Welcome, folks.
This is Truth vs. News, Incorporated.
I'm Donald Ryan, your producer at Dainty Dot Consultants at ProtonMail.com.
This is May.
We're already in May on the fifth month, the second day here on Tuesday, and we have got a show for you.
It's really special coming up because we have special people here.
Of course, we have James Fetcher.
He's the most dangerous man in America and the most dangerous book in America that we're going to discuss at the end of this show.
And he's just fantastic, all he's done for us here, so.
And he's been doing this show now, and I've been doing shows.
May 5th, 2005 is when I started doing shows, 18 years ago.
Cinco de Mayo.
And then, that's my plug, now Scott Bennett.
Wow, what can I say about him?
He's been interviewing all around the world on RT, and about three or four times, and Iranian, and everything else television.
Then we have Michael J., a Vietnam veteran, serving in four combat missions and doing all kinds of things, and he knows which side the bread is buttered on, and he thinks that we should not tread on anybody.
But I think we are treading and happening, and I think it's happening over in Ukraine.
Is that right, Jim?
Close enough, Don!
Close enough!
Yeah!
Russia officials are reporting Ukraine has taken drone attacks on a Crimean fuel depot.
They seem to have destroyed an oil storage facility and caused a massive fire, coming amidst escalation in attacks against Crimea, which became a part of Russia in 2014 in accordance with international law.
The blaze at the city's harbor was assigned the highest ranking in terms of how difficult the flames would be to extinguish, but it's been contained.
Ukrainian military intelligence claimed over 10 oil tanks had been destroyed, roughly 40,000 tons of fuel used by the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
However, it's been disputed by the Russians that it wasn't quite so large.
Sevastopol has seen regular attempted drone strikes, especially in recent weeks.
Russia's defense ministry reported its forces had repelled Ukrainian naval drones seeking to target its Black Sea fleet.
One of the unmanned aircraft was destroyed, another blew up, causing shattered windows.
Former CIA Director David Petraeus declares U.S.-trained Ukrainian counteroffensive is going to begin in May, During his presentation, he announced that the goal of the operation will be to sever Russia's land route to Crimea, most unlikely to happen.
It took place before leaked documents revealed that the Ukrainians were suffering major losses and that U.S.
forces were already on the ground in Ukraine before the Russian intervention, something that has not previously been known to the American public.
Former CIA Director Petraeus says U.S.-trained Ukrainian counteroffensive is scheduled to begin in May with the objectives specified and to demonstrate that the Ukrainians are willing to out-suffer the Russians—not very likely when most of them are already dead.
Well, we really need to watch what's happening on the battlefield right now, but at training centers, the U.S.
runs in Germany, Grafenwold, Hohenfels, the U.K., Poland, and Ukraine.
Entire new brigades are being established with new recruits from Ukraine, but also some seasoned commissioned and non-commissioned officers.
Over time, these units are to be equipped with Western tanks, residual Soviet block systems, infantry fighting vehicles, wheeled armor, an extraordinary array of systems.
And this is all Petraeus, by the way, telling us what they're putting together.
I believe they will achieve for the first time true combined armed effects.
Russians have not done this, failed from day one, sent tanks without infantry.
Ukraines will have tanks with infantry, have engineers, EOD to reduce obstacles, defuse explosives, and mines.
I advise, however, it's not going to make any difference.
We have electronic warfare to jam the Russian networks, artillery, mortars, good command and control logistics, additional arms, ammunition, fuel, water.
We've reached the point, by the way, during the fight to Baghdad a couple of times, what's going to happen is, can Putin, over time be convinced he'll not be able to out-suffer the Ukrainians, the Europeans, and the Americans, which are what he currently thinks, and for good reason?
Scott, your thoughts.
Well, Petraeus is about as delusional as they come, and it's a sign of his complete abandonment of logic, which no doubt has also explained some of his previous extramarital affairs that got him in trouble.
Let's never forget, he was essentially charged and prosecuted, and was essentially sentenced to jail, but he never spent a day in jail.
Uh, Petraeus is a joke, and to see him at the Bush School, quote-unquote, is another fabulous joke.
All of the commentators and the calculations, the analysts, have all come to the conclusion Russia has won the Ukraine conflict, and there's really no hope.
The Ukrainian historical situation has been simply The United States started to develop a poison, a cancer, inside of Ukraine in the 1990s, and gradually it became more and more toxic, more and more festering, until they finally burst it in this infection of Nazi rabid coup d'etat overthrow of the government of Yanukovych in 2014.
And then that festering poison only became worse, and it became oozing out into the Donbass and the Lugansk and the Crimea area, engaging in genocide, outlawing Russian, outlawing, you know, bombing children into their basements, as Poroshenko said, as he sat in front of a crackling fire in the White House with Donald Trump next to him.
And then finally, they were preparing chemical weapons, bioweapons, drones that were going to aerosolize weapons and spray Russia.
