| Dr. Oz, who hangs out with Marina Abramovich and who has received $120,000 from the Israeli lobby, promotes implantable chips and transgenderism. | ||

|
Do you remember when your parents thought you were a boy? | |
| A little bit. | ||
| Talk to me about that a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like how did it make you feel when I used to take you and get your hair cut off at the barbershop on base? | |
| It made me very angry. | ||
| Mm-hm, you did not like your haircut. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Because I'm a girl not a boy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard, who was sold to us as an anti-war personality and who has received $40,000 from the Israeli lobby, is now saying we need to go to war against Islam. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Joe Biden just recently pausing weapon shipments to Israel. | |
| How do you see that? | ||
| I mean, there are folks that say he's on the side of Hamas at this point. | ||
| He is acting out of fear, which is why he has failed, like previous administrations before him, To wage this counter-ideological warfare against this Islamist ideology whose goal is to establish Islamic rule over the entire world. | ||
| Even with what's happening in our college campuses, even knowing that this is Hamas, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, this is their objective. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He refuses to call it out for what it is because he's afraid of being called an Islamophobe. | |
| And it's the same reason why he is not taking seriously the need to defeat Hamas. | ||
| Incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who has received $460,000 from the Israeli lobby, is warning that the International Criminal Court may become a threat to the U.S. Now you have the International Criminal Court of the ICC and its prosecutor pursuing warrants against Israeli officials. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is outrageous and it is unlawful. | |
| The ICC rogue actions are a threat to our ally Israel and left unchecked could pose a threat to America in the future. | ||
| So to our allies in Israel and to the Jewish people around the world, my message to you is this. | ||
| Reinforcements are on the way. | ||
| If you were wondering why the new Trump administration is looking more like Israel first than America first, according to Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has been advising him on how to staff the administration. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you're the co-chair of the Trump transition team, is that right? | |
| That's correct. | ||
| So in the first Trump administration, a lot of lobbyists got appointed to prominent cabinet positions. | ||
| Mark Esper, defense secretary, for example, was the top lobbyist. | ||
| Raytheon, lots of other examples. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that a... | |
| Philosophy that you would want to see perpetuated in a second Trump administration? | ||
| Would it differ? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What's the status of that? | |
| No lobbyists are part of the transition. | ||
| So I don't think so at all. | ||
| I think we have the greatest group of potential people who want to serve that you've ever seen. | ||
| We have the leaders of America. | ||
| So no lobbyists in a second Trump administration? | ||
| I would not expect people who are lobbyists to be a material part. | ||
| You can't say none. | ||
| It's 4,000 people joining, so that's a silly thing. | ||
| Senior-level cabinet positions, let's say. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think so. | |
| Is Jared Kushner coming back? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't comment on people. | |
| I told you that's not it, but Jared Kushner is a big help to me. | ||
| He's actively helping you on this project? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's absolutely actively helping me because everybody's helping me. | |
| JD Vance is helping me. | ||
| Everybody's helping find the most talented people they have. | ||
| Jared Kushner is a longtime family friend of Benjamin Netanyahu. | ||
| The Kushner family, like the Trump family, are in the real estate business. | ||
| And the Kushners Have been doing business in Israel for years. | ||
| Earlier this year, Jared spoke of Gaza's valuable waterfront property. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There are real fears on the part of Arabs, and I'm sure you talk to a lot of them, who think once Gazans leave Gaza, Netanyahu's never going to let them back in. | |
| Um, maybe, but I'm not sure there's much left of Gaza at this point. | ||
| So, you know, if you think about even the construct like, you know, Gaza, Gaza was not really a historical precedent, right? | ||
| It was the result of a war. | ||
| You know, borders are changed historically over time. | ||
| And so my sense is, is I would say, how do we deal with the terror threat that is there so that it cannot be a threat to Israel or to Egypt, right? | ||
| I think that both sides are spending a fortune on military. | ||
| I think neither side really wants to have, you know, a terrorist organization enclave right between them in Gaza's waterfront property. | ||
| It's Friday, November 22nd in the year of our Lord 2024. And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
| I think it's time to blow this thing. | ||
| Get everybody in the stuff together. | ||
| Okay, three, two, one. | ||
| Let's jam. | ||
| Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Welcome to the American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you live from Austin, Texas, this Friday morning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've got a lot of stuff to talk about, a lot of stuff to cover. | |
| World War III heating up in a very, very real way. | ||
| A lot of stuff broke as soon as my show ended yesterday. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| The speed of the news cycle spins these days. | ||
| It's practically old news at this point, but we'll get into Matt Gaetz dropping out. | ||
| That happened like five minutes after my show ended. | ||
| Or Vladimir Putin releasing a statement saying that the UK and the US are legitimate targets for nuclear missiles. | ||
| That happened about 30 minutes after my show yesterday. | ||
| So a lot of stuff broke around 11.05am yesterday that we're going to get into today and talk about. | ||
| And yeah, it's mostly those two stories. | ||
| It's mostly the wholesale capture of our federal government. | ||
| Who block out anybody that doesn't prioritize them first and foremost. | ||
| And the Ukraine war leading us towards World War III. And the way these two stories are in fact one story. | ||
| They are in fact the same thing. | ||
| And the reason that we're going to war in Ukraine against Russia is because of the control that the warmongers have over our government. | ||
| So it's really all one big conspiracy if you want to know the truth. | ||
| Lots of videos. | ||
| We'll be joined by Brandon Weikert and David Pine today, both experts in geopolitics. | ||
| David Pine, an expert in nuclear weapons in particular. | ||
| So we'll be very interested to talk to him about what potentially comes next. | ||
| I've been doing my own war gaming a little bit. | ||
| And I have some conclusions I've come to. | ||
| About Russia. | ||
| We'll get to it in just a second. | ||
| But the fact is, in Europe, there's not a heck of a lot of nuclear weapons. | ||
| And I have the feeling that if they wanted, Russia could probably obliterate NATO's nuclear supply in an afternoon. | ||
| Which would be an interesting development. | ||
| But we'll get into some of that. | ||
| And how it actually... | ||
| Seems to be moving us towards fulfillment of a prophecy that we talk about on this show quite a bit. | ||
| A prophecy that Russia will one day nuke Turkey, and that will be the beginning and the end of World War III. And where do you think America's nuclear weapons are stored in Europe? | ||
| They're all in Turkey. | ||
| It's all very interesting. | ||
| So stay tuned for that. | ||
| But we'll start today as we do every day with our Daily Dispatch. | ||
| All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Friday, the 22nd of November 2024. | ||
| Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from AG consideration after Trump told him he didn't have the votes. | ||
| At least that's the rumor from Mediate. | ||
| Matt Gaetz reportedly withdrew from AG consideration after Trump told him he didn't have the votes. | ||
| Gates issued a statement on Thursday saying he would be withdrawing because it's quote, Threesome involving a 17-year-old girl in a few hours after that report, CNN said Trump phoned Gates on Thursday morning and told him his nomination is dead on arrival. | ||
| Now we have a lot more information about this that we'll get to in just a little bit, including who voted against him. | ||
| It's all of the typical rhino Republicans who are still, despite the very loud signal sent to them by the American populace, still clinging desperately and aggressively using the institutional power that they have glommed onto. | ||
| Again, we'll talk about his replacement, Matt Gaetz's replacement, Pam Bondi, and some of the rumors swirling about what brought about this sudden, unexpected, and frankly disappointing change. | ||
| Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court has not just convicted Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant of genocide and crimes against humanity. | ||
| They have now issued arrest warrants. | ||
| Netanyahu, International Criminal Court, issues arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister. | ||
| There are now something like 124 countries in the world that will arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot on their soil, including, I believe, Canada. | ||
| So very interesting development there. | ||
| We'll get back to that and talk a little bit more about the reaction from America as... | ||
| Tom Cotton has come out saying we should now invade the Hague. | ||
| We should now go to war in Europe, a ground invasion to Europe, to stop Benjamin Netanyahu from being arrested for committing genocide. | ||
| Completely insane. | ||
| There's another story that's been going on all week. | ||
| We've touched on it a little bit, but we're going to spend some time on it today. | ||
| It's the trial of Daniel Penny. | ||
| Daniel Penny's defense called a forensic pathologist to testify the chokehold did not cause the death. | ||
| And there's actually a lot of evidence that the chokehold did not cause the death. | ||
| He's also... | ||
| The interrogation video of Daniel Penny has been released, and we'll go over that a little bit. | ||
| But it is a... | ||
| It's a very illustrative story of what's actually happening in this country. | ||
| As the system brutalizes an individual who did literally nothing wrong, was acting as a hero, stepped in to put his own life on the line to protect others, and then gave a statement to the police thinking that he didn't know the guy was dead. | ||
| And he's thinking that he's just giving a statement to the police about this crazy criminal that he helped stop. | ||
| Literally thinking he's gonna be like celebrated for it because he actually stepped in and did the job of the police because the police weren't there. | ||
| The whole time the police are interrogating him knowing that they're actually going to charge him with manslaughter and put him on trial for his life. | ||
| And then the people that actually helped him to subdue Daniel Penny or helped him to subdue Jordan Neely, the guy, they got plea deals and then testified against Daniel Penny. | ||
| Despite the fact they were both involved. | ||
| Daniel Penny's facing manslaughter. | ||
| The other people are walking free. | ||
| At the same time, you have illegal immigrants who have been arrested six times in the last three months. | ||
| Out on the streets, stabbing and raping people in New York City. | ||
| It's very illustrative, a very appropriate story for our modern insanity. | ||
| Meanwhile, the United States is pushing the world into global conflict. | ||
| There will always be a response. | ||
| That's the quote from Russian President Vladimir Putin as he released a statement following the launch of hypersonic missiles into Ukraine. | ||
| So there's been a few exchanges of these advanced missiles and things are heating up. | ||
| And Putin has come out with a statement saying that it's the manufacturers and suppliers of these missiles which are legitimate threats for nuclear attack, meaning the UK and the US. | ||
| We'll show you that statement in just a minute at the end of this Daily Dispatch. | ||
| Finally, in response to this, the Defense Department in America has adjusted their nuclear deterrence strategy as nuclear peer adversaries escalate. | ||
| So, yes, escalation on all sides. | ||
| No one even remotely trying for peace. | ||
| We're just closer now than we ever have been to nuclear exchange. | ||
| Closer now, maybe even than the Bay of Pigs crisis, because at least at that point, it seemed as though both countries had governments that were genuinely concerned about the possibility of nuclear exchange. | ||
| At this point, It's not even the top story. | ||
| It's not even the third top story. | ||
| It's like the people in charge don't even care that Russia is pointing a gun at our head and starting to squeeze the trigger. | ||
| So I think we're closer than ever before. | ||
| I think the clock is closer to midnight than we've ever experienced. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That's your Daily Dispatch for this morning. | ||
| And like I said, I think we'll start with the statement from Vladimir Putin. | ||
| And it is... | ||
| It is shocking that this is not the top story everywhere. | ||
| It's unbelievable that this is not the top story. | ||
| The president of Russia, who we are now, for all intents and purposes, in active war against. | ||
| I mean, you've got Ukrainian generals saying World War III has begun. | ||
| You've got Putin and Russia saying officially, we are in a state of war with the United States. | ||
| And Vladimir Putin is putting out this statement where he... | ||
| Directly threatens the UK and the US with nuclear bombs. | ||
| Yeah, and the UK is responding like as if they have a chance. | ||
| So let's go to this video from Vladimir Putin. | ||
| And I want to remind you, Russia has the largest nuclear stockpile in the world and has proven as of yesterday that That they are capable of delivering hypersonic warheads into at least Ukraine and getting around any air defenses that would prevent the delivery of a nuclear weapon system. | ||
| So he's not bluffing is what I'm saying. | ||
| He's not bluffing. | ||
| Like I said yesterday, it's like... | ||
| The United States is playing poker against Russia. | ||
| They have a full house. | ||
| They're going to win the hand, but we keep trying to call their bluff. | ||
| It is an insane strategy, which tends to a suicidal intent. | ||
| Let's go now to this clip. | ||
| This is Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, issuing a very direct and clear warning to us. | ||
| Are we going to listen? | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
| ...missiles manufactured in the U.S., And on the 21st, a combined attack using Storm Shadow manufactured in the UK and missiles manufactured in the US were used to attack missile targets in the Bryansk and Kursk regions of the Russian Federation. | ||
| Starting from that point, as we have underscored many times, the regional conflict in Ukraine, provoked by the West, acquired a global character. | ||
| Our anti-missile systems countered those attacks. | ||
| As a result, the targets and objectives set by the enemy were not achieved. | ||
| The fire and the ammunition storage in the Bransk region, as a result of fragments of attack on missiles falling, has been contained. | ||
| No victims. | ||
| In the Kursk region, one of the command and control centers of our separate group was attacked. | ||
| As a result of the attack and the countermeasures, there have been people wounded and killed. | ||
| Those who were involved in servicing these facilities, but those who were members of the command have not been hit by the attack and are now continuing their operation to remove the enemy from the Kursk region. | ||
| I repeat, the use of such weapons cannot change the course of the special military operation. | ||
| Our military is successfully advancing along the entire line of contact and all the objectives that we set before ourselves will be met. | ||
| As a response to the use of US and UK manufactured weapons, the Russian forces, We have carried out a combined strike on one of the military-industrial facilities in Ukraine, and this included the test of a novel intermediate-range Russian missile system. | ||
| A ballistic missile with a non-nuclear hypersonic payload was used. | ||
| The test was carried out successfully. | ||
| The objectives of the launch have been met. | ||
| One of the largest and well-known industrial centers that is known since the Soviet times In the Dnieper region, which is known to be involved in enemy production, was hit. | ||
| And further plans are being made in Europe and the Asia-Pacific to deploy weapons and missiles. | ||
| And we believe it is a mistake on the part of the United States to destroy the system that was established by the And missile treaty in 2019. We see that the United States and their allies are now considering and has successfully attested their capabilities to deploy advanced missile systems in different | ||
| parts of the world and their exercises routinely include the use of such weapons. | ||
| Russia has unilaterally I refuse to deploy intermediate and small range of missiles until we see similar weapons deployed by the United States in a region of the world. | ||
| The use of the novel system, which was essentially an operational test, was carried out in response to the decisions made by the United States and their allies. | ||
| And the further actions will be considered and decided based on what we see from them. | ||
| The further course of action will be determined based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation. | ||
| We believe that we have the right to use our weapons against military facilities of countries who allow Their weapons to be used against ours. | ||
| And in case of an escalation, we will act as decisively in a mirror fashion. | ||
| The ruling elites of the countries nurturing plans to use their military contingents against Russia should be warned. | ||
| When choosing Arab measures to be used in response, Such as the use of systems that was tested recently in Ukraine will certainly include warnings to civilians and to clear the zones that will be targeted and we will certainly do this and In a transparent fashion. | ||
