Toward Anarchy with Michael Storm, March 28, 2026 Hour 1

0:00We are living in an artificially-induced state of consciousness that resembles sleep. The poor and the underclass are grown. Racial justice and human rights are non-existent. We have been alone with the trans. They have made us indifferent to ourselves, to others. We are focused only on our own game. That is their primary method of survival. Keep us asleep. Keep us selfish. Keep us engaged. You're listening to Tortanarchy on the Republic Broadcasting Network. Here's your host, Michael Storm. Oh, man, it is so good to be back.

1:07Thank you so much for joining me. It's Tortanarchy on Michael Storm. I miss you when you're gone. Well, I'm gone. You're always here. It's me. I'm the one that takes some time for myself. I apologize and mean to do that. I know it's not the right. We're not supposed to do that. We're supposed to be there for everybody else. Now, we're just supposed to constantly be there. Our time is supposed to be constantly given to other things, other causes, other people. No time for ourselves, no time to reflect, no time to know. It can be that way, right? It can feel like that sometimes. It's just a bit of overwhelming and that there's just a little bit too much that you're expected to do for other people. And you don't have the time for yourself. Well, take the time. It's okay. I did last week. I had to take some time to get caught up. Because with the whole father-in-law thing with him fallen and having to get him into rehab and get through that. And now the rehab here in the home and everything that's going on,

2:08nurses and occupational therapists and physical therapists and all this, coming and going on top of all the other things, getting kids to go to college and arranging those documents and papers and looking for ways to actually make it happen to find the money to do it, to get the support, to do it. And there's just life. It's just that. And every once in a while, you need to take a minute and straighten it out for yourself. And that's what I did. But I'm ready to be back. I'm ready to be back into this. And I'm back with a banger of an episode. You know, it's Saturday night. It's prime time. We are all around the world right here on the Republic Broadcasting Network. And I want to make it as big and bad as we can possibly make it, right? Be as big and bad as we want to be. Like Dennis Rodman might say. And to do so, I just have to be out there bringing you the best conversations, right?

3:09And I think I have one of those today. Tanaway Downing is my guest at the top of the hour. And if you don't know who he is, you will know who he is by the end of the show. And you will be a fan. I do believe. I don't think there's anybody across the network listening that will not be a fan of this man by the time they are done. If you haven't already heard of him, he's been doing this for a couple of years. The things that we're going to be talking about. And ultimately what he's doing is taking the law into his own hands. He's taking it directly to the highest law makers and law givers in each of the 50 states. And he is putting them on notice. And after he's done that, then it's onto the Supreme Court. And we'll get into the ultimate. He can explain it much better than I can. And trust me, I'm no dummy on this topic. It's one of the reasons that we wanted to have it. But he is actually been looking at the laws and filing the affidavits and learning the steps and creating the steps as it were in some cases to be able to do these things to be able to defend people from the state.

4:20He's a civil rights advocate and a litigator. And so he's really worked on some of the biggest cases and biggest troubles that we have in our court system over the almost the last last last 10 years, last decade. Before that was into things from the other side. And he woke up one day. He saw it. He saw what happened. What he was doing and that he was doing the wrong thing. And he couldn't look his children in the eye. That sort of thing. And suggest that he was doing right by himself as a man, by them as a family, as a patriot, as a god loving God fearing man. All of these things we'll find out about. Yeah, I'm telling you everybody across the network. You are just going to love this conversation coming up at the top of the hour. Wherever you find us, hit that like button over there. It's Facebook, X Instagram, TikTok now posting on there and on rumble.

5:23Wherever you guys are doing and the comic book reviews, click the like on those two. They're exploding. They're huge. They're everywhere all of a sudden. It's amazing. It's caught up in a matter of weeks to in some cases and in some places. The sort of reach that the show gets that's been here for five, six years. So it's amazing what you can do when you touch on the on pop culture and how you can reach people. And that was the whole exercise in talking about comic books and making it a point to read comic books each week to be able to talk about. Not just speak about comic books in general, but to tell people what they can actually find in comic books specifically and review them. And at the same time, slowly, I've just begun to do this slowly begin to slip in some of those other ideas as it becomes more natural to be able to slip in some of the other ideas that I'm talking about. The things that we talk about in the long form, the two hours here.

