	Welcome to False Flag Weekly News, the weekly news show that's been broadcasting for 10, 12 years now, looking behind the headlines, telling you what's really going on, critiquing the mainstream media narrative, and generally sowing suspicion and mistrust, and being hated by the authorities for it, and now being censored by them increasingly.
	But we're still here, and we now includes Jim Fetzer, the original False Flag Weekly News sidekick.
	Hey, welcome back, Jim.
	Oh, Kevin, I'm delighted to be back.
	I think perhaps Trump's greatest contribution to America may have been exposing the fake news media, where you and I have been doing our best to get to the truth long since.
	Yeah, well I think we've been doing a better job than Trump actually for a long time before he ever came along, but that's another topic.
	You were kicked off Republic Broadcasting for being a liberal, and now you're back taking Mike Rivera's slot.
	So, are you not a liberal anymore?
	Well, the party has left me, Kevin.
	I always regard myself as a liberal in the tradition of JFK and FDR.
	I believe in the Social Safety Network, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, workman's compensation.
	In that instance, John Steadmiller I called up during the show when I was explaining why, and this was prior to the 2016 election, even if Hillary were a lesbian, that it ought not to be a factor in the political calculus.
	And he called me up and he said, Spencer, I want you to tell me the truth.
	Are you a liberal?
	I said, well, you know, yes, and he fired me right on the air, Kevin.
	Fired me right on the air.
	Well, I don't blame him, Jim.
	Yeah, you don't care if he's a lesbian.
	You don't care if Michelle Obama's a tranny.
	Come on, man.
	My views have evolved considerably in the time since, Kevin, and yeah, I'm delighted that I'll be Replacing Michael Revero, not that anyone, strictly speaking, can.
	I'll be succeeding him on RBN five days a week, Monday through Friday, 3 to 5 Central, 4 to 6 Eastern.
	The show's entitled Authentic News, but it has very similar objectives to his What Really Happened.
	OK, looking forward to that show.
	Well, let's get into this show.
	And so the first thing we have to do here is look at the slides.
	So let's move over to our slide show and see what our slide of the week is.
	Oh, there it is.
	It's a cage fight slide.
	And it raises the question, is our politics and media really just professional wrestling?
	It sure looks like a cage fight sometimes.
	Zuckerberg and Elon Musk were supposedly going to go at it, although they never really did.
	And likewise, Biden, you know, seems to be trying to put Trump in prison for the rest of his life.
	And Trump has a good chance of winning the White House, whether it's from a prison cell or not.
	The whole thing looks pretty real, but maybe there's something of a spectacle to it, the whiff of the spectacle.
	And, you know, we'll get into some of the details of that as we go through the show.
	But first, the PSAs.
	Please support the show, go to truthjiha.com, which hijacks you to Iceland, and there you click on False Flag Weekly News there at the end of the red arrow.
	Find your way to today's show, and that will take you to the fundraiser.
	The fundraiser is currently at $65, so if you can help us get up to our minimal $200, which hasn't changed in over a decade, that would be great.
	So, also a huge thanks to the people who helped us move here to Morocco, where I'm broadcasting, and where I don't have a very good studio, so you're going to hear some echo and imperfect sound, and we will be gradually improving that inshallah.
	So, moving on to our show today.
	Jim, Ukraine was a carefully planned operation going all the way back to the 2014 coup, according to a former U.S.
	diplomat.
	This is a story published this week over at Covered Action Quarterly, and guess who is the former U.S.
	diplomat?
	It's our own False Plague Weekly News colleague, J. Michael Springman, down there in the corner.
	So, Jim, what do you think about Mike Springman's contention, as featured by Scott Ritter and others, that Zelensky is basically an American or British agent meeting with his handlers both in Britain and the Vatican.
	Is this all a crazy conspiracy theory or does it look pretty plausible to you as it does to me?
	Oh, Kevin, yeah, no, no, I think Michael Swingman got it right.
	Zelensky was basically recruited by MI6, and he was installed in order to create a thorn in the side of Russia in what they hoped would be a prolonged conflict, in other words, a Russian version of our Vietnam.
	Or you could even say Afghanistan.
	But the fact is, it's not working out that way.
	Russia's handily whipping the Ukrainian forces.
	They're basically in a stage of retreat.
	They're pulling back from their front lines.
	And while the mainstream would like us to believe that the heroic battle continues, it's really all over but for the shouting.
	Yeah, I tend to think that things have gone decisively Russia's way, especially since the obvious failure of this much-valued so-called Ukrainian counter-offensive.
	Well, it's interesting how Zelensky was picked as a TV character, the kind of honest little high school teacher who ends up becoming president of Ukraine.
	That was his role in the comedy TV series that was basically created by the billionaire Oligarch Kolomoisky to present Zelensky to the world prior to his being elevated to power.
	Whole thing, you know, smacks of an intelligence agency operation, sort of like Obama's presidency did in its way.
	So yeah, I have to say that J. Michael Springman's got that one right.
	The other big Ukraine story this week was that we had this Stan Jensen, who is the Chief of Staff for Stoltenberg, the Secretary General of NATO, suggesting that Ukraine could cede territory and basically admit that it's lost or at least lost something and we could end this war.
	Then he quickly said that he never should have said that and took back his words.
	What do you think?
	Was this some kind of peace feeler or was it just a mistaken blurt out?
	Well, it was an unusual moment of candor from NATO, of which we've had extremely little in the past.
	Russia is not going to give up Crimea or the Donbass, that's for certain.
	This has created a global tension between Israel In Russia, because Israel is a driving force now behind the war in Ukraine.
	Israel wants Ukraine to be the new Israel.
	Most of the occupants of Israel are descendants of the Khazars, and of course the old Khazarian region was present-day Ukraine.
	So I think in the background, Kevin, and especially because our Congress, as you know so well, is Israeli-occupied territory, There's been a titanic battle going on, but it's not actually between the U.S.
	and NATO and Russia.
	It's really between Israel using the U.S., NATO, and Ukraine as its proxies and Russia over the geographical region.
	I think the way it's going to play out, Poland may take much of western Ukraine while Russia retains eastern, and I suspect there will, in the short run, be no more Ukraine.
	Okay, that's the maximal loss.
	I would expect that probably the most Ukraine's actually going to lose is Odessa and that southern Black Sea coast, which of course is going to turn into a landlocked country, really just a rump Ukraine.
	But we'll see how that plays out.
	We'll see who's right.
	But this war, this Russia versus NATO war, is spilling over beyond Ukraine and most recently to Niger.
	And Niger is The place where the French colonialists have been getting essentially free uranium, among other things, by maintaining their monopoly on power in the country, but they were just booted out after a military coup that apparently supported by the vast majority of the people there.
