Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Friday, March 29th, 2024.
Mike Adams here and today our special interview is with Roger Stone.
We've got some breaking news from Roger.
We will get to that in a minute.
We also have more details of the intelligence analysis of the attack on the Baltimore Bridge.
It's starting to feel a lot like 9-11 where the corporate media...
Just lies and covers it up and says, no, buildings always just fall down even when they're not hit by airplanes.
I'm talking about Building 7.
Just like they're saying, oh, no, this boat just randomly just turned and slammed directly into the pillar and there's nothing to see here.
Move along.
But, in fact, intelligence analysis is showing that there's a lot more to this.
It looks more and more like a deliberate attack.
I mean, I'm convinced it was a deliberate attack.
So we'll have an update on that via Laura Logan's post.
And then also, we've got additional information now about the terrorism attack in Moscow at the Krokus Theater there.
New information tying the attackers reportedly to some cryptocurrency transactions coming out of Ukraine.
So we'll get to that as well.
And then we have some other stories about the city of Houston going bankrupt, by the way, just announced by the mayor of Houston and a whole lot more.
We've got banks going crazy in terms of tyranny against their own customers in order to appease their tyrannical governments.
Just some insane news and also the acceleration of CBDCs through the SWIFT system.
There's this mad race on now globally to try to build...
Either a global slave currency system through SWIFT and CBDCs run by central banks, versus the competing system, which is decentralized cryptocurrency, you know, Bitcoin, Monero, or other peer-to-peer currency systems that do not rely on centralized governments and actually can't be censored and can't be confiscated and so on.
Fascinating news today.
First, a quick cultural note.
Did you know that in Taiwan, the name for athlete's foot is literally Hong Kong foot?
Yeah.
In Chinese, the way Hong Kong is pronounced is shanggang, and foot is jiao.
So Hong Kong foot is shanggang jiao, means you have athlete's foot.
I wonder how the Hong Kong people feel about that, by the way.
Is that...
Is everybody in Hong Kong have athlete's foot?
No, the answer is no.
But that's just an interesting, kind of like in the history of the U.S., we name diseases based on different countries or regions, like MERS. What does MERS stand for?
M-E-R-S, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.
Well, why is it called Middle East?
Turns out it didn't even come from the Middle East.
It's kind of a weird way to kind of disparage all Middle Eastern people as if they're all walking around with respiratory viruses or something.
But anyway, there are many examples of that throughout history.
Moving on, just a little side note for you here.
Check this out.
Here's a story from RT. We got a lot from RT today, actually.
The army needs more people.
Israel will force ultra-Orthodox Jews to serve as patience among seculars runs out.
Now, The subhead is they have no intention of serving in the IDF, but the patience of seculars is about to run out.
Did you know that ultra-Orthodox Jews do not have to serve in the military?
I did not know that.
I guess it's another great advantage of being a Zionist is you can just say, well, you know, God chose us to not serve in the military.
So there's, of course, compulsory military service in Israel for everybody else.
They've tried to recruit ultra-Orthodox Jews into the military, but it has been resisted.
Even though the ultra-Orthodox Jews are 12.5% of the population.
Did you know that?
That's a pretty big chunk.
So they've had exemptions from military service since it seems, since 1948, if I'm reading this correctly.
Some of them have volunteered to serve in the IDF, but for the most part, they've just said, no, let the non-Orthodox Jews fight for us.
Yeah, interesting, right?
So there's a quote in this story from someone named Farber.
And Farber is a Haredi journalist who The ultra-Orthodox community who did serve in the IDF, and he says, quote, the majority of the Haredes do not serve because they're afraid that in the military they will be exposed to a variety of different opinions.
They are likely to encounter soldiers from the LGBT community, and they will serve with women.
And this can weaken their religious beliefs.
Something the rabbis are worried about.
Hmm.
So many comments to think about here.
I was serving with women and they were just so hot.
I could no longer be an ultra-Orthodox Jew.
Sorry.
I went for the women.
That kind of thing.
Here's a question.
They're afraid to encounter LGBT people.
I thought we were told that The rabbis and the Israelis and the Jews there, the ultra-Orthodox Jews, were such a superior race.
They're so open-minded and so progressive.
And no, they don't want to serve with women or LGBT, it turns out.
They don't want to serve at all.
Not willing to fight.
Everybody else has to fight for them.
Wow, yeah, because they're chosen by God, of course, right?
My only question is, will they wear the same black hats on the battlefield?
That's what I want to know.
Or will they don the IDF helmets?
Because it would sure be a clown show to see the black hats running around the battlefield while carrying their sniper rifles and trying to shoot Palestinian children with their little black hats on.
I mean, yes, bad imagery all around.
But doesn't it make you wonder...
Why does Israel need to start drafting this whole group of people that represent 12.5% of the population?
Obviously, Israel's running out of soldiers.
Netanyahu will never admit it.
They won't say that publicly.
And of course, they hide the true casualties.
But Israel's running out of soldiers, which means that they're taking a lot of casualties.
There's a whole lot of IDF soldiers that are gone.
Now, granted, a lot more Hamas have been killed, and Palestinians who are not Hamas have been killed, obviously like 35,000 plus, according to the reports there.
But I wonder how many IDF soldiers have been killed in this process, especially if a lot of the IDF, if they are LGBT, if they are like ultra-woke, not ultra-Orthodox, but ultra-woke, I would imagine they're not very good soldiers.
They're not very good at the business of war.
Not like the Russians are.
You know what I mean?
So, not even like Hezbollah.
You know, Hezbollah doesn't have an LGBT brigade.
They're just ass-kicking, you know, like professional killers, man.
You don't want to mess with them.
Alright, let's move on to some domestic news before we get carried away there.
But I will have some comments about Israel with my interview with Roger Stone and what Trump said recently.
So that'll be interesting.
Stay tuned for that.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire says the city of Houston is broke after decades of overspending that has stopped them from being able to pay firefighters.
Yeah, this is from the UK Daily Mail.
The mayor is proposing a 5% cut across the board except for fire and police.
And it says tax hikes and increased fees across the city are likely.
So, well, it's actually kind of refreshing to hear some Democrat politician sort of tell the truth.
We're broke!
Now, of course, Houston can't print money like the U.S. Treasury can, or the Federal Reserve, technically.
So Houston has to somehow, you know, figure out a way to not go into total bankruptcy.
So he's actually proposing a 5% cut across the government of the city of Houston.
And this is because there was a big lawsuit with the firefighters, and the firefighters drained the city.
It was something like $600 million, if I'm remembering correctly.
There was some kind of settlement.
Here it is, $650 million over five years.
Right.
Let's see.
In the 1970s, it says here Houston spent $3 billion on a light rail system that is performing horribly.
I've never even seen a light rail system in Houston.
I have no idea.
Fire and first responders were not getting the pay, the back pay, the overtime pay, and the raises that they were promised.
So, well, looks like there's going to be a 5% cut across the board.
I say...
That's a good start.
Should be more like 55% cut across the board.
And why stop there?
Interestingly, by the way, the state of Texas ran a $33 billion surplus last year.
Wow, that's almost unheard of.
How cool is that?
$33 billion surplus.
And Houston right now is the fourth most populous city in the U.S., and it's on track to become perhaps the highest population in America.
But that would take many years, and probably the United States of America will collapse long before that happens.
Okay, in related news from Breitbart.com, which is Israel's public relations front, more EV fail as Ford drastically cuts Detroit workforce.
A local media outlet in Detroit said, Ford will drastically cut the number of hourly workers at its factory that builds the Ford F-150 Lightning as sales of electric vehicles slow.
The pace is falling well short of the industry's ambitious timetable.
Yeah, because people don't want EVs shoved down their throats.
Yeah.
So out of the 2,100 workers...
Who make up the three work crews at the Dearborn facility, only one-third will remain.
Ford's going to move 700 workers to another Michigan plant, and the final 700 will be offered an early retirement package, or they'll take a reassignment somewhere else, like, hit the road, Jack!
Now, of course, it didn't help Ford that they went all totally woke.
And they had Joe Biden driving their stupid F-150 Lightning pickup truck around, but he wasn't even driving it.
He had a fake steering wheel.
And the driver was actually in the passenger seat because it was one of these training F-150s.
They couldn't even trust Joe Biden to drive a pickup truck.
Remember that?
It's like the thing you would do to a child.
Like, here, have a steering wheel so you can play like you're driving.
That's what Joe Biden did, trying to push Ford.
So Ford's totally woke, involved in all kinds of corporate evil things.
Anybody who buys a Ford vehicle is actually subsidizing corporate evil in America, and people don't want EVs.
Turns out Toyota got it right.
Toyota is the one car company that avoided EVs and just went with hybrids, which turned out to be what people want.
They want hybrids.
It still has a combustion engine.
You can still put gas in it, and you can go.
You don't have to wait hours at a recharging station.
All right, now let's go to the analysis of the Baltimore Bridge situation.
More information from Laura Logan here.
She says she talked to her intelligence analysts and they believe that this attack on the Baltimore Bridge was designed to achieve two basic things.
Number one is called penetration testing, basically a probing attack To watch how the U.S. responds to it and to identify vulnerabilities.
And they found out, well, America's quite vulnerable.
Now, granted, the first responders there did probably a really amazing job, but the infrastructure is vulnerable.
All it takes is one ship to take out a major logistics artery of the East Coast.
And the second point was a shaping operation.
Which was to set the conditions and prepare the battlefield for a future event.
And Laura Logan explains that a lot of these recent events may not really be isolated, like the Ohio, Palestine, Ohio chemical disaster, the train derailment, the fires at the food processing plants and so on.
But these might actually be part of a multifaceted shaping operation to determine what is possible and to set things in motion so that these can be simultaneously triggered in a future event that would paralyze the U.S. economy or paralyze transportation or drive fear into the hearts and minds of the American people with some kind of coordinated attack.
And that's something that I've called, by the way, Purge Day or Activation Day, where many of the illegals that have been pre-positioned in the United States, they came across the open border as enemy combatants with the purpose of being staged inside the battlefield. they came across the open border as enemy combatants with
They will be given We're good to go.
Or to kill all the local police or some other act of terrorism to sabotage a bridge.
I've specifically mentioned bridges and railroads and ports, water treatment facilities and so on, and refineries as well.
This may all be part of an accelerating pattern.
Laura Logan says they use the media to create the assumptive narrative.
They do not want the facts analyzed because they do not want people processing the truth.
Truth leads to questions that they do not want asked.
Well, we saw this with the East Ohio-Palestine train accident.
You weren't allowed to ask questions about it.
They said, everything's fine.
Nothing to see here.
There are no dioxins, no pollution, no chemicals, even like this black demonic plague cloud, you know, thundering into the sky over, well, Ohio and Pennsylvania and even parts of New Jersey.
And you're supposed to think, oh, that's totally normal.
All good.
Yeah, because the media told you everything's fine.
Same thing with this bridge disaster.
Everything's fine.
Nothing to see here.
Don't worry about it.
It's all good.
And then she brings up the GPS hack.
Now, this is something that I had not mentioned before.
But you know how Russia has quite elaborate electronic warfare jamming systems?
Well, there are also GPS hacking systems.
And the CIA has this technology, by the way.
So they can do a GPS spoofing where they can feed a false GPS signal to a targeted vessel or a targeted airplane or a targeted drone.
And they can convince that they can basically overpower the GPS coming from satellites with a locally broadcast stronger GPS signal.
So as Laura Logan says, with many years of experience in spoofing the tactic used in cyber warfare to hack into someone's system, and deceive them in order to achieve a certain outcome, they recognize multiple indicators watching the video that tell them the GPS signal they recognize multiple indicators watching the video that tell them the GPS signal
It would have led them to believe, she's talking about the people on the ship, that they were not as close to the bridge as they were, and it may be why in the video you see the crazy lean to port and then to hard starboard as they realize that they were not on course in spite of the GPS indicating they were.
So...
Yeah, this could have easily been a GPS spoofing attack, and that would not have required any access to the computers on board the ship, by the way.
