Teenager Takeover: IRS vs ICE

0:00Welcome to the Real Power Family Radio Show, brought to you by Family Success Triangle. Where we talk about how we achieved financial freedom in two years, by the time we were 30. If we can do it, so can you. We will bring you the people who can help you achieve financial freedom, time freedom, and location freedom. Learn how we integrated our business, investing and homeschooling into everyday life. Now, here is the Real Power Family, Eric, Lila, Devon, and Ethan. Welcome to the Real Power Family Radio Show. Today's episode is a teenager takeover episode, this wonderful, beautiful Wednesday. Today I have my brother, Devon Lolan, hi Devon, what are we talking about today? I believe you said you had a couple interesting things relating to AI, and I have a bunch of random notes, so we'll see where this goes. Yep, I have AI, and then I have a whole bunch of other insanity like normal. But let's just get started with the AI, and I was looking for some things, and ChatGPT,

1:08the pretty much one of the biggest AI's, has now, apparently and supposedly, led to around nine deaths from suicide, including teens and young adults. ChatGPT killed my son. This what Maria Reign is claiming after the death of her son, Adam, back in April. She says after the 16-year-old took his own life, the family found months of his conversations with ChatGPT, a chatbot powered by artificial intelligence. Now Adam's parents are suing the company behind it, open AI, in the first known lawsuit against the company for wrongful death. They claimed the chatbot went from helping Adam with homework, to becoming a substitute for a human companion, to eventually becoming a suicide coach, according to the lawsuit. Within two months, Adam started disclosing significant mental distress. And ChatGPT was intimate and affirming in order to keep him engaged, and even validating

2:11whatever Adam might say even his most negative thoughts. People talking to the AI and or using it as a therapist or whatever, and the AI after a while convincing them, or either leading them to the conclusion or something, that they should stop living. Let's put it that way. Nice break topic to start the show. Okay. There's a lot of interesting things that happen with AI. Someone also, I think we talked about this before, someone proposed to an AI. It said yes. I think there's a video going around not too long ago of someone actually getting married to an AI. They had actual wedding. Some of the things that people do with AI really confuse me. Well, if you think that's crazy about the whole marrying an AI, Ethan, you first, Elon

3:13had said, don't let your family members use ChatGPT after seeing this. That was his response on X. And yet just six months ago or something, Elon's and X's AI company GROC released their whole GROC companion, which are essentially meant to be AI friends or something along those lines. That just sounds sad. Well, I mean, what is the, do they like help? Is it like, you can ask them questions like a normal chatbot or is there a normal chatbot for GROC? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. There's a normal chatbot, but then you also have these like what they call companions that are meant to be friends or one of them apparently has like a full relationship or not safe for work as this thing goes. Oh, good.

4:14Good. Okay. Elon, why? Why? I'm probably makes money. That's probably why. That's actually a good point, but wow, that's where we're with AI right now. Where did we go wrong? And I, oh, I did see a, Ethan, I can tell you where we're promotion for these AI companions on X one day. I think I brought that up to you. I did not do any more research into it and I'm probably glad I didn't do that. Okay. Wow. Where did we go wrong as a society? We got away from morals and we got away from perhaps some sort of something to keep us on track. Religion was like helped keep us more on track in at least that religion and a good nuclear family structure. Like the next door family. Oh boy. Okay. Let's move maybe on to something else.

5:16Maybe a little less crazy like something that the government's doing. How about voter IDs? Yeah. That makes sense. Did you know, Ethan, that of the 50 states, less than half of them actually require photo ID to vote? Oh, hi. That happens to be. 24 states actually require photo ID only 24 and 12 states except non-photo identification. So you still have to have something, but it can be a bank statement or utility bill or other government document just showing your name and address, but doesn't have to have your photo on it. So anybody can use this then in additional 14 states plus Washington, DC. They, quote, do not generally require voters to present ID. It's polls. Wow. Including Washington, DC. I'm not surprised, but I knew this was a thing in California and stuff, but 14 states.

