Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: Trump Shatters National Ukraine DELUSION, Zelenskyy is a DICTATOR
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Music. Music. Music.
Music. Music.
Music.
Thank you so much for being with us.
My name is Paul Harrell.
This is the Bill Silver Report.
We can't do the program without you watching every single day.
Happy Thursday to everybody out there.
I'm all thawed out.
We had not quite as much snow as we were supposed to get, but it was still enough to make the roads difficult to get to the studio yesterday.
So I was providentially entered, and I couldn't come in.
But we're back on the air now, and we've got a lot to get to.
I mean, I guess instead of coming into work yesterday, I spent most of the day, I guess, tweeting about Ukraine.
Donald Trump essentially shattering the delusion that this country has been under for the last four years, the last three years, I guess, when it comes to Ukraine, the war in Ukraine.
Not everybody's delusion is shattered.
I was in a Twitter argument recently with, well, it really wasn't an argument, but I got told that I was consuming Russian propaganda and that Vladimir Putin is evil incarnate.
Vladimir Putin, I'm told on X, is evil incarnate.
As somebody said, and we'll get to this post here in a minute, When people say that type of stuff, you know that you're really just arguing with the television.
Are you arguing with Fox News?
Are you arguing with MSNBC? American support for Ukraine, ladies and gentlemen, American Ukraine support was a PSYOP, or a psychological operation designed to play off our 1980s, Rocky IV, Red Dawn fear of the Soviet Union.
That's what the media did to this country.
Right on the heels of COVID, it really showed you that we really didn't learn anything.
Whereas everything the media was telling us about COVID, whether it was the severity, whether it was did it come from a lab, whether it was is remdesivir good for you, is ivermectin good for you, is hydroxychloroquine good for you, by the way, remdesivir very, very bad for you.
The other two actually worked.
It's therapeutics.
The point of the matter is we learned nothing because we just went from one PSYOP to the next PSYOP. The next PSYOP was Ukraine.
And that we have to support democracy.
We have to support Zelensky not even knowing some basic facts about this actor turned leader, turned global celebrity.
It's incredible how many people like me and others were saying through the Biden administration The things that we were saying about this conflict are now becoming mainstream because Donald Trump is speaking the truth of what we all knew but what very few people wanted to actually report because they were lying to the people,
because they exist to actively deceive the people in so many instances.
And so one of the ways that Donald Trump absolutely shattered This delusion, this spell that's been put on the country for the last three years is that yesterday he called and people were just sent into a complete frenzy when he called Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump calling Volodymyr Zelensky a dictator.
He wrote on Truth Social, think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump talked the United States of America into spending $350 billion to go into a war that couldn't be won.
Couldn't be won.
That never had to start, but a war that he, without the U.S., and Trump will never be able to settle.
The United States has spent over $200 billion more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back.
Why didn't sleepy Joe Biden demand equalization?
In that this war is far more important to Europe than it is to the U.S. We have a big beautiful ocean as separation.
On top of this, Zelensky admits that half, and he did, and we covered this, he has admitted on camera that half of the money we sent him is missing.
He refuses to have elections.
It's very low in Ukrainian polls.
Oh, and by the way, now there are polls.
Polling companies releasing polls showing that Zelensky's super popular.
There's just one problem.
Those companies are tied to USAID, and it's a complete hogwash.
Elon Musk even lamenting that people have figured out a way to game community notes in this area.
Zelensky admits that half of the money we sent is missing.
He refuses to have elections.
It's very low.
Now, what's incredible is Trump low-key told everybody this last week when he said, you know, His poll numbers are low, which was a reminder.
He didn't say anything about elections last week or anything about Zelensky being a dictator, but it was kind of a soft, subtle dig saying, you haven't had elections.
Your poll numbers are low.
At some point, in the midst of all this death and carnage, you've got to check in with the people and see if they're still okay with your leadership, buddy.
But of course, American warmongers and neocons, they don't care anything about democracy for other countries, right?
We literally have sent...
We'll talk about that here in just a minute.
About a million people have died.
A million people have died because Russia is evil incarnate, we're told.
He goes on...
And here it is.
He refuses to have elections, is very low in Ukrainian polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden like a fiddle.
A dictator without elections.
Zelensky better move fast, or...
He's not going to have a country left.
In the meantime, we're successfully negotiating an end to the war with Russia, something all that meant only Trump and the Trump administration can do.
Biden never tried.
Europe has failed to bring peace.
And Zelensky probably wants to keep the gravy train going.
I love Ukraine, but Zelensky has done a terrible job.
Now, again, this whipped up everybody into a frenzy, an absolute frenzy.
Derek Evans reporting this, that in response to that, Mississippi United States Senator Roger Wicker, while we're in the midst of trying to make peace, Roger Wicker says that Vladimir Putin should be executed.
These negotiations?
No.
Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed.
Trump thinks that he wants peace, that Putin wants peace.
Oh my goodness.
Well, I read a pamphlet...
Sorry.
We're going to get thermonuclear boomer-sided.
The whole world is going to get thermonuclear boomer-sided.
