Jim Fetzer hosts the "Fearsome Threesome" edition with Joachim Hagopian and Russ Winter, dissecting Russia's Poseidon torpedo, EU corruption funding Ukraine, and Zhang Xueqin's prediction of a U.S.-Iran war driven by Saudi interests and Israel's "Greater Israel Project." Guests analyze Trump's "dark triad" personality risks in China meetings, the strategic leverage of the Strait of Malacca, and Netanyahu's alleged bot farm propaganda. The episode concludes by critiquing AI-driven ecocide, Louisiana gerrymandering rulings, and the dangers of sacrificing American economic stability for non-existent nuclear threats.

New Drone Regime Emerges00:14:36
Somebody is not just anybody.
You know, I need someone.
When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never knew anybody's help in any way.
Now, these days are gone, I'm not so self assured.
I'm not going to change my mind.
I'm opening up the doors.
Don't be if you can, I'm feeling down.
This is Jim Fetzer, your host on The Raw Deal, right here on Revolution Radio Studio B, this 13th day of May 2026.
Joined by Russ Winter and Joaquin Egovian for another fearsome, threesome edition.
We begin with a couple of stories related to Russia and Ukraine.
Putin has Said Russian troops face NATO backed force during a Victory Day celebration in Moscow.
Pakistan Today reporting Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday Russian forces flying Ukraine were confined in aggressive force backed by the entire NATO alliance, using his address at the annual Victory Day parade in Red Square to defend Moscow's war aims.
Putin has long placed the Soviet Union victory over Nazi Germany in World War II at the center of his.
Political narrative.
And the May night paraded typical, staged with elaborate ceremony.
This year's event, however, was reduced in scale after a series of recent long range Ukrainian attacks prompted the Kremlin to tighten security arrangements.
Yes, it would have been bad to have Ukraine attacking a massive parade in Moscow.
Meanwhile, European leaders.
Aren't blind to Kiev corruption.
They're partners in a massive extortion racket.
Of course, Strategic Ultra Reporting.
There was more evidence a week of the Kiev regime's endemic corruption, and yet the European Union leaders are lining up to send a massive 90 billion euros to the regime, which has become a byword for industrial scale scamming.
The EU has already pumped about 200 billion euros into propping up the Ukrainian regime in Feb 2022 when the NATO proxy war with Russia escalated.
Most of the latest money will be used as military aid to invest in Ukrainian manufacturers of drones and missiles.
One of the most prominent of these Ukrainian firms, Firepoint, is linked to the regime's so called president, Vladimir Zelensky.
No doubt.
Meanwhile, Russia's new torpedo side huts for holes in American defensive practices.
As Russia moves closer to deploying the Poissyta nuclear torpedo aboard its dedicated Kakaros carrier submarine, the weapon is increasingly emerging as a test of deterrence.
Arms control and undersea warfare.
This month, Naval News reported Russia is advancing the development of the Poseidon strategic underwater weapon by constructing the Kalorkov, a purpose-built nuclear-powered submarine now undergoing fitting out in Seversnik in the Russian Arctic,
some according to newly emerging details pieced together from satellite imagery and open-source analyses.
Joaquin, your thoughts, my friend, about these reports vis a vis Russia Ukraine.
Yeah.
Well, it's no surprise that European leaders are traitors to their own people, not even considering the fact that if there's a war with Russia, lots of their citizens are going to die.
You know, we have such rotten leaders.
They're all controlled by the city of London that makes these wars.
And they back both sides to all the wars, they've been doing it for centuries, you know.
And I'm so sick of it, they're getting worse and worse.
They're all suicidal.
It's like they want their countries to fail.
I mean, there's no other explanation because it's white and black.
As far as if you go head to head against Russia, which is probably the most powerful military in the world, they've been proving it, uh, even though they go slow go against Ukraine, they could have.
Had it over a long time ago.
But they are probably the most powerful.
And the second most powerful now is China.
So, what does the West do?
They want to oppose these powerful nations that are the most powerful militaries.
It's just unbelievable that these leaders, so called leaders, they're all puppets and they're groomed basically.
They're probably pedophiles and they're basically held as gatekeepers to toe the line for suicide missions.
In their countries.
I mean, I think it's so rampant that we have these rotten, you know, traitors now in all the countries as the gatekeepers that are gung ho for racing the war against Russia, China, and Iran and North Korea.
Russ, your thoughts.
Joachim, your sound's a little bit low.
You're a little bit low on your tone and sound.
Okay.
All right.
You know, it kind of seems like drone warfare is just changing everything.
And we're seeing that with Iran.
We're seeing that in Lebanon.
And Lebanon has been very, very effective with drones.
And it's making offensive warfare really difficult.
And I think that's maybe the problem the Russians are running into with the Ukrainians, because the Ukrainians apparently have developed a whole new regime or class of drones that are really effective.
And if I can digress just a little bit, this may seem a little strange to mention this, but.
Last Sunday, actually, last Saturday, yeah, Sunday last week, when I was visiting the D.C. area, my son, my son's family, we took a drive on bypass 495, bypasses Washington, D.C., and goes out to pass the Dulles exit to Tyson's Corner, to McLean, to some army bases out there.
And we're just driving along, and I'm just kind of spotting along this bypass.
There's like 10 overpasses, bridge overpasses on this I 49.
And I was just saying to my son, you know, all you have to do is just back a truck up over here and unload a few little drones and just drive down this highway on a Sunday morning like we are now.
There's no protection and just take out the mid.
Columns of these bridges, and it would just collapse 10 bypass bridges, overpass bridges onto the freeway, and it would freeze up all this area where the contractors work, where Langley is, where the Dallas airport are.
They would take them weeks to clear that out of there.
And so that's probably what Russia will do in return to Ukraine and possibly even Europe.
So I'm almost kind of predicting, just through my own personal experience of driving down that bypass, how vulnerable.
All these countries are to this type of warfare.
We pull off, go into Mount Vernon, see the George Washington complex.
They had an American Revolution reproduction out there or recreation.
And we drive by, I counted 16 fuel tanks just right by the road that we're driving on.
There's no security there.
You know, you could have a Sicario crew come up with an RPG or some kind of something like that and just take all 16 of these tanks up, and it would take a week to bail out of that one.
So I just saw so much on a little drive, and I'm sure everybody that lives in America sees it.
It was really pretty profound when you're kind of going to a critical area of the United States and Washington, D.C., and how that whole region is configured because everything's centralized.
All these offices are centralized, all these bases are centralized.
The whole Transportation corridor is very linear, distant observation.
Oh, I think that's totally appropriate.
America has been lulled into a false sense of security historically because we have the Pacific on one side, the Atlantic on the other.
And apart from 9 11, which was an Israeli opt to drop us into the Middle East, which has proven catastrophic for America, we have left ourselves highly vulnerable.
A single EMP.
Over the US taking out the electrical grid, Russ is going to destroy America.
We're going to lose 70% of our population.
Yeah, or even these little drones.
These little drones are not, they're hard to detect.
Yeah.
Oh, you're absolutely right.
I do agree, Joachim.
I'm sure you also concur.
Yeah.
They have those one person drones now that hone in precision wise on their targets.
And they're little things, but they do horrific damage.
I mean, they can wipe out a platoon, basically.
So, yeah, they're very active now, and they're causing, they're wreaking havoc now, even in Russia.
You know, that's why the Russians are trying to speed up this war to end it, just because they're reaching very critical infrastructure in Russia, not to mention civilian population, which the Ukrainians, just like the Israelis, don't have any care whatsoever.
For the civilian population.
But yeah, they're seeing more and more damage.
So yeah.
And Americans, I think, very complacent in this whole regard as well.
Just imagine if one of those massive military formations in Red Square had been hit with drones.
I mean, it would have been a catastrophe, embarrassing.
Yeah, it could happen.
It could have happened.
So I totally get it.
And just the drive down that highway that day just really blew my mind.
I said, my God, look at all the targets, easy, soft targets here.
Now, the wonderful Chinese professor, he's got a new report now.
We're going to look at one.
He's saying we've reached a point of no return, that the U.S. is proving to be inept, that we now have four different theaters of warfare that are operating basically.
Independently of one another.
And that, of course, would be Lebanon, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the U.S., Israel, and Iran, and then Ukraine.
But they're all operating independently.
There's no centrality.
The boundaries of the war have basically evaporated.
And we're on the path of what Joaquin has been advising ever since.
Here's he's actually saying we're already in World War III.
Welcome back.
We are joined today by Zhang Xueqin, who is very renowned for making accurate predictions.
Some of them have been the reelection of Trump, Vance as his pick for vice president, and very relevant for today, also predicting that the U.S. would go to war with Iran.
Now, the war with Iran, I thought, was a very interesting prediction of yours because on so many levels, it doesn't Make a lot of sense that the US would do this because it seems to be such a huge mess.
