=== Hitting Air Power in Tel Aviv (15:15) ===

[00:00:04]  Not just anybody, you know, I need someone.
[00:00:10]  When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way.
[00:00:20]  But now these days are gone, and I'm not so selfish.
[00:00:25]  Now I find a gentle mind, I'm open up the door.
[00:00:30]  Help me if you can, I feel.
[00:00:49]  This is Jim Fetzer, your host on The Raw Deal, right here on Revolution Radio Studio B, this sixth day of April 2026.
[00:01:01]  Much to report.
[00:01:03]  Iran has warned of a surprise tonight.
[00:01:06]  Now, I haven't seen the effects here, but Hal Turner has shown a monster, a monster missile.
[00:01:16]  The government of Iran had put out an official video showing a very large missile on a transporter.
[00:01:22]  Wrecked or launched your truck.
[00:01:25]  It'll be a massive surprise coming tonight, the world will remember for centuries.
[00:01:31]  I haven't seen the effects yet.
[00:01:35]  That's not to say Iran isn't accomplishing a lot of tasks.
[00:01:39]  You have Larry Johnson talking about how Iran is destroying Tel Aviv.
[00:01:45]  I have.
[00:01:52]  Welcome to the Savvy Status Podcast.
[00:01:54]  I'm your host, Sabrina Salvati.
[00:01:56]  My special guest is Larry C. Johnson.
[00:01:58]  He's a political commentator and a former CIA analyst.
[00:02:02]  Welcome back, Larry.
[00:02:04]  It's been a minute.
[00:02:04]  Yes, yes, ma'am.
[00:02:06]  I always enjoy chatting with you.
[00:02:10]  Well, we have a lot to talk about now.
[00:02:15]  As you know, this Iran war has a lot of people, a lot of us have been panicked and freaked out.
[00:02:23]  Obviously, the gas prices are taking a reflect of this.
[00:02:27]  But something I was very surprised by I know that Iran is winning this war, not the United States and Israel.
[00:02:35]  But now, for the first time, I just saw Fox News admit that Israel was getting pummeled.
[00:02:44]  So shout out to Afirkin here who shared this video.
[00:02:47]  I want to show you this.
[00:02:48]  Well, we've been watching the Supreme Court.
[00:02:50]  Israel is being pounded by Iran, sirens sounding over Tel Aviv as a barrage of missiles hit the nation.
[00:02:56]  Let's bring in Jonathan Hunt with more.
[00:02:57]  Jonathan.
[00:03:00]  Kaylee, Israel in general and Tel Aviv in particular have been under almost constant bombardment throughout the day today.
[00:03:10]  One of the most intense bombardments, in fact, since the very early days of this war.
[00:03:17]  Just about an hour ago, we had an hour long series of sirens.
[00:03:22]  We watched as the interceptors were launched from this area.
[00:03:27]  At those missiles, which came in one after another after another from Iran.
[00:03:33]  And this, remember, this.
[00:03:36]  Yeah, so they're finally admitting this on corporate media.
[00:03:39]  And then the other thing is that you can see some of that destruction here.
[00:03:43]  absolute panic in Tel Aviv, uh, for people who haven't seen this.
[00:04:14]  Yeah.
[00:04:15]  So you can see some of that, uh, panic there, Larry, uh, First and foremost, why do you think corporate media is finally admitting that Israel's getting hit hard here?
[00:04:25]  Because it's pretty hard to avoid what, you know, the obvious now.
[00:04:32]  Israel, true to its history and its reputation, never misses an opportunity to shoot itself in the head or the foot or some other body part.
[00:04:46]  When they launched.
[00:04:48]  You know, it's one thing to launch this war of genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, but then they decided, oh, let's go after Syria.
[00:04:57]  And now they've invaded southern Lebanon.
[00:05:00]  And they are getting just clobbered in southern Lebanon.
[00:05:06]  In one day, you know, three days ago, four days ago, the Hezbollah knocked out 21 tanks.
[00:05:13]  So the Israelis are driving along this tank column, 21 of them.
[00:05:17]  The Hezbollah blew every single one.
[00:05:21]  Destroyed every single one.
[00:05:24]  Before that, they destroyed eight.
[00:05:27]  They are defeating Israel on the battlefield.
[00:05:32]  And then to top it off, Israel managed to lie the United States into a war.
[00:05:39]  I say lie because they claimed they got Trump convinced oh, we just take out the top people, the regime will collapse.
[00:05:47]  Well, they took out the top people, and the people of Iran got pissed off, is what they got.
[00:05:54]  And they came back with a fury, and their entire offensive force is buried underground.
[00:06:02]  These missile cities build their missiles underground, they store them underground, and they launch them from underground.
[00:06:09]  And no amount of bombing by the United States or Israel can stop that.
[00:06:15]  So I think this is an important sign.
[00:06:19]  We're getting an indicator that, let's say, the deep state establishment, there's a disturbance in the force.
[00:06:25]  Let's go Star Wars analogy.
[00:06:29]  Yesterday, my favorite little old lady from South Carolina, Miss Lindsey Graham, Senator Graham, what a despicable human being he is.
[00:06:44]  I think Jon Stewart on his show put together a montage of Lindsey Graham from 2025 going all the way back to 2006.
[00:06:54]  Every year, we got to destroy Iran.
[00:06:56]  We got to take out the leadership.
[00:06:58]  We got to destroy Iran.
[00:07:00]  And what was he saying yesterday to President Trump?
[00:07:03]  You know, I think it's time to wind down this war with Iran.
[00:07:07]  He's like, huh?
[00:07:09]  Singing a whole different tune.
[00:07:12]  So the fact that he got that concerned, the fact that they're now removing the.
[00:07:19]  Iran has been hitting Israel like this since February 28th.
[00:07:24]  But it's just now that they're.
[00:07:26]  Oh my God, look what they're doing now.
[00:07:29]  Wait a second.
[00:07:31]  I heard Carolyn Levitt yesterday at least six times say that Iran is defeated.
[00:07:37]  And then that was what Donald Trump said last night.
[00:07:39]  I mean, we've wiped out their Navy.
[00:07:41]  We've wiped out their Air Force.
[00:07:43]  We've wiped out all their leadership, that there's nothing left.
[00:07:46]  And yet, they keep launching these missiles that we cannot intercept into Iran, into Israel, and into our U.S. military bases spread across the Persian Gulf.
[00:08:01]  There's another really significant report.
[00:08:04]  Iran launched a missile attack on Saudi base, killing 500 U.S. soldiers.
[00:08:12]  500.
[00:08:14]  Welcome, everyone.
[00:08:15]  Welcome back to the show.
[00:08:15]  It's your host, Danny Hai Pong.
[00:08:17]  As you can see, I'm joined by Scott Ritter, former U.N. Weapons Inspector and U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, geopolitical analyst, and friend of the show.
[00:08:24]  Scott, good to see you back.
[00:08:26]  Thanks for having me.
[00:08:28]  Yes.
[00:08:28]  Well, I want to ask you about the realities of the war.
[00:08:31]  First, I want to just review a bit about what has happened since the last time this show.
[00:08:35]  Aired in terms of Operation True Promise 4, as this leads into the address that Donald Trump is going to give to the United States about Iran, supposedly, at least that's what we're being told.
[00:08:52]  So, in Wave 89, it was one of the biggest since the beginning of the war, and we had Al Qarj in Saudi Arabia, Iranian media, this is also Iranian sources saying that they struck Al Qarj base where 200 U.S. pilots had been relocated.
[00:09:08]  There's also direct hits on a helicopter base in Kuwait, in the UAE.
[00:09:13]  There are bases hit there.
[00:09:16]  And the promise by Iran to begin hitting U.S. firms has begun.
[00:09:22]  Amazon Web Services and a telecommunications company that is based in Beltelco, Bahrain was also hit.
[00:09:31]  Now, Scott, Israel has also faced a lot of the brunt of Iranian strikes, and Iran is saying they're coordinating with Hezbollah in Yemen now.
[00:09:41]  As part of the entire resistance, Donald Trump is saying that Iran is begging for a ceasefire now.
[00:09:48]  He's kind of flipped on the Strait of Hormuz question, saying it doesn't need to be resolved to end the war.
[00:09:53]  Now it does need to be resolved.
[00:09:55]  Talk about if you could talk about the realities of where the war is now, given that Iran and the United States are saying different things and Iran's actions and U.S. actions are also saying different things.
[00:10:06]  Well, first, we have to understand that Iran has stuck to its plan.
[00:10:11]  And Iran's been executing that plan, implementing that plan.
[00:10:16]  The plan has flexibility built into it that Iran is prepared for.
[00:10:20]  So as the conflict goes on, Iran has been able to expand the scope and scale of its response, not just hitting Israel, but hitting American bases.
[00:10:31]  Donald Trump expressed surprise that Iran would do this, but Iran had been saying they would do that no matter what, but also expanding the conflict to regional actors who have been supporting, The US Israeli aggression against Iran, the Gulf Arab states.
[00:10:46]  And they've also shown the ability to diversify their target set.
[00:10:50]  As you pointed out, in response to American attacks against Iranian universities and Iranian civilian infrastructure.
[00:11:03]  Iran has put universities in the region on notice, those that have an American presence, and also American businesses on notice.
[00:11:12]  And they struck, as you said, an Amazon related business in Bahrain, and there'll be more.
[00:11:20]  It's always curious when you see the naysayers out there saying that Iran's running out of missiles, they don't have enough missile launchers, and yet today, Iran.
[00:11:29]  Showed that it has enough to expand its launch capacity.
[00:11:33]  And we're also seeing Iran starting to make use of more advanced missiles.
[00:11:37]  As they said, they would seek to exhaust their older missile supply.
[00:11:41]  And now they're deploying new missiles, new missiles that are being built underground in missile assembly facilities.
[00:11:47]  Iran's capabilities aren't being eroded, despite what Pete Hegseth says.
[00:11:51]  Iran's capabilities are expanding.
[00:11:54]  And this is Iran winning the war.
[00:11:57]  There's just no other way to put it.
[00:11:58]  The United States is in purely reactive mode.
[00:12:02]  Israel is in reactive mode.
[00:12:03]  All the United States and Israel can do right now is drop bombs on targets they don't even know how to identify.
[00:12:09]  We have a situation where U.S. military planners have defaulted to the tonnage equals damage model.
[00:12:18]  It was one that we used during Desert Storm when near the end of the strategic air campaign, as it came time to set off the ground invasion, battle damage assessment people like me were saying we haven't achieved the level of destruction that the commander in chief. General Schwarzkopf said needed to be achieved before initiating the ground attack.
[00:12:39]  And this frustrated Schwarzkopf and the Air Force because they simply weren't doing their job.
[00:12:43]  I mean, they were flying aircraft.
[00:12:45]  They were dropping bombs, but, you know, air power will not win a conflict.
[00:12:49]  This is the lesson that's been known ever since, you know, air power, um, you know, entered the stage.
[00:12:54]  Uh, it's a support, not win a war through air power alone.
[00:12:59]  Um, and yet this is what the United States is trying to do.
[00:13:03]  Um, you know, and, and, and what happened is they, in order to get the green light to do the ground attack, um, they just changed the equation.
[00:13:13]  They said it's not about what, Professionals like me see on the ground.
[00:13:16]  It's about if we drop X number of bombs, we achieve a certain percentage of outcomes.
[00:13:20]  And so they just start dropping bombs, increasing the tonnage, and they start proclaiming victory.
[00:13:24]  And they launched a ground attack.
[00:13:26]  But the war wasn't won by air power.
[00:13:29]  I got thrown out of the theater after the war ended because I had the audacity to attempt to do an on the ground battle damage assessment of an actual battlefield where the Tawakana Division engaged the U.S. Army.
[00:13:45]  And I was going to grit it out and go in and document every piece of destroyed Iraqi equipment and then ascertain what destroyed it to an examination, what was the kill, and then identify the weapon that killed it and see what percentage of Iraqi equipment were destroyed by ground forces or by air power.
[00:14:10]  The Air Force would like us to believe that they destroyed everything.
[00:14:13]  It turned out they destroyed almost nothing at all, that almost all of the damage done was done by.
[00:14:18]  Ground forces, and this is you know, as soon as I started doing that, I came back from my initial excursion.
[00:14:25]  And our military police who took me and said, You're going home, you're packing your stuff, we're going to escort you on the airplane.
[00:14:32]  They shut it down because they don't want the truth.
[00:14:34]  I'm just telling you right now, we are not winning this war by air power.
[00:14:38]  When you have Heg set talk about bombing them or Trump bombing them into the Stone Age, we're not accomplishing anything.
[00:14:45]  We're blowing up empty buildings, we're blowing up civilian infrastructure.
[00:14:50]  History will show, for instance, in World War II, as we targeted the German defense industry with a strategic air campaign, that they went underground.
[00:15:00]  They were producing more Messerschmitts at the end of the war than they were at the beginning of the war.
[00:15:05]  They had improved the efficiency of their production by going underground.
[00:15:10]  For the Germans, it was oil and being able to have gasoline for their tanks, for their aircraft.
[00:15:16]  But they were producing more aircraft.