So when I saw this, this is what I thought of that Independence Day.
While we're trying to negotiate peace, or Trump is, you've got this guy.
This is from Independence Day, by the way.
There will be no peace.
It's ridiculous.
So this is what I reminded everybody.
The other day, which was news to me, honestly, I heard it from Scott Ritter over on Redacted, that Ukraine Zelensky is an actor who starred in a TV show.
Did you know this?
Starred in a TV show called Servant of the People.
The plot is about a history teacher who suddenly finds himself as the president of Ukraine.
This was another psychological operation conducted against the Ukrainian people to make Zelensky a palatable choice for real electoral politics.
He won his election, but his popularity quickly tanked.
Then Russia invaded and Zelensky canceled elections, banned opposition political parties, we don't talk about that, and then banned journalism because he took over.
There's only one centralized state-run news agency.
And yet his initial introduction to the people of Ukraine was as an actor playing a part in a TV show called Servant of the People, What a Sick Joke.
And this is when somebody named Gordy on X says, reading Kremlin propaganda again, what would Jesus do?
Definitely not now down.
I'm assuming he meant bow down.
Definitely not bow down to evil incarnate, a.k.a.
Putin.
So this is literally what some people think.
They literally believe the 1980s, Rocky IV, Red Dawn fears.
They're influenced by that.
And this is where I said, am I arguing with Fox News or MSNBC? I'm actually arguing with the television, which is what somebody said.
Here is Trump on Zelensky.
I like him personally, but I don't care about...
I don't care about...
We're talking about facts here.
We're talking about death and carnage and needing to end the war.
And I like him personally.
He's fine.
But I don't care about personally.
I care about getting the job done.
You have leadership now that's allowed a war to go on that should have never even happened, even without the United States.
Look, we had a president who was grossly incompetent.
He had no idea what he was doing.
He said some very stupid things, like going in for portions and all the things.
He made a lot of bad statements, but he's grossly incompetent.
And I think everyone knew that.
This is something that should have never happened, would have never happened.
And I used to discuss it with Putin.
President Putin and I would talk about Ukraine.
It was the apple of his eye, I will tell you that.
But there was never a chance of him going in.
And I told him, you better not go in.
Don't go in.
Don't go in.
And he understood that.
He understood it fully.
So, again, this is not about personalities.
I like him personally, but I don't care about personality.
I care about getting a job done, meaning this is about ending death and slaughter and destruction.
And whatever part has been played.
By the way, before we go any further, just want to remind everybody, this portion of the Millstone Report brought to you by Red Vive Health.
Go to redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
Check out their red light panels.
More on the healing power of red light here in a moment.
But redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
So when it's all said and done, Jeff Younger says, Obama and Biden unnecessarily killed a million Ukrainians.
Trump will end it.
Think about that for a second.
With all of this talk, we can get into the why, where the bodies are buried, the money laundering depot that is Ukraine, the uniparty money laundering, the war mongers, the military industrial complex, any interest or whatever you want to call it.
Just look at the Lockheed Martin or whatever.
The fact of the matter is, all of these politicians that were for Ukraine knew Ukraine would never win.
They were engaging in a proxy war that Russia was always going to win, just by sheer numbers and military force.
And yet they didn't care.
While claiming to have the moral high ground, they knowingly sent hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to their death to prop up Western hegemony.
To keep this idea going that the United States and the West and Europe are what they wore 30 years ago, which is a joke, playing off of our warm feelings about NATO, which NATO was originally formed to protect Christian Europe from the godless communist Soviets.
Who are the godless communist Soviets now?
I mean...
Europe, I mean, they're godless, right?
We're right behind them.
I mean, we trans kids and call it healthcare.
Say that it's good for you.
Say that LGBTQ RSTL and E, would you like to buy a vow?
Lifestyles aren't only good, but preferable.
Who has the real moral high ground in these situations?
Here it is.
Do you have a message for Ukrainians, Donald Trump?
Do you have any message for Ukrainians who, after three years of fighting, might feel betrayed or disappointed at not having a seat at these initial talks in Saudi Arabia?
Well, I think I'm really disappointed in what's happened.
I've been watching this for three years.
It's a war that would have never happened if I was president.
And I've been watching these...
These, you know, people being killed at levels that you've rarely seen, not even close, since the Second World War.
And I'm very disappointed.
I hear that, you know, they're upset about not having a seat.
Well, they've had a seat for three years and a long time before that.
This could have been settled very easily.
Just a half-baked negotiator could have settled this years ago.
But they did not want to settle it.
That's the question.
And I know Trump probably knows that, but why didn't they want to settle it?
Why?
Why?
So, we have this.
Niall Ferguson believes that he has the moral high ground and is deciding to quote George H.W. Bush.
You know, thousand points of light in the State of the Union.
H.W. Bush.
This will not stand.
This will not stand.
This aggression in Kuwait.
Bringing up Kuwait.
This is what he said in August 5, 1990. Full quote from John Meacham's biography, Niall Ferguson writes, future history students will be asked why this stopped being the reaction of a Republican president to the invasion of a sovereign state by a dictator.
