Need to Know News TEXAS TUESDAY (17 May 2022) with Joe Olson and Brian Davidson
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer in Madison, Wisconsin, and we're once again delighted to have Brian Davidson joining us for a Texas Tuesday with Joe Olson, who's our regular right here on Need to Know.
We want to present to you all the latest information we begin with.
Mitch McConnell, claiming Sweden and Finland would be important additions to NATO.
This, to me, is profoundly disturbing.
Shakes my faith in Mitch McConnell, though those who believe he's nothing but a spokesman for the military-industrial complex will no doubt feel reassured.
This looks exactly right, what someone representing the deep state would do.
They will be important additions to NATO if they choose to join.
My understanding, however, is that the President of Turkey is opposed, and it will not happen unless all NATO nations welcome them.
McConnell was in Sweden meeting diplomats from the 30 NATO members.
Remember, when the dissolution of the Soviet Union took place, there were only 14.
The other 16 have come by encroaching to the east by violating the most solemn agreements made between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, that the east would not encroach a single inch.
NATO member Turkey is not favorable toward the additions I mentioned.
Complicating the move, yeah.
Not just complicating the move, but essentially vetoing it.
McConnell said it's in America's interest to support Ukraine, brushing aside criticism from fellow Republicans, including Donald Trump, about the level of spanding.
The claim here is it's a re-emergence of an isolationist America First policy by a faction of the Republican Party, but Donald Trump was not an isolationist.
Donald Trump was a non-interventionist.
There's no need to go out and get actively involved in messing around with other countries unless it's a necessity on behalf of the interests of America.
Meanwhile, Paul Craig Roberts explains the Kremlin never learns.
The weak response to provocation continues to encourage the West to bring Russia more dangerous provocation.
It's irresponsible for Washington and NATO to provoke Russia, but they think Russia is weak.
They dismiss Russian threats as bluster.
They now move from provocation to aggression.
Joining NATO means Finland would be nuclear targeted.
Currently, the country is not.
It's obvious.
Finland's security deteriorates if Finland joins NATO.
to St. Petersburg joining NATO, but if Turkey has its way, it will not happen.
Joining NATO means Finland would be nuclear targeted.
Currently, the country is not.
It's obvious Finland's security deteriorates if Finland joins NATO, so why join?
The most obvious answer is that Washington has paid the Finnish leaders to add to the pressure on the Kremlin by joining NATO.
I have good reason to believe this, says Paul Craig Roberts.
Years ago, I was at the Pentagon with a very high official being offered an important appointment.
I used the opportunity to ask a question that puzzled me.
How does Washington manage to get foreign governments to support Washington's interests at the expense of their own?
Money, the high Pentagon official said.
You mean foreign aid?
No, he said.
We give the political leaders bags full of money.
We own them.
They report to us.
How disgusting is that?
But what else could explain Finland and Sweden's interest after so many years of neutrality?
Neither country is in danger of attack from Russia.
How many dollars did it require for them to sell out their country?
It goes further than Finland and Sweden.
If these bought-and-paid-for governments join NATO, they've also sold out the entire Western world.
That should make it clear even to Russian liberals who handicap Russia's existence as a sovereign state that the West intends to do what the American neoconservatives declared to be to prevent the emergence of a rival with sufficient power to constrain United States hegemony.
Why, after three decades of this doctrine being declared, does the Cameron still fail to understand?
Even the liberals there should comprehend the Western world is a permanent enemy more dangerous than the Third Reich.
The Russian government is very strange.
For years, tolerating oligarchs from the Yeltsin era stole Russian assets.
Today, they continue to provide their deadly enemies with energy and strategic minerals so they can conduct war against Russia.
The director of the Russian Central Bank left the bank's reserves on an unguarded shelf where the West could steal them.
Putin still has office, some who set up the oligarch system that tied Russia in a subservient way to Western financial capital.
The Kremlin cuts its own throat to prove how democratic it is.
Little wonder Russian government failed to convince the West provoking Russia means death and destruction.
The strategic failure of the Kremlin means the even worsening provocation are destined to push Russia's back to the wall.
At that point, the nukes will go off.
The utter and total stupidity of the human race makes one wonder why God gave dominion over the earth to mankind, the least intelligent of the species.
I think he's got a point.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, well overnight the 82-day siege of the Arovstal Steel Plant in Mariupol was ended.
The puppet president of Ukraine told his troops that they've completed their mission and that they no longer need to continue fighting, which is convenient because there's about 300 of them that are medical patients at this point and another couple of hundred that were able to walk out on their own.
So that happened overnight.
Reporting on that by E. Earl Gray, or I. Earl Gray, and in all of the broadcasts that he was able to find, all of the Mockingbird Media description of what happened, not one of them said the troops in Mariupol surrendered.
They all either were rescued by Elinsky, No Z allowed.
Or they were evacuated.
But they were evacuated to Russian prisoner of war camps and Russian hospitals.
So they're not going to be returning to Ukraine anytime soon.
And what he's saying is he's hoping to arrange a prisoner swap.
I'm thinking that Putin's going to say, you know, you want to swap prisoners?
You've got some people that committed war crimes against our POWs in your hands.
If you want to swap prisoners, we want to swap prisoners, and we want to have those individuals arrested and delivered to us so we can prosecute them for the war crimes that they've committed repeatedly on Russian troops and Russian citizens.
Absolutely disgusting.
And then the next thing is, There's a report now that Russia's wheat crop is over 89 million tons, and it's a record for that.
Their total grain crop is also a record, and that Brazil has a record corn crop, so apparently starving us to death this year is not going to work out quite like they thought, especially if Russia has some Oh Joe, I'm overjoyed to hear this.
Brian, your thoughts?
Well, how Mitch McConnell manages to stay in office eludes me.
He hasn't done anything for us as the Republicans as a minority leader.
I just, I don't understand.
He's looking more and more like a neocon every day.
I never felt like he was on the team.
With the real conservatives.