They had all of these wicked, malicious, murderous plans that they were cackling fanatically and rubbing their hands together as if they're going to get away with, you know, revenge and carving up Russia.
And instead, Russia said no.
And they went in and they lanced that boil and they've been draining it ever since.
And they, you know, they were hoping for some kind of a detente last May.
And of course, Boris Johnson and the United States cut that off.
So now I think Russia has finally grown up and matured in its understanding that this is a hopeless situation.
They're hopelessly infected with the toxicity of hatred and blindness of arrogance, and they're under the delusion that they have power.
And Russia is going to have to go in and completely amputate large portions of Ukraine and leave it as a desolate wasteland with refugees going up into Europe and beyond, which will lead to, you know, all sorts of instability.
But Ukraine is going to be no more.
And Russia has no problem with that, because they can't allow it to regenerate itself.
It's too poisonous.
It's too toxic.
Only, you know, an entire generational shift.
Can can move it more into a neutral ground and you see you see uh flavors and shadows of this vile hatred and prejudice emanating out of places like Poland and uh Latvia and Lithuania and these other places and confiscating of Russian uh money and overtaking the Russian embassy and things like that and other property all of that is going nowhere it's it's ultimately for bravado and parade
But it's like waves crashing against the cement-reinforced concrete walls of a fortress.
And the West is under the delusion that those walls are made of sand, and they just are eventually going to collapse.
And the reality is, they're made of solid steel-reinforced cement, and they're never going to collapse.
And that's why Europe and the West is exhausting itself into complete defeat and annihilation.
And it's ironic, because what they intended for evil against Russia, I think God's intended for good by dissolving the NATO-European Union-Atlantic juggernaut alliance, and the United States is going to be completely exhausted very soon, Jim.
Michael Jay.
Thank you.
Remember, I want equal time.
The reality is I don't see these things so simplistically as presented by our media and even the world media.
I see that the original rejection of the Ukrainian people and their lawful government happened with Victoria Nuland because the Ukrainian people and their leadership then did not want the toxic, perverted Dutch Let's remember what happened in World War II.
by NATO concerning transgender and other legalized and new normal immorality that was being promoted by the West.
And they came in with the Maidan, they came in with Nazi snipers, they came in and overthrew that lawful government.
And let's remember what happened in World War II.
Another famous Nazi, Hitler, was under the control of the Luciferian cult of the Vatican.
He was being financed by the Zionists, the bankers in London, the city of London, and in even the United States, the Rockefellers were financing Hitler.
So the reality is, what was the real end goal?
The real end goal was to destroy the strength of the European nations, the real Yes, money.
The real goal of Hitler in World War II was to destroy the strength of all those European nations, get rid of the German people who wanted a Christian nation.
They didn't want the toxicity that was involved in destroying the moral foundations of Russia, because it had been taken over by the Bolsheviks and the Communists.
As an atheistic state.
So what was happening?
Hitler threw the German people against the Russians and the Eastern whatever that was, you know, facing Russia, and threw it against the rest of Europe and the United States in the west of Germany, and then America came in with their saturation bombing and destroyed The German people destroyed the Protestant Lutheran German people, and then when the war ended, they came in and took over all their industry.
Don't think that the German people run their industry like Mercedes and whatever.
It's a partnership with the globalists that own those car companies and all that technology, and even now they're trying to get rid of the German People by doing things like bombing the North Stream Pipeline.
They're trying to shut them down.
Why?
Because they don't want any strong individual national identity anywhere.
They want to destroy borders.
They want their New World Order.
And the thing that's happening with Zelensky is he has done more to kill the Ukrainian people than any other person, throwing them by the thousands against the juggernaut of the Russian artillery and missiles.
And that's what's really going on.
That man right there, Zelensky, is a mass murdering scumbag, pervert, and he deserves to be put to death by the Ukrainian people.
That's what's going on.
He's destroying Ukraine because they want to come in and confiscate the breadbasket of Europe, which was Ukraine.
And I think Russia should go in there and claim all of Ukraine and prevent NATO from coming in and confiscating that nation and filling it up, excuse me, filling it up with people that are coveting that land and its industry.
Very good.
Meanwhile, we have Biden's team fearing the aftermath of a failed Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Frankly, I think it's very unwise what Petraeus is talking about when it's intended to take place.
Biden admin partly prepared for the possibility if the counteroffensive falls short.
Critics will argue America has come up short as well.
The ever-imminent counteroffensive will attempt to retake Russian-seized territory, most likely in the East and South.
Publicly, Biden's team has offered unwavering support, pledging to load Ukraine with weapons and economic aid for as long as it takes.
But if the impending fighting season yields limited gains, they privately express a fear of being attacked By a two-headed monster from both hawkish and dovish ends of the spectrum.
One side will say the offensive would have worked had the admin given Kiev everything it asked for—longer-range missiles, fighter jets, and more air defense.
