America can't compete with Russia's stunning military WEAPONS INNOVATION
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
So President Trump says that, well, he's ordering the Department of Defense to restart nuclear weapons testing, which has not been allowed since 1992 because the U.S. Congress passed a moratorium at that time.
Trump is doing this in response to primarily Russia rolling out announcements and demonstrations of new weapons, advanced new weapon systems that have been under development by Russia, and they are involved in active testing on the way to deployment of these weapons.
And let's talk about those weapons because the context really matters here.
So a few years ago, Russia introduced the Kinzhal missile, which is the hypersonic cruise missile that has been used numerous times in the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
And as far as I can tell, the Kinzhal missiles are just about unstoppable.
I mean, possibly a small number of them may have been brought down by some kind of anti-air systems, but I'm not familiar with any specific cases.
As far as I know, every time they're launched, unless there's a problem, they make it to their target and they explode.
But they're cruise missiles.
They're not ICBMs.
So they don't carry nuclear warheads so far, although they could.
They could.
But so far, they have carried conventional explosives, and they're designed to take out basically bunkers or hardened targets, or perhaps in some cases, to strike, let's say, a power grid infrastructure, something like that.
I do recall that Kinzal missiles were also used very early in the war to strike a military training barracks that just, I think it killed hundreds of young Ukrainian soldiers, which is just, I mean, it's a catastrophe.
In my mind, anytime that people are dying and suffering, it's a catastrophe.
I'm so anti-war because war does not resolve anything, but it subjects human beings to all kinds of suffering and death and pain and economic destruction and so on.
Why aren't we building a better education system instead of building more weapons?
Trump wants to detonate nuclear weapons, but I don't hear him talking about how we need to radically reform our domestic education system because our graduating students are falling behind.
Well, that's an understatement.
Let's just be honest.
There's some of the dumbest students on the planet, even graduating from high school or from universities, by and large, although there are exceptions to this, but there's some of the dumbest graduates on the planet.
We got to fix that.
We need to put money into education.
We need to put money into infrastructure that helps Americans.
Instead, we're pouring a trillion dollars a year into the military.
But getting back to why this is happening, let's continue discussing Russia's weapons.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you, I interviewed Steve Quayle today, so that's, don't miss that interview.
That's coming up.
But Russia has the Oreshnik missile system that we have talked about in quite a lot of detail that I believe they unveiled roughly, what was it, a year ago, something like that.
And the Oreshnik, which I think that's Russian for hazelnut, because the nose cone of the Oreshnik resembles a hazelnut as it opens up.
So that's where that comes from, is my understanding.
Well, the Oreshnik system is a hypervelocity kinetic weapon that launches 36 independent vehicles all compacted into one nose cone launches that into at this at some altitude i don't know how high it it goes but very high i don't know stratosphere whatever maybe maybe it goes into low earth orbit i'm not sure but
Then as it comes back down, the nose cone opens up, and then there are six waves of six independent warheads in each wave, so that's 36 total, that strike the target on the ground, or they could also strike aircraft carriers in the sea.
But it strikes the target with absolutely devastating kinetic force that apparently turns everything to dust that it hits, and it can penetrate many, many floors below ground of reinforced concrete all the way down into underground factories and underground storage systems, etc.
So, for example, if America had the Oreshnik, it would have used it against the Fordow Mountain in Iran instead of whatever Trump ordered, the bunker buster bombs, what are they called, the Moabs, the mother of all bombs, I think.
The Oreshnik could have done a much more devastating job, actually, but that's a technology that Russia has and the U.S. does not have.
So that's a very advanced technology.
And remember that those projectiles come in at about Mach, well, approaching Mach 20, which is just unbelievable.
And we've shown videos of that before, and it's just, it looks like lightning from the sky.
It's just coming down in streaks that just devastate everything on the ground.
Well, there's no defense against that.
And shortly after it was demonstrated, Russian President Putin announced that it was going into serial production for the military.
And I'm just going off of memory here, but I believe that they're going to be able to produce about 300 Oreshnik missile systems every year, which is, you know, roughly one every workday, right?
Something like that.
And that means, and this has been going on for several months, which means they now have, I would say, at least 100 Oreshnik missiles, which means they could take out the White House, they could take out aircraft carriers, they could take out probably the presidential bunker underneath the White House.
They could take out, you know, Mar-a-Lago, right?
I mean, if they wanted to, I'm not suggesting that they've even mentioned anything like that.
But they could also take out military bases all across Europe.
They could hit, you know, capital.
buildings or whatever or ammo depots underground bunkers factories you name it so they have that capability now so that's the kinzal and the oreshnik so far now remember the united states has none of this the u.s is sitting on old technology Technology, a lot of it outdated by 10 to 20 years.
And the nuclear weapons that we have are outdated even more than that.
And the Patriot anti-air defense missile systems are outdated by at least 25 years.
And they just don't work.
I mean, they can't even stop the missiles from Iran, as we saw over this last summer with Israel, right?
Israel couldn't stop the missiles because Israel was using U.S. technology.
So when Trump goes out there and brags, like, everybody wants America's weapons, you know, we have the best weapons in the world.
Yeah, that's kind of like Trump saying that the steak served at his hotel is the best steak in the world.
Not really.
It's steak, you know.
And the U.S. doesn't have the best weapons in the world.
The U.S. has the most expensive weapons and the most complicated weapons that mostly don't work that well.
But it doesn't have the best weapons.
If it did, then we would have already defeated Russia in Ukraine because that's mostly a proxy war between Russia and the United States.
But even after the U.S. sent our tanks and what did we send?
The high Mars, the low Mars, the mid-Mars, the Saturns, the Jupiters.
