The Alex Jones Show Live - Matt Bracken Warns Americans To Prepare For An Economic⧸Energy Crisis To Arrive In America!

00:00:00.000 How does Trump go from being, you know, make America great again to saying, I might go to Israel and become, you know, the next prime minister of Israel?

00:00:09.600 Does he really believe this?

00:00:11.000 I think he does.

00:00:11.700 I don't think he's just making this up.

00:00:13.600 That's how, in his mind, he's transformed himself.

00:00:16.420 So you might start with being blackmailed or secondhand smoke blackmailed like some of my key friends like Howard Lutnick.

00:00:26.720 They are definitely going to be sacrificed if all these Epstein files come out.

00:00:31.940 They're going to go down with the ship. 0.60

00:00:34.500 So we're going to hold off on the Epstein files, go after Massey in Kentucky.

00:00:40.060 But eventually, I think that Trump would not now, if you had him under a sodium pentothal, sodium barbital truth serum,

00:00:52.040 I don't think he would say he was being blackmailed anymore.

00:00:55.120 He just said that Netanyahu will do whatever I say.

00:01:01.100 I think a transformation happens in the mind where somebody who might come to a point of view under duress, it's, you know, it's not even a new thing.

00:01:13.120 They give him the orders and he's convinced himself he gives the orders back.

00:01:16.700 That's right.

00:01:17.420 And it's a rationalizing process, because the mind, if it has to handle too much cognitive dissonance, is going to snap.

00:01:26.080 So you wind up going from being blackmailed to thinking, I have 5D chest and the Israelis, and now Netanyahu is actually my puppet.

00:01:39.720 Which we know is completely wrong, because in the first week or so after February 28th, our sneak attack, Rubio and Trump both said, we did this because Israel said, we're going to attack you no matter what.

00:01:54.900 Trump said it again two times last week that he had to do it for Israel.

00:01:58.780 That's right.

00:01:59.940 But now he's saying, Netanyahu will do whatever I say, and I may run.

00:02:06.800 He's kind of joking, but it's like his mindset.

00:02:09.720 He believes the polls that are favorable to him, and he dismisses the polls that are disfavorable to him as fake news.

00:02:17.820 And he quoted or mentioned some poll that said, I have 99% favorability in Israel.

00:02:24.000 Well, that's not necessarily a great thing because Israel has like zero favorability in the rest of the world.

00:02:30.880 But Matt, 35,000 foot view, 100,000 foot view

00:02:40.020 What's happening? 0.75

00:02:42.540 Everything we predicted is Trader Hormuz, Iran

00:02:44.680 The economy, Massey

00:02:47.580 In general, where are we right now, Matt?

00:02:50.560 And what's coming up?

00:02:53.320 I'm going to talk about all that

00:02:54.780 But, you know, I was listening

00:02:55.780 And the car before last was talking about

00:02:58.780 Is Trump blackmailed?

00:03:00.120 You know, what explains this transformation?

00:03:04.340 And since I'm one with you and you're from, you're in Austin, Texas, I've been rereading this lately.

00:03:12.760 I have the paperback.

00:03:14.460 This is called, this is a Texan from 1870, 1879, Nine Years Among the Indians by Herman Lehman, captured by Apaches, right?

00:03:25.720 They knew, it's this book right here, they knew the Comanches and Apaches,

00:03:31.680 and if they captured, before the word Stockholm Syndrome was ever a thing,

00:03:37.940 they knew that if they captured boys, even if boys had seen their parents killed,

00:03:42.920 they could completely bring them over and they'd become, in their mind, Comanches or Apaches.

00:03:48.120 This happened over and over again.

00:03:49.580 Another great book published in Austin, Texas in 1889.

00:03:55.500 This is like a reprint, Indian Depredations in Texas.

00:03:59.460 So this is like a collection of all kind of essays and short books

00:04:06.340 because the people then thought nobody in the future is going to believe this.

00:04:10.600 If we don't write this down, they'll never believe it.

00:04:13.300 So this is 1889, stories of what was going on in Texas.

