Am I saying that correctly? No, it is
1:49
mid-terminology, mid-terminology.
1:51
And we made this up.
1:52
So my brother Oren, mid-terminology is basically our way of hyping up the elections that to me are the most underrated, right? Everybody thinks about the presidential races, Obama, back in the day, the Clintons.
2:03
No one thinks about the midterms, but the midterms are actually in many ways more important.
2:07
Because the midterms are where you actually hold these candidates accountable.
2:10
You elect a president, and then two years later, you wonder what's going on, what happened.

Paid for by American Independent Radio.

That is Northeast 14th Street and Federal Highway.
1:10
It's gonna be an open location.
1:11
We want everyone to get there.
1:13
Come out, listen to Angie Nixon, get inspired, because we need everyone to get out to vote.
1:18
It's never been more important.
1:20
Florida has so many issues to take to Washington.
1:23
And I'll tell you something that's really important, Rodney, that I don't think people are thinking about.
2:25
Not only has the administration made disparaging remarks about Angie Nixon, but you as well.

So Jay Clayton is a former, at least at this point, they have somebody who's semi-qualified.
16:00
He's a former prosecutor.
16:01
Um, he is taking over as DNI from Bill Pulte, who is a real estate developer.
16:06
If you've ever heard of Pulte Homes, that's him.
16:09
He's the heir to that fortune.
16:10
And Donald Trump had to walk away from him as the new DNI because, um, he's so unqualified even Republicans were like, "It's a no." But the problem with the new guy, Jay Clayton, is that when asked a very direct question, "Who won the 2020 election?" He did the thing.

49:09
I'm, I'm listening.
4:05
What you got, sis?
4:06
Uh, apparently reparations are something that MAGA is in favor of, and now that we know, I think that it's really important for us to act on the information that we have received.
4:16
Now that we know that a president can, without Congress, without going back to Congress, 'cause who knew? You know, there's a fund that Congress has pre-appropriated, as you would know as a former Congressional staffer, that sits there in case there are s- uh, settlements that the government needs to make, so they don't have to keep going back to Congress every time.
4:34
Donald Trump has now tasked his Justice Department to dip into that settlement fund to the tune of, and you gave me this information, $1,776, 1776, in order to give reparations to the insurrectionists.
4:49
Well, now that we know, sis, the next time there's a Democratic president, I don't wanna hear anything about them not being able to do reparations.
4:57
I don't wanna hear it anymore.
4:58
Okay, so now that we understand the uses of power, we get to apply to that too.

12:19
Senators, yeah
7:48
What say you to them?
7:49
Well, I mean, again, you know, if you lean on history, you know, it was not a president that stripped black folks of our humanity during the enslavement era.
8:00
It was the Supreme Court.
8:02
It was the Taney Court that ruled in Plessy versus Ferguson that that black men and women could not be citizens, that they were not citizens.
8:11
That was not corrected.
8:13
And that was about, what, a decade or so before the Civil War.
8:16
And that was not corrected until the Reconstruction Amendments, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
11:52
And
speaker_21UNKNOWN
49:48
Damn.
49:49
I can't imagine the job of the next president to have to fix this mess, 'cause this is a mess.
49:54
Like, he's gonna le- I mean, I'm assuming 2026 we end up in a recession.
49:58
I'm just assuming that, and I think people should brace themselves for the economy to get really bad.
50:02
'Cause when a small number of people get rich and you don't expand the middle c- the middle, and when the bottom gets poorer, there's the, there's no way to sustain an economy like that-
52:05
Mm-hmm.
52:05
There's no...
52:05
There, no presidents don't work with each other.
speaker_5HOST
17:57
Mm-hmm.
17:57
You know, 350 million Americans.
17:58
And, you know, we already have AI-assisted and, you know, sort of machine-assisted deportation.
18:05
Like, you've got this surveillance company that nobody knows Anything about that nobody had heard of it, Palantir, that's helping surveil us.
18:14
Like, we're being surveilled through our phones.
18:17
You, you now, we're already, like, past the tipping point where we have mass surveillance so that they can track and deport whoever they want.
18:24
We have, we have masked people arresting people on our streets.
