In this insightful episode of The Hammer Drops, host Laoch examines a swath of critical issues. He scrutinizes the rising inflation rates in the U.S, discusses the thought-provoking aspects of nationwide mobile network outages, debates on Ukraine-Russia conflict, and deconstructs the Trump New York case. This episode urges listeners to probe deeper into these matters, rather than simply absorbing the information that is presented to them.

Laoch explores the possible ramifications of the mysterious outages witnessed by AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile networks. Is this a foreshadowing of more serious threats, like EMP attacks? The host's thought-provoking analysis of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict questions the authenticity of widely accepted narratives, shedding new light on this tense geopolitical situation.

The host delves further into the current U.S economic state, investigating the impacts of rising inflation rates on everything from groceries to car insurance. These findings challenge the common perception that inflation rates are under control and the economy is stable. Layak then concentrates his attention on the proposal of debt elimination for student loans, elucidating upon its hidden drawbacks.

The latter part of the episode focuses in on the $52.7 billion budget proposal by Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois. Layak outlines several disputable aspects of the proposal, from its massive spending to the alleged neglect of local communities in favor of migrant assistance. The episode critically evaluates features such as $1 billion expenditure on privately held medical debt and a half-billion-dollar investment into Illinois' quantum computing potential.

The concluding segment revolves around Donald Trump's ongoing struggles with legal entanglements and potential political comeback. Above all, this compelling episode of The Hammer Drops serves as a reminder to listeners to remain inquisitive and analytical in their understanding of the world around them.

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Music. 2 00:00:14,145 --> 00:00:18,065 Hey, what's up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of The Hammer Drops. I'm your host, Layak. 3 00:00:18,225 --> 00:00:22,985 So today we are going to, I'm going to take a step back and I'm going to go 4 00:00:22,985 --> 00:00:26,165 back to, I believe it was the 16th of the month. 5 00:00:26,545 --> 00:00:34,385 One thing I forgot to inform you guys on is I wanted to go over the inflation 6 00:00:34,385 --> 00:00:37,605 numbers from January 2024. So we're going to go over that today. 7 00:00:38,065 --> 00:00:44,665 We're also going to go over the Trump New York case and how all the liberals 8 00:00:44,665 --> 00:00:47,545 seem to think that, oh, we're going to take all of his money. 9 00:00:47,945 --> 00:00:54,465 But I think Trump knew what was about to happen and he prepared himself for it. 10 00:00:54,645 --> 00:00:58,025 So the people that think that Trump's almost out of money or will be almost 11 00:00:58,025 --> 00:01:02,345 out of money, y'all got another thing coming because that's far from the truth. 12 00:01:02,345 --> 00:01:05,105 Truth so we're gonna go over all of this and uh 13 00:01:05,105 --> 00:01:10,445 you know one other thing is yesterday ukraine 14 00:01:10,445 --> 00:01:19,445 claimed to have killed 65 russian soldiers in a rocket attack now i posted this 15 00:01:19,445 --> 00:01:24,905 up on my facebook page and on our twitter page as well we're gonna get into 16 00:01:24,905 --> 00:01:26,465 that as well because there's some things that. 17 00:01:27,298 --> 00:01:30,198 Raise concerns and speaking of 18 00:01:30,198 --> 00:01:34,078 raising concerns we're going to talk about the outage from 19 00:01:34,078 --> 00:01:38,018 AT&T yesterday nationwide I 20 00:01:38,018 --> 00:01:43,398 thought that was a little weird too so let's jump in real quick here let's let's 21 00:01:43,398 --> 00:01:48,958 let's start off with AT&T as many of you woke up yesterday you noticed that 22 00:01:48,958 --> 00:01:53,058 your phones were in SOS mode it affected not only AT&T but it was affecting 23 00:01:53,058 --> 00:01:56,618 some Verizon T-Mobile phones as well. 24 00:01:58,138 --> 00:02:05,238 But what's weird about this, now I can completely understand a glitch in the system or an outage. 