It's very difficult to defeat the Iranians militarily, and there's no good way for them to, you know, declare victory and go home.
So I thought a good place to start would be yeah, ask you why.
How did you see or why did you correctly predict that the United States would attack Iran?
Right.
So, um, I believe that the best evidence that the United States would eventually attack Iran is that in January 2020, Trump ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, who was the Iranian envoy to the Middle East.
He was basically the Iranian ambassador to the proxies, right?
Hezbollah, the Shia militias in Iraq, the Houthis.
So, killing an ambassador is basically a declaration of war.
So, I felt that if Trump had won re election in 2020, then he would most certainly.
Went to war against Iran.
And I didn't know why he wanted to go to war against Iran.
I had many hypotheses, but I was pretty certain that if he had one reduction, then he would have declared war against Iran.
GCC Nations Suffer War Losses00:11:32
Yeah.
And how do you see this war now developing, though?
Because, you know, if you would assess it, one of the things that makes it complicated is that it's so many actors involved with their different interests.
Of course, at the heart of it, one can say it's the U.S. Iranian war, which is often referred to, but of course, Israel is a key participant.
The Iranians have several close regional allies, and of course, you have the great powers of Russia and China.
So, how do you see this war playing out?
Right.
So, I think in the first month of this war, the United States was focused on decapitation, basically trying to kill as much of the Iranian leadership as possible, hoping that that would force a political settlement where the Iranians would surrender and the Americans.
Can basically enforce regime change.
The Iranians have proven to be much more resilient, much more creative, much more resourceful than Americans gave them credit for.
And so now the Americans have moved to phase two of the war, which is essentially a war of attrition, economic strangulation, where they're trying to destroy Iran's capacity to finance this war, mainly by destroying Iran's capacity to export oil to China, as well as to control the ship of Hormuz.
That's where Trump has declared a naval blockade.
Against the Shirvah Homus.
And so I think that this is where the war is going to go.
It's going to be a slow war that's going to be out of the headlines.
Very much like what happened in Gaza, really, where maybe for the first few weeks, the entire world was disgusted by what the Israelis were doing, but they declared a ceasefire and then slowly the attention of the world shifted elsewhere.
And that's what Trump's, I think, intends to do with Iran, where he's going to try to apply as much military, diplomatic, Political and economic pressures as possible to force local settlement and trying to divert people's attention away from the war.
Quite honestly, I don't think there is an off ramp for Trump because the consequences of this war are just so vast.
So, for example, if you look at the GCC nations, the UAE has suffered a great deal in this war.
They cannot afford for Iran to emerge the victor in this war and to control the sort of humus.
So, the UAE is essentially all in.
In defeating Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iran have a rivalry going back decades where both are vying for supremacy in the Islamic world.
And so Saudi Arabia sees Iran as a long term threat as well.
So even though Saudi Arabia has been trying to promote a diplomatic solution, their best interest is to also see a defeated Iran.
Iran is right now under a lot of threat because most of the population is Shia Muslim and their leadership is Sunni.
And their leadership is not very popular there.
And Iranians are very much intent on promoting revolutions across the Islamic world.
So, these three nations Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iran possibly also Kuwait as well they want to see this war fought to the end.
The Iranians don't want to go back to the status quo where they were sanctioned.
They now have control of the Strait of Hormuz.
They want economic relief.
They see the Strait of Hormuz as their main leverage point against the Americans.
So, they also want to see this war fought to the end.
The Americans are stuck because of the petrodollar.
Where if they leave, basically, these GCC nations would start trading in multiple currencies, including Chinese yen, including in gold.
And so this would collapse the American economy because they're so dependent on investment from the GCC nations.
The GCC has trillions invested in America, and they're forced to repatriate these trillions back into the GCC in order to pay reparations to the Iranians.
Then this would spell catastrophe.
For the American economy, especially the AI sector.
Israel is intent on the Greater Israel Project, and they see this as an opportunity to redraw the map of the Middle East in order to achieve the Greater Israel Project.
Israel wants this war to continue for as long as possible because they believe that the Arabs and Iranians would destroy each other in the process.
And when the smoke clears, they would have achieved the Greater Israel Project.
So essentially, in the Middle East, there are too many powerful individuals who want to see this war fought to the end, and no one can really countenance a defeat.
This is so good.
He is so good.
Here's another Alistair Crook, also excellent.
Let's go into that a little bit, Jim.
Yeah.
Well, sure, we can go ahead and do it now before we go further.
Go right ahead, Ross.
Yeah.
I'm going to refer everybody to an interview that I heard with one of the top energy and commodity analysts.
His name is Jeffrey Curry.
I listened to that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's good.
He's very good.
If you listen to him carefully, he's basically signaling that the big problems going forward, he says, even if this war were to end today, yes.
The die has been cast.
There's going to be huge economic problems just week after week after week, you know, running out of gasoline in the U.S. by the 4th of July.
The whole time I was in the U.S., I just, you know, I got there, it was four bucks.
I left, it was four and a half bucks.
That's within three weeks.
That's pretty rapid acceleration.
And he's describing much, much worse.
Yeah.
All the stuff about the sulfur, the fertilizer, this asymmetric, this, This type of warfare that Trump's trying to pull off to try to quote unquote pressure Iran into surrender is going to be the opposite result.
It's going to be catastrophic, particularly for Europe.
I mean, I'm just getting ready to batten down here, man.
And I don't think I'm going to even be able to leave my apartment for the rest of this year.
Nobody's going to be able to fly.
When I was in Washington, D.C., I was amazed at already how poor the tourist traffic was there.
We went down to the Smithsonian, we went by the White House.
And we're walking around one of the neighborhoods on G Street near the White House, and all the it's like prime retail space that's vacant.
No tourists around on a really nice day.
Something's going on out there already.
Yes.
And it's all being manipulated by the stock market.
This Axiom guy putting out all this fake news all the time to try to manipulate the stock market to hide this stuff.
Yeah.
Joaquin.
Yeah, it's real obvious that the domino effect is in swing right now.
Obviously, we've seen the gasoline prices go up, but it's going to impact everything.
I mean, first of all, petroleum products are comprising everything you buy, pretty much.
And without them, not to mention the urea that's used in fertilizer, That grows the food that we need.
I mean, there are so many reasons why it's going to be a stack of dominoes that are falling worldwide.
It's global now.
And even if the war ended today, there would be major repercussions that I'm talking about.
They're not avoidable at this point, even if it ends today.
And obviously, the longer it goes on, and this is the war, apparently, you know, Washington is figuring, Trump is figuring that, you know, he can outlast the Iranians.
He cannot.
It's not going to happen.
Yes, they will take a very high death toll of Iranians, but they do have 90 plus million Iranians.
You know, it's one kind of cynical way of looking at it.
They will lose a sizable portion with those airstrikes constant.
But here's the thing if they run out of jet fuel, what are the planes going to operate on, you know?
And then, you know, they have.
So few weapons, you know?
They've already given them away to Ukraine.
They've wasted them on that lost war.
So it's like there's no way that the United States is going to be able to outlast Iran.
It's not going to happen.
And so, and they got the election coming up.
So it's like there's the pressure on Trump to end this and at least, you know, pretend that he's like the hero just in time for the November election so they don't get their ass completely thrown out.
They can't keep papering this over.
They can't keep papering this over.
If they continue on, you know, continue on with this economic pressure.
They can't paper it over.
It's just going to collapse on itself.
It's just a ridiculous approach to everything.
You can see it with your own eyes.
I mean, I really had my eyes open when I went back to the United States because I was kind of looking for signs.
Excellent.
That's so good, Russ.
So good.
And of course, now he's in China.
I think ZAIA is going to drop the hammer on Trump and say, this has got to end.
This has got to end because we need China more than China needs us.
I mean, American consumers buy vast, but.
70, 80% of their products come from China.
Well, yeah.
And Jeffrey Curry also got into the critical metal stuff that China has total control over.
And, you know, he was kind of commenting that apparently there's this myth that all of a sudden overnight critical metals can be provided and developed in the United States, which he really shot down.
Yeah, no, he's good.
He is very, very good.
Well, here's another point.
Here's another point.
When Trump tried to tack on More fines against the Chinese companies.
Basically, Xi Jinping said, okay, we're going to go right around it and we're going to stop it and we're not going to heed whatever you're giving us in the way of all these economic sanctions.
So that just shows you going into this little huddle they're going to have where China's not afraid of America.
They've already lost the war.
China sees that they've already lost the war against Iran that has come, doesn't even come close to the military power of China.
So, you know, it's no win.
I don't think anyone's afraid of America anymore.
We are the paper tiger.
Did you see the red carpet treatment they gave Trump when he got off the plane?
Tell us about when we get back.
We'll be right back.

Permanent War Threatens US00:14:52
The U.S. and Israeli military planners think they can defeat Iran just by outspending it?
