Wed Episode #2229: Hegseth Called Iran Dead — He Was Wrong

0:00. . . In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 25th of March. Here of our Lord, 2026. Well, it seems like every day that comes we have the federal government usurping more power and banning more things. Today, we see that they're banning Wi-Fi routers,

1:01if they're not made in the United States. What's behind all this? We're going to probably have to start looking at these signs, saying like a free Wi-Fi. We're going to look at that as a plea of liberation rather than a offer of services. And there is some good news that is coming up. Can we ban the Trump bio-weapon, the mRNA, GCI, genetic code injection? Well, there are three states who are trying to do it. We're going to talk about which states and what is the basis of this. Of course, I'll also have updates on the war. Drill Slinty is going to be with us, talking about the war, as well as taking a look at the economics. What is going on with gold? Why have we seen gold go up already? We'll be right back. Stay with us.

2:10Yeah, free Wi-Fi. Free Wi-Fi from the feds who want to tell you which routers you can buy now. They claim it's a national security issue. The vulnerabilities that are built in. What is behind this? Is this crunny capitalism? Is this protectionism? Is this the government wanting to have its own backdoors into what you're doing rather than perhaps a foreign company or foreign government? I think that's really what it is. When you look at this, I think they want to put their own backdoor in. This is the same type of stuff we saw and talked about with 5G and Huawei. They lay out all the issues that you say, you know, with 5G, the companies that put this in, they can do this and this and this and this and they can spy on everything that you do and so forth. And it's like, yeah, and so can you. So this is another one of those issues, I think. And yet, what's even worse about this, what I think is really pouring salt into the wound, is this is not even being banned by Congress.

3:12Congress would have the authority to do that under the Constitution or the 10th Amendment. Nobody in the federal government has the authority to do this, but where is it coming from? You know, just like we talked about gun control by executive order by Donald Trump, that was the worst possible scenario. That is worse than violating the Constitution by congressional law. That takes a lot more effort. It's worse than violating it with a Supreme Court ruling, which doesn't take as much effort as the Congress, but still takes more effort than a single individual. And the individual working through taking that power for the presidency also is taking that power for the bureaucracy, which is under the executive branch. And that's where this is coming from. This ban is coming from the FCC. What gives them the right to do this? What gives the FCC the right to even exist? The FCC is not in the Constitution. It was a practical issue in terms of allocating spectrum, but they didn't need to have the FCC around to do that.

4:18You do that with one time auction. You don't need to have an entire unconstitutional agency to hang around. You've got an unconstitutional agency looking for something to do, twiddling their thumbs and guess what? Now they're going to be banning routers. This is the same guy, Brendan Carr, who whenever you have a mainstream legacy broadcast or like CBS or somebody else, it says something that Trump doesn't like, he wants to take their license. And Brendan Carr is just fine with that. These people are out of control. So what is this? The White House convened interagency review that determined that these devices pose unacceptable threats to U.S. households, critical infrastructure and the economy. This is to the first amendment of the bump stock. It's like an amendment, frankly, major brands like TP Link, which has a dominant share of the U.S. market. Netgear, Google Nest, Amazon, Euro, Cisco, Linksys, Asus, produce most models abroad, often in China,

5:26which controls an estimated 60% of U.S. home router market. Of course, we've had reported about the program that the U.S. government has, where if interesting persons buy a computer, they would route it through the hand agreement with the corporations and the shippers and so forth. They would route it through this facility that had San Antonio. And they would load it up with things to surveil what that person is doing before they would deliver it, then deliver it as a new product. But anyway, you can look at this and say, well, the motivation of this might be, Chrony Capitalism, helping his friends, one of these companies that's part of this netgear. Even though they do manufacturing abroad, they also do some manufacturing in the U.S. So their stock went up in anticipation that's going to be more protection for them. So it's protectionism, it's Chrony Capitalism, it's a violation of the Constitution by the bureaucracy yet again. Why? Because they want a surveillance state. So the FCC highlighted how malicious state and non-state actors have exploited vulnerabilities and foreign-made routers for cyber attacks on American civilians.

6:38That is always going to be the case. They might want to think about that before they put all of our military eggs in the artificial intelligence basket, or before they put all of our eggs anywhere on some online cloud data source. We've seen those things hacked over and over again. Companies can seek exemptions through the Department of Defense, or the Department of Homeland Security. Think about that. You can't manufacture this, you can't bring in stuff unless you ask permission of the Defense Department, or Homeland Security. And I talk about a militarized police state. You are there, and you will own nothing unless they expressly allow you to have it. The move builds on prior FCC actions, such as the December 2025 ban on new foreign-made drones. That's another thing they've banned. We didn't cover a great deal of detail. You can't get your drones from abroad. Well, you know, you shouldn't really have a drone manufacturer here.

7:40Now, they have nobody wanted to go into that business, or because the China price in terms of slave labor, currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, all these other things that are giving China the advantage they don't address that instead, whether just putting up as a wall, an economic wall. And so there's the lines with ongoing security of firms like TPLink, which faces separate national security probes, and a lawsuit from Texas over alleged deceptive marketing and data access risks. So just take a look at what's happened over the last few weeks. We've seen governments, whether it's state government, or whether it's federal government, move to ban 3D printers and affect. Say, well, you're going to either be put out of business, or you're going to go to the expense of maintaining a database, and every time somebody wants to print something,

8:40you go to the government database, or the government approved database, and look to see whether this particular file is approved for printing or not. Is it on the ban list? We don't want you printing 3D gun parts, and we don't want you printing something that might be copyright issues. So unless you put that into your 3D printer, we're going to ban your 3D printer. That's going to ban 3D printers altogether. It's too expensive for most to be able to do that. And even if the ones who come through will be far more expensive because of this burdensome regulation, everything that we see in our life. I mean, we just had an issue with a water heater. Whenever you've got any kind of appliance around your home, you see how much more expensive it is when the government's got its own regulations and what they demand to have happen, which is not necessary. You know, we had a much better life when I was a child because they didn't have government micro-managing and raising the price of every single thing.

9:43Well, so they ban 3D printers, then we got Californians of other places wanting to ban open source software, open source operating systems, and things like that. If you don't go through and do the know your customer stuff, if you don't put in digital ID and age verification for kids and all these other things that they want in there, then we will shut you down. So they're over and over again. They're banning stuff and they're putting these onerous regulations on corporations making their products more expensive, more difficult to obtain in a new way. And then shutting off things that a lot of people get these secondary pieces of software because they want something that they know is open source. They can look at it and see that it is not spying on them. The government doesn't want you to be able to do that. The government wants you to pay more for their friends, the people who give them money, their owners and donors. You know, Google gives money to politicians. Apple does as well. So you need to get those proprietary operating systems. They're the only ones who are going to be able to comply with this. And then of course, now we've got banning routers. What's next?

10:50Well, I mean, just look at what they've done with cars and homes and how they're gradually strangling car and home ownership because they're onerous regulations. Well, just banning foreign made Wi-Fi routers. Every router sold nationwide is at least partially built overseas, including popular models from TP link and net gear and so forth. And again, this is the way the economy, whether you like it or not. This is the way the economy has organized and it is very much like what Leonard Reed talked about with eye pencil. That's the way voluntary markets organize to try to make things more efficient. I know the Chinese government has stepped in in a very fascist, protectionist way. And so Trump wants to make this more like the Chinese government. I think we need to move in the opposite direction. But everything that he's doing is designed to blow up these bridges that we've got. And guess what? He does it before we've got a solution domestically. It's just like his war.

11:51We're going to go in and blow up and run. It's like, well, what about it? Take the straight of home is I don't know about that. Now he's worried about it. He goes in and he blows up the bridges to products that are made abroad and parts that are made abroad, even for people who are doing domestic manufacturing. Even if they build most of it here, they still got to get some parts from abroad. He just shuts it off like it's a faucet or something. Even before there is something else to take its place. This is a pattern of behavior, a pattern of insanity, really. And a self-harm. FCC said the move is intended to prevent foreign adversaries like China and Russia from accessing equipment. You think that's going to stop them? You're not going to stop that with this. It's basically, again, it's protectionism and it's our own government wanting to have its own back doors and this stuff. Scaling up production of fully U.S. made routers is expected to take time, see? Internet service providers could face challenges applying equipment to new customers. In other words, another problem.

12:54More self-harm from Trump. He's like some mentally disturbed teenager cutting themselves in the corner of the room. He's cutting us. He's not just cutting himself. There's no immediate threat to devices that are already in use. They're going to grandfather in the devices that are there. Isn't that nice of them? The move targets a global supply chain as always. So Trump does with everything. Now he's at the global supply chain of energy. You notice there's a pattern. Couldn't be a conspiracy or a plan. Cut it. That's the real 40 chess. The fact that these people got people to believe that Trump was Republican instead of a New York City Democrat and got them to make excuses for all of the globalist Democrat things that he's doing and blowing up the supply chain everywhere. China has historically supplied about 60% of these and they're going to just cut that off. It's right right away. So get ready for shortage of these things.

13:57You may want to get something now if you're thinking going to be in the market for a router anytime soon. Brendan Carr, chairman of the FCC said, I welcome this executive branch national security determination. I don't welcome the national security status. I said many times it's something that was an abomination. It was created by Harry Truman, just like he created the NSA with an executive order, a secret executive order, just like he set us on the path of all of these non declared wars calling it a police action. He was the one who set up the national security state and we can't tell you anything about what we're doing. We operate completely in the dark and you can't see what we're doing. What does that invite? That invites corruption like nobody has ever seen and that's what we've gotten ever since. I'm pleased said Brendan Carr that the FCC's now added foreign produced routers which were found to pose an unacceptable national security risk to the FCC's covered list. What, tell you what? If you're worried about it, take care of it with your contractors that you're buying government products from or your military products from.

