Ringside Politics with Jeff Crewer starts now. Welcome, everyone. It is Ringside Politics on a busy Saturday. Great to be with you. Right here on Real America's Voice. We've got an awesome show lined up for you today. Some interesting guests can be checking in with us. We got some amazing clips to share, all kind of topics we've been researching.

Welcome. You know, after the 2020 election was stolen, we got busy here on Ringside, created a plan. It's rolling along. It's called Project Keep. The Republic was inspired by the end of the Constitutional Convention. When Benjamin Franklin was asked by a lady, what kind of government have you given us? He replied, madam, a republic if you can keep it. Those are the key words. Now, what does it take to keep a republic? Real, tangible action, Adopting the warrior ethos, placing the mission first, never accepting defeat. And folks were never quitting. We're organizing groups across the country based on the days of the week. We have morning prayers Monday, Release the Crack and Tuesday, Sheepdog Wednesday, Tech Triumph Thursday, and Fraud Busters Friday. So what do you do to get started? Just gather two or more people from friends, family, neighbors, co workers or classmates. You start small and then you get bigger. And then you can send your photos and videos to me@jeffgso.com my email address. We'll share them with our friends. When you send that to me, send me a short description of your group and the action depicted. Now, if you want more information. So if you want the slides for this project, you want a detailed plan for the Sheepdog organizational group, you can just email me@jeffgso.com or you can just download it from our website, which is Crewair.net also on there we have some other good information. We've got our petition for the immediate resignation of Rhino Senator Bill Cassidy. He is one of the three Republican senators not to get an endorsement from President Trump. And you want to know why? Well, he voted to convict President Trump after the bogus impeachment and he's still claiming he wants to run again for a term. Are you kidding me? This guy voted to convict President Trump. Then you've got, of course, photos and note from President Trump. You'll enjoy my latest video. The Trump economy is a big improvement over the Biden disaster. Information about my first book, America's Last Chance. You know, working on my last one, putting the final touches on it.

You can also sign up for a free newsletter, which is our Ringside Politics newsletter right there on the site. How about take this our last day for our poll question. Are you comfortable with the prosecution saying that Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk? Did he do it? Were there others? Did he have accomplices? Are we being fed a false story?

So text America to 989-898 and get your free info kit today. Can't beat that. All right, let's check out some of these topics that we're following right here on the Ringside Politics program. And we'll start off, of course, with Minneapolis. It is a war zone there. You've got horrible leadership from a mayor and a governor who are encouraging people to protest. You've got ICE agents that are federal law enforcement agents trying to do their job, legally doing their job, being prevented from doing their job by hooligans and thugs and radicals and leftists, anti American, just agitators. So it's basically that they're trying to stop the enforcement of the law, removing people that are illegally in our country, rapists, pedophiles, murderers, child traffickers, people that are the worst of the worst. And these protesters are protecting them. So they're putting these people over our ICE agents, over the law. Let me give a little memo to the people in Minneapolis and Minnesota, a news flash. President Trump won the election. We told him to do this. He said he was going to do it. He's following through on something called an election promise. This is called the will of the people. So you're trying to stop the will of the people. You rant on and on about democracy, dictatorship. No, this is what we voted for. So you're trying to stop what we told President Trump to do by voting for him. And let's not forget, he won every battleground state. He won popular electoral vote. Republicans took control of Congress, have a majority of governorship. So that's what I call a mandate. So the president's considering invoking the Insurrection Act. I would say that would be a good thing. He is, I know, reluctant to do it. He didn't do it in 2020. Thinking about doing it this time. Notice that these problems are occurring in blue states, especially the state of Minnesota. That's where the epicenter of the summer of love was. Now we've got a winner of love. And this is something that I think the President is probably weighing very heavily. Chuck Schumer this week was talking about trying to restore every single one of the Doge cuts and add more to spending. So this is why we have a Republican majority, to stop fools like this. Okay. Doge was one of the best things of the first year of the Trump administration. We're 38.5 trillion