Well, you know, I think this is a really important issue.
And because of what effect it's now having in Israel and not in the West, I mean, this was the original thinking about in the United States about war with Russia.
outspend Russia, force it into bankruptcy, trying to match us in high-end, expensive aircraft and missiles.
And that will win us a war.
So it was set very much at that time that the American way of war was big expenditure, outmatching the expenditure of its adversaries, and also beyond that, It was about high end expenditure.
It was about air war, about the most sophisticated aircraft that cost millions, hundreds of millions stealth aircraft, big bombers, stealth bombers.
This was going to be the American way of war.
And it seemed to, with the implosion of the Soviet Union, it seemed to be, if you like, justified and legitimized.
And what I'm saying, in fact, in the piece I just wrote, was saying, But America hasn't moved on from that.
It's stayed, and the West has stayed in this paradigm.
This paradigm, and they did not start thinking about the threat of asymmetrical war.
It was too remote.
They just regarded it, you know, these people as sort of, you know, what, Yemenis in their flip flops going to challenge the mighty machine of Western military force.
Impossible.
And so, There was no sense of really sort of examining the structure and no sense really of looking or even thinking about, you know, what does asymmetrical war mean?
What is it going to mean?
Now, my main point though is it is more than this.
The main point I'm making really also is Israel did the same.
Israel, first of all, with Ben Gurion, had a very different view.
Ben Gurion said, We are a small country, small terrain.
We have limited population, limited resources.
We can't afford a big standing army.
We have a small professional army, and that professional army will, if necessary, deal with threats, but within the borders.
It wasn't about expanding the borders for Ben Gurion.
And he said, We have to rely on reservists.
We just don't, we're not big enough to do big, perpetual wars.
However, that's all been changed.
And I think the moment of change in Israel was with the 7th of October.
At that point, Israel adopted this doctrine of permanent war, something that had come out of Germany originally, permanent war, which envisaged that there was no endgame.
The enemy became a sort of, according to Professor Aydan Landau, in his words, the enemy became an undifferentiated mass of guises of Amalek.
And Professor Bartov was saying that, you know, what we have is Holocaust now, from the 7th of October, is seen by the Israeli government as not something that happened. in the past, but something always on threshold.
And there will be another Holocaust if we don't meet every threat with full force and destroy it at the root.
After 7th of October, these things fused and Hamas' attack was framed as a Holocaust-like attack.
Hamas are Nazis.
Criticizing Israel's actions is anti-Semitic.
Now, what's really interesting and what's happening in this, and this is a pointer beyond Israel, beyond what I said about the American adopting for outspending Russia in the Cold War.
But what is very interesting is now there has been a big divide in Israel.
There are circulating in the Hebrew press, and it's gone literally, it's gone across all of the press, and everyone is referring to it.
An Israeli colonel who is much respected, and he's written a couple of articles about permanent war and the dangers of permanent war.
And he said, You know, what we're trying to do, I mean, with this, is simply to destroy before it becomes a threat.
Before it becomes a threat, we're going to destroy populations, we're going to remove populations, we're going to kill a threat.
Before it can actually become a threat to us, like Amalek.
And we see every population as a potential Amalek, in the words of Landau.
And so they've come to this point, and he said, but it hasn't worked.
We can't do that.
We would need six or seven IDFs to fight all these multiple fronts we have now.
And we're not winning them, we are losing.
This war.
And he is saying, and this is picked up across Israel in many areas, it's been picked up across Israel.
He is saying, we have to go back to living within our borders, our original.
Like Ben Gurion said, we have to live within the borders, and we have to understand military force is not permanent war, but in Clausewitzian sense, A means to finding a permanent solution, a permanent settlement with our neighbors.
So this is very different thinking emerging from the military context, the more secular Ashkenazi section of Israel coming out and saying that model has failed.
We've failed in Iran.
And it's not just America, therefore, that's failed in Iran.
He's saying our model wouldn't work in Iran.
And others are taking it up.
And there's a huge debate taking place.
About this across Israel and against it.
And he said what was really wrong was the fusion of this military ideology of permanent security that came out of 7 October and how it became fused with the messianic ideas of redemption and greater Israel that are pursued by the Israeli right.
The Israeli right, who wanted to force redemption by physical.
Seizure of territory of greater Israel and thereby create redemption physically by military means.
And he said these two things have fused together in a nightmare which cannot survive.
And Israel cannot cope with this type of structure.
I think that's utterly fascinating.
Let me say it's surprising to me.
That he doesn't seem to understand that October 7th was manufactured.
And if you want to say who is, you know, how it was fused, it was Bibi Netanyahu.
It was his power, his influence that led to this greater Israel, this combination of theology and militarism.
Joachim, your thoughts.
Yeah, he had the courts coming after him for corruption.
He needed to get out of the jam, the legal jam that would have put him behind bars, ended his tour as president.
Or, prime minister, and you know, and so he engineered it.
It was like a 911 for Israel.
They planned it all out.
They gave them, they've been feeding the you know Hamas since the beginning.
They created Hamas, they gave millions of dollars in support of creation and to continue funding Hamas as the quote terrorists.
Uh, you know, so I mean, the whole thing is planned out way in advance.
And this guy's not ready to give up.
I mean, and, you know, sadly, you know, this guy is a rare realist amongst the Israelis because even though they're having to go down during the course of the war, they've been a little bit of a break.
Although I understand that there's still some action, you know, of opposing rockets and missiles coming in.
But anyway, they've had a lifestyle of having to live underground.
There's a lot of.
IDF soldiers that have gone AWOL.
They're not, they're having trouble recruiting.
They don't have the size enough force to go on too much longer.
There are so many problems that they're facing that are mounting up that are going to actually, you know, be the reason why this war ends, just like the United States faces situations where they're not going to be able to outlast Iran.
So, yeah, very similar situation.
And with a bombardment by Iran with its precise missile strikes, I mean, I think Israeli society must be panicking.
Russ, I want your thoughts.
I'm just astonished that someone as sophisticated as Alistair Crook couldn't understand that October 7th was designed, was plotted, was intentional.
He seems utterly oblivious.
Your thoughts, Ross?
Yeah, other than that, it was pretty well laid out what he said.
Yeah.
Yeah, if on October the 6th, Israel and the U.S. had consulted with an anti Semite, anti Zionist like me, I could have saved them a world of hurt.
Isn't that ironic?
Yeah.
That's the big irony.
Anti Semite Russ Winters' advice would have saved them a world of hurt.
Now it's too late.
Now they're screwed.
And you recall that Egypt basically reminded that there's going to be a war very soon.
They have a border there, they can see.
And they gave notice that there is likely going to be a war that will break out prior to the event.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Fairly astonishing.
Here's Colonel McGregor furthering the analysis.
I love this guy.
I think he's just the top.
Well, everyone, we're very honored to welcome back into the studio a longtime guest.
This is Colonel Douglas McGregor, fantastic insider into all things geopolitics and certainly the Iran war.
Colonel, how are you today?
Good, Cyrus.
Good.
Yeah, it's great to see you again.
Colonel, you know, we are in the 10th week of the Iran war, and I just would like to get your thoughts on this.
You know, we've seen so much news stories this past week with Trump launching Operation Freedom and then abandoning that 24 hours later.
You know, we're now seeing a potential, you know, peace deal that remarkably is very similar to Obama's deal that Trump actually said was the worst deal ever made.
Let me know your thoughts as we are here in the 10th week of this Iran conflict.
Well, following the administration, or for that matter, anything in Washington right now, is sort of watching a.
A teenage drama, you know, about high school or something.
People are sort of moving wildly at, you know, numerous different directions.
It's hard to separate truth from falsehood or fiction from reality.
In fact, I'm not even sure they could do that anymore in the White House.
President Trump has so frequently misled everybody about what's really happening that you're tempted to almost ignore whatever comes out of the White House.
But then you sit there and you say, well, I can't do that.
I've got to listen to this nonsense and try to figure it out.
I think, you know, we're on the verge of beginning another round of attacks, or I should say, beginning a new offensive, air and missile offensive.
And the best way to sum it up is that I think President Trump has stepped on the express elevator to hell, and he's taking everybody he can with him.
And that's kind of the way I see it, because I don't see any evidence that what we plan to do now.
Is going to produce an outcome that's different from what we've seen thus far.
And I know that we've assembled, at least at giving it a glance, it looks like we have more firepower this time than we had the last time.
This is particularly true of the Air Force with bombers now in close proximity to the theater or in the theater.
A lot of exotic munitions, perhaps even more than we launched the last time.
Things like the joint air to surface strike weapon, JASM.
We launched, I guess, a thousand of these.
I think we're going to do at least that many this time.
The problem with all of it is nothing has fundamentally changed in terms of your opponent's positions and your opponent's capabilities.
US Piles Up Military Costs00:10:45
So, when I hear things as I heard yesterday, well, there's this paper that he claims was being discussed.
