Well, good morning everybody, and a happy happy Thursday to all of you and yours. It is Almond in the Morning. It is Common Sense Radio and Jamie Alman with you. Pleased and privilege to be back with you while here on one O four nine The Patriot. Thank you all for your birthday wishes. And it's been a great few days. Off headed to Arizona for a little bit to see Aiden to school and just hang it out in the sun. And I know you guys have had a nice little run of weather
with the exceptive yesterday. So yeah, spring is here. It seems like it is. So I am too, so happy to be with all of you. Good this morning, guests. So yeah, we've got Haiti on the brink, and as it has been for a long time. And ultimately I'm going to get into this a little bit later on in the show because at some point we're going to have to re reevaluate and indeed even revisit.
Remember the whole Bush Clinton Clinton Bush Haiti project. You remember that one, you guys, that bipartisan project that they took in gobs and gobs and gobs of money to supposedly aid the Haitians in relief from the earthquake. Remember all that. I remember that that was a big, happy, little HW Bush, Bill Clinton type of configuration, and it was supposed to solve the world's problems. And the globalists were all going to take part, and they were
going to invite all these companies in to do business in Haiti. And you know what they did though, right what they did was they came in and the Bush Clinton team with Hillary and Bill and HW and all the rest of the globalist Lincoln poops out there, I decided they were going to try to lure businesses to Haiti to do business. So they wanted Levi's to come in
and start employing Haitians. But in order to do that, they had to start to tinker with the government there, and invariably what they had to do, and what they did do was they artificially suppressed wages, so they actually they actually created it. Like here in the United States, you see they are increasing the minimum wage, right, Well, in Haiti they went the
opposite direction. They decreased the minimum wage. They purposely suppressed wages in order to get these companies to come in to Haiti and to put their businesses together on the backs of Haitians, and so they suppressed they suppressed the wages there, and ultimately what you had was an entire invention of poverty. You had, you had an entire creation of a subculture of poor people in Haiti, and that you didn't necessarily have before. I mean, I know, Haiti
wasn't doing all of that great before, even post earthquake. But what Hillary and the Clintons and the Bushes all did was they came in and messed around with the government in order to help their globalist masters out there, and to come in and basically build stuff on the backs of Haitians. Well, that
ultimately didn't last long. That this was this was basically post earthquake, uh, And ultimately what happens instead of rebuilding the country, instead of actually making the country better, they just made a whole new generation of really angry Haitians who were working basically for slave labor. And it didn't didn't take long for that kind of poverty and that kind of slave labor and that subculture to kind
of start to work its way back up again. And of course, ultimately, because Haitians were turned to even even more peasantry than they were involved with before the government then of course took advantage of them and manipulated them and controlled them and beyond, and now you have the collapse over there and everything else. This is I'm not quite sure that Haiti would have survived one way or the other. I don't think that's a ford on conclusion that that Haiti was
going to become a great country anyway. But the fact of the matter is, once again you have these globalist Rhino democrats all getting together and leading to what we have now, which is a total breakdown of the entirety of the Haitian society. And you're seeing the blow up there, and now we have
the Marines going in there to protect the embassy and beyond. I don't think that the Haitian or the Haitian government, or even a lot of the gun toting terrorists there are well put together enough to do whatever we might fear they might do. I don't know the level of brains and terrorism that they have there. So we pray for our marines obviously, as they are in there
since Sunday. But the fact of the matter is this Haiti is a creation of a bunch of rhino democrat globalist Americans, and that's why it's blowing up right now. And you don't see Clinton or Bush or any of those people hanging around anymore, do you. You know. See, you remember all the Haiti fundraisers, and Haiti was kind of the new little plush toy for all for Hollywood and all that kind of stuff. Well they're they're nowhere to
be found now because they came in and they wrecked the joint. And that's what Haiti is right now. And so who knows what's gonna happen with our marines and beyond, but hopefully everything's going to be okay. But ultimately we're gonna have to get back in there in some way, shape or form. I'm not quite sure how it's gonna work. But you notice that the US government Biden, to know, all those guys, the Democrats and even some
of the Republicans aren't kind of going near it anymore. They're kind of like, oh, what what happened in Haiti? What are you are you talking about? Saying? Oh, yeah, you know what happened in Haiti? You know what you guys did in Haiti. And they're still obviously you probably have some clothing somewhere along the line that's still made in Haiti, but believe me, it was. It was made totally on the backs of slave laboring