in debt. Doesn't Chuck Schumer get it? We need a cut. Cut and more cuts, not more spending. That's the problem. We're spending more than we're bringing in. It's incredible. Now, here's another problem with Congress. You know, while people across the country are struggling, working hard, barely getting by, tax cuts are coming with the one big, beautiful bill. But we don't have insider information like members of Congress do. So we can't trade stocks like Warren Buffett, but members of Congress can. So there is a Stop Insider Trading act that has been proposed by Republicans. It passes a House committee. Guess what? Not one Democrat is supporting it. So this is something Republicans need to pass and run on in the midterm elections. Term limits, balanced budget amendment, Stop insider trading. That will help them hold on to control. This week, the Supreme Court discussed the transgender athletic ban that is in place in states across the country. They seem to be leaning toward allow those bans to continue. To me, it's just common sense. You don't allow biological males to compete against females. It's dangerous. It's not fair. This is something that caught fire across the country, and people across America are like, no, this has got to end. So hopefully the Supreme Court will not intervene in the other direction. I get the feeling they're going to allow these states to continue to ban this transgender athletics. On the international front, the president was talking about Iran canceling the execution of hundreds of prisoners. He's reviewing his options about what to do there. We've got naval forces on their way to the region. The ayatollahs are still calling death to America, calling President Trump a criminal. So we still got a dangerous regime there that is, you know, tied to terrorism. And they're suppressing their own people. They're repressing freedom in their country. They've been doing it for 46 years, 47 years that this regime has been in place. Now, the president announced this morning tariffs on eight NATO countries that have been opposing his plans to take over Greenland. The president says, we need Greenland for national security. We need Greenland for the Golden Dome. I wouldn't bet against President Trump. The polls show the American people don't support this. But the president is persuasive. He can convince people to get behind the plan. And, of course, this is all about the Golden Dome, all about protecting America, all about making sure that Greenland does not fall into the wrong hands. Now you've got the Europeans scrambling saying, oh yeah, we're doing more to protect Greenland. Well, they were doing nothing for decades, just like they're doing nothing in NATO for decades until President Trump sounded the alarm. France is now deploying troops to Greenland. So there's a NATO conflict. About this. Let me just remind these NATO countries, you wouldn't have NATO without President Trump and America. So if you want to go it on your own and kick us out of the European countries, that's fine with me because you're rich anyway. I don't think we should be funding you anyway. You need to take care of your own military defensive needs. So if you go down this road, you're not going to like it. And finally, Maria Karina Machado was at the White House this week. The Venezuelan peace activist, civil rights activists, free election act activists, someone who is trying to bring democracy to Venezuela, a woman of the people. She won the Nobel Peace Prize, but she gave it to someone who really frankly deserved it even more, and that's President Donald Trump and he gratefully accepted it. So that was very, I think, courageous of her to do that. The Nobel Peace Prize committee didn't like it. They said she couldn't do it. Well, she did it anyway. And I think she helped establish a relationship with President Trump which I think is going to be good going forward as we want Venezuela to have democracy and free elections. Lot to get to when we roll on to our next segment, we'll be joined by retired US Marine Colonel William Berner Dunn. That's next right here on Ringside.

Spin Quest is a free to play social casino boy. Where prohibited. Visit spinquest.com for more details. All right, welcome back, folks. Very pleased to bring on a guest who has served his country admirably for 33 years. He's a Marine Corps veteran. He's a former attack helicopter pilot, served in some of the Middle East's most dangerous hotspots. He's now president of the Strategic Resilience Group, LLC and the author of Gunfighters Rule. Let's welcome retired Marine Colonel William Dunn to the program. And Colonel, how are you, sir? Welcome.
D
I'm doing great. Thanks so much for having me today.
A
Yeah, thank you, Colonel. It looks like things are going well for the military. I know recruitment is up. Seems like to me there's a sense of pride back with this new administration. Looks like it's been a very successful year as far as military operations. Of course, what happened in Iran seemed to be flawless to me. What happened in Venezuela seemed to be incredibly flawless. Do you want to give us your view on all that?