I always felt like he was playing the middle of the road just a politician and just a politician might as well be a worm.
So when it comes to McConnell.
I couldn't care less what the guy says or does.
I don't feel he represents me as a citizen, and I don't think he'll ever represent me as a voter.
As for Paul Craig Roberts, I've had a tremendous amount of respect for the man for years.
I've been watching his posts since probably 2015, 2016.
He was a chief economist under Reagan.
And I don't think there's anybody out there that really understands international geopolitics and international relations, especially about something like this, more than Paul Craig Roberts.
And if he says that there are red flags associated with Finland joining NATO, then I would tend to believe it.
It's very hard to stay on top of all this international NATO stuff for the average citizen.
You probably got to watch some special news channels and really follow special papers, but you can always get a good synopsis from Paul Craig Roberts.
Yes, I do agree, Brian.
I admire the man tremendously, too.
Meanwhile, and this is astonishing, U.S.
Admiral, this is a four-star admiral, a tactical nuke specialist captured by Russia, and last of all, this is stunning.
U.S.
Admiral Eric Olson, highly decorated special ops, born in Tacoma, captured.
Now so nice, Admiral Olson didn't get himself blown to smithereens.
Now we can see the rat face of America's dirty proxy war with Russia.
Not only have we been staffing and training the Army, we've been providing direct command and control.
A four-star general being there is dumbfounding.
Absolutely dumbfounding.
Russia's have been turning the heat on the catacombs of Azebal and Mariupol with incendiary bombs to despoil any ability to wage a dirty war with chemicals.
Guess who they smoked out?
Admiral Eric Olsen, retired four-star Navy SEAL general, highly decorated.
He has to have been there to direct the military operation.
There's no other explanation possible.
Meanwhile, they're trying to play up on the idea of white supremacy by claiming Russia could strike back by calling on its network of white supremacist groups to commit terror attacks.
Who ever heard of white supremacist Russian groups in the United States, for example?
This is idiotic.
Experts, experts, are increasingly concerned that as Russia's invasion stalls, and it's not stalling at all, it's actually moving forward methodically.
The Kremlin could choose to retaliate, not just through economic and diplomatic means, but also by inciting violence.
The tool is a network of neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in Russia, Western Europe, and the U.S., with which it has cultivated ties for decades.
Think about it.
The Nazis try to destroy Russia.
Russia lost 20,000, 20 million, 20 million Russians to the Nazis.
The Russians despise the Nazis.
The Russians are going into Ukraine to get rid of the Nazis, to denazify Ukraine.
And this moronic piece is telling us that the Russians are going to activate their network of neo-Nazis and white supremacists?
This is absolutely incredible.
Russia's embassies in Washington and London did not reply to a request for comment, no doubt because it was so moronic.
The Kremlin has sought to portray its Ukraine invasion as a bid to denazify the country, which it is, and say its forces are fighting alongside groups who openly espouse neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideology.
That's just bullshit.
Embarrassing.
They could offer the Kremlin a potential route for inflicting violence and chaos in the West.
I don't think anything is beyond the pale for Putin, claims one.
Such a source is supposed to be the Wagner Group, a mercenary force previously deployed as a Kremlin proxy in conflicts in Syria, Libya, and Mali.
It's fighters that have been linked with a string of atrocities in Ukraine, such as the massacre of civilians in Bukha, which we know was done by the Azov Battalion.
The Russians were there supporting the people, giving them food, giving them support.
It was only after the Russians withdrew and the Ukrainians, this nasty neo-Nazi outfit came in, they began butchering anyone who was not sufficiently supportive of Ukraine.
They make no secret of their espousal of a Nazi ideology, yes, but that's got nothing to do with Russia.
Colin Clark, a director of research at the Soufan Group, told Insider the Kremlin could deploy fighters from Wagner to commit terror attacks.
The Russians send their own guys into Europe to whack people.
I don't think anything beyond the pale for Bute.
But Jason Blackett, an expert on terrorism at the Middlebury Institute, was skeptical that Russia would deploy fighters to commit direct attacks, saying it would mark a serious escalation in Russia's confrontation with NATO allies.
I'll just tell you, you got a four-star admiral in the Azov.
That's dirty by the United States.
The Russians are clean by comparison.
We are the rats.
The Russians, I think, are heroic.
Joke.
Yeah, well, if you got a big military-industrial complex that's got to sell overpriced weapons in a world that really doesn't need to have any further conflicts, you need to have a boogie bear.
And so in 2016, the boogie bear was Mother Russia, who was able to have a Russian language post on Facebook that had less than 5,000 views, yet Russia's the one that overturned the election and stole it from Reptillery, which is absolutely hilarious.
And then we also have news footage of McCain and Lindsey Graham in 2016 in Ukraine, stating repeatedly that they were going to arm Ukraine so that Ukraine could attack Russia.
I mean, this has been in the planning for decades.
Number one.
And number two, it's been all the dominoes have been stage set and now things aren't going exactly the way they wanted, even though Russian losses are higher than than Russia had anticipated.
They are strategically winning this thing.
And the fact that As of Stahl fell is going to provide even further evidence because there's also been reports that they captured a lieutenant colonel in the U.S.
Army trying to escape through a sewer and they captured a Canadian lieutenant colonel.
Both of those about two weeks ago.
So they've got these people in a position where they can sing like canaries and other reports were that there were at least 50 French officers and foreign legion Officers that were there as part of the French delegation, and that's why Macron's so upset.
So I'm expecting there's going to be some enormous amount of protest by the people of Finland and Sweden once it becomes more obvious that they're trying to be led into this same little cabal of weapons peddlers.
And Ergodyne has already said that he's going to oppose them.
So that means it couldn't possibly, even under the fastest track, happen before August of this year.
So there's plenty of time to mount opposition.
But in the meantime, they're going to try to push through a WHO World Health thing that says that the director of WHO has the ability to shut down any country and direct any health measures worldwide without any input from the local government.