25 00:02:05,518 --> 00:02:12,938 Like, say you're in a city, say like the city of Chicago, and there's an outage in that city. 26 00:02:13,278 --> 00:02:15,158 Now, that would be perfectly normal 27 00:02:15,158 --> 00:02:19,038 because you have a lot of people in a condensed area using the network. 28 00:02:19,418 --> 00:02:23,438 So I can see how signal would be bad, reception is going to be bad, 29 00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:26,138 you know, you may not have the best service there. 30 00:02:26,138 --> 00:02:33,758 But for it to be like that throughout the United States and on multiple, 31 00:02:33,898 --> 00:02:39,738 not just AT&T, but on other levels, is a little weird. 32 00:02:41,238 --> 00:02:44,878 Now, there are some meteorologists that were out there saying, 33 00:02:44,978 --> 00:02:48,058 because people were claiming that it was a solar flare that caused this to happen. 34 00:02:48,418 --> 00:02:50,898 And then there were some meteorologists out there that were saying, 35 00:02:50,978 --> 00:02:55,418 no, there's no solar flares. So if there's no solar flares and they're being 36 00:02:55,418 --> 00:02:59,398 very hush-hush on this, then why? What happened? 37 00:02:59,838 --> 00:03:05,378 Well, my opinion is one thing that I think is going on is maybe it's, 38 00:03:05,378 --> 00:03:08,198 you know, hey, it's a test run. 39 00:03:08,358 --> 00:03:13,298 It's a dry test run for, you know, I've said this before about EMP attacks, 40 00:03:13,618 --> 00:03:17,458 that they are, that they can very well happen here in the United States. 41 00:03:17,458 --> 00:03:21,758 All you literally have to do, you know, remember the China-Russian balloon that 42 00:03:21,758 --> 00:03:24,298 flew over all over the United States? 43 00:03:25,587 --> 00:03:28,967 Yeah, an EMP could be attached to something like that and just go off in the 44 00:03:28,967 --> 00:03:31,347 middle of the United States, and then that wipes out everything. 45 00:03:32,047 --> 00:03:35,747 Knowing that our infrastructure is very weak, very vulnerable, 46 00:03:35,967 --> 00:03:40,467 an EMP attack would be devastating across the board. 47 00:03:41,087 --> 00:03:46,927 They know this. So I'm wondering if possibly what we were experiencing yesterday 48 00:03:46,927 --> 00:03:49,667 was just a dry run of that. 49 00:03:51,687 --> 00:03:55,707 So that's something to think about. Well, another thing to think about in that 50 00:03:55,707 --> 00:04:01,707 situation is, okay, if that's not it, then what were they distracting us from? That's the other thing. 51 00:04:03,147 --> 00:04:08,747 Now, also yesterday, Ukraine had claimed to have shot, or not shot, 52 00:04:08,847 --> 00:04:13,007 fired missiles and killed 65 Russian soldiers. 53 00:04:13,667 --> 00:04:16,747 Now, if this was true, I would say congratulations. 54 00:04:17,907 --> 00:04:22,167 You know, Russia, I'm not pro-Russia, I'm not pro-Putin. I believe Putin is 55 00:04:22,167 --> 00:04:26,627 just an extension of the KGB, and what he's doing is not right. 56 00:04:27,027 --> 00:04:32,107 But this right here should make you think, too, because, like I said, 57 00:04:32,127 --> 00:04:36,587 I posted these pictures up on, and if you want to go check them out, I posted the article. 58 00:04:36,707 --> 00:04:40,727 I posted the pictures over there on Facebook and on Twitter. 59 00:04:41,447 --> 00:04:46,847 I want you to look at those pictures, okay? Now, if for any reason a rocket 60 00:04:46,847 --> 00:04:50,867 blasted, okay? OK, now in the pictures are scorched earth. 61 00:04:50,927 --> 00:04:56,167 OK, and the thing that stands out the most to me is if you're in a rocket attack, 62 00:04:56,447 --> 00:05:00,167 like if you're getting blown up by rockets, wouldn't there be body parts? 63 00:05:00,227 --> 00:05:03,167 Wouldn't there be blood? Wouldn't there be any of that? 64 00:05:03,907 --> 00:05:08,407 These pictures showed absolutely none of that. All these bodies were in perfect condition. 65 00:05:08,527 --> 00:05:11,667 The clothes look practically brand new, like they weren't even dirty. 