Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for being with us.
This is the Bill Stump Report.
As always, great to have you with us.
My name is Paul Harrell, and we get into the program without you watching every single day.
Top of the, I guess, the top story right now, will Ukraine and Russia end the war?
I had the announcement the other day, yesterday, or I guess late afternoon, Marco Rubio, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, emerged from, I'm assuming, a very nice plush building in Saudi Arabia.
Saying that the Ukrainians had agreed to, in theory, a 30-day ceasefire if the Russians get on board.
Of course, this also means, and I'm just going to cut right through it all, we're going to talk about it, you know, we're going to talk about this in great detail, but the Ukrainians want the weapons shipments coming back into Ukraine.
You know, Donald Trump has cut off the weapons shipments.
The Ukrainians have agreed to this potential 30-day ceasefire if Russia agrees, but Ukraine wants the weapons to keep coming into their country.
Which, if you're Russia, and this whole thing was about NATO encroachment or arming, putting weapons in Ukraine facing Russia, you've got to wonder, what are they going to do?
Are they going to accept the deal or not?
And we're going to wait and we're going to see.
Exactly what happens.
I would assume the Russians are going to have some sort of counter-proposal just to get to a ceasefire, not to actually end things.
But in the meantime, there are attacks in Moscow.
There are also attacks, and I read Zelensky's home city in Ukraine as well.
So a tit-for-tat right now.
So we're going to get to all of this.
Let's first go to...
Today, let's first go to...
One moment.
Yeah, here we go.
This is Marco Rubio from yesterday.
Let's get this, let's pipe this in here and we'll take a listen.
Today we made an offer that the Ukrainians have accepted, which is to enter into a ceasefire and into immediate negotiations to end this conflict in a way that's enduring and sustainable and accounts for their interests, their security, their ability to prosper as a nation.
I want to personally thank, we both want to thank the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, His Majesty, for hosting us, for making this possible.
They've been instrumental in this process, and we're very grateful to them for hosting us here today.
And hopefully we'll take this off for now to the Russians.
And we hope that they'll say yes, that they'll say yes to peace.
The ball is now in their court.
But again, the president's objective here is, number one, above everything else, he wants the war to end.
And I think today Ukraine has taken a concrete step in that regard.
We hope the Russians will reciprocate.
So you see what's happened over the last 10 days or so, I think, right?
You've got, you know, about 10 days ago, or let's just say two weeks, I can't remember exactly.
How long ago it was, but you've got Zelensky in the Oval Office essentially revealing himself to be an ungrateful, petulant child and extremely arrogant and ungrateful.
And the ball was very much in Zelensky's court.
This is why Trump suspended the weapons shipments.
This is why this guy just doesn't want peace.
He doesn't want peace.
He doesn't want to get to a ceasefire.
Doesn't want to sign the minerals deal, which I don't believe, from my knowledge, this alleged ceasefire has nothing to do with a mineral deal either.
There's a few red flags going on here.
One of them would be the fact that Lindsey Graham is all for this ceasefire all of a sudden.
Of course, I know he kind of threw Zelensky under the bus after that disastrous White House meeting, which was also very, very strange.
My question is, Is NATO really ready to take the L? And I don't think they are.
I don't think they are.
I don't think NATO is actually ready to take the loss.
I think they would love to get these headlines.
Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire, will the Russians, but then the deal is just...
Is the media going to tell the American people if this deal is in fact really bad for the Russians to where they won't?
Accept it.
And then the fighting continues, and once again, we have to carve through more and more propaganda, which, by the way, will only serve, say what you want to about how you feel about either side, that only serves to put more Ukrainians in the meat grinder.
I want you to know, and we're going to listen to some of this a little later in the show, or coming up here in just a minute.
Tucker Carlson had a fantastic interview with Colonel Douglas McGregor, who is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, and everyone in our government should listen to Colonel Douglas McGregor as far as I'm concerned.
Here's a guy who is a warfighter, or has been a warfighter, has been in combat, has killed people, and he knows what he's talking about.
He used to work at the Pentagon.
You know, we're told that it's kind of like this wash, this Russia-Ukraine, it's like a wash in terms of lives lost.
On the program with Tucker the other night, he says, according to his sources, that Ukrainians have lost 1.5 million people, as high as 1.5 million people, to the Russians' 90,000 to 120,000.
You want to talk about being lied to, the American media actively deceives the people of this country every single day.
Donald Trump yesterday after the announced potential ceasefire.
But very importantly, and I said it, Ukraine.
Ceasefire.
Ukraine.
Ceasefire.
Just agreed to a little while ago.
Now we have to go to Russia and hopefully President Putin will agree to that also.
And we can get this show on the road.
We can get this horrible war.
We're 2,000, 3,000.
Soldiers a week.
Every week, two, three, four thousand sometimes.
I get the reports.
And they're not American soldiers.
They're Ukrainian and they're Russian.
But people are being killed outside of that.
People are being killed in the cities as things explode throughout the cities.
And we want to get that war over with.
I mean, here's the deal.