So we've got that little threat factor going, too, while everybody's preoccupied.
And the director, who has a history as a terrorist in his native country, It's outrageous.
This guy's in that position.
No, Turkey, it has to be unanimous for a new nation to join NATO.
And as long as Turkey opposes, it will not happen.
That could lead to the separation of Turkey, which might lead to the unraveling of NATO, by the way, as the alternative.
But otherwise, I do not foresee Sweden and Finland joining the alliance.
Brian, your thoughts?
Well, the whole Ukraine-Russia mess is obviously the neocons and the mercenaries trying to cash out.
General Olsen was obviously caught in Ukraine, probably leading a pack of mercenaries as a retired four-star U.S.
general.
If the Russians got him, let's see how much he's going to be talking about who's going to be winning.
It's clear to me that everything that the media comes out with and all the propaganda that has come out is pretty much just take the opposite of it and move the other direction.
The idea that the Russians are the neo-Nazis and the Ukrainians are the good guys protecting their home territory.
I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder, but I find it rather ridiculous, just as you do, Jim, that this whole thing is some sort of neo-Nazi organization.
Obviously, humankind has been using the word Nazi to describe the bad guys since 1944, and it's going to continue to be that way.
If you want to paint somebody as a bad guy, whether it's a white man or a neo-Nazi or a white supremacist or whatever it happens to be, you can just easily throw that smear out there and hope that it sticks.
It's getting cheap.
It's getting easy and it really I don't think it's affecting the American people or the way they think about these things anymore.
Although there is a good deal of the American general public that just doesn't get it and allows the propaganda to sway their mind so easily.
Yes, yes.
Good comments, Astute.
Meanwhile, a woke think tank spent six months coming up with this dribble, the notion of ultra-mega, a slur Biden's using, but the conservatives are embracing it.
They have ultra-mega hats, ultra-mega shirts.
This is just stupid.
A new catchphrase, Ultramega dreamt up by a woke think tank who spent six months coming up with a phrase, while Jen Psaki claimed Joe Biden came up with it.
Well, it's stupid any way you cut it.
According to the Post, staffers at the Liberal Center for American Progress Action toiled for six months to find a way to gain a foothold in the November elections.
With the now often-uttered phrase being the culmination of Rappers, my God!
Talk about too little, too late.
This is unimpressive in the extreme.
The group is headed by a top Biden aide, Anita Dunn, who returned to the White House as a senior advisor after resigning back in August.
The phrase is supposed to, you know, a caricature, make America great again, first uttered by Biden last week.
But no one's impressed.
No one's impressed with this guy.
He's a blithering idiot.
He can't find his way around the stage.
He doesn't know what he's doing.
He can only read off a teleprompter.
He's incapable of spontaneous speech.
Outlining a plan for the worst inflation in 40 years, he said the other path is the ultra-mega plan put forward by congressional republicans to raise taxes on working families after he proposed raising taxes on the rich.
He also called Rick Scott, Florida Senator, as having an ultra-mega agenda.
But no one gives a damn.
This is nothing that Biden says makes a difference to anyone.
The slogan, intended as slander Republicans, has backfired, with the right largely embracing the new moniker.
I like it.
Look at these shirts.
Look at these hats.
I think everyone ought to have one.
I mean, it's great!
He said, here's Nev and Nayak from the Cap Action Fund telling The Post, all that extremism get captured in the brand.
A versatile epithet could be deployed while blasting the GOP on a range of issues.
He said, we're not trying to create a new word.
This is how they define themselves.
But conservatives are unimpressed, saying it shows further evidence of how out of touch a Democratic Party remains with American people.
Maybe it would have been better if Democrats had spent those six months preventing American children from going hungry, because we're out of formula.
If this took Biden six months, it's no surprise the Afghan withdrawal went as it did, a complete disaster.
Meanwhile, Jen Psaki's last briefing is chaotic, and she's heckled by an African journalist.
As Misaki began to take questions, Simon Atiba, chief White House correspondent for Today News Africa, was heard yelling from the back of the press room, why don't you take questions from across the room, he asked.
Why don't you take questions from across the room?
Because that's what you've not done for the past 15 months.
Well, Saki was not initially phased.
However, when he continued to ask, Jen, can I ask you a question from the back, Jen?
Can I ask you a question from the back?
She got pretty upset.
Indeed, NPR's Tara Keith turned around and urged him to desist.
Simon, please stop!
Adapa did not oblige, continued to shout over other reporters until Pisaki finally turned and said, Simon, if you can respect your colleagues and other media and reporters here, that would be greatly appreciated.
Pisaki's been criticized in the past for sticking to answering questions from reporters in the first few rows, typically not taking questions from outlets like The Post, The Washington Exam, or Al Jazeera and other foreign media.
After the raucous protest, Peter Alexander of NBC said he would voluntarily limit himself to two questions to allow more colleagues to have a turn.
Historically, White House reporters have adhered to an informal norm of limiting exchanges to two questions.
Since covering the Biden administration, Atiba has frequently sparred with Basaki, even going so far as to accuse her of lying about coronavirus-related travel restrictions.
Here is the final scene.
No one is going to miss her.
I just answered.
Simon, I answered a question on this.
It's not effective to scream over your colleagues here.
The same month, the team accused the restrictions of being racist because they targeted South African countries.
Since the start of the administration, the White House has defended the access it gives a member of the press.
However, They are pre-screening journalists, allowed with an earshot of Biden in advance, when comparable events were open to all journalists in previous administrations.
In other words, they're making sure he doesn't ask a question that they don't want him to be asked.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, well also the Biden administration is sending 700 troops over to the Horn of Africa because, as we know, it's really important for us to stabilize Somalia.
You know, so it's absolutely insane what these people are doing, and when they don't have a word, they go ahead and invent a word.
There never was a word called mal-information, but this and this wasn't enough, so they created mal, and so it's interesting that they create the phrase ultra magna, and it immediately boomerangs on them, because yeah, we're ultra magna, and you're ultra stupid, so there you go, kids!
