Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for being with us.
My name is Paul Harrell.
As always, we cannot do the program without you watching every single day.
You guys certainly know the drill by now.
So over the course of the week, most of the news coverage centered around the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and the expectation of more damage from Hurricane Milton.
One of the stories, because of all that, one of the stories we haven't talked about in a while is the terrifying scenario where nuclear weapons are used either in the Middle East or in Ukraine or Russia.
The intel oligarchs are desperate to maintain control of their rules-based global order, whatever that means.
And according to polling, President Trump appears to be gaining momentum in swing states.
Kamala's media blitz completely backfired.
As it turns out, you can't run a campaign on joy, or at least fake joy, that's for sure.
So, given the state of the situation for the desperate deep state, now might be the perfect time to kick off World War III. On Tuesday of this week, journalist Liam Crossgrove asked a question of State Department spokesman Matthew Miller about the recklessness of bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war.
Watch.
Israel is still poised to strike Iran.
And in July, Blinken said that Iran was one to two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.
So I guess for all we know, they might have one by now.
And meanwhile, in Ukraine, they've struck deep within Russian territory several times, as deep as 300 miles from the border.
And in that case, we don't have to guess.
We know that Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet, as many as 6,000 warheads.
And so one of the risks of arming militaries that are striking in the territories of nuclear powers is that One of those gets deployed, and then it could escalate very quickly from there.
It's rarely discussed, but it's important to address that the nuclear risk is real, and it could very abruptly mean the end of what humans have worked for thousands of years to collectively achieve.
Us today are very lucky to live with the fruits of that achievement, and I feel like we're treating the risks kind of brazenly.
So my question for you is, you know, we often hear in response to these concerns that, well, Putin, Khomeini, you know, they're war criminals, they're terrorists.
As if they're too inherently evil or immoral for us to negotiate with.
But meanwhile, this administration has financed a genocide in Gaza for the last year, and every day you're up there denying accountability for it.
So, I mean, what gives you the right to lecture other countries on their moral?
So, if you have a policy question for me, I'm happy to take it.
If you want to give a speech, there are places in Washington where you can give a speech.
Yeah, but people are sick of the bullshit in here.
I mean, it is a genocide.
You are abetting it, and you are risking nuclear war in Ukraine for this proxy war.
Plenty of other places to give a speech.
Go ahead.
So joining us now to talk more about this is the CEO of Our Country, Our Choice.
Colonel Douglas McGregor is with us.
Colonel McGregor, welcome to the Millstone Report, sir.
Thank you so much.
Sure.
By the way, Paul, I really like your necktie.
Oh, well, thank you.
It's a great choice.
Can't get much more red, white, and blue into one tie than that one.
That's true.
That's true.
Well, I was feeling rather patriotic today because you're our guest.
You know, you tweeted, I guess, a couple of days ago about how we can talk about Ukraine first or take it wherever you want to go.
But that Zelensky's now ruling out bargaining with Russia.
And yet, last week or a couple weeks ago, I know we saw him look like a hostage when he had that meeting with President Donald Trump.
What are your thoughts?
I mean, are they bringing us to the brink of World War III? The Ukraine war is over.
It was lost last year.
It's just that we in Washington, I say we, I'm talking about the people in Washington, refuse to admit that this has been a huge strategic mistake.
They set out, they hoped to goad Russia into attacking into Ukraine.
Russia finally, after being goaded for years, did it.
Then they thought that, great, we've got the Russians right where we want them.
We'll mire them in a war they can't possibly win.
And they always talked about what a great power Russia was and how dangerous it was.
And then they began to talk about the fact that the Russian army was actually quite small.
The Russian armed forces weren't prepared to defeat the threat that we had created in Eastern Ukraine.
They derided the performance of the Russians.
Three years later, the Ukrainian army is effectively destroyed.
There is nothing left.
What is left are remnants, and they're being crushed as you and I talk.
And the Russian military establishment is more powerful, more capable, more lethal, and more dangerous than it has been certainly since the 1980s.
So whatever we set out to achieve, we got the opposite.
Now your question is, how close to nuclear war are we?
Well, I think we have to understand something.
And President Putin, who has bent over backwards to avoid a confrontation with us and NATO, and certainly wants nothing to do with the idea of a nuclear war, I simply said that if you use these long-range strike weapons, whether they're launched from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Ukraine, we will treat that particular country as a co-belligerent and as an extension of the United States.
We will respond to that threat the way we would to the United States if it launched a nuclear weapon.
I think he's made it pretty clear, and I think he's scared the living daylights out of people in the Department of Defense.
I think he's frightened the White House.
They won't admit it publicly.
And I think as a result, they've tried to rein in the Ukrainians now.
The CIA and MI6, the two major intelligence organizations, are really the agencies running the war on the ground in Ukraine and directing matters.
They've been told to exercise restraint, to avoid antagonizing the Russians to the point where they would exceed the limits that they have set for themselves and turn to something more destructive.
