	Welcome everyone to today's interview.
	In the studio, we have Maria Zee all the way from Australia.
	Welcome back to Texas, Maria.
	It's great to have you back. Thank you so much, Mike.
	It's great to be back. Oh man, I'm just so happy that you're here in the States and in our state or our Republic of Texas.
	Republic of Texas, that's right.
	You have been doing amazing work from your website, your network, MariaZ at ZMedia.com.
	And that's a triple E, Z, triple E, Media.com.
	I just want to, you know, let people follow you there.
	Thank you.
	But tell us, I mean, before we get into the issues that you brought for us here today, tell us about how things are going with you.
	And, you know, you're filling in for, you're doing the fourth hour, sometimes hosting for Alex Jones and so on.
	How's it going?
	Yeah, look, in terms of being able to deliver the information, InfoWars has been great because I am able to contribute there freely with a lot of people who I would say are critical thinkers.
	You know, years and years of really dissecting complex information.
	So it's been a real blessing to have the help of that platform.
	To get out information, of course, we've contributed as well to Brighteon in the past, so I'm very grateful for your help with that as well, because the censorship in Australia, especially with the eSafety Commissioner, you know, pulling down opinions she doesn't like from, I guess, the whole world's internet.
	She's a maniac. But, you know, it has been very, very helpful, and I find...
	One thing that I think, Mike, in my assessment, and I certainly mean no offense to anyone, but I think that a lot of the Australian issues that I've reported on in the past, Americans feel like, well, that's never going to touch us.
	And it's just not the case.
	Now, you really experienced tyranny firsthand in terms of crackdown on free speech and so on.
	And I think I first became aware of you during the COVID years and how Australia and New Zealand in particular...
	Just like went off the deep end with tyranny.
	And who was it? Ardern, I think, in New Zealand.
	Jabsinda, we call her.
	Yeah, yeah, that's right, Jabsinda.
	And then all the different states around Australia and New South Wales and so on.
	Those people were losing their minds.
	Just went absolutely crazy.
	I always understood Australia to be a country of more free-thinking people.
	Why were they so obedient to go along with this?
	Or were they not? I mean...
	Do I have a misperception of what the situation was there?
	It seems to me like a lot of people sure went along with it.
	Look, if you consider the fact that the population is approximately 26 million people, and we had in estimation that the higher estimates suggest that there were up to or more than 1 million people in Canberra at the Capitol protesting at one stage, protesting mandates. Oh, that's huge then.
	That's like four or almost five percent of the population.
	That's a huge portion of the population.
	That's right. And so, you know, even that first protest that was deemed illegal, you know, because you need to allow me to protest.
	It defeats the purpose of protesting, right?
	But anyway, that first protest in New South Wales that was deemed illegal, 500,000 people showed up to that.
	Wow. Wow. From one state, which I think, if I'm not mistaken, the population of New South Wales is about 6 million, roughly, or maybe 8 million.
	So, you know, or at least of Sydney, even.
	So a huge, huge portion of the population was against this.
	The problem, though, is that I think Australia has for a very long time been demoralized and beaten down.
	And it's essentially, you know, pseudo, almost, almost openly socialist now.
	Almost openly socialist.
	Well, so is the left in America.
	Correct, yes.
	And so I think that years and years of demoralisation and also a culture of not being the ultimate neighbour that cares about the person living next door, I think that has been something that really made the whole dobbing your neighbour successful in Australia.
	So there's been a lot longer...
	The operation of social erosion, I think, has been longer there than, say, somewhere like here where, you know, I can just speak about Texas.
	People actually care about each other.
	Like, this has been my general experience in Texas, or at least in central Texas.
	It feels like 20 years ago when people were still normal, Mike.
	That's how it feels. Texas is a very friendly place.
	Mm-hmm. That's for sure.
	But back to Australia, it seems like the government is, they didn't really back away from tyranny.
	No. So they're primed for the next step of tyranny, which I know that's some of what you want to talk about today.
	But get into, well, let me back up.
	So in the U.S., Kamala is promising to have price controls on food.
	That will lead to scarcity and rationing.
	And then the rationing will have to be enforced with some kind of biometric scan at the grocery store.
	So maybe an eye scan or a hand scan, mark of the beast, whatever.
	And then that will be tied to clearly some kind of CBDC system where your wallet will be locked down if you say anything on social media that the administration doesn't like, right?
	Yes. So all that's coming, isn't it?
	Well, yes, it is, because we already have shadows of that.
	And I can tell you, as an Australian, that the level of censorship, nowhere was safe from censorship, Mike.
	I mean, the U.S. government has been caught in the Twitter files of censoring doctors, everyday Americans, violating the First Amendment.
	Censoring us. Yeah, violating you, of course.
	Yeah, we were named. Huge lawsuit.
	Yes. You're famous now.
	I'm famous. Famous for suing the Department of Defense, maybe.
	Yes, and we did that interview where you announced that, and so that's just amazing.
	I'm not sure if people grasp how huge the battle that you're taking on for them is.
	It's all behind the scenes, really.
	But it is part of the system of what's happening.
	Yeah, yeah. But you asked me before about, you know, where this is going to lead, and I can talk to you about Australia, or even just look at the UK, where people are going to prison for expressing an opinion that the state doesn't like.
	Unbelievable. Australia are now using cross-border censorship via the eSafety Commissioner.
	She keeps losing in court, but she keeps trying to censor people from other countries.
	You have the UK threatening extradition for people that say things that they don't like.
	Yeah, let me stop you there. I think that was the Bristol police that said that if Americans say something that the Bristol police don't like, they will issue an arrest warrant and seek the extradition of Americans to face trial in the UK. Correct.
	Yeah, and I would say as a Texan, come and f***ing take it, you Bristol police.
	Yeah. Come and take it.
	I mean, no, seriously, this is absurd.
	You're not going to be successful trying that, but the fact that they think they can do it.
	I mean, 1776, Maria, we already fought this war.
	Are they trying to make us fight it again?
	I think they are. There's also another case of a person from New Zealand, Kim.com.
	People may be familiar with that account.
	Yeah, Kim.com. Huge account. Very smart man.
	He is. Courageous.
	Yeah, and the U.S. is trying to extradite him now to face charges here.
	Now, you know, really the precedent was set with Julian Assange that a foreign government can, you know, take you and do whatever they want with you, essentially.
	Rainer Fulmich as well.
	Kidnapped from Mexico.
	That's right. No extradition treaty between Germany and Mexico, yet he was taken.
	That's right. He's still in jail right now.
	He is. He is.
	And so, you know, you see these examples, these shadows of what is to come, Mike, through this system of cross-border persecution, cross-border surveillance, cross-border everything.
	And then when you bring it down to how this is on top of not being able to speak freely, on top of the threat of your opinions landing you in prison, then as well squeezing people financially.
	So this is where the Kamala thing comes in, right?
	The price controls.
	I think, I believe it was Chicago that I saw, they are going to, they're proposing state-controlled grocery stores.
	That's true.
	Yeah, state-run groceries.
	Right. So, no more farmers.
	And, of course, you'll be subject to God knows what sort of checklist to go and buy your food to feed your family.
	Injections galore. You know, recently, one of the health officials in Australia said, oh, well, there won't be any more mandates in future.
	Well, they don't need to issue mandates when you have a digital ID system set up because...
	All of a sudden, your bank account doesn't work if you don't comply, and the WHO's not backing off.