The other side, however, will claim Ukraine's shortcomings proves it cannot force Russia out of its territory completely.
No doubt about it, they cannot do it.
That doesn't even account for the reaction of our allies, especially in Europe, who may see peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia as a more attractive option if Kiev can't prove victory is around the corner.
Inside the admin, officials stress they're doing everything possible to make the offensive succeed.
We've nearly completed the request of what Ukraine claims is needed as we've searched weapons and equipment there.
But belief in the strategic cause is one thing.
Belief in the tactics, another.
They're worried.
Those concerns bill out in the open during a leak of classified information, a top-secret assessment from early February.
State of Ukraine would fall well short of its counter-offensive goals.
More current American assessments are Ukraine may make some progress in the South and East, but will be unable to repeat last year's success.
Ukraine has hoped to sever Russia's land bridge to Crimea.
Officials are now skeptical that's going to happen.
There's hope in the Pentagon that they'll hamper Russia's supply line, however, even if total victory over Russia's newly fortified troops is too difficult to achieve.
Moreover, U.S.
intel indicates Ukraine doesn't have the ability to push the Russians where they're deeply entrenched, and a similar feeling has taken hold of the battlefield elsewhere in Ukraine.
Zelensky, of course, says the U.S.
hasn't adequately armed its forces, and of course they haven't sent enough money.
There's a belief Kyiv is willing to consider adjusting its goals according to American officials, and a more modest aim might be easier to sell as a win, except Zelensky's shown no disposition whatsoever.
There's been discussion of framing to the Ukraine's as a ceasefire rather than permanent peace talks incentives, perhaps NATO-like security guarantees, economic help from the European Union.
More military aid to replenish and bolster Ukraine's force.
But that would still lead to the dilemma of what happens next.
If the counteroffensive does not go well, the administration has only itself to blame for withholding certain types of arms and aid at the time when it was most needed, said Kurt Volker, a special envoy to Ukraine during the Trump admin.
A counteroffensive that doesn't meet expectations will cause allies and foreign capitals to question how much more they can spare if Ghia's victory looks further and further away.
American public support—European public support—may wane over time, as European energy and economic costs stay high.
A fracturing of transatlantic support will hurt U.S.
domestic, and Congress and the Biden admin may struggle to sustain it.
Meanwhile, with all the talk of what's going on, the Russians are bombing the hell out of it.
Russian bombers launch a preemptive strike on the counter of Hansi.
Judging by the hit targets, the Russian Aerospace Forces have already thwarted the expected counter-offensive.
According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, The strike was delivered in two waves, with at least 15 strategic bombers in the second.
95% of the missiles and kamikaze drones were shot down by air defense, according to Ukraine, but actual footage contradicts those assertions.
Explosions sounded all over the place.
According to preliminary data, X-101 missiles flew over railway junctions where the enemy was accumulating machinery and offensive ammunition.
As a result of the strike on Tablograd, at least two divisions, 16 launchers of S-300 defense system were destroyed.
Russian bombers managed to destroy vehicles with reserve ammunition.
Also, a railway junction was taken out.
In addition, the UAV Kamikaze Adjuran worked out facilities at night.
The drones carried out strikes on enemy position in Kharkov.
Targets were hit in the settlements at Belay, Kolsaz, Kuzhkovo, and Kurilov, from where Ukrainian militants have attacked civilians in the Belograd region.
No reports of power cuts in the area of arrival of Russian missiles and UAVs, suggesting that priority targets were enemy military facilities intended for the future counteroffensive.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, I think the offensive is not going to come ever.
There's not going to be an offensive.
There's not going to be a Ukrainian Battle of the Bulge.
There's not going to be any kind of mass militant Charge of the Light Brigade or Gallipoli run.
It's just not going to happen.
There's nothing there.
There's no one there left.
The army is shredded.
What we don't see are the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians on crutches and wheelchairs with their arms and legs blown off and their bodies torn and filled with, you know, cripples and mangled bodies in the hospitals.
We don't see any of that, although it does exist.
We don't even see all the mass graves.
This is all psychological delusion.
This is propaganda.
The terrible war crime is that the Ukrainians are so stupid that they've been led down this path to utter annihilation by the Jewish-Israeli-Zionist-Kazarian-Zelensky.
And his masters, and I think their agenda is to put the Khazarians into Israel, or into Ukraine.
That's not going to happen either.
Russia is desolating them.
If Russia wanted to annihilate Ukraine, it would have done so in the first month of the war.
And it didn't.
It proceeded with a disinfection campaign.
But this self-deluding propaganda Of there's going to be a charge of the Light Brigade.
There's going to be a revolt.
There's going to be a countermeasure.
This is pure 1984 propaganda.
It's never going to happen.
There's nothing there and the U.S.
is doing it to distract its own people and the world.