D
Yeah, absolutely. It takes a special person to want to join the military and protect our country and all volunteer force, especially coming off of over 20 years of combat that was almost, you know, seemed like it was never going to end. So it's great to have after the last administration, a kind of refreshment, if you will, on our military. And as our men and women are coming in, we are filling the ranks and we are absolutely meeting all the retention and requirement goals in acquisition goals for our young men and women. These two missions, exquisitely planned, exquisitely executed, that is what the American people should expect in demand of our military. The men and women that are charged with our defense right now take that job very seriously. And we should expect outstanding missions from our men and women in uniform. And that's their expectation. And that is why every mother or father should always demand that only the absolute best leaders in best pilots and best commanders are put in in charge. If you will, of their sons and daughters without regard to any ideology, any political issue of the day. Just the best of the best.
A
Right?
D
That who, that's who we have to have in our military.
A
Yes, well, I agree. And I'm just so proud to see things turning around for our military under strong leadership because, I mean, let's face it, we had a never ending war. We had a horrible Afghanistan withdrawal that was such an embarrassment. And President Trump, you know, called it accurately one of the worst blunders in American history with our president at the time putting us in a situation that was just impossible to succeed. So now we've got sort of reset everything and it seems like there's pride back and there's excellence that we're seeing. And now we've got these other hotspots that are developing. And I wanted to get your thoughts, since you've been so experienced in the Middle east, about Iran and what you think should be our posture on a country that could be teetering on the edge here of change your thoughts, sir?
D
Well, it's not the first time that Iran's been teetering on the edge of failure. We had them set to fail several years ago that was destroyed by some administrative blunders that gave billions of dollars to Iran. The weapons that they purchased with those dollars killed many of our Marines and soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan with the explosively formed penetrators. So now they're on the brink of another collapse. What I would recommend is we allow, at least right now, we allow nature to take its course inside of Iran, continue professing support to the Iranian people. But I don't think we should get involved militarily right now. We want them to topple themselves. That was always a plan. It's still the plan. And when that happens, if we allow that to take place, then we can help, as can other countries in the Middle east, help stabilize Iran as they grow back out of what I consider a terrible regime and hopefully into a friendly regime not only for their people, but for the rest of the world.
A
Right.
D
But we got to be very careful here, very careful. Because if we're not careful, the regime will crumble and that will equate to a failed state. And we don't want that to take place in Iran.
A
So we get the word that the killing of the protesters has stopped. President Trump said that. Yet we're mobilizing assets in the region just in case, I guess maybe Israel might get involved. Is that a method that you would think would be a good idea or not?
D
I Do not. Iran has a enormous amount of weapons. What needs to take place is if this regime fails, the first thing that the world has to do is help whoever is going to take charge of Iran at the time protect those weapons. We do not want those weapons getting out on the world in the world stage. I would not bring Iran in. I'm sorry, I would not bring Israel in. Because right now this can become a Middle east problem that the US can help. We probably won't be as effective if Israel is involved. So Israel is very powerful. Obviously, they know what targets to hit. Now, the thing that I would leave on the table, and Iran knows this because President Trump is a man of his word, we could hand them a target list right now and maybe get the regime to leave on their own and say, if you don't leave, here's a list of targets we're going to strike over the next 30 days. They won't be able to stop us. They know we're going to do it. And that may be incentive enough for them to leave without us actually firing a shot. So I would.
A
Right.
D
I would keep this a Middle Eastern problem for the moment. Hopefully, the regime will either be kicked out or leave on their own. But you cannot have a governmentless Iran. You have to have something in there. A provisional government has got to go in. I am hoping, whether it's through the Middle east or through the US we have a plan for that. I have not seen a plan for that, but we need to have a provisional government that can go in and keep everything stable while the Iranian people kind of reset. And that's how I would look at this, is Iranian reset to keep the region stable.