66 00:05:11,787 --> 00:05:13,507 And they're on top of scorched earth. earth. 67 00:05:13,867 --> 00:05:24,267 That, my friends, is why we have all been saying that this Ukraine war is nothing more than bullshit. 68 00:05:24,847 --> 00:05:30,007 Over the summer, I saw videos of people in Ukraine, you know, getting released. 69 00:05:30,267 --> 00:05:35,247 I mean, literally people partying in the streets where they were saying that 70 00:05:35,247 --> 00:05:38,267 there was a rocket attack or whatever the news was saying about that. 71 00:05:38,367 --> 00:05:43,547 I saw a video of somebody watching that and looking out out the window in that 72 00:05:43,547 --> 00:05:45,087 same exact spot and nothing. 73 00:05:45,767 --> 00:05:52,447 So tell me again how this is all happening. But yet the left wants to continually 74 00:05:52,447 --> 00:05:58,387 try and give billions of dollars back over there to Ukraine. 75 00:05:58,407 --> 00:06:01,627 They want to give more and more money, more and more of our tax dollars to Ukraine 76 00:06:01,627 --> 00:06:04,207 to fight a war that's not even happening. 77 00:06:04,847 --> 00:06:11,387 Now, I mean, I saw these pictures and to me, You know, I'm no expert in explosions, 78 00:06:11,607 --> 00:06:16,707 but if something was to explode, I would expect body parts. I would expect blood. 79 00:06:16,807 --> 00:06:18,847 I would expect carnage. 80 00:06:19,027 --> 00:06:20,687 And there was absolutely none there. 81 00:06:21,789 --> 00:06:28,289 So you be the judge. Go over on our socials. Go check out those pictures and see for yourself. 82 00:06:28,869 --> 00:06:32,469 I mean, the only other thing, I don't know why Ukraine would want to do this. 83 00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:38,209 I mean, maybe it's to bolster, you know, get their guys going again. 84 00:06:38,449 --> 00:06:41,529 But, I mean, wouldn't this really piss off Putin? 85 00:06:42,109 --> 00:06:46,209 I mean, you're literally saying that you killed 65 of his soldiers when, 86 00:06:46,289 --> 00:06:47,889 in fact, you honestly didn't. 87 00:06:48,149 --> 00:06:51,349 I mean, Putin's just over there probably laughing at us. and 88 00:06:51,349 --> 00:06:54,549 laughing at ukraine like you guys are dumb i mean 89 00:06:54,549 --> 00:06:58,729 literally i don't know what they're thinking so that 90 00:06:58,729 --> 00:07:03,989 you can go look at it it's proven we've seen videos of them staging stuff before 91 00:07:03,989 --> 00:07:10,489 i've shared them where they had all these bodies you know just all out in this 92 00:07:10,489 --> 00:07:15,829 like open area and somebody's hands moving you know it's like and they put the 93 00:07:15,829 --> 00:07:17,069 hand back in there it's like Like, really? 94 00:07:17,289 --> 00:07:23,869 Or what about the supposed dead babies over there in Israel and Gaza when they 95 00:07:23,869 --> 00:07:26,789 actually looked 100% literally fake? 96 00:07:27,569 --> 00:07:31,809 So you be the judge of it. Go check it out. So, yeah. 97 00:07:33,249 --> 00:07:36,889 Here. That was an awfully long pause, I know. 98 00:07:37,969 --> 00:07:40,749 Yeah, that was like, whew, that was a lot of stuff right there. 99 00:07:40,749 --> 00:07:46,269 So the next thing I want to get into is I want to talk to you before we talk 100 00:07:46,269 --> 00:07:49,449 about Trump I want to talk to you about the inflation numbers the one thing 101 00:07:49,449 --> 00:07:53,749 I forgot and I do apologize to you guys I forgot to bring up in my previous 102 00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:57,869 a couple of my previous episodes when I was talking about the 16th of February 103 00:07:58,309 --> 00:08:01,569 This is one of the things that was released at that time, 104 00:08:02,169 --> 00:08:03,909 because you know. 105 00:08:05,288 --> 00:08:08,768 You know, they're not going to tell you everything.

I know it's week to week. 142 00:11:06,049 --> 00:11:10,249 When we go to the grocery store, we're paying more and more for the same shit. 143 00:11:10,909 --> 00:11:14,749 But Joe Biden's over there saying, you know, his Super Bowl commercial about 144 00:11:14,749 --> 00:11:21,569 that is basically, he basically told you all that Bidenomics sucks.