Oh yeah, it was definitely more fun under Trump.
There's no doubt about it.
Whether you think he was one of the best presidents we've ever had, or whether you think he was one of the worst, at least it was interesting.
And a lot more interesting than the puppet show that we're seeing here today.
You know, if these lefties still think it hurts our feelings to call us MAGA people, they're severely mistaken.
If they're still trying to ride that tidal wave, I think most of us have gotten over it.
And we're now sitting back in our chairs watching this disaster in the White House today saying, we told you, we told you at least if you'd have stuck with the path, we could have had something got done the right way.
So I'm I'm still proud of Trump, whether he makes a comeback or not.
I'm still proud of the way that he stood up to the media, the way he handled everything.
And he definitely was really good at rubbing their fur the wrong way.
As for Saki, this is a whole game of puppets and puppeteers.
Ultramaga was brought up by the Centers for American Progress.
And so are they indicating that that was the puppet and Biden is the puppeteer?
What they're saying, or I'm sorry, that Centers for American Progress is the puppeteer and Biden is the puppet.
This is such a, it's such a sad game that they're playing with Jen Psaki and with the Democrats and with the words and with the trans this and trans that and black this and black white.
They want to start a war and they think they're going to pull it off by turning everybody against each other.
The best thing that they could possibly happen to them is that we're so divided that we couldn't stand up and fight back.
UltraMAGA, hey, you know what?
I'll ride it.
Sounds fun to me.
I have no problem with that.
They're probably paid a half a million taxpayer money per month for the six months to produce a mouse turd of UltraMAGA.
Give us a break.
Meanwhile, here we have a tweet from Jeff Bezos.
When Joe Biden says, you want to bring down inflation?
Let's make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.
Bezos?
The newly created disinformation board should review this tweet.
Or maybe they need to form a new non sequitur board instead.
Raising corporate taxes is fine to discuss.
Taming inflation is critical to discuss.
Mushing them together is just misdirection.
Meanwhile, the Thousand-Year Progressive Right by Todd Gregory and Eric Gregory.
Pretty damn interesting stuff.
In the movie, Jaws Roy Scheider, character Chief Brody, famously declares, we're going to need a bigger boat.
With today's Democrat Party, they're going to need a bigger clown car.
Democrat thought leaders, influencers, politicos, voters all speak the same progressive patio.
Sustainability, equity, intersectionality, cultural appropriation, white fragility, and of course, racism.
United in knee-jerk conformity, they've all mastered the vernacular of victimhood and meaningless platitudes.
Bumper sticker slogans abound, yard signs, science is real, love is love, loudly proclaim Democrat voters' cheap moral virtue and confirm their mindless banality.
It would be like former MSNBC zealot Keith Olbermann, Perhaps the worst person in the world, hooking up with Charles Manson to sing We Are Family, or maybe just hooking up or practicing a pansexual twerking routine or something.
Lost in a counterfactual wilderness of lies, the professing folk always have their panties in a bunch.
On a given day, they just know that Mike Lindell and his pillows represent a direct threat to global democracy.
If Oracle founder and second-tier billionaire Larry Ellison donates a few million for a conservative cause, that's illegitimate dark money.
Progressives are aghast.
If first-tier billionaire Soros gives tens of billions to far-left progressive causes, that's philanthropy.
The Tattoos Waitrolls of Antifa, most of them hideously ugly middle-aged white men, have engaged in a year-long orgy of rioting, defacing, and destroying once-vibrant downtowns nationwide, violently attacking, sometimes murdering, innocent passerby,
Vandalizing public and private property, toppling statues, throwing containers of feces—chimpanzees are also known to throw them—have earned Antifa the admiration of a variety of Democrat voters.
Of course, FBI Director Christopher Wray denies Antifa exists at all, which should raise eyebrows about their actual relationship with Antifa.
By at least a two-to-one margin, Democrat voters support the silencing and censorship of anybody with whom they have ideological disagreements.
Illiberal progressives get a dopamine rush every time they excommunicate a conservative from the public square.
But, like heroin junkies, progressives need to cancel more and bigger scalps to quell their rage addiction.
Infantile Democrats are petulant killjoys, screeching for their pacifiers.
Yet no matter how many of their absurd demands are granted, how often conservatives surrender on any and all cultural debates, progressives just become further infuriated.
Democrats up the ante, raise the stakes, move the goalposts.
Gay marriage was legalized.
Now they want the right to sexually groom young children and normalize pedophilia.
Maybe Princeton's professor of bioethics, Pete Singer, can get official moral sanction for incest, bestiality, necrophilia, and infanticide.
Per progressive demand, psychotropic drugs are widely legalized, but now Democrats demand everyone take an evidently sham vaccine of unproven efficacy with known harmful side effects.
If you're disobedient or refuse the vax, they threaten to take away your livelihood and ostracize you.
It's not your body, not your choice, and progressives say it's not.
The southern border deliberately left open and millions of destitute non-citizens, most of whom cannot speak the language.
Many bring drugs that kill 100,000 or more Americans annually, and progressive demand tens or hundreds of millions more be admitted, plus given the right to vote.
If 80% of illegal border crossers were voting Republican, does anyone think the left wouldn't have built a durable, impenetrable border wall decades ago?
Hundreds of thousands of convicted felons are released early from prison, but wise, all-knowing progressives say it's not enough.
Both the police and the judicial system should be abolished.
A massive national spike in homicide?
Oh, that's because of COVID or Trump or Putin or whatever.
Don't agree with pseudo-scientific recognition of endless genders or progressive fever pitch hysteria over the importance of hitherto unknown pronouns?
You're a Nazi.
Funny how Russian dictator Putin constantly refers to besieged Ukraine as Nazis, exactly how many Democrats refer to conservatives.
America have a government outbying for the progressive left.
The nexus between America's government-media-academic-corporate complex and conservative citizens is analogous to that of the pimp and the prostitute.