So I don't think we are close to a nuclear confrontation in Ukraine.
I think that the danger hasn't completely passed.
But it's not as acute as it once was.
The danger and I think the focus has really shifted now to the Middle East.
And whatever we say about Ukraine, the truth is that war is lost.
Ukraine is destroyed as a nation.
We're going to see new governments come to power in Europe.
And I think eventually the Russians and new governments in Germany and other countries will settle the war in Ukraine.
And we will simply pack up our gear and leave.
We've done that before.
We did that after Vietnam.
We do it whenever we fail miserably.
And we have failed almost everywhere.
But the problem in the Middle East is very different, because we're not in charge in the Middle East.
Mr.
Netanyahu is in charge.
He has more influence and control over the United States Armed Forces right now than our own government.
And he is hell-bent to go to war with Iran.
He sees Iran as the key to everything in the region that's wrong.
If he can destroy Iran, bring down the government, demolish the place, somehow or another, all of Israel's problems will vanish.
That's not true.
In fact, things will get much worse.
And there are thousands and thousands of Russians on the ground in Iran right now.
They have helped to hastily establish an effective air and missile defense structure.
At least it looks like it will be effective.
They brought in additional armaments and munitions.
There are even Russian pilots on the ground that can fly Iranian aircraft.
So Russia is firmly installed as a co-belligerent with Iran in the event that we attack Iran.
And right now, that's the real reason for all the carrier battle groups And the air power that we've assembled, a thousand fighter jets, and the bombers that we've moved to Diego Garcia and to other places in Europe.
It's all designed to attack Iran.
And there are lots of people in Washington, as you pointed out, that are very excited at the prospect of attacking Iran without understanding the larger strategic implications.
And those are very straightforward, that the Russians will come in and they will not allow Iran to be destroyed.
And I would argue that increasingly it looks like the Turks, who are certainly no friends of the Iranians, will likely also come in because of what's happening in Lebanon.
And behind them both stand China.
The Chinese are absolutely not going to allow Iran to be destroyed either.
They're heavily dependent upon the oil and natural gas that flows out of the Persian Gulf.
So they will react very negatively.
And behind them, there are another 84 countries in the world that are lining up to join BRICS, which is this alternative economic community, if you will, that will have its own trade relations, its own commerce, its own gold, silver-backed currency, probably with other commodities.
Everyone has decided they want to get out from under us, out from under our financial hegemony, our military hegemony, our political hegemony, which most of the world now regards as something that's very oppressive and damaging.
So I think Israel is certainly in trouble.
I don't know how Israel comes out of this in the long run, but I think we are too.
So the danger is that we lose badly, and then we respond in a gesture of futility with a nuclear weapon, at which point in time Pandora's box opens and anything is possible.
I hope we don't do that, and I sincerely hope that the Israelis don't, because that would be catastrophic.
I'm glad that you brought up bricks, because that was my next question.
How much of this is about...
I've talked about before how here in America or in the West, it seems like we kind of live in a financial iron curtain in a way where we never actually reap the economic consequences you think we would, going from When I first started in radio, $12 trillion in debt, and everybody talked about it and how horrible it was, and now we're over $30 trillion, and for the most part, nothing bad seems to happen, right?
We just are totally detached from economic fundamentals or fundamental principles.
Well, I think it wasn't Ben Stein who said, everything goes on until it can't.
In other words, the machine runs until it stops, and I think that's where we are right now.
This national sovereign debt is going to be dismissed by people until they can't dismiss it anymore.
And I think that's where we're headed.
And I can't predict when, but if you listen to Nassim Taleb, for instance, who talks about these things, or Gundlach, Or any number of financial analysts, they all know that this is a very dangerous set of circumstances.
And we are on the edge of the abyss.
We're staring into disaster.
War is not a cure for what ails us.
War will destroy us.
And we need to understand that.
Meantime, no one in Washington gives a damn, apparently, about the open borders.
The fact that we have 52, 53, 54 million people inside our borders who were not born in our country.
No one seems to be terribly concerned about the dramatic rise in criminality, the breakdown in law and order.
Everyone is focused in Washington on what happens next in Israel and I think In the future, there will be less and less discussion about Ukraine, just as there was less and less discussion about Vietnam after 1975.
But I think everyone will focus on the Middle East.
That's where the eyes are.
They're not on what's happening to us here at home.
Wow.
So you said, yeah, war.
I watch or subscribe to your Twitter feed, and so you're Constantly saying, make peace, you fools.
And I think that's apropos.
How much confidence, though, do you have?
Let's assume that Donald Trump overcomes potential election fraud and is elected and assumes power again.
It's back in the White House.
Do you have confidence that he's going to be an agent of peace?
Or are more of the neocons who tend to want to gravitate towards him, tend to want to continue the same foreign policy disasters that have affected the Middle East for really all of my lifetime?