15:06Leave me alone. What I do has nothing to do with national security. There's nothing that I have that has to do with national security. I know you would like to eavesdrop on everything that I'm doing because I'm opposed to you and everything that you're doing, but it's not about national security. This is just ridiculous. But this is a guy who wants to punish broadcasters for Trump. This is a guy who hates the First Amendment. He hates the Constitution, all the Bill of Rights for that matter. Just fascists carry out direct attacks against American civilians and their homes, he said. Well, none of us are worried about that. We don't need to be protected from that. Just like we don't need to be protected by the TSA that fails 95% of the time. How in the world do we convince people that there's a threat? Well, they don't have to convince you of a threat. They just pronounce it as a threat. The real threat, folks, is Washington, DC. That's the threat to our lives.

16:06So we're not providing foreign actors with the built in back door. No, the feds are the ones who want to have the back door and we will find at some point in the future that there's this secret memo that in the name of national security, the router manufacturers are not allowed to say anything about it. And we'll find that they're mandating for them that they report everything that we do give them a back door into what we're doing. Well, speaking of back doors, this mail-in voting election that Trump says we've got to pass Save America Act or the country's lost. And he's going to do anything that he can to get this through. Well, it turns out that, you know, not only is this guy the father of the vote by mail. He's the one who started this in 2020. I remember very clearly saying you are setting up one of the worst risk for honest elections we've ever had when he did it. And he did it as part of the phony lockdown. Well, now he just cast a mail-in ballot himself.

17:09He says mail-in voting is mail-in cheating. And yet that's what he did in Marlago in a special election. Not like that, but you know, we've always had absentee ballots if you are sick or going to be out of town on election day or whatever. And of course, election day is a very long period of time in most states now. But you always had the option if you were sick or disabled or going to be out of town to vote by mail. What changed was the way the Trump did. Everybody is voting by mail. And once they did it to that large extent, it is something that is a real security risk. I agree with him. But he's the one who created all of this stuff. He's a father of vote by mail corruption. And so the father of vote by mail corruption decided that he wanted to vote in this election. And even though he was in Palm Beach at the time. And even though he could have voted with early voting in person, he choose chose to do vote by mail. The guy is consistent in a way, isn't he?

18:13Trump is railed against voting by mail for years, claiming without evidence says CBS. But I think there's plenty of evidence that if you just look at the way the thing is done, there's plenty of evidence that vote by mail and electronic voting machines are a real hazard. And you can find examples of it. But you can see that it is open to that type of corruption of less. But he said they said his save America act would add more voter ID requirements and limit mail and voting. I think that's a good thing. But again, the hypocrisy of Trump in terms of being the creator of this. And in terms of using it himself. Reaks as usual. But here's as we talk about him being the father of the mail and voting fraud. It's also the father of the COVID mRNA fraud. And now we got three states have offered bills that would declare these mRNA COVID shots who weapons of mass destruction.

19:17How long have I been calling it weapons of mass destruction? I've been calling it a bioweapon for years. Because it is a bioweapon. And I'm not the only one who's been calling it that you got a lot of scientists, even a lot of public health organizations and some other foreign governments who have called it a bioweapon. Well, the three states that are doing this are Minnesota, Arizona and our own Tennessee. They've now introduced legislation designating mRNA injections as quote biological weapons of mass destruction. Last year, Minnesota was the first to propose a law criminalizing mRNA jabs following an Arizona earlier this year. And now Tennessee, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, South Carolina. I have introduced this in Tennessee. I have previously sought to restrict the use of mRNA technology. It's only a matter of time before these injections become outlawed at predicted Nicholas Holzer who is with the McCullough Foundation. An epidemiologist and administrator there. Holzer noted that if the Arizona bill gets enacted into law, quote processing distributing or manufacturing these shots will constitute terrorism.

20:29You know, it really was terrorism if you stop and think about it. That entire COVID-McGuffin. Scaring people to death over something that's not real, but you know, using using scare tactics, using violence and threats of violence. They did get violent with people if you didn't follow their policies, right. All of that, that is terrorism. And so he said, and rightfully so should be called terrorism and have related charges and even life imprisonment. Given these shots have killed injured and disabled millions upon millions of people across the globe, rivaling hundreds of erosium and nuclear attacks, it is a weapon of mass destruction. Again, you know, Trump keeps lying to us about how many lives he saved and all the rest of the stuff is pure fantasy. Not a shred of evidence. There's plenty of evidence of mass. You can look at the epidemiological charts. You can look at the excess deaths. Yes, the excess deaths started going up in 2020.

21:32Because they were doing things like putting people on ventilators that had respiratory issues and killing them 90% of the people dying. But the Trump administration was rewarding hospitals for doing that. Rewarding them for pointing at somebody and saying you've got the magic mystery disease, right. 20% bonus for everything you do in the hospital. And we'll give you $13,000 if you point at them and say that they've got the disease instead $13,000 plus a 20% bonus on everything in the hospital. And if you've been on a ventilator, $39,000, of course, you're going to do that to people. They hold life cheaply. It's about making money because the corporations have been taken over. The corporations have taken over the hospitals and the doctors are not in control anymore. It's the bureaucrats and the corporations that are in control of health care. And so we saw an increase in the number of excess deaths. But you can see everywhere. When the mRNA shot rolls out, you can see a massive spike go up in death. It killed a lot of people run away.

22:33And then there's a lot of people who are still dying from turbo cancer, still dying from heart disease, like myocarditis, paracarditis, dying from blood clots, dying from this spike protein, this genetic code injection that I've been calling it since 2020, that changes your body. Why didn't anybody see this when Trump goes around and says, how long is he going to take you to manufacture? And they say, oh, we got something we can do it right now because we're going to turn your body into a manufacturing plan. I said, okay, stop right there. I see a problem with this. I don't want my body turned into some kind of a manufacturing facility for anything. And how do I turn it off? Well, turns out you don't turn it off. That's why this thing is so long lasting and why we don't have a final number. It's an ongoing thing. The Minnesota Bill clearly states it is, quote, the intent of the legislature to designate mRNA injections and products as weapons of mass destruction.

23:36Tennessee's bill is known as the mRNA BioWeapons Prohibition Act. It was introduced last week and it prohibits the manufacturer acquisition possession or making accessible to others of mRNA injections and products. It requires state and local government officials to use all lawful means necessary to investigate or to enforce suspected violations. It punishes violations the same as manufacturing, acquiring, possessing or transferring a weapon of mass destruction, which is a Class B felony. So it's been introduced in Tennessee, Arizona and Minnesota. We should try to get the state senator who's introduced it. Janice Bowling should try to get her on the show. Give her a thank you. Thank you for the Sandy. We've had a bill that was introduced in Tennessee talking about not putting mRNA in food, genetically engineering it into foods. And that was mocked by the mainstream media.

24:39It's like, look at these people, you know, they're paranoid conspiracy theorists. It's like, well, we're not paranoid. It's already been talked about. You've got and the guy who put it in, I think, was a doctor as well as a representative. Anyway, he said, here's the articles where they're bragging about. That's what they're going to do. How they're going to deliver it. We don't want drugs put in our food. And by the way, we don't want drugs put into our drinking water either like fluoride or anything else. Why would you dose people through their food and water makes absolutely no sense if you really are talking about health? Again, if you're looking at something, let's say that you've got a drug and you want to be safe and effective. Well, if you get too much of anything, it's not safe. And if you get too little of what you're trying to get, it's not effective either. Dose means everything. Why would you put it into the water supply? Why would you put it into the food? So mRNA and based injections instruct human cells to produce a genetic spike protein.

25:42And you can't turn that thing off. People are still producing it after several years in some cases. This is a report, by the way, from life site news. Life site news reported last fall that more than 81,000 physicians, scientists, researchers, and concerned citizens, 240 elected of government officials and 17 professional public health and physician organizations have demanded withdrawal of the COVID-19 shots from the market. Well, I'm one of those. I didn't record it anywhere except on my program. I never signed up on any list that I saw anywhere. I'd be happy to do that. But again, I guess, you know, the county added to 81,000 and one concerned citizens and physicians and scientists. The total number of COVID-19 shot deaths reported to the VAERS adjusted deaths exceeds 589,000 in the US and 17 million around the globe. And again, why they set up this vaccine adverse events recording system if they're not going to pay any attention to it.

26:47We've had situations in the past where a vaccine was noted to be responsible for nine deaths, not 900, not 9,000, not 9 million, but nine deaths. And it was banned in several states. Why can't we do it with this? It is long past time to do that. Well, as we look at the medical profession, we have this article here from Futurism, a doctor reels as her son becomes a plumber in the age of AI. She said, am I the blip in my family's more traditional working class journey? In other words, everybody in my family is always working class. I went to college. I became a doctor now. Now my son is going to become a plumber. Oh, no. She said, I want to pay this forward. I feel like I'm disrespecting my parents because it was so important for them for me to go to college and get a college education become a doctor. And it's like, well, maybe your son sees something that you don't. I would pat the son on the back. And I'd say, well done.

27:49You read the signs of the time. There is no job that is guaranteed. That's right. You know, you're not guaranteed to make a living making art with AI coming online. You're not guaranteed to be able to be a doctor. That's right. That's just how the market works. And it's going to take a lot longer for them to replace plumbers with AI and robots. I'm not doing that. I don't want to get them. I guess, yeah, he wants to probably do new construction or the unclogging toilets. Here I am, brain sizeable planet. Letting down her parents, he said, who worked hard to elevate her social and academic position, we need to not be calmed captive to our degrees. I've known so many people and so many different professions that really hated what they were doing, but they felt captive to it. I spent so much time getting this degree and that's what I am and that's my identity. I can't stop and go do something else as I get over that.

28:53We should all be open to doing something where we are. Where we are valued as a matter of fact, the old story about the rich father who gives his child a watch and says, take it down to the pawn shop and take it to this place and that place a jeweler. See how much they'll give you for it, you know, and I think a couple hundred dollars or whatever. And finally says take it to the museum. Take the museum. Oh, this is very rare, very old. We'll give you tens of thousands of dollars for it. And he says, you know, you want to understand that some people are not going to value what you have. Don't deal with those people. Find the person that values what you have that is unique and that really applies to the work that we do as well. A Democrat bill could dismantle homeschooling freedoms and Connecticut. This is also from life site news. Connecticut, interestingly enough, is one of the more free states right now. And they're about to flip the switch and go exactly in the opposite direction is warning to all of us.

