*cough* *music* This is Jim Fetzer, your host on Authentic News, right here on RBN Live, the 16th of January, 2024.
Things are never the way they appear to be.
We begin with a nuclear war alert.
The winner of the Romanian presidential election, Kaylin Gorgosko, is warning that an effort is being used to...
Turn Romania into a launching pad for a nuclear war against Russia.
Let's see if we can catch up with what he's got to say.
Introducing the UNIA, the non-lethal self-defense platform, lightweight and simple to use.
It uses an easy...
The only thing which I can tell you, of course, but I'm sure that will not happen, but in any case, it's a dramatic situation, is to impose and to start the war, in a sense, the third war in Ukraine.
The real door for this is Romania.
Without Romania, they cannot control this war.
But already, the people on the street, they demonstrate to all of them that we don't play games.
And for sure, I can tell you, Alex, that they are afraid more than the people are afraid about them.
The fear is already in the system, which they didn't believe that the people can control the situation and the people to impose their self, their democracy and their freedom.
This is a real fear which the system has right now.
Well, absolutely.
To openly have a coup and say they're going to have coups in Germany over the election, that is a totally discrediting...
In-stage collapse of their system, and I meant to bring this up front, so I'm glad you raised it.
Scott Bennett, great reporter, died when he came back from Ukraine just a few months ago, former Army intelligence officer.
He said six months ago on the show, look for Romania with NATO to be the detonator for full world war because there's Romanian troops in Ukraine, and if they don't like the way the elections go or things happen, they can do a coup in Romania.
And then Romania could claim that Russia was doing something to them and then implement the article of NATO, it was Article 5, so that NATO could try to directly come in.
Because obviously Ukraine's not officially part of NATO yet, but Romania is.
General Flynn has warned of that, and now this has happened.
Are they trying to get full control of Romania to use it as the pretext to go to full war with Russia and bring NATO officially in?
I told you in the early beginning that...
The EU wants to control NATO before the official nomination of President Trump on the 20th.
So this is very dangerous because it already looks that he is divided in two.
Because simply the position of President Trump was absolutely very clear.
We are looking for peace.
It was absolutely clear.
And of course they tried to push more and more in order to control the war.
Before the nomination of President Trump.
Sure, it escalated out of his control.
Yeah.
So, you know, in the...
So there you have the winner of the Romanian election being interviewed by Alex Jones, Kaelin Gorgoska.
Warning.
There may be an effort.
Even to undertake a coup in Romania.
Turn it into a launching pad for a nuclear war with Russia.
Good work, Alex.
Meanwhile, Trump announces epic ceasefire agreement, says hostages will be released shortly.
Don't take anything for granted here.
It looks great initially.
But NetYahu is a devious, wily guy.
And he doesn't want...
Hamas doesn't even exist, much less have a political victory.
President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday, his negotiating team has secured a hostage ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel, and the hostage shall be released shortly.
We have a deal for hostages in the Middle East.
They will be released shortly, wrote in a post on Truth Social.
The president-elect promised in a subsequent post, Many more wonderful things could be expected when he returns to office.
We have achieved so much without having even been in the White House, he said.
Just imagine all the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House and my administration is fully confirmed so they can secure more victories for the United States.
Trump also declared that under his leadership, The U.S. will work closely with Israel and her allies to make sure Gaza never again becomes a terrorist safe haven.
It really never was a terrorist safe haven.
Hamas was simply standing up for the rise of the Palestinians, where the events of October 7th were orchestrated to create a phony pretext for an all-out slaughter on Gaza.
More.
Breitbart.
Trump announces Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal.
President Trump was the first to announce a ceasefire deal in Gaza between Israel and Hamas on Wednesday.
Israeli officials soon confirmed an agreement was in place to secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas since the October 7th atrocities.
Bear in mind, those Israeli hostages are the greatest security blanket Hamas possesses.
And once they are turned over to Israel, they're going to be glad to level the place.
We have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East.
They'll be released shortly.
Thank you, Trump said on Truth Social, his preferred social media platform, just after noon Eastern.
Ceasefire agreement could only have happened as a result of our historic victory in November, as it signaled to the entire world that my administration would seek peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans and our allies, elaborated a follow-up message.
Well, we shall see.
Kevin Barrett likes what's going on.
Israel loses Gaza war and its PR war as well.
A genocide ending ceasefire ended with a question mark.
I think that's totally appropriate.
On press TV, Kevin was being interviewed.
And Kevin Barrett, author and political expert, joining us at Asadia, Morocco.
Sakina Datau, author, journalist, and producer, joining us out of London.
Mr. Barrett.
Dr. Barrett.
Always a pleasure to check in with you.
Hope you're safe and doing well now.
We know the ceasefire may have just been announced.
But you heard our correspondence.
Palestinians have already been killed since the announcement of the ceasefire a couple hours ago.
Not supposed to take effect until Sunday.
January 20th, four days away.
Of course, that's going to be our Monday.
It seems like the Israelis want to continue the genocide up to the very last minute.
Your initial thoughts on the ceasefire and your level of optimism with respect to it.
Well, it's extremely good news, of course, says Kevin.
It's just so disgusting, the way the Zionists behave.
The Palestinian side, once the ceasefire is announced, even though it doesn't take effect until Sunday, they're not going to be going around trying to kill Israeli civilians, women, and children.
They're probably not even going to be blowing up Israeli tanks because they're decent human beings who can get into the spirit of grabbing a ceasefire here, even if it doesn't officially begin until Sunday.
But these Zionists...
Are just cartoon villains.
They've been behaving so abominably now for over a year.
It seems it's hard for them to stop.
Apparently, they just can't resist the opportunity to commit more murders before the ceasefire goes into effect.
And you know, as good news as this is, and if it all plays out well, God willing, then we'll be so happy.
That the most intense phase of this genocide of Palestine has ended, and the whole genocide will eventually grind to a halt.
But we're not going to forget this.
And we cannot let ourselves imagine that these people are going to change their stripes overnight.
As we've seen, they're still killing people, even though the ceasefire has been announced.
What kind of people are these?
It's outrageous.
He's got it exactly right.
Meanwhile, Smotrich vows to oppose ceasefire deal, says it's time for Israel to cleanse Gaza.
Israeli finance minister Enzel Smotrich Monday expressed strong opposition.
The hostage and ceasefire deal with Abbas amid reports of negotiation are making progress.
And so it's time for Israel to occupy and cleanse the entire Gaza Strip.
He means kill every single man, woman, and child there.
The emerging deal is a catastrophe for the national security of the state of Israel.
We now will not be part of a surrender deal.
That would include releasing terrorist hostages.
Stopping the war and dissolving the achievements that were brought with much blood and abandoning many hostages, wrote on X. This is a time to continue with all our might, to occupy and cleanse the entire strip, to finally take control of humanitarian aid from Hamas and to open the gates of hell on Gaza until Hamas surrenders completely and all the hostages are returned.
And of course, for Abbas to surrender, they'll be killed on the spot.
Have no doubt about it.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu just agreed to a hostage deal with Abbas.
But it's not the deal he's selling his supporters.
This is from a rat.
The Israeli prime minister is trying to erase a disturbing truth about this agreement.
That could have been reached months ago when some hostages who were killed or murdered over the summer were still alive.
There are two versions of the ceasefire and hostage release deal that Israel and Hamas have just agreed to.
One version is the official document, almost identical to leaked drafts from previous rounds of negotiation.
The second...
This is a deal as described by the Office of Netanyahu and his loyalists in the Israeli and U.S. media.
The gaps between the two version references that attempt by Netanyahu to erase the disturbing truth about this deal that could have been reached months ago when some hostages who were killed or murdered over the summer were still alive.
But it also tells us something worse.
And even after the ceasefire deal comes into effect, Yahoo could try to sabotage its second phase to renew the war.
The text said, the deal draws a clear path to ending the war in return for the release of a hostage at first.
A group of 34, a majority of them alive, will be released over the course of 42 days.
During which Israel will withdraw from most of Gaza, leaving some forces within a defined perimeter zone at the eastern edge of the coastal enclave.