That's why they've shut down RT France, RT Germany, RT Britain, RT America.
They've shut down RT all over because they know if the American public and the European public see and hear the arguments and the intelligence behind it and all of the true facts, The entire Western narrative would collapse as the dung heap it is.
Jim?
Michael J. Thank you.
I mean, this is very complex, but let's consider this, that America and the whole world right now is subjected to the propaganda of the West.
Being distracted from what's going on in America.
Let's remember that Russia went in there because of the years of abuse and sniping and artillery fired at innocent Russian citizens living in Ukraine, living in Crimea.
Let's realize that they started this war, this provocation, with no hope of ever really winning because you're not going to win against Russia.
Russia was forged in the steel of tyranny for over 80 years.
And the issue is, we're seeing that Russia is committed to its own people, and that the people that were begging Russia to defend them against the Nazis in Ukraine had every reason to believe that Russia would respond.
So it was the Ukrainian Nazis that started this war, and Russia now is going to finish it.
Well said.
Well said, Michael J. You got it exactly right.
Meanwhile, Syrian security forces have seized loads of weapons from ISIS hideouts in Daraa.
This is on the order of a mobbing up.
Remember, ISIS was created by John Brennan, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama in 2012 over the adamant opposition of Michael Flynn, then director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, to have a terrorist army raping, looting, and millaging to bring pressure on the democratically elected Government of Bashir al-Assad in the name of bringing democracy to Syria, which already was a democracy.
Lots of weapons, assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, mortars, seized by Syrian security from different hideouts.
Earlier, 4th Division of Syrian Army and Military Intelligence Directorate deployed reinforcements in the eastern and western countryside of Daraa, conducting counterterrorism raids in the area.
While losing a leader and several senior commanders, ISIS influence in southern Syria is still strong.
A recent raid indicates that government forces are preparing to step up their operations once again.
Meanwhile, more importantly, five Arab states plus Iran are among 19 ready to join BRICS.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Algeria, Egypt, Bahrain, and Iran have formally asked to join BRICS.
When it plans to hold its annual summit in South Africa.
Nineteen nations have expressed interest in joining the emerging market blocs of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
What will be discussed is the expansion of BRICS and the modalities of how this will happen.
Thirteen countries have formally asked to join, and other six informally.
We're getting applications every day.
Bricks will hold its annual meeting in Cape Town the first week of June.
The foreign ministers of all five states have confirmed their attendance.
Earlier this month, Bloomberg revealed Bricks is expected to surpass the U.S.-led G7 states in economic growth expectations.
Bloomberg revealed Per their analysis, while G7 and BRICS each contributed equally to global economic growth in 2020, the Western-led bloc performance has declined.
By 2028, G7 is expected to make up just 27.8% of the global economy, while BRICS will make up 35%.
The estimation came just weeks after the deputy chair of Russia's state Duma revealed BRICS is working on developing a new currency that will be presented at the organization's upcoming summit.
BRICS accounts for over 40% of the global population and around a quarter of the global gross domestic product.
The interest from global South nations has joined at a time when more and more governments are moving away from the U.S.
dollar.
The Greenback has become more unreliable for dollarized economies due to rising interest rates regulated by the Fed and the bank's weaponization of the dollar through financial sanctions.
In addition, the West, especially Europe, is facing a growing energy crisis, from sanctions targeting Russian energy markets to the invasion of Ukraine and U.S.
sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, the disintegration of the U.S.
dollar in the eyes of the world has been solely the actions of the United States politicians, the Congress and the President, for the last 20 years.
We've weaponized the dollar.
We went on a military juggernaut around the world.
We've conquered and beaten up Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine.
We've tried to do coup d'etats in Venezuela, in Georgia, and that's run its course, and the world has woken up.
The attractiveness and the popularity of being mated to the U.S.
is now being sort of separated, and there's divorces happening.
People are divorcing the United States because it's soured.
It's become maniacal.
It's become delusional and lunatic in its entire identity that is best expressed in the rainbow flag homosexualization, transgenderation of the culture.
That does not ring well with the Africans or the Middle Easterners or the Asians.
When you run the rainbow flag and tell little children to cut off their penises or their breasts, you've lost your minds.
And that's why the world is departing from the U.S.
And so many people in the media and Russia and elsewhere have said to me, I'm so sorry for what I see happening to the West.
So, it's imploding, and as a result, the economic behaviors are altering around alternative systems, and that's the BRICS nations, and that's only going to quicken, and it is purely the result of the weaponization of the dollar, the confiscation of the gold reserves of other countries, the confiscation of property from Russia, Venezuela, and elsewhere, and I anticipate this new economic system is going to rapidly increase in popularity.
And the G7, quite frankly, if your entire population is homosexualized to a point, you're not going to have replacements.
And if you don't have a Western-sophisticated, white Anglo-Saxon replacement that are educated in math and science and business, what do you have?