6:27And that's part of the reason that it's so popular so quickly and it's so easy because it's easily digestible. We're talking about two and a half to five minutes or so of me talking about something in pop culture. That's easy to sell people for a number of reasons. And so it's awesome. It's fantastic to be able to reach out to a new audience with a new thing without any particular intent on on driving them here necessarily or turning them into anarchists. Like I have that notion that I'm doing that here. I'm just having conversations. I'm doing it in a in a proper, fantastic, encouraging space. That is the Republic Broadcasting Network while we're talking about it, support the network. Click that donate button over there at Republic Broadcasting.org. Now would be one of the best times that you could help out. If you've ever been in a position where you can support somebody, where you can kick a few bucks to somebody for the things that they're doing and help them out.

7:29Well, Republic Broadcasting, the people who are running the network itself. I'm a beneficiary of it like yourself as a listener. I'm almost in the same way in that sense because they require nothing of me. And I'm also not live anymore. I record, I'm pre-recording. I still do the one shot thing. There's no breaks. There's no edits, anything like that. It's just me turning on and watching the clock to fill the time. But that change itself has made it so that I'm not something that somebody has to be there manning the board for that live presentation. I'm that much easier. So I'm just kind of benefiting being on the network. I'm not necessarily a big stress to the network itself in the terms of the things that it has to do from nine to five and running live shows. I become an easy part for them.

8:29But there's still so much about the network that needs to be done, that needs to be managed on a daily basis. And people need to be paid to do that. And it's because of you donating that they can get paid. And I guess things are really tight right now. I was just talking and there was a there's just talk of like there always is with everybody right now. Right. Things are weird. The economy is weird. Money is weird. Everything is kind of up in the air. And it's it's almost like the fog of war. But I will get to this. It's almost like the fog of war. But it's not the fog of war. I assure you it's not the fog of war. But I'll come back to that support the network. Republic broadcasting dot org. Click that donate button over there on the left hand side so that we can have these conversations so that you'll be able to hear what it is. My guest has to say at the top of the hour that I assure you you were going to want to hear. And you're going to want to get involved. I think a many of you across the network. People who believe that you can affect change through the system are really going to be behind what he's doing.

9:34And that's the sort of conversation that we can have because of your support for the network. 8007242719 if you want to talk to somebody about the different ways.

You support the advertisers. They continue to advertise and put some dollars back into the network. Win-win, total win-win. I've always believed that. I've always believed the particularly radio. Particularly effective in talking to people and getting people to listen and getting people to participate.

10:34And to make some change and having a long conversation. That's one thing that we've always been able to do in radio and across the network. And again, I'm just a beneficiary of it just like you are as a listener. I'm a beneficiary of the network and all of the hard work that is put into running the network on every single day.

It just takes that quick second to tap that button with a thumbs up, whatever it is, whatever they call the like. And as always, follow along at TowardAnarchy.com. I asked nothing of you there except that if you want to, I don't know. I never use the email newsletter. I don't reach out to you guys very much. It's just, I guess it's obligatory that you're supposed to have a newsletter and you're supposed to constantly reach out and annoy people.

11:38I do that for two hours every week and you have the opportunity to and so I don't press the email newsletter thing. But it is definitely one way that if anything changes, if things are going on, stuff needs for whatever I can't imagine what that might be. Some major change to the show, perhaps that that's always a certain possibility where it might need to reach it. That'd be a way to do it. Fill out that email newsletter thing, just drop your email address in there and I won't bother you with it. I won't bother you with stuff every once in a while I'll send you something. There's plenty to see there every week when you go to TowardAnarchy.com. And I don't want to spend a lot of time really bashing on this presidency because there's not really any benefit to it. All that you do when you pick on the one side is embolden the other side or that one side immediately assumes that you support the other side.

12:44And that's not the case here. I don't, I have no, there's nothing that's happening in government now under a Republican presidency that hasn't been attempted before. That tells me that there's going to be some fundamental change. They're even going back on some of the things that they've talked about already, some of the things that they sort of lured. There's sort of reasonable people, the libertarians, if you call them reasonable, into the fray and into the conversation, except that it's always a one-sided conversation because the winner is the state every time the winner is the system every time. You want to talk about what we're, that's what we're going to be on all the show today. It's all going to be about how the state is, it's like, like I said, just a minute ago, it's not the fog of war. There is no fog of war.

13:44There's no unknowns that we have going forward that keep us from going forward as a people. We just have people that dive in and they do what needs to be done, and they get things done for whatever their reasons are, and it works. When there's no manipulation, when there's no third party in there trying to change the way we do things forcefully. So I'm not going to talk about Trump and his administration too much, but I am going to point out some things that are relevant and why they're relevant and why I think they're relevant in terms of what you can expect to see going forward through the rest of this presidency into the next presidency.