Then you find out within 24 hours that's complete nonsense.
There isn't.
Then you hear again, well, that's not entirely true.
There may be an opportunity here.
And as you pointed out earlier before we went on live, this looks like a lot like the Obama solution from several years ago.
I don't know that any of that is true, but what I do know is that you have an enormous amount of firepower, air and naval, assembled in the region.
You don't do that for show.
This just is not going to intimidate the Iranians.
They're sitting in what is the geographical equivalent of a giant fortress, surrounded by mountains and to the south, nasty deserts, some of the hottest places on earth.
And I just don't see that anything we can do is going to fundamentally alter their position.
If anything, I think they too are going to be stronger this time around than they were the last time.
I think they'll probably have more effective air defense, air and missile defense.
They've had a lot of assistance from the Chinese.
They continue to enjoy enormous intelligence support from both the Russians and the Chinese.
And I think more important, they now are in a fully fledged alliance with Russia and China.
Now, I don't know what the content was of the discussion between President Trump and President Putin recently.
But he was on there for 90 minutes to two hours with President Putin.
And the Russian readout that they'll release suggests that Putin was very straightforward, saying, Don't do this.
This could produce something far worse than what you've experienced thus far.
So I don't know.
You know, the temptation to read in that is great, but I'm not sure what we should make of it except to say that he's pointing to the express train to hell.
He's saying, Look, you know, you're on this thing.
This is not going to help you.
This is going to make matters worse around the world.
It's going to make matters worse for you.
So I'd say that's my quick summary as to where we are right now, which is not really a very good place.
Right.
Colonel, what do you think about Iran and what they've been doing over the last month?
Do you have any intelligence into, I mean, have they been like stockpiling more missiles?
Have they been really preparing for this NASA escalation?
Because, you know, at the beginning of the conflict, we saw a lot of missiles from Iran, you know, just daily blasts into Israel, a lot of missiles being dropped.
It's been relatively peaceful the last few weeks as far as the combat.
But I think, as you mentioned, the U.S. is piling up.
Do we have the same thing happening in Iran?
Have they been building more missiles, requiring more drones, and getting ready for this next move?
Yes, I would say perhaps even more so.
We know that they spent at least 20 years, some people insist 30 years, putting together the force that they have today, building the underground facilities, embedding capabilities in mountains and so forth.
That's probably true.
And I think they always regarded the inevitability of war with us.
As something they had to prepare for.
Now, they've always been confident that they could ride out a war with Israel and, more important, do damage to Israel.
But they have always genuinely feared us and respected our military capability.
So I think that has now doubled down and improved.
Remember, if you look at their performance during the 12 day war several months ago and then compare that with the more recent performance, they were infinitely more capable and more lethal during the last phase.
This time, I think you're going to see something similar.
Just as President Trump says he's bringing the Army hypersonic service to service missile system into the theater for use, I think you're going to see some new things on the Iranian side, courtesy, I think, to some extent, from China.
And I think the Chinese have flown, I don't know how many sorties into Tehran, delivering missiles, technology, and technical assistance.
Numerous Chinese on the ground, particularly in the missile business.
Also, to some extent, the unmanned system production.
The Russians have been heavily involved trying to help and assist with integrated air defenses, which haven't really worked as well as they should have to this point.
Then, the other thing that we shouldn't lose sight of is the Russians have tried very hard to ship in as much humanitarian aid to the Iranians as they can.
And when President Trump and his contingent of staffers and supporters say, well, Iran's in terrible shape, their currency is destroyed, and on and on and on, they're not wrong.
But the Iranians are prepared for that kind of damage.
They anticipated it.
And they have now evacuated all of their key buildings.
So there's no doubt in my mind that whatever we say publicly, they are anticipating a worst case scenario right now and they're preparing for it.
The one thing that I think we could see this time that we did not see the last time is the use of some ground power.
In other words, we have several thousand airborne.
Soldiers, paratroopers, and Marines that could be involved in seizing an island or perhaps attacking even something like Bangladesh, if for nothing else, as a raid to demonstrate the capability.
I don't know.
These things are possible.
What's not going to happen is the United States Navy is not going to sail through that strait and challenge the Iranians because they know they'll end up at the bottom or certainly decorating the bottom of the Persian Gulf.
So that's not going to happen.
But I think you could see the Marines and paratroopers used in some way.
I think that's an equally bad idea, but that would be crazy.
That would be crazy.
That's now you got the 105 and 110 degree temperatures.
Go ahead.
The whole world would like something else to happen.
Peace.
I do agree.
If you'd listen to the people in the GC, I want to get back to you guys.
Yes, go right ahead, Russ.
Your thoughts.
105, 110 degree temperature.
That's not going to work.
You know, they're talking about doing some raid on.
They keep doing the Hail Mary raid to try to take the uranium away.
I mean, it's just absurd, total absurdity.
I mean, probably what they could do is hit the brand's energy infrastructure and just kind of make it so they can't produce anything.
And there'll be reciprocity on that.
And that will really tank the world economy.
I mean, it's headed for a disaster as it is, just with the economic blockade.
But you start destroying all that infrastructure.
Structure and spreading it into the United States, I'm convinced, is coming domestic.
Exactly, kind of how I described it.
It's too easy.
Too many easy, soft targets.
And that'll really be a wake up call.
By the way, you know how Heg, Seth, and Trump have been claiming they've destroyed Iran's missile capabilities?
CIA has estimated actually they have 70% of their original, but the Iranian foreign minister said no, 120%, because they've been producing more missiles underground.
And you can take it to the bank.
He's right.
120% of what they had originally.
So, Higseth and Trumbridge have a couple of more.
Even if it's 90%, you know, that's enough.
Even if it's 90%.
It's their best stuff.
They've held off.
They've used their old stuff right off the bat to consume all the energy.
Their capacity to produce these weapons is so much more efficient and faster than the U.S.
So, you know, during this ceasefire, they've been very, very busy.
You better believe.
Yes.
And I'm inclined to think, yes, they have built up to where it was and maybe surpassing it from the beginning of this war.
Yes.
And so, in other words, that should tell the whole world we can go on forever.
Iran's basically saying that we can go on as long as you want.
Yes, our depth hole is going to go up, and that's horror.
And yes, they could be trying to take out the facilities that produce their oil, their bread and butter.
That could happen too.
But you better believe that all the Gulf states, those facilities, that infrastructure is going to be gone.
Those countries are going to be off the map without their oil.
And they don't have the mountainous.
And now, by the way, because they've basically taken out the radar system that the U.S. military has in the Gulf states, so now there's a lot of rain coming to Iran that was lacking before.
They've been in a drought because of the manipulation by the United States with weather warfare.
So I'm so glad to see that now, where they got the rain coming down in the mountains again.
Switching back to the U.S., I mean, I got to make another point.
The U.S. is rapidly getting to the level of their strategic reserve where it's rock bottom.
You can't really go below around 200 million barrels because it's salt dormant.
They're in these salt basins.
That's the minimum.
And so that short term expediency is really running low now.
They're kind of getting to a point where it's just trickle, trickle, trickle, trickle out.
And then you're going to wreck all the oil facilities all through the Middle East, not just Iran's, but everybody else's, and drop drums all over the place and send bombers in there to what?
Drop it on their bridges?
Drop it on what?
Drop it on granite mountains?
I mean, I don't get it.
Send in guys in 110 degree temperatures is just ludicrous.
And not even considering the asymmetrical warfare coming at the domestic United States.
I'm going to repeat that because it's going to happen.
And then I'm going to remind everybody of what I said here and now.
And Trump doesn't understand any of this, any of it.
No, no.
Asymmetrical Warfare Looms Large00:04:55
We'll be right back after this break.
We'll send a revolutionary note, freedomslips.com.
We'll be right back.
Was it a conspiracy?
Did you know that the police in Boston were broadcasting, this is a drill, this is a drill, on bull hordes during the marathon?
That the Boston Globe was tweeting that a demonstration bomb would be set off during the marathon for the benefit of bomb squad activities, and that one would be set off in one minute in front of the library, which happened as the Globe had announced.
Peering through the smoke, you could see bodies with missing arms and legs.
But there was no blood.
The blood only showed up later and came out of a tomb.
They used amputee actors and a studio quality smoke machine.
Don't let yourself be played.

This is what they do, and we must fight back.
You can torture us and fall, us, fire is catching, and if we burn, you burn with us.
I hope.
Are you going to watch it?
I hope.
Yeah.
We've tried and we've tried for years and years to use passive resistance and loud voices to make a change.
Time.
We'll be back.
Can't hear anything.
Yeah, it's mute.

Nuclear Material Remains in Iran00:14:29
Well, here we go.
Terrence, give us the grand tour.
Yeah, before we jump off on Winter Watch, let me kind of give my prediction on Trump and China.
