| Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| This is the Millstone Report. | |
| My name is Paul Harrell, as always. | |
| We really appreciate you watching. | |
| Just know that we can't do the program without you. | |
| You know the drill. | |
| We've got a great show for you covering a bunch of stuff. | |
| Right now, I have been this morning watching. | |
| We've got the confirmation back in the Judiciary Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee. | |
| Pam Bondi, that process is now in recess. | |
| I've been watching that throughout the day. | |
| We also, over in the Foreign Relations Committee at the Senate, we've got Marco Rubio, you know, been nominated for Secretary of State. | |
| He's saying some interesting things, to say the least. | |
| So we'll get to some of that a little later in the program today. | |
| Also awaiting, we're going to have a special guest on earlier, or I guess later in the program, we're going to have a special guest on. | |
| Or at least we're scheduled to. | |
| Obviously, California is on fire. | |
| We've got Melissa O'Connor, who's a California resident. | |
| You can follow her on X, and we'll have all that information for you later. | |
| But she's going to remote in, and we're going to get kind of a California resident's take from everything that's going on. | |
| Essentially, the... | |
| The vast amount of California corruption, Gavin Newsom's California corruption, the prevailing opinion is, at the very least, this corruption has come home to roost. | |
| This is the reason why California is burning, because their officials just, quite frankly, do not care about the people they claim to serve. | |
| Now, we've talked about that a lot on this program. | |
| We look at Washington, D.C., or you look at other, maybe some state governments, what's going on in Texas right now is indicative of that. | |
| There are Republicans in Texas and a majority of Democrats, a minority of Republicans in the Texas House and a majority of Democrats partnered together to... | |
| Bypass the Republican caucuses, Speaker of the House candidate, and instead go with some rhino Republican once again. | |
| A lot of people are accrediting the Bush family still very much in control of what's going on in the state of Texas. | |
| But all of that to say, we have really a pandemic of elected officials that actually hate the people. | |
| They do not love the people. | |
| And so at a bare minimum, what's going on in California, at a bare minimum, there's a lot of other things you could get into. | |
| You could talk about how intentional the fires were or they were set up to fail with not having the water and the fire hydrants, but at the bare minimum, they have a government that actually hates the people. | |
| Now, they're obviously not going to admit that. | |
| that they're going to say that they love the people, but all intents and purposes, practically, when you get right down to the nuts and bolts, the result of their policies are policies that show that they actually hate the people that they claim to serve. | |
| So we're going to talk to Melissa O'Connor later in the program. | |
| I don't know exactly when. | |
| It may be at the bottom of the hour. | |
| It may be right before the end of the show, but we're going to get her take coming up here in just a minute. | |
| Right now, I believe the hearing of Pam Bondi, again, been nominated for attorney general, that proceeding is in recess, while right now you've got over in the Judiciary Committee Chris Murphy questioning Marco Rubio. | |
| But we're not going to get to any of that right now. | |
| This is the top of my list right here. | |
| This is incredible. | |
| The FDA has banned red dye number three. | |
| The FDA has banned red dye number three. | |
| New York Post, U.S. bans popular red dye from foods 35 years after it was banned in cosmetics. | |
| Now, that I did not know. | |
| I did not know that it was already banned from cosmetics. | |
| One second, I've got to send a message. | |
| I had no idea. | |
| Now, maybe many of you did. | |
| But not me. | |
| So here it is. | |
| Carly Stern writing, the FDA today has issued an order that will ban red number three from food products and ingested drugs. | |
| The dye, which was approved for use in 1907, has been banned in cosmetics and topical drugs since 1990 over evidence that it can cause cancer. | |
| Its use in food is already banned or restricted in Australia, Japan, and countries in the EU. Red dye number three is commonly found in candy, gum, cookies, including Brock's Candy Corn, Betty Crocker Sprinkles, and Strawberry Insure. | |
| And they say, why are they doing this? | |
| Because they're now saying that the FDA thinks that this red dye causes cancer. | |
| My question is, how do we make the American people whole? | |
| My question is, do we sue? | |
| How come this regulatory agency, again, kind of right in the vein of, we have a government that actually hates us. | |
| I think that, you know, there may be nowhere that that is more clear than in the bureaucratic state. | |
| These technocrats, these bureaucrats. | |
| That have been bought and paid for by the industries they're supposed to regulate as RFK. And by the way, this is happening right before RFK's confirmation hearing, although I know that's been delayed. | |
| This is happening before RFK can even get in there and start banning this stuff. | |
| Some people say, oh, Biden's trying to take credit. | |
| I don't know if that's the case because Biden's also trying to effectively ban cigarettes because he wants to ban nicotine. | |
| He's trying to ban nicotine from cigarettes, which would practically just ban cigarettes altogether. | |
| Of course, I've been... | |
| Looking and refreshing Robert Kennedy's Twitter page all morning. | |
| The last post was still December 27th, 2024, because I was wondering what he was going to say to this news, but you also have to understand you've got Donald Trump's chief of staff who has essentially... | |
| Susie Wiles has told all of Trump's nominees, no more social media posts until you get confirmed. | |
| So the question is, will Susie Wiles lift the embargo against Robert Kennedy Jr. in light of this news so he can comment and we can get his take? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I guess I'm not holding my breath. | |
| I'm not holding my breath. | |
