Welcome back. Another episode of our interesting times. It is my pleasure at Peter Kione's back on the show. Pete, of course, is the host of the eponymous P Kunez show. Pete, how are you doing? I'm doing good, Tim. What's going on? What are we going to talk about today? Well, last time we talked was November, and we were talking about, you know, what's going to happen? Was a lot going to happen? That was a decade ago, right?

Yes.

So I think we're less than a month into the Trump, second Trump administration, Trump 47.

And it started out just with the flurry activity.

It hasn't slowed down.

I think it was Aaron McIntyre referred to the flooding the zone strategy and just

keep it going with these executive orders, these sort of executive or administrative moves against

the administrative state, the deep state, if you will.

The biggest thing, at least one of the biggest things was this executive order shutting

down United States Agency for International Development, U.S. aid, and it's exposed sort of basically

the scope and scale as so much of with the federal government and of course the

those agencies or departments or not departments but organizations NGOs if you will

and news outlets media outlets that they're feeding off the trough and basically it's

it's like a huge criminal enterprise that's been exposed and um so uh you've been following i've

listened to your show it is uh it is quite stunning to watch what's happening i'm i'm i am

tempted to believe that it's all just fake it's not really happening so what do you what do you

have to say because it's just too much yeah yeah that's one of those things is like, because of everything that we've seen in our

life, and especially in the last, I would say, 20 years, anything that looks like change

we have to be skeptical of, especially if that change, which I'm reminded of constantly

by Spurgs on the internet, if that change, which I'm reminded of constantly by Spurgs on the internet,

if that change doesn't involve calling out or persecuting a certain minority group

that holds a lot of power, you know, a lot of power, then nothing ever happens.
