Freedom! US Senate candidate for Virginia Jonathan Emord joins Mike Adams...

Time Text
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and today one of my favorite guests joins me.
Jonathan Emord is running for the United States Senate in the state of Virginia.
Welcome, Jonathan Emord.
It's a pleasure to have you on today.
Great to be with you, Mike.
You are known as a very accomplished attorney, especially on health freedom issues.
You've done battle with the FDA many times over the years, and now you're running for Senate.
Why?
What's the mission here now?
Well, I really believe that within the next few years, if we don't fundamentally change the direction of our country, we're going to lose our freedoms, and we're going to live in a totalitarian state.
It's probably going to be a communist country, and I just don't want that to happen.
I don't want that to happen to you, to me, to our kids, to this country.
It's too great a country to fall into an abyss of socialism so deep that I think it would take us decades, if not generations and generations, to get out of it.
So we need to stop it now, and that's the mission.
Well, I think a lot of our viewers would say that this is a red alert critical situation.
It's either stop it now or we lose it forever.
It seems to be that way to me, and I deal with the agencies, the bureaucracy, every single day.
And I'll tell you, it's just an absolute disaster.
You have a government that's run away, that's basically working like a wrecking ball, destroying free enterprise across the country, leaving our borders entirely open, causing drug trafficking, sex trafficking to ravage the country.
Meanwhile, they defund police.
They elect anti-incarceration prosecutors who are intent on further destroying the criminal justice system.
They maintain a two-tiered system of justice.
They will drive Trump under the bus, but they leave Biden in office despite the fact that the criminal here is Biden.
He's the one who's engaged in an influence-peddling scheme that is the biggest corruption scandal in the history of our country.
It's there with no special prosecutor, no action against him.
It's horrendous.
Well, along those lines, what's your take on what New York just did to Trump with the weaponization of the judicial system?
Outrageous.
That whole case is just a gross abuse of power and a clear political attempt to harm Donald Trump.
President Trump had investments well known.
Everybody in the whole financial community fully understood what his resources were and what his investments were.
They had no hesitation in providing him with support.
The whole thing is really a consequence of blinding justice, basically disallowing justice to function in this case.
And having a judge who was biased against them, a prosecutor who would not allow evidence to come in that was really supportive, a judge that was in complicity with that.
Nobody in the whole financial community thinks they were ripped off by Donald Trump.
No person in the financial community complained.
This whole thing is a gross effort by the government to destroy his financial wealth and to make sure that he can't be re-elected as president.
Don't you find it interesting how much damage that entities like New York are doing to themselves in their effort to get their political enemies?
Let me give you two examples and then ask for your response.
So here we have New York going after Trump, but then essentially sending a message to all real estate investors that you probably shouldn't invest in any real estate in New York State at all because you might be selectively prosecuted one day.
But then also we had the United States with a swift system What do you think of these two examples of self-immolation in order to try to get our enemies?
It shows you that the government of the United States is being held hostage by a radical minority that is intent on achieving their ends at the expense of the public and at the expense of the Constitution.
Our Constitution hangs by a thread.
It's really being destroyed by people who do not care how much they ravage this nation as long as it enhances their own political and financial position.
I don't see any hope coming out of the Biden administration for a reversal in this.
It's going to take the American people rising up, getting rid of Biden and changing the composition of the Senate.
And maintaining the house.
If they're able to do that, we can have significant reforms in this country that will restore the rule of law, will protect the borders and ensure border integrity, will ensure that inflation is eliminated by getting government out of the business of this gross climate change agenda, which is nothing more than a Trojan horse for socialism.
And then enabling oil and natural gas independence again, energy independence, so that we can become an energy exporter to Europe and replace Russia in the old economic way, which will cut off the funds that Russia needs to finance the Ukraine war.
Instead what we're doing is just dumping Tens of billions of dollars in an endless stream, an endless pit that is consuming money that we need to protect our own borders.
And yet they abandon our own border protection and are giving all that money, presumably, to support Ukraine's borders.
But a lot of that's being siphoned off into corruption because they have no accountability.
They don't care.
They really don't care.
It's quite obvious about the American people, those who are ruling this country.
It's clear.
I mean, it's very clear to our audience that the so-called leaders of our country right now despise the American people.
I mean, if I had said this five years ago, that would have been considered a crazy thing to say.
Today, you have truckers for Trump now.
Carrying out an economic embargo against New York City.
Now, let me set that question up for you too, because I'd like your response on this.
I think there are two really important examples of now economic embargoes that are taking place in an asymmetrical economic warfare type of way.
One of them is the truckers.
Now, it's not going to leave the shelves empty in New York City, but it's a statement.
Some truckers will not deliver loads to New York City.
It's the beginning of something.
But the Houthis, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, have carried out essentially a naval blockade without having a navy by harassing ships in the Red Sea, and it looks like they just damaged and maybe they're going to be able to sink a ship or two, and they're targeting ships that are associated with the UK, the US, and Israel.
