Iran's Unlikely Fall 00:05:01
	This is Jim Fetzer, your host on the Raw Deal, right here on Revolution Radio Studio Blue, this 21st day of January, 2026, joined by Russ Winter.
	Joachima Gopian is on a break.
	Paul from California may also join.
	This is a modified, fearsome, foresome addition.
	We have a number of developments in relation to Iran, some of which are genuinely startling and significant.
	I begin with a few that are not in that category.
	According to Trump and Israel, regime change is Iran's future.
	There's an effort here to promote the son of the Shah of Iran, who had a despotic run, ruling Iran from the coup during which the democratically elected President Mossadegh was overthrown by the CIA under the control of Hermit Roosevelt, a cousin of former President Theodore, and replaced with a Shah, who from 1953 to 1979 ran a reign of terror.
	Israel and the United States may think they could foster off the son of the Shah as a new leader for Iran, but that is so preposterous.
	It reflects wishful thinking, true delusions.
	Here we have Paul Craig Roberts.
	If Iran falls or submits to Trump and Israel, the cost will be paid by the loss of credibility of Russia and China, who do nothing but talk and never take action.
	BRICS will be weakened.
	The new Chinese Silk Road will be blocked.
	Apparently, neither Putin nor Zai are capable of accepting reality and acting in their country's interest.
	Just as Putin stood aside while the Ukrainian government was overthrown and Washington installed its anti-Russian public government and stood aside again, hiding behind the Minsk agreement while Washington built it and equipped a large Ukrainian army with which to take the two breakaway republics, retake the two breakaway republics in Donpass, Donetsk and Luhans.
	Putin is again standing aside.
	If Iran falls, subversive elements will be able to enter Russia and destabilize the Russian Federation.
	I don't think it's quite that bad.
	Meanwhile, Tehran has defeated the new color revolution, the true secret reports.
	What does this mean?
	Strategic culture rewarding.
	We're practically accustomed to it by now.
	Despite many protests in recent times, falsely categorized as color revolutions, when we see particularly violent and organized protests in Iran, we generally know we are dealing with a color revolution.
	Western reactions are so predictable and automatic, they seem mechanical.
	Regardless of the concrete circumstances behind the events, the West always framed protests in Iran as something related to oppressed women, even when there's no connection.
	It's as if the West hasn't truly gotten over the failure of the last large-scale color revolution attempt in 2022-23, following the death of Masha Amini.
	That's why, although the protest waves that began in December 28 were led by unions and jobkeepers and were related to concrete recent problems, such as the water crisis, caused by years of mismanagement of Iranian aquifers and economic instability, caused by unthoughtful economic policies of the president, images more likely to resonate with a distorted Western imagination, and with its scarcely...
	disguised, perverse yearnings for sexual tourism and portographic profamation of Iranian women's bodies quickly spread on social media.
	But they were able to defeat it.
	It was being coordinated using Starlink.
	Once they got rid of Starlink, they were able to rapidly identify those who had come to the United States, to Iran in order to foment unrest.
	And the consequences were a rabbit mopping up where they have at least 80 of these traitors who are threatened with execution, public execution, no doubt by cranes, but where the Iranians have withheld doing that.
Graham's Setup Revealed 00:15:23
	Meanwhile, Scott Ritter says this is actually far more lethal or threatening than you might think.
	Scott has recently been debating.
	And I'm going to guess that on the last line, you agree with him.
	I'm not going to read all of it, but it says the Iranian regime is in trouble.
	Bringing in mercenaries is the last best hope.
	Now to the bottom, happy new year to every Iranian in the streets.
	Ready for this, Scott?
	Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them.
	Why would he say that?
	Why would he admit to that?
	They're confident of victory.
	I mean, this is just a case of arrogance.
	They actually thought they had a plan.
	Judge, all you had to see on social media, every pro-Israeli bot was out there saying the same thing, promoting the same nonsense, creating the same garbage.
	And the whole idea was to create a sense of inevitability that would empower the American people to tell Donald Trump, we stand with Iran, bomb Iran, bomb Iran.
	And Pompeo was part of that system, and Pompey was simply playing his role.
	Here's somebody who's part of that system who is brokenhearted that the United States did not bomb last night.
	You'll know who this is, Chris Cut number 13.
	There are a lot of headlines out there that are, in my view, not accurate.
	President Trump's resolve is not the question.
	The question is, when we do an operation like this, should it be bigger or smaller?
	I'm in the camp of bigger.
	Time will tell.
	I'm hopeful and optimistic that the regime days are numbered.
	Compare and contrast that with the giddiness, the cackling of Graham on the air.
	We're going to bomb them now.
	We're going to get him.
	It's over.
	Remember that just a couple of days ago?
	Love this, Lindsey Graham.
	I almost feel sorry for him, except I don't.
	But, you know, but the fact of the matter is, his scheme failed.
	And, you know, again, I'm not in the support Donald Trump business, but I have to tell you, this was something that was cooked up in Mar-a-Largo.
	I mean, Lindsey Graham has admitted it.
	This is something that Netanyahu and Trump cooked up when Netanyahu was visiting Marlowe.
	This was all planned.
	There's extensive planning going on between the Mossad, the CIA, British intelligence, Dutch intelligence, and every intelligence agency in the world that has been lined up against the Iranians.
	You know, and yet the United States didn't pull the trigger until it was too late.
	And I just have to sit there and go, Trump knew what he was doing.
	I mean, it seems to me that Trump set up Lindsey Graham, set up Netanyahu, set him all up because they shot their bolt.
	The Mossad network that was used is gone, finished.
	I mean, the Israelis panicked in the end.
	When they lost communication with them, they tried to shove in a whole bunch of new Starlink communication kits.
	And the Iranians were just sitting there waiting for him to come in, go, thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	Because the Iranians broke the code, got in there.
	Thanks to the Russian for Russia, the help of Russia, by the way.
	So it's all over.
	That entire network's gone.
	It took decades to build that network up.
	It's gone.
	So Graham knows what happened.
	There is no capacity to replicate the opportunity that was lost.
	Now, he's trying to be nice and say it's not Donald Trump's fault.
	It's 100% Donald Trump's fault.
	And you have to ask yourself, was this deliberate?
	Is it just incompetence, which I can also accept, or was this deliberate?
	A setup so that Netanyahu and Graham and everybody else stops talking to him about overthrowing the Iranian regime because they no longer have the tools to do so.
	Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
	And the situation getting worse.
	Nevertheless, here's Truth Seeker reporting.
	Trump's dangerous scheme in Iran could be the end of America as we know it from strategic culture.
	Is Trump serious about what many believe are impending airstrikes on Iran from his administrative perspective?
	The campaign against Iran is achieving its intended results, sowing chaos, destabilizing the regime while flooding the internet with fabricated videos depicting atrocities by Iranian security forces.
	This is not to say the regime is not killing protesters.
	It is.
	But producing fake news via social media clips, we have the opposite effect.
	Tehran could exploit the CIA Mossad disinformation campaign as cover, using the fog of war to intensify its crackdown with even higher casualties, reasoning it has little left to lose.
	Western media, of course, is not reporting the substantial domestic support the Iranian regime retains in its defiance against Israel and America.
	Major outlets ignore recent pro-government demonstrations that brought over a million into the streets.
	Iranians are savvy.
	Even those dissatisfied with their government recognize the game being played by Israel and the U.S. and refuse to fall for it.
	Now, when I said there's been a major development, I did not mean any of those.
	What I mean is that Iran now claims to have a 10,000-kilometer missile, strategic shockwaves, as Tehran signals its ability to strike the United States.
	Iran's claim that it has successfully tested a ballistic missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers, a capability that would blaze the continental United States firmly within theoretical striking distance, represent the most consequential alleged escalation in Dehran's strategic weapon posture since the inception of its ballistic missile program during the Iran-Iraq war.
	The assertion disseminated through state-affiliated outlets, including the National News Agency, has been amplified by Iranian parliamentarians and senior regime-allied figures, most notably Mohsen Zangma, member of Iran's modulus, who publicly stated the night before last, we tested one of the country's most advanced missiles, which until now had not, so to speak,
	been tried.
	And that test was successful.
	He had reinforced the gravity of the claim in a separate interview two nights ago.
	We tested one of the country's most advanced missiles, which not tested it with successful language, deliberately framed to signal intercontinental capability rather than incremental range extension.
	Russ, I regard this as historic, of enormous military and political significance.
	And I think we're going to see a dramatic cessation in talk about attacking Iran.
	Your thoughts?
	Well, they very well could have some nuclear warheads to put on those missiles.
	They probably have had them for some time secretly, probably obtained from North Korea and/or Pakistan.
	In fact, I would think that they probably have lots of nuclear warheads.
	But now that it can reach the United States, I guess it's significant.
	So that's kind of a great equalizer in terms of that regard.
	Now, the other element is this talk about regime change.
	So I'm going to give you a little background on what I understand the Iranian regime to be.
	They're very dominated by the Revolutionary Guard.
	Now, keep in mind, they've been in power for coming up on a half a century.
	So they completely, you would have to completely reform the entire country, purge dozens, you know, hundreds, if not thousands, of political operatives, revolutionary guard members, because they own the economy.
	They're the ones that really have the economy locked down.
	They own the buildings, the real estate.
	It's a little bit like in Turkey, where the military owns a good chunk of the economy.
	So you'd have to root them out because their whole livelihood and their whole wealth is tied to them staying in power.
	So you have a regime change.
	So what?
	You know, there's all kinds of guys underneath that can step up and replace, step up and replace, step up and replace.
	So that's just not really a realistic goal.