I think that he's, at some point in time, his dark triad personality will come out and he'll insult somebody.
Really high up in the hierarchy of the Chinese government, or maybe do a tweet as he takes off going back to America that insults them and it'll completely go haywire.
Just as right up to the meeting, which is going to begin basically in a few hours, right up until that time, as he was traveling over there, he's still saying, Oh, Chi is a great guy.
I always get along with him.
It's so good to be with.
I mean, he goes on and on.
Kissing cheese ass.
I think he's in a position to just kiss his ass more because he's not holding any cards.
China has a lot.
I think China's going to drop the hammer on the whole thing.
They got the Belt and Road Initiative.
Iran is crucial to them.
They're supporting Iran.
I think Trump's going to be told, knock it off, buddy, or your ass is grass.
I don't think there's.
He's going to be humiliated in China.
And I think he'll also say, and you better not touch the Straits of Malacca.
Yeah, yeah.
70 80%.
I just did the article 70 80% of their oil that starts out, you know, going through the Strait or moves.
Well, it ends up in the Strait of Malacca before it enters the South China Sea.
And so they just made a deal.
The US military made a deal with the military of Indonesia, of all places, which of course.
Is in control.
They have the land right there along that little strait and on the other side of Singapore.
And so if they made a deal, and it could have happened because it wouldn't be the first time that someone, you know, Probo, who is an ex general, just like his father in law, Suharto, the worst leader ever of basically Indonesia, who was responsible for a half a million fellow Indonesians.
Dying from 66 up to around 1970, controlled by the CIA and the MI6, by the way, making deals with the military in Indonesia.
Well, here we go again.
The son in law is carrying on the footsteps.
If that happens, we're going to see all hell break loose, and that will enter a third major war zone in addition to the Middle East and Europe.
So I have to get back to that.
But the Chinese have enormous.
Reserves, strategic reserves.
I mean, the number is something like 1 trillion, possibly even a trillion and a half, because they keep it secret and far exceeding what the United States, Japan, and Europe have.
There's not even any comparison.
So if it gets down to some kind of stranglehold type stuff on straits and whatnot, China's got the upper hand on that.
They can last a lot longer than the U.S., that's for sure.
And Russia has vast oil reserves of its own.
Russ, take it through Winter Watch.
You want me to drop down to the.
Yeah, I'll go ahead and do our regular routine.
Yeah.
I've got the meme.
Yeah, I can't quite read it for whatever reason.
I'm having trouble getting it.
Probably this as well.
Oh, here it is.
Here it is.
Click read.
Well, here's the meme archive.
Meme them until they cry, then make memes about them crying.
Sounds silly.
I have war.
I guess specifically Neo Caligula Trump opines on financial conditions of America.
This is short and sweet.
Where is that?
Second item around the web.
Oh, a second item around the web.
Okay, let me go back to around the web.
Yes.
Yeah, this was incredible that he said this.
I mean, this is a.
He's going to insult somebody in China.
He's going to get his head in.
By the Democrats for the midterm.
All you got to do is run Trump saying it doesn't give a shit about American finances.
This is actually incredible.
Listen to this.
Not even a little bit.
The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon.
I don't think about Americans' financial situation.
I don't think about anybody.
I think about one thing.
We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
That's all.
That's the only thing that matters.
But Iran didn't want a nuclear weapon.
Iran wasn't pursuing a nuclear weapon.
Intel is confirming that even today.
So, for the sake of a non existent problem, he's sacrificing American finances.
This is a Killer.
I mean, the Democrat answered.
He's sacrificing the American people.
He doesn't give a shit about us.
That's right.
He's saying it very baldly.
He doesn't give a shit about the American people.
Russ.
Okay.
We'll switch back to the meme of the day, and it's called TDRS, Trump Dick Riding Syndrome, an ongoing mental condition where a person's absolute worship and blind loyalty to Donald Trump has led them to abandon all logic and reason in a paranoid frenzy of.
Sickle fancy.
Psycho fancy.
Yeah.
Well, Trump turns out to be such a loser.
It's just astonishing.
Absolutely.
Here we have the exchange of Trump's comment on the Iran's letter proposal where they sent the proposals out, which actually I kind of read and it's reasonable.
It's a reasonable proposal.
Don't worry, sir.
Some future press will make it look like an avid genius.
This says, Trump, I don't like the letter.
It's inappropriate.
I reject Iran's response.
And Iran comes back five minutes later.
We write proposals for Iran's national interest, not to please Trump.
If Trump is unhappy, that's probably a good sign.
I love that.
Well, totally appropriate.
Absolute cinema.
That's all I've wanted.
As you said, Jim, they have no intention.
They've all up to this time had no intention to ever have a nuclear weapon.
You know, so that's all just, you know, bullshit propaganda that they're putting out.
And they want sanction relief.
They've been squeezed so bad financially, they need the sanction relief.
And then they just want a permanent ceasefire, you know, let bygones be bygones.
And yes, they do want.
To extract a toll for going through their Strait of Hormuz.
That is their territorial water.
That's not international water.
That's territorial, belonging to them.
And so they have the right.
Turkey has the Strait of Dardanelles.
And guess what?
Turkey charges for every ship that goes through.
So the same thing should apply to the Hormuz Strait for Iran.
Iran just wants to be treated with respect, like every other nation on the face of Earth.
But the U.S. and Israel especially can't do that.
They want to crush them.
They want to subjugate them.
They want to humiliate them.
They want to destroy them.
And I just, even though I'm agnostic, I say, thank God Iran has stood up to Israel and America.
Damn it all.
They are setting an inspiring example for the world.
Meanwhile, Bibi implies anyone who posts a mean comment about Israel is part of a bot farm.
Bibi implied everyone who posts a mean comment about Israel is part of a bot farm.
For some reason, 60 Minutes edited that part.
Out of their interview.
That basically manipulated social media with bot farms, with fake addresses to break the American sympathy to Israel, to break the American Israeli alliance because they think it's in their interests.
And they do it in a clever way.
You know, it's like you hear a text message I'm a red blooded Texan.
I always supported Israel, but I can't stand what they're doing.
I'm turning against Israel.
And then you trace the address to some.
Basement in Pakistan, you know, and that's yeah, he's trying to imply that everyone in America really loves Israel, so any expression's got to be artificially contrived.
But America despises Israel, I mean, this is ridiculous, and that's why he's multiplied the budget for propaganda by like five or tenfold.
I mean, it's we're going to be subjected to so much about Israel, it's and a lot of anti Iran, they know what they can't actually elevate.
Israel's standing, but they can do what they can to suppress Iran's.
So they're claiming that there are anti Semitic attacks inspired by Iran when Iran doesn't sink to that level.
Iran's got some good propaganda.
Give them credit.
The king of the bot farms has always been Israel.
That's right.
The lore of Israel.
Iran's propaganda is effective because it's truthful.
I mean, it kind of just hits right at the truth.
Absolutely.
Here's another.
They have a history of whatever they're accusing their opponent of.
They are guilty.
That's right.
Absolute bombshell.
Israeli PM Netanyahu accidentally exposes his total control over the White House.
He confirms Donald Trump immediately pledged absolute loyalty to the Zionist agenda before even sitting down.
Washington is captured by a foreign entity.
No discussion with this.
You know, I came to the United States in 2016.
Right before the elections.
Because I made it a habit to meet with the candidates of both parties, either in America or here.
So I go to 2016, it's right before the elections, and I meet with Hillary Clinton, and then I meet with Donald Trump in New York.
The first thing he says to me in Trump Tower is, We can't let Iran have nuclear weapons.
I'm going to walk out of that terrible Iran deal.
Jump forward eight years later, there's another election.
I meet President Biden and Kamala Harris in Washington, and then I go and meet Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago.
And the first thing he says to me, even before I sit down, he says, You know, Bibi, we cannot let Iran have nuclear weapons.
I'm not going to let it happen.
So he's infused with this mission.
Yeah, infused with this mission.
What kind of a mission is that?
I mean, Iran wasn't pursuing nukes, and we had an open Strait of Hormuz before this absurd attack.
Unreal.
Unreal.
There's another one.
There's another one down there on that interview, too.
Yeah.
A lot of stuff they left out, and you can kind of see why.
CBS did the interview, and they kind of left a lot of this interview out of the final product.
Oh, okay.
The CEO of CBS worked for Israel, Barry Weiss.
Holy crap.
A foreign prime minister at Just Soul America, Mia, your war isn't over.
And casually floated, sending your sons into Iran to grab uranium.
Then, yeah, it's not over.
You go in and you take it out.
Reporter with what?
Special forces from Israel?
No, I call it.
Is the war with Iran over?
And if it isn't, who will decide when it is?
I think it accomplished a great deal, but it's not over because there's still nuclear material, enriched uranium, that has to be taken out of Iran.
There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled.