Bravo, idiots. 164 00:12:53,174 --> 00:12:57,074 That's all I'm going to say about that. Now, let's move on. 165 00:12:57,634 --> 00:13:02,554 Let's move on to... I'm going to save Trump for last. I think Trump deserves to be last. 166 00:13:03,947 --> 00:13:07,127 Let's talk about Pritzkirt. So J.B. Pritzkirt over there in Illinois. 167 00:13:07,347 --> 00:13:11,747 And before I get into this, I want to just point out that the ICC in Illinois 168 00:13:11,747 --> 00:13:17,327 and the man appointed to the ICC by J.B. 169 00:13:17,347 --> 00:13:21,747 Pritzkirt, I want to thank you two and the rest of the liberal and Democrats 170 00:13:21,747 --> 00:13:27,627 for your attack on natural resources like natural gas and killing a program 171 00:13:27,627 --> 00:13:33,367 in Chicago that literally would prevent damage to pipes. 172 00:13:33,367 --> 00:13:37,847 It upgrades your system infrastructure. 173 00:13:38,187 --> 00:13:40,227 There's a reason why they don't want you to upgrade the infrastructure. 174 00:13:40,807 --> 00:13:45,107 But they effectively killed it, which killed thousands of jobs in Chicago. 175 00:13:46,047 --> 00:13:50,367 So, and again, I put this up on social media along with the video. 176 00:13:51,147 --> 00:13:56,807 So I want to thank you guys for doing this because hopefully now this will allow 177 00:13:56,807 --> 00:14:00,387 union workers to actually wake the fuck up, pull their heads out of their ass 178 00:14:00,387 --> 00:14:04,607 and realize that your government and your union stewards are lying to you. 179 00:14:05,007 --> 00:14:11,227 Stop listening to them when they come out to the job site to tell you who to vote for. 180 00:14:11,227 --> 00:14:14,567 And for those of you that think they don't come out to the job site to tell 181 00:14:14,567 --> 00:14:18,947 you who to vote for, I can tell you firsthand that the union stewards, 182 00:14:19,227 --> 00:14:23,787 presidents of the unions, come out to job sites to tell the workers who to vote for. 183 00:14:24,507 --> 00:14:27,367 They tell you to vote Democrat. They give the money to the Democrats. 184 00:14:28,307 --> 00:14:34,587 Why? Don't know. But obviously, maybe now this will, I don't know, wake their asses up. 185 00:14:35,968 --> 00:14:41,868 So let's start off with the good points of Pritzker's little address this past week. 186 00:14:43,288 --> 00:14:47,328 So, and you might laugh at this. So his budget proposal, 187 00:14:47,628 --> 00:14:55,528 okay, the best thing about that he's giving back to Illinoisans is he wants 188 00:14:55,528 --> 00:14:58,448 to eliminate the grocery tax. 189 00:14:59,028 --> 00:15:02,568 Okay. And many of you guys are sitting there like, oh, that's a great idea. 190 00:15:03,088 --> 00:15:08,168 Yeah. So you're going to save 1% because that's what the taxes are, 1%. 191 00:15:08,668 --> 00:15:12,628 So let's just do the math here while we're on this real quick, okay? 192 00:15:13,228 --> 00:15:19,348 So if you have a grocery bill of, say, what mine typically is because of inflation, 193 00:15:19,708 --> 00:15:25,568 say $350 for two people, okay? 194 00:15:25,628 --> 00:15:28,248 And that's to eat healthy, okay? 195 00:15:29,388 --> 00:15:35,488 Now, so I'm going to take the 1% off of that. Ooh, I'm saving a whole whopping $3.50. 196 00:15:35,828 --> 00:15:41,628 So if I'm saving $3.50 each time I go grocery shopping, which is once a week, 197 00:15:41,668 --> 00:15:49,048 so over the year, that is literally saving me $168 at the grocery store. 198 00:15:49,588 --> 00:15:55,128 So, folks, you're going to get $168 savings at the grocery store every year. 199 00:15:55,548 --> 00:15:59,028 Here, you know, I mean, it's not like he couldn't kill the gas tax, 200 00:15:59,308 --> 00:16:03,628 which is 30, you know, which is, it just keeps compounding. 201 00:16:04,068 --> 00:16:05,648 We're paying so much in gas. 202 00:16:06,388 --> 00:16:09,228 No, no, no. That's just, that's too easy. We're going to give 1%. 203 00:16:09,228 --> 00:16:12,748 So like, here's a little Twinkie folks. We're going to dangle this in front 204 00:16:12,748 --> 00:16:13,908 of you and that's all you're saving. 205 00:16:14,328 --> 00:16:18,428 But don't worry. That 1% you're saving, you're still going to be paying even 206 00:16:18,428 --> 00:16:19,528 more at the grocery store. 207 00:16:19,528 --> 00:16:27,188 But with all of that, that's OK, because Pritzker wants he has fifty two point 208 00:16:27,188 --> 00:16:34,468 seven billion budget proposal funds for migrant care and early childhood education. 209 00:16:35,088 --> 00:16:36,568 I said that right. 