Speaker A
Political violence in this country is officially, legally, on paper terrorism. That's right, guys. This is not a vibe.
Speaker A
This is not a strongly worded tweet, a federal directive and on paper terrorism. Here's the part Washington absolutely was not ready for. President Donald J. Trump signed NSPM 7. This is a directive telling every law enforcement and intelligence agency in America to
Speaker A
disrupt defund debank arrest and prosecute. And right beside Marco Rubio stood Stephen Miller casually explaining who's been bankrolling and organizing chaos for years, kind of like he was reading a grocery list. A very, very concerning grocery list, right? Oh, and
Speaker A
the political class? Oh, they're melting down. Full ice cream in July kind of meltdown, guys, because for years they told you that this was mostly peaceful.
Speaker A
You know, just a protest. Antifa was practically a book club, they said, right? Snacks, discourse, a bookmark, maybe even a tote bag. Turns out the book club had a business model and apparently a funding department as well.
Speaker A
Well, today, guys, we're going to go ahead and name names. Rubio, Miller, Trump, all of it, okay? The media, they had this story and they either sat on it or they fell asleep reading it. Either way, you're going to get exactly what
Speaker A
they didn't give you. Oh, real quick pitch stop, guys. If you or someone you love is on Medicare, Chapter offers completely free Medicare help. Give our friends at Chapter a call right here, right now. The average senior is saving
Speaker A
about $1,100 per real cash, guys. Oh, and if you're new here, welcome to the chaos. Hit subscribe. We called this a long time ago. All right. So, I want to talk about the day Washington got a wake-up call it did not order. So, while
Speaker A
everyone else was arguing about the usual nonsense, polls, gaffes, whatever's trending, Marco Rubio, he stood up and he started talking about something bigger, way bigger.
Speaker A
Civilization-level bigger, guys. Not tax brackets, not midterms, civilization. And standing right there with him, you had Stephen Miller, right? So, President Donald J. Trump's administration in full formation looking less like a press conference and more like a declaration.
Speaker A
Now, this wasn't a campaign rally. This wasn't a sound bite that was built for cable news to chop up and forget by Thursday. According to supporters, this was the moment that the Trump administration stopped talking about political violence and started doing
Speaker A
something about it. So, there's a name for what they just rolled out. It's called NSPM-7.
Speaker A
Now, don't worry about what that name means yet. We're going to get to that.
Speaker A
Just know this, Stephen Miller, he was about to explain it and Washington was not ready.
Speaker A
Here in the United States, we have taken the necessary and essential action of formally recognizing left-wing violence as a form of political terrorism that is a direct threat to our national security and the survival of our Republican form of
Speaker A
government. President Trump issued a directive, in our parlance, it's called a national security presidential memorandum or NSPM.
Speaker A
NSPM-7 to be exact. That directs for the first time in American history all of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies to work together to disrupt, identify, defund, debank, arrest, and prosecute these political terrorists that are operating in our
Speaker A
country. It's very important to understand that left-wing political terrorism seeks as its ultimate end the overthrow of our system and form of government. And we've seen this has taken place many times and many places throughout the years, and
Speaker A
Secretary Rubio's provided you many examples. Left-wing terrorism always ends in bloodshed, misery, and suffering. It only can travel in one direction.
Speaker A
There's no point at which the left-wing terrorist is satisfied with his gains and ceases progressing.
Speaker A
Inevitably, left to run its course, it always becomes a gulag. It always becomes the mass imprisonment of political enemies, the stripping of their rights and freedoms, inflicting immense pain, humiliation, suffering in order to establish complete and total control, control through psychological
Speaker A
and physical and actual terror. And we have to understand that that is the scope and the extent of the threat that we face.
Speaker A
Now, real quick heads-up before we keep rolling, guys. If you're someone who likes to have this playing while you're driving, maybe you're, you know, grinding through a workout, or maybe you're just walking the dog around the block, good news, the Ron Yates Report
Speaker A
is now on Spotify. So, just search for it, follow it, let it ride shotgun wherever you happen to go. All right, let's get back to it, guys. So, here's what NSPM-7 actually does in plain English, no law degree required, no PhD,
Speaker A
right? Basically, what it does is it orders every federal law enforcement and intelligence agency to start working together. Together on one mission, who knew, right? You would think that this would have already been in in in in play
Speaker A
like since the beginning of time. Identify the organizers, disrupt the networks, cut off the funding, prosecute the very people running the whole operation. Now, supporters see this as the moment that speeches turn into an actual government machinery. Oh, and
Speaker A
look, guys, Washington has a very predictable move when when something goes wrong. They form a committee, they hold a hearing, then they issue a very strongly worded statement, and they go to lunch, and nothing happens. This administration skipped all that
Speaker A
nonsense. So, Stephen Miller, he basically walked out and he said, you know, here's a memorandum, get to work.
