Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer in Madison, Wisconsin, joined today by Michael Parker in Los Angeles, California.
Regrettably, Chris Weinert is unable to join us today, unless by chance.
We begin with the reports.
The UK has sent depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine.
This is very, very bad.
Alongside our granting a squadron a challenger to main battle tanks, Ukraine will be providing ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds, which contain depleted uranium.
The rounds are highly effective in defeating modern tanks and armored vehicles.
That is certainly true, but that does not make this a good idea.
United Kingdom Deputy Minister of Defence Annabel Goldie stated today UK will supply Ukraine with a depleted uranium ammunition for some of the systems provided by NATO.
Russia has previously warned use of DU will be considered an attack by a dirty nuke and will respond in a nuclear response.
So how can anyone be this stupid?
Annabel Goldie, Ernest Goldie, D. L. Borden in 1950, is a Scottish politician in Liberia, served as leader of the Scottish Conservative Party from 2005 to 2011, as Minister of State for Defence since 2019.
The D.U.
in munitions is controversial because of long-term health effects.
Normal functioning of kidney, brain, liver, heart, and other systems, biological, can be affected by exposure to uranium, which, of course, is a toxic metal.
It's weakly radioactive, but has a very long half-life.
Really astonishing.
The biological half-life, or average time it takes for the human body to eliminate half of what's in its body for uranium, is about 15 days.
The aerosol or spallation frangible powder produced by impact of depleted uranium munitions can potentially contaminate wide areas around the impact site.
The actual levels of acute and chronic toxicity of DU is also controversial.
Studies with lab rats suggest a possibility of leukemia genetic reproductive neurological effects from chronic exposure.
According to Allergist Zero, DU from American artillery was a major cause of increase in the general mortality rate in Iraq since 1991.
A 2005 epidemiology review concluded In aggregate, human epidemiological evidence is consistent with an increase in birth defects in offspring of those exposed to DU.
That DU from exploding munition did not lead to Gulf War illness.
Rather, despite the use, no DU had been found in soil samples in the city of Volhynia.
But Russia has explicitly warned against doing this.
Here we have the head of the Russian delegation to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe being specifically instructed to announce.
We know the Leopard 2 tank, as well as the Bradley and Martyr infantry fighting vehicles are armed with uranium core armor-piercing projectiles, use of which leads to radioactive contamination, as happened in Yugoslavia and Iraq.
If such shells are delivered to Kiev, we will consider this use of dirty nuclear bombs against Russia, with all the ensuing consequences.
Russian President Putin stated Russia will directly respond to the UK if they do send these depleted uranium rounds.
Very, very bad idea.
The Russian defense ministers have complained there are fewer and fewer steps left toward a nuclear collision.
Lots of comments about it.
Never forget it's also a toxic heavy metal.
Oh, oh, sweet Jesus.
UK to sin to bleed it.
Goodbye, UK.
Voice of reason.
The drum beats go on.
Let's keep poking the bear.
UK to sin.
Crap.
Uranium.
No one except hell reports what we are not seeing.
Remember the bulletin you gave us?
Excuse me.
More comments about it.
Another red line.
Here's one I'm going to read.
Tactical nuke.
It just exploded in an armored train full of tanks.
That very much looks like a tactical.
To me, tacticals have been dropped in Syria, Yemen, and perhaps UK or Ukraine.
This is just a huge blunder.
Michael, your thoughts?
I was not aware that this was on the table until I read our PDF that you sent me today.
And like yourself, I'm very concerned about this.
And you know, I remember in the 90s during the Kosovo War, our use of depleted uranium weapons at that point, and of course in the Gulf War as well.
And then we have the resulting Gulf War syndrome.
So what you're talking about doing is irradiating potentially another country.
So This ties into something that I wanted to mention to you.
A week or so ago, I was driving and I had turned on the radio and Mark Levin was on and he was complaining about people like us.
And he was saying, ah, these, you know, these terrible America firsters who are really America lasters because we oppose the war in Ukraine.
No, it's not because we're Necessarily pro-Putin.
We're anti-war, man, and we're anti-World War III, and we're anti-incompetence.
And it seems like when you introduce another level of stupidity and danger into the equation, in this case, Depleted uranium.
It's like, it's almost like we absolutely refuse to try to mediate this or to find an end for it.
Instead, we're going to continue to elevate the danger and elevate the continued human catastrophe that's already occurred.
So, I'm extremely concerned about this.
It pisses me off no end.
The ecotoxicity of depleted uranium is well known, man.
I mean, so I don't know why Listen, I understand we're going to continue to send weapons and make money on the weapons, and Zelensky and his people are saying, yeah, bring us everything you got.
You can test them here in Ukraine.
I understand all that.
I oppose it.
I find it incredibly cynical and anti-human.
But in this case, so why do we have to go the extra level and now bring in what Russia is considering dirty bombs and elevate it to the next level of danger?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're anti-stupidity and we're pro-humanity.
I mean, I interviewed Christopher Busby, I mean, it was over a decade ago, who's an internationally recognized expert on cancer and radioactivity, and he went to Fallujah to study the vast outbreak of genetic defects, believing
It would be from the depleted uranium anti-tank weapons we were using, discovering, to his astonishment, it was from enriched uranium due to a new class of tactical nuclear weapons the United States was deploying in Iraq.
So, Michael, I'm telling you, the U.S.
duplicity and mendacity and inhumanity is beyond belief, just beyond belief.
And if I may add one other thing, I have family in Yugoslavia currently.
My wife's family is, they're descended from Yugoslavians and we still have some family there.
But anyway, they're still very concerned to this day about the levels of toxicity in the soil and water and things that may be remaining from the 90s conflict.
Yeah, it's sadistic and irresponsible and grotesque that these kinds of weapons are deployed at all.
Meanwhile, Governor DeSantis has criticized the Manhattan D.A.
for the Trump investigation describing it as a manufactured circus.
Former Governor DeSantis criticized Alvin Prague for pursuing a criminal investigation against Trump for the alleged hush money payments to the adult performer Stormy Daniels.
He hasn't received information about the indictment, but of course Trump lives in Florida at Mar-a-Lago at a press conference in Panama City.
Rumors, of course, have circulated that it is imminent, but the governor's irritation of being distracted from running the nation's third largest state by what he regards as little more than a publicity stunt by a Soros-funded prosecutor drew his wrath.
We're not involved in this.
We won't be involved in this.
Some kind of manufactured circus by a source-funded DA.
He's trying to create a political spectacle.
Virtue signal for his base.
I've got real issues I have to deal with here in Florida.
With so many in front of the legislature, I have to spend time on issues that matter to people.
I can't spend time worrying about things of that nature, so we're not going to be involved in any way.
Billionaire financier George Soros, a major donor to progressive political causes, intended to fulfill his dream to destroy America, by the way, about which he's made no secret, has backed a candidacy of prosecutors in cities where Upon taking office, they've enacted radical law enforcement agendas refusing to prosecute types of crime or require bail.
