John Rush dives deep with guest Anne VanderSteel, co-founder of the American Made Foundation, in an explosive conversation unraveling the hidden threads behind the Russiagate scandal. Anne alleges Barack Obama’s direct involvement in orchestrating a political coup against President Trump and shares new revelations from Tulsi Gabbard’s findings. From the takedown of General Flynn to CIA contractor manipulation, they expose a web of deception involving Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, and others. Plus, the hypocrisy of wealthy liberals who “feel bad” about tax cuts—but won’t give away a dime. Add in some vitamin D megadose health talk, Zero Hedge skepticism,
SPEAKER 10 :
This is Rush to Reason. You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes. With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 18 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did! Get a job, Turk! You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 19 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know, you can’t explain. But you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 18 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.

SPEAKER 04 :
I am good. Pleasure to be with you this afternoon. Thanks for entertaining me on my car ride right now.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, we appreciate it. You are co-founder of the America Made Foundation. First off, before we get going, talk about the foundation.
SPEAKER 05 :
Thank you so much. American Made Foundation. It’s a 501c3 with a sister 501c4 organization, American Made Action, where we have the pleasure of educating the people. on their constitutional republic, but more importantly, how they can engage and be active in it in terms of holding this government that we think is supposed to be working for us accountable. What we are learning is they’re anything but accountable to anybody, and that’s our job to fix all that.
SPEAKER 15 :
Speaking of, some of what’s coming out, you know, Tulsi Gabbard brought out a lot of information regarding the Obama presidency, what was going on during his term, some of the things that either he… instigated and or allowed and or rubber-stamped. I mean, we can go down the list of things, and there’s going to be more and more findings on this, I believe, Ann, as time goes by. But, you know, give us, I guess if somebody’s living under a rock, maybe they haven’t seen any of this, but give us a rundown of some of the things that she discovered.
SPEAKER 05 :
Kelsey Gabbard? Oh, my goodness. Where do you start and where do you end? Most importantly, she’s uncovered that the person behind everything that we now know to be Russia, Russia, Russiagate was the former president himself, Barack Obama.
SPEAKER 06 :
Correct.
SPEAKER 05 :
And, you know, supposedly a duly elected president attacking a political opponent, if you will, President Donald Trump and setting him up so that, you know, again, this setup started immediately in 2017 with the removal of General Michael Flynn, with the, you know, as President Trump said, wiretapping of his office. And that was brought to his attention where he immediately relocated out to Bedminster in New Jersey so that he could have some semblance of privacy. They had to remove General Flynn. And from then, it’s been the unmasking. It’s been everybody involved, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers. You know, everybody involved in the deep state coup, but primarily John Brennan and James Clapper have been carrying the water for Hillary Clinton. You know, in addition to the law firms involved, the entire weaponization project called the D.C. Swamp went all in to stop President Trump. And Chelsea Gabbard has been the first person that I can honestly say has stood up and said everything that the nation needed to hear. Meanwhile, General Flynn was silenced for several years while he went through a persecution, including his own judge, the federal judge Emmett Sullivan, who decided after the DOJ dropped his case to continue on and driving amicus briefs and bringing other people into continuing the persecution of General Flynn. So you’re looking at the complete and total collapse of the D.C. swamp the entire year. entity that has been weaponized against the American people and putting a face to it would be President Trump and General Flynn. But again, it’s all about us. They’ve been getting to us through these two gentlemen. And it’s about high time that we see these people held accountable.
SPEAKER 15 :
I can’t disagree. So that’s one of my questions is, and I’ve talked about this on the the program, and I don’t have a crystal ball, so I have no way of predicting the future. I know you don’t either, although you can kind of look at some things maybe that have happened in the past and what might happen in the future based upon some of those things. I highly doubt Obama ever sees any prison time or anything along those lines. I do believe he is one of those that is very much on the edge, if not fully, in the treason camp. Will he be held accountable for that? I highly doubt it. But will his underlings is maybe a better question.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, and therein lies the big question, right? Just what did we learn today? Reported by the great Gary Franchi over at Next News Network. He sent me a text earlier. He said, Ann, I’ve got to be on the lookout for a lady named Julie. Julie was her name that was discovered in an email. And this woman, Julie C. Smith, as she goes by on X, was Hillary Clinton’s 2016 foreign policy advisor once. And now in a fully declassified memo, it is exposed that, quote, the name Julia was the architect of the Trump-Russia hoax. And this, of course, was all designed to distract from Hillary’s missing emails and, of course, again, ultimately destroy the Trump campaign. So basically, this underling, as you so well put it, was allegedly behind the creation of the disinformation plot of the Russia-Russia-Russia hoax. She predicted that the FBI would put more oil on the fire and this is coming directly out of her own emails and she basically helped trigger the entire crossfire hurricanes which had the lovebirds as you know peter strock and lisa page which also resulted in the former pfizer judge uh the pfizer judge rudy contreras sort of stepping back uh and interestingly enough the side note on rudy contreras who’s the pfizer judge who was involved in the flynn situation i learned years ago from an insider in india community that he had a home in maricopa county That was bought and sold three times in one day, and the price went significantly higher. And we are now seeing all the information coming out about the money laundering through mortgages. So, you know, these underlings, there are plenty of them that carry the water for this Russia, Russia, Russia collusion. I think we’re definitely going to see them go, and they’re all going to sing. And if they’re smart, they’ll be pointing the finger at the big guy, Barack Obama.