29:55We had a similar situation like this in the late 1980s and or wasn't the early 1990s. I can't remember. And that's probably the 90s because we were already involved in the homeschooling stuff. And the Democrats and the teachers union wanted to ban homeschooling. The homeschoolers got together in this small group of homeschoolers. Got very active writing letters and so few people ever communicate with their elected representatives to say what they like and don't like. That this number of people, a small number of people, they looked at that and thought there was a lot more behind it. It's kind of like the stories that you hear about the Civil War where you at the very beginning you'd have several cases of this where the union army would show up and had this massive army. And the Confederates on the other side only had a few people. They started. They found a clearing where the other people could see them and they started marching in a circle. I thought there was this huge army that was on the other side. That's basically what we did with the homeschoolers writing letters to the elected representatives in North Carolina.

30:58And we beat the teacher's union and the Democrats in that. And so that is where Connecticut is right now. The Connecticut Education Committee voted 26 to 20 to advance the controversial legislation that would impose greater burdens on homeschooling moms and dads. It is titled innocently as a bill about quote equivalent instruction, but it would mandate curriculum review. It would essentially get your name turned into the local school district officials who even though they have an interest in keeping your kid in school would have to approve. So it would be basically not allowed unless you get express permission. They take a right and turn it into a privilege granted by the people who want to have monopoly on your child's education. And they would be empowered to withhold permission until the Department of Children and Families, what we typically call CPS child protection services confirms that there's no child abuse.

32:01So you're guilty until you prove that you're not abusing your child. You have to get your curriculum approved by them and on and on. You can see all the dangers in this country advocates for the increased regulation sites several horrific examples of children who were removed from public school under the guys of homeschooling then were hideously abused. You know, I can go through in any given state and any given month that I can find a charge of some teacher or somebody at that school at a school and that jurisdiction that is abused a child sending your kid to school doesn't mean that they're not going to be abused by some teacher or administrator or anybody who's in that school. And so that happens everywhere unfortunately it's not something that is indicative of parents it's more likely to happen with strangers that are there. And so it can happen anywhere there's no guarantees and if you love your child you want to make that's one of the reasons that you want to keep them away from these institutions where you don't know what's happening.

33:08But the institutions have now institutionalized the abuse that's what all this transgender stuff is it is institutionalized child abuse. You're going to play psychological games and gas like these kids telling them that they're in the wrong body so that you can go sterilize them and mutilate them. Seriously, it is institutionalized child abuse and most of these government schools especially the ones that are being run by the blue states by the Democrats. And so homeschool legal defense association they're your friends if you're homeschooling they are on it and said this turns the whole idea of parental rights upside down and that's the whole purpose of all this stuff is to take away. The whole idea of putting out children's rights that was the UN idea the UN Convention on the rights of the child. Well, the purpose of that was to take possession of the children so the village could raise the children and to terminate parental rights. And we keep seeing that over and over again whether you're talking about curriculum that's being taught or you're talking about the transgender issues and other things.

34:15So critics won the legislation could lead to mandated vaccinations as well as other heavy handed state involvement public backlash against the bill has dwarfed support of it. About 42,000 people have filed witness slips opposing the bill only 1,000 have filed public support for it. 42 to one against well that well that work. Now here's one other thing you need to know about this also I think it's worth pointing out that most of the people that tend to be obsessive about this kind of legislation. Oh, we have to control your children. We have to know what you're doing with your kids very rarely have children themselves. Yeah, this is continually the position of spouse by these extremely liberal single white women who have become teachers that feel that they have some kind of intrinsic right to brainwash your children into what they believe. That's right. Well, there's also a coalition for responsible home education and what this is is this is what they're trying to do is to eliminate home education.

35:20Sounds like they're in support of it, but they're not same way that planned parenthood is about actually is planned non-parenthood. Yeah, this is also folks just to remember this is being funded by the Ben and Jerry foundation. So remember that when you're at the grocery store about Ben and Jerry. And this is what the foundation says. It is explicitly anti-Christian. It's a Christian fundamentalists in the United States have worked to enact their regressive ideas about gender and race by using homeschooling to isolate and to abuse their own children. Well, yes, I don't like what you call your progressive ideas about gender and race. And so yeah, that we do homeschooling to protect our kids from that. But that's not abuse. Abuse is what you do psychologically and physically to kids. We'll be right back.

36:57You're listening to the David night show. APS radio delivers multiple channels of music right to your mobile device. Get the APS radio app today and listen wherever you go. Well, I want to give you an update on the Valero refinery fire. We talked about that. It was happening just as we were going on air the other day and. And port Arthur Texas. And so as we talked about said, well, not sure what this is. Is this a terrorist attack? Is it a false flag attack? Is it just the ordinary danger of operating in these refineries? Well, it turns out that it was sea. It was ordinary dangers of operating these refineries. This is what they said. They said the release of process fluid and complex to lead to an ignition event. That's what we call a fire. And it and significant damage to key units, including the diesel hydro trader and fluid catalytic cracker.

37:57The fire sent black smoke into the sky and caused shock waves that were felt from miles away. There were, however, no injuries, no fatalities. All 770 employees were accounted for the fires were extinguished and the roads were opened early the next day. And it took a little bit longer for them to give the all clear on the air pollution, but that is over with now as well. So we're glad to see that that wasn't an attack of any kind. Meanwhile, we have talked about this the other day how we had the manipulation of the marketplace by Donald Trump. And how he, you know, just a couple of minutes before he makes his announcement, oh, we're not going to set the Middle East on fire in a few hours. Instead, we're going to give him another five days because we got great talks that are going on right now that appears to be not true, according to the Iranians. So they say, well, not talking. I don't know who he's talking to. And Trump just a couple of days before said, I don't even know who to talk to. You know, we killed everybody. That was any kind of leadership positionally we could identify. So we don't know who to talk to.

39:02But now he says that he's been having talks of people. And yet the some people who are there still say that's not happening nevertheless. There's been yet another in that particular case, they had one and a half billion dollars bet that was on the Dow in terms of betting that stock market was going to go up. And another $192 million bet on oil markets betting that they were going to go down. And of course that did happen as soon as people saw something of a little bit of hope. The market reacts immediately. Right. And so now we've got another betting that is going on. This is on polymarket. And you got polymarket accounts that are making suspicious bets on a ceasefire in Iran. Well, I hope they do have some inside information. I hope that does happen. So the difference is is that you've got polymarket, which is not based in the United States. And so people can manipulate it. And it's not the wall can't reach them on this.

40:04And there's been several instances of this as well. When you had the kidnapping of Maduro and Venezuela, that was predicted with a fairly large bet several hundred thousand dollars. And somebody placed that bet right before it happened. Can I just say how lame the future is, you know, back in the 1950s, they're like, we're going to have flying cars. We're going to have jet packs. Well, we don't have that. But you can gamble on whether the US is going to invade a country. You can gamble on whether we'll assassinate another world leader. So that's something nice. The height of corruption. But what else would we expect when we got a failed casino owner for a president that people are gambling on wars? You might as well double down on your vices. You know, if you like murder, you might as well gamble on the murder as well. I guess. Well, somebody's making a lot of money off of this stuff. Let me tell you, put down a one and a half billion dollar bet stock market is going to go up. And of course, it's going to go up when he puts out news that it's going to be perceived. Of course, a bet that size means either it's someone with so much money that a billion dollars is nothing to them.

41:09And there's very few people of the like that in the world, or they have some serious inside information on what's going on. I seriously doubt people just throw a billion dollars away on it. Who knows, maybe, could be. I'd say it's all the above, right? But you can bet the cash bet telling this corrupt guy is not going to do any investigations on this. I mean, they went after Martha Stewart for insider trading and she didn't do insider trading. She went to jail because they caught her on a perjury trap as part of that process. But she wasn't doing insider trading. These people are doing insider trading. And so there is another one of these marketplaces that does this kind of trading that's Kalshi. And they are basically the United States and they just busted a guy who was a producer for Mr. Beast because he was doing some insider trading. So they busted in. They find him took money from him and they reported him to the federal government. But that's not the case with Polymarket. And so the vast majority of Polymarket users are wagering that a ceasefire will not happen by March the 31st.

42:16Only 17% are voting yes on that 22 million dollars has been wagered on either outcome of the prediction. Most of them think that the war is going to continue. And they wager that it will be the big yes rises to 76% if they talk about a ceasefire by the end of this year. But for the end of this month, there's only 17% of the people. And so big bet has been put on that just like we saw before. And as I talked about yesterday, the corruption truly is amazing that we see. Here's a report that somebody else did on the corruption that we saw played on the marketplace stock market and the commodity market for oil. Here's the curious thing and here's kind of where the mystery is. I want to kind of zoom in on this area here so I'll kind of zoom in so you can see this is just the volumes of people going into that oil market and kind of for the most part selling after that Donald Trump post. You can see there's this real spike in activity a lot of people going in there kind of this frenzy and that's the kind of flip side of prices.

43:24But look at this 15 minutes before that Donald Trump post. There was a very big amount of trading volume very big in fact actually when you're looking at that amount of volume that spike. That was the biggest trading volume that we saw that day we're starting here just at eight o'clock in the morning we're going through to that moment of the Donald Trump post. Relatively quiet volumes not much going on in the market and then all of a sudden that. And if you're wondering okay maybe this was just a one off it was someone who made a lot of that. Have a look not just at this so this is doubly what measure the US measure of oil. Have a look at Brent's which is the kind of the European scene is the international measure of oil again the same thing Donald Trump makes his post flurry of activity lots of people there. But look at that can 15 minutes before that Donald Trump post a very big trade. Both of the oil market.

44:24Whether it's just individual or whether it's a kind of group of people and then do the style market that was even bigger. Excuseing what the potential value the notional value of those trades just on oil would be it is staggering amounts of money life changing amounts of money 580 million dollars someone has just made real killing on this and it's not just oil so that oil. Yeah and so this article here about what's happening on polymarket and when there's going to be a ceasefire declared that is a $70,000 bet. But in the oil market somebody made a hundred and ninety two million and then on the stock market they made a one and a half billion. Bet I think we have to understand that we're dealing with a hundred Biden levels of corruption now exactly in the Trump White House. Let me explain why you put the oil trade up there there was a bet that the price of oil would tank that was a bet of about 150 million another bet was placed that the market would lift in other words rise dramatically that was a 1.5 billion dollar bet now whenever you bet in the market which is effectively what it's about it's a big casino.

