Dr. Jim: So this is what draining the swamp looks like, huh?
One of the things that is completely flying under the radar has to do with executive order one, three, nine, eight, nine. Do you know what that is? Have we heard anything about that executive order? We haven't. And the reason why we haven't is because we have been focused on the myriad of illegal actions by the Trump administration and his minions.
We've been in particular focused in on what Elon Musk and his. Barely legal band of hackers are doing across all sorts of federal agencies by hacking into computer systems and stealing all of our personal identifying information. That right there should lead to one of the biggest class action lawsuits that should be filed.
But while we've been focused on that, One of the things that hasn't been reported on is how Donald Trump rescinded executive order one, three, nine, eight, nine. So what is that executive order about?
It was something that [:So when we look at that ethics commitment that was put into place by the Biden administration. What did it include?
This ethics commitment put in a number of things into place one it prevented people from the executive branch accepting gifts from lobbying firms. It's set in a number of rules banning the revolving door between government and specifically the executive branch and lobbying firms.
It also put in a golden parachute ban, which basically made sure that people entering government couldn't receive cash payments as part of their severance from the private sector as they transitioned into the public sector.
Those are [:The Trump campaign ran on draining the swamp. Didn't do a good job the first time around, and it certainly isn't doing a good job now, is it? Because one of the executive orders that they just rescinded was executive order 13989. The Trump administration wiped out everything in that executive order, and now it's a free for all.

because Trump's two goals in getting elected, one, stay out of prison, and two, see how much he could fleece the American public for.
And with him rescinding that executive order, we are now going to see a executive branch and an administration that is corrupt beyond a degree that even Andrew Jackson would blush.

Why do you think that there are private servers and bots and all sorts of backdoor access into government systems in place?
Who do you think is going to benefit from access like that?
Who do you think benefits [:It's not the American people. It's definitely going to be every adversarial country that has something to gain by stealing from our treasury and stealing from our intelligence operations and who is pulling the strings. It's Donald Trump acting on the orders of the broligarchy and Vladimir Putin.
That is why this executive order got rescinded because Donald Trump.
Wants to make a whole bunch of bank off of the backs of the citizens, just like he did for 40 years as a private sector employee.
cause if you are starting to [:It is time for you to get off the couch. It is time for you to get away from the myth that this band of criminals that just occupied the executive branch is going to be looking out for you because it's clear. They're looking out for themselves and they're looking to see how rich they can get at your expense.