Speaker A
Now, this is a slightly different energy than Congress usually brings. No subcommittee, no 18-month review, just just disrupt, defund, debank, arrest, prosecute. Now, somewhere a bureaucrat is very confused right now. He was expecting a task force, but he got a
Speaker A
directive with teeth instead. Now, you want to you want to know what the internet sounded like after this dropped? One word over and over again.
Speaker A
Finally, right? Like, not interesting, not noteworthy, finally. Like, people had been holding their breath since roughly 2016 and somebody just handed them an inhaler. Well, it's about time.
Speaker A
We waited years. Thank God. Comment after comment, same energy. People who felt like completely ignored suddenly suddenly feeling like feeling seen by the Trump administration. Oh, and look, guys, I get the skepticism. Washington promises things constantly, all the
Speaker A
time. Washington is basically that friend who says, "Oh, I'll pay you back next Friday, right?" For 60 years straight, they keep telling you next Friday, next Friday. You ain't seen that $20 yet, have you, right? But this time,
Speaker A
people are not reacting to a promise. They're reacting to Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller actually doing the thing.
Speaker A
Now, that's that's rare enough to feel like a holiday, you know what I'm saying? Do you know somebody who's convinced nothing in Washington ever actually changes? Send them this video right now. Worst case, you start a mildly heated family group chat. Best
Speaker A
case, they finally stop saying nothing ever happens anymore. Now, most politicians, they argue about tax rates.
Speaker A
Marco Rubio walked into the room and he started talking about the survival of Western civilization. Different weight class entirely. He talked about order, prosperity, freedom, creativity. You know, the stuff that actually holds a country together when nobody's looking.
Speaker A
That stuff. His argument boiled down for the back row, for those ain't paying attention in the back, right? This is not a normal left versus right squabble over budgets and bumper stickers. This is about whether the whole structure
Speaker A
holds up. This is an international conference. Because we are facing an international We We facing a transnational threat.
Speaker A
These are not distinct and isolated cells. They are interconnected networks. They do not recognize our borders. They do not believe in fact in the nation state itself.
Speaker A
They coordinate, they communicate, they travel, they train, and they act together sharing the same infrastructure, sharing the same enemies, sharing the same mission.
Speaker A
Antifa militants and their comrades travel from across Europe and to the Americas to participate in each others attacks, to funnel propaganda and training materials and target information through shared encrypted channels, moving through underground networks of safe houses and finance
Speaker A
and sustain their operations through transnational funds. And they work alongside hostile foreign states that share their mission like Iraq's Iranian proxy networks who are increasingly increasingly intimately tied to leftist militant groups around the world.
Speaker A
The Cuban regime's sprawling intelligence and ideological network helped to build the far left in our country and in our hemisphere.
Speaker A
And it remains inextricably linked to the far left groups and movements across and beyond the West.
Speaker A
Today's far left terrorists can raise money in one country. They can host their communications in a second country. They can receive training in a third country. They can recruit militants in a fourth country and then together strike a
Speaker A
target in a fifth country. And so we have no choice but to confront this menace together.
Speaker A
We will either cooperate across our borders or the terrorists will continue to exploit the gaps between them.
Speaker A
Under President Trump for the first time, the United States is building the infrastructure, the partnership, and the strategy to defeat the scourge of far left terror.
Speaker A
Now, that's pretty that's pretty heavy stuff if you ask me. But here's the sixth grade version, okay? Imagine your house, right? Okay, a little triangle in the box here, right? Other people, according to Rubio, they want to take a
Speaker A
sledgehammer to the foundation and call it progress. One of those is a Tuesday afternoon project. The other one is a 911 call. Now, Marco Rubio, he says that we've been treating a foundation problem like a paint code debate. That's the
Speaker A
shift. This is why this speech landed differently. So, here's Marco Rubio's argument, and honestly, it's a it's a little chilling when you hear it.