45:48You know for those who were only in it it's a casino where Trump is finally winning opposed to others draw income from it over time. What we need to understand is that you bet less on the downside and bet more on the upside so the hundred and fifty million dollar bet paid off because somebody within three or four minutes of the president Trump's announcement knew what president Trump was going to announce. The same thing was true for the 1.05 billion bet that you've got up there now both of these bets paid off handsomely. Now who in the White House could possibly have known and who in the White House has access to that kind of capital that could have a stupendous impact on profits. Everybody in the audience sort of sing let that sink in think about it. And I was not going to be a best to getting this normal setting where this to happen I would say 50 years ago a hundred years ago maybe maybe even 30 years ago the attorney general would have be sitting at his desk or her desk and receive a note saying we have witnessed this unnatural market behavior that's resulting in mega profits.

47:07And it all seems to come right before the president makes an announcement we feel this justifies an investigation. Well I don't think with Pam Bondy in there there's any chance of that investigation happening. Now then the question is what about Congress will someone in Congress stand up and say look at this this is outrageous maybe but it's unlikely that it will gain much traction because the population of people that sit on the hill in Congress are busy. With insider trading another word everyone in Washington is profiting one way or another from the disasters that are unfolding in front of us on the hill and you know in in the Middle East and here at home. So I I really really want the mega crowd to pay attention to this because they've been taken in badly by this president misused abused and exploited. They need to wake up and understand the kind of hundred Biden level of corruption that they're dealing with in the Trump White House.

48:10It's absolutely right and of course yeah don't hold your breath. Pam Bondy is not going to do it. Cash Mattel is not going to do it. Dan Bungie know what do they be with there they're not going to investigate Epstein they're not going to investigate this stuff. And by the way they didn't investigate who made all of those big financial bets on Wall Street and one about nine eleven remember that we talk about we talk about profiting from the death of Americans that was huge and yet Trump says we're winning I guess winner winner chicken dinner right. I don't want to do a ceasefire you don't do a ceasefire when you remember this if he does it. By March 31st they don't have an Air Force they don't have any equipment to they don't have any spotters they don't have anti aircraft. So why do you attack them they never had it at every level. We're not looking to do that.

49:12Yeah the bottom line is they never had an Air Force not except with a Shaw never had an Air Force I never had a Navy. They weren't projecting power that could threaten us so why did you attack them right. Well we got a former MI6 this guy was I forget what his title was there but he was with MI6. He was asked who's winning he has a very different opinion than Trump who has the upper hand right now. Iran former chief of the mice I regret having come to this conclusion because like many MI6 officers of my generation we face the violence and brutality of the IRGC for most of our careers. That's the Islamic Revolutionary Guard's call. So there is no law lost between us and I shared no tears for Ali Hamina who was killed at the beginning of this war. The reality is the U.S. underestimated the task and I think as of about two weeks ago lost the initiative to Iran.

50:16In practice the Iranian regime has been more resilient than I think anyone would have expected. They took some good decisions actually as early as last June about dispersing the military capability and delegating the authority for the use of those weapons. Which has given them significant extra resilience against this incredibly powerful air campaign. They embarked on what's technically called horizontal escalation are you firing rockets at anybody within range. Which at the time honestly I'm sure think I thought was nuts but in fact has been a very good way of putting in direct price on the U.S. sort of worked. And then they've understood the significance of the energy war and held the streets at threat and globalized and essentially not internationalized just globalized the conflict in a way that gives them some weapons. So you know they've played a weak hand pretty well. My second point is that Donald Trump has said some stuff that will have confirmed something they knew already which is that they're in a civilizational war in their terms.

51:23They're in a war of existence. Donald Trump made it very clear that he wanted to see them up against the wall basically. Whereas America has involved not to mention war piece. In those terms I think that's imbued them with more staying power than the U.S. and certainly U.S. counterparts. That's right you would have people in a war of aggression. That really is giving them the whip hand. You take people in a war of aggression. You tell them that they're in an existential fight. They try to wipe you off of the map. What do you expect them to do? They're not stupid. And you're giving them all the motivation that they could possibly have. As a matter of fact, you've given them motivation to run to the existing regime that you said you wanted to change. You've given them motivation to get behind that regime. Killing and destroying and a much greater extent than even the evil regime that was there before. And so as Trump is saying, well, there's nobody to talk to over the weekend. And then somehow he figured out he found some people to talk to.

52:23He said, this is why the former editor of the Wall Street Journal said he's become Baghdad Bob. He said it's sad to say, but the Iranians are more credible than our own government. That's the first time we've seen that. He said in my lifetime, but it is quite evident that Trump is lying. He doesn't even try to come up with any plausible lies. This is the same type of stuff that we saw in Minnesota. The same kind of stuff that we heard from him as well as from Christina. While they were stuck in the snow and all this after everybody had seen the video except them. They had so little interest in their conduct and the conduct of their agents. They didn't even bother to look at the video. They had such contempt for our intelligence, such contempt for the truth. They'd just make up a story and then even make their stories consistent with each other. Because they think we're so stupid we don't understand what's going on. Well, on March the 9th, Trump announced that the war was winding down.

53:26I don't see anybody other than Donald Trump and War Pete. Nobody else outside of that actual regime except for Ben Shapiro saying that we're winning the war. Everybody else says that this is a war that's going to be lost. It's going to be lost and I think the regime change we're going to get is Trump. It's nothing that I rejoice about. I don't want to see the Iranians winning and I don't want to see the Democrats winning. But when you look at Trump and they keep getting us involved in one war after the other. It's one thing after that wasn't even that movie. It wasn't one battle after the other. That's what the Trump regime has been. Now with this asymmetric warfare that they're doing is an asymmetric economic warfare. It's going to have the entire globe hating America because they all hate Trump. Even more so than the tariffs. That is what we're looking at here. When Trump comes out and says they don't have an air force stuff.

54:28If they can't launch missiles and then they launch a large missile strike that is very accurate. You know they took out that radar facility. They took that out with one missile. That was over a billion dollars and it was a central point of this distributed radar system that they have for their anti-ballistic missiles. They have this massive radar system there that detects the missiles on launch, calculates their trajectory to try to intercept them. And of course the Iranians were able to take out that several of those installations. But primarily that one that had cost a billion dollars and it was central to the entire radar scheme that was there. And what they have done is strategic. What we've done is we go in and we start bombing schools and stuff because what is our strategy? Let's bomb the most number of places that we can.

55:31And it was actually I think it was General Colonel McGregor. I think it was Colonel McGregor who said that they or maybe it was somebody else. They were talking about the targeting and the fact that the Air Force wanted to make it look like they could win wars just from the air. And so he said when we went around we actually evaluate. I don't think it was McGregor. I think it was Scott Ritter who said it because he was the one who was going around targeting and evaluating targets. He said when you went around evaluating the targets. So I reported back to them. It's like you're not hitting anything out here. And that got them really upset and the Air Force ejected him out of the country. He said so what they came up with was they came up with a percentage. They said well we're going to assume that we're hitting X percentage of the you know all the bombing that we're doing about X percentage of it is hitting something. And so we just do more bombing and we hit more targets. Right. So they just applied that percentage to everything.

56:34So just you know take it up to a thousand bombs and you know now we've hit 800 targets or something like that. And he said that simply isn't true. So from the moment this war was kicked off the Trump administration has been inconsistent in its messaging. I've seen this from a lot of different sources. Just call it what it is. A lie. If you're not consistent with what's happening, you're lying to people. And if you're constantly changing your story, that is the hallmark of a liar. Well, this is the summary from the New American. They said for years the president has communicated every day at all hours of the day it seems through social media. Perhaps the missed signals emanating from the White House are the manifestations of an impulsive and sometimes confused president trying to figure out in real time how to deal with this war. Whether he's trying to calm the markets, restore trust in his plan which he doesn't have or shame European allies into helping out.

57:37Maybe what we're seeing is a leader of the world quote unquote feeling his way around in his first major war. That's a very charitable way to put it. Yeah, maybe this guy. He just doesn't know what he's doing or trust the plan. What plan? Tell me what the plan is, right? They never had a plan. The plan was to get you to trust them. That was the plan. Trust was the plan. And what they're talking about this guy who is feeling his way around trying to figure out what's going on. That literally is folks the blind leading the blind. And speaking of somebody who is absolutely blind to the way that he has perceived Lindsey Graham and his pushing of this. Essentially suicidal attack on Carg Island and Ted Cruz wants to get involved in his well for Israel. He wants to show how loyal he is to Israel. So Ted Cruz had an interview and he said, I'm the one who told Trump to attack Iran. So I'm going to throw himself there for the Zionists.

58:39Even though we had Rubio through the grenade and said, yeah, we did this war because Israel wanted to do the war. And so they kind of pushed us into this because we couldn't say no to them. I mean, you can say no to them. And so Ted Cruz comes in and throws himself on that hand grenade that Rubio unleashed when they went in there. So American says the deranged war fantasies. That's a good way to put it of what Lindsey Graham is, but it is doing their deranged war fantasies of Israel first. GOP Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. My money is always on the Marines. Maybe he's a maybe he's the inside guy who's putting his money in polymarket as well as Brent crude and the Dow Jones futures, right? Who knows it could be any of these guys Ted Cruz said that he was alone with Trump the day before the attack. So they flew with them and then rode with him in the presidential limo that they call the beast. I would say I wonder if that is.

59:42They kind of owned themselves by calling it the beast and they I wonder if it's got a mark on it. The mark of the beast that's right there. So Nancy Mase who is also in South Carolina came after Lindsey Graham. She said he needs to be removed from the situation room. I don't want to hear one word from a guy who has no kids who is desperately sending our sons and daughters and a war on the ground in Iran. Oh, by the way, I don't want to hear one word from Trump or BB either because they don't send their kids into the war, right? You got Netanyahu's kid is setting in Miami living it up and Trump's bearing is doing who knows what and Ivy League schools. Lindsey Graham has one foreign policy since somebody else's kids to war. He was wrong about Iraq. He was wrong about Afghanistan. Now he's wrong about Iran. That was Nancy Mase saying that.