Then, the second phase of the deal is supposed to start, during which Israel will receive the remaining living hostages, mostly men under the age of 50, in return for a completion of its withdrawal from Gaza.
Last but not least, there will be an exchange of dead bodies between Israel and Hamas that will mark the final and official end to the war.
Well, guess what?
Net Yahoo!
Last-minute crisis with Hamas delays ceasefire vote.
Are you surprised?
Prime Minister Benjamin Yahu said Thursday, that would be today, that last-minute crisis with Hamas was holding up Israeli approval of a long-awaited ceasefire that would pause fighting in the Gaza Strip and release dozens of Haas sages.
Israeli airstrikes, meanwhile, killed at least 72 people in the war-ravaged territory.
That Yahu signaled there were issues with the deal.
Shortly after, U.S. President Biden and key mediator Qatar announced it was complete.
That created a dual reality.
War-weary Palestinians in Gaza, the relatives of hostages held there, world leaders all welcomed in agreement, expected to begin Sunday, even as Netanyahu said it was not yet finalized.
It was not yet clear that Netanyahu's statement merely reflected jockeying to keep his fractious coalition together on whether the deal was at risk.
The Israeli cabinet was expected to vote today, but Netanyahu's office said they won't meet until Hamas backs down, accusing of reneging on parts of the agreement in an attempt to gain further concessions, but without elaboration.
Now, mind you, Trump has declared that if Hamas is to violate the agreement, that all hell's going to break out on Hamas.
Well, how easy would it be for Netanyahu to make it appear that Hamas had violated the agreement?
Effortless!
He does this all the time.
So I'm terribly worried that we have here something that looks too good to be true.
And that's because it ain't true.
It just looks good.
Meanwhile, Biden snaps a reporter asking if Trump deserves credit for a ceasefire hostage release.
And then a State Department spokesman says, Joe Biden Wednesday snapped a reporter asking if Trump deserved credit for the Israeli boss ceasefire and hostage release.
Trump announced Wednesday, And a deal was reached for the release of Jewish hostages in the Middle East.
The hostages will be released shortly.
Trump posted the news on Truth Social.
We have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East.
They will be released shortly.
Thank you.
A reporter asked Biden, who deserves credit for this, you or Trump?
A P. Biden turned around and replied, is that a joke?
Is that a joke?
A few minutes later, Joe Biden's State Department spokesman Matthew Miller admitted President Trump's team had been critical to getting the hostage release deal done.
When it comes to the involvement of President-elect Trump's team, it's been...
It's been absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line, said State Department spokesman Matthew Miller.
On 9 January 2025, Epidemiologist published a paper in the leading medical journal, The Lancet, in which they estimated 64,260 Gaza deaths from traumatic injury in the nine months since 7 October 2023. But applying an expert estimate of four indirect death per one direct death,
as she did out of the Lancet 10 July 2024 indicates four by 64,260 equals 257,040 further deaths from imposed deprivation.
And a total of 321,300 Gaza death from violence and deprivation in the first nine months.
That sounds pretty close to right.
Meanwhile, get this.
Yes.

Now, we started Wild Pastures because so many of my clients would tell me they just couldn't find high-quality pasturary meats.
And even when they did, it was so expensive that they couldn't afford to eat it regularly.
Now, I'm not talking about the bottom of the barrel of healthy meats that have claims like natural or free-range or even cage-free.
Terms that were actually created by the industrial food industry to make us feel all warm and fuzzy about buying their low-quality products.
I'm talking about truly nourishing pasture-raised meats, the kind that you'll never really find in a grocery store.
Our farmers are doing things beyond organic.
Our beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished and raised on pastures free from chemicals and other pesticides.
Our chickens are 100% pasture-raised, where they get their natural diet of grass and forage and insects.
We will never settle for free-range, which is actually one of the most deceptive terms.
In fact, less than 0.1% of the chicken consumed in the United States is truly pasture-raised in the way that ours is.
And our pork is 100% pasture-raised as well.
So if you care about where your food comes from, then you have definitely made it to the right place.

U.S. diplomat told to not include starving Gaza children in government reports.
U.S. diplomats have revealed to media Washington's deep involvement in the war on Gaza, where tens of thousands of children have been killed.
U.S. diplomats have revealed the prominent role Washington plays in the war on Gaza.
From supplying the ammunition using Israeli massacres to blocking details of Palestinian suffering in the besieged enclave.
A U.S. diplomat based in the UAE with two decades of meaner experience, Hala Redha, told CBS News 60 Minutes she was effectively censored in the images and information.
She provided the leadership in Washington about what was happening in Gaza.
Hart resigned from her position as Dubai Regional Media Hub's Deputy Director in April 2024 over her government policy on the Gaza War and after being told three months into the war that her reports were no longer needed.
I would show the complicity that was indispensable.
Fragments of U.S. bombs next to massacres of mostly children, and that's a devastation.
It's been overwhelmingly children, she told the broadcaster.
She was effectively told to shut up when compiling the reports for the U.S. government illustrating regional perception about Washington's role in the war on Gaza, made up of social media messages and Arabic-language articles.
She also agreed that Washington's stance toward the Gaza war had put a target on America's back.
Yes, a very big target.
Meanwhile, facts in the latest news regarding the Gaza Great March of Return.
From March 30, 2018, Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip.
Including families, women, and children gathered every Friday along the Israeli border to highlight their dispossession in 1948, and it protests a growing humanitarian catastrophe.
Israeli forces killed 364 Palestinians in Gaza, at least 214 at the Great March of Return, the rest in airstrikes, and injured well over 35,000.
Join women, children, disabled individuals, hundreds of medics and journalists.
Palestinian resistance force killed seven Israelis, injuring 67 more.
Many Palestinians were shot in the back.
Nearly all were unarmed, but no risk to the heavily armed Israeli soldiers.
Go here for details of each of these deaths.
Yes, this is truly disgusting.
But that's exactly what's been going on.
And that was, by the way, an early report.
That report was already from 2018. Meanwhile, get this.
Germany.
Germany.
To form new military division focused on territorial defense.
The territorial defense of Germany.
Germany has announced plans to establish new military division dedicated to territorial defense's tensions in Europe, each their highest level since the Cold War.
The territorial defense will be put under army command from April 1st, 2025, an army spokesperson confirmed, adding the division will incorporate all existing reserve units for a total strength of at least 20,000 troops.
Currently, Germany maintains three divisions, which can be called upon by NATO to defend the alliance in case of conflict.
However, the new division will focus exclusively on protecting the country's critical infrastructure, including ports, railways, and supply routes, despite the addition of the new division.
Berlin will retain its current troop numbers of 180,000.
Rising tensions.
Germany has wrapped up of end spending amid concerns that Russia may target a NATO member if it emerges victorious in Ukraine.
Russia has no inclination to do any such thing.
Berlin has been a major contributor of military aid to Kiev, committing around 28 million euros.
That'd be $28.5 billion in weapons and equipment.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius had previously warned Moscow could potentially wage a war against NATO by 2029. It's not in their playbook.
We should be prepared for the fact that in the coming year, Putin, I try to test NATO cohesion.
By invading some part of the Alliance's territory.
This is pure fear-mongering.
Last week, the German parliament approved a 65 million euro, 68 million purchase of five Israeli rocket artillery system to strengthen its defense.

She's absolutely got it right.
Very, very disturbing video.
It's like he's displaying duper's delight.
...the governor down in Hawaii who had some ideas about some land use concerns he has around speculators coming in.
Buying up properties and the like.
So we're already working with our legal teams to move those things forward.
And we'll be presenting those in a matter of days, not just weeks.
We took a $17 million budget cut.
And as we know, any budget cut would negatively impact our ability to carry out our mission.
Okay.
I want to also clarify that I'm not a politician.
I'm a public servant.
It's my job as the fire chief of the Los Angeles City Fire Department.
To make sure that our firefighters have exactly what they need to do their jobs.
And that's why I'm talking to you today.
The Palisades Fire, everybody's seeing it.
It is absolutely one of the most horrific natural disasters in the history of Los Angeles.
And even with an additional 100 engines, I tell you, we were not going to catch that fire.