	We see this increasing pressure, and it's happening in every country, Mike.
	But this is going to lead to mass famine, too.
	Yes. Obviously. Yes.
	And, you know, we both know Michael Jan, and he speaks of how famine is being engineered, war, famine, and pestilence, right?
	Right out of the Bible, by the way.
	War, famine, and pestilence, they go together.
	But this engineered famine through price controls, it's obvious cause and effect.
	If you tell a grocery store you can no longer raise prices on bread to reflect the increased price that your wholesaler is charging because of the increased price of wheat, because of the increased price of transportation and oil and labor and so on, if you can't sell bread and make a little tiny bit, like 2% margin, There will be no bread on the shelves.
	And then the government will come along and say, well, we'll give you food, but you have to have the jabs.
	You have to give up your guns.
	You have to not speak out against us.
	These kinds of things. This is full-blown, centrally planned economies, full-blown communism, or Kamala-nunism, or however you say that.
	I don't know the right way to combine that, but it's Kamala-communism.
	Kamalism? Kamalism?
	I don't know. Maybe.
	I'm not sure. Well, that's where I just have this article from Infowars with me, but the Biden administration is now rushing digital ID plans.
	And I was warning about this, Mike, and not patting myself on the back at all.
	But this is just going back to the statement that I made earlier about the fact that Americans often feel like a lot of this is not going to touch them because of the First and Second Amendment.
	But it's just not the case.
	That digital ID bill has been sitting there for a couple of years in the background, you know, just waiting for the right time.
	And, oh, we have an election infection again, monkeypox, and now is the perfect time to bring in digital ID, just as every other country is doing it.
	Indonesia's just done it. Australia's done it.
	They're rolling out this infrastructure now.
	So that maybe when cyber COVID, the big shutdown comes off, comes out, and you know the WEF has said the only way to bring everyone back online is with a digital vaccine.
	What do you think that is? That's digital ID. Zero trust model, not allowed to use the internet without a digital ID. Oh, by the way, you can only shop at these grocery stores.
	Your bank account won't work.
	All of this compounding to ultimate control, it is hell on earth.
	But can they pull it off?
	This is a question because I was thinking about CBDCs being rolled out.
	Even if the government tells the whole country here in the U.S., says, well, everybody has to use CBDCs and you have to, like all the grocery stores, are only required to accept payment in CBDCs.
	Number one, lots of people don't have mobile devices.
	Secondly, there's a whole generation of mostly elderly people who can't figure out how to use them.
	And there's plenty of other people who just refuse to.
	People like us, we're not going to go into that system.
	So a retailer like a grocery store, if they went to CBDC only, wouldn't they lose more than half their business or something like that?
	And then there could be a competing grocery store that says, well, we'll accept CBDC. You know, regular money.
	Unless the government outlaws that and then raids them and shuts them down.
	That's the point. Like they're doing to Amish farmers, for example.
	You know, just harass them and harass them and harass them.
	And so, yes, I agree with you, Mike.
	That is the way forward. And so people need to see what's happening and start building that now.
	Like grocery stores, retailers, you know, all of these people should be saying, we will never do CBDC. And then people should flock to those places now.
	Right. Give them the money, the financial support to be stronger or strong enough to resist that system.
	Yeah. You know, everyone needs to band together so that if the government does try and bring new rules like that, I mean, I don't know in the West if we really understand how quickly we will fall if there's no food.
	I don't think people understand that.
	And so if we go to the example of Chicago where they're saying only state-run grocery stores, well, then the system's very easy, isn't it?
	You don't have a choice but to comply to eat.
	But people need to know that's what's coming if they have their way, so we need to build now.
	Yeah, well, those local relationships with farmers and growing your own food matters.
	But by the way, Michael Jan did just complete 40 days of fasting.
	He did. And I was joking with him.
	I said, yeah, that's famine training, right?
	But no, he was doing it for health reasons.
	He's in Japan. But...
	Most people actually couldn't go 40 days without food, without losing their minds.
	I mean, it's like four days.
	Cities would break down, mass social chaos, and it almost seems like that's what the government wants.
	This is a plan to cause a nationwide chaotic revolt and the complete collapse of the rule of law.
	I mean, if you were going to do it, this is one of the ways that you would do it.
	Right, right.
	Right, right.
	And so they're floating these ideas of limiting people's access to information, limiting people's ability to even think freely, Mike.
	I mean, this is what it goes to.
	It's voicing your opinions is illegal over there now.
	It's horrendous.
	And by the way, the Americans have been instrumental in helping the people of the UK, you know, because of their First Amendment.
	So this is crucial.
	You know, thank you to you and all the others who've spoken in defense of these people because they need it.
	Even quoting scripture is a criminal offense in the UK and Canada now.
	And Canada.
	And Canada.
	Is it hate speech?
	Well, yeah.
	We've covered people who've been arrested and thrown in prison for quoting scripture.
	Also, silently praying outside an abortion clinic, not blocking traffic, is a criminal offense in the USA, as well as in the UK. But the UK, I'd like to talk about the UK for a second.
	The UK government is committing suicide on a national level.
	And the people, did you see the latest news where they're clearing out thousands of violent prisoners from their jail?
	To make room for moms and dads who don't like the police.
	Yeah. Exactly. Yep. So if you, you know, tweeted on social media, hey, guess what?
	There's a whole bunch of non-citizens who are invading our neighborhood.
	Oh, you go to jail. Yes.
	And to make room for you, they took a violent criminal, put them on the streets.
	Yes. Yes. Yes.
	What the hell is that?
	They're destroying it.
	This is all by design.
	And I think, Mike, what I'm seeing is they're trying to build society to this boiling point where, again, you get the test run of the UK.
	They get you to a point where you revolt and then they just come down really hard.
	Right.
	And just like COVID, they do it in pockets.
	They haven't done it all at once in one place.
	So right after the unrest in the UK started, Australia put out a warning that they've raised the terrorism level, terrorism threat level.
	And they started rehashing stories about one particular tragedy where, you know, lots of questions to the story, but one particular shooting where police were tragically killed.
	So were the two people that were involved.
	But these happen to be off grid anti-vaxxers.
	right? So now there's all of this in the media.
	You know, an extremism expert came out on the ABC and said, if you know anyone who believes in the last book of the Bible, you need to report them to the police.
	Yeah. What? Oh, yes.
	Yes, yes, yes. This happened in Australia.
	Extremism expert through Deakin University, which is linked with the WEF. If you know anyone who believes in the last book of the Bible, you need to report them to the police because these two cop killers happen to believe in the Bible, right?
	So it's just insane.
	Wow. It's insane. By the way, I don't know if you know this, but I've been teaching the Bible lately, and the Bible is the most anti-woke, most red-pilled book that's ever been published.
	And I tweeted out, I said, if the Bible were published for the first time today, it's so anti-woke that Amazon would ban it.
	Yep, yep. Like, if you actually understand what you're reading, it's really powerful.
	Yeah. And the book of Revelation, what it talks about there, you know, I mean, a sign of things.
	I think... I think the book of Revelation talks about things that happen repeatedly.
	So I don't think it's limited to one time, like one year.
	Some of those things have happened in the past, and they keep happening again.
	Like the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
	Like what Michael Yon talks about.
	Famine, war, pestilence.
	These all go together. But the thing is, humanity never learns, do we?
	You know, we just keep repeating the same mistakes and falling for the same tyranny over and over again.