No.
We sent everything that we had, you know, and it didn't matter.
And now we're going to send the Tomahawks probably.
Those things are slow.
They only travel.
I mean, they're subsonic.
They're very easy for Russia to stop.
Everything we send gets pulverized, you know, no matter what.
So there's no magic weapon that we could send Ukraine that we have in our possession that can defeat Russia.
If we had it, we would have already used it.
So let's continue.
Russia then also talks about the Poseidon.
This is an underwater, large, I don't know if you call it a drone.
It looks like a large torpedo.
And this Poseidon weapon system, by the way, just had some demonstrations and some tests that were conducted on Tuesday.
And Putin even announced this.
He says, quote, when it comes to speed and depth, there's nothing comparable to this unmanned vehicle anywhere in the world, and it is unlikely to appear anytime soon.
So when Putin says that, it's not the same as Trump saying, you know, Trump Hotel stake is the best stake in the world.
When Putin says this, it's actually true.
It's factually true.
Putin is not a man of bluster.
He's not a braggadocious individual.
When it seems like he's bragging about something, it's because he's got the goods.
And in this case, he's got the goods.
He says, quote, and this is obviously an English translation.
For the first time, we succeeded not only in launching it from a submarine using its booster engine, but also in starting its nuclear power unit, which provided energy to the vehicle for a certain period of time because he doesn't want to give away the secret of how long it can power it.
This is a tremendous success, he says.
Now, what you need to understand about the Poseidon is that people like Steve Quayle and myself, we've been discussing the Poseidon underwater drone system for at least three years.
This is the weapon that can cause a radioactive tidal wave.
And let me just explain this.
The Poseidon underwater drone, I don't know, unmanned torpedo.
This has an onboard miniaturized nuclear power system.
So it can generate all the power it needs for propulsion as well as onboard electronics.
It also carries a massive nuclear warhead, reportedly up to 100 megatons.
Not kilotons, megatons.
Now, just to remind you, I think that's something like 5,000 times larger than the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
Because Hiroshima, I mean, depending on what numbers you use, it was somewhere like 15, 16 kilotons, something like that.
Or some people say it maybe a little bit higher.
But we're talking about 100 megatons, and a mega is 1,000 times larger than a kila or kilo, right?
Metric system.
So 100 megatons.
Imagine like 5,000 Nagasakis, you know, give or take, happening all at once right off the coast of the United States.
Because when Trump brags, oh, we've got super secret submarines parked off the coast of Russia.
We're not playing games.
You know, Putin's not shaking in his boots.
He doesn't really wear boots.
He's not shaking in his sneakers because Putin has already deployed these Poseidon systems off the coast of the United States, both the East Coast and the West Coast, and also off the coast of the UK.
So these underwater drones, known as the Poseidon in English, are sitting there with 100 megaton warheads ready to be detonated via satellite signals from Moscow.
That's a weapon that would absolutely destroy the United States government.
It would wipe out the entire East Coast.
Everything from, you know, all the way up, I mean, from New York and Connecticut and Virginia, all the way down to Miami, you know, and all the rest.
Everything on the East Coast, even inland for 20, 30 miles, maybe more, would be hit with, I don't know, I've heard different estimates, you know, thousand-foot tidal wave, maybe.
I mean, somebody could do the math on this.
If you translate 100 megatons of energy and you know the distance from the shore and then you know the depth, you know, the topology of the ocean floor, you can calculate the size of the wave.
But whatever.
It's a big-ass radioactive tsunami, basically, okay?
And then that smashes down, crashes all over the East Coast, wipes out everything, including all of our military and naval facilities in Virginia, etc.
All the way up and down the coast.
And all of that area is rendered uninhabitable for centuries because it's all radioactive, obviously.
Hey, it has a little cesium-137 in your sprouts, huh?
Yeah, it's good for the energy.
Yeah, you're going to be looking for cesium-137 for about 300 years because it'll go into all the crops and soils and everything.
And goodbye.
There you go.
No more farming this land.
Although the cockroaches would survive, which is bad news because that might mean that half the Senate still makes it through.
We'll have to see how well the cockroaches do.
Okay, so that's a weapon system.
And I remember that when Steve and I first started talking about this, lots and lots of people said, oh, no, that's not true.
That doesn't exist.
There's no such weapon system.
And, you know, I don't dwell on this issue because I don't have time for woke idiots.
I don't spend time trying to educate clowns.
If people aren't ready to hear the truth, that's their problem, not mine.
I'm here to share the truth and to warn people about what is real and what's likely to happen.
And, you know, my track record speaks for itself.
I was right about COVID, about vaccines, about the depopulation agendas, about the inflation that we're experiencing, again and again, censorship regime, all of it.
My timing hasn't always been perfect, but the things that I predicted in terms of the large arcs of the future arriving into our present, they have come true with an astonishing level of accuracy.
But one of the predictions that I've made before is that I thought that we would have experienced some kind of a radiological detonation before now, either a dirty bomb or a domestic terrorism event or some kind of war.
Well, Trump is really upping the ante on that by promising nuclear weapons testing once again, which is going to move that clock.
What is it?
The atomic scientists, the bulletin of atomic scientists, is that what it's called?
Where they have a clock.
It's like, we're 90 seconds to midnight, where midnight is the end of the world.
I'm pretty sure they're going to tick that thing another couple of seconds closer once this news gets out.
Oh, Trump's testing nuclear weapons again.
Yeah.
Now we're 87 seconds to midnight.
That's probably where that's going.
I'm just guessing.
But Russia has the Poseidon.
Okay.
So everybody who thought that was fake, you were wrong.