The government pimp forces a conservative taxpayer out onto the street to work and turn tricks, then demands she return and give him half the money.
If a taxpayer balks in any way at this malignant arrangement, the pimp slaps her around her ears to get back out there if she knows what's good for her and bring back the proceeds so he can buy a new fur coat or luxury auto or feed his drugs.
It's profoundly abusive and it keeps getting worse.
As David Horowitz reminds us, inside every progressive is a little totalitarian screaming to get out.
Democrats voted for this aspirational thousand-year progressive rise.
They're all Brandon now.
They're all the same clown aircraft carrier, and many are getting what they voted for, good and hard.
Stunning stuff.
What an indictment.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, well, speaking of people that are hypocrites, this year is going to mark the 70th platinum anniversary of the Queen of England, and she wasn't able to make her required statement to the House of Lords today, so she sent over Prince Chuck, who's like in his 70s, and he shows up in a Lifted top Rolls-Royce with the royal crown in front of him.
Sits on a golden throne.
Says that we realize there's a lot of pensioners in the UK that are hurting right now.
But what the Queen wants to do is to level up.
And then by leveling up, he explained that one of the problems they were going to solve was puppy smuggling.
So that's an important little event.
And the Queen actually owns, and I was looking it up, Business Insider, 15 largest landowners in the world, and I was just getting back to number one.
I've got it written in previous sets of notes, but the Queen of England He owns 6.6 billion acres of this planet, and that's not enough for them.
So, you know, that's pretty disgusting.
But then getting back to the original stuff that this segment started on about the WuFlu shit, great interviews, one with Rainer Follmich, And Malcolm Roberts, a senator in Australia, absolutely wonderful.
And then another one with Naomi Wolf, who's got a whole bunch of information about the effects on children and birth rates and infected mother's milk.
So bottom line is we've got to continue to push on that front too, because these people are absolute totalitarians.
And we'll cover more of that as we get later in this segment.
There's so many great lines in that piece.
Of course, it was an opinion piece, but I sure liked it.
Brian, your thoughts?
Well, you know, for mature adults and thinking citizens, we tend to think that there is such a thing as right makes might.
But unfortunately, on the left, Any idea of being right means you're harassing or bullying them somehow.
There is no moral center anymore for these people.
That's why they're so afraid of Elon Musk getting a hold of Twitter so they can stop the free speech.
Because they see free speech as the right to bully and harass and push around those weak people that haven't made up their minds about whether they're a boy or a girl or a he or a him or a she or her.
They see themselves as so weak that every one of them needs to be propped up and somehow shielded in their little bubble from any criticism or any hint of harassment or bullying.
And they're just absolutely terribly weak people.
And I think it's becoming much clearer to many of our listeners and society as a whole that these people's skin is so thin that they're acting like children when they don't get their way.
You know, when I raised my daughter I had to teach her right from wrong and there were times when she was wrong and there was times when I had to scold her and teach her a lesson.
Well, Donald Trump did that a bit with these guys, pushed them around quite a bit.
Today, the left has gotten so weak that they're literally supporting Joe Biden and this puppet.
They're supporting some ideas that are absolutely insane, teaching these things to tiny children in schools.
I swear what they're doing is they're trying to take away any sense of compass and any moral direction so that they can explore the whole world of whatever humanity is capable of.
And it's going to be devastating.
It's going to be devastating in the future when these kids start to grow up and learn some tough lessons about employers, wanting them at work on time, and the basics of life.
Overall, I thought the story was very funny, but Jim, you're a bully for reading it out loud.
Well, you know what these younger people lack today, Brian, is discipline.
And I think this is another consequence of abolishing the draft.
I think America would be stronger if we still had the draft, because then American families would care about decisions of war and peace, knowing their sons or daughters might be at stake.
Without the draft, they couldn't care less.
They don't pay attention.
The sons or daughters don't get the benefit of being trained in the military, of having to assume some responsibility, and achieving a degree of discipline that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
We have slovenly, lazy, uneducated, untrained young people today, and the country is suffering as a consequence.
But it's all endorsed by the Democrat Party.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is in disarray.
New leaks reveal Chief Justice Roberts' preferred row reversal.
There's now another big leak from the court, unapologetically linked to the conservative wing.
Chief Justice Roberts was planning to further carve away at Roe, giving court approval to the Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks, but did not want to overturn Roe completely.
The other conservatives essentially told him to pound sand.
They wanted an end to Roe.
Alito got the job of writing the theocratic premise decision declaring federal abortion to be dead, based on the premise of his own personal religion and ranting of an infamous 17th century misogynist and wish hunter.
This is not news.
That Roberts was not on board with the full ramifications of what the Alito wing is pressing for was evident from the draft, which would not exist if Roberts were in the majority, because he would never have assigned the most controversial decision of his tenure to the arch-conservative to begin with.
What's more interesting is the court is leaking, again, an intentional leak to prop up Roberts' fast-eroding dignity or further brag of the conservative wing's willingness to erase Roe outright.
As of last week, the five-member majority to strike Roe remains intact.
According to three conservatives close to the court who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity.
A person close to the most conservative members said Roberts told them in a private conference in December he planned to uphold the state law and write an opinion that left Roe and Casey in place for now.
But the other were more interested in overturning the president.
That's quite a big leak.
After all, think about it, now we got a whole set of conservative privy to the court's internal deliberations, all coming out at once to assert Roberts wanted to sabotage Roe by chipping away at its foundation, allowing Mississippi to enact a 15-week ban, despite Roe and Casey.
But he was unanimously rejected by the other conservatives.
The motive comes easiest to mind.
Why so many are willing to do this is legacy polishing.
Roberts may be pressing the New League himself to attempt to distance himself from the extremists and signal to Republican power brokers he indeed tried to stop his fellow conservatives from doing the most election-rattling thing and is still committed to his own brand of judicial activism that knocks away precedents incrementally rather than all at once.