There are still proxies that Iran supports.
There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce.
Now, we've degraded a lot of it.
But all of that is still there, and there's work to be done.
How do you envision the highly enriched uranium will be removed from Iran?
You go in and you take it out.
With what?
Special forces from Israel, special forces from the United States?
Well, I'm not going to talk about military means, but what President Trump has said to me, I want to go in there.
And I think it can be done physically.
That's not the problem.
If you have an agreement and you go in and you take it out, why not?
That's the best way.
What if there isn't an agreement?
Can it be taken out by force?
Well, You're going to ask me these questions.
I'm going to dodge them because I'm not going to talk about our military possibilities, plans, or anything of the kind.
And I'm just trying to get at how long it is going to take to achieve that aim.
I'm not going to give a timetable to it, but I'm going to say that's a terrifically important mission.
Billionaires Fund Kentucky Politics00:13:38
I'll just say that's the real Bibi Netanyahu, I have no doubt, which means he is alive and well.
I had conjectured, I think Joaquim too, that he had been killed.
In the strike that killed his brother, but that is the real guy, I have no doubt whatsoever.
Russ, and I want to say that Russia has already offered to go in and take out Iran's right, right?
Right, right, who has explained they had a deal to send it all to Russia, and then the U.S. vetoed it.
I mean, there was an agreement between the U.S., Iran, and Russia to send it all to Russia, and obviously, BB shot it down.
They have no doubt about it.
Meanwhile, what else we got here?
His blood drone has been doing a hell of a job in Lebanon.
Let's see what we got.
We don't clap back, we don't clap back, we don't clap back, we don't cla Tanks are sitting ducks now.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Like aircraft carriers.
Yep, absolutely right.
Megan admits to being manipulated by and too trusting of Israeli propaganda.
Seeing what Israel does, the critic made me reevaluate the Israel first crowd demands I hate Muslims, AIPAC, and its paid agents are ubiquitous and powerful.
I've been too trusting.
You've been somewhat defensive of Islam, just blatant attacks on it as a religion.
And I also said something that you and I talked about months ago, which was as I now see what Israel does to you, I mean, truly, like its emissaries for sure have unleashed a vicious campaign against yours truly on social media and elsewhere.
It's fine.
I mean, we're handling it.
But as I now see what they do, it does cause me to reevaluate what other propaganda has been out there that I've fallen for that's coming from a foreign government.
You know, you and I discussed this.
And I have been blown away by how openly the Israel First crowd is demanding that I and others hate Muslims.
Or else, but I am reevaluating some of the things I swallowed hook, line, and sinker, Tucker, because I now see we've all been manipulated.
You have no idea how ubiquitous and powerful APAC, Israel, its lobby, its paid agents.
I mentioned Brad Pascal the other day, who's registered as a foreign agent for Israel now and runs Salem Media Group.
I mean, there are a lot of those folks in our nation pushing propaganda on us.
And I frankly think I've been too trusting.
I'm a Christian.
On the other hand, I just like reverent people.
And anyone who bows down before God and admits I'm not God five times a day doesn't share my theology.
We don't have the same view of how you get to heaven.
But that person is not, by definition, my enemy.
I'm not going to hate you.
Because your parents did something that somebody else objects to.
I'm just not playing along with that.
And I knew that I would be attacked as like a Muslim lover or whatever.
I don't know.
I'm not a Muslim lover.
I'm a people lover until proven otherwise.
And I'm just not going to play along at all.
I like that.
I'm a people lover.
And look at this.
Welcome to Israel.
Genocide is self defense, rape is democracy, land theft is going home, anti genocide is anti Semitic.
Or anti-Saptic as JPGV would have happened.
Guys are so funny.
I think it's good that Megan is really redeeming herself.
She used to be just a pretty face, a very, very pretty face, but she's actually doing something in her role as a journalist today.
I'm growing in respect for Megan Kelly, which wasn't true in the past.
Russ, Joaquin, either your thoughts?
Well, Beth, I mean, one of the things they're doing on Megan is they're just so surprised at the rapid turnaround of these people.
Well, she just explained it.
She just listened to her own words.
She explained it.
She just saw the light.
You know, she had an awakening.
She kind of woke up to some things.
It's happened to a lot of people, it's a worldwide phenomenon.
Joaquin?
Yeah, we've seen a bunch of influencers come around that were very supportive of Israel in the past.
You know, Tucker Carlson is another one, you know, and each one I mean, Candace Owens, each one has been targeted now by Israel.
I mean, they're running all kinds of, you know, propaganda campaigns to tarnish their character, really, their reputation.
I'm so glad the awakening is taking place.
Meanwhile, Charlie was a big fan of Thomas Massey.
There's supposed to be a speech.
I don't know why.
Yeah, the post is screwed up.
Anyway, he's doing an interview with Thomas Massey and introduces him as probably one of his favorite congressmen.
Massey is so wonderful.
He's being subjected to a massive assault down there in Kentucky.
I mean, millions and millions are being.
The top story there on the very top hit that one.
Yeah.
30 independent creators on X with over 40 million followers are currently in Kentucky to help Thomas Massey defeat APAC.
Oh, I love hearing that.
I love hearing that.
I have a dear friend in Republican politics who follows all together.
He's been calling me about Massey every day.
Yesterday, Massey in the betting market was like 70% expected to win.
Today, his opponent was 55% expected to win because of all this.
Yeah.
And I said, I can't believe that.
I mean, why would the people in Kentucky give up a golden boy like Thomas Massey who's speaking up for them for some POS, you know, who's one more Zionist brain donkey?
I love this report here.
One of the most inspiring things I've seen in years.
30 independent creators on X, over 40 million followers are en route to Kentucky to help Thomas Massey defect AIPAC.
This is effing incredible.
See what we get here.
This is what happens when a politician serves the interests of his voters, constituents, and the American people instead of the interests of billionaires and their pedophile friends.
But I have a plan to stop it, and it's going to take every single one of us, and we're going to start right now because Thomas Massey needs our help, and he needs it today.
Story time.
Eight days ago, I was sitting at a lunch table in Washington, D.C., across from Congressman Thomas Massey, when he pulled out his phone, showed me a tweet, and asked me, Ms. Beyonce, did you mean it when you sent this?
The tweet in question, I will fly to Kentucky and bring every follower I have across every platform to fight for rep Thomas Massey.
POTUS has grossly misjudged how done the citizenry is with bought and paid-for politics.
And the answer I gave him, Absolutely Congressman, what do you need?
He said, That is exactly what I need.
Can you help me?
Now, if you are not familiar with what is going on in the fourth district of northern Kentucky, right now, Representative Thomas Massey, an incumbent that boasts the highest approval rating of any member of Congress, According to voters across the United States, Trump is currently fending off a challenge from a primary candidate named Ed Galrain, a guy nobody's ever heard of before.
But Trump said that was fine because he just needed a warm body and Kentucky voters would vote the way he told them to.
Now, all of that would probably seem fine if it was just a regular primary, but it's not.
What's actually happening right now is that in retribution for Thomas Massey fighting so hard to release the Epstein files and back the victims of Epstein's crimes, These three billionaires right here that have zero ties to Kentucky have spent nearly $13 million in one of the smallest districts in the U.S. that currently has a primary to try to unseat Thomas Massey for refusing to protect their pedophile friends.
Now, Representative Thomas Massey is very popular, so he's actually raised more than almost any member of Congress.
And still, these three Israeli donors that have no ties to Kentucky are outspending him four to one.
Drowning and flooding this district in ads that are using deep fakes to misrepresent words, make up statements he's never said, lie about him, knowing he doesn't have the money to fight back.
You see, AIPAC regularly brags about the fact that they have financially supported 80% of winners in congressional races.
And I've also seen them congratulate themselves for up to 90% in prior election years.
But at the beginning, I promised that I had a plan and that I was going to stop this corruption.
I am done with billionaires buying elections and overriding the will of voters.
And so today, I am calling on you to tag every creator you know that is within driving distance of Kentucky.
Now, that's a big swath, okay?
Within five hours, you've got Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama.
You've got Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania.
I need you to tag every creator you know on this app.
And I need you to tell them that we ride at dawn for Thomas Massey.
Because that's exactly what we need to do.
I want every major creator that is available on this app, no matter where you fall in the political spectrum, if you are against corruption in politics and you want to make a difference, I need you here in Northern Kentucky at the Cincinnati Line.
And I need you here by Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Those are our three early days.
Early voting is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 14th, 15th, and 16th.
And final voting day is Tuesday, the 19th.
And so if you are within driving distance, I need you in Kentucky.
I'm already.
Grassroots, good to see.
That's what American politics needs to turn into.
I mean, this is really a test.
We're in a time where many Americans...

And now we return you to your host.
Here's Marjorie Taylor Greene, absent Thomas Massey, my favorite Washington politician, even though she's no longer a member of Congress.