Haitians that had their wages artificially suppressed. I mean, if you can imagine it here, they're they're artificially increasing wages, destroying businesses and beyond. But
they're doing that. But they did that in Haiti with the opposite direction and of course a predictable result, but not before Clinton and Bush and all these carpetbaggers raised millions, I mean hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, and I think Allison you rightly point out that ultimately we're gonna probably see some of the same stuff going on as we have to rebuild Gaza all of a sudden, So keep your eye on that. Speaking of the economy, Janet now
saying, oh, I'm sorry, I called inflation transitory. So all that for you. Also, RFK Junior should be an interesting month as he starts to name VP guys, Good morning everybody, and happy Thursday to all of you. Also going to be following up on the TikTok nonsense. The ban on TikTok that well they're claiming really isn't a bad it's just trying to get somebody else to come in and buy TikTok. Mike is online one. Good morning, Mike, thanks for calling the show Man. How are you,
and welcome to the program. What's up, Hey, I just wanted to bring up the Haiti Q. I don't know if you mentioned it or not, but there's a certain person that owns the miller rights in his company and his last name is Rodham work dondy billion dollars with a goal down there? Oh really? Oh yes, sir, Oh dive down a rabbit hole.
Yep. And that's been for years, so no kidding. So they so not only did the Bush Clinton disaster team, uh create this disaster in Haiti basically during that time, you're saying that Hillary Clinton's family kind of got their fangs into the gold mining industry down there. Huh yes, sir. All you gotta do is look it up. Oh yeah, dive down that rabbit hole a little bit, and all this is this is all They're all gonna end up here. Yeah. And I don't know if you've seen some of
the recent videos of Haiti, but there's people actually committing cannibalism. We're gonna and it's gonna it's gonna come right to our shore. I've seen the video, Yeah, digesting, and it's gonna come right to our shores. Yeah. Just wait, Well they're gonna they're gonna create. In this case, they're gonna create. Actually, because of their involvement here, they're gonna fear it in some way to create some kind It's not gonna be a flotilla type
of thing. It's gonna be an actual regimented refuge infusion here. So exactly, yeah, exactly, And they're going to bring that craziness here. Yep. But this all stems back over twenty years ago when they discovered gold. Gold there over twenty billion now in today's market worth over thirty billion. But all you gotta do is look down the rabbit hole and his last name's Rodham. There you go, and you'll find all your answers. Yeah, Jamie
again, good board this morning. It's a great day, brother, Thank you, Mike. I appreciate you. Good morning this morning, Mike. Yeah, that's another there's another aspect, it's there's another level there. This is such a crime and you know darn well that the news media is not going to cover this with any kind of analytical mind at all. They're not gonna they're not gonna look into this because it's all going to trace back to the Clintons and the Bushes, mostly the Clintons. I mean, I think
HW was involved in this whole thing in Bush. I think the Bush family was involved just as a kind of I never did get that and nor buy into the whole little Bill Clinton HW Bush type of flying around the globe doing their thing. It wasn't that I didn't buy that for one second. But that's what's going to be happening. And as Mike points out, yes, it's not going to be a flotilla, it's it's going to be a refugee system where they're just going to bring these people in right now. And some
people are saying they're already starting to fly them in. So here we go, all right. This week or in March twenty six is when RFK Junior is going to be apparently announcing his VP candidate. It's going to be in Oakland, California. Dential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior has some notable names on his short list of running mates, and it includes former Packers quarterback In Rogers Rogers and former governor of Minnesota and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura seemed to be
on the top of the list. Kennedy told The New York Times that he's talked quote pretty continuously with Rogers about surveying as his vice president. Whether Rogers sort of Ventura actually accepts the potential offer, though, is unknown this morning. Yeah, I might maybe. Uh that doesn't make any sense. Uh. RFK Junior would be foolish to pick an Aaron, right, I get it. I love him because of his stance on the vaccines and that kind
of stuff. But he's not He's not the most articulate guy on the planet. And uh and Jesse Ventura, oh lord, are you kidding me? I mean you guys. You guys know his background. Although Jesse Ventura has a really good, solid libertarian streak, I'm just not quite sure whether or not he's He's kind of this this is this is the time. It's it's really weird that these two names have popped up, of all people on the planet for a VP candidate for r f K Junior. After all the hard