But with that being said, let me be clear.
The $17 million budget cut and elimination of our civilian positions like our mechanics did and has and will continue to severely impact our ability to repair our apparatus.
What she's saying is correct, except that it's not a natural disaster.
Here is Newsome again.
This is the kind of behavior you expect from somebody who's put something over, something very big, and is taking delight in it that they cannot suppress.
I was just talking to Josh Green, the governor down in Hawaii.
You had some ideas around some land use concerns he has around speculators coming in.
Buying up properties and the like.
So we're already working with our legal teams to move those things forward.
And we'll be presenting those in a matter of days, not just weeks.
Yeah, moving forward with speculators coming in to buy a plant, I guarantee you.

Meanwhile, Mel Gibson went on with Laura Ingraham and left her speechless with a revelation about the fire.
Mel Gibson was one of many Americans Pulling out California Democrat-elected officials for putting radical environmentalism ahead of preparation for wildfires that plagued the state.
In this case, reservoirs were empty because of poor water management policy by Governor Gavin Newsom.
Well, you know, I know that we're messing with the water, letting reserve go for one reason or another, and they've been doing that for a while.
California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do these things, Gibson told Ingram.
Gibson's home burned down while he taped a podcast interview and texted with Joe Rogan.
The scope of the devastation and response by elected Democrats that would allow them to reimagine California had Gibson questioned if something was up.
And then in events like this, you sort of look, well, is it on purpose?
Which, uh, it's an insane thing to think.
But one begins to ponder whether or not there was a purpose in mind.
What could it be?
You know.
What do they want?
The state empty?
I don't know, Gibson added.
When a Democrat says he wants to reimagine land use and housing policy, what they mean is eliminating single-family homes.
And building more multifamily structures, actually, we know more specifically what they have in mind.
15-minute cities.
Meanwhile, Wall Street, apes on X. Here we have a report.
This is the billionaire Linda Resnick.
Her family owns 16 to 75 percent of the water in California.
Several of our callers...
Yesterday, we're informing me of private ownership of water about which I was skeptical.
Here's confirmation.
Her family donates huge amounts of money to Democrats.
She donated to stop Gavin Newsom's recall.
They use over 150 billion gallons of water every year.
Her family was in the...
1994 secret meeting that officially ended water being a public right in California.
They're the largest agricultural owners in California, and their farms use more water than all homes in Los Angeles combined.
Lyndon Stewart Resnick owned Fuji Water, Palm Pomegranate Juice, wonderful pistachios, and many other food companies.
They face lawsuits related to their water management practices with allegations of profiting from selling water stored in the Kern Water Bank to non-members at a profit, violating public utility laws.
The Resnicks have been accused of using their wealth to influence water policy and politics.
That key meeting, I tell ya!
It's very, very disturbing.
The 1994 secret meeting that officially ended water being a public right in California.
How can water not be a public right?
Outrageous!
And there's much more about her.
Article after article, here's Revolver.
Meet the left-wing billionaire family who controls a massive amount of Cali's water.
There's a video going mega viral on social media featuring Linda Resnick, a member of a billionaire family, deeply entrenching California's water business.
As a matter of fact, they control quite a bit of the state's water supply.
With California facing severe water shortages, especially as far as right through the city, people are starting to ask a lot of questions, and rightfully so.
Here's another.
How this billionaire couple stole California's water supply.
...suffered through unprecedented drought.
One billionaire couple owns a massive share of the state's water system, seized in a series of secretive meetings two decades ago.
That system was largely paid for by the very taxpayers whose water these billionaires hold hostage.
Urban water systems are desperate for water, but in 2023, they'll receive just 5% of what they requested from the state.
The Resnicks are the biggest farmers in California.
As of 2007, they owned four San Francisco's worth of farmland, and nearly half of Americans buy at least one of their products.
Their pistachios, their pomegranate juice, their mandarins, their flowers.
It's all under one massive umbrella, the Wonderful Company, a privately owned company worth at least $5 billion.
The majority owners, the Resnicks, are worth at least $8 billion.
How were they able to take over such a large percentage of what should be a shared public resource?
This is The Classroom from More Perfect Union, and today we're looking at how the Resnicks got rich.
Linda is a former child actress, the daughter of Jack Harris, a successful movie distributor of the 1950s, most well known for The Blob.
Starring Steve McQueen and a cast of exciting young people.
At 19, she founded her own advertising agency.
Stewart was born to a middle-class New Jersey family and started his first business, a janitorial service, in grad school.
He eventually acquired American Protection Services, a burglar alarm and security company.
Linda approached him about marketing services for the company and they hit it off, not knowing that one day they'd work together to take over California's water.
The Lovebirds became business partners.
They bought Teleflora, the flower delivery company, and the Franklin Mint, purveyors of inane little tchotchkes.
Linda was the marketing person, and Stewart was in charge of business.
As Linda told the LA Times in 1993, I've always said that Stewart and I together make one perfect person, like little salt and pepper shakers.
In the late 80s, they found their primary industry, agriculture.
They got into the pistachio business.
Linda said, We've done more for the pistachio than anyone ever since it was planted in the Garden of Eden.
My husband should be canonized for all the work he's done.
They started branching into other products, almonds, pomegranates, citrus, wine, and acquiring more and more land to cover it, including some very important land in Kern County, which granted them water rights in the area.
As the Resnicks were building their empire, the state of California was building new water infrastructure with taxpayer money.
California's natural water supply is very inconsistent.
Vastly differing amounts of rainfall means the state can go from surplus to drought and back very easily.
So they build water banks to store water during surpluses to have during droughts.
One important storage facility is the Curran Water Bank, started in 1988. The facility was built with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, which could have been a good thing.
The people of California would have owned the water.
But there were two Californians thirstier than the rest.
And they wanted more water.
Linda and Stuart Resnick.
And they had a lot of political power.
We'll get to that.
In 1994, state water officials, water infrastructure contractors, and agricultural landowners with water rights arranged a secretive meeting at a resort in Monterey Bay, California.
These groups, a mix of private companies and public agencies, rewrote California's water rules without any input from voters, taxpayers, or legislators.
The new rules, called the Monterey Plus Agreement or the Monterey Amendments, were devastating for working Californians, and great for agriculture billionaires.
The original code included urban preference, a long-standing rule that in times of drought, the state water board would give urban areas, where people live, access to water supplies before agricultural interests.
Monterey axed that.
That means that in times of drought, the water systems for normal Californians would have to buy water from private companies because they weren't getting it from the state.
The new agreement also loosened regulations on paper water.
That's water that doesn't necessarily exist anywhere but on paper.
The full quantities of water that providers could have but don't actually need to have.
Today...
Five times as much water has been promised and sold as actually exists.
And importantly, the meeting changed ownership of the Kern Water Bank.
What once belonged to the state was transferred to a few private water contractors, one of which was Westside Mutual, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wonderful Foods.
The wonderful employee who runs Westside, Bill Fillimore, is the chairman of the public organization that manages the Kern Water Bank.
Boom.
One secret meeting and the Resnicks owned nearly 60% of an important California water resource, built with hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money.
The new ownership, combined with the rules on paper and surplus water, meant that during times of drought, the Resnicks could sell Kern water back to the state water systems.
They took Californian taxpayers' water and sold it back to them, both literally as the water supply and also to grow expensive food like gourmet pistachios and pomegranate juice.
They converted the people's water into products many can't afford.
And that's just one water bank.
The Resnicks also have control of other water boards and have been sued for directing more water towards their properties.
So how do they get away with this Chinatown-level chicanery?
Gonna be a lot of irate citizens when they find out that they're paying for water that they're not gonna get.
With philanthropy.
The Resnicks donate millions of dollars to politicians and research institutions, which help them secure control over water systems, and even get more water and more taxpayer funding.
One important project is the proposed California Delta Tunnel, a taxpayer-funded project which would send water from Northern California to Central, where the Resnicks farms are.
They've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on state and federal legislation and politicians who support the tunnel project.
But their favorite politician is Senator Dianne Feinstein.
You come in here and you say it has to be my way or the highway.
Chair of the Energy and Water Subcommittee.