| Red dye number three is commonly found in candy gum cookies. | |
| Food manufacturers will have until January 15, 2027. That's not nearly fast enough to remove it from all products. | |
| While makers have ingested drugs. | |
| Now think about this. | |
| You go buy any kind of children's medicine. | |
| In order to get it, you know, they've all got this red dye in it. | |
| Mucinex has red dye. | |
| If you want to get a dye-free Mucinex for your kids, you're going to pay an arm and a leg for, I think it's a free form or free from. | |
| Mucinex does make a dye-free, but, you know, which is essentially just Gwyfenisin, which, you know, loosens up your cough, congestion, mucus, that sort of thing. | |
| But it's very expensive. | |
| But if you look at something like... | |
| I don't know, even a Benadryl. | |
| I know there are dye-free Benadryls, but the thing is, these are common over-the-counter drugs. | |
| What this essentially means is, this is an admission, we have been poisoning our children. | |
| The FDA has allowed drug companies and pharmaceutical companies to poison our children with the drugs they take, With the candy they eat, and now they're admitting that they're getting rid of red dye number three because it causes cancer. | |
| Again, a government that hates us, a government that does not love us. | |
| Is it good that they've banned it? | |
| Absolutely. | |
| But they've known this. | |
| I mean, there's plenty of essential oil moms in the suburbs that have known this. | |
| That's why there are alternatives. | |
| That's why there are dye-free versions of these products. | |
| You know, for all the talk about how the Democrats are always for the poor, they were nowhere to be found here, in this instance, because let's be honest. | |
| If you're not educated to understand, hey, I think these chemicals or natural flavors or red dyes, and either red dye number 40, yellow, these are all on the table if RFK gets confirmed as well. | |
| They've got to go as well. | |
| Again, we're poisoning ourselves. | |
| We have a poison food supply. | |
| We have a poison drug supply. | |
| But your lower-income people that tend to be, it's a fact, not as well-educated, what's... | |
| What are they doing? | |
| They've been pumping their kids full of poison because they trust that, well, of course it's not. | |
| Why would they do that? | |
| Why would ourselves and our candy be chock full of red dyes that are giving kids cancer? | |
| And we haven't even talked about cleaning products. | |
| We haven't even talked about, by the way, I'm not slamming essential oil moms at all, by the way. | |
| There's a really funny t-shirt. | |
| It's like a white t-shirt. | |
| It looks like you've been shot. | |
| It's got bullet holes with blood dripping out. | |
| And it says, don't worry, my wife has an essential oil for that. | |
| So I say that in all good fun. | |
| But this all comes, according to the New York Post, from the Delaney Clause, which prohibits the FDA from authorizing any food or additive, or color additive, that has been found to cause cancer. | |
| The FDA is so late to the party on this. | |
| They are so behind the times. | |
| The FDA cannot authorize a food additive or color additive if it's been found to cause cancer in humans or animals, says Jim Jones. | |
| That's an unfortunate name. | |
| Says the FDA's Deputy Director for Human Foods. | |
| Let's all take the Kool-Aid, right? | |
| The move came in response to a petition from the Center for Science and Public Interest and 23 other organizations, which included data showing male lab rats exposed to high levels of red dye number three got cancer. | |
| However, the FDA noted that studies in humans and other animals did not show the same effect. | |
| Maybe they have to say that to prevent their complicit nature in all of this. | |
| Again, people have been screaming from the rooftops about this for a long time. | |
| Somebody has got to answer the question, because this is crazy to me. | |
| I had no idea. | |
| They've now banned red dye number three. | |
| I don't believe they've banned red dye 40 yet. | |
| Red dye number three, banned. | |
| But for 35 years, it's already been banned in cosmetics. | |
| So we don't want you to put this on your face, but we'll allow you to ingest it to where it gets distributed to your organs and your bloodstream. | |
| Absolutely insane. | |
| Absolutely insane. | |
| Sound off in the comments. | |
| Let me know what you think about this. | |
| RFK, I believe RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation hearings so far have been delayed. | |
| The reports are saying they're citing things like delayed... | |
| Ethics reports delayed FBI background checks, and this was the danger that I warned you about yesterday. | |
| You had the Breitbart News article talking about how Pete Hegseth's FBI background check came back unremarkable, really deflating the Democrat hopes yesterday where Pete Hegseth withstood the slings and arrows of the Democrats. | |
| I've got a few more highlights that I didn't get to because, of course, the hearing was going on live yesterday while we were on the program. | |
| That's a problem for me. | |
| It's a problem because you're going to have these Republicans, potentially rhino Republicans, that could say, well, I trusted the FBI background check on Hexeth, but if the FBI comes and tells me that Tulsi Gabbard is bad, oh wow, who can imagine a scenario where that would happen? | |
| Tulsi Gabbard, who isn't in line with the intel oligarchs. | |
| The director of national intelligence is a huge asset, by the way, to the intel oligarchs because they want the intelligence director, they want the director of national intelligence to lie to the president. | |
| Make no mistake, their opposition to Tulsi Gabbard as the director of national intelligence... | |
| It's because they need someone who will lie, actively deceive the President of the United States. | |
| So they want somebody that's on their team. | |
| So they've delayed that. | |
| So the danger with saying, well, the FBI background check was great. | |
| You shouldn't trust the FBI. I wish that headline had never been written over at Breitbart because it's just giving the enemy ammunition to use against us. | |
| Next week, three weeks from now, when the FBI says, well, you know, Robert Kennedy Jr., we don't know about him. | |