In San Francisco, Chessa Bowden was recalled by voters after the crime rate soared another.
In L.A., George Gasson survived a recall, no doubt because they affected the outcome of the votes.
I'm just glad I'm the only governor in the country who's actually removed one from office.
The Senate has removed the Hillsborough County District Attorney Andrew Warren last year for stating he wouldn't prosecute certain crimes.
He's a source-funded prosecutor, like other source-funded prosecutors weaponize their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety.
He has downgraded over 50% of felonies and misdemeanors, says he doesn't want to even have jail time for the vast majority of crimes.
And what we've seen in Manhattan is we've seen the crime rate go up and we've seen citizens become less safe.
He ridiculed Bragg for prosecuting Trump over a relatively minor, albeit suggestive, matter.
Here's Tucker.
This is just wonderful.
Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson's.
Happy Monday.
The dominant rumor on the internet over the weekend was that Donald Trump will soon be indicted, possibly even handcuffed on camera.
Is that true?
We can't say.
We do know that Trump is the subject of a grand jury investigation in Manhattan.
That's a city that voted against Donald Trump by almost 80% in the last presidential election.
We also know that the grand jury was empaneled by a Soros-funded DA called Alvin Bragg, who looks and acts like a Tawana Brawley-era Al Sharpton.
So we would assume, on the basis of that evidence, that it's pretty likely Trump does get charged with something at some point.
That's the question that should matter.
In a free country, laws are universal.
Laws apply to all citizens equally, precisely because all citizens are considered equal.
For generations, this was very obvious to American liberals.
In fact, it was the basis of their worldview.
That was back when liberals opposed Jim Crow, and we're not trying to reinstate it as something called equity.
We are not liberals, but we retain the traditional American view, which is that laws must be applied equally, or else they're not laws at all.
Justice must be blind, or else it is tyranny.
So we spent the day, with the help of a lawyer on our staff, trying to assess the likely charges against Donald Trump.
And here's what we found.
Eight years ago, as he was running for president, Trump paid a porn actress called Stormy Daniels $130,000.
Daniels alleged that she and Trump had at one point had sex.
Trump denied that.
He still denies it.
But in exchange for promising not to repeat that claim in public, Trump, through his then attorney Michael Cohen, sent Stormy Daniels a check.
Was that legal?
Well, we can answer that question.
Because there was a campaign in progress at the time, officials at the Federal Election Commission later examined the transaction between Trump and Stormy Daniels.
Federal investigators concluded that nothing criminal had taken place.
And in fact, settlements like this, whatever you think of them, are common, both among famous people, celebrities, and in corporate America.
The result is usually known as an NDA, a non-disclosure agreement.
In this case, you can believe whatever side you want to believe, but paying people not to talk about things, hush money, is ordinary in modern America.
According to the FEC, there was no need for Donald Trump to report his payments to Stormy Daniels, nor was the money that he sent her through his attorney subject to campaign finance limitations.
The FEC determined the entire thing was a personal expenditure.
It clearly was.
So what is the crime here?
Well, the media don't seem very interested in finding out.
This is Donald Trump.
He's a criminal.
Everything he does is a crime.
Watch.
Simply because he may have committed worse crimes, you don't let him off of lesser crimes.
If you are, for example, seeking a prosecution for murder, if the guy gets caught drunk driving in another context before that, you don't just let him go because you have bigger fish to fry.
Nobody is above the law, including Donald Trump.
It doesn't matter that this is kind of a minor crime compared to some of the other allegations.
A crime is a crime is a crime is a crime.
That's what anybody prosecuting or a judge would say.
A crime is a crime is a crime, as Mika said.
An indictment is an indictment is an indictment.
When I hear people saying this is much ado about nothing, I think about all the members of Congress I served with and understanding every single one of them would have been charged and sent to jail had they done this.
I was reading the Bible which said that that a man's souls that he may also weep.
Joe Scarborough, ladies and gentlemen, telling us what a crime is.
A crime with a woman!
Okay.
There's Al Sharpton lecturing us about the Bible.
It's hilarious.
Oh, the hypocrisy.
But it didn't really answer the question.
Why are we handcuffing Donald Trump?
Liberals don't seem to care at all, as long as it happens, as long as Trump gets handcuffed.
But in fact, there's plenty of evidence that Trump committed no crime in sending money to Stormy Daniels.
We don't have to guess.
Consider the case of former North Carolina Senator John Edwards.
Edwards was often described as a fiery liberal, but in fact he was a populist.
He ran for president twice, and in the process infuriated the leaders of the Democratic Party by talking way too much about income inequality.
They really hated him for that.
Long after Edwards left office, Barack Obama's DOJ charged him with federal finance violations.
So the premise of the case against John Edwards was that he had received a million dollars in gifts and that he spent that money in hush money payments to his mistress, with whom he later had a child.
Obama's DOJ argued that the money that Edwards sent to his girlfriend amounted to campaign contributions.
Edwards never reported that money, so Obama's DOJ tried to send him to prison.
Well, in the end, the case fell apart under the weight of its own incoherence.
So Obama's lawyers argued that any payment that could conceivably help a political candidate, politically, is by definition a campaign expenditure.
There's no law that says that, by the way.
They just made it up.
But if you think about it for a second, it doesn't make sense.
If that were true, flip it around.
It would mean that candidates could use donor money, and also taxpayer money in the form of federal matching funds, to pay for any personal expense as long as that expense could conceivably benefit them politically.
So candidates could take federal matching funds, tax dollars, to buy Ferraris as long as they argued those Ferraris would appear in campaign ads, etc., etc.
It's nonsensical.
So not surprisingly, John Edwards was acquitted in that case.
It was a humiliating defeat for the Obama administration, but it also sent a clear message and set a precedent, which Alvin Bragg apparently is ignoring.
So, we don't know that an indictment is coming, as noted.
And if it does come, we're not sure what it's going to say.
We haven't seen it.
But if Trump is indicted for sending money to Stormy Daniels, well, you'll be watching the abuse of law enforcement power.
Oh, but you can't complain about it.
Because as Congresswoman Maxine Waters has explained, political protests staged on behalf of Donald Trump are not constitutionally protected.
They're domestic terrorism.
Watch.
This is Donald Trump sending messages out to domestic terrorists that he's worked with and he helped to organize for the invasion of the Capitol on January 5th.
He's sending out a message to them to get ready to protest any arrests, indictments, etc.
that he may have.
So he's basically talking to the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, QAnon, KKK.
Oh, January 6th.
The only really organized group on January 6th was the FBI, of course.
But consider the idea and where it's coming from.
This is Maxine Waters.
This is the lady who cheered on the L.A.
race riots three decades ago.
This is the very same person who just a few years ago said, and we're quoting, if you see anybody from the Trump cabinet in a restaurant, in an apartment store, at a gasoline station, she's very old, get out and create a crowd.