work he's done to kind of legitimize his his candidacy and everything else. Uh, Ventura would be an absolute rollback that credibility. But the Aaron Rodgers thing might be okay, but it'd be considering his stances because he's he's a total anti vaxer, which I love about him, and it took a lot of crap for it. But this would really cartoon RFK Junior's candidcy. I'm sorry to say, but well we'll see, We'll see how that goes. Just
to be very very unusual, all right, your pocketbook. So Janet Yellen is now saying, well, you know, that whole thing about inflation being transitory, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean that. You know, in twenty twenty one, though, you did say that inflation was transitory. Do you regret saying that now as I regret saying it was transitory? It has come down. But I think transitory means a few weeks or months to most most people. Yeah, and that it's lasted longer than that. Yeah,
uh huh. Absolutely, Thank you Jenna for finally figuring it out that, you know, people are really definitely seeing a huge change in their personal economies thanks to inflation. I mean gas is up again and all your grocery bills are up again, and it's incredible. Gary Kohne, who is the vice chairman of IBM, but he also served as former President Trump's top economic advisor, did a really good job with it too. And here is what he
had to say about about how inflation compounds. So you know, when you see a percentage of inflation, it's really not necessarily just that percentage alone. As he explained, adding up those numbers, you're not starting at zero every year. If we had six percent inflation last year, seven percent inflation,
and now we have four percent inflation, that's ten percent inflation. So if you take a basket of groceries at the beginning of twenty twenty, just a simple basic basket that cost one hundred dollars, it costs well over one hundred and twenty five dollars today because those four percent one year, and seven percent one year and seven percent the next year, they add up their cumulative So
it was a huge cumulative effect inflation. So when people are being told consumers, you're wrong, inflations had no, they're right, they're complete right. Yeah, Margaret Brennan, you know this should have been hard for you to figure out even before you interviewed Gary Cohen. It's so interesting that. I mean, I'm glad that she had them on the air, and I'm glad
he laid it out there. But Margaret and CBS, she didn't have to wait this long to determine that the concerns of the average every day American were not overblown. I mean, people, these people have spent time and time again on their Sunday shows and beyond all saying well, but people, just the inflation is fine, the economy is great. People just aren't getting it. They're not feeling it, and you're being blamed for the fact that you're
not understanding just how amazing the Biden economy is. But I'm glad Margaret Brendan handam On, I love all that kind of stuff. But the fact of the matter is it should this should not have been a surprise to her, and it should have taken this long to figure out the obvious. So there's a huge cumulative effect inflation. So when people are being told consumers, you're wrong inflations, no, they're right. They're completely right. They're completely right.
And what they're more right about is we at least finally have gotten to the position where wage growth is faster than inflation, but we had not been there till the last few months, so people were losing purchasing power and that's why people were angry. And then take on top of that the high interest rate environment, where if you thought you might have been in a position to buy a house because you save money, you go out to get a mortgage
at seven or eight percent, you can't afford a house. So people got very frustrated because the cost of their everyday life has got very expensive and the cost of investing in their future by buying a home got nearly impossible. Yeah, well, thank you Faced the Nation for that. And again the housing element is one of the biggest contributors to this sense of economic malaise that everybody is feeling. And if you're not feeling it, then your children are as
they strive to get into their first home or do whatever. And of course, unfortunately, thank you Face the Nation for having Gary Cohen on. You wouldn't see this guy on Neil Cavudo's show, right because Neil Cavudo's too busy flirting with whoever it is it comes on, which is embarrassing by any stretch about how well you know, when I was younger I remember when in the
nineties when interest rates were twice at what they are now. Well, it's a different environment now, Neil. The purchasing power and the and the and the power of the dollar is far far less than it was back in the day when people could absorb those higher interest rates, and there weren't all of these things that were piled up on individuals, including some of the payroll taxes and other outlays like health insurance and things like that that work nearly at a
car insurance. I mean, those kinds of things are really piling up, even sales taxes and property taxes and those kinds of things. So glad to see the great awakening there on the Face the Nation Show, all right, coming up, don't forget Later on Amby Bailey is going to be joining us, the Attorney General, and he's hot on the trail of this racist kid who beat up a white kid in Hazel with the East. We'll follow up on that coming up the All New on All four nine, The Fatriot.