So GPS spoofing, when a lot of these ships are on autopilot, if suddenly the ship thought it was outside the lane where it's allowed to sail, it would have done a hard course correction to get back into the lane.
And that's what we saw in that video.
A hard turn directly into the pillar.
Absolutely could have been a GPS spoofing attack.
So, Laura Logan talks about how these kinds of events have engineered complexity where they throw in all these nonsensical variables to distract you from the questions that really matter and to cause information overload.
They have a lot of decoys to distract you from the truth.
And she says they're also trying to reframe the issue by focusing on details that don't matter.
Like, you know, what was the nationality of the workers on the bridge?
You know, that doesn't matter so much, probably, to what actually caused this, unless you think the bridge workers themselves were part of, like, a GPS spoofing team.
I suppose that's possible, but not likely, since most of them died by, you know, falling into the river, so it probably wasn't them carrying it out.
Now, then there was another tweet by Tyler Rogoway, who says that two of the fastest U.S. sea lift ships, these are sea vessels with large cranes on them, have been trapped by the Baltimore Bridge collapse.
The blocked entrance to the port of Baltimore has stranded a total of four cargo ships that are on call to support U.S. military operations.
Now, at the same time, Russia is now deploying its naval assets to the Red Sea and announcing a joint naval exercise with some African nations.
And so Russia is going to be in the Red Sea with its naval vessels.
The U.S. Navy sea lift ships with the large cranes that can help repair or salvage or move cargo or things like that, they're trapped in the port of Baltimore because of this bridge collapse, which could have been carried out by a GPS spoofing attack that they're trapped in the port of Baltimore because of this bridge collapse, which by the way.
Perhaps timed to trap U.S. naval assets in Baltimore and disrupt East Coast logistics just as Russia, perhaps, I don't have any proof of this, but perhaps Russia is prepared to start attacking the United States Navy in the Red Sea alongside the Houthis that now have been testing hypersonic missiles.
Maybe there's going to be a coordinated attack because Hezbollah itself also has, of course, anti-ship missiles, quite elaborate anti-ship missiles.
And Russia has probably reached a boiling point over the West trying to seize its assets, the nearly $300 billion in assets.
And it might be that because of this terrorist attack, which we'll get to, the one in the Krokus Theater in Moscow, which has now been linked to the West, it might be that Russia is preparing a massive retaliation and The attack on the Baltimore Bridge was, again, a way to disrupt U.S. naval assets in preparation for that larger attack.
So, I mean, we do need to start connecting the dots on this.
Now, let's talk about the Crocus City Hall attack here.
And this story comes from RT. A couple of things here.
So far, I think it's over 150 people have reportedly died, or maybe it's 140.
But it's a very large number.
This was a brazen attack.
It was immediately blamed on ISIS, which actually made no sense.
The attackers did not act like ISIS attackers.
For example, they did not seem to be willing to die in the attack.
They actually tried to flee.
They didn't act like mission driven, you know, Islamic attackers that which typify ISIS.
Those attackers typically they know they're going to die in the attack and they keep on fighting until they die.
And that's not what happened here.
And in addition, by the way, in Islam, you're not supposed to carry out aggression during Ramadan.
So, you know, it doesn't seem like these attackers were actually tied to ISIS at all.
That sounds like a cover story.
And then they have already admitted reportedly that they plan to escape across the border to Ukraine.
So they had some kind of contacts in Ukraine that were supposed to be helping them to exfil the area.
Well, a Russian investigative committee has now stated, based on preliminary findings, that the perpetrators had received significant sums of money from Ukraine.
They've obtained what they call substantiated evidence.
Now, we haven't seen that yet, so take it with a grain of salt.
But Russia says they obtained a substantial evidence that the suspected assailants received funding from Ukraine in the form of cryptocurrency, which was used to prepare the terrorist attack.
And then law enforcement officers have identified and detained another suspect who was involved in financing the attack.
And there are so many points to mention here.
If they use Bitcoin, Bitcoin's traceable.
It's fully transparent.
There's nothing private about Bitcoin.
I don't know what cryptocurrency they used, but clearly they did not use Monero or a privacy coin.
Otherwise, nobody would know where the money came from.
But in this case, apparently it's been traced.
That is, if we believe what this Russian investigative committee is stating, apparently this has been traced and that probably means it was Bitcoin.
Now, a big disclaimer here.
Not everybody is going to believe what Russia says about this.
But I tell you who I don't believe.
I don't believe the U.S. State Department one hour after the attack stating, oh, Ukraine was not involved.
We know that for sure.
How do you know that in one hour?
How could you possibly know that?
There hasn't even been an investigation.
Unless you know who carried this out, which probably the West was involved in this one way or another.
But for them to say, oh, it couldn't have been tied to Ukraine, that's, you know, I doth protest too much, right?
Come on.
But another question about this is that some of these attackers were apparently beaten up quite a lot by Russian law enforcement.
They may have been subjected to torture.
It seems likely that they have been.
been subjected to torture, then whatever they've told investigators may not be very credible, because when people are tortured, they will say whatever they think the torturer wants them to say, you know, anything to make the torture stop.
So we need to keep that in mind as well.
And since Russia has not yet presented actual evidence, they've just said they have evidence, you know, we need to keep a skeptical mind here, and not just automatically believe, you know, Russia's investigative committee.
I mean, if they're saying that cryptocurrency funded these guys, show us the blockchain transaction.
They can actually point out the ID number of the blockchain transaction where everybody could go onto the blockchain and see it and verify it, but they haven't done that yet.
So that's my question, is why not just release You know, the actual blockchain details.
Personally, I think this attack on the Crocus City Hall was one of Victoria Nuland's, quote, nasty surprises.
I think Victoria Nuland is one of the most evil people on the planet.
I think she could have been involved in this.
No question.
I'm not saying, I don't have proof that she was, but she was involved in the 2014 coup in Ukraine.
She's been running all kinds of horrible ops, even for the Bush administration and Dick Cheney and so on, for a couple of decades.
She is a wretched, evil, demonic entity living in a human skin bag, and she will burn in hell.
For the crimes against humanity in which she has been involved during her time across multiple administrations in the United States.
This has Victoria Nuland's fingerprints all over it as far as I'm concerned.
This is classic Victoria Nuland type of behavior.
She even threatened it because she has a big mouth and she has to brag about it, just like Joe Biden bragged about how we're going to destroy the Nord Stream pipeline.
Yeah, bragged about it, you know, before it happened.
You know, he said, trust me, we'll find a way to do it.
A lot of people have forgotten about that video clip of Joe Biden promising to destroy Nord Stream, by the way.
And the US did.
And Victoria Nuland promised to destroy Nord Stream, by the way.
And then the US did.
So this is right in line with their behavior.
Now, I've got a special report about Western Europe that we're going to play here, a little under 20 minutes.
And it's about how Western European leaders are suicide cultists, really.
I mean, the greatest threat to Western Europeans is not Russia.
It's their own leaders.
And Germany and France in particular, but also the UK, have forgotten Russia.
What Russia and the Soviet Union, you know, the former Soviet Union, actually did to defeat fascism in Europe, to defeat the Third Reich, that was mostly a Soviet defeat.
I mean, the Soviets defeating Hitler, I should say.
And France doesn't even remember that now.
France should be thanking modern-day Russia for what the Soviets did in World War II. France was being overrun by Nazi occupation.
And the UK was threatened.
And other, obviously, European countries were already occupied and taken over.
Where's Italy's thanks to modern-day Russia for the history of what happened in World War II? Of course, Italy was siding with the fascists at that time.
But Western European leaders are absolutely insane, and they are driving Western Europe into a suicide cult.
I mean, a suicide event.
Western Europe, if it stays on its current path, will not survive much longer.
It will be obliterated by its own leaders.
The EU will fall.
The euro will collapse.
The nations of Germany and France and the UK and others will also collapse.
You know, Poland may survive.
Austria will be threatened.
The Nordic countries are going to be in real trouble.
Switzerland probably won't survive if everything stays on its current path.
So listen to this podcast.
I'll be back on the other side with additional news, and then we'll get into the bombshell news-breaking interview with Roger Stone.
There's something wrong with the leaders of Europe, Western Europe in particular.
I mean, they're broken.
There's a bug in the software code of their neurology.
They're faulty humans because they think that they can defeat Russia by sending six F-16s.
To Ukraine.
And Macron in particular is a madman who thinks that a couple thousand French troops are going to turn the tide of the war.
And Western European leaders, they have forgotten history.
They've forgotten what happened in World War II. And in World War II, it was primarily Russia, the Soviet Union, that defeated the Third Reich.
It was the Soviets who sacrificed anywhere from 20 to 40 million people in defeating Adolf Hitler and the German army.
And it was the Soviets who therefore paid the highest price...
And had the most at stake.
Because, of course, the German army at the time was, you know, expanding eastward to try to take over Russia and to take the resources that Russia had.
You know, at that time, the Third Reich was in desperate need of additional oil, you know, energy and mineral resources in order to expand their military.
So they needed Russia's energy because Russia sits on...
The largest energy deposits in the world, even today.
Something like one-third of the entire energy resources of the world are located within Russia.
And remember that not only were the Nazis defeated in World War II, but the French were defeated.
Early 1800s, Napoleon tried to conquer Russia.
That failed.
Russia beat them back, battered the French army all the way back to Paris, and for a moment, Russia occupied Paris and decided not to destroy France.
Well, today, Macron has no memory of the history of his own country, and the leaders of Germany have no memory of World War II. And frankly, the mercy that was shown upon them by Russia in World War II. You know, after the fall of Hitler, the fall of Berlin, Russia had the means to literally exterminate every German citizen.
Russia could have wiped out Germany.
They chose not to because they did not want to be involved in genocide.
And then here we are, fast forward to 2024, where the German leaders is actively trying to commit genocide to exterminate all Russians.
And the same thing with France's leaders.
They want to wipe out Russia.
And the same thing with the United States.
They absolutely want to wipe out Russia.
If you're looking at this from Russia's point of view, this is not a Putin thing.
This is about the cultural memory of the nation of Russia.
Then you're thinking, you know, my God, we showed mercy to the French.
We showed mercy to the Germans.
They even showed mercy to the United States in the aftermath of World War II. They reached an agreement to not have Russia expand westward based on the trust of America, primarily, saying that NATO would not expand eastward.
And that trust has been violated.
But if you're Russia looking at this, you're like, My God!
All these countries are unreliable.
Their leaders are insane.
These are untrustworthy, immoral nations.
And then when you hear the recorded conversation of now the German military leaders plotting to destroy the Crimean Bridge, And you see talk of the West trying to, you know, scrounge up, what, $60 billion more for Ukraine and to have more weapons, more F-16s, more missiles and everything in order to destroy Russia.
And the West has seized Russia's $300 billion in assets, nearly, held in Western banks.
Then from Russia's point of view, you're like, you're probably thinking, you know, we can't coexist with these people.
With these dishonest, immoral nations, they steal our gold, they pirate our ships in the seas, they don't keep their promises on treaties, they repeatedly forget their history and try to reconquer Russia again.
They want to steal our resources.
And if you're Russia, you're probably thinking enough is enough.
And I'm trying to explain this to my mostly American and somewhat European audience because you need to understand your strategic opponents in order to not destroy the world in a nuclear holocaust.
You need to be able to talk to Russia, which means you need to be able to understand where Russia is coming from.
But the attitude of the West is that Putin is Hitler and that we can't talk to Russia because Putin is Hitler.
There's nothing to negotiate.
That we just have to completely obliterate and destroy Russia.
Well, guess what?
That doesn't work.
And Russia has heard that before.
And Russia has defeated that before.
Numerous times.
Even more examples than what I just gave you.
And Russia is prepared to do that again.
Russia is not losing the war with Ukraine.
Russia is winning the war.
Ukraine has lost.
Russia is not losing the war on military weapons development.
They're winning the war.
They have the most advanced weapons, hypersonic missiles, anti-air defense systems, hyperglide reentry vehicles on their ballistic missile systems.