	Russia tends to lean towards the side of the anti-French imperialists who just overthrew the president.
	So, in a sense, this is linked to the NATO versus Russia struggle, and once again, things seem to be going Russia's way.
	I do agree, Kevin, and this is one of those perhaps rare cases where a military coup is actually on behalf of the people, so it has a populist dimension.
	Several other African nations have indicated they would come to the side of Nigeria if there were to be a French military response, and because they want to preserve Africa, just as they did with Libya, as their neocolonial Resource preserve.
	It's entirely possible we may see military action there.
	The Wagner Group has already offered to come to Niger, and my understanding, though you're in better position to evaluate, is that Algeria has indicated it might also side with Niger were this push come to shove.
	That's right.
	So it could turn into a whole sort of West African war.
	And I guess if Algeria gets involved, it'll be North African, too.
	I'm right now just about maybe a half hour walk from the border with Algeria here in Saidiya, Morocco.
	So it's happening right across the Sahara from me.
	Well, the articles we're looking at, this one, the D-Day intervention call came yesterday.
	So this is a recent piece of news.
	And this article from Ellen McLeod over at Mint Press gave pretty good background and essentially had the same perspective as Joaquin Hagopian's, which you published, both pointing out that this is really a hangover from the colonial period where France just looted its portion of Africa and it's hung on to many of its colonial possessions.
	The countries that will come to the defense of the new regime in Niger are the anti-French, anti-colonial forces in places like Mali.
	And then the ones, the eco-wash countries that want to support the deposed president and bring it back under French control.
	Those those are all part of the pro-France bloc.
	So it's all it's really kind of a that era of colonialism never really ended.
	Yeah.
	So let's move on to the election news here.
	Jim, I'm sure you have a lot to say about this, that, you know, Trump, of course, has been railroaded on all sorts of different legal issues.
	And the biggest single reason for that has been the fact that he called out what he saw as a fraudulent election in 2020.
	And, of course, anybody who's been listening to our shows over the years knows that The election machinery, and especially the vote tabulating systems in the United States, are far from trustworthy.
	But rather than take Trump's objections to 2020 as an excuse to fix our election system, the establishment has gone the exact opposite direction.
	Well, here's an article that you sent by Joe Hoft, arguing that this cellular network that has been constructed to put emergency first responders on bandwidth that will be preserved for them, May be diverted to use to throw elections.
	I wasn't really convinced by this article, Jim, and I couldn't quite understand how it works.
	So can you explain what the author of this article thinks is happening in terms of that that emergency band of the cellular network being used to change voting results?
	Well, under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security, a cellular network intended to preserve the infrastructure of the United States was created called FirstNet, and Barack Obama, before leaving office, and I believe motivated by the realization that Donald Trump might in fact become president of the United States,
	He declared that our election system in order to be free from Russian interference, and we know that's been a myth from the beginning when it was first introduced by John Modesta and Hillary Clinton to explain away her loss, To Donald Trump in 2016.
	He included our election system down to the precinct level within FirstNet.
	And Kevin, I think this explains—this is the final piece of the puzzle.
	We've known all about the Dominion voting machines, which are designed to steal election.
	We know about the drawboxes.
	Hundreds of ballots being dropped off at 2 a.m.
	in the morning.
	We know about the mail-in ballots, where the Democrats have used all kinds of fake addresses to get ballots they could then make sure came out voting the right way.
	We know Eric, the way of registering, has been used to pad with the dead, those who have moved, and others to make it easier to steal elections.
	But what we have here, I think, is the final piece of the puzzle.
	And because it reaches all the way down to the precinct level, I think it's had a role in electing a lot of DAs and other Soros types, these extreme liberals, We're undermining our law enforcement and judicial system throughout the nation.
	It's a travesty, Kevin, truly outrageous.
	And once again, we see Barack Obama playing the key role here in betraying the precious legacy of electoral integrity of the United States.
	Well, I agree that we have problems in terms of election integrity, but this particular model strikes me as a little odd because, okay, so you get a print precinct by precinct tabulation that gets sent to the state level now.
	So the people at each precinct know what the vote count was for their precinct.
	You can't and you can't nobody will be able to change that because they already know what it is.
	So they send it to the state of the county.
	And then the county tabulates all the precincts, and now the county should have a record of precinct by precinct votes, right?
	So nobody can change that.
	Now you end up with a full county vote, which gets sent to the state tabulator.
	So what strikes me as strange is I just don't see where it is that you can change the number of votes.
	Like if the county changes X precinct's outcome, the people at that precinct would see it.
	If the state changes the county outcome, the people at the county would see it.
	So I don't see how This is going to be used to steal votes.
	Well, I believe it is happening at a precinct level.
	And of course, we know how many ways there are of altering votes.
	If you know your opponent is going to gain more votes than you, if you can set the tabulators of machines to simply reverse, who gets the votes, you get the correct overall number.
	They've just been cast the opposite way.
	I believe it's on that order, Kevin, that they've been able to do it.
	And because they have nationwide access, They can figure out how to change the votes at low levels early on, and it's catastrophic as I see it.
	I look forward to more elaborate and detailed explanations from the engineers who uncovered this, but I believe they have nailed it.
	Okay, as far as best as I could understand this, the way that this FirstNet network would help steal elections is that not so much that it would, I didn't see how it would allow them to change the vote through FirstNet, but what it might do is allow them to see the vote as it's coming in.
	And that is that somebody with access to the FirstNet system, somebody at DHS or whatever, could actually get the earliest look at how the votes are coming in and then start fiddling with whatever they have to fiddle with.
	But in any case, maybe I need to talk to the people who wrote the article and get a better explanation of it.
	More election confection news here.
	The Trump-RICO case, the grand jury actually indicted him before they indicted him.
	They put out the news a little early.
	What was that about?
	Why did they do that?
	Well, it's very peculiar.
	The order came down that they had to indict him on the Monday when the grand jury wasn't going to complete his voting until Tuesday.
	And the DA here, this Forrey Willis, went ahead and obligingly had the clerk of the court Go ahead and post it.
	And it was clear it already had a case number assigned.
	That wouldn't happen unless this was a final, formal matter.
	It had a judge, the name of a judge assigned.
	But then they had the clerk take it down, and Willis pretended she knew nothing about it, as though she and the district attorney were unfamiliar with the way in which the clerk of the court functions.
	This, in my opinion, is just one more sign the whole thing is absolutely a sham, with a predetermined decision and outcome, with a grand jury that, as has so often been suggested of grand juries in New York in the past, could indict a ham sandwich.
	Well, here it's quite bigger than a ham sandwich, and it has this golden hair.
	They went after Trump here in a big way.