00:04:16.600 and my point is

00:04:19.080 people used to be very tough

00:04:20.880 but they even knew then

00:04:23.260 that if somebody was captured

00:04:25.380 their mind could be

00:04:27.500 Stockholm Syndrome completely over

00:04:29.860 John Wayne made a movie

00:04:31.760 about little girls being captured

00:04:33.180 The Searchers

00:04:33.720 Great movie

00:04:36.580 and it shows that Texas spirit

00:04:39.280 that they're not going to run us out

00:04:41.100 no matter if they got

00:04:42.360 if the next settlers are going to plant

00:04:45.020 on top of our bones

00:04:46.180 They're never going to run us out.

00:04:48.600 And another great movie, maybe even better, that's not well known, is a Burt Lancaster movie called Ulzana's Raid.

00:04:56.560 Also covers that.

00:04:58.660 But I think that when people are, maybe Trump began as being blackmailed, or not necessarily even him being blackmailed.

00:05:09.020 But he spoke about, you know, his friends Howard and other people would be ruined by this.

00:05:13.960 the human mind rationalizes you don't want to you can't go through life saying no he's becoming

00:05:20.480 an israeli he said i'm gonna be the next israeli prime minister today so you instead of saying i'm

00:05:27.060 blackmailed and i'm under duress the human mind finds a way to say no i'm not being blackmailed

00:05:34.720 i chose this you know that these kids that were kidnapped primarily by comanches and apaches

00:05:40.880 most in Texas, in the 1870s, 1880s, until the reservation really came in.

00:05:47.980 These kids would be like, quote-unquote, rescued.

00:05:50.840 They would escape back to the Comanches.

00:05:52.780 They were so in their mind brainwashed.

00:05:56.100 They would have to basically do that, what do they used to call that,

00:05:59.740 the deprogramming for Moonies or other cult members.

00:06:05.520 It's the same thing with the left.

00:06:06.640 They're literally under Stockholm Syndrome.

00:06:09.020 Totally under Stockholm Syndrome. 0.91

00:06:10.400 And to the point where white boys are scalping American white settlers, along with Comanches and Apaches. 0.87

00:06:18.400 They're in their mind.

00:06:19.940 So if Trump began by being, you know, and it's not blackmail like somebody comes in and says, if you don't do this, we're going to do this.

00:06:28.840 It's much more subtle.

00:06:29.940 Oh, we're going to protect you, sir.

00:06:32.140 When they planted child porn on us, we suppose it was them.

00:06:34.500 They go, we want to help you.

00:06:35.500 Let's be friends now.

00:06:36.440 And write what it was.

00:06:37.500 Yeah, but over time, over a period of years, the human mind rationalizes, they're not making

00:06:46.880 me do it, I'm actually the king of the Israelis.

00:06:50.860 You know, I've mastered them, they didn't bring me to doing this, I'm bringing them

00:06:57.280 to do this.

00:06:59.180 Because the mind doesn't want to snap, it doesn't want to go crazy and say, I can't

00:07:04.260 handle the cognitive dissonance.

00:07:06.400 You've hit on something key here, Matt Bracken.

00:07:09.920 Explain this when we come back.

00:07:11.220 You've got the floor.

00:07:12.400 Then the war room in 55 minutes with Aaronson Smith.

00:07:14.980 Stay with us and share the feeds.

00:07:16.520 Here are the Paul Revere's.

00:07:17.460 And now, Matt Bracken, former Navy SEAL, best-selling author,

00:07:20.380 breaks down the geopolitical crises that is deepening.

00:07:23.240 The end of an age.

00:07:24.600 The Great Reset.

00:07:25.640 We are here.

00:07:26.240 Yeah, in the last part with Alex, I was talking about these, you know,

00:07:32.900 You think, how in the world do you connect Comanches and Apaches in the 1870s to what's

00:07:38.700 going on today?

00:07:40.740 Just listening the last hour this afternoon, one caller was saying that a lot of his rich

00:07:50.280 delivery clients were becoming preppers, filling up their garages with food and prepper supplies,

00:07:57.420 not to flee, but to just make their house an outpost.

00:08:02.300 definitely a good idea for anybody at any level. I always preach, you know, do you know where your

00:08:07.860 water comes from? You know, it's great that you have 10 AR-15s, but, you know, if you're out of

00:08:14.200 water a week after grid down, your guns aren't going to help much. It's old paradigm. You know,

00:08:23.680 what happens if the bullets outlast the beans? You know, what happens if people are still shooting

00:08:29.080 when there's no more food to buy or steal from anybody, you know, then what?