14:46And presidency is beyond that because that's what we're talking about when we're talking about what is happening now, what they're doing now, what manipulations in markets and in government and in society they're making now, and what they will produce going down the road. What will be the blowback to those things? That's a word that government people like a lot and people who follow government like a lot, they like to use that phrase blowback because it adequately describes what happens when you do things a certain way. And the response comes, and they try to make it like it's a fog of war thing, like they're going to do something that they don't know what's going to happen when they do it, when they talk about passing tariffs.

15:46They speak about them in terms of, well, we don't really know, or what they say is that they're going to make, it's going to make things better economically for some certain sector or for all of America be the big claim at this point. But there's no reason to believe that that's true. We know that that's just a manipulation of market and the way that the market reacts is it's going to adjust and it's going to pass off the cost to people. Whatever business is our taxed tariff, whatever you want to call them, they eventually pass those costs off to other people. And the last time we were here, I went through it a little bit, there's never enough time to talk about it by yourself when you're talking about these things, especially when you don't just want to be this drive.

16:47That's what I found out of it when I was talking about it, about the tariffs and about what they do, the trickle down effect and how it works to cause prices to rise everywhere across the board. And because it is kind of economically dry, and that's why it's a study in, and it's an exercise in study is what it is. You're exercising your ability to study and to understand these things from the long term, from the greater consequence, the bigger picture, all of these different ideas that there's, that what we're doing now has such a great effect on how things play out down the road. And there's the idea that this is, that this kind of happens in a vacuum. It's, it's weird. It's, it's so hard for me to sit here and explain and, and to myself, let alone try to put into words things that I understand them, but I don't understand them because there's such an obvious.

18:03It's such an obvious blowback to what's being done, what's being said, what's being proposed, that why would you do that in the first place when you, if you're thinking at long term at all. And so I gather then that most of these solutions, these things that they're, that we're talking about these things that the president is doing, the things that presidents before him have done. They're all temporary and that they're all part of this weird little game and, and they know this, they know what's going to happen in the long term. There's no fog of war. In fact, that's exactly it. There's no fog of war. There's no confusion. It's political smoke and mirrors is what it is. So they're telling you that they're going to make America better forever. That was something that the president was talking about and his address to, to Congress here the other day that it's we're never going to go back, we're never going to let that happen again.

19:06But how can that be when your temporary, you are temporary, all of these things that you are doing politically is temporary. It completely changes over and over again. I read a fantastic comic book this week and I'll tell you, I'm going to tell you about, I'm going to tell you about two of them. I want to tell you about this one because it is in particular a, a reference or a good view of what it is that we have when we talk about government and populist candidates and their effect on things and really both of the, both of the main books that I read this week have really good references to these things, really good examples of these things. So I read this book called Blade Forger. It's, it's by a couple of guys, the Miranda brothers. I didn't know who these guys were and seen anything that they'd done before. They wrote, they wrote and did the artwork for it.

20:20And this story, the Blade Forger story, it's about this society. It's like a post apocalyptic type of society. I want to tell you that what has happened is that they found this new source of energy. This is a new source of energy called Korim. And so they fight a war for control over it. It's a world war for control over it and generations who knows we don't know how long there seems to be sort of a post apocalyptic appearance to everything. Like this has been going on for a long, long time. And so this, this world war, they finally decide that they're going to come together and it's going to be a one world government and that everybody's going to get under one banner. That's so that nobody controls this new energy source. And so how they decide to do this is they're going to set up an emperor and emperor who answers to the people, whatever, because he, but it's, it's a weird thing.

21:31It's, it's a weird thing to suggest that, that we can do this. You're familiar with stories like this already. There are all sorts of them. What is the, the mocking J, those series, the district 13, all that said, where you have these competitions for leadership or for benefit of your people. Well, in this case, it's the whole world is behind the, the latest adventurer to be chosen to go and face the current leader in this blade battle, this, this battle for, it's called the battle of the five rings. And they, they ultimately had, they have to blades, to forge their blades, their weapons, and they have to fight it out and they have to beat the last guy that was in charge. And what happens is, is that the people, they all get behind this, this newcomer, he's their, their hero, they support him, they help him, they're giving the tools to make sure that he makes it safely to the competition.

22:43And he wins the competition, he defeats the current tyrant. And so we don't, we don't really have a concept of how long this has been going on. But the, the futility of it all is evident in it. If you have any sort of global view, if you're not just reading it as a story and just, you know, just in taking the input, the entertainment of it all. You have a global view of it all, you see that this awada, he's the new champion. He, he jumps in there, he wins, he wins the battle, he takes over and, and all the people cheer it. You know, he was the populist candidate, they loved it. And he did it. He's going to make everything better and, and the new emperor, everybody cheers, the big orange guy, whatever it is, whoever it is. But you snap forward, you jump forward 40 years, and they're tearing down a water statue and calling him a fascist. And he's still, and he's, you know, demon eyes now and he's old and he's, he's withered, but he's still strong and he's still keeping the power and, and it's the story of the ring.