It's Roberts, in this scenario, is pressing his allies to leak to the press for entirely self-serving reasons.
That's a pretty weak reason for, again, shattering the supposed all-important prohibition against leaking internal court decision-making.
But there's another possible motive from other possible leakers.
It's possible the Alito draft was leaked by a conservative, perhaps an anti-abortion extremist or activist married to one of the conservative justices who's already shown a willingness to break the law.
Of course, most extremist members want it.
There's not a damn thing anyone can do on or about it.
It doesn't require much imagination to believe they've been bragging vitally among themselves.
I personally would be surprised.
Perhaps those allied with the court's most reactionary would be quite happy to leak to the press that Roberts tried to keep the extremists from taking the move.
We now know for a fact multiple conservatives close to the court are leaking like the muskva.
Will condemnation again roll in?
Will Roberts launch a second investigation?
Well, no, but we still know it's court-connected conservatives doing the leaking because that's how they're willing to identify themselves to us.
We just don't know whose boots they're trying to polish by doing that.
This was from the Daily Cause, which of course is a left-wing publication, but on issues like abortion, I think it's valuable to see how they're perceiving this matter.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yes, well, Roberts also got pressured into changing his vote on Obamacare, which he was going to go ahead and say, I'm sorry, this is a tax and this can't be imposed the way it's written and it needs to go back to the House and be rewritten.
But when it was leaked that he was going to vote that way, he immediately changed his mind.
And so we've got a rotten Supreme Court that just bounces back and forth with 5-4 decisions like those that have any meaning in life at all.
It was never intended to rewrite every bill that was sent out by the House, which is where bills are supposed to be, where we have actual voter control over our representatives.
We have no vote on these clowns that are appointed for life in the Supreme Court.
A lot of them are some really shady individuals.
When Scalia was murdered, there was a huge uproar about that, but there was no autopsy.
He went there of his own volition without any security, which He could have easily requested and would have been easily provided.
He went to a place where there was rumors of child pedophilia going on, and there were two great articles.
One that was at former Field McDonald's website, our Field McConnell's website, and the other one at Veterans Today that had actual testimony from witnesses who had been molested as young boys by Scalia.
And he was a member of one of the black circles with the Catholic Church, total Jesuit.
We've got seven, quote, Jesuits on the court right now and two Jews.
You just don't see a Protestant in the bunch, much less an agnostic or an atheist.
is there's nothing supreme about any of those nine black robe disease puppets up there.
It is strange how the court's dominated by Catholics and Jews.
You just don't see a Protestant in the bunch, much less an agnostic or an atheist.
Brian, your thoughts.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know there were rumors, and I can't remember if it's actually true, but wasn't Roberts on one of Epstein's planes?
I think six times, yes.
And yes, Joe, I do remember very clearly when Roberts reversed his opinion on Obamacare being a tax.
I remember at the time, I still had hope that Obamacare wouldn't go through, and so it was pretty devastating to me, and it I lost a lot of confidence in the Supreme Court when that happened.
However, that particular article is like the Webster's definition of speculation and conjecture.
We don't know where the leak is coming from.
We don't know if it's conservatives or liberals.
We don't know whose leak it was.
I didn't see anything there that backed up any idea of an actual fact or said how it actually happened.
It was just fluff.
It was just some lefty chatting away with different ideas as to who might have the motive, who, when, where, why.
As a private investigator, that's not how we do investigations.
That might be how we start out to come up with some theories, but it's certainly not how we get to the bottom of it.
Until the Supreme Court deals with its issue of loose lips sinks ships, then they're going to have a major problem with confidence in the United States.
The American people are going to lose confidence and quickly.
And if we lose confidence in the Supreme Court, might as well pack it.
I mean, I don't have confidence in the White House.
I don't have confidence in the Senate.
I don't have confidence in the House.
I don't have confidence in the Department of Justice or the Attorney General.
I don't have confidence in anything, anywhere, any house.
So why the hell would I have any confidence in the Supreme Court?
I mean, It's ridiculous that there is no sense of justice anymore.
That's why it's almost fun to lay back, relax, laugh it off, turn off your TVs, enjoy your family, go spend some time on the water, do whatever you want to do, and just let the years fly by until we see some hope that there'll be some actual justice.
I don't know when that'll be, but I doubt it'll be anytime soon.
Ryan, that's just amazing and exactly right.
That's the situation we're in.
Meanwhile, the real reason behind the EU drive to embargo Russian oil?
This week, the EU announced a complete import ban on Russian oil.
Hungary is threatening to veto.
Germany, after some hemming and hawing, has finally decided it can survive such a ban.
We're talking about oil rather than gas, meaning natural gas.
Assuming Hungary's objections are eventually overcome, this looks like another energy-owned goal by the people obsessed with soccer.
The U.S.
has already issued a ban.
Because European industry is heavily dependent on Russian oil and gas, the conventional wisdom is the EU Commission is just petulant and incompetent.
Are they petulant?
Yes.
Incompetent?
Possibly.
But only if you think in conventional terms of doing the right thing for their people.
What's clear to serious observers is they're not interested in what their people have to say, or what their people want, or what their people need.
Their agenda will brook no opposition, even if it means destroying their own economies to bring a rival to its knees.
That said, I sincerely doubt there will also be a buyer's embargo on natural gas because there is no viable substitute.
Hungary is using the need for unanimous consent to block any gas ban.
There are at least three other countries happy Hungary is willing to suffer Brussels' wrath.
But banning Russian oil?
That's different.
So it's interesting Hungary would do this, given they import no oil from Russia.
By the way, that's an incorrect statement.
It turns out Hungary actually imports 65% of its oil from Russia.
The veto was predicted the morning after the Hungarians overwhelmingly rejected George Soros' anti-Victor Orbán coalition and handed it an ignominious defeat.
Hungary, on the other hand, has energy independence from Brussels by having contracted directly with Gazprom for natural gas, given TurkStream's train that goes into Serbia and Hungary.