1:00:42Now Lindsey Graham wants American troops on the ground in Iran, not his kids, yours. Not for freedom, but for the price of oil. Unless he is suiting up for Carg Island himself, he should sit down. Senator Graham, why don't you deploy to Iran yourself if you're so eager to send everybody else over there? Yeah, get in the front line. You love war. Go do it. You and Sean Hannity Graham isn't the only senator who pushed for Americans to die for oil in Israel. So did Ted Cruz. And he boasted about it. I urged the president to launch this attack. I was with him pretty much the entire day on Friday before the attack launched on Saturday. This is a guy who seems to have absolutely no political discernment, no biblical discernment. Either you saw that in the interview that he had with Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson just skinned him alive showed his ignorance, flayed his ignorance to the world. He said, when asked, he said, do you think we should negotiate with Iran? He says, well, I don't believe they're negotiating in good faith. They're liars.

1:01:47I think we were the ones who were not negotiating in good faith. I think we're the ones who engaged in treachery. The legal term is perfidy. We were not engaging negotiating in good faith. Anyway, during his interview with Carlson Cruz revealed he didn't even know any basic facts about Iran. How many people who live in Iran, by the way, Carlson asked, well, I don't know the population. Carlson said, at all, he said, no, I don't know the population. If you don't know the population of the country, you seek to topple. And of course, the other thing he doesn't know anything about. It's not anything about the topography either, which is maybe even more relevant than that 92 million people with places like a natural fortress. You don't know any of that. And by the way, you don't know who the leadership is either. And you don't know how they have structured this in terms of they knew they were going to have a decapitation strike. You don't know how they structured any of that. You had absolutely no intelligence. And I mean that from the IQ standpoint, not just information. You had no intelligence at all going into this war.

1:02:52And that's what we have right now. We get the blind leading the blind. He doesn't know the territory. That's right. Go watch the music, man. He got another territory. He got another territory. Ignorant and arrogant. No idea population size, no idea the land area size, no idea the topography, no idea of the government or military structure. They did not know who or what they were fighting quite obviously. Well, Reuters is coming out and saying that Trump approved the strikes after speaking with Netanyahu. Sorry, Teddy. You can't be the number one Zionist. That goes to Netanyahu. So Trump blames Hegseth for the war. He says, Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up. You said, let's do it. Well, you know, it is, I think what does it tell you about Ted Cruz? He'd be so devoted to Zionism that he would put his neck in the noose on this losing effort of this war. I did that. I did that.

1:03:52You know, maybe they'll give him a place to live along with the pedophiles that they give asylum to in Israel. Who knows? But when we look at one Israeli, I said, maybe this is what Netanyahu is after. Netanyahu might be looking at this and saying, you know what? Maybe we're losing America. Maybe this is you of us. And maybe I also recognize that America is not the America it used to be. America will not reassert primacy. We are headed to multi polarity. So you know what? As Israel, what I need to do is squeeze as much out of this America while I still count. So if I drag America into a war that's going to be really costly for them, that might accelerate the loss of our support and also accelerate American decline, will if that war can fundamentally reshape the region and can help entrench my country's domination,

1:04:52then to hell with the consequences for America, this is worth it for us. And I just wonder whether that's in any way part of the calculation. Yeah, that's right. The Machiavellian industrial complex, you know, the guy who, you think he'd be capable of doing that? The guy who thinks that Ginghis Kong is greater than Jesus Christ. And he says, really, the good guys lose. It's the evil guys who are going to win, right? It's the evil people who are smart. Let's, let's go with them. Netanyahu determined to move forward in operation that he has urged for decades, arguing that there might not ever be a better chance to kill a company and to avenge previous Iranian efforts to assassinate Trump. Yeah, this is, we'll never have a greater fool in office. We'll never have a better tool in office than Trump. Let's make sure we don't lose this advantage. And I think that's the real issue. Netanyahu going time and time again to the White House and saying, yeah, you got to get even, they tried to kill you. That's Netanyahu was pushing that out.

1:05:54And of course, Joe Kent spoke to that as well and shot that down. Tucker is actually correct here, said Ken Silva, attempts to blame Iran for the 2024 actual attempts on Trump's life have largely come from Israel. BBE and his proxies like Mike Waltz. There are no IRGC assassins indicted. The FBI arrested some Pakistani guy and burned an informer in Iran, but they don't have any evidence of this. So, but that's Netanyahu tells them that it is a done deal. Well, there was an AI satire right, frankly, of the Iran wars, the movie. And this AI satire, they put all these different well known actors. Now the voices haven't changed, but you'll recognize the people in it. It's a pretty good summary of this pathetic movie so far. Sir, they're about to go nuclear. How long do we have?

1:06:58Liam Neeson is not on Trump. They're two weeks away. How two weeks away are they? Even more two weeks away than they were five years ago. My God! That's dangerous levels of two weeks away. I know. Son, if anything happens to me, continue my work where only two weeks away. I will continue in shallower. Now I'll go to where no one can find me. My office on the third floor, right by that really big window. My God! Sir, if we attack, they will close the straight of our moves. They don't have the balls to close the straight of our moves. They just closed the straight of our moves. And oil is now over $100 a barrel.

1:08:00Please keep me out of this. No one likes this war. And I want to take advantage of this one day. Here's a push up piece. Thank you for the moment. Come on, send a boat or something. You're the most powerful military player. Oh, here's another way in by a woman. That was a test. You fell right into my trap. Sometimes the best reason for war is no reason at all.

1:09:03We're on war, the movie. Straight out of our moves as well. Reporter says, if the worst ending as you claim to Donald Trump, do you still need $200 billion? Well, it's always nice to have, isn't it, said Trump? I say what he came back with. It's always nice to have $200 billion. That's what Americans would say when we see our tax bill. Yeah, 20% more than their record budget, $200 billion for the first time than immediately. They come back and they need another 20%. It's a very inflamed world, he said, and Democrats inflame it. Yeah, he changes the subject. That's Chris Menhan of informational liberation tweeted that out. New York Times is now reporting that Trump is actively weighing whether to use US airborne troops to seize Carg Island in a bloody suicide mission. Well, people who were with Trump in his first administration are speaking out. People like Mad Dog Mattis, Jim Mattis, General Mattis.

1:10:06It's pretty pathetic when somebody like Mad Dog Mattis starts looking like the sane person in the room compared to Warpeat, isn't it? What he had to say was he said in a jaw-dropping reality check, Donald Trump's own former defense secretary, just blew the whistle on the chaos unfolding in this reckless war. He says it's worse than anyone thought. Jim Mattis didn't sugar-coded. He said America's in a tough spot with not a lot of options. This war has spiraled into a strategic nightmare with no clear path forward. Even more alarming, he warned that if Trump abruptly ends the conflict now, it could hand control the straight of her moves, one of the most critical oil checkpoints on Earth, straight to Iran. Again, we're 20% of the world's oil flows through that. The result, a potential global economic chokehold where Iran could effectively tax international shipping and send prices skyrocketing. You know, there's another thing, and I want to talk to Gerald about this

1:11:07when he joins us. Do we have him yet, Travis? But what they're trying to do, Iran actually said, well, we'll let ships from China and another place say, yeah, we'll let them through. But if you pay in Chinese you want, we'll let you through. Iran is actually trying to set up a Chinese counter to the US petrodollar, which has already failed a year or so ago. But they're trying to set up the Chinese currency now as the currency of trading and oil. So it's even bigger than the straight of her moves. These guys, if Trump is playing checkers, they're playing 40 chess. Anyway, Trump launched a massive military escalation with no clear objective. Now he's pausing strikes after weeks of destruction. His own former Pentagon chief is admitting that there is no good outcome. He said, that's not strength. That's reckless improvisation with global consequences.

1:12:08Meanwhile, oil prices are swinging while at least biking near $120 a barrel before dropping again. Even after all the bombs dropped, Mattis says it hasn't achieved any meaningful strategic gains. None. That's the same thing that Joe McGregor said as a matter of fact. Meantime, the Iranians who always knew this was coming, just as I said it, many other people said it, had spent the last 20 years putting together a way to survive it. And that has been their goal to survive the inevitable onslaught of American military power. And they've done it, and not only have they survived it, but they've managed to strike back very decisively against their opponents. And they have punished everyone in anyone who worked with, supported or cooperated with the United States of Israel. So right now, the Iranians, despite all the damage that they've taken, and they have taken substantial damage inside their country, is actually in a very strong position.

1:13:08We, on the other hand, have made all these strident ill-advised demands, and silly remarks, are sitting around trying to figure out what we are going to do next. Are we boast about destroying the Iranian Air Force? Well, the Iranians have not had an Air Force to speak of since the shot-lift, just as insignificant. And as far as the Navy is concerned, well, we sank the seven frigates that were the backbone of the Navy. We're dealing with small boats. And we seem to think that that's a significant achievement. And I was listening to General Kane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, read from what sounded like a spreadsheet from an accountant, and tell us about all the sorties that have been flown, and all the thousands of places we've struck and dropped bombs, as though this was a metric for success. We've learned nothing since 1965. We went through this in Vietnam. Remember, as a young man, listening in 1969, 70-71,

1:14:08to similar officers in uniform, stand there and tell us, well, today we flew this many sorties, and we dropped these many bombs and this much tonnage. And the entire time we were doing this, we were losing the war. Nobody seemed to understand that until it was too late. I think now we are genuinely in a state of confusion. And I think that President Trump, as you point out, he definitely is looking for an offering. The problem is, no one's going to give it to it. He can't get it. And the Iranians are in no hurry to end this, because they are winning. Yeah, so you saw the same thing from General Mattis. Retired General Mattis is here from Retired Colonel McGregor. What Mattis is saying, no victory, no stability, no plan. Just more uncertainty, higher costs, and a world pushed closer to war. Retired General McMaster essentially was talking about World War III. He said, we've got the US government engaging Chinese