On not you listening to this.
They were wrong.
Putin just confirmed it.
And they've been testing it.
And it's a 20-meter long, 100-ton drone.
And it can descend below 1,000 meters.
And it can reach speeds of 200 kilometers per hour.
Okay.
So any of you in the Navy, some of you Navy veterans, now I got your attention, right?
You're like, wait a second.
Did you say it dives to a depth of 1,000 meters?
Yeah, I said below 1,000 meters.
Because if you've been on a submarine, you've probably never been below 1,000 meters and not to live, you know, not to live and talk about it.
Because submarines are not built for that kind of depth because of the insane pressure, obviously.
But this thing can go below 1,000 meters, which means it can evade all the manned submarines made by the USA.
So Trump's fancy super secret submarines, the Ohio class, designed in 1976.
Whatever, man.
Yeah, they're not going to see these drones.
And if they can see them, they can't stop them.
And these drones are moving at 200 kilometers per hour.
Okay.
What?
Yeah, in water.
So that is very fast.
There's no manned submarine that even comes anywhere close to that.
Not even close to that.
Not even with their super secret top secret statistics that you're not allowed to talk about because it's a secret.
There's nothing that approaches 200 kilometers per hour.
I mean, even on land, there's not a lot of stuff that goes that fast.
Right?
Wow.
So for those of you veterans of the Navy, and God bless you, thank you for your service, but you're used to the units of knots, right?
So you know that one knot is equivalent to, what, 1.8 kilometers per hour.
So we're talking about speeds of over 100 knots here in the water.
Yeah, there's nothing that moves like that in terms of a manned submarine.
There are torpedoes that might do that for a very limited amount of time.
But this drone is powered by nuclear energy, not batteries.
So this is another key technology that Russia has achieved that the U.S. can't even touch.
Why?
Because the U.S. spends a trillion dollars a year on fraud and waste and kickbacks and, you know, pole dancing bars for the top generals or whatever.
and siphoning it off for Bitcoin and gold bars, whatever they do for kickbacks.
Russia has been building infrastructure for its military.
And one of the key pieces of technology is the miniaturization of high-density nuclear power.
So it's not difficult to build on land a giant nuclear power plant that can produce megawatts of power.
Even in the U.S., we can manage to do that, although it takes 14 or 15 years.
They do it in China in about three to five years, by the way.
But in the U.S., we take at least five times longer.
What Russia has managed to do is take that and miniaturize it by a factor, in the case of this drone, at least 100 to 1.
So they can produce not megawatts, but kilowatts, many kilowatts of power that powers the propeller that drives the drone at extremely high speeds of 200 kilometers per hour underwater, which is freaking fast.
And of course, it's got its own, you know, sonar navigation systems, communication, like low frequency sending and receiving from satellites in order to penetrate all that water.
You got to have very low frequency, ultra low frequency communication, which is very low bandwidth.
So you can't be sending, can't be uploading videos from the torpedo.
It's like binary code.
That's it.
But that's all you need.
It's like navigation.
You don't need a lot of data for navigation or speed or detonation commands, etc.
So it works.
So the U.S. has nothing like this drone.
And these drones are already parked, again, off the continental shelf of the U.S. and other countries, which means that if the U.S. really tries to mess with Russia, Russia can just punch a button, detonate, boom, 100 megatons, East Coast and West Coast.
There goes all the ports on the West Coast.
There goes the entire U.S. economy up in smoke or, you know, radioactive water vapor, actually.
This is why Putin is not afraid of Trump's antics.
Okay, so now this is just one of many weapons that Russia has been demonstrating.
This is a very impressive weapon system, the Poseidon.
Okay.
Next is the one that we just found out about, which is the Budovesnik.
I have a Russian-speaking friend who corrected my pronunciation on that.
It's Budavesnik, not Budovesnik.
Apparently, that's not the correct way to say it.
Okay.
I always do try to pronounce things correctly whenever I can.
I do not have a high success rate, but I try.
So it's a Buda Vesnik.
This is the cruise missile with unlimited range that flies around the skies forever and then can come down and attack any target at any time.
And this was just tested.
It was a successful test.
So it has, I mean, if you go back to the Poseidon, remember what I just said?
Russia miniaturized a nuclear power plant and stuffed it inside the Poseidon.
Well, what they did with the Budavestnik is they miniaturized it by another factor of 10.
So instead of it being 100 times smaller than a land-based modular reactor, they made it 1,000 times smaller in terms of the energy it produces.
So it's 1,000 times smaller and lighter, and they were able to stuff it into a cruise missile that can produce enough thrust from its nuclear generator to actually stay aloft.
It can actually just fly around forever.
I mean, not forever, but nobody knows how long.
Clearly for probably months, it can just circle the Earth, you know, as long as it's got atmosphere, which is, and you think about air, it's just, it's just pushing air out of the turbine in the same way that the Poseidon is just pushing water, you know, with a propeller.
Okay, so it needs something to compress and to eject as thrust.
So the Budavestnik can't go into outer space.
For that, you need to bring your own fuel, rocket fuel, and it doesn't have rocket fuel.
It's just got nuclear energy miniaturized.
So as long as it's got air to suck up and spit out, it's got an onboard turbine like a jet engine that's powered by nuclear power.
So it can fly around forever.
You know, until the nuclear power runs out, which is, you know, I mean, think about nuclear power.
What's on a USS aircraft carrier?
How long does the nuclear power last?
How often do they change the nuclear fuel rods on an aircraft carrier?
Do you know the answer?
It's 25 years.
25 years.
Okay.
So once every 25 years, they have to refuel.
Yes.
You're like, whoa, I didn't even realize.