	And then there's a collapse and then there's a rebuilding.
	And then for a while people are like, hey, let's behave like normal human beings.
	But that doesn't last very long.
	It doesn't. It doesn't.
	I am in awe of God's patience with humanity.
	Can I just say? Because we do not deserve anywhere near even a millimeter of the grace that he gives us.
	Seriously. Seriously. Well, he may be hurling flaming mountains our direction soon.
	You never know. We deserve it, Mike, but he hasn't.
	Sorry, going back to the other point, I know I've kind of gone off track a couple of times, but the UK was that test run, the initial test run of how they are bringing people to this point of insanity because of the insanity of their laws and behaviours.
	And the government's provoking it.
	The government's provoking it because they want the response.
	Now, that happened first in the UK. Now Australia's raised its warning about this.
	You know, Biden's been talking about the threat of white people forever.
	You know, the most peaceful people.
	But anyway. But I do think that this is just like COVID, where they tested this technique, tested this...
	I guess, test in one area, did a test in another area, and then they would interchange.
	Do you remember how they would do that?
	And then they would try something in Australia that they tried in the US and then back and forth to see what they could get away with.
	That's right. This is what they're doing now by riling the people up in pockets, because if they did it at the same time in every country, there would be too much revolt.
	Too much. And the way that they ever back down is when people push back.
	Yes. When there's an outcry or protest or what have you, then they back off temporarily and they just wait a little bit for that to go out of the news cycle and then they sort of reintroduce it in another way.
	But Maria, you know, you're a big picture thinker here.
	And so is our audience.
	They get this. But if you zoom out and look at what's happening on a planetary scale, isn't it clear that the people who run this planet are seriously at war with the human race?
	Yes. They are Satanists, Mike.
	They want to bring about the mark of the beast.
	They want to bring about the Antichrist, and everything that they're doing is for that ultimate goal.
	Now, that may not be tomorrow.
	It may even be a thousand years from now.
	We actually don't know, because it's not the first time that humanity's thought, this is it.
	This is the beast. It's happening, right?
	So there's been many times where Christians have thought, We're good to go.
	When the church surrendered to Rome and said, we will do what the government wants.
	Yeah, it was really serious.
	I was very, very grateful.
	The Serbian Orthodox Church in Australia actually put out a strong condemnation of the mRNA injections.
	Good for them. I know people that got to keep their jobs because the archdiocese put that out.
	They actually saved people's lives and livelihoods with that letter.
	That's what every church should have done.
	Absolutely. Employers could not decline requests from people that were baptized Serbian Orthodox because of that condemnation.
	Every church should have done that, Mike.
	Absolutely. See, the church has power if they choose to invoke it in favor of the people and the teachings of Christ.
	But instead, too much of our modern-day churches, especially the megachurches, the really popular ones, you know, the ones where they don't even use the Bible anymore.
	No, it's like a book of poems or something.
	Yeah, right. It's pushed out a bunch of nonsense.
	By the way, did you see with the DNC, the conference happening in Chicago, did you see that the women's group, they forgot the words of singing the national anthem?
	I didn't catch that.
	I watched most of it.
	They could not sing the national anthem because they have no ties to this country.
	No. They hate America.
	They say they love America, but they love the socialist version, the DEI version of the Democrat America, which is not America.
	It's not America. That's something else. That's UN, that's Schwab, that's Satan.
	You know, that's not America.
	But that's what they want it to be.
	No, they love having power over America.
	They love destroying America.
	The thing is, they know they're liars.
	They're all just acting out, you know?
	But think about it. They couldn't recite the Pledge of Allegiance, probably.
	They can't sing the national anthem, not even badly.
	We'll take a bad rendition if you can just cite the words.
	You know, it's fine. It's not an easy song to sing.
	Stand in the dropping. Right, right.
	Do you just know the opening verse?
	Give us that. Do you know how to spell America without a KKK in it?
	Because that's what the Democrats stand for, right?
	But these are serious questions.
	The Democrat Party has lost all connection with what America stands for.
	And I would say in the same way, modern-day Australian political leaders, they have lost touch with what Australia was founded on.
	Yes. Which was a can-do spirit of independence.
	Yes. And this is the problem, Mike.
	See, I don't actually have a problem with some immigration.
	I don't have a problem with that.
	Me neither. If you love my country so much that you will do whatever it takes to get there, learn my language, learn our language, learn our laws...
	Some history.
	What I think is required, by the way, if you're planning to immigrate.
	You know, at bare minimum, learn the language.
	You know, we have people in Australia that have been on welfare for 20 years, haven't learned the language.
	I'm not even kidding. Like, this happens in our country.
	The welfare is, you know, just handed out over there like crazy, like no man's business.
	And I know because I used to work in the industry.
	But anyway... Off the topic.
	I don't have a problem with people who genuinely want to do the right thing and become part of a nation.
	The problem is you have a lot of people, I can just speak about Australia, coming to that country right now.
	Mass, massive amounts of legal immigration.
	It's not no borders.
	They're coming legally. They're being invited in.
	And there is no identity to ask them to...
	Become part of, because the identity's been destroyed.
	Every major chain bans, you know, one of our major supermarkets bans Australia Day merchandise.
	That's banned, but you can sell transgender Easter bunnies, I guess.
	You know, it's just, they banned Australia Day merchandise.
	What's Australia Day?
	Australia Day is the, it's kind of like our...
	You could call it like an Independence Day.
	I mean, it's a very different concept.
	Oh, I see. I'm sorry.
	I thought it was like a brand that's called Australia Day.
	No, no, no. It's a day that we celebrate our country.
	Oh, okay. I got it. Yeah. And so they've been trying to cancel this for years through saying that it's offensive to Aboriginal people who, by the way, we're all together now in this country.
	We're all Australians. This is Australia.
	But anyway, that's how they've been doing it.
	And now it's like an outright cancellation.
	No more Australia Day.
	They hate Australia the same way that the left hates America.
	They hate it. They hate it.
	Quick question. What are the ethnicities of most of the immigrants to Australia?
	Southeast Asian? A lot of Indians.
	Some Indians, yes. A lot of Indians.
	A lot of, I don't know what the makeup of Asians that are coming in is.
	I know we have a lot of Chinese.
	We have a lot of Chinese investors, people that actually live in China, buying up property.
	And then, of course, you know, they're far wealthier than Australians because we're taxed through the nose.
	Yeah. Absolutely.
	And then the demand for property is going up because too many people coming in, and they just keep raising the prices.
	Why is a foreign country allowed to buy property in my country and rent it out to my people?
	I can't do it with their country.
	Good question. But you know, what's interesting is that Japan, during its stock market rise up to 1989, when the Nikkei crashed badly, Japan was buying up Australian property like crazy in the 1980s.
	Wow. And then they would use that as a down payment to buy land in Australia.
	And there was a Japanese takeover of real estate in Australia, right?
	And then what happened is the Nikkei crashed in 1989.
	And again, it crashed hard and frankly still hasn't fully recovered even to this day.
	And then the Japanese investors had to sell all that property.
	So then it went back mostly into the hands of the Australians.
	Right. But now what you're saying from China is the exact same thing happening.
	So China's debt-based system is also hyping up the overstated values of real estate, and then they're using that as down payments to buy property in Australia.
	Yes. So it's the same thing.
	Again, history is just repeating itself.