And you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore.
Anywhere.
Basically necklace them.
Okay, Maxine Waters.
But she's a Democrat, so this is just a civil rights exercise.
She's protected from domestic terrorism charges.
And Alvin Bragg is too.
He's a Democrat.
And you should know, we don't want to impugn his character or anything.
We don't want to suggest that there's a connection between politics and the indictment of Donald Trump.
But Alvin Bragg did run for office promising, as a campaign promise, to indict Donald Trump.
We're not guessing.
He gave televised interviews about it.
Watch.
All right, so newspaper reports today say we could expect to see an indictment to be handed down against Donald Trump soon.
Any thoughts on how you would handle such a high-profile case?
Certainly, throughout my career, I've gone wherever the facts have taken me.
And the types of allegations that have been reported publicly, valuation of assets, perhaps the use of shell companies, tax fraud, I did.
I've done all these sort of cases.
I've tried a mortgage fraud case.
I've tried one of the most significant money laundering cases in the New York region.
So, of all the candidates, I sort of stand at the ready with all the tools in the toolkit.
Yeah, we're gonna go after Trump.
And by the way, he listed some real crimes there.
And they have spent years trying to pin those crimes on Trump.
They even got his tax returns.
Illegally.
And they found none of them.
Not in defense of Trump, just true.
So we wind up with this, which is piddling.
But what's interesting is even as Bragg has been single-mindedly focused, Bragg a graduate of Harvard College, on Donald Trump and his crimes, sending money to a porn star, He has been not only ignoring real crimes, but downgrading felonies to misdemeanors and letting actual violent criminals out of jail as quickly as possible.
On his first day in office, first day, Bragg, consistent with the ideas of the man who paid for his campaign, George Soros, issued a memo explaining his office will, quote, not seek a cursorial sentence except in cases involving homicides, economic crimes, and a small number of felonies.
That was great news for people who commit violent felonies, including rapists like Justin Washington.
Washington struck a deal with Bragg that allowed him to serve just 30 days in jail under the theory that his rape was really just second-degree coercion.
So he got out quickly, and when he did, police say this same man sexually attacked five other people in the Bronx.
He even tried to rape a homeless woman at 10 in the morning.
Okay.
So in another case, a career criminal who was arrested three times in four months for serious crimes, including assault and aggravated harassment, skipped court.
And when police finally found him and hauled him to court, Bragg's office let him go in January of last year.
Guess what he did when he got out?
He murdered a woman.
A growing makeshift memorial in front of a New York City apartment building, honoring Christina Yuna Lee, after police say a man followed her home and attacked her, stabbing her to death.
This security video, obtained by NBC News, appears to show Lee being followed by the suspect.
When they arrived, the door was barricaded.
When cops went into the apartment, investigators say they found the body of a 35-year-old woman, later identified as Lee, in her bathroom, and the suspect covered in blood.
Police say Osama Nash was arrested and charged with Lee's murder.
This was his eighth arrest since May of 2021.
What's interesting is that no one cares.
Where's Joe Scarborough on that?
Is he upset about it?
Is his wife upset?
Power to women!
Right.
All the arch feminists who should be out there defending women, they don't care at all.
So here you have a DA who treats violent felonies like they're misdemeanors, even when it gets people killed, who's unleashing criminals on the population, but then spending all of his time trying to destroy his political opponents.
In this case, elevating a misdemeanor charge to a felony for the purpose of taking down Trump.
Now here's what we think, if there is an indictment, will form the core of the charge.
Bragg seems to be alleging that Trump violated New York's Business Record Act By falsely reporting the payout to Stormy Daniels as, quote, legal fees.
Now, if this were true, it would constitute a misdemeanor, and the statute of limitations has already run out for that, for the bookkeeping error.
Assuming it even happened.
But Bragg apparently is thinking about charging Trump under a felony version of the business records law, one that punishes businesses for falsifying records as a way to commit another separate crime.
That would be the campaign finance violation, which, as we mentioned, was not a campaign finance violation, and we know that from the FEC, which polices campaign finance violations.
And by the way, if it were, then that would be a federal crime, not something that Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA, would be prosecuting.
The whole thing doesn't make any sense at all.
On a legal level, on a political level, it does, because Trump is running for president.
So what's behind this?
Is he acting alone?
We may soon find out.
Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, is calling on Bragg to testify before the Congress.
He wants to hear Bragg explain whether or not he's had any contact with the White House or the Biden DOJ.
And if he has, maybe that will explain these charges.
He also wants to know whether this prosecution will use any federal funds.
Let's hope Alvin Bragg, who is committed to the rule of law, complies or is forced to comply very soon.
But no matter what happens, if this indictment arrives, no matter who you voted for or plan on voting for, make no mistake, this is a turning point for the country.
Now the headline here is not that they're being unfair to Donald Trump again, though of course they are, or even that Trump is the former president of the United States.
Who cares?
I mean, though as long as we are indicting retired presidents, where are the charges against George W. Bush for invading Iraq under false pretenses and giving permanent normalized trade relations to China, which completely wrecked our economy?
Where are those charges?
Don't hold your breath.
In Washington, wrecking your own country is not considered a crime.
And of course, George W. Bush knows that well, which is why he doesn't seem worried at all.
Criticizing the ruling class, that's what they indict you for.
But either way, Donald Trump's former job as President of the United States is not really the point here.
Yes, of course you can indict former presidents if they've done something wrong.
That's not what this is about.
The headline here is that there is, as noted, a presidential race in progress right now.
And if you check the polls, you will find that Trump is leading the Republican field.
That's the unprecedented thing.
Taking out your opponent using the justice system.
If the Democratic Party is allowed to do this, allowed to crush the presidential frontrunner, the main threat to their power, with a bogus criminal case, where does that leave us?
We're done!
Because that precedent will live forever.
And voters will never again determine the outcome of a presidential election.
It's remarkable when you think about it.
So after all the yelling from permanent Washington about January 6th and how it was a threat to our democratic norms and the peaceful transfer of power, they've decided to completely short circuit our democratic norms, not to mention the peaceful transfer of power, using the courts and prosecutors.
What happens if they get away with this?
No one seems to be thinking this through.
Everyone's all spun up.
But what happens if they get away with this?
If they use the Justice Department, in full view of everyone, to settle a political score and to keep the White House?
Just to take a guy out of the race who seems to be doing fairly well?
We'll destroy the justice system.
And that's not a small thing.
A functioning justice system has kept this country peaceful for hundreds of years.
The purpose of a justice system is to administer justice so that citizens don't have to do it themselves.
You outsource that duty to the government.
But what happens when you take that away?
When there is no justice system?
What happens when the Department of Justice decides that its goal is not justice, but protecting the ruling class at all costs?
Think about that.
People are still going to demand justice.
The desire for justice is an inherent human desire.
We are born with it.