Yeah, because they hardly ever refuel.
Even the small modular reactors that we're talking about that will be set up probably to help power data centers around the United States.
And these can have power output up to about 300 kilowatts.
Do you know that the fuel on those is typically only replaced every seven or eight years?
Yeah, because it's nuclear.
Converting mass to energy produces a lot of energy and it takes very little mass.
So that mass lasts a long time.
So if you're talking about the Budavestnik cruise missile, when Russia says it has unlimited range, what they mean is that unless something breaks on it, it can probably circle the Earth for years.
I mean, maybe at some point the turbine fan fractures or it sucks up a high-altitude duck that's flying or migrating or whatever.
That would be called the Dukovesnik missile system that quacks up in the air.
It's a bad scene.
You don't want to mess with that.
Radioactive duck fallout is what happens there.
But aside from that kind of accident, the missile is just going to keep cruising around.
Now, the U.S. has nothing like this.
And the U.S. has no anti-air defense system that can even track something like that.
The anti-air defense systems that we have, they track ballistic trajectories.
Ballistic meaning that it follows a predictable arc, an arc having to do with gravity and velocity and thrust, etc.
An arc that's very predictable if you can do math.
But the Budavestnik can just fly around and it has control surfaces, so it can turn.
I mean, very gradually, obviously.
But it can turn.
It can veer off this way, that way, it can navigate to GPS coordinates or the Russian system, what is the Glaznet, Glas, I forgot the name of it.
It's the Russian version of GPS Glasnost or something.
Sorry, I'll get that right.
I can't even remember the Russian city names either.
That's just, I need to learn, need to learn Russian so I can nail down these names.
But it could just cruise around all over the planet and then come down and hit any target from any direction.
So in the United States, you know, a lot of our radar is sort of anti-ballistic missile radar.
It's looking for ballistic missiles from Russia to come over the North Pole because that's the most direct route from northern Russia, the launch sites.
How do you get to America?
From northern Russia, you fly over the North Pole.
So that's where we're looking.
Well, with these Budavestnik missile systems, Russia can, number one, launch them from anywhere in Russia.
You don't have to launch them from any particular location since they can just circle the Earth.
So you launch them from a super secret underground bunker like James Bond, like a hole opens up in the ground and then shoom, shoosh, all these Budavestnik missiles just take to the skies.
And then from there, you just have them go over the South Pole, you know, and come up with a sneak attack from South America, you know, cruising up through Central America, crossing Mexico.
And since the U.S. has no border control, it crosses the border and boom, hits U.S. targets coming from the South, where there's virtually no defenses or air defenses from the U.S. So you see, this is a game changer kind of missile.
I mean, it's really a game changer.
We hear that term a lot.
It's probably overused, but in this case, it's rather appropriate.
It's a game changer.
So now, effective militaries operate with systems.
They don't have one magical weapon that changes everything.
There is no such thing.
Although we hear that often from NATO propaganda and Western media, right?
Oh, we're going to bring in the tanks.
It's going to change everything.
Just these tanks.
Oh, that didn't work.
They all got blown up.
Oh, we're going to bring in, you know, the high Mars.
That's going to change everything.
Yeah, the High Mars all got blown up.
Tomahawks.
Yeah, that's got to get blown up too.
Intelligent military people know that this is about systems.
You have complementary systems that work together.
No one weapon does everything.
So what Russia is actually building here is a network, a system of advanced, extremely modern weapons that the West, number one, does not have and number two, cannot stop.
Think about it.
Can America stop the Kinzal hypersonic missile?
Nope.
Can America stop the Oreshnik missile system?
Nope, not at all.
Can America stop the Poseidon underwater drone system?
Nope.
Can America stop the Budavestnik unlimited range cruise missile?
Also, no.
So now Russia has four new weapon systems that the West cannot stop and cannot build, cannot even make.
Can't design it.
And, you know, we could go into all the reasons why that is, but it's a combination of waste and fraud and also apathy, complacency, and mathematical retardation coming out of the public school systems in America where people struggle with integers.
Some people have trouble spelling out 911 on their phones.
I mean, it's pretty bad.
You know, they're like, I tried to call 9-11, but I can't find the 11 key.
Well, emergency response isn't for everyone.
There's a minimum IQ requirement.
And you've failed.
A little Darwinism at work right there.
So we can't build it.
Certainly not in any kind of competitive timeframe.
And when the U.S. has tried to build hypersonic missiles, which is the easiest of these systems that I just described, after spending billions of dollars with total waste and fraud with companies like Raytheon and Boeing and whoever else, General Dynamics, just all the weapons companies, you spend billions of dollars and then it doesn't work.
So they canceled the hypersonic missile program like two years ago or something.
Yeah, it doesn't work.
So when Trump wants to rattle his saber, he wants to puff up his chest like, you know, America, F yeah.
What does he have to blow up?
Old outdated nuclear weapons that were designed in the 1970s or 1980s.
That's all we've got.
We don't have anything fancy, you know.
And just a few days ago, we were trying to fly helicopters and F-18s in the South China Sea and they fell into the sea.
It's like, oh, man, you can't even fly around without dropping into the sea.
I mean, you weren't even being shot at.
Even then, our military, I mean, when our aircraft carriers were near Yemen, you know, the Yemen military shot down several of our aircraft, and we were told this BS Star, they rolled off the aircraft carrier.
They fell off the side, you know.
What do you think this is?
Like a high school party of guys in the back of a pickup truck, and we took the corner too strong.
A couple guys fell out.
That's what they're telling us.
Just a couple of F-18s just rolled off the edge.
Yeah, that's what wheel chalks are for, you know?