Sad to say, last report I've heard because of death threats against her family, they're moving to Costa Rica, I have been told.
Listen to what Marjorie has to say.
Americans are realizing MAGA is dead.
And do you want to know who took the actions to kill MAGA?
It was the creator and the founder himself, Donald Trump.
When we started talking about releasing the Epstein files, I'm like, this is a no brainer.
President Trump will just roll them out on a big cart himself.
And I learned that the president didn't want to release the Epstein files.
He told everybody, don't release the Epstein files.
And I got a phone call from the president.
And he said, Marjorie, you're going to have to take your name off that discharge petition.
He said, my friends are going to get hurt.
To actually be asked by the president of the United States to back off, And not help these women?
That's when MAGA died.
And then I heard back from Donald Trump.
And I've saved these text messages.
I'd probably get put in jail if I released them publicly, but I saved them.
Where Donald Trump proceeded to tell me that it was my fault.
If my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him.
After we got the president elected, and after what seemed to be setting our country on the right course, We had Donald Trump, JD Vance in the White House.
That's where they are now.
Republicans took control of the House, and Republicans were in the majority in the Senate.
I thought for sure we were about to accomplish the great campaign promises that we made to the American people for years.
The campaign promises of no more foreign wars and no more regime change, the campaign promises of bringing back American innovation and industry and small businesses.
The campaign promises of dismantling the Board of Education, the campaign promises of finally holding the deep state accountable, locking up Dr. Anthony Fauci, right?
Holding accountable the J6 committee that destroyed people's lives, holding accountable the U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves that horrifically prosecuted.
People that walked in the Capitol on January 6th and destroyed their lives is responsible for multiple suicides.
Holding responsible for the bad guys that Donald Trump told us about constantly for years and years of Russiagate and all these other things, but the deep state, stopping FISA 702, spying on Americans, you know, the good stuff, right?
All the things that Republicans had campaigned on, the things that they were asked about and talked about on Fox News 24 7.
The things you read about and email fundraising letters that you received, text messages, and on and on and on.
I thought, okay, we're about to do this.
I was so excited.
I was probably the most excited.
I was so excited.
I wore MAGA hats on the House floor.
That's how excited I was.
Things were going pretty good the first quarter of 2025.
We were making some momentum.
I had finally seen some of my Republican colleagues in the House have more courage than I'd ever seen them have.
It was really funny to me.
I was quite amazed.
That every single Republican I served with who actually hated Donald Trump and used to tell me to their face they hated him were all of a sudden coming up to me, showing me proudly their MAGA hats that he had signed and the great gigantic coin that the president had given them because Donald Trump has everything bigger and shinier and more gold than anybody else.
So his challenge coins were the biggest.
So I watched this drastic change among House Republicans.
And then in 2025, the first quarter, we were actually doing it.
We were passing some legislation that needed to be passed.
There was much hope going forward.
But then all of a sudden, the momentum slowed down.
And as we approached going into the spring and the summer, we started getting some bills that we were being asked to vote on.
One of them was called the Genius Act, and the other was the Clarity Act.
And these were brought forth by the crypto industry.
And I had a problem with the Genius Act because it had some vague language in there.
Dr. Paul, you know how this goes.
They put in these nasty little poison pills and all types of avenues to create bigger problems for the future.
And the Genius Act basically laid out a back door for central bank digital currency.
Well, that was something I could never vote for because we never want to give our government the power to create the ability to control how you spend or don't spend your money.
Well, this is something that the Prime Minister of India had spoken to us in Congress about.
They love digital currency there.
And as a matter of fact, he bragged and bragged to all of us in the House of Representatives on how they were able to use it, how they could pay their citizens when they needed to pay them, how they could charge their citizens, like for taxes when they needed to collect taxes.
And when I saw a Republican sponsored bill that the president was publicly supporting on Truth Social and in his speeches, That the Congress must pass it to regulate and set up the system for crypto.
I was concerned.
And so I said, when they asked me where I was, when they were whipping my vote, I said, I'm a no, I can't vote for that.
Well, I found myself in the principal's office and sitting in a chair directly in front of the Resolute desk in the Oval Office.
So naturally, I went to the White House that day saying hi to all my friends.
Hi, hey, saw you at the rally six months ago.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
We should have dinner.
I'm walking in the White House among everyone that I knew and was friends with to go talk to, of course, my good friend Donald Trump, who I'd helped become president.
And so I sit down in front of the desk thinking that this should go fine.
And of course, the president's going to understand where I'm coming from.
And naturally, he's going to agree with me that we can't have a central bank digital currency.
And of course, he's going to direct everyone in the room, especially the speaker, that you've got to change this bill, Mike Johnson.
Boy, Was I wrong?
That meeting didn't go as well as I thought.
As a matter of fact, it went pretty bad where I ended up being the one that got yelled at the whole time.
I got lectured the most, and I walked out of there pretty surprised.
However, when I walked out, I did something that's uncommon.
And there's Dr. Paul in the room that had the courage and the integrity in his career to do the same.
I walked out of the White House, and my vote was still no.
And that's important.
Now, you see, today we're in a time where many Americans are realizing MAGA is dead.
Yeah, MAGA is dead.
And Marjorie embodied MAGA perhaps better than anyone else on earth.
And for her to become disillusioned really tells it all.
Russ, I think it's interesting how she describes his bullying and his dark triad personality, which is.
Gas Tax Struggles Continue00:04:47
Precisely what he's going to pull in China.
That's the model.
He's going to do something like that in China.
Like what?
Russ, I don't think so.
We saw him demonstrate his bullying strategy.
Explain it.
I didn't get it.
I know you're making a real clear point.
I just didn't get it.
Okay.
He's demonstrating his dark triad bullying.
Yeah.
And he just does that on everybody.
It's just persistent.
In his personality.
And apparently it's going to grow in intensity as he's gotten more senile or demented or whatever.
Facing more opposition.
Yeah.
He's gained more criticism and he doesn't like it.
Yeah.
And he bullies people all the time.
But that's what he's going to do in China.
That's my point.
I don't try to do it with Xi.
That's not going to work, Ross.
It's not going to work, but he's going to try it.
He hasn't got a cost of a chance.
That's guaranteed.
He'll try it.
Yeah.
That is so insulting to the Chinese president.
If he tries that, I mean, forget it.
Forget it.
China knows what it's doing.
China holds all the cards.
Trump doesn't have any.
This is going to be very embarrassing.
Very embarrassing.
Meanwhile, Trump is going to try to manipulate gas prices by dropping the federal gas tax.
It's only like 18.6 or a quarter.
It's not going to make a hell of a lot of difference, but he's doing everything he can to try to keep the price of gas down because everyone sees it, everyone's affected, and they don't like it.
You just spoke to the president about his plans to ease pain at the pump.
We say that all the time.
It does hurt, especially starting a new week.
What's his plan?
Reid, I spoke to the president about the idea of a pause in the federal gas tax.
The gas tax at the federal level is 18 cents a gallon, and I asked the president whether he was thinking about pursuing a pause to the gas tax.
He said, yes, he is, and he really seemed to warm up to the idea as we continued our conversation.
He said, we're going to take off the gas tax for a period of time, and when gas goes down, we'll let it phase back in.
But yes, we're going to be doing something on that.
Now, pausing the federal gas tax would take an act of Congress.
There are Democratic lawmakers who have introduced legislation to either pause or reduce the federal gas tax.
It does come with repercussions because this is money that goes to fund highway repairs, highway construction, other transit projects.
And so you're looking at a significant hit to the funding for those projects for as long as this gas, Tax were to be paused.
But with gasoline now topping $4.50 a gallon, it does appear that there is growing recognition that something may need to be done to ease pain at the pump.
You cite Congress needing to get involved, and of course, Congress has other big fish to fry as well this week.
Do you have a sense of timing as to how long this could take if the American public is to feel that little bit of an ease at the pump?
Well, if you've got the President of the United States pushing Republicans to do it, and you have Democrats in the House and Senate.
Who have already introduced legislation to do it.
It is the kind of thing that theoretically could happen rather quickly.
It just depends on whether lawmakers are willing to put it at the top of the agenda and whether the House and the Senate agree on whether they want to pause the gas tax entirely.
Yeah, it's robbing Peter to pay Paul.
It's, you know, it's a trade off.
Trump only wants.
To preserve his political viability, he doesn't give a goddamn about the actual consequences.
We have all kinds of infrastructure that needs repair, that is funded by the tax he wants to obliterate to preserve his popularity heading up to the midterm or reduce his unpopularity.
Joaquin.
Yeah, it's a drop in the bucket.
It's not going to make any difference at all in the pockets of the American people.
They are hurting and they're going to continue hurting.
And a few cents off the gas tax.
Mindless Machines Drive Doom00:07:43
What a joke.
Yeah.
And it's going to keep climbing.