210 00:16:37,728 --> 00:16:45,888 He wants to give money to migrant care more when we have people in our communities 211 00:16:45,888 --> 00:16:48,068 that need the money more. 212 00:16:48,068 --> 00:16:54,428 But let's give it to the illegal migrants so they can continue to steal and 213 00:16:54,428 --> 00:16:57,628 occupy homes that they don't own, that have been abandoned. 214 00:16:58,128 --> 00:17:02,408 Let's do this so they can continue to commit crimes. 215 00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:07,400 Let's not take care of the situation, our homeless situation that we already 216 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,760 have in Chicago with the people that are already there. 217 00:17:10,020 --> 00:17:15,120 Let's not take care of our black and brown communities down in the South side or the West side. 218 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,380 Let's focus on the migrants because 219 00:17:18,380 --> 00:17:21,100 that's what's important because that's who's going to vote for you. 220 00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:23,700 With the mass exodus that Illinois 221 00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:27,240 has had, it only made sense for them to bring in all these migrants. 222 00:17:27,620 --> 00:17:32,200 Like I talked about in my last episode, by bringing in those migrants that they've 223 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:37,600 lost Cost of people that have migrated out of the state of Illinois allows them 224 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,760 to keep their electoral college where it's at. 225 00:17:41,380 --> 00:17:49,880 And that is why there is such a push for, drumroll please, them to have state IDs so they can vote. 226 00:17:49,980 --> 00:17:52,280 Even though that doesn't matter because the last time I went to vote, 227 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,680 they didn't even ask me for my ID. They can care fucking less. 228 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,940 Just vote. They don't care. If you're an illegal, they don't care. 229 00:18:00,940 --> 00:18:03,140 As long as you're voting for a Democrat. 230 00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:09,020 So let's keep going. So the plan calls for a committee of $182 million for assistance 231 00:18:09,020 --> 00:18:14,360 to Latin American migrants who continue to arrive in Chicago by way of Texas 232 00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:20,820 and makes moves to credit agencies with constant high on Illinois pensions. 233 00:18:20,820 --> 00:18:24,860 So $182 million for assistance to Latin American migrants. 234 00:18:26,260 --> 00:18:31,600 Now, I'm okay with, you know, obviously we need an overhaul in our educational system. 235 00:18:32,020 --> 00:18:37,860 We really do. We need to start teaching our kids everything all about history as well. 236 00:18:38,380 --> 00:18:42,480 Not just what you all want to handpick, but we know that that's not going to 237 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,040 happen because they are going to teach what they want to teach. 238 00:18:46,618 --> 00:18:53,358 So it also, let me see here. Okay, so the budget is tight given that it spends 239 00:18:53,358 --> 00:18:59,638 $2.3 billion or 4.5% more than the current year's enacted spending plan. 240 00:19:00,498 --> 00:19:02,858 So, I mean, where's all this money coming from? 241 00:19:04,118 --> 00:19:10,058 I'm glad you asked that because there's $900 million at least in new taxes that 242 00:19:10,058 --> 00:19:16,598 he wants to impose on people of Illinois. Illinois when we're already at the brink of failure. 243 00:19:17,338 --> 00:19:21,238 I don't know about you, but I can't handle any more taxes. Property taxes are awfully high. 244 00:19:22,138 --> 00:19:24,518 It's costing me an arm and a leg to go to the grocery store, 245 00:19:24,698 --> 00:19:28,038 keep the lights on, gas on the home. 246 00:19:28,198 --> 00:19:33,338 I mean, let's not even talk about the gas, you know, because soon they're going 247 00:19:33,338 --> 00:19:36,038 to want you to convert everything over to electric, which is going to cost you 248 00:19:36,038 --> 00:19:39,318 an additional $75,000 for each home. 249 00:19:39,958 --> 00:19:41,618 Just convert. Okay. 250 00:19:43,318 --> 00:19:46,118 And imagine that if your whole town converted over to electric, 251 00:19:46,278 --> 00:19:50,658 your electric grid would collapse because it couldn't handle it. 252 00:19:53,098 --> 00:19:58,158 So he has, he wants all this money for what we don't need. 253 00:19:58,278 --> 