SPEAKER 15 :
They should, although, sorry, I just don’t see them doing that. You know how that gets when there’s that much influence like what an Obama has. I highly doubt they will. I mean, I could be wrong, and by the way, I hope I’m wrong. I really do. I hope I’m wrong, and I hope some of them actually do point the finger at him, because I, for one, believe, Ann, and again, I don’t know. I wasn’t there, so I can’t prove this. But my gut feeling is, you know, there’s always meetings. You know that as well as I. And there’s meetings, and I’m predicting or I’m guessing that there were meetings that went somewhere along the lines of, you know, this is Obama speaking. Hey, guys, you know what? I’m done. I’m ending. I’m at my second term. Reality is, though, we’ve got to do our very best to make sure that somebody of, you know, of like-mindedness, you know, you know, Hillary, in this case, replaces me. We’ve got to do everything we possibly can to stop Donald Trump. I need you guys to put your thinking caps on. We’ve got to come up with ways to stop these guys. No matter what it is, come hell or high water, you guys have got to figure out ways to stop them. And so in doing so, Ann, and this is my belief, he’s the one that ultimately instigates this.
SPEAKER 05 :
Which I absolutely agree with you there. And, you know, another point that needs to be examined is John Brennan. And is he still talking with people at the CIA? I mean, why aren’t we looking at all the resources we have, like the inspector, you know, the inspector general of the CIA should be immediately looking into determining whether or not there’s any current leadership at the CIA. that has any level whatsoever of communication with the former CIA director, John Brennan. John Brennan has been, you know, talk about someone who’s been central in the entire architecture of this and weaponizing the tools at hand at the CIA, giving it to FBI contractors, you know, unmasking people. This has been a full 100% fire sale of everything sacred in this country just to keep those people in power. And it’s, again… This goes back to the top, and you’re probably right. Obama’s never going to see the overhead light of a jail cell, but I do think we can get a whole lot of people swept up And, you know, put to task and, of course, held accountable in D.C. There’s a lot of swamp to be drained here. There’s a lot. And I don’t think the American people are going to go home empty handed on this.
SPEAKER 15 :
And again, I believe that you’re correct in saying all of that. And my hope in all of what you just said, and this is one of the things that I have said that I really wish, is that. While he’ll see no prison time, I do want his name drug through the mud to the point where, like President Nixon, you never hear or see of him again. In other words, once this is all said and done, he’s at a point where he’s not on speaking engagements. He’s not doing anything along those lines. He’s not making any more money outside of what he’s already done. He is finished at that point. That’s what I want to see. By the way, for him, that’s probably worse than jail.
SPEAKER 05 :
It probably is because he thinks so highly of himself. And his hubris is going to be his own unmasking, frankly, because he truly believes that he has done nothing wrong. They believe that the garbage that they’re making up, including Stefan Halper, remember him? The guy who was also connected back into the whole Russia, Russia, Russia disinformation program. Turns out it’s now very well known to what Tulsi has released is that that guy made up the entire story. And of course, General Flynn sang this from the top of the rafters. But, you know, back then he was being smeared by the entire D.C. machine. And today. These little fine point details, which matter a whole lot into the efficacy of what’s going to happen in terms of holding people accountable, it’s all coming out. So General Flynn, if you’re following him on X at all, I highly recommend you do. He is calling for the arrest of Halper and so many more people to be held accountable for treason. I believe we’re going to see a lot of these people go down.
SPEAKER 15 :
Awesome. Okay. I won’t hold you to this. Nobody can. What do you think the timeframe on this is looking at? I mean, again, this is not going to happen for all of you listening. Don’t think this is happening in the next month because that’s not going to happen. And do you think this happens in the next 12?