The easiest way, and Colonel McGregor said this the other day, the easiest way to end the war is for the United States to stop sending the weapons and then to host a, you know, pull out any Americans that are there, pull out any of our intel oligarchy, the CIA, pull it all out, and then host talks with Europe and Russia, And redraw the lines, redraw the boundaries.
Something that everybody's comfortable with.
Obviously, you've got these eastern provinces in Ukraine.
This is just a fact.
They have voted for independence from Ukraine.
They have been attacked by their own government in what has been described as a genocide since 2014. And over here in America, none of us know that.
We don't know that NATO sponsoring Ukraine, you know, Has actually waged war against their own citizens, ethnic Russians that are in the boundaries of Ukraine for 10 years this has been going on.
Anyway, I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, I'm hoping for peace as well, but I'm also skeptical.
I'm skeptical that NATO is finally ready to take the L. I mean, I just don't put anything past him at this point.
The clandestine on X, who again was instrumental in exposing the bioweapons labs, the U.S.-funded bioweapons labs in Ukraine, that he said were there, and the U.S. government denied it, and then Victoria Nuland and Marco Rubio admitted it openly in committee a couple of weeks later after he got banned from X for saying the truth.
Then he was vindicated.
He writes, Vance speaks on the negotiations with Ukraine and Russia.
Okay, so this is from earlier today.
This is about 45 minutes ago.
Some conversations that are happening on the phone.
Well, we've got some conversations that are happening on the phone and in person with some of our representatives over the next couple of days.
As the president said, we think we're in a very good place where the Ukrainians have agreed to a ceasefire.
And we're now going to see whether we can get the Russians to agree to a ceasefire, too.
And we'll certainly have news on that when we point out the news.
This is still a negotiation.
Ukraine's agreed to ceasefire.
The Russians better do it.
Well, no.
Now there's got to be more negotiations.
There has to be, if this thing has any chance at all.
Folks, I want to remind you that this portion of the program brought to you by Red Vive Health, the great red light panels there.
We're going to tell you more about them in a minute.
In the meantime, if you want to, redvivehealth.org.
That's redvivehealth.org.
Here is more from Clandestine.
Over on X. He says, I'm extremely hesitant of this ceasefire proposal, and I strongly doubt Putin will accept it.
Zelensky, the EU, and Lindsey Graham are all in favor of it.
That tells me that foul play is afoot.
The deep state don't want this war to end.
They are up to something.
And again, we're going to find out.
I tend to agree with this, and I'll tell you why here in a minute.
But the basic thesis is this, these European leaders, the funding of Ukraine is a slush party, or is a slush fund for, call it the deep state or the international order, and I just, I have this feeling that these European countries are all getting these kickbacks as well so that they can subvert the will of their citizenry.
That's the long and the short of it.
And Colonel McGregor, In that interview with Tucker Carlson, he said that he thinks there's change on the horizon.
Essentially, I think sharing my same belief that the people in Europe are not actually being ruled by.
They don't really have.
They don't have the consent.
The leaders in Europe really don't have the consent of the governed right now.
It's a complete joke.
But so here's the tit for tat, right?
Jesse Kelly.
Freaking Russians just can't help themselves from being Russian.
Take the W, you morons.
This is from the headline that broke three hours ago.
The New York Post.
Russia launches deadly missile attack on Zelensky's hometown just hours after Ukraine agreed to ceasefire proposal.
Okay.
Well, why would they do that?
Why would the Russians do that?
Is there an actual report here?
Let me see.
Yeah.
This is just kind of some B-roll footage, I guess.
Allegedly, this is from Zelensky's hometown, according to the New York Post.
Why would the Russians do that?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe because a day ago, there were three, or two days ago, according to Reuters, there were three killed in the biggest Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow in the region.
At least 91 drones downed around Moscow.
343 overall in Russia killed by debris.
17 others were injured.
3 killed by debris.
17 others were injured.
Ukraine on Tuesday launched its biggest ever drone attack on Moscow.
And the surrounding region killing at least three employees of a meat warehouse.
So, I mean, I guess the point is, the fighting is still ongoing in the midst of the peace talks.
So, the fact that Russia bombs Zelensky's hometown in retaliation for this, while negotiations are still going on, that's just part of war.
That's not like, oh, can you believe the Russians?
They haven't agreed to the ceasefire yet.
And if anything, if you look at headlines like this, From the Daily Mail from yesterday, Ukrainian forces, according to the Daily Mail, are now cut off behind enemy lines as Russian troops surround them in Kursk, aided by U.S. pausing its intelligence sharing, according to this.
So, I mean, you want to talk about who has the cards right now.
Russia has a decision to make.
And if we continue arming Ukraine...
I don't see how that's going to provide the incentive that the Russians need, that we're actually acting in good faith.
And again, Europe, the fact that Europe, are they really ready to take the L? I just, I have my doubts.
For what I see, this is just a propaganda messaging trying to reposition.
The European Union and NATO and Ukraine were utterly embarrassed about 10 days ago with the whole White House situation and the disrespect.
And not only that, the fact that Trump acted on it and said, OK, your weapons are cut off.
Your intelligence sharing is cut off.
We're not doing this anymore.
We're running the show.
You're not running the show anymore.
And maybe Europe...