00:08:35.560 So, yeah, it's good.

00:08:37.580 Everybody should be a prepper.

00:08:39.420 But the times that are coming, I think, that, you know,

00:08:43.700 are going to be something that nobody in the modern era has experienced.

00:08:48.620 And the people that have experienced something very close to it

00:08:52.060 are probably among the refugees that have come to this country, you know,

00:08:57.460 that have survived periods, you know, literally drinking ditch water, watching family members

00:09:05.740 killed, things like that. Mentally, they're going to be a lot tougher. And I got onto this,

00:09:11.980 this theme with Alex, because two callers ago in the last hour, a caller was saying how, you know,

00:09:19.420 we're trying to figure out is Trump in blackmailed? You know, what's the hold that they have on him?

00:09:25.480 and and by coincidence i've been i've been rereading this amazing book by um herman layman

00:09:33.400 l-e-h-m-a-n-n he's a member he's part of texas history this is not something written you know

00:09:40.000 recently i'm just on my kindle this is not some new thing right this guy is in texas history

00:09:47.240 The Texas Rangers that wrote biographies, they met 20, 30 years after all this

00:09:54.800 and discussed the same battles that they were in.

00:09:58.060 White boy with Apaches and then Comanches, captured by Apaches,

00:10:03.140 literally sold to Comanches.

00:10:06.060 But they knew, they understood this was not something that they just came up with,

00:10:12.500 That if, you know, starting with capturing from enemy tribes and then just capturing from the white settlers, if you captured a boy, you know, say, 9, 10 years old, he has to be able to ride.

00:10:26.680 He has to be able to at least survive. 0.88

00:10:28.720 They were very harsh people. 1.00

00:10:30.280 I'm not trying to just come down on the, you know, the Comanches, Kiowas, Apaches, and so forth. 1.00

00:10:37.460 Just saying what it was.

00:10:38.840 they wouldn't, they couldn't keep anybody like say under 10 years old because they couldn't

00:10:44.800 keep up.

00:10:45.800 They couldn't endure the hardship of life on the run on horseback.

00:10:50.220 And if you were too old, they didn't bother either because, you know, by the time you're

00:10:54.080 17 or 18, you're too set.

00:10:55.960 But if they captured a say 10 to 15 year old boy, even if this boy saw his parents massacred,

00:11:03.380 they could put him through such an ordeal, surviving on horseback, you know, fleeing

00:11:07.740 Texas Rangers for days, starvation conditions.

00:11:12.660 After a period of weeks and months, Stockholm Syndrome would kick in and eventually these

00:11:18.140 boys became Comanches and Apaches.

00:11:20.160 It wasn't a one off.

00:11:21.580 This happened to dozens of peoples and girls too.

00:11:25.120 In that John Wayne movie, The Searchers, the girl who's kidnapped doesn't want to come

00:11:29.980 back. 1.00

00:11:30.980 She's completely in with the Comanches. 0.98

00:11:35.760 So what's the point of this? 0.99

00:11:37.700 How does Trump go from being, you know, make America great again to saying, I might go

00:11:42.280 to Israel and become, you know, the next prime minister of Israel?

00:11:47.460 Does he really believe this?

00:11:48.460 I think he does.

00:11:49.460 I don't think he's just making this up.

00:11:51.180 That's how, in his mind, he's transformed himself.

00:11:54.440 So you might start with being blackmailed or secondhand smoke blackmailed, like some

00:12:02.280 of my key friends, like Howard Lutnick, they are definitely going to be sacrificed if all

00:12:07.180 these Epstein files come out. They're going to go down with the ship. So we're going to

00:12:12.720 hold off on the Epstein files, go after Massey in Kentucky. But eventually, I think that

00:12:20.100 Trump would not now, if you had him under a sodium pentothal, sodium barbital truth serum,

00:12:29.740 I don't think he would say he was being blackmailed anymore. He just said that Netanyahu will 0.51

00:12:36.660 do whatever i say i think a transformation happens in the mind where somebody who who

00:12:43.640 might come to a point of view under duress it's we you know that it's like they give him the orders

00:12:50.940 and he's convinced himself he gives the orders back that's right and it's it's a rationalizing

00:12:56.420 process because the mind if it has to handle too much cognitive dissonance is going to snap

00:13:02.940 So you wind up going from being blackmailed to thinking, I have 5D chest and the Israelis, and now Netanyahu is actually my puppet, which we know is completely wrong, because in the first week or so after February 28th, our sneak attack, Rubio and Trump both said, we did this because Israel said, we're going to attack him.