You're supposed to strap them down.
You don't just roll them around on the surface of the ship, for God's sake.
But these are the kinds of things that happen when empires are collapsing.
Their aircraft and helicopters fall into the sea, and they have multi-million dollar fighter jets rolling off the surfaces of their aircraft carriers, which themselves are wildly outdated and barely function sometimes.
So, I mean, this is where we are.
All that Trump can do, you know, Trump can't demonstrate a hypersonic missile.
He can't demonstrate anything like Oreshnik.
You know, that's like 25 years away for America to have even anything close to that, if ever.
You know, we don't have the Poseidon underwater nuclear drones, and we don't have nuclear-powered cruise missiles.
We don't have any of that stuff.
And frankly, the last parade we had, what was it, this Army parade.
And I don't mean any disrespect to our service members because I honor our veterans.
But, you know, that parade, I mean, it looked like a Charlie Chaplin movie, frankly.
It looked like comedy hour.
And the equipment was built in the 70s and 80s.
It's like, oh, my God.
If you're going to have a parade like that, you're better to just cancel the parade because it does not show strength.
I mean, the guys couldn't even march in step with each other.
They all had their own separate marching cadence.
You know, whatever happened, I mean, even Bill Murray in Stripes, he could march with the troops in comedy hour.
And today, apparently, our troops can't even march in sync.
So you see where I'm going with this.
Look, I love my country.
I love America.
I love what America was founded on.
I've dedicated so much of my life to trying to help America be healthier and be more prosperous and succeed, et cetera.
So it pains me to see this, but America is collapsing into arrogance and stupidity, apathy, complacency, just total incompetence at every level, massive incompetence.
I mean, look who's running the Pentagon.
A guy who's got zero qualifications to be the Secretary of Defense or war for that matter.
Zero qualifications, right?
He ran a platoon at one point.
Yeah, who cares?
It doesn't qualify you for that.
I mean, our equipment is outdated.
Our tactics are outdated.
We continue to think that we can just outproduce the world, but then we don't have any production.
It's just so bizarre.
And, you know, Trump will promise weapons to countries like, yeah, we'll send you 17 Patriot missile batteries.
I think he said that to Ukraine at one point.
And all the guys in the military were like, what 17 Patriot missile batteries?
Because we don't have 17 Patriot missile batteries.
Trump's writing checks with his mouth that the DOD can't cash, so to speak, can't back them up.
It doesn't compute.
We can't manufacture much of anything anymore.
Even the Patriot missile interceptors, our annual output on those is so unbelievably limited that I believe it's that just in the 12-day conflict recently between Iran and Israel, I think they shot off something like 25% of our annual production in 12 days, something like that.
Maybe it was even more than that.
But it was shocking to realize that if we go to war with a country like China, we will fire off so much ammunition and missiles and munitions of all kinds in two weeks.
In two weeks of war, it will take us more than two years to replenish that.
And that's if we can get the rare earth minerals in order to manufacture those products.
And of course, China has put new restrictions on the export of those minerals.
And China has over 90% control across the board of rare earths.
So again, Trump is speaking from a place thinking that it's like 1952 or something, where, you know, we have all the factories, we make all the steel, you know, we have all the weapons.
We can just make it and give it to anybody we want.
I mean, he's living in the past because in reality today, we can't make it.
We don't have it.
We ran out.
We can't get the materials to make it.
Supply chain's all jacked up because Trump keeps throwing tariffs around like they're hacky sacks or something or cornhole bean bags.
And he's playing a game of cornholing with tariffs, which is probably appropriate if you use the version of cornhole from Beavis and Butthead.
That's exactly what Trump is doing.
He's cornholing the whole world.
And the tariffs are destroying the supply chains that we need in order to manufacture military weapons.
So again, back to Trump's promise here of, you know, we're going to blow up nuclear weapons.
Yeah.
So what?
That doesn't impress anybody because that technology has existed since the 1940s.
I mean, so what?
Trump?
Does it make you feel like a bigger man to detonate a nuclear weapon?
Does it give you a hard on or something?
I mean, what is it?
Just blowing up a nuke doesn't mean anything.
It just says that we're still living in the past.
I mean, it's actually an announcement to Russia that we don't have anything new.
I mean, it's a confirmation that our military is living in the 1970s.
You know, if not, in Trump's mind, maybe the 1950s at this point.
I don't know how far back in time we got to go, but Trump's not living in 2025.
That's for sure.
And detonating a bunch of nukes.
It's not going to impress China.
It's not going to impress Iran.
In fact, Iran will probably say, well, this is one more reason why we got to kick out all the weapons inspectors, which I'm pretty sure they already did that.
And we just got to build our own nukes because now Trump is clearly sending a message that he wants to start a nuclear war, which is incredibly stupid when Russia's got the advanced nuclear weapons delivery systems.
And Russia's got almost 6,000 nuclear weapons.
And China's got something like 1,500 nukes and they're building, and they're very, very capable of building advanced weapons delivery systems.
China's got some of the best technology in the world right now.
I mean, really the best in many areas, including robotics and drones and advanced materials science and many other areas.
Perhaps not in rocketry.
I think Russia and the United States still lead in rocketry, but China has got five times more engineers every year coming out of their schools compared to us.
And their engineers aren't woke idiots.
They can actually do math, you know?
It's like, I don't mean to sound racist, but Chinese people are good at math.
I mean, that's why the California school system had to penalize people for being Chinese.
Because I've said this before, but if they let people get into colleges in California based only on merit, that is, you know, your test scores and your mental capabilities, that you're qualified to attend, you know, education and higher learning, the campuses would be about 80% Asian.