Again, evil incarnate is what these people think Putin represents.
Evil incarnate.
That's a strong...
You realize what that's saying?
It's essentially saying, like, Putin is Satan himself.
J.D. Vance, though, not having any of it.
And this is such a breath of fresh air.
He calls what Niall Ferguson is saying, moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say.
For three years, President Trump, he goes on, For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments.
First, the war wouldn't have started if President Trump was in office.
Second, that neither Europe nor the Biden administration nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to victory.
This was true three years ago.
It was true two years ago and it was true last year and it's true today.
That simple message right there.
It was not allowed to break the firewall, the blockade of the mainstream media in the United States to the average, let's just call our boomer Fox News viewer, obviously the left, they're all about war now.
I mean, you can't even get, we're going to set them aside.
That's kind of a lost cause.
But we're talking about, you know, 65 and plus that they were just like littered.
Their profile pics were just consumed with Ukrainian flags.
They bought into the PSYOP. They had no idea that this was ridiculous.
How ridiculous this war really was.
How many people have died for Lindsey Graham?
And for three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored, J.D. Vance says.
What is Nile's actual plan for Ukraine?
Another aid package?
Is he aware of the reality on the ground, of the numerical advantage of the Russians, of the depleted stock of the Europeans, or their even more depleted industrial base?
Instead, he quotes from a book about George H.W. Bush from a different historical period in a different conflict.
And then, listen to this, J.D. Vance, that's another currency of these people, reliance on irrelevant history.
Very good of him to say this.
Because this happens.
All the time.
President Trump is dealing with reality, which means dealing with facts.
And here are some facts.
Number one, while our Western European allies' security has benefited greatly from the generosity of the United States, they pursue domestic policies on migration and censorship that often, or excuse me, that offend the sensibilities of most Americans and defense policies that assume continued over-reliance.
Number two, Russians have a massive numerical advantage in manpower and weapons in Ukraine.
And that advantage will persist regardless of further Western aid packages.
Again, the aid is currently flowing.
Number three, the United States retains substantial leverage on both parties in the conflict.
Number four, ending the conflict requires talking to people involved in starting it and maintaining it.
Number five, the conflict has placed and continues to place stress on tools of American statecraft from military stockpiles to sanctions and much else.
We believe the continued conflict is bad for Russia, bad for Ukraine, and bad for Europe.
But most importantly, it is bad for the United States.
Given the above facts, we must pursue peace.
We must pursue it now.
President Trump ran on this.
He won on this.
He is right on this, and it is lazy, ahistorical nonsense to attack and appeasement every acknowledgement that America's interests must account for the realities of the conflict.
That interest, not moralisms or historical illiteracy, will guide President Trump's policies in the weeks to come, and thank God for that.
Vice President J.D. Vance, ladies and gentlemen, incredible.
Musk echoing this, saying that Vance is right on this, that Niall Ferguson offers no actual solution, because...
Besides continue the carnage that kills men every day for almost no change in borders, this conflict is heartless.
It's cruel.
A meat grinder feeding a money-graft machine.
Again, how many people on the far right, the distant right, alt-right, you know, whatever.
I don't know why I said that.
That term, we hadn't heard that in a while.
But anyway, how many people in those circles have been calling this a meat grinder for three years?
I think of people like Clayton Morris over at Redacted.
I think of people like Colonel Douglas McGregor.
I think of people like Scott Ritter who have been out there giving their version of what's going on.
And now in that version, it's seen facts.
Well, if you actually researched it, not what the mainstream media was saying.
But now it appears that there are people in positions of power in Washington that are agreeing with the situation on the ground, as reported, on alternative media outlets.
And it's such a breath of fresh air.
It's incredible.
But that's why you're seeing such a reaction again, because this is a spell that has been cast over these people for a very long time.
And speaking of one of the spell casters, you've got...
Congressman Dan Crenshaw, who went on the Piers Morgan Uncensored, and he and Glenn Greenwald got into it over what the reality is of the situation on the ground.
And Glenn Greenwald...
Really took Crenshaw to task here.
I just think we should save our fury about whether Ukraine get included or not.
Can I just assert a little bit of realism into the conversation?
Because I know Dan started off by saying, oh, Russia's this crappy little second-rate power.
We have to flatter them and make them think they matter, but they really don't.
They're really weak.
And we've heard that from day one, right?
Russia called it a special military operation.
We said, oh, that's propaganda.
This is war.
They're going to invade.
They're going to try to take Kiev.
And then the United States media said when Russia didn't do those things, they slowly, methodically fought.
We had stories initially like, oh, the technology in Russia.
They can't get their tanks to work.
Oh, they're this...
Crusty, you know, this crusty country that, you know, they've got technology that's, you know, barely functioning.
They haven't created anything new.
It's still all from the 60s and 70s and 80s.
That's what we were told.
Oh, the Russian military.
What an embarrassment.
They're not able to conquer Ukraine.
They should have conquered it way quicker.
That's what we were told.
The idea that there wasn't some other strategy involved.
And the idea that they have this inferior technology is not true.
See hypersonic missiles that they have and we don't have.