Speaker A
Communism, Marxism, anarchism, I mean, anti-capitalism, even anti-imperialism. Different bumper stickers, same engine underneath. Rubio's point is simple.
Speaker A
These movements, they love changing their name every few decades like a guy dodging his own reputation. New logo, new slogan, same basic playbook. Tear down what works, call it justice, repeat. And history's got recourse.
Speaker A
History's got receipts. In fact, remember J. Edgar Hoover? You guys remember Jay J. Edgar Hoover? Remember Joseph McCarthy? Both got painted as villains for pushing back against exactly this. It's funny how that works, right? Stand in the way of revolution,
Speaker A
and suddenly, you're the bad guy in the history books written by, well, the revolution. So, Marco Rubio's basically saying, "Look, do not fall for the rebrand. A wolf in a brand new hoodie, he's still a wolf. It just has better
Speaker A
marketing now. Probably a podcast and definitely a Patreon." So, now, here's where Stephen Miller really turned up the heat, and where things get genuinely serious, right? So, Miller's argument, political violence isn't just a few bad apples doing crimes in isolation. He's
Speaker A
calling it a coordinated national security threat, full stop. Now, this is a massive claim. I mean, let's be honest about this, guys. To be very clear, this is the administration's stated position, not an independently verified fact, but it's the position that's now driving
Speaker A
actual federal policy, which is which is exactly why this matters. And the leftist justifies this violence to himself by saying that they alone are the arbiters of what is right or wrong.
Speaker A
Not the law, not history, not civilization, not public opinion, certainly not God. The leftist assumes for himself judge, jury executioner.
Speaker A
But let's not pretend for a moment that these radical leftists, these terrorists are operating from a place of sincere political conviction. Sure, there are plenty of useful idiots that they use who may believe these discredited ideologies.
Speaker A
The leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy. The leftist looks at what is beautiful and what is good and what is natural and is filled with envy and hatred.
Speaker A
The leftist looks at the perfect family with the perfect life and a perfect job and perfect kids that goes to church every Sunday and is filled with a feeling of inadequacy and jealousy and they covet and they turn those emotions ultimately
Speaker A
into a desire to subjugate, to oppress, and to inflict pain and suffering. It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations, you see any photograph of those who are assembled to be blunt, not one of the people that
Speaker A
are demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism.
Speaker A
Why is that? Why you look at two photographs and you see an you know, a normal American street, you see an Antifa protest. Why did the people that are violently demonstrating, why is there not one normal looking person
Speaker A
among them? Every one of them through the course of their life and their decisions has scarred their body and their appearance in many different ways to the point in which their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred.
Speaker A
Trust your instincts. To all people and across all civilizations, you know what normal is. You know what beautiful is.
Speaker A
You know what good is. You know that families are right. You know that children are precious and beautiful and must be protected. You know that the criminal and the junkie and the predator is a threat to normal healthy living.
Speaker A
This is so much deeper than than issues about taxation and regulation, although they're incredibly important. It's about normal healthy ordered living.
Speaker A
So, Miller's framing ties political terrorism directly to threats against the constitutional government itself, meaning this isn't being treated as some local policing issue anymore. In fact, this is law enforcement and intelligence agencies working together, treating this like an actual security operation.
Speaker A
Washington, they don't they don't usually move this fast. This time, apparently, they did. So, here's the part that made a lot of people nod along uncomfortably. The conversation did stay locked on Washington. The conversation managed to drift straight into American
Speaker A
universities and the American media. Why? Because supporters argue that this is where the whole thing gets planted and watered and grown before it ever shows up in the evening news. Now, apparently, every political argument in this country now ends somewhere between
Speaker A
a college lecture hall and a phone screen. Then, this is where we live right now. Discourse used to happen at the dinner table, but now it happens in in a comment section at 2:00 a.m.
Speaker A
written by somebody whose profile picture is an egg. Yeah. So, supporters believe universities and media shape culture long before it shapes elections, meaning by By time you see the protest on the news, the actual planning happened months ago in a building with a
Speaker A
much nicer library. Institutions build culture, culture builds politics, and Rubio and Miller, they're just saying stop watching the fire, start watching the matches. All right, so breather topic, guys, because after all that heaviness, Marco Rubio, he pulled out
Speaker A
something that nobody expected. Beauty. Actual beauty, guys. Seriously, I mean, he started talking about beauty, excellence, prosperity, and creativity.