| And we do not have any fears that it will reduce the effectiveness of those systems, because there is no way to counteract a missile that flies at 10 Mach, which is 2.5 to 3 omtons per second. | ||
| Existing anti-missile systems, And the anti-missile systems deployed by the United States and Europe cannot intercept such missiles. | ||
| It is impossible. | ||
| So, once again, it is not Russia but the United States who have destroyed the system of international security. | ||
| And they are trying to preserve their hegemony and stoking a global conflict. | ||
| We have always preferred, and we still prefer, to resolve Our disagreements are using peaceful means, but we are prepared for any scenario. | ||
| And if anyone has any doubts, they shouldn't. | ||
| There will always be a response. | ||
| Putin says Ukraine war is going global. | ||
| Well, he said in particular they reserve the right to attack the countries whose weapons are being used to attack Russia. | ||
| Which would be the UK and America. | ||
| Of course, they've made direct threats against various cities in the UK and others elsewhere in Europe, Birmingham, Manchester, London, Berlin, and Paris. | ||
| Gateway Pundit has the story. | ||
| The US is pushing the whole world into global conflict. | ||
| There will always be a response. | ||
| And notice he referred to the exchange of hypersonic or advanced missile systems yesterday, both as tests. | ||
| Now, they weren't tests, obviously. | ||
| They were... | ||
| This wasn't in a field somewhere in Siberia. | ||
| They were dropping these bombs. | ||
| They dropped them on industrial zones in Ukraine. | ||
| And Ukraine dropped bombs in industrial zones in Russia. | ||
| But these were tests, like I just explained before I went to that video, to determine whether they could deliver nukes, because they can. | ||
| So that's the way Putin is seeing this. | ||
| When Ukraine launches American-made missiles that are capable of carrying warheads, To Putin, okay, they're testing. | ||
| They're testing to see if they can deliver a nuke. | ||
| And so they send a missile to test to see if they can deliver nukes. | ||
| Now we both know both sides can deliver nukes, and the air defenses are incapable of preventing that. | ||
| So just like the run-up to the invasion of Ukraine, Russia is giving us off-ramp after off-ramp after off-ramp. | ||
| A settled and negotiated peace is easily and imminently doable. | ||
| But they don't want to, do they? | ||
| Not the people that run our country. | ||
| That much is clear. | ||
| And in fact, in response to Putin issuing that statement and updating their nuclear doctrine, the DOD, Department of Defense here in America, has adjusted their nuclear deterrence strategy. | ||
| From Defense.gov, DOD adjusts nuclear deterrence strategy as nuclear peer adversaries escalate. | ||
| Multiple nuclear peer adversaries challenging the U.S. and its allies in partner security, according to the Defense Department. | ||
| Quote, we are now in a world where we're facing multiple nuclear competitors, multiple states that are growing, diversifying, and modernizing their nuclear arsenals, and also, unfortunately, prioritizing the role that nuclear weapons play in their national security strategy, said Richard C. Johnson. | ||
| Yes, we're in a world where, you know, we're increasingly under threat of being attacked by a bear, he says, while he's poking the bear in the eye with a stick. | ||
| This is the frustrating thing about it. | ||
| It'll be a reoccurring instance in all the stories that we cover today. | ||
| The very simple, very obvious elementary concept of problem, reaction, solution. | ||
| That the same people creating the problems are the ones suggesting the solution. | ||
| The solution always to deprive you of liberty and potentially life. | ||
| Since the solution to this conflict that they've fabricated from nothing, that they've instigated and perpetuated and escalated at every possible turn, is nuclear exchange. | ||
| So... | ||
| So it's getting bad, and I don't get how suicidal the Western countries are, but that is the only word for it. | ||
| Clip 17 here is an army chief in the UK, and the UK government seems genuinely excited about the prospect of sending their young men to die in Eastern Europe. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If he was asked to fight tonight, he would fight tonight. | |
| And I don't think anybody in this room should be under any illusion that if the Russians invaded Eastern Europe tonight, then we would meet them in that fight. | ||
| That would be the first point I'd make. | ||
| Thank you, General. | ||
| I'm absolutely certain that if the Russians invaded Eastern Europe, the British Army would be there. | ||
| I'm a reserve officer, so I would probably be there with them. | ||
| They're excited. | ||
| They're eager. | ||
| We would be there to fight. | ||
| Would you or would your city be dust because it's the number one target for the nuclear hypersonic missile that you have no possibility of stopping? | ||
| It's literally suicidal. | ||
| I don't understand it. | ||
| It's also, in a weird way, kind of a good thing, I think, because the British people, young men that they expect to fight the war, the vast majority of them, Understand at this point finally have come to the realization that their own governments thoroughly despise them and are doing everything they can to destroy them. | ||
| There's a video that went viral a couple days ago. | ||
| Probably a 12, 13-year-old kid from the UK. He's staying there with a bright orange vest on because he's like working somewhere outside and he's like drinking tea and it's just him filming himself. | ||
| And the subtitle is just, you know, working in the freezing cold so OffMed can get a five-star hotel and do nothing all day. | ||
| Okay, the young men in Europe, they get it. | ||
| They get what the game is now. | ||
| They get that their job is to... | ||
| Work endlessly, maybe never retire, pay constantly into this system that deprives them of everything and gives everything that they build to foreigners and strangers. | ||
| They understand now there's no exchange of loyalty, there's no compact between the people and the government, which is why now they're making ads that actually feature white guys, only they're soldiers trying to pump them up for the war that they know they're starting, and really, really, really need young men to Young white men in particular to fight in. | ||
| I don't think it's going to happen in the same way that kind of in the back of my mind, in the deep corners of my heart, I kind of hope they try to like start a war and do the draft in America because same in UK. It's going to force people to choose who they want to fight. | ||
| Do they want to go to Eastern Europe? | ||
| Die fighting Putin for some completely indeterminate, inexplicable reason? | ||
| Or are they going to fight the government that is actively destroying everything they love? | ||
| Pretty simple question. | ||
| Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Friday edition of American Journal. | ||
| I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
| We're going to talk about Daniel Penny. | ||
| In just a minute, we're going to talk about The ICC's ruling, convicting and now issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu for genocide, crimes against humanity. | ||
| He now faces arrest if he goes to any of something like 124 countries. | ||
| Not America, obviously. | ||
| No, we actually have congressmen legitimately suggesting that we invade The Hague for them daring to house the court. | ||
| That convicted our greatest ally of the thing they're doing. | ||
| Of the thing they're doing and bragging about constantly for a year. | ||
| We'll get into that in just a little bit. | ||
| I thought we'd take a little moment today. | ||
| Because there are two pieces of media that I found this week. | ||
| Which do, to me, an incredibly good job. | ||
| Of promoting the most important thing in the world, which is having a family. | ||
| We're doing a little Fatherhood Friday break right now from the horrifying news. | ||
| Because I really... | ||
| I don't know, these two videos have just stuck in my head. | ||
| One is Matthew McConaughey, of all people, talking about how fatherhood is immortality. | ||
| Absolutely incredible. | ||
| The other is a Volvo commercial. | ||
| Which is like just... | ||
| Wildly powerful. | ||
| Maybe if we can drag in the Porsche commercial or the Jaguar commercial. | ||
| There have been like three car commercials that have gone viral over this week. | ||
| Two of them have been very deliberately designed to be like demoralizing, weird, transgressive, freak show type stuff. | ||
| And then you've got Volvo making... | ||
| It's not even an ad. | ||
| It's just like a powerful short film with shots of Volvos every once in a while. | ||
| It's really amazing. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| It really is great. | ||
| I'm not being paid to advertise Volvo by any means, but I will support corporations actually promoting good morals for once. | ||
| It's so rare. | ||
| This is the Jaguar commercial. | ||
| Create exuberant. | ||
| Yes, don't you want to be a freaky alien creature? | ||
| Delete ordinary. | ||
| Things that are ordinary and normal are bad. | ||
| Break molds. | ||
| Don't you want to be a freaky weirdo like everyone else? | ||
| Wow, it's so unexpected and interesting. | ||
| I bet all of these people would be interesting in conversation. | ||
| There's not even a car in the commercial. | ||
| It is literally the Stone Toss comic. | ||
| Of just an ad agency presenting an ad that's just two men kissing? | ||
| Glenn's guy's like, how is this going to sell more burgers? | ||
| And the guy's like, burgers? | ||
| What? | ||
| Is that what you think we're doing here? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| We're subverting the culture here. | ||
| We're not trying to sell cars. | ||
| We're not trying to actually sell Jaguars. | ||
| We're just trying to assault the eyes of our potential customers in order to unmoor their soul for greater manipulability. | ||
| Let's go first, clip number nine here. | ||
| This is Matthew McConaughey with an incredibly powerful statement about what it means to be a father. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How has being a father changed your life? | |
| It's the only thing I ever knew I wanted to do. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| My dad was a big sirs and ma'ams, and please and thank you, man, especially on the sirs and ma'ams. | ||
| And I remember him introducing me to these two guys that I later found out were his hitmen. | ||
| And I remember we were in Oak Forest Country Club parking lot. | ||
| Dad had lunch in the 19th hole there. | ||
| And they had black suits on and shades. | ||
| And the sun was in my eyes. | ||
| I looked up. | ||
| I shook their hand. | ||
| Nice to meet you, sir. | ||
| Nice to meet you, sir. | ||
| And something happened in that moment. | ||
| Maybe it was the fact that they also look like, you know, men in black guys, but also something came up in that conversation that they had kids. | ||
| And it hit me. | ||
| That every male that my dad had introduced me to and made me say that I said sir to, they were fathers. | ||
| And in that moment, I was like, oh, that's how you make it in life. | ||
| That's what success is. | ||
| And maybe again, it was men in the suits with the shades, but I was like, wow. | ||
| Oh, that's it. | ||
| And That was always clear to me. | ||
| I wanted to be a father. | ||
| It's the living form of immortality. | ||
| Become a father, you're immortal. | ||
| Become a parent, you are immortal. | ||
| There's so many lessons that I realize that I'm not going to figure out in this life, but they may come to fruition by my eldest son's great-great-grandchildren. | ||
| And I will be an author of that. | ||
| That sense of... | ||
| Immortality and fatherhood is something that I'm really honored with. | ||
| Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. | ||
| I thought that was pretty good. | ||
| But really not even nearly as impactful in a weird way because this ad from Volvo is kind of like downbeat. | ||
| It's not like... | ||
| What you typically expect when you're talking about, you know, promoting having kids. | ||
| It's all like loud and joyful and just like noisy. | ||
| But this is like, it's almost like a somber tone that almost makes it more powerful. | ||
| And again, the point of me showing this is not to advertise Volvo by any means, although it is a very convincing ad. | ||
| It's sort of just to display like what That is like completely possible that our commercials not be filled with complete freak show psychopaths all the time. | ||
| When I go on YouTube, I get ads. | ||
| It's shifted up a little bit now, but like when the run-up to the election, literally the only ads I would see would be Kamala Harris begging for money, Obama begging for money on behalf of Kamala Harris, Or an obese trans black woman advertising HIV medicine. | ||
| And it's just like Blech. | ||
| Blech. | ||
|

|
Blech. | |
| It's just gross. | ||
| And I just... | ||
| Every once in a while. | ||
| And it's so rare. | ||
| And this is why it's like worth pointing out. | ||
| It's like so unbelievably, vanishingly rare that you actually see a commercial that is like, oh, it's promoting healthy things. | ||
| What a shock. | ||
| What a strange, obscure thing to happen. | ||
| I can't believe it. | ||
| Almost literally unbelievable that something like this would have been made. | ||
| So... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's like this is just what we want to get back to. | ||
| It's like the classic meme where they show the scenes from They Live. | ||
| And it's like when you realize that the bad guys from They Live were actually less evil than the current elites because in They Live, when you put on the glasses, it says things like... | ||
| You know, make a family, have kids, reproduce, obey. | ||
| Okay, our system is so evil, they aren't even telling us to reproduce. | ||
| It used to be in the past, this idea of like, oh, the culture's keeping us down because they just want us to make babies so they can make money off them, but it's like... | ||
| No, the real evil is convincing people when they're still like tiny children to undergo medical procedures to guarantee that they'll never have children again. | ||
| It's so sick and wrong. | ||
| And so when something actually bucks that trend and promotes morals and decency for once, I think it's worth to highlight. | ||
| Let's go to clip number 15 now. | ||

|
Hey. | |
| Hey. | ||
| You okay? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well... | ||
| Hey, love. | ||
| Hey, Mum. | ||
| How are you guys? | ||
| How are you doing? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, we're good. | ||
| Something wrong? | ||
| No. | ||
| No, no, no, but we've, uh... | ||
| We've actually got something to tell you. | ||
| Kate's pregnant. | ||
| Oh, I... He's joking. | ||
| You're gonna be a grandma. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| I'm scared, Mum. | ||
| Why are you scared? | ||
| About it all, you know? | ||
| The night's responsibility. | ||
| We're gonna need a bigger place. | ||
| I've got this feeling that we're going to have a daughter just as stubborn as her mum. | ||
| Hopefully not, the family's love. | ||
| That's a legacy she might have to live with. | ||
| She might be the reason we're tired of not. | ||
| What if I don't do good in class? | ||
| I just want to say and do the right things, you know? | ||
| I want to see the world with her. | ||
| Also be happy staying home, doing nothing, letting her be a kid. | ||
| Are you awake? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I want to see her fall in love. | ||
| But I also know what that means. | ||
| And I know she's gonna bend the rules just like I did. | ||
| And one day, I'll have to let her go. | ||
| I'm excited to hear what she learns about the world herself. | ||
| What she adores. | ||
| What she hates. | ||
| I hope she likes the name and give her. | ||
| Have you thought of that? | ||
| It all depends. | ||
| Oh, no! | ||
| We like... | ||
| - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. | ||
| - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. - No. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| So again, just incredibly powerful. | ||
| And I think when you get to the bottom of what we are doing here and what's gone wrong in America, it really is just this lack of purpose. | ||
| And there's a very good reason why people that want you enslaved don't want you having kids. | ||
| For one thing, it makes time suddenly very, very important. | ||
| You can go, you know, without kids, you can go like three years. | ||
| You look around and you're like, oh, nothing's really changed. | ||
| It's kind of the same as it was three years ago. | ||
| Maybe you got a new car or something. | ||
| But then with kids, it's like a month goes by. | ||
| And you're looking at pictures from the month before and you're like getting nostalgic over it. | ||
| And you're like, oh, those days. | ||
| Remember when she could barely walk? | ||
| It's... | ||
| Really at the heart of all of this, what is the purpose of doing any of this stuff? | ||
| And why should anybody participate if you live in a country where it seems like the entire system is designed to deprive you of the most basic human survival mechanisms? | ||
| It's like having kids. | ||
| I don't even know how to express it, but I do understand its ultimate importance. | ||
|

|
We'll move on. | |
| But we'll move on to the actual news here. | ||
| I just thought maybe on a Friday morning, it might be good just to remind people of, you know, what the purpose to life is and what we're at war for and what we're at war against, the inversion of that. | ||
| Now, we're going to talk about Matt Gaetz and what happened yesterday. | ||
| There's a lot of speculation swirling. | ||
| It seems like a lot of people who are very intimately intertwined with the Republican Party themselves were baffled by this. | ||
| I'll tell you what I've heard is that some people were thinking some sort of 4-D chess. | ||
| Put Matt Gaetz out. | ||
| Kind of like what Barack Obama tried to do with Merrick Garland in the Supreme Court. | ||
| Where he put forward Merrick Garland as seemingly what he was thought to be then. | ||
| Now we know he's just like a total leftist radical, just complete arsonist of justice. | ||
| But at the time, he was considered kind of like a middle-of-the-road person. | ||
| So you put him forward, and then when they reject that, you put forward someone even more radical. | ||