	But when you go through the claims, Kevin, that are supposed to support the conspiracy, and the conspiracy is supposed to be overthrow the election by contesting it—yes, this is a wonderful article, It's all kinds of silly stuff, like organizing a room, renting a room, or encouraging voters to look at a video where there's a discussion of possible vote fraud, or obtaining phone numbers.
	I mean, it's ludicrous.
	I will not say this woman is a moron.
	I will say the indictment is moronic.
	Yeah, it kind of does push the limits of criminal conspiracy.
	And the real problem with this case, as far as I can tell, is that it depends on Trump's intent.
	And so if you believe that Trump knew he lost but tried to change the results anyway, then you could say it's a criminal conspiracy.
	But it's pretty obvious that Trump really believed that he'd been defrauded, and so therefore there really is not criminal intent.
	You could argue that he's wrong, but it's hard to argue that his intent Was based on his full knowledge that he lost.
	I mean, obviously Trump will never admit to himself that he lost anything.
	So I think even the anti-Trump jurors would not find this particularly persuasive.
	But then, hey, what do I know?
	Kevin, your points are impeccable.
	Jonathan Turley has said he thinks this is so extreme, it would criminalize election protests.
	And think of how many we've had in the past.
	Hillary Clinton for four years.
	During the entire Trump administration, insisting he was an illegitimate president.
	Stacey Abrams, right there in Georgia, protesting she's the real governor of Georgia, rather than Brian Kemp.
	I mean, it's a ludicrous set of indictments, Kevin, and it has no proper foundation in either the facts or the law.
	And there's a long history of candidates who ostensibly lost here in the United States and all over the world contesting results.
	And up until recently, that was never considered criminal.
	But hey, we're in a new world here.
	And interestingly, though, the media's attempts to convince us that All American elections, especially 2020, are totally perfect, and not one vote has ever been miscounted, are backfiring.
	I lost my YouTube channel because I had broadcast these false flag weekly news shows.
	I've never actually been that convinced that 2020 was rigged.
	I'm open to hearing the case.
	Much of the case made against the 2020 election did not convince me.
	And so I was far from your, you know, flame-breathing election denier.
	And I've been trying to subject all of these claims on both sides to critical scrutiny.
	But that didn't stop YouTube from nuking my channel that I've been building up over more than a decade, pushing 10,000 subscribers.
	And then, boom, they just nuked the whole thing.
	Many hundreds of hours or whatever it was of video gone.
	They wouldn't tell me why.
	All they told me was that one of the reasons was violating their never question any American election outcomes rule, which is that would put an end to all sorts of really great mainstream historical books like Gore Vidal's 1876 and so on and so forth.
	So many American elections have been questionable and have been questioned by the very top historians, but you can't do it on YouTube anymore.
	And the American people are sick of this insanity.
	And I think that's one of the reasons that the people who question the 2020 election are actually winning the battle of public opinion, according to these polls.
	This is a wonderful brief article.
	Two-thirds believe the 2020 election was rigged.
	I guarantee you it was rigged.
	The feds decided January 6, spot on, and the Bidens are a crime family, 100% correct.
	I was all over the 2020 election.
	I was following all the polls and developments.
	We even had 40% of black voters who declared they were going to vote for Trump.
	Because he'd actually made a difference in their lives.
	Latinos, similarly.
	I looked at polling before, I looked at polling after, all of it substantiated that this was a massive theft.
	And now we know, in fact, Mike Lindell did a report with multiple sources, Ron Johnson with multiple sources, and he, by the way, has proven to be a wonderful senator.
	Then we have Dinesh D'Souza, 2,000 mules, there actually turn out to have been as many as 56,000 mules who are using the drop boxes in the middle of the night.
	We've had another huge breakthrough in Michigan where they found a woman came into this obscure city and dropped off 8 to 10,000 voter registrations, many of which were written in the same handwriting, had phony addresses, phony phone numbers, And that was being replicated all over the country, Kevin.
	So, in my opinion, there's not a lot of room for doubt about the theft of the election.
	Indeed, the best estimates I've had is Trump won over 100 million votes, Biden about 37.
	I can't hear you.
	You're muted.
	Sorry, well, I'm skeptical about those last numbers that you put out.
	However, the fact that YouTube won't allow us to even question any of this or debate it really makes me wonder, not just YouTube, the whole attempt to crush any honest, detailed debate about election integrity post-2020 does actually make the authorities look even more guilty than they would otherwise.
	So yeah, here's that poll from several months ago, I guess.
	Uh, suggesting that the majority is now believing Trump, uh, which is going to make it interesting if they get Trump convicted in these anti-Trump, uh, districts.
	And yet the majority of the people of the country as a whole support him and they end up electing a president from, you know, a prison cell or a courtroom.
	It's, it's going to get really interesting from a constitutional standpoint.
	And here's another interesting poll that two thirds of Americans I think that the feds incited the J6 riot.
	To me, that's probably a slight exaggeration too, but maybe not that much.
	Well, Kevin, just a comment on Jan.
	6.
	I mean, Jack Smith has committed the same deliberate omission, as did the House Democrats, by excluding what Trump said to his followers at the Ellipse to protest peacefully and patriotically.
	They just edited out all the observation about peaceful.
	This undermines the indictment completely.
	In fact, it suggests fabrication of evidence by Jack Smith.
	Well, if it were not the case that our Department of Justice has been completely weaponized by the Biden admin and is nothing but a legal muscle for the Biden administration, where Merrick Garland is basically the conciliary for Don Biden, just as Tom Reagan was a conciliary for Don Corleone of the Godfather.
	I think Jack Smith would be facing an indictment and disbarment for the outrageous actions he's taken here in relation to this indictment specifically.
	Well, I think it looks really bad when a president is trailing his likely opponent in the next election and then has to go to these lengths to hit him with, what is it, like 70, 80, 90 separate counts, the vast majority of them very weak.
	You know, if like they were just going after Trump on the strongest available counts, Such as playing footsie with the documents at Mar-a-Lago.
	Taking the documents to Mar-a-Lago probably wasn't a crime, but then not being honest about it afterwards may have been.
	You know, that particular case looks legally more defensible, but most of these don't look defensible at all.
	Well, let's look at it.
	Here's the Politico website that tracks the Trump indictments.
	And again, it just looks like Biden's overplaying his hand by going after Trump, and in all these different venues, you know, basically trying to, you know, make it really hard for him to defend himself, because he's having to defend himself against so many different counts, all these different issues, and almost all of them look really bogus, right?
	And It looks like the whole thing is political and the American people get that impression, too.
	And so by doing this, Biden is really setting us up for a crisis, a constitutional crisis in 2024.