Then you've got Keir Starmer talking about boots on the ground, British boots on the ground, if the U.S. supports us.
It's a joke.
So this is, in a way, it's trying to get everything back to a level, well, let's just start over.
They're trying to get everything to start over, but I think they're obviously going to try to get this deal into a position where they can once again, instead of actually getting peace, again, if the goal is peace, we have to drop the rhetoric trying to make...
Trying to make Russia, as one person on Twitter told me, that Vladimir Putin is evil incarnate.
Evil incarnate.
And it's kind of the same deal.
I mean, you remember Zelensky was trashing Putin in the White House trying to get Trump to pile on, and Trump's like, we're trying to make peace with these people.
You're not going to win the war, man.
Like, Ukraine has lost the war.
It's not going to happen.
Will they admit it, though?
That's the key.
Will they admit it?
Now, according to Freedom Train International's Jim Ferguson, and I don't know, and this is Vladimir Putin, and it's the subtitles here.
I can't, I mean, it's just Russian audio, so it's not valuable.
But according to this, Jim Ferguson summarizes what Vladimir Putin has said here, that Putin offers ceasefire.
Will Ukraine accept legitimate terms for peace?
Vladimir Putin has laid out clear, realistic terms for ending the war in Ukraine.
If Ukraine and its Western backers are serious about peace, these demands must be considered.
Russia's terms.
This is what is being described as, quote, fair considerations for peace.
You decide whether that's fair to you or not or whatever you out there decide.
Make up your own minds.
I'm just reading the news.
Ukraine must withdraw troops from the Donst and Luhankst regions.
Forgive my poor pronunciation.
That overwhelmingly voted for independence.
Ukraine must formally abandon its NATO ambitions, removing the biggest security threat that fueled the war in the first place.
Now, say you heard Rubio say earlier, or yesterday, you know, that they want security guarantees.
What does that exactly mean?
It goes on, why these demands make sense.
Dotsk and Luhankst have long resisted Ukrainian rule.
Ignoring the right to self-determination only prolongs the conflict.
NATO expansion was a direct red line for Russia, one that Western leaders knowingly provoked.
And refusing peace talks only benefits war profiteers while ordinary Ukrainians and Russians suffer.
The West now faces a choice, accept the peace and stop the bloodshed or reject the ceasefire and expose their real agenda, perpetual war and destabilization.
So right now, I mean, even from this versus what you hear from the Western media, I mean, it's like a tit for ta-- Oh, the ball's in your court.
No, the ball's in your court.
The ball's in your court.
The ball's in your court.
Who's going to actually...
Are we actually going to get peace?
And then look at this.
I mean, you tell me, is this a guy that wants peace?
Where did Lindsey Graham go?
Yeah, look at this.
This was Lindsey Graham's statement.
I'm very encouraged to hear that Ukraine has agreed to the United States' proposal for a 30-day ceasefire.
We're only talking about 30 days here, folks.
Well done, Team Trump.
I hope Russia will follow.
If Russia refuses, we should sanction the hell out of them.
I will be introducing congressionally mandated sanctions that will not only impact Russia, but will also impose sanctions and tariffs on countries that buy Russian goods, including oil, gas, and uranium.
It is long overdue.
For Russia to feel overwhelmingly economic pain as a result of the brutal invasion of Ukraine.
I applaud President Trump's efforts to end this barbaric war ASAP. So again, it's rhetoric like that.
It just makes me think, okay, so, I mean, Trump and Rubio have signaled, at least in verbiage, that they want to normalize relations with Russia.
And then you get warmonger Graham out there.
It's like, good job, Trump.
But if he doesn't do what he says he does, if he doesn't do what we want, we're going to sanction him further.
Which, by the way, if anything, if the Biden administration taught us anything, it's that sanctions, economic sanctions against Russia somehow weakens the U.S. dollar and makes Russia stronger.
Maybe not in the immediate, but certainly in the long term.
And then you've got Ursula von der Leyen.
Who says that this is a great deal as well.
The ball is now in Russia's court.
This is the narrative.
The ball is now in Russia's court.
That's probably the main takeaway from this news cycle is the ball's in Russia's court.
The ball's in Russia's court setting up, setting the whole thing up for potentially, and I don't know the ins and outs of the deal, but potentially this deal is unacceptable to Russia.
So when Russia rejects it, they say, you see, it's not just Zelensky that doesn't want peace.
It's Russia that doesn't want peace.
But if the peace means that you're still going to have weapons in Ukraine pointing at Russia and essentially a NATO membership without actually calling it NATO membership, that's a no-brainer.
That's the whole reason he fought the war in the first place.
One second, I've got to get to water.
So anyway, I don't know.
We'll wait and see.
But I will tell you this.
If you do anything else today, I really highly encourage you, and you probably have already watched it.
I mean, my goodness.
I'm not telling you anything you don't know.
Tucker Carlson, in his interview of Douglas McGregor, I got to interview Douglas McGregor on this program back before the election.
We talked about this very thing, just about the war, the carnage, the bloodshed.
The fact that NATO just won't take the L, and they were trying to get us into an even worse quagmire to where it was going to tie Trump's hands once he got in.
