    An Election Nightmare Scenario (Ep 2228)

    enApril 12, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • Predicting a Political Event with a DeadlineThe accuracy of political leaks may increase with a specific timeline, and prioritizing health can help individuals prepare for uncertainty.

      Dan Vongino, the host of the show, is discussing the possibility of a significant political event happening in the next two days, as predicted by Steve Dase in an electoral map. This prediction is unusual because the intelligence community rarely puts a specific timeline on such leaks. Vongino believes that the leak's accuracy increases with the inclusion of a deadline, indicating that something significant may indeed be on the horizon. Additionally, Vongino encourages his audience to prioritize their health by drinking Blackout Coffee and using ShopBeam's sleep aid product, Dream Powder. These recommendations are based on Vongino's personal experiences with these products, which he believes have positively impacted his life. Overall, Vongino's message is to be prepared for anything and take care of oneself in the face of potential uncertainty.

    • Predicting the 2020 Election: Swing States and the HouseTrump's chances of winning the presidency hinge on Nevada, where he enjoys union and Hispanic support. Democrats' control of the House could impact the outcome in case of a tie.

      The outcome of the 2020 presidential election could come down to a few key swing states, specifically Nevada, and the control of the House of Representatives. Steve, a political analyst, predicts that Trump could win Nevada due to strong support among the working class union vote and the Hispanic community. If this happens, Trump would have 269 electoral votes, just one short of the 270 needed to win. However, if Democrats win Nevada, they would have 276 electoral votes, securing the presidency. The control of the House of Representatives is also crucial, as it could potentially determine the outcome of the election if there is a 269-269 tie. The race could also be influenced by potential "shenanigans" and October surprises.

    • Shifts in the Black vote could impact key statesThe outcome of the 2022 elections could be influenced by Black voter shifts in crucial battlegrounds, maintaining House control important for checks and balances, and beware of hypocrisy and attempts to infringe on gun rights.

      The outcome of the 2022 elections could be influenced significantly by shifts in the Black vote in key states, which could potentially lead to Republican victories in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and other crucial battlegrounds. The speaker emphasizes the importance of holding the House after the election to prevent potential "shenanigans" and to maintain checks and balances. Additionally, the speaker highlights the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party, accusing them of covering Biden's legal bills while criticizing Trump for similar actions. The speaker also warns of attempts to take away gun rights and encourages viewers to stay informed and engaged in the political process.

    • Authenticity in Identity PoliticsPoliticians cannot fake authenticity in identity politics or gun rights issues, and attempts to exploit these topics for political gain will be met with skepticism.

      Authenticity matters in identity politics, and attempts to manipulate or take advantage of groups for electoral power will be detected. The speaker, an Irish American raised in a middle-class neighborhood and a supporter of the Republican Party, discussed how identity politics only works when it's genuine. He used the example of President Biden's appeals to various ethnic groups and warned that attempts to reclassify gun owners as firearms dealers, effectively putting them on a list, is a concern. The speaker urged listeners to be aware of these tactics and to vote if they are gun owners or Second Amendment advocates. In essence, the takeaway is that politicians cannot fake authenticity, and attempts to exploit identity or gun rights issues for political gain will be met with skepticism.

    • New gun law requires background checks for gun sales at shows and marketsThe Safer Communities Act aims to prevent criminal gun purchases but critics argue it's part of a larger plan to create a gun owner registry and question its effectiveness. Some fear it infringes on constitutional liberties.

      The Safer Communities Act, which requires background checks for anyone selling guns for profit, is about to take effect. This includes sales at firearms shows and flea markets. The administration argues that this will help keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and felons. However, critics argue that it's part of a larger plan to create a list of gun owners and that universal background checks are ineffective in preventing criminal gun purchases. A debate ensued about the potential for a tyrannical government taking away constitutional liberties, with one speaker challenging David Hogg on this issue. The speaker argued that she, as a Chinese immigrant who survived communism, could not guarantee the US government would never become tyrannical, and therefore, she would never give up her guns. The speaker also criticized the left for not sending their best representatives on the issue of gun control.

    • Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and optimizing metabolism with Lean supplementThe Lean supplement, with studied ingredients, can aid in weight loss and stress management by regulating blood sugar and boosting metabolism

      The Lean supplement, which contains studied ingredients, can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, optimize metabolism, and keep appetite under control. This can be beneficial for those looking to lose weight and manage stress. Meanwhile, in unrelated news, there were several controversial and insensitive comments made about OJ Simpson's death, highlighting the importance of respectful discourse and avoiding the spread of misinformation. The OJ Simpson trial had a significant impact on American society, leading to changes in policing and revealing deep-seated racial tensions. It's important to remember the seriousness of the situation and avoid making light of it, especially on social media. Furthermore, the ongoing identity politics and pandering attempts by some politicians may be driving a wedge between various communities and the Democratic party.

    • Refusing to Condemn Controversial Statements and ActionsCongresswoman Rashida Tlaib refused to condemn chants of 'death to America' and the use of Ivermectin for COVID-19 treatment during a heated conversation with Hillary Vaughn. Jamie Raskin was also criticized for his lack of knowledge about antibiotics. The conversation showcased the political polarization and divisiveness in US Congress.

      During a conversation with Hillary Vaughn in Congress, Rashida Tlaib refused to condemn chants of "death to America" during a rally in her district, instead criticizing Fox News and accusations of using racist tropes. Tlaib also did not condemn the use of Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19, despite it not being approved as a cure. Additionally, Jamie Raskin was criticized for his lack of knowledge about the use of antibiotics in both animals and humans. The conversation also touched on the topic of men outperforming women in sports and Tlaib's alleged support for terrorist groups. The tone of the conversation was accusatory and confrontational, with Tlaib refusing to engage in certain topics and instead deflecting blame onto others. Overall, the conversation highlighted the political polarization and divisiveness in the US Congress.

    • Sponsored by Blackout Coffee and GenU CellPodcast discussed the upcoming election, importance of acknowledging political differences, transgender athletes in sports, and offered discounts from sponsors Blackout Coffee and GenU Cell.

      During the podcast, two sponsors were introduced: Blackout Coffee and GenU Cell. Blackout Coffee was praised for its terrific taste and offered a discount to listeners. GenU Cell's Gen 90 product was highlighted for its ability to reduce the appearance of aging around the eyes and was available with discounted packages during their spring sale. Additionally, the podcast discussed the upcoming election and the importance of acknowledging the differences between the political parties and their agendas. The podcast also touched on the topic of transgender athletes in sports and questioned the idea that there is a level playing field between males and females in all sports. The podcast argued that there are scientific differences between the sexes that lead to athletic performance differences, and the idea that transgender women have an advantage in all sports at all times is not scientifically supported. The podcast encouraged listeners to be aware of these issues and make informed decisions come election time.

    • Democrats' potential wealth tax and confusion over corporate tax evasionIf Democrats win the election, they might introduce a wealth tax, potentially impacting homeowners. Corporate tax evasion is a concern, but clarity is lacking on which companies are involved. The IRS, underfunded and struggling, faces challenges in enforcing regulations.

      During a recent discussion, it was mentioned that if the Democrats win the upcoming election, they may implement a wealth tax. This tax could potentially affect individuals with equity in their homes, not just the wealthy. However, there seems to be confusion and lack of clarity regarding which corporations are allegedly cheating on their taxes, with experts failing to provide concrete examples. Despite this, there is a belief that some major American corporations may be crossing legal lines set by Congress and the IRS. It's important to note that the IRS is reportedly underfunded and struggling to enforce these regulations. Norm McDonald, a beloved comedian, was also discussed during the conversation, with reminiscence of his iconic SNL sketches, particularly those involving OJ Simpson.

    • Celebrating Norm Macdonald's unexpected humor and memorable momentsEmbrace the unexpected, create memorable experiences, and make the most of every moment in life.

      Norm Macdonald's unexpected humor and witty interviews brought joy and laughter to people's lives, and his influence can still be felt, even in unexpected places like commercials. Additionally, it's important to create memorable experiences and build memories in life, as they are the moments we tend to remember the most. Whether it's through humor, adventure, or simply getting out and living life, we should strive to make the most of every moment. Norm's unexpected and memorable interactions, both on and off-screen, serve as a reminder to do just that.

    • The significance of dying for one's faithReligious beliefs provide identity and belonging, leading some to die for them, but it's crucial to consider historical evidence and motivations behind such sacrifices.