Well, I had the good fortune to meet with Donald Trump, and I like the man.
I have great affection for President Trump.
And if he follows his instincts, he will disengage us from these overseas commitments that can drag us into wars.
We don't need to fight against people who really aren't our enemies.
He very definitely understands that that's the case in Ukraine and wants to disengage from that.
I think, unfortunately, he's got a lot of people around him who don't want to disengage and are going to try and find reasons to keep us involved.
And they're going to make it difficult for him to disengage.
I don't know that President Trump completely understands that personnel is policy.
You've got to have people there who are genuinely loyal to you and support you and your policy stance.
And that's a question I can't answer right now.
Now, I know on the Middle East side, he's firmly in the grips of the lobby that also controls Biden and his administration.
So I don't see any change being very likely if he is elected in the Middle East.
In fact, if you listen to some of his language, he conceivably would make it even worse in terms of Iran and war in the region.
Now, some of that could be election rhetoric.
Who knows?
You know, we do have a problem in the United States, Paul, that we talk about it sometimes, but not often enough.
We have what I call The Bombs Away Club.
There's always a group of people that think that whenever we bomb someone somewhere, our greatness is demonstrated, and that we as a great power benefit from that.
I've never bought into that notion.
But there are a lot of people who think in those terms, and perhaps some of that rhetoric is for them.
But I think in Ukraine, there's no question he understands the criticality of disengaging.
Whether or not he understands the criticality of doing something similar in the Middle East is open to question.
But if he's presented with reality and understands what he's dealing with, and that depends on the people who are around him, I think he'll reach the right conclusions.
Yeah, I certainly hope so.
I don't want World War III, and I think if, personally, if Kamala gets in, I think we're just going to have more of the same, this sprint to annihilating ourselves.
Well, Paul, if I could just add something here, and I hope your audience understands this.
I say this all the time in Washington.
Of course, in Washington, it's an unpopular position to take.
There is nothing more important beyond the borders of the United States than what happens today inside our country.
We have got to secure that border.
I'm not saying that, you know, you just strengthen the border patrol.
No, we need about 50, 60,000 troops down on the Mexican border.
We need to secure the northern border as well.
It doesn't get as much attention, but it's also Effectively open.
And we need to secure our literal waters.
All sorts of things come into our ports, and they come in disguised and undetected.
We've got to secure the country.
The continental United States must be secure.
That's number one.
And then we have a war inside our country that's going to unfold.
Because as soon as you cut off the flow of drugs, Coming up through the Mexican border and we also have that problem coming down out of Canada or coming into the ports.
You're going to be at war with organized crime with roots in Central America and elsewhere inside our country.
That war has to be fought and won.
So those things are life and death matters for us as a society.
What has always made the United States a wonderful place to live and why people came here, particularly in the last hundred years, is because, Paul, we always had the rule of law.
I have a friend who emigrated here from Turkey, and he regularly reminds me, he said, oh, I love this country.
It took him five or six years to become a citizen.
He says, the best thing about the United States is the freedom and the freedom from bribery.
And I said, what do you mean?
He said, I don't have to bribe anyone to get something done.
He said, if you go almost anywhere else in the world, if you want somebody to fix something, whether it's an air conditioner, an automobile, you end up paying bribes.
This sort of corruption is endemic all over much of the world.
It hasn't established itself here, but we're getting closer and closer.
So I think we need to really focus here at home, and that's something that Washington just doesn't want to do.
I think you're exactly right.
So earlier in the week, as Hurricane Milton was bearing down, there was a viral clip.
You were interviewing Mr.
Dane Wiggington of Geoengineering Watch about the idea of weather modification of the technologies that different governments have to essentially weaponize the weather.
And it got a lot of traction and it was spreading everywhere and it even garnered a response from Joe Biden.
Let's watch.
Now the claims are getting even more bizarre.
Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a congresswoman of Georgia, is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather.
We're controlling the weather.
It's beyond ridiculous.
It's got to stop.
Moments like this, there are no red or blue states.
Okay, so my question is, what's more shocking?
The idea that the government has technologies to manipulate the weather or juice a hurricane or whatever, or the idea that there are so many Americans at the point where they are willing to believe that That their own government would kill large amounts of our own people.
And this goes right to the border, by the way.
Right to the border question of essentially allowing us to be invaded by third world barbarian hordes that are, according to Michael Yon, not coming over to take our jobs, but coming over to conquer our society, take our very lives.
What are your thoughts?
Michael Yan has done brilliant work on this subject.
You couldn't find anybody better to talk about it because he's traveled with the hordes, as you call them, coming into the country.
There's much truth in what he says about the true purpose.
I think there are a couple of things.
First of all, it is frightening that so many Americans are willing to believe the worst of their government.
But I think that tells us where we are right now.
A friend of mine who's a biblical scholar Likes to say the beginning of wisdom is mistrust of the government and the media.