Contradiction to simultaneously say that and then at the same time warn that Russia is going to start invading Western Europe, this crappy little second-rate power.
But the reality is, this is the reality whether you like it or not.
Russia has fought a war now for three years against unified NATO and the United States, pouring hundreds of billions of dollars and highly sophisticated weapons into Ukraine, and the front line continues to move westward, not eastward, where the Russians are gaining more and more territory, more and more Ukrainians are being killed.
There are fewer Ukrainian men left in that country who want to fight.
They're being forcibly dragged in there and used as cannon fodder, or they're fleeing and risking their lives to do it.
The reality is Russia is winning the war or has won the war.
And you can say, oh, you must be a Kremlin agent to say that.
You just got to know nothing about military information or tactics.
That's what you have to do to say that.
You just have to know nothing.
It's clearly what you do.
I mean, you've got so many facts wrong, it's hard to know where to even start.
Oh, you think Ukraine is winning the war?
In which direction is the front line moved, Dan?
Has it moved westward or eastward?
It depends on what you're looking at.
It depends on what you're looking at.
I hate to break it to you, but it depends on what you're looking at.
And the ratios of Russian deaths to Ukrainian deaths, it's like four to one.
You just don't know what you're talking about.
You've never fought anything.
You don't know anything about the military.
I fought a lot of things.
Just because you were in the military doesn't make you an expert.
I'm sorry to say that Donald Trump is in the election based on rejecting...
Clearly, Russia is winning the war.
The Ukrainians don't even want to go and fight this war any longer.
They're fleeing the country.
It's a war of attrition with a stalemate.
That's what we're looking at right now.
That's the most honest way to look at it.
I'm sorry to say, one of the things that I know that you don't actually have to go join the military to understand is that Russia is many, many, many times larger than Ukraine.
And that's the reason why the most prescient geopolitical experts, people have been on this show, I've interviewed them many times, people like John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs and Stephen Wald, all said since 2022, Ukraine will inevitably lose this war and Russia will win it.
And I'll tell you why.
This is one point I want to make.
When President Obama was on his way out of office in 2016, Jeffrey Goldberg interviewed him for a cover story on the Obama foreign policy doctrine.
And he criticized Obama for not standing up to Russia in Syria and in Ukraine.
And what Obama said was the reality is Ukraine is and always has been and always will be a vital interest to Russia because it's right on the other side of the border.
And it has never been and never will be a vital interest to the United States.
So the idea that we're going to confront Russia or go to war with Russia over who governs various provinces in eastern Ukraine is absolute madness.
All right.
President Obama was absolutely right.
And President Trump thinks that, too.
All right.
So you saw Crenshaw there.
By the way, Crenshaw just, I know he seemed calm there, but I don't know.
It's something, I got a feeling he is not happy with the way things are going right now for his World view.
But Greenwald even cites pro-Ukrainian news agencies to support his point in a later tweet.
The Economist, which is all about the neocons and Ukraine against Russia, saying amid talk of ceasefire, Ukraine's front line is crumbling, which is what Glenn Greenwald was trying to say.
Dan Crenshaw, you don't know anything.
You've not been in the military.
Russian advances in Ukraine grew sevenfold in 2024 or so.
Russia's clearly winning.
Ukraine front could collapse as Russia gains.
Accelerate, experts warn, from the BBC. And then another one, their human resources are unlimited.
Russia's advances signal bleak spring for Ukrainians.
These are pro-Ukrainian news outlets that are saying what Glenn Greenwald is saying, and yet you don't know what you're talking about.
Again, there's still this commitment to this national spell.
That has been put over the West.
And then Marco Rubio is explaining in diplomatic talks, he's explaining that they're going to normalize.
We are now, you talk about heads exploding like Dan Crenshaw, like Lindsey Graham and others.
We are going to normalize diplomatic relations with Russia.
But ultimately the Russian side will be indispensable to this effort.
So that process will begin.
And then the third is, together with those other two, is beginning to engage in identifying the extraordinary opportunities that exist should this conflict come to an acceptable end, the credible opportunities that exist to partner with the Russians geopolitically on issues of common interest, and frankly economically on issues that hopefully will be good for the world and will also improve our relations in the long term between these two important countries. and frankly economically on issues that hopefully will be good
So if you kind of quiet your mind, you can hear, it's very faint, but you can hear Hillary Clinton screaming if you really listen for it.
Marco Rubio saying they're going to look for opportunities for the United States and Russia to work together once the war between Ukraine is over.
Absolutely incredible.
Douglas McGregor, Colonel McGregor, we're going to normalize relations with Russia, and frankly, whatever Zelensky says is irrelevant.
Scott Ritter, listen to this.
This is incredible.
Ritter has written for, you know, by the way, the FBI raided his home.
They kept him from flying to conferences.
They accused him of being a Russian agent.
The Biden administration paid the Ukrainian government $140 million a month to counter truth-tellers like me who were compensated $250 an article published over at Sputnik Russia Today.
$140 million to tell lies, countering $250 to tell the fact-based truth.
And then the FBI came after me as a Russian agent.