But if there's no neutral place to do it, some people will decide they're going to have to do it themselves.
Ooh.
Now, we don't know exactly what that's going to look like, but we can say for certain it's going to be really ugly.
That was just Tucker at his absolute best, Michael.
Sometimes he's so good.
Your thoughts?
Well, let's go all the way back to DeSantis at the top of the story, and I've heard a lot of people say a lot of different things about this, and I liked the fact that Vivek Ramaswamy came out from the get-go and said, I call upon Nikki Haley and DeSantis to speak on this, how unfair it is, and how this is clearly a cooked-up political issue.
I would agree that DeSantis' response has been pretty lukewarm, but I have a feeling the reason he's doing that is because he has a suspicion Which I have.
Which is that this isn't going to actually work.
And it will collapse for all of the reasons that Tucker just explained.
But that doesn't matter to the Democratic Party and the Deep State, which is behind this.
Listen, if I was Alvin Bragg, I would be very worried about my own personal political career.
On one hand, when you've got guys like Soros funding your campaign and a completely Twisted electoral system, which we have currently.
On one hand, you might say, well, he's not in danger.
But I think that things like this, when they collapse, dude, you're the fall guy.
You're the one that's going to get thrown under the bus.
You think the Democratic Party cares about Alvin Bragg?
And I believe that Alvin Bragg should absolutely be investigated just as fully as Donald Trump, you know?
And yeah, he needs to answer some questions, just as they're making Donald Trump do it.
And if I was him, I would not be too confident about the outcome of the situation.
I don't think that this will ultimately pan out to be anything.
I think it'll be just like Mar-a-Lago.
It'll just be like the two impeachment issues.
And then they'll roll out something else.
And then they'll have someone else carry that flag as well.
This is non-stop.
It will go on until the election.
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I just don't think that this is going to work, and I think it's an absolute disgrace that this is happening, and that our justice system has been this openly weaponized against one man, while on the other hand, we look at the Bidens, and the Clintons, and the Bushes, and all these other things that have gone on with all those folks, but Trump's the bad guy.
By God, we're gonna get in this time!
Great comments, Michael.
I agree 100%.
Some suspect it's even a distraction from evidence coming out about the Biden crime family.
100%!
You know, they're doing their best to distract attention.
Meanwhile, there's a leaked email from the Manhattan D.A.
The investigation to charge him has taken nearly five years.
He faces dissent over the direction of Trump investigations, where those views were being aired by his predecessor, Cyrus Vance Jr., in a new book.
Vance started the tax investigation against Trump.
AP reported Bragg had decided not to proceed immediately, citing concerns about the strength of the case.
Pressure to bring one to court prompted him to move forward last year, and he won a tax case against a Trump company.
He's now, of course, conveying a new grand jury to find charges against Trump, focusing on payments he allegedly made to two women in 2016, with rumors the arrest would happen yesterday.
According to Fox, a court source reported the meeting was requested last Thursday but has yet to be scheduled for the purpose of meeting with law enforcement about the logistics of arresting and picking up Trump.
A spokesperson for Trump, Stephen Chung, issued a statement to Fox criticizing Bragg, calling his investigation a witch hunt, that Bragg was under the influence of Biden and radical Democrats.
President Donald J. Trump is completely innocent.
He did nothing wrong.
Even the biggest, most radical left Democrats are making that clear.
Get this list!
From Russia, Russia, Russia, to the Mueller hoax, to impeachment hoaxes one and two, even the unlawful Mar-a-Lago raid.
Democrats have investigated and attacked President Trump since before he was elected, and they failed every time.
Meeting the accusations head-on, the former president responded in a furious, posted-on-truth socialist statement.
Now illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan district attorney's office, which has allowed new records to be sent in violent crime, and whose leader is funded by George Soros, indicate that With no crime being able to be proven, based on an old and fully debunked by numerous other prosecutors fairy tale, the far and away leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States will be arrested on Tuesday of next week.
That would have been yesterday.
Protest.
Take our nation back.
Taking to work protests to mean the need for law enforcement.
Some agencies are preparing for a potential indictment.
Now an email leak shows what's on his mind.
Our law enforcement partner will ensure any specific or credible threats against the office will be fully investigated, that the proper safeguards are in place so all 1,600 of us have a secure work environment.
Here's the full email from the district attorney.
The office for the finest public servants in the country.
I'm committed to maintain a safe work environment.
In the meantime, we'll continue to apply the law evenly and fairly.
You have question or concern, contact your supervisor.
Baba.
He said, as with all our investigation, we'll continue to apply the law evenly and fairly.
He did not mention the former president's name or reference public comments surrounding an ongoing investigation.
In an eerie reprise of the protesting the 2020 election peacefully, it appears the DA's office is getting ready to imply anyone exercising the right to protest an unjust arrest peacefully will be a criminal problem rather than Americans exercising freedom of speech.
Conservatives point out an interesting situation might be that if Trump decides to fight extradition from Florida to New York, the person who would have to sign the papers to be extradited would be Governor DeSantis, who has not yet announced his candidacy for president, but has been pulling neck and neck.
Actually, the latest polls show Trump way ahead of DeSantis.
Well, there's no legal waiver that says to stop the extradition.
An insider reported the indictment and the charges are not going to go away, said a Florida attorney, Tamara Holder.
This is an early stage of a criminal proceeding.
It's very important you present yourself to the court early on if somebody is going to fight the case and not fight the extradition.
Our governor doesn't have the power to stop the extradition.
His only involvement is to look at the papers and make sure they're proper to issue the warrant.
I continue here, where Michael Cohen is far from solid evidence, according to his former legal advisor Robert Costello, who appeared as a star witness before the grand jury by his own request.
And get this.
Trump Grand Jury probed not meeting for the day.
That's today.
Here's the latest.
The Manhattan Grand Jury investigating former President Trump over hush money payments will not meet Wednesday.
Today.
Despite that being one of the days when the panel ordinarily convenes, the Grand Jury were told to be on standby for Thursday.
Tomorrow.
The reason for the postponement wasn't immediately clear.
But it would indicate a vote on whether or not to indict Trump will be at least temporarily pushed back.
Those that confirmed the grand jury would not be meeting the schedule were not authorized to discuss those details on the record and thus spoke only on condition of anonymity.
The development comes of mounting signs of the grand jury, probing, payments of signs of a porn actor who said she had a sexual encounter with Trump is nearing the completion of its work.
And Michael, let me just say that he pointed out he gave 600 pages of evidence to substantiate that Cohen had said they had nothing on Trump that the attorney, the district attorney, did not share with the grand jury.
I mean, this is stunning, your thoughts.
They are playing for all the marbles, right?
And the deal is, it's like, right now they're trying to suck all the air out of the room.
I don't think that they even think that this is going to work, but that doesn't matter.
That absolutely does not matter.
It's like, let's dominate all of the air time, and let's take all of the subject off the fact that we're facing a giant recession, which I think, I think we've been in for a while, man.