SPEAKER 05 :
I do. I believe it has to start happening before the midterms. Okay. I just think it has to start happening before the midterms. We’ve got too much riding. And frankly, the American people, the threshold, the tenor, the temperature of the American people is they’re demanding arrests. Every time you step into social media, you see people asking all the time, Pam Bondi, where are the arrests? Where are the indictments? Why is nothing happening? Why is this not happening fast enough? Well, to be fair, we’ve got a RICO case of the making that we’ve never seen in this country before. This is complete uncharted territory, which we’re going into, John. And so I do believe we have to show a little bit of grace here.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, I know. No, Ann, I’m with you. And I keep reminding people of the very thing that you just said that, hey, it’s not necessarily giving them grace. It’s, hey, we’re building, they are building, I should say, I guess we, our side, is building a case against these rats. And the bottom line is… You want your case to be 100 percent rock solid because, you know, they’re going to bring full guns a blazing from their side. Some of the most high powered attorneys there are in the nation and will be representing the other side. You have to make sure you have an open and shut case. Otherwise, don’t bring it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 15 :
And for everybody listening in, that doesn’t happen overnight, is my point.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. I could do a college-level dissertation on this. I think that a lot of the information, my good friend Colonel John Mills, who’s retired, has been one of the most prolific producers. He was doing these assessments on the first administration right before President Trump came. He listened to Obama and the entire administration. They were creating this intelligence community assessment. Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, and he knew it to be false. So he provided a lot of information to John Durham. Obviously, we saw John Durham didn’t result in a whole hill of beans, but I do believe his information is still out there, and that is what Kelsey Gabbard is looking into in addition to a whole host of other information. I thought with the blowers that are coming forward that are providing information to her on elections that are going to be absolutely explosive on foreign interference. So We have so much more to come. There’s so much under every nook and cranny every time we turn around. All the things that have been wrong with this country, I believe they are coming out. The problem we face, as I sit in Ed Martin’s office last week, is we just have such a deep rot underneath the very top levels of good government now. You know, they can’t order paperclips and expect to get them on time because they have people just working against them in their own department. So, like I said, grace may be the wrong word, but it’s going to be a time thing. And this is against the clock. That’s why I’m saying it’s got to be the midterms.
SPEAKER 15 :
Anne VanderSteel, again, co-founder of American Made Foundation. Anne, how do folks find you and the foundation?
SPEAKER 05 :
They can go to AmericanMadeFoundation.org or visit me with all my social media at AnnVanderSteel.com.
SPEAKER 15 :
Ann, thank you very much. Very informative, and I appreciate it. You’re welcome anytime.
SPEAKER 05 :
Thank you, John. Have a good night.
SPEAKER 15 :
You bet. Have a great evening. Great information, by the way. Follow her, if you would, according to the things she just mentioned, AmericanMadeFoundation.org. Golden Eagle Financial coming up next. Al Smith, where he did an interview of late. We’ll be back right after Al’s interview. Find Al at KLZRadio.com.
SPEAKER 13 :
TJ here with KLZ Radio, and I’ve got Al Smith with me once again. How are you, Al? I’m doing great. How are you, TJ? Doing pretty good. We’ve been talking about retirement and all that kind of stuff, and I was just curious, what do you usually talk about with the folks that come in for retirement planning? What does that mean?
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, if somebody’s close to that transition where they’re thinking about their 401k and where do you want to allocate that, where’s the best place to have that invested? And some people who were fortunate enough to have a pension will have a conversation about that, especially if it comes to selecting a survivorship option.
SPEAKER 13 :
And how does that fit with life insurance and that kind of thing, with pensions and life insurance?
SPEAKER 12 :
If someone takes a big reduction in their pension, that’s what they need to do in order to have a spouse collect part of their pension should they pass on. But that reduction in their pension will only benefit them if the primary worker dies before the spouse. Sometimes people choose life insurance instead. which may not provide quite as much financial benefit, but there’s a certainty that the money will stay in their family.
SPEAKER 13 :
And is that always a good idea to do, or how do you help folks make that decision?
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, it’s kind of a long conversation to some degree, because if someone has health concerns, then selecting that survivorship option is always a good idea because it makes it much more likely that your spouse will collect that survivor benefit on the other hand sometimes the other spouse may be anticipating an inheritance that is amazing and complicated and that’s why i lean on you to learn all about the retirement process al thanks so much for joining us today
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, you’re welcome. Tell folks how to get in touch with you.