A bunch of third-worlders that can't speak English coming across your borders that barely know how to put a nail in a piece of wood?
Or, you know, Very good.
Sickly people that are dropping down from the COVID-19 vaccine or sickly people that are sodomizing each other to death and dying off in all sorts of perverse ways.
This is the future of the West.
And on all of the West, there are pockets breaking out from it.
But because of its social pathology and delusion, the economic power is disintegrating.
Jim?
Very good.
Michael J.
Well, Scott painted a horrific and honest picture of the moral bankruptcy of the West.
What we're looking at is let's realize, like you said, Jim, that ISIS and ISIL was created by the United States and by Israel and by...
With the help of the Middle Eastern countries of Syria, excuse me, of Saudi Arabia and Qatar and all these people, with the help of Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood, we're creating an army to destroy the sovereignty that we talked about with respect to the sovereignty of other nations, seven nations in five years.
Iran and Syria does not have a Rothschild central bank, unlike Libya.
But the reality is that when you control the money, somebody said, I don't care who makes the laws.
What we have is that these people that were sent into Syria to destroy the culture there, the living at peace with these three different religions, Syria was an amazing place.
Yes, there was certain prosecution, but that was in the minority and people were becoming aware of it.
But lookit, that same policy that they were using in Syria had been developed and perfected in the Israeli murder of so many people in Palestine.
And so we have a delusion in America that Israel is America's best friend in the Middle East.
No greater lie has ever been promoted.
No propaganda has ever been more viciously deceitful than that lie.
And the issue is concerning the BRICS nations.
My hope is this, that the BRICS nations will develop a money system that will not be able to be hijacked with a dialectic, because I believe we're going to have the West with a digital system, maybe backed up by gold, maybe not.
But then they're going to be forced to have another digital kind of system in the way the world is being shaped behind the scenes.
And we need to realize that once this global government creates some kind of, you know, thesis, antithesis, synthesis with different kinds of digital currency to make us all work together, once they control our money supplies through a digital currency that's totally under the control of the banks,
Freedom in the world is gone, and we need to be very careful because this dialectic that we're looking at between BRICS and the Western nations and the Western banks is simplified in a certain very important area.
The globalists are doing everything they can to bring down The United States and other Western nations that hold on to national sovereignty and the sovereignty of having individual rights that come from God.
There are many other nations that say, well, you have your God and I have my God, but the issue is, like Scott said, The Protestant nations in the West showed a great city on a hill when there was real liberty, but right now a morally bankrupt West cannot defend itself against people who realize that if they're listening to Western leaders, they're going to go down the toilet just like America is.
Jim?
Yes, yes.
I think that's right, Michael J. Meanwhile, the White House threatens a jaw-dropping veto.
This is bizarre.
The sole legislation raising the national debt, under consideration by Congress, spearheaded by Republicans, is in danger of a veto from the White House.
The legislation to increase the debt, but also reduce government spending, was denounced by the White House as a careless attempt to gain severe concessions as a condition of our country repaying the bills it has previously incurred.
The 2023 Limit Save and Grow Act would increase the debt limit while addressing the national deficit.
It would reduce government spending by about $130 billion while raising the debt limit to around $1.5 trillion.
The White House declares that presidents made it clear it will not tolerate these attempts at hostage-taking Before alleging the GOP will be to blame if the country fails.
The debt ceiling must be discussed by House Republicans without demands or restrictions, exactly as Congress achieved three times during the last administration.
The proposal says a White House would cause severe cutbacks to programs hardworking Americans and members of the middle class depend upon, risking recession to fall twice with job loss and years of increased interest rates.
Despite the California Congressman, the Speaker of the House, asking the White House to organize a meeting to discuss, Biden has declined to meet with Kevin McCarthy.
Joe Manchin, who will soon be up for re-election, criticized Biden's deficiency of leadership for not meeting with the Speaker.
The plan will go to the floor for a vote, for the House Republican leadership and required 218 to succeed with his four-seat majority.
The Senate will have trouble approving it, however, because Democrats have a 51 to 49 majority there.
Meanwhile, Jean-Pierre defends Biden's normal cheat sheet.
Biden has faced consistent criticism for his reluctance to hold press conferences or even respond to questions from reporters.
He's even implied his White House handlers have ordered him not to engage with journalists.
The DNC has concerned they're not going to have any debates with Biden during the primaries.
Earlier, the president took part in a rare news event, but cameras captured a cheat sheet That included what appeared to be the question at least one reporter would be asking, an instruction about how to pronounce her name.
It included her photograph.
The incident sparked new concerns, not only about his ability to communicate clearly, but how to function cognitively, where the admin has circled the wagons to portray it all as completely normal.
In addition to a sheet that included the header Question 1 and pieces of paper listing his top accomplishments, the names of individuals serving in his administration, listen as the reporter goes along with his scam and functions as propaganda for the U.S.
political establishment.