You and I have been doing this game a long time.
I think we've been in the recession for a while.
It's just now we gotta admit that we're actually in it.
We're on the precipice of a potential Global War, which is ratcheting up every day.
Note our first story of this segment about the depleted uranium.
We've got massive financial issues with the Biden family themselves.
So all they're doing is trying to take your eyes off the bigger game and the bigger set of problems with Orange Man Bad ad infinitum, day in, day out.
Doesn't matter how this plays out.
I mean, the way they look at it, like, look, if it works, Woo-hoo!
Awesome.
If it doesn't work, we don't care.
Throw Bragg under the bus and we'll try it out something else.
One more of our foot soldiers in some other city.
We will play this out however we have to do this, and we will do this until the election.
And then if Trump were to win, or if DeSantis or whomever wins, we will just continue on with our demonization of the right, but especially if it's Donald Trump.
I think Costello threw a monkey wrench into the whole works, Michael.
It was already a flimsy case.
It had no substance.
But he's going forward without sharing all that exculpatory material, demonstrating that Cohen was committing perjury to the grand jury.
I think Meg's own future would be hanging in the balance.
I think he could be prosecuted and disbarred for this kind of action.
So I now believe that they are not going to indict.
The whole idea, however, was merely to get photographs of Trump mugshots and fingerprints.
That's what they were after, I think, a PR stunt.
I agree completely.
Here we go.
Meanwhile, the CDC warns of a dangerous fungal infection spreading through the air, so now they're going to vary from viral to fungal.
The three main, you know, forms of life here, the viruses, the funguses, and the bacteria, and it looks to me like they're playing games.
The CDC warning of an increasingly drug-resistant fungus, a serious global health threat, of course.
Candida auris is a rare fungal disease, easily spread through contact.
For person-to-person or contaminated surfaces, severe illness, hospitalized, weakened immune systems, Rarely, these can enter the bloodstream, spread throughout the body, causing invasive candiditis infections, which can affect the blood, heart, brain, eye, bone, and other parts of the body.
This is the kind of thing you can use to alarm the population.
Data from a limited number of patients show 30-60% of those diagnosed have died.
When they say a limited number of patients, this could be, say, 10!
Healthy people don't.
The CDC is concerned for three main reasons.
It's multi-drug resistant, hard to identify, and it rapidly causes outbreaks.
Additionally, those hospitalized for a long period of time, especially breathing tubes, feeding tubes, central venous catheters, going into their body appear at the highest rate of contracting it.
Other risks seem to be similar for other forms, including, of course, having had recent surgery, diabetes, antibiotic use, or antifungal.
Infections of this, also referred to as C. aureus, have been found in patients of all ages.
According to the data, the drug-resistant fungus, first detected in the U.S.
in 2016, has been spreading at an alarming rate.
There were 2,377 confirmed cases in 2022, up from 1,474 in 2021, 757 in 2020.
It's now present in more than half of those states.
cases in 2022, up from 1,474 in 2021, 757 in 2020.
It's now present in more than half of the states.
Separate data published in Annals of Internal Medicine in Barge found that screening cases in which the focus is detected but not causing infection tripled from 2020 to 2021.
They've said it's concerned about the trembling, Also that the number has risen for multiple reasons, including poor general infection prevention control practices, blah, blah.
The timing may be worsened due to strain on health care because of COVID.
Rapid rise in geographical spread is concerning.
It was first identified in 2009 in Japan.
Right now, the WHO is on the fungal priority pathogen list of life-threatening fungi.
Emerging evidence indicates incidence geographical range are both expanding worldwide and the increase of international travel and trade.
CDC says screening can help protect people from the increased risk of infection.
Despite concerns, Dr. Ashley Webbs, an infectious disease physician at Ohio State, told Healthline the majority of cases are still treatable with antifungal medications.
In other words, Michael, it's another easily treatable disease.
Just so we could use HEQ and ivermectin to get rid of the coronavirus.
There was no increase in any age groups from the pandemic.
It's all been from the facts.
Your thoughts?
Those are my thoughts.
The first thing I thought of as I was reading those first couple paragraphs is, A, why is this fungus drug resistant?
And why are we suddenly more prone to illness, not only from it, but from other things?
Could it be That we've downgraded the human immune system on a global level with the Emergency Use Authorization, mRNA vaccines.
I think that's the case.
Right now, at my daughter's school, and there's all these kids are getting COVID again.
And they're all, you know, vaccinated to the gills.
And I worry, I worry for young people.
Well, actually all over the globe, where these vaccines were rolled out, if we have now Just completely downgraded our human immune system through the use of these reckless vaccines.
And when I hear this thing about this fungus and look, I'm not trying to necessarily downplay that this fungus is something that we should take seriously, but you have to take it.
Consider you have to take it seriously within.
Listen, there's 330 million people in the United States, and there's a lot of different things that can make people sick.
So before we roll out this new, you know, fear porn about this fungus, which, coincidentally, as you were reading that story, I thought about, you know, what's the big hit that's on HBO Max right now?
Aha!
It's about killer mushrooms.
The Last of Us.
It's about this endemic, dystopian future in which the, uh, I don't remember, Cordyceps mushroom begins to take over human hosts and they become zombies.
You know, so, I mean, they're just rolling it out.
Is this coincidence?
You know, I'm not going to speculate, but I'll leave you to, you know, what you think.
But yeah, it's just constantly scare, scare, scare.
This will make you sick.
This will kill you.
You need to stay home.
You need to take our vaccines.
You need to limit your mobility.
We're going to need to remove some of your rights.
Just be scared all the time.
And then when they talk about some of the people that are more likely to get this, it sounds again like all the people who are already being Hospitalized for COVID when they were talking about, and I'm trying to find the paragraph here, but the people, you know, who are intubated, et cetera, who've been in hospitals for long periods of time, and that's nothing new.
You could get staph infections.
There's all kinds of things that can happen once you're hospitalized.
Once you're in that environment, and they're just on you full tilt.
You're in kind of a petri dish of things that can possibly happen.
So when the CDC is telling me to get worried about a fungus, listen, my response to that is, you know what?
I'm just going to keep being healthy.
I need to monitor what I eat and drink and how I live my life.
And I'm not going to worry about this sudden fungus.
Excellent comments, Michael.
Yeah, invasion of the lethal mushrooms.
This stuff is not coincidental.
I'm convinced it's 100% coordinated, a form of predictive programming.
Meanwhile, is the U.S.
funding an experiment in digital control in the Ukraine?
Fighting's been going on over a year now.
Hundreds of thousands have died.
Ukraine's defense minister invited Western arms manufacturers to test their newest weapons against Russia in Ukraine.
Is anything else being tested there, we might ask?
They seem pretty willing.
To use their citizens as guinea pigs.
The government seemed pretty willing to foot the bill.
What else may be going on?