A
And I certainly hope that they can do it on their own, because remember the green movement back in 2009, they tried to do it on their own, and it was brutally suppressed. And you had thousands that were killed. This seems to be even more powerful of a protest, even more people involved, and hopefully this can be the difference to get rid of this. I mean, what a brutal regime, the number one benefactor of terrorism in the world, right, Colonel?
D
Oh, that's right. And, you know, this is the thing I would like the American people to understand. They provided weapons routinely to our adversaries and our enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan to kill Americans. And unfortunately, the last administration and some previous to that helped pay for those weapons. And so we cannot forget that this regime wants Israel dead and they want the US Dead, and it'll be good for the world when they're gone.
A
Amen to that Colonel, thank you for your service. Thank you so much for being with us and encourage everyone to check out your work and your book. That's retired US Marine Colonel William Berner Dunn. Thank you, sir. All right, let's share with you a few of the clips we've got ready to roll because of course, the big story of the week was Minneapolis and Minnesota and the ICE protests. And here's the crazy mayor of Minneapolis admitting instructions to arrest ICE agents are illegal. But he gave them, didn't he? Let's check out clip number one.
C
You're basically asking, can our cops arrest them?
A
Yeah. From a legal perspective, yes. And a commitment was made to direct.
B
Minneapolis police to arrest federal agents. That would be dangerous. That would be irresponsible.
A
And my simple question is how would.
B
Our police officers do that? How would our police officers arrest federal.
A
Agents when, simply put, they have much.
B
Bigger guns and it would be illegal.
A
So it's legal, but yet dangerous and irresponsible. So what is it? Scott Jennings, one of the voices of reason on CNN, praised ICE for their incredible success rate in what they've done over the past few months. Let's check out clip number two.
E
They're being sued by American citizens over.
A
What they're calling illegal stops. We'll see if we'll see if the.
B
ACL use any better lawyer over transgender sports this week.
E
There are documented cases of American citizens.
A
Being harassed by ice, of non citizens.
E
Being stopped randomly simply based on maybe.
A
They have an accent, maybe they happen.
E
To be in a particular place, like.
A
Near an airport working for Uber. And at the very least, it raises questions about whether people's constitutional rights are being violated.
E
And if that is the case, isn't.
A
It justified for Americans to be concerned about that?
C
So according to the reporting, there have.
A
Been 170American citizens who have been detained for some period of time during this.
B
Period in which they have deported about 660,000 illegal aliens.
A
That's about a 99.99997% success rate.
B
If any other government agency got stuff that right that often, we'd be throwing them a ticker.
A
Eight. He's exactly right. The best success rate throughout government. And last clip we want to share in this segment. It's a good segue because our next guest is a Canadian. Here's the Canadian prime minister explaining the new World Order to a reporter. Let's check out clip number three. Prime Minister Brian Platt with Bloomberg News. Yesterday, when you met with Premier Li, one of the things you said in the public remarks was this partnership Canada And China. This new partnership sets us up well for the New World Order. What did you mean by that? What is the New World Order? Well, this is, it's a great question, Brian, because I think the world is.
C
Still determining what that, what that order is going to be. And let's be clear what we're talking about first and foremost, which is what are the trading, what is going to govern global trade? What is the role of the WTO going to be? How important are bilateral deals such as the one we're developing, plurilateral deals, if I can use that term, Trans Pacific Partnership, potential linkages between transportation Pacific Partnership and the eu? Where is financial regulation, payment system regulation going to fit into that?
A
All right, this guy is a globalist, he's a leftist and he's cozying up to China. Okay, this is what we have on our northern border. And when we come back, we're going to talk to a man fighting for freedom in Canada who had to leave the country because they targeted him because all he wanted was freedom. And we'll talk to him about his quest for freedom and what his next steps are going to be after a big court decision. That's next right here on ringside of Real America's Voice. Jeff Carrera with you.
B
We'll back.
A
Be right, right back.