Good, good morning, everybody. It's Almond in the Morning and it's Common Sense Radio. And what are the rock stars of conservatism in these United States? Would be Carolyn Fippen. She is running for the Senate seat vacating soon to be vacated by Mitt Romney, and that will be none too soon. She is a constitutionalist there in Utah. She is a boy mom five boys,
which is always awesome and impressive by any stretch of the imagination. And she loves this country and is ready to battle all of the left wing crazy policies that actually are affecting, especially the border policy. You wouldn't, I think, Carolyn Fippen. First of all, welcome to the show. How are you doing great? Thank you so much for having me this morning. Carolinfo Senate dot com c A R O L Y N for Senate dot Com.
Check it out. Uh. You know, it's interesting because people wouldn't automatically assume that the border would affect you, taught, because you taught it's not along the border. But times have changed and the pervasiveness of illegal immigration is really hurting everybody and trickling into your state. Oh yeah, it is everywhere. Travel anywhere in the United States of America, and people are feeling the impacts everywhere we go. I go to the grocery store and I can
hardly come across people who are speaking English. It really is a different place, and this begins to really change the face of our country. I've heard stories of schools near me where fifty percent of the kids in the classroom don't speak English and they're crying. They're sitting there trying to learn, and they're not being put in a situation where they can succeed. Nor are the English
speaking children being put in a situation where they can succeed. None of this benefits the children especially, and the people of the United States of America. We are all being pinched by our lack of adherence to the law at our southern border. Wow. Absolutely, And obviously the residents of Utah there are tired of the namby pamby, wishy washy politicians like Mitt Romney, who seemingly, if they haven't turned their back on the immigration problem, even aided in
a benetit. So those days are hopefully over, at least is when it comes to Utah's representation. Yeah, we need to make sure they are. We have some options for Romney two point zero in this race, and that absolutely cannot happen. I'll tell you. We like to elect people who just sound really nice, and there's a lot of talk about compromise, right, we hear this all the time. Well, guess what the Constitution was the
great Compromise. Those really big compromises have been made, and now it's important that we all are willing to adhere to the principles contained within the Constitution. And those who are looking to do something else in our nation are the actual extremists. And that's time that more of us get on the same page and get on the right page and do the right things for the American people. That is Carolyn Fippens. She is running for the US Senate seat soon to
be vacated by Mitt Romney in the great state of Utah. Carolyn for Senate dot com. And you were at one time on the Great Senator Mike Lee's staff. Is that correct? So you know a little bit about how things are operating there in DC. Huh yo, I know a little bit. So I'll tell you it's funny because somebody got really upset with me on Twitter last week when I tweeted something about getting rid of the Department of Education.
Actually it wasn't somebody, it was a whole lot of somebody, And there was a response at one point that was, oh, my gosh, this woman's awful. She's Mike Lee in a wig. So let me tell you. I went out and bought Mike leeanewig dot com and that can also take
you to Carolynfsene dot com, Mike leanewig dot com. But truly, we need to have somebody who understands the importance of the restoration of those principles that have made this nation great, that have provided economic opportunity for the next generation, and that have allowed our country to thrive in so many ways, instead of what we're experiencing now. I recently learned that at the grocery store, prices are up twelve percent in one year twenty twenty two, and of course
we all know they're up significantly more than that twenty five percent overall. Just it and came into office. This kind of thing is untenable and the American people cannot continue in this way. Carolyn Fippin, how does this election work? Then? In Utah we were talking off air about a convention in April, and how does how does it ultimately work in terms of the eventual nominee
or how does that operate? Yeah, So here's what happens. We will vote all across the state, in our communities and neighborhoods for those who will represent us at the state convention on April twenty seventh, and they will decide, you know, who will be the party nominee for governor for the Senate seat. And what happens is April twenty seventh, they meet, they make their selection for who the official party nominee is. It will be whittled down
to one or two. If it's one individual in the Senate race who receives sixty percent of the vote or you know, sixty percent plus one, that is the official party nominee. But you know, a whole lot of people in the establishment got upset when Mike Lee took out a sitting senator in twenty ten, I think it was. And so now you have a process where they can still get on the ballot even if they lose in April. And so what they do is you drop half a million dollars, you can get