	Do you remember the bushfires, the tragic bushfires in Australia?
	Yeah, I forgot what year that was.
	A year or two before COVID, if I'm not mistaken.
	But we actually, in the middle of that, in the middle of needing a considerable amount of water, decided that that would be a great time to sell an entire lake to China.
	Really? Yes. To sell a lake?
	Yeah, an entire lake.
	And so that was approved by the Australian government?
	Yes, it was. Yes, that was approved.
	Oh my. Yes. So Australia is selling its resources.
	It is. We have roads that are owned by foreign countries.
	And coal is a big export out of Australia.
	Yes, it is. And Tucker Carlson was recently in the country talking about how Australian energy prices really should be Extremely low.
	Yes, it should be. But no, we sell our coal to China and then we buy back renewables, Mike.
	That's what we do with our resources.
	Like the solar panels. Hey, what does electricity cost per kilowatt hour in Australia?
	Any idea? I really don't know what it is per kilowatt hour, but I can tell you, you know, I know people that pay about $1,000 a quarter for their electricity bills, sometimes more.
	It doesn't seem crazy compared to California or Hawaii.
	I don't know what the bills are there, but I know that Gavin Newsom recently just addressed a reporter who said, hey, my energy bills aren't going down.
	And he said, oh, no, they are. Yeah, yeah.
	He was just gaslighting them.
	Oh, my mistake. Yeah.
	Silly me. I thought the number was getting bigger, but it's getting smaller.
	Integers, you know. But yeah, Australia should be paying, I would say Australia should be paying less than 10 cents US per kilowatt hour, given the amount of coal that Australia has.
	But they're not willing to tap into it.
	The government's not. No, no, they don't want to.
	They want to keep...
	Do you know that our highest personal income tax bracket in Australia is 45%, Mike?
	45%. Really?
	If you earn over, I think it's $190,000, which in this day and age is not a huge amount, right?
	I mean, obviously there are not as many people that are in, not many people in that earning bracket, but still $190,000 being taxed at 45%.
	We're talking about people that go spend their lives in university to get degrees or spend their lives establishing successful businesses, right?
	And then to get taxed 45% on that, it is insanity.
	The tax rates in Australia are crazy.
	They are. The food prices, the energy prices.
	That was my next question. What's the price of food in Australia today compared to where you are right now?
	It's almost as bad as here comparably, I would say.
	With the exchange rate, it's pretty much almost as bad as here.
	It's not quite as bad yet, but it's getting there.
	Wow. It is getting there.
	Does that include Vegemite?
	No. I don't know.
	I don't eat it. I always have to tease you about Vegemite.
	None of us from Texas know what that stuff is.
	We have no idea. I don't think any Australians really know what it is either.
	God knows what they put in that stuff.
	I think it's fermented yeast.
	It's something like that, along with all the other numbers that go on the back of the ingredients list.
	It's like a bunch of chemicals that you shouldn't be ingesting.
	But if Vegemite has 500% higher inflation, we won't care about that in Texas.
	We only care if barbecue brisket goes up.
	Hey, the brisket here is phenomenal.
	Yes, it is. It is phenomenal.
	When I went back to Australia last time after eating Texas barbecue, I went back to my favorite barbecue place over there.
	It was never the same. That's right.
	And here in Texas, of course, we care about the price of ammo and primers for making ammo, the price of diesel to power our tractors and such and our big diesel trucks and things like that.
	I'm just kidding.
	I'm just overloading you with a little bit more Texas culture.
	I'm pretty sure our fuel prices in Australia are higher than here.
	I think you're right. Yes.
	So, I mean, you know, the cost of living over there, like, as I said, comparable with the exchange rate, it's pretty much, I think it's almost there.
	I mean, I don't know specifics, but it's almost there.
	But you add in extremely high taxes.
	That's the element.
	And obedience demands from a government that's completely insane.
	You know, we have Governor Abbott here in Texas who really pushes back hard against a lot of the Washington insanity.
	Yes. Do you have any kind of equivalent governor in Australia like that?
	We don't have governors. We have a governor general only.
	And that's a little bit of a different position to what it is here.
	We have premiers who lead over the states.
	That's right. And no, they're all as bad as each other.
	Wow. But I would say that we have senators that are good.
	like Senator Malcolm Roberts, Senator Alex Antic.
	These are people, I'm just naming a couple, I won't go through the whole list, but these are people that stood up against mandates, you know, very vocal, standing up against the WEF.
	Senator Alex Antic actually introduced into parliament, got enough signatures, I think he got 55,000 signatures to introduce a motion for the rest of the Senate to disclose their ties to the World Economic Forum.
	Oh, wow.
	80% voted against disclosing their ties.
	Of course they did.
	So you, and here's the thing, if you think the WEF's great, then why would you have a problem disclosing your ties?
	So you know there's something wrong with your involvement with this group, 80%.
	So, I mean, what are you going to do with a government that's at least 80% compromised?
	So let me ask you an economic question about ties between the US and Australia.
	Because as you know, there are a lot of intelligence sharing operations now and military industrial complex operations.
	I believe the dollar is headed for a collapse.
	Well, let me be clear, sort of a debt collapse, a collapse of the ability of the U.S. to sell the currency debt to other countries.
	What do you think will happen to Australia and the Australian dollar when the US dollar suddenly is no longer the world reserve currency?
	I mean, how will that affect Australia?
	Well, what is the alternative to the US dollar right now?
	I mean, the only viable alternative...
	Yeah. I mean, people buy euros.
	Or bricks, for example.
	Well, I mean, coming up, it's going to be bricks.
	Coming up, it's going to be bricks. But right now, people buy euros and yen or, I mean, the smart people are buying gold.
	Of course. Right. But I mean, other currencies, maybe the Canadian dollar, maybe the Singapore currency.
	Well, as a world currency, nothing else really stands to the U.S. dollar.
	That's right. BRICS could be an alternative.
	It's an upcoming alternative.
	What are Australia's relations with Russia like?
	Russia is demonized at every single chance.
	No, Australia is not going to be welcomed into the BRICS system.
	Not a chance. Not a chance. Despite their, whatever their weird relationship with China is, you know, we recently had revelations of a spy inside government that was actually a Chinese spy, but we're not going to tell the people because it would be detrimental to democracy.
	Okay, that makes sense.
	Right. And so, you know, despite their very strange relationship with China, I don't think that Australia would be welcomed into BRICS, no.
	I don't think so either. You're supplying Ukraine with, you know, money and tanks and, you know, whatever else you're doing.
	It's going to affect Australia, absolutely.
	Okay, so it seems to me that the Western nations...
	The UK, the US, NATO nations like France, probably not Turkey though, but Canada, Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand and Australia, they're going to become really, they're going to suffer a global economic embargo.
	That all the other nations, which represent most of the population, most of the energy, most of the natural resources, including minerals and energy coming out of Russia, minerals out of China, food coming out of India, and so on, those other nations are going to trade amongst each other in a very vibrant way, while the Western nations that I just mentioned will just have increasingly collapsing currencies and hyperinflation and a decline in the standard of living.
	I see the US and Canada and Australia becoming impoverished third world nations.
	If they have their way, that is what will happen.
	Absolutely. I think that Trump will change that.
	You do? I do. I think that there is a very good chance that he will impact...
	Positively, the other Western nations.
	Yes. You know, love him, hate him, agree with everything, disagree with some things.
	It doesn't matter. The man has a track record of benefiting America.