Speaker A
Kind of like kind of like he wandered out of a policy meeting and into an art history lecture. Different energy completely, and honestly, a nice change of pace, if you will. So, his argument, healthy societies build things.
Speaker A
Beautiful buildings, working systems, things people are proud of. Movements built on resentment, he says, they don't build. They just tear down what's already standing, and they call the rubble equality. Yeah, equality, guys.
Speaker A
Think about it like this. One neighbor spends the weekend fixing up his porch. The other neighbor spends the weekend keying his car and calling it activism.
Speaker A
Now, one of those guys is building something. The other guy, you know, the other one, he just needs a hobby.
Speaker A
Preferably one that doesn't involve your porch. So, now, here's the part that really surprised a lot of people. Marco Rubio brought God into it. That's right, guys. Not in a preachy way, in a let me tell you a story kind of way. So, he
Speaker A
referenced John Miller's Paradise Lost. This is a poem written roughly 500 years ago. Quick version for those in the back. Satan gets kicked out of heaven.
Speaker A
He's furious. He wants revenge on God. But, he knows that he's not strong enough to storm the gates directly. So, what's his big plan? Corrupt God's favorite creation instead, humanity.
Speaker A
Sneak in the side door since the front door's locked. So, Rubio's point, and it's a sharp one, is that revolutionary movements work the exact same way. Can't win the argument head on? Fine. Corrupt it from the inside out. Slowly,
Speaker A
patiently, one institution at a time. This is a 500-year-old poem that's describing a Tuesday in modern politics.
Speaker A
Milton was basically live tweeting the future and he didn't even know it. So here's the thing supporters keep on pointing out. Trump's second term does not look like a warm up act. In fact, term one had a learning curve. You know,
Speaker A
figuring out the building, figuring out the players. Term two, Trump, Rubio and Miller, they walked in like they'd already read the manual cover to cover and highlighted the important parts.
Speaker A
Version one eased into the pool, tested the water, took it slow. Version two didn't even bring a pool noodle. No floaties required. Version two cannonballed straight into the deep end full clothed and splashed absolutely everybody that was standing nearby.
Speaker A
Supporters see this as the difference between campaign promises and actual institution muscle. NSP 7 isn't a talking point on a rally stage. This is paperwork with real teeth, signed, distributed and already moving through federal agencies. So say say what you
Speaker A
want about the pace guys, nobody's calling this administration slow anymore. So here's a ripple effect nobody's talking about. This isn't a one day news cycle that fades by Friday.
Speaker A
Supporters believe this is a genuine realignment. Congress, the courts, the American media, all of it, forced to react to a move that they didn't see coming. Now think about it, right? So you got Rubio and Marco, they didn't
Speaker A
just like make a statement, they handed Washington a problem that it now has to respond to on the record forever. No quietly burying this one into a subcommittee that nobody attends. The media is scrambling. Some outlets are minimizing it and some are ignoring it
Speaker A
completely hoping it just goes away, kind of like a bad haircut. Well, I got a news for you, it won't go away.
Speaker A
Congress is going to have to take a position, actually vote, actually say something with their name attached to it. Revolutionary concept, I know, right? So whatever happens next, hearings, lawsuits, angry op-eds, articles, one thing is certain, Washington doesn't get to pretend that
Speaker A
this didn't happen. The receipts are permanent now. So let's go ahead and zoom out because here's a truth nobody's saying out loud. This was This was never just about one speech from Marco Rubio.
Speaker A
It's Trump, Miller, INSPM7, an administration that decided that talking points were not enough anymore.
Speaker A
They wanted paperwork with teeth, agencies working together, and actual consequences attached to actual actions.
Speaker A
Supporters see this as the opening chapter, not the finale. America First is not a slogan sitting on a hat anymore. It's showing up in federal directives with real enforcement behind them. So, here's a real question that you should be asking yourself on the way
Speaker A
out today. If this is only the beginning, well, what happens next? Because if Washington got this rattled over one memorandum, buckle up, guys.
Speaker A
This administration's not done writing. Now, we told you Rubio didn't just give a speech. Turns out, he fired a warning shot heard across every federal building in Washington. Now, before you go, guys, you know somebody who's been saying
Speaker A
nothing ever changes for years. Send them this video. Let them see it for themselves. And if you'd rather listen than watch, driving, working out, walking the dog, whatever's your thing, guys, find me on Spotify, search The Ron Yates Report, and hit follow. If today