But they wanted more black people.
They wanted more minorities.
They wanted more gay people.
They wanted queers.
They wanted whatever.
And so they had to punish you for being Asian.
And the Asians didn't figure out quickly enough that everybody else is just lying on their application saying that they're a minority, you know, like white people saying they're black in order to get the black scholarships.
The Asians didn't figure out that you could just say you're not Asian and the university would have to take your word for it, even if you look Asian, because you could just say, I self-identify as black or whatever, and then you would have made it into the university, you see.
But the Asians were too honest for the California education system, it turns out.
But I'm sorry about that tangent, but it was worth mentioning.
But the Asian brain is like pre-built for math.
Seriously.
It's like, I'm pretty sure that when an Asian mom is pregnant, the baby has an abacus to practice with before they're born.
They get like nine or 10 months on the abacus.
When they come out, they can already do multiplication.
You know, I mean, six months in, they're doing algebra and like two years old calculus.
It's like that's not much of an exaggeration.
So China's going to be catching up on these weapons systems in no time.
And of course, we already know that China has 200 times more dry dock capacity for building ships than does the United States.
I mean, the U.S. military, which is why the U.S. military is building naval ships in South Korea.
We can't even build ships in America anymore.
I mean, not all of them.
We have to outsource that to Korea.
Did you know that?
Nope.
Why Korea?
Well, I already explained it.
Asian mind knows how to do math.
They can do the calculations for shipbuilding, which actually requires a lot of math.
Koreans are great at it.
You see, I mean, here's another thing.
Sorry, but I got to rant about this.
If we had just let the Asians into the universities as they deserved, we would be so far ahead of China because we would have, you know, we would have graduated a huge number of highly capable, awesome mathematicians and scientists and physicists, etc.
But the Libtards in California didn't want too many Asians to come out of the system.
They wanted skin color diversity.
And so we didn't get the best engineers, did we?
We got the most colorful skin pigmentation variety coming out of the universities, but we did not get the best engineers because we didn't let the most qualified people in there.
See?
So that's the bigotry of wokeism at work right there.
That's the radical left thinking or saying that, oh, we're going to be fair and everybody has an equal opportunity.
No, you're punishing Asians for being smart.
And that's why, that's one of the reasons why we can't build anything.
Because you punish the smart people.
That's stupid.
That's one of the dumbest things you could do when you're in a race with the rest of the world for AI dominance or you're in a race for weapons dominance.
You're in a race for the miniaturization of compact nuclear energy technology, which Russia has mastered.
You're going to need some Asians is what I'm saying.
You're going to need some Japanese in there.
You're going to need some Koreans, some Chinese.
Get some Taiwanese people in there.
Get some Vietnamese.
You better have the Asian invasion of the university system if you want to get some micro-nuclear technology rocking.
Okay?
Seriously.
But instead, you punish the Asians for being smart.
And now your military is a bunch of dumbass, like incompetent, outdated, outmoded, you know, fat slobs for the most part running around.
And that's what you end up with.
Oh, yeah, with their uniforms decorated with all kinds, so many ribbons and crap.
It looks like an LGBT sidewalk crossing.
You know?
It's like, dude, you got more ribbons on your chest than 12 perves at a furry party.
Where'd you get all these damn ribbons?
You didn't earn anything.
You've never been on the battlefield, general.
So let me put it this way.
Trump's demonstration of detonating nuclear weapons, it would be like this.
It would be like, let's see if we can get the right year here.
It would be like the year, let's take like 1792.
Okay, 1792.
Interesting year, right?
And the military technology of the day had cannons, which fired a giant iron ball or clusters of, you know, little exploding mortars.
Or you had muskets and you had some early rifles with actual barrel rifling.
But most of the firearms of the day were muskets without rifling.
They were just straight bore barrels.
Now, but even then, it's very strong military dominance with cannons and rifles compared to Native American Indians who had bows and arrows and Tomahawks, not the cruise missiles, but like the hatchets, you know, and they had stone blades and knives and spears and things like that.
But they had the bow and arrow, which is a more advanced weapon.
Well, if the early colonists were showing off, or even like the British military was showing off, you know, cannons and rifles and guns and straight bore guns.
And then they were fighting a bunch of Indians and then the Indians were saying, oh, well, we're going to puff up our chests.
We're going to shoot a bunch of arrows into the sky.
That would be what Trump is doing now by detonating ancient nuclear weapons or outdated nuclear weapons.
It's like shooting arrows around saying, aren't we awesome?
We can shoot a bunch of arrows.
Yeah, that's nothing compared to the advanced weaponry that Russia has.
And if a group of Native Americans were to fire their, you know, their arrows into the air as a show of force, you know, the other side would mock them.
It's like, that's kind of silly because we're not afraid of your arrows.
You know, we will hit you with cannons.
And that's like Putin saying to Trump, I'm imagining he didn't actually say this, but in my mind, Putin must be thinking, you know, Trump, we're not afraid of your old obsolete, inaccurate nuclear weapons because we can strike with precision anywhere in the world at any time and bypass all of your defenses.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
We've already got you surrounded with nuclear weapons underwater, right off your coasts on both the East Coast and West Coast.
I mean, checkmate, we've already got you.
And Trump is like, no, we're going to shoot arrows around.
Just act like some big bros.
You know, that's what Trump's doing.
It's almost like Trump is making a mockery of America.
And if you know anything about the history of America's testing of nuclear weapons, you know, I mean, the crimes against humanity, the testing, you know, where the word bikini comes from, the Bikini Islands.
We fried a bunch of human beings.
We destroyed their ecosystems.
We destroyed their islands.