You know, nuclear-tipped hypersonic missiles and the new Sarmat-2, which is also being deployed right now, as well as, you know, electromagnetic warfare, jamming weapons.
They can jam guidance systems of the weapons of the West.
They can jam aircraft of the West.
And then there's Russia's drones, and it just goes on and on and on.
Russia has the most advanced weapon systems on the planet, probably because Russians are damn good engineers.
They're just really smart engineers, really good at math and physics and chemistry and rocketry and all, you know, telemetry, these kinds of sciences.
Russia's very good at those things.
Meanwhile, the West is just hiring a bunch of woke idiots to run companies like Boeing or, you know, the weapons companies, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon.
They're more concerned about woke virtue signaling than actually building weapons that work.
Russia is not focused on wokeism.
They're focused on building weapons that kill the enemy on the battlefield.
That's why Russia's weapons work better.
That's why Russia is winning in Ukraine.
So the question is, will the West ever learn this difficult lesson that every time you try to destroy Russia, you end up getting destroyed yourself?
And if you aren't willing to enter negotiations with your geopolitical opponents or military opponents, then, in effect, you've already lost.
And that's where the West is right now.
The West has lost Western Europe.
And in a desperate attempt to destroy Russia, the West has actually destroyed Western Europe.
Number one, by destroying the Nord Stream pipeline, but secondly, by destroying the currencies of the West.
The dollar and the euro will both collapse.
The ruble will outlast the dollar.
Russia will outlast the United States of America.
You will see the fall of Washington, D.C. relatively soon.
You will not see the fall of Moscow.
And you know what's actually kind of ironic and a little bit sad about that is that it was a Soviet former intelligence official, Yuri Bezmenov, who escaped the Soviet Union, came to the United States, and warned America back in the 1980s.
He was interviewed by G. Edward Griffin and others, and he warned what Russia was doing to undermine U.S. culture, to destroy the United States from within.
It included methods such as demoralization and censorship and de-education and so on, destroying the US culture, destroying the rule of law.
And guess what?
All of that is exactly what has happened.
So, to some extent, the former Soviet effort to undermine and destroy the United States of America has already been successful.
Even as elements of the Democrat Party in America have inherited those destructive tendencies, they have effectively picked up where the Soviet Union left off.
So the Democrats are doing to America what the USSR tried to do to America, and maybe the USSR was even partially effective before it fell in 1991.
But now, in effect, you see that the leaders of Western nations I.e.
the leaders of America, the leaders of France, the leaders of the UK, the leaders of Germany, and so on.
All these leaders have become what Besminov warned about, in other words, agents of the former Soviet Union to undermine and destroy the United States of America.
So, if you're Russia looking at all this, you're probably laughing at this moment because you're thinking, wow, we Russians don't have to destroy the West.
The West has taken on the plot of destruction of the West from the former Soviet Union.
Even as, ironically, Western media and Western political leaders Blame Trump for being controlled by Russia.
Remember the whole Russian dossier, you know, made up fictional accusations?
It's not Trump that's controlled by Russia.
It's the Democrats.
It's the left that's controlled by the philosophy of the former Soviet Union, which was to bring down, to undermine the United States of America.
That's what Obama had worked on for eight years, to fundamentally reconfigure America so that it doesn't even resemble what it used to be.
Obama was following the blueprint that Yuri Besbinov was warning about.
So understand that we are witnessing the suicide of the West.
And if you have any doubts about that, go to Paris.
Just walk around Paris and you'll see the Western civilization has committed suicide.
And try not to get mugged.
Try not to have your phone stolen.
You know, try not to get carjacked in Paris or have your luggage ripped off.
Crime is out of control.
Same thing in most cities in the United States.
Similar situation in London.
Similar situation in major cities in Germany.
The West has destroyed itself.
And the only thing the West can do now is print useless currency.
The West can't even manufacture munitions.
Can't even really build some sufficient quantity of weapons systems.
All they can do, even for Ukraine, is talk about, oh, let's just send Ukraine money.
What money?
Oh, the fake fiat dollar currency that you're counterfeiting every day.
Yeah, but that's not the same as sending Ukraine artillery shells or tanks or weapons or soldiers.
It's just money.
And so the leaders of Ukraine, they just ferret that away.
They shuffle it around, stuff it into their pockets for their own personal exit plan.
You can bet all the top leaders of Ukraine, they have an exit plan of how to leave the country and flee with a couple million dollars, get out before Kiev falls to Russia.
And so they can go retire with a condo or a beachfront home somewhere in some western town where they hopefully won't, you know, be killed by the Russians.
So the West has really nothing to offer Ukraine here other than counterfeit currency.
And that's why Ukraine has lost.
And that's why the West has lost.
There's nothing that can turn around Germany's economy, for example.
It's done for at least a generation because Germany has abandoned affordable energy.
Germany has declared itself to be the enemy of Russia rather than trading partners with Russia.
Nothing is going to save the economy of France.
Same story.
This is why the French people are up in arms.
Well, maybe not with arms, but yellow jackets.
I mean, they're protesting.
And more protests are coming because the collapse is accelerating.
This is why farmers all across Europe are protesting.
Because they're being squeezed out of existence by these onerous regulations of governments that have gone mad.
And governments that have, in effect, declared war against their own people.
That's why Russia's laughing.
Believe me, and every time a transgender Space Force colonel stands up there, you know, some biological dude dressed up as a woman with a wig and fake breasts and pantyhose and high heels and starts talking about why we need to have more pronouns in our emails in order to defeat Russia, you can bet Russia's laughing their asses off.
I would imagine Putin probably can't even understand how the West became so insane.
Beyond the wildest dreams of the former Soviet Union to undermine American culture, nobody thought it would become this insane where the U.S. military would roll out drag queens as spokespeople and as military leaders and heroes.
They're drag queens, for God's sake.
And that's supposed to be what we stand for now in America?
Where the LGBT flag is more important than the American flag?
Where half of America hates their own flag?
That's the left, of course.
They hate the American flag.
They get triggered by it.
Yeah.
Understand, Russia doesn't have to defeat the West in order to defeat the West.
All Russia has to do is just stand by and survive and watch the West destroy itself.
Western civilization is on a suicide course.
It's self-immolating.
It's burning itself down.
And Russia is revitalizing itself.
Thanks to the economic sanctions, by the way, Russia's investment is domestic.
Russia's wealthy are investing in Russia's own production.
Mining of minerals and resources and energy and building their own domestic supply chains for resiliency and redundancy, while the West is the laughingstock of the world and collapsing into just lunacy, mass mental illness with a population that's diseased and heavily medicated and insane.
Yeah, it's not difficult to see which civilization lasts the longest in this.
And it's going to be Russia's civilization.
The West is collapsing.
So, well, given that you and I probably live in the West, we should be prepared for what's coming down.
So, of course, be ready for big changes to happen.
Be ready for some very difficult times.
and be ready to help rebuild the new America out of the ashes of the collapse of this corrupt suicidal society in which we live right now.

Alright, continuing with our news, but still in Western Europe, an incredible story out of Middle East Eye, which covers the Israel-Palestine War.
Germany, state bank freezes account of Jewish peace activist group.
So, the bank, the state bank of Germany, demands that Jewish voice for just peace...
In the Middle East, disclose the list of all their members, including their addresses.
So this is a Jewish anti-Zionist organization that had a bank account with the state-owned bank in Germany.
And its account was frozen.
And then the money's being confiscated by a German bank.
Think about this.
Think about the historical context here of the, you know, the German Nazis taking the money of Jews.
And here it is happening again in 2024.
The bank is called Berliner Sparkassi.
I don't know how to pronounce that.
Sorry, I don't speak German.
Freezes the Jewish voice account.
And that's from a statement of Jewish Voice.
The bank told it that it demanded a full list of all the members, including their home addresses, tax documentation, income statements, and internal documents.
And that was going to be needed by the bank in order to update the customer data, you know, so that the police in Germany can go raid all the homes of all these people, right?
Unbelievable.
The bank threatened to terminate the contract and close the account if the required documents were not sent by the deadline.
So this is pretty much show me your papers, right?
That's exactly what this is.
Jewish Voice was founded in Berlin in 2003, and it's affiliated apparently with the umbrella organization called European Jews for a Just Peace Association.
In Amsterdam that was founded in 2002.
I did not know that.
Very interesting.
The website says, quote, Not in our name.
That's from their website.
They need to have a conversation with the ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel who are not willing to fight.
Not because they want peace, but just because they think they're above all the other Jews.
It's like super-Jews.
The ultra-Orthodox Jews.
I wonder how the regular Jews feel about the super-Jews.
The super-chosen Zionist Jews who say they're above all the other Jews.
I mean, I'm having trouble keeping track of all the hierarchy here because I think all human beings are created equal.
Imagine that.
I don't think one group is intrinsically higher or better than any other group.
Imagine that.
Gosh, I actually think that we should treat all human beings with dignity and compassion and humanitarian civics.
But, you know, I guess that makes me an anti-Semite today, because if you're not all in favor of just slaughtering all Palestinians, then, you know, you're called an anti-Semite.
Right.
But it turns out that actually most of the Jews around the world agree with me on this very point.
They do not support what Netanyahu and Israel are doing right now because it's genocide being carried out in the name of, well, in a sense of Judaism or certainly in the name of Israel.
Now, wait till you hear my interview with Roger Stone because we talk about Israel and Trump's statement.
That's coming up.
Here's something else that's related to all of this.
Another story from Middle East Eye.
Israel may cut off Palestinian banks from the global banking system next week.
What?
So you know what the US did to Russia by cutting Russia off from the SWIFT system, trying to carry out these economic sanctions against Russia, which actually backfired on the West.
But according to the story, Palestinian banks could be cut off from the Israeli banking system starting next week, following a decision by Israel's finance minister to cease dealings between the two financial institutions.
And that was a report published in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Netanyahu has two days to convene, a cabinet meeting to discuss the plans, blah, blah, blah.
Basically, the Palestinian economy, it says, is based on the Israeli currency, the shekel, making it reliant on ties to Israel and its financial dealings with the rest of the world must go through the Bank of Israel and Israeli banks.
My God!
I mean, it's not enough that Israel controls, let's see, the electricity of Gaza, the food supply, you know, the medicine that gets in.
Well, usually the medicine doesn't get in, the food doesn't get in, you know, because Israel is just basically committing mass genocide, trying to starve them out.
But Israel also controls the entire financial infrastructure of Palestine, the Palestinian people, the Palestinian banks.
Man, there's a case right there for cryptocurrency or some other alternative system that the centralized banks can't control and they can't block.
Man, I really hope to interview a survivor from Gaza.
So if you know anybody who has escaped Gaza, Please let me know.
You can email me at situationupdate at protonmail.com.
I want to interview a Gaza survivor because I want to ask that person many questions, one of those being, what did you use for currency?
Was there something that was commonly used as barter?
Was it food?
Was it...
Was it water?
Was it toilet paper or soap?
I would imagine all those things have high value in a collapse scenario, which is what Israel has done to Gaza.
They've created this collapse scenario by bombing half the residential buildings, bombing the hospitals, bombing the universities.
They just completely obliterated the infrastructure of society there.
And then they deny food, water, and medicine to the Palestinian people.
And then Israel says, oh, we're doing it for self-defense.
Bullcrap.
You're not.
You're committing genocide.
You're just...
Committing murder, mass murder, mass slaughter, and that's why the Jewish voices for peace says, not in our name.
Don't slander the name of Jews worldwide, Netanyahu, by doing this in the name of the Jewish faith.
That's what the Jewish voices for peace are really insisting upon, and you can't blame them.
So remember this.
This is just like a bigger version of the banks of Canada seizing the bank accounts of people who donated to the trucker convoy.
Same kind of thing.
You can't trust the banks, you can't trust the governments.
Wherever you think you have money, one day they can just decide they don't like you.
They can freeze your account without notice, send you a letter and demand everything.