	Well, he's good at business for sure.
	Correct. Yes. And that will have a flow and effect on the other Western nations.
	I can tell you that, you know, whatever happens here, Australia's a few months behind.
	So that's, you know, even some of the things that I've predicted are going to come to Australia, I've literally just been from watching some of the things here, you know, drag queen, pedophile time.
	Months and months and months before that was a problem in Australia, like a visible problem, and I said it was coming, I was accused en masse of importing a culture war.
	This is a true story.
	Oh, yes. And I said, you watch.
	Just in a few short months, we will have this problem.
	By the end of the year, we were hosting drag queen pedophile time inside parliament behind locked doors with children inside.
	That's crazy. Because the drag queens didn't feel safe.
	The drag queens didn't feel safe.
	Correct, yes. What about the children?
	No, they're fine. They're locked inside Parliament with the drag queens, Mike.
	I don't know about...
	That doesn't sound safe to lock children in with the drag queens.
	I'm not sure. No, I can't imagine that it would be.
	But that is what happened.
	Wow. So, you know, as I said earlier, you watch what's happening because we're not just dealing with isolated problems in this country or that country, although that is sometimes true.
	But the agenda is the same.
	The agenda is to destroy mankind...
	Depopulate, force us all into these smart cities.
	Yes. Which, by the way, to date, I have not found any in Russia.
	No evidence of smart cities yet in Russia.
	At least not as part of the C40 Cities Network or the Global Covenant of Mayors Network.
	None of that. Well, did you see that Putin announced that you can immigrate to Russia now?
	I did. And he's dropped the requirements.
	You don't have to learn to speak Russian.
	Mm-hmm. It's a tricky language.
	You don't have to learn any history of Russia, which is good because it's over a thousand years.
	It's a lot to cover, much more than the U.S. or Australia.
	And you don't have to go through the normal process.
	You can just almost show up, hey, I'm tired of these Western cultures.
	I want to just live in peace in Russia, and you're in.
	You know what's really funny? I was speaking to a couple of people just the other day, who I just met in my travels, and one of the ladies asked me, are a lot of people leaving Australia?
	And I said, yes, actually, quite a lot.
	And she said, where are they going?
	And I said, well, I know quite a lot of people going to Russia.
	Do you? I've heard of quite a few.
	I just heard from a family member that 20 families have gone to Serbia.
	She knows 20 families are all going to Serbia because they can't stand the madness.
	Serbia's marching against homosexual parades and things like that.
	They want conservative values.
	When I told that lady this, she was really surprised that people would choose somewhere like Russia.
	And yet, you know, she shared it with her husband and her husband said, no, that makes sense because it's a conservative country.
	It has conservative values.
	It has become, yes. And so the choice of Putin, I see it as somewhat, you know, smart in the sense that I don't like that he's telling people they don't have to learn the language, which you will eventually learn it, but you should learn the language of the country you're going to.
	You should learn the language, yes.
	But he's smart. At least a couple hundred words.
	Because he's going to attract...
	Who's he going to attract, Mike? Hard-working people, people that want to do well, people that want to see a country prosper.
	This is the people that he's going to attract with that.
	Well, I heard of a family here from Central Texas that was part of a church and they were doing homeschooling and they couldn't deal with all the LGBT attacks on their children.
	They picked up and they moved to Russia so that they could attend a church, worship freely, and homeschool their children.
	And... Affordable housing and land and food was a big thing for them.
	They didn't have a lot of money.
	Apparently, in Russia, in certain parts, land and housing is incredibly affordable and food is cheap.
	Right. Well, it makes sense.
	I mean, even if it wasn't extremely affordable...
	People have the peace of mind to not be harassed with all of this Marxist nonsense all the time, you know, to then go out and make something of themselves.
	People are getting demoralised in the West.
	I understand it, Mike.
	I do. Absolutely, they are.
	But... I still can't figure out how to pronounce the name.
	Is it Zaporizhia or Zaporizhia, the nuclear power plant?
	And then they have the Russian pronunciation, and then they have the Ukrainian pronunciation for the same city.
	The Russian one is correct, obviously.
	Which one's the Russian one? I don't even know.
	I don't know. But there's two names to say every city, and I can't even remember one of them.
	It's okay. I think sometimes I say Kiev, Kiev, you know.
	Yeah, it used to be Kiev in mainstream media, and now they all say Kiev.
	Maybe it's offensive to Zelensky.
	Just like monkeypox, apparently.
	Do you know the World Health Organization?
	They changed it to MPOX. MPOX. But do you know why?
	They said that calling it monkeypox was offensive to Africans.
	Oh, I thought it was offensive to monkeys.
	None of us are thinking of Africans as monkeys.
	That's them thinking that way.
	That's what they're saying? That's what they're saying.
	They're saying we're calling them monkeys.
	That's crazy. It's like, we didn't say that.
	You thought of that. You're equating these people to monkeys.
	How wrong is that? When I hear the word monkey, I think of a monkey.
	Correct. I don't think of people.
	What are they talking about? That's what they're saying.
	It's offensive to African people.
	None of us thought, you know, of linking monkeys with African people.
	That is so ridiculous. Well, but let's get to some truth about monkeypox, right?
	And we're going to say monkeypox.
	That's what I've been doing. Right.
	So they call it monkeypox, but a lot of it's just side effects of immune system suppression from the original COVID-19.
	Yes, correct. They just call it monkeypox.
	In fact, there was a study that came out of China.
	I'm hopefully going to be speaking to Karen Kingston about this soon.
	A study that came out of China proving that these side effects were...
	I mean, I'm sure that there are plenty of studies like it.
	You know, anyone who just digs a little bit will find that pretty much...
	And, you know, people did get sick before the injections, Mike.
	You know, people did occasionally die suddenly before the injections, not like now.
	But there are many, many common, you know, illnesses now that weren't so common before.
	This is a fact.
	Yeah. And I know a lot of people, by the way, who are getting injections that are not COVID injections, like maybe for certain autoimmune disorders or things like that, who are getting...
	I know two people personally who got shingles immediately after that injection, Mike.
	So I really don't think that any injections can be trusted anymore.
	Nothing, nothing, nothing. Oh, I'm right there with you.
	Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.
	No, this is why a boosting immune function...
	And cleaning up your diet, by the way, which is some of what I've been teaching that for 20 years, this is an urgent time to do this.
	And by the way, just to bring back in the Bible, even in the Old Testament, God was teaching people you have to be of pure blood in order to enter the tabernacle.
	Pure bloods was a concept from Leviticus.
	Yes. I mean, think about it.
	This is the life is in the blood.
	The life is in the blood, exactly.
	And then if you're too filthy, you can't enter the tabernacle.
	And how do you get filthy blood?
	Well, through all the things they talked about, the sodomy, all the sexual immorality, the multiple sex partners, and so on.
	I mean, Paul the Apostle in the New Testament talked about this whole thing.
	The idea of pure blood is a biblical idea.
	And so how can the churches tell their congregations to go out and take these transhumanist jabs?
	And the answer is because those pastors are working for Satan.
	I'll never forget when T.D. Jakes brought Fauci on.
	He brought him on. He did a whole live stream with Fauci.
	T.D. Jakes is an incredibly influential person inside, you know, a lot of the Pentecostal circles or the evangelical circles.
	And he was as well, by the way, named inside the PDD lawsuit, you know, with the...