| And you go, well, you should have taken that first choice. | ||
| It's just like a negotiation tactic. | ||
| People suggesting that was the case with Matt Gaetz. | ||
| From what I know, it was never an intention to have Matt Gaetz not be confirmed. | ||
| I think everybody on Trump's team tried very hard to get Matt Gaetz confirmed. | ||
| There are a few votes short. | ||
| Now whether the votes being short is what caused him to withdraw is up for debate. | ||
| With basically the main agreement between people in the know It's simply that something happened. | ||
| Something must have happened. | ||
| Something either dropped in the meeting with the Senate that he had, or they told him they had something, or maybe there's something in the report. | ||
| They just thought it'd be better not to have that be a weight around Trump's neck during the administration. | ||
| There's a lot of speculation, not a lot of information. | ||
| I know people are our source. | ||
| You know, scrambling, trying to figure out what was actually behind this. | ||
| I think I might have an idea, a general idea, that we'll get to in just a second. | ||
| Let me just tell you first what we know about the vote count. | ||
| And as you know, the story from the Daily Dispatch was Gates withdrew from AG consideration after Trump told him he didn't have the votes. | ||
| It was from Mediaite. | ||
| CNN reported that before he withdrew, they contacted, yeah, they're going around about this sex trafficking allegation, and we'll get to what's really behind that in just a second. | ||
| But apparently Donald Trump called Matt Gaetz in the morning and told him he did not believe he had the votes in the Senate to get confirmed. | ||
| Now, the source did insist Trump did not pressure Gaetz to drop out, but instead he let Gaetz to come to that conclusion on his own. | ||
| And it was after a meeting with the Senate that Gaetz made the announcement. | ||
| From Jonathan Swan. | ||
| Matt Gaetz told people close to him that he concluded, after conversations with senators and their staff, that there were at least four Republican senators who were implacably opposed to his nomination. | ||
| Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and John Curtis of Utah. | ||
| Worse than the Democrats, folks. | ||
| Literally worse than the Democrats. | ||
| I don't know what we need to do to get these people out of office. | ||
| But they're worse than the Democrats. | ||
| They really are. | ||
| These are the people that we have a fully outfitted, geared up, ready to go, like a destroyer, right? | ||
| A battleship. | ||
| And the enemy has a battleship too. | ||
| And we got to go contend with them. | ||
| We got to go confront them. | ||
| But which is more dangerous, the other ship with the other sailors trying to battle you, or the person in your ship taking a pickaxe to the hull, opening up the hatches in storm conditions, sinking you from the inside? | ||
| Now, if this was a battleship, the solution would be simple. | ||
| You would tie their hands and feet together and throw them overboard. | ||
| Or you'd haul them across the keel over and over until they die. | ||
| But we're not at sea. | ||
| I guess we're in politics. | ||
| So there's got to be some other function. | ||
| There's got to be something else we can do here. | ||
| I'm open to suggestions. | ||
| I thought we'd gotten over this. | ||
| I really thought at least the Republicans, for their own sake, for their own position, so they could continue operating with what power they have, I would have thought that they would have realized now that this is career suicide. | ||
| But maybe they don't care. | ||
| I mean, Mitch McConnell's stepping down, so just one last F you to the people he's supposed to represent before he disintegrates back into being a historical footnote. | ||
| I see a lot of people on X saying things like, you know, I've made it through all of this without sort of losing my head. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| But what happened with Matt Gaetz has radicalized me. | ||
| Has completely radicalized me. | ||
| It's kind of like the final straw for some people. | ||
| conservatives and Republicans can take so much abuse, take so much hate, suffer so much from the official oppression from the Biden government. | ||
| It can do so much to get people in power against all odds, only to have those very people turn around and stab you in the back. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Mike Lawler. | ||
| Tim Pool posted this. | ||
| Mike Lawler has humbly requested we primary him. | ||
| And he posted a picture of... | ||
| What's this guy's name again? | ||
| Kevin? | ||
| This guy's name was Kevin, right? | ||
| Kevin McCarthy, that's right. | ||
| Yeah, Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, him. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Yeah, no, I remember him. | ||
| This is how unimportant these people are, right? | ||
| Literally nobody will know Kevin McCarthy's name in three years. | ||
| But Matt Gaetz led the movement along with Marjorie Taylor Greene to oust Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| And apparently, now justice has been served. | ||
| According to Mike Waller, he posted a picture of Kevin McCarthy with the laser eyes holding the gavel saying justice has been served. | ||
| So Matt Gaetz ousts Kevin McCarthy from the speakership because he was pointless and terrible. | ||
| Not that Mike Johnson's any better, but... | ||
| Mike Lawler apparently holds this grudge and is now taking it out on Matt Gaetz. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| I know the Democrats are children. | ||
| Are the Republicans children too? | ||
| There's just something unspeakably petulant about this. | ||
| Where it's like you're talking about the fate of our nation. | ||
| You're talking about the most powerful country in the history of the world being in an incredibly perilous situation, more than we have ever been in our entire history, including the Bay of Pigs, including World War II, including World War I, I mean, including the Civil War. | ||
| We are at greater peril now than ever before. | ||
| And the people that we have entrusted to guide the ship through these incredibly dangerous waters are like getting their rocks off, just getting revenge on Matt Gaetz because they don't like that he ousted his friend Kevin. | ||
| Yeah, you want to talk about being radicalized. | ||
| It's like, I almost think they're doing it on purpose. | ||
| I almost think to a certain point, These fake rhino Republicans just genuinely hate their own constituents and actually are just provoking them, trying to radicalize them so they can just crack down on them as domestic terrorists or something. | ||
| I can't understand it any other way. | ||
| I cannot understand how the Republican Party Wins, not just an absolutely unprecedented, totally unexpected, like just massively successful presidential, senatorial, and congressional campaign. | ||
| Like just full spectrum win. | ||
| And they just immediately get to sabotaging and backstabbing. | ||
| Immediately. | ||
| So I don't know what we have to do about this. | ||
| But the saboteurs are inside the ranks. | ||
| They're on board the ship, destroying things from the inside and then bragging about it and treating it like a victory, getting revenge for Kevin McCarthy against Matt Gaetz. | ||
| And in doing so, Making our job of actually rescuing this country from the multifaceted attack on our culture, our people, immigration, the world war, all of that now made significantly harder and will continue to be made impossible as long as these people have any power in our system. | ||
| Is this just a long game to prove how ineffective and pointless the sin it is? | ||
| So we're just happy to get rid of it and just have an emperor once and for all? | ||
| Because we got to do something. | ||
|

|
Welcome back, folks. | |
| It's very disappointing what's happened with Matt Gaetz dropping out. | ||
| As Seth Keschel says on X, the same loser GOP senators that confirmed Merrick Garland, Lloyd Austin, Rachel Levine, and Kentonji Jackson want you to know that Trump's cabinet picks are unacceptable. | ||
| I can't do it. | ||
| Yeah, they practically unanimously approved Merrick Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas who have since irreparably damaged our country. | ||
| In like innumerable ways. | ||
| Oh, but Matt Gaetz, well, that's a bridge too far. | ||
| Remember, he was mean to my friend Kevin one time. | ||
| Can't let him be AG anymore. | ||
| So, like I said, we're eight plus years out from the first major victory of MAGA. So we're like nine... | ||
| Almost 10 years out from the movement first getting going, I would have thought at this point the holdouts would have either come to terms with the fact that the Republican Party is not with them anymore or they would have been primaried by now, but I guess not. | ||
| I guess they still haven't learned their lesson and they're still clinging bitterly to the institutional authority they've accrued over the last several decades. | ||
| And they're ruining everything. | ||
| They're absolutely ruining everything. | ||
| For no reason. | ||
| It doesn't benefit them. | ||
| It's not like the Republican Party is ever going to return to being the neocon corporate footstools. | ||
| That's just not going to happen. | ||
| It's not for their own power. | ||
| You see what happens with Republicans who throw their lot in with the Never Trump movement. | ||
| It's the Liz Cheney's The Adam Kissingers of the world, they get paraded around by the Democrats for a few minutes and then cast to the side because nobody likes them over there either. | ||
| So what are they doing? | ||
| So what is the benefit? | ||
| What is the cost-benefit analysis going on here, and how do you possibly land on the side of let's be obstructive jackasses who interrupt our own constituents' desires to set things right? | ||
| And it's crazy because I just have this image. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I keep going back to the warship or just... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Some big parade float. | ||
| I just have this image of Trump at the controls driving along. | ||
| Everybody's on. | ||
| The Trump train's going. | ||
| We're all hanging off the side. | ||
| It's just like we're plowing ahead. | ||
| And the whole time, instead of enjoying that with us, instead of coming along with us, instead of being a part of it and being a contributor to this amazing movement that has conquered American politics against all odds... | ||
| They're just these rats, these goblins, these little monsters like Mitch McConnell just hiding in the shadows, just going, they think they're having fun, I'll ruin it all. | ||
| Like, they're just these gremlins. | ||
| They're just these holdout gremlin goblin morons who just want to ruin things to prove themselves right, I guess. | ||
| They're just mad that we don't like them, so they're just going to ruin everything and act like that makes them right and proves us wrong somehow. | ||
| Like, we're going to win. | ||
| Your time is over. | ||
| The age of the turtle has passed. | ||
| The age of America is here. | ||
| The age of strong conservatism has arrived. | ||
| The age of unapologetic Republicans wielding power arrived eight years ago and they're still just slamming on the brakes, trying everything they possibly can. | ||
| To ruin all the success that we're having and all the victories that we're having. | ||
| Again, maybe the most frustrating part is people are already blaming Trump for it. | ||
| This is the mission right now. | ||
| It is to either force these Republicans in line by just relentlessly bombarding them with messages, by primarying them, by threatening them with being ousted. | ||
| Elon Musk has already dedicated an entire war chest to anybody who wants to challenge these people. | ||
| Get these people on board or out of the way. | ||
| With the sexual scandals, we could really use some sexual blackmail right now. | ||
| If anybody has anything on Susan Murkowski or Liz Murkowski or whatever her name is, Mitch McConnell, we need it now. | ||
| Welcome back, folks. | ||
| I'm going to read a thread now. | ||
| A great Twitter follow. | ||
| If you don't follow her, I suggest you do. | ||
| At Village Crazy Lady, but village is spelled without an A, so V-I-L-L-G-E, Crazy Lady, on X. She put out this bombshell thread yesterday called Matt Gaetz, What Actually Happened. | ||
| She said she spent about two weeks just going through all of the court documents and everything and now lays it out in a very particular timeline. | ||
| I think she starts it off with a reference to me. | ||
| I think she starts it off with a reference to me. | ||
| Because she follows me. | ||
| We interact a lot. | ||
| Village crazy lady. | ||
| She's awesome. | ||
| Mel, I think is her name. | ||
| And yesterday I put out a tweet that went a little bit viral. | ||
| A little bit viral. | ||
| Because I basically said, what the hell is wrong with you people? | ||
| Why can't you keep it in your pants? | ||
| And I, you know, a lot of people saying, don't you get it, Harrison? | ||
| It's all fake. | ||
| It's all fabricated. | ||
| It's like, I get it. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| But why give them anything? | ||
| Why ever put yourself in a position? | ||
| Like, I'm straight up Pence rule at this point. | ||
| Mike, remember when they made fun of Mike Pence for never wanting to be alone with a woman? | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| Yeah, it doesn't seem so stupid now, does it? | ||
| It's like it's the right thing. | ||
| It's the right way to be if you want, if you were ambitious and want to be in politics. | ||
| Why ever give them a reason? | ||
| Why ever give them any possibility of coming up with this stuff? | ||
| Obviously, they'll come up with it. | ||
| They'll just lie about it. | ||
| Maybe the best example is Christine Blasey Ford. | ||
| You can't find a more moral and upstanding choir boy than Kavanaugh. | ||
| And yet they found somebody in his past, come up with something 30 years ago, and he was only really exonerated because he had journals from his childhood that were like, didn't have any parties today. | ||
| I'm like, okay. | ||
| I don't have that. | ||
| I don't have journals from my childhood talking about how many Boy Scout meetings I went to, so I don't know. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| They can make things up, but it's just, it's like... | ||
| It's so frustrating. | ||
| We're two weeks out from the election and it's like already insurmountable obstacles to Trump's agenda. | ||
| It's total victory, total mandate, total landslide, full sweep, everywhere moving to the right, everywhere in the country, every county moving right. | ||
| Republicans just given this golden gift and just immediately they're just tearing it apart and trying to squirrel it away and not doing anything with it. | ||
| It's utterly infuriating and very reminiscent of the 2016 Trump administration. | ||
| I don't get what's wrong with these people. | ||
| I really don't. | ||
| But let's get into this thread. | ||
| So, Village Crazy Lady, Mel starts with a, I think, an oblique reference to my tweet, but... | ||
| Let's just start. | ||
| Matt Gaetz, what actually happened? | ||
| All right, friends, now that Matt Gaetz is out of the running, you're going to hear a lot of takes on what happened and plenty of keep your blank in your pants lines too. | ||
| And while that's always good advice, the story I'm about to share goes way beyond anything you could possibly imagine. | ||
| So if you're interested in the whole story consolidated in one place of what really happened with and two gates, take a seat and let me tell you a story. | ||
| Part one, the tax collector. | ||
| The story begins in fall 2019 in Florida with this man, Joel Greenberg. | ||
| At the time, Joel Greenberg was two and a half years into his first term as tax collector for Seminole County. | ||
| He's your classic rich kid who drinks his way through life, lighting fires everyone else is forced to put out. | ||
| By fall 2019, Seminole County was awash with rumors about federal investigations into Greenberg's crypto scam with tax collector dollars. | ||
| These rumors inspired a local music teacher, Brian Bute, to throw his hat in the ring and challenge Greenberg and the Republican Party slated for the following year. | ||
| Despite the many advantages Greenberg held over Butte in the race, incumbency, wealth name recognition, etc., Greenberg's significant criminal activity as tax collector likely contributed to him becoming obsessed with destroying Butte both publicly and privately. | ||
| So throughout late 2019 and into 2020, Greenberg rolled out a series of ever-escalating smear tactics against Butte. | ||
| They started rather typical, labeling Butte, who's from Michigan, as a carpetbagger, but they grew increasingly vicious. | ||
| He created fake Facebook profiles pretending to be Butte's students, leaving comments on public posts trashing Butte as an awful teacher and a pervert. | ||
| Greenberg's antics finally reached an apex when he mailed handwritten letters to the administration at the school where Butte taught, accusing him of sexually assaulting students. | ||
| Greenberg probably didn't expect those letters to be taken so seriously, or else he likely would have been a little more careful. | ||
| But alas, he was not, and when the letters were turned over to the local sheriff's office, both his fingerprints and DNA were lifted from them, and he was arrested on June 23, 2020, and charged by the DOJ with stalking. | ||
| At the time of arrest, Greenberg's phone was confiscated and searched, and believe it or not, this is where the real legal troubles began. | ||
| On his cell phone and later home computers, police found evidence of Greenberg committing damn near every crime in the book—embezzlement, drugs, prostitution, identity theft, wire fraud, crypto market manipulation. | ||
| But the silver tuna was a series of messages that occurred in the late spring through early fall of 2017 between Greenberg and a then-17-year-old girl discussing, amongst other things, their many sexcapades around Florida and beyond. | ||
| Many further investigations revealed that from December 2016 through 2018, Joel Greenberg was a customer on Sugar Daddy website, where he solicited various women for sex and escort services. | ||
| This is where he met the aforementioned 17-year-old. | ||
| All told, Mr. Greenberg spent over $70,000 on hookers he met on Sugar Daddy websites, much of which he paid with his government-issued Amex card. | ||
| In August 2020, DOJ charged Joel Greenberg with sex trafficking of a minor, identity theft, and production of false identification documents, among other things. | ||