00:13:32.240 Trump said it again two times last week that he had to do it for Israel.

00:13:36.260 That's right.

00:13:37.660 But now he's saying Netanyahu will do whatever I say, and I may run.

00:13:44.240 He's kind of joking, but it's like his mindset.

00:13:47.320 He believes the polls that are favorable to him,

00:13:50.180 and he dismisses the polls that are disfavorable to him as fake news.

00:13:55.280 And he quoted or mentioned some poll that said,

00:13:58.420 I have 99% favorability in Israel.

00:14:00.920 Well, that's not necessarily a great thing because Israel has, like, zero favorability in the rest of the world.

00:14:09.100 You know, this is like, you know, the Imperial Japanese saying that, you know, some warlord in China is on our side.

00:14:16.080 Or, you know, the Nazis saying that, you know, the Latvians are on our side in World War II.

00:14:23.280 I mean, it's not exactly a ringing endorsement.

00:14:25.420 When you see these pictures and drone videos of Gaza, and they look like Dresden, it's a non-nuclear Hiroshima done one 2,000-pound bomb at a time. 0.86

00:14:39.440 And the 2,000-pound bombs all say made in America. 0.67

00:14:43.340 And all the airplanes that dropped the 2,000-pound bombs were made in America and given to Israel under extremely favorable conditions, virtually gifts. 0.53

00:14:53.260 So to the rest of the world now, there is no difference between America and Israel when it comes to this policy. 0.71

00:15:01.980 You know, the world is aware that we gave those bombs to Israel. 0.80

00:15:07.100 We're still flying those bombs to Israel. 0.84

00:15:10.700 You know, there's that air fleet crossing the Atlantic, the C-17s, you know, going into Ben-Gurion Airport. 0.56

00:15:17.480 We even gave Israel, this is like a really a red line.

00:15:22.460 We gave them refuelers, which extends their range. 0.94

00:15:26.680 If you wanted to contain Israel, say, within a defensive perimeter, you'd say, all right, we gave you F-16s, we gave you some F-35s, but they have a short range. 0.97

00:15:36.080 And whatever you can do within that range, that's fine. 0.95

00:15:38.180 But when you give them refuelers, tankers, you're now allowing them to lily pad, leapfrog, you know, far outside of Israel so that they could even strike Iran itself on their own. 0.71

00:15:51.120 And then we're in the position of saying, well, what can we do? Netanyahu is going to attack Iran. 0.51

00:15:57.300 So we had to attack with them. But, you know, in the end, this is extremely self-defeating because, you know, 0.98

00:16:04.160 But, I mean, going back to, like, Genghis Khan and probably the Babylonians, there's a reason why you didn't kill diplomats, you didn't kill ambassadors, you didn't kill negotiators.

00:16:14.400 You don't even assassinate the enemy king, because, you know, it may be a tactical victory this weekend. 0.55

00:16:21.700 Yay, we killed Khamenei, the 90-year-old supreme leader.

00:16:26.300 But after that, nobody's going to trust you to negotiate with you.

00:16:30.640 You may decide later, well, we need to negotiate.

00:16:34.440 Well, nobody's going to negotiate with you because you've proven that your word is no good

00:16:39.860 and that you'll even go to the extent of doing assassination missile strikes during negotiations.

00:16:47.780 It's like Friday in Oman.

00:16:49.560 Hey, things are going pretty good.

00:16:51.060 We'll see you on Monday in Geneva.

00:16:53.420 Yeah, see you Monday in Geneva.

00:16:55.520 And then Saturday, boom, we're dropping Tomahawk missiles on a school in Minab, Iraq, or Iran, near the Persian Gulf.

00:17:08.480 We say we didn't mean to, and it was just an accident, but that's kind of hollow when it's part of a sneak attack.

00:17:16.540 You've had months to plan every one of these strikes, and you just say, oh, well, we're using a very old map.

00:17:23.160 You know, my kids grew up part of their lives on military bases.

00:17:30.180 My kids went to DOD schools in San Diego, in Guam, in Charleston.