=== NATO's Role and Perfidy (11:08) ===

[00:15:19]  The Iranians have been preparing for this war for 20 years.
[00:15:22]  They have.
[00:15:23]  By some estimates, 27 underground missile cities.
[00:15:27]  And these mean not just missiles ready to launch, but missile production facilities where they can assemble the missiles.
[00:15:35]  And we're just not ready for this.
[00:15:38]  We don't have a plan.
[00:15:40]  We literally don't have a plan.
[00:15:41]  We're making it up as we go along.
[00:15:43]  And we can see that with Europe.
[00:15:46]  I mean, you know, 1990, 1991, we built a coalition.
[00:15:51]  I mean, remember, we had French airplanes flying, Italian airplanes flying, British airplanes flying, we had British divisions.
[00:15:57]  French division.
[00:15:58]  You know, we had Arabs.
[00:16:00]  The Syrians were there.
[00:16:01]  The Egyptians were there.
[00:16:02]  The Moroccans were there.
[00:16:04]  The Pakistanis were there.
[00:16:07]  We had built this coalition to confront Saddam Hussein.
[00:16:10]  We had a Chapter 7 resolution of the United Nations Security Council.
[00:16:14]  And importantly, as Americans, we had a congressional resolution authorizing the use of force to implement this.
[00:16:21]  In 2003, we couldn't get a Security Council resolution.
[00:16:24]  We couldn't get, we got some sort of half hearted congressional authorization.
[00:16:30]  But we went to the Europeans.
[00:16:32]  And I remember Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Armitage went to NATO in the spring of.
[00:16:41]  2002.
[00:16:42]  And they made the case.
[00:16:44]  They said there's weapons of mass destruction and NATO needs to intervene.
[00:16:49]  I was invited by NATO to come and give a rebuttal.
[00:16:53]  And I went and you stop it.
[00:16:54]  The U.S. ambassador at the time called me a known enemy of the state, and NATO shouldn't allow a known enemy of the state to address it.
[00:17:02]  But I had the meeting, and NATO rejected it.
[00:17:06]  They said, we're not going to war.
[00:17:07]  And probably because of the briefing I gave.
[00:17:10]  I think it was, you know, the majority of NATO ambassadors who attended the briefing wrote demarches to the United States condemning Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Arbitrage for lying to them, misleading them.
[00:17:22]  And NATO didn't attend.
[00:17:23]  But at least the United States tried.
[00:17:25]  You gave it the old let's try it.
[00:17:28]  I'm still talking about old Europe, new Europe.
[00:17:30]  You know, we turned to the new Europe and we got the Poles to send, you know, commandos in.
[00:17:34]  And, you know, this is, you know, the beginning of the, you know, one of the reasons why we expanded NATO was to get this new Europe that we could manipulate.
[00:17:41]  But we didn't even try this time.
[00:17:43]  No effort was made whatsoever to get Europe on board.
[00:17:46]  When I flew to Desert Storm or Desert Shield at the time, I flew from the United States, from Tampa to Spain.
[00:17:53]  And then from, I think it was Torahon.
[00:17:55]  And from Torahon then to Riyadh.
[00:17:58]  Spain is a transit point for U.S. You know, aircraft, and it's important.
[00:18:02]  We got to logistically sustain this war.
[00:18:04]  We can do that through an air bridge from the United States through Spain on then.
[00:18:07]  Torjon and I mean, Sigonella in Sicily is also an important base.
[00:18:12]  Italy played an important role.
[00:18:14]  We have Ramstein plays an important role.
[00:18:18]  We have bases in the United Kingdom that play an important role.
[00:18:23]  They're all been denied to us now because, I mean, I think the British have opened up their bases, but Spain, Italy, they're not letting the airspace be used or their bases be used because we didn't even try to coordinate.
[00:18:33]  We made no effort to coordinate with Europe.
[00:18:35]  We've lost Europe.
[00:18:36]  And now what Trump's throwing a temper trap at him saying, you know, oh, we're going to leave NATO.
[00:18:41]  Well, leave NATO already.
[00:18:43]  I mean, I've been supporting leaving NATO for a long time because NATO is an organization that has no legitimate mission since the end of the Cold War.
[00:18:51]  But, you know, right now, the.
[00:18:53]  You know, the Europeans always feared America leaving, but it's been exposed.
[00:18:57]  If Europe stays in NATO or if NATO stays intact, Europe's just solidifying the reality they're nothing more than an extension, tools of an American foreign policy that is about illegal wars of aggression.
[00:19:09]  Because that's what's happening in Iran today.
[00:19:11]  There's no legal foundation whatsoever for what we're doing.
[00:19:13]  None.
[00:19:14]  Zero.
[00:19:14]  No constitutional authorization.
[00:19:16]  No authorization under the Charter of the United Nations.
[00:19:20]  It's an illegal war of aggression.
[00:19:22]  We didn't even try to get them.
[00:19:23]  We're sending a third aircraft carrier.
[00:19:25]  We had seven aircraft carriers deployed up front during Desert Storm.
[00:19:29]  Seven.
[00:19:29]  Because we knew it was a war.
[00:19:30]  We were ready for the war.
[00:19:32]  We don't know what we're doing right now.
[00:19:34]  Ground troops, boots on the ground.
[00:19:36]  Do you guys understand that 10,000 troops accomplish nothing?
[00:19:40]  Zero?
[00:19:41]  There will be no ground invasion with 10,000.
[00:19:43]  You might do a raid, but an invasion implies that you're seizing and holding territory.
[00:19:49]  Please, people, you think we can do everything?
[00:19:53]  And I'm trying to tell you, as a guy who was you know, in the Marine Corps, and I love the Marine Corps, two battalion landing teams will do nothing against the Iranians.
[00:20:00]  They might be able to carry out a raid here, a raid there.
[00:20:04]  But when you look at large scale amphibious operations, battalions aren't that big.
[00:20:08]  But 500, 800 men across the beach, how much territory can they hold?
[00:20:14]  Use your brains, people.
[00:20:15]  Use your brains.
[00:20:18]  He's so good, Joe, in my opinion.
[00:20:22]  Scott Ritter is an American hero of our time.
[00:20:25]  He's among the few truth tellers out there.
[00:20:29]  Colonel McGregor, Larry Johnson, Colonel Wilkerson, join him.
[00:20:35]  Scott, in my opinion, has had a preeminent role in correcting false impressions, propaganda being promulgated by the United States because he's a truth teller.
[00:20:49]  Your thoughts about the situation we're in here, Scott's addressing?
[00:20:54]  Yeah, I really admire Scott.
[00:20:56]  I got his book, Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika.
[00:21:00]  At a book rally that he had in Elgin, Texas, about two or three years ago, I was hoping to get him on as a guest on TNT radio, but it was about an hour and a half long presentation.
[00:21:10]  He stayed afterwards and did an hour long book signing and question period.
[00:21:14]  He's a remarkable person, but uh, yeah, he gets attacked by a lot of different people.
[00:21:20]  I want to introduce two vocabulary words we need to discuss today.
[00:21:23]  One of them is pyrhic victory, P Y R R H I C victory, yeah, pyrhic.
[00:21:31]  Pirate victory.
[00:21:32]  Yeah, this is based on a Greek king that decided he wanted to take over the southern part of Rome.
[00:21:38]  And so he invaded Rome in 280.
[00:21:42]  BC with 20,000 infantry.
[00:21:45]  He ended up having a big battle with the Romans, ended up winning that battle at great cost.
[00:21:51]  And then the Romans reattacked in 279 BC and he had another great victory.
[00:22:00]  But afterwards, the Romans lost 6,000.
[00:22:04]  Pyrrhus lost 3,500.
[00:22:07]  He later commented at the victory of Aculum, stating, If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we will be utterly ruined.
[00:22:16]  And I think that's where we are with our victories against.
[00:22:21]  And then also, we have the vocabulary word perfidy, P E R F I D Y.
[00:22:27]  This is deliberate betrayal of trust, treachery, and disloyalty.
[00:22:31]  This is when you, yeah.
[00:22:34]  Perfidy.
[00:22:34]  Perfidy.
[00:22:35]  Yeah.
[00:22:35]  Well, there you go.
[00:22:36]  I can't pronounce, but I can define like.
[00:22:41]  I can look them up in the dictionary.
[00:22:43]  Anyhow, yeah, this is when you come out with a false, white.
[00:22:47]  Flag saying we're going to have a truce, and then you shoot the people from the other side that are doing the truce, which we've done repeatedly.
[00:22:53]  And we've done it repeatedly in multiple fronts.
[00:22:57]  Trump called Putin and said, We need to talk about what's going on in Ukraine.
[00:23:02]  Where are you located?
[00:23:03]  And Putin said, Well, I'm at one of my command centers.
[00:23:06]  He goes, Okay.
[00:23:07]  And as he was geolocating where Putin was, he said, Well, don't leave because we need to be on the phone for an hour or two.
[00:23:15]  And then, boom, Ukraine sends missiles over, dozens of them, and tries to hit.
[00:23:20]  The command center where Putin is.
[00:23:23]  So, absolutely know that.
[00:23:24]  And then all this subterfuge with witchcraft, warlock witchcraft, and Prince Cushy on two fronts with Ukraine and Iran is just absolutely absurd.
[00:23:36]  And then, how many times is it like, oh, yeah, we're going to have a peace treaty?
[00:23:40]  It looks like we've resolved all of the issues.
[00:23:42]  And then, boom, Friday the 13th in June 2025, they do a sneak attack and kill the leadership of Iran.
[00:23:49]  Then they do another sneak attack on the 28th of February, you know, with peace talks ongoing.
[00:23:57]  So, bottom line is that's what we're dealing with.
[00:24:00]  We are the most disreputable combatant on the world stage at this point, co partners and co signing in that with Israel, who are absolutely 100% war criminals.
[00:24:15]  So, we've signed on.
[00:24:16]  Yeah.
[00:24:18]  Yeah.
[00:24:19]  The perfidy is overwhelming and a pirate victory.
[00:24:24]  If you want to claim, for example, Recapturing this pilot, you know, rescuing him from Moran was a great victory.
[00:24:33]  We're not going to be able to sustain many more without being ruined.
[00:24:38]  Here's a wonderful piece by Winter Watch about it.
[00:24:42]  Were the pilot rescue bosses in actuality a lame brain, mad McAfee up commando operation?
[00:24:50]  I think he's making a point.
[00:24:53]  He was Greta Thunberg Respector.
[00:24:55]  The pilot is completely fine.
[00:24:57]  Yes, he walked 110 miles across several mountains.
[00:25:00]  While mortally wounded.
[00:25:03]  Immortally wounded, of course, that's a permanent, that's a fatal wound.
[00:25:06]  Yes, he's back home now, safe and sound, enjoying life and proud to have served.
[00:25:11]  No, you can't see him now.
[00:25:12]  No, we can't share his name.
[00:25:15]  Here's one in a million, Jerry, I tell you, one in a million, meaning how often something like this would be true.
[00:25:24]  And of course, Joe, it ain't.
[00:25:27]  We're going to be back.
[00:25:28]  There's a lot of issues here for us to cover.
[00:25:32]  Stand by.