	Really unsavoury behaviour potentially with children, all of that sort of stuff.
	From what I saw, he wasn't actually directly involved, but he was named in the lawsuit, so that's very concerning.
	But we watched so many people absolutely sell out humanity that are supposed to be...
	No, they're not.
	They're wolves in sheep's clothing.
	And by the way, if they're not compromised to push this message, if they're not directed to push it, at bare minimum they can't be trusted with a congregation because they could not discern the times that they were in.
	They're dangerous. They need to be disavowed by their entire congregation.
	Yeah, absolutely. If your church tells you to take these jabs, you go find a different church.
	Yes. And by the way, that should be the same case with any other psyop that's happening, Mike.
	That's right. Any other psyop.
	If the pastor or the leader of the church or the priest cannot discern, I would not feel comfortable being in that place.
	There's no way. Yeah, I'm right there with you.
	Alright, so what else is on your mind here that you want to cover?
	I mean, this has been a really great conversation.
	We've covered a lot of things, but I know...
	I mean, you also, you do a lot of deep investigations and you're sounding the alarm, but what else have we not covered that you think our audience needs to know?
	Well, I just really want to hammer some of this digital ID stuff if I can for a moment, Mike, because I'm not sure that people realize, you know, in Australia right now they're saying it's voluntary, okay?
	But this legislation passed on a Friday and And on Monday, an electrician reported that he went to renew his license and they told him that he could not do it without a digital ID. The next business day, you know?
	So this is how they're going to enforce it.
	And so he did push back, mind you, and he said this is voluntary.
	The government says it's voluntary.
	In fact, the legislation says it's voluntary.
	And I've shared that with all of my Australian audience so that they have it, so they can push back.
	But in the meantime, while he was arguing, he wasn't allowed to work.
	Right. So he lost income in that argument.
	And so this is how they're going to do it in the US as well.
	You know, we have right now in Australia, telecommunications companies pushing you, banks pushing you to get your digital ID. And so slowly, slowly, slowly, people will take it up because they're stupid until it gets to the point where people are told, okay, now you can't function without this.
	Right. So I just want to give you a very quick, give the audience a very quick idea of what someone, an Australian that's living in Iceland, is facing.
	So he says, I'm an Australian, but I live in Iceland.
	This is I am Leon Hill on X that already has an all-encompassing digital ID system.
	If you're wondering how Australia's new system will play out, I'll tell you here.
	Now, I'm just going to replace that word Australia because now it's America.
	Now it's being introduced here.
	In Iceland, the digital ID system is linked to each person's Kenetala or social security number.
	He says he signs into everything with his electronic ID via his phone.
	Anytime he accesses his bank account, phone services, accounting, tax, insurance, credit score, managing my assets, car slash house, power bill, medical record, when I vote or even want to pull up a store receipt of something I bought, it's all linked to my digital ID.
	Which, by the way...
	if you're making purchases that they think aren't net zero purchases and they're going to harm the climate, that will negatively impact you.
	But you said voting there, too. Voting as well.
	That's crazy. So what, you can't vote unless you have this ID? Correct.
	Yes. And in Australia, by the way, where voting is mandatory, I don't know how people are going to get away with that.
	You know, without getting a digital ID, you get fined.
	So you don't have to get a digital ID, but you'll get a fine if you don't vote.
	That's essentially how they stagger this, you know, approach.
	He says that you cannot have a digital ID.
	You cannot not have a digital ID, sorry, to live there.
	He says you can't get power turned on, can't get a phone, can't buy or register a car, rent or buy a house, or even buy certain items without having a digital ID.
	Wow.
	You can't even rent a house.
	No. No.
	And he says it does have some benefits in the sense that it makes everything streamlined, but you have no privacy.
	He actually outlines what that looks like.
	He says anyone can look up where I live, the license plate of my car, how much tax I paid last year, my phone number, you name it, it's public and available.
	All you need is my ID to find it all out.
	Wow. Now, that, Mike, is...
	When I've read the Remaking the World Towards an Age of Global Enlightenment, UN documents, the AI World Society, the Biodigital Convergence documents, when you read all of these futuristic...
	plans for the internet of everything this is the kind of thing that they describe it's they describe a future where you're essentially self-policing because your neighbor will know and see everything about you and your behavior and so like china where you know you get an alert if there's a naughty person who ate too much beef this week nearby you know the same sort of system all as part of the internet of everything personally
	Perhaps even the sensors inside your body will tell you that, uh-oh, danger, you know, didn't get their 45th booster this week or whatever.
	Or a sensor in your toilet.
	They have that tech.
	No. Yeah, you know, you urinate in the toilet and then it samples your urine to know if you're obedient to your doctor's prescriptions.
	Wow. Yeah, then they can tell whether you're taking the meds they prescribe.
	Well, okay, so Policy Horizons Canada biodigital convergence documents outline how you will one day have sensors inside your body that do all of that for you.
	And so that will be reporting to, you know, Bill Gates' patent 060606, mining cryptocurrency with your body's data, so your body's constantly going to be feeding back to the hive AI that's going to know whether you've taken your...
	Whatever. Well, and then they'll say, you know, conservatism, they'll claim it's a mental disorder.
	You have to be dosed with psychiatric drugs.
	Yes. To turn off that part of your brain that learns to think for itself.
	Yeah. Right? What was the drug in the fiction novel?
	Soma? Is that what it was?
	In Brave New World? Yeah.
	Soma. Wasn't that the drug?
	Yes. So that, we're, like, we're almost there.
	They're going to dose you to...
	Yes. Remember when AOC was saying we've got these re-education programs?
	Actually, Alex Jones has been talking about it a lot the last couple of days because even Peter Hotez recently said...
	Oh, I was going to bring up Hotez, yeah.
	Yeah, Homeland Security and NATO to battle anti-vax aggression.
	NATO? NATO, yeah.
	That's what he said, yes. Like tanks and F-16s against anti-vaxxers.
	Yeah, that's what he said. That's exactly what he said.
	I'm like, first, by the way, I'm still, I mean, NATO can't even defeat Russia.
	How is NATO going to then, I mean, what does NATO have left to bomb anti-vaxxers with since they've expended everything in Ukraine?
	What kind of a stupid statement is that?
	Well, yeah, it is stupid.
	It is. What are you going to do, like literally bomb us?
	Well, he calls it anti-vaccine aggression.
	Yes, he does. So saying no against a biological weapon is an act of aggression, in his view.
	Yes. And he wants the military to kill you.
	Yes, he does. Yes.
	And this is not so...
	Mike, I've recently posted about this, and I got hit with all these bots and people that was telling me that I was lying about this.
	Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But the video's right there. No, no, lying about this fact, that during COVID, there were people from an Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory that were taken by the military in the middle of the night.
	Oh, yeah, I remember covering that, yeah. Taken to a camp against their will.
	And forced vaccinated. No, I don't know if they were forced vaccinated in there, but they did escape.
	And the Manhunt was aired on national television for everyone to see that these people did in fact escape.
	They weren't even sick.
	They were just close contact.
	Well, I saw a bunch of...
	Authorities from Australia vaccinating Aboriginal people.
	Lots of videos of that.
	So I know that there were some stories that came out about forced injections.
	That was later clarified that it was a misunderstanding between the communities.
	What they did a lot of was like $500 vouchers and bribing them.
	Oh, I see. And then they would inject them under trees with no gloves on and piles of rubbish next to them, you know, because they care so much about Aboriginals.