Russ said how he got there was it climbed up to 450 just while he was doing his visit to Washington.
And it's going to keep going up.
Of course.
Russ, your thoughts.
Yeah, it's just a two week blip in the parabolic move.
Big deal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Trump is so shallow.
I've just been stupefied by the man having no depth whatsoever, no character, no principles.
Really bad.
Here's Caitlin Johnstone with some thoughts.
I think she's terrific.
We're being driven to our doom by mindless machines.
We are being driven to our doom by mindless machines of our own making.
It is not impossible to solve our world's problems.
It only looks that way because we've created systems which Cause human behavior to be driven by mindless mechanisms of our own making rather than by human interest.
We allow the blind pursuit of profit to govern the way the human species behaves on our planet.
Corporations, which are legally compelled to do whatever maximizes shareholder value, are exerting more and more control over the state and its people.
And now we've got AI getting prepped to do whatever it's going to do.
These are unthinking beasts of our own creation.
And we let them rule our world.
Our lives are dominated by gods without brains, and we made the gods.
We are being driven to extinction by the headless horsemen of the apocalypse, and we built those headless horsemen, bolt by bolt, with our own hands.
War, militarism, ecocide, exploitation, imperialist extraction, these things happen because they are profitable.
And we are led by systems and institutions which consistently cause the most profitable thing to happen.
They continually slant all movement toward the most profitable outcome, regardless of the negative impact it can have on human beings and the other organisms with whom we share this planet.
That's why the military-industrial complex exists.
That's why the rainforests and ice caps are vanishing while sprawling data centers spring up all over the place.
That's why ordinary people are getting poorer and more miserable, while those who own and operate giant corporations are getting richer and more powerful.
These things aren't happening because it's the way things need to be.
They're not happening because of human nature or because of some immutable characteristic of the way human civilization has to unfold.
They're happening because the mindless forces we put in charge of our society made things this way.
We can dismantle capitalism and set up systems which center human interests instead of profit.
We do have the power to unseat the plutocratic institutions which rule our nations and put the people in the throne of power.
All we need is the will to do so, which is why so much propaganda indoctrination has gone into undermining our will to do so.
Yeah, those are all nice thoughts.
I think the data center problem is really, really serious.
That it's.
They're proliferating like wild grass, and they have such a vast consumption of resources.
I'd like each of you to say a few words about data centers.
They're redundant.
I do these interviews with Bill Binney from NSA on a weekly basis, and he's emphasizing NSA has everything.
They got every email, every phone call, they got every video clip, they got it all.
They don't need all these redundant.
Data center, which consume vast amounts of electricity and water.
There's one down in Texas going to consume like a billion gallons of water.
I don't know how often, but I mean, where do you get a billion gallons of water?
Joaquin, your thoughts.
Joaquin throws at Russ.
Timing couldn't be worse.
I mean, we kind of have the juxtaposition of all the other things we've talked about on the show to have this going on.
Just more fuel, just more icing on the cake of a disaster.
Yes.
Yes, I couldn't agree.
And on the financial side, too.
It's not just the ecology and the strain on the overall economy, it's on the financial side because there's A lot of debt being used to build the stuff out and it's not being monetized.
As wonderful as I think Chat GPT is, I love Chat GPT.
Kind of helps me a lot.
I've engaged a lot.
They're not getting any money from me for it.
I'm not paying a dime.
No advertising, nothing.
Right, right, right.
I find AI very useful to me in various contexts, but these data centers, you know, why do we need 1500 data centers all over the country, raising the rates of electricity for all the local residents, depriving them of water.
They're going to make these regions uninhabitable, Russ.
You know, this mania for AI for data centers is going to kill America physically, destroy it.
Yeah, toss in a war.
And toss in a war on top of it.
Yep.
I couldn't agree more.
Meanwhile, We may or may not get Joaquin back.
Would be nice.
Apparently, there are a lot of arguments going on in the Supreme Court, which is worth noting.
Here's a report about it Justices exchanged angry charges.
Supreme Court justices publicly clashed in a rare display of courtroom fury, accelerating a redistricting ruling that could hand Republicans a midterm hedge while bending black voters' power in Louisiana.
Story snapshot.
Supreme Court fast tracks Louisiana v. Gallae ruling striking down MAP with two majority black districts as racial gerrymander.
GOP officials suspend House primaries, redraw MAP before 2026 midterm.
Justice Alito accuses Jackson of defending unconstitutional race based districts.
Jackson warns of judicial partiality.
Ruling narrows the scope of the Voting Rights Act, Section 2, requiring proof.
The U.S. Supreme Court decided 6 3 on April 29th, 2026, in Louisiana versus Calais, that Louisiana's 2024 congressional map violated the First Amendment.
Erica Footage Surfaces00:05:23
Russ, your thoughts?
Yeah, nothing really on that.
It just seems to be scrapping for every little political edge for the unit party.
Here's a good one.
I put that in the category of uniparty news.
I personally would rather have coffee or brunch with someone than go, I just don't drink.
I find it unproductive.
I have respect for the individuals that are in the pornography industry.
We live in a free country.
So if you want to watch it, turn on your pay per view.
Give them cleavage.
People want cleavage.
Showcase it.
Sex sells, babe.
Sex sells.
That's me.
I want to get some.
It's not within the confines of marriage.
Miss, I don't drink because it's unproductive.
Erica Kirk just got exposed in brand new footage showing her very drunk and partying with friends in New York.
You know, during that time, she claims she never went out and lived vicariously through her roommate.
So, is it finally time to ask?
Did Charlie know who he was marrying?
Now, some people are convinced that Charlie was simply deceived because he had no dating experience before meeting Erica.
However, others think he was part of the whole psyop.
And honestly, it's hard to understand how Charlie fell for Erica when she lived such a public life before him.
Beauty pageants, modeling campaigns, music videos, reality TV shows.
Plus, she was all over social media, always posting about her and her friend partying and drinking.
And yet, she somehow convinced Charlie she was this Christian conservative trad wife who saved herself for five years before meeting him.
It's not adding up no matter how you look at it.
And then it gets weirder when you realize Erica used the exact same script on her ex boyfriends.
Check out this video of Erica talking about slumber parties and sleepovers with her ex, JT Massey.
And I go to bed at like midnight or sometimes even later.
And then when we are here in Tulsa together, we don't go to bed the first night.
Until like three ish, because we stay up talking.
Because it's like a slumber party.
Right, you're catching up with your best friend.
Fast forward to now, and Erica is using this same story to talk about her sleepovers with Charlie.
And it's like 2 a.m., and I'd be like, We're having a sleepover.
This is really cool.
I have a sleepover for the rest of my life with my best friend.
Like, there's just like this hyper obsession.
I'm still heavily obsessed with my husband.
I always will be.
This is just beyond creepy at this point.
It's like the same script, but with different cast members.
But let's talk about this footage that just surfaced showing Erica partying and drinking.
This was originally posted by Erica's cousin, Nicole Rothstein, the one Erica claims was just her roommate.
And you can see in the footage Erica and Nicole living it up in New York City, going to clubs, and there's even a clip of Erica showing off liquor bottles in their apartment.
And at one point in the video, Erica appears sloppy, drunk, laughing, and stumbling around in the kitchen.
But that's not all.
There's also a video of Erica mocking some Catholic names in a museum.
Now look, if this were anyone else, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Erica is not doing anything scandalous in this footage.
Most young city people in their 20s have videos like these.
But the issue is, Erica repeatedly.
I know the saga of Erica.
Well, you know, the thing, the bottom line is she wasn't such a phony.
This wouldn't matter.
This kind of stuff wouldn't matter.
You know, because they're digging every little angle they can on her, but mostly because she's just stone cold phony.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I couldn't agree more.
Joaquin, you missed a bit of that, but it was.
Yeah.
I thought I was going to finally make it through.
Program without getting bumped.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was close.
It was close, my friend.
It was very close.
Give me a second.
She's been proven such a phony and a liar.
Everybody sees through her.
The whole public realizes she's just a fraud.
And yes, she was given to Charlie as a honeypot, you know, and she was part of his assassination.
Definitely.
Would she claim she saved herself or.
Five years for Charlie?
Are you kidding me?
Eric hasn't saved herself or anybody.
She even brings her ex boyfriend back to take over in Charlie's place.
Right.
Oh, God.
Unbelievable.
Here's one more story to cap off today.
Hilarious.
White House reveals a cure for Trump derangement syndrome.
We got a prescription here.
Treatment, trusting in Trump, listening to the national anthem, limit fake news, don't be a panicking.
Panicking?
Whatever that means.
That means people like us talking about repercussions, the things that could happen.
Stop.
Everyone, spend as much time with your family, your friends, and people you love and care about.
We don't know how much time we have left.
Use it wisely.
Support Revolution Radio, and God willing, we'll be back on Friday and we'll do it all over again.