	Oh, I think you're right, Kevin.
	There appear to be multiple motives at work here.
	One is to make Trump real messy, and now he's got all these things going on, and people think, well, gee, you know, there must be something to it.
	Number two, to divert his resources so he's got to spend time in court rather than on the campaign trail.
	The civil suits don't require him to make personal appearances, but the criminal do.
	Then, of course, they're hoping that they can discourage the American people from even believing in the system, because this appears to be part and parcel of an effort to take down America, very much as flooding with all the massive number of migrants and not enforcing shoplifting charges and all that is part and parcel of corrupting American beliefs, in their own government and in the Constitution.
	There's a lot going on here, consistent with Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals, where the whole Democrat Party seems to have embraced his tactics wholeheartedly.
	Okay, Jamal, just as a possible counterpoint to all of that, what if we go back here to our slide of the week and question whether what if we go back here to our slide of the week and question whether the way this is actually being I'm not saying that Trump and Biden are friends behind the scenes and Biden's not really trying to put Trump in jail for the rest of his life.
	I think he probably is.
	But the way this functions for the billionaire elite, That has essentially been presiding over a more and more radically unequal America in terms of power and money is that you have two parties, both of which are completely owned by this tiny number of billionaire oligarchs who are sucking all of the wealth and power out of the system to themselves.
	And Trump's represents one wing of those oligarchs.
	Under Trump, taxes to the rich were slashed.
	If you wanted to reestablish a middle class dominated society and a democracy, the first thing you do is go back to Eisenhower level taxation, 90% plus marginal taxes on the income of the rich.
	And you'd have a wealth tax too, and you'd basically rearrange the wealth flow in such a way as to benefit ordinary people.
	But Trump is actually even worse than Biden on that.
	So what you have is two candidates of the oligarchs who are basically doing professional wrestling, pretending to put on this huge spectacle of hating each other and so on and so forth.
	But in fact, what are they really doing?
	They are engaging in professional wrestling, pretending to have this huge fight when actually they're both on the same side, the side of the billionaire oligarchs.
	Well, I think it's very real and not a staged performance where perhaps the central dividing issue and the reason why the establishment on both sides of the aisle fear and hate Trump is that he's a non-interventionist.
	He does not believe in war.
	As you go back over the last six, seven presidents, you see every one of them, including Barack Obama, engage in multiple military interventions.
	Well, Trump did have a singular failure in the assassination of Soleimani, for which I can never forgive him.
	He's basically not a war guy, and he threatens the war economy of the United States.
	He cuts off the gravy train, and as others have observed, this appears to be the reason for the establishment.
	Wait, but he raised the military budget.
	I'm sorry?
	He raised the military budget.
	His raising the military budget was, I think it set a whole new record.
	Well, Kevin, we got into no wars under Trump, and it's been untrue of every other president which has had multiple military interventions.
	The Ukraine war was set up under Trump.
	Ukraine was brought into NATO in a de facto way under Trump.
	Trump never didn't support Ukraine more, to my knowledge, Kevin.
	He gave us a surging economy, shut down the border.
	He gave good constitutional appointments to the court.
	He did a whole lot of things that were highly beneficial to the country, but he also Was not enthusiastic about wars, and I really think it may turn out that's the key issue that revolves around him and why both parties oppose him.
	Actually, you could be right about that, Jim.
	That might be his Achilles heel.
	In many ways, he was fine for the billionaire elite, but the fact that he wasn't enthusiastic enough about wars may be the biggest single reason why they decided to make him a one-term president.
	You could be right about that.
	Well, let's move on to the Biden crime family.
	Is there a crime family?
	Well, Michael Franzese, the former Absolutely!
	He knows a crime family when he sees it.
	And I think we do too, Jim.
	Wouldn't you agree that when he sends his degenerate son off to shake down Ukrainian billionaire oligarchs, that sure looks like a crime family operation.
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	And he drew the parallel when he was working with the Colombo family.
	He was nailed for money laundering using some 16 shell companies.
	He observed that Biden had over 20 of these shell companies to launder their money.
	I mean, as an inside guy who knows how these things work, I mean, it's impossible not to recognize the crime family at work here.
	And I rather like, you know, this interview was really quite sensational because it just flowed.
	It was so clear, and he was so candid about it all.
	He's, of course, since had a conversion, married a Christian woman and disavowed the life, but he was actually a made man.
	I mean, this is an extremely telling interview.
	Well, I guess it takes a thief to catch a thief, and it takes a crime family to know a crime family.
	Here's a Babylon Bee parody that was actually a little too close to the bone, like some of my satire, actually, that Garland's appointing a special counsel to cover up Biden's crimes.
	Well, that's actually not entirely inaccurate, is it?
	No, no, no.
	And they have an earlier piece that is even more biting about how the Democrats aren't going to be convinced by eyewitness bank records, audio recordings, and all that.
	Including, you know, Chuck Schumer saying.
	So they got an audio of Biden taking bribes.
	It's not as though it proves he was taking bribes or something.
	You got Eric Swalwell saying he's not going to be convinced by overwhelming rock solid evidence.
	And if Biden were doing something shady, he would have heard about it from his Chinese spy girlfriend.
	The Babylon Bee just nailed it, Kevin.
	Nailed it.
	Yeah, they do every now and then.
	It's hard to write satire these days, but the B is on it.
	So what about the inflation issue?
	Again, here I think that the people like our mutual friend Rolf, who did his song about the Bidenflation blues, may be exaggerating things a little bit because working folks' pay is up, the number of people working is maybe down a little bit for whatever reason, But the economy looks to me like it's not as good as the pro-Biden people say, but not as bad as the anti-Biden ones.
	So what's your take on this?
	Do you think that this inflation, in terms of what the people's paycheck is buying now, is it really that much worse than what it was when Biden came into office?
	I do think it is, Kevin, and that there are other studies suggesting, you know, the same goods are costing you like $1,200 a month more than they did a year ago.
	I mean, it's very bad, very discouraging.
	I think you're at great advantage being in Morocco, by the way.
	Yeah, prices are pretty low over here.
	Yeah, you're not going to have to put up with binomics and the outcomes and ramifications.
	There's some concern, by the way, that We're whistling in the dark, and there's about to be a great calamity, particularly related to BRICS meeting later this month, where they may declare the introduction of their new gold-backed currency, and where even Saudi Arabia now has abandoned the petrodollar.
	The ramifications are going to be enormous and all very, very bad for the quality of life of Americans, even though most have no idea what's coming.
	We've been ready for that crash of the dollar for quite some time.
	And so when it finally happens, I guess we'll be able to say we told you so.
	But of course, we've been predicting it.
	I've been predicting it for decades now.