| Turns out in Florida, the Office of County Tax Collector doesn't just collect taxes. | ||
| They also issue driver's licenses and state IDs. | ||
| And Mr. Greenberg had taken full advantage of this privilege during his time in office. | ||
| Greenberg had not only created multiple fake... | ||
| Florida IDs for himself. | ||
| He also created a fake ID for his underage lover after finding out she'd been lying to him about her age. | ||
| And this is where Matt Gaetz comes into the story. | ||
| From what I can gather, Gaetz and Greenberg became acquainted at some point in the first half of 2017. The first public record of them associating on a private level comes from a picture posted on X, then Twitter on July 8th, 2017, with none other than Roger Stone. | ||
| I think it's safe to say the two did become friends. | ||
| How good of friends? | ||
| Well, that's up for you to debate, but there was certainly a relationship. | ||
| After getting arrested in June 2020, at some point Mr. Greenberg, or maybe his lawyers, approached Bill Barr's DOJ with a proposition. | ||
| He claimed he could provide evidence that a sitting Congressman Gates had engaged in a sex act with a minor. | ||
| Bill Barr's DOJ then proceeded to open a secret investigation into these allegations. | ||
| That remained a secret until it was leaked the next spring, March 30, 2021, by the New York Times. | ||
| Thus ends part one of this story. | ||
| And just to take a brief aside here, does it ever just boggle anyone's mind that people like this exist? | ||
| It's another thing I genuinely don't understand. | ||
| How do you have the mental capacity? | ||
| How do you have the energy to be such a criminal? | ||
| To be such a scumbag criminal? | ||
| I genuinely don't get it. | ||
| Can you imagine the amount of lies he has to tell? | ||
| Plates he has to keep spinning at any one point. | ||
| He's like scamming people with crypto. | ||
| He's like stalking and harassing people. | ||
| He's accusing his opponent of sexual misconduct with children while he is engaged in sexual misconduct with children. | ||
| He's like blackmailing congressmen. | ||
| I mean, it's just... | ||
| These people exist out there. | ||
| There's like thousands of them. | ||
| Just every day, all day is just scam, scam, scam, must scam, I must scam. | ||
| It's like a compulsion, just like a dog has to eat. | ||
| These people, they just have to scam. | ||
| They have to scam, scam, scam constantly. | ||
| They don't get caught, they don't get punished, and they just keep doing it over and over. | ||
| It's like they are the white-collar equivalent of the illegal immigrant who's arrested six times and then arrested again yesterday for breaking into someone's home and sexually assaulting her at knife point. | ||
| It's just like... | ||
| I can't even imagine. | ||
| Because in my world, if you, you know, charge the wrong credit card At Starbucks, you're going to get like a police summons. | ||
| You're going to be in trouble. | ||
| These people are spending $70,000 on a government credit card and just nobody knows, nobody notices, nobody finds out, nobody does anything about it. | ||
| I just, I don't get how some people just exist outside of the law for all of their lives in this constant just whirlwind of scam after abuse after scam and it's Shocking. | ||
| So, it's no wonder this type of guy is at the heart of this whole thing. | ||
| So, he meets Matt Gaetz, probably, you know, pals around with him. | ||
| Some 17-year-old, he's met on some sex trafficking site. | ||
| And turns him over to Bill Barr, probably to cover his own ass for some, and some other weird, probably unknown scam that he's pulling in some other way. | ||
| It's just insane. | ||
| So, now comes part two, The Man in Iran. | ||
| And this is the story that I've been sort of mentioning over the past week, but this breaks it down fully. | ||
| Faithful viewers of Tucker Carlson were treated to a peek behind the DC curtain on a random Tuesday night in late March 2021. Earlier that day, the New York Times had released a bombshell story alleging that the DOJ had opened up an official investigation into Gates over allegations he had engaged in sex with an underage girl. | ||
| Following Tucker's opening monologue, he introduced Matt Gates and gave him free reign to tell his side of the story. | ||
| Anyone watching is unlikely to soon forget the absolute bizarre story that Gates proceeded to tell. | ||
| It involved a $25 million extortion threat against his father to help free American hostages in Iran that would be paid back with a presidential pardon for Gates on all these charges. | ||
| That's what we've talked about. | ||
| Gates demanded that the FBI release the tapes they had in their possession of recordings made by his father in interviews with the extortionist. | ||
| He didn't hesitate to a second to name the alleged extortionist David McGee. | ||
| He said he was the former prosecutor of the Northern District of Florida, now worked at the prestigious Biggs and Lane Law Forum in Pensacola. | ||
| He was resolute and unafraid when of talking, yet he sounded like an absolute lunatic. | ||
| I know I was watching live and I wasn't the only one. | ||
| Tucker was clearly annoyed and unconvinced by the end, and yet 3.5 years later... | ||
| I now know everything he said was true. | ||
| Bob Levinson was the man in Iran. | ||
| The official story of Bob Levinson is that he is a retired FBI agent who was contracted by semi-off-the-book CIA unit to run a covert op in Iran. | ||
| He was kidnapped from Kish Island following a meeting with an American fugitive living in Iran that had been arranged by a former NBC producer named Ira Silverman. | ||
| This thread's already long, so I'm not going to speculate on what I think. | ||
| There's plenty out there, so you want to go chase these rabbits. | ||
| This is a good opportunity to do a little Wikipedia hopscotch, start clicking names out there, find out who these people are. | ||
| So Levinson gets kidnapped in March 2007, and his disappearance was acknowledged by George Bush in June 2007 as concerning, but nobody from the federal government will admit that Levinson was working for the CIA. | ||
| Unbeknownst to anyone at the time, from 2009 to 2011, the FBI was running its own covert operation to get the retired agent back, and they devised an ingenious plan to keep the whole thing off the books. | ||
| They contracted with a Russian billionaire, Oleg Deripaska, to pay for the rescue mission, $20 million in total. | ||
| In exchange, they fast-tracked green cards for Deripaska and his family. | ||
| During his time at the DOJ, McGee worked on an organized crime task force. | ||
| That's how he knew Bob Levinson, who specialized in Russian money laundering. | ||
| McGee became a liaison between the Levinson family and Deripaska. | ||
| And so let me stop right here and say this whole thing is nuts and stinks to high heavens. | ||
| To make matters worse, who was the FBI point man on the Deripaska deal? | ||
| Andrew McCabe. | ||
| Yes, that Andrew McCabe. | ||
| Anyway, the FBI team gets a couple of proof of life videos and they have a soft arrangement in place for the Clinton State Department to step steps in and shut the whole thing down. | ||
| Something got them spooked. | ||
| What that was has never been disclosed. | ||
| After 2011, Levinson is never heard from again. | ||
| All along, the Iranians deny any involvement in his disappearance, expected. | ||
| So eventually the CIA gets desperate, and a handful of classified documents confirming Levinson's contract with the CIA are leaked to the AP in December 2013. Still, the Iranians don't budge. | ||
| This was surprising. | ||
| At this point, they no longer have any reason to lie. | ||
| The Americans weren't lying anymore. | ||
| Time to start negotiations. | ||
| But nope, the news was greeted with radio silence. | ||
| Years go by and no more pictures of video ever arrive. | ||
| Then comes the Iranian nuclear deal of 2016. Unbeknownst to most, the Obama team had negotiated the release of four Americans being held in Iran in exchange for the U.S. dropping charges against seven Iranian nationals for sanctions violations. | ||
| Bob Levinson was not one of those Americans. | ||
| The American Jewish community was furious. | ||
| They already saw the Iran deal as a stab in the back to Israel. | ||
| But when word broke about the prisoner exchange and Bob Levinson wasn't on the list, many took it as a deliberate betrayal of American Jews, too. | ||
| Flash forward some time. | ||
| Trump takes office, cancels the nuclear deal. | ||
| Christine Levinson sues Iran in U.S. courts and is awarded a $1.2 billion judgment in January 2020. | ||
| And in March 2020, the U.S. government declares Bob Levinson legally dead. | ||
| Case closed, right? | ||
| Well, no. | ||
| At some point in summer 2020, a former Air Force intelligence officer named Bob Kent claims to have received news from his network in Iraq claiming that Bob Levinson was still alive. | ||
| Kent even claims he received pictures to prove it. | ||
| So Kent contacts David McGee, who tells Kent that the last privately funded search and rescue for Levinson, and that's when Kent hatches the plan to rope Don Gates into paying for this one. | ||
| Now I know what you're all wondering. | ||
| How do these men know about the Matt Gates investigation? | ||
| Well, to my knowledge, this has never been revealed. | ||
| If I had to guess, I'd say somebody in the DOJ or FBI leaked that info to McGee, who then told Kent about it when he was contacted, but that's still the only answer. | ||
| This is the part of the story where I start spiraling. | ||
| I wonder how long this plan had been in the works. | ||
| Nothing adds up. | ||
| But for now, I'll spare you my suspicions and stick to what I know. | ||
| So part three, the grand plan. | ||
| It was March 16, 2021, when Don Gates received the first text message from Bob Kent about his grand plan. | ||
| In exchange for Don fronting Mr. Kent's rescue mission of Bob Levinson, unnamed agents with powerful contracts Contacts in the Biden administration would convince the president to give Don's son, Matt, a full presidential pardon for his looming sex trafficking charges. | ||
| The price was $25 million. | ||
| Naturally, Gates Sr. was incredulous. | ||
| What in the world was this man talking about? | ||
| Matt, Gates wasn't facing sex trafficking charges. | ||
| Don called Matt, who immediately told him to contact the local FBI office. | ||
| The FBI suggested that Don meet with David McGee wearing a wire, and Don agreed. | ||
| However, just before the meeting took place, Don requested a written acknowledgement from the FBI on the purpose of the investigation in the meeting. | ||
| He was worried something he said could be used against Matt in the case and still didn't he didn't still didn't know anything about. | ||
| The FBI was reluctant at first, but they eventually agreed. | ||
| The very next day, The New York Times ran the leak on the DOJ's case against Gates. | ||
| Going back and watching the Tucker Gates interview again this week, everything he said has finally made sense. | ||
| The FBI had planned to use Don's meeting with McGee against Matt. | ||
| The quasi immunity man from demand from Don quashed that so they leaked the story to The New York Times and then buried the wire tapes. | ||
| I think that that part is key in all of this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Everything Gates said in the interview with Doug Carlson made sense. | ||
| The FBI planned to use Don's meeting with McGee against Matt. | ||
| So again, Don Gates gets this call from McGee who's like, oh, hey, let me tell you, your son is under investigation for sex trafficking, but we can get him a pardon. | ||
| We just need $25 million to free this spy that is definitely alive in Iran. | ||
| This is crazy, right? | ||
| He hasn't heard Matt Gaetz is under investigation at all. | ||
| He calls Matt Gaetz. | ||
| Matt Gaetz is like, call the FBI. Not really fully understanding that the FBI is the one doing the investigation and also is who McGee works for. | ||
| Like, it's all the FBI. So, you're reporting to the FBI what they're doing themselves. | ||
| And it seems, with the timeline, very likely that they planned on using this interview to entrap Don Gates even further. | ||
| Maybe make him complicit with Matt Gates or use the information against Matt Gates. | ||
| But the fact that the story about Matt Gates' sex trafficking investigation leaked the next day, I think perfectly lines up. | ||
| And Mel's conclusion, I think, is correct here. | ||
| The quasi-immunity, Dan, from... | ||
| Or when they say... | ||
| Yeah, the quasi-immunity demand from Don quashed that, so they leaked the story to the New York Times and buried the wire tapes. | ||
| McGee and Kent denied everything. | ||
| They said there was no extortion. | ||
| It was a simple proposition. | ||
| They accused Matt of using this to distract from his charges. | ||
| A third man was eventually charged with wire fraud in relation to the case, and then the FBI just drops it all and pretends that none of this ever happened. | ||
| But wait, there's more, because this story wasn't weird enough. | ||
| Here's another twist. | ||
| At the same time that Don Gates was getting those messages from Kenton McGee, Scott Adams, you know, the Dilbert guy, receives a message from the acquaintance of him, Jacob Novak, who works as the media director for the Israeli consulate. | ||
| The first one arrives the Saturday the story breaks. | ||
| The next two arrive Wednesday the 31st after Gates went on Tucker and revealed Dave McGee's name to the world. | ||
| To his credit, the whole thing was sketchy as hell to Scott Adams, so he took upon himself to release Novak's messages. | ||
| The Israeli consulate immediately distanced themselves from Novak's messages, but he was not fired or disciplined. | ||
| So apparently this guy Novak in the Israeli consulate knew about all of this before the media, probably because Israel was the one orchestrating it all. | ||
| And Levinson was likely a Mossad agent, not a CIA agent, in my interpretation. | ||
| So part four is the wrap up. | ||
| Joel Greenberg pled guilty to sex trafficking, identity fraud, wire fraud and a host of other charges in May 2021. | ||
| He was sentenced to 11 years in prison, 10 of those coming from the mandatory minimum imposed by the sex trafficking charge. | ||
| The DOJ did not close its case against Matt Gaetz until October 2022. | ||
| They never publicly acknowledged why he was not charged, although it became fairly obvious once you learn that Joel Greenberg had produced fake IDs for the underage girls in question. | ||
| How can you convict somebody of statutory rape when this woman was using a real state of Florida driver's license to present of being as age? | ||
| Because remember... | ||
| What's his name? | ||
| He was in charge of making IDs. | ||
| He made fake IDs for these women. | ||
| But of course, because it's the swamp, that's not where Matt Troubles ended. | ||
| The snakes in D.C. were going to milk that investigation for all it's worth. | ||
| And when Gates went for McCarthy during the Speaker fight, McCarthy and his allies plotted carefully to get their revenge. | ||
| We saw the culmination of that plotting on full display today. | ||
| There are still lots of unanswered questions. | ||
| Who is the we that Jacob Novak referred to in his text to Scott Adams? | ||
| Who leaked the info about Gates' case to Bob Kent? | ||
| Who was Joel Greenberg running a honeypot scheme? | ||
| Was Joel Greenberg running a honeypot scheme? | ||
| If so, for who? | ||
| Sure would be nice to get an attorney general in office that actually gave a damn about answering any of these questions. | ||
| Thanks so much for taking the time to read the whole thread. | ||
| So yeah, that's a very succinct and effective timeline. | ||
| So go follow Mel at Village Crazy Lady, but the village is without an A. V-I-L-L-G-E, Crazy Lady. | ||
| She is a fantastic follow for a number of reasons, but this is, I think, some of the best stuff I've seen from her, that investigation. | ||
| And I think it all ties, frankly, I think it all ties into Israel. | ||
| I think it's all completely about Israel. | ||
| And we talked about it before, you know, because Matt Gaetz was the only person receiving significant pushback and yet is the only person who has not taken AIPAC money and stood up against the anti-Semitism bill actually coming out to say this would make parts of the gospel illegal. | ||
| That's ridiculous. | ||
| And I want to go back and we're going to have guests come on very shortly, so I might not have time to do it today. | ||
| But the most important thing to understand how this lobbying effort operates, the lobby, the Al Jazeera documentary, we explain how they choose who to support, who not to support. | ||
| And in that case, it was the Iran deal. | ||
| So this actually relates to everything else we just talked about. | ||
| But at the time, it was the Iran deal, and that was the concern. | ||
| It was like they want the Iran deal, and they'll support anybody that supports that. | ||
| It doesn't matter what else they support. | ||
| They've got to be good on this because that's the concern. | ||
| That's the ultimate thing. | ||
| That's what they want. | ||
| That's what they need. | ||
| So all of these organizations, all these Jewish organizations all throughout America, just put all of their time and all of their money into finding politicians who, doesn't matter what else they thought, would be hardcore in support of the Iran deal. | ||
| There's a new version of this. | ||
| It is the anti-Semitism bill. | ||
| So yesterday, Matt Gaetz goes to the Senate, has a meeting with them where he learned something that makes him withdraw his name. | ||
| At the same time, on the same day, and with the same people, the ADL is meeting. | ||
| They tweeted this out, and then they deleted it shortly after. | ||
| ADL advocates met with bipartisan leaders in the House and Senate to urge swift passage of the Countering Antisemitism Act and Antisemitism Awareness Act. | ||
| The Congress must send these two bills to the president to sign into law. | ||
| There's no time to waste. | ||
| And here they are, glad-handing with... | ||
| Yeah, senators and congressmen from both sides of the aisle, because if there's one thing that brings about bipartisanship in America, it is curtailing the rights of Americans for the sake of the Jewish lobby. | ||
| So I honestly think that's what it has to do with, as Pam Bondi is very forcefully in favor of the Anti-Semitism Act. | ||
| And this is how they operate. | ||
| In 2016 and before it was the Iran deal and getting people aligned on that because that was the ultimate step, next step in the plans that they're operating under. | ||