Here you can see the cheat sheet.
During a subsequent press conference, Karine Jean-Pierre, Phil did a question about the sheet he was holding stating it was entirely normal for a president to be briefed on reporters will be asking questions and the issues they may ask about.
She went on to deny the White House pre-approved questions.
We do not have specific questions in advance.
That's not something we do.
This was not the first time Biden was spotted carrying incredibly detailed notes ahead of a news conference.
More than two years ago, he brought along a sheet instructing him to call in specific reporters.
In June, he had a card that spelled out everything for him, including where to sit and when to sit.
During one 2021 event, he openly referenced a cheat sheet, asserting, Ladies and gentlemen, they gave me a list here.
The first person I was instructed to call upon was Kelly O'Donnell from NBC.
Here you see the reporter going along with the whole thing.
First question from Courtney of Los Angeles Times.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Your top economic priority has been to build up U.S.
domestic manufacturing in competition with China.
But your rules against expanding chip manufacturing in China is hurting South Korean companies that rely heavily on Beijing.
Are you damaging a key ally in the competition with China to help your domestic politics ahead of the election?
And one for President Yun, there have been concerns since last year that North Korea will soon be conducting its seventh nuclear test amid growing domestic support in your country for your own nuclear weapons.
He's looking hard at the sheet to figure out how he should answer this.
Scott, your thoughts?
Well, these people like Jean-Pierre and the rest of the Democrats are about as sharp, intelligent, and hard as wet grass, and I'd like to be the lawnmower to shred them.
Nonsense of reporters completely abandoning their role of being scrutinizers and inspection points and lights and magnifying glasses on the issues of the day for the American people to understand and exercise their own judgment and their own decision-making skills.
Those days are gone, sadly.
We are a nation of drones, and as I said on my RT interview a few days ago, a nation of lobotomized, half-retarded people.
And this is just another example of it.
It's funny because he's up there in front of the podium with our South Korean president, and I predict they're going to be initiating some conflicts or some threats against North Korea to distract against what's happening in the Straits of Taiwan.
For a long time, I've suspected they're not going to allow a 2024 election.
They are, in my mind, and I predict, I've said it before, they are going to take Gavin Newsom, the governor of California.
They're going to put him into Kamala Harris's position, either by killing Kamala Harris or moving her to the Supreme Court or doing something.
And then Gavin Newsom is going to be the vice president as Joe Biden completely falls apart or is assassinated himself.
Then they're going to advance Gavin Newsom up into the presidency ahead of 2024, and then maybe move Michelle Obama, Michael LeVon Robinson, into that VP spot.
The Democrats, I think, are preparing for a suspension of all elections in the guise of civil war, martial law.
And when you can't sell military weapon systems anymore around the world, because the world is kicking you out of their bases and their countries, when all of the conflicts are being snuffed out, then what do you do with all those weapons?
Well, you turn them against your own country.
You transform America into a circling firing squad.
And I could see the Democrats bringing a lot of the weapons back to the United States and engaging in really a 1984 police state, a V for Vendetta.
I see this happening, and they'll justify it by, you know, we're being attacked by domestic terrorists and all the rest of it, but their plan is to dissolve and break down America into a police state, take away the Second Amendment, and fundamentally, as Obama said, transform America.
And they can only do that through violence and chaos, but they miscalculate the pockets of America that will never yield.
And they also miscalculate that Washington has any relevancy to anyone's life in America, and it does not.
If Washington burned into a crater of smoke and cinder, no one would shed a tear around this country.
Jim?
Michael J. What do we have for time, Jim, until the break?
Oh, we got 15 minutes.
Oh, excellent.
Thank you, Jim and Scott.
This so-called new jaw-dropping veto that can destroy America is another farce.
What we're dealing with is America is so far into debt, any talk of somehow repaying the debt is another deception.
There's more debt in America, and by the way, when you create debt out of nothing, because we don't have lawful money, they even have the insanity to justify taxing debt instruments, okay?
You can't tax a debt instrument, and we shouldn't accept the fact that they've been taxing our labor, which is contrary to the Constitution, but let's look at the fact that Under Joe Biden, they gave hundreds of billions of dollars of resources and infrastructure to the Taliban in Afghanistan.
How many hundreds of billions of dollars, without declaring war, have been sent over to the Ukraine?
How many hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent on war materials that they want to continue to tax the American people to pay for?
Now they're getting rid of all of their old war materials by sending them to Ukraine so that they can charge the American people for building more.
Why?
Because the military-industrial complex is a black hole.
That's why, and the issue is America needs to understand that there are scales being used that are utterly unjust.
The American people, for what, a tenth of the debt that we're incurring in Ukraine?
