Small Talk Small Government

It's St Patrick's Day and shenanigans are everywhere! Deb and Bill discuss the many narratives being busted by new House leadership investigations. It sure seems that the elites are up to no good and don't want you to know about it. What's going on in Ohio and Ukraine? What's happening with Covid and Jan 6? Let's discuss the nonsense. "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." ― George Orwell, 1984 References and further reading: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/03/03/exclusive-jim-jordan-seeks-testimony-from-16-fbi-employees-amid-probe-into-whistleblower-allegations/ https://www.theepochtimes.com/a-lot-more-transparency-is-coming-on-jan-6-house-gop_5108624.html?src_src=News&src_cmp=breaking-2023-03-09-3&est=xrEygP9YLK8Xz0FqpQcScrLgD6ZrqV9wJSQFYNFE1d0xMm0PwG5j3LCmnLvhBd20CLY%3D https://www.theepochtimes.com/defendant-moves-to-dismiss-jan-6-case-based-on-newly-disclosed-footage-fbi-testimony_5110900.html?src_src=Morningbrief&src_cmp=mb-2023-03-10&est=Y843qi4Zl8%2FOnj7rhYJ5gBtKUH1agnMx4ThtF4BtTAS3yIDMduiOA3nrBK26jGJ24SA%3D https://www.theblaze.com/news/tucker-carlson-to-beck-jan-6-committee-didnt-merely-distort-facts-but-fabricated-full-falsehoods https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-us-house-creates-committee-focused-competing-with-china-2023-01-10/ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/sen-fetterman-will-back-soon-hospitalization-clinical-depression-rcna73735 https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts https://usafacts.org/articles/how-much-money-has-the-us-given-ukraine-since-russias-invasion/ https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-orders-norfolk-southern-conduct-all-cleanup-actions-associated-east-palestine

The new Speaker of the House made some important concessions to gain his new position. The House Freedom Caucus wielded some impressive power to attempt to move government (or at least the House) back to the way it used to work, prevent the swampy status quo, and get back to the way many Conservatives think it should work. What were those concessions, what are the ramifications, and what are the most important ones? Deb and Bill discuss all this in this special follow-up Episode 15b. "Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate." ― John F Kennedy References and further reading: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kevin-mccarthy-house-speaker-concessions_n_63bc6602e4b0fe267cb28d26

In some ways, the election didn't end up the way many anticipated. But in some ways, it went better than anticipated. Bill and Deb discuss the election aftermath. What actually happened last November? With hindsight, what positive things happened? We discussed some tight and pivotal races in November - what were the results? Are there any shenanigans? "We do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate." ― Thomas Jefferson References and further reading: https://www.cnn.com/election/2022/results/georgia https://ijr.com/court-appeals-gives-kari-lake-great-news-election-case/ https://www.ntd.com/court-of-appeals-agrees-to-expedite-kari-lakes-2022-election-case_894821.html https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/politics/2022/11/09/interactive--how-new-yorkers-voted-in-the-2022-election-for-governor https://ballotpedia.org/Oregon_gubernatorial_election,_2022 https://uselectionatlas.org/2022.php https://www.fox4now.com/news/local-news/investigates/how-florida-counts-votes-so-fast-compared-to-other-states https://www.deseret.com/2023/1/9/23546941/house-rules-package-what-concessions-mccarthy-made-with-conservatives https://thegrio.com/2023/01/13/byron-donalds-taught-joy-reid-a-thing-or-two-about-politics-and-hard-work/ https://www.theepochtimes.com/election-director-resigns-after-comprehensive-failure-on-primary-day-in-arizona-county-rnc_4644667.html?est=MbtAnlU/xFLXtLboAivKZFT+wCwSVhGghXmPMajlz34BH51FlmKqnyOfijXZUv9aSvs=& https://www.theepochtimes.com/court-of-appeals-agrees-to-expedite-kari-lakes-2022-election-case_4980284.html