Actually, Zelensky became President of Ukraine in May of 2019 and almost immediately introduced his idea of a country and a smartphone.
In early September of that year, the Ministry of Digital Transformation, headed by a WEF participant, according to him, the goal of the new government department was to streamline government services, easier to apply for driver's license, passports, and so on.
Of course, that's stuff to soft-soap and make it sound as though it's for your benefit.
Ukraine has long held the reputation of Europe's most corrupt country.
Young politicians like this guy want to take advantage of new technology to advance.
So in early February 2020, the government launched its dApp for smartphones, Developed by volunteers from EPAM system, DIA has been touted as a way to streamline government services, allowing Ukraine to become the first European nation to accord digital passports and digital driver's licenses.
He reported in 2020 the one a fourth of the Ukraine population was using, and it was gaining popularity.
By January 2023, about half of the adult Ukrainian population was reported to be taking advantage of it.
There is a positive side to streamlined government services.
It allows Ukrainians to start new businesses, making required government paperwork easy.
I can see this having an appeal.
Within a year of its launch, millions found this in their personal data, driver's license, and so forth.
However, social media information and banking were being traded online.
There's always been the risk of losing your wallet and your driver's license with everything, but with everything online, the risk has increased astronomically.
Early on, Zelinsky talked about streamlining the voting process.
The fact that experts have never agreed about the safety of online voting, and we know it's totally corrupt.
Zelensky, by July of 2022, had banned political opposition parties and shut down media with alternative views, demonstrating his commitment to freedom and democracy, which is why we're there to support him enthusiastically.
Controlling elections, however, is only the beginning.
Deal launched in 2020 by March 2020 helped the Ukrainian government enforce its lockdown policies.
Here you see the man behind democracy and freedom in Ukraine.
The report shows that Washington-based WEF Summits has a clip of a paper showing that digital identity determines what product, services, and information we can access, or conversely, what is closed off to us.
DIA has been marketed as a convenience, but don't be fooled.
Developers have seen their potential as a control mechanism from the beginning.
The report shows clips of this guy speaking at the World Economic Forum openly admitting the pandemic allowed the Ukrainian government to speed up Ukraine's digital transformation.
The pandemic has accelerated our progress.
People are really now demanding online digital services.
People have no choice but to trust technology.
Today's transformation from a convenient service to a military tool has been discussed as well.
We have restructured the Ministry of Digital Transformation into a clear military organization.
Shortly after the Russian invasion, He added all kinds of new wartime features.
You can report Russian troop movements.
You can receive government payments.
He doesn't stop there.
Encourage citizens to snitch on their neighbors.
Anonymously accuse others of being Russian collaborators.
Stalin's rule, of course, demonstrated how wrong this can go.
Ukrainians hate Stalin, and rightfully so.
By using cutting-edge technology to encourage the same kind of community-destroying snitching is a page right out of his playbook.
Between the snitching and its unofficial government-approved news station, he is rapidly becoming stolen in a smartphone.
In case you're wondering why we in America should care, there are two big reasons.
The first is Americans have been paying for much of the technical development.
The second, government in a smartphone is rapidly spreading around the world.
USAID has been supporting Ukraine's digital transformation.
After the Russian invasion, they gave another 8.5 mil to Ukraine to develop it.
Samantha Power, a disgusting person, spoke at the WEF in 2023, touting DIA's success.
They talked about What had happened?
Sharing the model with other countries.
Samantha Power, by the way, is married to Cass Sunstein, the other nudge, and a number of other books which are pro-social manipulation.
He's the guy who recommended infiltration into truth-seeking groups to destroy them from within.
Power has stated the USAID intends to look for leaders in developing nations that have been running on anti-corruption platforms and sharing deal-like technology to help them modernize their countries, but we know where that's going.
All this sounds very loving and charitable, but it's impossible to ignore the financial incentives.
The U.S.
got a giant job when lockdowns were enforced in 2020 and 2021.
The U.S.
digital transformation was still already wealthy tech companies making them even wealthier.
Lovers of free market economics point out that increased technological ability is Raising a rising wave that lifts everyone, it can be true, but do most people, you know, are they 50% richer than before the pandemic?
Probably not.
Our lives have been getting pushed everywhere more onto the internet.
Some people profit, but others find their quality of life decreases.
Combining the shift to a digital world with reconstruction after wartime destruction, you can see vast opportunities for profit.
Estimating rebuilding Ukraine is going to cost over a trillion.
Zelensky and BlackRock have already come to an agreement about managing the rebuilding.
USAID may be charitable, but BlackRock ain't.
Ukraine's in the process of being destroyed and being rebuilt.
It's going to be hugely profitable for certain people, and Big Tech seems on tech intent on getting its slice of the pie.
This is a new Smedley Butler Medal of Honor, actually two-time recipient, Marine Corps General, or as a racket back in the 1930s, full of examples of industries generating huge wartime profits and using the military to advance.
For profiteering isn't new and isn't a conspiracy.
It's human nature.
It goes on endlessly.
There's no reason to doubt the same powerful big tech figures will continue to push the expansion of their businesses online.
Maybe some emerging markets will be helped by data like apps, but what about countries that already had reasonably safe and secure government services?
Will they be pushed onto a smartphone too?
It's likely, though not imminent.
The Improving Digital Identity Act of 2021 in Congress right now.
Senate version actually states the government cannot require digital identity for any kind of transaction.
But I guarantee you that's going to pass.
It will be reversed.
Americans are relatively concerned about privacy.
Many concerns surround central bank digital currencies, but it's all going to proceed apace, and so far as I can tell, unabated.
Michael, your thoughts?
It was a few weeks ago when I was on your show last, and it seemed like at the end of that episode, we were openly hypothesizing, well, wait a minute.
Is there something afoot in Ukraine similar to this besides all of the other carnage that has occurred?
And we were talking about the digital IDs and the ghetto, the algorithm ghetto, which could result from this.
And this article seems to confirm that that's precisely exactly what's happening.
And then this person from the Zelensky regime saying to U.S.
interests, the government and weapons makers, hey, Come on down, man.
You've got tech.
Bring it in.
You can test it here.
This is not good.
It's not surprising, but it's just like COVID in that let no tragedy or catastrophe go to waste, whatever the old saying was.
So, under the guise of this humanitarian crisis, yeah, we're going to usher in, you know, This digital identity and this government by cell phone, which I've actually heard that term.
It concerns me.
I don't like it, but I think that we're already partially there.
We are completely manipulated by social media and by what we read on our cell phone or what we are afraid to say.
In the workplace or in social circles, so they're planning all of these ideas in our heads, and then, you know, you're afraid to go against that.
Not only that, if you do say something against it, well then, what kind of records are being kept, which will eventually affect your social credit score down the road.
So, you know, it's a very sophisticated game on one hand, but it's not so sophisticated for your audience, people like us.
We can see this quite clearly that this is what's happening.
It's just very disconcerting to see confirmation of that.