Spin quest is a free to play social casino boy where prohibited. Visit spinquest.com for more details. All right, well let's go north of the border and our focus of our next discussion. And Canada is a beautiful place, great place, but they've got very progressive politics and we just heard from their prime minister who's cozing up to China and gentleman was fighting for freedom there. Organizer and founder of the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy and for that he was targeted bank account seized, prosecuted. He's now in the United States in an undisclosed location. Let's welcome our good friend James Bowder is with us here on the Ringside Politics program. James, how are you sir? Welcome.
F
Welcome again. Jeff. Thanks for having me on your show again.
A
James, big news. Let's talk about a big court decision that occurred in Canada relating to your case. Please fill everyone in.
F
Well, let's take everybody back here real quick. In February of 2022, we did the freedom Convoy to Ottawa that sparked a global initiative all over the world with over 500 million people participating, over 23 countries standing up for lawful freedom of rights with respects to all the COVID mandates in Canada.
A
And we can never, we can never forget that, James. We can never forget what these governments tried to do to us during COVID So that's going to be the focus of my next guest after you. So I'm glad you reminded us of that, sir.
F
Perfect. Well, as a result of us standing up in Ottawa peacefully and you know, thousands of truckers and tens of thousands of participants and millions of Canadians and then hundreds of millions of people all over the world standing up against tyrannical overreach. The government of Canada under the former prime minister Justin Trudeau and his right hand Christia Freeland invoked the emergencies act and freezed our bank accounts. Now this was under consultation under the current prime minister who we just had on praising world, you know, the, the new world order. Mr. Premier, Prime Minister Mark Carney who was the consulting founder of the architect behind saying to Justin Trudeau and Christia Freeland you should freeze their bank accounts and you should put the emergency. Well that created a wrath of hardship. I'm one of them. I got arrested as a result of that invocation. My life has been turned upside down. I've been fighting for my Freedom now for 1455 days as of today. And a whole pile of legal civil suits started happening. And also the. The judges started weighing in on this, the real judges. And Judge Mosley was the first judge to find the government's response unlawful, unjustified, violated the charter of rights. And then the Crown Attorney of the day appealed that decision. And as of yesterday, the second court came back and found that the original ruling under Judge Mosley was in fact, within the context of the law and rejected the government's appeal. So this is two times the government has been found guilty of violating the Canadian laws. And here we are.
A
So what does that mean? What does that mean to you? Are you going to be able to go back to.
B
Are you going to be able to.
A
Go back to Canada now?
F
No, Jeff. I am under the political asylum laws internationally and in usa. I've been in a situation where I'm pending my asylum hearing, so I cannot ever return back to Canada. And do I trust ever to return back to Canada even if these charges were dropped? No, I. Unfortunately, the trust has been burned and I'm here in USA for the rest of my life pending the successful verdict of me being accepted as a political asylum seeker.
A
Well, so you're the type of person we want in the United States, someone that cherishes freedom, loves this country. I mean, that's the kind of person we want to welcome here to the us so what's the status of your asylum hearing?
F
So I'm still waiting. I just filed the lawyers. I've got seven of them. They just filed for my EAD and my Social Security number. So in about two months or now, I should be able to be lawfully, legally able to contribute into USA's economy and start working, paying taxes. I'm so looking forward to that. Understood, Jeff. I came here in USA under exile April 15th of 2025. So, you know, we're, we're into this for almost a year now of not being able to work. It's been pretty frustrating. Massive legal bills over my head. I've lost my country. I've lost my home. I've lost, you know, this is affected. I lost my marriage over this. I lost my trucking business over this. And here I am, I'm still standing based on that Emergency act that was found. Should never have been put in place to begin with. Had that Emergency act never been used, Jeff, I wouldn't be here.
A
Yeah. You have a massive lawsuit on your hands, don't you, that you can file.
F
Against the Canadian $190 million against me and some other truckers from the citizens of Ottawa because we dared to honk our horns and show up in Ottawa, which was the, the bright place for this. It was a nationwide protest with millions of Canadians that had had enough of the overreach.
A
Can't counter sue that you've been discriminated against and you've had your rights denied. Can't you countersue the Canadian government?