Send us all your earnings ever, all your tax records, your bank statements, your fingerprints, your DNA swabs, whatever.
And if you refuse to do that, then they'll just steal your money.
And if you're a group of people, You might just be doing simple things professionally.
You might be home care, child care, like running a nursery or doing lawn care or whatever.
And then suddenly you find yourself caught up in some big international war or conflict.
Suddenly you get cut off.
Because you're part of an ethnic group that's being targeted by some other country, which is what's happening with Israel versus Palestine.
And then, guess what?
You can't get paid.
You can't get your money.
You can't wire money.
You can't take money out.
You're screwed.
Again, this is the whole point of my show called Decentralize TV is decentralization.
Get your money, your assets, your knowledge, your tech out of the hands of centralized systems, centralized corporations, centralized governments, because they're weaponizing everything against humanity.
Understand that what Israel is doing right now to Gaza, I've said this before, is exactly what the globalists plan to do to you and me.
And it's so bad what Israel's doing there.
One more story from Middle East.
World Court unanimously orders Israel to facilitate entry of food aid into Gaza.
Now, Israel claims it's not blocking food aid to Gaza.
Why are there 500 trucks lined up outside that can't get in?
Because Israel's blocking them.
So the International Court of Justice announced this new additional provisional measure.
Unanimously ordering Israel to ensure without delay that humanitarian aid is provided to Gaza, encompassing essentials such as food, water, electricity, and other fundamental necessities, according to the story on Middle East Eye.
The court said Israel must take all necessary and effective measures to ensure, without delay, in full cooperation with the United Nations, the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance.
Now, Israel is going to say, go pound sand, because Netanyahu is a lunatic citizen.
Mass murdering Zionist.
Basically a satanic death cult.
That's what the leadership of Israel has become.
That's not a comment that I would attribute to all the people of Israel.
Some of them, for sure, but not all of them.
And it's not something that I attribute to all people of Jewish faith, just to be clear.
But this is what Netanyahu and his cabal of satanic death cult mass murderers, this is what they want to carry out.
So, even the International Court of Justice says, you gotta let the food in, for God's sake.
And Netanyahu's like, no, not only no soup for you, but also we're gonna bomb Rafa.
We're going to starve you, and then we're going to bomb you, and then we're going to flip the bird to the International Court of Justice, and then we're going to control the U.S. Congress and control the U.S. media because we own the U.S., we own all the lobbyists, we have all the money, America gave us billions, we turn around and use it to bribe members of Congress.
So Netanyahu's like, America can't touch us.
Screw all of you, he says.
He's going to do whatever the hell he wants, no matter how evil it is.
Just remember, Everything Israel does to Gaza is what the globalists plan to do to you.
Now, shifting gears to some good news, Sam Bankman Freed has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
He's the guy that was once the crypto mogul, you could say, you know, the big crypto guy, FTX co-founder, who was once, you know, hoisted up as this savior of Because he was donating all this money to Democrats.
And he paid Bill Clinton to show up at one of his events and so on.
And he was involved in money laundering in Ukraine through donations and all kinds of things.
And he was part of this new kind of liberal, woke, left-wing, economic, bullcrap ecosystem where they think they can just invent anything and assign it whatever value they want.
And suddenly they're all billionaires.
Except...
SBF did this with other people's money and he has been ordered to pay $11 billion in restitution.
$11 billion?
Does he even have $11 billion?
Now, interestingly, remember Trump was ordered to pay almost half a billion dollars and that was a totally rigged situation.
But SBF, Sam Bankman fraud, as I say, actually did steal billions of dollars from people in the FTX scam.
And it created this massive bubble in crypto that ended with the collapse of FTX.
And then there was this great recalibration where most crypto lost like 80 or 90 percent, including Bitcoin.
That's when Bitcoin really cratered.
Now, it has recovered since then and has hit all time highs recently.
So we are definitely in the post FTX era for crypto.
And it's kind of it was kind of a necessary recalibration, actually, to kind of burn out all the speculators who thought they were all going to be billionaires.
So, you know, in one sense, there was a necessary kind of reset in the crypto space.
That's one of the things that SBF accidentally accomplished.
Anyway, he's going to prison for 25 years.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams spoke after the sentencing, said, Samuel Bankman Freed orchestrated one of the largest financial frauds in history.
His deliberate and ongoing lies demonstrated a brazen disregard for his customers' expectations and disrespect for the rule of law.
All so that he could secretly use his customers' money to expand his own power and influence.
Which sounds like he's describing the Biden administration, actually.
Or frankly, the federal government itself.
Just the way the government operates and prints more counterfeit money.
Do you realize that the Federal Reserve and the Treasury are doing to all of America exactly what SBF did to his own customers?
Just printing money from nothing, claiming it has value and basically looting his own customer base?
Yeah, that's what happens every day when the dollar is printed.
So really, Sam Bankman-Fried's greatest crime was that his crimes were not big enough to be too big to fail.
If they were bigger, like nation-state level, then, oh, he could have got away with it, you see, because, well, the U.S. government is getting away with it every single day.
Or, you know, think about 2008, the subprime mortgage collapse.
Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, right?
Bank of America, Wells Fargo.
They all get away with it.
Nobody goes to jail.
You notice that?
They never go to jail.
So, again, SBF's biggest crime was that he just wasn't big enough.
If he had had a name like, you know, Wells Fargo, then, well, he wouldn't serve a day in prison.
So there you go.
Selective justice, as usual.
I'm not saying that he's innocent.
He's not.
He's very guilty.
But there's a whole lot of other guilty people that will never see the inside of a prison, even though they're stealing from their customers and stealing from America every single day.
And by the way, one more thing.
SBF was very woke.
And it's possible that in his mind he didn't even think he was doing anything wrong because radical woke leftists, they think that they create reality by speaking it.
They think that if they have a spreadsheet and they enter 1 billion coins on the spreadsheet and then in the next column they say each coin's worth $100, then in their minds they literally think they've just created $100 billion in wealth.
And they will talk like that.
Because, think about it, they've been trained that a man can become a woman.
They've been trained that reality is whatever you say it is.
That there are 97 genders or whatever.
Well, if biology isn't real, then why should finance be rooted in reality?
You see, that's the lesson that our nation's youth, especially these woke leftists, that's what they're taught.
That nothing is real.
Things are only what you say they are.
And if you say this coin is worth this much, then it is!
So to this very day, SBF might still be mystified as to, what did I do wrong?
I was just doing what everybody else was doing, just in the world of crypto.
But of course, he was committing fraud.
Massive fraud.
And we won't be seeing SBF for many years.
No great loss to society.
And then finally, one more story that's actual good news from the post-millennial DeSantis abolishes...
Wait a minute, I actually have one more story.
DeSantis abolishes squatters' rights in Florida.
A new law that's kicking in July 1st allows property owners to just call the police and have squatters removed immediately.
The law is called HB 621.
I think they should have named it FU-886, actually.
I mentioned why that is a couple months ago.
886 in Chinese is pronounced ba-ba-lio, which means ba-ba-ila, which means see you later.
Get out of here.
Yeah, I know.
That's a stretch.
I realize that.
But it would be way funnier if the law was actually named FU-886.
All the Chinese speakers would get that.
They would laugh.
Anyway, when that kicks in, says Floridians will have the ability to call police and have them remove anyone illegally occupying someone else's property.
And those caught committing the crime of squatting will face harsh penalties.
So Governor DeSantis said, quote, you're not going to be able to commandeer somebody's private property and expect to get away with it.
We are in the state of Florida, and we are ending the squatter scam once and for all, at least beginning July 1st.
Until July 1st, you can squat.
But if you have a squatter in your building, you should start giving them a countdown calendar.
Start X-ing out the days one at a time, like a countdown to July 1st.
Yeah, yeah.
It's coming on July 1st.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Really close to July 4th is our celebration Independence Day.
We're going to get you out of this house by Independence Day.
By the way, the law says that people who knowingly advertise the sale or rent of a property without being a legal owner will face first-degree felony charges.
Because you know how there are those services right now that find empty homes and then, I don't remember what it's called, but it's something like Like single payment, you pay us one time, you pay us, I think one of them charges $1,200, and then they give you the location of a house where you can just go in and squat there for $1,200.
I mean, it's this whole weird economy.
Well, those people, if they do that, first-degree felony charges, which seems appropriate, actually.
But then there's, you know, there's the Texas version of justice also.
I wonder if Governor Abbott is working on some law like this, but I think the Texas law would have to be named something like FU-9MM, 9mm.
Like the Texas law that Governor Abbott would stand up there and say, we don't need a law, just shoot them dudes, you know.
No, he wouldn't talk like that.
But in Texas, I've never heard of a massive squatting problem in Texas.
Have you?
I've heard of it in lots of other states.
Maybe it's happening in Texas and I'm not aware of it, but I think squatting in Texas would be kind of a proceed at your own risk type of activity anyway.
Because the Texans I know, hey, if they come home after like a five-day vacation and somebody's living in their home and has trashed the place, man, that conversation's not going to go very well.
It's going to be a really short conversation with certain loud noises involved probably.
And it's, yeah, don't squat in people's homes in Texas is all I'm saying.
Okay, one more story.
This is on naturalnews.com.
This is a story by our writer, S.D. Wells.
And, you know, this is fascinating because remember that Netflix movie that was produced by Barack and Michelle Obama called Leave the World Behind?
And in that movie, and I'm trying to credit whoever found this out first, and in that movie, there's a ship called the White Lion that suffered basically a cyber attack outage, and then it ran aground on a beach.
And in that movie, I think it starred Kevin Bacon and Ethan Hawke and...
Julia Roberts, I believe, were the main actors in that movie.
I even did some commentary on that movie.
But some people are saying that this ship crashing onto the beach after suffering a cyber attack, basically an outage, was foreshadowing of this ship hitting the Baltimore Bridge.
And whereas in the movie, the ship was named White Lion...
Which some people think is similar to Black Swan.
Oh yeah, here it is, Matt Walsh.
The journalist Matt Walsh has addressed some of these so-called coincidences.
And one other coincidence is that in the movie, the White Lion ship was carrying a flag, the national flag of Sri Lanka, and And then the actual ship that crashed into the Baltimore Bridge, named Dali, was en route to Sri Lanka before it crashed into the key bridge.
Alright, so, well, what do you think?
Is it...
It doesn't seem like a super strong coincidence to me, but it was a very odd scene in the film.
We had never seen a ship just sort of run aground before, at least not...
Not that I recall, depicted in movies because of a cyber attack.
What if this is a GPS spoofing attack on the dolly crashing into the key bridge?
Was all of this known?
I guess one of the assertions here is that this is all potentially following some kind of a blueprint.
And for some reason, these globalists like to toy with people's minds and foreshadow all this stuff.
Like, how many episodes of The Simpsons have come true?
Or what about that game, Steve Jackson Games?
I think it was called the Illuminati.
That was back in the 1980s, I think, or the early 90s.
Steve Jackson Games, look this up.
Again, I think it was called Illuminati, and it had different cards of events, and one of the cards showed the 9-11 attacks, even depicting the exact towers.
You know, there's so many of those cards from Steve Jackson Games that have actually come true.
Let me just, let me look it up to make sure here.
Yeah, I had it right.
Here it is.
Steve Jackson Games, Illuminati.
And this game actually predicted, yeah, it's from the 1990s.
It predicted 9-11, Donald Trump, COVID, the Capitol riot.
There's been a lot of stories about this.
Man, I'm looking at some of these cards now.
It's shocking how accurate they are.
One card depicts a bomb blast at the Pentagon.
Another card shows barbed wire fencing around the White House, shielding the president from civil unrest.
There's a charismatic leader card that has a blonde-haired...
A demagogue addressing a crowd of adoring supporters.
I'm reading from coverage here from The Independent.
There's a Hillary Clinton card in the deck, an Al Gore card, and one of the cards has protesters holding signs.
One of the protest signs says, quote, Which was unheard of in the 1990s, by the way.
Steve Jackson Games was headquartered in Austin, Texas.