These two examples show us that the world's supply chain is a lot more fragile than we think, and that if you, dare I say, just using common language, if you piss off the wrong people, there are a lot of ways that they can use asymmetrical retaliation against your systems, even if you have the world's biggest military.
We have a feckless president.
One who will not respond to threats to our American military promptly, efficiently and in a devastating manner.
The only thing that the Iranians understand and their proxies understand is absolute force.
They do not understand the whole idea, they laugh at it, that you can take American money That they unfreeze the assets of Iran, they finance the Hamas rebels against Israel, and they expect these individuals who are terrorists who are receiving this money to think that the United States is a good fellow.
No, they're ideologically driven.
They're theocrats who believe that Christians ought to be executed and that Jews ought to be executed.
And they are intent on that.
And instead of recognizing them for what they are, the Biden administration puts on the rose-colored glasses, embraces those that have daggers pointing at their throats and their backs and their hearts and say, gee, you're our best friends.
This is insanity.
And the only way to restore common sense and respect for the United States in the world It's to have the United States defend its own interests with vigor and to ensure that we have a military second to none, which we are in dire straits.
We have a depleted military.
We are not in a position to maintain our interests because of the lack of spare parts, because we have a shortage of attacked submarines and nuclear submarines, and because our whole triad is really ancient and in need of repair and replacement.
But this administration will not spend one cent on that because it's all intent on climate change.
Climate is everything in this administration, even though there's no scientific evidence to support it, they nevertheless want to invest our entire GDP and then some in this pipe dream that somehow eliminating, causing us to freeze in the wintertime and boil in the summertime and have no conveniences is the causing us to freeze in the wintertime and boil in the summertime and have no conveniences is
Well, a great example of the economic damage that those policies cause is how the administration has been shoving electric vehicles, those mandates down the throats of the car companies, and yet the public doesn't want to buy those vehicles for lots of reasons, and insurance companies don't want to insure them for lots of reasons.
We don't have to go into all that.
But now car companies are having to back away from that.
They're having to reverse the tooling, the retooling that they did.
You know, the economic losses here are clearly in the tens of billions of dollars because the governments of not just the federal government, but the state of California and other states have been pushing these mandates to get rid of combustion engines.
And it's economic insanity.
It's sabotage.
It's anti-economic.
It's against basic laws of supply and demand.
The American consumer does not want a vehicle that you have to charge at the considerable expense and that depletes its battery so quickly that you have to find a charging station that doesn't exist and also depend upon, ultimately, fossil fuels to back up that entire ridiculous system of how I
mean, they're subsidizing Windmills and solar panels, those things generate electricity that is far more expensive than electricity generated by natural gas means or other means.
And so without the subsidies, no one could afford it.
And so yet these uneconomic policies, they think, can be sustained.
They're unsustainable.
They result in the ruination of our economy.
They're resulting in increased costs all across the spectrum, inflation, but they're also causing dislocations in industries, and they're hurting people.
I mean, people have to pay so much for gas, they can barely afford to drive to work.
They have to pay so much for groceries, they can barely afford to eat.
They're maxing out on their credit cards.
They're looking at a dismal future because they know that as this thing progresses, it only gets worse.
No one's naive enough to think that it's going to be better.
There's no nirvana in this, and that's the really amazing thing is.
It used to be that the Democrats, when they were in power, would at least talk about trying to do something to stop inflation.
They'd be serious about it.
They might have the wrong means, but they'd be serious about it, and protecting American citizens' lives, liberty, and property.
Here you have an administration that doesn't even give one hoot whether or not you are raped, murdered by an illegal alien, whether your drugs are pouring into your country, fentanyl, and killing off 130,000 American citizens a year.
Doesn't care in the least.
Doesn't care if there are drones flying across the border engaging in surveillance far more innumerous and intrusive than the Chinese spy balloon.
We've got these drones coming across the border that are from foreign countries and the cartels, and they're anything from Predator-style drones, massive drones that can go up 50,000 feet above sea level, or to, you know, tiny drones.
And they're coming across.
There are over 10,000 of them that go across the Rio Grande sector daily, and tens of thousands of them are coming across annually, and there are thousands of them coming across the San Diego sector every day.
Not much talked about, but here you have no defense.
They aren't sending the Air Force out to knock these down.
They aren't sending them out at all, not even a single plane.
They're not allowing CBP to shoot them down.
They aren't allowing electronic jamming of them.
They're letting them come across.
That's what's happening.
I think the feeling among the American people who are informed right now is that they are in a war.
We're all in a war, but the government is not on our side.
The government is on the side of the invaders, of the enemies, of the occupiers, and that the American people are being...
Assaulted.
They're being marginalized, if not replaced.
And we have New York City Mayor Eric Adams one day announcing that New York City is going to collapse because of the illegals.
And then a month later, here's $50 million to hand out to illegals.
How do you not understand the basics of economics?
If you create an incentive, you're going to bring more people to you.
Are you trying to collapse New York City?
Yes.
And in fact, that's the administration's goal, is to collapse the American economy, to basically make it impossible for us to function either in defense of our rights or in a free enterprise economy.
It's the Soros plan.