F
Well, I will be. And there is a lawsuit that I'm on right now where I'm the top of the lawsuit with respects to suing the government for seizing my bank accounts. And I the very first Canadians to have their bank account seized. Actually, three days prior to the Emergencies act being invoked, my bank accounts were seized. So I'm on a very big lawsuit that now has credibility because it's been in stagnant, it's been adjournment waiting for this verdict that just came out. So that's just one of many, many civil lawsuits that are happening and then I'll be filing another one once I'm accepted as a political asylum refugee here.
A
All I know is I admire your courage. I admire your tenacity. You're a fighter and certainly I appreciate that. I hope everything works out and that you are a proud American citizen very, very soon. Where can our viewers go to help you and your case and to learn more?
F
I think you've posted this before and it's been massively appreciated. I really do need help funding all this stuff. You can go to Give Send go please support James Botter and the whole story. Receipts, videos. It tells the whole story on there. There's, there's quite the story for folks to read about and I really do appreciate. I'm about 15,000 short of legal bills yet still to be paid for, so. Well, appreciate the help.
A
You keep fighting, James. We'll, we'll keep in touch and thanks so much for being with us today. And hopefully I see light at the end of the tunnel here for you, my friend. All right, that's James with us. And you know, in talking about, you know, the horrors of Canada, it makes us appreciate more the United States of America. But it's not that things are great here. We just need to continue to make improvements. I think we got an administration that's working hard in the right direction, but we still have a lot of problems, a lot of corruption. Demian, Brad Brady is with us. He is the vice president of research at the National Taxpayers Union foundation, and he's been doing some research into Congressional pensions and also what we're paying our ex presidents and their luxurious accommodations. So welcome to the program. How are you?
C
I'm very good. Thank you for having me back on today.
A
Yeah, well, it's my pleasure. I like your research. And so give us a little overview of the pension situation with members of Congress.
C
Yeah, sure. So National Taxpayers Union and NTU foundation, which is the research arm for ntu, the voice of America's taxpayers. We've been working a long time, over decades on exposing transparency on congressional pensions and how much they get. We were calculating back in the 1990s and early 2000s how much we're going to members of Congress who were convicted of corruption and sent off to jail and still eligible for a pension. And so this research and just, you know, steady work on the Hill, this helped to pass a law in 2007 called the honest Leadership and Open Government act, which set in law cutting off pensions for members of Congress who were convicted of corruption. So that way, you know, the idea is if you're sitting in jail, you shouldn't get a taxpayer funded pension. But that law was strengthened in 2012 by the Stock Act. But then in 2017, we helped expose a loophole in these laws. You know, as well intentioned as they were, a member who was sitting in jail could still get a pension as long as they had a pending appeal on their case. So we discovered that Chaka Fatah, a corrupt member of Congress from Philadelphia, was sentenced to 10 years in jail, was still collecting a taxpayer funded pension because of this loophole confirmed by a government agency. So Claudia Tenney, a representative at the time from upstate New York, read my article in the Washington examiner and introduced legislation. It took a couple of years, but in 2024 we got the no Corruption act passed into law which closes this loophole, provides protection for taxpayers and you know, so if a member is eventually successful in overturning their, their conviction, they will be eligible for their pension back pay. So it's, you know, good for taxpayers and a constitutional protection for people who are eventually found innocent.
A
Yeah. So that's, you know, that's good. Obviously we don't want to be rewarding bad behavior. Right. Criminal behavior. You've also done a deep dive into what's going on with the former presidents and their expenses. And obviously I just read that Joe Biden is going to be getting more than anybody else in history as far as a post president in his, you know, retirement luxuries. So fill us in on that, please.