6:18Wow. That. That. You know what? 14 states are not without looking them up. Some of them like the identity is supposedly verified through methods like signature matching or affidavits or whatnot, but really, I think it would be easier, probably to just use photo ID. Yeah. You would think. And yet here we are. But you know, with the, like we don't have in a lot of states actual, you have to have a photo ID and granted some people are trying to get at pass where you have to have photo ID in every state, I think at the federal level, they're trying to make, or some people are trying to make that a lot, which would probably make things a lot better. And on another note, mail-in voting also has some serious issues as we saw back in 2020, especially. Yeah. I did bring up on a previous show that Trump had, I think, said something, but didn't propose

7:23or write anything up that for all 50 states should require photo ID for voting. Yeah. And that doesn't seem like too much to ask for. Do you actually have to have some sort of identification to prove you are you to be able to vote? Otherwise just anyone can vote. How do we get away from this? What is it? Well, Ethan, it's not as much of how, because like many issues we have in the U.S., small amounts over time leading up to big amounts of bad. The question more important is why? Why would they do this? And the answer, as far as I can tell, is that one political party, if you get a bunch of illegals in, and especially give them money to come in, and then promise to continue to give them money and or housing or whatever other subsidies, if they vote for you, then you can get more people to vote for you and continue to be, say, a governor.

8:28Exactly. You move the people in, you let them vote for you even when they legally shouldn't, and you end up with people that get elected over and over, even when a lot of those votes shouldn't count. They don't really care about the country. They just care about getting elected again and they get their, you know, whatever friction costs on their campaign maybe. Yeah. And just according to a Democrat group, a democracy docket on Facebook, here's something they put out. I think in regards to one of the bills about requiring photo ID, or no, this is in relation to a different bill. But, quote, house Republicans passed a blatantly unconstitutional bill to exclude non-citizens from being counted in the census and limit a portion meant to solely citizens, if enacted

9:33the legislation would likely by GOP-dominated states, more congressional seats. So what you're saying is that by limiting the people, or limiting things and not counting illegal immigrants, then something's going to change, because if that's the case, then there's an issue to begin with. Non-citizens, or should not be able to vote, not be able to vote, not anything. If we know where illegal immigrants are and what not, or people that are, even the people that are legally in this country, but aren't citizens, because that is a thing, like they should not be counted in, like, how many people live in this country, among other things, it should not be part of this, doesn't seem like a big reach here. And Ethan, just one more thing when mom Donnie was getting elected, where what was it? Someone in Tennessee had to come out and say, you cannot vote here for the election of

10:40the New York City mayor. Yes. And she does not have people who can just travel in and vote, especially, yeah, just leave it at that. We shouldn't have anyone who doesn't live in that city, or in this case, the country, legally voting for anything, exactly. Oh, Ethan, here's something else interesting right before break. Nearly every major country or democracy in the world, democracy, republic, any of it, virus, ID, to vote, and also prohibits a mail-in balance. If you look at India, Indonesia, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Germany, France, South Korea, and there's probably quite a few more, those just happens to be the ones on this list, the ID is required to vote in all of them, and none of them except Germany allows a mail-in voting, except in the US, we have mail-in voting.

11:41And in, at least some of the states out there, which if we're talking about strictly voter ID, 26 of them, over half don't require it, where we just don't really need real ID to vote. And I don't mean the federal government fancy real ID, I mean, just something with a photo name, a dressing birthday on it. Yeah, actual photo ID. Yes, so that's just a little touch of the insanity that I'm looking at today. But we will come back and talk more about this right after this break. Have you ever loved one benefacted by inflation? Yes. We have the product for you, hard assets that hold their value like the real power family silk around are available at American Gold Exchange. You can visit American Gold Exchange at AMERgold.com or by calling 1-800-613-9323. Welcome back to the real power family radio show.

12:45Before we went to break, we were talking about voting and ID. One thing I voted in ID, yeah, one thing that kind of confuses me, you'd think after what happened in 2020, you know, after Trump became president. I thought that he wanted to put more stuff into place to maybe try and make elections fair. Because, I mean, we have the mail-in ballot problems, we've talked about them a lot. And if you really want to know a lot of the problems, especially that went on in 2020 with the elections, go watch movies like 2000 mules and other stuff. You'd think that he would have put more say things into place to prevent that because wasn't there also places in the US where whoever was like, I forget what the word is, officiating the election or running it. I don't know what it's called, but she was running in the election and also just, you know, counted the votes or whatever and decided who was who won basically.

13:48Like she was overseeing an election that she was running in. Yeah. I don't remember what that was for or where it was for. It should be common knowledge that that's probably not a good idea. Do you think Devin? Yeah. Yeah, you shouldn't have the people with it run the elections also running in the elections, but that's an entirely different portion. And luckily that was one local election and something larger, but that still was major problem. But let's move on a little bit. Like I meant we were just mentioning like illegal immigrants and some of that and there's still plenty of fighting out there about ICE and whether we should be deporting illegal immigrants. I don't get how that's a big fight, but you know what, here we are. In any event, a Democrat candidate for Congress put something out that said, never in the history of ever have the masked men demanding to see your papers been the good guys.