SPEAKER 12 :
You can reach me at my office, 303-744-1128. If you get voicemail, I return those very quickly.
SPEAKER 07 :
Putting reason into your afternoon drive, this is John Rush.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. A couple of text messages came in on the last topic about Obama and Russiagate and all of that. And, you know, somewhere along the lines of, you know, wouldn’t it be nice to see some 5 a.m. FBI raids on them like we’ve seen happen on our side? And while I would love that. I think, frankly, the wise thing to do is not do that, because the last thing that we want from our side is to make anyone on their side a martyr, much like they did with Donald Trump and some on our side. Because when you do, you’re liable to have the worst, you know, the opposite or the worst thing happen, which is them being propped up, people feeling sorry for them. We don’t want that either. We have to be very careful on our side as to how we handle things, especially, to her point, heading into the midterms so that we don’t stub our toes and do something that would actually give them a leg up. So all of this has to be done very calculated. So for those of you that are listening that just want blood, and I do as well, nothing would – Give me more joy than seeing Obama go down. I can’t stand the man. You couldn’t stand his presidency, the people that are around him, and so on. And I can say that wholeheartedly, being a part of not only being on air during his terms, but just being a regular business guy before that. That guy did nothing to help the American populace out. In fact, he did exactly what he said he was going to do, and that is fundamentally change the United States of America because he hated it so much. I’m paraphrasing, but that’s basically what he and his wife both said. He was the apology to her. Don’t forget that. When he was president, all he did was run around the entire world and apologize that the United States was the way that it was. He did more damage than… When it came to that end of things and probably anybody else we’ve ever had in office before or hopefully, hopefully won’t happen again. We won’t have anybody like him. But he was worse even than Biden as far as that goes. All right. Article in The Washington Post. And this again, I keep going back to the left. And how they behave, how they act, and the fact that they’re just a bunch of big hypocrites and they don’t really care about people. Now, bear with me here, because this is an article in The Washington Post. It’s titled, They’re Rich, They’re Anti-Trump, and They Don’t Want the Big Tax Cut. In other words, the big beautiful bill and some of what was in there tax cut-wise for a lot of people, not just the rich. This, again, is The Washington Post. So they’re going to claim the rich get a bigger slice of the pie than the poor do. No, they don’t. But just bear with me here. So they pick out a couple of lesbians. Kimberly Hoover, who has been to most Michelin star restaurants on the East and West Coast. She and her wife. So she’s a lesbian. Multi-millionaires from their real estate firms own homes near New York City, Washington, Miami, and Quebec. No surprise there. Actually, the one that’s probably the biggest surprise is Miami, although Miami out of Florida is probably the most liberal of all of the cities that are in Florida. But at any rate, their lives are filled with skiing, fine wine, and long trips to Europe. I wish they would just go and stay. That’s my words, not the Washington Post’s. And talking about the article goes on to talk about how her accountants or their accountants got with them here recently, talking about how they will be saving several million dollars over the next few years in taxes. While many Americans might rejoice at that, Hoover worked hard to stop it from becoming a reality, arguing to lawmakers that she has more money than she needs. Here’s her quote. At some point, it starts to feel wrong. It starts to feel excessive. It starts to feel somehow inappropriate. And at some point, it just doesn’t feel good. Now, here’s my answer to her. If you really feel that bad… about making all the money that you’ve made, there is but one of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of charities out there whereby you could fund them, give that money away very easily, give enough away, frankly, to where you feel more comfortable with life, to where you don’t feel as guilty when it’s all said and done. And believe me, those charities would love to take your money. There would be no problem with them taking your money. So here’s my point. Typical. You’ve got a liberal, two of them that feel bad. They don’t, by the way. This is them talking. Trust me, they don’t feel bad about the money that they’re making, but they’re going to act like they feel bad about the money that they’re making. You know, they’ve got some sort of, you know, rich guilt, I guess you could say. But yet, all the way through this article, I read nothing in here about them donating any of this money or giving any of this money away when it’s all said and done. Maybe I missed it someplace. I didn’t read this word for word. I read enough of it to get a pretty good gist of what was going on, but I didn’t see anything in here where I started to see that, oh, and I feel so bad, I’m just going to donate my money away. They, like a lot of other rich liberals… They might give some here and there to different charities, but it’s pretty well known that liberals don’t donate as much money as conservatives do. And here’s why. Liberals feel like government should be in charge of charity, not a charity. It’s ingrained in them. Their feeling is government can do a better job of handling that, so I’ll just pay my taxes and do what