      While people have the right to challenge and question religious beliefs, it's important to consider the historical evidence and motivations behind why people have died for their faith. The speaker argues that the willingness of Jesus' disciples to die for their belief in his resurrection is evidence that they had personally experienced it. However, Dan McClellan, a popular figure on TikTok, challenges this notion, suggesting that people have died for false beliefs throughout history. The speaker counters this by pointing out that religious beliefs often serve as a source of identity and belonging, motivating people to sacrifice themselves for something larger than themselves. Ultimately, the speaker encourages listeners to explore different perspectives on faith and religion, while acknowledging the importance of being able to defend one's own beliefs.

    • Exploring doubts about the authenticity of faithOpen dialogue and questioning faith is important, but it's also essential to respectfully defend beliefs and consider the commitment of those involved.

      Open dialogue and questioning one's faith is essential. During a discussion, a guest argued that the resurrected Jesus' followers' brutal deaths raise doubts about the authenticity of their belief. While the guest's argument was compelling, the speaker felt that it didn't fully address the specific point about the followers' commitment to their faith and martyrdom. The speaker encouraged everyone to watch and question various perspectives and defend their beliefs respectfully. In other news, the ongoing impeachment trial of Alejandro Mayorkas for border issues could be damaging to the Democrats politically, even if a conviction is unlikely due to the numbers game. The political process of impeachment is crucial, and a conviction may not carry significant weight in this case. The border crisis and potential presence of terrorists in the country are concerns that should be addressed.

    • Discrepancy between Biden admin powers and immigration situationThe Biden administration faces challenges in managing immigration despite having the same authorities as the previous administration. Higher numbers of illegal immigrants arriving and inconsistent handling of wrongdoing within government fuel concerns.

      There seems to be a disconnect between the powers held by the Biden administration and the current state of immigration at the border. While they have the same authorities as the previous administration, the numbers of immigrants arriving illegally are significantly higher. This discrepancy has led to questions about why the situation has worsened and why authorities, such as DHS, appear unwilling or unable to address it. Another issue raised during the discussion was the apparent inconsistency in handling allegations of wrongdoing within the government. For instance, an employee of DHS, who was allegedly celebrating a terrorist attack online, was still reportedly on the payroll, while those who were present at the Capitol during the January 6th protests were swiftly terminated. These inconsistencies have fueled concerns about favoritism and accountability within the government.

    • Significant changes coming to electoral mapPrepare for potential electoral changes, download Rumble app, and stay informed on rumble.com/bongino

      There is a high likelihood of significant changes coming to the electoral map in the near future. Dan Bongino, in his recent broadcast, urged his audience to pay close attention to this development and to ensure that their representatives and state delegations are prepared. He acknowledged that things did not go as planned during the broadcast, but emphasized the importance of the beginning part of the discussion. He encouraged viewers to download the Rumble app and watch on their desktops at rumble.com/bongino. Despite the failure to produce an eight plus product that day, Bongino expressed his appreciation to his audience and promised to be back on Monday. This suggests that the electoral changes could be significant and may require immediate action from those affected.

    Doll: Why Quadra Island and/or Area C needs a Community Association

    Doll: Why Quadra Island and/or Area C needs a Community Association
    Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - One of the key points that Marc Doll keeps mentioning, in his campaign to become Regional Director of Area C, is the need to form a community Association. In today’s interview he explains why. “There’s significant differences between a Community Association and an Advisory Council,” explained Doll. “It’s created by the Regional Director, for the Regional Director. It is an attempt to give the Regional Director some input from a select group of people on the island.” “A community association, on the other hand, is created for the community by the community. It is independent of a Regional Director, but it’s process of how it proceeds with discussions, how it attacks issues informs the regional director while it’s doing the work of the community association at the same time. So it’s more of a parallel process, it’s independent, it’s democratic. Those are some of the significant differences.” Q/Why is this important? “Well, I think it’s incredibly important on basic democratic principles, on community building and community organizational principles. The other thing is in terms of effectiveness, a regional director is one person who has, in our case, two votes on a council with 35 votes. There is limited power that comes with the voice of one.” “However, when a community is engaged and working on issues, its voice is more than just the Regional Director table. Its voice extends out beyond that. It also adds weight to the voice that the Regional Director is bringing to the SRD table. Instead of saying, ‘Well, I’ve consulted with my people, and we believe this is the way to go,’ you’re now, ‘hey, the community has put the work into this issue. We’ve gone through a democratic process. Discussions were had. This is the way that Quadra Island and the Outer Islands wants to go.’ Weight really helps move community issues forward.” “Another important aspect of a community association is it isn’t all about working on the next problem. It’s also doing the work of making a community better, of getting groups together, of making collaboration possible, of creating partnerships, of engaging people, getting people to focus on their community. Its reach is much more than just advising a Regional Director. It does the work of community building and making a community better.” Q/How would you go about forming a community association on either Quadra Island or Area C? “We already have a community association in Area C with SNCA, Surge Narrows Community Association on Reed Island.” So we know that it is possible. We have examples on Hornby Island with HIRRA and Denman Island with the Denman Island Residence Association. So we have examples to fall follow. We’re not going to be inventing this from scratch. Like all not for profit organizations, there’s a basic template that needs to be followed. How it’s going to come about is actually already starting. One of the big parts of this campaign is finding those who have the passion for this community, that have the energy, that want to step up and make this happen. And as I’ve spent the last four months talking to people, the number of people wanting to jump on board is significant. Getting messages like we got just this week from somebody saying,’ my chances of being appointed to an advisory committee are small, but I will join a community association in a heartbeat to make this community better.’ Those are the type of messages that we’re getting. We know the interest is there and it’s simply engaging in and harnessing the skills and passions that we know people in this area and on these islands.