23:55You know, the J.R.R. Tolkien's story of the, the ring and the control and the, and the power and, and it's just a story that it's, it's too much. That's what all of these stories are about. It's too much. It's too much to suggest that you can control everyone. And it's, it's far too much to suggest that you can set up a system of control over anyone. And that it be fair and equitable and balanced and, and judicious. And all of the things that we claim that democracy is supposed to be. And, and what it really turns into is, is exactly what's happened in that blade forge of comic where these people are. One minute they're all cheering for and they all want him. He's the champion. It's going to be perfect. He's going to solve everything. And, you know, next minute, it's been four years later. It's been six years later. It's been eight years later. It's been 40 years later. What the hell difference does it make? How long it's been later when nothing has changed? We didn't get anything out of it. The only ones that are surviving and thriving of the politicians and they're doing it on our dime.

25:00We're the ones that put them there. How, how is it that the population of voting people is ever going to choose someone to rule them properly when they can't rule themselves properly individually? At least that's the claim of a government. That's why you have a government, right? You have to set up a government to control the people because they're not capable of controlling themselves. As I was saying, I can drop in some of these points in these conversations now when I'm reaching people through talking about these comic books and it's a way for me to be sure to be able to keep doing the show every week. If my bills are paid, I don't ever have to worry about what I do here, what I do in my spare time, what I'm doing with my political time, my social time, my fun time, that's what this is.

26:00Like I said, I miss you guys when I'm not here. I like being able to come here and chat every week at you. It's not with you, but I don't need it to be with you and you don't need it to be with you. You can argue with the radio. You can argue back and it'll solve exactly as much as it would if you argued with me directly. Things would resolve exactly the same way because it's highly unlikely I'm going to be talking about something that you would be able to convince me otherwise otherwise I wouldn't be talking about it. One more thing about Star Wars for me every time I turn around, certainly over the last week, I suppose, along with all the other titles I've been reading, there was a new Star Wars title this week. It's called Jedi Knights, they're celebrating the 10 years of returning to the, under the Marvel heading, the Marvel banner there. And that's when I jumped back into comics, that's the long story short. And I've been back ever since and playing ball and enjoying the Star Wars books and trying to enjoy them as much as I can.

27:08I'm not, I'm not even going to comment on the Kathleen Kennedy thing because is she gone? Is she leaving? Who knows? Nobody knows? Nobody. And you know what? Okay, here's my one comment on on the Kathleen Kennedy thing. It takes more than one person to ruin a legacy to bring down an empire. Now I know you believe many of you believe that Donald Trump is that one person that's going to bring down this empire. And I assure you, as an anarchist, as a student of history, as somebody who's been watching and learning for a long time now about these things, it took more than just him to get us to this point. And it will take more than just him. It will take, as it always does in always the case, it's not the leaders. It's the followers that are the real problem. It's the people who give them the power. He can't do anything by himself. He needs other people to do it. And that's my one statement about Kathleen Kennedy and her influence on the, the Star Wars empire.

28:14And it's waning. We'll see, we'll see if it's able to recover. We'll see if it's able to keep going in certain places. It's certainly doing fine in the comic books written by Mark Guggenheim and art by Matabek Moosebeckov. Yeah, maybe. All right. Star Wars Jedi Knights. We meet Vietnam moon crest. It's the first appearance. It's the key words there. Yes. People love that word that phrase. But the Kiyoti Mondes running around Yoda, Mace Windu. They're on peace negotiations and these peace negotiations have broken down. They're on Syring's prime and Obi-Wan is a padawan at this point. He's running around in there as well. So we know this is all pre-clone wars. It's the age of the Republic era. The people on Syring's prime are in an ancient grudge with the people of Vakura. And it's the, what are the Jedi is going to do? They're peacekeepers right there. This peace and justice throughout the galaxy. That's what they stand for.

