So you can get these DVDs right off of Amazon. Just search the Dragon's Prophecy or go to the movie website thedragonsprophecyfilm.com alright now, a group of Democrats made a video this featured Alyssa Slotkin. It featured Jason Crow, a number of others, very solemnly declaring a message to members of the US Armed forces and the military. We want to warn you about essentially your commander in Chief. The idea here is that you do not have to follow illegal or unlawful orders. In fact, it is a crime to do that. And the video went on in this vein and went viral on social media. And Trump lashed out, basically saying this is treason, this is sedition. These people need to be arrested. These people need even to be, even imply they need to be hanged or executed. Because Trump's point is you are urging the military to disobey the commander in chief. To which the Slotkin Crow team rushed to the television sets to basically say, oh no, we were merely asking the military not to follow unlawful orders. But even on places like MSNBC and cnn, they were asked, well, what are these unlawful orders? What unlawful orders has Trump given? And they couldn't say. In fact, Jason Crow ultimately goes, I'm not saying there are any. And Slotkin, the same thing at one point pressed on this Representative Goodlander, Maggie Goodlander actually referred to things like the Nuremberg Trials, which obviously goes back to World War II and doesn't involve these were not trial of Americans or trials of Nazis. And second, she says, well, you can see some examples in the movie A Few Good Men. So if you're talking about these hypothetical examples or examples that don't even pertain to Trump, why make the video? Why make the video if not to cause mischief? And that's exactly what the Democrats were all about. So I'm not sure this is a cause to arrest them. I certainly don't think it's the cause to hang them, but I do think that they are up to no good, and that needs to be exposed. All right, let me talk about. My theme for today is Trump's strategy. And I want to talk about a seeming oddity. The oddity is this. Trump lashes out at Marjorie Taylor Greene, basically saying it's a good thing that she's quitting. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she's not running for reelection. And when Marjorie Taylor Greene claims that she's been slandered by Trump and that he's put her life in danger by the things that he said about her, he basically goes, well, that's ridiculous. Nobody even cares about her, so why would anybody even bother to put her life in danger? This seemed to be Trump's rather blase implication. So on the one hand, you have Trump doing this, which is not entirely out of character for Trump to do, by the way. And on the other hand, this is what makes the contrast so striking. Trump is genuinely exuberant. He is laudatory. He's pretty favorable to Zoran Mamdani. He meets Mamdani in the Oval Office and doesn't just say things like, well, you know, I want to find a way to try to work with this guy. He basically says, I like some of the things that he's saying. And now that I've listened to him, I agree with some of his ideas. And they're along the lines of how I've been thinking. And no, I wouldn't be hesitant to live in Mamdani's New York. So Trump really goes well overboard here. And you can see that the White House staff is, like, uncomfortable, not only because this is ideologically weird, but even more than that, you have people like Elise Stefanik intending to run for governor basically on the anti Mamdani ticket, basically saying that, you know, you have a choice between dragging New York into socialism, Mamdani style, or the alternative that we represent. And if Trump is saying, well, I like Mamdani and he's doing some really good things And I'm looking forward to collaborating with him. Well, at the very least, you could say that this kind of blurs the line. So what's really going on here? I'd like to give you my take on it. We'll start with the first part dealing with Marjorie Taylor Greene. I think Trump's point of view here goes something like this. American politics is a team sport and it is fought in teams. Politics, like war, is fought in teams. And what this means is that getting off your own team, particularly if you're doing things that are giving aid and comfort to the other team, the enemy, then you are a liability. You need to be taken off the team at the least, maybe even run into the ground. And Lincoln, for example, couldn't be more clear about this. During the Civil War, there was a Northern Democrat who was in a sense suggesting that people don't need to fight, soldiers can desert if they want to. And Lincoln was like, listen, you want me to shoot the soldier who's deserting? What about the Democrats who are egging them on? Why shouldn't they be arrested? And Lincoln's point, again is we are in a war. Now, obviously we are not in a war, but we are in a kind of political combat with the Democrats with very narrow majorities in the House, a little better in the Senate, but not a whole lot better. We certainly far short of the 60 seat majority. And so Trump's point is, when you have guys like Massie