It's a globalist plan to destroy the United States infrastructure and greatness to make us all basically ready for slavery, to give up our rights to have security.
How do you do that?
You make people so afraid to live that they go to the government begging for help.
And that's what they tested it out with the COVID situation, how they dealt with that.
Notice, every answer they have is a centralized government plan.
that the public is demanding be addressed.
So when you talk about the open border situation, they do the illogical thing of increasing the benefits and privileges that are given to people.
They talk about giving those seeking asylum work visas.
To enable them to legally be here.
Not to enforce the rule of law, not to enforce the immigration laws.
They violate the laws, which is impeachable.
They violate the Constitution.
They act unilaterally, legislating without the Congress.
These people have no respect for our Republic, no respect for the rule of law.
Their intent on destroying The infrastructure of this country, anyone blind to that is completely blind because everywhere you look, whether it's allowing fentanyl in with no restrictions, allowing sex traffickers, drug traffickers, MS-13, 18th Street gang members all across the border, no restrictions, giving every asylum seeker welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, thousands of dollars.
If you're a family of four, over $3,000 in American cash.
Having the feds finance NGOs that buy the airfare and bus tickets and train tickets.
While American veterans are homeless on the streets, hungry and cold, and while the FBI is investigating and trying to criminalize Americans, but not those invading America.
This is what's driving people bonkers.
Uh, it's infuriating to people.
Let me, let me, let me give out your website, by the way, uh, emord4va.com.
And it's the word for is spelled out.
So E M O R D F O R V A.com emord4va.com.
And that's folks.
You can make a donation.
I have donated to Jonathan Emord's campaign.
I think I've donated the maximum allowable, legally allowable amount, by the way, because I support your campaign so much.
And tell us about your path to victory in the Senate.
You have a primary coming up, I understand.
How are things going?
Well, we're doing very well.
We're in the petition drive phase of this thing, which is really an incredible effort.
So we have 150 volunteers statewide.
Many of them are going out daily collecting signatures.
We've obtained a substantial number of signatures.
We still need to get a lot more.
March the 15th is our own goal, but it goes all the way through April if we need to.
April 4th, I think, to get all the signatures.
But it's fascinating to see a grassroots movement.
You know, some of these people, it's a real racket.
You've got people paying over $300,000 to have companies go out and get all these signatures.
Well, I'm paying for my own staff, but we have volunteers going out, and that's just because we have a grassroots effort here.
I mean, we have an enormous grassroots base, No other candidate has that base.
And as a result, we are well positioned to actually get votes.
I don't understand the campaigns that just pay money to You know, I could have saved all our money.
Instead, I invested in reaching people, talking to people, going all around the state, meeting everybody I possibly could to spread our message.
And it's resonated so well.
But these people just hoard their cash, brag about the money that they've been able to raise, and then spend it all, blow it all on some company that takes all their money away, allegedly to get them the 10,000 signatures they need to get on the ballot.
It's a racket.
Politics is a racket.
I'm a person who does not believe in giving one cent, not one cent to criminals, thieves.
I don't want them anywhere near me.
I believe in ethics.
I believe in virtue.
I think we've got to stand up for what America has made us great.
We have a magnificent constitution.
We must insist on the rule of law.
This is our fight versus these political hacks.
This is our fight versus the establishment that wants to keep everything the same, has no trouble with the open borders, really.
I mean, they're going to make money no matter what.
They're happy about the whole situation.
The worse it gets, the better they do.
Well, that's not us.
I mean, we have got to save our country.
Liberty must be something we pass on to the next generation.
I share the same values as Ronald Reagan when Ronald Reagan brought me to Washington.
He said, you know, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We did not inherit it in the bloodstream.
We have to defend it and fight for it and ensure that it's passed on to the next generation or one day in our sunset years, we'll have to say what it was once like to be free in America.
And that's where we're at.
I mean, Just think, if this continues for another 4, 6, 10 years, we're done.
I mean, we cannot survive this.
We can't survive having 30 to 40 to 50 to 60 million people in an underground illegal economy, undercutting everyone's cost for work, having employers illegally hire them.
No prosecutions are happening.
These illegal aliens are being catered to by the federal government.
They're being led to believe that they can live here illegally and that they can have a better life here illegally and that they will never be ever required to meet the standards of the law or pledge allegiance to our Constitution.
That's the whole point, you know.
The whole point is to so inundate us with people who have foreign allegiances as to obliterate our nationalism, which is one of our enormous strengths.
People in America know they're strong because they have rights protected by the Constitution that come from God.
They're unalienable.
And so we have this precious legacy of liberty that is our quintessential defining characteristic in the world.
They want to obliterate that.
They want people here who have no allegiance to the country, no respect for the Constitution, who can operate illegally and get away with it.
And they want us to lose our foothold and basically become what George Soros wants, which is make the United States so weak Make the people so vulnerable and afraid that they will give up their rights and a global government can come into being and control all of us,
turn us all into slaves in service of people like George Soros and Schwab and all the other globalists that believe that the United States' best days are long past and that they want to contribute to its destruction.