00:20:02,898 And then he wants to do a quantum machine, a computering or some shit like that, 254 00:20:02,998 --> 00:20:06,618 which we really don't need. He wants some crazy amount of money for that. 255 00:20:07,318 --> 00:20:10,358 So yeah let me see other initiatives include spending 256 00:20:10,358 --> 00:20:13,778 10 million to wipe out some of the 1 billion of private medical debt 257 00:20:13,778 --> 00:20:18,578 dragging down low-income families piggybacking off a program instituted by cook 258 00:20:18,578 --> 00:20:22,858 county investing a half a billion dollars to make illinois quantum computing 259 00:20:22,858 --> 00:20:31,638 hub a half a billion dollars to make illinois illinois a quantum computing hub Really? 260 00:20:31,638 --> 00:20:34,918 Don't you think a half a billion dollars could go better elsewhere? 261 00:20:35,798 --> 00:20:40,478 But I guess they just feel that they want to have some quantum computing, 262 00:20:40,638 --> 00:20:46,038 which I think they're doing that to attract the government to set up shop here 263 00:20:46,038 --> 00:20:47,858 in Illinois. Just saying. 264 00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:53,479 The budget also includes $12 million for new child tax credit for low-income 265 00:20:53,479 --> 00:20:55,539 working families with kids under three. 266 00:20:55,979 --> 00:21:01,299 A drastically scaled back version of the $300 per child progressives lawmakers 267 00:21:01,299 --> 00:21:03,959 were pressing Illinois to institute. 268 00:21:05,439 --> 00:21:08,999 So, I guess that's only going to go for low-income families with kids under 269 00:21:08,999 --> 00:21:13,959 three, which I don't, I mean, I agree with, but I don't agree with. 270 00:21:13,999 --> 00:21:16,699 I think it should go for any family that is actually struggling, 271 00:21:16,819 --> 00:21:18,319 but that's just my opinion. 272 00:21:19,439 --> 00:21:25,379 So let's see here. So Pritzker was pandering to minority communities in Chicago 273 00:21:25,379 --> 00:21:29,959 and Cook County with programs like $50 million devoted to, as the governor described it, 274 00:21:30,059 --> 00:21:34,739 attack the root cause of housing insecurities for black Illinoisans. 275 00:21:34,739 --> 00:21:37,439 Why do they have to i mean that 276 00:21:37,439 --> 00:21:40,579 i mean just saying it like that i mean i'm reading 277 00:21:40,579 --> 00:21:43,679 this from an article here and that just sounds kind 278 00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:47,459 of racy to me i mean why why 279 00:21:47,459 --> 00:21:53,859 why why single out like a race like that that's just poor writing i mean i and 280 00:21:53,859 --> 00:21:57,319 i apologize for even reading that that's kind of disrespectful in my opinion 281 00:21:57,319 --> 00:22:05,679 but that's just how i feel so yeah he's talking about about things like meals on wheels for seniors, 282 00:22:05,919 --> 00:22:08,599 assisted care facility costs, adults with disabilities. 283 00:22:09,619 --> 00:22:15,099 They made obligations decades ago for Illinois residents, and now he just wants 284 00:22:15,099 --> 00:22:16,879 to all of a sudden come up with it. 285 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,759 One of the most controversial aspects of the budget is the $182 million Pritzker 286 00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:26,099 publicly pledged last week in response to influx of asylum seekers. 287 00:22:26,259 --> 00:22:32,319 So $182 million for asylum seekers. I mean, it's not enough that we're giving 288 00:22:32,319 --> 00:22:36,279 them a credit card, you know, $5,000 a month. 289 00:22:37,219 --> 00:22:42,039 If you're an immigrant, you can actually buy a house easier than a citizen. 290 00:22:42,539 --> 00:22:45,079 You can buy a car easier than a citizen. 291 00:22:45,699 --> 00:22:50,079 I mean, tell me to stop any time, but these are all facts. Look them up. 292 00:22:53,109 --> 00:22:56,789 When you guys start to like, when people actually wake up and realize this, 293 00:22:56,909 --> 00:23:04,049 maybe then, you know, yeah, it's just, it's fucking ridiculous that this kind 294 00:23:04,049 --> 00:23:07,389 of crap has to happen like this ahead of the 20. Okay. 295 00:23:07,569 --> 00:23:12,149 Yeah. Okay. So yeah, ahead of the 2022 election, Democrats voted for a one year 296 00:23:12,149 --> 00:23:14,029 suspension of the 1% tax on groceries. 297 00:23:14,549 --> 00:23:17,429 Like I just said, 1%, you're really not saving anything. 298 00:23:17,569 --> 00:23:20,369 $3.50 per $350 you spend. 