00:17:35.560 My kids went to schools on military bases.

00:17:39.840 Can you imagine what we would think if during Pearl Harbor, not only did they hit ships, you know, in Pearl Harbor,

00:17:48.400 but they hit a school and killed 160 grade school kids?

00:17:53.160 I mean, we would still be talking about that, but our media is like, Matt, who cares?

00:17:59.720 You know, we've been at war with them since 47 years, so if we want to do a sneak attack,

00:18:04.660 it's all good. 1.00

00:18:05.540 This is really stupid. 1.00

00:18:07.280 I don't care if you have the most brutal, you know, kill them all, let God sort them 1.00

00:18:12.820 out mentality. 1.00

00:18:14.240 It's self-defeating in the end.

00:18:17.460 Sometimes you're going to have to finally sit down and negotiate, and nobody's going

00:18:22.640 negotiate with people that do assassination, quote-unquote, decapitation, missile strikes

00:18:28.960 during negotiations.

00:18:31.600 And so Trump, at the beginning, he was obviously, at least it's obvious to me, he was convinced

00:18:38.480 by Netanyahu and Mossad that the Iranians would fold in a couple of days, that another

00:18:47.640 leader who was more sympathetic to the West would come to the top. Well, the Israelis 0.55

00:18:55.660 bombed that guy's house. Ahmadinejad, I forget his name. But they bombed his house. They

00:19:02.140 knew this was never going to happen. This was completely a ruse to bring America into 0.73

00:19:08.140 the war on the side of Israel. Because Israel's goal is not a regime change in Iran. Israel's

00:19:16.700 goal is the destruction of Iran as a civilization, as a sovereign nation, as any threat to Israel 0.62

00:19:25.420 even hypothetically in the future, to turn it into another Libya, a Syria, a Lebanon, 0.89

00:19:32.260 a Gaza. 0.79

00:19:33.740 And they don't have the power to do it. 0.98

00:19:36.020 So they need to get the big 500 pound dumb gorilla on their side to do it for them. 0.91

00:19:42.760 And that's unfortunately the USA. 0.95

00:19:46.700 And, you know, and this is not like a zero-sum game where we can just continue this like, oh, it's a stalemate. 0.92

00:19:53.400 We're blockading them.

00:19:54.940 They're blockading the Strait of Hormuz. 1.00

00:19:56.680 We're blockading Iran. 0.85

00:19:58.060 This is not a zero-sum game because every week that's going on, the levels of fuel out in the world are going down. 0.96

00:20:11.260 There hasn't been a ship that's left the Persian Gulf with very few, like less than 10%.

00:20:16.500 maybe 5% since February 28. And this is like a lifeline to the world. So this is not like just

00:20:24.740 Vietnam where we can do this for 7 years, 10 years, 12 years. This is not Iraq or Afghanistan

00:20:33.100 or Iraq where we can just bleed treasure into the sand until we're tired of it. Because the

00:20:39.360 whole world is going down on this one. And this is going to all be reflected back on America.

00:20:46.500 You see the same morons that are basically saying, I don't care if it was a sneak attack, man. 0.99

00:20:54.180 I don't care if it was worse than Pearl Harbor. 1.00

00:20:56.960 Trump actually joked with the prime minister of Japan, the female prime minister,

00:21:02.200 joked with her in the White House about Pearl Harbor, joked about it, joked about Pearl Harbor.

00:21:07.520 I grew up, Pearl Harbor was a horrible thing.

00:21:10.380 It was, you know, don't blame us for Hiroshima because you started at Pearl Harbor. 0.89

00:21:15.500 And I know it's much more complicated than that, and I know we put sanctions on them, and we were starving them. 0.87

00:21:21.180 I get it, of oil and metals. I get it.

00:21:26.780 But when I grew up, my generation grew up, it began on December 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor.

00:21:34.820 Because whatever else was politics, economics, but you attacked our base in Pearl Harbor. 0.64

00:21:41.560 So, four years later, we nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 0.99

00:21:45.800 Sucks to be you. 0.97

00:21:47.020 You started it. 1.00

00:21:48.060 We finished it.

00:21:48.820 That was the whole way of understanding our war against Japan. 0.98

00:21:53.920 You started it. 0.98

00:21:54.820 We finished it.