She's a close personal friend of the Resnicks, attending their holiday parties in Aspen and maintaining their financial interests.
A quick look through the bills she sponsored shows several which would direct money to current adjacent water projects.
The Resnicks even ask her for things directly.
When a pesky study about endangering salmon and shad fisheries threatened the Delta Tunnel, Stewart wrote a letter to Feinstein demanding a new study.
She immediately forwarded it to the Obama administration, who agreed to spend $750,000 on a new study.
It returned the same results as the first one.
Can't buy science.
But the Resnicks have tried.
They are among the top donors to the University of California system, with their donations focusing on agricultural and ecological studies.
The Resnicks have basically bought entire departments who put out studies on how water systems should be managed and where funding should go.
That leads to even more federal and state taxpayer dollars being used to fix up what the Resnicks profit off of.
This is all bad for California, even in a capitalistic sense.
Agriculture uses 80% of California's water, but only represents 2% of its GDP. The Resnicks water monopoly is just one way their quest for wealth hurts the rest of us.
They allegedly lobby for increased tensions with Iran to keep embargoes on superior Iranian pistachios.
Their giant crops lead to monocultures which kill important pollinators.
They siphon taxpayer dollars into the company town charter schools they own, set up to train children to work for their farms.
And of course, like any company of this size, they exploit their workers.
We need to treat water for what it is.
A necessary public resource.
A human right.
And something that shouldn't be owned by anyone.
And work towards legislative change that stops people like the Resnicks from stealing it.
I love that.
What a wonderful, wonderful report.

Update on California looters.
The latest mugshots won't surprise anyone.
Black Lives Matter subordinate Julia Roberts says, F you to Los Angeles, fire looters.
And she's pilloried for complaining about it.
Unbelievable.
Black Lives Matter Julia Roberts is extremely upset about looting.
Now at celebrity homes in L.A. are the ones being targeted.
Criminals have been taking advantage of the chaos caused by the fires and one looting multi-millionaire dollars and are looting multi-million dollar homes, many of which belong to Hollywood celebrities.
In the week since the fires began, about 30 people have been arrested for looting the abandoned mansions.
In an Instagram post for a minute...
Promoting the Southern Cal Fire Fund, Roberts wrote, there's so much healing that helped me that we will get through this if you looters.

Here's a half a dozen more stories, not in detail.
Trump's bold Greenland gambit.
Refreshing vision or massive land grab.
When President-elect Donald Trump decided to entertain the idea of acquiring Greenland in the Panama Canal in Canada.
It sparked reactions that varied from confusion to downright hilarity among his critics.
However, for many conservative-minded folks, the prospect isn't only amusing, it's a breath of fresh air in a world bogged down by bureaucratic stalemates and international hand-wringing.
Here's another.
Representative Ogles reveals bill for Trump to negotiate.
Possible acquisition of Greenland.
Well, here we go again.
Leaving the House Republicans, especially President-elect Donald Trump, to revive an idea that drove Goebbels and Pundits absolutely insane the first time around.
That's right.
The push to buy Greenland is back.
And this time it's not just talk.
It's legislative action.
Congressman Andy Ogles, Republican of Tennessee, has officially introduced the Make Greenland Great Again Act, paving the way for Trump to negotiate with Denmark to acquire the massive resource-rich territory.
And let's be honest, the timing, the framing, and the messaging?
Pure Trump.
Here's another.
Canada...
Bows to Trump's demand plans to buy submarines to offset terrorists.
America's global influence is reaching new heights.
Every day brings fresh evidence.
The world is adjusting to strong American leadership.
International communities learning that resistance to America First policies is futile.
Other nations are discovering that his approach isn't just tough talk.
It delivers real results for American workers and businesses.
The Associated Press reports, Canadian officials are now openly discussing major concessions to avoid Trump's proposed tariffs.
Their sudden willingness to compromise shows how quickly nations adapt.
When faced with determined American leadership.
Here we have another.
Mexico finally admits fentanyl crisis after Trump's trade tariff threats.
Donald Trump built a solid part of his campaign on a promise to tackle the drug epidemic stemming from Mexico, focusing primarily on the villains behind the fentanyl crisis.
After initially slapping back on the idea of Mexican President Claudius Scheinbaum as a side of face reality, fentanyl is indeed being manufactured south of the border.
Who would have guessed?
In an eye-opening breast conference, Scheinbaum disclosed the unfortunate truth.
I'm going to try.
I'm going to try.
I can't hide.
Yes, I can't hide.
Hey there, this is Sheila with Hemphace by My Naturehead.
Why is hemp paste better than other CBD options on the market?
It's important to point out that the common CBD oil does not contain CBDA or CBGA and they're only found in fresh or raw hemp products, like hemp paste.
Hemp paste contains the entire plant, minus any stems.
This means the product retains the complete genetic code of the plant, which also includes those two vital cannabinoids, CBGA and CBDA. Over and over, experts keep saying the more intact or less processed the hemp plant is, the more effective it is.
Happy HempPaste!

Welcome to the second hour of Authentic News right here on RBN Live, the 16th day of January 2025, where I take your calls.
Delighted.
First up, Peter in Los Angeles.
Welcome back, my friend.
join the conversation.
Hang on.
Did we not have Peter?
I lost his audio.
Are you there, Peter?
Hello?
Peter, have we got you there, my friend?
I think we lost him.
Okay, let's count on Peter calling back.
Meanwhile, hijacker in Washington.
Hijacker joined the conversation.
Yeah, great show, Professor Admiral.
Listen, so we're four days out from...
Basically, an historic event where Trump is going to take power, unlike most other presidents with the pause in between.
But what we're coming up on in about four days is going to be monumental, historical.
It's actually going to define which way Trump's presidency is going to go.
So Trump could either go small, small, and that's what...
Everybody's saying he's got over 100. Some people say it's 120 executive directive orders all stacked up.
He's going to sign like on the first or second day.
And he can go that way in which he can break out the baseball bat.
He can go tariffs on China, Canada.
He can make a completely bloody mess of the whole world by going like trade wars.
Sanctions, tariffs, or he can go big, big.
So Trump can either go small, small, petty, break out the bat, sign up the hundred and plus presidential directives, or he can go big, big.
If he goes big, big, professor, this is what he can do when he only gets one shot.
In other words, this is probably the only time that he's going to be able to do it.
He can actually, yeah, he'll do his presidential directives about the J6ers, you know, you all get a pardon, something about the wall or whatever.
But if he holds and he doesn't break out the big baseball bat, which are the sanctions, the tariffs, all the rest, he could do this.
He could say, I'm going to actually call for a worldwide economic summit.
Probably in the capital of my good friend, the young lion of Saudi Arabia, MSB or MBS, for literally the month of February, in which I'm going to call all the countries of the whole world, all the business people, the entrepreneurs, let's all come, and before I go sanctions and I go a real bloody mess, which is going to humiliate everybody, of course the MAGA people, if Trump goes small, small, they're going to say, look what it...
Look what a powerful president that we have.
The first day in office, he just, like, you know, beat, you know, a dozen nations to their knees with his sanctions and tariffs.
Or if he goes big, big and calls this worldwide economic summit, then it not only buys him time, but actually gives the whole world a chance before we descend into, because if he goes small, small, it's going to go first trade wars.
Then it's going to go asymmetrical warfare with China and Russia, cutting cables.
Then it goes to probably direct assassinations, like what we did on the Russian general over in Russia, you know, assassination.
And then it goes to World War III. And then after World War III, we get a great, great worldwide depression.
Trump, he's got the capability of not just becoming a great president for the United States.
But if he calls this Worldwide Economic Summit and just waits and brings the whole world together to see if we can't think through this, he could actually become like the economic messiah saving the world from a World War III or a Worldwide Great Depression.
And so what are your thoughts on the two ways that he can go?
Small, small, big, big.
What do you think, Professor?
All of the above, Hijacker.
He's got so many things he's got to undo in terms of Biden's executive orders.
He's got 100 lined up he's going to sign the first day.
But I like your idea of an economic summit.
I believe you floated this the other day.
I endorsed it then.
I endorsed it again.