That should give you context as to why the EU is trying to sanction Serbia and cut off the flow of the pipeline where it crosses into Bulgaria.
With a fiscally, monetarily, they're not on the Euro in energy independent Hungary, there's little argument for them to stay in the EU if Brussels will treat them as second-class citizens or abandon his government, have been resolute in refusing to become involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
In spite of serious pressure from NATO.
It's almost as if Orbán and the Hungarians are daring the EU to advance Article 7 procedure to kick them out.
The problem is, if they do, it would begin the fracturing of the EU.
So what's more likely is Hungary will use the veto to get the EU to back off on the rule of law violations which are justifying cutting off Hungary from its EU budget distributions.
The horse trade should be obvious.
Because Brussels and their behind-the-scenes backers want a ban on Russian oil as much as the U.S.
and the U.K., part of their long-term strategy to bleed Russia out.
It's in the difference between the oil industry and the natural gas industry where they think they can achieve their goal.
In both oil and gas, pressurizing a well is, for the most part, a one-way process.
You dig a well and pull the oil or gas out.
Produces until the well is depleted.
You replace the well's natural decay and production by drilling a new well.
But even if they're a big demand shock to the downside, rarely an issue in the oil industry in the aggregate, the wells keep producing.
The market is temporarily flooded with oil, the price drops, old wells are not replaced until supply and demand balance is restored.
Oil future curves are constructed by traders to anticipate the effects on prices.
Normal volatility of oil demand given the curve should reasonably be predictable, unfortunately.
We're living through a time where the most powerful people in the world, at least in their own minds, are openly trying to destroy the petroleum market for their own purpose and agenda, working to make oil and gas prices volatile to the point of destroying investment in the industry.
Make no bones about it, they claim, oil is the bane of the planet.
I call these people the Davos crowd.
They are unelected oligarch bankers, hereditary powers, and newly made men in the mafia sense who gather in Davos, Switzerland, every year to determine the fate of humanity.
It's their agenda, using climate change and international threats like biowarfare and terrorism as their justification for a massive expansion of the surveillance state and their control over all things, especially money.
Russia's massive natural resource and sovereigntist-minded government stands wholly in the way.
If you believe otherwise, you've been gaslit by Devo's propaganda.
Put away childish things.
Some rabbit holes are just holes, not warrants.
The U.S.
is happy to push Europe to this point.
Many commentators want to end the conversation there.
Pick your epithet, but the line is, Empire of Lies or Zone A. Whoever feels their hegemony is threatened and they're bullying everyone, especially Europe, into their preferred strategy.
But I think that story is more the made-for-TV version.
It leaves out the larger goal.
Rather than be captives of a hyper-militant US, EU nations are absolute willing partners.
Davos Great Reset Strategy is built on the same mistakes about resource scarcity Thomas Malthus made back in the early 19th century.
It's an economic model that does not believe people respond in real time to incentives pro or con, which moderate their behavior.
Rather, they see humans as a virus unleashed upon a world that needs to be controlled.
The entire Great Reset could be boiled down to the same argument as a villain in Marvel films, Thanos, made about having to kill off half the life in the universe to make things sustainable.
And the power center is not the U.S.
and the U.S.
Empire.
We are the hyper-capitalists throwing the virus in our petri dish of individualism.
No, this thing can come square out of European critiques of capitalism.
To be reductionist is just Marxism worn over, given a fresh gloss of rhetorical pain, sustainability, stakeholder capitalism, environmental, social and governance, shared purpose, etc.
The proof that the EU is just happy with wars, neoconservatives in the US and UK, is evident in their unwillingness to end the war through diplomacy.
But Europeans are the ones who will suffer the most from this strategy.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, I read that Tom Laguno thing, and it's like, the guy's, he's never been within 200 feet of any type of well, and that's a, you know, a well that's being drilled for water, or for gas, or for petroleum.
The guy's absolute ding-dong has a degree in economics, so he's extrapolating this stuff about you can't shut down an oil well.
Well, geez whiz, when I was a punk, My next door neighbor, his dad owned an oil workover rig company and they had three rigs that they'd go out and pull this thin pipe up because as you pump oil out of a well over a length of time a certain number of solids are going to start caking up the pipe and the pipe gets to the point where it has real restricted flow from two reasons.
One is a reduction in the available stream that's down underneath there.
And the other is because of the plugging of the pipes.
So they would pull the thing out and then they ended up replacing what used to be the old, um, rocking, uh, beam well pumps that were suction type pumps with other pumps that were submersible.
And that was a big industry for him.
He took me out, um, many Saturdays with him saying, Hey, you're not doing anything today.
Let's go out.
I'll show you what it's like to be on an oil rig.
And so I got to actually wallow around in it and realized early on that it would be a lot better for me to spend my time in college than it would be for me to try to make that $4 an hour as a roughneck on a Derek, and so I understand what this guy's talking about, but it's absolutely insane.
You can shut off an oil well and then you can turn it on the very next day.
You can shut it off and turn it on a year from then.
If you shut it off long enough and it ends up being plugged, it could be blown out.
The gas well has no problem being shut off or turned back on, so the guy's talking through his hat on that, and it's unfortunate that that's the kind of Disinformation that's constantly being pumped out by these so-called experts.
The problems that are going to happen, the fissure lines that are happening with NATO are also happening with the EU.
And it's not just Hungary, it's also Czechoslovakia, And Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, are also heavily relying on a Russian oil solution back.
And so it looks like to me that this whole edifice of European unity and superiority is going to absolutely crumble in no time.
I have no use for NATO and the EU.
If you look at the way that thing's written, they have over 2000 appointed bureaucrats that write every one of their laws.
And then they've got like a thousand representatives that come in from all these different countries.
And they are not allowed to put an amendment.
And all they can do is debate up or down.
And they vote yes or no on all of the proposals that are put before them.
And just like the clowns we got in this country, who's going to read a thousand pages of jibjab that's written in 10 different languages?