	So maybe it'll be this fall or maybe it'll be a couple of years down the line.
	I kind of expect to see it sometime in my lifetime anyway.
	Well, I didn't expect to see the COVID pandemic, but I guess I should have if I've been paying enough attention.
	There's more evidence this week, more discussion around the fact that COVID was obviously planned ahead of time.
	The only debate is about the details.
	Here's Ron Johnson, our own senator from Wisconsin.
	I actually knocked on doors in Spring Green, Wisconsin for Ron Johnson for a day, talked to people about him, about why, even though I'm not a huge fan of Republicans in general, and I don't agree with everything Ron Johnson stands for, I'm going to be voting for him and supporting him because of his willingness to ask hard questions about COVID origins.
	And so here he is actually coming right out and saying that COVID was pre-planned by an elite group, but he pointed only at Event 201.
	He didn't point at Crimson Contagion, a bio-war exercise overseen by Robert Kadlec, which I think was even more relevant than Event 201.
	And likewise, Ron Johnson, he talks about lab leaks, he talked, now he's talking about some kind of Oh, far superior.
	group three planning, but he's not talking about the real most likely scenario, which is a U.S. biological attack on China and Iran.
	So what do you think about Ron Johnson, Jim?
	Obviously, he's better than your average senator.
	Oh, far superior.
	Yeah, I had the pleasure of actually meeting him at a Republican picnic in Verona here, Oh, I think it must have been six or eight months ago.
	He's impressed me tremendously.
	I think his function is that of an icebreaker.
	I'd liken it to Sound of Freedom, the film.
	Which introduces child trafficking and pedophilia in a fashion that is palatable, sufficient to be conversation at a cocktail party.
	Ron Johnson, I think, is very careful in how he packages what he has to say.
	He knows an enormous amount.
	But he doesn't want to overwhelm the public.
	So I believe he tailors his presentation in such a way that they can grab the attention and be absorbed, but in little pieces at a time.
	I think he's being very effective, Kevin, and I support this guy wholeheartedly.
	Well, I tend to agree.
	After I spoke to him, I got a sense that he knows a lot more than he's saying in his speeches.
	He actually indicated that when I brought up this topic of the possible U.S.
	biotech.
	He didn't deny it or anything like that.
	And in fact, he said a couple of things along the same lines.
	So yeah, I think he's very much on the ball and he's outraged about this, as we all should be.
	So shout out to Ron Johnson here.
	How about this story, the lawsuit that was just filed against the EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Tazek for essentially manufacturing and unleashing COVID.
	This is filed in New York, apparently.
	Do you think they'll ever get justice?
	Oh, Kevin, the number of lawsuits that are going to emerge over COVID is going to be staggering.
	And, you know, the question becomes whether in some states like New York, it's possible getting any justice at all.
	I mean, for example, The civilian suit hanging over and the hush money payments.
	I mean, Stormy Daniels has acknowledged she and Trump did not have sex.
	She's even signed an affidavit.
	That case appears to have no merit, and if it were not, were being brought in in New York.
	Where Democrats are overwhelmingly against Trump, I don't think it would have gone anywhere.
	Another example, also from that jurisdiction, was this Eugene Carroll thing about claiming to have been raped when you can't even remember if it was 2005 or 2006.
	This was so absurd that the state legislature even made a special exemption because the statute of limitations had run out.
	But I guarantee Trump was denied the ability to defend himself because she couldn't even give us the year, much less the month, the week, the day, the hour, the time.
	Trump may have been in Tahiti sipping Mai Tais or out on the golf course at the time.
	How could he defend himself when she couldn't even say when it happened?
	The New York courts also notoriously, it was the federal courts I guess in New York, that turned down the 9-11 litigation.
	Yeah, well that was arranged.
	They had a Judge Hellerstein who was in position to ensure No 9-11 case that would move forward.
	And of course, he's a Zionist.
	I was actually talking more recently.
	The lawyers committee stuff from like a couple of years ago, that was also brought in New York.
	So yeah, I'm not so sure if New York is a good place to bring any of these things.
	The problem is that the offense occurred in Manhattan, and therefore you need to bring it in the venue where it occurred.
	Well, in this case, the EcoHealth Alliance supposedly sparking COVID.
	I don't think that was Manhattan.
	But the victims, of course, died there.
	Well, moving back to Wisconsin and where more pandemics could start.
	Matt, you might be right next to the ground zero for the next one, Jim.
	You know, you're next to a facility that could be a lot worse than WIV.
	And that, of course, is the University of Wisconsin Biological Warfare Division, overseen by this Japanese guy, Yoshihiro Kawaoka.
	Who apparently has no shame in following in the footsteps of his illustrious World War II Japanese bio-war criminal predecessors.
	He's done things like weaponizing the Spanish flu, bringing back the Spanish flu, weaponizing the bird flu, and all this is happening just a few miles away from where you live.
	The Wisconsin State Legislature just introduced some legislation to shut down those activities.
	I hope it's not too late.
	I agree with you.
	I find this quite startling, and yes, I am in close proximity.
	My daughter and son-in-law both graduated from UW-Madison, a wonderful institution, but it ought not to be engaging in criminal biolab research of this character.
	I mean, I call it criminal because it has evil intent in my judgment.
	It's lawful, But I approve of the Wisconsin legislature trying to make it no longer lawful, at least in Wisconsin.
	It's interesting, it's now Republicans leading the charge against bioweapons, you know, against war.
	It's the radical Republicans who are most against the Ukraine war.
	Everything is flipped.
	It used to be the Democrats and the liberals and the left who were anti-war.
	Everything has changed, gone upside down.
	Well, how about this story?
	It's this Jim Hoff story that you sent in.
	So, talking about reasons to jail Fauci, and I think some of those reasons, of course, are better than others.
	Lying about COVID origins, yes, etc., etc.
	Lying about ivermectin, well, maybe.
	Certainly, they were spinning ivermectin in such a way as to try to keep their emergency use authorization for the mRNA vaccines going.
	So, some of these, I think, are criminal offenses, but maybe not all of them.
	What do you think, Jeff?
	Well, I think Tony the Rat, as I refer to him, is going to go down as the greatest mass murder in history for promoting the vax and for attacking Ivermectin and HCQ outrageous.
	And the fact is, this story is reflecting they had a financial interest.
	This ought to be 100% illegal.
	It appears that the CDC and the FDA Somehow we're able to get their own patents and benefit financially from the very kinds of developments they're supposed to be monitoring, but they're doing so in such a completely biased, irresponsible fashion.
	They even voted unanimously, the advisory board of the CDC, to give these Very potentially lethal shots to little kids.
	Kevin, I'm just disgusted with our so-called health safety network because it's been functioning in exactly the opposite direction for which it was intended.