It's a good idea.
So I think this guy can walk and chew gum at the same time, and I think that's what we're going to see, Hijacker.
Give us a final thought.
No, no, great show.
Yeah, thanks, Professor.
Thanks for the backing of that, because I think that is the big, that's the big idea, and hopefully it does intellectually hijack Trump's initial campaign, I mean, initial presidency, and he switches over to thinking big, big.
Thanks so much.
God bless.
Thank you, hijacker.
Peter in Los Angeles, I'm so glad to have you back, my friend.
You're on.
John, give me your thoughts.
Peter.
I guess we lost Peter again.
I don't know what's going on there.
We lost him again?
I'm floored.
I'm absolutely floored.
Joe in Tennessee.
Joe, join the conversation.
Joe.
Let's hope Peter's all right with all them fires out there.
Anyway, I... What we have in this country is a concentration of power, and we know who's in charge of a lot of that power.
And yesterday I just talked a little bit about the importance of decentralization and the reason why he should not have the inauguration in Washington.
Anything you can do to decentralize weakens this concentration of power.
And one of the best things that Trump is in the process of doing...
It's with crypto and Bitcoin and starting a Bitcoin reserve.
Now, I heard a caller last week talking about how stupid it was, how it's going to weaken the dollar, blah, blah, blah.
Well, first of all, Biden is selling Bitcoin.
The government's been selling Bitcoin for the last eight years trying to suppress Bitcoin's price.
And it's ridiculous because if the government would have kept all that Bitcoin, imagine how much money we'd have in the kitty.
And the other thing is, it's not like Trump's wasting this money.
Bitcoin has value.
Bitcoin will actually strengthen the dollar because if our country has, let's say, 200,000 Bitcoin, it's like having gold in Fort Knox.
It's a great asset.
It's a future asset.
And it's just so short-sighted.
That the government has spent the last eight years suppressing, demonizing, criminalizing crypto.
You know, it's an industry.
Not only is it smart money, but the crypto industry and blockchain and XRP and all these other crypto and blockchain.
That's the future of finance.
It's the future of contracts.
It's the future of finance.
And we know that there's a lot of like there's an establishment, there's a financial institution.
And it's just so liberating.
Yeah, Joe, thanks.
You've made this point before, and it's a good one.
Fascinating stuff.
Let's see if we got Peter.
Peter in Los Angeles, are you there, my friend?
Hey, Jim, I'm sorry.
That was my fault on getting on earlier.
Not Mike.
Hey, I sent you a couple articles that you just played on Resnick at California Water.
Yes.
And the first point I want to make out is, what kind of name do you think Resnick is?
Which, of course, I thought...
But the larger point, and this is an illustration of it, not only is this a billionaire, a predatory billionaire...
But another predatory Jewish billion, but that controls something that ought to be like air.
You can't control it.
Someday they'll try to buy air.
If they could, they would.
And they'll do it behind the backs of everybody like they did in the 90s with water.
But my larger point is that I don't believe that the people of Earth Let alone the United States, can no longer afford to have billionaires.
I know this is an ongoing topic of mine, but we just can't afford people like the Resnicks or like the people that were responsible for all the opioids.
What's the name of that family?
Another Jewish billionaire family that stuck us with the opioid crisis, right?
The Saddlers or somebody?
Or the Hunts, when they try to corner the silver market, or what have you.
I'm sure there's billionaires everywhere, you know, that are doing this.
We simply can't have people—we've got a president that's a billionaire, right?
I'm sure Biden got out of there, and he's a billionaire from the money he's stolen.
You know, you can name the billionaires that control Trump and control Biden, and they're all the same.
They've got the same kind of name, but they've got all the zeros after their name.
But we can't afford to have, there shouldn't be able to be such a thing as billionaires.
And I, as basically a capitalist, I really hate to say that, but there should be some sort of cap.
75 or 80 million in today's dollars that you could live, if you're smart, multi-generational, you know, and have wealth transferred down to your grandparents if you're smart about it.
it, but you can't amass enough wealth to buy Congress like the Adelson's or George Soros or some of the other guys we know are doing it right now, or corner the silver market to buy up all the people's water or someday buy up all our air. or corner the silver market to buy up all the We can't have that anymore.
We can't be at the rim of these.
I agree with you, leader.
That's much the point behind the antitrust legislation, to not allow families to become so powerful that they warp the political fabric of the nation, which is clearly...
In the case, George Soros, an outstanding negative example, because he bought up all the DAs and done great damage to law and order and respect for justice in the United States.
And the Resnick's obviously exploiting a necessary condition for life, water.
That should be illegal.
That's a public trust that belongs to the entire public, just as does the air.
I'm all for those necessities of life being protected for the people of the United States.
And it's outrageous that they have got away with what they've got away with here, Peter.
I'm with you.
Bill Gates, another outstanding example of a very sick man who's very rich and able to do tremendous damage worldwide as a consequence.
And, you know, when Trump got elected, and for those of you who are always on me for criticizing Trump, and I do criticize Trump, I voted for the guy three times.
And I'm, you know, I'm good he got reelected and all that.
But listen, Elon Musk, who I thanked, he's largely responsible to a very high percentage degree of Trump being reelected.
But we're at his whim as well.
One billionaire giving another billionaire money and, you know, he could change his mind in a New York minute.
And I like to say New York minute for a reason.
But at any rate, you know, we're at their whim.
I've used the description before.
Like, the American political system is like...
A kid, a demented kid with an ant farm.
We're the ants.
You can see in the little ant farm and all that.
And there's the billionaires of the demented kids.
And they can put honey in on one side and rat poison on the other.
And they can turn it upside down and shake it.
But we're at their whim.
Water, air, opioid, you name it.
We're at their mercy.
We can't allow that.
And the Supreme Court made a colossal blunder with Citizens United that treat corporations as though they were persons when they ought to be constrained completely from the way in which they're allowed to participate in and contribute to elections.
It's all outrageous.
The amounts of money that have been contributed by private entities.
To warp the outcomes is just staggering.
Well, just to point out something here, on citizens, corporations can now have unlimited amount that they can contribute to elections and some campaigns.
We know who the biggest donors are, single donors, and they're all Jewish, or like 15 or 20 of them from both parties are all Jews, Jewish billionaires.
Just like the one we're talking about today for Water in California.
But what they don't trace is the corporate contributions, which, as we know with BlackRock and State Street and Vanguard, they can own the largest block or controlling blocks or the largest blocks of stocks of almost every publicly held company and control their political contributions as well.
And they're controlled by, look who they're controlled by as well.
They're all Jews.
The people, you know, Larry Fink and who he reports to and the guy that runs Vanguard.
And, of course, they own each other.
We've gone over that before.
Vanguard owns BlackRock.
BlackRock owns Vanguard.
Nobody knows who owns the Federal Reserve.
Can't find out on it all.
But guess who?
But that's what we can't have this.
It's just, eventually...
They'll snuff us all out like I think they tried to do with COVID. I think that they'll do eventually with water and air and whatever else they can.
They don't want us around.
They don't want us bum-rushing.
They're gleaming white palaces on the hill.
They don't want the troglodytes going after them.
Peter, I haven't had the chance to speak with you about the Los Angeles fires.
Smart LA cities and the Olympics to come.
I mean, it's all up here so obviously by design.
Do you have any doubt?
Well, you know, there's multiple arsonists that have been found.
And I have a feeling that, and I'm sure as you look at the beautiful Pacific Palisades and Brentwood that have been burned out, and the Altadena and the hills above Pasadena and some south of the 210, as you well know the area, have also and the Altadena and the hills above Pasadena and some south of And they're great prime real estate.
They're going to be bought up at 15 cents on the dollar by giant corporations.
And guess who's going to own those corporations?
Yeah.
The giant real estate corporation.
And it's a massive land grab, and it's also a...
That little clip I played, you know, that Suzanne sent me of Gavin Newsom, giddy, giddy over the fires and the destruction because he sees a huge payoff for him, perhaps even reaching the White House, which would be his aspiration.
He's just a shabby, shallow shit who's in a position to do great damage to a once great state.