Well, yeah, we've got the WHO treaty that's about to be signed that, based on its wording, it attempts to override...
The Constitution, the rule of law at the federal level, the state and local levels as well.
I mean, it's horrendous if America allows some international body that is corrupt and pushes fraud and falsely declares stage six pandemics when they don't even exist at that point.
If we allow ourselves to be overrun by that, then are we a nation?
I mean, isn't part of the definition of a nation that you have sovereignty?
Yes, the Constitution presupposes a United States of America which has borders.
It presupposes that the Constitution will be the supreme law of the land.
In fact, it says it directly.
And so it is the obligation of the commander-in-chief to first and foremost ensure that the laws are faithfully executed and also to ensure that as commander-in-chief that we are defended against our enemies.
We have a commander-in-chief who's doing nothing to defend us against our enemies, has opened our borders to every enemy of the United States and allowing them to pour in, and he is totally wedded to this globalist WHO agenda.
He wants the WHO agenda set by the Communist Chinese, really, because the CCP controls the WHO. To control our pandemic response.
So here you have the Chinese inventing these pandemics with wild abandon, and the United States accepting it, that there are going to be more pandemics, but turning over control of the response, not to your doctor,
not to your doctor-patient relationship, but again to a centralized authority superior to the United States in this instance, And they're turning over our sovereignty in the process and they're enabling WHO to decide what is in the best interest of each patient and dictating to doctors how they're to treat by force of law domestically.
My opponent, Tim Kaine, introduced legislation that will facilitate this by allowing every public health service, local, state and national, to have direct access to your medical information, electronic access.
In real time, so they may see whether or not you are following emergency guidelines given to them by WHO through the CDC and direct physicians to prescribe in accordance with it and be able to see in real time again by having all of the physician activities monitored by the Public Health Service exactly what your physician does to you.
They want total centralized control to replace the doctor-patient relationship.
They want all your confidential medical information turned over to the government, local, state, and national.
They want centralized control over your whole life.
They want you to have a medical passport that you will have to use to get anything, whether you go to the grocery store, get on public transportation, try to go to a movie theater.
And if that shows up and you have not have the vaccine du jour that the government is advocating or mandating, You will then be deprived of your rights to travel, to go to a theater if you wish, to go to the grocery store, feed yourself.
This is what the Communist Chinese do right now.
And this is what the Biden administration would be loving to see happen to you in the United States.
That's right.
That's right.
And also, I would think your opponent, Tim Kaine, let's talk about that for a second.
So for those of you watching, if you wondered whether or not you should support Jonathan Emord, he's running against Tim Kaine, who was the VP candidate with Hillary Clinton in 2016.
So that probably tells you everything you need to know.
But Tim Kaine strikes me as another one of these, you know, globalist puppets and Every decision he makes, like many of the senators, especially on the Democrat side, every decision they make is a betrayal of America.
It's like every vote is another stab in the back for the American people.
You want to talk about what differentiates you from Tim Kaine?
Where do we begin, right?
I'm not a corrupt career politician.
I'm not a politician.
I don't want to be in Washington forever.
I want to get in there and fix this problem and get out.
Tim Kaine has been receiving money from George Soros since he ran for the mayor of Richmond over 25 years ago.
This man is linked to the Soros' so closely that on Alex Soros' Instagram page, if you go there today and just scroll down and find the picture, you'll see a picture of Alex Soros and Tim Kaine together.
And that picture says under it, from Tim Kaine, I love this man.
Wow.
This is because Hillary Clinton, this is during the Clinton-Caine campaign, Hillary Clinton had a close relationship with the Soros's.
By the way, the Soros' want to destroy the United States.
They want to have the open borders.
They advocated that early on.
They want defund the police and they're financing it.
They want anti-incarceration prosecutors and they're financing it.
So they have actively and effectively destroyed our criminal justice system.
Covering over 80% of the population of the United States are these individuals who've been put into office as a result of the corruption and the funding from George Soros.
They are intent on destroying our country.
And their bosom buddy there is Tim Kaine.
This is a man who really has never been too far apart from them in anything.
He's never introduced any legislation to try to fix the borders.
Not a single bill.
Never supported one.
Always opposed every piece of legislation that would have fixed the borders.
Completely does nothing.
Turns his back on the whole defund the police situation.
lets it go, does not do anything to stop the anti-incarceration agenda, certainly never takes any issue with Alex Soros, never objects to a single initiative from Joe Biden, not one, voted for every one of the trillion-plus spending bills that causes inflation, believes very strongly in the NEA's agenda voted for every one of the trillion-plus spending bills that causes inflation, believes very strongly in the NEA's agenda for the schools, which includes transitioning of youth and critical race theory, Marxism being taught to kids, as well as this whole gender fluidity idea,
as well as this whole gender fluidity idea, which is insane, leading kids to question who they are fundamentally and to He represents himself to the people of Virginia as a moderate.
He votes about 98% with Bernie Sanders in the Senate.
He is an absolute socialist by vote.
He's a socialist by deed.
He's a person who is wedded to the totalitarian agenda of Alex and George Soros and has been for a long time.