Yeah, very good, Michael.
Yes, yes, I agree across the board.
Meanwhile, climate scientists who once warned about melting roads says predictions were not wrong, claims the climate activists have averted disaster.
Well, we can't thank them for that.
Climate scientists have been worrying about climate change for more than a decade, says more work must be done.
...on Earth's temperature about its rise, because it's changing and loading the weather dice against humanity, ignoring the role of HAARP, for example, of weather manipulation, and that the whole thing is based on pseudo-scientific claims about the role of CO2 in affecting the temperature, which do not exist over Hundreds of millions of years of Earth's history.
Appearing on PBS NewsHour, a scientist from Texas Tech, Catherine Hayhoe, discussed climate prediction, praising the work of the Paris Climate Agreement, alleging it has slowed the increase in global temperature by at least one degree.
She commented on past false predictions, insisting they were not actually wrong, and would have been true if action had not been taken.
The previous predictions were not wrong, and certainly is us.
The predictions were what will happen, depending on the choices we make.
Prior to the Paris Agreement in 2015, the world was heading toward a future that was between 4 and 5 degrees Celsius warmer than today.
We have already, thanks to the agreement, reduced the amount of change we can expect by at least one degree, but we still need more, because every bit of warming carries a cost with it.
Hayhoe has a long history of climate change predictions stemming all the way back to 2011, when she was set to write a chapter in a former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich book until the chapter was scrapped.
At the time, she claimed there was no debate about the reality of climate change and that humans are the primary cause.
In 2015, she said explaining more data points was not a correct approach, claiming every person intrinsically cares about climate change.
More facts are not going to change the problem, she said.
Nearly every human on the planet has the values they need to care about climate change.
We just need to connect the dots.
2018!
She warned of increasing temperatures, causing droughts and water scarcity.
You see, roads melting, airplanes unable to take off, not enough water.
In 2023, the site is still warned of warming temperatures causing disastrous results in the early 2030s, a claim echoed by Alexandria Occasional Cortex, who said the world was going to end around 2030.
We're already seeing the impact of the way climate change is loading the weather dice.
We know we've always had floods and droughts and hurricanes and heat waves, but in a warming world, they're getting stronger and more dangerous.
Climate change is no longer a future issue.
It's right here where we live.
It's right now.
And a time to fix it is also here and now.
Meanwhile, we'll go ahead and comment about that one, Michael, before we turn to our next and final story, I think.
This woman, who I've never heard of until now, and that spoke, or she's from Texas Tech.
I mean, good Lord.
And forgive me if we brought this up before, but listen, pollution and climate change should be two different things, okay?
So, we should be good stewards of the planet.
But climate change, that has always happened, man.
This is a dynamic system that we live on, okay?
So, the Earth is constantly changing.
The climate is changing.
We should not be bad stewards and just throw litter down everywhere and make a mess, but at the same time, this idea that man-made climate change in the face of underwater torn volcanoes and things of this stage, what are you going to do?
You're going to tax a volcano?
In the beginning of 2022, late 2021, early 2022, there was an underwater volcano off the coast of Tonga.
And I can't even, I don't have the notes in front of me.
I covered this on my old show quite a bit.
The amount, this thing came and went.
We in the West didn't even know about it because it's underwater, it's in Tonga, whatever, you know.
But this was a gigantic atmospheric event in which metric tons of volume of methane and all kinds of things were spread into the atmosphere.
It is said a result of that one volcano itself could have Impact on the on the climate for coming 30 years.
Now this woman, on the other hand, is lecturing us about CO2 and things like this, and somehow, you know, we have averted how drastic the climate change could be by these actions that we've made.
That is absurd, but of course she's going to say that because her continued vocation in academia depends on her I'm being aligned with the narrative, so this kind of thing really irritates me.
We've got some serious issues afoot, and I don't know how long it will take people to understand this, but she can piss right off as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, yeah, that's my preliminary impression, too, Michael, that she's a science fraud, that she's a tool of an industry that wants to make lots of money, perhaps of the electric car industry.
Meanwhile, the collapsed bank, that would be SVB, gave gender-pronounced lecture five months before the disaster.
When Silicon Valley Bank failed, clients were so alarmed they withdrew over $10 billion in deposit, prompting the government to take over Signature Bank, too, making it the third greatest bank failure in U.S.
history.
180 days before its failure, the chairman of Signature Bank, Scott Shea, sponsored a workplace conference during which employees were educated on how to pronounce gender-neutral pronouns.
Maybe their time could have been better spent on other issues such as banking.
Employees learn how to pronounce the and her among other crucial pronouns.
According to Shane, Signature Bank was the first in the United States to have an openly homosexual on the board.
A reference to the late Democrat representative from Massachusetts, Barney Frank.
Signature ran a social impact series, one of which was to learn all about brown hounds.
The symposium featured Genderqueer transmasculine person, Finn Brigham, a corporate counsel on gender issues headquartered in Manhattan.
Brigham instructed the employees on the correct usage of a plethora of saying, I don't know whether there's anyone at Signature Bank World, but undoubtedly you have customers who use they, them as pronouns.
The pronouns are chosen to be neutral with regard to gender.
The is another that doesn't specify gender.
That's why we say things like that.
The other half of it is her, H-I-R.
We, just as we said the other day, Signature Bank has been criticized for spending millions on cringeworthy woke music videos and TV programs about themselves, leading some to wonder whether the money might have been better invested elsewhere.
When the bank shut out President Trump's accounts after the event at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, it showed its devotion to regime narratives.
Maybe we should learn we shouldn't invest our money in weak banks, but because they're all basically the same, that's not easy to do.
We do have another story, but go ahead, Michael, on this.
Well, I was just going to say, you know, we're taping this on Wednesday, so I guess within the last hour, our boy Jerome has probably announced a 25 basis point increase.
And Siri is listening to me as usual.
This bugs me.
So, the banking industry, this is a major concern.
The recession is a major concern.
The Fed Drop the ball from the get-go, and I heard somebody saying today, I believe it was the co-founder or original founder of Home Depot.
He was saying that our current Fed should all resign.
I don't necessarily disagree with that, but in the case of these woke banks, it's like, listen, man, your responsibility is to your depositors.
You're not in social, what's the word?
This is not a social issue.
There's other portions of our society that deal with those kind of things.
Your job is to manage the money of depositors.
That is your link in the chain.
That should be your first and only real responsibility.
Leave these other things to other portions of society to discover.
This whole woke bank thing is, if I was a depositor there, I'd be super pissed off.
I'm like, no, man, just manage my money and make my money safe.
We will deal with these other issues elsewhere.
And then when they start getting ultra political by disbarring or removing Trump's financial aspects to be political, I don't know, the whole thing just makes me sick.
And unfortunately, I think this is systemic in a larger aspect than we're even recognizing.
And right now we talk about their incompetence of these banks as being partly because of their focus on this woke mentality.
