But
As an administration, the whole notion of an independent agency should be thrown out, particularly with the Department of Justice, in which there's literally no law. All it is is precedent from the Watergate era that the attorney general and those lawyers don't work for the president. And who do they work for? They think that they work for themselves. They think that they are.
I mean, they believe that they have the power for for all of the the prosecutions and that the president doesn't get a say in any of that. And we have to go at that as hard as we possibly can, whether that's the military. We have a whole military industrial complex of generals. And Tommy Tuberville kind of exposed this this last year with a fight about life.
But it really became a fight about whether we have a essentially – a military that is not subject to civilian leadership. So you can apply the concept of destroying independence at every agency. I even saw it in aspects of OMB with regard to who gets to make the decisions on statistics, right? Like there are little pockets of independence that have to be just, we got to remove those, right?
They're unconstitutional. Number two- So I am not a huge fan of the Fed. I can't I can't look at the Constitution and the massive decades long decisions that they have made totally undemocratic and and see that that is a place where there deserves to be an exception for.
No, because they're wrong, and they've been wrong for decades, right? Right. Let's go to zero interest rates for 11 years, see what happens. And see what happens. So President Trump hasn't run on that, and so I'm not going to speak.
No, and to give you an example, if you go on TV, if you were watching news, you're going to have seen in the last two years Ads saying oppose the Fed's regulations on capital, bank capital. Right. Well, who are they supposed to call? They're not calling a congressman. Congressman has no power. The issue is like the call to action is against the Fed. Right. Well, sorry, you're kind of out of luck.