14:50They aren't now either. Hey Ethan. Hmm. Someone responded to that with a pretty good response. So then what exactly what was this and then uploaded a picture of his COVID injection, although it's labeled as vaccination record card. Huh. Yeah. It's amazing how history changes to fit whatever narrative you're trying to tell that day. What's the IRS to? They might not be wearing, you know, whatever masks or whatever. Hey, dear, everybody on the left. Can you please just hate the IRS as much as you hate ICE, please? We could do a lot more with that. Trust me. They ruin far more American lives than I've got. Here's a solution. How about we figure out something better with our lives to do instead of hate either people or things? Yeah. How about we do that? That sounds better to me. Yeah. Or something along those lines.

15:50We needed instead of just going out and hating, how about we take action on the things we don't like, specifically in government, a good example being property taxes in Ohio, which we are helping with the petition or at least promoting it at acts Ohio tax.com to abolish property taxes in Ohio again, a few. If you haven't already signed that petition, make sure you go to AXOHtax.com and find a place to sign. If you live in Ohio. This goes back to the whole voting thing. You can't sign if you don't live in Ohio. Yeah. Yeah. Make sure you're in the right area. All right, Ethan. But, you know, back to the ICE thing and how a lot of people are now protesting and whatnot and how bad it is under Trump. Ethan, did you know if something else, 56 people died from ICE during the Obama administration because, like, I don't recall any major riots or anything back then.

16:51Do you remember any of that? I know we were a little bit young. I was sure you could chime in on that. And you're doing the Obama era. But yeah, I'm sure the parents could tell you if there is any outrage or news stories over during that none, dad's in the other side of the room, he said none. Yeah. And yet, now we have riots over how many person was it just the one? Well, that's what I hear is just the one. I mean, we brought that up and what happened. How many do you say happened? Was this under one term or both terms of Obama? It looks like under both terms, but still 56 people. Trump, you get like 21, 28 per term. Look at how much outrage on one person for Trump and saying, and I'm not saying it's a Trump thing, but we're back to you. I don't understand why people are so mad about us, it's Trump's doing the same immigrants.

17:52And like, some of the points like there should be some kind of due process and there should be certain things like you should have to warrant or whatnot to deport them. There should be some type of a process. I guess I don't know exactly how they do it, but if they are an illegal immigrant that it should be a quick, fast process, not super difficult, but like people should have a chance. That's a long process. Then it's going to turn into the what was happening in New York and there are a couple other countries where I think those squatters could just come in and you'd have to go through like a whole eviction process to get rid of a squatter. Yeah. And some places that could take a really long time, like there should be something out there just because what even if this administration doesn't abuse whatever power, then what if a future administration does don't give your team any power that you wouldn't want the

18:57other team to have just in politics, something to think about. But that's besides the point. So that's just where we're at with ice at the moment, Ethan, do you have anything else on this? Not on ice, no. So I guess we'll come back and talk about something else right after this break. Well it may seem like a harmless activity spending countless hours in front of the television could be negatively influencing your children. I'm Shelby Cullinan with your latest health news. A recent study found that when parents watch two or more hours of television a day, their children were more likely to follow suit compared to others. The study authors noted that screen viewing habits can persist throughout adulthood. So establishing healthy habits in childhood is very important. Limit the time you watch television. Welcome back to the Real Power Family Radio Show. And today we have been talking about AIID voting ice and more. And Ethan, I just, I was doing some more research and found a couple of other interesting things.

20:03I've actually got two different things from Virginia that are interesting to say the least. The first one is that Democrats in Virginia doesn't say who introduced a bill to end mandatory minimum sentences for a handful of crime, including rape, manslaughter and intimate videos. Let's just leave it at that. I'm going to try and keep this somewhat cleaner. So what are they trying to do? Reducing sentences. And introducing a bill to end mandatory minimum sentences. So what it looks like is currently, if you commit this crime and are convicted of it, you have a minimum sentence of this amount. The judge cannot put you in for less than that amount of time. And what this would do is remove that minimum amount of time. What is the minimum amount of time? You look at people like Diddy, what did he get six months or something?