twenty eight thousand signatures, get on the ballot even though you've lost. And that's what I expect to be the party nominee on April twenty seventh and come out and I will then face in a June primary. Those more establishment candidates
who chose to almost circumvent the system, they still go through it. You can choose to or not, but lose there and then can still get on the ballot in June for a primary where there will be a number of them who will be fighting for that same maybe forty percent to fifty percent of the vote, and I expect to win as the party nominee out of convention in
April. Well, this seems like it's a version of rank choice voting, which is a complete invention of establishment Republicans who didn't want to lose to those who supported Donald Trump. So don't you think right, isn't that what that is? Oh, I'm telling you it's different. But you are exactly right that it's one more way to circumvent the will of the people. While making
arguments, I'll tell you here's what the argument was made. Initially, it was do you want a small group of party insiders deciding who will represent you or do you want the voice of the people to be heard? Right? Well, the voice of the people can be heard if you just bother attending your caucus meetings and participating in the actual process that has been laid out. But now they say, well, we need to deal with this because now you can have more than two people on the ballot, so somebody can win
with less than fifty percent. You know, you guys just created the problem that you're trying to solve. But isn't this the whole situation that we always have with government? Right They are always chasing their tail, attempting to solve the problem that they just created by interfering in things that they never should have interfered with in the first place. Yeah, I mean, these establishment guys always figure out a way to kind of squat on the ballot, which is
what they're doing. They don't want to leave. They're kind of like the relative it keeps overstaying their welcome at the house. You know what I mean, It's exactly what it is. There's got to be another way in every single time. But I'll tell you, as the strong conservative, really constitutionalist Canada in this race and one with a loud voice and an ability to speak to the people, I think this is going to be a little bit surprising.
They've had ten years where they've been able to get away with this and circumvent that process. There's some things that are are different this time, and people really have had enough and I think that could be enough to get us the right candidate ultimately in the US Senate from Utah. Well, and I certainly appreciate you being on with me here in Saint Louis because it is important. I try to tell people that it doesn't matter what state it is.
We all have a stake in who is elected, regardless of whether it's a state we live in. And so because we know what happens in the US Senate, we know how important it is to have strong constitutional conservative senators in the Senate, even if they're not ours. We need them in other states.
And so this is a really super important election. And Carolyn Fippin, we wish you the best of luck, really appreciate your time and know that you're welcome here any day because we love your take, we love your commitment to this great country of ours, and we appreciate your fight. Thank you, Thank you so much. All right, that is Carolyn for Senate. And it's it's true, this is super important here and anything and to replace
Mitt Romney with someone who's a real American will be just amazingly awesome. So that was a ton of fun. Stay tuned. It's Almond in the Morning. This is one oh four nine The Patriot. It's common Sense Radio. Good morning everyone, and happy happy Thursday to all of you and yours. This is Almond in the Morning and it's common Sense Radio. Jamie Allman pleased and privileged to be back with you here four nine The Patriot. You're in the right place, so welcome to the show. Three one, four,
five, five, six sixty one oh four. So I am with the fifteen Republicans in the House who voted against the TikTok band. I am with Rand Hall in the US Senate who says this is absolutely a ruse, a distraction from the real China and from the real China fight. And this is nothing more than a band aid in a way, I believe for the uniparty to avoid true responsibility for dealing with China in any kind of significant way,
because they all have interest in companies that still do business in China. They all have a vested interest in the pharmaceutical industry which gets all of its medications made in China. Pharmaceuticalceutical industry, the number one campaign contributor to our members of Congress and who are you kidding when you tell me that you're a badass
because you're going after TikTok? It's a way to soothe and to passify the American public into believing that our uniparty, our US Congress is doing anything at all about the real China problem. If you really wanted to hurt China, you'd impost tariffs like Donald Trump wanted to do, and like Biden and the uniparty. Well back, come on, who are you kidding? We're doing business with China on a regular basis during COVID and all the other stuff.