29:21So Qui-Gon and another new, another first appearance, Baram Kanna. They, they're over talking to the people of Vakura and they finally figure everything out and they get it all set up. But while, while they're there, while they're there, while there's a story, I'm not going to tell you the story of how they, they bring about peace because it just kind of ruins the whole story. But there's something more important that happens while Qui-Gon and Baram are on what the heck was it again? Vakura, yeah. When they're on the crowd, there's a bunch of back and forth and a bunch of split panels and they literally are jumping back one sentence back and forth between conversations as Yoda is talking to one guy and Qui-Gon is talking to the other guy. At, at any rate, Qui-Gon in particular is attacked and there's, there's a mystery set up. There's, and it's unrelated to the, the peace mission. That's what we find out by the end of the book. So I'm excited and anybody who is a fan of the Jedi Knights, the whole peace in order throughout the galaxy thing is going to love this. They're all in there.

30:29The whole Jedi Council is running around and, and checking in and you see new names and new faces. There's, I think there's at least three new first appearances in that book. So that may be something. I know there are people out there that speculate and they buy these things because they expect them to be popular. We'll see where this new stuff is going for Star Wars. There's a new Star Wars main title, do out in May. And I'm looking forward to that. The, the Jedi Knights, it's on your local comic shop shelves right now. If you don't have one of those, reach out to me at amazingfansys.com. I will take care of you. We have about a quarter of a million books in the store. We do free pulls. You actually get a discount 20% or more free pulls there on the new comic books and tens of thousands of back issues there that you can browse through starting at $2 or less. It actually goes down from there. We have some high-end books in the store. It's some really nice high-end books in the store and they change and, and are coming and going all the time. And, and that's fine. But we have all that filler stuff. All those, those little issues that you're missing.

31:38The obnoxious ones that you don't want to have to pay the five, ten bucks for real potential there at two bucks or less. And, and in good condition with a bag and board. That's the way we do business. Amazingfansys.com or stop in the store if you're ever into Pika, Kansas. It's really only a matter of time until somebody actually walks into the store and says, hey, I heard one of your reviews. I saw one of your reviews and heard about the shop. And I'm waiting for that day. It's, it's, it's going to happen very soon now. We already have people doing it the other way around reaching me through the, the show knowing about the, the comic book shop. So it's, it's going to happen the other way around. Just again, you saw right there exactly what I was talking about when I was talking about people pointed this presidency or that president and they, they say he's going to bring down the nation. Again, like I just got through saying it's not him. It's all the people who follow him. It's all those people standing there in that room and cheering when he was having that conversation with, with Congress, but not even them.

32:52It's, it's all of the people in at home on the social media, on their computers, on their couches, wherever they're at in their jobs that are cheering him and, and making every excuse for it. The terrorist thing now is point to another president and say some other president in it. They, they, any of any of these things that, like the executive orders, you know, Trump has passed more than 100 executive orders and taken nearly 500 executive actions of one kind or another. At least that's what he's going around bragging about anyway. Those orders, those, those things. Everybody just points at the previous guys of all Obama did it or Clinton did it or Bush did it or whoever did it. This guy did it. That guy did it. And that's, that's not a solution. That's not an excuse. That's not a reasonable answer. That's dismissing the point. That's, it's completely ignoring what we're trying to talk about.

33:57And suggesting that, that whatever it is, it doesn't matter what it is that whatever it is is validated because the previous guy did it. We're going to have some more about that conversation in terms of the state coming up here at the top of the hour. When Tanaway Downing joins me because that's exactly what happens is they, they, they set within our judicial system. That's what we're going to be talking about within our judicial system. They set precedent and they have stared the sizes in all of these different things that allow them all these different manipulations that allow them to say whatever they want about the law. Do whatever they want about justice instead of following the procedures like we have instead of taking the steps and it's the same. It dismisses the claim that what they're doing isn't going to work that it's, that it's problematic that there's a, that you shouldn't do it because of reason A, B, C, D, E, F, G.

35:01The long list of reasons you shouldn't do it and it's being justified because the previous guy did it. Do you not see where that could be a problem with the idea of power and the idea of handing power from one person to the next on a whim on some magical thing called a vote and just suggesting that we all just have to go along with it in the end. I, I, you could see where that might be a problem, right? And, and then when they're, when they're talking about any one of these things that these people are doing, that these people in office, if you're going to talk about Donald Trump specifically and what he's doing in the office with the passing of the tariffs and it just the reaction, the reaction from the left is so much hatred and it's so violent. It's such a violent rhetoric and it's like nothing I've ever seen before. It is a ratcheting up of the violence that has been, it's, it's been going on for four or five years now.