I'm afraid he's probably right, Paul, because we don't get much truth.
We really don't.
So I think there are good reasons For Americans to doubt what the government tells them, especially somebody like Biden, who's been almost a perfect cutout as a paper president, a total facade.
He's clearly not in control and hasn't been from day one.
He's a useful ploy, somebody to put out in front to convince Americans that really there's no massive change underway when we know there is.
So that the first thing is, yes, I think Americans have a lot of reasons to distrust what they hear in their government, especially when you look at the response to the last hurricane.
I mean, I could not conceive of a worse set of circumstances than what I was shown in Asheville, North Carolina, and other areas where the federal government was just absent.
It's worse than It's negligence and incompetence.
FEMA's been a big disappointment.
I think that's been true for a long time.
I don't know what you do about it, except that you've got to get new people in charge, and that's why everybody thinks that they're going to get a new outcome with the election.
I'm not sure.
I hope so.
But the bottom line is, the reasons that people don't trust the government are obvious and apparent.
Now, the second thing is, Is somebody manipulating the weather?
I interviewed Dane because I think very highly of him.
He is a very serious man.
He's done a lot of study for a very long time.
He makes a very good case.
I am not in a position as a citizen to establish the scientific merits of his argument.
I just can't.
I don't know enough about it.
But I think what he says deserves a hearing.
And I don't think that what he is saying is implausible.
The real question is, if it's true, why would we direct that against our own people?
But then again, why would you leave your borders open?
Why would you invite millions of people to come into the country who are never going to be Americans, don't want to be Americans?
If anything, they're going to colonize us and try to transform us into some facsimile of their own country where they came from, their country of origin.
This is not a new phenomenon.
We've dealt with this before, but never, ever on the scale that we have now.
And I don't know if we can survive it.
I think we have to reverse it.
And I think Donald Trump is right about that.
And it can be done.
Anybody who says, no, it's impossible, we're finished, we can't do it, that's a lot of nonsense.
We can.
But it's not going to be easy.
It's going to be gut-wrenching.
It's going to be ugly.
Well, I know you have to go here in just a moment.
So, last question.
Do you think mass deportations are one of the key pillars in fixing the country?
And do you think if Trump is elected, he will actually follow through with it?
Well, I've been asked by others who are involved in the campaign for president what I would do, and I once wrote or drafted an executive order for President Trump in October 2016 about the border and how to secure it.
Fox News actually posted it on their website.
Unfortunately, nobody in the Trump camp even looked at it until the summer of 2017, and the opportunity to take decisive action was lost.
I'm sure you'll remember, Paul, wherever the president went when he was running for office, vast crowds would chant, you know, build the wall, build the wall, build the wall.
And I thought that would be the first thing he did.
It wasn't.
And the wall never really went up.
A portion of it did.
But the bottom line is the wall in and of itself is not enough.
You have to have a system in place that's designed to screen out, stop criminality, halt illegal immigration.
That hasn't happened.
The opposite has.
Now, what would we do?
I think the first thing you do is that you announce that everyone inside the United States who is not legally in the United States, and I mean legally here, they do not have permission to be here, has 90 to 120 days to leave.
And if they leave voluntarily, they can leave with whatever they own, and they can register on the way out with federal authorities.
And down the line, when our society is more stable, order has been restored, the rule of law is strong, then we will consider them for reentry.
But if they don't voluntarily leave, and they don't register with us on the way out, Then as soon as that time period elapses, 90 to 120 days, whatever it turns out to be, then they are going to be subject to the law.
And the laws are going to be very harsh.
And the laws need to do certain things.
Number one, we're going to confiscate your property, whatever it is.
You, your family, everybody associated with you will be deported.
Period.
You're out.
And you're never going to get back in again.
If you're committing crimes, you're going to suffer the full penalty under the law.
And I think most important of all, we have to make it very clear that this sort of thing will never be tolerated again.
And that means that you've got to send troops to the border.
You've got to militarize it for the period of time that is necessary to build the new system.
Once it's installed, then I think we need to change the laws and we need to make defense of our borders a national defense mission.
I would place the Border Patrol under the Department of the Army inside the Department of Defense.
And that makes sense because from 1846 until 1948, it was the United States Army.
And most of its cavalry regiments that served on the borders of this country and secured it.
So this is not some, you know, radical proposal by any stretch of the imagination.
This is what we did in the past and it worked.
It stopped the criminality from spilling into the country from Mexico.
It halted illicit activities on the border with Canada.
So I think these things can all be done, but it has to be the top priority.
It has to be more important than anything else.
And that's why I said earlier, what we do inside our country, inside our society right now, is vastly more important than anything happening in the Middle East or Eastern Europe.
Our future as a nation, as a people, will not be decided in the deserts of the Middle East.
Or in the vast steppes and forests and hills of Ukraine.
Our future is going to be decided here.
