Welcome to Speak Freely, where we challenge the narrative, and get to the truth!
In this episode, Dave Smith highlights President Donald Trump's potential move to end the ongoing war in Ukraine, a decision that stands in stark contrast to the prevailing sentiments in Washington, D.C. In his podcast "Part of the Problem," Smith discusses how Trump's approach could disrupt the status quo, especially considering the financial interests many lawmakers have in defense spending.

Smith points out that President Trump has signaled a willingness to conclude the conflict in Ukraine, potentially by reducing or halting U.S. support. This strategy diverges from the traditional bipartisan support for sustained military aid, reflecting Trump's "America First" policy. Smith suggests that such a move could lead to significant shifts in U.S. foreign policy and defense allocations.

The defense industry wields considerable influence in Washington, with defense contractors spending approximately seventy million on lobbying in the first half of twenty twenty-three alone. This substantial investment aims to secure favorable legislation and maintain robust defense budgets. Consequently, many lawmakers benefit from the defense sector through political contributions and investments, creating a financial incentive to support ongoing military engagements.

Smith emphasizes that ending the war in Ukraine could face resistance from these lawmakers, as it threatens the financial interests tied to defense spending. He argues that President Trump's potential decision challenges the entrenched military-industrial complex and could redefine U.S. foreign policy priorities.

[WEEKEND RECAP 02-22-25] I asked the other day who is the leader of the Democrats. AOC remains a big figure, right? Show me where anybody gives a crap about her. The closest person to sanity for Democrats is Fetterman. President Trump ordered the immediate dismissal of the Board of Visitors for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard following years of woke ideologies infiltrating U.S. service academies. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth restored Fort Liberty, North Carolina, to “Fort Bragg,” in honor of a World War II hero. President Trump instructed EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to terminate Biden-era regulations restricting water flow and mandating inadequate lightbulb standards. President Trump proclaimed “Gulf of America Day” after the Department of the Interior officially changed the name on its mapping databases. Google Maps and Apple Maps both updated their apps to reflect the new name. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support .

[WEEKEND RECAP 02-22-25] Trump: The Mad Genius of Out-of-the-Box Thinking He wants to buy Greenland, turn Gaza into a resort, and torch the IRS. Love him or hate him, Trump’s wild ideas are rewriting the rules of politics—and driving the Left insane. Traits of out of the box thinkers https://hackspirit.com/traits-of-out-of-box-thinker/ They ask lots of questions. And they don’t blindly accept answers They blur the lines between work and play. They keep an open mind. They go against the current. They are idea-sensitive. Nothing gets past them. Their best thinking happens when they are alone. For me, it’s the shower They allow their minds to wander. They are energetic, passionate, and seek opportunities. They adapt They learn lessons from different places, and can connect different ideas and concepts The Mad Genius of Out-of-the-Box Thinking Let’s face it: love him or loathe him, Donald Trump is the human equivalent of a fireworks show—loud, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore. Whether he’s suggesting we buy Greenland, turn Gaza into a resort, or abolish the IRS, Trump’s ideas are anything but conventional. And while his critics clutch their pearls and hyperventilate into paper bags, the man keeps churning out ideas that are equal parts absurd, brilliant, and oddly executable.

[EP 25-076] James Woods tweeted: Two guys who have more money than they’ll ever need are working for NO SALARY 16 hours a day to make the lives of hard-working Americans better. And all the Democrats do is bitch and moan. Former FBI assistant director Frank Figliuzzi just claimed that "If you voted for [Trump], you really need to question whether you’re American anymore." This is a particularly chilling statement from a person appointed by Robert Mueller to head counterintelligence operations... I wish Elon Musk would use DOGE to find every anti-American and anti-Trump post on social media, so President Trump knows DIRECTLY who to fire. The Peter Principle, cooked up by Laurence J. Peter, is the brutal truth that in any hierarchy, people get promoted until they’re bad at their jobs. You start off great, climb the ladder, and then—oops—you land in a role where you’re completely out of your depth. Why? Because being good at one job doesn’t mean you’ll be good at the next one. It’s like promoting a star quarterback to coach, only to realize he can’t draw up a play to save his life. The idea was laid out in a 1969 book co-written by Peter and Raymond Hull. It was meant to be satire, but it hit a nerve because, let’s face it, we’ve all worked for someone who proved the point. Now, it’s a staple of management theory—and a perfect excuse for why your boss is the way they are. In short: promotions don’t stop until incompetence does. Funny? Yes. Painfully accurate? Absolutely. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support .

[EP 25-075] This is undoubtedly the most revealing time in American history as far as politics is concerned. The things we are learning would not have been possible without all the technological gains and in my opinion are ordained by God. A glimpse into the evil nature of man, when given uncontrolled power with no moral compass. We have witnessed evil at its most extraordinary level, where human life is completely and utterly dismissed. Leftist set up a self-funding mechanism to propagate evil and there was no end in sight. There is literally no agency in this government that the Left hasn’t prostituted. I don’t think there is a Leftist politician who isn’t getting some funding from taxpayers. Correction, illegal funding. And you wonder why these people are so dogmatic for Leftism. Because Leftism MAKES NO SENSE. To support it, you must get paid. As one person explained what’s happening with DOGE at the personal level, imagine your bank calls you and tells you there's fraud on your account. Then you tell them that you want the fraud to continue. There is not a single person that would do this... and yet THAT is the hill the Democrats are stuck defending...