But there's a few high points here.
The first one is about Trump potentially being...
I've got two points here.
Hang on, is this the one where...
This is the first one.
There's two points here.
So this is later in the podcast here.
Tucker, Douglas McGregor, they actually got the news of the ceasefire in the middle of this.
McGregor is talking about here how he thinks Trump could be basically a historic figure if he not only secures peace in Ukraine, but also secures peace in the Middle East and stops this warmongering with Iran.
And this itch, you know, we want to take out Iran, we want to take out Iran.
Because you also have to understand this, and I guess I knew this, but really I was thinking about it last night.
Russia is in the Middle East too.
So how does peace in Ukraine in this conflict also affect Russia's interest in the Middle East or their friendliness, their backing of Iran, or their being an ally of Iran?
Does that make sense?
We have to consider those possibilities as well.
We don't just want peace.
One of the main reasons I voted for Donald Trump a second time was because I thought this is the guy that has the best chance to come in based on his first term track record.
This is the guy that has the best chance to come in and not start any new wars and also bring peace and say we're going to stop this.
We're going to end the bloodshed.
Because that's what I want.
I don't want people to die in war.
I think war is one of Satan's most valuable tools to send people to hell.
And I don't want that.
So, this is Colonel Douglas McGregor.
And just listen to this little excerpt from his interview with Tucker.
We've got to get back to what's rational, not what's emotional.
The president just needs to look at this and say, we need to stop this.
And he can be a world historical figure if he ends the carnage in Ukraine by simply saying, that's it, we're out.
And then turns around to the Middle East and say, stop now.
No more mass murder and expulsion of human beings from Gaza or the West Bank or anywhere else.
If he's willing to do those things, he's a world historical figure.
That's a dramatic sea change in the history, I would say, of the West and probably of the world.
But instead, what we get is, oh, we can't do that, we'll look weak.
Sort of the argument that Kissinger made to Nixon.
Well, we can't just leave Vietnam.
Well, that's exactly what the hell we did, right?
We left.
So, no, we've got to go into Cambodia to show them that we're strong.
How many people did we lose in Cambodia needlessly?
It's the same mentality.
Just be honest.
This is over.
And then tell the Europeans, these are people that we're supposedly allied with, that they need to sit down at the table with Moscow.
And we're happy to be there.
We'll sponsor it.
We'll set them up.
But they've gone so far in the other direction.
In the UK right now...
Even Nigel Farage, head of the Reform Party, which I think is the biggest party, doesn't have power, but it's, by registration, the biggest party in Britain.
And it's the counterbalance both to the...
Interesting point here.
This kind of goes back to what J.D. Vance was exposing weeks ago, right?
Highlighting the fact that they're free speech.
They don't have free speech laws.
They're arresting people for silently praying outside of abortion clinics.
They're arresting people for social media posts.
So when you hear McGregor say, sit down with Russia, we'll host it.
These people in Europe are supposedly allied with us.
We're now seeing that that's not the case.
France, because of our tough talk with Canada, and this is certainly related, France has now surfaced a nuclear submarine in Canada.
And everyone's talking about it.
They're docking there.
It's like a way to be like, well, maybe France will be the nuclear umbrella for Canada to protect Canada from the United States.
It's really the new political coalition that was formed, that sent Donald Trump to the White House for the second term, that was foreshadowing this total global upheaval, in my opinion, of this This basically is a fake, phony relationship between the U.S. and Europe.
You know, the crazed laborites and the pathetic, castrated Tories, they won't say that we should end the war in Ukraine.
Even they won't.
So even Nigel Farage's party, which is supposedly the based party over there, won't say...
That the war in Ukraine needs to end.
It's like there's nobody, there's no party that I'm aware of in all of Europe with power that will say that.
Well, you said with power.
There are plenty of parties out there advocating.
There are.
AFD, the Alternative für Deutschland.
It's not a far-right party.
I hear that all the time.
Anything that challenges the status quo is far-right.
Anything Applebaum doesn't want.
It's a bunch of nonsense.
They want an end to this.
There's no question about it.
None of this ever made sense for Germany under any circumstances.
Well, it destroyed Germany.
Literally, the German pipeline, the Nord Stream pipeline, which was based on German technology and Russian...
Natural Resources was blown up by NATO, by the U.S., whatever.
It was an act of war against Russia, but it was also an act of war against Germany, and we forget that.
And I still, to this day, maintain that the Nord Stream was blown up to keep Germany in line.
There was a winter coming.
There was a hard winter coming.
Germany, a lot of people, you know, with the sanctions against Russia.
And it's very easy to say, you know what?
We need to go ahead and maybe we're not for these sanctions.
We need to heat our homes.
We need to keep Germans alive.
We don't want Germans to freeze to death.
And then, boom.
The United States, in my opinion, just basically went, well, we're just going to take this temptation off of the table.
We're going to just take...
You're not even going to be tempted to do business with them because we're going to blow up the pipeline.
Germans have destroyed Germany, not the Russians.
Oh, I know.
And the Russians have no interest in destroying Germany.
It's the ruling classes in these countries.
They're globalists, and they need to be removed.