Do you remember that?
Scott Ritter got raided by the FBI. He says, it's about time America realizes the so-called mainstream media is as corrupt as the day is long, and outlets like RT and Sputnik are to be trusted over outlets like CNN, NBC, and others.
It's time to lift sanctions.
Let free speech ring.
Well, ring.
Or rain, I guess.
There is a kind of a...
Well, I mean, it's kind of a tough one to say just based on realities, but I mean, if you look at Europe has become...
A totalitarian police state in terms of speech online.
One might ask, seriously, and I don't know the answer to this.
I really don't.
Because, look, I mean, no government...
Vladimir Putin, while I don't believe he is the evil incarnate that somebody said...
No government is perfect.
No government is benign.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm not suggesting that there aren't motives and everything else, and everyone's going to do what they want to do for their own interests, and there's corruption everywhere.
I get it.
But it does occur to me, like, I don't know.
Honest question.
Are you more free to post your speech online in Russia than you are in Europe?
Or is it a stalemate?
Is it a wash?
Honest question.
And if it's a stalemate, what does that tell you about Europe?
And that tells you why J.D. Vance is saying, like, hey, we used to have the same values about speech, and you guys are cracking down on it.
We have this report that the Trump administration refuses to co-sponsor a United Nations resolution putting full support behind Ukraine's territorial integrity in condemning Russia.
I think that would hurt peace talks, don't you?
There's all of these efforts.
And look for false flags.
There's probably never been, throughout this whole conflict, never been a greater risk of a false flag.
I mean, maybe right before the election, they were trying to get everything into a quagmire.
Or maybe between the election and now.
Between the election and Donald Trump taking office, they were really trying to get this thing into some sort of quagmire where they were going to have to commit U.S. forces to where Donald Trump couldn't do anything once he got in office.
They were really trying to do that.
But now that peace is on the table, the idea of false flags has significantly increased.
I would say to blame Russia on some attack that Ukraine is really responsible for or the intel oligarchy or whoever.
Clandestine says the pro-Ukraine people are hilarious.
They have been monumentally wrong about every single thing non-stop from start to finish for three years, I'll add.
Yet they still have the audacity to parade their opinions around like they know what they're talking about.
The lack of self-awareness is wild.
You're exactly right, but they don't know.
This is why Boniface Option has a really good litmus test.
If someone has strong opinions about Ukraine but doesn't know about the Maidan coup of 2014, if they don't know who Victoria Nuland is, then you're having a conversation with the television and not a human being.
This is, I think, where we all...
This is a healthy place to land, right here.
This is the truth.
If you're talking, and this goes to everybody out there listening, you know, you go to your Sunday school.
I mean, I ran into somebody the other day, a 65 or older woman, you know, friend of my family and everything else, and definitely center right, but was alarmed at Elon Musk.
Or alarmed at, you know, oh, I'm right, but I'm not that far right.
And you just got to wonder, you know, seriously, I mean, I'm just, we didn't get into it, but there are these people, and I ran into another guy at the grocery store, older, older man, 65 plus, you know, real worried about the tariffs.
Real worried about whether this is economically viable.
You know what I mean?
And this guy, you know, voted for Trump.
These are people that voted for Trump, but are now, uh, and...
It's just so the propaganda machine is still working here, right?
So the idea of Trump, oh, I guarantee if I went to those two people and asked them about Trump being a dictator, they'd have a problem with it.
Or Trump calling Zelensky a dictator, they'd have a problem with it.
But do any of these people know who Victoria Nuland is?
And do any of these people know about the Maidan Revolution in 2014?
Do any of these people know what our government did to Ukraine in 2014?
And the truth is, if you don't know what our government did in 2014, and you don't have any opinion on it, and you don't know, then you don't really know how to speak intelligently on the geopolitical situation in the war in Ukraine today.
Because it's directly related to what Newland did in 2014. And I would even go a step further that what Nuland did in 2014 is directly related to what Vladimir Putin did in his own country in 2013 when he passed an anti-LGBTQ propaganda law.
Can't do that because that goes against the agenda of the globalists, which is there are no sexual norms.
We want sexual debauchery.
We want every form of wickedness under the sun, which leads to, drumroll, Transing children and calling it health care.
I can tell you one thing they don't do in Russia.
They don't trans children.
They don't have the argument.
They don't trans kids and have a debate about, oh, it's good for them.
This is health care.
They don't abuse children and call it health care in Russia.
I can promise you that.
So the fight is over a lot of stuff in Ukraine.
It is.
Resources.
Natural resources, minerals, but it's also distinctly over worldviews.
Just so you know, it is also over what sins will be promoted versus tolerated.
And there is a difference.
There is a difference.
All right, so Elon Musk, the President's instincts on Ukraine are absolutely right.
It is really sad that so many parents have lost their sons, so many sons, their fathers in a pointless war.
Wow, man, this hour's gone by so quick.
It's incredible.
Before we go any further, I want to tell you about Red Vive Health, redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
That's redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
We're talking about the healing power of light.
We're talking about red light therapy for your health and these incredible panels that you can get.
