This is Ed, back again with another video shout-out to everybody on Patreon and Subscribe Star. Thank you for your support. We'll be able to keep on going without that, obviously. So let's get right into it here. Here's Donald Trump, and this is Patrick Bitt Davis. He's going to talk a little bit after Donald Trump talks about the stimulus. Well, basically, $5,000 checks for every adult in the United States. Let's take a look here. is my promise. If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Can't do that. Can I do that. I'll tell you why. So, you know who else disagrees with Amanda Zvinnie? On October 30th of 2012. Uh-oh. He said, don't let Obama buy the election by handing out unlimited free money to states. So you can't do that for a couple different reasons why you can't do that. We can say $5,000 to win an election. The Democrats in four years if they win, or 10 years or 15 years can say $50,000, $100,000, then what do you do? Then what do you do if they say, I'm going to give you $100,000 annuity? I'm going to give you a half a million dollar annuity. You cannot buy elections this way. is the thing, what do you do if they offer you $100,000? A lot of people would just probably just vote for the party that paid them the most. Maybe that's a more honest way to do it anyway, unless you get something out of it. As far as I can tell in terms of politics, and I don't think most people would disagree with that. No matter what country you're in, it's largely meaningless who you vote for now. Because... There seems to be zero relationship between what they campaign on and what they do when they get into power. They all just carry out the same agenda, usually of the World Economic Forum, at least in the Western sphere. Doesn't matter who you elect. Someone on Twitter said this, as a person from the media, said, since becoming president again, Trump has promised 5,000 stimulus checks via... are Doge dividend, a $2,000 stimulus checks via tariff dividend, $1,000 plus checks via savings from expiring ACA subsidiaries, and a 5 ,000 dividend check now, if the Republicans win the midterms, that is the House and the Senate, he states. No checks have ever been issued. Now, remember the tariffs, people think, they think, I know, because I talk to them, I have a number of American friends, and they state that the tariffs are actually, that the companies are paying the tariffs, right? The companies are paying the tariffs, such as, you know, Nintendo is paying 30% more or whatever, right? They have to pay more in some kind of equation. Obviously, that's not true. It's the customer. That is the American citizenry that actually pays more for all those goods. It's a type of tax without saying it's a tax. That's the reality of the situation. So, yes, there is money accumulated from that, but it has nothing to do with the companies themselves. Now you can argue about the strategy, maybe the strategy is fair, right? If you want to incentivize people to buy American products, make sense. But you, the consumer, are the person paying more. This, of course, is problematic because businesses are tied into China. You open up a store, you're selling plates, and you're selling whatever, clothing. It's all coming from China. Because it's cheap. I know, I bought my mic, my team me Mike for $15. Just the reality of it. And the worst the economies get in every country now, the more inflation there is, the more emphasis there is on buying something that just gets you buy, right? You're not going to buy the really expensive piece of equipment where you can get something cheap. Thomas Massey said in regarding this, I don't know about you, but frankly, I've insulted, he's insulted, by the notion that my vote this November could be bought for $5,000, not to mention the inflation this would cause. All things considered, I cannot in good conscience, accept a penny less than 10K, which would probably be what people are thinking. I'd say, most people would vote for $5 ,000. other people would say, you know, 10,000, 15, but what limited is. Not really a high ceiling, is it? If there's an incentive where if he wins, he's saying the House and the Senate now, if he wins, that he'll give you $10 ,000. Will he? I think the chances of you're getting your $10,000 looking historically at his... prior promises is basically zero. And he also has stated that the war will be over shortly after the midterms. You know, it's a difficult one to predict in regarding the midterms. As I said before, everything comes down to who counts the votes, obviously. But you need to maintain the perception that you can win. Now, for instance, one of Donald Trump's picks, Randy Fine, who is, you know, a big A-PAC person, big supporter of Israel, and had a lot of people lobbying against his candidacy there, and he was running, and Dan Valzerian, that's how he pronounce his name, you know, don't know much about the guy, just know he was running