C
Yeah, it's a really interesting area of spending that a lot of people don't know about. And it came into law in the 1950s. That's when we first created a benefit program for former presidents. And it was sold basically on a lie because everybody told members of Congress that Harry Truman, who had recently just left the White House, was down on his luck and he needed some help to get back on his feet after leaving the White House. But it was discovered maybe about 10 years ago or so when his wife's state papers were made public, he actually had a significant amount of wealth. But we still have this benefit in place for former members of Congress that provide, I mean, former presidents who are, you know, we should also mention that this is a group of people who are very, very wealthy millionaires. And James alleged to be a billionaire. And we're providing them an annual pension amount that's equivalent to a cabinet secretary, which is about $250,000 this year. And they also get office perks for life. We provide rent and office space and staff for them. And it's really questionable benefits to provide for life because these eventually just become money making opportunities for the president. This is how they arrange all their speaking engagements, where they get right. Nice paychecks. And so then Biden is a unique, in a unique situation because he gets the presidential pension. But then he also served 44 years in the Senate, including his years as vice president. So he gets two pensions, a taxpayer funded pension. So he's making more than the current president gets just from his pensions now. So that's a pretty big loophole.
A
Well, I don't think the current president takes his salary. He donates his salary. Salary if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, that's true.
C
He donates it to a different cause every. Every month.
A
Yeah. So. All right. Well, you're doing great work in exposing this and we thank you for sharing this information. I mean, this is outrageous. It's got to be stopped.
C
Another quick point that yes was almost every form was almost enacted into law, but then President Obama vetoed it just before he left office. Senator Joni Ernst has reintroduced the bill, the Presidential Allowance Modernization act which would these benefits.
A
Let's get behind it. All right. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Appreciate it. All right. We're going to take a brief time out. We got a lot to get to as we roll on. It's ringside politics right here. I'm real America's voice. Jeff Career with you. We'll be right back. Ringside politics.
D
We report the news to you up front.
A
Ringside Politics politics with the flight Ringside Politics analysis made crystal clear. Ringside Politics with your host, Jeff Crewair. Welcome back, everybody. You know, we've been a big believer in freedom on this program since we started, fought back against a draconian Covid mandates that were issued and believe that we had the freedom to pursue any kind of treatment that we wanted. The vaccine mandates, in my opinion, were unconstitutional and led to many deaths. But one person we've had on program before was such a hero during COVID for her advocacy, her courage to speak out. She's a physician, author, speaker, entrepreneur, and deliverance minister. And there's some new stories to get her take on. And let's welcome back Dr. Stella Emanuel to the Ringside Politics program. Hey, Doctor, how are you? Welcome.
E
Hi. Happy New Year.
A
Happy New Year. Well, I wanted to get your thoughts on what the Trump administration is doing under Secretary Kennedy, significantly overhauling the US Vaccine schedule early this year, reducing the vaccines that people are going to be, you know, injecting into children, putting us more in line with countries like Denmark. So is this a good thing, Dr. Stella?
E
Yeah, I think that is a win, and we'll take whatever wins that we get. I would love for you to go a little further, like just ban the MRNA technology and then take away all vaccine mandates. But it's a win. Of course, we still have things like the Academy of Pediatrics and other, you know, people trying to sue the Trump administration to stop that. And that's just crazy. I'm so glad that, you know, they took away the childhood, they took away hepatitis at birth. You know, there's no point to give a child hepatitis at birth for a disease that they might get when they become teenagers and start having sex. So that's crazy. So, but I'm thankful we look at it like a win. But if I were, I would prefer, well, if I were making the policy or if I had the hand to I want them to take away vaccine mandates, period. They're always saying a lot of things about vaccines and autism, vaccines and other diseases, allergies, immune diseases. But. And they're like, well, there's no studies. We do have a population that we can use. We have a control population that's the Amish. We can just look at the diseases that are in the Amish and see, because they don't vaccinate their children, see the level of autism in Amish and everything. So we do have a control group if people are really interested. So we're taking that as a win. One of the great things I would say they should. Do they allow doctors? If they make doctors liable for vaccine injury, a lot of things will be fixed.
A
Yes. And when are we going to do that, Dr. Stella? When are people like Dr. Fauci and others lied to us during COVID who caused a lot of deaths during COVID When are they going to be held responsible for what they did?