	Now, punishing Iran and bombing them and terrorizing them, you know, they could certainly do that, which is probably when these nuclear warheads will come into play.
	Now, I'm going to make a comment on China.
	I think China just kind of exploits Iran.
	They did send 24 cargo planes full of weapons.
	Who knows what?
	I mean, the thinking is that they now have the S-400, so they got Iran kind of prepared for being bombed and air raided.
	But I think Iran just kind of likes to buy sanctioned cheap oil.
	And I mean, China.
	China's filling up their strategic reserve very, very rapidly.
	They're grabbing all the cheap oil around the world and just filling up their strategic reserve.
	And once they get, that gets topped out, then they probably won't have too much use for Iran.
	But I just think they kind of like the shit storm so they can take advantage of Iran.
	Sad to say.
	Yeah.
	Good stuff, Russ.
	Paul, you joined late, but you picked up the key stories about Iran defeating the color revolution.
	As I explained, it had to do with shutting down Starlink, which was being used to communicate.
	Then it turned out it was pretty easy to round up.
	They have like 80 agent provocateur awaiting execution.
	But this development of this long-range missile that could hit the United States seemed to me to be a bona fide.
	We hear the word all the time, but this, I think, is a bona fide game changer.
	Your thoughts?
	Well, yeah, what Russ said was far more interesting, I think, than what I'm going to say.
	And he seems to be fairly well informed.
	You already know I don't believe they have that missile.
	So, I mean, I don't believe in nukes, and I don't believe they have a missile that can reach that far on some very good grounds.
	So, you know, what's going on over there?
	I, you know, I couldn't say, you know, let's face it, we're told certain things are happening.
	I think both sides are engaging in propaganda.
	And what I am still perplexed, and this is sort of a tongue-in-cheek question, but what has Iran done to us?
	What has Iran done to Israel that, you know, we have to worry about them?
	All they did was defend themselves against, you know, what Israel and the United States were doing to them, right?
	Yeah, big boogeyman.
	It's a big boogeyman deal.
	You know, they fired some missiles and then they stopped, right?
	In other words, they didn't sustain any lengthy campaign against Israel.
	So why are they so terrible?
	I mean, I know there's lots of movies made about them.
	The whole thing is very, very infuriating, to be honest with you.
	Paul, it's all obvious as a part of the Greater Israel Project.
	This is a 9-11 agenda to take out the governments of seven countries in the next five years.
	They began with Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, work their way up to eventually Syria.
	And then Iran was next on the list as a one-a-income plate.
	It hasn't been finished.
	But Paul's point has been obvious for decades that this was the agenda.
	But Paul's point was that what have they done to us?
	That's how Paul worded it.
	Okay.
	So part of the Greater Israel Project, that's also true.
	I'm not quibbling with the narrative and what is, I mean, everything you just said, Jim.
	In other words, we've all heard this for quite a while, but I just keep coming back to this idea of to what end?
	You know, in other words, it doesn't make any sense.
	First of all, there's not enough so-called Jews, right, to populate that entire area.
	It's different.
	I mean, when we had a westward expansion here in the U.S., there was population pressure.
	Just like there was at the time, there was population pressure in Europe to come to the United States and so on.
	Towards what end, what are they going to gain by this regime change?
	It's just these people are just bizarre beyond belief.
	In my opinion, yeah.
	Go ahead, Chris.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, the goal is arrested development.
	That's been the goal all along, just to kind of keep them backward, keep them from really advancing and proving themselves as a people.
	And that's been the plan for the whole Middle East.
	That's what these wars are about.
	That's what these genocides are about.
	That's a plan everywhere.
	Yeah, I don't think it's so much about Greater Israel.
	I just think it's a project to impose arrested development on whole regions of the world, selected regions.
	So, for example, we didn't apply that arrested development to China when we so-called opened up China and basically made them a major world power.
	I mean, without us, you know, not with really us.
	We know who did it.
	So China's not in Israel's neighborhood, so they just kind of look at that's how that yeah.
	Sure.
	And of course, they were perfect to undermine us, undermine the West.
	So that's what they were doing.
	In other words, the group of usual suspects is doing what they do best, unfortunately.
	I think we can all agree with that.
	Meanwhile, migrants.
	Mass immigration is destroying Europe.
	Look at the guys just standing, looking.
	They don't want to get knifed.
	They don't want to have to take a knife.
	The guy's big.
	Yeah, guys that are tall like that have a lot of leverage, too.
	I just don't understand what's going on in Europe.
	You know what, Israel?
	If shit like this happens in Israel, people get fucking beat up.
Yemen Bombing Surge 00:02:25
	Like in Israel, like maybe in Tel Aviv, but even in Tel Aviv, people are fucking gangster.
	And I'm not calling Israelis gangster, but if you beat up on a woman, if you're robbing a woman.
	Yeah.
	Bad stuff.
	Meanwhile, Saudis have joined Israel and the U.S. in resuming bombing of Yemen, where the Houthis have shown so much courage.
	They've openly declared war on Israel, and they are ferocious warriors.
	2025 marked the deadliest year in a while for Yemen with heavy air campaigns from the U.S. and the U.K. along with high casualty strikes from Israel, being joined by Saudi Arabia in December, which hadn't carried out its own strikes against Yemen 2022 and started a large campaign at the end of December in the south and east.
	Now, the Saudis have shown restraint because the Houthis have the ability to take out their oil refineries.
	And frankly, that may well happen now.
	The late December Saudi strikes sent around the city of Al-Mukkal and with the start of a move to try to eliminate the STC, the southern separatist movement in Yemen.
	This continued into January and is starting to set the stage for a challenging 2026 for Yemen.
	2025's airstrikes led to 1,336 civilian casualties, a massive increase from the 297 of 2024.
	More than half of those casualties were from U.S. strikes, while Israel only carried out about 10% of the strikes, but caused around 47% of the civilian casualties.
	2026 looks like it may be defined less by external attacks than by internal concern, particularly persistent food shortages running up against slash humanitarian aid budgets, which are leading the UN and aid groups to warn that pockets of the country could quickly fall from food insecurity to outright famine, which of course is precisely what the Israelis are promoting in Israel in Gaza.
French Jam, US Criticizes 00:02:35
	Meanwhile, the French UN troops in Lebanon have jammed and chased off an Israeli drone.
	French troops, part of the UN Interim Force, countered a hostile drone in southern Lebanon by deploying a French mate jamming rifles repelling the aircraft, the craft back toward Israel.
	Earlier this month, footage circulated on social media showing a group of UNFL forces stationed in the southern part of Lebanon, pointing a jammer in the sky in an apparent op against a drone.
	Meanwhile, the U.S. Army Secretary says the drone buster is effing terrible.
	This appears to be a device being used by the United States as soldiers continue to use the tech.
	Army Secretary Dan Driscoll criticized a counter-drone system soldiers have been using for years, including as recently as last month.
	The Army's most senior civilian official criticized a counter-drone system.
	Soldiers have been deploying for months, including in training and on patrols along the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.
	Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told Soldier during a town hall at Fort Drum, New York, that drone busters, a handheld jammer designed to zap unmined aerial systems outsky, zaffing terrible in his experience.
	It's a joke.
	It's similar things we deploy to Iraq with that gesture thinking like, why, why is who thought it was a good idea?
	What's its use?
	So whether it's true or not as a particular manner, but if you agree that it's terrible, you got to say it.
	His comments come as the Army licked up as its counter USA UAS rapportoi topic often gained less attention compared to snazzy buzz drones the military likes to showcase rust.
	Obviously, counter-drone technology is going to be a huge element of warfare in the future.
	I'm a little confused by the guy's use of his words, so he said...
A Dark World's Light 00:04:35
	Yeah, put that article back up, Jim.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	We'll hit it when we come back.

Trump Administration Whiners 00:15:11
	You're listening to Revolution Radio, FreedomSlips.com, 100% listener-supported radio.
	And now we return you to your host.
	He said that I thought I heard him say that number one, this is a very effective countermeasure against drones.
	He didn't exactly say that, but he did by admission sort of say that.
	However, it was a joke.
	And I don't know why a military expert would say that affective countermeasure against drones is a joke.
	So I'm not quite sure what he was kind of conveying.
	He just sounded like he's whining.
	Typical Trump administration whiners.
	Is that how you guys read it?
	Well, before we turn to Paul, he's saying it's just not a useful method.
	He never endorsed it, Russ.
	He's criticizing it 100%.
	He's being consistent.
	Not inconsistent, though.
	I don't know the technical basis for the criticism.
	Perhaps it emerges later.
	Go ahead, Balk.
	Well, what's happening to this text on the screen there?
	I can't.
	There, over there.
	It's back again.
	No, the thing that caught my eye, go back up to the start of the article, is it says here, okay, he told soldiers at a town hall.
	Stop, stop moving it.
	Oh, okay.
	At a town hall in Fort Drum, New York.
	What is that?
	Okay, again, I've never been in the military, but I don't understand.
	What the heck is a town hall at Fort Drum, New York?
	This the whole thing sounds, I mean, this idea of this being published, okay, and what this guy said, and that there aren't going to be, you know, higher-ups that are going to have a problem with him talking like this.
	And this is, I mean, I mean, obviously, we're consuming this.
	It's not just within the military.
	It's just, I don't know.
	It just caught my eye.
	I thought it's kind of strange.
	Let's see what he's got to say.
	Drumbusters are a registered trademark when a company makes a handheld system.
	Design technology, design technologies, respectfully quite secretary.
	Second, design.
	That's how it's meant to be said.
	Yeah.
	Design.