And it was raided by the Secret Service on March 1st, 1990.
And the Secret Service confiscated the hard drives and documents pertaining to the board game.
So, why would the U.S. government raid a game company if it was just fun and games?
So the Electronic Frontier Foundation, EFF, actually has written about this.
On March 1st, 1990, the U.S. Secret Service nearly destroyed Steve Jackson Games, an award-winning publisher of role-playing games in Austin, Texas.
And so the EFF was working to fight the government's overreach in this raid.
But can you imagine that you have a card game?
That depicts future events like, you know, pandemics and 9-11 and, you know, all kinds of things.
Terrorist attacks.
And then the government raids your company and confiscates all your documents.
Like, what?
Anyway, fascinating true history.
Now, we're about to jump into the interview with Roger Stone, which was just filmed a few hours earlier.
In this interview, I think pretty early in the interview, within the first 10 minutes, we get into the question of Israel.
Now, you may recall that Trump recently said that Israel made a mistake by bombing so many civilians to death.
And this was a pretty big deal for Trump to say this because Trump has been a strong ally of Israel and he has not really said anything against Israel until this moment.
But Just the mass slaughter, the genocide of women and children, the bombing of hospitals and refugee camps and university buildings.
Apparently, it just became too much, even for Trump, to stomach.
He's like, I mean, yeah, we love Israel, but damn, this is too much.
So he came out and said, Israel made a mistake.
I asked Roger Stone about this.
And Roger Stone's answer is very enlightening.
He says that not only has Trump come around on this issue and is now speaking out against Israel, but so has Alex Jones.
And as I've been speaking out against Israel from very early on in Israel's genocide campaign, it was obvious to me from the start But Roger says himself now that he agrees with the assessment that Israel has made a huge mistake.
And Roger clarifies he's a friend of Israel, just to be clear.
Well, you'll hear him say it in his own words.
I'm not trying to put words in his mouth.
I'm just trying to sort of paraphrase or summarize.
But you'll hear him say it.
He's still a friend of Israel.
He still supports Israel, but he thinks Israel has gone too far.
For me personally, I cannot say that I support Israel.
After what it has done.
I'm not in that camp at all.
I was sort of Israel neutral, I think, for most of my professional career.
Israel just wasn't really on my map, actually.
I wasn't paying attention to Palestine and Gaza.
October 7th changed all that.
It brought out the most insidious, evil side of what Zionism is capable of.
Which is really just horrifying.
Absolutely shocking.
And now I speak out against evil and the satanic death cult that the Zionists and Israel have become.
And I speak in favor of humanitarian principles, including peace and basic humanitarian rights, access to food and water, access to shelter, and so on.
And it's funny because 20 years ago that would have made me a liberal.
Today, it just makes me an independent-minded person because neither the Democrat Party nor the Republican Party care at all about humanitarian principles or peace.
The Democrats are pro-war just as much as the Republicans are pro-war.
Even Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
doesn't seem to care much about what's happening to the Gazan children, does he?
No, he's not speaking out against it.
He's not condemning Israel's actions of slaughtering 35,000-plus mostly women and children.
Dr.
Shiva is speaking out against it, but he's one of the few voices that does.
Most people are just completely silent.
But apparently things are shifting quite dramatically.
Israel is losing allies by the day.
Most of the world now despises Israel's actions.
The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to allow aid to enter Gaza, which Israel is rejecting.
And the reputation...
This is why Jewish Voices for Peace...
is so adamant about saying not in our name because the reputation globally of the Jewish people, I think in an undeserving way, is being destroyed because of the actions of Netanyahu.
The way people around the world now think about Jews is really suffering a reputation hit That's quite severe, even though most Jews do not support what Netanyahu is doing.
And that's why I support the peaceful Jewish protest groups that are protesting these actions.
Even though most of those groups are very much left-wing in terms of their politics, I absolutely agree with them on this point.
Do not commit violence in our name.
Do not smear the reputation of Jews all over the world because of this runaway, frankly, radical, far-right Zionist leadership, Netanyahu and so on, who are a bunch of fascist zealots, as far as I'm concerned.
The reputation of Jews around the world is going to be slandered because of Netanyahu for, you know, generations to come.
This is not something that is just easily forgotten, especially by Arabs and Muslims and Persians and, well, Palestinians in particular, but also many other people in the region, you know, the Turks and Egyptians and so on.
Jordanians, you know, Syrians, this is not going to be forgotten.
And this is why people like Scott Ritter have warned that Israel is on a path that will destroy Israel.
And that if people care about Israel, they would urge Israel to stop this.
Stop the killing.
Stop the death cult, allow humanitarian aid, negotiate peace in some way, but stop the mass slaughter.
And yet, that is not happening.
And, of course, it's astonishing to me how many conservative, so-called independent media in America have gone along with the genocide, and they've continued to be pro-Israel, even as Israel is slaughtering women and children by the tens of thousands.
So this has been a wake-up call to learn the truth about the Netanyahu variety of Zionism, how evil it is, to learn the truth about how many so-called pro-Christian independent media groups are actually fully in favor of genocide and slaughtering women and children, even when they claim to be pro-life.
And it's been fascinating to me to see how this has outed potential candidates for president like RFK Jr., who turns out to be someone who is not principled.
He does not follow principles.
I thought he was a principled man, and I was mistaken.
He is not a principled man.
He's part of a tribe.
On one hand, it's the Zionist tribe.
On the other hand, apparently with his VP candidate Shanahan, it's the Google Big Tech tribe, kind of like the radical left-wing globalist tribe.
But RFK Jr.
is not a man of principles.
He does not follow principles.
And I cannot support someone who is not principled.
Because if we don't adhere to principles in our own lives, then we're just part of somebody's tribe.
We're part of a gang, part of a tribe, different names for different gangs, Democrats, Republicans, rhinos, black people, white people, whatever.
There's lots of ways that people divide the world, different religions, Christian, Jew, Catholic, Muslim, whatever.
I don't buy into that.
I judge people based on their actions and whether those actions are rooted in principles, not what tribe they're part of.
And we're going to have a guest, by the way, coming on, joining us to talk about, you know, in Israel, it looks like they're gearing up to do some kind of demonic sacrifice of the red heifers.
Have you been reading about that?
They're going to do some kind of bloodletting demon sacrifice thing that they, apparently, as I understand it anyway, they claim is part of the Jewish tradition or something?
I was like, what?
You've got to sacrifice animals to your God?
I mean, I thought we got rid of that thousands of years ago.
What are you talking about?
I mean, I saw sacrificial animals Monuments and things with the Aztecs when I was touring parts of South America, you know, Machu Picchu and Peru and so on.
And, you know, the Quechua civilizations, the Mayas, the Inca.
Yeah, I saw a lot of weird sacrificial stuff there.
I didn't know that Israel's still doing it.
Apparently they are.
Maybe I'm wrong about that.
Maybe you can correct me if I haven't gotten that right, but from the news I've seen, it seems like they're gearing up to do some kind of weird red heifer sacrifice thing.
It's like, you know what?
If you're killing animals to appease your god, you're not worshiping the right god.
No, you're not.
And I know you could quote the Old Testament and God's demands of the firstborn son and all that, but that's not congruent with a loving God to kill your own children or your own animals.
So the people that are out there killing things and thinking that God has chosen them, I think they're worshiping Satan, frankly.
It's actually rather obvious.
They're Satan worshippers, and they're just deceived.
Satan tells them that that's their God, and that you're the chosen ones.
No, you've been chosen by Satan.
You know, stop killing things.
Stop killing heifers.
Stop killing people.
Stop killing babies.
Just stop killing things.
See, that's the principle.
But nobody, almost nobody, agrees with all those things.
Almost everybody you encounter out there wants to kill something.
You can have the Christians that claim, I'm pro-life, but then they want to kill Muslims.
You know, you can have the Zionists that claim that they're pro-Old Testament, but they want to kill Muslims too, and they don't mind Christians dying, or all these people sacrificing animals.
How about we just stop killing everything?
How about that?
Well, that's not a popular opinion.
The most controversial word in the media today is peace.
If you call for peace, you might be an extremist.
If you call for peace in Ukraine, oh, you might be a Putin puppet.
You call for peace in the Middle East, oh, you might be an anti-Semite.
You see how insane it has become?
You call for peace at the abortion clinics.
Oh, you're opposed to women's rights.
No.
Let's just stop killing people and babies and animals.
Can we just stop the killing?
Can we talk about peace without being labeled extremists?
No.

Enjoy.
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams and our returning guest today, one of our fan favorites, is the one and only Roger Stone from StoneZone.com.
I'm not going to go through Roger Stone's entire history.
He's done so much for so many presidents and so many campaigns over the years.
He joins us today to talk about what's happening with Donald Trump and his political opponents for the remainder of this election season.
Welcome, Roger, to the show.
Great to have you on today.
Mike, always great to be back with you.
We really appreciate having you on because you're not afraid to address the tough questions and you and I can just talk openly about our concerns or about our enthusiasm.
I'd like to start this off by saying it looks like Trump's poll numbers are looking stronger in most cases.
He's had a couple of court victories or at least a recalibration of the New York case.
And at the same time, the economic implosion under Bidenomics continues to get worse, and the war in Ukraine continues to falter.
Both of these tend to lead towards people voting against the Democrats.
What's your overall sense of where Trump stands right now in the running?
Well, first of all, he is, let's face it, the luckiest human being that ever lived.
So on the brink of financial disaster, with the New York courts actually demanding a half billion dollar cash bond just in order to appeal the bad decision against him in the so-called valuations case, Turns out that his stock at Truth Social makes him perhaps the sixth richest man on the planet.
That is really, and you can hear in the background, what you hear is the gnashing of teeth at MSNBC and CNN and the three major networks.
Every time they think they've got him, well, they don't have him.
So, look, it is the combination of faith, hard work, planning, and yes, there's some luck involved, but as Frank Sinatra used to say, you make your luck.
You make your luck by being in the right place at the right time with the right message.
So our politics is extraordinarily volatile.
The electorate is extremely volatile.
People are very locked into their own positions.
The undecided group is exceedingly small.
But if you're Donald Trump, I think you take life one day at a time.
And so far, the tsunami of lawfare against him seems to be redounding to his benefit with the average voter who I think just sees through the whole thing.
And then this week, which I think is really significant.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and we've had endless debate about whether in the end he siphons votes from Biden and the Democrats or whoever the Democrats end up nominating, or whether he siphons votes from Donald Trump.
He out of the blue selects a running mate who is a hardcore leftist progressive Democrat who's given huge sums to Joe Biden, who admits that she's proudly vaccinated and I believe boosted any any Trump voter who may temporarily have been thinking who admits that she's proudly vaccinated and I believe boosted any any Trump voter who may temporarily have been thinking about voting for Only he is perfect.
There's no one who's perfect.
I think any Trump voter or Trump-leaning voter has to look at the choice of a running mate and be repelled.
In other words, what good does it do you to run on a reform agenda and argue the central tenant of your independent candidacy is that you can't be bought But then basically sell out to a mega, mega wealthy woman progressive who really doesn't share Kennedy's views on war, doesn't share his views on health freedom, doesn't share his views on the border.
I really think it was a very positive development, ironically.
I agree with you.
And let's go down that road a little bit more.
And you're referring to, I believe, Shanahan is her name, right?
Nicole Shanahan, yes.
The VP pick.
I just described it as, in my opinion, I think RFK just committed campaign suicide.
Because he was appealing to so many people on the right, actually, by talking or telling the truth about vaccines, about Fauci.
And that was where Trump was perceived as being sort of weak or not as well informed.
And RFK was very strong on that subject.
And then he picks a running mate who's jabbed and who has promoted all these things that you talked about, whose ex-husband was one of the co-founders of Google, one of the most evil corporations in the world that spies on the American people.
And RFK Jr. relies.
relied on her money for his Super Bowl ad, I think $4 million from her.
And it's kind of like the appearance, at least to people like myself, and I've been open to RFK's campaign for quite some time, but the appearance is that RFK chose a VP because she's the money.