299 00:23:20,369 --> 00:23:23,949 So yeah you're not 300 00:23:23,949 --> 00:23:27,209 really saving anything so even though inflation continues 301 00:23:27,209 --> 00:23:30,169 to cool off pritzker says which he's full of shit 302 00:23:30,169 --> 00:23:35,529 folks are still feeling the squeeze every week at the grocery store it's one 303 00:23:35,529 --> 00:23:41,549 more regressive tax we just don't need if if it reduces inflation for families 304 00:23:41,549 --> 00:23:45,449 from four percent to three percent if it only puts a few hundred dollars back 305 00:23:45,449 --> 00:23:48,029 into families pockets It's the right thing to do. 306 00:23:48,349 --> 00:23:53,389 Hey, Flintstone fat fuck motherfucker, why don't you just kill the gas tax? 307 00:23:54,009 --> 00:23:58,889 How about toll, the tolls? Those are supposed to be gone long ago to pay for our roads. 308 00:23:59,269 --> 00:24:03,529 Have you driven in Illinois lately? The roads suck. 309 00:24:03,709 --> 00:24:08,309 So obviously our money isn't going to jack shit when it comes to that. 310 00:24:08,489 --> 00:24:13,929 So, okay, he's asking for legislation to increase K-12 education funding by 311 00:24:13,929 --> 00:24:19,209 $350 million. in the minimum required by a funding formula that prioritizes 312 00:24:19,209 --> 00:24:22,009 the need, need us districts. 313 00:24:22,429 --> 00:24:26,129 And he wants lawmakers to give public universities a 2% bump. 314 00:24:26,969 --> 00:24:30,709 Yeah. And see, this is, I mean, I'm for it, but I'm against it. 315 00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:34,769 If they're going to actually teach the proper way, I'm all for it. 316 00:24:34,949 --> 00:24:38,909 But if they're going to, if they're going to indoctrinate our children and college 317 00:24:38,909 --> 00:24:41,309 kids, then I'm completely a hundred percent against it. 318 00:24:41,589 --> 00:24:45,569 Go back to the old way of learning. You remember Remember how Gen Xers learned, 319 00:24:45,689 --> 00:24:49,809 you know, when I was in school, you learned everything about like math, 320 00:24:49,989 --> 00:24:51,869 history, science, all of it. 321 00:24:52,249 --> 00:24:58,609 Now it's a sugar-coated half and half bullshit is what it is. 322 00:24:59,829 --> 00:25:03,069 So that's all I'm going to spend on Pritzker and his bill. 323 00:25:03,289 --> 00:25:09,929 Essentially, it's giving more money to illegals and giving less care about, 324 00:25:10,029 --> 00:25:13,969 you know, Illinois people. And we're going to keep doing that. 325 00:25:14,049 --> 00:25:15,709 Oh, but hey, don't worry. 326 00:25:16,489 --> 00:25:22,309 By the year 2045, long-term pension, you know, the state pension and all that 327 00:25:22,309 --> 00:25:25,989 stuff will be 90% funded by 2045 with all of his taxes. 328 00:25:26,049 --> 00:25:30,489 So we're enjoy paying, you know, the pensions of all these fucking jackasses 329 00:25:30,489 --> 00:25:35,889 that fucking don't deserve it because the state of Illinois took all their pension 330 00:25:35,889 --> 00:25:37,909 money and now we're on the hook for it. 331 00:25:39,609 --> 00:25:46,049 You can't make this shit up this is what happens when you vote blue this is 332 00:25:46,049 --> 00:25:50,629 what happens when you vote democrat and they like to make you think that it's the republicans. 333 00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:56,919 Let's be honest. Democrats, Republicans, independents, they're all shit. 334 00:25:57,319 --> 00:26:00,939 All of them. They all have their own best interests in mind, 335 00:26:01,059 --> 00:26:03,719 and they can give a rat's ass about you or me. 336 00:26:04,039 --> 00:26:07,579 The sooner you wake up and realize that, the better off you're going to be. 337 00:26:07,899 --> 00:26:10,919 Now, with that, let's get into Trump. All right. 338 00:26:10,919 --> 00:26:18,219 So, we all know the corrupt AG over there in New York, the judge, 339 00:26:18,479 --> 00:26:25,599 fined Donald Trump $355 million plus interest, which will bring it up to over $400 million. 340 00:26:26,019 --> 00:26:30,899 We know this. And everybody's worried because, well, shit, that's $400 million. 341 00:26:31,759 --> 00:26:36,319 That's out of his war chest for being able to go. How is Trump going to be able 342 00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:37,019 to continue going? going. 343 00:26:37,719 --> 00:26:40,919 Because they all think, well, Trump's only worth 2 point whatever billion. 344 00:26:41,419 --> 00:26:45,919 And I did the math for you on the previous episode. 