I'll tell you what's interesting is, you know, Biden came out just a couple days before the...
Hold on.
Before the fire started.
And just like they all do, when you come in, traffic is backed up all over the place.
It's already bad, but it's worse when all these...
Motorcades are going through.
And they're here to pick up their fat cat checks from the fat cat, you know, guys that own them.
And you know where they all live?
They live in the Hollywood Hills and off Mall Hall.
They live in Palisades and Brentwood.
The heart of the Democratic donors, you know, the entertainment industry, the blue, you know, the blue Jews on the west side of L.A. and Hollywood, they got burned out.
It's going to be interesting to see how they react with their money because of the complete lack of management by Karen Band and Newsom.
You're not going to carry over for a final thought.
We'll be right back with Peter from L.A.
Right back.

Today, my friends, Americans are more pessimistic about the economy than they've been in a very long time.
And it can be soul-crushing to work as hard as you possibly can, still not have enough money for all the bills.
If you're feeling a tremendous amount of stress about your finances, you ain't alone.
According to a recent survey, approximately half the entire population is struggling with mental health issues due to financial stress.
47% of adults say concerns about money have at least occasionally caused anxiety, stress, worrisome thoughts, loss of sleep, depression, or other effects.
That according to Bankrate's latest money and mental health survey.
Bankrate?

Call Kettle Moraine Limited Your final thoughts, Peter?
Well, Well, this whole fire thing has been a perfect confluence of, you know, hey, listen, you've been around.
The Santa Ana winds have been going on for a thousand years, right?
They come every year at the same time.
You know, the Southern California water shortage has been going on forever.
We're short of water, right?
And, by the way, you know, when I lived in the Middle East, In Dubai and Kuwait and all these places, they don't have a lick of water, not a drop, but they spent about half a billion back then, probably a billion and a half now, for desalinization plans.
For what we gave Israel last week, that $8 billion, we could add six of those, right?
Off the coast of California, we wouldn't have to rape the Owens River Valley or the Colorado River, you know, and we wouldn't, our hydrants wouldn't be dry.
What an obvious solution.
What an obvious solution, Peter.
I mean, how ridiculous it hasn't been.
Even Dubai has them, right?
Before that, right?
And they control the political process, right?
But here we have Karen Best.
Now the fires, over 100,000 refugees.
We have a DEI administration.
We have sanctuary cities where there's...
Several million people.
We have no idea who the hell they are.
You saw some of the arsonists were illegal aliens with homemade flamethrowers.
You know, all this stuff in the fire department is three dikes, you know, that none of which, I weigh 220 pounds, could carry me out of a burning home by themselves.
But yet they're at the top of our hierarchy.
It's a confluence of so many failed policies.
It's really hard.
Get your mind around.
Great stuff, Peter.
Great stuff.
Thanks, my friend.
It's always a pleasure to hear from you.
JP in Chicago, join the conversation, JP. Are you there?
JP? Hang on, I got JP. He got cut off.
Here we go.
There he is.
Go for it.
Yeah, my phone rebooted.
I don't know why that happens sometimes.
Known to happen.
Hey, I gotta say, everything Peter's been talking about is right.
We basically got a lead in control, you know, unfortunately.
And I'm worried about Trump in the next four days, Jim.
Yeah.
Especially all the chatter I'm hearing, man.
All kinds of stuff.
Michael Jaco's talking about drones.
He had a date to go to the inauguration, and he had a dream, and he backed off at the last minute because he saw drones come in to attack Trump.
And, you know, everything's been happening last month.
I'm a little scared about it, too.
I would suggest Trump go to Mar-a-Lago.
He'd be protected down there.
What do you say about that?
I think a lot of us share those concerns, JP, a lot of us.
So, we'll see how it plays out, but I'm worried, like you, I'm worried.
Yeah, and we're at a point right now in history, it's four days to go, and Israel's got now, they say they're doing a peace treaty, but they bombarded, like you said, they bombarded Gaza just the other day.
I think Bibi's going to twist it.
You know, Trump had said if Hamas violated the agreement that there'd be hell to pay.
I think Bibi's going to manufacture the appearance of them violating the agreement and there's going to be hell to pay.
The guy is wicked.
He is so unscrupulous.
He's so clever.
He is, I think, The greatest monster on the face of Earth today.
Well, a lot of people claim he was behind the idol.
He what?
He wrote a book about it.
Yeah?
He wrote a book about it before it happened, right?
Well, the book was on terrorism, how the West could win, published in 87, based on a conference held in Jerusalem.
But he and Ehud Umar designed the plan for 9-11 to have a rationale for American forces to enter the Middle East, to take out the modern Arab states that served as a counterbalance to Israel's domination of the entire region and eventually to confront the Persian nation to take out the modern Arab states that served as a counterbalance And of the seven countries in the next five years on the list, only one remains.
We'll see how it plays out, JB.
And Jim, I was briefed on this.
You know, remote viewers were able to look at the big picture, you know, look at the top, go to the falcon at the top, come down from above.
And the elite at the top, they control everything, the banks, the politicians, the intelligence, the internet, you know, everything down, you know, everything from the politicians, of course, and military, and we're just sheeple.
We're sheeple at the bottom, Jim.
JP, I'm going to hold you over for your final thoughts.
Stand by.
We'll be right back.

My name is John, I'm the founder of Blackout Coffee, and I started Blackout because I really love coffee.
I've always loved coffee, and after traveling so much to Europe, South America, and trying so many different coffees that were so good, and every time I came back to the U.S., I was so disappointed with the coffee, so I figured that I had to do something about it.
The biggest difference really is on the beans and the roasting process, how we roast it, and how fresh it is.
The fresher the roast, the better the quality.
Here I have, like, all of the coffee.
It's roasted within one to two days prior to being shipped.
So it literally gets to consumers' house within three to five days after being roasted.
If you like coffee, you have to try ours.
It's fresh roasted.
It's one of the best beans that we can get.
And you will definitely see the difference.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done Nothing you can say that can't be sung Nothing you can say that you can learn how to play the game It's easy Let me just add a pitch for RBN.
We need your help.
If you value these shows, say mine, five days a week, four weeks a month, 20 shows, if you value them just at a buck a show, you could extend your appreciation by sending RBN $20 a month, $20 a month.
And enough of you do that, and we...
We share the burden.
It's not very great.
And we keep RBN on the air.
Let me encourage you.
Please think about doing that.
Make a regular commitment, 20 bucks a month, to keep RBN on the air.
JP, I gotta ask, based on your remote viewing and other experience, do you foresee an attempt to assassinate?
Trump in Washington, D.C. You know,
if he rescheduled, you know, something's going to happen on that day.
So I hope he, you know, Trump moves it or he puts it in a double.
That's my, I'm just getting that out in the air.
But, hey, back to Peter, you know, L.A., Escape from L.A., Escape from New York, those really good movies.
You got to Escape from L.A. right now.
And I got to say, I was briefed on this.
It's like...
They know these things.
They're the nexus points in history, and this is one of them coming up.
So we've got to be really careful.
I know the intelligence agencies know they're going to be briefing Trump out.
He's going to know in advance what to do.
So I really trust that he's going to be protected.
But what we've got to worry about is, you know, the black swans and, you know, the usual suspects that are pushing us into World War III, like Zelensky.
And, you know, B.B. Netanyahu.
Satan Yahoo is his nickname.
So, as a final thought, hey, hey, four days, man.
I'm like, I'm ticking it down where five seconds to midnight.
It's the angel.
This is a spiritual warfare, whether you believe in God or not, Jim.
You know, atheists or, you know, on the fence.
You've got to realize this is a good versus evil battle.
And we're really at the end days.
And I've got to say, anything can happen in the next four days.
And I'm predicting the good guys are going to win.
Well, I'm an exhausting guy.
I certainly agree.
We're in a battle for all the marbles.
I agree with that 100%, JP. Thank you.
Thank you for your call.
HB and Tennessee, join the conversation, HB. Lauren from Ohio?
Lauren from Ohio?
Yeah.
Okay.
Go ahead, Lauren.
I don't have your name down, but go right ahead.
Okay.
Lauren, be concise today.