The Red Vive 60 or the Red Vive 300. They have 0% financing.
You need to check this out.
We're talking about red and near-infrared light.
Those are two different wavelengths.
So if you do any research about red light panels, you'll find that there are some red light panels out there that you can buy that only are just red light.
That's it.
And you think, oh, wow!
I got my red light.
But if you're not getting the near-infrared light, you're not really getting the benefits of red light.
You need these two wavelengths.
Now, these two wavelengths are actually naturally emitted by the sun, but these red light panels from Red Vive give you targeted doses of these two different lights on the spectrum, which, one, the red light leads to enhanced skin health, collagen production, anti-aging.
And then you've got the other, the near-infrared, is going to actually penetrate deeper into the body, reaching your bones, muscles, tissues, and organs, and your cells.
So we're talking about your mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, if you remember your biology class, what makes cellular respiration possible.
And this is a way to essentially give your body a cellular workout.
Give your body a workout and therapy at the cellular level, according to me.
I love the therapy.
I love the red light.
The energy that you get from it is incredible.
I want to say one thing while I'm talking about Red Vive.
I have had an inner ear problem.
It just kind of goes on and off, on and off.
For like, I don't know, it's like a year and a half, two years.
Sometimes, you know, the weather, it's just, I got sick.
I don't know what it was.
I went on a trip, I got sick, and for whatever reason, my ear has never quite been the same.
You know what I mean?
Haven't lost any hearing, praise God.
I've been checked out.
Doctors say, well, we can see that, you know, one eardrum is tighter than the other, but there's nothing we can do.
There's nothing we can do about your loose eardrum.
I'm like, okay, thanks.
I mean, they wanted to provide, they prescribed for me, you know, the non-systemic steroidal nose sprays or whatever is what they tried to give me and whatever.
What I can say is not only am I getting energy from the red vibe, I'm telling you, I put my ear up to this thing and it makes a huge difference.
And I've been doing this now.
I've had the red light for three or four weeks, but recently I've been really targeting this red light therapy dose on this left part of my ear.
And I'm telling you, there's a huge difference.
And when I don't do it, I notice it.
I notice, okay, I haven't done this.
So I think there's so many applications.
Let's say this.
There's so many applications for this.
This is the future.
And if you're interested at all in what this can do to some of your chronic pain or chronic health issues, I want you to just consider it.
Do some research.
And when you decide to buy, buy at Red Vive.
The website's right there, redvivehealth.org.
Use that link, please, because you'll help support the show and keep us on the air.
Redvivehealth.org.
All right, back to this.
I've got so many more things to say about all of this.
So we've got Rand Paul, who has essentially issued sort of an apology.
You know, he didn't give a full-throated endorsement of Trump when he was running for office.
He resisted an enthusiastic endorsement of Trump.
He says, but now I'm amazed by the Trump cabinet, many of whom I would have picked.
He says, I love the message to the Ukrainian warmongers, and along with his Doge initiative shows I was wrong to withhold my endorsement.
What a respectful way to say, you know, apologize.
So today, admittedly, A little tardy.
I give Donald Trump my enthusiastic endorsement.
So people are coming around.
Clayton Morris from Redacted is reminding everybody.
So when Donald Trump says...
Who is it?
Was it Guy Benson?
Who is it that gets so upset?
Yeah, Guy Benson.
Really upset.
Really upset.
Oh, Guy Benson.
He's upset that Donald Trump talks about...
How Ukraine started the war.
Listen to this.
And I think I have the power to end this war.
And I think it's going very well.
But today I heard, oh, we weren't invited.
Well, you've been there for three years.
You should have ended it three years.
You should have never started it.
You could have made a deal.
I could have made a deal for Ukraine.
You should have never started it.
So this makes people like Guy Benson so upset, so mad, or so frustrated.
Well, here is liberal and neocon.
I'm sorry, Clayton Moore says, where was the liberal and neocon outrage when NATO head Jens Stoltenberg confirmed the Ukraine war started in 2014 after the CIA-backed coup?
It didn't start in February last year.
The war started in 2014. And since 2014, NATO allies have provided support to Ukraine with training, with equipment, so the Ukrainian armed forces were much stronger.
And so, but they used those forces that NATO supplied to Ukraine to shell, murder, and maim the provinces of eastern Ukraine that are ethnically Russian.
And they don't like this.
I saw a map breakdown that...
Yanukovych, who was the president that Ukraine elected in 2014 that Victoria Nuland didn't like and had deposed, Yanukovych was elected because of the voting bloc of the provinces in eastern Ukraine.
They wanted that guy.
The West didn't want that guy, and so he got deposed.
And then those eastern provinces were shelled and targeted by their own people.
For 10 years, they've essentially been at war.
Basically, there's been a civil war in Ukraine, you could say, of sorts, for 10 years.
And the average American watching their TV on Fox News doesn't know any of this.
So where was the outrage then?
By the way, you can't make this up.
Clayton Morris reporting that he did some digging this morning.
Turns out that the Ukrainian organization that says Zelensky has a 57% approval rating is called the Kiev International Institute of Sociology and just so happens to be a partner of USAID. Guy Benson also in his outrage.