or Marjorie Taylor Greene, who, whatever their motive, it could be that they're just exhibitionists, it could be that they've got some neurotic problems. It could be just that they think that they are the real MAGA and not Trump. And so they use an issue like Epstein to go after Trump. And remember, in Marjorie Taylor Greene's case, she goes on cnn, she goes on the View, she even kind of apologizes for being a divisive figure, kind of repenting of her MAGA ism, if you will. And Trump is like, why do we need somebody like that? So Trump, I think in this sense is, thinks very much in terms of like, this is our side, this is my gang. If you want to put it bluntly, that's your gang. You want to go join the other gang, go do that. If you think you're the real maga, you know, start your own startup, but don't claim the MAGA mantle. That actually belongs, I think, quite rightly, to Trump. The Mamdani thing is a little bit more elusive, a little bit more tricky. And I think number One, it illustrates the fact that Trump is not all that ideological in the way that he sees politics. We assume he is because his instincts are conservative and he does conservative things. And he's done a lot, by the way, in the last 10 or 11 months. So he has actually been far better than he was in the first term. And I don't think that we on the right have good reasons to be upset with Trump in any way. However, Trump doesn't think the way we do in a kind of philosophical or ideological compass. Trump is an operator. And I think Trump is looking at New York from a real estate point of view, and he's looking at New York also from a pragmatic point of view. Look, this guy's been elected. Guess what? We're gonna have to work with him. And if he's willing to play ball, I think Trump's question is, who has the real cards? What cards does he have on me? Well, none. All his talk is all, I'm gonna prevent Netanyahu from coming to New York. It's all bluster. He even knows it. Everybody knows it. Netanyahu knows it. So it's all a big joke. It's positioning just in a campaign. But Mamdani does need federal aid. Mamdani only has two ways to get money. One way is from the New York legislature, and that's through the governor, through the legislature. And already Kathy Hochul has kind of said no to some of the Mamdani proposals. So Mamdani is basically thinking, well, maybe I can get some money out of the federal government for some of these things. And Trump's point is, alright, well, who does that give the reins to? Answer me. The federal government. That's me. So why am I going to slam Mamdani? Let me see if I can use my leverage over Mamdani to get some things accomplished. So if Mamdani, for example, wants to do rent control, Trump is likely to go, nah, I'm not going to help you on that. But if Mamdani goes, well, you know what? I want to build a thousand new apartments in New York. This is going to appeal not only to Trump's real estate side, which is like, hey, that's, that's something that's going to be good for the city. And the second thing is supply and demand. More apartments, more living space basically means prices will tend to come down at least a little bit. And I also think Trump has a certain sympathy for the, you could call it the working class people of New York. The kind of people you see that are doorman in his own hotels. Because think about it. They work in New York. They have to work in New York. The hotels are in New York. Where are they going to live? So almost none of them live in Manhattan. But it's not even easy to live in Brooklyn. It's really expensive, and it's not that cheap to live even in Queens. And so to the degree that the supply of housing can be increased and to the degree that prices can be leveled out or moderated, this is going to be good for those guys, those guys for whom making ends meet has become even more difficult. So I'm not really freaked out by all this. I think I could see the dismay on the faces of the White House aides when Trump was kind of coddling Mamdani. And some people, by the way, thought, oh, Mamdani spoiled a fast one on Trump. Not really. Trump is very capable, by the way, of saying nicer things to Kim Jong Un than he said to Mamdani. So that's Trump. He'll say things like that. He'll be like, well, this is the smartest guy I've ever met. You're like, kim Jong Un is the smartest guy you've ever met. But that we're not shocked hearing that kind of thing coming out of Trump. It's Trump's hyperbolic, bombastic, over the top way of talking. And Trump also jokes with people in the most, well, some would say inappropriate ways. He's talking to some guy from Qatar. He starts talking about, well, listen, give this to your wife. I don't know how many wives you have, but give it to your favorite. Ha, ha, ha, this is Trump. Or he'll say something like, well, listen, you know Biden, last time you were here, you know mbs, Mohammed bin Sultan, you know, Biden gave you a fist bump. I'm gonna. I'm gonna shake your hand, but I don't really know where that hand has been, to be honest. But this is Trump. He'll say these things, which are, let's just call it a little bit outside of the diplomatic