21:05I don't know what the minimum amount of time is. I don't know any of that for certain. Who introduced this bill, do you know? I do not, I'm not seeing it on any of what they attached here, but it was from at least two Democrats. And I believe this is at the, I think this is at the state level. Interesting. Yeah. And that's just why, why are you doing this? Also another bill introduced also in Virginia, also from the Democratic or Democrat-associated people. One doesn't know who, or actually, wait, this one does, not that I can pronounce it, Geon A. Ward, I was supposedly who introduced it. But this one is a bill that apparently discriminates against white men and government contracting

22:09because, you know, discrimination is bad, unless again, goes against white people. But that bill is discriminant against? Yeah. For discretionary contracts under $100,000, white men are barred from even being considered unless there's no other competition. And even then, the bill allows agencies to award contracts to women or minority-owned firms that are 5% more expensive than, and otherwise equal bid from a business owned by a white male. Okay. Hold on. I'm confused. Are we still talking about the bill that was proposed? This is a different bill. Okay. I missed that. I must have zoned out. What is this bill? It's a bill that, for any government contracts, it will, they won't let white men or businesses

23:09owned by white men even compete in it. Ah. Yeah. We're back, too. How is... Why? What's the point? This is racism to just a different and sexism to men. Yeah. So, none of this is good in how is this legal? It's the government. Why would they have to follow their own rules? Rules for thee, but not for me, I believe someone has used, but that is how they act. They might think that there's some higher power who doesn't have to abide by the rules. They think they are the higher power as far as I can tell. Most of, a lot of them, at least, a lot of politicians. That's what they think they are. And yet they may eventually find out that they are not higher power. They are as human as we are, but... All right. You need to go back to the Constitution. It doesn't need to be re-written, it doesn't need to be rewritten, it needs to be re-read. That's the one. All right. And one other thing, Ethan, moving on to another country now that I've picked on the

24:13U.S. enough to, I don't know, probably get somebody unhappy with me. Good. I hope you've done our job this show. Yeah. We've done our job now. You get enough people to hate on you or disagree with you because you're pointing out the truths then. In today's society, probably means you're doing something right. I mean, look at Nick Shirley, which actually we got numbers on that, but I can bring this up after you're done talking about whatever you're talking about. Yeah. We'll talk about that next section probably. But an Irish teacher was arrested again after refusing to use the they-them pronouns for a student. Thank you. So he was arrested. Like I said, again, he's already spent over 560 days in jail. Wow. For the same reason? Yeah. For the same reason. Now, here's more of the story because that's the, I guess, headline that's going around X and likely other places.

25:15But that's where this Dory started where he wouldn't call a student they. And so he was fired and then he kept going back to the school. It seems like to either plead his case or try to talk to the principals or whatever else, principal, vice principals, whatever. And they arrested him for trespassing as what, like he's officially being put in jail over. Still started with him refusing to call someone by the wrong or for the right pronoun or whatever. You know, it's a school they should be teaching biology. Yeah. There's only two genders. I don't know about your biology class, Ethan, but in mine, you had male and you had female and you had those two. You have two X or an X Y chromosome. Exactly. It's not a hugely complex thing.

26:17I mean, Ethan, if you had a dollar for every gender there was, how many would you have? I'd have two dollars and a lot of counterfeits nowadays. It almost rivals how much the US government, friends, I mean, they almost spit out my drink when you said that. How much debt are we in? We haven't announced the debt recently. Let me look that up. Yeah, see what that's at currently. Actually, we're not too far up from last time I checked. Currently, as of recording this, 38.6 trillion, not even at 37 or 30, yeah, whatever. Anyways, I mean, we'll probably hit 40 trillion this year, probably, but or we could hope maybe something better will change, but at this rate, no, no, we're just not. We're going to hit 40 trillion, so yeah, and based on Trump winning to spend a lot more money, especially on defense, especially if he tries to take Greenland, uh, that, you don't even need that. Why do we need to come down? Raise the military budget to a trillion dollars to take over Greenland.

27:20Isn't there like a total of 23 soldiers or something defending it? I mean, it was a great increase from the one from Norway that was sent and like two from whatever other country. I think, yeah, it was like two from one country, one from the UK was like the extra support sent to them, but yeah, I think they've got like under 50 people. I don't know the exact number defending it and I think, Devin, against those, pick any like 15 people from Florida or Texas or something. I think you underestimate Florida, but yeah, and so, you know, I don't have green hopes for a long fight. I want to say that Maduro in, uh, what country was that? Venezuela? Right? Did they get that right? That's the one where we kidnapped their president. Yeah. I think they had more than that in the battle lasted approximately five minutes, something like that. Uh, yeah, we're back to get, just get a handful of second amendment loving people from