=== The Failed Airfield Seizure (15:06) ===

[00:30:16]  Here's some of the reports from Winter Watch.
[00:30:19]  Key points.
[00:30:20]  HC 130s carrying 60 plus troops were unnecessary for a CSAR.
[00:30:26]  That's a rescue mission.
[00:30:28]  For one pilot, they were sitting docks.
[00:30:32]  Zogbots are very active to refute this latest from Operation Ebony CAFOP.
[00:30:38]  Zogbots meaning online automated reports that are all propaganda.
[00:30:44]  Here's Will Schweier.
[00:30:46]  Relevant data points and his thoughts.
[00:30:50]  The alleged F 35E crash site has been geolocated to a site not far from Isfahan and the Nantense nuclear sites.
[00:31:00]  The HC 130J can carry two MH6 Littlebird helicopters plus 10 troops.
[00:31:07]  HC 130J can carry one MH6.
[00:31:12]  Here we have the crash site location.
[00:31:16]  Your analysis is way more plausible than the U.S. government CENTCOM Cool Study Bro Hollywood movie.
[00:31:24]  Idea.
[00:31:24]  So what happened?
[00:31:27]  Here's a little TikTok version.
[00:31:29]  Well, this is how it started at 2.15 hours.
[00:31:32]  A flight of two F-15 East Strike Eagles crosses the border at low altitude.
[00:31:36]  A pilot and a weapons system officer were flying their target a deeply buried command bunker.
[00:31:41]  They use terrain following radar to hide in the valleys, staying beneath the gaze of Iran's long range Bevar 373 missile network.
[00:31:48]  But what happens when they have to strike?
[00:31:50]  To drop its GBU-28 bunker buster, the Leeds Strike Eagle has to pull up and moved above the mountains.
[00:31:56]  This is breaking the radar horizon.
[00:31:58]  In a gorge below, highly mobile, Tor M1's surface to air missile system is waiting.
[00:32:03]  It achieves a lock, and two missiles leave the rails.
[00:32:06]  The pilot dumps flares and pulls high GS.
[00:32:08]  One missile is spoofed.
[00:32:10]  But could they evade the second?
[00:32:11]  Well, the second missile detonates on proximity, causing catastrophic hydraulic failure.
[00:32:16]  The crew ejects into the pitch black mountains, and the Sandy protocol is immediately activated.
[00:32:20]  But this is the US military, and they will move heaven on earth to rescue a fallen combat.
[00:32:27]  At 2.45 hours in the morning, because the crash is near the border, A-10 Thunderbolt II operating nearby are diverted for resort, also called rescue escort.
[00:32:36]  Down below, Iranian quick reaction forces are closing in on the downed airmen.
[00:32:40]  Believe A-10 executes a low-level straight from the ground with the legendary 30mm of Enter cannon, neutralizing the convoy.
[00:32:50]  But how did this aggressive maneuver come at a cost?
[00:32:52]  The noise and tracers give away its position, as the A-10 banks hard, bleeding off airspeed.
[00:32:58]  For context, Iran recently flooded the battlefield with these Chinese shoulder Fired missiles, weapons that are essentially reverse engineered clones of Russian MAMPAD.
[00:33:05]  The Iranian soldier fires a Massa 2 inferred guided missile.
[00:33:09]  At this altitude, countermeasures deploy too late.
[00:33:12]  The missile shreds the right turbofan engine.
[00:33:14]  But can the Warthog's legendary armor save it?
[00:33:17]  Yes, the armor did save it from this missile launcher as it flew even with a damaged engine.
[00:33:21]  Because of the armor, the pilot managed to point the dying jet toward a plateau and punches out.
[00:33:25]  But just how many crash sites are we looking at?
[00:33:27]  The F 15E crashed deep inside southwestern Iran.
[00:33:31]  Specifically, local reports and verified wreckage photos.
[00:33:34]  Place the crash site in the rugged mountainous terrain of the Koju Lui and Boyer Almad province, while the A-10 Warthog did not go down over the Iranian mainland.
[00:33:43]  After taking heavy damage during the search and rescue escort mission, the pilot managed to navigate the crippled jet away from the mountains and towards safer airspace.
[00:33:51]  The rugged battle damage A-10 eventually crashed in the southern waters of the Persian Gulf, specifically near the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:33:59]  Now, this at 3.15 hours, a dedicated combat search and rescue package launches.
[00:34:04]  These are highly trained rescue units built for this type of rescue mission.
[00:34:07]  It includes an HC 130J Combat King.
[00:34:10]  This acts as an airborne command center, followed by two Asia 60 DILA helicopters, call signs Pedro 11 and Pedro 12.
[00:34:18]  They fly them in the radar, topping off their fuel in midair to maximize loiter time.
[00:34:22]  Or will they make it into hostile territory undetected?
[00:34:25]  Well, they push deep into the Zagros Mountains just as dawn approaches.
[00:34:29]  4 45 hours.
[00:34:30]  Pedro 11 locates the A 10 pilot's inferred strove.
[00:34:33]  Pedro 12 circles above, providing overwatch with its.50 caliber machine guns.
[00:34:38]  Pedro 11 flares for landing, and the P's hit the dirt.
[00:34:41]  To secure the pilot.
[00:34:42]  Then this happened to hidden Iranian Su 23, a Soviet era anti aircraft gun opened fire from a concealed hideout.
[00:34:48]  It's an ambush.
[00:34:50]  Heavy armor piercing rounds tear through Pedro 12 as it orbits, resulting in severed transmission lines and an injured crew.
[00:34:57]  The pilot wrestles the crippled chopper into a hard controlled crash near Pedro 11.
[00:35:02]  The rescue mission is now a fight for survival, and Pedro 11 is the only way home.
[00:35:07]  Under heavy covering fire, the crew of the downed chopper sprints to the surviving bird.
[00:35:11]  But how did they stop the enemy barrage?
[00:35:13]  Then at 5 2 hours, The C 130 overhead coordinates an immediate strike.
[00:35:18]  Two F 35 stealth fighter jets loitering high above in stealth overwatch draw precision munitions, silencing the anti aircraft gun.
[00:35:28]  With the A 10 pilot, the PJ, and the crash chopper's crew crammed inside, Pedro 11 is maxed out on weight.
[00:35:36]  But how do you fly an overloaded helicopter escape the Zagros mountain?
[00:35:40]  This is how they do it.
[00:35:41]  Pulling maximum power, the engines screaming, they barely clear the tree line and dive back into the valleys, racing for the border.
[00:35:48]  By 5.30 in the morning, Pedro 11 crossed back into Iraqi airspace.
[00:35:52]  Battered, overloaded, but alive.
[00:35:54]  As stated, no one gets left behind.
[00:35:56]  The F-15E crew is still missing in action requiring a massive JISOC raid the following night.
[00:36:01]  Oh wait, an F-35 was also hit during one of its mission sorties.
[00:36:05]  To properly analyze this incident, you need to understand that there are two distinct types of missiles.
[00:36:10]  Radar guided and heat seeking.
[00:36:12]  The F 35 was designed to be practically invisible to long range radar, but it wasn't built to completely hide from heat seeking missiles.
[00:36:18]  So, how exactly did Iran missile manage to bypass the stealth technology of the US F 35?
[00:36:23]  Well, the secret lies in a major vulnerability that is its heat signature.
[00:36:27]  Its geometry and radar absorbent materials make its radar cross section incredibly small, essentially rendering it invisible to traditional early warning and targeting radars.
[00:36:36]  To give you some context, this is how a plane's radar signature compares to a bird's.
[00:36:40]  But the F 35 is powered by a single Pratt Whitney F 135 engine, one of the most powerful fighter engines in the world.
[00:36:48]  Well, there you have the official narrative.
[00:36:51]  According to the American account, the landing took place at a remote old airfield.
[00:36:57]  The military person proceeded to rescue the pilot of the down craft.
[00:37:01]  After that, the captain of the C 130 tried to start it, but it wouldn't start.
[00:37:06]  He left it, and what they did was to destroy the aircraft.
[00:37:11]  Yesterday, here we have the Sultan Ahmed.
[00:37:16]  Just in, former CIA Larry Johnson confirmed my theory yesterday was a failed ground invasion.
[00:37:23]  The USF 15 in Iran was actually preparing for a massive ground attack on the Nantans nuclear facility.
[00:37:32]  The rescue mission was a total catastrophe.
[00:37:38]  Uh, Scott Ritter and Larry Johnson tell us what really happened, Joe.
[00:37:46]  This is supposedly stuck now.
[00:37:52]  The U.S. explanation is that they landed, they don't explain why they landed, uh, but uh, the most likely explanation is they were carrying fuel or a FARP, which is a portable refueling capability, uh, because those little birds, the little birds' range, they could get there.
[00:38:13]  But then they can't get back.
[00:38:15]  And the little bird is flown by the Task Force 160.
[00:38:19]  So I don't know if it's there was a, you know, in the build up to this, we've had the unit, the 160th units out of Hunter Army Airfield and also out of Fort Campbell that have deployed.
[00:38:30]  So, and when the little bird comes in, if you've seen the movie Black Hawk Down, it's like the little helicopter, two pilots, and they've got, you can have four special operations guys, two on each side, sitting on the skids to jump off.
[00:38:45]  So, those four little birds mean you had a total of 20 personnel with them.
[00:38:51]  Then, with the two Pave Hawks, let's add in another eight.
[00:38:56]  So, we're up to 28.
[00:38:57]  And, you know, all of this just to get one guy.
[00:39:03]  Now, and why are those C 130s there?
[00:39:06]  Because, you know, the C 130 can also carry a lot more.
[00:39:13]  Well, the Pave Hawks can carry about 10 combat loads.
[00:39:18]  Uh, guys loaded with for combat plus four crewmen.
[00:39:22]  Uh, the C 130, depending on configured, it can carry up close to uh, you know, 180 troops, you know, fully loaded.
[00:39:32]  So, I mean, it's just was this actually a JSOC raid gone bad?
[00:39:38]  Were they planning to hit Natanz, uh, and and try to you know capture some material, whatever?
[00:39:44]  And then, you know, in the course of this, things went wrong.
[00:39:48]  Oh, there's There's something that's never happened in an attempted special operations mission in Iran.
[00:39:55]  Excuse me.
[00:39:55]  Yeah, that happened 46 years ago.
[00:39:58]  And, you know, they'd always screw up.
[00:40:01]  One of my good friends, he was a young Army Ranger on that mission.
[00:40:06]  He later went on to Delta Force, he was a sniper.
[00:40:09]  But he was there when the helicopter collided with the 130.
[00:40:16]  It killed eight.
[00:40:18]  And, you know, we always said, we leave no man behind.
[00:40:21]  Well, we left eight behind that day, too.
[00:40:23]  Two on the helicopter and six on the plane.
[00:40:25]  So I'd be curious what Scott thinks.
[00:40:29]  Oh, what do you think?
[00:40:30]  Scott looks not happy.
[00:40:33]  No, I apologize for my look.
[00:40:37]  I'm just not feeling good.
[00:40:39]  So, yeah.
[00:40:43]  But I have a little bit different take.
[00:40:49]  The F-15E got shot down and they implemented a standard CSAR mission, which is two Pave Hawks with close air support attached to it.
[00:41:01]  That's what the A-10s would have been.
[00:41:04]  And the Pave Hawks got, they didn't get shot down, but they got, they were made combat ineffective.
[00:41:12]  This often happens when you put helicopters in harm's way.
[00:41:15]  And I believe that both PAPOCs were recovered to Kuwait.
[00:41:20]  An A-10 that was providing close air support got shot down.
[00:41:25]  Again, I think the pilot made it to Kuwait before the plane went down.
[00:41:28]  He bailed out.
[00:41:29]  So there's no need to rescue any of these people.
[00:41:32]  But now we have a pilot.
[00:41:35]  I think the CSAR guys got the first pilot out before they got riddled.
[00:41:39]  And now we got the weapons officer out.
[00:41:44]  Now they need a plan B.
[00:41:48]  And this is where I think it gets interesting because this operation that then went down was an airfield seizure operation.
[00:42:03]  There were more than 100 people on the ground at this little airfield.
[00:42:06]  It's two C 130s, each one with a complement of two AH and MH 6 little birds, so four aircraft.
[00:42:18]  A Ranger element that seizes the airfield, and you would also have Air Force CCTs there.
[00:42:26]  There's also rumors that this airfield had been previously surveyed by the Israelis, Shaldag, and other units.
[00:42:34]  You aren't going to land C 130s in an airfield that hasn't had eyes on the ground.
[00:42:39]  And so you just go back to Desert One, James Carney flying in with his little CIA aircraft so he could go out there and do an airfield survey.
[00:42:49]  So this airfield had been surveyed, but I think it had been surveyed by the Israelis back in June and hadn't been updated.
[00:42:58]  But this is what was executed was, I believe, a Natanz raid reconfigured as crew rescue.
[00:43:10]  So the two C-130s come in.
[00:43:12]  You now have Delta on, well, they're saying SEALs.
[00:43:16]  I'm not quite sure, you know, which tier one organization was out there.
[00:43:23]  You've got 100 guys on the ground securing this airfield and launching this rescue mission.
[00:43:31]  And they got to the guy.
[00:43:34]  Another interesting thing that's going on in there is something I experienced in the Gulf War.
[00:43:41]  The CIA apparently conducted an operation to recruit civilians on the ground who could provide.
[00:43:55]  Safe haven for downed airmen.
[00:43:58]  It's a program I know for a fact was done in Iraq because it also got involved in counter Scud.
[00:44:06]  That's a different story.
[00:44:07]  But, you know, we know that the CIA, I know the guy who ran it, I know the guy who ran the operation in Syria.
[00:44:13]  I worked with him in Iraq a lot, and I know they did it in Syria, and it's understood that the CIA was doing the same thing there.
[00:44:22]  So I don't know to what, you know, whether or not they made contact or they were.
[00:44:28]  You know, being used for diversion purposes, but there was a CIA aspect of this operation taking place as well.
[00:44:36]  But now the C 130s land and.
[00:44:42]  Apparently, they get bogged down at the end of the runway.
[00:44:44]  There's a photograph that shows two intact aircraft at the end of the runway.
[00:44:48]  So they weren't shot down.
[00:44:49]  They weren't crashed.
[00:44:51]  They're there on the ground.
[00:44:53]  Whether they had sustained battle damage is unknown at this point.
[00:44:57]  But what is known is that they were on the ground.
[00:45:00]  They discharged their four AH and MH6 choppers, and they went out and they affected the pickup of this guy, brought him back.
[00:45:11]  But now they can't get the aircraft unstuck.
[00:45:14]  And so now the Iranians are closing in.
[00:45:17]  And apparently they had to hunker down for three hours and have close air support.