Now go right ahead.
Okay.
This is just for fun.
ReverseSpeech.com, if you've never heard of it.
He just started a new class.
I took this class, and so what it is is you play something forward, and then something will be spoken in reverse, and there's actually software, so we have this software and do the reversals, and that was what your classes were.
But anyway, somebody ought to reverse Gavin Newsom and that fire chief as they're smiling and giggling, and he has...
Now, I have the old software.
The old software, you just use, it's just the voice.
And it's like all these peaks and valleys.
It's a literal software.
It's cool.
The new software has the visual image of them talking.
So you can see the expression on their faces, their little gleeful, you know, little glints and smiles.
And then when you hear them talking and they say this stuff in reverse, I mean, he's reverse preachers, you know, all these mega preachers, all these Catholic...
You know, priests, all these, like, people, they're saying, oh, I love Jesus, forward, and then in reverse, it's like, I raped the children, or, you know, something really gross.
But I'll tell you what, it's a lot of fun, but you, if you are looking for something to do, these are action items.
I'm kind of done with, you know, what they're doing, and what they're doing to us, and we have no power, and this is just what's going to happen.
Honey, none of this is happening in my life.
There's no difference between me and you and anybody else.
You decide to let these people influence what you do every day.
That's a decision that you make.
Well, Lauren, did you do a reverse speech on Newscom?
And what did you find?
I didn't.
I just thought about it when you were on there talking about it.
Okay.
About the fires.
I just thought about it.
I took notes because I'd been on for like six or seven calls.
So, okay, here, and I'll just go down this real quick.
So the Bitcoin, this is just funny.
The Bitcoin guy, he said, oh, it's like golden Fort Knox.
And I said, you mean the Bitcoin is like not having golden Fort Knox?
Yeah.
I mean, we couldn't even keep hold of the gold.
So now you want to take some air coin that there is no collateral and no real asset backing, and you want to say because people will give you stuff for it now because they're stupid and it's a Ponzi scheme.
But you want to call that an asset that we're going to what, hold in our what, air account?
I mean, it's just the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Then on the Greenland things.
Same thing.
No, the Greenland people, those are the cool people that threw the bankers out.
Remember?
They arrested the bankers.
I love Greenland.
Leave those people alone.
We can't manage our own country, and we're going to sit there, whoa, we need it for our security.
What the hell are you talking about?
You got criminals, pirates, into the ground, and everybody just standing there, whoa, when we vote in the right people, then everything will work.
And meantime, talking about, oh, You don't raise your children.
You got a son that wants to cut his penis off, and you got a daughter who's a butch lesbo, and you got all this craziness in your life.
Your kids are killing the moms and dads, putting them in nursing homes and not giving them water.
I mean, all kind of craziness has been going on.
on this has been going on.
Well, why do we think any of it's going to change?
And so I just, I don't know.
I'm for us, you know, taking action in our own minds and calling up, talking about, hey, this is what I did.
You know, what'd you do today?
Hey, I quit paying taxes.
Hey, I pulled my children out of school.
Hey, I found the Amish people down the street and got some meat.
Hey, I started working without a license.
I'm a plumber.
I'm an electrician.
You don't need permission to be constructive.
The Bible says if a man doesn't work, nor shall he eat.
What business do they have telling you you can or cannot be productive?
Well, I'll tell you what business it is.
You are a 14th little c citizen, and you are their chattel collateral property for the $36 trillion debt, and they can tell you to do anything they want, and you by contract have agreed to do it.
And so that's what I'm saying.
We need to just smarten up.
Remember who's the boss.
We're the boss.
They're only doing this because we're letting them.
We keep listening to them and giving them money and doing what they say.
So we're going to have to stop that crap.
The other thing is, let's just boycott them.
Really, Trump, immediately, if he does not shut those borders, if you've not been listening to Michael Yan, Michael Yan, badass, the biggest bald man I've seen ever.
I mean, this man is talking.
He's saying what I'm saying, but he's a man saying it.
He said it's time for the men to man up.
Stop flapping your gums.
Stop talking about bitching and moaning about what bad things are happening.
Where are the prosecutions?
Go to your prosecutors.
Go to the sheriff.
We got our sheriff arrested.
We got our, what's the next county over, the engineer.
They were stealing money.
They were doing all kinds of stuff.
And so what I'm saying is when people just wake up and shine a light on it and start, all you have to do is quit giving them money, quit doing what they say, quit giving them access to your children.
Give us a final thought, Lauren.
Okay, final thought.
There's a lady, Deborah Tavares, and if you would take a look, she's in California.
She was a real estate developer, and she was saying these fires are intentional.
You are correct.
They are using the microwave units, the weapons.
Directed energy, yeah.
Yeah, the directed energy weapons to burn this stuff down, and she said if you superimpose a map of California, She's
a real estate developer.
We wouldn't have any more problems.
Lauren, it's great.
It's always great to hear from you.
I got four other callers standing by my friend.
Four others.
Okay, bye-bye.
God bless.
Thank you, Lauren.
HB in Tennessee.
HB, join the conversation.
Dr. Fetzer, Lauren stole my thunder on Bitcoin.
Go ahead.
I don't understand Bitcoin.
I don't...
It can be shut off with the flick of a switch.
So she got my thunder there.
But that one caller was saying that Trump ought to get his big stick out and go to work on tariffs and everything.
He needs to get his baseball bat out and get us out of the damn UN. And all this foolishness would stop.
We could free up 170 countries or 180 countries that are in this thing and get us all out from underneath the thumb of the UN. What do you think?
I think it's highly probable it's going to happen.
Highly probable he's going to do that.
I wish he would get ahead of the potential to take himself out, you know?
There's all these potentials for false flags and everything, and these people are saying this and that, and they're plotting against him.
And he's not saying a word about it.
So we just need to get out in front of this stuff, and then when it happens, people can see that we knew about it already.
Yes.
Let's just hope he's safe and sound and doesn't get taken out between now and then.
I'm worried.
I am worried.
Give us a final thought.
Give us a final thought.
Okay, man.
I've been giving out.
I made up some cards, business cards, and I've probably given out.
2,000, 3,000 of them over the years.
They have different messages and different websites on them.
The one I've been handing out lately has got some chemtrails on the front, and then it's got, what if it's not just water vapor, and then I put geoengineeringwatch.org back, and then some websites and stuff like that.
And you get in conversations with people, you can hand them that and say, well, look this up and see what you think.
Yeah.
Good.
Good.
All right.
See you later.
Thanks.
Thanks, HB. Tom.
Tom in Florida, join the conversation.
Tom.
Yeah, good day, Jim.
Yeah, good hearing you.
Yeah, Jim, I want to talk about Stinkin' Blinken, but before I go there, I want to get some pertinent information.
First off, in Florida, we just got a new senator.
Her name is Ashley Moody.
Wonderful thing.
Nancy Mason, beautiful woman in South Carolina, has got her bill passed in Congress.
These illegals are going to have to stay in Mexico, remain in Mexico, and if you kill any crime, if you kill a gum wrapper out of a store, you're going to go back to Mexico.
So I think we'll see how that's going to be fine next week with the Senate and Trump getting in there.
So that's it.
And before I go there, Jim, I want to go back to the real great news that's going on.
First off, three ambassadors of Hollywood.
And they're all, guess what?
Guess what they all have in common, Jim, about three ambassadors of Hollywood now.
You have an idea of what's going on in Hollywood?
Go ahead, Tom.
They're all Christians, Jim.
There's no Jews.
Stallone, Mel Gibson, and John Boyd.
They're all being back through the Hollywood.
Maybe we'll straighten the Hollywood up, and I'll tell you what needs to come back.
We need to bring rock and roll back with long, glam hair bands.
Big hair bands need to come back into the fray.
Instead of this rat crap we've been having for the last 30 years.
We need to bring the 80s back.
We need to bring Ronald Reagan's era back.
We need that era of the grade 80s.
Okay?
Let's bring rock and roll back.
Let's bring long-haired glam bands back.
So, that's the great news.
I'm going to give you some more pertinent information, Jim.
And as far as those fires, there's 100 fire trucks that Peter knows about, and Los Angeles are still sitting in the shop.
