 production and when I talked to a couple of them they say we're afraid you're going to shut down all the oil wells and all the oil refineries anyway so why should we invest in them. I said we're going to need oil for at least another decade and that's going to exceed and beyond that. We're going to need it. Production. If they had in fact invested in the production to keep gas prices down. Make no mistake if you try anything to raise the cost of Brazilian jobs I will veto it. Hello everyone Dylan Schumacher Citadel Defense and the State of the Union was this week and we got this just wonderfully brilliant clip that came out of it. Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share some Republicans some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security Sunset. I'm not saying it's a majority. Contact my office I'll give you a copy. I'll give you a copy of the proposal. That means Congress doesn't vote. I'm glad to see and I'll tell you I enjoy conversion. You know it means if Congress doesn't keep the programs the way they are they'd go away. Other Republicans say I'm not saying it's a majority of you. I don't even think it's even a significant but it's being proposed by individuals. I'm not politely not naming them but it's being proposed by some of you folks. The idea is that we're not going to be we're not going to be moved into be threatened to default on the dead if we don't respond. I love that clip for so many reasons. It perfectly encapsulates the state of the Union. You have the president who's going to get up there and lie. I mean just bold-faced verifiable lie. He's lying. He's saying the Republicans want to limit the size of the federal government. That's a lie and the Republicans are shouting him down for that lie. They're like we love big government. We don't want to cut Medicare and Medicaid even though they should. The Democrats trot this one out often that the Republicans want to get rid of Social Security or make cuts to Social Security or get rid of Medicare, cut it back or whatever. That's a common common deal. He gets booed. The president gets booed and then he kind of backs down you know. If there was a scrap of anybody who actually cared about the people living in this country or the long-term health of this nation they would scrap Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security tomorrow. That's over 40% of the budget every year are just in those three programs. And then the Republicans are happy to defend their love of the welfare state. These Republicans out here they want small government. Boo! We love our big government. That's basically the equivalent of what's going on. I wonder if Biden would have got up there and been like and the Republicans they don't want to support our endless war in Ukraine. They'd be like boo boo. We love the endless war in Ukraine. It's so ridiculous. It's so ridiculous. It's comical. You no longer have again a party that's interested in conserving the government, shrinking the government, limited government. You don't have that. No major political party either between the Democrats or the Republicans are interested in a limited government. Rather they're interested in a large government which will run your life with their random agenda administrated by bureaucrats throughout the system that hate you. That's what both parties are interested in. And of course it's bankrupt and tanking the economy. That's a whole different other thing. But right the funny part is they're sitting here arguing about who loves the big government more. And Biden's gonna be like they they want to limit it and they're like boo. You know again he's lying but he shouldn't be. He should be telling the truth and people should be like well yeah that's what we want to do. Right. So and then again it just gets better. At the end Biden changes a clip says something fairly indiscernible right. Kamala Harris immediately stands up behind him and starts clapping right because she doesn't know what to do. That's just that's like her job is to stand up and clap when things seem to be going really bad. And then it cuts to I think that's Senator Mike Lee who's just like what the hell does it have to do with anything right. Like that that is a perfect clown show encapsulation of the state of the United States of America. And that's one of the reasons we are past the point of no return. We've been covering this this whole series. The leaders of this nation no longer have any concern whatsoever about the longevity of the nation about the health of the people of the nation. They don't care. They want to treat the system as an endless piggy bank until it completely and utterly collapses. And that's what they're going to do. And that's one of the reasons there's no going back from this. This is going to crash and burn. And there's going to be something else after. And the something else after part is what you have to prepare for. Build strong local communities and governments now. So when the collapse comes you can ride that bump out just a little bit better. Do brave deeds and endure.