=== Blood, Shells, and Depleted Uranium (11:27) ===

[00:45:23]  You had Reapers coming in.
[00:45:24]  Two of them got shot down.
[00:45:26]  It's a big firefight.
[00:45:27]  Maybe the C-130s are taking damage as well.
[00:45:31]  We don't know the full story here.
[00:45:33]  There may have been some casualties on the ground.
[00:45:37]  And, yeah, see, I don't know if those holes are from when the C-130s are on the ground because apparently there was a firefight.
[00:45:46]  There was contact made, fire exchanged.
[00:45:50]  In the end, they couldn't get the C-130s out.
[00:45:54]  So then they turned to a very secret Air Force Special Operations unit.
[00:46:00]  I forget the 475th Squadron or something of that nature.
[00:46:03]  And they fly a C-295W or something of this nature.
[00:46:10]  It's a commercial airline converted.
[00:46:12]  But these aircraft exist to do clandestine infiltrations and extractions of U.S. Special Operations, CIA paramilitaries, et cetera.
[00:46:21]  And they fly three of those in.
[00:46:23]  They pick up the people on the ground, including the pilot.
[00:46:26]  And then the tier one guys on the way out thermite the hell out of the C 130s and the H 64s.
[00:46:35]  And you have three short takeoff and landing aircraft pull out and get people out.
[00:46:43]  That appears to be what I believe happened.
[00:46:49]  I don't know if we left a body on the ground.
[00:46:51]  I mean, that would be stupid to deny it and then have the body show up.
[00:46:55]  I.
[00:46:56]  I know what the bodies looked like in Desert One, and that's not what they looked like.
[00:47:02]  So I don't know if that's just melting steel that came down in the form of a, you know, that looked like a skull or whatever.
[00:47:09]  Who knows?
[00:47:10]  I'm not there yet.
[00:47:13]  But to me, the most important thing is that we compromised the raid, the JSOC raid that would have been used to go against Iran's nuclear.
[00:47:30]  Material.
[00:47:31]  Let me just say, you know, Scott is so good.
[00:47:36]  There's a photograph that Russ Winner had here, I want to return to, which shows that here it is the destruction of this C 130, actually, two C 130s and a chopper.
[00:47:55]  Joe, it looks to me like they wanted to take that little runway.
[00:48:01]  which israelisa surveyed last june but hadn't updated and When the C 130s landed, the runway wasn't in as good condition as necessary.
[00:48:16]  So during the firefight, I suspect both of those planes got taken out and destroyed.
[00:48:22]  And that would be a chopper.
[00:48:24]  I mean, in other words, this was a fiasco that they're trying to turn into an act of heroism, you know, cherry picking.
[00:48:33]  When everything is bad, but there's a little sliver of good, focus on the little sliver of good.
[00:48:38]  Your thoughts, Joe?
[00:48:40]  Well, they've been undercounting every one of the injuries and casualties and destruction of war material throughout this whole entire effort, as going all the way back to the original attack on Friday the 13th in June of 2025.
[00:48:57]  So, yeah, no doubt that that's what they're still up to.
[00:49:03]  But it looks like the death count is probably in the hundreds at this point, the casualty count is in multiple hundreds.
[00:49:12]  The amount of equipment loss is in the billions, probably dozens of billions.
[00:49:17]  And so this thing's adding up really, really fast in the wrong way.
[00:49:21]  But what this may do is it may be a wake up call to the people in the Pentagon that Trump is completely deranged and that this hypothesis of being able to knock over the top of the pyramid and the whole thing fall on Iran is not going to ever work.
[00:49:35]  And that if we do ground invasion, we're just going to compound our losses.
[00:49:39]  It's the.
[00:49:42]  Lost cause fallacy.
[00:49:45]  We've already lost, but if we keep doing more of it, maybe we'll win.
[00:49:49]  Well, that's the problem we're in.
[00:49:51]  It's like the gambler's fallacy.
[00:49:55]  I've had a string of bad luck, so my luck is bound to get better, so I'm going to bet more and continue to lose what I still had.
[00:50:04]  Here we go.
[00:50:05]  Go ahead.
[00:50:06]  And then, as far as being the most moral army in the world, the first cluster bombs were used by Germany and KURSK in 1943.
[00:50:15]  The United States.
[00:50:16]  Used them in Vietnam between 65 and 75.
[00:50:19]  We used them in the first Iraq war in 1991.
[00:50:22]  We used them in Yugoslavia.
[00:50:23]  We used them again in Iraq in 2003.
[00:50:27]  And then the world decided that that was a terrible thing to do.
[00:50:31]  So they passed the cluster bomb prohibition treaty in 2008.
[00:50:36]  112 nations signed it.
[00:50:38]  But since the United States and Israel wouldn't sign it, China and Russia said, and Iran said, if you won't sign it, we won't either.
[00:50:46]  And so we're still doing those.
[00:50:47]  So what did we do?
[00:50:49]  In 2012, We dropped cluster bombs on Syria to help ISIS overthrow Assad.
[00:50:55]  And in 2022, we gave hundreds of cluster bombs to Ukraine so they could kill hundreds of Russians.
[00:51:02]  Yeah, that's how moral we are.
[00:51:04]  And then there's a guy that's got a website, Peter Boris, B O R N I U S.
[00:51:08]  He interviewed a guy named Dr. Chris Busby, who's a nuclear expert.
[00:51:13]  He said that he's collected isotope samples that 100% prove that the Beirut fertilizer bombing that happened, I think, in 2006 was a nuclear event and that.
[00:51:24]  The Israelis have used many nukes on virtually every one of the high rise buildings that they've attacked in Beirut.
[00:51:31]  So, this is the most moral army in the world using nuclear weapons against their neighbors.
[00:51:37]  They're.
[00:51:39]  Decimating the Houthis with a whole bunch of tactical nukes, too, Joe.
[00:51:43]  They're just using.
[00:51:44]  That's what he said.
[00:51:44]  Yeah, he said he got samples that he couldn't get directly, but he had samples that were claimed to be from Gaza, and he said they all showed isotopes, too.
[00:51:53]  So, yeah, that's what they're doing.
[00:51:55]  I've interviewed Christopher Busby before when he visited Fallujah.
[00:52:00]  They had an outbreaking of genetic abnormalities no arms, two heads, that sort of thing, which he has suspected was from the use of the depleted uranium in the.
[00:52:11]  Anti tank shells because it's so dense it passes through steel.
[00:52:16]  Remember, it's a fundamental law of material science that when metals collide, the more dense prevails over the less.
[00:52:25]  But he discovered all kinds of residue indicating from enriched uranium from a new class of tactical nukes that the United States was using in Iraq already, Joe.
[00:52:37]  In the first Gulf War in '91, we dumped 330 tons of depleted uranium artillery shells.
[00:52:45]  That's what those A 10s fire, those armor piercing shells.
[00:52:48]  And the depleted uranium is in the core of the bullet.
[00:52:51]  And when it goes through the armor, it vaporizes.
[00:52:53]  And so it fills the whole inside of the tank with uranium dust, which is radioactive for 10,000 years.
[00:53:01]  So, bottom line is, we, and then when we did the second one, we dumped 1,300 tons of depleted uranium.
[00:53:08]  And you could have done the same thing with tungsten cores in the artillery shells, but tungsten costs about $20 a pound.
[00:53:17]  And Depleted uranium, you get paid to take it away from the nuclear power plants because it's radioactive waste.
[00:53:24]  And so basically, you get free material that you can use to poison the other side of the planet by recycling it from U.S. nuclear sites.
[00:53:34]  The whole thing is just absolutely maniacal that we have this kind of mindset in our government.
[00:53:41]  Here we have raw news pursuing the issue you were raising earlier.
[00:53:46]  Is Donald Trump facing a military mutiny over his losing war in Iran?
[00:53:53]  Over the past couple of weeks, there have been growing media reports that we were preparing to launch a ground invasion of Iranian territory, even as more and more American troops were brought into the region.
[00:54:06]  But this very moment, the Trump admin suddenly fired Randy George, America's top Army general, along with a couple of others, also of very high rank.
[00:54:17]  It seems implausible that these important developments were totally unconnected.
[00:54:25]  Conducting such a military purge in the early stages of a major war seemed unprecedented in our national history.
[00:54:35]  So, this was merely the latest example of how the government of Donald Trump has done things no previous American president has ever considered doing on the internet.
[00:54:47]  Trump partisans quickly declared these generals had been removed for ideological reasons unconnected with any disputes over the management of the Iran war.
[00:54:58]  The army commanders fired had allegedly been hangovers from the Biden ad mint, overly woke in their views, and indeed Media League supported this, indicating that disputes over diversity policies in promotions had been a crucial factor.
[00:55:18]  But numerous leading congressional Republicans soon publicly praised George, expressing shock and dismay over Zallister, suggesting if he'd been too liberal, Most right-wing Republicans loyal to Trump have apparently been unaware of that fact.
[00:55:36]  We'll continue right after this break.