Why haven't they been fixed?
How the hell can you put out fires if you don't have no fire engines?
What the hell kind of nonsense is this?
That Karen Bass right now, they've already got the signals.
They've got to recall her.
They've never called that criminal.
So, that's going to happen probably in the near future here.
Jim, here's some breaking news for you guys.
Jim, I want to ask you a question.
Before I got some other pertinent information, Jim, can you tell me what the oldest living animal on Earth is?
The oldest animal on Earth?
What is the oldest living creature that can live?
What's the longest an animal can live on this Earth?
What is the oldest living animal?
It might be the cockroach.
No.
No, cockroach don't live that long, Jim.
Actually, I think the cockroach only lives like 16 weeks when they kick off.
Go ahead, Tom.
Talk about a mammal.
Talk about an animal.
You think it was a tortoise, probably, right?
Tortoise?
What if I told you right now that Donald Trump is probably making the most brilliant idea there ever was in Greenland?
By the way, they found a mineral in Greenland, Jim.
It's unbelievable.
They found a mineral that you've never seen before.
But before I go to the mineral, the longest-living animal, and I want everybody in RBN to go on their little YouTube today and go, man, that calm guy, when did he come?
I want them to look up the Greenland shark.
Look up the Greenland shark, okay?
And you tell me how long that shark lives.
You know when a female Greenland shark gives birth, you know how old that shark's got to be before it pops out of a pup or baby shark?
You know what the year is?
Usually when they have birth to a baby shark, that Greenland shark, Jim?
Tell us, Tom.
They're 90 to 100 years old before they even give birth to another shark.
And another thing these scientists are flipping out on, They have hundreds of scientists studying this creature.
This creature lives 500 years.
They have one right now that's recorded at 397 years.
It was around back in the 16th or 17th century, okay?
397 years old.
This one shark in Greenland.
But they're finding out this shark, only the Inuit Eskimos know how to cook the meat.
If they do kill one and they eat it, you have an average person cook when they die within 20 minutes.
But the Inuits knew how to cook it.
But that shark...
They say this shark actually has every unkey to lock cancer.
This thing lives 500 years.
Now you tell me that Donald Trump, that was the greatest ploy any president could ever make.
There's more fresh water in Greenland than anywhere.
And you can never allow the Chinese or Russians to take a bait on that landmass.
It's too close to the United States.
It's a damn shield to protect us, but Greenland, Jim, has minerals that they don't even know about.
They haven't seen these minerals probably in years.
Tom, my dear friend, I got three other callers.
Give us a final thought.
Well, my final thought is Donald Trump's going to be in power on Monday.
I see what's going on with this immigration already.
He's already ramping it up.
My brother said they had Walmart in Ocala today.
They had that van.
They rounded up 60 illegals out of the Walmart over there in Ocala, Florida.
So if that's the thing to come, get ready.
Strap on.
We're going to get all these illegals out.
Good stuff, Tom.
Good stuff.
Renee, North Carolina.
Renee, you got a couple of minutes.
Go ahead, girl.
Hello.
You there?
Yep.
Okay, I want to compliment Peter.
I am so in agreement with what he is saying.
I have wondered why California does not have desalinization plans.
I have wondered that for years.
It makes no sense.
There has been a plan to take down this country for decades, if not hundreds of years.
There's just something fishy about the whole thing.
And he might like to hear about this because just like about an hour ago on TYT Sports, Jesse Ventura came out with a video that said exactly what Peter is saying.
It's called Jesse Ventura lays the beat down on the monster.
We're ruining our lives.
And he's saying the same thing about these billionaires.
And see, I'm so glad Peter said it, because if I would have said this without Peter saying it first, he'd be like, oh, hey, she's a comic, a Marxist comic.
So they can't, well, they'll find a way to attack me without attacking him.
But see, these people that are rich now make the robber barons of the past look like amateurs.
And there was one called Jay Gould.
And he said he could hire half the working class to kill the other half.
And that's basically what they do.
That's why, you see, it's all about money and using the carrot and the stick.
And what they do, the reason all your public servants have to work such a shorter time to get a retirement...
Great health insurance and a great retirement that is actually after 20 years that really is wonderful to live on.
Somebody in Social Security would think they won the lottery, okay?
But see, that's why they're willing.
They have to do that.
They basically, the master makes those people be the house slaves.
And the overseer is to control us civilian field slaves.
Give us a final thought.
Give us a final thought today, Renee, and then call in earlier.
Tomorrow we'll talk longer.
Give us a final thought.
Okay, well, like I say, y'all need to see that new Jesse Ventura video on TYT Sports.
Because like I say, I have no problems with honest capitalism, but we don't have that.
We have corrupt...
Yes.
But if you dare to say anything, they call you names.
So thank you, Peter.
Thank you, Renee.
John in Michigan.
John, thank you.
Join the conversation, John.
Jim, thank you.
I have to clarify something about Greenland throwing out the bankers.
It's Iceland that threw out the bankers.
But Greenland is strategic, and it is a good move, I would think, because of its natural resources.
Deborah Tavares, I've been talking to her for years.
I have her personal phone number.
At StopTheCrime.net, she explains about all of California's controlled environment issues and that there is a land grab.
It's tied to Agenda 21 and Agenda 30, and I did send you links to all of that information.
Also, the Federal Register, which I... Well, it's tied to the bankruptcy, and we're still in that bankruptcy, and so everything is connected to that.
All these agencies, the presidency is an agency, and so people have to get informed as to where their powers come from, and it comes from the Federal Register.
Just go look up Federal Register, folks, and you'll see that they have to file and publish any of their mandates or orders.
That's the NIC, the NIH, the CDC, all of them, even Mayorkas.
When he was going to go build all these detention centers around the country, they said, well, we don't have the funding for it.
He says he's going to use housekeeping.
Well, that comes right out of the Federal Register.
So Iceland is the one that threw out the bankers, folks, not Greenland.
Thanks, Josh.
And you don't hear much about Iceland anymore.
Good stuff, John.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Final caller, James in Vancouver.
James in Vancouver, join the conversation, James.
We lost James.
You lost James?
Yeah, he might have hung up or got dropped.
Have we got John?
Have we got John back?
No, no, he's gone.
Okay, everyone.
Let me make another pitch for RBN.
We got to keep on the air.
This is much too important a program, much too important a station, much too important a network.
RBN deserves your support.
Think about it, what you can do.
$20 a month, is that excessive?
Put yourself on, is there a plan where you can automatically contribute?
20 bucks a month.
Mike, is that something that can be done?
Mike, is that something that can be done?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I missed you.
I had a call.
Yeah.
Can we do an automatic $20 contribution to our BN? Is there a way of setting that up?
Yeah, PayPal will let you do that.
Pretty easily.
And also, they can just call us here at the network, 800-724-2719, and we'll get you set up.
Wonderful, Mike.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
Well, we can see what we're up against.
I'm worried JP's talking about, others talking about Trump possibly being in danger.
I think that Netanyahu is going to double-cross the peace agreement with Hamas.
He wants Hamas dead.
He's a small, rich guy.
They believe in genocide.
They don't believe in ceasefire.
They don't believe in peace.
And I'm afraid we're going to be up against that.
We've got Tom in Florida if you want to give him a second.
Okay, Tom.
Go ahead, Tom.
Ed, go ahead.
Tom.
There he is.
I just want to say to John, great call.
I just want to say, John, great call.
But listen, Jim, you've got to realize something about, of all the world history, the one landmass that man never was until the Vikings went there was Iceland.
Iceland is a fantastic country also.
The minerals are incredible.
Free electricity on the island.
The thermal volcanic action.
So yeah, John, that was a great call.
But Greenland has got, at all costs, Jim, at least stay in the hands militarily.
We can never allow Russia or China to put a base there.
And as far as Iceland goes, that's the only landmass where a man went.
There was no native population.
The Vikings are the ones that discovered Iceland.
I want everybody to know that.
The Danes.
The Danes and the Norwegians.
Thanks for that addendum, my friend.
Everyone, spend as much time as you can with your family, your friends, the people you love and care about.