Ukraine should have never started the war.
Pardon?
Russia invaded Ukraine.
Again, Clayton Morris, wow, maybe you don't know your history and the CIA-backed coup that led to the genocide in the Donbass.
These are these provinces in eastern Ukraine.
In eastern Ukraine, Trump is right.
Ukraine and the CIA should have never started this war, killing innocent civilians on their way to school.
There are so many things, so many stories, so many attacks, so much death that you and I, as Americans, have never heard about.
Because the media didn't want us to.
Also, likewise, remember, this is now our Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
This is a throwback to when she was exposing what was really going on in Ukraine.
Here is something that the political establishment and propaganda media don't want you to know.
Ukraine's President Zelensky has just banned yet another political opposition party, one that questioned his legitimacy as president, and used Ukraine's Department of Justice to mandate the seizure of this party's members' assets.
Now, this is just the latest of Zelensky's actions.
So that sounds like what a dictator does.
That sounds like what a dictator does.
And it's really funny.
One of the reasons why Trump calling Zelensky a dictator is so triggering to so many people is because there's so many fans.
Democrats love Zelensky.
Remember this?
This is when Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, met with, you know, really basically campaigned against Trump.
He came over here right before the election to sign bombs that were going to Ukraine.
Zelensky and Josh Shapiro.
You don't think Trump remembers that?
Of course he does.
But here we go again.
We got Mark Levin, the talk radio host, Mark Levin, right?
Here's a question.
When will Russia hold a real election?
So we're having all this talk.
So Trump has been low-key reminding everyone that Putin's a dictator.
Before he came out and outright called him a dictator yesterday, last week again, he's been low-key saying, I don't think, you know, Zelensky...
He's very popular.
Everybody, you know, well, you're going to give Zelensky a seat at the table?
Well, I mean, I'm not sure he's really popular.
You know, he's got like a 4% approval rating, and that's all he said.
I was like, wait a second.
That's right.
The people of Ukraine at some point, if we're talking about democracy, the people of Ukraine at some point have got to decide who their leader's going to be.
Like, I mean, has anyone checked in with the people of Ukraine?
Has anyone checked in to see if, I don't know, they have given their consent to be governed by Zelensky?
And then this week he comes out and just says it.
He's a dictator.
So, Mark Levin is on the job.
Mark Levin's got to remind us, well, Vladimir Putin, he doesn't have elections.
Or if he does, those elections are rigged.
Putin's the dictator.
Putin is the evil incarnate, as that one person on X called him.
Evil incarnate.
Incredible.
And so Levin is saying here that Russia or Putin disappears their political opponents.
And, again, there's so many lies out there.
Clayton Moore says, which opponents disappeared?
Please don't say Navalny.
Remember Navalny?
Remember this guy?
The media, the Western media, went crazy when Navalny died, saying that Putin had him killed.
He was an opposition political candidate, and Putin, he had all this popularity.
But then it later came out that, no, in fact, Nalvini was not a political opponent.
He was a CIA-backed criminal.
He was a CIA asset in-country.
You know, like Zelensky.
All this talk about, you're going to protect the sovereign borders.
The United States doesn't care about the sovereignty of Ukraine.
It only wants Ukraine...
Well, at least, let's just say the intel oligarch is now Trump's president.
They don't care about that.
They want puppets.
They want puppets.
Putin allegedly announces that Russia and the United States have officially agreed to restore diplomatic relations.
This is a big deal.
There's just subtitles there, so we're not going to listen to Russian.
We don't understand Russian.
All the right people are upset about what's going on.
Again, Dan Crenshaw and people like John Bolton just responded to Trump calling out Zelensky a dictator.
Trump's characterization of Zelensky, he says, and Ukraine are some of the most shameful remarks ever made by a U.S. president.
All the right people are clearly upset.
And then D.C. Drano.
This is a good little list if you want any proof with your friends.
Zelensky a dictator?
Well, he's into his sixth year of a five-year term.
He declared martial law.
He banned 11 political parties.
He passed a law in 2022 to censor journalists and combined all news stations into one government station.
Journalists investigating his corruption get conscripted and thrown in the front lines to die.
Even Saddam Hussein held elections.
And I'm thinking right now of Gonzalo Lira.
Gonzalo Lira was a United States citizen.
And essentially was thrown in a Ukrainian jail cell and died.
He's dead now.
Gonzalo Lira, a journalist, reporting the truth to the international community, and he died in a Ukrainian jail cell under suspicious circumstances.
Vance is warning Zelensky he's going to regret publicly bad-mouthing Trump, which he's done plenty of.
Marco Rubio talking with Mike Waltz.
Talking about how this entire conversation has now been shifted.
We're going to skip through.
A lot of people are starting to look at...
Zelensky, and they're once again suggesting that this man is an addict with a serious drug problem.
Let me just look at this.
Little twitches.
Little sniffs.
Maybe he's just exhaustive.
Exhausted.
Somebody named Olga on X, though, claims that they've worked with recovering drug addicts for many years in the past.