36:13It's, you know, 2020 and, and through COVID and all that that happened in an unrest and in the lockdowns and everything that came out of that, I think it's an extension of that and it's not going to stop that. There was a big jump, a big ratcheting up. I talked about it a lot at the time, explained exactly what was happening, explained that this was where we were headed. People, and I'm not, and I'm not, I never say anything like that to suggest that I have some knowledge or some information that other people don't. In fact, I have, you know, as much information or less than just about anybody else. That's the reality of it. And, and I don't say that I'm right. I don't question whether it's, whether I'm right or wrong about it. But I question whether the evidence is right or wrong and what evidence I have at hand is what's right or what's wrong. And that, and I think that's a good way to try to approach things if you want to be honest.

37:16If you want to try to find the truth of something and to be able to speak truth to people, I, that's what I try to do each week. And there's, there's this violent rhetoric from the left, but there's a blind ignorance on the part of the right that just is, it just assumes that this is going to happen. That it's all, it's all going to work out. You know, the, the TDS is real, but so is the TWS, the Trump worship syndrome. It's, it's, it's real bad. It's all, it's where these people were, so people were reasonable before. They're suddenly not reasonable anymore because they've been emboldened by the populist candidate. They've been, they've been emboldened by his taking the office. And so now they believe they're right with only half of the information. And, and that's an interesting topic in and of itself. And I share the link up there. If you go to toward anarchy.com, you look for 2509, that's the episode.

38:23We got a ton of way down and coming up at the top of the hour. You don't want to miss this conversation. But scroll down there to the, our anarchist audit. And it's the last link in the anarchist audit. And it questions why do people think they're right about something when they only have half of the information. And is that actually a good thing? There's a recent study that looked at people who assume they're right and why they might think they're right. It's a small study, but it's an interesting study with some interesting implications because it presented it presented the data that they're talking about in a sort of binary presentation. And there was no, it's like democracy itself. It's, these are your choices. We either do it the way these guys say we're doing it or we do it the way these guys say we're doing it. What in fact, it's actually both of them doing something together in conjunction that is making things work.

39:23And that's what they sort of lay out in this little study here. And there's some interesting findings in it that point back to that that blind ignorance and, excuse me, that exists right now on the part of the right. It's like all of a sudden they've forgotten that it's still government, that it's still socialist, that it's still a bunch of people who are meddlers, manipulators. People do gooders at best, they're do gooders. They're the people who just want to interfere and make things a little better for everybody else, except that things not for everybody else. Nothing is for everybody else. Everything is for everybody when they choose what they want to do. And when they're not violating other people or other property, and then we have no problems. And we don't have societal ills on the level that we do today. Those ills, they're reduced to actual problems.

40:25There's no excuse about society as being the problem about a general sense of society being a problem or the direction that society is headed as a problem. Because that comes from the manipulation. That's a result of the manipulation. If you see the way that everything pulls away from government in terms of what they control, look at the marriage thing and the control over relationships that government has classically had in a very real way. And how it has perverted relationships because government has said that in the past that things are certain, and they're doing it again, things are a certain way in that they have to be this certain way in that they can't exist outside of the paradigm that we've set up for you. It created a schism within the society. It creates a schism within the people themselves who still have, quote, normal relationships with other people of the other sex, whatever, normal healthy relationships that produce offspring that when the people stay together produces great families and solid family units.

41:48They have a basis for caring for each other and all the things that come along with stability in the home and in relationships and government forcing the ideas of what relationships could be and what a home should be is what helps create the schism. If you want proof of it, I can show it to you in comic books. I can show you how they've been talking about the same damn social problems since before my time in relation to government manipulations over information, over markets, over relationships, over everything that government, everything that the great orange wonder has jumped up there and said that he's going to do for everybody. All of these changes, these manipulations, these executive orders, these things that he's doing to force people to do things the way he wants them to do and then he wants to take as much of it as he can and make them into law so that they can't be changed like I was talking about initially there by the next person coming through.

42:53But that's just not the case because he sits there and is his address to the Congress here and he says how they're not going, we're never going to let that happen again. The only words that those, the only idea that words like that support is an idea of dictatorship is an idea and not just the Roman name for dictator, the actual sort of resulting guy that doesn't give up the power, the system that has allowed the guy to justify his way into, to executive way, his executive order his way into staying in power longer than he should for the years, for years, eight years, three terms. I don't know what it is, there's no magical number, there's no magical formula and that's what I was trying to say when I was talking about the Star Wars book and Kathleen Kennedy and the idea that she is not what destroyed Star Wars.

44:01She would have been the head of it, the face of it, but she's not what destroyed it, she's not the one, she can dictate everything that she wants to people, but somebody has to do it, somebody has to follow through on it. It's the same with Donald Trump, it's the same with him, but we get closer and closer every time one of him gets up there and starts saying well what I can do is, I don't need the Congress is, what I can do signing this is and you will do it. And I will make it a law and we will never go back to the way things were before, that's dangerous rhetoric. That's the type of rhetoric, that's the type of government manipulation and interference that drives pushback, that drives the ratcheting up and it's equal from both sides, they both do it because you have to have an equal or greater response to pushback the next time and that's why it ratchets up. It's not going to last forever, it's all going to pop eventually.