I need to do that way, and that’s my charity job. And they don’t do anything else outside of that. Now, some will. Some will. You know, you’ll see some foundations, different things that are led by certain liberals and so on. But by and large. Liberals are not big donators. And if you don’t believe me and you think I’m lying on that, go look at what, for example, the Biden family gave as charitable donations prior to becoming president or even while being president versus what Donald Trump does in regards to charities. That’s just one little example of what you can go and look at when it comes to what the left gives to charities versus what the right gives to charities. So. She, and I don’t know, I never saw that the other half of the partnership talked in this particular article. What the one gal said all the way through this was, you know, over and over and over again, just how she feels bad, how she’s making too much money, how she would have been fine just paying the higher end taxes, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And there’s a few other interviews that they do in here. I’m focusing on this first one, which was the two lesbians in here. But again, this rich guilt that she and her wife have, there’s a way to fix that. It’s really easy. In fact, you could even do this. You could give more away than you’re worth and then struggle paycheck to paycheck like a lot of Americans do if you want to be that way. Nothing says you have to keep that money. If you feel that bad about having it, that’s what you do. So my point is she’s a hypocrite because if she really felt bad about it, she would have started her own charity or she would be teaming up with another charity. In fact, her real estate firms would be teaming up with multiple charities whereby they give away the majority of their income. But they’re not. In fact, they’re complaining about the big, beautiful bill and the fact that they’ll get to keep more of their money than they actually have right now, therefore feeling even more guilty about being rich. Trust me, folks, there’s no guilt there. They sleep just fine at night. There is not an ounce of guilt there. That may be what they tell other people, but trust me, if they really felt that bad about it, they’d fix it. Because that’s what we do as humans. When you feel bad enough about something, you typically figure out a way to fix it. It’s why there are rehab centers all across the country for those that get into trouble with alcohol or drugs. Once it gets to a point to where they just realize that I can’t go down this path anymore, they fix it. They go to rehab. They go to AA. They do other things to get away from the thing that they know is hurting them. Well, in this case, if they really felt like this money was hurting them bad enough, they’d give it away to where it doesn’t hurt any longer. They’re liars. They’re hypocrites. And, of course, the Washington Post is not going to highlight any of that or say anything along those lines because it’s the Washington Post. So don’t be fooled. Any of you that are out there, right, those of you that are in the middle, those of you on the left, you don’t care because, you know, you’re going to be the way you are no matter what anyways. But don’t be fooled, folks. When you read articles along these lines and you see people like this talking the way that they do, trust me, they’re hypocrites, they’re liars, because if they weren’t, part of the article would say, oh, you know, and in turn, because they felt so bad about all the money they made, they give 90% of their income away each year. They live on 10%. They make a million dollars a year. They live on $100,000 a year. They give $900,000 a year. Even $100,000 they could live fairly comfortable on. You get my drift, though. If they really felt bad about the money that they’re making, that’s what they do. Bottom line is they don’t. They’re proving it through their own actions. So when I read these things, I get really ticked off. because they want to make it sound like, oh, I just feel bad in making all this money, and the tax cuts, you know, the big beautiful bill, it’s just going to add more money to what I already have and what I already feel bad over. You big fat liar, you don’t feel one bit bad. You love capitalism. It has made you filthy rich, and you’re taking that money to the bank in wheelbarrows, and you love it every time you do. So don’t give me this garbage about how you have some sort of rich guilt, because no, you don’t. Because if you did, you’d give it all away. You liar. So again, any of you that read any of these things, please read between the lines on what I just said. And don’t take this garbage at face value that you’re seeing in some of these articles.

Will a doctor let you make health care decisions for an adult and stay informed about their medical condition? No. Before they’re 18, it’s a given. You can make those decisions.

SPEAKER 15 :
All right, several text messages coming in as we speak from the Cheyenne area. So those of you that are up in that Cheyenne area, big hail, lots of rain. Be careful if you’re up in that area. Take cover. And, I mean, I’m getting pictures of hail that’s golf ball size right now that people are texting in, images they’re sending in right now. So be careful if you’re up in that Cheyenne area. The storm looks like it moved right through here, went north, it passed – We didn’t get much here in Aurora, but you could sure see it out our window. So, yeah, if you’re up in that area, please be careful. Jennifer, you’re next.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hi, John. I would like to first concur with one of your texters who mentioned that your first hour was an excellent program.
SPEAKER 15 :
Thank you.