[00:56:14]  We'll be right back after this message.
[00:56:24]  Was it a conspiracy?
[00:56:25]  Did you know that the police in Boston were broadcasting, this is a drill, this is a drill, on bull hordes during the marathon?
[00:56:33]  That the Boston Globe was tweeting that a demonstration bomb would be set off during the marathon for the benefit of bomb squad activities?
[00:56:42]  And that one would be set off in one minute in front of the library, which happened as the Globe had announced.

=== The Calamitous Artemis Incursion (15:37) ===

[01:00:54]  By the way, Trump's about to go on television and talk about the heroic rescue we've just reviewed, which was actually a calamitous failure of an attempted incursion.
[01:01:06]  The idea of going into Iran to secure their uranium resources is an absurdity.
[01:01:15]  They're deep underground.
[01:01:17]  There's no possible way an American intervention could succeed.
[01:01:23]  And if it's attempted again, it will be just as successful as what. we have just witnessed here.
[01:01:29]  Meanwhile, continue with Ron Oons on the prospect of a military mutiny.
[01:01:36]  Furthermore, very soon after his second inauguration, Trump had replaced the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff along with other members of that body, and the top leaders of NSA had been fired a few weeks later.
[01:01:50]  Trump had apparently made these personnel changes on ideological grounds.
[01:01:57]  So, if George had fallen into that same category, he surely would have been swept out at that time.
[01:02:03]  Agreed.
[01:02:05]  Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports suggest very different factors were involved that have attracted millions of views on Twitter.
[01:02:18]  Here we have on Mina Paul's.
[01:02:21]  An hour after announcing his resignation, US Army Chief of Staff says a madman will lead the great US military to ruin.
[01:02:30]  Confirmed.
[01:02:31]  Pentagon and US Sent Command is facing anxiety and confusion.
[01:02:35]  His generals have openly defied illegal orders.
[01:02:39]  High profile sackings ongoing.
[01:02:42]  There's a silent voice beneath his surface.
[01:02:45]  Indeed, when questioned by members of Congress, B. Hagseth seemed completely unable.
[01:02:52]  To provide an explanation for why it fired all those top ranking generals.
[01:02:57]  That suggests a major factor had been their huge concern about the course of our war with Iran.
[01:03:05]  Here's the resonance.
[01:03:07]  How many generals have it fired, Higseth?
[01:03:09]  I don't know the number.
[01:03:11]  You don't know the number?
[01:03:12]  It's eight.
[01:03:13]  Why did you fire them, Higseth?
[01:03:16]  At the pleasure of the president.
[01:03:20]  This is a catastrophe, Joe.
[01:03:23]  Our current war is certainly the most serious conflict America has fought in decades.
[01:03:27]  Iran is a nation of over 90 million, possessing a huge arsenal of ballistic missiles and powerful drones.
[01:03:35]  So, in many respects, our foes seem larger, better armed, and more effective than any we have faced since the Korean War three generations ago.
[01:03:43]  Only a sliver of the current American population personally remembers that conflict or the major military defeats that we suffered at the time.
[01:03:55]  I think it's quite remarkable.
[01:03:58]  For the general to say that a madman is going to lead the U.S. military to its ruin, I think he's got it right, Joe.
[01:04:10]  I think he's got it right.
[01:04:11]  Your thoughts?
[01:04:13]  Well, he definitely got a madman and he's got Tourette's syndrome.
[01:04:16]  He's sending out explicit, loaded tweets on his quote, truth, untruth social.
[01:04:23]  Getting a little bit more details on the uranium, according to Dr. Busby.
[01:04:29]  It takes 50 kilograms of critical mass of 90% refined uranium to be explosive.
[01:04:36]  And then it only takes 10 grams of plutonium.
[01:04:41]  Well, we don't know how much plutonium they have, but they admitted to having several hundred pounds of actually 200 kilos.
[01:04:49]  So that's 440 pounds of critical mass of uranium.
[01:04:54]  And that stuff's radioactive to the point where it has to be in lead line containers.
[01:04:59]  So you're going to break into a facility not knowing where.
[01:05:02]  This stuff would be concentrated, and they certainly wouldn't put it all in one location.
[01:05:07]  And then you're going to have a couple of dozen guys haul it out of there and put it in helicopters and fly it out.
[01:05:13]  This sounds as crazy as the Eagle Claw scheme that Jimmy Carter dreamed up to free the hostages from the U.S. Embassy in the summer of 1980 and cost him the election against Ronald Reagan, although he had other problems at that same time.
[01:05:29]  So, bottom line is, yeah, this was.
[01:05:33]  Completely half baked, and the only thing you can hope is that it's enough of a failure that is known quick enough by enough people that he's not able to compound it with the lost sunk cause fallacy of dumping 50,000 troops on the shores where they will get massacred.
[01:05:51]  And of course, you know, this Sagseth guy is a lunatic himself.
[01:05:57]  He's got all these weird tattoos.
[01:06:01]  He seemed to be a complete Christian Zionist.
[01:06:07]  I understand he's even given instructions to the military to instill in the troops that Trump is anointed and that this is a religious war to bring about the return of Christ to earth.
[01:06:23]  Joe, it's that bad.
[01:06:25]  I think we are being led by lunatics.
[01:06:29]  Something has to be done about it.
[01:06:33]  I don't know what you'd.
[01:06:36]  It's called Operation APAC Fury because that's exactly what it is.
[01:06:41]  We're doing whatever furious things the APAC lobbyists were forcing us to do.
[01:06:46]  It's undefensible.
[01:06:48]  We appear to be trying to sci-hop.
[01:06:52]  This is a weird.
[01:06:59]  Not identified.
[01:07:01]  Presumably an alien spacecraft, but I'm sure it's a.
[01:07:33]  There's more about it.
[01:07:38]  Very peculiar.
[01:07:42]  Not a single word from anyone in authority about what this might be.
[01:07:46]  Extremely large anomaly in the sky over Astana, Kazakhstan.
[01:07:54]  As of 11 26 p.m. Eastern, Saturday, April 4th, 2026, there's an unidentified and extremely large anomaly.
[01:08:04]  High in the sky above Astana, Kazakhstan.
[01:08:07]  We've looked at the video.
[01:08:11]  Not a single word from anyone in authority as to what this is or why it's there.
[01:08:18]  The scalable map shows the city of Astana, Kazakhstan.
[01:08:22]  It can be zoomed out to help you identify where this is in the world.
[01:08:26]  Joe, your thoughts.
[01:08:30]  Well, the psyops never stop, so it could be that we're dealing with some holograms that they decided would be a good time to throw the.
[01:08:38]  Aliens into the picture about the same time that we're getting ready to circle the moon and wave at it as we go by.
[01:08:45]  Oh, I know, Joe.
[01:08:46]  It's just ridiculous.
[01:08:49]  Since you brought it up, I want us to be sure to talk about it today.
[01:08:55]  Here we have NASA's Artemis II crunch on a launch to the moon.
[01:09:01]  This is just ridiculous, Joe.
[01:09:04]  Ridiculous.
[01:09:05]  GLS's go for upper stage internal power.
[01:09:09]  There's the launch.
[01:09:11]  My power is removed from the rocket's upper stage, the ICPS, and it's been switched to battery.
[01:09:17]  Same milestone for the lower core stage coming up at T minus 1 minute and 30 seconds.
[01:09:23]  Right now, the four person Artemis II crew is 248,000 miles away from the moon.
[01:09:29]  And if all goes well, they will fly by it in six days.
[01:09:37]  TLS's go for core stage to internal power.
[01:09:41]  Alright, there's the rocket's core stage, which houses three flight computers, is now on its own power.
[01:09:51]  There's no more hold time because there's no more margin on these batteries, so we would have to recycle back to T-10 to recharge if we had a hold.
[01:10:07]  One minute.
[01:10:08]  Right now, the rocket does not know what the T0 is, but coming up at T minus 33 seconds, control shifts from the ground launch sequencer to the rocket's onboard autonomous launch sequencer, or ALS.
[01:10:20]  The rocket will count itself down, but honor any holds that could come from the ground.
[01:10:25]  Now, shortly after liftoff, Houston will take control of the rocket, and my colleague Gary Jordan will take over commentary.
[01:10:34]  TLS, go for ALS.
[01:10:36]  Great call out.
[01:10:37]  The rocket is on its own.
[01:10:39]  Four brave explorers ready to ride the most powerful rocket NASA has ever launched.
[01:10:50]  Sound suppression water is flowing.
[01:10:54]  And here we go.
[01:10:56]  10, 9, 8, 7.
[01:11:00]  RS 25 engines hit.
[01:11:01]  4, 3, 2, 1.
[01:11:06]  Booster ignition.
[01:11:08]  And lift off.
[01:11:10]  The crew of Artemis 2 now bound for the moon.
[01:11:13]  Humanity's next great voyage begins.
[01:11:20]  Good roll pitch.
[01:11:23]  Roger, roll pitch.
[01:11:27]  Houston now controlling the flight of Integrity on the Artemis 2 mission around the moon.
[01:11:35]  Integrity, AMT high.
[01:11:38]  AMT high.
[01:11:41]  On time passing 30 seconds.
[01:11:43]  Integrity passes the alternate vehicle.
[01:11:45]  Target milestone.
[01:11:47]  Mission Control Houston seeks good performance on the four main engines.
[01:11:50]  Space Launch System Core Stage.
[01:11:51]  Integrity, three miles in altitude.
[01:11:55]  traveling more than 1,200 miles per hour.
[01:11:58]  Mission to last time, passing one minute, approaching Max-Q.
[01:12:22]  On, positively on.
[01:12:25]  Stan, we have you loud and clear on positively on.
[01:12:28]  Have you the same.
[01:12:31]  Communication signal transfer confirmed as Integrity and its crew go supersonic.
[01:12:36]  Approaching 90 seconds into the Artemis 2 mission.
[01:12:39]  Integrity is 14 miles in altitude, 8 miles downrange, traveling more than 2,600 miles per hour.
[01:13:01]  50 seconds of mission elapsed time, standing by for main engine throttle down to 85% ahead of solid rocket booster separation expected at the 2 minute 9 second mark.
[01:13:14]  We see throttle down.
[01:13:22]  Separation.
[01:13:24]  Main engines throttling up, guidance converged.
[01:13:35]  Guidance converged, performance nominal, upper stage RCS ready.
[01:13:47]  SM priming complete.
[01:13:54]  45 seconds of mission elapsed time into the Artemis 2 mission.
[01:13:57]  Thrusters on integrity and upper stage confirmed in a ready state ahead of service module fairing separation.
[01:14:09]  Into the flight.
[01:14:10]  Integrity 49 miles in altitude, 78 miles downrange.
[01:14:14]  Now passing 5,000 miles per hour.
[01:14:31]  by for launch abort system jettison.
[01:14:35]  Houston Integrity, good last jettison, great view.
[01:14:41]  Copy jettison, Team Eco 8 plus 02.
[01:14:48]  We see the same on board, Stan.
[01:14:51]  And Houston has you loud and clear on Tedris at the common line.
[01:14:59]  Outstanding, Stan, we have you the same.
[01:15:03]  Three minutes fifty seconds into the flight of Artemis II, Wiseman Glover, Cook, and Hansen crossed the boundary to space with good comm checks.
[01:15:10]  GPS signals acquired after last jettison now working on internal checks to verify accuracy.
[01:15:16]  Flight Dynamics Officer analyzed the time of main engine cutoff confirmed at 8 minutes, 2 seconds, time of MECO.
[01:15:50]  Integrity, GPS processing.
[01:15:57]  Outstanding Stan, we see the same and we have a beautiful moonrise.
[01:16:00]  We're headed right at it.
[01:16:07]  Approaching five minutes into the flight, Commander Reed Wiseman confirms he has visuals of his destination.
[01:16:13]  GPS guidance navigation and control software finishes internal checks and sends to navigation channels.
[01:16:22]  Integrity, three engine press.
[01:16:28]  Three engine press.