	Right. That they're just going to, you know, abort all hygiene measures to just inject this juice in them.
	You know, just insanity.
	Insanity. But these escaped, the ones you were originally talking about.
	Two people escaped. My point is, I come from a country where we've already seen our military forcefully put people in camp.
	Yes. Yes. So when I hear Dr.
	Hotez saying those things, I'm like, I know that they are capable of this because they did it.
	Yes. They've done this.
	Absolutely. In a Western democratic nation.
	No, in a heartbeat, they would deploy the military to round up anti-vaxxers and throw them into death camps.
	It's insane, but it's happened.
	I really hope, Mike, and I don't want people to think that this is a completely hopeless situation, but you and I are both very realistic people.
	I always think of the worst possible case scenario and what we need to be prepared for.
	Hopefully, there have been enough people that have woken up over the past couple of years to see what the authorities are capable of to stand against it.
	The The wave of people in the UK standing up to their government now, despite seeing people being arrested for their opinions, is still there.
	You can't be terrified.
	I was going to interview a journalist, and in the end they said, no, I've got to cancel.
	It's like, no, no, you have to speak now.
	You have to speak. Carefully, okay?
	Be careful. But you have to speak up.
	Yeah, well, exactly.
	And, you know, here in America...
	Our founding fathers wrote the Second Amendment specifically so that there's a decentralization of power in the hands of the people against tyranny.
	So it wasn't about hunting.
	It wasn't even about as much of self-defense in your own home.
	It was about defending the nation against tyranny.
	If our leaders take the advice of people like Peter Hotez and if they deploy the military domestically against the people of America, there will be so much pushback by the governors of at least 25 states.
	You know, the red states will push back.
	And they will start an actual, like, federal versus state war.
	Yes. You can imagine federal troops coming in and then state troops saying, no, you can't come in here and kill our citizens just because they're unvaccinated.
	But maybe that's what the powers that be want.
	Maybe they want to whip up a big domestic war in America over the vaccine issue.
	I think they want to whip up civil unrest over whatever issue works.
	You're right, yeah. It could be a race issue, it could be a false flag shooting, anything.
	And I think that in the next few months ahead of the election, this is why I'm here, by the way, because I know it's going to be very difficult in the States.
	I'm hoping that I'm able to warn people about what it looks like when you give up your rights like Australia has given up so many, or Australians have given up so many.
	Are you going to be here all the way through the election?
	Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
	And possibly a little bit after.
	Wow. At least to see, you know, I mean this sincerely, Mike.
	I've even been trying to talk to liberals while I'm here just to warn them, you know, of what it can be if you have people like Kamala in, you know.
	I mean this sincerely.
	I don't think that Trump's the perfect guy or that he has all the answers or whatever.
	Yeah. But I certainly think that he's going to be better for this country than Kamala is.
	Sure. Or, you know, even RFK Jr.
	would be better than Kamala.
	You know what I mean? Well, yeah.
	I mean, communism is bad and it would destroy our nation.
	Yes. No question.
	And so, you know, and then people say, oh, it's all political theatre and they're all the same and they're all globalists and so on and so forth.
	It's like, well, the things that I've just told you about digital ID won't work if there's no central bank digital currency.
	Won't work if they can't ban all vehicles.
	You know, these are things that Trump stands against, which is why I said to you, I really do think he's going to be, he's going to do good things for this country and consequently the West.
	Well, we're with you on that point.
	Here in Texas, we're not giving up our combustion engine vehicles.
	We're not giving up our diesel tractors and trucks.
	And we're going to continue to harness the natural energy resources that God put on this earth so that we might have a civilization.
	And if California and New York and Chicago and whatever, if they want to collapse into lawlessness and destitution and starvation, You know, that's their choice.
	But here in Texas and a lot of other states in America, you know, Florida and all the red states, we're not going to let this collapse happen, even if we have to launch our own currency.
	I think there's something special and God-ordained about Texas, Mike.
	I really mean that. I think that's why I'm here at the moment.
	For whatever God's purpose, God's plan, I really do think that I'm supposed to be here.
	I'm here in service, is what I'm trying to say, in obedience.
	Knowing full well that it's going to be a really rocky few months ahead, you know.
	It is. But at the same time, I think that God has really, really, he's got positive plans for Texas.
	And I think that a lot of the people here know that.
	And so I'm remaining really confident about this place.
	I am. So did you get in trouble back in Australia a year ago when I handed you my pistol here?
	No. And you were able to handle a pistol in Texas?
	No. They didn't arrest you when you got back home?
	No, they didn't. Okay.
	No. They just, like, subjected me to the standard procedures.
	I wasn't given a hard time.
	Oh, okay. Yes. Well, we could up the ante with bigger and bigger rifles here.
	Oh, for sure.
	We'll have to do that. Well, I've got one in my car, if you would.
	We don't want to get you in more trouble.
	But this is Texas, so we can always up the ante with a bigger caliber rifle.
	I saw a sign the other day that said, around here we don't call 911.
	It's the second one I've seen in Texas.
	Yeah, it's a common thing.
	Did you know that in Texas, if you're driving around and if you see any fence posts that are painted purple, you know what that means?
	No. So, in Texas and in other states, it's a law that purple means no trespassing.
	Oh. And that it's legally enforceable within the code that if somebody trespasses, then, well...
	I mean, historically, they would get shot.
	I'm not advocating that you just shoot everybody who wanders past the purple post, but I'm just saying it is a legally enforceable no trespassing sign without using words.
	Well, I'm really glad that you shared that with me because I did not know that.
	They can also paint it on a tree.
	So if you're out just randomly wandering around, I don't know, someplace in Texas, and you come upon a tree and it's got like a purple square or a purple circle, That means don't trespass beyond this tree.
	All right. Yes. Okay.
	Yes. I wish I knew that two weeks ago, but I'm glad I didn't run it.
	And did you know also there's a Cattlemen's Association in Texas, and people who own cattle, they'll often post a sign that says, like, we're members of the Cattlemen's Association.
	Right. If you steal their cattle...
	They will come find you and probably shoot you.
	Like to death or just a wound?
	Yeah, pretty much to death. Okay, all right.
	Yeah, I mean, you steal a man's cattle in Texas.
	Yeah. Or it used to be in the old days, like you steal a man's horse, you take away his livelihood.
	You steal a man's horse the way it used to be was, well, that man has a right to kill you.
	Today, you steal a man's cattle and And you're putting your life at risk, pretty much.
	Wow. So don't do that.
	Not that you were going to be a cattle thief, right?
	I had no plans.
	Need more brisket?
	No. There's a cow.
	But, you know, Mike, this is one thing that...
	I think that the general respect that people have for one another in Texas, it's lasted.
	And I think that a huge part of it is because it's like we respect each other, but we don't mess with each other.
	Yeah. And that's where it should be.
	We've got boundaries. And we believe in private property, you know, unlike the communists.
	Yes. And we protect our families.
	We protect children. We protect our churches.
	Yes. Absolutely.
	And we're going to protect our state.
	Even if the federal government doesn't want to defend Texas, well, the governor of Texas is doing many things.
	The Attorney General Paxton is doing a lot.
	And the citizens of Texas are ready to take up the call to defend the borders.
	Yeah, I certainly don't agree with every single thing that they've done, but I know that they've done positive things for Texas, and so, you know, certainly better than some other governors that I've seen.