SPEAKER 03 :
Today, you covered a lot of ground. Now, I’d like to speak about that hormone we call vitamin D. Yes. For many years, Crawford Broadcasting ran a program on Saturday mornings called Healthy by Nature Show.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m sure it was on right before, as you know, it was on Drive Radio. I came on, you know, right after it. So I used to listen to a portion of that as I was sitting here in the studio getting ready.
SPEAKER 03 :
Great. Her archives apparently are still online. You can go to get them. She retired after 30 years.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 03 :
One of her guests was a guy named Jeff Bowles, and the thumbnail on him really quick is he graduated from Northwestern with an MBA. He made a lot of money, enough to retire, and then he decided, I think I’ll go back to Northwestern and enroll in pre-med. Well, he did, and he got sucked into the medical library, and he just ended up doing research for years. He ended up writing a book about vitamin D, the history of it and everything about it. His programs on Healthy by Nature were really great. Two points to take away from that. One, when people would ask him how much vitamin D would he recommend people to take that would really make a difference, he recommended 30,000 IUs a day. Wow. I have been taking 40,000 IUs a day. 15,000 in the morning, 15,000 at night, and 10,000 in the middle of the day for the last three and a half years. And it has one side effect. You cannot get sick.
SPEAKER 15 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 03 :
I can hang around with people who are dying from viruses for like a week.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
And I don’t get anything. No, that makes total sense, Jennifer. Yeah. The other thing to take away from it is The body does not actually use vitamin D2 or D3 directly. The liver has to convert it first into something called califediol. It takes seven days from the time you ingest vitamin D until it gets the total conversion to califediol where your cells can actually make use of it.
SPEAKER 15 :
I did not know that, so that’s information that I was not aware of. Thank you for that, Jennifer. I did not know that.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’ll tell you, people in health food stores don’t know it. Physicians don’t even know it. So anyway, I wanted to lay those couple of things on you and let you go. And one other thing real quick, have you ever heard of the Oxford study of children?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, okay. I would wonder about that, because I don’t recall you ever mentioning it on the air, the 1.7 million children that were studied about the vaccine.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I think we’ve mentioned it maybe, I mean, five years straight we’ve been talking to Dr. Kelly. I’d have to go back and look at some of those times. But I’ll tell you this, Jennifer, we haven’t done it a ton. Maybe once or twice is about all.
SPEAKER 03 :
Did you also maybe hear about the Defense Intelligence Agency report that was finished in June of 2020, where they determined that the virus was made in the laboratory, and then they buried the study so nobody could see it?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yep. Yep.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yep. Okay. Charlie also told me, you know how to pronounce the answer to the question of the day. How do you pronounce that? Amygdala. Amygdala. Amygdala. Yeah, it’s a little… Yep, okay, now that you say that, that makes sense. Okay, I get it. I never would have got that. I would have had to have listened, you know, heard that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Amygdala. It’s a little almond-shaped gland right above the ear on each side of your head.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m going to remember that. In fact, I’m making notes. Sorry, I’m trying to type and talk to you at the same time, which I have a hard time doing, Jennifer. But amygdala, that is awesome. Again, I would have had to look that up on Google or whatever. I never would have guessed that. So that is awesome.
SPEAKER 03 :
But when you look it up, you’ll find it actually has a couple of very interesting functions.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay. I will do that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Anyway, I’ll leave it there.
SPEAKER 15 :
Jennifer, you are always such a great caller. I appreciate it. You give us great information every time you’re on, and I’m very thankful that you listen.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m glad to be able to convey it to keep the public informed.
SPEAKER 15 :
You do a great job, Jennifer. Keep it up and keep calling and listening. I appreciate it very much.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you.
SPEAKER 15 :
You’re very welcome. Folks, I mean this sincerely. I know I say it a lot. I know sometimes I probably sound like a broken record. I mentioned this a lot this last weekend when we were out on remote. We’re going to be again on remote this coming Saturday. Again, we’re going to be at the Rocky Mountain Air and Car Show. So if you get out and about, please stop by. That’s up at the Rocky Mountain Airport. We’ll be there all day from, you know, in our case, a show starts at, I believe. 10 cars will start rolling in about eight we’ll be there from nine to one and uh you know weather permitting most the cars will be there till probably two or three o’clock in the afternoon it’s always a great show if you’re out and about in that area uh please stop by and say hi and i know i say it a lot i really do mean this we have some of the best listeners i think of any show in town and i mean that sincerely i don’t listen to other programs But I hear from some of you about other programs, and I will tell you that I believe we have some of the smartest listeners out there. Now, I do occasionally, maybe for entertainment purposes, I will occasionally listen to some of the local DJ-type stations, Country Rock and so on. And I will listen to some of their callers at times call in. And let me just say this. They’re not near as sharp as you all are. I’ll be nice and say it that way. They are not near as sharp as you all are. And I don’t listen to them very often, but occasionally I’ll be doing something where I’ll hear a segment or two or whatever, and I’ll just tell you that the folks calling into those stations are not you guys. Plain and simple. So, again, thank you all for listening. Jennifer, you, a lot of the rest of you that call in on a routine basis. I appreciate you all as well. And all of you that don’t call in, which I know there’s always a lot in radio that don’t for whatever reason. I get it. You’re busy. You’re doing other things. You don’t want to come on air, whatever the case. I fully understand that as well. But thank you also for listening. I mean that sincerely as well.