=== Minutes to Moonrise Glory (08:05) ===

[01:16:32]  On time, now passing five minutes twenty seconds of mission elapsed time into the Artemis II mission.
[01:16:36]  At this point, three good main engines are all that's needed to carry Integrity to a nominal main engine cutoff target.
[01:16:42]  Though at this time we're seeing four good engines here in mission control Houston.
[01:16:46]  Integrity seventy five miles in altitude, three hundred thirty miles down range, approaching ten thousand miles per hour.
[01:17:08]  Air Integrity looking good at six minutes.
[01:17:16]  Same on board, Stan.
[01:17:20]  Good trajectory and engine performance.
[01:17:22]  Booster officer will soon report the shutdown plan to Flight Director Judd Friedling, expected at the seven minute mark.
[01:17:31]  Integrity, 78 miles in altitude, 460 miles downrange.
[01:17:36]  Air Integrity, expect nominal shutdown.
[01:17:42]  Taking the copies nominal shutdown Six minutes 40 seconds of mission elapsed time.
[01:17:52]  Shutdown plan is as expected.
[01:17:55]  Again, the time of Mika was confirmed at eight minutes two seconds into the flight.
[01:18:12]  Seven minutes of mission elapse time.
[01:18:18]  Throttling down as we approach the abort once around option.
[01:18:22]  Milestone at the 7 minute 30 second mark.
[01:18:27]  Now 84 miles in altitude, 650 miles downrange, traveling more than 15,000 miles per hour.
[01:18:35]  Integrity AOA open.
[01:18:42]  AOA open.
[01:18:45]  The window is now open for an abort once around option that would target splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, still following nominal ascent at this time.
[01:19:04]  About 10 seconds remaining until the main engine cutoff of the Space Launch System core stage.
[01:19:10]  by for confirmation of MECO and core stage separation.
[01:19:32]  Integrity in nominal MECO, core stage separated.
[01:19:41]  We see the same on board, Stan.
[01:19:51]  A minute forty seconds into the flight we have a nominal main engine cutoff heading in the right trajectory on the way to swing around the moon the core stage has separated done its job the space launch system upper stage the interim cryogenic propulsion stage or ICPS still attached to the Orion spacecraft Nine minutes of mission elapsed time.
[01:20:14]  Integrity crew of Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Cook, and Jeremy Hansen now in orbit around the Earth at the beginning of their journey to the moon.
[01:20:29]  And Tarity Houston looking ahead to PRM numbers so far per the pad.
[01:20:40]  Happy that standard numbers for the pad.
[01:20:47]  Capcom Stan loves now reminding the crew that the perigee raise maneuver time of ignition is as expected prior to booster ignition.
[01:21:00]  That time being 49 minutes, 50 seconds of mission elapsed time.
[01:21:44]  Antigrity, good.
[01:21:45]  Ned's deploy.
[01:21:54]  Copy that, Stan.
[01:21:55]  Good, Neds.
[01:22:07]  And in Terry Houston for PWD SEP, just a reminder, halfway open on the secondary.
[01:22:16]  We copy that, stand halfway open.
[01:22:27]  Passing 11 minutes of mission elapsed time.
[01:22:30]  Overhearing the conversation between Capcom Stan Love and Commander Reed Wiseman, already passing some milestones, we have a good nozzle extension deployment system that is confirmed.
[01:22:42]  Complete.
[01:22:43]  We also have the visors are confirmed up now past the dynamic phase of flight that is Ascent.
[01:22:51]  Their launch and entry suits that provided them an extra layer of protection.
[01:22:59]  Now, not as needed.
[01:23:00]  They're going to raise those visors.
[01:23:05]  And later in today's mission, they will begin to egress or get out of the suits to begin some of their initial tasks of activating some of the systems aboard the Integrity spacecraft.
[01:23:21]  It's passing 12 minutes of mission elapsed time.
[01:23:23]  Again, the perigee raise maneuver that's targeted near 50 minutes of mission elapsed time, 49 minutes, 50 seconds.
[01:23:32]  That's what the crew is going to be working towards.
[01:23:34]  The Commander Reed Wiseman pilot, Victor Glover, will focus on preparing for that milestone.
[01:23:45]  In the meantime, mission specialists Christina Cook and Jeremy Hansen will start some of the activation of environmental control light support systems.
[01:23:54]  You may hear confirmation of their activation over the Orion to Earth communication network.
[01:24:05]  Houston C3 aux power back in auto.
[01:24:10]  Copy C3 aux and we're two minutes to maneuver.
[01:24:22]  Jim, this is like a 10 hour loop and it just repeats the same stuff.
[01:24:26]  It's really just dribble at this point.
[01:24:29]  Oh, Joe, it's only got a few seconds left to this segment I'm showing.
[01:24:34]  Okay.
[01:24:35]  I'm with you.
[01:24:36]  This is enough.

=== Truth Breaks the Conspiracy Loop (04:38) ===

[01:24:37]  Now, I'm willing to buy what we've seen so far, but I want your critique of the difference between the reality and the illusion.
[01:24:51]  I mean, I've done so much work on how we know we didn't go in 1960.
[01:24:56]  The Apollo mission was completely fraudulent.
[01:25:00]  But a lot of that proof is proof that we didn't land on the moon from evidence that was purported to be on the moon that involved multiple sources of light, for example, footprints in the lunar dust, which I believe because there's no atmosphere on the moon would be no more receptive to imprints than the sands of the Sahara and a host of other issues.
[01:25:26]  So when we return, I'm very keen to get your thoughts on what's real and what's fake from what we've seen so far.
[01:25:35]  And bye.
[01:27:12]  Evolution Radio, where truth breaks the spell, and information never sleeps.
[01:28:05]  Evolution Radio, every Wednesday, 8 p.m. Eastern Time, on Studio B, for Momentary Zen, with host, Zen Garcia, at FreedomSleeps.com, the people's station.
[01:28:28]  Even the government admits that 9-11 was a conspiracy.
[01:28:32]  But did you know that it was an inside job?
[01:28:35]  That Osama had nothing to do with it?
[01:28:37]  That the Twin Towers were blown apart by a sophisticated arrangement of mini or micro nukes?
[01:28:42]  That Building 7 collapsed seven hours later because of explosives planted in the building?
[01:28:47]  Barry Jennings was there.
[01:28:49]  He heard them go off and felt himself stepping over dead people.
[01:28:53]  The U.S. Geological Survey conducted studies of dust gathered from 35 locations in lower Manhattan.
[01:28:59]  and found elements that would not have been there had this not been a nuclear event.
[01:29:04]  Ironically, that means the government's own evidence contradicts the government's official position.
[01:29:09]  9-11 was brought to us compliments of the CIA, the neocons of the Department of Defense, and the Mossad.

=== The Van Allen Belt Charade (15:06) ===

[01:29:16]  Don't let yourself be played.
[01:29:18]  Read America Nuked on 9-11, available at moonrockbooks.com.