| Oh, you know, Tulsi Gabbard, the FBI, just the background check, we're very, very worried. | |
| She's an agent of Bashar al-Assad or an agent of Vladimir Putin because of her foreign policy positions. | |
| Don't think they won't do it. | |
| This is the same government. | |
| You know, the 50, you know, 50 intelligence agencies or 50 retired intelligence agents. | |
| Say that the Hunter Biden laptop is disinformation. | |
| We remember all of this. | |
| We're not idiots. | |
| But yet, we certainly are treated that way. | |
| Before we go any further, I want to tell you about Carlos Cortez and Cortez Wealth Management. | |
| There are a lot of places, as we've talked about in this program before, You can invest in the stock market. | |
| You can invest in traditional means to grow your retirement, to protect your retirement. | |
| Or you can decide not to fund companies that are owned by BlackRock or Vanguard or these other giant companies. | |
| No one really knows who owns them, although we know that they don't have the best interests of Americans at heart. | |
| They love ESG. They love DEI. If you want a consultation to know what your options are to where you can grow your retirement while at the same time not funding companies that hate you, I would recommend that you give Carlos Cortez a call at Cortez Wealth Management and just have a conversation. | |
| Right there on your screen, you see what is an America First retirement plan. | |
| Give him a call. | |
| Mention my name, 813-448-3446. | |
| Or you can visit cortezwm.com. | |
| Okay, back to... | |
| Back to this. | |
| Taxes. | |
| Wouldn't this be incredible? | |
| This would be absolutely insane. | |
| Donald Trump posts this to Truth Social. | |
| For far too long we have relied on taxing our great people using the Internal Revenue Service. | |
| Through soft and pathetically weak trade agreements, the American economy has delivered growth and prosperity. | |
| to the world while taxing ourselves. | |
| It is time for that to change. | |
| I am today announcing that I will create the External Revenue Service to collect our tariffs, duties, and all revenue that come from foreign sources. | |
| We will begin charging those that make money off of us with trade, and they will start paying, finally, their fair share. | |
| January 20, 2025, will be the birth date of the External Revenue Service Make America Great Again. | |
| So somebody on X, Autism Capital, writes, If Trump abolishes the IRS, there will be autistic sculptors who dedicate their entire lives to creating Michelangelo levels of work capturing Trump's majesty. | |
| I will say this. | |
| If the IRS were to be abolished, and the fact, by the way, that it's even being discussed, because it has been discussed. | |
| Trump has actually gone, in other public statements, gone more specific and said tariffs should replace the income. | |
| We used to not have an income tax, and we funded the federal government with tariffs. | |
| If that were to happen, I'm trying to think the biggest transfer of freedom back to the American people since the creation of the income tax in the early 20th century and the Federal Reserve and all of that. | |
| I mean, the point is arguable, but it would be if the federal income tax went away and all of a sudden, I mean, just think about it, all of a sudden, if the federal government, it was no longer the business of the federal government to pry into your life and claim that we, | |
| as citizens, owe them a report once a year telling them how much we think we owe and then sign our name to a document that essentially This is an affidavit swearing under penalty of perjury that this is what I think I owe you. | |
| So if there was a levy on taxes back in the day before the income tax, the federal government asked the states as sovereign entities, you owe us X amount of dollars, and then it was up to the states to collect the revenue how they saw fit, whether it was a sales tax or maybe a direct state income tax or whatever, but it was totally different. | |
| And yet, that's why I say it arguably would be the greatest transfer of freedom back to the people ever. | |
| There's other things out there, right, completely ending the Federal Reserve and everything else, but wow, just incredible. | |
| So after the hearings yesterday, anyway, I put that out there because I felt like we needed to. | |
| That's certainly something that's on my radar. | |
| It would be incredible if the entire IRS goes away. | |
| Um... | |
| Ivan Raiklin, after the Pete Hegseth hearings, Ivan Raiklin, a.k.a. | |
| otherwise known as the Deep State Marauder, he was in the hearing room yesterday. | |
| Also, afterwards, he caught up with a former Green Beret and MMA fighter, Tim Kennedy, and this was the exchange that the two of them had. | |
| Yeah, so, he's doing a quick video. | |
| What do you say to America? | |
| I think America already said everything, which was that they're demanding change. | |
| That's what was clearly conveyed by the voters. | |
| And now the agents of change are the people that were appointed and nominated. | |
| And so any form of resistance is the opposite. | |
| It's futile. | |
| It's not just futile, but it goes against this United States idea. | |
| United as in life. | |
| We're all agreeing with each other. | |
| The people clearly said, this is what we're asking. | |
| This is what we're demanding. | |
| We voted for change. | |
| So now we have to support these agents of change. | |
| One of the things that resonated with me the first time I saw something... | |
| I mean, you go back to George Washington, it's chiseled into the stone that you cannot set aside the citizen when we assume the soldier. | |
| and every single one of those citizens, these were bad Jews. | |
| They carved their existence in the wilderness. | |
| Like, I'm going to throw tea in the harbor, you kill one person in Boston. | |
| Cool, I'm going to kill every single one of you and kick you off the continent. | |
| So we have to get back to the individual responsibility of the individual being strong, and the military is a reflection of that. | |
| We've gotten weak, we've lost our focus, and it's time for the military to get back to what we do, which is winning wars. | |
| You know, what I really like about that is a focus on the actual genesis of America, which is obviously the American Revolution, which is disregarded, dismissed. | |