And they will be removed.
I'm confident that it will happen.
It's the ruling class in Europe needs to be removed.
So I have been saying, just like USAID was this slush fund to basically support communism and color revolutions and everything else, and it was dominated by the intel oligarchs and the CIA. I'm just wondering if the whole Ukraine money laundering depot scam is also, just like USAID with the kickbacks and everything else, going to rig elections, going to rig elections in Europe.
And how many of these European leaders, the elites in Europe, they look at somebody like Donald Trump and they say, oh, I mean, say what you want to about him, but Donald Trump accurately represents the consent of the governed far more than leaders in Europe represent.
They know they don't have the consent of the governor of their own people.
And so if the war, that's why I'm worried that they're actually willing to take the loss, because I think if the money laundering scam in Ukraine ends, will that then mean that all of a sudden elections in Europe are going to yield different results?
Just a thought, just a thought that I have had the last few weeks.
The British have not had a real revolution since Cromwell.
But I think they've reached a point now where they very much need a Cromwellian figure to clean house.
This is why I picked the clip, okay?
Cromwell.
Because the people ruling them are weak and inept.
Do you see any path to that happening?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I haven't been to Britain for many years.
I don't know.
Some people say Britain's too far gone.
Cromwell, ladies and gentlemen.
The Cromwell.
This is the second time I know about that Douglas McGregor has mentioned Britain in Cromwell.
Okay.
Back before the election, he tweeted this, that the United States is on the verge of either a French-style revolution or a Cromwellian revolution.
And I've said from the beginning, if I had to pick between those two and only those two, it's not complicated, not hard for me to pick which one I would rather have.
Obviously, it would be Cromwell than the bloody French Revolution.
He's saying, look, if Britain's going to be saved, there's going to have to be major, major fundamental changes.
And that's the other thing.
You've got to wonder if people, you know, if this war and this posturing and this, I mean, it was a fantasy to begin with.
The idea that Ukraine was going to be able to beat Russia was a fantasy from the beginning.
So you just wonder if all of these other, if this massive delusion ceases, It's broken.
What else cascades afterwards?
And will it be the return of the nation-states of Europe?
When will you actually have the nation-state in Europe, the idea of nation-states and individual nation-states actually take hold again?
That's the question.
Alright, now the last thing I'm going to say on this particular podcast with McGregor and Carlson was about 9 minutes and 11 seconds in.
No, didn't do that on purpose.
Douglas McGregor talks just about how understaffed we are, or how stretched thin the United States military is.
And this was startling to me.
Because this is not at all...
If what Douglas McGregor says here is true, this is not at all, not at all what the mainstream media tells us about our military capabilities.
So just listen to this.
I thought this was very important.
His instincts are good.
If he follows his instincts, he'll be fine.
He needs to stop listening to the people around him.
Number one, any war.
That breaks out today involving the United States and Russia.
And whether or not Russia, we want it to be involved, Russia is involved in the Middle East.
Russia is involved in Eastern Europe.
Whatever happens, the war will expand.
We will end up with multiple enemies arrayed against us.
China, BRICS in general.
And certainly Iran and other states in the Middle East.
So the first thing is all wars will expand.
So don't start one under any circumstances.
It will expand out of control.
The second thing is he's going to discover the hard way that we are grossly overstretched and overextended.
The American military establishment is in no position to fight any kind of long war.
Remember we used to talk about the long war that we were supposed to fight?
That was all nonsense.
If you look at all of the simulations that involve us against Iran or us against any number of great powers, they all end in two weeks.
Well, why does the war end in two weeks?
Because in two weeks we've exhausted everything that we've got.
There's no more ammunition.
There are no more missiles, no more rockets.
I would say, in truth, right now, it's closer to one week, maybe ten days.
And we don't have this scientific industrial base with manufacturing capability that is humming along 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
We can't match Russia, the nation of, what, 140 million?
Imagine that economic base producing in China.
China is in a position today that we were in during World War II and in the aftermath.
We were the productivity giant across the world.
That's China.
You can't go to war with these people.
You'll be buried by them with conventional weapons and ammunition.
And anyone who thinks a nuclear exchange makes sense deserves to be shipped off to the nearest asylum.
Yeah, you're a crazy person if you think that.
So, I mean, to summarize, he says, look, Trump, if you start a war, it's going to expand into other places.
That's where we are right now.
We've been talking about trying to avoid World War III now for a year and a half, two years.
And so if you start a war, it's going to get worse.
You're not going to be able to contain it.
Secondly, once America is in that war, he is saying, we don't have the bullets.
I mean, have you heard that anywhere?
I feel like this is huge news.
Have you heard that anywhere?
That if we got into a conflict with Iran right now, the war would last two weeks and we would be out.
We'd be done.
If that is true, that is...
I don't understand how we could even be approaching the line of war if that's all of the resources that we have.
And so that's why he says...
And then the third thing is, anyone saying, well...
I mean, are they relying on our nuclear arsenal?
Because then that's just the end of the world as we know it.