1:15:08and Russian ships in the Caspian Sea. He didn't even mention, I think, what is brewing in Cuba. We don't have a Cuban missile crisis, but we've got a Cuban oil crisis. There's a Russian tanker that appears to be ready to try to run the blockade of American ships trying to keep energy away from Cuba. There's no end to the insanity of this administration. The Trump regime is trying single-handedly to push us into global depression and world war. General, isn't Iran's potential control of the state of Hormuz wasn't that the most obvious card they had to play here? Why is it that it seems that the US was not prepared for this? Well, Edran, we actually were prepared for it. I don't know where this narrative came out that it was a big surprise. We do an annual exercise with up to 30 countries and about the closure of the state straight of Hormuz and how to reopen it. What you're seeing in the campaign now, and I think this is really important to understand,

1:16:08is a continuation of the combined force of the US and Israel, prioritizing the missile and the drone capabilities, including their manufacturing capabilities, including their ability to reconstitute their missiles and drones with support from Russia and China. There are a couple of ships sailing right now with solid fuel from China. I don't think they're going to make it to Iran. And you saw the IDF in the last 24, 48 hours, striking ships in the Caspian Sea in the far north of Iran because Russia was smuggling drones into Iran to reconstitute their capabilities. Yeah, so it's happening everywhere. Meanwhile, Trump is out there pretending to be talking to Iran. I don't know what you're talking about. I'll get a stop because we got drilled on the line. I really want to talk to Gerald, but I wanted to show you this cartoon. This is a cartoon where Trump is on the couch at the psychiatrist's office. And he says, these Iranians

1:17:09that you've been talking to for two days, are they in the room with us now? This is the craziest war. But people are dying. And the economy is dying. We're going to take a quick break. And he'll be right back. But before we do, real quickly, let me thank Wally. Thank you very much for the tip. He says, my 22-year-old son went to MEPS yesterday and is choosing his MOS here in the next few days against my better advice. I'm not sure what those acronyms are, but I'm guessing that that is military service-related. And I'm sorry to hear that. So again, we'll pray that he is OK. But we're going to take a quick break, folks. And we will be right back. Stay with us.

No matter if factor is just going through some of the articles here. Alex Springer agrees to 570 million pound take over a telegraph. Media group Axel Springer has agreed to buy telegraph, blah, blah, blah, blah for the 575 million. And an unexpected move. And they go on to say that the guy that's buying this thing is Dothner, D-O-P-H, D-O-P-F-N-E-R.

1:20:59Now, this is, the telegraph is a, is a big newspaper in the UK. You're ready? At the end of the article over here, it says, this Dothner saying, quote, we support the right of existence of the state of Israel and oppose all forms of anti-Semitism. Yeah, right. The anti-Semitism. If you don't support Benjamin Netanyahu, that's right. Hey, Dothner, come over here. And you tell me that I'm an anti-Semite because I'm against genocide. I'm against the slaughter of, oh, according to Lancet, over 100,000 Palestinian people in Gaza. You got the nerve to call. Hey, that's to you. Oh, this is Axel Springer. This is the biggest news agency in Germany that now is controlling the UK. All right?

1:21:59That's right. So, who just bought up a C, CBS? Yeah, it's, um, Ellison, Ellison family. Pro-Zionist, huh? Yeah. Not my language there. Yeah. Or would they bring into one the show, Barry Weiss. Pro-Zionist. Yeah. Hey, did you hear the crap spewing out of headsets mouth? I went to fence secretary. Oh, you mean a little clown boy that played a jerk on Fox before he got this job. Night plays a jerk at the Pentagon. Yeah. And what did he say? Oh, he's happy. That Ellison, they may take over CNN. Yeah. Right. Pro-Zionist. So anyway, we're giving people with the not getting anywhere else. And I'm mentioning this because, again, when this is a t-shirt I did, when Bill Clinton ran for office back in 1992. Mm-hmm. He deregulated the Federal Communications Act in 1996.

1:23:04There were thousands of independent radio stations, newspapers, magazines, TV stations on and on. Now, six companies control 92% of the media. Yeah. Yeah. And we're going to wind up with one giant media ring to rule them all. Yeah. Run by Sarah. Yeah. That's right. They're consolidating everything. We're only going to have one. I remember a few years ago we were talking about, look at this. We've got about a half dozen media companies now. Well, those half dozen media companies have been consolidating more and more. We're going to wind up literally with just one media company. That's going to be the Ministry of Truth. Yeah. So now going back to gold. Mm-hmm. This is where you trends journal economic update. And we go on to say. This is before. This is the day that Trump gave his state of the Union address. We had forecast in the magazine that by the weekend, he would attack.

1:24:10All right. Mm-hmm. I did a podcast with Judge Napolitano. I remember that Trump does this on a Tuesday. And I Wednesday I do a podcast. There's one coming up tonight. The judge actually is going to attack this weekend. Mm-hmm. Anyway, we go on to say that. Later on we go on to say. On the gold side as a result of the US is real attack on Iran over the weekend. Gold is spike. Remember the attack them on. February 28th. Saturday Saturday. Saturday. You've been saying for months, it'll start even before you got more specific about that particular. Saturday. You've been saying, it'll happen on a Saturday because everyone do it when the markets are closed. Right. That's when they did it in June and that's when he invaded. A Venezuelan which everybody forgot about. Mm-hmm. And kidnapped the president and his wife. Anyway, gold had spike to 5,400 dollars announced on Monday.

1:25:11But then with a blink of an eye. When the equity market sup in the US. some $200 an ounce. Right like that. Yeah, that's right. Okay. Now, let's go back to what just happened when BS Trump, last Saturday, said, I'm giving him 48 hours, 48 hours in a state of doing what I don't want to do. We're going to be in a ride, right? Right? Right. And sat the mid east on fire as well, because they promised that they would attack all the other infrastructure as well, all the other countries that there. So he was basically saying 48 hours before we set the middle east on fire. And then what happens on Monday? Hey, hey, I'm talking to him. I'm talking to him. We got a deal. It's make a deal. I'm in practice. So right. It's the

1:26:12pressure that you reality show. I was just doing a TV show. So you always sit at me. We've got a deal going on with them. Royal prices fell 11%. Yeah. And what happened a couple of minutes before he did it? I read it. So all the data is there. That's right. Oh, the Trump teams. They don't know who did it. They bet what? A half a billion dollars? Well, I'm sure Cash Motel and Pam Bond, you're going to find out who did it and prosecute them. Don't you think? It's rigged. Yeah. Now to make it a thousand percent clear, how the banks did gangster. Oh, by the way, what happened to the Epstein stuff? Yeah. I forgot about that. All right. Yeah. Who says crime doesn't pay? Why did gold prices still die? And this is what you wrote. Once upon a time, not too long ago,

1:27:16JP Morgan Chase was fined for rigging the precious metals markets. Here is what Reuters reporting. So it's not out of my mouth. We wanted to put the clear from mainstream. JP Morgan, this is September 29th, 2020. JP Morgan Chase and company has agreed to pay more than $920 million and admitted to wrong doing to settle third of them of our probe into its trading of metal futures. They go on to say that the the bank for several years and marks a significant victory for the government suffered to clamp down on the illegal trading in the futures and precious metals market. They were rigging it. Oh, yeah. Oh, really? I'm Jamie Darnan. I'm the arrogant Jesus Stone. We can get $5.920 million. That was,

1:28:19I don't go to jail. Hey, pull over. Your backlight was off. Get out of your car. Still on your head. Repeat the alphabet backwards. You have anything to drink? You're going to jail. All right. Yeah. Or I might tell you, you shouldn't have a fullest for we, the people of slave land here, like scumbags, like pieces of criminals that rigged the precious metals market. Hey, take it easy, Selenty. I think we only got fined for what? Five felonies, JP Morgan Chase. That's right. Yeah. When you look at this, yeah, the house always wins with a casino, right? Except when it's Trump's casinos and they go bankrupt. But the house always wins when it's Trump's White House because they can rig the markets. It's not only Trump. It's one after another. Yeah. That's right. Oh, but you forget about Hunter Biden. Yeah. A little coke addict, drug deep, screwed up little pieces scum. Hey, I'm on the board of directors of Bruce

1:29:23Managing. You're great. Right after we over to the government. All right? All right. That's right. Who else got on that? Oh, Christopher Hines. Who? You mean Hines 57? Oh, yeah. You mean the stepson and law of carry the clown boy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Lurch. Yeah. John Kerry. Yeah. So carry a little piece of scum. Yeah. And you know, people, by the way, I'm getting black listed. No, people said calm down, Selenty. We don't like your language. And you get so angry. Oh, yeah. You wouldn't be angry if you're a little Lebanese and a million of you got thrown out of your homes. Oh, you'd be very happy. Don't be angry. Oh, you only killed over a thousand innocent people. Yeah. Don't get angry. Yeah. You need a we got a clown and arrogant line clown

1:30:31playing presidential reality show telling three hundred and forty three million people what to do. I'm the president. You do what I tell you. Oh, I forgot. Remember the COVID war. Hey, I'm Andy Cuomo. My daddy was the governor before me. Close down your business. Get back in your house. We got the COVID water fight. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. Remember that. That's right. That's right. Politician after another telling people what to do and all the regardless people follow their leader. We're stealing kindergarten. That's right. That's right. Do what I tell you. I'm your teacher time to take an app. I'm a tired time to take an app. That's right. I got a comment here from the way. I got a comment here from a listener, Gerald, that's for you said, please can you remind Gerald that Trump designated five hundred billion dollars to Ellison on a second day in office this term. Supposedly for the deadly demonic mRNA Frankenstein jabs that he used to buy TikTok and CBS.