Election Day is just days away. Deb and Bill discuss some of the issues that plagued previous elections and some of the shenanigans that are being avoided this time. What legal challenges have been won or lost? What role did two movies play in exposing the shenanigans. We believe that, regardless of the outcome, elections should be fair and secure. What things should we look for on Tuesday? "Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote...that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country." ― Samuel Adams References and further reading: https://selectioncode.com/ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/michigan-election-worker-charged-tampering-voting-equipment-rcna50021 https://www.westernjournal.com/former-az-mayor-jailed-ballot-harvesting-criminal/ https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ny-judge-rules-vote-mail-law-unconstitutional https://www.judicialwatch.org/election-integrity-battle-update https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/10/26/lawmakers-want-to-know-why-pennsylvania-sent-out-240000-unverified-ballots/ https://www.projectveritas.com/news/breaking-fbi-whistleblower-leaks-document-showing-agency-targeting/ https://www.theblaze.com/news/group-may-monitor-ballot-drop-boxes-in-arizona-federal-judge-rules https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/hochul-zeldin-ny-governor/ https://www.truethevote.org/epoch-times-reports-former-mayor-pleads-guilty-to-voter-fraud/ https://frankspeech.com/video/dr-frank-displays-his-evidence-day-1-cyber-symposium-0 https://x22report.com/aiovg_videos/matt-joy-election-fraud-revealed-patterns-are-emergingtransparency-is-the-only-way-forward https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/mar/2/wisconsin-probe-finds-2020-election-riddled-nursin/ https://www.theepochtimes.com/election-director-resigns-after-comprehensive-failure-on-primary-day-in-arizona-county-rnc_4644667.html?est=MbtAnlU/xFLXtLboAivKZFT+wCwSVhGghXmPMajlz34BH51FlmKqnyOfijXZUv9aSvs=& https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/feb/5/time-expose-spotlights-shadow-campaign-that-saved-/ https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/

There is a lot to consider as we approach Election Day. Deb and Bill discuss several major things that are happening, including crime, inflation and economic issues, education, and some consequential elections. What policies are driving the crime wave, how bad is the economy and what policies are affecting it, and why is education shifting so much? We also discuss races in four states that might have national consequences. "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." ― Abraham Lincoln References and further reading: https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/us-strategic-oil-reserves-lowest-since-1985-joe-biden-releases-2022-8 http://www.shadowstats.com/ https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls https://thehill.com/policy/international/3686235-saudi-arabia-dismisses-us-criticism-of-oil-production-cut/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-20/new-england-may-face-winter-gas-shortage-as-us-exports-surge https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/12/biden-threatens-consequences-for-saudi-arabia-after-opec-cut.html https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2022/10/john-fetterman-stroke-nbc-interview-election-impact/671747/ https://spectator.org/biden-open-border-american-spectator-print-summer-2021/ https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/2-people-in-custody-in-relation-to-metrobus-assault-investigation-ongoing-mtpd-says/ar-AA13f7Bt https://journalistsresource.org/criminal-justice/defund-the-police/ https://www.theblaze.com/news/los-angeles-woman-rape-crime https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/feb/17/education-looming-large-in-2022-midterms/ https://marketrealist.com/p/did-biden-send-oil-to-china/ https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/563116-democrats-reckless-spending-causing-rampant-inflation-falling-real-wages-and/ https://fightforschools.com/

Today, Deb and Bill discuss the "climate crisis." How much of a crisis is it, really? Must we move away from shorelines and stop driving our SUV's? And speaking of SUV's, is it really worth getting an electric one? The Elites sure would like us to eat bugs to save the planet. "Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity and happiness of the people; and not for the profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men.” ― John Adams References and further reading: Plan for Climate Change and Environmental Justice | Joe Biden The Sickening Reality of Europe’s Energy Crisis (geopoliticsandempire.com) 1,000 Australian schools are fed insects | The Spectator Australia Bill Gates (Not a Scientist) Posts Bizarre ‘Genetically Modified Corn’ Video to Save Us from Famine (ussanews.com) Amish Farmer Faces $250K Fine, Jail Time and Losing His Sustainable Farm for Processing His Own Meat (ourorganicwellness.com) https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-golden-rule-of-climate-extremes.html https://www.aims.gov.au/information-centre/news-and-stories/great-barrier-reef-not-fine-and-nor-it-dying-truth-inbetween https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/8/2/024024 https://www.nbcnews.com/business/autos/california-wants-ban-gas-powered-cars-auto-industry-ready-go-n1240999 https://www.nevadacurrent.com/2021/06/11/opposition-to-lithium-mine-grows-among-tribes-conservationists/ https://balkangreenenergynews.com/lithium-salts-could-be-declared-health-hazard-in-eu/

Deb and Bill discuss the Inflation Reduction Act. What's in the Act, and will it really do what its ambitious title promises? Are there any surprises hidden within? What is it designed to do? From energy to the IRS, we discuss all that and more in today's episode. "In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.” ― James Madison References and further reading: Text - H.R.5376 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 | Congress.gov | Library of Congress https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/08/15/by-the-numbers-the-inflation-reduction-act/ https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58366 https://www.theverge.com/23310457/inflation-reduction-act-ev-tax-credit-act-explainer-how-to https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/eu-hits-us-electric-vehicle-tax-credit-requires-final-assembly-cars-north-america http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2022/08/11/irs-to-add-87000-new-agents-more-crypto-tax-enforcement/?sh=c1004853213e Inflation Act of 2022: Revenue and Climate Provisions (natlawreview.com) Breaking Down the Inflation Reduction Act (natlawreview.com) https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/86-852-new-irs-employees https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/national-deficit/ https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/08/19/bill-gates-successfully-lobbied-joe-manchin-to-pass-climate-and-spending-bill/ https://datalab.usaspending.gov/americas-finance-guide/spending/trends/