So, I would urge everybody to continue to pray for President Trump, that he would be able to sniff out unwise counsel, that he would be surrounded by wise counsel that wants an end to the bloodshed, an end to the peace, and to make a deal, both in Ukraine And in the Middle East, because it's out of control.
But we'll wait and see.
Wait and see what happens.
In the meantime, you've got USAID getting shut down.
Oh, by the way, yeah, here's that nuclear submarine.
Mark Mitchell, Rasmussen reports, bloodthirsty Redditors cheer Europe, but have no idea how this will turn out.
So they're putting this, French nuclear attack submarine surfaces at Halifax, Nova Scotia, after Trump threatens to annex Canada.
This was a post two days ago.
So that's kind of how things are going.
We'll talk a little bit about USAID and shredding documents here in just a minute.
But before we do, I want to tell you about Red Vive Health and the great folks over at Red Vive Health.
Yesterday we interviewed Dr. Raoul Desai.
And we talked about the healing power of light.
We talked about how red light therapy is for your health.
We talked about how red light therapy will make you look better, make you feel better, make you perform better.
Talking about red and near-infrared light.
Any red light panel that even wants to get an iota of your attention for potential purpose, if it doesn't have both red and near-infrared light, then they're not...
They're not part of the industry standard.
These are clinical strength red light panels.
They operate on two different wavelengths.
They're naturally emitted by the sun.
In targeted doses, these waves have a healing effect on the body.
You're talking about the red light, which is absorbed by the skin.
That leads to enhanced skin health, collagen production, anti-aging.
Then you've got the near-infrared, which is what's going to penetrate the body, get deeper into the cells, the bones, the muscles, the tissues, the organs.
I mean, it was a great interview with Dr. Desai.
He really, I think, hit on some great points just about how this is the future of medicine.
But they're offering these things in your home, ladies and gentlemen.
You can have one in your house.
And they also have 0% interest financing available, 2-year warranty.
30-day satisfaction guarantee.
0% interest financing is available.
I want you to check it out and support what we're doing here on this program by taking charge of your health and getting these fantastic red light panels from Red Vive.
For those of you listening to the audio-only version, that's Red Vive, V-I-V-E-E. You want to go to redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
That's redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
And experience the healing power of light.

So let's talk about USAID for a moment, shall we?
We've got a lot more to get to, and we're running out of time.
Libs of TikTok reporting that a senior USAID official has instructed staffers to shred and burn documents.
USAID Politico reporting USAID official tells remaining staffers to shred and burn all the documents.
The materials earmarked for destruction include content of the agency's classified safes and personal documents.
So what we can essentially assume is these personal documents...
These are all evidence of crimes.
I'm going to assume that.
I think that's a safe assumption.
These are all evidence of crimes that were committed.
This is where Tim Burchant comes in.
He actually said, people need to go to jail.
It is time for people to go to jail.
This is him on Fox Business.
...tweet, so thank you for that.
Thank you, Congressman.
And all you're seeing right now is the graft, and that's why the left is pitching such a fit, because Elon Musk very bravely has stated there is a paper trail, and it will lead us to where this is.
And you know good and well that that stuff's going to go right out of the American taxpayer's back pocket, right into the pockets of politicians.
In the past, we've seen it go into campaigns.
That's been documented through some other funding sources.
But now I think you're going to say some people should go to jail and possibly members of Congress.
So possibly members of Congress, because what the suspicion is is that the money is going out of the government under Democrat-run administrations, and it could be getting recycled back in campaign donations.
Do you have evidence for why members of Congress should go to jail?
Well, if they're involved in it, and if their family members are profiting from it, then you're dadgum right they should.
Absolutely, 100%.
And honestly, if it's going in their campaigns, it's going into something else.
These NGOs are very well documented by Elon Musk.
He explained to us pretty easy how they do it.
Some billionaire will put a million dollars and form some NGO with a great name.
It'll have a million dollars in their account and have a few prominent people on their board.
And then the federal government...
Democrats are looking for places to dump these tons of stolen taxpayer money into an NGO, and then they take it and they filter it out among their board members and their political friends.
And that's the way it works, and he's going to document it.
And that's why you're seeing them pitch such a fit.
And also, I think someone ought to look at all the young members that are out there on the ledge on this thing, pitching a fit about it.
All they're doing is these old-timers are allowing them to walk the plank.
So they can do their dirty work and their hands are never touching it.
Yeah, we found names.
So, we need arrests.
We need investigations.
We need charges.
We need arrests.
We need grand juries.
We need all this stuff.
Sooner rather than later, it's very, very difficult to wait on this type of stuff.
And the longer we wait, the more people think that it's just not going to happen.
Jeff Younger has a take.
Again, let's just read Jeff Younger's take on the Trump-Massey blow-up.
He says, From a realist perspective, this makes him politically irrelevant.
Politics isn't about ideological purity.
It's about power, leverage, and execution.
Now Jeff makes clear that he's not necessarily saying he agrees with the dust-up, but he's just saying from Trump's standpoint that's what he sees.
The deep state marauder Ivan Raiklin says that one of the reasons Massey is being targeted is because...
Trump has people around him that don't want Massey to expose the truth about the pipe bomb at J6 and maybe some other really big scandals as well.
I think that's a possibility.