| We like to focus on 20th century wars instead of the war that really identifies who we are as a country. | |
| Here is Pete Hexeth. | |
| I've heard Ivan talk about this. | |
| The reason I front-loaded with Ivan here is because Ivan obviously, Green Beret, he's been outspoken against the people who were fired, who were dismissed from the military because they didn't want to take the clot shot. | |
| They didn't want to take an experimental vaccine. | |
| We didn't get to this portion of the hearing where Pete Hegseth says that this should have never happened. | |
| We haven't even talked about COVID. And the tens of thousands of service members who were kicked out because of an experimental vaccine in President Trump's Defense Department, they will be apologized to, they will be reinstituted with pay and rank. | |
| We haven't even talked about COVID. So that's a huge, I mean, what a 180 degree turn that is. | |
| And that's what I see with a lot of these appointments. | |
| Again, you don't have to agree with every single thing, every single policy. | |
| But it is incredible. | |
| I mean, you take Pam Bondi, for instance, right? | |
| Here is somebody that the media and the conventional wisdom, when she was down there defending Trump, arguing on his behalf during one of his impeachments, I can't remember which one it was, conventional wisdom would be like, okay, her legal career is over. | |
| I mean, whether he survives the impeachment or doesn't survive the impeachment, Pam Bondi's... | |
| Career's over because we're going to move on from Trump, move on from America first, move on from MAGA, and we're going to squash populism and make sure it's never a thing in the United States of America again. | |
| And yet now she's in the hearing, or they were at recess just a second ago, she's literally before the Judiciary Committee about to be the next Attorney General. | |
| Again, 180. We're going to purge the military. | |
| We're going to purge the military of independent thinkers who don't want to take an experimental vaccine. | |
| And now, Hexeth is saying, we're going to bring these people back and we're going to give them back pay. | |
| We're going to reinstate these people. | |
| That is a mercy from heaven, in my opinion. | |
| This was the best part of the hearing that we completely missed because we were on the air and we weren't watching it all live. | |
| But Senator Mark Wayne Mullen had had enough of the hypocrisy yesterday. | |
| I told you about Tim Kaine and how demonic Tim Kaine seemed to me when Tim Kaine was questioning Hegseth with this glee. | |
| He seemed like a sexual pervert. | |
| Just so happy to talk about Hegseth's affair or Hegseth's moral failings and sexual assault. | |
| He just... | |
| It was just seething as an accuser, right? | |
| In light of the fact that Hexeth had claimed Jesus Christ as his Lord and talked about how Jesus Christ remade him. | |
| You know, there's a lot of talk going about, talking about qualifications and then about us hiring him if we are the board, but there's a lot of senators here I wouldn't have on my board because there is no qualifications except your age and you've got to be living in the state and you're a citizen of the United States to be a senator. | |
| Other than the fact that we've got to convince a lot of people to vote for us. | |
| And then when we start talking about qualifications, if you're qualified for it, could the chairman tell me what the qualifications are for the Secretary of Defense? | |
| Mr. Chairman, could you tell me what the qualifications are for the Secretary of Defense? | |
| I'd be happy for you to do that. | |
| Let me read it for you. | |
| I was getting some advice from my second-in-command. | |
| Yeah, but I'm just making a point because there's a lot about qualifications. | |
| I think it's so hypocritical of senators, especially on the other side of the aisle, be talking about his qualifications, not going to lead the secretary or be the secretary of defense, and yet your qualifications aren't any better. | |
| You guys aren't any more qualified to be the senator than I'm qualified to be the senator, except we're lucky enough to be here. | |
| But let me read you what the qualifications of the Secretary of Defense is, because I googled it, and I googled it and went through a lot of different sites, and really it's hard to see, but in general, the U.S. Secretary of Defense position is filled by a civilian. | |
| That's it. | |
| If you have served in the U.S. Army forces, And I've been in the service for, you have to be retired for at least seven years, and Congress can weigh that. | |
| And then there's questions that the senator from Massachusetts brought up about serving on a board inside the military industry, and yet your own secretary that you all voted for, Secretary Austin, we had to vote on a waiver because he stepped off the board of Raytheon. | |
| But I guess that's okay because that's a Democrat, Secretary of Defense. | |
| He's talking about Pocahontas. | |
| But he's so quickly, forget about that. | |
| And then Senator Cain, or I guess I better use the senator from Virginia, starts bringing up the fact that what if you showed up drunk to your job? | |
| How many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night? | |
| Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign for their job? | |
| And don't tell me you haven't seen it because I know you have. | |
| And then how many senators do you know have got a divorce before cheating on their wives? | |
| Did you ask them to step down? | |
| No. | |
| But it's for show. | |
| You guys, make sure you make a big show and point out the hypocrisy because the man's made a mistake. | |
| And you want to sit there and say that he's not qualified? | |
| Give me a joke. | |
| It is so ridiculous that you guys hold yourself at this higher standard and you forget you've got a big plank in your eye. | |
| We've all made mistakes. | |
| I've made mistakes. | |
| And Jennifer, thank you for loving him through that mistake. | |
| Big plank in the eye. | |
| Yeah, that was good. | |
| The alcohol abuse was the thing that stood out to me. | |
| That's what I was thinking as Tim Kaine was going through. | |
| The Democrats now care about sexual ethics. | |
| The Democrats now care about morality. | |
| Based on what standards? | |
| Certainly not the God of the Bible. | |