	Good, Paul.
	You're right.
	Secretary of the Army's recent comments likely referred to early generation drone buster system developed during a much earlier stage of the counter UAS landscape.
	Unmanned aerial systems, I'm sure.
	The company director of marketing, in a statement and response, added the earlier models requested by Pentagon in 2016 were important at the time, but were never designed to confront the speeds of instigation and scale of today's unmanned threats.
	Drones have evolved immensely as heavily invested in advancing the drone buster platform.
	So in other words, the guy's whining.
	The guy is whining.
	Yeah, the technology advanced and is countering the drone technology.
	So this guy's whining about it.
	I just took note of this.
	You know, the company's spokesperson, an extremely Israeli sounding name.
	Go back.
	Well, see what I'm saying, brother.
	Go back.
	Put the article back up.
	Sure.
	Maybe it's an Israeli Israeli company.
	No, I'm certain of it.
	They are all over that sort of, I believe, there's a lot of Israeli.
	Yeah, you know, it's a good idea to peel back the onion when you spot things like that.
	I think that's going right there.
	So it says there.
	Tricia Navadzov.
	Navazada.
	Yeah, believe me, that's very, I guarantee you, she's Israeli.
	Couldn't well be, Paul.
	Listen, Google, Google Design.
	If we have time, let's Google the company.
	Let's just take a look at who they are.
	But it sounds to me like they've developed an effective technology.
	Just because they're Israeli or run by Jews, it doesn't mean they can't come up with very good technology.
	No, that's again, but you know, we always.
	It be like the Indian hunters out there going after the Comanche and they're using pistols that are designed by the Comanches.
	I don't know.
	Here are poor analogy, but these stories about Greenland.
	Miller and Greenland.
	We haven't taken them over yet.
	Come on.
	What are we waiting for?
	Not entitled to territories they cannot defend, according to Stephen Miller.
	That's a brilliant diplomacy there.
	You're not entitled to shit.
	I can't pay.
	We're the only ones that can defend shit.
	We're taking over.
	The breeze in this.
	Sorry, hot people.
	You're ripping it apart.
	Okay.
	We already got the highlight right there.
	Don't really need to go anymore's argument that acquiring Greenland is essential for U.s national security.
	The new domain of international competition is going to be polar competition, he told FOX, seeking to justify proposal to take over the Arctic island, a Semi-autonomous Danish territory.
	That's where more and more resources are being spent by our nation's adversaries and rivals, the ability to control movement, navigation and planes of travel in the Polar and Arctic region.
	That may be true, but hardly warrants are seizing it.
	Meanwhile, make America go away.
	Denmark incensed by drum bush for Greenland.
	Some protesters expressed fear if they spoke out about Trump, his admin could bar them from visiting the United States.
	It wouldn't surprise me.
	Kobanhagen, on a cold, foggy afternoon in downtown Gobenhagen, military veteran Flaming Allman joined thousands of fellow dro Danes and what he said was the first protest he's ever participated in, posing that Trump Admin bush to acquire Greenland.
	I've actually never done this before demonstrating, but this is very important to me.
	Almint 57 told NBC.
	He said he'd been following developments and felt I need to do something.
	An estimated 10 000 Danes gathered in the city All Square saturday afternoon to express their frustration with president Trump's ratar prick.
	The crowd, including parents with small children as well as older Danes wore hats in the silent.
	Make a cabinet squall with.
	Make America go away and wave Greenland flags.
	Sign saying hands off Greenland.
	More significant perhaps?
	Representative Mike Turner, no authority to take Greenland by force.
	This is from Newsmax.
	Well, representative Mike Turner of Ohio acknowledges there's a national security issue with respect to Greenland.
	He said there are also issues of checks and balances and limits on president Trump's authority to act without congressional approval.
	The president's not wrong, such as national security issue with respect to Greenland.
	Turner, a key member of the GANG OF Eight as chair of the House Intel Committee, told CVS sunday there are national security issues there in the Arctic itself and with respect to Green, But there certainly is no authority.
	The president has to use military force to seize territory from a NATO country and certainly there's a problematic that the president made.
	This statement has caused, you know, tension within the alliance.
	Go ahead, Russ.
	This is, this is the new whole new world order thing that Miller is talking about, because what you do is you declare somebody somewhere a national security interest and he's basically saying they can't defend it.
	We are the only one that can defend against alleged boogeymens or uh, enemies or whatever, whatever they want to label, and you could take over, you could dominate the whole world with that strategy, just by making declarations.
	Oh well, you know, Panama Canal, that's in our national interest.
	We need to take that column just on and on and on.
	You can just and, or just just by saying it, you can try to dominate whole swaths of the world that way.
	It's ridiculous and a ridiculous thing to even say that if you can't defend it, you can't own it.
	Yeah uh, you know, works for me, I mean as a, as a lawless bully, it's perfect, you know hey, you know, It's kind of like, you know what, I'm bigger and stronger than you.
	So if I could take that watch, it rightfully belongs to me.
	That's how the new world order works.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I left with this whole thing about it's gonna the polar region now is going to be the new whatever no field of conflict.
	The next thing you turn around, we're gonna have a MS-13 up there in Trendiagua going up to Greenland.
	So we got to take it over.
	Iran, Iran's gonna go up there.
	Oh, for God.
	They're gonna recruit armies of penguins to fight on each side.
	You can't make this up.
	You really can't make it up.
	They are watching us.
	They are admitting they're watching us.
	They're building these databases to watch us.
	And many people are cheering it on.
	Don't be naive.
	Don't say this is the only way to crack down on illegal immigration.
	That is not true.
	That is a lie.
	Just like they fed the lie to all of these people that everybody needed a COVID vaccs passport in order to live life because that was going to keep you safe.
	It's happening.
	Of course, right now, the excuse is they're using it on illegals in order to get them out of the country.
	And of course, this would never be used against American citizens, or would it?
	We're going to create a database.
	Those people that are arrested for interference in PEMA assault, we're going to make them famous.
	One question that many have had is: why doesn't ICE have body cams?
	Why are they using cell phones all the time and recording people?
	Maybe they aren't recording, but they're scanning faces instead.
	Read this caption under Getty: a border patrol agent scans the face of a driver as they stop and question him in the streets during an immigration enforcement operation.
	So they're scanning this person's face.
	Now, you might say, well, they're only scanning the illegals.
	How do they know who's an illegal before they scan them?
	So when you see all of these ICE agents going around with their cell phones, they might be recording in order to make sure that they can shake it down later.
	But they're also maybe scanning faces.
	I mean, that's clearly what they are doing in some of the cases at least.
	But take a look at this.
	Palantir is working on a tool for immigration and customs enforcement that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person and provides a confidence score on the person's current address.
	If they can compile the database on everybody, then they can identify the people they do not have data on.
	That is how they would identify an illegal.
	Think about that.
	How else would they identify an illegal?
	They don't have documentation.
	So the only way that they can identify an illegal is by identifying the rest of us.
	And that's exactly what has gone on.
	Trump taps Palantir to compile data on Americans.
	The push has put a key Palantir product called Foundry into at least four federal agencies, including, okay, the Department of Homeland Security.
	And wait a minute, what?
	Health and Human Services Department?
	Oh, you want to give us COVID vaccine passports and track us and make sure that we've taken the jab four times like we're supposed to.
	How did deportations happen prior to this?
	Because they did.
	So we don't need this.
	We can do things another way.
	We don't need to spy on every American.
	And worse off, develop the very databases that will be used against us by a different administration because Trump will not be president forever.
	I mean, or maybe, or maybe he will be.
	Maybe he will be, Ross.
	That was really good.
	I mean, that's kind of what we've been talking about too.
	And it's actually the topic of my meme when we get to it later on.
	The truth of the matter is, they're really not deporting that many people.
	I mean, I saw a story where they were going to deport like 2,500 Somalians.
	That's nothing.
	Yeah, we've made this point on FTJ multiple times.
	It's just, it's like we're in a place that we don't want to be at.
	But at the same time, there's no, I mean, obviously, Palantir and the whole thing is not a benevolent direction we're going in, you know.
	But at the same time, they're not deporting enough, you know, to suit us.
	They're not really doing it.
	It's all good.
	I mean, we really do want massive deportation.
	And the fact that she's correct.
	I mean, I'm sure this technology is going to be helpful, you know, for many things that they do.
	However, you know, we've never needed it.
	Everybody recognizes what an illegal alien looks like for the most part, you know.
	So it's, it's sort of like, but this is what they're destroying our sense of national identity, which they've been doing for many decades now, right?
	I mean, I've seen the covers, and I'm sure you have too, Jim and Russ, the covers of Time magazine and even National Geographic, where they have who is an American, right?
	And they show all these people from all over the world.
	I mean, if that's not a campaign waste against us against, you know, white Western man, then I don't know what it is.
	So it's like we're, it's, it's a sticky mess, and that's that's why I'm a white nationalist because it's well, you know, the thing is that the problem in the United States is 55% white.
	It's fieta compili.
	You got 45% of the country or different racial mixes or whatever, and a lot of mixed race people anymore.
	So it's, it's a, you can kind of, you know, you can kind of enclave and have protections for where whites live and want to congregate, but the country is full of non-whites.
	It's nothing you can do about it.
	Well, that's that's not exactly true, but I know what you're saying.
	What are you going to do?
	Load them up by the millions and send them to the city.
	Well, they had, it took them quite a while in Spain, but they did it in Spain.
	Queen Isabella finished them off.
	Well, you know, I mean, look, I mean, we don't have to turn this into a white nationalist show, but let's face it, you know, they're not going anywhere without force.