And the notion that we have enemies gathering on our borders to invade us is nonsense.
We're invaded, that's for sure.
And we have a real problem with the drug cartels.
But we don't want to go to war with Mexico.
That won't benefit anyone.
It certainly won't help Mexico.
We've got to fight and win the war here at home first.
Remember, we're losing over 100,000 American lives every year to fentanyl.
How often do you hear anybody talk about it?
It's hardly ever discussed.
Colonel Douglas McGregor, I appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your time.
Very enlightening, and I'd love to do it again soon sometime.
Okay, my friend.
Thank you for inviting me to join you.
Yes, sir.
Absolutely.
It's been my pleasure.
Folks, we're going to take a break.
We've got a great rest of the show for you, so don't go anywhere.
We'll be back here in just a moment.
Hey, guys. guys.
Hope you're doing well.
Why don't you just do a quick minute on quick market updates.
I know we have the Fed lowering interest rates and it's going to send markets into a volatile state.
You need to get your house in order and we're here to protect you.
So if you haven't received any of these type of returns, let me show you.
Long term speaking.
Long term money.
If you haven't received any of this type of returns since 2002, a 24%, a 17%, a 5%, a 12%, a 9%, all the way in 2008, this index lost 14% when you knew the market was down 40%.
We got a zero.
This is an insurance-based contract, great for long-term growth, and you need to get in here to take advantage of the higher interest rates.
Last year, we made 19.48%.
These are real numbers.
Of course, past numbers are not indicative of future results, but what I'm trying to say is that right now is not the time to be in the stock market, and here's why.
You need to put your retirement funds in a safe, secured asset class.
That doesn't matter.
The market goes up, down, sideways, left or right, because this index has a rotating device where it can go from S&P to NASDAQ to treasuries when there's volatility to commodities.
And if commodities are still in the election again, inflation rise to the roof.
Now we have the ability to make money off of gas, fuel, pork bellies, commodities, sugar, cocoa, precious metals.
Commodities is going to be a huge thing if rising inflation kicks back up.
I know they're trying to deflate our economy, but you need a rotating index that can be volatile.
And this is a great, great account.
This is where I put my retirement at, as well as hundreds and hundreds of other clients.
And we're experiencing these great returns.
This could be you.
All you got to do is give us a call at 813-448-3446 or visit us at CortezWM.com.
And let's just have a conversation.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the program.
Really want to, again, thank Colonel Douglas McGregor for coming on the program.
Very enlightening.
Guy obviously has a command of the facts and a situation on the ground, and he's exactly right about...
The future of America.
I think that was the most powerful part of the interview.
The future of America is not going to be decided in the sands of the Middle East.
The future of America is going to be decided right here within our own borders.
And what kind of country, what kind of nation are we going to be?
Are we going to continue to allow our leaders to essentially run a proxy war by using the Mexican drug cartels against the people who actually live here?
Are we going to continue to allow them to sell us out by essentially changing the demographics of this country by importing the third world, claiming that they have the moral high ground?
Yeah.
Anyway, it's a fascinating interview.
Really appreciate it.
You know, he mentioned he's never seen anything like it, or he mentioned how the hurricane response to, the FEMA response to Hurricane Helene was just unbelievably bad.
We have some new reporting on that that we can share with you thanks to National File.
We're going to throw this up.
This is a big deal.
National File's ex-account reporting that leaked emails show that the Democrats conspired to slow down the response in North Carolina.
There's a whole thread about it, but it specifically has to do with Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina National file writing that they worked directly with the Democrat Governor Roy Cooper and his office to slow down disaster relief to Western North Carolina.
Now, I don't think it's...
Well, let's just read it.
Okay, so here we have the leaked emails.
Somebody named Cheryl Parkett.
Cheryl Parkett, Hurricane Helene disaster relief update.
Um...
She says, as many of you know, over the past several days, and read in Tunde's post, Hurricane Helene has caused devastating damage.
Thousands of homes have been destroyed.
Vast areas flooded.
There have been widespread power outages and tragically loss of life.
Full impact of the flooding, especially in western North Carolina, is still unfolding.
People are urgent.
Are in urgent need of medical and hygiene kits, food, water, temporary shelters as they navigate this challenging time.
Here's the highlighted part, though.
Let me scroll down here.
Actually, let's see.
You guys can't actually see this.
But we are coordinating all disaster response efforts through the governor's office.
And they have asked us to spread the following message.
Please do not travel to Western North Carolina to deliver donations.
Volunteer.
So we have this...
They're saying do not...
You know, this...
We've seen...
Countless testimonies of people saying, hey, we're being turned back.
We're being turned away.
They don't want volunteers.
Helicopters that are trying to rescue people, they're getting turned away.
Well, we have this same message, this same concept coming from Blue Cross Blue Shield saying, hey, do not deliver.
We don't want you to volunteer spontaneously is what it says right here.
Do we have another one?
Here's another email.