You know who is making all the medicines even the vaccines for that matter of China? Come on? Who are you kidding? When you say, well, we're gonna ban TikTok? Then it's like come on, and I don't buy it for a second, and I realize it's kind of the feel good action of the day is to ban TikTok because it's poisoning the minds of our children. It's like, you are a parent, right, you do have children? Right? Do you monitor them? How often do you let them
on TikTok? Well, they're stealing my mind. It's like, well, then don't let them on TikTok. It's that easy. Yeah, but what about kids without parents? Like, okay, you got me there, Well I don't have time. We don't have time. It's like, well, that's too bad that you should have had kids. If you don't have time to monitor them and watch them and control what they're doing, then why did you pro create? Seriously, So, at that point, this ban on
TikTok completely and totally fake. And believe me, you give the House and Congress power to start meddling around on social media platforms and beyond. Just wait until the loons start to want to ban x or any other concoction they can come up with where they can claim somehow that China is grabbing all of our
you know, having all of our information. What exactly are they getting from a thirteen year old on TikTok, by the way, that they aren't getting by stealing our research at universities and by collaborating with us on like COVID research. Right, come on the Wuhan lab. I mean, we're worried about TikTok when we have universities in this country who are collaborating with Chinese researchers doing doing gain of function research and all that kind of stuff. Do I do
I see a House bill outlawing gain of function research? Do I see a House bill banning colleges and universities from collaborating with the Chinese? Do I see a house bill imposing tariffs on China? No, China is eating us for lunch on a regular basis, and TikTok, believe me, isn't the one way they're getting at us. So this is all nonsense. It's all a
ruse. It's all created to give us, to anesthetize us, give us this impression they're actually doing something about horrible China when China doesn't give one rip about this. Sell to an American company. So what I mean, big deal, but this idea, And I realize I'm not in agreement necessarily with all of the experts on this. I mean people like Gordon Chang I've interviewed and he says, TikTok's terrible, but it's not the most terrible thing that
China's doing China. We're in bed with China on a number of different levels, and none of that is being rolled back. No tariffs, no ban on universities still doing research, We still have the Uhan Lab for crying out on that still is in existence. We're still still funding research that's Chinese researchers are doing. Come on, I mean so so if these people had any guts, they tackle the real things that are that are going on, the
real problems that we have, and not TikTok. I've never believed this was uh the biggest deal on the planet. And and unfortunately, and I'm not not on you guys, but on other people. Even conservatives think they're bad asses for going after TikTok. It's like, no, you're not. If you really want to be a badass, impost tariffs on China. If you if you really want to be a bad ass, then then ban US researchers
from from doing any kind of collaboration with Chinese researchers. If you really want to be a bad ass, tell you what to stop allowing pharmaceutical companies to make pills and pharmaceuticals in China, because I guarantee you half this country's taking medication that's made in China, So stop it. Uh. If you really, if China is really that bad and really that much of a threat,
then do something about the threat. Do something about it. But TikTok is the least of the problems we had with China and the low hanging fruit that people of lesser intellect continue to harp on and go after. It drives me crazy, Jake Sullivan. So when we're not really really banning TikTok, where
we're just we're just trying to get somebody to them to sell it. I just want to be clear about what this bill is all about, because a lot of people are going around throwing around the words ban TikTok, TikTok band and the ultimate object of the bill is about a question of ownership. Do we want TikTok as a platform to be owned by an American company or owned by China? Oh? I see, so now the US government's going to
dictate who who owns what ownership of companies is? Is that in any way, shape or form even remotely conservative for Republicans to be going along with some kind of manipulation of who owns what while we're selling land to the China,
farmland to the Chinese, But we just want an American company. Know, It's like, that's none of your breaking beeswax, This isn't this isn't communist America, or shouldn't be at least, But since when does the House or or Congress for that matter, determine who what, who owns what company in America? I mean, if if you want to, if you want to take this down a rabbit hole, you certainly can. But you don't want to give Congress that kind of power or the President that kind of power to
dictate who owns what. While we're selling farmland to China, China is buying up housing in America. You're gonna you're gonna get into that, uh, to the point where sometimes they'll even take over neighborhoods where you can't These are with Chinese interests. You can't even afford the homes anymore. I mean, this is ridiculous. Uh. And sooner or later, you go ahead and
let Congress in this kind of door they'll do. You give Congress an inch, they will take a mile, whether it be on involving themselves in business interests and in American business interests, or involving themselves in talking about social media. Elon Musk and Don Lemon, straight ahead,