	So they had to do it in Europe.
	And if we want what we want here, then it has to be done here.
	Otherwise, they should have made barriers several decades ago.
Strange Train Derailment 00:07:28
	So it's kind of too late.
	It's kind of like we got to stop.
	And they're really not doing anything other than token removal of some people.
	I get it.
	I know what you're saying.
	It's sort of like.
	What position do you take?
	Go ahead, Jim.
	Sorry.
	Speaking of Spain, after Spain recognizes that Palestinian state in Israel threatens revenge, 39 killed in an extremely strange train disaster.
	Spain's transport minister, Belante, said this derailment occurred on a straight section of track that was recently renovated.
	According to him, the train that derailed was almost brand new, making the accident extremely strange and very difficult to explain.
	The locomotive was built in 2022, last intact January 15th, found to be in proper condition.
	Death toll in the train disaster in southern Spain has risen to 39.
	He has confirmed, according to him, the number of casualties could still increase.
	About 152 were injured, 24 critically.
	The accident occurred Sunday at approximately 7:45 p.m. during the town of Edemuz in Cordoba, Province, about 224 miles south of the capital of Madrid.
	A high-speed aerial company train traveling from Malaga to Madrid derailed from the tracks.
	Shortly afterwards, struck by an Alva company train coming the opposite direction at a speed of 200 kilometers, 124 miles an hour.
	Around 500 passengers were on both trains.
	Drone footage from the disaster showed crushed and twisted carriages lying on their side, and passengers were extracted through shattered windows.
	Others evacuated on stretchers.
	The heroine testimony from the disaster had become emerging.
	Montez passenger on the Alvet train told public TV the train stopped completely and everything went dark.
	Suitcases flew at the bass and tenant seen behind me hit on the head, bleeding.
	Children were crying.
	Luckily, I was in the last car.
	I feel like I received my live a second time.
	Nothing would surprise me that this could have been done by Israel.
	It's retaliation is completely plausible to me.
	Well, you know, those trains are that train, I've actually been on a similar train going up to Madrid.
	And those are pretty remote countries.
	There's really nothing out there.
	So it's not like you have a whole bunch of towns and population.
	It's not like India or someplace where somebody could put something on the track.
	And the trains are fast.
	So they're really vulnerable to sabotage.
	They definitely are.
	It was going 124 miles an hour.
	They really zip along.
	This is a head-on collision.
	Is that what this was?
	Just derail them.
	Oh, just derailed.
	There was one plane crash, and then the other hit it after it had crashed.
	I see.
	Okay.
	But look at the look at the look at the track on the picture.
	It's pretty amazing.
	I mean, they are amazing trains.
	They're really fun to travel on.
	You can really get places fast.
	What is a shame?
	And I would think that this kind of thing would really be vulnerable, particularly anywhere we have high-speed trains.
	See, the catch is this is just the kind of thing the Israelis would do.
	You know, I mean, ballots.
	Yeah, poisoning the well type stuff.
	Yeah.
	It's speculation.
	Yeah, I'd need more info to have an opinion about this.
	Well, we have the similar story going on in Pantagonia where they're actually arresting Israelis.
	It was new track.
	It was a new train.
	There's no reasonable reason to think it should have happened other than sabotage.
	And if you look at who would have the money for sabotage Israel right there front and center.
	That's pretty anti-Semitic there, Jim.
	Well, we have Pentagonia.
	We have some comparables.
	Oh, yeah.
	Meanwhile, we got people getting blamed for everything.
	They get blamed for more stuff than the Nazis now.
	China calls a Trump battleship an easier target amid mixed U.S. reception.
	The whole idea of having a new class of battleships after Donald Trump.
	You know, his ego mania runneth over.
	But these are antiquated in the age of missiles.
	I mean, these new battleships are going to be easily sunk, as China says.
	A bigger target.
	I wasn't even sure they said that.
	Yeah, there's got to be some grifting involved in making these kind of ships.
	Right.
	A lot of money, a lot of probably well-connected people involved in these little projects.
	And also, just the notion that we are to believe now that another nation such as China, who would be a potential adversary in war, would actually say that.
	In other words, I think we're being told that they said that.
	Oh, we could sink that easily.
	I personally don't believe that any Chinese official, military or otherwise, did say that or would say that.
	In other words, we're being propagandized against all the time by the usual effing suspects.
	This doesn't make any sense anyway.
	Calls a vessel a new class of battleship graced by his own name.
	But China just called the U.S. Navy's latest concept a larger and easier target for its growing array of anti-ship drones and missiles, no doubt.
	A day after Trump's December 22nd announcement at Mar-a-Lago that he'd ordered the construction of a Trump class of possibly 20 to 25 battleships.
	China's Global Times, a state media outlet, carried an interview with naval researcher Zhang Junxi, stating that the type of warship envisioned by Trump would be a ripe target for China's anti-ship weapons, including the so-called carrier-killer, the F-21D ballistic missile.
	The large size of the battleship also makes it more vulnerable and potentially an easier target, particularly when it's densely loaded with munitions, according to Zhang, a researcher at the People's Liberation Army, Navy Military Academic Research Institute.
	Right.
	And they just give him a platform.
	And they give the okay.
	Sure, go ahead and say this.
	And yeah, how long is it going to be before these battleships are in the service?
	God, it's going to be five or eight years, no doubt.
	You know, it's going to be all over.
	Trump will be president.
	It'll have been canceled long since.
	Yeah, I'm weighing in on pork.
Trump's Ceasefire Claims 00:03:32
	I think it's a pork project, but before they cancel it, there'll be lots of money shelled out to certain people.
	Yeah, I agree.
	I do agree.
	Meanwhile, and this I think is significant.
	Trump's confabulations are more serious than just a response to a bruised ego from Sonar 21.
	Donald Trump is not the only president of the United States that have been described as a narcissist and confabulator.
	But if Trump were in an Olympic-style competition among Bill Clinton, W., Barack Obama, and Biden, he would be the gold medalist.
	Let's start with Trump confabulations about his claim to have settled eight wars.
	Eight conflicts Trump claimed to have stopped or resolved since returning to office in 2020.
	Part of his self-described role as president are as follows, based on his public statement to social media posts: Israel and Hamas.
	Trump claims credit for brokering a ceasefire in the two-year war, though Israel has continued to murder Palestinians.
	There's not even a ceasefire.
	I mean, the Hamas has complied, but not Israel.
	Israel and Iran.
	He asserts he ended hostility between these nations, likely referring to a brief 2025 flare-up or broader tensions, but no full-scale war was ongoing.
	Pakistan and India, he's boasted about preventing a nuclear escalation between these rivals, claiming millions of lives were saved, though this appears to reference averted border skirmishes rather than an active war.
	Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
	He says he resolved this conflict, but both Rwanda and the DRC have seen their conflict continue despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire signed in June 2025, Thailand and Cambodia.
	Trump claims to have halted border clashes, even jokingly called a supposed flare-up an extra-corruptor war, even though it was more of a diplomatic dispute than a full war.
	A Minia Nazarbajan, he takes credit for ending hostilities, referring to a ceasefire in the Nagorno-Kabbalah region, but tensions or sporadic incidents continue.
	Egypt and Ethiopia.
	Trump asserts he prevented a war over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile, but this was a water-sharing dispute resolved through mediations.
	Serbian coast of all.
	He claims to have stopped a potential war, but no active fighting had occurred since 1999.
	Well, Trump remained desperate to be Christ and the peace president.
	He has ordered bombings in Syria and Nigeria, ordered attacks on boats in the Caribbean, allegedly carrying drugs, ordered the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Maduro, strightly insisting on a forcible takeover of Greenland, not to mention bombing Iran, providing the Israelis with all the weapons and bombs to destroy the Palestinian.

	That the Boston Globe was tweeting that a demonstration bomb would be set off during the marathon for the benefit of bomb squad activities, and that one would be set off in one minute in front of the library, which happened as the globe had announced.
	Peering through the smoke, you could see bodies with missing arms and legs, but there was no blood.
	The blood only showed up later and came out of a tube.

	Well, clearly Trump's pretensions to be the peace president are ridiculous, exaggerated, beyond belief and a fantasy.
	And it's rather like his declaration to that his failure to get the Nobel Peace Prize indicates he's no longer interested in peace and he's going to seize Greenland.
Treasuries and Cutting Rates 00:15:17
	I mean, this is utterly irresponsible.
	This is a tantrum of a childish mentality.
	I think he's become senile in his old age.
	Russ, your thoughts.
	Well, that's pretty much all we've been talking about.
	And I've been continually spending a lot of time on it.
	Probably starting to piss some people off.
	It's kind of like, can you do any concentrate on anything better than Trump?
	But it's a huge story because he is senile.
	He's suffering from dementia and he's causing a lot of harm.
	It's a big, big story.
	I agree.
	Paul?
	Paul, you're muted, Paul.
	Yeah, thanks, Jim.
	I was just listening.
	Yeah, at this point, I kind of feel it's all been said.
	And, you know, more or less, he's become a caricature.
	And I think that's pretty much what they wanted to give us.
	I really do believe now that it was never any big independent movement by, you know, Trump and his team.
	I think that, you know, this Trump has been given to us as a parody, as a caricature of a president.
	Well, I think it's certainly having destructive effects upon American standing in the world.
	We have been so diminished.
	You know, America used to stand tall and be a kind of a not just a big brother, but a moral standard for the world those years.
	Those days are long gone.
	Russ, here we are.
	Round the web.
	You've got the mega tunnel vision.
	Tell us about it.