| And in this case, clearly they have determined that the anti-Semitism bill is a necessary stepping stone, a necessary requisite, a necessary checkpoint they have to get to For a number of reasons, right? | ||
| Because the anti-Semitism bill uses the, whatever the organization is, I can't remember exactly what it's called, but it's the official Holocaust Remembrance Association, and they define anti-Semitism as criticism of the state of Israel, or any crimes committed by a Jewish person, real or imagined. | ||
| So clearly they want to get the anti-Semitism law in place. | ||
| So it will be the biggest attack against the First Amendment probably in American history as criticizing a sovereign nation-state foreign to us will be made illegal. | ||
| And I guess that will be necessary for whatever they do next that they don't want you talking about. | ||
| So I think that's what it's really all about. | ||

| Welcome back to the show, sir. | ||
| Well, it's good to be back. | ||
| Thanks for having me. | ||
| It's my pleasure. | ||
| I wish it was under happier circumstances, but we started the show off today with Putin's statement, essentially saying that the U.S. and the U.K. were valid targets for nuclear missiles because they supplied the weapons to Ukraine. | ||
| I feel like we are at a greater risk of nuclear exchange than ever in our history, including the Cold War, specifically because it seems like our leadership doesn't even care or doesn't take the threat seriously, which is insane. | ||
| Would you agree with that? | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| In fact, this was how I ended my most recent book, A Disaster of Our Own Making, How the West Lost Ukraine. | ||
| I ended it with we might be sliding accidentally into a world nuclear war because we have a leader whose brain isn't there and he's being sort of corralled by these special interests around him, notably Boy Wonder Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken. | ||
| You know, guitar playing us into the apocalypse. | ||
| But the upside here, I just want to say one thing is I actually, I take a somewhat different view about what Putin is doing in the last 72 hours. | ||
| I think that Putin is, ironically, the most stable actor in this affair. | ||
| And I think he knows full well that in about 80 days or so, January 20th will come and Donald Trump will be inaugurated. | ||
| And he knows he will have a more stable partner and peace in Donald Trump. | ||
| So he's basically, I think... | ||
| Just going to put on a spectacle, Putin will, launching these systems to sort of say, I'm retaliating. | ||
| But what I was told, I just got back from Washington, D.C., I was briefing the Pentagon. | ||
| What I was told from somebody in the Pentagon is that the Russians told the White House, hey, we're getting ready to retaliate. | ||
| This is our target in Dnepro. | ||
| We are using a non-nuclear system. | ||
| This is not a nuclear attack. | ||
| And the White House, I think, knew that this was a legitimate thing that they were being told. | ||
| And so I actually think Putin right now is flexing, but he's not going to go off the deep end because he knows in about 80 days there will be a change in leadership, unless something, God help us, happens to Trump, which is still a possibility because we know the people who tried to kill him twice before are still out there. | ||
| Yeah, well, okay, that's very interesting because I had heard that it was the Ukrainian authorities that actually had to warn the Americans on the ground of the incoming missile attack. | ||
| Maybe I have that wrong, but it was my understanding that the Americans were somehow less informed about the incoming missile attack than Ukraine was. | ||
| Do you think, was I getting misinformation? | ||
| No, I mean, this came from one guy at an event I was doing yesterday with the Defense Department, and I might have been given – look, I have in the past been given disinformation because these guys know where I stand on issues, and so it is possible that maybe I was given disinformation, but from what I was told – It's sort of like the Iranian strikes on Israel, right? | ||
| That's basically what I was told this was akin to, was that we didn't know exactly what they were going to do, but we knew it was not going to be a real escalation. | ||
| And if you just look at what's going on, I don't think Putin is a fool. | ||
| I think he knows that the Biden regime is trying to lock their successor into a course of action that the successor does not want to engage in, which is war with Russia. | ||
| And I think that Putin fundamentally understands that if he just waits it out, that he will probably be able to get the deal he wants. | ||
| Well, you know, one of the things that we learned from his interview with Tucker Carlson was the way that presidents don't really have as much power as we think they do, right? | ||
| It was the story, you told a couple stories about, you know, getting to an agreement with an American president. | ||
| Yeah, let's do that. | ||
| that. | ||
| Sure, we can cooperate on that, only for the president to go talk to some men in black suits in a dark room somewhere and come back an hour later going, actually, we're not going to do that. | ||
| I've been corrected. | ||
| So I wonder how much weight is Putin putting in the presidential transition, or is Putin sort of dealing with the people above the president at this point? | ||
| Yeah, I think that Putin has been around the block for a while now, and he calls, you're right, the men in the gray suits is what he calls them. | ||
| And I think that he is not putting much stock. | ||
| I'll tell you what a Russian told me recently, is that they have guarded optimism about Trump's return, because they know that Trump, they think Trump is being sincere, but they're always worried about the men in gray suits, but But this time, you know, even Mike Waltz apparently is upset about this, the incoming national security advisor for Trump. | ||
| Even Mike Waltz is upset that the Biden administration did this escalation. | ||
| So that indicates to me, and Waltz is somewhat on the neocon side, and he's certainly a hawk on the Russia-Ukraine war, but that indicates to me that maybe, just maybe, Trump is bringing in some people who are actually going to execute his agenda this time, unlike James Mattis and the others in the first term. | ||
| Right, and he had to fire them for refusing to do what he said and refusing to do things like remove troops from Syria. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So just as I'm sort of word gaming this out, if I'm Putin, I think you're right. | ||
| I mean, I think the safest course of action is to keep things as they are, you know, just keep this balancing act going until Trump gets into office. | ||
| And there's some discussion about perhaps Trump starting to negotiate or lay the groundwork for negotiation before he even gets into office. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But as you game it out, what would Russia's tactic be? | ||
| Because you know that if they actually unleash nukes against Western Europe, they're going to be retaliated against massively in ways that they really can't handle, especially from places like UK, who has a significant nuclear arsenal on submarines. | ||
| There's none of them on land, so they can't actually target the storage facilities for destruction because they're just in various submarines hidden underneath the water somewhere. | ||
| So that's not really a possibility, them just outright bombing England. | ||
| I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. | ||
| It's bravado. | ||
| You have to understand, Putin is a classic Russian strongman. | ||
| This is how they are going back to Peter the Great. | ||
| This is what they do. | ||
| If you come at them, they're going to beat their chests and And this is how they keep their people in line. | ||
| Hey, I've got this under control. | ||
| Look how tough I'm being with the Europeans, with our old enemies in Britain. | ||
| Plus, Britain's an easy target to bully. | ||
| I mean, they're not what they used to be. | ||
| And under Keir Starmer's leadership, everybody knows that Britain is especially weak. | ||
| And so this is easy for him politically to do, to kind of spit in the eye of Britain and not have to really pay any consequences for it. | ||
| I don't believe, and I hope I'm correct, I don't believe that Putin is going to strike European or American targets over Christmas, for instance. | ||
| I think what he's doing is he's using really exotic technology. | ||
| We saw this strike. | ||
| There's some confusion in the intelligence community right now. | ||
| Was it an IRBM? Was it an ICBM, non-nuclear? | ||
| Was it a hypersonic weapon? | ||
| I was just during the break before we started a friend of mine at DIA was texting me saying that it doesn't really matter because ultimately the Russians designed their systems to basically kind of skirt the rules of previous arms control agreements so these things are very powerful And the bottom line is they used a system they know would put on a dazzling show for Western cameras to send a signal that we really can mess you up if we choose to, but we are choosing not to. | ||
| And so Putin, it doesn't serve his interest to go into World War III fully against us, knowing that in just a couple months there's a new leader who very much wants To get a deal. | ||
| And Putin also knows at the negotiating table, he's got a lot of the cards. | ||
| I mean, look, his country's winning. | ||
| They're winning the war. | ||
| It's an ugly war. | ||
| It's a messy war. | ||
| It's not a war that I think Americans would want to fight. | ||
| Maybe our government would. | ||
| But the Russians are winning it. | ||
| And so one way or the other, Putin will walk away with what he wants. | ||
| The key thing for Putin in a negotiation, he's said this since 2014, Is he wants international legal recognition of the Russian annexation of Crimea from 2014. Now, that was Obama's mess. | ||
| And so Trump has no problem, I think, giving him that because he's cleaning up Obama's mess. | ||
| And so I think we're going to be okay. | ||
| I'm usually accused of being a doomer. | ||
| But I think we're going to be okay on this one because Putin is not a stupid man, unlike our leaders. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Right, no, I get that same feeling hearing him talk. | ||
| And, you know, I explain it, how it's a very similar situation, you know, here in America, legally, where, like, the right-wingers, we, InfoWars, like, if we, you know, miss a decimal point, it's, oh, my God, it's horrible, it's a big crime, whereas the left just gets to do whatever the hell they want. | ||
| Well, in the international world, a place like Israel and America can sort of thumb their nose at the UN or the, you know, international rules-based order that we're supposedly fighting this war for. | ||
| But Russia... | ||
| Is sort of obsessed with sticking very carefully to the law. | ||
| They never want to give their opponents in America an excuse to say, ah, see they're breaking international law here. | ||
| We have a right to go after them. | ||
| Is that right or is that an illusion? | ||
| No, I think you're generally right. | ||
| The Russians believe that the, and I think they're right to some degree, the Russians believe that these international organizations that the Americans actually helped to create in the previous century tend to actually lean in the direction of Russia and China. | ||
| And so they have no problem, you know, comporting with those things because they know ultimately, particularly the global south, the countries from that developing part of the world, they tend to favor Russia and China as a counterweight to the Americans and their allies who they view as being sort of neo-colonialists and imperialists. | ||
| And so they sort of play up in Russia that narrative that they're the anti-colonial power. | ||
| It's the same narrative they used in the Cold War, less believably because they were Marxist. | ||
| But today it's a little bit different. | ||
| They're not Marxist anymore. | ||
| And so I think a lot of people in the developing world in these international institutions... | ||
| Give them cover because they know that, in their minds, Russia is not the colonial power. | ||
| And there's some debate, obviously, in Eastern Europe as to whether that's true. | ||
| But the fact of the matter is, is that, as I note in my book, it is very obvious that NATO started this war. | ||
| And it is very obvious that it was started by the Biden administration Who had real designs to basically try to collapse Russia in part because they blame Russia because they think Russia tried to collude with the Trump campaign in 2016 and this is how they're going to get their revenge on Russia because how dare you take Hillary's great win, supposedly. | ||
| And so there's a lot of insane domestic political cogitations going on in the minds of these Democrats when they go after Russia. | ||
| And they're willing to risk World War III. But the good news here in this case, I think, is that Putin knows, why would I risk World War III if I can get a deal in 80 days? | ||
| Okay, so I completely agree. | ||
| And that's a great point. | ||
| And I think you're right about the way Putin is approached. | ||
| Obviously, we can't read his mind. | ||
| But from all appearances, that is what's happening here. | ||
| So just again, war planning this out, game planning this out. | ||
| What is America's next move? | ||
| If Russia is sort of putting on a show and just pretending, what's America doing to try to instigate this fight? | ||
| Yeah, so there will be more instigations, I can assure you. | ||
| The Biden regime is not going to go quietly into that good night. | ||
| So they are going to continue to pop off weapons systems deeper inside of Russia. | ||
| They will continue to try to put the Russians in a position where Basically, they can't ignore the provocations, which is the real risk here, because we can talk about the rational actor theory all we want, but ultimately Putin is also beholden to his people, and if the Ukrainians using U.S. and British technology can hit hard deep inside of Russia, he will have to escalate his response. | ||
| I don't know, though, how much more the Ukrainians can do targeting Russia proper. | ||
| There's 190, I think it's 190 mile range that those missiles, the Atakums have and that the Storm Shadows have. | ||
| So beyond that, they're not going to be able to do much more. | ||
| And Ukraine is about to get pushed out of Kursk as well, which is where the fighting's been going on inside of Russia between Ukrainian forces. | ||
| So I can believe there will be more missile attacks using American and British technology. | ||
| But I also do not think that Putin will do much in the way of retaliation. | ||
| I think he will lob missiles in response, but it will not be that nuclear escalation yet. | ||
| I still think that ultimately he will be able to contain the situation and hold out until Now, look, if Trump gets in there and he's surrounded by some people who are on that neocon side, so it is possible that once he's inaugurated, he might lose a lot of leverage because those advisors are going to try to kind of hem him in. | ||
| So there's always the chance that we slide into war at that point. | ||
| But I still have great hope that the negotiation track will be the track we go. | ||
| Yeah, and I mean, Trump has promoted that so much. | ||
| It doesn't seem like he's changed his tactic there. | ||
| Now, it's very interesting. | ||
| And, you know, before when I was saying it, I'd heard that the Ukrainians knew that the missiles were coming, but the Americans didn't. | ||
| I think it's perfectly reasonable that one Putin would warn Americans that this was happening because what you don't want is some sort of automated system or some sort of immediate reaction where they think a nuke has just been dropped. | ||
| And so they just, you know, all systems go. | ||
| So you want to Prevent that from happening. | ||
| That makes perfect sense why Putin would want to talk, and it makes perfect sense why America would not tell even our people on the ground that this was happening because you don't want people to know that you have these back-channel communications. | ||
| Right, exactly. | ||
| So, yeah, okay, so does that make sense to you? | ||
| Again, I'm just hearing this for the first time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, it does, it does. | |
| Well, this is why I even brought up what that individual told me yesterday because I actually happened to believe them because basically what would have happened, what I was told is it's very hard for our analysts. | ||
| We can detect these systems being launched. | ||
| But it's hard for us to know if they're nuclear or non-nuclear in five minutes time. | ||
| So that's why it's helpful if the other side calls up and is like, yo, we're doing this, but this is not what you think it is. | ||
| Let's not escalate. | ||
| Let's not go up that escalation ladder. | ||
| from it. | ||
| So I tend to put more stock in what that individual told me yesterday, which is that we were alerted and, you know, you know, we didn't disseminate all the information to our people on the ground because of what you said, which is we don't want it getting out that, you know, this sort of thing is all basically just staged. | ||
| And it's, you know, it's jockeying. | ||
| Also, you have to remember, look, all the sides involved know that there's a new game in town when Trump is inaugurated, and so now the deep state of Britain and America and NATO, along with the Putin government, they're all jockeying right now to try to get leverage for when the negotiations begin after Trump is inaugurated. | ||
| And so some of this flexing being done by both sides is signaling to the other side that, hey, we've still got it, and don't worry. | ||
| If we need to punch you in the nose, we can. | ||
| And so this is all sort of just pregame jockeying before the big show of the negotiating begins. | ||
| And of course, we know that when it actually comes to the potential for World War III, it's not even Russia that's the concern. | ||
| It's the entangled alliances, right? | ||
| Yes, and you and I spoke about that before. | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| That's the key. | ||
| When does China get pulled in, I guess, is the question. | ||
| Well, that's the thing is that, you know, actually, if Trump can get an agreement, I believe that China and Russia will not be as close as they are right now because it's Ukraine that's uniting them. | ||
| And ultimately, Russia and China, although they are so close to each other physically, they have a history of resentment and they also have divergent national interests from each other. | ||