Sri Lanka and the Netherlands are experiencing an unusual assault on farming. Who is making farmers change their ways, what are the consequences, why are they doing it, and toward what ends? How is this affecting the citizens and what are they doing in response? Deb and Bill discuss the similarities of the plight of two countries, and discuss a third country with a recent history of oppression. "Ruling classes have always sought to instill in their subordinates the capacity to experience exploitation and material deprivation as guilt, while deceiving themselves that their own material interests coincide with those of mankind as a whole.” ― Christopher Lasch (The Culture of Narcissism: American Life in an Age of Diminishing Expectations) References and further reading: https://www.newsweek.com/popular-uprising-against-elites-has-gone-global-opinion-1722653 https://www.deseret.com/u-s-world/2022/7/7/23198400/why-tractor-riding-dutch-farmers-protesting-against-emissions-regulations-netherlands https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/11/netherlands-dutch-farming-agriculture-sustainable/ https://www.theepochtimes.com/netherlands-partnered-with-wef-to-subvert-global-food-ahead-of-farm-bans-gates-involved_4589507.html https://www.government.nl/topics/nature-and-biodiversity/protected-nature-areas https://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/natura2000/index_en.htm Sri Lanka: The First Country to Destroy Itself by Going Green? - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics Sri Lanka Has Collapsed Under the Spell of the Green Elites (independentsentinel.com) The Rajapaksa Brothers Ruined Sri Lanka's Economy and Undermined the Rationale for Their Rule (foreignpolicy.com) Sri Lanka's Organic Farming Experiment Went Catastrophically Wrong (foreignpolicy.com) Trudeau's nitrogen policy will decimate Canadian farming

Deb and Bill return after taking care of business to update everyone on various topics. We discuss the latest on the perennial topic of Covid, the press and especially the Ministry of Truth, Spygate, The Great Reset and how ESG is infecting our lives, Hunter's laptop, the ridiculousness of the January 6 "investigation," and how our open border policy is working out. "The people are the government, administering it by their agents; they are the government, the sovereign power” ― Andrew Jackson

Today we discuss the border, and especially what Title 42 is. What tools do we have to enforce our national borders? With people entering our country in staggering numbers, is it an invasion? We know fentanyl is coming across the border, but what other nefarious activity is resulting from the administration refusing to enforce the border laws? "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.” ― United States Constitution, Article IV, Section 4 References and further reading: https://www.borderreport.com/hot-topics/border-crime/exclusive-colored-wristbands-help-cartels-track-migrants-payments-for-smuggling-them-lawmaker-confirms/ https://cis.org/Bensman/Overwhelmed-Mexican-AlienSmuggling-Cartels-Use-Wristband-System-Bring-Order-Business https://rootlaw.com/legal-advice/eng-immigration-101-what-is-title-42/ https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-enforcement-statistics https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters https://www.jacobooyensministries.org/sex-trafficking-is-a-growing-epidemic https://centerforsecuritypolicy.org/fentanyl-the-national-security-crisis-joe-biden-and-alejandro-mayorkas-want-america-to-ignore/ https://nypost.com/2021/10/11/100-million-in-border-wall-materials-wasted-in-texas-report/ https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/fentanyl-seizures-u-s-southern-border-rise-dramatically-n1272676 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/what-is-the-remain-in-mexico-policy https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-02-07/how-much-of-president-donald-trumps-border-wall-was-built https://nypost.com/2021/02/05/biden-reinstates-catch-and-release-policy-at-southern-border/

We discuss the events of January 6, 2021 in this episode. What happened that day, and was it really a violent insurrection? Those who did wrong should be punished, but does the punishment fit the crime? Deb and Bill tell where they were that day, and review the facts that have come out in the past year. "All too will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.” ― Thomas Jefferson References and further reading: https://january6th.house.gov/ https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/newly-released-january-6-videos-that-prosecutors-didnt-want-to-reveal-destroy-insurrection-narrative/ https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/chansley-jacob-anthony https://www.revolver.news/2021/12/damning-new-details-massive-web-unindicted-operators-january-6/ https://nypost.com/2021/08/26/us-capitol-cop-who-shot-ashli-babbitt-idd-as-michael-byrd/ The Whitmer Kidnapping Was a Setup | theTrumpet.com 20 Federal ‘Assets’ Embedded at Capitol on Jan. 6, Defense Attorney Claims (theepochtimes.com) theTrumpet.com | World News, Economics and Analysis Based on Bible Prophecy Judge Acquits Jan. 6 Defendant on All Charges (theepochtimes.com) https://rumble.com/vn317a-fbi-busts-fbi-terror-plot.html