Anyone who says that Zelensky doesn't have a problem with substance abuse has no freaking clue.
Also clandestine, Zelensky is visibly high, he writes on MSNBC. Do you agree with that?
Watch.
Mr. Brother, I just returned from several areas along the front line, in the south and in the east, and soldiers there told me...
They have to ration their ammunition.
They don't have enough weapons to advance.
They can only defend themselves.
In some cases, they're losing territory.
What happens to your country if this American aid doesn't arrive?
We will lose a lot of people.
We will lose territories.
Mr President.
I mean, I don't know.
I hear the reports out there that he's a drug addict.
I don't know.
I haven't been around a lot of people in my life on drugs.
But there are at least some that claim Zelensky looks high.
He looks high sometimes.
I don't know.
You tell me.
Folks, we're going to take a quick break.
We're going to be back here in 50 seconds.
We're going to listen to our friend Carlos Cortez tell you about Cortez Wealth Management back here in just a moment.
You probably clicked this link because you don't trust the stock market.
You know that it's manipulated.
You know it's rigged for the big banks.
You know that you can be financially inoculated with everything that's going on.
And the reason why you're here is because you might have some FUD. Fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Fearful because you don't know what's going on.
Uncertainty because there's no one to talk to.
And doubtful because there's no plan on what is about to come.
But one thing when it comes to retirement planning, if you don't have a game plan for whatever is about to come, I hope I can hear from you.
and let's just have a conversation to see if this strategy works for you.
All right, welcome back.
And remember, when you call Carlos Cortez or you go to the website, make sure you – or you email him, make sure you mention my name, Paul, so that you get special treatment.
How about that?
And it'll also roll into supporting the program if you decide to move forward with their America First retirement and investment strategies.
We would very much appreciate that.
Okay, so back to, real quick, as we wind things down here, I can't believe this has gone on.
I mean, this hour has flown by today.
What does the country think?
According to Rasmussen, which, by the way, is a company that doesn't receive USAID money, unlike its competitors, we have found out.
Mark Mitchell, it happened 48% of U.S. likely voters think America is headed in the right direction.
The number has never been higher in Rasmussen report history.
The American people...
Are becoming more optimistic about the direction of the country, which actually suggests that any polling out there suggesting that people are down on Elon Musk is wrong.
This, though, is incredibly...
This is remarkable.
It's scary.
It's sad.
We don't ever want anyone to take their own life.
But we do have to make note of this.
I mean...
These Google trends are for real.
So within the District of Columbia, over the last 30 days, searches for suicide have skyrocketed.
Now, we also have other searches that have skyrocketed in the last 30 days.
Criminal lawyer is up.
Suicide, layoff, fraud.
We also have how to bleach bit or wipe your iPhone is up.
We have people searching for shredders to shred their documents.
Those search terms are up in the District of Columbia over the last 30 days.
D.C., according to this evidence, is populated with people that are That believe themselves to be criminals.
That believe themselves open to criminal prosecution.
Let's just say that.
Which confirms what we're all saying.
Now, I mean, just take these trends and compare them with what Rasmussen is finding.
The majority of Americans are getting happier and they think in the highest poll they've ever done, they think the country's moving in the right direction and everything is going to hell in D.C. The opinions of the people that live in D.C. are they're terrified?
What does that tell you?
It tells you that the interests of Washington, D.C. and the interests of the American people are at odds with one another.
And when we are happy, they are sad.
And when they are happy, we are sad.
That's what it tells me, anyway.
Trump signs an executive order to end all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens and abolish the subsidization of open borders.
This is fantastic news.
It's excellent news.
I've got a lot of other stuff to get to, but we're out of time.
I will say this.
Out of all the great stuff that is happening, personally, me as a Christian, me as somebody that believes that life begins at conception, I will say this is the worst thing that Trump has done in his first 30 days.
He signed this executive order expanding IVF. Lila Rose pointing out only 7% of human embryos created via IVF will result in a live birth.
93% of these lives are frozen indefinitely, miscarried or aborted.
And over a million embryos are frozen in the U.S. IVF is not pro-life.
And there's a lot of other we can talk about what Ben Zaislov has to say.
Well, I'm going to spend a little bit more time on this tomorrow, assuming some giant story doesn't break.
But yeah, this is...
I hate to end on a negative note, but to me, this is not what I support.
But at the same time, I also know that when Trump ran for re-election, this is one of the things he talked about.
And it was one of the reasons why...
I mean, it's one of the reasons when we had to kind of hold our nose.
A lot of people...
Let me just say this.
I didn't have to hold my nose and vote for Trump, but I did know there were things about him and about things that he was going to do that I totally, totally disagree with.
But then, again, 80% of the stuff I think is fantastic.
We'll talk more about that.
Let's have a discussion about that tomorrow.
And that's all the time that we have for this edition of the Millstone Report.
Really appreciate it.
Go ahead and follow me on X, at RealPaulHarrell.
That's at RealPaulHarrell.
And unless I am providentially hindered, I will see you here.
Be wishing you at 11 Central a happy Friday.
God bless everybody out there watching.