handbook. And we've all learned over time not to take them all that seriously, even though there might be some strategic purpose behind them. Since 1971, the year the US completely abandoned the gold standard, inflation has averaged 3.98% per year. That's the official figure, which the government manipulates to keep it lower than it should be. But even so, it reveals that if you start out with $1 in 1971, that money keeps dropping in value in purchasing power. In fact, $1 in 1971 is now worth about 12 cents. Crazy but true. How does this happen? It's because the US government continually prints money. Now when more money chases the same amount of goods and services, well, money goes down in value. And because the money printing is not stopping, we know that our dollars are going to continue to lose value. The dollar is basically going down toward zero every single time. But you know the government can't print gold and gold has been money for thousands of years. Today, gold is a valuable protection against the ongoing depreciation of the dollar. Is it any surprise that an ounce of gold which was worth $44.40 in 1971 is today worth around $4,000? I own gold As a long term investment. You can too. Either by buying gold to keep in a safe place or by converting an old ira into or 401k into an IRA in gold. A great way to do that.

It's reliefman.com I want to talk about a disclosure that is now roiling the X platform, namely the location search on the platform. In other words, foreign accounts that have over the past several years been quite active and had a big influence. And by the way, these are not foreign accounts that purport to be foreign. These are foreign accounts that purport to be American. In fact, they will have the most American sounding names or labels or and they list their own locations as being America, but in fact they are not from America. Now Elon Musk, by the way, was onto this a while ago. In fact, even before he bought Twitter, you might remember, he almost like didn't buy it. He's like, I've discovered that there are tons of bots and bogus and fake accounts on Twitter and he even alluded to foreign accounts that were not disclosed as such. Anyway, he went ahead and bought Twitter and people changed it to X and people kind of forgot about all that. But recently the chief engineer on Twitter basically did a very valuable service by allowing people to click on an icon and see when the account was started and where it is based on. So here's an example. Here's a guy, his name is Muhammad Gaza. Well right there you see where you think he's from Gaza and he acts like he's from Gaza. So for example, here's a tweet by this guy, Mohammed, Gaza, Israel bombed the tents right next to us. At least 15 death and many injuries. WTF do you want from us? Leave us alone. Blah blah blah blah blah. So this would appear to be a guy who's like flat on his back, like avoiding Israeli rockets. Well, all you have to do now is click on his profile and you realize that this account is based in Poland. So this guy's not in Gaza. This is a whole pretense and it's a big account. Now we look at an account by a seemingly Islamic woman. She has, she's wearing a headscarf. She posts a picture of herself. Her name is Ruwayda Amer and this is what she says. I am like the clouds in Gaza, sad and want to cry. We are fighting to survive. Click on her button. No, she's not from Gaza. She lives in Egypt. So she's like the clouds in Egypt and those clouds don't want to cry. There are actually no bombs raining on Egypt. This is all a masquerade. Mohamed Smiry was supposedly a Gaza journalist. And this guy was like on the scene reporting all this stuff, showing all these pictures. And even a lot of Israeli accounts thought this guy must be in Gaza because how else does he sort of have this sort of inside knowledge? And one of the accounts, this is Max Nordaunt. I assumed he of all people was actually there. Click on his profile and you realize, no, he's not in Gaza, he's in Indonesia. So all of this stuff he might be collating from the web, but he, the point is he's not there, he's not on the scene. All of this is a kind of smoke and mirrors. The very account called Palestine News is based in Australia. And on and on it goes. Now this doesn't just apply, by the way, to the fake accounts. It turns out that the New York Times and the BBC and other media outlets have been quoting these Gaza journalists who are fake. So for example, you've got this guy, Motasam Dalul, and this is a guy who lives in Poland. Is he the guy I mentioned earlier? Let me just check for a moment here. This is the guy. Let me see. No, this is a different guy. But in any event, the BBC has been quoting him and the BBC says that this is the guy who saw, heard the rockets in Gaza. Motasam Dalul, a journalist in Gaza City, told the BBC he had seen and heard multiple Israel airstrikes there on Thursday. And by the way, this is a guy who lists his reports as Gaza City, Gaza. In fact, he lives in Poland. He's posting apparently from Poland. And this also applies, by the way, this kind of fakery to a lot of these so called groipers, these, these Nick Fuentes fans. Let me