This guy is a fraud.
He's abused his power in support of an agenda that violates our rights.
He was the holdout on eliminating the vaccine emergency.
He had all of his colleagues, his Democrat colleagues, even saying it's time to get rid of the emergency powers, but not Cain.
He believes in centralization so greatly that even the only area where he objected to his party was in his insistence on greater centralization for a longer period of time over our lives because of the coercion and cajolery from the federal government in COVID. He wanted it to keep going.
He wanted mask mandates to keep going.
He wanted the vaccine mandates to keep going.
He strongly believes in vaccinating your kids.
Of course.
No power.
No choice in the matter.
But Jonathan, how do you plan to overcome the cheating?
I mean, this is a question that everybody's asking about the upcoming Trump election as well.
How on earth are we going to have honest elections when the ballots are counted?
They're not even serialized.
They're counted by Democrats behind closed doors.
No transparency in the middle of the night.
Mail-in ballots.
The whole deal.
How do you plan to overcome that?
Two methods, I think, need to be employed.
First of all, I think that the Republican Party and the other operatives in this thing need to have their own election integrity units.
I'm happy to say that at the local level, they do have election integrity units.
They need to become fully effectuated and functioning to report every instance of fraud that they see and to hang out where ballot harvesting takes place.
And to be basically in those positions where there are the voting boxes to make sure that they're not being stuffed or that they're not being put ballots in by people who are just coming in in large numbers from universities to drop off ballots so that we can ensure that there is ballot integrity and that every instance of fraud is identified and acted against.
We need to have the United, we need to have the sheriff's offices deputize sheriffs who are former military, former police in large numbers and train them on the risks of election fraud and have them located at each area where election fraud can happen.
Like old folks homes where they can come in and fill out the ballots and do ballot harvesting and also in these where the ballot boxes are, where they can stuff ballots in the boxes and also where they have residences where they know that there are either vacant or are in prior instances have had multiple ballots coming from locations where they know that there were not multiple families in the same units that they were insufficient.
And they need to monitor these things and ensure that there is as much protection as possible against fraud.
I see no other way.
I think this is the only way.
We don't have the majority in the General Assembly in Virginia as a result that both the Senate and the House of Delegates are controlled by Democrats.
So none of the legislation that I worked with Matt Strickland, if he were elected, none of that is there to stop the fraud.
So instead, we have to use the sheriffs, and we have to use the party, and we have to use our own campaigns to report, identify, and vigorously go after every instance that we see of fraud.
Well, I'm glad you have a top-down strategy for making that happen, and I hope that you have the resources.
I feel like if we had honest elections, we wouldn't be in this mess right now where we are in America.
It's obvious to many of us that the 2020 election was rigged, but also the 2018 congressional seats were rigged in California.
2022 had its own problems as well.
And the rigging always goes in favor of the Democrats because they're the ones that are destroying America.
Now, let me ask you this.
Let's suppose that you overcome the cheating, that you are elected by the people of Virginia to represent them in the U.S. Senate.
What's the first and most important bill that you would introduce and seek to get passed?
Well, the first bill I'll introduce will make it a federal felony to aid or cause the transitioning of anyone under the age of 18.
That's child abuse.
It's rank.
It's official abuse of children.
And that has to happen immediately.
The second bill I'll introduce will do this to the border.
It will not only provide funding for border wall construction, and it will not only provide block grants to the border states willing to defend the border to hire police and National Guard sufficient to defend the border, but it will also do this very important thing by amending the asylum laws.
It'll make it It will make it illegal for anyone seeking asylum to put one foot into the United States.
If you seek asylum under this modification of the law, they would have to do it at the U.S. Embassy in their country of origin or at an adjacent country U.S. Embassy.
I would also move all the administrative law judges that process asylums We have to deal with the cartels which means that we need to interdict the cartels because they have become independent nations terrorist states That are actually acting without any
control from the Mexican government against our country with impunity.
And we need to have special forces operations to take them out and to take out the whole chain of fentanyl distribution into the United States.
It's killing us if we don't do this.
It's anticipated this year there might be a 60% increase in the The number of deaths from fentanyl.
That would kick us over 200,000 people could die from fentanyl in this coming year.
Five people are dying a day in Virginia from fentanyl.
So we have got to take some serious steps.
Let me dig a little deeper on that one.
You're saying special forces operations to interdict the cartels.
I don't think anybody would disagree with you if those interdictions were taking place in the United States, but are you talking about going into Mexico or other countries?
I am.
I am.
And that's because the cartels are separate states.
Mexico has not controlled them.
Mexico has not taken action to shut them down or stop them.
So basically we need to support the president.
President Trump is dedicated to this.
He has made clear that he will not permit the cartels to function and send drugs into the United States and will take action as necessary.
And we need to fund that action in the Senate.
And that is because, look, this is one instance where we have an actual enemy terrorist organization funneling into the United States.
They operate in the United States.
I mean, a lot of people say, oh, it's over the border.
Well, actually, they're over the border and they're in the United States, and they do that through their agents, drug traffickers, sex traffickers, MS-13, 18th Street gangs.