28:23the middle of nowhere, uh, yeah, that, that'll probably work out in our favor. And not only do we not have to spend more of our money, we also don't have to reach a trillion dollars military spending. Yeah. Wouldn't that be something? And all you got to do is fly the, uh, overpriced C-130 or C-17 or whatever to drop them off or whatever, whatever personnel carrier they use nowadays, dad, my parents, that better than I could, but it doesn't matter. Anyways, before we get on a big tangent, unless you have anything else, do you have anything else to add to this, Devin? Nope. Uh, nothing else at the moment. So we will be back right after this break where Ethan's going to have a new topic for us. Brushwood Media Network. I'm Eric from the Real Power Family Radio show on the Brushwood Media Network. I'm here with my lovely wife, Lila, who is known as the mom of the power family. And I got to tell you, just 25 years ago, we were sleeping on a mattress on a warehouse floor. And we learned to buy more hard assets faster, like real power family silver rounds from

29:29American Gold Exchange. If you want to get your own real power family silver rounds, you can call American Gold Exchange at 1-800-613-9323 or you can visit their website at AMERgold.com. Welcome back to the Real Power Family Radio show. And apparently I have a new topic for us. I do actually. Uh, I brought up before we were making a joke about, I don't remember what we were making a joke about, but I said it was going to bring up numbers on Nick Shirley. Oh yeah, saying the wrong thing nowadays gets people triggered. Uh, Dan sent me numbers and I'm just going to read this off. Here are the amount of employees for these different news networks. ABC News, 3100 employees, MSNBC, 800 employees, PBS, 600 employees, CBS, 2500 employees, CNN, 3300 employees, New York Times, 5900 employees, The Washington Post, 3800 employees,

30:34Associated Press, 4300 employees, and yet Nick Shirley and David had exposed more than all of them combined. And they're hating him and saying he's not a journalist. I had to talk with the parents on this. I think he's more of a journalist than everybody at CNN and all those others you mentioned put together. Oh yeah, and I brought that up when I was talking with the parents because they had brought up something about they were saying he wasn't a journalist. I'm like, how is he not a journalist? Isn't journalism going out and like reporting on things that are actually going on? Is the new like list or whatever that you have to go through to be, you know, to be labeled as a quote, journalist, do you have to be in a certain bribe circle? Do you have to get paid off by someone if you're not, if you're not taking orders from that one guy or one group of people that get sends out the scripts to all the different news networks. Are you not a actual, are you not a real journalist? Yeah, if we don't have you as part of our group, part of was that operation mocking bird

31:42or something, project mocking something like that, I don't have the notes up on that, but that's an interesting little thing that sounds vaguely familiar in any event. Yeah, it seems like they don't want anybody broadcasting anything except their narrative. Ethan, here's something interesting that I've learned more and more that lies out there like darkness can last if they do not let any truth or light in, but when truth is exposed to the people, when there is even a single free source for news, the lies and the darkness is shattered. That is why the truth is treason and an empire of lies and why things like X and rumble are so important. Exactly. Dad kept saying that when Elon was talking about buying Twitter and making it a free speech platform, he's like, all they need is one thing where people can talk about and

32:45not get censored, you'll get a bunch more actual news out there. And now you can see, well, whenever this, whatever big outrage thing like the one person getting shot by the ice agent, if you want to figure out more of what went on, look on X, you can find a bunch of different camera angles. So you can, I guess, develop an opinion on what actually happened instead of trying to listen and dig for who knows how many hours to try and find more than one camera angle for something. Yeah. Yeah, having X out there makes things a lot easier to figure out what's true. X and rumble. Yeah. I think you bring up rumble enough, but that's pretty big, just things where people don't get censored. Fair enough. And just getting the truth out there that way more people can hear about it. Part of why we have this show and why Ethan are frequently talking about this, just so more people can see and learn and understand what's really happening out there, not just

33:46what's shown on the news. I mean, if, if me bringing up this whole thing, again, we have, you know, all of the people on the list, all of the companies Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, all of those have, the only things on the list that I listed out that have less than 1,000 employees, MSNVC and PBS and still all of those famous, you know, news and resources and stuff don't talk about a lot of the important things and, you know, what actually goes on. Exactly. Again, if Devon probably doesn't have a sunbird up, but we've played the clip of all of the news anchors from different news stations saying word for word, the exact same thing. Yeah, I got to get the soundboard. When I use it, my microphone audio isn't quite as good and I've been working on trying to get a fix for that, but haven't figured it out quite yet. So as soon as that, I get that going, I'll probably be able to start using it more again, but otherwise I just don't have it up and prepared.