	Well, Fauci has a whole business model going of exaggerating the efficacy of dubious cures to dubious diseases and going way back to the AIDS crisis.
	And so, yeah, I think ultimately he obviously should be in prison.
	And RFK Jr.' 's book is a good introduction to that.
	Well, Dr. Pierre Khoury is another Wisconsin guy.
	We're seeing some Wisconsin news this week between the The bio weapons work at the university, Senator Ron Johnson's excellent work, and Dr. Pierre Corey's excellent work.
	I guess he's based near Milwaukee somewhere, and he just published this op-ed in USA Today.
	Talking about the excess deaths.
	Now, I'm not 100% convinced that the excess death problem in working age people over the past couple of years is necessarily primarily due to vaccines, or even that that's a cause at all.
	I don't know.
	But it's certainly worth investigating, and that's the way he wrote it up for USA Today, never mentioning vaccines as even a possible cause, so he could get published in a huge mainstream But here he is in Children's Health Defense's publication saying, yeah, yeah, I think it was the vaccines.
	So what do you think, Jim?
	Well, I've done hundreds of reports about the fake pandemic, because there was no increase in death in any age group, but a very real and lethal vax.
	Hundreds of reports, I have no doubt whatsoever, and the data from the UK especially, Which is more authentic than anything we get from the CDC, where the AVERS technique only reports like 1%.
	In the UK, you get all the numbers, and it's very clear.
	The more you're vaxxed, the fatality rate just skyrockets.
	I have no doubt about it, but I believe that as rhetorical move to be published in USA Today that by not mentioning vaccines, he made it palatable to the mainstream, even though it's clear that was the objective to get out the damage being done by the MRA vax.
	Well, I'm suspicious about the seeming lack of vaxed, unvaxed studies, just like with the autism issue and other issues around other vaccines.
	It seems like there's a real reluctance among the researchers to do the kinds of studies that would actually answer the questions most directly and with the most confidence.
	It's a very good thing.
	To know whether this seeming rise in excess mortality among working age people has anything to do with vaccines, the simplest way to do that is to crunch numbers by looking at large numbers of vaxxed people, large numbers of unvaxxed people, look at their death rates, look at their outcomes, look at how the mortality has changed over time as the vaccines were introduced, and so on and so forth.
	Very simple, just like with these other vaccine issues.
	And the establishment has an allergy to doing those kinds of vaxxed versus unvaxxed studies.
	And when I try to find the debunkings here, I can find debunkings that make a bald statement that research shows that this couldn't be due to the vaxxed, but I can't find the links to the vaxxed versus unvaxxed studies that show that.
	And that makes me really suspicious.
	Well, I found a lot of them, Kevin.
	Maybe I should share, but I'm telling you, it's got a lot to do with coercion and constraint.
	So much of the funding in the universities that ought to be doing this research come from the federal government.
	The CDC, the FDA have all made it very clear they won't tolerate.
	We've had faculty not just censored, but actually fired for speaking out.
	The whole medical profession, I think, has been in a state of Persecution for speaking out, and you know, there have been heroic figures, Peter McCullough for example, Joe Mercola, Sherry Tenpenny, Judy McEvitt, who have really been making telling points about the facts and have been censored or punished one way or another.
	McCullough is the most cited cardiologist in America.
	And yet even he was removed from a position because he was so outspoken.
	So I think that's the rub.
	Okay, well let's move on to the climate issue.
	That's another controversial issue.
	I would say the majority of my audience is pretty skeptical about the whole global warming carbon-driven model.
	So here's some climate news this week.
	One, is that a couple of well-known scientists just published a climate change skepticism piece which was highlighted in the Epoch Times.
	You know, I've been arguing with Jimmy Walter about this.
	He's very strongly of a mind that global warming is obviously a complete hoax, and I don't think so.
	I've looked at both sides on this one, and I'm still, you know, still looking for the truth, but I'm not convinced that the skeptic side has it over on the other side on this particular issue.
	How about you, Jim?
	Well, I did a 10-part series with Joe Olson, who's an engineer qualified across the board, and there is no basis for global warming as being brought about by CO2.
	Historically, over 600 million years, there's been no correlation between the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and the temperature of the Earth.
	In fact, even the amount of pollution in the air has been diminishing, the amount of CO2 is dropping.
	CO2 turns out to be indispensable to life on Earth and actually has a cooling feature benefiting Earth in multiple different ways.
	So count me with Jimmy on this one, Kevin.
	I think the evidence is very clear.
	And if you go to my Lit Shoot channel, Jim Fetzer, and check out Joel Olson on anti-global warming, this series, you'll have at your fingertips a huge amount of evidence, voluminous and detailed.
	Okay, I guess I'll have to check out what Joe has to say.
	You made some statements there that struck me as likely very different from anything I've ever heard.
	But what I have heard, of course, and I accept, is that the global warming models have overstated the case.
	And we can see these predictions, the red line, Versus the reality, the blue and green lines way below them.
	So that part I think there does appear to be some truth to the fact that these alleged global warming models may have been overly alarmist in the past.
	Now what that means about the future, I don't know.
	Well how about over in Maui where the sudden fires, this horrific fire has been cited as evidence of the dangers of global warming and such.
	But then there also have been some indications that maybe there was something more to it than that.
	Here's some video from those fires showing some kind of beam in the sky.
	Some have argued that this is actually the product of the electrical lines going haywire, transformers blowing out, and so on, creating this illusion of a space-based incendiary system.
	But on the other hand, I don't know these.
	There are a lot of videos like this is there have been after the California fires and various other fires over the years, and it does make one a bit.
	Curious to find out what's really going on with these fires.
	Of course, it's been suggested that there are folks out there who have motivations to, you know, to start fires for various reasons.
	Possibly, you know, some say hyping climate change, others say for real estate speculation, etc, etc.
	So what do you think, Jim?
	Is there some kind of a space beam fire conspiracy out there?
	Oh, absolutely, Kevin.
	The effects in Paradise were very similar to what we saw in Mali.
	You got the homes destroyed, but trees and shrubs surrounding aren't even singed.
	It was a very selective fire.
	It skipped the governor's mansion.
	It skipped a huge hotel.
	Oprah Winfrey's properties there weren't affected.
	I have no doubt this was directed energy.
	So basically, if you had an Illuminati membership card, it left your house alone.
	I think that's right.
	I think that's right, Kevin.
	Now, Russia and China are observing the United States using this weapon on Americans, and I have no doubt they're alarmed at the prospect it would be used against them, I suspect.
	They've actually had some hits on Russia using these laser-mounted satellites, which suggests they may feel obligated to take out the American space satellites where these weapons are mounted, which of course would be an act of war.