give you an example. Here's a guy, Antunes, and I've seen this guy, I think he's actually attacked me a few times. Nick Fuentes is literally getting condemned on the Senate floor by Chuck Schumer. This guy is 27 years old, blah, blah, blah. They have never been so afraid. Nick Fuentes is inevitable. America first is inevitable, and this guy is antunes1. Turns out this message is brought to you from Portugal. Not only that, but some of the people who have been digging into these groiper accounts, a whole bunch of them, by the way, are from the third world. And so think of the humor of this. You've got this sort of Mexican, at least Mexican, named Guy Fuentes, and he's posing as a white supremacist. He's posing as a guy who wants to like, bring back the heritage Americans, bring back the original white man, the guy who built this country and his followers. And not to mention probably also his monetization on social media is driven by, by a bunch of Bahrainis and Bangladeshis. Now the reason that I'm stressing the kind of Muslim angle here is because think about it this way. If you're a Nick Fuentes and you're bashing Israel, who do you think is going to rally to your side? Who do you think is going to say, well, listen, if we come out and we're inshallah and Allahu Akbar, nobody's going to like us, right? All these Americans are going to say, get, get the heck out of here. We don't care about you. You, you're actually the enemy. But what if they pose as white supremacists? Then they can bash Israel, achieving their political objective, but conceal their own identity. They're posing ultimately as white guys who don't like Israel and don't like Jews. And so this gives them a kind of marvelous cover. Not to mention that they too build up pretty big followings because other groipers are like, oh, this guy's one of us. You know, this guy probably is like some really upset working class white guy. And sometimes the profile picture seems to suggest that, you know, got some white guy wearing a kind of flannel shirt and he's got his baseball cap and he's turned it back to front and he's got his truck in the background, but the guy's actually like in Sri Lanka. So this is, it's very good to know. By the way, now some guys, some of the foreign guys have been weighing in saying, well, listen, you know, I mean, we do live abroad, so why can't we comment on X? And the point of my diatribe here is not to say that you can't. I mean, I comment on things happening all over the world. I comment on things happening in England and Australia and the Muslim world. So I'm not saying that somebody who doesn't live in America can't comment on American politics. But what I am saying is that in many of these cases there's a complete masquerade. If you're some guy, if you're some Muslim guy, let's say in North Africa, you want to comment on American politics, well, why don't you disclose your location? Why don't you say that from your point of view, this is how you see the world. Why don't you say, hey America, you may want to pay attention to this thing happening in my part of the world or hey America, you know, we in North Africa don't like what we see that's happening in California. It's perfectly okay to participate. But the point here is that apparently now for several years the false impression has been created that we are having an American debate about the future of America. And as it turns out, we haven't. In fact, I bet you if I went back to a few weeks ago when all these guys, some of them griper types, were like, we need to deport Dinesh. I bet you some of this was actually coming from places like Pakistan, we need to deport Dinesh, you know, Karachi, Pakistan guy, we need to deport Dinesh, some guy from Islamabad or Turkey, you know, and so it's possible. It's not that I'm not saying that there are real people behind some of these ideas obviously are, but the magnitude of their following may be exaggerated. Not to mention the fact that some of these guys have nothing better to do. I mean, think of some third world guy basically, you know, you know, eating his like his naan and you know, and this guy is like jobless, you know, but you know, he lives on like 40 cents a day and so he can spend 10 hours a day on. So this is a point I made before. These are guys with a lot of time on their hands. And so they put out 3, 400 posts on X and people think, oh wow, there must be a lot of them because you know, that's like a swarm of hornets. You don't realize it's basically like Abdul and his four brothers. And these guys alone have a massively disproportionate impact because of the amount of time that they devote to it. So this, I think has become a very welcome, very eye opening development. We begin to realize that MAGA is perhaps not as divided as we previously suspected and that a lot of the troublemaking, not all of it, but some of it, has been coming from beyond our shores. In 2000, Blockbuster passed on buying Netflix. Whoa. By 2010, they had filed for bankruptcy. Sometimes saying no can really cost us. And today, many people over 62, they're saying no to reverse mortgages. And they're overlooking the value of their home equity.