What a superb commentary, Joe.
I commend you.
what it actually says in the majority of those languages.
It's absolutely shameful that this is what they call a government in Europe.
And it's absolutely shameful that we have to protect ourselves with a military industrial marketing firm like NATO.
It's absolutely disgusting wall to wall.
And Godspeed, Russia, take these people down ASAP. - What a superb commentary, Joe.
I commend you.
Brian, your thoughts. - Well, I do live in Houston.
I live in Baytown, actually, where all the oil and gas is literally brought in and divided up into different molecules and canned and sold in the market.
I always believed that oil and gas was a supply and demand issue that had nothing to do with the president.
Matter of fact, when the oil and gas prices went down under Trump, I thought, well, Trump got lucky.
That was nice.
I'm changing my mind.
I think that there is obviously still the same demand that there used to be and obviously a much lower supply.
Could that have anything to do with the pipelines that are being shut down?
Who would have the power to control the puppet who would shut down the pipelines?
Which is now why I understand that you put those two stories together.
Because the first one talks about oil and gas and what it's doing to the world, and the second one deals with who are the puppeteers who are pulling the strings to make sure that this happens to us, and why are they doing it?
Well, They obviously want us weak and broke.
We have to fight back by doing things like this, being part of programs like this, getting out there, earning a nice living, having the resources that we need, but more importantly, raising kids and a good garden.
At the end of the day, when it comes to fighting globalists and oligarchs, how else can you do it except one person at a time, one community at a time, and one block at a time?
Excellent.
Just excellent.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you.
Send fan mail, pro or con, to LiveNeedToKnow at gmail.com.

Here's some commentaries.
Peter Story writes, 13 amendments to the international health regulations.
I am highly concerned about the following.
On January 18, 2022, the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services proposed 13 amendments to the International Health Regulations.
They give control over the declaration of a public health emergency in any member state to the WHO Director General, even over objections of member states.
Countries have to vote against this when it comes up for vote with 194 states at the end of this month.
Otherwise, we could all become Shanghai if these amendments come into effect at the end of the year.
Thanks, Jim.
Meanwhile, everything you want to know about conspiracy theories or are afraid to ask, this time you don't need to be afraid, continues discussing the assassination of JFK tomorrow night.
You can still join if you are so inclined at MixandStream.com slash critical hyphen thinking dot html.
All the previous classes are recorded.
But there we are, 18 May, the assassination of JFK, the use of fabricated evidence.
Meanwhile, final thoughts, Joe.
Yes, well also there was a great interview on one of the YouTube channels with Todd Callender, and I will put a link to that because it's really worth viewing, and he says that the lipid nanoparticles that are in these jabs contain Marburg virus, which are subject to activation at an 18 gigahertz
5G radio frequency and so what he's predicting is that there's going to be a whole bunch more infections with that and then we also have a dramatic increase in HIV cases and we already know about the heart attacks and the infant deaths but now there's a new thing that just came out.
There's an increase in rare Monkeypox in the UK and it's affecting the people whose immune systems have been destroyed by the jabs that were safe and effective.
So tonight I'm going to an event where there's a John Birch Society expert talking about 5G.
So hopefully I'll have some more information on that and hopefully we'll be able to get her to agree to be a guest on One of the future TNT shows.
And also, the show that we did as a warm-up for Matt Ebert was a great show.
It's got lots of views.
We had a great radio program where we talked about some of the problems with FDR.
And we're going to have an ongoing discussion with him.
But we've also got a guy named Mark Marano.
Who was formerly with Jim Inhofe's office.
He's been with CFAC and he's also has a site called Climate Depot which hosted several of my articles like 12 years ago.
He's got a one-minute segment that he does on TNT Radio and he's agreed to be a guest and so I'm going to get him and Jim and I to do a pre-show warm-up just like we did Excellent, Joe.
ERC.
So we'll do a video where we'll be able to show some graphs and I'll be able to explain to Bart some of the things that are wrong with the carbon warms a little bit hypothesis.
And that ought to be another great show.
So looking forward to that, kids.
Excellent, Joe.
Brian.
Well, I love the plug that you put in for the class.
I I've been a member of that class, and I must say it's been very, very good.
I've been supplementing with a lot of materials, and it's nice to begin to understand how to recognize these fallacies out in the real world.
I'm actually starting to see them, and you know the education is working when you start to actually be able to pinpoint, oh, that's this type of fallacy, or that's that type of fallacy.
So, I do suggest the class, even if you do it again next time around, maybe somebody can All of our listeners can join all the way.
I thought the show today was going to be about the Buffalo Shooter, so I, as a private investigator, dug into that.
And I've spent most of my morning working on that, so I've been shooting from the hip on some of these stories today.
But I have found some interesting things.
I have a certain process that I go through with these false flags that's been effective for me in the past.
And this one seems to be exactly that.
The biggest flaw I've seen so far is that the very first victim that was shot in the parking lot was as white as can be.
Now how can that be?
No, she was as white as can be, but she fell forward.
If she was hit by a round, she should have fallen backwards.
There was no blood anywhere.
One of the victims was shot point-blank in the skull.
Just wind, breeze, just breeze by.
His head didn't blow apart like a pumpkin.
It was just as fraudulent as it can be.
Very much a mini version of what happened in New Zealand at Christchurch.
They even plagiarized part of the Christchurch Manifesto for this guy.
Totally fake.
Yeah, we were already on it, Brian.
We were covering this yesterday and even the day before.
But I love that you're doing this.
Tomorrow on David Zublik, I'm doing a whole hour with him on the Buffalo shooting.
What a fraud.
And talking about it in comparison with New Zealand.
Once again, we have a joyful Texas Tuesday with two Texans, both from Houston this time around.
They were simply superb today, as I had anticipated they would be.
We want you to spend as much time as you can with your friends, your family, your loved ones.
Literally, we do not know how much time we have left.
Don't miss a moment you could spend with them.