SPEAKER 07 :
Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560. All right.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right, again, thank you all for listening. I appreciate you all very much. And, again, that last article talking about libs and feeling guilty for being rich and so on, I just had to laugh at that one. I saw another article. In fact, Richard had sent me this one earlier in the week, and there was a guy on Zero Hedge. And this is one thing that I reminded even Richard of. And this guy was talking about basically the economy and it’s not as good as it looks. And we’re going to tank and we’re going to be right back in where we were in 2008. Just look at Vegas. He used Vegas as an example. Well, first of all, and not saying this is wrong. But this is an author, Christian author, who’s kind of a doomsdayer, who’s really predicting the end of the world, the rapture’s coming at any moment, blah, blah, blah, which, okay, that’s fine. I mean, if that’s what you want to believe, that’s fine. But that doesn’t mean the economy’s tanking and we’re going downhill like we were in 2008. In my opinion, it was a completely bad article. Now, it was just an opinion piece. That’s one thing, too, I need to remind people of. When you read articles, this is something I reminded Richard of. When you read an article, there are articles that are written from an editorial standpoint where there’s facts and figures to back up things that are actually in the article, and then there’s opinion pieces. And I’m not saying that all opinion pieces are bad. Sometimes people can write an opinion piece and they can be right on the money. They can be spot on. Everything they’re saying in there is exactly the way it is. Other times, though, you can have an opinion piece like this one where it’s just it’s not factual, folks. It’s way off base. Now, there’s parts of it that are like Vegas. Is Vegas struggling right now? Yes. I’m going to talk about that. Vegas is struggling. Absolutely. But Vegas does from time to time. And I’ll explain that in a moment as to why I think they struggle from time to time. But I don’t think you can look at Vegas and what’s happening with the casinos and the lack of gambling and the lack of people going there and what their housing market is doing in light of that as an indicator of what the rest of the country is doing. I’m sorry. They just don’t coincide. The guy’s got blinders on and or he’s looking so much for a backup of his belief in when the rapture may take place that he’s using that as that stepping stone. So here’s my thoughts on Vegas. And I don’t go to Vegas hardly at all. Once a year. I go for the SEMA show, which most of you know when that is. I skipped last year because of things going on in my family and so on, my mom’s death and all of that. So I missed last year. But I typically go to SEMA. That is the Specialty Equipment Market Association’s big – it’s the biggest auto trade show in the world. has been for eons. I’ve gone to that show, missed a few years when I sold my businesses, but typically I’ve been going to that show since about 1987. So I’ve literally watched it grow over the years. It is the second largest trade show in Vegas. So I only go typically to Vegas for that. Might go one other time of the year, depending upon what other types of conferences and so on are going on, but that’s about the only time I go, first week of November. So I’ve seen Vegas. go from what it was back in the late 80s to where it is today. And the thing that I look at when it comes to Vegas is they constantly, and I think Charlie might chime in on this one and might agree with me, but I think the biggest thing Vegas struggles with is they have a constant identity crisis. Who are they? Who are they trying to attract? You know, for the longest time, you know, I saw this. They went after the family. We’re going to be family friendly. They put all this marketing out, all this different stuff out where, you know, we’re the family friendly city. Well, not really. Not when you look at what they actually do there. No, it’s not really family friendly. But that’s how they marketed themselves for a while. And then they’ve gone from that to, you know, one time you could go to Vegas. In fact, when I first started going there, you could eat pretty cheap. You could go find the breakfast or dinner buffets, and at that time it was really inexpensive to go and eat and do the things you needed to do. It’s not that way anymore. It’s very expensive now. The gambling part of it almost is ancillary to all of the other things that they’re doing in the town. And part of that is, and by the way, I’m not wrong here. The stats will back me up. The younger generations, plural, are not gambling like the older generations did. They just don’t. They don’t go and play the slots and the tables and so on. Charlie said they’re more conservative and more conservative with their money and, frankly, don’t have the money. So they don’t have it to spend. Now, I know there was always those old gamblers where they were down on their luck. In fact, there’s stories. I can’t remember. FedEx. So there’s a great story about FedEx, and this is a true story, where they were completely at the end. The owner didn’t know how to make payroll. He had put enough of his own