Then, of course, there's also the Tucker Carlson interview where Massey went on record saying that everybody has an AIPAC handler, which is essentially the Israel lobby and their influence on our Congress.
People say that some people have tied it to that.
It's going to be interesting to see if a primary actually happens.
I've seen some people say, why can't these two guys just get in a room and hug it out?
That's kind of what I would prefer.
Because I feel like this week, to me, it just feels like kind of a distraction.
Distracting away from the momentum.
And I get it.
I can see both sides.
Trump wanted the continuing resolution, which passed anyway.
He wants the continuing resolution.
He says because he wants more time, doesn't want to slow down the momentum, doesn't want to shut down the government.
We're going to fight this out in September.
But then you've got to think, like, well, what changes between now and September?
The Senate makeup of Democrats certainly doesn't change anything, and you're going to have to have them, right?
But anyway, we'll see.
I'm not even really as concerned about it.
You know what I'm concerned about?
I do, yeah, I want arrests.
I'm not going to hold my breath.
But I will tell you this, the idea that the IRS is going to get shut down, potentially, the idea, I mean, tax season's right around the corner, the idea that American citizens may get the savings that Musk is talking about with Doge, and I'm just kind of spitballing here, but I've wondered, like, if you shut down the IRS, there's a lot of people that are owed refunds that are going to be really upset if they don't get the refunds, but then if you've got Doge coming with checks, I don't know.
We'll have to wait and see.
It's just something to think about.
And I know there may be some people out there that have problems with that, you know, in terms of like, you know, conservative free market principles or whatever, but I'm just telling you like the lay of the land right now.
As I see it, maybe what's potentially happening.
Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen reports, eight years ago, Trump Republican approval was 76% and 55 strong approved.
Today it's 83% and 65%.
He writes, the Massey maximalists are probably not going to move the needle.
And then we have this story.
Breaking U.S. gas prices reach four-year low.
Big deal.
Trump taking a victory lap earlier.
And then I love to follow.
I love Shipwreck.
I love to follow her and watch her videos.
This is what she's talking about.
She's basically saying, look, I disagree with the fact that we're not getting things like the Epstein files.
Eggs have come down, and gas is coming down, and the border is getting more secure, and that's what I voted for.
I want to make something really, really clear.
I don't regret my vote.
I didn't cast my vote in hopes that I would get to see Jeffrey Epstein files.
I didn't cast my vote for Donald J. Trump in hopes that I would get to see 60-year-old JFK files.
I didn't even cast my vote to stop the conglomerate of big pharma, right?
I can research.
I can make choices.
I can decide not to do things or to do things or not to take medication or to take medication.
I can decide to do that.
I can research that for myself and my kids.
What I voted for was cheaper groceries, a closed border, a safe border, a safer country, more law and order, and cheaper gas at the end of the day.
Because when the cameras are off, when you step back from this online social media thing, okay, how you're able to live your life and how easy or how hard it is for you to live your life is really what's going to affect your ability to see things more clear.
Paying $10 for eggs and rubbing two wooden nickels together on a prayer in survival mode, okay, doesn't allow me to focus on JFK files.
Doesn't allow me to focus on Jeffrey Epstein files.
So worried about the day-to-day and putting food on the table and putting gas in the cars and making sure our mortgage is paid and making sure we've got a good interest rate that I can't worry about anything else.
It's really hard to live your purpose and to do what you need to do when you are constantly in survival mode.
I have full faith and trust in the Trump administration that I'm going to get there eventually.
Our eggs have dropped like a rock.
Our gas has come down at least a dollar and a half since this whole thing started.
Things are getting better, and I anticipate them to only continue getting better.
So from an economic standpoint, is that true?
Do you feel that?
Gas prices are low where I'm at.
I don't know what the price of eggs is.
We have chickens.
So we invested in chickens like three years ago.
I couldn't stand them at first.
But now it's like I really appreciate it.
It was my wife.
She was like, we're doing the chicken thing.
I was like, really?
And you know, they've got all those TikToks out there.
It's like, if your wife gets chickens, congratulations.
You're about to be a farmer.
You're about to have goats.
You're about to have pigs.
We haven't gone down that trek yet.
But we do have chickens.
So I'm not really sure what the price of eggs are because I haven't bought eggs in a while.
But anyway, interesting.
Let me know what you think about that.
And again, economically here, just in country, what's the quality of life going to be like for the average American if the IRS is paused for 90 days?
Or if they turn the IRS into the external revenue service, if the tariffs actually work out?
What's going to happen if they actually fire?
What practically happens, what happens when they fire 45,000 employees from the IRS of the 90,000?
That they have now.
What does that do?
I'm just sorry.
I mean, this is where my mind goes.
What does that do for, you know, collections and auditing and everything else?
Honest question.
Honest question.
Mark Mitchell again, 16 days ago, James Carvel.
You know, the guy from Louisiana.
He kind of talked like this.
We're dying down here.
We're dying down here.
16 days ago, James Carville predicted Trump's approval would plunge in the next 30 days.
He writes, I figured I would be helpful to track it for him, and today Trump's approval is one point higher than February 24th.