| The Democrats now are super concerned about sexual norms when they're the party of the LGBTQRSTLNE. Would you like to buy a vow community? | |
| Enclave? | |
| Sorry. | |
| For those of you who are new to the program, I really try to not use the word LGBTQ community because it's a battle over the language. | |
| They're never going to call us a Christian community. | |
| Can you imagine the mainstream media being like, well, the Christian community today. | |
| No, because community is a positive word. | |
| Community has positive connotations to it. | |
| They'll call us Christian nationalists, Christian fascists, Christian extremists, fundamentalist Christians. | |
| They're never going to say, well, the fundamentalist gays and lesbians are out there. | |
| Well, the LGBTQ nationalists. | |
| Are out there drumming up a bunch of hate. | |
| They're never going to use that, so I apologize. | |
| But I thought that was probably one of the better exchanges yesterday that we missed. | |
| Also, the Jerusalem cross, they brought that up. | |
| But, yeah, Brian Sauve reminding us that this was really what Pete Hexeth was experiencing. | |
| Yes or no, did you get an audit? | |
| This is the example of the gynocracy. | |
| Also, this dumb and dumber scene. | |
| This was my favorite. | |
| Do not deny that you made those statements you have. | |
| We take the responsibility of standards very seriously, and we will work with you. | |
| I am equally distressed. | |
| You will not meet with me before this hearing. | |
| We could have covered... | |
| Oh, man, it's fantastic. | |
| Really, really good stuff. | |
| So, right now, Pam Bondi is in the confirmation process. | |
| So is Marco Rubio. | |
| There is a recess right now. | |
| I guess they're going to grab some lunch in the Senate Judiciary Committee right now. | |
| So, that's where Bondi... | |
| Bondi's been doing that all morning. | |
| Again, Marco Rubio is still ongoing in the Foreign Relations Committee. | |
| And we've got a few clips of that that I've pulled already from this morning. | |
| But, interestingly enough, I will say this. | |
| Marco Rubio saying that the Ukraine war must end. | |
| And he said, and this was shocking to me because this is the guy who went on CNN with a straight face and said that Russia blew up their own pipeline. | |
| Nobody believed it then. | |
| More and more people, well, maybe some people did. | |
| And a thinking person didn't believe it then. | |
| Nobody believes it now. | |
| Especially as we reported the other day, gas problems lost $6.9 billion inside of Russia. | |
| That's the Russian gas company that owned the Nord Stream. | |
| However, interesting in the hearing, Rubio says the Ukraine war must end, there must be peace, and he said this will require concessions from Ukraine. | |
| He said it would require concessions from Russia, but he also said Ukraine's going to have to give something up. | |
| And I'll tell you right now, one of the things Ukraine's going to give up is land. | |
| I think that is, there's no way Putin is going to... | |
| It's going to allow hundreds of thousands of Russians to die and not keep that land, especially the Donbass region, which wants to be Russian anyway. | |
| And it's been under attack since 2014 in the Maidan Revolution. | |
| Anyway, it's fascinating what's going on. | |
| Again, I don't trust Marco Rubio as far as I can throw him, but his opening statement was reflecting a more Trumpian foreign policy, which is not neocon. | |
| But anyway, you keep your friends close, you keep your enemies closer. | |
| If I were Trump, I would keep Marco Rubio on a very, very short leash. | |
| Okay, so let's switch gears here. | |
| We're going to talk about the fires that are going on in California. | |
| And in order to do that, we're going to join. | |
| As I was telling you earlier, we've got a special guest coming in. | |
| We've got somebody on the ground in California, a California resident who's been witnessing all of this. | |
| Her name is Melissa O'Connor, and she joins us now. | |
| Melissa, welcome to the Millstone Report. | |
| Thanks so much for your time. | |
| It looks like we have some technical difficulties. | |
| I'm not hearing Melissa. | |
| Okay. | |
| Now we got you. | |
| Yes, yes, yes, yes. | |
| I got you. | |
| Good morning, Paul. | |
| Yes. | |
| I know it's still morning where I'm in central time, but I know it's like 9.30 where you are. | |
| Tell us about these wildfires. | |
| I mean, what's your perspective here? | |
| Is it just total, you know, I think at the very least, as I was saying at the opening of the show, it's the corruption of California officials come home to roost. | |
| At the bare minimum, that's what this is. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| So, for context, I'm in San Diego County, so I'm about an hour and a half south of the fires. | |
| But this is hitting all over Southern California, and it is. | |
| Absolutely devastating. | |
| I mean, just from watching, you know, like here down in San Diego, we have our firefighters who are being deployed really all over from all over counties. | |
| They're going up north to help fight the fires for the next two weeks. | |
| So I have friends, husbands who have been deployed, and it's just, it's touching everybody. | |
| Okay, so... | |
| There's no water. | |
| We got no water in the fire hydrants. | |
| We've got people on video setting new fires, right? | |
| How much of this is, because, I mean, we still don't know. | |
| They've arrested some people. | |
| You think some people are being, you know, paid to make the problem worse? | |
| Or is it also potentially a homeless crisis and mental health crisis where people are like, oh, you know. | |
| California's on fire. | |
| Let's just go set more fires. | |
| You know, reports of putting gasoline in sewer systems. | |
| What are your thoughts? | |
| Oh my gosh. | |
| It's a perfect storm. | |
| So you kind of have to put all the cards on the table to understand what's happening in the state. | |
| But it is gross negligence from our leaders. | |
| And it is, after living under this tyranny, it's hard not to believe it's intentional. | |
| A great example is, let's take the Santa Ynez Reservoir for example. | |
| So that is the one, the reservoir that's south of Pacific Palisades was completely empty and is like under, they've outsourced the fixing of the reservoir to a third, like a third party. | |