Somebody named Tunde Satunde.
Like you, I'm deeply troubled with the disaster.
You go down here.
I want to assure you that we are actively engaging on several fronts.
The ELT and leaders across our organization have been meeting all week, and we are following the governor's office's coordination.
So Blue Cross Blue Shield, following the governor's office's coordination and statewide response.
We, like them, want to make sure we get this right.
Do we have more?
Let's see.
The thread goes on.
Blue Cross Blue Shield is coordinating their relief effort in direct coordination with Cooper's office.
The Democrat response explicitly forbade volunteers from volunteering spontaneously.
Please do not travel to Western North Carolina for donations or volunteer spontaneously or bring home-cooked meals or view the devastation.
All volunteers should work directly with Volunteer NC and the Red Cross Disaster Action Team.
It goes on, the thread goes on, the Democrat-run Blue Cross Blue Shield response further restricted volunteer activities to the Red Cross and Volunteer NC, a government entity.
Then this other post, Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina fully acknowledged the reality that their chosen response was going to slow the effort down by four to six weeks, just in time for the election to wrap up.
This leaked email.
They're saying to donate through good works to support disaster relief efforts in Western North Carolina, such as volunteer rewards, props, and payroll donations.
Although these donations will take four to six weeks to be fully processed, There's still a great way to contribute to non-profits.
Also, through our partnership with the governor's office, Healthy Blue has been approved to deliver donations to the region.
So, they're doing all of this, but they're going through government.
Okay, this is actually huge.
Because you could say that, you know, according to this, it doesn't seem like it's actively malicious.
But they're saying, no, we're going to go through proper government channels.
We want to go through the government way to do this.
We don't want spontaneous volunteers.
We want it controlled.
And the actual help monetarily is going to take four to six weeks to actually reach these people.
Now, this goes really hand in glove with other national file reporting that I have seen, specifically talking about how, because of the disaster, some people are worried that North Carolina may, even though I know the polling is really good for Trump because of the way the federal government has handled the response, They're now saying, I mean, you've got less than 30 days and you've got people in North Carolina that are going to need to get to the polls.
Will they be able to get to the polls?
How many mail-in ballots were washed away and are floating down a river somewhere?
That's another thing, because I believe voting has already started before Hurricane Helene.
So that's another thing, and I think that's why we have this story here.
National file writing, U.S. Constitution allows North Carolina legislature to award electors to Donald Trump in 2024.
The U.S. Constitution gives the state legislatures the power and the duty to select the members of the electoral college so basically that the legislature could step up and do this in light of the fact that If you cannot administer a fair election,
and so there's a legitimate question to be had after the flooding, after the torrential rainfall, after the hurricane, after the destruction, can the state of North Carolina really administer with a straight face?
Can they tell you that we have administered a fair election?
And if the answer is no, if you can't actually do that because of the devastation, because roads have washed away, because bridges have washed away, because people are now using donkeys and old paths and mountain passes that they haven't used to ship goods and services since the 1800s, maybe the legislature of North Carolina needs to vote to go ahead and give these electors to President Donald Trump.
I mean, that's what would happen if the legislature voted.
There's precedent.
It's not just a theory.
This is a great piece about what the North Carolina legislature could do, how they do have the constitutional power to actually do this.
I don't know if they will.
But I will tell you, on that, Derek Evans...
Had this tweet back on the 9th, so yesterday.
He writes, breaking West Virginia, that's his home state, Derek Evans, former congressional candidate, West Virginia passed a resolution that we will not recognize the winner of the presidential election if the West Virginia Attorney General determines that fraud occurred in another state.
So they write that, let's see, the delegates, let's see, House Concurrent Resolution 203, requesting that the West Virginia legislature shall not recognize an illegitimate presidential election, whereas a constitutionally valid government only exists and endures when elections whereas a constitutionally valid government only exists and endures when elections are conducted in accordance with the applicable legal requirements and are free of violence and threats of violence, government manipulation, censorship, coercion, fraudulent voting, or manipulation of votes, election tabulation, and or election results by
or manipulation of votes, election tabulation, and or election results by any means whatsoever, and that whereas in the 2024 election cycle there have been to date two assassination attempts on the Republican nominee for president of the United States, while threats of assassination of the Republican nominees for president and vice president
while threats of assassination of the Republican nominees for president and vice president around the federal government under the current Democrat-led regime has utterly failed and continues to fail in a suspicious manner in its absolute duty to adequately protect the Republican nominee for president, and that whereas the Constitution
of the United States and the state of West Virginia require that only legal citizens may vote in the United States and West Virginia elections, and that there is abundant evidence that non-citizens have been and are being registered to vote in the national election of 2024, therefore be it resolved by the legislature of West Virginia that the sovereign Therefore, be it resolved by the legislature of West Virginia that the sovereign state of West Virginia declares it will not recognize an election for president if such election is enabled by illegal or fraudulent acts,
and be it further resolved that the state of West Virginia will not recognize any election of the Democrat and be it further resolved that the state of West Virginia will not recognize any election of the if the Republican presidential or vice presidential candidate is assassinated, seriously injured during an assassination attempt, incarcerated, de facto eliminated, or barred from the ballot in any states, or is the subject of legal actions that preclude their effective campaigning.