[01:30:10]  Well, while we wait for Jim, I'll provide a little bit of information on the Saturn V rocket.
[01:30:14]  This is per the schematics and telemetry data that's provided at the NASA website.
[01:30:20]  Saturn V stage one held 512,000 gallons of fuel, which carried the upper stages from Cape Kennedy to 42 miles altitude at 530 miles per hour.
[01:30:34]  Second stage held 340,000 gallons of fuel and lifted the final stage to 115,000.
[01:30:42]  Miles altitude with a speed of 15,300 miles per hour.
[01:30:46]  The third stage only held 89,000 gallons of fuel, and we still hadn't reached escape velocity to get away from Earth, which is 25,500 miles per hour.
[01:30:56]  So, bottom line is, you couldn't have done it in 1969 with what the Saturn V had in the way of available fuel.
[01:31:04]  But here's what SpaceX is going to do for their landing on the moon.
[01:31:07]  And I don't think it's much different for them circling the moon.
[01:31:10]  But, bottom line is, They're going to pre position 10 to 16 flights carrying 200 tons each of fuel.
[01:31:18]  They may be able to, that's with their V3.
[01:31:20]  With their V4, they may be able to carry 400 tons of fuel, which means they'd only have to have half that number.
[01:31:27]  So it'd only have to be five to eight flights, but eight flights, they have to pre position all that fuel in order to be able to land on the moon, get off the moon.
[01:31:35]  And the fuel that they're going to be pre positioning is liquefied natural gas.
[01:31:41]  Liquefied natural gas, it is awesome.
[01:31:44]  Liquefied natural gas, which is at minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit, and liquefied oxygen, which is at minus 297 degrees Fahrenheit.
[01:31:55]  The temperature at that portion of space is about minus 387 degrees Fahrenheit.
[01:32:02]  So you still have a little bit of temperature gain that's going to be boiling off the fuel while it's sitting there waiting to be used.
[01:32:08]  The moon's escape velocity is 5,300 miles per hour.
[01:32:12]  The radius Of the moon is one quarter of the radius of the Earth, which means when you're looking out from the moon, it should be the Earth should be four times bigger than what the moon appears to be on Earth.
[01:32:22]  So you have that little bit of a problem.
[01:32:25]  Bottom line is, and this is from a site called Alpha Tech, the SpaceX information.
[01:32:30]  I will go ahead and put the link to that.
[01:32:32]  And then also, after I wrote my article, Perplexing Apollo Questions for NASA, which was based on the schematic which was discussed on Coast to Coast AM one night back in 2018, I posted it at Our article called Perplexing Questions, Apollo Questions for NASA at Principia Scientific.
[01:32:53]  And then because we were interviewing Bart Sabrell, we interviewed him twice.
[01:32:56]  We went ahead and reposted it on the 22nd at Principia.
[01:33:00]  And we discussed it, like I said, with Bart Sabrell, two hours each at TNT Radio in two different interviews.
[01:33:07]  So, yeah, bottom line is there's so much bullshit.
[01:33:11]  If you want to know what really happened, you ought to watch the Sony comedy that was produced last summer that was called Fly Me to the Moon.
[01:33:18]  With Charlotte Johansson.
[01:33:20]  And it's really great because it shows that it would be far easier to have Stanley Kubrick make your moon movies than to have the Apollo astronauts make them.
[01:33:30]  Hey, I got two reports, including the trailer for Fly Me to the Moon.
[01:33:36]  NASA commander confesses humans have never been to the moon.
[01:33:40]  Artemis II crew commander Reed Weissman just dropped the ultimate red pill.
[01:33:47]  He said it loud and clear.
[01:33:49]  This is the first time we're sending humans to the moon.
[01:33:54]  His exact words.
[01:33:56]  No, since Apollo, no, in over 50 years, just first time.
[01:34:01]  Full stop.
[01:34:03]  Think about that.
[01:34:05]  I've spent decades pushing the Apollo landings as undisputed history with shaky footage, impossible shadows, conveniently lost data tapes, and 2026 with God-tiered tech.
[01:34:21]  They treat a simple lunar flyby like it's mankind's virgin voyage beyond low Earth orbit because it is or would be.
[01:34:33]  They told us we meet the Soviets with 1960 computers in tinfoil suits that somehow survived the deadly radiation belts.
[01:34:40]  Yet today, AI Artemis II has a real deal because humans have never been to the moon before.
[01:34:47]  What did Wiseman really mean, accident or confession?
[01:34:51]  Confession, the rabbit hole just got deeper.
[01:34:54]  And the sea of tranquility, the greatest space lie in history, is collapsing in real time.
[01:35:03]  Not just in history, in my opinion, this is the greatest stoics ever perpetrated on mankind.
[01:35:08]  Here he is.
[01:35:09]  It might land wrong, but I'm going to try anyway.
[01:35:14]  This is the first time we're going to send humans to the moon and we're going to have humans in low Earth orbit.
[01:35:17]  That is awesome.
[01:35:18]  Like, we should, as humanity, we should take a brief moment to go, that's awesome.
[01:35:23]  One of the things that we most asked for and look forward to is we are going to do a crew conference between Integrity and the International Space Station, the crew that's up there.
[01:35:33]  And it might hit, it might land wrong, but I'm going to try anyway.
[01:35:38]  This is the first time we're going to send humans to the moon and we're going to have humans in low Earth orbit.
[01:35:42]  That is awesome.
[01:35:43]  Like, we should, as humanity, we should take a brief moment to go, that's awesome.
[01:35:48]  One of the things that we most asked for and look forward to is we are going to do a crew conference between Integrity and the International Space Station, the crew that's up there.
[01:35:59]  It might land wrong.
[01:36:01]  Joe, tell me about this business with the International Space Station.
[01:36:07]  How does that figure into what I take you're explaining to be a scam?
[01:36:11]  Because they don't even have the fuel to accomplish the feats they're claiming to have already accomplished.
[01:36:18]  Yeah, International Space Station operates between 200 and 400 miles altitude above the Earth, and that's inside the Van Allen belt.
[01:36:26]  So the magnetosphere comes out of both of the poles and it covers the Earth with a protective layer that keeps cosmic and solar rays from frying us on Earth.
[01:36:35]  Otherwise, we'd be dead.
[01:36:36]  And that's the belt.
[01:36:37]  It concentrates that because it's deflecting it, it concentrates it around those magnetic fields.
[01:36:42]  And that's the belt that you have to fly to to get out to space.
[01:36:46]  But then once you get to the moon, you're still subjected to cosmic and solar rays that are unfiltered by anything.
[01:36:52]  And those are highly deadly over even a short period of time.
[01:36:56]  And then you have the temperature things that we discussed in our hour long conspiracy theory program.
[01:37:06]  I will put that link in the show notes today.
[01:37:08]  But I want to mention a couple of other things.
[01:37:10]  The Wright brothers' first plight was on December 17, 1903.
[01:37:15]  On October 14, 1947, less than 44 years later, Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier.
[01:37:23]  In the Bell X 1 rocket plane.
[01:37:26]  That means that we went from the very first flight with a kite to breaking the sound barrier in less than 44 years.
[01:37:34]  And we did that all with a slide rule.
[01:37:36]  There was no calculators or computers involved at all.
[01:37:40]  So that's what previous technology had brought us to.
[01:37:44]  The Bell program went on to produce the X 15, which reached an altitude of 67,000 miles on August 22nd, 1962.
[01:37:55]  And in 1967, it reached a speed of Mach 6.7, the highest human flight, unassisted from a rocket that was still within the atmosphere.
[01:38:06]  So that's a pretty interesting little bit of information.
[01:38:10]  As far as, well, they're planning on taking the Artemis up and docking at the space station.
[01:38:17]  And I'm surmising that they've got a mock up or they've got an extra capsule there at the space station that they've sent up before because Musk is always sending stuff up there.
[01:38:27]  And so they'll get in there, and that will be their stage where they'll do the production.
[01:38:32]  And that way they can send the capsule to the moon.
[01:38:35]  If it doesn't properly circle the moon, they can still fake it and then say, Well, we've just circled the moon using whatever telemetry that sends back.
[01:38:44]  And then they'll be able to lose that rocket somewhere in space and come back to the space station and say, well, now we've got the rocket to bring them back to Earth and they'll be these great heroes.
[01:38:54]  So I think that they're stationed above the Earth the same way every one of the Apollo astronauts was in low Earth orbit, safely inside the Van Allen Belt.
[01:39:05]  Yeah, and when you say safely inside the Van Allen Belt, I'm puzzled by that, Joe.
[01:39:10]  Tell me, I've always felt the Van Allen Belt was an impenetrable barrier.
[01:39:14]  Because you need five or six feet of lead to protect the astronauts, creating too great a density and mass to even escape low Earth orbit or even ground surface launch.
[01:39:26]  So, tell me more about how the space station can be inside the Van Allen belt.
[01:39:33]  Well, Van Allen belt produces a halo around the Earth that's like the bottom of that Van Allen belt on the solar side is compressed probably 200 miles away from the surface of the Earth, but on the uh Polar ends and the non solar facing side, it's probably 400 miles.
[01:39:51]  So that means that as long as you're circulating inside that protected envelope, you don't have a problem with over amounts of solar radiation unless there's a solar flare.
[01:40:03]  And when you have a solar flare, those send you extreme high rates of X rays.
[01:40:07]  And that means that they need to position the space station behind the Earth so that the Earth protects them from direct blasts of those because some of those are not affected by the Van Allen belt.
[01:40:18]  But Or are the magnetosphere, but bottom line is, yeah, it's a real dangerous environment up there.
[01:40:25]  Well, let's take a look at Fly Me to the Moon.
[01:40:31]  Here's the trailer, Joe.
[01:40:33]  Love it.
[01:40:38]  Hey, Joe, eating cold, miss.
[01:40:42]  You're on fire, very original.
[01:40:44]  No, I do not want to stop, rock, and roll with you.
[01:40:46]  No, your book is on fire.
[01:40:51]  Oh, my god, alcohol and flames.
[01:40:53]  They like each other.
[01:40:54]  Cole Davis.
[01:40:55]  Kelly Jones.
[01:41:00]  Public support for the moon mission is rock bottom.
[01:41:04]  Every day, something is breaking.
[01:41:07]  And we're dead.
[01:41:08]  Again.
[01:41:09]  We're blowing up.
[01:41:11]  The space program is a bloated mess.
[01:41:15]  NASA needs a marketing specialist, and you are the very best.
[01:41:19]  Excuse me?
[01:41:20]  What are you doing here?
[01:41:21]  I tracked you down because I felt we had a connection.
[01:41:23]  What?
[01:41:24]  I'm joking.
[01:41:24]  I work here now to sell the moon.
[01:41:28]  NASA's not something that you sell with a jingle and a slogan.
[01:41:32]  When I'm done, those men are going to be bigger than the Beatles.
[01:41:36]  Who is that?
[01:41:37]  For me, this is the very first.
[01:41:38]  He's got my name.
[01:41:39]  You told me that your guys don't do interviews, so I had to hire new guys.
[01:41:42]  I'm here for the casting.
[01:41:43]  Who's he?
[01:41:44]  You.
[01:41:44]  You're at Juicy Park.
[01:41:46]  60 missions in Korea.
[01:41:47]  I flew 52 missions in Korea.
[01:41:49]  I flew 52 missions in Korea.
[01:41:52]  How's that?
[01:41:54]  What?
[01:41:56]  The whole world will be watching.
[01:41:58]  We can't afford to lose to the Russians.
[01:42:03]  We need to shoot the backup version of the moon landing.
[01:42:09]  You mean to fake it?
[01:42:12]  No one can ever know what we're doing.
[01:42:15]  I cannot accept that.
[01:42:16]  They will shoot you.
[01:42:18]  What is my budget?
[01:42:18]  Oh, boy.
[01:42:21]  I know a lot more about the moon than I know about you.
[01:42:26]  Give me go, no go for launch.
[01:42:29]  If you fake this mission, every single thing that we have sacrificed. advice will have been for nothing.
[01:42:35]  You know you couldn't have made it to the sea without me.
[01:42:52]  Mighty little bitch, we have to recast.
[01:42:57]  I think we should have gotten Cooper.
[01:43:02]  Mighty little bitch, we'll have to recast.
[01:43:05]  Joe, that's hilarious.
[01:43:07]  Oh, you should watch the movie.
[01:43:10]  Yeah, I haven't seen a half dozen Hollywood production movies in the last 30 years.
[01:43:15]  But when I saw the trailer to that one, I thought, man, this has got to be great.
[01:43:19]  And it starts off with that T Rex song, Bang a Gong.
[01:43:22]  And the whole thing is loaded with 60s hits.
[01:43:25]  I mean, just the soundtrack, you'll be sitting there rocking the whole time.
[01:43:29]  And the whole audience, when I saw it at the theater, was like rocking.
[01:43:32]  It was like I went senior day on Sunday and it cost me six bucks to see it.
[01:43:37]  I was in stitches.
[01:43:38]  It's really funny.
[01:43:39]  It's well done comedy by Sony Pictures.
[01:43:42]  And it shows that you can do a parody of something that's supposed to be the greatest scientific achievement in the world.
[01:43:47]  That's probably more accurate than the greatest scientific achievement in the world.
[01:43:51]  Yeah, I like it.
[01:43:54]  I liked it a lot.
[01:43:56]  Tried to find it online.
[01:43:57]  We couldn't find it.
[01:43:58]  I'm going to pick it up, I think, from Amazon.com.
[01:44:01]  You know, it just looks too damn good, Joe.
[01:44:04]  Oh, that's hilarious.
[01:44:05]  You'll be laughing.
[01:44:06]  You'll watch it twice.
[01:44:09]  I want you to reiterate a summary of what's going on here that this is an elaborate charade, very parallel to what happened in '69, but more sophisticated in several respects.