The American people could be raised out of poverty, our roads could be rebuilt, our infrastructure could be rebuilt, and what we're dealing with is throwing the American people's future away and playing this debt game
And the issue is, when we see people like Jean-Pierre, this crazy woman, we'll see somebody who is so accomplished in deception, so accomplished in normalizing strong delusions, we're seeing that what America has embraced is people are now unable to hold anybody else morally accountable because millions of people in America know these people are lying,
It reminds me of seeing an attorney at the bottom of a freeway exit with a sign saying, we'll lie for money.
OK?
That's what these people are doing!
And when will the American people start requiring that these people be put on trial for bearing false witness?
Oh my goodness, maybe we can't do that, because what they did was they overthrew the Smith-Monk Act, so it's OK to propagandize the American people now and lie to us because they are at war with the American people.
Jim?
Very good.
Very good, Michael J. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is pleased that Tucker has been given the boot.
Senior Pentagon officials have welcomed the departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox.
A host regularly criticized the military's diversity and inclusivity policies, claiming they were imposed at the expense of battle readiness, which was no doubt exactly right.
We're a better country without him banging on our military every night, in front of hundreds of thousands of people, not even realizing Tucker reached an average of 2.73 million.
A senior defense official told the news outlet, Politico, on condition of anonymity.
The source claimed Tucker had made a mockery of the free press and repeatedly cherry-picked department policies and used them to destroy Department of Defense as an institution, which is about as silly as anything I can imagine.
You criticize where they're weak and wrong, not where they're strong and right.
Commenting on his exit from the conservative network, another official said, good riddance.
The popular former primetime host regularly accused the Pentagon of undermining U.S.
fighting capabilities for the sake of ideologically motivated inclusivity imposed under pressure from Biden's administration.
In a March 2021 segment, Tucker blasted the introduction of flight suits for pregnant aviators, suggesting Washington was headed in the wrong direction, unlike its rival, Beijing.
While China's military becomes more masculine as it assembles the world's largest navy, our military needs to become, as Biden says, more feminine.
This is a mockery of the U.S.
military and its core mission, which is winning wars.
The remark triggered a rare rebuke by the Pentagon, with John Kirby, its spokesman, responding, What we absolutely won't do is take personnel advice from a talk show host or the Chinese military, both of whom know more about what they're doing than the Pentagon.
We know we're the greatest military in the world today, he insisted, in an inflated statement that demonstrably falls.
And even for all the things we need to improve, we know exactly why that's so.
When asked by Politico what he thought of the reported glee at his departure among senior Pentagon officials, he replied in a text, Ha, I'm sure.
The news Tucker and Fox were parting ways shortly before his primetime show.
Neither party has offered an explanation.
Meanwhile, Rossman shows Tucker is more popular than Fox.
Former news host Tucker Carlson is more popular than the network that fired him, according to the latest Rasmussen polls, of likely U.S.
voters.
59% said they had a favorable view of Tucker compared to 52% for Fox.
More believe Carlson's departure will make Fox worse, not better, by 32% to 19%.
Among Republicans, 47% said letting Tucker go would make Fox worse, compared to 13% who said otherwise.
Fox agreed to part ways after settling a lawsuit over the 2020 election reporting.
We thank him for his service, and prior to that as a contributor.
Not surprisingly.
Tucker is most popular among Republican voters and self-identified conservatives, at least somewhat favorably viewed by 71% of Republicans, 55% of Independents, and even 48% of Democrats.
55% of conservatives have a very favorable impression of Tucker, but only 18% of liberal and moderate voters share that opinion.
48% of liberals have a very unfavorable view.
The survey of 945 voters was conducted April 25-27 by Rasmussen.
voters was conducted April 25th to 27th by Rasmussen.
Scott, your thoughts.
Are you going to put those stories I did on Sputnik and Zero Hedge up there?
Tell us about them, Scott, if they're not in there.
I want you to tell us.
You're doing such a great job with all these stories.
Well, just in a nutshell, I got a call from RT, and the Russian news guy said, Mr. Bennett, why they fire Tucker Carlson?
What's going on with Fox News?
So I went up and did an interview, and I like to do the Russian accent, but that's exactly how they talk.
Why'd they fire Tucker Carlson?
They didn't understand it.
They couldn't grasp.
This is the most intelligent guy in the American news system.
He speaks for all of the conservatives.
Those numbers are astounding, Jim.
71 percent, 55 percent, 48 percent.
I mean, that's why I say he'd be a great pick for vice president.
But, you know, I said Tucker Carlson represented an American who was intelligent, was rational, he was thinking, he was analytical, he was seasoned, he was educated, he was historically educated in Washington.
He's grounded well because of his traditional values.
He grew up in La Jolla, California, a beautiful free state.
I grew up in California.
There's something about California that just causes you to be very, very radiant in your curiosity.
He went to Washington.
He's got his same wife he was married to all of his life.
He's got some beautiful children.
And he transformed America into thinkers.
He wasn't so vainglorious.
He didn't read a teleprompter.
He really engaged in conversations.
He was at the Heritage Foundation.