	But then we've already seen with the Nord Stream acts of war being committed by NATO.
	It's all outrageous, Kevin, and I just worry that we're going to find ourselves tripping into a World War III.
	And that $100 million to $200 million are going to be evaporated in the first 30 minutes.
	And then Joe Deagle's population predictions will turn out to be true, according to some folks.
	Well, Ron Paul has made that connection between Ukraine and Hawaii, pointing out that Biden seems to care more about Ukraine than about Maui.
	And that's been a perennial problem over the years, and one that Trump did call attention to, to his credit, that the Washington establishment is more interested in ruling the world and engaging in imperial adventures Than in fixing up the infrastructure in the United States and taking care of American people who are having problems like these folks in Hawaii who may or may not have gotten zapped by space weapons.
	Right.
	I mean, another way to put it, he cares more about the borders of Ukraine than he does the borders of the United States.
	He's even talking about building housing for these illegals.
	They're being given Social Security cards, money, cell phones, a whole bit.
	He is treating them as first-class citizens when they haven't contributed a nickel to the tax revenue of the United States.
	Meanwhile, he ignores and abuses American citizens just as he has done in Mali.
	Ron Paul's a great American, and he speaks a whole lot of truth.
	Everyone ought to be paying a lot of attention to what he has to say.
	And he's another guy who might very well be president if it weren't for election hijinks.
	One more reason to question American elections and fix them, which is of course what the Democrats should have done once Trump started complaining about 2020, but they sure they didn't.
	Well, let's move on to war on Islam.
	I called it that because both the war on Palestine and the war in Afghanistan are part of this broader war on the Islamic world.
	Over in Israel, the drought is killing the Palestinians, and of course the Zionist settlers squatting on their land, which the entire world says is Palestinian, are stealing all the water.
	It was interesting to see the Associated Press actually cover this.
	Well they poison or rip out the olive trees that have been there for You know, hundreds and hundreds of years.
	I mean, the abuse of the Palestinians by the Israelis is a great human rights crisis of the last, well, since virtually since Israel was created, 1948.
	It's been outrageous, and the world has largely let it go.
	And I think that has to do with the Jewish political influence across the country, including, as I observe right here in the USA, Where, as Cynthia McKinney revealed, every new member of Congress is asked to sign the pledge to put the interests of Israel even ahead those of the United States.
	And where a dear friend of mine, Gary King, about Oh, a year and a half or two years ago asked me did I know how many members of the then-present Congress had refused to sign the pledge, and when I acknowledged I did not, he held up one finger of one hand.
	Only one member of Congress at the time had declined.
	Yeah, that's pretty telling that you get elected to American Congress, the first thing you have to do is sign a loyalty pledge to Israel, Well, the war on Palestine is continuing apace.
	The war on Islamic Afghanistan, of course, bogged down a few years ago, and the invaders left with their tails between their proverbial legs.
	Meanwhile, the Taliban has now shut down the opium industry, just like they did before they were invaded.
	And so there are actually folks calling for a re-invasion because the excuse they're giving is that without Afghan heroin, people are buying fentanyl, which is much more dangerous.
	So I guess we have to re-invade Afghanistan and put the drug lords back in power.
	Jim, this is pretty outrageous.
	It's almost as if they're admitting that one of the main reasons we invaded Afghanistan in the first place was to restart the drug trade.
	That's absolutely right, Kevin, and I think we were also there to exploit the rich mineral resources of Afghanistan, including one of the largest lithium deposits in the world, where lithium is used in components of computers, triggers for nuclear weapons, and electric car batteries.
	It's outrageous.
	Many an American military officer returned to the United States disgusted at his role there to protect the poppy fields for the production of opium and heroin.
	The heroin production has gone way, way down, as this map shows.
	And, of course, the world's biggest banks and corporations are unhappy that they're not getting all that laundry money channeled through them.
	Well, you're not supposed to talk about that and so many other things.
	And of course, the censorship issue is one of the biggest censored issues.
	And speaking of censorship, Meryl Nass is suing the Maine Medical Board over terrorizing her and making an example of her to try to keep all the other doctors in line.
	And this will be an interesting lawsuit.
	They first went after her for supposedly spreading medical misinformation.
	Then they realized that not only was she not necessarily doing that, but that in fact, There's no prohibition like that.
	So they had to change what they went after her for.
	Then they went after her for prescribing ivermectin.
	The problem, of course, is that ivermectin has been routinely prescribed by lots and lots and lots of doctors over time.
	Off-label prescriptions are a normal thing for doctors to do.
	So the whole thing is obviously basically a concocted fraud designed to send a message and terrorize the other doctors.
	And to her credit, Meryl Mass is not terrorized and she's pushing back.
	Yeah, I admire her as I do other physicians bringing similar suits.
	This is awful, disgusting.
	The very health network that was supposed to benefit and protect Americans and promote their well-being has been converted into performing precisely the opposite, bringing about death and devastation on a heretofore unprecedented and truly mind-boggling scale.
	Indeed.
	Well, more censorship news.
	Scott Ritter's YouTube channel got banned.
	He lasted longer than I did.
	Mine was banned a couple of years ago.
	But Scott just got banned, and just like with me, it wasn't at all clear precisely what I had done.
	It wasn't clear what he did.
	All they know is he violated the terms.
	What terms?
	Which video?
	What part of the video?
	What exactly did he or his guests say that violated your terms?
	YouTube will never tell you.
	They just nuke your channel.
	I mean, this is outrageous.
	YouTube is a common carrier, like the phone company used to be back in the days of AT&T running the entire country's phone system.
	The idea that they can tell you what you can say on YouTube or social media Just like back in 1970, telling you what you can say when you call your friends up on the phone.
	It's none of their business, and they shouldn't even know what you're saying.
	They shouldn't be monitoring you.
	If you commit a speech crime on the telephone or on a common carrier like YouTube, then the government or whoever sues you should come after you.
	But the common carrier has no business even knowing what you're saying.
	This is outrageous.
	The chutzpah of these people who are censoring us on common carriers is just off the charts.
	It's so un-American.
	This is one of the biggest reasons I left the United States.
	There's no First Amendment anymore.
	Oh, Scott, you're 100% We need a second to protect the first, but the First Amendment is the core of what it means to be an American.
	Scott Ritter committed the unforgivable sin of reporting accurately about the war in Ukraine, which shows Russia was justified, that this is a just war, that Ukraine is collapsing and corrupt to the core, and that was Intolerable to YouTube, which I believe has been functioning as an extension of the CIA, if not of the Democrat Party more directly.
	It's outrageous and wrong.