It's the money train.
I think that's exactly right.
Look, this tells me several things.
First of all, his campaign is having an exceedingly difficult time getting on the ballot.
So for your listeners and viewers, Running as an independent, you don't just walk in, sign a form, pay a small fee, and you're on the ballot.
It doesn't work that way.
There are 50 different state laws governing ballot access, and those laws are written by Republicans and Democrats working together to make sure there's no competition, not inside their parties and certainly not in a general election.
So I think in this case, Robert Kennedy made a decision based solely on the cash, the cash necessary to get him on the ballot.
At one time, I noticed in his interviews, he pegged that number at $20 million.
Now he's pegging that number at $50 million.
Well, look, I was I voted the Republican Party in 2012.
I could not vote for Mitt Romney.
There's no way there's no way in the world that that guy is a conservative.
There's no way in the world that that guy believes what you and I believe, Mike.
So I briefly joined the Libertarian Party and I was deeply involved in the successful efforts by Governor Gary Johnson, who had a very Incredible record as governor of New Mexico of cutting taxes, cutting spending and personal freedom and so on.
He ultimately got on the ballot in 48 states.
would have been every state except for two state courts, I think, made entirely partisan political decisions.
Oklahoma hasn't had any independent or third party candidate on the ballot since Ross Perot.
It's been that long.
Wow.
So so I do.
I think I think he sold out for the money.
And this woman would be a heartbeat away from being president of the United States were he to be somehow elected.
I don't think it meets the smell test.
But Roger, his choice of a VP candidate, his appeal to the left becomes stronger.
So that can work for Trump.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.
So I think it did not benefit Robert Kennedy, but it did benefit Donald Trump in the sense that Trump voters are those leaning towards voting for Trump who may have been considering RFK. I think they'll now give that a second thought.
Alright, that's a fascinating analysis.
I agree with your analysis.
Let's go into an area where I'm not sure that we agree on this, but let's talk about Israel for a moment.
Trump, in the last week, said that Israel made a mistake.
By bombing civilians.
And I think he said, I'm paraphrasing obviously, but I think he said Israel needs to finish it up or wrap it up, get it done, whatever he means by that.
I think he means destroy Hamas.
But that Israel made a mistake by resulting in so many civilian casualties as that's really making so many people around the world dislike Israel's current leadership.
Why?
So Trump has probably distanced himself a little bit from what Netanyahu is doing.
What do you think is involved in the dynamics of that?
You know, when I saw Trump's comments on that, I thought to myself, wow, he must have seen my last interview with Mike Adams.
It's funny that you, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, both friends of ours, you've all come to the same conclusion, a conclusion that I must now agree with, that Israel is badly overplaying its hand.
Look, I'm a staunch supporter of Israel.
By the way, as is Alex Jones, but I think this leadership is making both a political and a geopolitical mistake with the brutality of what they're doing in the region.
So I've seen a number of important...
Let's call them conservative opinion leaders reach that same conclusion.
It's the same conclusion that Donald Trump reached, that they're going in the wrong direction, that they can't justify the brutality of what they're doing.
Well, let's talk about the political...
By the way, that doesn't mean I'm pro-Hamas or pro-Iranian by any means.
No, me neither.
But I recognize terrorism wherever it is.
And in the Middle East, I'm afraid today, I have to say that it's on both sides.
There are so many smarter ways for Israel to handle this.
And Netanyahu...
I mean, let's actually talk about the implications for the Democrats here.
Because...
Joe Biden and Antony Blinken, they must be pulling their hair out dealing with Netanyahu because Netanyahu will not listen to Blinken, will not listen to the West, will not listen to the International Court of Justice nor the ICC or the UN or anybody.
Netanyahu is just like, we're going to bomb and bomb and bomb.
We're going to bomb Rafa on Ramadan if we want to, right?
He won't listen to anybody.
This is politically hurting Biden in a huge way.
And, you know, I've interviewed one Texas pro-America Muslim here in the studio who also confirmed with me that the Muslim communities see Genocide Joe.
That's the nickname for Joe Biden now.
They see him as Genocide Joe.
And importantly, Roger...
Even though they realize that Trump is a friend of Israel, they are still willing to vote for Trump over genocide Joe to punish Joe for directly supporting the weapons being given to Israel.
So how do you think this is going to play out?
Well, the proof of that is in the not...
Too long in the past Michigan primary, a third of the people voting in the primary, Democrats, voted for none of the above.
They basically voted for undecided, uncommitted.
The Muslim community is a crucial swing voting bloc in a state like Michigan.
Remember, Joe Biden is the incumbent, and the incumbent always has a particular set of political problems because they have the authority.
Donald Trump obviously is not the incumbent, and therefore I think in the end he will benefit Trump.
Both ways.
First, because some of those who favor the Palestinian position will not be voting for him.
But at the same time, many, I think, American Jews who are reasonable, they'll stick with Donald Trump.
Yeah, it's a very delicate situation to navigate for sure, but Trump is, you know, he's an expert at that, and he's getting a lot of support from a lot of areas, including, let's talk about black America now.
So, you know, rappers and sort of cultural artists and influencers are coming out and saying, we need to give Trump a chance.
Do you think this is a result of the impact on the black communities of the illegal immigration in, especially in inner cities like Chicago and New York City?
Or to what do you attribute that?
I think it's attributable to several things.
First of all, I think many African Americans look at what Trump is being put through in the judicial system, and they can identify it.
They've had the man on them for a long time.
The 1994 crime bill, written by Senator Joe Biden, then chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and signed into law by Bill Clinton, converts the war on drugs to penalize and put in place mandatory penalties for the first-time nonviolent crime of small amounts of drugs in your possession for personal use.
Now, if people have a drug abuse problem, they belong in drug treatment programs.
They don't need to be incarcerated if they have no previous criminal record and they're not a danger to anyone but themselves.
So I don't think Trump, frankly, in 2020, he did not talk enough about the reforms in the criminal justice system, which I, for one, supported.
But then secondarily, I think this is economically driven.
Trump's platinum economic development plan, which is really based on the black capitalism espoused by Richard Nixon in 1968.
You can go and look at the program.
It's very much like what Nixon proposed.
That is also a factor.
And then additionally, as you point out, these economic numbers that they're showing us are completely and totally manipulated.
And I think many African Americans in the cities, in the urban areas...
do see that not only are illegal immigrants stealing their job opportunities, but in a number of these states by state law, the government has to slash funding for things like sanitation, education, law enforcement in order the government has to slash funding for things like sanitation, education, law enforcement in order to provide social services for people who are not even American citizens and
So I think all of those factors give Trump a historic opportunity, which is reflected in the polls, to make serious gains among what was up until now pretty much The most solid monolithically democratic or democrat voting group in the country.
Never mind, just put that aside for a moment.
Trump's gains among Hispanics are absolutely historic.
There has never been a time in the 13 national Republican presidential campaigns in which I have worked as a senior staffer, some of the early ones as a junior staffer, there's never been a time when the Republican candidate was ahead of the Democratic candidate among Hispanic voters.
We always did well in that community.
We were gaining in that community.
I've now seen several Credible polls, polls where I respect the methodology, where I respect the sample size, and I look at all the other technical aspects of the poll to determine that it is indeed scientifically sound and therefore significant.
You have Trump with an absolute majority, some places as high as 56% among Hispanic voters.
So you look at all of this and you wonder, how is it possible that Losing all these key constituencies or losing ground among these key constituencies that Joe Biden could possibly get re-elected.
Well, I have so many questions for you, including if you're still sticking with your prediction that Joe Biden will be replaced with someone like Michelle Obama.
I want to get to that in a minute.
But just to finish up that last thought, if you're a black New Yorker, let's say, living in New York at any income level, And you see your city being overrun by illegals.
You see your black mayor, Eric Adams, on one hand say New York City will be destroyed by illegal immigration.
And then on the other hand, oh, here's $53 million to hand out to illegals on debit cards that they can spend on anything while they're living in their hotels that we gave them free of charge.
What are you thinking as a black New Yorker looking at that?
How angry are you, you know?
It seems crazy.
Yeah, I think you'd be pretty resentful.
I mean, look, the Roosevelt Hotel, which is on the historic preserved landmarks list, was once one of the most elite watering holes in New York.
It was the headquarters for Governor Tom Dewey, who had a suite of rooms there, Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Mayor John Lindsay.
This is now essentially a dumping ground for illegals.
It's a shelter for illegals.
The police are called there numerous times a day.
People are defecating in the hallways.
People are having fights in the lobby.
It's a crime zone.
It's almost unthinkable.
So, yes, I think, could New York go red?
I think it's very, very difficult, but not impossible.
I think you have a revolt going on among some of the most important constituencies within the Democratic Party, and African Americans would certainly be among them.
Absolutely.
Now, let's get to your prediction.
Let me just set that up for you here.
I think we've seen, since we spoke last, roughly about a month ago, resistance on the part of Joe Biden for being replaced, and the Democrat Party is running out of time to replace Joe Biden through any kind of internal electoral process, at least as I understand it.
You, of course, know far more detail than I do.
Is it even possible for Democrats to really replace Biden at this point?
Or how would it work if they did?
Well, it's entirely possible because they cleared the field for him.
So there was no competition.
There is no competition in the Democratic nominating process.
So if we did nothing, Joe Biden is ultimately going to accumulate enough delegates to be nominated.
But that does not mean that on the eve of the Democratic Convention, which I think is after the Republican Convention at this time, that he could not announce his intention not to resign as president, because he certainly doesn't want to lose the ability to pardon himself or his brother or son or other members of the Biden crime family.
But he could certainly announce that he is going to step down.
The pressure on him will be extraordinary.
We also don't know What's going on behind the scenes?
I may keep reading that Barack Obama visited the White House to tell Joe he's in trouble.
Does the time come, as I'm asking a rhetorical question, but does the time come when Kamala Harris and Barack Obama go to Joe and say, Joe, if you insist on running again, well, then we are going to have to enact the 25th Amendment.
And under the 25th Amendment, Biden can be removed as president simply with the support of the sitting vice president, Kamala Harris, who clearly could have an interest in that, and a majority of the cabinet.
Candidly, Barack Obama could put the votes together inside Joe's cabinet within an afternoon.
So, yes, I still think that Joe is resisting it.
That State of the Union address was designed to beat back this talk by having Joe look tough, talk tough, I think it backfired badly.
He looked angry.
He looked battled.
He looked frazzled.
Even working with a teleprompter, he still tripped over his own words.
So I do think the immediate circle around him of his aides want him to run for re-election.
You've got to wonder what's going on in Kamala Harris's mind.
I mean, first she reads, she probably knew this, Joe never wanted her to begin with.
Joe was still sore about the fact that in the debates, she had beat him up pretty badly about the aforementioned 1994 crime bill, and she basically called him a racist.
Kamala Harris was forced on him by none other than Barack Obama.
And I think there's credible evidence that Joe wanted to replace Kamala Harris with Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan.
How ironic would it be if, in the end, it's Kamala Harris who replaces Joe Biden?
Wow.
All right.
So...
A lot of interesting things to look forward to there, but do you think that, you said you think that Barack Obama could put together the votes to invoke the 25th Amendment in an afternoon.
Are they willing to go that far if Joe resists?
Because, I mean, that would be a civil war inside the Democrat Party.
Well, the real question is not whether they have the fortitude to do it, it's whether they have the fortitude to threaten to do it, in which case Biden would perhaps take a hard look at the situation and realize that his situation is untenable.
So, look, this is all politics, and I could well turn out to be wrong, but he has the smell of a loser about him.
Democrats down the ballot have to be worried about that because they don't want to get dragged down in the undertow.
I think right now there's an internecine problem.
War going on within the Democratic Party.
None of this is public.
They're not going to show it to us.
But I still think that there's a reasonable probability that they will swap him out for Michelle Obama.
If they swap him out for Kamala Harris, again, this will only benefit Donald Trump.
Her poll numbers are even worse than Joe Biden's poll numbers.