against Randy Fine, and he's largely an anti- I guess, A-PAC guy. So, and it was similar to they were even, and then there was some kind of midnight, wasn't at midnight, but it was like this, this drop, huge drop of votes came in, and, you know, this hockey stick graph once again for Randy. It really does come down to, you know, perception. You need to maintain a perception that you can beat the other people. Apart from that, I mean, I'm not sure that... Well, mostly I'd assume it's who counts the votes, right? That's why certain systems are kept porous on purpose. So anyway, there is it. Thomas Massey is demanding 10K. Now, here is what readers put on X. They said, the president of those states has no constitution or statutory authority. to issue a dividend check on behalf of the US government, only the Congress can authorize and appropriate those funds. So he doesn't have the power to do it. You've got to admire his Moxie, though. Is it Moxie or is it just like he's, you know, a skilled, he's skilled at it, whatever you call what he does. He's pretty skilled at it, isn't he? He is skilled at those things. And as Patrick Bet Davis said on his podcast, you know, why not have the Democrats offer $50, $100,000 in the future? What they should do is offer a million. Why not just set people up with a life, give them 5 mil? I mean, the debt ceiling, is there really one? Not really if you keep on raising it, and not really if you just keep on printing money. Hyperinflation? Probably. That $5 million or $1 million will probably buy your candy bar at the end of it. One specific issue which has people wondering is what do all of the, what is all the data or the metrics showing in regarding... Marga and Donald Trump and a support base. Is he anywhere near as powerful as he once was? Now, if you ask me, I would say, at a guess, I'd say it'd probably be at about 20% of what he used to have, which is quite low. And if you look at the stadium, or not really a stadium, I don't know what you call it an arena, where, you know, Trump was and everyone, all the Republicans were lobbying for votes, JD Vance, showing up, etc. By the way, when J.D. Vance showed up, he was acting like he had no power. He goes, what are we going to do? No, he wasn't saying that. It's like, you know, what we need to do is this. What we need to do is this. You know, all this kind of stuff. Like, he's not vice president of the United States. He's just some guy. That was impressive. Alex Jones had this to say, though. He says, Trump says the mid-term convention was... quote, broken, broken records for attendance. He goes on to say, the truth is, the second and third level of the arena were almost completely empty, even when he spoke. And this is confirmed by numerous amounts of videos, which is cross-referencing when Trump's speaking and then panning around the arena. I wasn't even going to cover this until Trump ridiculously made an essential issue, and his apologist, and his apologist attacked everyone pointing out his statements were not true. I hate the Democrats, Alex Jones says, because they are a mindless cult, and I am doing my best not to hate the sad carcass of Maga. Well, let's have a look at the video that Alex Jones is talking about here. Let's blow this up a little bit. You can already see the empty stands there, just in that. still image. Let's play it here, let's take a look. Oh yeah, mostly I'll say empty. We've got other images to confirm the emptiness. they're all in cup so you can see this... I mean it's really kind of quite small all these seats empty all these seats empty all of these are above largely empty okay largely empty and you can see all this is empty Now, it didn't matter what Donald Trump did back in the day, where there was, you know, a stadium or it was a small like arena thing here, or an amphitheater, I guess, is probably, classically, what's known as, it would be packed, right? It would be packed to the rafters with people trying to get in. And this is what it looks like. This is what a lot of people, the Maga base, feel like they're betrayed, on numerous levels, you know, not even inside for yourselves, whether it's Epstein Files or Iran War or whatever. Fort Knox, audit, remember that old chestnut. and you can list them. I mean, many people can list them, but this is the effect of it. Things have a cause and they have an effect, but you have to maintain perception that you can win. And that's why they will never claim ever that stadiums are not full. It doesn't do them any use in order to claim that. So it's always, you know, an exaggeration, you know, packed to the rafters. And that, of course, is not true via information, right, via the information you're getting. See, there's a close up there, all of those are empty, as you can see up the top there, those seats. So, here is another one, let me just, that one. Here is where Alex Jones. Now, Alex Jones did have, let me just get