	Well, we have the Magatard there, and he's, you know, he's zeroed in on deport the illegals.
	And meanwhile, we have a lot of other things that he's not paying attention to.
	Militarized police normalized, ICE expanding budget power, unaccountable enforcement apparatus, domestic extremist labeling, DHS plus big tech fusion centers, permanent emergency powers, internal passport system, technocratic surveillance state, palantar database, biometric tracking, and algorithmic,
	algorithmic pre-crime systems.
	But as long as you deport a few illegals, I guess that's all okay.
	That's a nice point, Russ.
	So much is taking place in the focus.
	It's a form of distraction.
	I even think, you know, all this stuff about Greenland and so forth.
	Is it in part to get us away from Epstein?
	I mean, we were on the verge of getting the files all released.
	And apparently that is such a massive hit on the political leaders and the elite in America that it cannot be allowed to happen under any circumstance.
	Frankly, I don't think they're going to be able to succeed.
	But I think the massiveness of the effort to divert attention away from it, to suppress the Epstein file tells us it is a mega hit.
	What do you mean you don't think they're going to succeed?
	Political, I think eventually the truth will out, Paul.
	That's my opinion, including.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, it would be speculative truth because they're never going to allow the bulk of that, never.
	I mean, that's my, you know, another reason.
	It'll be another JFK in 75 years, but they won't even do it then.
	So, yeah, that's my opinion.
	Right.
	I think enough is coming out.
	Yeah.
	Well, plenty is already out, but they already know nothing's going to come of it.
	Look, if you are them, right, the assessment on us, in other words, the people is complete, in my opinion.
	They know we're not going to do anything, right?
	That's just, that would be my take.
	I mean, look at COVID.
	Look at what they did there.
	Right?
	Shutting down businesses, shutting down churches for God's sake.
	All right.
	I mean, it's like, I mean, we're going to have a future determined by Palantir, basically.
	You know, when I was going through those, when I did my show and I was going through the photos from the Epstein mansion in Manhattan, there was one picture in particular.
	It showed a really what appeared to me to be a surveillance room.
	I don't think anybody can argue that it wasn't.
	It had six screens up on the wall with tapes and discs.
	And I mean, it was like a whole operation in that room, essentially videotaping these politicians and leading public figures.
	And then they had these bedrooms and little rooms upstairs with pink on the walls for girls, you know, a lot of teddy bear type stuff where all his groom, you know, groomed girls.
	So it's pretty obvious that there was a major compromise operation going on.
	And that's what needs to come out.
	That's what really needs to be focused on.
	Somebody needs to get those tapes.
	A lot of those tapes were taken.
	And I think it was taken by the New York police and maybe the FBI and they've deep sixed them.
	That's the big story.
	It's just one thing after another, though, Russ.
	In other words, there's just pick your, it's like your meme of the day there with the MAGA tunnel vision on deport the illegals and all the other things.
	This is exactly what they're doing all the time on every single scandal and topic.
	In other words, the marketplace for these outrage is endless.
	I mean, I just read an article the other day.
	It was a great little article and video about the money that's being disappeared in Seattle and Washington.
	It doesn't really rival California's in terms of the homeless, right?
	But I mean, people have raised this basic issue that, well, we're spending so many billions on homelessness and we're getting more homeless.
	And where's all this money going?
	Right?
	Nobody, it's like those, just like those daycare centers in Minneapolis, you know, with there's no children there.
	There's not really a daycare center and all this money is being spent.
	Well, the same thing is for the so-called homeless issue.
	I mean, just billions and billions of dollars are disappearing.
	And it's just on and on and on.
	One scandal, so-called scandal after another.
	And it's just, it's everything is just, in my opinion, so out in the open and transparent.
	And yet, what are we going to do?
	I mean, I know what I want to do, but you know, if I think, I think the first next two stories are going to reveal a lot, what could happen.
	So, Jim, you there?
	Yeah, I am.
	Where do you want me to go?
	U.S. offer the story.
	Yeah, U.S. offers $700 billion for Greenland.
	So that's on the table.
	And plus a bunch of money for the inhabitants, another, I don't know, $75, $75, $70 billion, something like that.
	So by the time they actually occupy Greenland, set up the infrastructure they want to do more grifting there, you're probably talking about a trillion dollars, which is just going to have, I mean, that's actually in a lot of ways green, a windfall for Denmark.
	I think if I was Denmark, I'd accept that offer.
	Let them have it.
	Yeah, why not?
	They get that kind of a windfall.
	Oh, my God.
	It's just like, wow, bring it on.
	In a bombshell revelation, Top.
	Why don't somebody disclose the U.S. is finalizing a staggering $700 billion cash offer to buy Greenland outright from Denmark, plus $100,000 payment each of its about 57,000 residents totaling nearly 706 billion.
	Russ suggests it could altogether add up to close to a trillion.
	Paul, your thoughts?
	Well, you know, I just have no idea what to make of the veracity of this.
	And it literally is insane.
	But of course, the people that are running the show are totally insane as far as I can tell.
	They're trying to buy Greenland, no question about it.
	They're for what?
	You know, again, whatever it is they're saying is we just can't believe them.
	We can't take them at their word.
	That's my opinion.
	There's something going on.
	I don't know what I don't know what it is, but it's certainly not what they say.
	How are they going to finance?
	If they do buy Greenland, how are they going to finance it?
	How do they finance anything?
	Think about that.
	That's a good question.
	I guess they just print up more money.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you know, do you really believe that they're operating just on the tax base alone?
	I'd like to see the hard numbers on that.
	In other words, is there really a good place to go to know the figures exactly?
	What is it we collect in taxes versus what it is we're spending?
	I think that they would just lie.
	What kind of funds and what kind of proxies and suckers do they have set aside to buy these treasuries?
	That's really a big question.
	And that's kind of a big mystery.
	And that brings us to the next story because a very large Danish pension fund, they have about $100 million.
	They said they're going to sell all their treasuries by the end of the month.
	That's the next story.
	That's interesting.
	Retaliation.
	Yeah, click through the story because I've actually developed some more data points on this very issue of funding the United States and funding purchases like a trillion dollars for Greenland.
	Well, the fund owns about 100 million U.S. treasuries as of 2025.
	Yeah, that's dropping a bucket.
	Minuscule.
	I agree.
	Yeah, it's symbolic.
	That's true.
	It is symbolic.
	But let's keep scrolling down the page because a lot of these European countries are pissed at the United States.
	The polls are saying, I got another story.
	It says that only 16% of Europeans now consider the United States an ally.
	So there's very little public or political support for the United States anymore.
	Only 16%.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	16% consider the U.S. an ally.
	That's how much damage has been done in Europe.
	So, okay, we've got this sort of symbolic gesture from this Danish pension fund.
	But look at the countries that own the U.S. debt.
	In Europe, 40% of foreign U.S. treasuries are held by European countries.
	UK, France, Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany.
	Yeah, Luxembourg, I think, are sort of like slush fund type stuff.
	Let's take a look at the third chart.
	Yeah.
	China's holding.
	Yeah.
	China could dump the U.S. economy overnight.
	Well, look how much they've sold already of treasuries.
	They've whittled it down.
	They really lard it up until what year was that?
	10 years ago.
	Who's buying them?
	That's what I'd like to know.
	2010.
	And yeah, who is buying them?
	Because they're not a buyer.
	In fact, they've been just letting them mature and say, send us a check and we'll put it into gold.
	That's what they've been doing.
	And not only who's been buying the Chinese or filling the void, but the $2 trillion deficits that have been run ever since COVID.
	Who's been buying that?
	It is a big mystery.
	I mean, it really is.
	I don't really have the answer for it.
	There's some kind of smoke and mirrors going on.
	Yeah, it's total hocus pocus.
	Okay, the fourth chart.
	Okay, part of who was buying it for a while was the Federal Reserve.
	They kind of gotten out of it.
	Exactly buying their own treasuries.
	Well, they've gotten out of it.
	Now they're getting back into it.
	And then they started lowering interest rates because when you lower the interest rate, you know, on the short end, then you set up an arbitrage where people can borrow money short and lend it long.
	Well, the banks have already gotten trouble on buying longer bonds.
	You know, when they were down at 1 and 2%, there's a lot of banks that are in deep doo-doo because of that already.
	So the financial system doesn't have the wherewithal to leverage this thing up again.
	And in fact, if you look at that 30-year treasury yield, look how much it's gone up ever since the Fed started cutting rates.
	I'm sure that you've probably seen many of the same videos I have, Russ, about what's coming and that how all the markers are in place.
	You know, the same markers that were, you know, existing in 1929 and 2007 and 8, and they're all here now.
	Well, this one I've been tracking for a few years in recent memory, and it has been kind of amazing, but this is really kind of seems like it's coming to a head.
	And then to throw in a trillion-dollar purchase of Greenland just out of the blue into this mix.
	So we've already got 175 basis point increase in the 30-year treasury since the Fed started cutting rates.
	So the effect of the longer in the market, like even the 10-year.
	So then the final meme is can't watch.
	I'm busy watching the final episode of the United States.
	How is this related to wanting to replace Powell as head of the Fed?
	Well, they want to continue the real loose regime.
	They want to have somebody printing the money and cutting the rates, continuing this loose regime.
	But I don't think it works.
	When you talk about the Fed buying the Fed, I mean, that just seems so self-defeating.
	How can it happen?
	How can it happen?
	The Fed buys the treasuries.
	They have a portfolio, and so they lard up on treasuries that the market can't really absorb.
	But my God, they've just got so much to deal with.