And it goes on.
That's interesting.
Now, speaking of the violent rhetoric that has obviously been going on for a long time concerning Donald Trump, we had this viral video going around X from the University of Kansas.
A University of Kansas professor by the name of Phil Lowcock Phil Lowcock says this.
Let's pipe this in here about Trump supporters.
Guys are smarter than girls.
You've got some serious problems.
That's what frustrates me.
There are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don't think females are smart enough to be president.
We could line all those guys up and shoot them.
They clearly don't understand the way the world works.
Did I say that?
Scratch that from the recording.
I don't want the dean hearing that I said that.
Well, that's a little too late for that, buddy.
So, yeah.
Should line people up and shoot them if they don't believe in female leadership.
If they don't believe in the gynocracy.
If they don't believe in feminism and they don't believe, obviously, in Kamala Harris.
By the way, there's plenty of people who have no problem with a female president.
I'm not one of them, but there are plenty of people who have no problem with a female president.
They just don't want this particular female president who is really...
Well, let's just say that she's owning all of the Biden decisions.
Well, if anything...
Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?
There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.
I'm Donald J. Trump and I approve this message.
So that was Kamala Harris on The View.
Owning the Biden record, and that's why Donald Trump is not going to debate her again.
Donald Trump posting this on Truth Social.
He says, I won the last two debates, one with Crooked Joe, the other with Lion Kamala.
I accepted the Fox News invitation to debate Kamala on September 4th, but she turned it down.
J.D. Vance easily won his debate with Tampon Tim Walls, who called himself a knucklehead.
I am also leading in the polls with the lead getting bigger by the day and leading in all the swing states.
The first thing a prize fighter does when he loses a fight is say that he demands a rematch.
It's very late in the process.
Voting has already begun.
There will be no rematch.
Besides, Kamala stated clearly yesterday that she would not do anything different than Joe Biden.
So there's nothing to debate.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump.
We also have CNN sounding the alarm I mentioned in the monologue before we were talking with Colonel Douglas McGregor earlier in the show.
So...
I mentioned in the monologue how there's polling that's starting to look better and better for President Trump.
The swing states are looking better and better for President Trump.
And Kamala's media blitz just completely failed.
And so this is how CNN is reported.
Pay attention to the actual lower third here on the screen.
CNN, for those of you listening, by the way, you can get the audio-only version of this program every single day over at Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
It actually reads, Harris is Tuesday.
Actually, hang on one second.
They change it here in a minute.
We have some new CNN reporting today about what is going on behind the scenes inside the Harris campaign and more broadly among Democrats who are growing more and more anxious about a 2016 Redux.
CNN's Priscilla Alvarez joins me now.
So they're worried about a 2016 redux where Trump wins.
And the lower third reads, Harris' campaign looks to avoid mistakes of 2016 Clinton campaign.
We were just joking here at the table that anxious Democrats happen on a day that ends in Y. But...
And now it changes.
Anxious Dems worry that nothing Harris does is moving the needle.
That's the real story here.
CNN reporting that Democrats are anxious and they're worrying that nothing Harris does.
As a matter of fact, you can make the argument, and I don't think they say this, but you can make the argument...
Every time she goes on a public appearance, whether it's the Call Her Daddy podcast that is a podcast there to teach women how to be professional whores, or whether she goes on Howard Stern, or whether she goes on Colbert, or whether she does 60 Minutes, it just gets worse and worse for her the more she speaks and the more she opens her mouth.
This is something that perhaps is warranted given the data that they're seeing.
The data that they are seeing has them worried.
That's the story out of CNN. The Democrats are panicking.
What will they do?
This is why, by the way, this is why I, you know, this is why we talked about the potential for, you know, like World War III. Or some other distraction, right?
Because I think things are kind of going off the rails.
This was actually really funny.
Speaking of election integrity, so National File says, Breaking, Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia got trolled the other day by conservative activists in Georgia.
It was at an event in Macon, and Governor Kemp cannot deny knowing that Georgia's elections are corrupt.
So there's this photo.
You've got these activists.
These are election integrity activists, and Brian Kemp doesn't know.
Brian Kemp really wants to shy away from anything that suggests that Georgia's election was stolen in 2020 or that machine voting is rigged or is not as secure as...
As he would like for people to believe.
So he's been very, very sensitive and he's pushed back against all of these allegations for the last four years.
Well, so these people are wearing these t-shirts, right?
If you know, you know.
And then a code.
A very weird, you know, what does that even mean?
And so that's what Brian Kemp asked.
What does your shirt mean?