All of them are connected to the cartels.
Money is going right back into the pockets of those who operate these massive multi-trillion dollar enterprises that are larger than many, many governments.
Well, I always respect how thoroughly you think through issues.
And I'm sure if you're in the Senate and you would propose this bill, you would back it up with logical, rational, evidence-based arguments.
My initial reaction, though, is I would be very concerned that we would end up with a Vietnam and Mexico.
What would you say to that?
Well, the difference is this.
We already have a Vietnam in Mexico.
In other words, we are already being the subjects of guerrilla warfare against our own country as a result of the total dereliction of the Biden administration.
So every city in this country, every suburb in this country, every school in a suburb in this country has a sex trafficking problem.
That's because of the cartels.
And every single institution in this country is inundated with drugs.
Well, they're killing us and they're sending terrorists over.
We only know of some 100 terrorists on the terrorist watch list that are in the United States, but we don't know where.
But we know there are many more terrorists.
And in fact, the drug traffickers and sex traffickers are really terrorists too.
The whole thing is a result of an enterprise that, yes, is a for-profit enterprise, but they are in cahoots with the enemies of this country and they are working to destroy the United States.
If you don't, you know, you can defend the borders in the way in which I've talked about with legislation.
But if you don't act against the cartels, we are still going to have drones delivering drugs into the United States.
There's only so much you can do defensively.
Don't go after the source of the evil, whether it is, you know, the entities that are, you know, the Quds forces, for example, that are responsible for all of the violence against American soldiers everywhere on the Middle East.
If you don't go after them like Biden has not in any sufficient way, and instead you just telegraph, okay, we're going to blow up this building tomorrow.
That's just what they do, yeah.
And that's just the cost of doing business for terrorists.
They don't mind that at all.
That doesn't do anything.
What you need to do is to eliminate them, and you have to be serious about that.
If you don't want to see American lives eliminated, you need to eliminate terrorists responsible for taking American lives.
They will take them one way or another.
It's not that these things like drugs and so forth operate on their own.
They operate as a result of people intent on causing injury without regard to the United States and our own independent rights.
Of course, they want to destroy us.
Okay, but it's clear that the United States has a sovereign interest in protecting its own border and seeing the influx of human trafficking, drug trafficking, and weapons trafficking into the United States based on the cartels.
I mean, that's right here.
That's at our doorstep.
But what business does the U.S. have putting bases and soldiers in Syria and other places where the governments have told us to get out and we refuse to get out?
Why are we there?
Well, there's a good question as to why we're in Syria.
And there are many questions related to that.
But with regard to the cartels in Mexico, I mean, they are literally attacking the United States day in, day out.
Clearly, yes.
So there's absolutely no question in my mind that it is in our keen national interest to take them out.
The question about what we're doing in Syria is a good question.
I mean, if there's a specific strategic objective, serve that specific strategic objective.
But why do you keep forces there?
You know, that doesn't make much sense.
The whole thing in the Middle East makes little sense.
Look, we completely abandoned Afghanistan.
And while withdrawal from Afghanistan may have made sense, the way we did it was absolutely reprehensible and resulted in American civilians and civilian nationals that were in alliance alignment with us being subjected to terrorist attacks because we pulled the military out first like complete idiots.
That's what this administration did.
That retreat, Jonathan, I believe emboldened America's enemies in the Middle East.
Joe Biden actually set the stage, advertised to the world that because of how he and the Pentagon ordered that retreat, the message was America's military is weak and incapable, inviting more attacks.
Exactly.
And everything is followed from that.
The invasion of the Ukraine, the attacks on our forces all throughout the Middle East, the attack on Israel, all of this and the threat of China to invade Taiwan.
All of that is really a direct result of this weak president.
On the international stage, sending mixed signals, not clear messages at all, giving the Iranians all sorts of financial help.
On the one hand, saying you're imposing financial sanctions on Russia, then on the other hand, doing nothing to disable Russia's financing of its own military effort by having 98% of its revenue coming from Europe as a result of oil and natural gas sales, which we will not allow under this administration because the climate change agenda prevents us from having energy independence here.
The whole thing is absurd.
It is a series of contradictions, but don't for a minute think that it's as a result of a lack of intent.
They intend to cause us this injury.
It started way back with the apology tour of Barack Obama.
Now, this whole idea that the United States should somehow apologize to the world, Here's the greatest nation on earth that has benefited the world over and over again.
One of the few nations in the history of the world that, after a war, did not seize territory and dedicate itself to itself, but allowed the countries that were defeated to regain control over their own lands.
And furthermore, you have a United States that has been so generous, not only from the Marshall Plan, but every time the world says any utterance of discontent, we seem to pour massive amounts of money their way, even at our own expense.
That somehow the United States owes the world an apology.
Well, you know, the world really owes the United States an apology.
I mean, I don't know about you, but I was told that independence, being independent and carrying your own weight was a good thing and that you ought to strive to do that as an individual.
Well, we've been financing Europe.
We've been financing, you know, the rest of the world.