| They're united on Ukraine, but if Ukraine is not a war zone anymore, those divisions will come to the fore. | ||
| The thing that keeps me up at night, more than Ukraine even, is the situation in the Middle East. | ||
| But even that, and we spoke about this before, even that though, The Russians have a pretty firm hold, it looks like, on Iran. | ||
| And if they don't want Iran escalating, they're not going to escalate. | ||
| And I think that's one of the reasons why you haven't seen the explosion in the Middle East that I was initially thinking was going to come a year ago when October 7th happened. | ||
| And so here again, we have Russia playing the stable actor, whereas it's the West that's acting like insane fools. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, time and time again, and I agree, and I keep thinking this, and I keep forgetting to say it, so I'm glad you reminded me. | ||
| I do get the distinct feeling that, like, we're watching a magician while he is, you know, showing us Russia and the hypersonic missiles over here. | ||
| What we should be looking at is, where's his other hand? | ||
| What's he doing in the Middle East over here? | ||
| So I've been waiting, you know, half expecting, you know, as we're all looking at Russia, some giant attack against Iran is going to pop off tomorrow or something. | ||
| I mean, what do you think the likelihood of that? | ||
| So, I will tell you right now, I've made a conscious effort to not criticize the Trump picks at all publicly because I want him to have as much support as possible going in. | ||
| But I will tell you, he has surrounded himself with a lot of neoconservative types. | ||
| And so my prediction is that there in his first year or two in office, there's going to be a major military move against Iran directly. | ||
| I don't know if it'll be an invasion, but definitely a massive air war. | ||
| I think that it doesn't matter whether Biden or Trump is in office. | ||
| This is where it's headed. | ||
| Now, personally, I'm not a fan of the Iran regime, but I also don't want to see Americans get entangled in another mess in the Middle East. | ||
| I think though in his first year, we're going to see some major operations against Iran. | ||
| I do think the Houthis will be one of the first to fall. | ||
| I think they're going to get the ISIS treatment that Trump gave ISIS in his first six months. | ||
| So I don't think there'll be a Houthi threat after his first six months in office. | ||
| But I would expect the Trump administration, and this is not what we voted for, but I would expect the Trump administration to likely get very seriously escalatory with Iran in the Middle East. | ||
| I hope you're wrong, Brandon. | ||
| I really, really hope you're wrong about that. | ||
| I would feel like a fool if that was the case because so far everything that he said on the campaign trail and in interviews has been he doesn't want regime change. | ||
| He doesn't want to go to war with Iran. | ||
| So if he goes back on that, I mean that – That would be a nail in the coffin. | ||
| It's not just him. | ||
| It's the people on the ground and they don't, you know, they have different. | ||
| And so, you know, ultimately, though, look, Iran's a bad actor. | ||
| And so if Iran did go away, it would be good for the world. | ||
| I also think if he did knock out that regime, it would not be what George W. Bush and the idiot brigade did in 2003 with Iraq. | ||
| I don't think we'd be having troops patrolling Tehran, for instance. | ||
| Well, I wonder, you know, yeah, I don't think that would be smart, first of all, right? | ||
| These are two very different countries. | ||
| Iran is significantly more powerful and is backed up by Russia, right? | ||
| So, I mean, that's good. | ||
| You know, if he wants peace in Ukraine and war in Iran, like these are kind of incompatible because you're going to have, you know, these two negotiations running up against each other and having separate goals. | ||
| I hope I'm wrong on the Middle East part. | ||
| I hope I'm wrong. | ||
| And again, I want to make it clear. | ||
| Russia has restrained Iran. | ||
| I mean, that is the key thing here because everybody's been scratching their heads. | ||
| Well, why hasn't Iran retaliated? | ||
| Maybe they're not as technologically perfect. | ||
| I'm just going to tell your audience that it's true. | ||
| The Israelis technically are more, you know, they're more advanced militarily than Iran, but there are limits to what they can do over the horizon. | ||
| Whereas the Iranians have a lot of robustness that was given to them by Russia, but yet they haven't used it. | ||
| And it's because the Russians have put sort of strings attached to those weapons transfers You will not use these systems unless we tell you to or else. | ||
| And the Iranians fear the Russians. | ||
| And so the Iranians are not going to step out of line. | ||
| And the Russians do not want a war in the Middle East right now. | ||
| And that's the key thing here. | ||
| Wow, it's amazing. | ||
| You know, it seems like we're on the cusp of one thing. | ||
| Like we're at an inflection point one way or another. | ||
| Because it seems like with the way Ukraine has gone, the way that the Mideast seems to have like wind down a little bit. | ||
| It's like, okay, we could be coming to a conclusion here and have a nice... | ||
| Steady landing, or they could just double down and make everything so much worse. | ||
| Thank you so much for your incredible intelligence and breaking news that Putin actually warned America before launching the attack. | ||
| That's actually a big deal. | ||

| Thank you, Brandon. | ||
| Russia overthrow, say, Mexico or Canada and then station troops on our border and aim missiles at us? | ||
| Would they accept firing the missiles into the United States? | ||
| We're in their backyard. | ||
| The globalists started this. | ||
| It's not Russia running around the world invading 20-something countries in the last couple decades. | ||
| It's our criminal government. | ||
| It's not Russia cutting off the Keystone Pipeline and oil drilling licenses. | ||
| It's not the Russian government shutting down huge amounts of the farms in England, in the Netherlands, in Germany, in France, in Ireland, in Sri Lanka, and saying it's the Great Reset. | ||
| We're getting rid of farming because, quote, particularly, quote, John Kerry, Leninguardian. | ||
| I'm not joking. | ||
| This is not a joke. | ||
| Organic farming is the worst. | ||
| John Kerry. | ||
| Farming is the third largest source of greenhouse gases that are part of the planet's atmosphere and are good, part of the life cycle. | ||
| Didn't say that part. | ||
| And we need to get rid of half the farming on Earth. | ||
| You want to see the videos from this year and last year? | ||
| And now they've cut off over a third of the fertilizer being produced in Europe. | ||
| The Europe, counting Ukraine, is the largest producer of fertilizer in the world. | ||
| And you cut a third of it. | ||
| Last time I checked, I think it's more now. | ||
| What happens when you cut the fertilizer? | ||
| That cuts the food yield. | ||
| And so, London Guardian headline, organic farming is the worst for the environment. | ||
| I mean, that's like saying, taking cyanide is good for your health. | ||
| So... | ||
| Yeah, there's Kerry saying, we gotta restrict the farms. | ||
| We gotta cut the food. | ||
| And he goes on to say, or people will starve. | ||
| So what they do is they pump out propaganda that's meant to be pure crap, but with authority to just get people conditioned to accept anything, like two men can have a baby, or there's no X and Y chromosomes, or we're gonna let men be in women's sports, including boxing, and beat women up. | ||
| Yeah, there's the MIT. Sorry, organic farming is actually worse for climate change. | ||
| And the headline's everywhere. | ||
| London Guardian, AP Reuters, New York Times. | ||
| It's also in all those publications. | ||
| Humans are bad. | ||
| We should get rid of all humans. | ||
| The future's not human. | ||
| Looking forward to the end of humans. | ||
| Why the future doesn't need us. | ||
| Why we don't need a human future. | ||
| Just type in everything I said. | ||
| You'll pull it up from them. | ||
| Do those sound like good guys to you? | ||
| How organic, how more organic farming could be worse for global warming, PBS, the NewsHour. | ||
| So did Vladimir Putin do that? | ||
| No, he announced eight years ago that Russia's main initiative when he cut defense spending by 40% was to put the money into organic farming and for Russia to be the leader in organic farming and good food in the world. | ||
| Make the world healthy again. | ||
| That would not be Maha, but would make the world healthy. | ||
| Healthy again, what would that acronym be? | ||
| Organic food could be worse for the environment. | ||
| More land and use to grow crops, which emits up to 70% more carbon. | ||
| Dun, dun, dun. | ||
| You know you're a carbon-based life form. | ||
| You know you're the carbon the globalists want to reduce, right? | ||
| You know that. | ||
| Bill Gates has said that. | ||
| So, and Elon Musk says, look, I think we should have more kids. | ||
| Here's the actuaries. | ||
| We don't have 2.1 kids for every two adults. | ||
| For every family, for every marriage, men and women that get together and procreate, reproduce, in all the numbers, it's a fact, you have a civilizational collapse. | ||
| Well, Italy's at 1.3, Japan's at 1.2, if I could go on. | ||
| The U.S. indigenous population, whether they be black, white, Hispanic, or American citizens born here, is about 1.7. | ||
| So then you're told we need replacement migration, a bunch of brainwashed third world populations. | ||
| So that's where we are. | ||
| And Russia's not doing any of that. | ||
| Is Russia funding drag queen story time? | ||
| Convicted pedophiles with your children? | ||
| Is Russia opening the border up and doing giant human trafficking for Slave labor and sex slavery? | ||
| Oh, no, not Russia. | ||
| Did Russia get all our troops killed in all these funny wars? | ||
| No. | ||
| Maybe Russia attacked us in World War II? No. | ||
| The West attacked Russia. | ||
| British intelligence, on record, put the Bolsheviks in in 1917. And then our own establishment, it wasn't Rosenberg's, our own government gave them the atomic secrets. | ||
| Because Russia was a captured, globalist, leftist, Jacobin, satanic command base. | ||
| And now Russia's gotten free of that. | ||
| And the globalists are so incredibly angry about it. | ||
| So we have a kinship with the Russians because they have the same enemies as us. | ||
| And that's why the New World Order is making its move. | ||

|
Hey Harrison, great to be with you. | |
| Very good to be with you. | ||
| You're like the number that we call whenever the apocalypse clock ticks closer to midnight, and it seems like we, I started our last conversation with this too, it seems like we're closer now than we ever have been before. | ||
| Do you think that's an accurate reading of the situation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It absolutely is. | |
| You know, it was in October of 2022 that Biden said we were closer to a nuclear war with Russia than we'd ever been since the Cuban Missile Crisis. | ||
| And I would argue that we may be even closer to a nuclear war today than the Cuban Missile Crisis. | ||
| Things are escalating very quickly thanks to Biden's decision to escalate the war against Russia and Ukraine. | ||
| So what do you think is behind this? | ||
| Or what do you think people are missing? | ||
| Obviously, there's a lot of stories about this. | ||
| Probably not as many as there should be. | ||
| I mean, this really should be the top story everywhere. | ||
| You've got Vladimir Putin giving a speech where he... | ||
| I mean, he doesn't say it outright, but he more or less says, you know, the countries that are supplying these weapons are legitimate targets for nuclear weapons. | ||
| Translation, I'm going to bomb the U.S. with nuclear weapons if I have to. | ||
| I mean, the fact that the leader of Russia is saying this, this is not the top story everywhere. | ||
| It's completely insane that it's not. | ||
| But what is being reported? | ||
| Are people missing anything? | ||
| What is something that maybe you think is not getting as much attention in this conflict or in this global chess game happening right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Putin had stated that this was his, you know, his brightest red line, that the Western nations, the U.S., Britain and France, were not to authorize Ukraine to attack Russia with their long-range missiles deep inside Russian territory. | |
| That's exactly what all three of them did this past week. | ||
| And, you know, Russia responded very forcefully by launching a MERVed IRBM nuclear missile without the nuclear warheads on the city of Dnipro to destroy a Ukrainian weapons plant. | ||
| And now they're threatening to do so in Kyiv as well as U.S. Air Force bases in Poland. | ||
| Those are the next escalation steps that are likely, is, you know, Russian nuclear IRBMs raining down on Kyiv and Poland with or without the nuclear warrants. | ||
| You know, we won't know until they actually impact. | ||
| And that's a very dangerous position to be in for Ukraine in the West. | ||
| And it's something we've never seen before. | ||
| There's never been an IRBM test in a war before. | ||
| And it was interesting how in the statement from Putin he did refer to it as a test which to me means okay they were testing whether or not they could get a missile through and maybe next time you know it'll be a real it'll be a real bomb it'll be a real nuclear weapon so yeah he referred to I mean this wasn't a test and that you think of a weapons test you think of them you know bombing a glacier in Siberia just to you know test the effects but this was an active missile in an active war zone actually hitting targets and yet he calls it a test so clearly This was a test for a potential nuclear | ||
| exchange, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so he called it a test because this is a brand new Russian missile that we've never heard about before. | |
| There's no open source intel on it. | ||
| It's called the Ereshnik IRBM. Pentagon has since stated that it is a derivative of the RX-26 ICBM. So this missile has a range of up to 3,400 miles, which is basically the threshold for ICBMs. | ||
| So it would be just under that, perhaps as short range as half of that. | ||
| But it's a longer range, larger payload missile than we've ever seen. | ||
| And it seems to have at least six MRF warheads. | ||
| You know, we're told that Russian ICBMs and nuclear missiles only have, you know, three warheads each, maybe four. | ||
| RS-26 we thought had only four. | ||
| This one has six. | ||
| So if this one that's a smaller missile has six, the RS-26 likely has closer to ten. | ||
| And, you know, US intel is just notoriously bad for Underestimate the number of warheads on both Chinese and Russian nuclear missiles. | ||
| Yeah, and of course, to me, that's what makes this more dangerous than the Cold War. | ||
| The Cold War, this was like Bay of Pigs. | ||
| The president wasn't sleeping for four days as they're tearing their hair out, trying to come to a peaceable conclusion. | ||
| Whereas now, Joe Biden's wandering around the Amazon somewhere. | ||
| We don't even know where he is or who's making these decisions. | ||
| And you've got Lloyd Austin basically saying, Russia's bluffing. | ||
| We're going to call their bluff. | ||
| And you can look at Russia's cars. | ||
| They're holding a A full house. | ||
| So it's like our side doesn't even care. | ||
| And we've been sort of game planning this, almost looking at it from the Russian perspective, going, okay, what options do they have? | ||
| What would the response be if they chose to bomb Poland? | ||
| Like, you know, that would be really bad. | ||
| But from the American perspective, like, what is the goal here? | ||
| What are they pursuing? | ||
| Is anything that they're doing even, you know, is the argument even being made that it's somehow making the situation better for Ukraine and putting them in a better position to either win the war or get a settled negotiation? | ||
| Like, what is the strategy of the US right now? | ||
| I can't figure it out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think the goal appears to be starting a hot war with Russia before Trump can take office and presenting him with the worst foreign policy crisis that America has ever seen. | |
| That's how much they hate America. | ||
| That's how much they hate Trump. | ||
| That's how much they hate Ukraine. | ||
| I mean, they're willing to destroy Ukraine, have Russia nuke Ukraine, and perhaps the U.S. and Europe as well, just so they can cause trouble for the Trump administration because President Trump He has pledged to end this unnecessary war in Ukraine on day one of his presidency. | ||
| I've presented a plan whereby he can accomplish that just in a matter of days. | ||
| Yeah, and it's, you know, I keep making the argument. | ||
| I'm only half joking. | ||
| It's like, can we just inaugurate him next week? | ||
| Like, do we really have to wait to January? | ||
| Because, I mean, this time period is becoming increasingly dangerous. | ||
| And it's almost like it feels to me like we're relying on Russia to be the bigger person in this argument and not throw the first punch and just wait and be patient so we can get Trump in because it seems like everything, you know, the ground will completely shift at that point. | ||
| Do you think that's what Russia is doing? | ||
| Do you think they're capable of, like, withstanding whatever America throws at them for the next few months without responding and escalating even further? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think that's Putin's desire to do that, but, you know, to kind of wait it out and knowing that Trump is going to negotiate and enter the war on terms acceptable to Russia. | |
| But, you know, Putin can only handle so much. | ||
| Yes, he's a dictator, but he does rely on popular support of not only the Russian people, which he has by about 80%, but within his own inner circle, his own ruling elite. | ||
| And the Israeli elite has been pushing him to escalate the war, to win outright, to completely defeat the Ukrainians, whether that means a general offensive on Kyiv or northern Ukraine that would envelop Ukrainian forces and You know, | ||
| capture the capital and force Ukraine to surrender or perhaps even a nuclear demonstration strike on, you know, one kilometer above Kyiv itself with a low-yield nuclear weapon. | ||
| So, you know, he does have that pressure. | ||
| The question is, Can he withstand the potential loss of face if Biden continues to try to provoke Russia to attack the U.S. and NATO? Because I think that's really the objective. | ||