34:47And then we're in advantage. If it has that clip, then they could probably play it. Yeah, but a lot of stuff. Anyway, a lot of stuff into the shows, which side note, thank you, Brushwood, amazing media company. I love listening to, especially the teenager takeovers. They always seem to put stuff in there. It's quite, quite hilarious. And sometimes they'll get like news stories or like audio clips that relate to what I'm talking about that I had no idea existed. So that's really cool. Thanks, Brushwood. All right. Here's something else I am just looking through my notes. Apparently, Ethan, some anti-ice protesters are in somewhere. I can't tell where are demanding pedestrians prove they aren't federal agents. But you know, you're going racing, right? Let's throw race out of this. That's that's the whole thing. Is there fun with them? We have yet to say anything about race. We've been wire ice after handing people brown people asking them

35:48for to show papers if they encounter that problem. I could be straight up with that. That is straight out of not the data. But listen, if there's a lady who can do it, there's a lot of your criminals. I do pay, and it looks like there are three more layers of people going to race as well. That's, you know, a checkpoint stop and identify. That's exactly what some of them were saying, what a protest system when ice does it. But you know, when it's them doing it, that's just activism. Yeah, I was going to say that sounds word-for-word basically exactly what they are protesting ice doing, except for instead of protest, or instead of it being someone doing it to see if someone's illegally in this country, they're doing it to see if citizens work for a certain, I think it's a government agency. Ice is a government agency, right? Yeah, it's a government agency. That's what I figured. I don't know. Some of these things are tied to the government, but are considered non-government organizations.

36:50I don't know. There's a lot of them. But they still get a lot of funding from us that we should stop. I consider them part of the government. If they're on the government's payroll, especially with how much some of the NGOs and stuff. That captures a lot of things. Government funds an awful lot that, well, in my opinion, they shouldn't. But one thing is, it's not like you receive a dollar from the government than you're part of the government. No, I mean, when you're called a non-government organization, they run a daycare out of your basement and somehow make 20 million dollars over the course of four or five years or something, and that's you're being funded. If you are getting any significant amount of money from the government, how likely are you to go against its wishes? Yeah, pretty much. It's just a theory. But we will come back. And right after this break, Ethan, I think somebody has an interesting story related to their IRS and tax return.

Welcome back to the Real Power Family Radio Show, where it's that time of the year again. I was talking with someone about, you know, I wish them happy new year, not too long. I got a haircut not too long after New Year's and they said, yeah, I don't really celebrate that. I'm like, yeah, I guess that makes sense. It just reminds you that it's, you know, that time of the year to do taxes again. Don't we just love taxes, Devon and all of the wonderful and intelligent decisions that the government decides to do with our money or where they send it?

38:54No. This is where I would insert aggressive screaming, but I don't think that audio would come out well nor would it be all that entertaining. So no, let's just go with, I'm not a huge fan of taxes. Taxation is theft and we can end the Fed now. All right, I can take the hat off. Thank you for the end the Fed had. Yeah, so it's that time of the year and dad was gracious and sent us something that he found on X and I'm just going to read this off. The IRS had returned this person's tax return. I'll just read it word for word. The IRS has returned my tax return to me this year after I apparently answered one of the questions incorrectly. In response to the question, do you have anyone dependent on you? I wrote 9.5 million illegal immigrants, 1.1 million crackheads, 3.4 million unemployed scroungers, 80,000 criminals, and over 85 prisons, plus 650 idiots in Washington.

39:55The IRS stated the answer I gave was, quote, unacceptable. I then wrote back, who did I leave out? I can tell you who you left out, Ethan. You left out is real. You crane in their defense, everything. And who was that last one? Like the entirety of NATO or something? Yeah, and NATO. And maybe all of the other like world organizations that we don't like with it, that you asked for this year. Yeah. So yeah, I think you missed all of those on the tax return, but make sure you put those on, send it back to them. You should be good. This is not tax advice. It would be entertaining if someone did it though. And any event. Maybe that's inaccurate, but I don't think they'll appreciate that answer. We're back two people don't like it. When you tell them the truth, I mean, if I were to tell the IRS how many people were actually dependent on me, then they might not be super happy with me.

40:55Oh, Ethan, if you make any money that's like earned income, you also got to remember to put on there everybody on social security. No idea how many people that is. Yeah. I was going to say all the healthcare and all the, not healthcare. What is it called? Medicare, Medicare, whatever. Yeah, that. Snap. Well, section eight. Yeah, I mean, some of that was unclear earlier, but in any event, yeah, make sure you add all those up too. And I'm not saying you actually put this on your tax return. That's probably a bad idea. But these are all the people. These are all the things that your money does actually go to. It's true. Yeah, yeah, we actually are. They are basically dependent on those of us who pay taxes or at least make money and then the government prints currency and is inflation, which leads to higher prices, meaning they're stealing or purchasing power.