	Scott Ritter's right up there with Julian Assange and Edward Snowden in speaking the truth, and deserves to be admired and emulated, not criticized and debunked.
	Well, at least he hasn't been imprisoned or exiled like Snowden and Assange yet.
	How about the medical misinformation, YouTube rules getting even worse?
	I mean, you know, I was actually a very moderate voice of questioning the COVID restrictions when I was doing, you know, my YouTubes on the COVID issue before I got nuked.
	I had all sorts of different people on, including a lot of people who basically agreed with the standard medical advice.
	I was being pretty fair and balanced for somebody whose job is to question the establishment line on everything.
	But that didn't stop them from nuking my channel, and that was before this new crackdown.
	Now, the second you breathe, or you look cross-eyed at any vaccine, and you're toast!
	I mean, this is insane!
	There's a new report just out today, Kevin, that Biden's going to re-implement all the COVID policies, masking, social distancing, and all that.
	I don't think the American people are going to receive that very well.
	He's already the most despised president in American history.
	You wonder if he could drop any further.
	I believe he's going to hit rock bottom before all this is said and done.
	Well, I hope that InfoWars report that they're all set to bring back the masking, distancing, and lockdowns is just another of those, you know, InfoWars stories like, we're all going to be locked up in the basement of Walmart by next fall.
	On the other hand, you know, some of them come true and some of them don't.
	And let's hope this is one that doesn't.
	Well, here's Brett Redmayne Titley's new article, The Day American Journalism Died, about the Marion County record getting seized by apparently corrupt cops.
	I had Brett on the radio show last night talking about his new book there, On Scene Reporting from a World Gone Mad.
	It's a great book and Brett is doing really good work.
	And we're living in a world now where newspapers, to the extent they even exist anymore or ever tell the truth, can get raided and shut down by corrupt government agencies.
	And we'll see whether the paper succeeds in its pushback.
	Well, Sir Karl Palmer emphasized rational discussion and debate as our most effective instrument for uncovering the truth.
	The reason they shut it down is they don't want you to expose their lies, what they're doing in terms of propaganda and You can see it's actually easier to not do real journalism.
	opinion.
	That's why they have such a low tolerance for critical thinking and news analysis that penetrates to the core, Scott Ritter being one illustration thereof, but there are many, many more.
	You can see it's actually easier to not do real journalism.
	If you do real journalism, then this is the sort of thing that can happen to you.
	Okay, Elon Musk said, Some people have cheered, you know, Elon's loosening of the restrictions at Twitter, which then became X. Others, though, know that he sometimes plays fast and loose with the algorithms.
	He continues to shadow ban all sorts of people, I think including myself, actually.
	He's not banning us, he's just limiting our reach.
	And he's now limiting the reach of other folks he doesn't like, like the New York Times, Facebook, and the Washington Post.
	Or did the Washington Post just expose it?
	In any case, it's kind of good to see the New York Times and Facebook facing the kind of shadow banning that they have been advocating for folks like us.
	But at the same time, this is a common carrier.
	These common carriers have to treat everybody equally.
	So Elon is wrong here.
	Oh, I couldn't agree more.
	Elon is wrong here, and I can't understand why you'd take an established brand like Twitter and the language of tweets that goes along with it and the emblems and so forth that signify tweets and change it to X. X is meaningless.
	Twitter was a solid brand given You get rid of the censorship, which he promised to do, and I had very high expectations when he took over.
	But signs like this are very telling.
	Kevin, I'm very disturbed trying to sort out what is Elon Musk's real game.
	What is he really doing here?
	I no longer trust the guy.
	I no longer take him for granted.
	So you probably don't even believe that he really wants to have a cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg.
	And I don't either.
	I think that it's more thrills and chills and spectacle and Roman bread and circuses.
	You know, I think that this whole thing, as our image of the week shows, is just billionaire professional wrestling.
	Musk versus Zuckerberg.
	Biden versus Trump.
	There may be an element of reality in some of these struggles, but basically it's a big spectacle designed to make us forget the fact that we're totally run by billionaire oligarchs, we have no more power left, we have no more money left, they've grabbed it all, and now they're entertaining us with their supposed cage fights that are really nothing more than professional wrestling.
	Of course, I agree with you 50%.
	I think the Musk-Zuckerberg thing is completely fraudulent and pure theater.
	On the other hand, I think Trump really does represent a threat to the establishment, and that's why they're so desperate to do everything they can to marginalize him, if possible, or at least mess him up, to distract him so he's got to consume resources in these legal suits, none of which have any merit.
	And ultimately to undermine confidence in America.
	It's unbelievable this should be happening, but I believe it's part and parcel of where the Democrat Party has gone far, far left.
	They've been radicalized.
	They want to bring about an American-style Bolshevik revolution right here in the USA.
	Well, we'll find out who's right, Jim.
	Maybe we will anyway.
	Maybe Trump will win that next election.
	It sure looks to me like they're giving him every chance to do so with this ridiculous wave of lawfare.
	90% of these indictments are totally bogus.
	So maybe Trump will go ahead and win the next election, maybe from a prison cell.
	And if he somehow does assume power, and really has power this time, Will he reinstate the American middle class, or will we continue to live under a corrupt billionaire oligarchy?
	I say probably the latter.
	I still say it's probably just professional wrestling, but I hope you're right, and we will see.
	Inshallah.
	Kevin, it's all a question of whether we can have a fair and honest vote.
	We need to return to paper ballots, hand counts, voter ID.
	But I'm telling you, the efforts to smear Trump by these lawsuits isn't working.
	A poll from Louisiana released yesterday showed that among the GOP candidates, Trump had 75% support, DeSantis 10%, and no one else more than one or two.
	So, Trump is standing tall, his base is sticking with him, and I think it redounds to their good judgment that they recognize he's being savaged by the weaponization of the rule of law in the Department of Justice.
	The Banana Republic concept applies here, sad to say.
	Well, I agree with that, Jim.
	And every indictment seems to win him more popularity, certainly among his base, and even among people who don't particularly like him, like me.
	Every stupid indictment, every time that the other side does something obviously unfair, Bearing out Trump's constant whining that he's being treated unfairly, well, now he is being treated unfairly, I have to admit that.
	So each time they treat him unfairly, I actually like him a little better, and probably a lot of other independents and people who don't particularly like Trump feel the same way.
	So this could all play out to his benefit.
	Anyway, thanks so much, Jim Fetzer.
	Always good talking with you.
	Keep up the good work, God bless, and we'll talk again soon.
	My great pleasure, Kevin, and enjoy Morocco, my friend.
	I'm so glad to be with you again.
	Sounds good, Jim.
	Okay, I'm heading over to the beach.
	Thank you to all of our supporters.
	See you all next week.