345 00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:48,979 So go check it out. Go check out the previous episode if you don't understand 346 00:26:48,979 --> 00:26:49,819 what I'm talking about here. 347 00:26:50,379 --> 00:26:56,939 Because I broke it down there. The funny thing about this is Trump is a businessman. 348 00:26:57,299 --> 00:27:02,499 And it's like he's five steps ahead of anything that they're thrown at him because 349 00:27:02,499 --> 00:27:08,419 he it's like he knew this was going to happen hence truth social now truth social. 350 00:27:10,394 --> 00:27:18,114 Has been given the regulatory approval from security regulators to go from the SEC to go public. 351 00:27:18,354 --> 00:27:25,754 What does that mean? Well, that means that Trump can have a stake worth almost 352 00:27:25,754 --> 00:27:29,354 $4 billion with his true social stocks. 353 00:27:29,754 --> 00:27:36,654 $4 billion, folks. The man, it's like he's playing chess and these These guys are playing checkers. 354 00:27:37,654 --> 00:27:42,894 It's like he knew that this stuff was going to happen, and here he is. He has the money. 355 00:27:44,114 --> 00:27:45,694 And this has already been approved. 356 00:27:47,494 --> 00:27:52,474 The fucking lawyer, I'm sorry, not the lawyer, the DA out there in New York 357 00:27:52,474 --> 00:27:58,394 is now threatening Trump if he doesn't pay that they're going to start seizing 358 00:27:58,394 --> 00:28:01,594 assets, which that's not going to happen because this is going to go back to the appellate courts. 359 00:28:01,594 --> 00:28:05,594 And for all you dumb fucks that want to sit there and say fraud, 360 00:28:05,714 --> 00:28:09,734 fraud, fraud, let's look at the facts. We're all about facts here. 361 00:28:10,194 --> 00:28:16,834 Fact number one, you all want to say it's fraud. The banks all went on to testify at that case. 362 00:28:17,954 --> 00:28:21,434 The banks, when you take a loan out that big, they're going to do their due 363 00:28:21,434 --> 00:28:25,354 diligence and make sure that everything you are telling them is fact. 364 00:28:25,714 --> 00:28:29,834 Hell, if I wanted to go get a $10,000 loan, they're going to make sure that 365 00:28:29,834 --> 00:28:34,074 I'm telling them the exact truth. that what I make, what I have, 366 00:28:34,094 --> 00:28:37,554 all that stuff is 100% accurate, or they're not going to give you the loan. 367 00:28:37,734 --> 00:28:41,534 What makes you think they're going to give somebody a loan of three, 368 00:28:41,654 --> 00:28:44,314 $400 million without checking everything? 369 00:28:45,154 --> 00:28:52,814 Okay. Number one. Number two, the banks on record had stated that that Trump 370 00:28:52,814 --> 00:28:59,554 and his businesses have paid back all of the loans, interest and all. 371 00:29:00,054 --> 00:29:02,014 Clean. Done. 372 00:29:03,463 --> 00:29:08,623 So he paid all these loans back, and it's documented in the court case with 373 00:29:08,623 --> 00:29:14,603 no issues, no late fees, nothing late, interest was paid in full, everything. 374 00:29:14,843 --> 00:29:22,543 So regardless if he fudged how much he makes, he still paid back every single loan. 375 00:29:22,823 --> 00:29:28,303 You honestly think an appellate court is going to allow this to continue? you. 376 00:29:28,783 --> 00:29:33,123 That's why they're in such a hurry to make sure, you know, because technically 377 00:29:33,123 --> 00:29:36,323 after this, he has 30 days to appeal. 378 00:29:36,563 --> 00:29:40,763 Okay. They're trying to wipe that out by saying that you had to pay within 30 379 00:29:40,763 --> 00:29:44,163 days. You don't have 30 days to appeal. You have 30 days to pay. 380 00:29:44,663 --> 00:29:48,963 So Trump is going to secure it. Trump is going to go to the appellate courts 381 00:29:48,963 --> 00:29:52,403 and this thing's going to get turned around just like the other one is. 382 00:29:52,623 --> 00:29:55,563 Everything they have thrown at Trump is getting knocked down. 383 00:29:56,283 --> 00:30:00,743 That's why this continues to happen And even by some free chance Trump had to 384 00:30:00,743 --> 00:30:05,663 give $400 million Well this right here should tell you If he's got to give $400 385 00:30:05,663 --> 00:30:07,603 million For this bullshit, 386 00:30:08,303 --> 00:30:15,523 Lawsuit Well he's got $4 billion In stake In stocks with True Social, 387 00:30:16,243 --> 00:30:19,263 So he's going to be just fine He's going to continue, he's going to keep going, 388 00:30:19,763 --> 00:30:25,363 And that right there Is what's going to piss off the left even more All right, 389 00:30:25,383 --> 00:30:27,483 folks, on that note, that's where I'm going to leave it today. 390 00:30:28,403 --> 00:30:33,103 This Saturday, Nikki Haley.