	And they've been able in the last year and a half to kind of do it by having these longer rates go up, so that maybe somebody in like Japan might buy a 10-year bond, but they're not doing it anymore either because their 10 years have come up to almost the same level as the U.S. two years.
Absurdity Of Currency Issuance 00:09:16
	So the Japanese have no more incentives to do this Mrs. Wannabe.
	It's called Mrs. Wannabe or whatever, the what, what, toby trade?
	Well, just the absurdity of the issue, the issuer of the currency that supposedly the money supply, M1, M2, is based upon the issuance of treasury bonds, which of course are supposed to be secured by not just the U.S. taxpayer, but by U.S. economic activity.
	And so therefore, now this issuer of the currency, right, is buying the bonds that are supposed to be used as security for the issuance of the currency.
	I mean, it's kind of like you want to just sit down and take a like a 10-year-old, put dominoes on the desk.
	It's okay, this is the Fed.
	This is the U.S. government.
	These are the taxpayers.
	It's like none of it.
	Again, it's a completely and totally corrupt Jewish money system that we all exist under.
	And the average person just can't fathom it and even the basics of it, unfortunately.
	And so the last meme, I mean, I believe, I believe it's kind of coming to this.
	I can't today.
	I'm busy watching the final episode of the United States.
	And you have to admit, we're at their mercy about what it is they want to do.
	I really do believe they have the power, like I said, just to create these huge amounts of money to go ahead and just spend it or to buy things, creating the illusion of economic activity or creating the illusion of productivity.
	They try to overwhelm the market.
	That's how they would try to do it.
	And to maybe stave off any kind of a crash because, you know, we've all heard of the plunge protection team and they're going to keep the stock market artificially viable because that's where all the big boys play.
	So we can't have that crash.
	So we're left wondering.
	Okay.
	In other words, is a crash or bubble bursting really in the cards or have they just made the decision they're not going to let that happen, but just keep it?
	Fundamentally, it is in the cards.
	No, I don't think anybody doubts that.
	But I'm of the opinion.
	No, I think they can just choose to let it happen or make it happen.
	Well, I have to tell you, the markets, I mean, the market yesterday got slammed on all this European fallout.
	But then you sort of get this taco game that Trump plays.
	And I think it's almost deliberate where he says, well, I'm going to put out a tweet and we're going to try to stabilize the market, sort of stabilization operations.
	But they can't even let the market drop for a day or two.
	What's that even mean, by the way, to stabilize?
	We need to define all these things.
	Well, you wake up in the next day and the market's rallying again.
	What's that all about?
	Constantly.
	The market was in big trouble.
	Once again, kind of getting hammered yesterday.
	People were getting a little bit panicky.
	Then overnight, here we are.
	We're right back into a big rally.
	They're very aggressive rallies.
	So that's just manipulation, manipulation there.
	But if they try to spend a trillion dollar, write a trillion-dollar checkout to Denmark.
	I think that's really a big economic event because they got to finance it.
	But anyway.
	It was only $700 billion, Russ.
	Well, plus they added checks to the Greenland.
	Can you imagine just being a resident of Greenland just sitting there and all of a sudden they dump $100,000 in your lap?
	You know, you get $100,000 check.
	Where are you going to go to spend it?
	They're going to have to all take vacations.
	Yeah, or move back to Denmark.
	They're going to go to the south of France.
	Yeah, or Denmark.
	Go to Denmark where the ancestors came from.
	You got big brain Trump writing an insane letter to the PM of Norway.
	I think this is right.
	It's a lunatic letter.
	This is insane.
	Trump just wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of Norway essentially saying, you didn't give me the Nobel Beast Prize, so I'm choosing to invade Greenland because of it.
	This is insane and about to get a lot worse.
	Here's the letter.
	Dear Ambassador, President Trump has asked that the following message shared with the Prime Minister Jonas Garstor be forwarded to your state.
	Dear Jonas, now is this parody?
	Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Bees Prize for having stopped eight wars plus, and we know that's a phony claim.
	When you ask it as parody, people are asking Grok, you know, to confirm the authenticity of this letter and Grok's saying, yeah, it's true.
	So what can I say?
	Yeah, there you go.
	That's the usefulness of the story.
	I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace, although it will always be predominant, but you now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.
	Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China.
	But Denmark's a member of NATO.
	If Russia or China tried to take over Greenland, NATO would come to its defense.
	So Sabine is further ludicrous.
	So why do they have a right of ownership anyway?
	There are no written documents.
	It's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago.
	Actually, thousands.
	Yeah, more accurately, like in the 1200s.
	Okay.
	So just get that straight.
	It's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago and we had boats landing there also.
	I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding and now NATO should do something for the United States.
	Well, let's look at that section.
	Okay, so he's claiming that the boats from Denmark or the Vikings landed, you know, they landed in actuality landed in the 1200s.
	And then we've had boats landing there, you know, what, about the same time, which is totally bullshit, maybe 600 years later.
	Come on.
	It's just his historical reality is just really warped.
	I mean, where did he get educated?
	The Trump, the Trump School of Education.
	Didn't he go to the Wharton School of Business?
	Something like that?
	He probably went to Trump University.
	NATO should do something for the United States.
	The world is not secure unless we have complete and total control of Greenland.
	President DJT.
	This is just an absurdity.
	I know it's an authentic letter.
	I'm just, I'm just so.
	You know, it's not an authentic letter.
	No, no, I know it is an authentic letter.
	Rock says it's drugs.
	Come on.
	Come on.
	Rock says it's authentic.
	Oh, that's how bad it's become.
	I guarantee it's not authentic.
	Apparently, it's been verified by the Danish government that they received this letter.
	They verified it.
	Okay.
	All righty.
	I mean, just picture me shrugging my shoulders constantly.
	Just got to put this stuff out there, Paul.
	You know, we have to kind of.
	I know.
	With my hands, my palms turned upwards.
	Like, you know, but Paul, the reality has become a parody.
	I mean, that's.
	I know.
	Well, I mean, what did I say for years on this show and others?
	I said that the best way to understand what's going on in the world in terms of a science fiction movie, you know, with comedic overtones.
	This UK Army thing, this kind of ties in a little bit of, yeah, that one.
	Go ahead.
	No, we'll go ahead, UK Army.
	All right, let's take a look at this.
	So this is, I guess this is going to be one of Denmark's big friends and allies in defending Greenland.
	Take a look at this.
	UK veterans age 65 told to prepare for war as minister of defense at the age for calling up the strategic reserve 55 to 65 with the UK Army shrinking to its smallest size at more than 200 years, according to the Daily Telegraph.
	70,000 troops, nothing.
	Just unbelievable.
	60.
	Who did that?
	Who did that to this country?
	So am I going to be called up at 85?
	That's ridiculous.
	The folk storm, like in defensive of Germany.
	They're going to offer you all those years of back pay, too.
	Remember the folk storm in Germany in 1945?
	All those years of back pay.
	I love it.
	Going as a captain.
	Pointing up before.
Truth Never Sleeps 00:03:47
	Oh, they better give me a promotion.
	Only 16% of EU citizens consider you as an ally.

	That's an incredible number.

	Even the government admits that 9-11 was a conspiracy.
	But did you know that it was an inside job?
	That Osama had nothing to do with it.
	That the twin towers were blown apart by a sophisticated arrangement of mini or micro nukes.
	That Building 7 collapsed seven hours later because of explosives planted in the building.
	Barry Jennings was there.
Unsurprising Diminishment 00:07:21
	He heard them go off and felt himself stepping over dead people.
	The U.S. Geological Survey conducted studies of dust gathered from 35 locations in Lower Manhattan and found elements that would not have been there had this not been a nuclear event.
	Ironically, that means the government's own evidence contradicts the government's official position.
	9-11 was brought to us compliments of the CIA, the neocons of the Department of Defense, and the Mossad.

	You know, Russ, of all stories we're covering, this is among the most consequential.
	This stunning diminution of America in the eyes of the world.
	I mean, this is really staggering.
	I've been working hard at it.
	You know, and all the stuff in Gaza and Israel, that doesn't help either.
	It's an incredible number.
	Only 16% of EU citizens now consider the U.S. an ally.
	Even in the U.K., it's down to a meager 25%.
	In fact, perceptions of the U.S. as an ally are in complete collapse globally.
	India being the very odd exception.
	So India still holds 49%.
	South Korea, 40%.
	Brazil, 26%.
	UK, 25.
	South Africa, 19.
	Ukraine, 18.
	EU, 16.
	Turkey, 11%.
	China, 10%.
	Switzerland, 8.
	Russia, 2%.
	Yeah, Switzerland, 8.
	Switzerland, 8.
	Switzerland, 8.
	I know.
	Switzerland.
	Crying out loud.
	It's almost as bad as Russia.
	This is really stunning stuff.
	More to add on that one, Russ.
	Paul?
	I mean, it's just pretty much what it is.
	It's just.
	Yeah, I know, but I mean, it's a collapse of America in the eyes of the world.
	Paul, your thoughts?
	Unsurprising would be the single word I would use.
	Unsurprising.
	Okay.
	Here we have Trump to make a new world.
	Do you think most Americans realize that it's this bad, though?
	I don't.
	No.
	No.
	Trump to make New World Order speech and Devos.
	He's there now, I think.
	Don't be fooled by his upcoming speech.
	Donald Trump's New World Order is exactly the same monolithic and ruthless New World Order JFK warned us about.
	I'm troubled by this.
	Really?
	This is not good.
	You want to elaborate?
	I know Paul's going to say nothing new here.
	Nothing to see, nothing surprising.
	Ross.
	Well, I mean, I think we got the hints from Stephen Miller early what the New World Order is going to look like.