that, actually, just one second. I'll just grab it. Okay, so here we are just looking at this. So here is the clip itself. Now, Alex Jones put this together, and just like... You can see that the tops there, the rafters, largely it would seem empty. Well, let's play it anyway. No, we had it recently. You can see all the empty seats here. I mean, there's some people in them, but they're largely empty. You can see, literally, the empty bleachers here, so on and so forth. Raise your head and give up your seat, I put it. All that's empty, you see all that? All empty. Now we have an amazing response. They love our part. Cool us. All of that's empty. They love what we're doing. In 55 days, Americans will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections in our country's just... Obviously, I don't need to go on about this. You can see the empty seats. The roo keeps his overtime. and the retiree in Beaville, well, she keeps her entire social secure chat. All of this is empty. You're going to see it's, uh... Yeah, I'd say it's 80% full. Nothing to be ashamed up. Just don't say it's all sold out. 100%. Don't go to the bathroom. Every seat's got to be full. Why do that? I would not say it's 80%, but I mean, that's just split in here. I'd say probably a few amount of you put that together. I'd say like 70. 70%. And those are all the people that obviously... are the huge enthusiasts, right? You don't win anything with just a bunch of enthusiasts that'll show up all the time because they, you know, want your autograph or they love you, right? You win things by having the general population, not just the outliers. if you are having a massive decrease in your most enthusiastic base show up, in a small location like that, then that is catastrophic, right? That is catastrophic, because it shows you even like your most advent supporters are now not showing up. And that is a very small location. So, Anyway, that is that. Also, here's Robert Barnes, of course, well-known lawyer, saying of the Epstein class, by the Epstein class, and for the Epstein class, this is where Max Lumenthol, who happens to be a journalist, I'm sure everyone is aware of them. stating that through the neo-colonial Venezuelan oil deal, Trump's Pentagon has taken a 35% stake in the company of Epstein associate, so on and so forth, whose former business partner advised Jeffrey Epstein and visited his island. That surprised me? No, he's surrounded by people associated with Epstein, including Lutnik. So here are some news that... is significant really depending upon the damage to the pipeline so what's happened is Saudi Arabia is one of its main pipelines you see information there on screen the east-west pipeline was struck by drones coming out of iraq again you can't protect it unless you want to like put wire mesh over the entire thing but Maybe that protected, I mean, they did do that with a number of their buildings in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. They're meshing them up, critical infrastructure, etc., which makes sense to me, right? If that blows up, then, you know, we've got real problems everywhere in the world. But nonetheless, Yemen has struck Saudi Arabia through proxies in Iraq. The only remaining pipeline for exporting oil from Saudi Arabia, the pipeline carries crude oil, so on and so forth, bypassing the straight. And it was struck, and there was these satellite photographs that came out. I don't know the legitimacy of any of this, but apparently looking into it, it was the pump stations that were struck, a couple of pump stations or something like that, maybe some damage to the pipeline, but not significant enough to wipe it out. That's what I found looking into it. I don't know how accurate even that is, but that's what it kind of looks like. And so what that means is you have damage to the pipeline but repairable, you know, I guess no one would ever want the pipeline taken. you know, completely taken offline, i.e. the spice must flow, right? The spice must always flow. So that's what happened to the pipeline. Now, as I said, it seems like a couple of pump stations and some maybe damage to the pipeline here and there, but not obliterated it. They didn't obliterate it. If they did, it would be a real problem for everybody. I was looking at some simulations. You'd be looking at maybe $200. gas, a barrel, right, $200 a barrel, $250, $200 a barrel, and it would be very shocking for that to happen. A lot of countries would be in a very perilous position. And the longer this goes on, the longer countries are slow burning their reserves. New Zealand doesn't have much reserves, by the way. Australia is a real, one of the biggest importers of diesel because of the mining industry and things like that. They didn't have a lot of reserve. They have the capacity, though, to produce their own oil via refineries, or I should say, you know, from their refineries refine their oil. But they took a number of