And it's high time that the rest of the world picked up a lot of its own expenses.
Expenses in NATO, for example.
NATO is the perfect example.
Why are we funding the defense of Western Europe?
And then also, you know, bombing Nord Stream and cutting off the energy supply and then blocking exports from Texas of liquid natural gas to punish Texas.
But that leads me to my next question, which is, If we don't get this country back under the control of reasonable people who abide by the Constitution and who answer to God and the Constitution instead of the globalists, then do you see that we are on a path of a ratcheting up of...
Not quite civil war, but discontent, secession.
I mean, we saw Texas refuse the Supreme Court decision and say, we're not going to lift the barbed wire, we're going to protect our border.
And then 25 other states went along with Texas.
We have not seen that kind of thing before, not that I'm aware of.
Well, this president really is, you know, on the brink of utter disaster every moment because of his idiocy.
His decision to basically sell out to the globalists, to sell out to communists domestically, and to enable the United States to have a total centralized system of government which destroys the economy.
These things are things that, you know, sooner or later every American feels.
And we're feeling it now.
It'll only get worse.
Every American's feeling it.
It hurts.
And it's going to get a lot worse.
Well, At some point, there's only so much we can take before we start saying, okay, you know what, we're not taking this anymore.
I'm hoping that it's 2024 because I believe that's the last year for us to save our country.
And I think if we don't save our country in the presidential and congressional elections this year, that we are going to witness one of the most rapid destructions of American interests globally.
We're going to see Taiwan invaded.
We're going to see the Russians increase their activity, not only against the Ukraine, but against the rest of Europe.
We're going to see Iran become so tyrannical and exporting of its revolution to the rest of the world that they're actually going to think that domestically acts of terror can be the catalyst to achieving a theocratic dictatorship in the United States.
The Muslim Brotherhood is already working in the United States to that end.
And so unless we have a very strong reverse of this direction, And support for America's best interests and rebuilding of the American military and rebuilding of the American economy.
We are going to witness a decline that's precipitous.
And what's going to happen is, you know, you're going to see people saying, OK, well, you know what?
Wow, that happened so fast.
What am I going to do?
And people are going to be angry.
And then you're going to see people say, OK, well, you're not going to take my guns.
You're not going to tell me that you're going to give me welfare and then I get something that I can't even afford to buy a loaf of bread with.
You're not going to see me be Venezuela and be OK about that.
You're not going to Venezuela my America.
And people start saying that.
And you're going to see it all over the place.
And you're going to start.
And then if they are unable because of corruption, To take control of the reins of government and bring it back then.
Well, yes, I think then you would see the potential for a real revolution in America.
And I'm hopeful that that will not happen.
I do not want to see any bloodshed in this country like that.
No, I don't either.
But I want to throw in another factor that you did not mention there, which is all of the illegals coming across the border that are actually planning on sabotage operations domestically.
Some Middle Eastern terrorists, for example, have crossed the border.
Some people who maybe weren't Middle Eastern terrorists have become radicalized because of America's support for providing weapons to Israel and what's happening with Palestine and Gaza and so on.
So you're going to have a certain number of people in the U.S. who came across illegally who are going to pick up a suicide vest or mortars or who knows whatever they can get their hands on and do some real damage domestically to our infrastructure, which could include ports and railroads.
Yes, go ahead.
Exactly.
Not only that, and that's happening right now.
I mean, the efforts are underway and you have foreign agents all over the United States, not least of which are Chinese agents.
But you also have, you know, agents from the Middle East and from North Korea and from other countries that are socialist countries that are all interested in taking apart the United States.
And they've been allowed to come through our borders with impunity.
But it's not just overt acts of terrorism.
It's also terrorism through other means that is actually happening.
So you have these people running for elected office, getting on the school board, getting into teaching positions at the university and in the schools, having foreign funding for that.
Getting into the boards of education of the states, getting into the health and human services area, getting into regulatory agencies that have direct information and control over the food supply, over the water purification, on and on and on and on.
They are intentionally infiltrating Every part of our government and they are working through nefarious means to advance the very systems that we're talking about that are destructive of the United States.
Critical race theory, exploiting our Our grid so that we are vulnerable so that they can actually cause acts of terror to happen.
So it's not just the person who comes up with an explosive device and blows it up or shoots a number of people in a location or stabs them or something of that sort.
that's one form of terror but the other form of terror not identified as such but very much is as much of a threat to our lives and our liberty and our property is the takeover of institutions necessary for the maintenance of infrastructure and for the survival of our people and this is happening yeah that is happening in spades uh
I'm so grateful that you are aware of the real threats that the United States of America faces from so many angles.
You've covered just a few of the vectors here today.
In the interest of wrapping this up, and I thank you for spending time with us today, what would you want to leave our audience with as the number one reason Why you can make a difference in the Senate.
I mean, let me just state this.
I think the American people are fed up with Mitch McConnell, number one.
The American people, by and large, they love Rand Paul, what Senator Paul is doing.
In Texas, we're pretty fond of Senator Cruz, for example, and he does a lot of great work.