E
We're still waiting. Maybe in the next life, I don't know. But we're still waiting. Because this thing was such a global thing. I don't think any of them will be held responsible because it's bigger than just Fauci. It's bigger than just Gates. This is all about the global cabal trying to use vaccine mandates or use vaccines to bring their global agenda. So I don't know whether they'll be held accountable, but I hope they will. We're waiting.
A
You know, what's going on right now is that there's something called a super flu, and people are telling me that they're suffering from it. And I'm also looking at stats showing that people are not comfortable getting the flu shot, that the numbers of people getting the flu shot are going down. Is that a good thing? Is that contributing to this super flu? Give us the truth, Dr. Stello.
E
The CDC actually came out to say that the flu shot of this year does not work against the super flu. So it doesn't make sense to even get the flu shot. It was a crazy recommendation. The flu shot of this year does not work against the super flu, but get it anyway. I would never recommend a flu shot. Never. And people don't need to. Because you see, there are other things that you can do to help with flu. Flu is an RNA virus, and RNA viruses are sensitive to zinc. So using supplements with zinc and quercetin like we provide on our website, can help to treat the flu. I'm seeing patients in the clinic wheezing, people that don't have asthma coming in very sick. What we're doing is that we're putting them on hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin and putting them on one of the supplements that has, like, one of the supplements that has a zinc transport system. They are coming in. We're needing to give them breathing treatments to feel better. And usually within one or two days of putting them on this regimen, our patients are feeling better. So I tell people, don't wait till you get sick. Go on our website, drcellamd.com, get hydroxychloquine and ivomectin your medicine cabinet. We've been singing this for the past five years. Please listen. And then get any of these supplements that has vitamin C, D, zinc, and quercetin. Take it daily. Get gummies for your children. Take it daily. Keep them healthy. And when we do that, then we're able to stay healthy and don't have to deal with the superflu. Because, yes, a lot of people are getting sick. I'm also recommending. Because for a while, we. Okay. I'm also recommending that people get back on what we call Sunday. Sunday medicine. That means weekly hydroxychloroquine or weekly ivermectin to keep themselves on a baseline. Do that for the next three months till this superflu is over. We did that. We recommended that during COVID in the peak of it, and then we dropped the recommendation. But right now, I'm telling people, get back on your Sunday, Sunday, Monday, Monday. That means once a week, ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine to stay safe.
A
Well, that's great advice. I have never taken a COVID vaccine, never taken a flu shot. Don't believe in it. I'm glad to hear what you're saying and glad to hear your recommendations. Give us your website again that people can check out. Doctor.
E
Yeah. DrStellamd.com Dr.Stellamd.com and listen, if you go there, you can get hydroxychloquino ivermectin in all 50 states. And if you use promo code Jeff, you can get a discount for your. For your. For your audience. And then also go to the marketplace and get any of these.
A
Yes, thank you for doing that.
E
So do that so that we can.
A
Put in promo code Jeff, and get yourself ready for the last few months of this winter season. All right, Dr. Stella, keep up the great work. Thank you so much for being with us. And we appreciate your advocacy and your courage. All right, we ask our viewers to submit their video clip of the week. We found one we like. It's from Steve in Covington, Louisiana.

We got some good ones this week. Let's check out the first one from Robert in Virginia. This is Marco Rubio taking another job as governor of Greenland. He's got like 10 good one, Robert. Next one is from Jenny K. That's the police chief in Portland. Very nice, Jenny K. And then we got one more from Robert in Virginia about the transgender athletes. There's something really unfair about this bigot. Says the burly transgender athlete with all the chest hair and muscles and that the Supreme Court's gonna have to decide on that. I mean, that is so ridiculous that we are subjecting young women to that. It's dangerous. It's got to end. Hey, don't forget the Rev Ambassadors. We've got a ringside group there. Please join that friend me on that. I'm going to be getting on that this weekend and getting involved in that. So check out Rev Ambassadors. And big thank you to our great crew in Denver.