45:0590,000 factories that we lost are going to come back, that's economic myth, that's manipulating reality, they got sent there from manipulating reality the last time. Trump is right about one thing when he says though that the left will never be happy about it and I give you a really good example and this is why I said I don't want to really bash this presidency per se, they're all useless, they're all worthless, all presidents. With the best of intentions, they're all still dangerous and they lead something, they head up something, they have too much power, it's too big and we're too small and we're too unimportant as individuals to that giant thing and that's a serious problem but he's never going to make people happy on the left. You know that I don't have any delusion about how this ends up historically but it's the kind of nonsense you get from this local rag here, KSNT News, the local web rag version of it anyway, it's a television news station but they do stories on the web and AP stuff, things like that.

46:25Not a lot of actual reporting of their own, just a lot of parroting, the crap that has been reported in other places around the nation and that's a problem with local news across the board anyway. But what they've done is they've taken this view that no savings is expected from nearly 40% of doge's canceled contracts and this is an associated press article but it's posted in the local KSNT so they're just furthering a particular narrative and that narrative is that 60% of cuts isn't good enough to get back to save from 60% of what they've done. That's not a good thing. They're concentrating on the fact that the 40% that's not going to work instead of the 60% that's going to work. There's problems with that whole thing across the board. That's the whole idea of good enough. That's the whole idea of you're voting to make change instead of actually getting up and going and making the change.

47:36And it's the sort of thing that creates the necessary division that ensures that centralized authority that the system itself will continue to exist regardless of who is in power and that what happens is that ratcheting up and that they the system becomes more and more powerful because it has to become more and more powerful to protect itself and it protects itself because it claims it's protecting you and you'll go ahead and go out there and vote for it. As soon as they put on the right wig, the right mask, the right costume to make you stand up and say, well, God damn it, now I'm a patriot. That's right because that's the way we should be doing things. This doesn't work. It has never worked in the history of mankind and it's not going to start working now all of a sudden when you start ignoring the economics of things. That was the whole point of it with the 90 k factories coming up. That's an economic it's an economic manipulation. It means that you're going to manipulate manipulation and you're not even going to you're not even addressing the problem that caused the problem in the first place.

48:40The high taxes, the regulations, he talks about I'm going to eliminate 10 regulations for every new one that they that they enact. How about don't enact any of them? How about don't enact any new regulations? How about just looking at slashing? How about just looking at getting rid of the barriers to life that government is from across the board, whether it's our individual health, whether it's our economy, whether it's our businesses, whatever it is, get them the hell out of it. Because then there's no room for them anymore. Then they're gone. Then there's nothing that sustains them. And so what do you do? You come in for your short term for the time that you're in there, you slash, you burn, you chase everybody out that's else out that's a bad egg by your definition of a bad egg. Literally still doing the same things that the bad eggs are doing, but you're doing it for the right reasons, nicks and quotes here, the right reasons, that's what you're doing.

49:44And so you justify it and you continue to justify it and nothing changes. We can look at the economy. The employment numbers are up for February. They added about 25,000 or so more jobs than the average economist idiot. Sorry, I repeated myself. It says that they're going to add, which we know means that they're off by probably 60,000 jobs or maybe even as many as 100,000. And it's funny because if you read the article that I provided, they actually talk in there about a particular group of economists predicting only 25,000 jobs with a month of February. Well, we know that they're going to adjust all of these numbers. And we know just from the fact that the president himself has cut tens of thousands of jobs, supposedly, I guess many of them don't actually take effect until September. It's all just a game. It's all just smoke and mirrors. It's going to look really good on paper as often as they can make it look really good on paper.