And she doesn't have dementia, but she makes no sense whatsoever.
And visiting an abortion clinic, this is celebrating abortion.
So, I mean, I think that was also a strategic mistake.
Look, the Democrats believe, since they cannot run on Joe Biden's record, since his record is abysmal on every front, Gas prices, inflation, war, the Middle East, his handling of the Russia-Ukraine situation where his State Department had multiple opportunities to end that war through a negotiated settlement.
And it wasn't the Ukrainians who said no.
It was our State Department that said no.
When you combine all of those things, I still think the internal pressure on him is going to be extraordinary.
Now, he's a very, very stubborn guy.
People I know who served with him in the Senate talk about his stubbornness and his actual belief, I would call it delusion, That he's the best qualified person in the country to be president.
He said it in that angry press conference.
He also said, who else could do what I have done?
I thought about that.
I said, yes, indeed.
But you see, he actually thinks he's doing a great job.
He actually thinks he's popular in these poll numbers.
He keeps telling his aides, well, they're just wrong.
No, they're not wrong.
So I still think it's entirely possible.
Well, it's living in that DC bubble and the fake news media bubble.
And if that's all they pay attention to, then they're completely disconnected from reality.
You mentioned Ukraine.
I'd like to ask you this.
Do you think Victoria Nuland was forced out because the political cost to Joe Biden of a loss in Ukraine is too high?
Or...
What do you think is behind Nuland leaving?
I noticed the policies haven't changed.
Still the same neocon type of policies there.
What do you think?
Look, I think she is one of the most epically evil people in public life today.
I think she is directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians as well as Russians.
This policy, which I'm sure they promised the president this would be a quick victory, has been a disaster.
I know this.
The answer is not shipping billions more to the Ukrainians.
That is not the answer.
So whether she was forced out or whether she saw this all collapsing in on her, we'll never know that.
But you're right.
The policies haven't changed.
They're kind of stuck.
Now, I respect military experts like Colonel Douglas McGregor or General Michael Flynn, many others that I have huge respect for.
They all tell me you have a stalemate on the ground in that conflict, and it's not going to change.
And at the end of the day, the Russians have the capacity to wear the Ukrainians down.
Indeed.
I think it's only, this is my opinion, but I think the terms of Ukraine's surrender will be ultimately negotiated probably sometime later this year.
And they could have been negotiated at the very beginning.
I mean, Biden himself blurted out that he would have been willing to give them the Donbass in certain areas of Ukraine in order to have peace.
He actually said that himself at one point.
Yet it is his Secretary of State that has scuttled any...
We don't even have peace talks going on.
We're not even trying to solve a conflict.
We don't even have anybody in political power in any Western nation that's even talking about peace.
You used to hear that word a lot, mostly from the left, especially during Desert Storm.
There was always the peace movement.
Where's the peace movement?
Nobody wants peace in the West anymore.
You don't even hear it.
Yeah, it is.
The parties have really switched positions.
So the Democrats used to hate the FBI. Remember during the Vietnam War, they hated the FBI. They held themselves out as the party of civil liberties.
What happened to that Democratic Party?
What happened to the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy that was pro-capitalist and pro-free enterprise and was fiercely anti-communist?
That Democratic Party literally no longer exists.
That's true.
Absolutely.
Alright, next question for you.
Thank you for the rapid-fire format here.
We've got a lot to cover.
And I know you've already done a lot of interviews today as well.
You're a busy man.
But that's good.
Your opinions are in demand.
That's good to hear.
Trump's most likely vice presidential pick.
We've heard names float around like Senator J.D. Vance and many others.
Where do you think that's leaning if you have any insight on that?
I don't think it's leaning anywhere at the moment.
I think the president is still looking at his options.
From what I understand, the list of possibilities is getting longer rather than shorter.
He clearly has not yet made up his mind.
And by the way, Mike, he's in no hurry to do so.
And he doesn't have to run because this decision doesn't have to be made until July.
So there's several criteria here.
President Nixon once told me directly, when looking for a vice presidential running mate, don't look for someone who can help you.
Just try to find someone who doesn't hurt you.
Agreed.
I think that's exactly right.
On the other hand, there's another school of thought, which is to say, you're locked in a very tight race.
In all the polls, Trump is still under 50%.
He needs to make ground among certain key Democratic voter groups.
We identified two of them already, African-Americans and Hispanics.
The one area where we haven't made ground since 2016 is among women.
That would argue, at least on the surface, for the selection of a woman running mate, an Elise Stefanik from upstate New York, for example.
Or Tulsi Gabbard, who we've talked about, be a very controversial pick.
I don't think that this, we're not even at the beginning of this process.
I think he's still thinking about his options.
But let's look at the criteria.
First and foremost, you have to select somebody who voters can look at and say, yes, that person has the experience, the depth, I like J.D. Vance.
I like him a lot.
But two years in the U.S. Senate, and prior to that being an author and a Netflix star, I don't know that he's ready.
By the way, I think J.D. Vance could be president someday.
I like him a lot.
I like his policies.
I like his courage.
I do think Ohio's probably...
Probably the only large state that's actually safe for the Republicans.
But I think you're going to go through cycles here where a candidate is thought to be a favorite or in the running, and then that cycle will be over.
So three weeks ago it was Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota.
Same criteria.
Small state.
You look at her and I don't think people will think that she has the gravitas, the grounding, the judgment, the experience to be president.
It's a very tough role to fill.
So Trump's got to decide which model he prefers.
Does he want someone who does no harm?
But who voters also see as a plausible president in the event of disaster?
Or does he want to do something, you know, that throws the bomb, that is more controversial, maybe riskier, but may bring him some new votes that he doesn't already have?
It's a very tough decision.
I do think, however, that there's one third criteria, and that is he has to pick someone who could reliably be counted on To continue the America First agenda, this idea of ticket balancing, which used to be required in American politics, the idea that he should take a neocon, for example, I think that would be an egregious mistake.
Well, one of my fears is that Trump would pick another Mike Pence type of person.
I mean, I don't think he's going to make that mistake, but I do have those concerns from his first administration that he tended to choose people who turned out to really betray the America First agenda.
What are your thoughts?
Yeah, no, that's why I was happy to see him absolutely, completely rule out the possibility of Nikki Haley.
That's not going to happen.
There's a lot of discussion of Senator Marco Rubio.
By the way, I like Rubio.
His constituent service has been very helpful to my family.
My wife has had some health challenges.
He's been very, very helpful to us.
Philosophically, I don't think he's, even though he's been very good on Cuba, very good on Venezuela, hardline anti-communists, worked very well with Trump in this hemisphere, we still have the fundamental problem of the 12th Amendment of the Constitution.
Now, the 12th Amendment of the Constitution, it really doesn't prohibit Two individuals who are legal residents of the same state from being president and vice president, it doesn't prohibit it, but it discourages it because were you to choose someone in the state,
say General Michael Flynn or Congressman Byron Donalds or Well, it's not clear that the electors could cast their votes.
So you would forfeit the 37 electoral votes of Florida.
I think this race is going to be so close that that's a risk that you could not possibly take.
Yeah, that actually brings us to the next question about the political maneuverings of how electoral votes are counted.
Now, you've been tracking this story very closely about the resignation of Republicans from the House.
And this appears to be, and I will frame this as an appearance, Perhaps you can give us more information.
It appears that somebody with a lot of money is paying Republican members of Congress to resign at certain strategic moments to maximize the pain to Trump's potential election victory so that the Democrats would have a majority When it comes time to certify the electoral votes, please explain what you know about what's happening there.
I think it's far more insidious than that.
If you look at the Colorado ballot access decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, while it was a victory for Trump in that it said that the states did not have the authority to borrow a candidate for federal office, It did say that the Congress could do so.
So I do think, and I've named names, I've talked about this on my show, The Stone Zone, which you can see on Rumble, also at my website, The Stone Zone, where I've written about it extensively.
What I think you have here is a revenge play by Kevin McCarthy, who's still sore about being dumped as the speaker, funded by the globalist, vulture capitalist Paul Singer, to whittle away The Republican majority in the House so that sometime between now and November, there are enough resignations and enough vacancies to make Hakeem Jeffries the Speaker of the House.
If that happens, the legislation has already been introduced by the odious Jamie Raskin from Maryland based on the court's decision to declare that Trump is...
I took part in an insurrection and is therefore ineligible to be on the ballot.
They would rubber stamp that 51-49 in the Senate and it's lights out for Donald Trump if that happens.
Now you've got four vacancies there right now.
Of those four vacancies, one of them will go back to the Democrats.
We have to win three special elections to bolster our margin.
We're, I think, at 218 today.
You need 217 to govern.
You need 217 to stay in a majority.
I think that that is the more significant play.
Now, some on the left have written and spoken openly about refusing to certify Trump's election if he wins in the Electoral College.
That surprises me because When Trump did that, based on election fraud, they said it was seditious.
They said that it was illegal and so on.
But now they're talking about doing it themselves.
The danger, I think, Mike, is not after the election.
I think the danger is right now, between now and November.
So let's take this fellow Mike Gallagher from Wisconsin.
He resigned.
He resigned with plenty of time.
Pardon me, he announced his resignation, but he has not resigned.
But he announced his resignation.
He could have done that in such a way that there'd be an immediate special election in the 6th District of Wisconsin where he would be replaced by a Republican.
But instead, he delayed his actual resignation date until such a time that it's too late under state law to have a special election so that seat will remain vacant.
That brings down the total number of members of the House and it brings down the total number that the Democrats need to take control.
So why did Gallagher do this?
Who induced him to do that?
Who's paying him to do that?
That, I think, is the question.
Yeah, because this is an attack on our democracy that I think, I mean, I did not anticipate this, that members of Congress could at least theoretically be offered large sums of money by wealthy people to resign at certain strategic moments.
Now, If this happens, the two scenarios that you outlined, pre-election and post-election, this will be perceived.
If the Democrats, in other words, pass a law, sign it into law that Trump cannot run, and let's say that happens in September, just as a guess, That will only be perceived by the American people as a treasonous act to deny the people of America their choice in the election.
I mean, that will be seen as election meddling the establishment, trying to dictate who you're allowed to even vote for.
Well, I would say two things.
First and foremost, for those out there who say, well, surely the courts would never allow that.
Unfortunately, the courts have actually invited it.
You need to read the Colorado decision to understand that.
So there would be no judicial recourse.
The harsh treatment of January 6th detainees, the expanded list of those yet to be arrested and prosecuted, the brutal punishment of some of them, this is meant to send the American people a message that you dare not raise a hand against this government or look what we will do to you.
What will happen in that instance?
Mike, I honestly don't know.
I really don't know.
Yes, the people will be very angry and very unhappy, but Look, I've made my whole life in democratic elections in our constitutional republic.
And therefore, to me, violence is never the answer.
But I do think the left is, they're playing for all the marbles here because they know that if Donald Trump gets back into power, he's an existential threat to everything they are doing.
If he cleans house at the Justice Department and in our intelligence agencies, and in those agencies where the public health is monitored and regulated, well, that is a direct threat to the established order and the status quo.
Well, let's explore this a little bit more because the Biden administration and the State Department just reacted to the Russia election, the reelection of Vladimir Putin, by saying that that's not a real election because there was only one real choice of a candidate who had a leading position. by saying that that's not a real election because there So then if the Democrats take Trump off the ballot, aren't they doing exactly what they accused Russia of doing?
Yes, but they have no fear of being accused of hypocrisy.
None whatsoever.
But even all around the world, though, there are election observers from other countries and the United Nations and so on.
There would be global consequences for removing Trump from the ballot.
And this is at a time when the United States of America is already increasingly being rejected by the Global South, where you have BRICS nations that are forming their own new currency systems to make the dollar obsolete.
And if the U.S. loses its moral position...
As being a country of freedom of speech and personal liberty and honest elections and humanitarian principles, by the way, all of which I think have been completely abandoned by the Biden regime.
The U.S. could find itself really isolated globally.
Or am I going too far with that?
What's your take?
I have to be honest with you.