their plants offline. Same as New Zealand. This is all catastrophic. Maybe it's by design, who knows. Maybe there is a collapse before they usher in the AI surveillance state, which has been built everywhere. But anyway, there is a pretty big news. Probably just as big was this here, if this is real. The Saudi Crown Prince... called President Trump urging him to launch an attack against the Houthis, right? But Trump declined apparently, for whatever reasons, twice. So, you know, Saudi Arabia, of course, was a huge ally of the United States. But there's some other things going on here. For instance, Saudi Arabia, if that pipeline was struck, as other people were saying, It's in this perilous position where if this continues, then it could find, you know, its leadership overthrown. Most of the people in Saudi Arabia actually imports. Saudi Arabia is an entity birthed off technology such as desalinization plants. Once those are struck and destroyed, it would be catastrophic. The whole regime would probably collapse. It's a desert creation. It's not Iran. Iran is an ancient civilization, right? It was, you know, old when the world was young. Literally, it's, well, not literally, but, you know, it is a very old civilization. So, you know, we will see what happens there. Now, a truck drivers, this truck driver is a big Trump supporter. and he has some words for the president pleading with him to bring down gas, basically diesel. This message is for President Trump. President Trump, I've supported you since you came down that escalade. I still support you. I know you're doing what's best for all of us. I know what you're doing in Iran. They can't have a nuke. But... I'm begging you right now to, you got to end it, you got to do something. Diesel fuel just broke $6 a gallon. This truck behind me, $275,000 for this truck, and I can't afford to let it leave the garage now, because what used to cost me $300 and change, now cost me $600 and change. My fuel is doubled. I can't keep hitting the customers. The truck makes a grand a day. So you're burning $300 a day in fuel, a half a tank, depending on where you're going, that's a short haul. You're paying your drive at 30, 35 an hour, you've got taxes, you've got registration, you've got IFTA fees, you've got, you just got overweight perp, you've got all this stuff, that truck makes me no money. Tires have gone through the roof because of the fuel. So please, please. I don't have faith in the midterms, I think this Iran thing, which it was good to go in there. Sometimes I think maybe it was better to have, let them have a nuke, because they were just going to hit New York anyway. We don't need New York, all right? Then we could have wiped them out at that point. But I'm telling you, I'm imploring, okay, it's September. My company's just me and my two kids. We try to do it the right way. We pay our fees, we pay our taxes. We try to keep the equipment updated so we can buy new equipment. Everything works for everybody. And that is the thing. I won't play any more of it. You get the picture, but the thing about it is that a lot of truck drivers, the margins are razor thin. There's an increase in diesel. Now, a lot of countries have to bid for diesel, right? So the price goes up. I mean, Australia needs it. It's a lifeline for the mining industry. Every country that's like, hot, heavy machinery needs diesel. So diesel really runs everything, especially large volume or large transport, whether it's trains, trucks, shipping, whatever the case is, it relies on diesel. And this pushes up the price everywhere. And this is one of the main problems is he can't move his truck. If he can't move his truck, then whatever his truck is used for. you know, whether it's, I don't know, shipping asphalt or whether it's whatever the case is, it looks like, you know, something called that kind, you know, something can building. But if it's doing these types of things, it's not running. Things don't get done. Contracts, you know, problem with contracts and things like that, buildings don't get built, or whatever. Things are delayed. Actually goes on to a bit of that in a moment. I guess we'll play a little bit of it, but... It's only got a few seconds left, but food doesn't get delivered, right? Well, not really, because what happens is they would have to subsidize it eventually and provide rationing, right? The food isn't just going to not show up. What will happen first is certain types of food will not show up, right? Things that are, I don't know, avocados or something, or there'll be less avocados, or there'll be less... like carrots or whatever the case is. Things will cost more. Things will definitely cost more. But you got to do something about this fuel, because that truck is not going to leave this garage. It can't leave this garage until the fuel comes down. The customers, we can't keep jacking it up, because you know what my customer's the same? Hold off on…