| So that's what they do here. | |
| They spend so much of our money. | |
| Outsource all of our problems and then they can't take the blame. | |
| Everything is marked up. | |
| It's more expensive. | |
| It's not well-managed. | |
| There isn't follow-through. | |
| And we see that like with the homeless crisis and the migrant crisis. | |
| It's all self-created. | |
| Hundreds of millions of dollars is given to these government-created problems while citizens who are taxpaying and watching out for our communities and paying into this system that we have believed in for decades, it's failing us. | |
| I see here you posted this over on X. You said, and people follow Melissa for more updates, Melissa underscore N underscore CA. Based on this map of home values in Los Angeles County, a beachfront property in Malibu cost a little over $25,000 in the year 1960. Today, that would equal $265,000 accounting for inflation. | |
| Many California homeowners have held onto their house for decades and live in an area they could never afford to move back into. | |
| Similar to Lahaina. | |
| We, of course, remember the Maui Fire. | |
| What will be done for these families who are suddenly priced out of paradise? | |
| And so you see that there. | |
| And, Melissa, we played Gavin Newsom a couple of days ago talking about this Project 2028. Almost, you know, when life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade. | |
| Gavin Newsom, I'm sorry, he seems happy to have the lemons. | |
| The lemons seem to be part of a plan. | |
| Totally. | |
| I watch his interviews and he's giddy. | |
| Like, I mean, it's chilling. | |
| And so, just also to give you another behind-the-scenes picture of what's happening here, if you ask a liberal what's going on, their head has been in the sand. | |
| For years. | |
| And I used to be one of those people, so I'm really passionate about trying to reach people who are just totally checked out to the behind-the-scenes, like, coordinated plan that's happening in our country. | |
| But it's really, really bad in our state. | |
| And so, you know, what are the chances that three American towns would be leveled in two years? | |
| That's just chilling if you think about it. | |
| And as a people, we've been living under this trauma where we're just watching just tragedy after tragedy. | |
| And I think a lot of people have paralysis. | |
| But our governor, he's a total joke. | |
| He's money hungry. | |
| He has lost billions of dollars to, like I mentioned, the homeless crisis. | |
| The leadership here doesn't take care of the basics. | |
| It's simple. | |
| We have fire season every year. | |
| You should have a plan in place. | |
| As a parent, I have a plan in place for my kids. | |
| I have backup resources. | |
| That's my job. | |
| Do your job. | |
| And he's not doing his job. | |
| He's a total psychopath, in my opinion. | |
| So in your tweet, you mentioned the situation in Lahaina. | |
| After that, there were reports that Things were burning in Lahaina that really shouldn't have burned the way they did. | |
| Also, a lot of focus on the color blue. | |
| What I'm talking about is the idea of direct energy weapons. | |
| Some people think that that's what happened in Lahaina, that that was used to start the fire. | |
| And I've seen the devastation. | |
| In California now, in Los Angeles. | |
| Jay Leno even said, I think it was Leno, it looks like a nuclear bomb went off in some of these places. | |
| Do you suspect? | |
| Did you follow any of that? | |
| Is that too conspiratorial? | |
| If it was intentional, it might not have just been some random homeless person starting the fire. | |
| It could have been something more. | |
| What do you think? | |
| Well, I'll go as deep down the rabbit hole as you and your audience would allow me to. | |
| I mean, my personal belief after watching the last few years is all of this is intentional. | |
| It's absolutely coordinated. | |
| It's a perfect storm of negligence, of draining our resources, of sparks happening when we have high winds and budgets being cut. | |
| And, you know, we fired our I know personally some amazing firefighters in L.A. that lost their job over the mandates. | |
| Like they've been doing this to us in our military and our police and our department. | |
| So the infrastructure of our country and the state of California is just frail. | |
| It's like a frail bone. | |
| All you have to do is flick it and the whole thing just implodes. | |
| And so I have seen footage where there are things flying through the air parallel to the ground. | |
| I've seen that too. | |
| Yeah, I mean, I listen to people who are former military, and to me, I've been declaring like we're in a war. | |
| It's a fifth generation war. | |
| It's a war for your mind. | |
| But if you unplug from the brainwashing and you start looking for it, the evidence is overwhelming that all of this is intentional. | |
| It happened a week and a half before the inauguration. | |
| So like our leadership in our California legislature is totally hijacked. | |
| The recall, I also posted a lot of statistics on the recall of Gavin Newsom in 2021. I absolutely believe we recalled him. | |
| He refused to leave. | |
| We're being held hostage in this state. | |
| Like, he's a deep state player, and he hates Trump. | |
| So these people will never go down without a fight. | |
| And somebody like Newsom is... | |
| I mean, liberals will think I am totally nuts for saying this, but you may agree after watching this war, somebody like Newsom is gonna get his last punch in before Trump takes office. | |
| That's so obvious to me of the timing of this. | |
| Yeah, I mean, you very well could be right. | |
| We also have the motivation of a 15-minute city, right? | |
| I mean, that's immediately what people said with Maui. | |
| Now Los Angeles, right? | |
| I mean, people want to remake and get these agendas in and get people out of cars and essentially into places that after everything's built, 20 years, it'll look just like some sort of Soviet. | |
| We can go even more conspiratorial, which I'm totally fine doing with you, Melissa. | |
| We have allegations of human trafficking, allegations of maybe potentially destroying massive amounts of evidence, whether it be via tunnels. | |
| What are your thoughts on that? | |
| I mean, I look up a guy by the name of Fahim Muhammad, who's associated with Diddy. | |