That's great.
That's great, great, great.
Okay, what else do we get?
Okay, big dust up.
All hell broke loose.
According to End Wokeness, Sarah McBride, Congressman Sarah McBride, was called a man because that's what he is.
I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ranking Member Keating, also wonderful.
Mr. Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again, please?
Yes, it's a...
We have set the standard on the floor of the House, and I'm simply...
What is that standard, Mr. Chairman?
Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced a duly elected representative from the United States of America?
Please.
I will.
The representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.
Mr. Chairman, you are out of order.
Mr. Chairman, have you no decency?
Mr. Chairman, have you no decency?
I mean, I've come to know you a little bit, but this is not decency.
You will not continue it with me unless you introduce A duly elected representative the right way.
This hearing is adjourned.
Yes!
Oh, listen here, mister.
Yeah, that was good.
I thought that was really, really good.
Let's see here.
I thought this was pretty...
This kind of goes with the kind of switching gears here about women.
Not wanting to take responsibility.
Have you seen this?
Have you actually seen this?
So there's this viral video of a runner going around a track.
You know, they're doing the relay with the batons.
And clearly, we got this woman here that just starts bludgeoning her opponent with the baton.
And now she's trying to say that she's the victim in all this.
So we've got the side-by-side.
You can see here.
Listen to what she says after the race, how she's the victim, when you can clearly see that she's bludgeoning somebody.
Everybody has feelings.
So you're physically hurt, but you're not thinking of my mental right.
They're going off of one angle.
A couple times I was hitting her, my baton got stuck behind.
Was that a fire?
Was that a fire alarm battery notification?
Did somebody add that in there?
Did you hear that?
You know the whole stereotype about never changing the batteries in your fire alarms?
Everybody has feelings.
So, you're physically hurt, but you're not thinking of my mental right.
They're going off of one angle.
That's exactly what it is.
Somebody had to add that.
Really?
I mean, look, I know stereotypes exist because they're reinforced every single day, but come on.
Time got stuck behind her back like this and it rolled up her back.
I lost my balance and when I pumped my arms again, she got hit.
I know my intentions and I would never.
Hit somebody on purpose.
They're assuming my character, calling me ghetto, racist slurs, death threats, all of this just because of a nine-second video.
She wound up and hit that girl, and here's another angle of it.
L over on X. Uh-oh, Baton Girl isn't going to like this angle.
Here's another angle.
Let's see.
Here we go, here we go, and wham!
I mean, look at that.
You see that?
That's crazy.
I mean, winds up and hits her, and yet, boom.
And yet, we just have this culture.
I mean, look, it's kind of part of the human condition, but I just think it affects women more of not wanting to admit when they're, I mean, just not wanting to admit that you're guilty, not wanting to admit that you're at fault when you're caught red-handed.
And this is everywhere these days, you know?
You see it everywhere.
And I just, I think it's part of, I think the reason it affects women more is because of feminism, you know?
I mean, I think that's obvious at this point, feminism.
And that leads us to, wow.
Wow.
So yeah, let's cue this up and...
Let's do 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.
All right, this week's I'm Already Against Women Clergy.
You don't have to convince me.
It comes from End Wokeness.
Yeah, that is a woman with a...
I guess a beard and eyebrows drawn on her.
Let's take a listen.
Good morning.
Would you pray with me?
Come Holy Spirit into the hearts of all of your beloved children and kindle within us the fire of your unending and relentless love.
Okay, did somebody add this?
According to this video, you see it right there.
This is the Reverend Brock Bottom.
Pronouns he, they.
This is allegedly Brock Bottom dressed up with a collar on.
Beloved children, enkindle within us the fire of your unending and relentless love.
May all of my words and our hearts together honor you today, O God, our Rock and our Redeemer.
Amen.
But performing gender as a daily task, I would argue, is a learned cultural trait to which we have all been exposed.
How absolutely brain-dead do you have to be to, like, I can't wait to get my message from Pastor Brock, who's a woman, wearing a fake beard.
She's wearing a fake beard.
Like, how absolutely, like, it's just insane to me.
As understandings of drag have changed throughout history, perhaps drag today could be defined as that which threatens the already fragile and arbitrarily constructed framework for gender performance.
No, it wasn't.
It's not fragile, not arbitrary.
It was constructed in the garden.
You know, Adam was created by God.
Eve was formed as a helpmate to him.
And, you know, marriage may be hard after the fall.
Actually, it's interesting.
There are three...
Pre-fall ordinance, at least three that I know of.
Three.
There's marriage that's established before the fall of man.
There's work that's established before the fall of man.
And then there's rest that's established before the fall of man.
And then you get to the fall, and marriage is now a lot harder than it used to be.
Work is a lot harder than it used to be.
And even rest.
Rest is hard.
Because of sin.
But no, it's not arbitrary.
But man, you just got to feel sorry for the kids out there.
Rhetorical millstone for this Pastrix.
Because if there's any kids in the audience and they're growing up thinking this normal, they're being led on a very, very dark path.
And that concludes...
That concludes today's edition of This has been I'm Already Against Women Clergy.
You don't have to convince me.
That about winds things down for us.