Today we discuss Hunter Biden's Laptop. The corporate media is finally reporting on it after a year and a half. What is it, where did it come from, and how do we know it's authentic? Are there national security implications? How is Joe Biden involved? We also discuss interesting connections between the Biden family and current world events. "If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed.” ― Thomas Jefferson References and further reading: https://thefederalist.com/2022/03/22/8-joe-biden-scandals-inside-hunter-bidens-macbook-that-corporate-media-just-admitted-is-legit/ "The Laptop From Hell" Miranda Devine https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU00/20191211/110331/HMKP-116-JU00-20191211-SD984.pdf https://nypost.com/2022/03/25/two-thirds-of-americans-say-hunter-biden-laptop-important-story-poll/ https://biggs.house.gov/media/in-the-news/hunter-biden-laptop-claims-5-fast-facts-you-need-know Intelligence agency leadership letter: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000175-4393-d7aa-af77-579f9b330000 MRC Poll: https://cdn.mrc.org/TPC-MRC+Biden+Voter+Messaging+Survey+Analysis+Nov+2020_final.pdf https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-china-laptop/ https://ragnarforseti.substack.com/p/ukrainian-billionaire-oligarch-ihor?s=r

Today we discuss The Great Reset. Who had the idea, who is involved, what are the guiding principles, what are the implications, and how transformational is it really? More importantly, how can we identify it in our everyday lives and what can be done to protect ourselves? "Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.” ― George Orwell References and further reading: Covid-19: The Great Reset by Klaus Schwab & Theirry Malleret https://www.redressonline.com/2021/11/what-does-bill-gates-mean-by-population-control/ https://followthemoney.com/preparing-for-the-collapse-of-the-petrodollar-system-part-1/ https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/ https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/what-is-the-fourth-industrial-revolution/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zUjsEaKbkM https://ammo.com/articles/the-great-reset https://www.themarissalong.com/what-is-the-great-reset/ https://kingdomwinds.com/great-reset-the-fourth-industrial-revolution/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-ukraine-corporations-pull-out-invasion/ https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/01/1110292

Today we discuss the Spygate conspiracy. It was once a "well known fact" that Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election (and still is a "fact", to some). With the benefit on hindsight and Durham's long-running investigations, we start to see what really happened in 2016 and 2017 and the players in this conspiracy. We discuss the timeline, potential implications for trust in government, and whether this conspiracy could have impeded US-Russia relations for several years. "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group.” ― Franklin Delano Roosevelt References and further reading: https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/the-durham-report-special-counsel-court-filing-stirs-up-accusations/ https://www.lawfareblog.com/durham-investigation-what-we-know-and-what-it-means https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/595235-john-durham-sent-a-message-to-the-attorney-general-and-the Operation Condor: How NSA Director Mike Rogers Saved the US from a Massive Constitutional Crisis: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2018/01/05/operation-condor-how-nsa-director-mike-rogers-saved-the-u-s-from-a-massive-constitutional-crisis/ Dan Bongino #628: The Biggest Scandal In American History Is Unfolding: https://m.soundcloud.com/dan-bongino/ep-628-the-biggest-scandal-in-american-history-is-unfolding The Epoch Times Spygate Flowchart: https://www.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2018/10/12/155ceb67b93fc0bb_ttl7dayAWn_EPOCH_TIMES_SPYGATE_LOW_RES.jpg Inside the Two Pronged Effort to Concoct the Trump Russia Collusion Narrative: https://www.theepochtimes.com/premiering-730pm-et-jeff-carlson-and-hans-mahncke-inside-the-two-pronged-effort-to-concoct-the-trump-russia-collusion-narrative_4294421.html The timeline of Trump’s ties with Russia lines up with allegations of conspiracy and misconduct: https://www.yahoo.com/news/timeline-trumps-ties-russia-lines-215909539.html Tech exec used access to White House computers to look for dirt on Trump, says special council: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/tech-exec-used-access-white-house-computers-look-dirt-trump-says-speci-rcna16123

We will discuss the corporate media in this episode. How are we being manipulated, who is gaslighting us, and is there anyone to trust?

Today we continue our Covid discussion. We talk about the latest on mandates in the US, the latest research about the effect of the mandates, and where this crazy virus originated. “A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody.” ― Thomas Paine References and further reading: "The Real Anthony Fauci" by Robert F.

Today we discuss all things Covid! We have a talk with a healthy dose of statistics, talk of mandates around the world, and possible treatments. “I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery.” ― Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Who are Bill and Deb? What is this podcast all about? We discuss our influences, life shaping events, red pill moments, sources, philosophies, and our goals for this podcast.