50:48But out here on the ground, nothing is changing. Nothing is changing because they're not going to stop taking the money from us. They say they're going to give us back dividends. Dividends are something that you get back when you've invested in something and that investment is paying off. Well, we didn't invest. We were robbed and that money was spent. That money is gone as it is. So you had to get it from somewhere else. You produce nothing. You make nothing. The government doesn't create anything. So where does it get its wealth from? It either prints it or it takes it from some place else. Some other productive space, whatever it is that forces you, you might think it's a good idea to force foreigners to pay for us. Do you know how do you get how small America is to the rest of the world? Do you understand that there's not a limit on the way they can raise prices on the way they can sell something over there on the way they can raise taxes on the way they can make us pay for all of these manipulations

51:50that they're doing? It's just so obvious. It's so obvious. And it's a bit silly because you continue to just get the lies. And you can just look and see that the lies are lies. All you have to do is just put that I guess that's what happens that you're left and you're right and you're right and they're wrong. And that's all it is. And you only have half the information because you're not even listening to the other side. You're not even paying attention. You just, you just go with the flow. You're powerful when you're in power and you're a victim when you're not in power. And nobody. None of the people that are honest about this stuff are even participating in it. So what we get as we continue the ratcheting up and the pullback, the pushback of government to its own initiatives to make government better.

53:08Wow, it's such a circular thing. Boy, I'm going to give myself a headache just even thinking about it. It's just so bad. When you can just look at every single aspect of something that's happening and go, okay, well, that's great. But what about what's it do for us? It's the two genders thing. That's been a big thing. Okay, what does two genders mean, though? Two genders is meaningless to everybody that's a person because they either already know that they are the gender that they are. Or they don't believe that there are two genders. So there's no advantage to making a statement as a politician, as America, and taking a position that there are only two genders. There's no value in doing it. There's no value in government doing it. It's just making a political statement that's going to cause a greater schism and a greater division in between the people,

54:16because they've already accepted one position or the other. They don't need government to do it for them. What they need government to do is slash the goddamn programs that take the money that gets spent to give somebody anybody. I don't care who it is. It doesn't matter. Some surgery that is optional, that is morally questionable is anything other than necessary and that I should have to pay for it. And anyway, even if it's only pennies that actually come out of my pocket, or if it's even no money that really ever comes out of my pocket, just the notion that at some point, if I did have enough money, that they could take it from me and give it to somebody else. And he reads off this list the other days, going over these different things about the dollars that they're saving us. 60 million on this, 22 billion on that, 45 million on this, and it's 8 million on gay sex education in Africa and some little play.

55:20It's all these very nitpicking specific little things like that that he would really comment on that I notice when he was talking about it. And that to me tells me exactly what I'm saying here is true that there's this push to make it appear as if government is doing. This this great and wonderful thing I'm talking to you on the right right now that it's doing all these great and wonderful things which are not looking at the long term you're not looking at what is actually going to benefit you as an American to benefit us to make us freer as people to do what we need to do to survive as a human race and to and to continue to exist and do what we want to do on a day to day basis. Without somebody coming in constantly and telling us that it has to be done another way that it has to be done their way for their specific reasons.

56:28When when do we get when do I get to see the so called conservatives in this nation the so called libertarians in this nation stop submitting to the system stop compromising stop suggesting that there is a compromise on freedom that there's you can have a little bit of slavery. It's as possible as being just a little bit pregnant right a little bit of slavery is acceptable especially when you call it taxation when you give it a fancy name when you call it something other than what it actually is you use a wonderful euphemism government is fantastic about that. Let's make America affordable again how are you going to do that what is it that you're going to do that makes America affordable again by forcing people to pay more for products. Short term that's how you get away with it you get a short term appearance you get an ignorant population you get a whole bunch of people that aren't paying attention on top of the ignorant population the ignorant population are you people that actually vote the morons that actually think that this stuff works you're the ignorant people in this scenario because you keep showing up at the polls and you keep voting and we keep going back and forth while the the economy continues to go down while society.

57:57It continues to degrade and to generate I don't know what to tell you anymore than it's your fault because you're the ones that empower government because if you didn't empower government they would actually have to force all of us to abide by what they want us to abide by and and that would of course expose them for what they truly are. They're exposed every single day and in every single way in this matter but you have to be paying attention to you have to really be watching you can't just be a normal person with even just a rudimentary understanding of what happens in our political system and that's what most people get if they get anything of understanding about our political system by the time they get out of these compromise schools. And you talk about the banning books. Did you know the IRS publicly admits that income tax is collected by voluntary compliance? Get the information you need to help you avoid income tax with these five easy steps. All you have to do is go to avoid income tax for themselves. That's what a pre-society is for and ideas aren't actions. That's the way our society is supposed to be.

59:17This is what common law is supposed to be. That's what our justice system is supposed to be. Whatever weird amalgamation of common law and Roman law and English barrister law. It's just all these things mixed together that it's become what we're talking about is not violating other people not violating other other people's property and we're not what we're not doing when we're talking about all these things that government is doing is we're not talking about striking at the root right we're not talking about getting to the root cause or the root problem and that's going to be my contention that's going to be my problem with this system with this current administration with the next administration.