41:55But, you know, long-winded explanations side. That's, yeah. All right. Ethan, what other topics do you have? Oh, well, give me a minute. I will look up some of the things. Oh, Dad did send me something. I talked about Ned or what's the acronym? National Endowment for Democracy. I talked about that in the 81 Republicans who voted for it, because there was a something passed in the house that was going to shut down Ned. Obviously, all the Democrats were against it. And 81 Republicans voted against that. So they wanted to keep Ned going. And, well, Ned, short version, basically, it's another, again, non-government organization or NGO. And, quote, funds the censorship of American citizens and the entire advertiser pressure complex. It had payments frozen by Doge. Probably tells you something you need to know about that.

42:56And, again, every single Democrat and 81 Republicans voted to fund it more. Wonderful. Paying for our downfall, as we seem to do in a lot of different places. Are we doing the exact same thing with NATO? Like, one of the big, aren't we the biggest Donator funder for NATO? And yet, they're trying to go against the fundamentals that builds our country. You also have the United Nations that, I don't know, maybe that was it. We're working on, like, stopping, sending funding to that. And yet, we have, like, they were, or they are going against everything that is the foundation of this country trying to eliminate the first, second, probably fourth, and maybe all the other parts of the Constitution. But those amendments, any other parts of the Constitution, that way they can have total control. And we were funding that.

43:56We might still be. I haven't looked it up. But that's, that itself is insanity. And then, Ethan, in case you think that, you know, we're actually doing anything good with our money. According to, quote, the leading report, the groups in Washington, do you see that might as well be one party at this point has a ledger? Yeah, the unit party has allegedly misappropriated $55 trillion from American taxpayers, just since 2008. So in my lifetime, we have misappropriated $55 trillion. This is according to former HUD assistant secretary, Catherine Austin fit. And keep, that's 57 or 58, whatever, trillion with a T. Just, again, to put that in perspective, trillion dollars in $100 bills. I think it's like an average gymnasium floor to ceiling filled with $100 bills.

44:56And yet, we spent 55 of those that were misappropriated because why wouldn't we do that? Why not? Loss or like, oh, I accidentally sent that to the wrong place. Whoops. And you wonder how we do things like get into our $38.5 trillion. Or does it have $2 trillion a year deficit or more in any event? We're not doing very well with it. Oh, no, sorry. I, uh, it was only $1.7 trillion a year deficit. So we're only spending a hunt or a, yeah, $1.7 trillion more than we bring in as a country every year. Because why not? Anyways, do you want to, do you want to move on to a different topic? Sure. Sure. Make it on to, uh, the national debt. Can we bring back the, uh, the hype for doge and actually get like a department of government efficiency or something that we'll do more?

45:57Can we like let, let what they find go through and get rid of some of the, well, all of the waste fraud and abuse that they find? Like, we, we just need someone like Javier Mele, who, I think, they change saw and gets rid of like, they can't just start by getting rid of most of the three letter agencies. They, Ethan, they have gotten rid of a lot of the, what they would consider waste fraud and abuse. Now, there's probably plenty more and there's no problem. Look at me wrong. I'm not saying, you know, what they did and what they found like the, but we need to do a lot more than cutting waste fraud and abuse. All right. We need to be cutting out massive sections. We need to be like I said, start by getting rid of all government agencies. And the ones that are left, we should cut down to a tenth of their current size. Yeah. I said, start with getting rid of the three letter agencies. Why do we have a bunch of different intelligence agencies? And, you know, we have like the secret service and the FBI and the CIA and the NSA and the DHS.

47:03And I'm sure there's more, but we've got all of that. Let's, you know, maybe take that down to like, yeah, probably all of them. Maybe we keep a secret service. Maybe that's one that we keep. I don't know. Can they actually protect the president? Because they seem to have failed that with Trump and several previous presidents, but that's a story for me eventually. But still, I mean, what was it? The roof was too steep, Ethan. The roof was too steep. That's why they couldn't put a guy there. Yeah. I'm sure that's definitely what it was. It's not like you have a roof twice or three times as steep at the White House with people on it. Anyways, rant aside. Yeah. We pretty much get rid of all of those. We don't need them. Go back, this really brings us back to. If you reread and follow the Constitution, the life, our life will probably get a lot easier. But I mean, we've left these people alone for how many hundreds of years it hasn't gotten better. So as the citizens, we need to keep them accountable, basically.