1:31:36So yeah. And his very first act he brings in Larry Ellison. And he's got these guys. His focus now is on not just the abomination of the mRNA bio weapons, but he also wants to merge that with artificial intelligence. And he does that on his very first day in office. You know, we're going to have AI is going to custom design the poison for each and every one of you. And so that's what we are with this guy. And when you look at what's happening with the AI stuff, it's truly frightening, Gerald, what the Trump White House as well as Senator Marsha Blackburn, who is going to be our next governor here in Tennessee. There's nobody even to challenge her. They're putting out this. They want to get rid of any obstacles in anybody at the state or local level would put for artificial intelligence. And they want to fully weaponize and control it and centrally control it in Washington. And it's very frightening to see what these people are doing. It is the ultimate weapon. It is just like the mRNA stuff. It is a weapon against us. Oh, yeah. Again, love it, hate it,

1:32:42want it. Don't want it. AI is the future and the government's going to control more. And again, we're talking about gold. They're going to go to central bank digital currencies. See, you see, again, we're writing the articles into trends, journal, how the Trump teams on all of this stuff. Oh, stable coins. Yeah. Don't you think that's the way they're going to do it? I mean, they've come out kind of their cover has been blown to some degree here in the United States and Europe. They don't even care. They still call it central bank digital currency. But here, I think they're going to accomplish the same thing with the so-called stable coins and tell everybody, oh, it's not central bank digital currency. Don't worry. It's not that when functionally, there's no difference, really. It's just that they've cut themselves in on a big part of the profit rather than letting all the money be made by the Federal Reserve. Yep. And again, the Trump teams totally in it. Let me ask you this about what Iran is doing because they've been playing pretty smart in terms of not just military stuff, but also the economic asymmetric warfare. One of the things that they're talking about doing is setting this thing up as a toll area. And they're going to charge people

1:33:45to go through. They're going to charge people and you can go through if you pay in Chinese you want. And so it looks like they're trying to help the Chinese establish something similar to the petro dollar that we no longer have because we lost our partner on that Saudi Arabia. So Iran wants to be the partner of China in terms of setting up a petro you want. Looks like what do you think? Well, it's only going to go so far with it. But again, they've had enough of it. And the world is, people are suffering from this here. Again, I just read to you the day that Trump went on the air about the state of the Union address. Because you elected me, in most states, the price of gasoline, a gallon, $2.30. Now you don't worry about it, right? Now, we don't, now what I'm supposed to worry about it. Yeah. By the way, it was a lie. I looked it up.

1:34:50It was $2.92. Now what is it? I just went on the, before we went on triple A, $3.98 a gallon. Wow. That's the average average in America. And of course, when it was cheap, when it was cheap and it was bragging about it being cheap, it wasn't smart enough to fill up the strategic petroleum reserve gas tank before he goes to warn them in the lease and sets it on fire. What has he ever been smart enough doing? It's just, it is, when you go back and look at this, I mean, people are just going to be shaking their heads at the actions that he did, not even from a moral and a legal standpoint, but just from a pragmatic standpoint, what he's doing is so incredibly stupid. It's hilarious. Really? Again, it's one lie after another. You're asking me why gold is going down. Yeah. And it hasn't risen. They're lying. Remember that again, that little clown boy, Chris Wright,

1:35:53the energy secretary. Yeah. I quote, Chris wrong. A little jerk lying, lying right in front of everybody's eyes. We've got US naval forces bringing tankers, oil tankers through the state of course. Down goes oil prices. A car lie. Yeah, he must have overheard. He must have heard Trump talking about escorts and he thought he was actually talking about ships. He's talking about anchors in DC, but yeah, I've got a comment from one of our listeners here saying he talks to his relatives and they say they're MAGA people and they say, yeah, you know, it's either it's, we pay it now. We pay it later. He says, I'm so sick and tired of hearing this. They don't care what he does. You know, we hear this. This is a sound bite that everybody's repeating. Short-term pain, long-term gain. This is going to be a long-term pain. Absolutely. It's going to be long-term. Yeah. This is a honest, targeted country's course to rubber and response. US President

1:36:56Donald Trump claimed, quote, that many countries would send warships to the straight to defense shipping in a post on truth, truth, social media, truth. How about live social media? And that hopefully you ready? China, France, Japan, South Korea, Britain and others will send vessels. This is what he wrote. Yeah. Meanwhile, he warned that quote, the US, you ready? We'll be bombing the hell out of the shoreline and one way or the other, we will soon get the straight forward moves open, safe and free. I bet Trump has never even seen a picture of the shoreline. You wouldn't be thinking of sending troops in if you'd ever seen a picture of the topography that's there. The mountain ranges that are right there at the edge and so forth. You know, there was Gerald, there was the guy who was a former highest-ranking French official on NATO and he was on a program in France and the guy who was asking him, so we're going to help

1:37:58Trump with straight or four moves and he's like, not a chance. He started giving reasons. First of all, the guy doesn't realize that if this is a NATO operation, it's a joint operation and he needs to, first of all, tell us what his plans are if he's got any, but he doesn't have any. He's got, first of all, have some plans and he's got to coordinate that with us so that we're not all doing our own thing and interfering with each other and he goes, he can't do any of that. He said, what he's doing is he's selling dance tickets on the Titanic after it's already hit the iceberg. And he said, he's not looking for military assistance. He's looking for political assistance. That's really true. I thought it was very astute of the guy. He said, he's looking for political cover, not military cover. That's it. Yeah. By the way, you see the cover talking about the straight of her moves. Yeah. You got Trump in a boat. That's right. So the, so the cover Travis, if you can. Yeah, Washington crossed the Delaware. Well, Trump will draft Dodger Trump. We said, I'm not afraid of anything. Yeah, Washington crossed the Delaware. Trump

1:39:05double crossed the US, didn't he? Yeah. And again, this is an illegal, unconstitutional war. Yes. Again, you go back to a couple of weeks ago, the trends journal cover. Why did Trump says, it was my opinion, opinion that Iran was going to attack us first. Your opinion. How about showing us the facts? I don't have to show you the facts. Again, this is the arrogance, not my language is. There's a couple of months, about a month ago. The New York Times asked if there were any limits to his global power. Mr. Trump said, yeah, there's only one thing. My own morality, my own mind. It's the only thing that could stop me. You ready? I don't need international law. Yeah. If I said that, this guy, who the hell is he to say he doesn't need

1:40:08international law? Who the hell is he to say only his own mind? I'm Trump. I mean, how can he get away with this? Yeah. It's going to be another no Kings rally over the weekend, I think. But what we really need is no princes either because we've got all these bureaucrats just at the beginning of the show, I talked about how it's constantly one thing after the other, these people are banning. And I don't know if you saw this yet or not, Gerald, but they just announced that the FCC is going to ban most routers that are sold in the United States because they're not made in the United States. So they said it's a security issue for people. And so yeah, it's a security issue because they want to be the ones who have the back door to your routers and that type of thing. But it's crazy. They just go through and they willingly ban whatever they wish. What gives them the right to do that? Where do we even have the authority for the FCC to even exist? We have this I'm trying to say,

1:41:10we got clowns telling us what to do on and on and on again, look at the COVID war. Oh, they Trump launched by the way on what? We talked this a thousand times. On March 13th, Black Friday, 2020, state emergency, and then sold the Operation Warped Speed Jam, Operation Warped Speed. How can you be dissu- why? I believe in him. Yeah, again, you trends journal. Again, this is, again, we're working back. Warped Speed for the slow thinkers, yeah. Again, lies, lies, prices it risen to nearly $120. I mentioned this. This is from the trends journal. Late Sunday, after runs started striking oil tankers traversing the streets of Ramos and Iraq and Kuwait where they shut down oil production. Again, lies, lies, and more lies spewed out by Trump and his gang to do what they can to rig the equities and commodities markets for all to see. Therefore, except, therefore, except the lies keep coming, which truth will be

1:42:14untold, with major concerns that oil markets are being rigged by Washington. Yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson told CNBC that the administration had no plans to intervene in financial markets and may not have the authority to do so, even if it wanted. We write no plans. Does that mean the plans could change? How about saying we would never do anything like that? That's right. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we haven't done that yet. You're not having the authority. How about you don't have the authority? Yeah. And right again, look what just happened when Trump said that he's, I forget $48, so I'm gonna find more days. Yeah. And they all of a sudden, a half a billion dollars to short the markets. Yeah, why not everybody's eyes? Yeah, one and a half billion. Yeah, that's right. Well, you know, certainly, they're manipulating

1:43:16the markets. We've talked about this in the past. What about some other assets, other issues as well? I think that there's a lot of people who are looking at oil and thinking, yeah, this is going to be a surefire double in just a couple of months. So maybe they may be pulling some money out of the gold holdings that they've got to put it into oil. Another thing I want to get you to take on, what about the golf states? I mean, these guys are seeing their income being blown up and blocked off. And so I think there's a lot of golf states out that need some liquidity. They might be selling their massive holdings and gold as well. What do you think about that? That's very true. And they are selling. And not only that, a lot of people that would play in the gold markets and play the stock markets. And the stocks, but again, again, we wrote in the Trends Journal magazine before Trump gave a state of the Union address. We had all the poll data in there. And we said, this thing's going down when all those fails, they take it or war. Yeah, that's right.

1:44:17What happened was when the markets were going down before this, again, we call the .com bust. And you're seeing, you're seeing what's going on with the private equity groups. It can't follow one after another. Oh, what did Moody's just downgraded KKR? Really? Yeah, junk to junk. Well, that's David Patress where he hangs out. You got it. No, no, no, no, you didn't say his name right. It's David betrayed us. Yes, he did. Absolutely did. And of course, the the Kravitz guy or whatever and betray us, regulars at the Bilderberg conference, always there. It's truly amazing. Well, gold has been a safe haven. And I think that's why a lot of people are surprised that we had a bad week. It was like the worst week that had 43 years in terms of gold going down. Of course, it's still up over the last couple of months over the last year, up significantly.