| And the allegations that there was land owned right at the border by this man also facilitating potential human trafficking. | |
| What are your thoughts on all of that? | |
| Yeah, so my research over the last six months has identified that this is a network and you can unearth the... | |
| Signs of their connections. | |
| For example, Fahim Mohammed, who you just mentioned, owns border property. | |
| He's P. Diddy's head of security. | |
| And I have pictures on my ex-feed of Karen Bass, the mayor of L.A., visiting Leimert Park, which is in L.A. City. | |
| Yep, there's Fahim. | |
| And so Karen Bass has a picture with Fahim Mohammed. | |
| And if you've looked into the Black Belay, like they're all in it. | |
| It's Kamala. | |
| It's all the people who have endorsed her that refused to step down. | |
| And like since releasing this information about him and his involvement and all his businesses and his ties to Chicago and the Nation of Islam, I've had like LA officials. | |
| Come after me and call me a conspiracy theorist. | |
| I'm like, oh, man, you are just you're revealing yourself at this point. | |
| Like if I if this whole thing is a conspiracy, why is the information threatening to you? | |
| So I've had a lot of people come out of the woodwork that have just revealed their involvement. | |
| And I mean, Southern California, if you look at the. | |
| All the modes of transportation. | |
| Yep, there's Fahim Mohammed, P. Diddy's head of security, with L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. | |
| Make it make sense. | |
| That is fascinating. | |
| And Hillary Clinton making a special stop right outside Fahim's mom's store, which, you know, they may not have known her at the time. | |
| This is Anita Hill, who's visiting this famous artist, little art spot there in Lemur Park. | |
| She was the one that they used to target Clarence Thomas in the 90s with his Supreme Court Justice hearing. | |
| And there's Fahim Muhammad's mom, Queen Amina. | |
| And, you know, I've been digging into them. | |
| Her husband, who's no longer, her first husband, who's no longer alive, founded the mosque in L.A. for the Nation of Islam. | |
| So we're looking at... | |
| We're looking at a whole coordinated network here and they all back each other. | |
| I'd like to ask... | |
| Go ahead. | |
| Oh, sorry. | |
| My last little thought, watch this network and who's surrounding Diddy and watch for all the nice cars that they're being gifted. | |
| They're getting paid off as we speak. | |
| So just watch for that. | |
| Wow. | |
| Yeah, it's just really incredible, and that's why I wanted to have you on, too. | |
| I want everybody to follow you and your research. | |
| You're obviously looking into this and exposing what... | |
| If they're calling you a conspiracy theorist, well, then you know immediately at that point that you're right over the target. | |
| I don't want to get too personal, but you said that you used to kind of have your head in the sand, that you used to be a leftist. | |
| So did you have a red pill moment exactly? | |
| What was it? | |
| Absolutely. | |
| And I love talking about this. | |
| I've always been conservative in my values, but I totally bought into the, you know, virtue signaling of the left that like, oh, we're nice and we love people and we're the, I don't know, the more virtuous party, I guess. | |
| My red pill moment was kind of gradual. | |
| A decade ago when I started, my husband and I, we started our family and started having kids. | |
| I was introduced to, you know, Western medicine and the whole hospital system and pediatrics. | |
| And I was like, oh my gosh. | |
| And then some laws that were being passed here that deeply affected my family were unconstitutional and in terms of like medical free choice. | |
| A total violation. | |
| And so that was like my big red pill moment, but I didn't understand that these lies and this corruption flowed over into every area of our life. | |
| So I had never voted for Trump and leading up to the election, you know, like when he was deplatformed off of Twitter, I was shocked. | |
| It was like, how can you take a sitting president off of? | |
| Social media. | |
| That's crazy. | |
| And then when the Hunter Biden laptop information got suppressed, I was dumbfounded and I was pretty neutral at that point. | |
| And when I started sharing like how insane that was and all these people, you know, like came after me with their brainwashed robotic talking points, like it's Russian disinformation. | |
| It's just that I was like, holy cow, what is happening here? | |
| And so I watched Trump talk about election fraud. | |
| And honestly, I said a prayer. | |
| I said, God, show me what's happening. | |
| Like what's going on in this world? | |
| And he's just pulled the veil open and allowed me to see what we're really living through. | |
| It drills down. | |
| Every month that passes, he shows me more. | |
| Recently, I've had my eyes open to what's been happening in my backyard. | |
| It's very concerning. | |
| There's so much exposure and cleaning. | |
| San Diego County that needs to be done. | |
| I'm praying for it, and I want to be a part of it. | |
| But very scary people have had a hold on this region and have been doing very awful things for a long time. | |
| God bless you, and that's amazing. | |
| You said a prayer, Lord, show me the truth, and he then revealed more about what's really going on in the world around us, just how corrupt and evil things were. | |
| And that actually, honestly, what it does is drive you to the truth. | |
| I've said this many times. | |
| There are so many people who are waking up because of the presence of evil. | |
| Because they're able to identify, oh, this is wicked, right? | |
| We can't do this to kids and call it health care. | |
| We can't trans kids and call it health care. | |
| And so the whole New Age, pagan, truth is relative, you do you, once people realize, well, you can't do that, that's wrong and evil, then if there's evil that exists, then there must be truth as well, objective truth, right, that comes from the God of heaven. | |
| And that's just incredible. | |
| What you just said, though, really just mimics so many people. | |
| I've heard so many people that have stories just like yours. | |
| It's fascinating when you talk about how our party was the party of compassion. | |