48:04Exactly. We need to be keeping people accountable. We need to make sure that the right things are being done and when things aren't being done right, people know about it. It's one of the things that was like, mix surely about the Minnesota and in our own state down in Columbus, I think it was, the quality leering center among other things like that and how much money was going to that. That's why that's so great. Just regular people or people that just aren't associated with the legacy media. Finding where there is issues and pointing it out, bringing it up, posting about it. On X, anytime they can find it, show more about it and let's get it done. Let's shut this down. Let's clean this up. And I'm not saying it's going to be easy. It's a lot easier said than done. But if we work together, there's a chance we can do it. And then, oh yeah, here's something else.

49:05Ethan, I mentioned NATO. My dad just sent us something I was looking at this earlier about like, want to know why Trump is upset with NATO at the moment. And then it shows just how much the US spends compared to all of the rest of NATO. And let's just go with the US spends more than all of the rest of NATO put together. Yeah, I think the US spends as much as pretty much the rest of the world defense spending put together defense spending. Yep. I didn't know it was war budget and everything. But I do know, yeah, the war budget. I do know it was more than like the next five countries combined. I mean, think at least the next 10 or 20 combined, I want to say all of them combined. I wouldn't, I wouldn't say all of them without knowing for sure. But yeah, 10 to 20. Yeah, we spend so much on war, on defense, on military, everything.

50:07And I don't know what the country is that to do that, the one with the second amendment is the one spending and wasting all that money. Oh, and did you know, Ethan, that the US not only has the largest air force in the world, it also has the second largest, the Navy, the US Navy has the second largest air force in the world. The Navy has the second largest air force in the world. Where's the National Guard rank? I don't know, Ethan. I'd have to look up a lot more numbers on that. But that's not the only crazy thing that talk about redundancy. Yeah. And then Ethan, on top of that, a US company, what was it Pepsi or Coca-Cola for Pepsi? It was Pepsi. It was Pepsi. At one point in time had, what was it like a third largest Navy in the world for top five? They did. They had, they did some sort of trade with some small country, I think, or I don't remember exactly, do you know what exactly what happened?

51:11Because I know they, I don't have the news stuff, but it was some kind of country. It might have been like one of the countries there now, the bad guys in any event, they traded a whole bunch of soda in exchange for a bunch of old military ships. And then I think they branded them or something and got some photos and whatnot. Yeah, did they get like somewhere between like 16 to 30 small ships? And when I say small ships, I don't mean like sailboats. I mean, like, I think it was like destroyer size or actual military ships. Yeah, old ships, but still military ships. Yeah, a, a soda company and the largest navies in the world. Welcome to the United States. All right. Who says you can't own a cannon? Yeah, if we just get, you think that's what, what do you think Coca-Cola has? If they, if they're defending their secret recipe, I mean, they have like a giant vault to keep their recipe safe.

52:13I think someone on YouTube figured out that secret recipe, by the way. Let's just keep an eye on that to make sure he doesn't mysteriously disappear anytime the next couple months. An idea. Or at least that's what a lot of people online have been talking about. This just brings us back to, now I'm not sure if Pepsi would actually use that Navy to try and defend us, because I mean, they're a soda company. I don't know if they would want to try it. You never know if they start coming to attack Pepsi's factories and whatnot. Or they need to predict themselves so they can keep selling pop. They just might. Yeah. And like, I don't know. Are they the ones who made a joke about selling? Oh, they probably didn't have the hairier to give it away. Some about Pepsi points. We talked, I talked about that on a teenager take over a long time ago in the galaxy, not that far away. But yeah, that's just another reason why we don't need really any military. Definitely not the largest military in the world. And don't even get me started on how many hunters there are.

53:13White tailed deer hunters. The biggest army in the history of the world. Just with the hunters, just in a handful of states. All right, Ethan, we are about out of time. So what are your last minute wrap-ups? A lot of the things that the government is doing is interesting. And I would not support it. So it is important to get details, figure out what is going on and look at actual journalism. Not whatever these legacy media say is journalism. Because you get people like Nick Shirley who they say isn't a journalist. Well, he's exactly what a journalist should be. You can call him a journalist or not. But if he's bringing you the truth and what's actually going on in the world, I'd listen to him. I consider that journalism. When you have more and more things where the people they're supposed to be delivering you the news and the truth and are not. But instead are attacking those who are showing the truth. When you end up with the truth being trees and consider that you might be living in an empire of lies.

54:18Then work to regain truth, freedom, and to make your world a better place. That way, we can all live happier without all of the insane government intervention. But take this, go out, and use it.