Not 100% on every issue, but nobody is, but he cares about Texas and the people of Texas.
I know you care about the people of Virginia as well as all Americans, but what should people, when they think of Jonathan Emord for Senate, what should come to their mind from that?
Freedom.
Individual liberty.
That's what it's all about.
We will either be a free people, And survive for all time, or we will die by suicide.
That's from Abraham Lincoln.
That's the motivating factor my whole life, whether it's been attacking the administrative state and beating them in federal court and doing so a record eight times, or it has been in all of my writings, all of my advocacy.
I have been consistently advocating for the defense of individual liberty.
Freedom of choice.
Making sure that the quintessential defining characteristic of our great country, that we are free, always be that quintessential defining characteristic.
And it is on the chopping block.
And we are facing its destruction.
And we have to act to save it.
That's why I'm running.
I don't want my children to be slaves to a government that is a totalitarian regime.
I want them to be free.
I want them to have the liberty that I've enjoyed plus I don't want them to have a regulatory state.
I don't want an administrative state interfering with their freedom of discretion and choice.
I want them judged based on their merits.
I want equal justice under law.
I want clear criminal law.
I don't want prior restraints from a regulatory state that does a gotcha program with every business and every person who engages in entrepreneurship in this country.
I want us to get back to the core values of this country, the core principles that define us as a free people.
If we can do that, then we will survive as a free people.
If we don't, Then we won't.
And if we don't, this is the last best hope for freedom on Earth.
Once it's gone here, you will find it nowhere else.
It doesn't exist anywhere else.
This is the only country in the history of the world that has said that your rights come from God, not from government.
This is the only country in the history of the world that said that governments are instituted for the very purpose of protecting the rights of the governed.
And yet, both of those fundamental principles have been violated with impunity by this administration.
It's time for a change.
Well stated.
Jonathan E. Moore, thank you so much for your time and for your love for this country and the principles upon which it was founded.

Today's segment is brought to you by Goldbacks, which is what I'm holding in my hands right here.
This is a stack of Goldbacks, and these contain actual verified physical gold in every one of the Goldbacks.
These are labeled ones, and they contain one one-thousandth of a troy ounce of gold.
It's actually built into the note itself.
You can find more information about this at my website, verifiedgoldbacks.com, which is our affiliate site.
We do earn a small percentage on your purchases here that helps support the program.
This shows my laboratory testing results where I tested using a kiln method, an ICP-MS mass spec method, and also an acid stone method.
I tested the gold mass, there it is on analytical balance, and the gold purity for each of the different bills that That are available here, the denominations.
Now, goldbacks are available in 1s, 5s, 10s, 25s, and 50s.
And what's amazing about them is that they make gold spendable and highly divisible.
Normally, you can't take a gold coin and just hand somebody one one-thousandth of a coin.
That's almost impossible to carry out.
But with goldbacks here, I can do that.
This is one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold in my hands, verified.
I know the gold is actually in here.
You can melt it down and get the gold.
And so I can give this to somebody as a gift or as payment or in exchange, and it makes gold spendable.
And unlike crypto, it doesn't require the power grid to function.
It doesn't require the internet to function.
This is off-grid money.
It's outside the banking system, and it doesn't require electricity to function.
This is a stack of 100 of the Goldback Ones, and you can buy these stacks at verifiedgoldbacks.com.
Let me show you actually the recovery percentages here.
If you scroll down, oh, there's some of the gold foil that you get when you melt a 50.
That's what it looks like in my hand there.
This is one of the kilns that we use.
And continuing, here's the recovery right here.
We recovered 102% on the minimum and about 107% maximum from these gold-backed bills.
So in every case, we recovered more than 100%.
And that's what these masses are here.
Phase two, this is the final mass.
And it shows you how that's more than what was expected.
So you're actually getting all the gold that's promised and a little bit more.
And here's the purity numbers.
We found very small parts per million traces of magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, silver, and lead, which shows that this is over 24 karat gold.
And, by the way, this is always very common in gold.
You're going to get some impurities, and that's why it's called 24 karat and not 100% pure gold.
Anyway, we did acid stone test results and so on.
You can check out all of this at verifiedgoldbacks.com.
Get these into your hands.
They're gorgeous to look at.
People absolutely love them.
They love them as gifts.
And, again, it's instantly spendable money.
Assets with real physical gold in them, which means you don't have to have faith and trust in a government for these to hold value.
No government issues these.
No government even recognizes them as currency.
No.
They're gold, which transcends every government and has outlasted every government in the history of the world.
Gold will be here when the dollar collapses.
Gold will be here when the yen collapses, when the euro collapses, when the United States of America as a government collapses.
Gold will still be here, and gold will still hold value.
So do your own research.
Don't take this as financial advice, of course.
I'm not your financial advisor, but I'm adding these to my own preparedness activities because I recognize the practical utility of these.
And in my experience, everybody that I've handed them to has instantly recognized their value, and frankly, they want more of them.
So check it out, VerifyGoldbacks.com.
Thank you for watching today.
I'm Mike Adams.
Take care.