But I think it goes further than that.
So I think it's a mixture of ideology and incompetence, and it ain't good, man.
Yeah, no, I agree.
I think all your points are spot on.
Meanwhile, Ah, yes.
We have, uh, Mike King of the Anti-New York Times talking about the charges against Trump.
March 20th, 2023, New York Times.
Prosecutors signal criminal charges for Trump are likely.
Trump claims his arrest is imminent.
Calls for protests echoing January 6th.
His indictment is expected, but his timing is unclear.
Anti-New York Times writes, Donald Trump citing an anonymous legal leak got true social buzzing with the announcement of imminent indictment and arrest, along with a call for an uprising should it happen.
The drama has since built over into the real world with the leaders of the new far-right Congress rallying to his call in the fake news, now warning of another January 6th.
A few of our more nervous readers have already written to the breathlessly expressed concern and confusion over this latest drama.
Oh my God, Mike!
The deep state is making its move against Trump.
This will be There will be riots and a false flag.
Meanwhile, here in the basement bunker office of the editorial board of the N.I.
New York Times, the smiling premier to your sentiment is, Sherry, put another bag of popcorn in the microwave, will you, dear?
Trump's self-directed movie is really getting good.
Trump is absolutely loving this drama because he is the one directing it, just as he did the raid at Mar-a-Lago last year.
What exactly is Trump's angle here?
It's simple.
He knows that every Republican voter, plus a supermajority of the mushy middle independents, even a minority of libtards, will not approve of any indictment, let alone an actual arrest.
Normie Numb is bored with a tiresome witch hunt and would view such an event as petty and political on the part of the demon rats.
Were Trump to actually be arrested, the organized backlash coming from his supporters would have no resistance to it, casting his role as sympathetic living martyr.
Trump would be perfectly positioned to unload the mother of all counter-punishments.
We cannot say with certainty that the script—and that's exactly what we're dealing with here, a White Hat script—will actually have Trump being arrested on Tuesday, as he claims, which of course we know did not happen.
But we will say this.
If indeed Trump is ever arrested, the ensuing events will play right into his or our hands.
And if that happens, no, it will not be an unintended consequence, aka a blowback, no.
The Trump backlash and comeback, arrest or not, were planned that way a long time ago.
Popcorn's ready!
The arrest of Trump would have the immediate effect of firing up an expansionist base while making him a sympathetic and more popular figure.
That would position him for a rabid political comeback.
He's actually still president upon his release, much like the Great One was in 1925.
Could an indictment actually help Trump's 2024 campaign?
Trump critics slam the looming indictment as nonsense.
Partisans say it'll help him in 2024.
Bubas Americanas at the water cooler.
I read in the New York Times that Trump might be arrested tomorrow.
Bubas Americanas second.
I don't like Trump either, but that would be ridiculous and uncalled for.
St.
Sugar, arrest Trump.
Michael, your thoughts?
I've heard people say that, you know, Trump is behind this.
No, I don't think he's behind this.
I think he's reacting to a situation in a, I mean, look, I think this is coming from the deep state, coming from the left, coming from the anti-Trump crowd, you know, and this is just one, this is just the latest link in the chain.
This is the latest chapter of the story.
But I think Trump recognizes it like, well, as long as it's happening, I'm going to try to use this to my advantage.
So yes, it will.
Michael, I agree completely.
of his base.
No question.
He knows that.
I do have to ask, you know, where are these leaks coming from?
You know, where are the leaks coming from?
And really, that should be addressed.
But I don't think that Trump is behind this.
I don't think it's like 40 chess or something like that.
I think he's just a very smart man.
These are the cards he's been dealt.
And so he plays it.
This is the way that he's playing it.
I would probably do the same.
Michael, I agree completely.
Democrats are overplaying their hand as they've done again and again and again.
Nothing surprising here.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you.
Send fan mail, pro or con, to live-need-to-know-at-gmail.com.
Live-need-to-know-at-gmail.com.
Here we have a couple of images that seem to fit, today being the 22nd of March.
Skull and bones, same number, 322.
Breaking.
Well, it didn't happen, and I suspect it was the attorney Costello who threw the whole thing askew.
Secret Service make an arrangement for his submission of residence in the New York court the following week.
Well, it didn't happen.
And I suspect it was the attorney Costello who threw the whole thing askew.
Michael, your final thoughts?
Well, I think that they're just going to continue onward.
And I think that, you know, the downside for them is like they, well, you know, if this doesn't work out, we throw Bragg under the bus and we just move on to the next thing.
I think that's exactly what's going on here.
This will never end.
We will drum up something else if this doesn't work out.
So it's all upside in their view, you know.
Meanwhile, they're taking the focus off of the Biden situation, which The major media doesn't want to cover anyway, so I think they just see it as all upside with very little downside.
Doesn't work out.
We move on to the next thing.
All hands on board.
Ignore the recession.
Ignore the banking crisis.
Ignore the issues that we have in Ukraine.
Ignore the fact that we have decided not to mediate, but in fact invigorate.
At the end of the day, just always blame Trump.
You don't need policy, just blame Trump.
Orange man bad, that is their policy.
Well, Michael Parker, thank you.
We're just excellent today.
I'm really pleased with all your comments.
We're in virtually 100% agreement across the board.
James, I think a lot of other people agree with us as well, and I didn't mean to, like, butt in, but I think there's a lot of people who think the way that we think, and it's just, there's two movies going on right now.
There's the movie in which As long as Orange Man bad, you know, he's not president and we're convicting him or moving against him, all of these other things we could turn a blind eye to.
That includes, you know, potential nuclear war, the corruption of the executive and judicial branches, all of that ain't no big thing.
Recession, eh, at least we don't have Trump in power.
And that's, then the rest of us are all looking at this like, well, wait a minute.
This is actually a major fundamental disintegration of the American system right in front of our eyes, but Orange Man Ban.
Excellent, excellent addendum.
Yeah, I agree.
I think this is the only guy who really has the ability to bring us back.
And in spite of all of his flaws, and I wouldn't deny they exist, this is a guy who gave us a robust economy, made us energy independent, locked down the borders, found the lowest earning wage earners having their wages rise at the highest rate.
He's a non-racist.
He's a non-interventionist.
He's kept us out of war.
Biden, Edmund and Harris have reversed it all.
They're out to destroy America.
Michael, it's appalling.
If only we could bring back Trump.
I don't think there's an American alive who's a sane mind who doesn't feel they were better off under Trump than they are today under Biden.
I think it's a no-brainer.
And unless they continue to steal the elections, which they are intent upon doing, We have the ghost of a chance, if we get Trump back, of restoring some semblance of sanity, rationality, and security to the nation.
And otherwise, not sad to say.
Thank you, my friend Michael Parker.
Wonderful.
Well done.
And everyone, spend as much time as you can with your family, your friends, the people you love and care about.
We still do not know how much time we have left.