I'm a political scientist, not a fortune teller.
So I'm not able to tell you what would happen.
I agree with your conclusions, but I don't know where that leaves us politically.
I mean, yes, the American people would think it was manifestly unfair.
But look at the reaction of the left when the Supreme Court, to their surprise, I think, ruled that you could the states on an individual basis, as coached by Norm Eisen and others on the left, the folks at Crewe, to try to do that.
They went absolutely insane.
If you saw Chris Hayes on MSNBC, this guy had a literal meltdown on the air calling this the MAGA Supreme Court.
Well, that's a surprise to me.
21 state attorney generals appealed to them to review the election results, and they refused to do so.
So the Supreme Court doesn't sound very MAGA to me.
Right.
Well, exactly.
So what you're saying is there's no mechanism that could stop this plot, right?
If enough members of the House who are Republicans resign between now and Election Day...
Well, the good news is you've got three special elections coming up in May and June, so that should widen our control by a couple seats.
Today, on the Stone Zone, actually, we went through a list of potential retirees based on who has endorsed Trump and who has not, who's hitting, you know...
Being in their 80s, who's been there 30 years, and who's taken money from Paul Singer, I think we've identified a list of potential perps if it goes down this way.
On the other hand, for example, in the race for Kevin McCarthy's seat, Scott Bau, who's a solid conservative and a very good man, he led in the first round, and I think he's going to take that seat.
Improvement over Kevin McCarthy, to say the least.
We have to win these next three special elections to try to avoid this calamity.
Again, I'm not saying this will happen, but I am saying that it is one of the fallback plays of the deep state.
I'm just, well, let's go to the post-election scenarios then.
Suppose that Trump, suppose he stays on the ballot, he wins enough electoral votes.
What are the mechanisms by which the Democrats, if they had a majority in the House at that point, could attempt to reject the certification of those electoral votes?
There's a fellow named Berman who wrote an extensive article about this for The Atlantic that I found shocking.
But on the other hand, if they control the machinery of government, if they control the criminal justice system and the police, the law enforcement agencies, the federal law enforcement agencies, could they make that stick?
Yes.
I think we call that authoritarianism.
We call it a dictatorship.
But...
Sadly, that is potentially where we are heading.
One of the things they want to do, Mike, is to goad us into saying that we would react violently to that.
That's part of the trick here.
They want us to say that.
I denounce that.
I do not subscribe to that view just for the folks over at Media Matters for America who are no doubt monitoring this at this very moment.
Well, look what they did to the Trump bloodbath quote when he was talking about the auto industry, right?
So they twisted that all.
All out of context, of course.
It's very interesting.
You should grab this.
I'll send it to you if you haven't seen it.
Of Nancy Pelosi describing how this works.
She says it's called the wrap-up smear.
I remember that, yeah.
We take a falsehood, we feed it to a friendly ally in the media.
They then print it as if it's a fact.
We then merchandise it, her words, and we point to it saying, see, it's been reported on, therefore it's true.
It's called the wrap-up smear.
How many of these have we seen?
Let's see, there was the Russian collusion hoax based on the Steele dossier.
There's one.
The Russians hacked the DNC and gave the information to WikiLeaks.
No evidence of that.
Just a claim by John Brennan.
Trump saying, oh, if you have COVID-19, drink bleach.
That'll solve the problem.
How about this one?
Trump has the nuclear codes.
He's keeping them at Mar-a-Lago.
He intends to sell them to the Russians or the Chinese.
They always use the exact same tactic Nancy called it right.
It's the wrap-up smear.
On top of that, the Democrats right now, because they are in power, they say violence is not acceptable and any form of violence is an insurrection.
And you and I both, we reject the use of violence to solve political differences.
But, as we saw when Trump was in power, the left condoned the use of violence to try to topple the Trump government.
I mean, for four years, the left was anti-government.
And they had Black Lives Matter and Antifa throwing Molotov cocktails, attacking federal officers and law enforcement officials, attacking federal buildings.
And CNN would report it's mostly peaceful.
But if it were conservatives doing those things, it would be an insurrection.
And in fact, we know if you follow this transition integrity project, And this woman, Mary McCord, who seems to be the principal actor in the Russian collusion hoax, the principal actor in the Ukrainian impeachment hoax, the principal actor in the January 6th controversy.
They've already had legislation introduced from the senator from Connecticut, Blumenthal.
You remember him, the great Vietnam War hero.
Right.
Who never served in Vietnam.
Right.
He's already introduced legislation to essentially strip the president's control of the military.
Let me redefine that.
They basically want to strip civilian control of the military, as our friend Alex Jones has hypothesized.
That way, when they foment riots across the country by BLM and Antifa, Trump would not have the authority as president to put those riots down.
And if he did so, well, then they would use that as an argument for impeachment and removal.
Right.
It's really it's really quite insidious.
It's like if if Trump wins, the left plans to use violence.
If Trump loses, the left plans to accuse the right of using violence.
Our Constitutional Republic is really imperiled at this moment.
And they have various different scenarios because they are so very desperate to stop the return of Donald Trump.
See, this is a wiser Donald Trump than the one they dealt with the first time.
He's now been through the Washington system.
He understands it much, much better.
He's got a much better fix on who the bad guys are, as well as who the good guys are.
So this is life and death for them.
Many people in government today would face prosecution, and I think rightfully so.
And we might return to a judicial system where the rule of law, which they talk about endlessly but they really don't support, is actually the accepted rule of thumb.
Right, right.
Right.
And let me just say for the record, I think you'll agree with me on this, that you and I both hope and pray for organized, legal and lawful elections and that the will of the people is accurately counted and represented.
And we don't want to see any any kind of violence.
We don't want to see America split apart.
In fact, I am happy to honor the outcome of any election, even if my candidate doesn't win, if the election is carried out with integrity.
That's how democracy is supposed to function, because as I understand it, voting is...
You know, the more modern way to choose representatives rather than the ancient ways of, you know, kings just killing each other.
We don't want that.
No, I think that's well put.
So what we're hoping for, indeed in my case, praying for, are free, fair, honest, transparent elections.
If we have those such elections, I actually think Trump will win.
But if we have such an election, and Trump is not allowed to take office as required by the Constitution, as laid out by the Constitution, I don't know what the consequences are.
And I certainly don't want to speculate about it.
Okay.
Well, fair enough.
I just think that if that happens, if Trump wins and it's clear to the American people that Trump has won and the Democrats disallow him from taking office, then they are unfolding a map of history in real time that none of us have ever seen. then they are unfolding a map of history in real And the Democrats could be laying out a very dangerous path for how things proceed.
And I hope that doesn't happen.
I hope the will of the people is honored, and I know you do too, Roger.

Also, have you seen these?
These are gold backs, and we've got different denominations to show you there.
They come in 50, 25, 10, 5, and 1s.
That's a stack of 1s.
This is 1 1,000th of a troy ounce of gold, and it's embedded in the polymer layers in the gold backs, and you can get them, again, at those different denominations, so it's good divisibility of gold.
And since the gold is in the goldback itself, it's not some fiat currency.
It's actually a piece of gold that you can use for gifts or barter or trade.
Even in a local community, if the grid goes down, a lot of people might be using gold and silver or goldbacks.
Now, if you go to our website, verifiedgoldbacks.com, that's our affiliate site, we do earn a little bit off your purchase there, but what we've done is we've done the laboratory testing.
And on that site, you'll see my lab test results, how we tested them using a kiln, using an ICP-MS mass spec instrument, using an acid stone test here as well.
We verified the purity and the masses of the gold that are embedded in these different bills.
And in fact, I've got here in these vials in my hands right here, this is actually one of the pellets of gold.
I melted it down into like a BB shape.
I don't know if you can see it, but I've got gold in these three vials right here.
Yeah, there you can kind of see it moving around there.
You can hear them.
And we did the tests on these, and this is the gold that came out of these goldbacks.
So we were able to confirm the gold is real.
It's 24 karat plus, and it actually exceeds the mass that's required.
Our recovery ranged from 102% to about 100 and, what was it, typically 105%.
I've got the results here.
Check this out.
Look at these photos.
I did all this myself.
So if you melt them down, you get this, and then you keep melting, you get it into like a pellet, and then you use an analytical balance in the laboratory, and you do the math.
It's pretty amazing.
At first, you get this gold foil, which is pretty cool, and then you can melt the foil into this BB pellet-looking thing.
Anyway, here's the recoveries we got from a low of 102.89% or 101.96%, that's the lowest, to 107% recovery.
And the bottom line is, if you want real gold in your hands that's divisible, that is also incredibly beautiful, that people instantly love, they recognize this, they see, wow, that's gold, and they're actually looking at gold.
This isn't paint.
This is the gold just kind of made really thin and put into this format and then sandwiched between polymers.
Goldbacks are your answer.
So check out verifiedgoldbacks.com.
And there you can purchase goldbacks and you can help support this platform at the same time because we earn a small percentage.
And this is a really good form of off-grid money.
And you might have gold coins or silver coins.
And I strongly encourage gold and silver coins, but a gold coin is a pretty big piece of value to try to trade with, you know?
You're at a farmer's market, like, I want a loaf of bread.
What do you have?
I have a one-ounce gold coin.
Well, that's worth $2,100 now, or $2,200.
Gold's skyrocketing.
So, what are you going to do?
Like, buy a loaf of bread and then give me change for the one ounce of gold?
No.
But if you're trying to buy that loaf of bread with a goldback, you say, hey, how would you like one one thousandth of an ounce of gold for that loaf of bread in this format, goldbacks, which actually has a premium over just the raw price of gold because it's better than just one one thousandth of an ounce of gold.
I mean, it's in a format that's...
It's beautiful to look at.
It's durable.
You can carry it.
It fits in a wallet or a pocket or a purse.
A lot of merchants will say, absolutely, I'll take that gold.
And now you can buy a loaf of bread or you can buy a bag of potatoes or whatever, depending on what the economy looks like after the debt collapse.
I don't know what it's going to look like exactly, but I know I want gold and silver, and I want to have lots of different options of money that works off-grid.
So, yeah, our grid's not reliable.
Our monetary system is not reliable.
The currency's not reliable.
But you know what you can count on?
Physical gold and silver in your hands.
That's what you can count on.
It doesn't need a password.
You don't need to log in.
It doesn't need the bank's permission to have value.
It doesn't need the backing of a government.
You don't have to have faith in the treasury to confiscate money from people.
This has value all by itself.
And gold has had value for centuries.
I mean, come on, millennia, what am I saying?
And it will continue to have value long after the collapse of the dollar and probably the collapse of Western civilization itself.
So, there you go.
That's why the wealthy are buying gold like crazy.
That's why gold is spiking.
What is it now?
Let me actually bring it up.
Gold.
Here it is right now, gold at $2,128.
Silver at $23.67.
These are all skyrocketing.
Bitcoin is skyrocketing.
Gold is skyrocketing.
Monero is skyrocketing.
Why?
Because people who know what's about to happen, they are bailing out of the banks.
They're bailing out of the dollars.
They're getting out of the system.
They're going to off-grid forms of asset protection.
And that's gold and silver and land and certain types of crypto and maybe food supplies or ammunition supplies.
And if you want food, of course, check us out at healthrangerstore.com and we've got you covered there.
So consider your options, do your research, and make sure you are ready for what's about to happen.
Look at that.
That's beautiful.
That's gold.
This is so cool.
The 50 is thick.
It is very thick.
And it's much larger than the 1.
Because there's 51 thousandths of an ounce of gold in this.
And if you could feel it, it's heavier.
It's thicker.
Because the gold is actually in there, you really can't put much more gold in a bill than fifty one-thousandths of an ounce.
So they've done a great job with this, the gold-backed company, and this is something that has really intrigued a lot of people, and it's another form of having stores of value that are highly divisible and have high utility, more utility than just a one-ounce coin itself.
So be sure to check these out again, verifiedgoldbacks.com.
And thank you for your support.
Get ready because we're headed into interesting times.
Be safe.
Take care.