	And it says, if you can't defend yourself, then we've got to do it for you.
	That's the declaration.
	Yeah, isn't that the greatest ever?
	And, you know, it doesn't look like the UK is in any position to be a new world order participant.
	What's that?
	70,000 troops?
	They have no military.
	I mean, you think about that.
	The U.S. government is pretty much with all these operations doing it to their own citizens.
	In other words, you know, you can't defend yourself, so you're going to need a palantir to come in and, you know, lock down the entire society.
	And, you know, guns are terrible.
	You can't, you can't have those either.
	It's interesting that Germany is kind of Germany, I guess, and Poland are, and Poland's already kind of started to militarize, but because of Russia.
	But Germany is really panicking.
	And, you know, they're going full Third Reich in terms of their military.
	Awesome.
	Oh, that's music to my ears, Russ.
	I didn't know.
	I'm telling you, ever since I was a little kid, I loved those uniforms.
	I don't know why.
	The problem is the Third Reich couldn't mobilize enough.
	I know, I know, but I mean, I was, I used to love the salute as well, too.
	And the way, of course, it was all Hollywood, but the way they clicked their heels together and shot that hand up like that.
	I just, as a little kid, it just appealed to me.
	Yeah, a lot of swag.
	I was kind of the same.
	Yeah, Hugo Boss did well by that.
	You know, here's a truly disgusting story.
	Venezuela opposition leader Maria Karina Chad will present Donald Trump with her Nobel Prize metal.
	She also presented him with her Miss Teen Venezuela.
	I didn't know that.
	I think the sash is satire.
	We got any pictures of her as Miss Teen Venezuela?
	But look at the picture of them.
	Look at it.
	This is totally real.
	Nice as the written, as was the original dress she wore when she wanted a picture.
	Now continue on down the page with another good meme.
	Yeah.
	Oh, darn, where'd it go?
	It shows.
	All right.
	Well, it shows the Trump in front of the White House collecting trophies from little kids.
	Putting him in big boxes and carrying him off to wherever he stores his shelves of trophies.
	I think it shows Trump with tattoos.
	I think he's got tattoos on his arm in this.
	Yeah, he does.
	He's got tattoos all over his arms.
	Well, the thing is, this whole thing of giving her the prize to begin with is farcical.
	It was.
	It was.
	And then she gives it to him.
	So the whole thing is just like a total insult to anybody's intelligence.
	Where do we go wrong?
	I gotta say, Russ, your blog is just fantastic.
	I really love it.
	Meanwhile, let's see what else we got here.
	Donald Trump versus Venezuela oil sale deal goes to a mega donors company.
	Surprise, surprise.
	Classic Trump gift.
	Donor ponies up six mil gets handed $250 million oil deal.
	Pay to play his Naboga's the entire feature utterly corrupt as always.
Litigation Opportunities for Jewish Lawyers 00:05:55
	Russ says it's just so blatant in your face.
	It's so insulting.
	I know.
	It really is bad.
	It's just a damn shame.
	Paul, any comment?
	What can be said?
	I'm exhausted sometimes.
	I don't know how you guys do this.
	Jim, I don't know how you do this all the time.
	I'd be so depressed.
	Oh, here's a good one.
	You'll like this one, Paul.
	This one.
	Litigation opportunities for Jewish lawyers.
	Nice title.
	ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt says every anti-Semitism complaint filed with the ADL is now immediately scanned by their AI systems to see if there's a litigation opportunity they can forward to their network of some 50,000 lawyers.
	Let's check this out.
	So last year, in partnership with Gibson Dunn, we created something called the Legal Action Network.
	We've assembled 50 of the top law firms in the United States to create a pro bono quartery of literally like 50,000 lawyers.
	And so now when you enter in an incident at ADL, it instantly gets evaluated by our AI systems.
	Is there a litigation opportunity?
	And we feed it to the lawyers to evaluate and to find someone to take the case.
	I like that.
	And we built issues in our tech.
	Again, we have like software engineers at ADL, but we're opening it up.
	We've opened it up to Brandeis Center, Stand With Us, and to other great groups.
	So, what gives me hope that we can break this paradigm?
	Number one, innovating and finding new ways to get ahead of the curve.
	Number two, what curve are you talking about there, Jonathan?
	And partnerships with other Jewish groups.
	And then, thirdly, again, applying our brains.
	So, it used to be that, again, if you had a problem, you picked up the phone and called ADL and took a lot of time.
	We don't have enough to be afraid of Jewish brains.
	Jewish lawyers now using generative AI responding instantly.
	And if you're not sure, I think you can stop the gym if you want.
	We got the idea.
	Actually, he used that figure that has long been told when I first heard it back in the 70s, a lawyer joke about what do you call 50,000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea?
	Pretty good start.
	There you go.
	I sent you a video.
	You just want to, if you get a chance, just put it up on screen.
	We can't watch it.
	It's what, 16 minutes, but it's excellent.
	So I sent it to both you and Russ in email.
	Just, and we can, you could put it up for the listeners if they want to take note of it.
	But it's the biological decline of the West.
	I'm surprised he doesn't have six million Jewish lawyers.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Just again, just like the terminology is just fantastic, though.
	Get ahead of the curve.
	What curve are you talking about?
	You know, we're all working with Brandeis University.
	Oh, so you've got some more Jewish hacks that you're working with, you know, across the board.
	It's like I want to just collectively just grab these people by the collar.
	Just imagine me clenching my fists around the lapels of like the average Jewish person going, you can't pass laws to make us stop hating.
	Let me ask you a question.
	Does this make you more or less anti-Semitic?
	It has no effect.
	I mean, once you understand.
	You're already bottomed down on that scale.
	Well, you know, we like to have fun.
	And, you know, there's nothing wrong with trying to enjoy what we have here going on in life.
	But I look out at the skies every day and I see what they're doing to our natural world with this geoengineering.
	I know what they're doing to the children with the vaccines.
	I've known people with vaccine-injured children.
	I'm on an email list locally, and I was just invited to some premiere screening of some local group made a thing about, you know, California shutting down all the schools and COVID and all the damage it did to the children.
	But they're just focusing on the psychological and sociological damage to the children now.
	They're vowed to never let it happen again.
	And it's like a little film screen.
	And I've got a mind to go there and say, hey, you know, it's not about that.
	It's about the vaccines.
	Is everybody here aware that the vaccines are mass poisoning?
	Everybody aware that the Jews are behind the vaccines.
	You know, I want to see how that goes over if I say it's something like that.
	I used to do shit like that.
	I don't really do it anymore.
	But I used to go to these 9-11 film festivals back in the day in the early to mid-2000s.
	And there was a whole bunch used to be sponsored here in the Bay Area by the Unitarian Church.
	And I remember the night that I said, the Jews.
	Most people, not all, most people crank their heads around to look, who's saying this?
	What?
	But there were a couple people who came out after the meeting, come up to me later, and they kind of whispered hushed tones.
	By the way, the story of BlackRock bigwig high on Trump's Fed chair list.
	That's a big story because that's going to be really aggressive monetization and market manipulation.
	We made a joke about that last week, right?
	It's that both BlackRock and Goldman Sachs should share power on this, you know.
	Yeah, Rick Ryder, he's going to be the new Fed guy.
	I apply it.
	I have the ideology because I believe that it is the best way of coming at policy.
	Okay, we hit this last week.
	All right, I'm done with mine.
	I think there might be one other story.
Biological Decline Of The West 00:09:01
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's it.
	Violating the laws of war by painting a plane civilian and then using it to attack.
	That's week.
	That kind of went over with lead balloon on your end.
	Well, if you want it, Jim, I'm sure you'll find it interesting.
	And you too, Russ.
	We could play a few minutes of that video I sent about the biological decline of the West.
	Decline of the West.
	Yeah, it's just a fresh email I just sent you.
	Is that that subject line?
	Biological decline of the West?
	I believe so.
	Yeah, it's a YouTube video.
	So yeah, the title is Why Weak People Create Hard Times: The Biological Decline of the West.
	Oh, here it is, right?
	Yeah.
	So Sophia posted that a couple weeks ago on her site.
	The modern West is in decline, economic stagnation, rising tax burdens, moral disorientation, political corruption, bloated bureaucracies, and soaring levels of poverty, drug addiction, and homelessness all point to a faltering civilization.
	While many agree that the West is declining, explanations as to why vary.
	Some blame the collapse of religion and the loss of a shared moral order.
	Others the rise of consumerism and hedonism, or the dumbing down effects of modern technology.
	Still others point to mass immigration, the rise of socialist ideologies, or the corrosive influence of the mainstream media.
	Yet these explanations may be masking a deeper, more fundamental cause, the biological deterioration of Western men and women.
	Or as the medical doctor Peter Nieman writes, Many books have been written about the decline of the West, some brilliant.
	Unfortunately, however, they do not focus on the biological dimension and so miss the point.
	The decline, even collapse of the United States and the Western countries as a whole is directly causally connected to changes in biology.
	In this video, we draw from Nieman's book From Apex to Abyss: The Biological Roots of the West's decline and what can be done to reverse it to explore how widespread biological changes are driving the West's fall from grace.
	For all our technological and cultural sophistication, we are biological animals, and the body is the foundation of the human world.
	Every thought we form, every value we hold, every invention we produce is influenced by our biology.
	Politics may flow downstream from culture, but both culture and politics flow downstream from biology.
	If the biological condition of a people deteriorates, if they become physically weaker, more obese, less intelligent, or if their hormonal balance is disrupted, the state of culture and politics deteriorates as well, or as Nieman puts it.