1:45:17All of the fundamental stuff that is there in terms of long term perspective are still there and even stronger. And so when I look at it, I see gold as being on sale. I don't know what you see when you look at it. Hello, do we lose Gerald? I guess we did. Okay. Well, on that cliffhanger, we'll try to reestablish contact with them. But that's the way I see it. When you look at all the different things that are happening is the is the American problem with debt and inflation, is that better now that we've got a war or is that worse? You know, all the things that have put us there, all of these different factors have gotten much worse. And so again, I just look at situations like this, the markets play everything for the short term. They run on a rumour and somebody points to something and they all dash to that particular thing. And then they react

1:46:20to the reality. It takes them a very long time to react to the reality of it. If you go back and look at what happened with gold during the OPEC crisis, even with price of oil, it took a while from people to adjust to the reality of it going back to the OPEC 1973 oil embargo. Now with this Trump oil embargo, it's taking people a while to get their head around where this stuff is happening. The long term, you're not going to see long-term trends in the marketplace. They're going to react to what is happening immediately. It's like if you remember up where they had the device, where the dogs, you could hear what the dogs were thinking, verbalized it. And they'd be talking about something and then all of a sudden squirrel. That is the stock market. That is the commodity market. And he got a lot of people as Gerald was saying that are playing it in terms of timing. And so they're going to jump from gold into oil or whatever. And they're going to, and again, there's a lot of really big sovereign holders in the Gulf states. They kind of

1:47:21be looking at this and saying, what are we going to do in terms of liquid income in order to keep ourselves afloat here? They got to liquidate gold right now. And I think that's what we're seeing right now. A lot of selling pressure on that. Well, we're still still trying to get to Gerald Suntion. But as I look at that, again, go to DavidNight.gold and they'll take you to Tony Arden. And he can help you get some physical gold. And so we're not the tokenized stuff, not the paper stuff either. Don't settle for substitutes. Get the real thing. Get the real thing that you have physical possession of. That's where the real gold value is. Having physical possession is as good as gold. And there isn't anything that is going to be as good as that that is going to be a token or a share in some kind of a fund that is there. While we're waiting for Gerald to come on, I want to get back to what we're talking about with the war, as a matter of fact. Let's go back to, here it is right here. This is where I left off. Just talking about Trump

1:48:25and his idea that he is, they're supposedly talking to these people and yet there's no evidence that he's talking to them. He is still out there boasting about what he's doing as a matter of fact. We've won this war has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news. I mean, the New York Times, you read the New York Times. It's like we're not winning a war where they have no Navy and they have no Air Force and they have no nothing. And we literally have planes flying over to Iran and other parts of their country. They can't do a thing about it. For instance, if I want to take down that power plant, that very big powerful power plant, they can't do a thing about it. It's like, take me. That's all they can do. And yet if you read the New York Times or if you watch ABC fake news or NBC fake news, you'd say it's a close battle. It's not a close battle. Well, there's not anybody that says that the U.S. is winning except for

1:49:26Ben Shapiro and he is nothing other than a Zionist propagandist. Nobody questions that as well. As a matter of fact, within Trump's administration, one of the reasons that he may genuinely believe that he's winning because he's surrounded by sycophants and psychopaths. Look at this interplay here with, you've got Stephen Miller who is just falling all over himself, flattering Trump and praising Trump. And then Trump turns to, let's see, what was the other person that was there? He turns to the next guy and he said, a cactus hotel. I think it was. He says, can you do better than that? And he tries his best. The work that President Trump is doing, not only in Memphis, not only in Washington DC, but all over the country. Ultimately, it will save and is saving tens of thousands of American lives. It is. I'll use that word again. What President Trump has done on border security and public safety is a national miracle that will be studied not only for

1:50:28generations, but for centuries to come. Thank you, President Trump. Yeah, it will be studied for centuries to come, but not for the reasons he said. Chief, you can top that. I don't know. Come on. Get with a sycophantcy, right? You know, Mr. President, as I look around this venue, I see, and I'm reminded again why we have the greatest warriors on God's brain earth, the men and women serving in uniform, the men and women serving and wearing the badge and law enforcement, our police, our sheriffs around, the state of Tennessee. I'm reminded that Americans exist to protect this country day in and day out, and they've done it like we've done it here. But what we didn't have was you. We didn't have a commander in chief who backed the blue, who resourced the blue, who funded the military, who did whatever it takes to safeguard every single life. And here in Memphis, Tennessee, you have put on a show for the world. You have allowed us to go on gang bangers, rapists, murderers, drug dealers at record, historic levels. It's not anybody that was with Epstein. The American kid, his parents let a

1:51:30genocide in East Africa to become the ninth director of the FBI. I'm living the wildest dream you could possibly imagine, sir, but it's thanks to you. But more importantly, what I see when I look out across our great partners here in the interagency and our great legislatures and our great prosecutors and our great attorney general has the guts to go out there and make a rest, turn them into prosecutions and put people in prison. You are giving that dream to every single child in the state of Tennessee. You are inspiring the nation and law enforcement to come up and wear the badge and wear the colors of this country and safeguard our men and women for generations to come. That's right. This is the dream. He's living the dream, this little frat boy. And you too can grow up and become the director of the FBI and take planes around the world, go play golf in Scotland and take your girlfriend across the country and go to the hockey game at the Olympics and get drunk and all the rest of you too can live the dream. That's what this is all about. That's why these people are such sycophants to him because of what they're getting out of this. And of course,

1:52:31when Trump is talking about how he's winning the headline from Daily Mail is Trump claims Iran agreed to give up their nukes as his war chief, Pete fumes. And Trump says, he didn't want it to be settled. He said, Pete didn't want this whole thing to be settled. And we noticed that, we noticed that this guy is literally trying to embrace the values of being a terrorist. Close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one. And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs. You have a choice as we loiter off the top of Tehran as the president talked about about your future. President has made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon. The war department agrees our job is to ensure that. And yeah, that's it. As a matter of fact, you had a retired military, another retired military talking about war Pete. I say, this guy is just pushing it into war crimes.

1:53:33And he's endangering our own people as well. He also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our war fighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. Those are the words of a potential war criminal, the so-called major general. And that is not the advice and counsel and direction that any secretary of defense should be providing our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. It puts them actually in greater danger. The Secretary of Defense is a disgraced major that was kicked out of the DC National Guard. He has no qualifications whatsoever to be the Secretary of Defense, other than his extreme loyalty to the president. Again, those are the words of a potential war criminal. And again, it's, you know, there's no credentials except for his extreme loyalty to the president. You could say he's saying they're at Kash Patel and Dan Baudino and I'm bonding the rest of them. And I think we got Joel Sinti back with us. Joel, are you there?

1:54:35I'm back here. We had a little problem with the internet here. Okay, great, great. All right, so before I was telling you, the equity markets are going down, going back to gold. A lot of people, you know, they're playing the gold markets doing the futures markets, et cetera. They're losing money so they had to pull it out of there. That's what brought down a lot of the prices. That's right. They got to cover their positions, yeah. And then they're selling the lie that because the United States, the dollars going up, so that means it's more safe to buy treasuries, et cetera, because it's going for the dollar. That's a lot of belonging. Did you see the article that came out unfortunate that showing that the real debt to GDP level in the United States, the real debt level in the United States is $143 trillion, not $39 trillion or $38 trillion. Oh, yeah. The unfunded liabilities like Social Security, right? Exactly. Yeah. So going back to Trump, you know, the gentleman was just saying about Heggson. This is March 4th. Remember, the war begins on February 28th. So what, three, four

1:55:41days later, he goes, they are toast, they know it, or they will know it soon enough. All right, you ready? This is him. Iran's senior leaders are dead. The so-called governing council that would have selected successors, Heggson added are dead, missing and cowering in bunkers, too terrified to even occupy the same room. Iran officials cannot talk or communicate, let alone mount a coordinated, sustained offensive. That was March 4th. As soon as he says stuff like that, they immediately release a massive barrage against other people, you know, we've taken out all the missile launchers and then they say he said it's so obvious that he's lying to everybody about it. And it's really Trump is the one who's toast, but and he's constantly being buttered up on both sides by these sycophants that he's put around

1:56:43himself. No, again, this is going back before. President Trump said there would be no deal to end the U.S. war against Iran without you ready? Unconditional surrender. That's what he was saying before. This is a quote on what they call truth social, lie social, quote, after that and the selection of a great and acceptable all in capital's leader, we and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better and stronger than ever before. This is kind of crappy rights. Yeah. It's so full of boasting and bragging and it is so empty. It's so tiresome. I think what is going to happen. I'm really I'm really concerned because I think the Democrats can pretty much run

1:57:44the most radical people on the left and get elected this. As the thing is going to drag on Iran. So we're going to get whipsawed to the other side of this thing, I think. Yep. Yeah. This is going back. President Trump boasted on Tuesday that U.S. strikes, quote, had knocked out most of Iran's military. Unbelievable. It's just one lie after another. That's right. Remember this one? March 4th. Trump, any potential next leader of Iran, you ready? Just ends up dead. Well, yeah. And that's the thing that really discussed me too is Warpete, Hegseth. Just like that clip I was playing the guy says, you know, this is not only a war crime, but it is also making it more dangerous for our own soldiers, right? If you're going to kill everybody, when you capture them, rather than giving them humane treatment, as we've all agreed to do, you want to go to total unlimited war. You're going to

1:58:48machine gun people in the water. And this goes back to before the Iran situation. This goes back to their other war of aggression against Venezuela and attacking people that were no threat to them. And then going around, even if you didn't kill them, you circle back around and murder them as their shipwrecked. This has always been considered to be a war crime. And I think it's going to be kind of interesting to see some of these people get some criminal referrals to the international criminal court. Not that they'll necessarily get there because Netanyahu's got one, but he hasn't had to stand before them. But they did get Duterte out of the Philippines. He was a guy that was big hero to Trump because he was shooting people on the streets if he just thought that they were a drug dealer. And so now he's answering to an international criminal court. He's in the docket. He will probably go to jail for that. But I'd wait and see if people get upset enough with Trump, they might hand him over. Who knows? Again, you should imagine drug dealers had nothing to do with that. It was stealing their oil. That's right. That's right. They lied about

1:59:50this drug dealing crap. By the way, they killed a couple of people last week and both too. Yeah. But again, as I said, you think we would invade a rock Syria and Libya if their major export was broccoli? That's right. Absolutely right. It's the safety with Venezuela. Again, my book, Trend Tracking, bought better than Megatrends. Time magazine. I write about how I became a trend forecaster. And it's right here. You're on conflict right here. It's 1978-79. People had no idea the United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Muhammad Moza in 1953 because he had the nerve to say that the oil in Iran belonged to the Iranian people. Yeah, I'm so tired of hearing this 47 year. I'm so tired of hearing this 47 year thing. People don't understand anything at all about that. It was a great article, by the way, from David Stockman, who said I was in Reagan administration. I understand what we were doing to Iran then as well. He talks about it.