    Encore BraveMind: The Future of Advanced Medical Technology with Dr. Skip Rizzo and Chris Merkle
    This week on “Next Steps Forward,” host Chris Meek speaks with Dr. Albert “Skip” Rizzo, director of medical virtual reality at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies, about BraveMind, the virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy program Rizzo created to successfully treat post-traumatic stress (PTS) in veterans. Aside from discussing that groundbreaking technology and treatment in-depth, Rizzo will also touch on how other revolutionary medical technology advancements are paving the way we address mental health. Joining the conversation is Chris Merkle, a 14-year U.S. Marine combat veteran who has directly benefited from the BraveMind technology during his own experiences with PTS. Merkle will also introduce ways that we can all work to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and speak on the feelings of empowerment that volunteering in his own community has afforded him.

    Sew Much More: Sewing room opens for Cortes community

    Sew Much More: Sewing room opens for Cortes community
    Kim Paulley/CKTZ News - This fall, Mansons Hall opened its doors to Sew Much More, a place to sew and learn, according to organizers. The idea for Sew Much More had its beginnings at the Cortes Island Free Store, where Marnie Andrews offered up her sewing skills this past summer. The fair weather allowed her to set up in the area just outside the front doors. It was there that she repaired items for the store that were just too good to throw away. She also taught interested patrons DIY sewing skills. The success of those activities set the stage for the Southern Cortes Community Association (SCCA) board to approve the use of the sewing room at the Mansons Community Hall. Sew Much More is run by a team of volunteers, including Andrews and SCCA Board Chair Cora Moret. Volunteers are on hand to guide sewers as much or as little as needed. It is an all ages offering with the proviso that children nine and under will generally need an adult to attend with them. Participants are encouraged to bring their sewing projects, mending and repairs. Unwanted, revamped items are donated to the Mansons Hall thrift store. “Why throw it away, if you don’t have to! The jump in skill needed to get that repair done is not huge,” Moret says. Sew Much More runs on Tuesday afternoons from 2-5 pm at Mansons Hall. There is no cost to participants.

    Empowering Survivors of Human Trafficking w/ Gayle Smith

    Empowering Survivors of Human Trafficking w/ Gayle Smith
    As a program that seeks to provide a platform for voices on the frontlines of combating human trafficking, Chris Meek is honored to have Gayle Smith, the founder and leader of Dahlia Grove, join him on this installment of Next Steps Forward. In 2016, Gayle took her passion for helping women victimized by the human trafficking crisis and turned it into action by founding Dahlia Grove out of a massive and ever growing need to serve victims. Acknowledging the extensive pain and suffering experienced by those who have been trafficked, Gayle set out to create a plan to address the complex challenges. She will speak to the research she conducted, her visits with other successful programs and how she identified gaps and shortfalls of other programs in her own effort to craft a plan and program to make an even greater difference. While Dahlia Grove is a relatively new venture, Gayle’s experience and work history blend to make her not only an outstanding advocate, but also an exceptional leader. The Next Steps Forward audience will take away many messages throughout the hour, including steps that can be taken to combat human trafficking, how we can all make a positive impact on the lives of those who have been affected by trafficking and how to cultivate effective leadership and team building skills to make a difference in our own communities.