| I used to, in college, consider myself that way. | |
| We have these evolved sensibilities. | |
| Almost like we think we're more compassionate than God himself. | |
| That's where a lot of that mentality leads, and that's where it comes from. | |
| I appreciate that story because I think, again, it mimics what's going on all across the country. | |
| I'll let you respond to that. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| I've watched here, just here throughout my county, I've gotten to know so many amazing people and beyond in Southern California. | |
| We've all found each other through this, you know, quest for understanding the reality we find ourselves in. | |
| And they've all been drawn. | |
| Their hearts have been changed and they have been. | |
| Totally drawn to their creator and it's been an amazing thing to watch happen. | |
| So, you know, people want Californians to fall into the ocean. | |
| No, you need to support us because we're here holding the line from this stuff that's trying to... | |
| Come and, like, breach us and go to all the other states. | |
| Like, you need to support your favorite Californian today because we're here blowing the whistle, and they're not stopping here. | |
| They're coming for you next. | |
| Yeah, well, and God bless you because, you know, there were some people, as California was burning, they're like, well, see, you know, this is what you get. | |
| But people forget there are Christians that still live in, you know, in dark. | |
| I live in Arkansas, which I affectionately refer to as the Shire. | |
| That's the way I feel. | |
| Yesterday, I was talking to a guy from Oregon. | |
| He lives in rural Oregon, where there, for lack of a better phrase, there are some good old boys in... | |
| In rural Oregon. | |
| I had a friend that celebrated the 4th of July in the state of Washington one time, and he said they were blowing up propane tanks, and it was the most country thing they've ever witnessed in their life. | |
| But we forget that, right? | |
| We forget that there are people there, there are Christians on the ground in these liberal hellholes, for lack of a better word, that are affected by these policies and are also trying to organize and fight, even though it may seem hopeless. | |
| Right? | |
| We forget that California, you know, did used to be a red state. | |
| So, anyway, is there any... | |
| What can we do? | |
| I mean, what can we do if you're in a Christian red state, as I call them? | |
| Is there anything we can do aside from just sharing and getting the word out? | |
| Yeah, I think what you're doing is everything. | |
| It's giving a voice to people who are here. | |
| And, you know, I don't really think our elections have been fully fair and secure here. | |
| So when people say, you get what you vote for, it's like, I don't think this is what people have been voting for. | |
| So just, you know, yeah, I appreciate the time and just to be a voice to say, like, some of the country's greatest patriots are in this state. | |
| And I believe San Diego itself is the lighthouse for the country. | |
| And we're going to show you like how bad it's been and how to get out of it. | |
| And you're just going to see some of the most beautiful things come out of this region. | |
| I just know it. | |
| I have a hope that cannot be dismayed or squashed by anything or anyone. | |
| That's amazing. | |
| I appreciate your optimism. | |
| Melissa O'Connor, follow her. | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, you see that. | |
| Melissa underscore N underscore CA on X. And if anything happens, you have a wide-open invitation to come back on this platform, and we'll get whatever information you have out to the masses. | |
| Thank you, Paul. | |
| I am so grateful. | |
| Thank you so much. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| God bless, Melissa. | |
| All right, folks. | |
| That was incredible. | |
| Again, I always love a red pill story, but the stuff that's going on in California right now is just the, again, a bare minimum. | |
| It's the corruption coming home to roost, but we talked about the other things too. | |
| You know, potential, how intentional all this was and everything else. | |
| So we're about out of time. | |
| But before we go, we're going to get to my favorite segment because I pulled another one for you and I can't help it because I just keep finding this. | |
| And let us confess our faith today in the words of the Sparkle Creed. | |
| I believe in the non-binary God. | |
| And now it's time for I'm Already Against Women Clergy. | |
| You don't have to convince me. | |
| Alright, so for this edition of I'm Already Against Women Clergy, you don't have to convince me. | |
| We go back to Protestia, which is another great follow on X. This is not a parody. | |
| They write, this is the United Church of Canada. | |
| Do we really want to make Canada a 51st state? | |
| This is the United Church of Canada engaging in one of the worst candle lighting ceremonies you'll ever see. | |
| So we have a couple of extra candles this morning to help center us in worship and in the world around us. | |
| Also, I think it's good practice for Advent, which is coming up in a couple of weeks, and we're going to have to be able to light more candles. | |
| So we always begin with the light of Christ, reminding us that God is always present in each one of us, between us, among us, and in all of creation. | |
| And we light the rainbow candle to remind us of sodomy. | |
| Of our commitment to be public, intentional, and explicit in our welcome of people of all genders and all sexual orientations. | |
| Meaning sodomy. | |
| And as we move towards Transgender Day of Remembrance this week, we particularly hold in our hearts people who are exploring gender, people who are struggling with gender, people who are celebrating gender. | |
| And people who are finding the true person within themselves that God calls each one of us to be. | |
| This has been I'm Already Against Women Clergy. | |
| You don't have to convince me. | |
| All right, that wraps things up for today. | |
| That's all the time I have on this edition of the Millstone Report. | |
| I want to thank everybody watching live on Ex-America News and everywhere else. | |
| We do appreciate you guys so much, and we will be back here tomorrow unless I'm providentially hindered. | |
| God bless everybody out there watching. |