	It should be obvious how changing just a few things in a person's body can make people think, act, and live completely differently.
	What would happen to societies if they were to experience these effects among most or even all of their citizens?
	What if they all experienced a drop in their IQ or gained weight?
	Would not their societies act differently?
	If the people making up society are not the same as before, how could the societies themselves be immune to those effects?
	Well, this is just what happened in recent decades.
	People have changed because their bodies have changed.
	The biological reality of today's society and citizens is vastly different from what it was a few decades ago.
	A decline in intelligence is one sign pointing to a biological decline among Westerners.
	For most of the 20th century, average IQ scores in developed nations rose steadily, a trend first identified by the researcher John Flynn in the 1980s.
	Subsequent studies confirmed this finding and showed that between 1909 and 2013, IQ scores in Western countries increased by roughly two standard deviations, or about 0.28 points per year.
	This phenomenon is known as the Flynn effect.
	Many experts believe that this rising intelligence contributed significantly to the wave of innovation in the 20th century, which saw breakthroughs in science, technology, and industry, explains Nieman.
	But starting in the early 21st century, the rise in IQ slowed, plateaued, and then IQ levels began to drop.
	Western individuals started to become less intelligent year over year.
	This dumbing down of Westerners was first noted by scientists in Denmark, but in recent years, researchers in nearly all Western countries have confirmed this trend.
	Something happened to the West, Nieman explains.
	The new generation stopped being smarter than their parents' generation and even started becoming dumber.
	As scientists studied and compared various countries, it became evident that prosperous Western countries had, for the most part, experienced a decline in the average IQ starting around the turn of the century, while most non-Western countries, including those in Asia, Africa, and also South America, had experienced the opposite, a continued rise in IQ rates.
	The magnitude of the IQ reduction in the West is in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 IQ points per year, seemingly offsetting the rise in IQ levels of Western populations in prior decades.
	Nieman lists several factors that can account for this widespread IQ reduction.
	The first is the increase in marijuana usage.
	In 1970, only 4% of American adults reported using marijuana in the last year.
	Today, around 22% of adults report past year use, with daily or near-daily use 5 to 10 times higher than in the early 1970s.
	Among the youth, daily marijuana use is now higher than daily alcohol use for the first time in history.
	Let me just say a few things here.
	I think there has been a dumbing down.
	It has to do not with smoking grass.
	I think that's completely absurd.
	But it has to do with increased reliance upon television, cell phones, fluoridation of the water, where it turns out to be a neurotoxin.
	Now, of course, a jam and diet.
	What people eat is really good.
	We can all see this with our own eyes.
	Russ, I know you're not here in the U.S., but if you're just to walk around any major metropolitan area, just what people look like is appalling.
	I have living memory.
	I'm sure you do too, Russ, right?
	I have living memory of what people used to look like in the places I lived.
	Right?
	As a junior high in Seattle.
	It's very profound.
	Very profound.
	Yeah, California.
	And I look around here.
	And by the way, Jim, I don't know what real scientific evidence that marijuana makes you dumber.
	Again, I think in many cases, the old strains opened the gates of perception, in many ways, cognition.
	I know it has done that for me over the long haul, but I've never been a heavy user.
	But I'm telling you right now, these kids today, these pot smoking kids today that you encounter, they are stupid.
	I mean, they are really stupid and they smoke a lot, far more than any pothead that I ever knew back in the 70s and the 80s.
	There's been a recent phenomenon with particularly the Gen Z. They're not drinking anymore.
	They don't like alcohol.
	So they've kind of switched maybe to drugs, marijuana from alcohol.
	I don't know if there's an oxidizer.
	It's a small sample size, but I mean, just I'll give you an example: is a friend of mine has a house and he rents out rooms, right?
	And these are young people mostly, like in their 20s and 30s, young working people.
	And both of his, you know, housemates, as well as all their friends, it's like a constant activity.
	It's like they smoke pot the way people chew gum.
	It's like one piece after one joint after another.
	Yeah, it's quite something.
	And you can walk around and pot nowadays is strong.
	Oh, yeah.
	And in California, too.
	I'm right now I'm in Nevada, but generally anywhere you go now, you could smell the odor of marijuana out in public.
	And it's just, you know, I'm no prude, but it's not a good thing.
	It's really not.
	Well, there's multiple politic influences that are all bringing America down.
	Our educational standards have fallen.
	We don't enforce, we have social promotion.
	There are no expectations for learning, even at institutions that are rated like Yale.
	Yale turns out, and I have friends at Yale, so I'm reporting based upon recent experience, even current.
	It's like a glorified remedial institution.
Cursive: A Lost Art 00:04:27
	It's a glorified high school.
	It doesn't have high expectations or standards.
	And they have many students there who are from other countries and they don't enforce standards at all.
	They put them on pass/fail.
	You know, it's got a minimal requirement.
	Paul, it is embarrassing.
	It's horrifying.
	And I was not even aware of the term social promotion until probably the 90s.
	I didn't even know what it was.
	I mean, look, I'm not a brilliant scholar, and I wasn't, I was never the best student in any of my classes, but I mean, I was in the advanced classes, and I started noticing shortly after high school and college how appalling it was that people couldn't spell or write, you know, or speak very well.
	And I mean, believe me, I'm no aristocrat, but it's like it was just like I said, in your face.
	You go out in the world in the workplace and you realize people can't spell, they can't write, they can't compose.
	It's like, what's going on?
	Two examples.
	Cursive, you know, just writing in script.
	This has become virtually a lost art.
	And students aren't even learning to type.
	They're just doing, you know, single-finger punches because on their cell phone, they can text that way.
	I mean, this is appalling, appalling.
	And you know, typing, you got to practice.
	You know, the thing is, is I like my mom made me taught me how to type.
	She just insisted that I learned how to type.
	And I could type pretty well, pretty fast, but I've totally lost that skill.
	Yeah.
	Because what I do is I just hunt and peck like everybody else does.
	You know, well, plus, now all the words are suggested for you when you text or a lot of email programs, you just start to type out a word and it knows what you want to say.
	That's a small advantage, but at the same time, it's a big, you know, it's a cognitive disadvantage to have that all done for you.
	I was looking at some of my cursive when I was, you know, seven years old.
	Beautiful writing.
	Really?
	Nice.
	Now it's shit.
	One of the great benefits of my father between junior high and high school, he had me to go to summer school.
	I went in past it.
	He didn't take typing.
	He knew how important it was for me to learn to type.
	He was 100% on it.
	And of course, I've wound up doing a dissertation, like 500 pages on a typewriter, one page after another.
	I mean, all my computer work, I do all kinds of authorship and editing.
	Computers have changed my style.
	I used to have to.
	Yeah, it's all part of you.
	It's use it or lose it.
	That's a big part of it, too.
	Yeah, no, that reinforcing mechanism between your brain and your fingers and your eyes, it's really important to maintain all those neural connections.
	And yeah, speaking of cursive, my dad, he had great hand.
	I used to try to mimic it when I was a kid.
	I wanted to write like my dad because it was just so the right slant and all the letters looked really good.
	It's like nowadays nobody writes well at all, Hardy.
	Seems to me.
	Well, it's a lost Arp becoming a lost ARP.
	It's crazy.
	It's dangerous, actually.
	It's actually dangerous.
	Doctors, you know, doctors' handwriting.
	But the dumbing down of America is not a myth or a speculation.
	It's a grim reality.
	I remember you guys, I'm sure you both have seen the movie Idiocracy, which I have off and on recommended to people for many years now just to see.
	I remember when I was first discussing it with my brother, I don't know, a couple of decades ago.
	And he said, yeah, he introduced me to the term dysgenics.
	I'd never really heard the term until he used it.
	And I said, dysgenics, huh?
	And he goes, yeah, it means we're getting dumber and fast.
	And this is something that he was telling me since probably the late 90s or early 2000s.
	And of course, now I realize fully exactly what he meant in general.
	The other element in all this is your peers.
	So if you're unlucky to hang around with a bunch of bums, it's going to have an effect on you growing up.
	If you have good friends, they're solid people.
	Yeah.
Wise Company Matters 00:01:42
	Huge difference.
	In fact, in a lot of ways, I kind of dragged my friends down, you know, because they were kind of… I don't know about that.
	But no, they were dragging.
	They would drag me back up to the proper standards.
	So I was very lucky that way.
	But then, if you fall into the wrong crowd, it's a societal issue.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, the intellectual and emotional status of those you hang out with has a great influence.
	And of course, back then it was not as big of an issue because that's heavily dependent upon racial biology and class.
	So in other words, I grew up in middle-class white America.
	But there's people right now, they're growing up in, oh, my God, I can't, the type of neighborhoods that kids are growing up in now, it's just really sad when you think about, you know, there's this, the, the, this pot smoking, in many cases, it's California, especially heavily Hispanic type culture of just, you know, just slackers.
	And not having two parents, that's a big.
	And the kids now are fat and they're not spending enough time outdoors.
	I mean, they've shown over and over, studies have shown that physical activity reinforces brain connections.
	So when you're out there in the world as a little kid riding your bicycle, peddling, you know, climbing trees, doing all the stuff that little kids do, you're reinforcing brain connections.
	The thing is, this conversation falls in the woke category.
	So, you know, the woke people will condemn us for even talking about this.
	You guys did great today.
	Excellent, excellent show.
	Meanwhile, everyone spend as much time with your family, your blends up, people you love and care about.
	We do not know how much time we have left.
	Use it wisely.
	Support Revolution Radio.
	And God willing, we'll be back on Friday and we'll do it all over again.