We detonated nuclear weapons and committed crimes against nature, crimes against people, crimes against, you know, humanity.
We did that again and again in the history of the United States, not to mention the dropping on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, obviously, which were civilian populations.
Those were crimes against humanity.
And hundreds of thousands of people killed.
So the history of America testing nuclear weapons is a history of criminality and weapons of mass destruction being deployed against, like in the case of the Bikini Islands and so on, completely innocent people.
They weren't even at war with America.
They were dancing around eating taro, just minding their own business when all of a sudden, kaboom, giant mushroom cloud one island away, you know, and then they all die from radiation poisoning.
And the U.S. is like, we don't care.
This is what we do.
You've got to dominate the world, you know?
So it's actually a disgusting history of nuclear testing.
And Trump wants to bring it back.
So I don't agree with these left-wing protesters that clearly suffer from Trump derangement syndrome.
They hate Trump for all the wrong reasons.
I'm concerned about Trump, his arrogance and his ignorance about history, his ignorance about war, about weapons, about military doctrine, and his just very belligerent style that you can't even call diplomacy because Trump and the word diplomacy do not work in the same sentence.
And I'm not saying that he doesn't love America.
Clearly, he wants America to be the greatest country in the world, but he's going about it, in my opinion, entirely the wrong way, trying to coerce and threaten everybody else into compliance with America's agenda, which is dollar hegemony, obviously.
And increasingly, Trump is resorting to using just outdated weapon systems, you know, sailing aircraft carriers around the world or claiming that we bombed the Fordo mountain in Iran, which I'm not even sure that ever happened.
Nobody saw any such thing happen.
There's, you know, the satellite pictures don't seem to show that that happened at all.
It looks like somebody just set off a suitcase bomb of C4 on the surface, you know?
So, you know, instead of making America more competitive domestically with things like education reform and getting us back to a science and math education system and, you know, decentralizing the education system away from the teachers unions, which are highly destructive, Trump is mostly focused on threatening everybody else into compliance through tariffs, sanctions, and weapons threats or threats of bombing, et cetera.
And the rest of the world is at the point where they're calling Trump's bluff.
And my fear in this situation is like this.
Have you ever, like, I'm trained, I trained for many years in the basics of martial arts, striking some Brazilian jiu-jitsu, you know, Krop Maga, martial arts, whatever, edge weapon systems, you know, many, many years of training.
And I don't consider myself, you know, I mean, I couldn't, you know, compete with a professional fighter, but I could easily defend myself against somebody who never had any of that training at all.
And have you ever seen videos where there's usually some drunk guy in a bar or something who's mad at a professional UFC fighter?
And the drunk guy just keeps trying to pick a fight with this guy.
He's like, I'm going to kick your ass.
Maybe he tries to slap him or something.
And usually the UFC fighter, who is a professional fighter, obviously, usually they're very well behaved.
Because they don't go to bars to try to prove they can fight.
That doesn't count.
It only counts in the cage, right?
In the ring.
Or the octagon, as it is in some renditions of it.
But when the UFC fighter actually decides to turn it on and deal with this incessant bully who maybe just slapped him or something, it only takes one strike from the UFC fighter to take out the pesky, drunken idiot who thinks he's a fighter.
In this story, Trump is the pesky drunk idiot who keeps pestering the rest of the world with sanctions and tariffs and boastful threats and coercion tactics and so on.
And Russia is the professional UFC fighter.
And Russia has been holding back, just like the UFC fighters.
Like, we don't want an incident here.
We're not trying to escalate.
But if Russia gets to the point where they decide it's time to end this, they will end it with one strike, just like the UFC fighter.
And a UFC fighter might typically use, I don't know, an elbow to the temple.
That's a very effective move right there.
One of my favorites.
I almost knocked out a guy that was wearing training pads when I was in training.
And he said, he said, you can go full force.
You go full force.
So we had full contact training where I wasn't wearing any pads, but he was, and I was allowed to strike him.
So I hit him in the temple with an elbow, just about knocked him out through the training pads.
And he was like, don't do that again.
That's too much.
Yeah, because if you torque correctly, you can deliver a tremendous amount of force to the side of someone's skull, right?
Well, that's what Russia is going to do to America if Trump keeps going in this direction.
And we're going to end up with losing the East Coast, probably.
Or losing military bases, or maybe there'll be Oreshnik strikes all across America, hitting the military-industrial complex factories across America.
I wouldn't be surprised because Russia has said, and Medvedev has, or Medvedev has said, that we are essentially at war with the United States.
Now, he's more of a hothead.
He speaks more aggressively than Putin.
But his position is, I think, pretty widely understood in Moscow and even by Putin, who has done, in my view, Putin has done everything to try not to escalate this to nuclear war.
Even though the British have tried to provoke nuclear war, the French and the Germans have certainly engaged in provocations, and now Trump is.
Putin has held back.
He doesn't want global nuclear war because everybody loses.
But Western countries seem to want nuclear war.
And Trump ordering weapons testing, this is exactly like that.
It's like, you know, he's the pesky drunk guy in the bar that the professional fighter is going to put down, you know, with a strike.
And it might be a nuclear strike.
It might be a kinetic strike.
It might be a Oreshnik strike.
It might be sinking an aircraft carrier.
I don't know.
But I think Trump is treading into very dangerous territory.
We do not have a military advantage.
We do not have the best weapons.
We do not have the industrial might that we had in World War II.
We do not have the fit soldiers that we had when the U.S. Marines took Iwo Jima in the 1940s.
We don't have that today.
We have a military that's obese, that's, you know, we have a Pentagon that's filled with waste and fraud.