Heritage Foundation educates you in all of the conservative theology and philosophy and all of the nomenclature of conservative theory.
So he has emerged, you know, as Sir Lancelot in the American, you know, crusade to educate us and free us from the dragon of stupidity, blindness, and arrogance that the liberal Democrats and the communists and the atheists have tried to force upon us.
And I think his exposure of Uh, the Ukrainian debacle in the military-industrial complex and the contradictions of the Pfizer-Moderna vaccine and indeed all of the death that's come out and Pfizer being linked to U.S.
biolabs in Ukraine, all of these things Uh, made him so toxic to the forces of darkness and lies that they couldn't tolerate it anymore.
So they fired him.
Well, this interview was picked up.
It was in Sputnik.
It was picked up then by Zero Hedge.
It was then picked up by Paul Joseph Watson and Alex Jones.
And Alex Jones read my article on his InfoWars.
And I think I've got the video up there.
Don has on a bonus.
If not, we'll put it up there.
But that says something, Jim, when the story about how Tucker Carlson transformed America is being picked up.
And by the grace of God, you know, God says, I shall give thee a tongue thine enemies cannot gainsay nor resist.
And they couldn't resist the truth of what Tucker represents and what we represent in understanding Tucker.
Jim?
Yes, yes.
Wonderful, Scott.
I love what you're doing there.
Michael J.
Thank you, Jim.
You know, Scott understands that Tucker is fighting for America.
And the reality of the military response to Tucker being fired was that the military and the Pentagon are actually the enemies of the American people.
Three of us on this program are former military.
Three of us remember what America used to be.
Three of us understand that you don't have men dressed in women's clothing able to inspire other men to be good soldiers.
The reality is bringing women into the military is a terrible, stupid, wicked, and risky moral calamity, because that's not what warfighting is about.
Now, if you have another kind of mindset, well, that's possible.
But the issue is the American people were always about defending the home, the women, the children, and God-given rights.
And this horrific Pentagon is saying that they're not going to take advice from the Chinese or a talk show host.
But let's realize this, Jim, how many people in the American government are in the pocket of Red China right now?
And why isn't Joe Biden being required to register as an agent for the Communist Chinese Party?
Over to you.
Well, let me just say one thing.
Don's got a very good picture.
Let me just qualify that.
That was a picture of Michael J and myself in San Francisco at the studio where I would do recordings, and Tucker happened to be in the same studio that night.
So, Michael J, Tucker, and I hung out, took a photo.
It was just him, his makeup girl, a friend of his wife, and the studio manager, and I gave him a copy of my book, Shell Game, and the book of exhibits, and Mastering Man, the social science book.
And I think even the 9-11 book, and he's like, huh, okay, yeah.
So he got our material, and he seemed to develop a serrated edge after that meeting.
He did.
Let's see that picture again.
Can we see that picture?
What's right there?
Can we look at that picture again?
I can't see it.
Don's got it on his camera.
Oh, it's there?
We're all seeing it, Michael J. We're all seeing it.
Well, I'm not.
That's okay.
It's because you've got your iPad or whatever.
Please forgive me.
It was made in China.
There it is!
Thank you, Don.
Thank you.
And it really is the transgender thing that Tucker called out and showed just how he didn't do it in an acidic way.
He didn't do it in a crazy, loud, blah, like Glenn Beck and some of the others get loud and bullying.
No, Tucker would do it in a social science analytical sort of way.
Like, wait a minute, are we really supposed to be doing this?
And we do this, then what's going to follow?
And what about this?
And what about this?
Are we into beating out girls and destroying women?
And he would bring wonderful intellects on that would debate this.
And he transformed America's mind.
He really has used the medium of the newscast as something much more, kind of similar to what you've done, Jim.
Well, I think Tucker is a sensation and a national treasure and Fox has made a colossal blunder.
Don, I think we're there.
Do you want to add a thought before we take off for our first hour?
Well, Tucker is something else.
I mean, I really, uh, that's why I went to Fox and looking at that and now that he's gone and nobody else is in the way that I don't, and in his place, the five o'clock hour right now that I don't really think is that qualified and is not that personable.
But he's a good guy.
But I think that Fox is not going to do it.
And it looks like they have moved more central, or even to the left.
And I find that Newsmax is really doing good.
Also, Nation News is good.
And I haven't seen AOC, but I guess that's OAC or whatever it is.
Those channels, I think, are the alternatives that are coming up surprisingly well.
The difference is, I think Americans sense this as a deep betrayal.
This is a betrayal against the American conservatives.
Yep, it sure is.
Don, take us out.
Oh boy, you all took us out.
This is just fantastic.
Michael J's comments were brilliant and everything else.
This is the great first hour of Truth vs. News here on May 2nd, 2023, and we have more to come.
And I think you're going to want to see Jim's personal exposure here of what's happened in the Sandy Hook development.