money in to make payroll. In fact, he had said on a Friday, gave payroll checks out that said, don’t cash these until Monday. And he literally went to Vegas Friday night, flew to Vegas, and took X amount of money, put it down, ended up winning enough to make payroll, and the rest is history. Now it’s FedEx. Those stories today don’t exist. I would venture to guess there’s but a rare CEO that would take that risk in today’s world for the fear of if they lost what they would do to their name and they’d be all over the papers or the, you know, not the papers anymore, but all over the Internet as to how unwise they were and so on and so forth. You’re just not going to see that anymore. In a way, social media has killed that part of it. So you’re not seeing guys take their fortunes to Vegas anymore to try to win at all. I think, this is my own opinion, I could be wrong here, but I think Vegas lost its identity when all the corporations took over and the mafia left. And we all know how it started. The mafia from Kansas City started Vegas and all of that. And that’s the old history of Vegas. And there’s still probably a little bit of that still left, maybe in the old Fremont area and so on, not on the main strip. But the strip has been taken over by corporations, public corporations in a lot of cases. And a lot of them right now are deep, deep, deep in debt. to the point where the Hilton, the big Hilton down there, that’s the Hilton and the Conrad, it’s losing millions upon millions of dollars per day. It can’t cover its overhead. There’s not enough revenue coming in in the people staying in the hotel and the people gambling. They have a huge crisis going on with that particular facility as we speak. Now, some of you are saying, geez, John, how would you know that? I read and I watch and I just see the different things that come in. And when you get on social media and you follow a certain person or certain things, you just get these things automatically and it just comes in. I just watch it. So my feeling is right now Vegas has a huge identity crisis. They don’t know who they are. They’re trying to figure out how to now, once again, reinvent themselves so they can get more people coming back to Vegas because right now their tourism is down. Now, I can tell you this, from all the different places that I go throughout the year and the places I travel to, it’s not the travel and it’s not the people going places. Trust me. It’s them. There are still people traveling. There are still people filling up airplanes. There are still people filling up the airports and resorts and so on. That is not the problem. Vegas is the problem. So for this guy to come out and zero hedge and say that the whole country’s in trouble and it’s just like 2008 all over again, he must not know anything I just said or chooses to ignore it. So I’m using this whole story kind of as a learning lesson that just because you read something from, in some cases, a very well-known publication like Zero Hedge. Now, I’ll talk about Zero Hedge in a moment before break. But just because you read something there, you got to read between the lines and really figure out where is this all coming from and how is it fitting together? Because at the end of the day, that particular article in that opinion piece was completely off base. Now, I also say this about zero hedge. Even a blind squirrel will find a nut occasionally. Now, I kind of look at zero hedge that way. Zero hedge typically is very negative on all sorts of things. I mean, they were one of the ones that as soon as the war with Iran started, where we were starting to drop bombs, they came out and, you know, oil is going to be, you know, 110 bucks a barrel. That’s what Zero Hedge does. They tend to be a little bit paranoid and they kind of get into some conspiracies at times that I don’t buy into. So there are times where I look at Zero Hedge and it’s with a grain of salt. because a lot of what’s on there never comes true. Now, also, I will say, though, there’s a lot of things that are there that very much are accurate, very much probably will come true, and I think they’re spot on. But with Zero Hedge, that happens to be one of those websites that you really have to pick and choose what you’re reading and how valid is what you’re reading, because not everything there is true. If you read everything on Zero Hedge, literally, you’d never leave your home. You would be so disappointed, so disgruntled, so discouraged, you’d never leave your home if you read that every single day. So I don’t. In fact, a lot of times I only read what you guys send me because I don’t go to Zero Hedge every day. That’s not one of my main publications and websites that I go and look at on a daily basis to bring you guys things. So if that tells you anything about Zero Hedge, I don’t use it daily. I rarely, if ever, go there. Typically, only when one of you send me a tip, something that I’ve read, like Richard did, for example. Then I read that entire article, and that’s my two cents on that particular article and I don’t even know the guy’s name that wrote it. I didn’t keep it. It wasn’t that big of a deal to me to make a reference along those lines. But just remember that when you’re reading some of those types of articles. Roof Savers of Colorado coming up next.