In fact, the only thing they're really good at doing is building bioweapons to deploy against the American people.
Operation Warp Speed.
And even then, they didn't get the kill rate that they wanted.
So they can't defeat Russia.
They can't defeat Iran.
They can't defeat China.
They can't defeat anybody.
They can't even defeat Yemen, for God's sake.
I mean, and it's starting to look pretty pathetic.
So if anybody's listening from the Trump administration, my advice would be don't poke the bear.
Don't start detonating nuclear weapons again.
You don't need the testing.
What you need, you need smarter people in America.
You need education reform.
You need to promote innovation.
And that comes from freedom of speech.
Also, you got to support freedom of speech.
Still don't see the Trump administration supporting freedom of speech.
In fact, he's cozying up to all the big tech people who engage in widespread censorship, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates and all these others, and Google, some of the worst people on the planet.
That's who Trump prefers to hang out with at the White House.
Those are the people that are hurting America, don't you see?
Their censorship hurts America.
Liberalism, wokeism hurts America, and money printing hurts America.
If we don't turn this around domestically, we can't compete on the world stage.
We can't compete with China for sure, nor even on many things.
We can't compete with Russia.
Even though our military budget is probably like 100 times larger than Russia's budget, you know, I'm just guessing, but it's crazy.
And yet, Russia is producing more capable weapons at a fraction of the expenditures compared to us.
How is that possible?
Yeah, well, that's kind of proving my point, that a trillion dollars a year goes into the Pentagon and then it vanishes down black holes and into people's pockets and Bitcoin wallets and so on.
But the actual weapons never get built and they just flat out do not work.
We knew this following a desert storm.
We knew that the Scud missiles were getting through, that the Patriot missiles didn't work then.
And the Scud missiles were dumb.
They didn't even maneuver and the Patriots couldn't intercept them most of the time.
You know, the Patriots had like a 90% failure rate then, but it's all about supporting the military-industrial complex.
It's just about selling weapons.
It's about the GDP of making weapons even when they don't work.
And, you know, Israel has actually been harmed by this.
Israel buys all these weapons, well, or we give them to Israel.
And then Israel relies on those weapons to block incoming missiles from Iran.
And it turns out they don't work.
And so Israel gets hit.
Could have been destroyed.
Maybe they will be.
Even Taiwan is ripped off, too.
Taiwan is kind of politically forced to buy all these weapons from the United States.
Weapons don't work.
Taiwan would vastly prefer to buy weapons from China or Russia because they work better.
But no, they have to buy them from the U.S. for political reasons to get, you know, U.S. protection or it's hardly, it's hardly really protection anymore.
Trump's slapping tariffs on Taiwan.
So it's like, even if you're America's ally, you still get hammered with tariffs.
It's kind of like, what's the point of being an ally with the U.S.?
You know, you get treated like dirt anyway.
Anyway, bottom line on this report is that Trump detonating nuclear weapons doesn't make him look like a big man to me, makes him look like a little crybaby.
And it makes a mockery of our country.
So, you know, shame on him and shame on anybody that supports that.
It's a joke on the world stage.
It's a joke.
You know, fission has been figured out for a long time.
Precision is what matters on the modern battlefield, and we don't have that.
You know, yeah, you can drop a giant nuke over a huge area and make a giant crater and a giant mushroom cloud and just blow up a bunch of stuff.
Yet that's not impressive.
It's stupid, actually.
It's an expression of stupidity and military incompetence.
And that's what Trump wants to demonstrate because he thinks he's a big man.
And he thinks that makes America look powerful.
No, it doesn't.
It makes America look stupid.
And it really rallies the world against America, which is why the dollar is being abandoned and will ultimately collapse.
So get ready for that.
All right.
Thanks for listening.
Look, I pray for America.
Join me in praying for America.
I don't know what to do about Trump.
I mean, he's, I certainly don't want the Democrats in charge.
They are insane.
But what Trump is doing is not at all what he campaigned on.
And he's doing a lot of damage to our economy.
He's doing a lot of damage to our reputation.
He's actually damaging the world economy with all of his tariffs and sanctions and his unpredictability, where every day Trump wakes up and his brain is a random number generator and it spits out some kind of new number.
15% tariff today.
No, 90%.
No.
We got a deal.
We got a framework.
No tariff.
Okay.
And then two weeks later, 20%.
It's like, how can anybody conduct business?
You know, Trump needs a coherent, long-term policy driven by a strategy that allows the business sector to be able to have some kind of a reliable expectation of where things are going to go or how they're going to work.
You can't change the rules every week.
All you're doing is destroying supply chains, destroying domestic industry, causing price increases for American consumers, disrupting overseas trading partners, and encouraging overseas producers to minimize their dependence on the U.S. marketplace and instead to develop other markets overseas with other trading partners.
That's what Trump is doing.
It's almost like Trump is carrying out the Obama agenda of destroying America from within.
I mean, it's almost, you know, we called Joe Biden Obama's third term.
Well, this Trump administration is almost Obama's fourth term in terms of what is happening domestically.
The extreme destruction, mass joblessness, mass destitution.
And the Trump administration just lies about all the numbers.
Oh, inflation is only 2.
What did they say?
2.9%?
Come on, give me a break.
It's just constant lies.
Oh, the economy's great.
Unemployment is low.
Everybody's got a job.
No, it's all lies.
What else do you expect?
All right.
Thanks for listening.
Pray for America.
Pray for Trump, too.
Pray that he could turn around on this and maybe not detonate nuclear weapons and not stumble into World War III and not piss off the whole world against America.
Just maybe some small requests.
But pray for him.
Pray that he comes to his senses before he does even more damage to this country.