| And there's no logical, rational reason, certainly none based on national interests, that Biden would be doing this. | ||
| He's literally trying to start the world and America on fire, risk the destruction of a billion people and the entire Western world, Out of spite because he, you know, the Democrats staged a coup against him and replaced him with his vice president. | ||
| And then, you know, he lost the election or the Democrats lost the election to Trump. | ||
| You know, it's crazy to think that a world war would start over something so petty, but it's clear that that is the level that our politicians are operating on. | ||
| We covered the, you know, you've got congressmen publishing things going, "Haha, we finally got revenge for Kevin McCarthy against Matt Gaetz." And it's like, okay, you're talking about changing the course of history because your friend Kevin got embarrassed six months ago. | ||
| I mean, so it's weird how petulant these decisions can be, and they're literally leading us towards World War III. And again, that's just an example, not related. | ||
| But, you know, when you talk about these decisions being made off the basis of, you know, personal pride or something like that, I don't think that's unreasonable. | ||
| I think there's evidence that that's exactly how these decisions are being made. | ||
| Now, we've seen that the Russians updated their nuclear doctrine, basically an immediate response to the launching of the What's the significance of that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's significant because essentially with Russia's updated nuclear doctrine, we've already crossed their nuclear red line. | |
| This was their nuclear red line. | ||
| So I guess Putin updated it after the fact. | ||
| He updated it on Tuesday right before the Ukrainian strikes later that same day. | ||
| And Lloyd Austin's blowing it off. | ||
| Biden can't even answer questions. | ||
| He's too senile and brain dead to You know, to respond to questions from friendly reporters. | ||
| You know, it's obvious he's not making the decisions. | ||
| It's likely Blinken and, you know, some of the other folks in his cabinet senior level posts. | ||
| So the U.S. basically doesn't have a president, and yet the U.S. is making decisions that could cause us to sleepwalk into World War III over essentially a war that's being fought between two dictators over Ukraine's neutral status, whether it reverts to kind of a Switzerland-style neutral status that it enjoyed from 1991 to 2014 when it had very friendly relations with Russia, had complete security. | ||
| Without having to spend much on its military, it had 100% of its internationally recognized territory and was all independent and free. | ||
| And of course that all came crashing down when Victoria Nuland and others decided that It was unacceptable that Ukraine would go with the Russian trade deal rather than the EU trade deal. | ||
| And I guess at the end of the day, that's what this is all about. | ||
| Just totally crazy. | ||
| I try to think about this in historical context and what the history books are going to write about. | ||
| What was the kickoff of World War III? And you think, okay, is it really Hunter Biden's money laundering scam that drove us here? | ||
| Is that what we're fighting this over? | ||
| And it's completely insane. | ||
| I guess that that is a major question. | ||
| Now, who is making these decisions? | ||
| Do you have any idea like how these decisions are being made? | ||
| Is Biden even involved? | ||
| Are they even including him? | ||
| Isn't Anthony Blinken? | ||
| Are there other people behind him that we don't even know their names? | ||
| Is it Jake Sullivan, Lloyd Austin? | ||
| I mean, do you have any concept who is actually making the decision to start World War Three? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we used to believe on the Republican side that it was Biden's old chief of staff, who was very influential. | |
| Ron Klain, he's since left. | ||
| So it could be his chief of staff. | ||
| It's likely a secretive cabal of his senior cabinet picks in terms of Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor. | ||
| Some people are even saying it's Barack Obama who's pulling the strings. | ||
| The sad part is we actually don't know. | ||
| In a free democratic country, everyone knows who's in charge, right? | ||
| Well, for the first time ever, we have a president that's so mentally incapacitated, we just don't know. | ||
| There's no way that I can tell you without inside information that I don't have. | ||
| And as far as what started World War III, this is not a war of Russian imperialism. | ||
| This is a war in response to U.S. imperialism in terms of trying to expand our liberal empire 1,100 miles eastward from where we said it would be in the Oda River all the way to Rostov and the Don River. | ||
| So this is This is an existential war for Russia. | ||
| They see it that way. | ||
| They see it as a defensive war. | ||
| It's completely a reaction. | ||
| Every Russian aggression from 2008 onward has been a reaction to Western provocations. | ||
| And all we need to do is end the provocations and make peace with Russia, and then peace and stability will be restored, and the Russian nuclear threat will end. | ||
| It seems so simple. | ||
| When you say it, what's the issue? | ||
| What's the deal? | ||
| I'm being facetious because it really is that simple. | ||
| I mean, it really is a decision that we're making to pursue this and escalate it and do everything we possibly can to poke the bear, hoping that they, you know, slash us back. | ||
| If Putin is able to hold the line and doesn't sort of fall for the provocations, what's the likelihood of a false flag attack? | ||
| Because we know the people in power in America, they aren't necessarily going to leave it up to chance. | ||
| They aren't going to go, well, Putin sort of called our bluff, and so he wins. | ||
| I wouldn't be surprised if they launched a nuke themselves and blamed it on Russia, or I think a cyber attack is even more likely. | ||
| What do you think the likelihood of that is, or am I just a crazy conspiracy theorist here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, you know, if I believe that we were led by rational leaders, I would say there's zero chance of that because it's completely against the U.S. national security interests. | |
| It exposes the U.S. homeland to devastating, catastrophic existential attacks from Russia because Russia, of course, is the most powerful offensive cyber power in the world, even more powerful than China that has the largest cyber army. | ||
| And it has a nuclear arsenal that, according to the Ukrainians, consists of 16,000 operational nuclear weapons, of which 6,000 are strategic. | ||
| The U.S., by contrast, has no more than 2,300 operational nuclear weapons. | ||
| So we're completely overmatched by Russia. | ||
| China has likely two to three times more nukes than we do. | ||
| So, I mean, combined, you know, they may have six to ten times more operational, ready-to-fire nuclear weapons than we do. | ||
| And if there was a nuclear war, we would lose. | ||
| And that's because they've spent decades preparing to fight and win a nuclear war against the U.S. They have deep underground nuclear command centers and blast shelters. | ||
| They have, you know, missile defense systems that are extensive, thousands of ABMs each, USS-44 ABMs, which is 225 times less than Russia. | ||
| We have no defense against super EMP attack because our leaders have agreed on funding the hardening of our electrical power grid, as has been done in Russia, China, and North Korea. | ||
| I like to use the comparison that when you live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw rocks lest your enemies throw rocks back and shatter your house. | ||
| And that's exactly the position we're in right now. | ||
| Yeah, and of course, if people want to know more about the EMP aspect of that, you've got to just go to ban.video, go to the American Journal channel, and search David Pine's name, because we've done extensive conversations about that, and it's very concerning, the lack of concern that the American leadership has about hardening our system against that type of attack. | ||
| Europe seems to be preparing for war. | ||
| I mean, we showed a clip earlier of a general in the UK army saying, make no doubt about it, we will be in Eastern Europe fighting if we need to, you know, at a moment's notice. | ||
| You now have the Northern Group Ukraine Alliance formed, Nordic Group Ukraine Alliance has emerged, which will include countries of Scandinavia, Baltic states, and Northern Europe. | ||
| And I've been hearing from lots of people that, you know, Finland, all the Nordic countries are on very high alert with their reserves being called in. | ||
| They seem to be gearing up for war. | ||
| I mean, is this all posturing, do you think? | ||
| Or is Europe really gearing up to go with Russia in a ground war? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think they sense the rising, you know, likelihood of a world war with Russia. | |
| And the The ironic part is NATO was created to prevent exactly this. | ||
| They were created to deter war with Russia. | ||
| And instead of deterring war with Russia, just as I predicted back in 2019, we're actually provoking war with Russia. | ||
| So the entire Russian threat would not exist without All of these NATO provocations that began in 2008 but really kicked into high gear in 2014 with the Euromaidan coup in which, you know, Biden authorized the overthrow of Ukraine's democratically elected president. | ||
| And every single one of these European leaders, NATO leaders, with a few exceptions like Orban in Hungary and Turkey and Slovakia, they're acting against their own national interests. | ||
| When Trump talked about ending the war as quickly as possible, apparently we heard European leaders We're reportedly aghast. | ||
| They don't want peace. | ||
| They don't want a restoration of peace and stability. | ||
| They don't want security for their own nations. | ||
| They want to... | ||
| Provoke a world war with Russia that would go to the cyber level on day one and might escalate to the nuclear level. | ||
| Everyone talks about how Russia is led by an irrational dictator, a power-mad dictator, a bloodthirsty dictator. | ||
| None of those things are true. | ||
| I mean, I listened to Vladimir Putin's speeches, and he's really just the most rational, level-headed, cool dictator. | ||
| Not dictator, but leader, much more rational than any Western leader. | ||
| And, you know, I would joke, I don't mean this, but I wish our leaders were just as rational as he was. | ||
| I don't wish they were like him, but I wish they were as rational as he was, because I think the U.S. would be far safer and more secure if we had a leader like that, and we will, and President Trump, you know, who supports freedom and liberty. | ||
| And, you know, would implement a policy of peace through strength. | ||
| And seems to not actively be destroying his country. | ||
| We had a story yesterday. | ||
| You know, once the leader in industry, Germany is now dead last. | ||
| You know, they're falling behind massively. | ||
| And it's like, yeah, because of the Ukraine war, because the energy restrictions and the sanctions, because of the Green New Deal type activity where they're shutting down their nuclear power plants, like very deliberately, they're destroying their own countries. | ||
| And it's It's madness if you don't understand the greater scheme of the global government that they're trying to implement. | ||
| We've got a minute left with you, and again, I encourage people to go follow David Pine at AmericaFirstCon on X, the website emptaskforce.us, and his substack, dpine.substack.com. | ||
| That's Pine spelled with a Y. In the last minute here, what if you were Russia, or just putting on the Russia cap here for a minute, if they do launch a nuke, where would you expect them to fall first? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I've been stating since April of 2022 that, you know, Putin could end this war in a hot minute by launching a nuclear demonstration attack against Kyiv. | |
| And, you know, if I were a Russian advisor, I'd recommend he use a one kiloton nuclear weapon, exploded about a kilometer above Kyiv. | ||
| That, you know, that wouldn't kill anyone with direct effects, but it would injure thousands. | ||
| And it would, I think it would put the fear of God in Zelensky and Joe Biden. | ||
| That, you know, Putin is willing to escalate the nuclear, you know, non-strategic nuclear level and beyond because this is an existential war for Russia. | ||
| And that would essentially pressure both Zelensky and especially Biden to not only de-escalate but essentially capitulate to Russia on Russian terms. | ||
| Well, and that does what it seems like an aspect of why they did the IC or I... The big missile attack recently sort of go, you know, we could be doing this at any point, and we're choosing not to. | ||
| Very, very disturbing stuff. | ||
| Thank you so much for your insights. | ||
| David Pine, thank you for being with us, sir. | ||
| Hey folks, welcome back. | ||
| Final segment on this Friday broadcast. | ||
| I will be doing a Moonbase live broadcast tonight on Rumble. | ||
| rumble.com slash c slash moonbase live. | ||
| You can go to moonbase.show. | ||
| I'll be doing a weekly roundup, a weekly review. | ||
| Every day we try to update you on these stories, but I really feel like it's valuable to look back and go, okay, this week, here's how this went down, right? | ||
| First they said Ukraine can use long-range missiles, then Russia updated their nuclear doctrine, then we used long-range missiles, then there was, you know, you get a timeline... | ||
| Layout of how we got here. | ||
| So I'm excited to go back over and just sort of reiterate some of these stories and get the full picture of them, but also talk about some stuff that I haven't covered as much on the show. | ||
| So I do hope you join me there. | ||
| Follow me on X at Harrison H. Smith and subscribe to the Rumble channel, Moonbase Live. | ||
| And I'll be there tonight around 8 p.m. | ||
| Central Time. | ||
| Now, in the last few minutes, a couple things have broken. | ||
| One, Trump's sentencing in the New York State case against him with Judge Mirchan. | ||
| His sentencing has been canceled indefinitely. | ||
| Canceled indefinitely. | ||
| So that is just the latest. | ||
| And essentially now, I think at this point, every single criminal proceeding against Trump And I mean that in both terms, right? | ||
| The proceedings trying to claim him as a criminal and the proceedings themselves are criminal, as they are politically motivated and totally irrational. | ||
| I think they're all done now. | ||
| I think that's it. | ||
| I think they're all closed and will proceed no further. | ||
| Meanwhile, you have this story from The Economist. | ||
| Why British MPs should vote for assisted dying. | ||
| A long-awaited liberal form is in jeopardy. | ||
| It's in jeopardy, you guys. | ||
| Those damn right-wingers trying to stop us from killing the mentally ill. | ||
| How dare they? | ||
| How dare they? | ||
| This newspaper believes in the liberal principle that people should have the right to choose the manner of their own deaths. | ||
| They want assisted dying. | ||
| And it could happen like Canada where you institute assistant dying and suddenly becomes the preferred method of dealing with literally anything. | ||
| Too poor? | ||
| Get on the table. | ||
| Got it. | ||
| You broke your ankle? | ||
| Well, guess what we have to offer? | ||
| Endless sleep. | ||
| It's crazy, but that's the case. | ||
| And I was kind of confused at this. | ||
| I should have saved the tweet. | ||
| The tweet from The Economist, like, it, like, contradicts itself. | ||
| Here it is from The Economist. | ||
| People should have the right to choose the manner of their death. | ||
| Britain's parliament must not squander a rare chance to enrich fundamental liberties by voting against a law allowing assisted dying. | ||
| I was kind of confused by this because people have the right to choose their own manner of death. | ||
| That seems like they're saying they want medically assisted suicide. | ||
| They say they must not squander a rare chance to enrich fundamental liberties by voting against. | ||
| So they're saying voting against it would squander a rare chance to enrich. | ||
| So this is a fundamental liberty that's being enriched. | ||
| It's a rare chance to enrich our liberal values. | ||
| Policies by letting depressed people off themselves at the age of 18. Crazy, totally crazy, but what do you expect? | ||
| What do you expect? | ||
| It's the same people that are flooding these countries with tens of millions of people while calling it a population crisis. | ||
| It's a cult of death. | ||
| A technological death cult that is on the march. | ||
| And it's very, very disturbing. | ||
| Speaking of Britain, and we'll be getting into this on Moonbase tonight because I don't quite have time to get into it today. | ||
| The British government yesterday, Keir Starmer, Prime Minister, met with the leaders of BlackRock to talk about buying up all of the farmland that they're expropriating from the farmers through a crushing inheritance tax. | ||
| So we'll get into that, and we're going to do a big look at all the farming protests and all the various ways that they're being justified. | ||
| I actually went through yesterday and just did a brief little survey of all the different countries, and it's more than I even remembered, and the reasons why they're attacking the farmers are even more varied than I remember. | ||
| And what you end up at the end of it, as you look through all of these and read all of the excuses that they're using, in Poland it's In Poland, it had to do with, you know, farmers were protesting because of the Ukraine shipments. | ||
| Like, either they're justifying it on the Ukraine war or inheritance tax or nitrogen or carbon monoxide or cow burps. | ||
| I mean, it's just whatever excuse they need, what you come away with at the end of it is the understanding that they are doing everything they can in every possible vector to destroy the ability of Europe to feed itself. | ||
| at all and it's just very clear very obvious especially in this for the fact that BlackRock is making agreements to buy up the land specifically to house new populations that they themselves are importing into these countries it is just a complete despotic takeover and it's crazy how it's happening right in front of us we'll get into that more but I do want to spend some time today talking about Daniel Penny as I feel like it is representative Of | ||