And they just replied back.
It's Dominion's administrative password.
Kemp was silent.
So they're just letting you know that, hey, I mean, if we have the administrative password, who else has the administrative password?
Obviously, you would think they would change it from one election to the next, but the point is they're not secure.
That's the point they're raising, and they trolled them pretty good there.
I thought that was pretty funny.
What else do we have?
Okay, so there's also reporting...
This is how bad it is for Kamala.
There's also reporting that Joe Biden is continuing to purposely torpedo Kamala's campaign.
Kamala goes having this big...
Last week it happened where Kamala is having this big rally in Michigan.
I'm sure you've heard this, but Kamala's having this big rally in Michigan last week.
CNN is about to cut to the rally.
And then Joe Biden decides to go into the White House press briefing room for the first time in his entire administration to start taking questions from reporters.
So CNN has to go and cut to the actual sitting president of the United States.
And he totally distracts from Kamala, who was trying to take credit for the longshoreman strike that had recently ended.
Aaron McIntyre is saying, look, pulling a digital coup, which is what they did.
Nancy Pelosi even admitted that letter did not sound like Joe Biden.
The letter that they put out on Twitter saying Joe Biden was withdrawing from the race and it didn't even have his presidential seal and it didn't sound like Joe Biden.
Aaron McIntyre saying pulling a digital coup on a sitting president probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
So President Biden is asked by a reporter if Governor DeSantis needs to take Vice President Harris's call.
And he doesn't take the bait and instead he praises Governor DeSantis.
Mr.
Mr. President, does Governor DeSantis need to take Vice President Harris's calls?
All I can tell you is that I'm talking to Governor DeSantis.
He's been very gracious.
He's thanked me for all we've done.
He knows what we're doing, and I think that's important.
So, I mean, he could have gone political there, and instead he's totally, I mean, he doesn't even try to swing at the softball question to help out his vice president.
Really remarkable.
We're in remarkable days.
We really are.
Some very strange things going on.
Now, okay, to the Florida.
I've been urging you guys to pray.
We've been praying.
I've been praying.
My family, I know this audience has been praying for the people in the wake of Milton.
In the path of Milton, and it was bad.
There was damage.
There were tornadoes.
I understand the tornadoes were really a greater part, in many cases, of the damage than the actual hurricane because, according to some reports on X, the eye collapsed as it hit the coast.
So it was going to be a Category 5, and I think, did it make landfalls a Category 3?
Daniel Babylon on X. This is it.
The worst is over.
Praise God.
He has done this.
He answered our prayers.
Give glory to Him.
We also have the General on X. I was going through all these last night before I went to bed.
Breaking in a remarkable turn of events.
The eye of the storm has collapsed and Hurricane Milton has been downgraded to a Category 2.
So we had...
Look, I... There's no question in my mind that we should always pray continually and that prayer works.
There still is devastation.
There still is devastation.
And there's still people without power.
There's people that are going to need help.
All of that.
But it does, I will say this, it does seem, at least for now, that the damage is not nearly as bad as what people said it could have been.
You have this guy, they're calling Lieutenant Dan, who's gone viral, who said he was going to ride out the hurricane just hanging out in his boat, you know, at the harbor.
And he actually survived and is now, you know, people are actually donating and giving this guy money, going to give him a KIC account.
In other news, the New York Post is reporting something.
It's very, very strange.
There's a Georgia environmental official that was testifying at the Statehouse, and then after he testified, he died.
This is concerning the toxic biolab fire that happened right after Hurricane Helene had come through Georgia and devastated towns like Augusta.
A Georgia environmental official died after suddenly collapsing near the state capitol on Tuesday during a public meeting on last month's toxic chemical plant Inferno outside of Atlanta.
Kenny Johnson, the Rockdale County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor, testified alongside business owners and leaders about the BioLab chemical fire in Conyers, Georgia, about 25 miles outside of Atlanta.
And then shortly afterward, the 62-year-old collapsed and was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital where he died.
Now, it's important to note, and I believe they've even called an investigation, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating the death.
This Twitter account says, the man who was holding Biolab responsible for the toxic fire is dead.
Quote, and he said this in testimony.
We don't have time to get to it today.
I have asked for a federal criminal investigation twice.
The environmental official, Kenny Johnson, died after giving testimony.
Kenny said that nobody listened to his warning that the Biolab facility was going to explode.
So this idea that it was a malfunctioning sprinkler, that's all it was.
Interesting.
He said everyone in Rockdale County needs to go to the doctor to have their Blood checked.
And for context, East Palestine saw approximately 2 million pounds of chlorine burn.
Conyers has seen, he says it was 12 to 20 million pounds, and now he died suddenly, this environmental official.
We'll have more on this.
Unless I'm providentially hindered, ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow I will be in this chair wishing you a happy Friday.
Until then, God bless everybody out there, and we'll see you tomorrow.