	There was a Kentucky, was he a rep or a governor this morning, that was talking about how he hopes that J.D. Vance's family essentially gets raped.
	Oh, yeah. I forgot who said that, but that was pretty outrageous.
	It was a Kentucky person, either a governor or a representative there.
	Well, all I know is that then Representative Thomas Massey said, don't apply this to all Kentuckians, because that's not the way Kentucky is, because Thomas Massey is really great.
	Yeah, he is. Absolutely.
	He's wonderful. I wish that there were a hundred of him and pretty much just that type of person running the government.
	Yeah, Thomas Massey for president.
	You know, maybe coming up.
	Yeah. Massey would be great.
	I think so. Big supporters.
	Doesn't want to go to wars, doesn't want to fund foreign wars, doesn't want to vote on foreign war funding, you know, or doesn't want to vote yes, I mean, doesn't want to bow to the pressure of political lobbies.
	He's, from what I've seen, he's a man of integrity.
	He is. And Texas, we consider Kentucky to be a sister state.
	I don't know if you knew that. I didn't.
	Yeah, there's a lot of history about Kentucky coming to the aid of Texas and times past and so on.
	Anyway, the longer you hang out in Texas, the more fascinating history you're going to learn.
	Have you visited the Alamo yet?
	I have not yet. It's been like three weeks.
	So very soon, very soon, hopefully.
	Well, definitely visit the Alamo.
	There's a lot of great history in Texas.
	The more you learn about the history, the more fascinating it is that Texas became the state it is today, or the republic at first, and maybe again.
	But if you think about how big Texas is, did you know that Texas alone is something like the ninth largest economy in the world, if it were a nation?
	Wow. I mean, it's massive.
	The economic output of Texas is massive.
	Yeah. Oh, it's amazing.
	And... I'm fairly certain it was Texas last time, Mike, that I was driving through.
	It might have been in parts of Arizona where I saw all these oil rigs and they just weren't working.
	Yeah. They weren't working.
	And it's like these should all be working.
	I think this is the kind of stuff that Trump talks about.
	You know, it was devastating seeing that.
	Well, sometimes...
	When the price of oil is too low, they're kind of mothballed until the price goes high enough to justify the extraction costs.
	Right. A lot of it is pumping water, like there's oil mixed in with the water.
	So a lot of what's getting pumped is actually water.
	It's a very high extraction cost.
	Right. But when Iran attacks Israel in retribution, which is probably coming, and then the Strait of Hormuz gets closed and oil goes to $150 a barrel, you're going to see a lot of oil wells cranking up all over the place.
	Yeah. Yeah. Do you think that that attack will happen?
	Or do you think that it's all just talk to keep people on the edge?
	No, I think it will happen.
	I think it will happen in an unexpected time and a devastating fashion.
	And I think that oil and gold will skyrocket almost immediately.
	I hope it doesn't happen.
	Of course. But... You know, there's a lot of domestic pressure in Iran to respond because, well, Israel believes it can just assassinate anybody in any city at once without repercussions.
	It's a provocation by Israel.
	Yes. And many children as well.
	Well, right. We haven't talked about Gaza.
	Yeah. Yeah. I'm just talking about Tehran and Beirut, you know.
	But that's a whole other show to get into all those details.
	Yeah. Maria, this has been just a delightful conversation.
	We always have great conversations.
	Always. You're always welcome here.
	Anything else you want to wrap this up with?
	No, I'm really glad to be here again, Mike, and thank you so much for your time and for the time of the audience here as well.
	Again, my message to everyone is please don't become Australia.
	This has been my message from COVID, but you need to, as much as humanly possible, not give up on, you know, because not everyone is a completely insane liberal.
	There are some level-headed liberals that you can kind of talk to, you know, keep trying to have these conversations while we're in this fight, while we're trying to stop this.
	You know, Biden wants to get this digital ID in now before the election.
	I think he's preparing the executive order.
	This is really serious.
	This is really, really serious.
	And I think it should even be an election topic that people should demand that Trump says, if I'm elected, I'm going to repeal this.
	I think that this is really serious.
	Again, he said no CBDC. I don't know why he would have a problem with saying that.
	No digital ID. But, you know, again...
	The whole world looks to the United States because of the First Amendment, because of the Second Amendment.
	Look at the impact that the U.S. has had on the U.K. right now.
	When they can't speak up, the U.S. is doing it for them.
	And so, you know, this is the last bastion of freedom.
	It must be defended with absolutely every fiber.
	Completely agree. And it's so easy if Trump wanted to just win this election instantly.
	It's so easy. All he has to do is say, you know, remember that suggestion about no taxes on tips?
	That everybody loved and then Kamala stole that idea?
	We're going to expand it.
	No taxes on any income.
	Personal income.
	No taxes on personal income.
	They don't need your tax money.
	They're always printing the money they need.
	There's no relationship between government spending and how much money they get from taxes.
	There's no relationship.
	So end all personal income taxes.
	Let everybody keep what they earn, number one.
	And then... You know, defend freedom of speech.
	Say you're going to outlaw viewpoint discrimination by big tech.
	I mean, right there you won the election.
	And there's nothing more pro-worker and pro-union than letting people keep what they earn.
	No income taxes.
	Yeah. Then you've got the unions.
	You would have the vote of every single person in the country.
	That's right. So who's opposed to that?
	The bankers, the globalists, they use taxation to suppress people.
	Not to raise money.
	They don't need $3 trillion or whatever it is they get from personal income taxes.
	$2 or $3 trillion. They don't need that.
	You're right. It's a fake money system.
	They don't need it.
	So it is just squashing the people, making sure that they can't not just prosper, but can't even do okay, you know?
	That's right. That's right.
	Taxation is theft.
	Well, you heard it, everyone, and now it's your job to get Mike's message out there.
	Well, it's really Ron Paul's message.
	It's just recycled again.
	Ron Paul had it right many years ago, but we'll see if Trump will take that up.
	He might get a lot of pushback, but, you know, we'll see.
	Maria, it's a pleasure having you here.
	Thank you for spending time with us today.
	Just an honor, and God bless you, and you're welcome back anytime.
	Thank you so much. God bless you too, Mike.
	All right. Thank you. The website, folks, is zmedia.com, and that's a triple E, Z-E-E-E. And did I ever ask you about why are there three E's?
	What's the story on that?
	When I started speaking out, I was working in a senior leadership role for a government-funded, not-for-profit disability employment agency.
	Okay. So I'm a senior leader at this government-funded disability employment place screaming on social media, the government's trying to kill you!
	Right? Yeah. And I had a very, very small following, but it started to grow.
	So I changed my name on social media to Maria with three A's, and then I thought, instead of having my real surname, I'll just do Z with three E's, and that way my co-workers won't be able to find me.
	And then it stuck.
	Yeah. And it's stuck.
	That's it. That's how it happens.
	Well, it's very unique. Yes.
	Yeah. Okay. So ZEEEmedia.com is the website.
	And that's how everybody knows you.
	I don't even know any other name for you other than Maria Z. That's it.
	And we'll just keep it that way. It's fine.
	Yeah. We don't need to know.
	All right. But anyway, again, it's a pleasure.
	Thanks for joining me today. Thank you so much.
	And thank all of you for watching.
	Please visit Maria's website.
	Check out her videos.
	She does really great work and has amazing guests.

	And yes, we're going to defend this nation.

	So God bless you all.