| the real, you know, cancer in our society destroying us from the inside out. | ||
| I feel like this is a case that should, by all rights, be historic. | ||
| Like, what's happening right now to Daniel Penney should not just horrify everybody at just the blatant misapplication of the justice system in this country. | ||
| The racialized aspect of it, the hatred for white men on display very openly, even to just the way the people in the trial talked about the two people involved, where you had one witness. | ||
| It was a Guatemalan woman who Daniel Penny had saved from being attacked. | ||
| She was one of the women on the subway that saw Jordan Neely The insane homeless guy, you know, running around ranting, saying he's going to kill everybody and he's not afraid to go to jail for the rest of his life. | ||
| She sees this. | ||
| She sees Daniel Penny take him down. | ||
| Then she testifies and she, you know, always refers to Mr. Neely and the white man. | ||
| She wouldn't even use Daniel Penny's name. | ||
| So it's just, it's very illustrative of both the overt and subtle just discrimination that white men are facing in the justice system these days. | ||
| But it gets crazy. | ||
| I mean, this is like George Floyd times two in that the cause of death was very, very clearly chosen and You know, claimed to be the strangling death of Jordan Neely because of the political implications. | ||
| In the same way that the FBI pressured the medical examiner to downplay the presence of a deadly amount of fentanyl in George Floyd's system, pretty much exactly the same thing happened in the Jordan Neely case, only to an even greater degree. | ||
| So I got some videos to go here and show you. | ||
| Maybe we'll start with the interrogation since it again reveals just how like, I don't know how to put this in words, like how people in the country, people in this country have not caught up to like how far gone we are at this point. | ||
| Because you have to understand, Daniel Penny didn't know he was being interrogated. | ||
| At the point the interrogation happened, he didn't know Neely had died. | ||
| So what he thought happened was that there's this crazy guy threatening people on the subway. | ||
| He stepped in, subdued the guy, held him down until the police could arrive. | ||
| Handed him off to police. | ||
| He was still alive when he handed him off to police. | ||
| Then he's called in to give a statement. | ||
| He thinks he's going in there as a hero. | ||
| He thinks he's going in to be like, let me tell you about how I stepped in and very peacefully subdued this guy and stopped any trouble from happening. | ||
| No idea that the man had died and they were setting him up for a manslaughter charge and were duping him into... | ||
| You know, convicting himself by talking to him about it. | ||
| And there's a lot of people online saying, you know, well, this is, you know, this is why you always get a lawyer. | ||
| It's his fault for talking to them. | ||
| To one part, I agree, and this is kind of what I mean by people not catching up to how bad our system is now. | ||
| You wouldn't expect to have to defend yourself against the police if you're the hero in the situation. | ||
| Just like if, you know, there was a car accident and you run over and you smash the window and pull the kid out of the flaming car before he gets hurt and the police want to come talk to you about it. | ||
| You would never expect that, like, you're going to be blamed for the car crash and arrested. | ||
| You would just happily go, here's what I did. | ||
| Here's how I saved the kid. | ||
| You're welcome. | ||
| Only to then be put in handcuffs, thrown in jail, and on trial for your life. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| It is crazy that this is happening. | ||
| So it's different than most situations. | ||
| There's always a balance because, say your kid goes missing and the police want to talk to you. | ||
| Well, if it's your kid, you're probably the number one suspect. | ||
| So you should know that and be careful about that. | ||
| Because even if you didn't do anything to your kid, if something happened and they think it was you, they'll take your statements out of context and use them against you. | ||
| That is what the Miranda rights are for. | ||
| But the police are trained very, very deliberately to, like, downplay the Miranda rights. | ||
| And I'm sure when Daniel Penny went in for his interrogation, it was just like, all right, you know, before we get started, I gotta run through this real quick. | ||
| It's just, you know, you have a right to remain silent. | ||
| Anything you say you can will be used against you in court. | ||
| And Daniel Penny's sitting there going, I didn't do anything. | ||
| You know, I didn't do anything wrong. | ||
| I'm a hero. | ||
| I'm the new subway hero. | ||
| I, you know, subdued peacefully this violent guy. | ||
| Probably didn't even think about it. | ||
| So... | ||
| It's like, I don't know. | ||
| At a certain point, it's like, so you should just never talk to the police ever? | ||
| I guess that is the right way to do it. | ||
| But again, I just feel like there's almost just like this innocence of Daniel Penny being like, I'm a good guy that saved everybody, and now the police want to congratulate me. | ||
| Meanwhile, the police are just like, you're going to jail for life, buddy. | ||
| Every word you say is another nail in your coffin. | ||
| It's sick. | ||
| It's really very sick the way the society is twisted. | ||
| And what's especially sick about it is that Daniel Penney might be under the impression that, like, even if he got up and stabbed the guy, he wouldn't be arrested because that's the way New York is these days. | ||
| And here's a good sort of summation of, like, how messed up this whole situation is from end wokeness. | ||
| Daniel Penney put a homeless felon in a chokehold to stop him from attacking passengers. | ||
| His bail was set at $200,000. | ||
| He's an ex-Marine. | ||
| He's never been in trouble with the law in his life. | ||
| He's rescued everybody. | ||
| He was arrested and his bail was set at $200,000. | ||
| Mohamed Ezedin raped a woman at knife point after breaking into her home and he was released without bail. | ||
| So. | ||
| So this is clear, obvious, deliberate. | ||
| Racial discrimination. | ||
| There's no other possibility here, especially when you understand that there was a black guy that assisted Daniel Penny in subduing Jordan Neely, was right there on the ground with the guy holding him down just like Daniel Penny was holding down. | ||
| That guy got total immunity, was never arrested, and then testified against Daniel Penny because he's black. | ||
| He's black, so even though he participated just as much as Daniel Penny, He wasn't even arrested, let alone on trial for his life. | ||
| He got total immunity because he's black. | ||
| Let's go to the interrogation footage now. | ||
| This is a little two-minute segment, clip eight. | ||
| Interrogation footage released of Daniel Penny explaining how he defended subway passengers from Jordan Neely. | ||
| Let's watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So he's standing behind me, and I kind of came like this. | |
| Showing how he did the chokehold? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I just wanted to keep him from getting to people. | |
| On day seven of the high-profile subway chokehold trial in Lower Manhattan, jurors were shown a half-hour-long videotaped interrogation and heard former Marine Daniel Penny recall in his own words what happened. | ||
| While speaking with detectives, Penny demonstrated the chokehold he used on Jordan Neely, appearing unaware that Neely died shortly afterwards. | ||
| I'm not trying to, like, I'm not trying to, like, kill the guy. | ||
| Penny told the pair of detectives he was on his way to the gym after leaving class at City Tech from the J Street Metro Tech Station in Brooklyn. | ||
| At the 2nd Avenue stop, he said Neely got on, started to yell, and threaten passengers. | ||
| Some guy came in, he's like, whipped his jacket off, and he's like, I'm gonna kill everybody. | ||
| Several witnesses took the stand, including NYPD Detective Brian McCarthy, who interviewed Penny. | ||
| McCarthy testified he didn't tell Penny that Neely had died during that 5th Precinct interrogation. | ||
| And when Penny was questioned about why he decided to get involved in the first place, he said... | ||
| I'm not a confrontational guy. | ||
| In the Marine Corps, I felt the need to, you know, step in. | ||
| There's women and children on the train. | ||
| Did you feel like someone's life was in danger? | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Another key witness also testified, a Marine who trained Daniel Penny. | ||
| The combat instructor said if done right, the chokehold should knock out a person without killing them. | ||
| But if held too long, the technique could end a person's life in a matter of minutes. | ||
| Once the person is rendered unconscious, that's when you're supposed to let go, he told the jury. | ||
| And Cynthia Harris, a city medical examiner, took the stand late yesterday telling jurors that Neely's cause of death was compression of the neck, consistent with the use of a chokehold. | ||
| So, again, just just. | ||
| You know, it's almost like a... | ||
| It's almost like a sci-fi movie. | ||
| It's like The Matrix or something. | ||
| It's like you go in thinking one thing, not realizing that your whole world is out to get you. | ||
| Like, it's crazy. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| New York Post... | ||
| Reports witness in Daniel Penny trial lied about his involvement and proves no good deed goes unpunished. | ||
| Since the Daniel Penny trial kicked off, witness after witness has described the abject terror they felt while riding the Uptown F train as unhinged homeless man Jordan Neely entered the car snarling and threatening strap hangers. | ||
| One teen testified she was so frightened she thought she would pass out. | ||
| An older woman was scared blankless. | ||
| A 29-year-old man said he was pretty terrified. | ||
| All testified they'd never before experienced that type of acute panic while riding the train. | ||
| But on Tuesday, one was visibly petrified to be in the courtroom with protesters outside and multiple Neely supporters inside. | ||
| Scared to be on the stand to be a party to a potential acquittal of Penny and what that would mean for the witness's personal safety. | ||
| And it was for fear of losing his freedom, Eric Gonzalez said, that made him initially fabricate parts of his story to the investigators. | ||
| Gonzalez, 39, was the man in the black cap seen in the now familiar footage from March 21st, 2023, helping to restrain Neely's flailing arms as Penny held him in a chokehold that killed him. | ||
| Potentially. | ||
| Allegedly. | ||
| The Bronx resident testified that he arrived at the Broadway Lafayette subway station as the train was being held, and he stumbled upon the physical struggle unfolding on the dirty subway floor. | ||
| Everyone was frantic and saying, call the cops, so I assumed one was trying to restrain the other until the cops came. | ||
| Gonzalez told the jury he jumped on and tried to help. | ||
| But after learning that Neely had died and Penny had been arrested, Gonzalez was so spooked that he was going to be pinned for a murder charge that he took all of his vacation from work and went into hiding. | ||
| And when he initially spoke to Manhattan District Attorney's Office, he now admits he fabricated parts of his story. | ||
| Two weeks ago, Gonzalez was given immunity to testify. | ||
| Yes, he admitted to lying about being at the scene much earlier and then Neely hit him, prompting Penny to swing into action. | ||
| All that to save his own hide. | ||
| The admission took a wrecking ball to his credibility as a witness, but didn't make Gonzalez an unsympathetic figure. | ||
| His efforts to assist Penny, including struggling with Neely, taking the man's pulse and rolling him onto his side in a recovery position, were captured on video and examined frame by frame. | ||
| The footage proved that both he and Penny were ensnared in the old adage, no good deed goes unpunished. | ||
| Despite his deal with the prosecutor, Gonzalez was still worried what would happen if his testimony were to help Penny go free. | ||
| You're scared of people that are looking for a prosecution on my client, asked Penny's defense lawyer, Stephen Razor. | ||
| Yes, Gonzalez said. | ||
| Razor added, you're afraid that if you testify in a way that is helpful to my client, Daniel Penny, you may suffer repercussions. | ||
| Correct? | ||
| And that was answered in the affirmative. | ||
| So... | ||
| You actually have people who were there who know that what Daniel Penny did was not murder the guy, want to testify on his behalf, but are scared that if they let a white man get away with murdering a black man, they themselves will be murdered or suffer some punishment by the rabid fanatics and anti-white, hateful racists of the black community. | ||
| Crazy, but that's the case. | ||
| Here's where it gets really insane. | ||
| The pathologist, the person who performed the autopsy, claimed, you know, without caveat, that it was the chokehold that killed Jordan Neely. | ||
| Now, Daniel Penny provided an expert. | ||
| His legal team put forth an expert, a forensic pathologist. | ||
| That said the chokehold did not cause the death. | ||
| Dr. Satish Chundru testified. | ||
| Daniel Penny, 26, faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the top charges he faces, manslaughter for the death of 30-year-old Neely. | ||
| Chundru, the pathologist, said he found the cause of death to be the combined effects of sickle cell crisis, schizophrenia, the struggle and the restraint, and the synthetic marijuana. | ||
| He said even without the chokehold, the You know, condition that Neely was in, he could have died without it, and without all the other contributing factors, the chokehold would have never led to death. | ||
| Part of that is the sickle cell, which makes the asphyxiation death more likely. | ||
| Additionally, Neely had K2, a form of synthetic marijuana that experts testified is more like cocaine in his taxology report. | ||
| Chandru said that the asphyxiation death comes in two phases. | ||
| First, the individual loses consciousness, and the second, sustained pressure leads to death. | ||
| What's important is unconsciousness always precedes death in a chokehold. | ||
| However, rendering someone unconscious does not mean they're always going to die. | ||
| When they're let go, they typically wake back up. | ||
| In a sickle cell crisis, however, death is lack of oxygen. | ||
| So the same thing in an asphyxia death. | ||
| So again, just saying that... | ||
| From what he saw, that chokehold was not something that would kill a normal, healthy person. | ||
| At all. | ||
| But that contradicts the official autopsy report, but there's a little caveat to that. | ||
| And we'll go now to clip number three. | ||
| This is a local news report featuring the person who performed the autopsy and the testimony that she gave at the trial. | ||
| And she admits in a... | ||
| In a bizarre way, and you almost miss it if you just watch this local news report alone, you kind of miss what she really said. | ||
| So let's watch it, and we'll explain what she's admitting to here. | ||
| Audio. | ||

Dr. Cynthia Harris ruled Jordan Neely's cause of death compression of the neck or asphyxia. | |
| Prosecutors say Daniel Penny had Neely in a chokehold for nearly six minutes. | ||
| In a voluntary police station house interview, Penny demonstrated. | ||
| I kind of came like this. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Did you apply pressure to him? | ||
| No, I just wanted to keep him from getting to people. | ||
| After Penny let go of Neely, several witnesses, including responding officers, testified Neely Dr. Harris says that's not surprising. | ||
| This is an asphyxial death. | ||
| The brain dies first. | ||
| Neely had sickle cell trait. | ||
| She testified it's normally benign, an asymptomatic condition, but his spleen and red blood cells were sickled. | ||
| In her medical opinion, she testified, I don't know if you caught that. | ||
| But she originally did the autopsy just looking at the body and said, I can't come to a conclusion about how this person died. | ||
| Then she saw the video, was emotionally affected by it, and said, yeah, it was Daniel Penny and the chokehold that killed him. | ||
| So to me, that means that that's not a legitimate finding from an autopsy. | ||
| That's something that has been affected by the emotions and the cultural and political Impetus of the day. | ||
| In the same way that the guy, you know, potentially on trial with Penny, who was given immunity, didn't want to testify positively for Daniel Penny because of the retribution he would receive. | ||
| I'm sure the same pressures were on the mind of the person who performed the autopsy. | ||
| So admits that she changed her mind once she saw the video, despite the fact that she couldn't come to a conclusion before then based off the actual physical evidence of the body. | ||
| And it was mentioned there, and we have the video of it. | ||
| Neely was alive with a pulse when the police took over Care and Daniel Penny let go and walked away. | ||
| Which is just completely insane. | ||
| Especially at a time when you have things like an illegal Venezuelan migrant in New York who has been arrested six times in something like three months and released again and released again and released again. | ||
| Samosa is this guy who broke in and Assaulted the assistant DA. Samosa has been arrested six times in the last five months for similar offenses. | ||
| Authorities believe he arrived in the U.S. in February 2023. Six times in five months this guy gets arrested and he gets let out. | ||
| Daniel Penny, the former Marine, with a crystal clear gun. | ||
| Arrest record, subdues a homeless man, and is brought up on manslaughter charges. | ||
| I think it might have something to do with this, clip number 16. It's the mayor of New York City, Mayor Adams. | ||
| One of our own is dead. | ||
| One of our own is dead, he says. | ||
| Black man, black like me. | ||
| A man named Jordan. | ||
| The name I gave my son. | ||
| A New Yorker who struggled with tragedy, trauma, and mental illness. | ||
| A man whose last words were a cry for help. | ||
| I'm pretty sure his last words were, I'm not afraid to go to jail, I want to kill people. | ||
| Yeah, this psychopath that was threatening women and children on the subway and got subdued. | ||
| But he's black. | ||
| So it's not about Daniel Penny doing anything wrong. | ||
| It's about the black man getting revenge on the white man. | ||
| It's horrifying when we live in a country like this. | ||