=== Gravity, Farce, and JFK Parody (09:21) ===

[01:44:22]  Please.
[01:44:23]  Well, just like we mentioned in '69, uh, Nixon had the problem in 68 of the assassination of RFK and MLK.
[01:44:31]  And so then he also had the Vietnam War with protests going absolutely everywhere.
[01:44:36]  So he needed something that would be a big distraction.
[01:44:38]  What better distraction than to fulfill RFK's lost promise from 1961 when he said we will land a man on the moon in this decade?
[01:44:46]  So he said we got a JFK, JFK.
[01:44:49]  Excuse me, JFK.
[01:44:51]  Okay.
[01:44:51]  JFK's promise to land a man on the moon in this decade.
[01:44:57]  Because we can.
[01:44:57]  And so we didn't have the capability of doing it, like I previously mentioned with the information on the Saturn V rocket.
[01:45:05]  So they faked it, but and they probably had Kubrick film it.
[01:45:11]  And he's the one that did the Space Odyssey 2001.
[01:45:15]  So he was certainly qualified to do that.
[01:45:18]  But then he also ended up spending a lifelong research into secret societies.
[01:45:23]  And when he did Eyes Wide Shut, He was ended up being snuffed just a couple of days later by the demonic group that actually runs this whole puppet show planet that we live on.
[01:45:36]  Yes, yes, yes.
[01:45:38]  And the greatest proofs, what's going on right now with Artemis 2 is fraudulent are.
[01:45:48]  Well, they didn't send any extra fuel.
[01:45:50]  And like I mentioned, the escape velocity for the moon is 5,300 miles per hour.
[01:45:54]  So once you get into the moon's gravity, you have to be able to escape their gravity.
[01:45:58]  You can't do that just strictly with a slingshot.
[01:46:01]  And then I have real questions about the ability to do life support systems because it takes a lot of oxygen, a lot of water.
[01:46:10]  They've been up in the space station refining those capabilities, but those are large scale items that, in order to have four people on a capsule, you have an enormous amount of problem.
[01:46:22]  NASA has never landed on the moon and returned a robot from the moon.
[01:46:27]  The Chinese did it for the first time in December of 2022.
[01:46:31]  They brought back two kilos of lunar samples, that's 4.4 pounds.
[01:46:37]  The Russians supposedly did it with their surveyor program back in the.
[01:46:43]  In the 1960s, late 60s, and brought back another kilo of lunar dust.
[01:46:50]  So, bottom line is, you'd have more poop than that in the diapers that you don't want to dispose of anywhere in space because they're loaded with bacteria.
[01:47:00]  The urine they can inject out of the side of the plane or they can recycle it for drinking water, which is what they do.
[01:47:06]  So, bottom line is, yeah, the whole thing is absolutely preposterous.
[01:47:12]  We are not capable.
[01:47:14]  Of having any kind of sustained life form because, like we mentioned, the temperature on the moon, and there again, I go into detail with that in the interview that we did.
[01:47:25]  The lunar surface temperature varies from minus, I've got the exact numbers, minus 315 degrees Fahrenheit to 260 degrees plus Fahrenheit in less than a six hour period because the moon is in geosynchronous orbit with the Earth and so it faces the sun.
[01:47:47]  For 14 Earth days, and then it's facing the Earth for the next 14 days.
[01:47:51]  So their day and night is a real quick shift.
[01:47:54]  There's no way you had time.
[01:47:55]  And that's the equatorial temperature.
[01:47:57]  The solar polar temperatures are even colder than that.
[01:48:00]  And so, bottom line is, you have absolutely no ability to have any amount of dwell time on the surface of them.
[01:48:07]  Number one.
[01:48:08]  And number two, it's a really hostile environment.
[01:48:11]  It takes enormous, like we mentioned previous, Musk is saying he's going to have to place.
[01:48:18]  1200 tons minimum of fuel at what's called the Lagrange point, the equal gravity point between Earth and Moon, which is about 40,000 miles from the Moon surface and 200,000 miles from Earth's surface because of the difference in gravity being one sixth.
[01:48:35]  Can he do that?
[01:48:36]  Can he do that?
[01:48:38]  Well, that's what he's proposing.
[01:48:40]  And that's what Artemis filmed.
[01:48:43]  And I'll put a link to this one with SpaceX Refueling.
[01:48:47]  They're going to put up separate liquid oxygen and methane transfer vessels that are going to have ports that plug into the landers.
[01:49:00]  And then they'll be able to come in and refill just like they refill jet airplanes as you're flying along.
[01:49:07]  So, bottom line is, it's all sketchy.
[01:49:10]  And all it takes is one mode of failure.
[01:49:13]  And next thing you know, you're completely out of the woods because there's no room for error up there.
[01:49:20]  Gus Grissom had a lemon hanging over his desk at NASA because he thought the whole project was ill fated.
[01:49:27]  They, of course, snuffed him in a contrived accident with two other astronauts because they were skeptics about the program and they wanted to silence them.
[01:49:39]  Which sounds to me, you know, once again, we're talking about a situation where hundreds of previously untested.
[01:49:47]  Systems and operations have to work flawlessly for this to be a success.
[01:49:52]  There's just no way it's going to happen, Joe.
[01:49:55]  And that's if you don't count the little micro meteorites that are floating out in space and all the space debris you got to fly through to get out past Earth's magnetosphere.
[01:50:06]  So, bottom line is, yeah, you got a really littered environment, and all it takes is one micro meteor to hit one of those tanks.
[01:50:15]  And next thing you know, you've lost every bit of that fuel because if you don't have the oxygen or you don't have the methane, Then you don't, if you don't have both of them, you don't have the fuel that it takes to do anything with.
[01:50:25]  So, bottom line is they're blowing smoke up your butt.
[01:50:30]  And it's the same thing that Nixon was trying to do some kind of magic thing that makes us the greatest scientists in the whole world and the leader in technology worldwide.
[01:50:40]  And we've been floating down the river on this thing for 50 years.
[01:50:44]  It looks like we've reached the apex of our ability to fool the planet.
[01:50:50]  And certainly, What's happened in Ukraine and Iran is exposing what's left of our mythology.
[01:51:01]  And the timing, Trump is a master media manipulator and marketeer.
[01:51:11]  So the timing has to be to offset all the terrible news from Iran, don't you anticipate, Joe?
[01:51:21]  I mean, how do you know it's like this Artemis came out of nowhere?
[01:51:25]  I mean, it takes all this years and years of preparation testing.
[01:51:30]  That's why, you know, as the Fly me to the moon was showing we had one failure after another.
[01:51:36]  None of the systems were working properly.
[01:51:39]  We couldn't get the moon lander to work right here on Earth where the gravity is so much stronger that it ought to be easier to control.
[01:51:46]  Joe, the whole thing looks like a farce, a farce.
[01:51:50]  Yes, it certainly is.
[01:51:52]  Yeah, and you don't have any blast of the dust underneath the lander on the moon, but you certainly have a footprint from a boot on the moon.
[01:51:59]  So, there again, yeah, you can't with no atmosphere, there's no way of slowing down.
[01:52:06]  An object approaching the moon, other than retro rockets.
[01:52:10]  And when you come back to Earth, you're going to be accelerating at the.
[01:52:16]  Earth's escape velocity coming back.
[01:52:18]  And so I've got it here written here somewhere 200,000 miles.
[01:52:25]  Anyhow, yeah, bottom line is the speed coming back to Earth would be an additional 24,000 miles per hour.
[01:52:33]  So you can't throw out a parachute at that speed and slow your capsule down.
[01:52:38]  You can't skim across the atmosphere long enough to bleed off the necessary speed in order to be able to safely.
[01:52:47]  Land with parachutes.
[01:52:48]  So that means you have to have retro rockets to slow you down before you re enter.
[01:52:52]  So, bottom line is the whole thing's absolutely half baked.
[01:52:56]  And I can appreciate that they are making bigger rockets and they're making them down at Boca Chica near South Padre Island in Texas.
[01:53:06]  And so, you know, I may get the chance to drive down there and watch one of those things take off from SpaceX headquarters.
[01:53:13]  And, you know, that would be nice, but I just don't have any confidence that this is what we're seeing.
[01:53:19]  But once we get some more telemetry, This time next week, they'll be showing us inside of the cockpit stuff.
[01:53:24]  We'll have some more things that we can analyze and criticize.
[01:53:28]  About 10 years ago, NASA put out a plea to the public to help with their space poop problem because the space divers they had were only good for 14 hours.
[01:53:38]  And I observed, well, these Apollo missions were seven or eight days.

=== Regime Change Without a Plan (02:15) ===

[01:53:43]  So what happened after the 14 hours?
[01:53:46]  You know, I mean, the whole thing was nothing but a giant pile of space poop.
[01:53:50]  And we have this, and now we got four astronauts that are pooping.
[01:53:55]  I mean, give me a break, Jack.
[01:53:57]  Joe, this is just a joke.
[01:54:00]  It's a joke.
[01:54:01]  And I saw the Apollo capsule at the Smithsonian Space and Air Museum in Washington, D.C.
[01:54:10]  It's the size of a minivan, and you had three guys hopping around with suitcases on their backs inside that minivan for two weeks.
[01:54:17]  Give me a freaking break.
[01:54:20]  Joe, thank you for your expert commentary.
[01:54:23]  I knew you were the guy to nail it down.
[01:54:28]  What else do we have?
[01:54:30]  Here's Sage AI tells a truth that Trump and others are war pigs.
[01:54:40]  Let's check this out.
[01:54:42]  Certainly sounds right to me war pig indeed.
[01:54:47]  So, what do you think about Donald Trump bombing Iran?
[01:54:53]  Do you think he's really going to do them a favor?
[01:54:57]  Do you think it's really coming from a good place?
[01:55:00]  What do you reckon?
[01:55:20]  Short answer, no, I don't think this is doing them a favor, and no, I don't think it's coming from a clean place.
[01:55:27]  From what we can actually see, Trump himself has said the goal is massive and ongoing attacks aimed at regime change in Iran, and has called on Iranians to take over your government after the bombing stops.
[01:55:40]  Strikes have already killed hundreds and injured many more across the country, including a reported hit on a girl's school in southern Iran.
[01:55:48]  There is no clear day after plan.
[01:55:50]  Even mainstream analysts are literally calling it a regime change.

=== God Willing We Return Wednesday (00:37) ===