00:21:56.200 Now we have Americans bragging about or proud of doing something that, to me, is worse than Pearl Harbor. 0.91

00:22:04.260 The Japanese at least cut off negotiations right before Pearl Harbor. 0.89

00:22:09.620 It was formal and diplomatic, you know, they sent the right messages, which weren't read by our side until too late, but they at least attacked Pearl Harbor in aircraft that had come all the way across the Pacific, risking discovery. 0.87

00:22:24.400 They attacked with aircraft marked on their wings.

00:22:29.200 We were in negotiations Friday in Oman, see you Monday in Geneva, and then attacked them on Saturday, which is for them a school day when the kids in the schools were killed.

00:22:44.240 And we also basically followed the Israel-Gaza protocol, which is if the program, if the artificial intelligence says there's an 80% chance that this guy will be home at Saturday morning at 10 a.m.,

00:23:05.040 and you basically create an algorithm that says, what time is the best time to catch most of these Iranian leaders at home?

00:23:13.380 Oh, 10 o'clock on Saturday morning.

00:23:15.400 That means 60% for that guy, 90% for that guy, 80% for that guy.

00:23:20.760 But if all the missiles hit at 10, we're going to get a lot of their leadership.

00:23:25.100 And we'll get everybody else in the building, too.

00:23:28.460 The neighbors, the mother, the niece, we're going to get them all.

00:23:32.960 And maybe the guy was out that morning.

00:23:34.840 He's not even there.

00:23:35.960 Oh, well, we were using AI.

00:23:38.720 That's how we killed those kids.

00:23:40.420 We didn't even have humans looking at each target.

00:23:44.200 We let AI choose the target list and unleash the tomahawks and the JASM missiles from, you know, the long-range air-delivered cruise missiles for a time-on-target attack.

00:23:57.020 We did that.

00:23:58.460 It's nothing to be proud of.

00:24:01.180 You know, this is not going to end well.

00:24:04.460 There are scenarios where America doesn't win this. 0.54

00:24:07.320 You know, the Germans and the Japanese in 1940, they didn't think they were going to lose.

00:24:13.720 You know, they thought they were going to win.

00:24:15.900 And they thought, what the hell?

00:24:17.820 Our best shot is to start it ourselves with a sneak attack, with war of aggression in Poland in 1939 and at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines and Singapore, you know, in 41 and then early 42.

00:24:31.760 They thought we're going to win and our best chance is if we start it.

00:24:37.320 Now America, under Trump, thinks we're going to win, so the best way to optimize our victory is if we do the sneak attack.

00:24:48.220 This does not always end well. 0.99

00:24:51.040 Right now, the same morons that are proud of doing a sneak attack are saying, isn't it great? 1.00

00:24:57.480 All the ships in the world are coming to Texas and Louisiana. 1.00

00:25:01.200 It's like, yay, Trump, 5D chess, we're so smart.

00:25:04.820 Now the world is coming to America to buy the fuel.

00:25:09.240 Well, number one, all that does is inflate the prices for Americans because fuel is a fungible commodity.

00:25:17.240 Gas, oil, it's a fungible commodity.

00:25:20.440 So if empty tankers are coming here and there's a bidding war in Louisiana and Texas, we pay the price at the pump.

00:25:27.780 And I don't think we've seen anything yet.

00:25:29.720 But it's even worse than that.

00:25:31.060 It's not just the inflation we're going to see for paying for energy.

00:25:34.820 What do you think the rest of the world thinks of us, that they have to send their ships to America now, when we're the reason why they're not sending the ship to the Persian Gulf, in like a free global market?

00:25:48.740 imagine an analogy where you have some corrupt town you know in the old south run by a you know

00:25:57.600 mafia the sheriff the mayor you know the richest guy in town they're all named johnson or you know

00:26:04.160 they're all the same clique but there's a one or two other gas stations in town and so so the the

00:26:11.640 mafia guy sends arsonists to the other two gas stations and blows them up now you've got to come

00:26:18.380 to my gas station and i can charge way more do you think that this is going to make the world 0.63

00:26:23.680 love america coming to america to load up their empty tankers when we're the reason why the price

00:26:31.480 is going out of control you know if you actually want a barrel of oil delivered today in in vietnam

00:26:37.880 or or korea it's way over a hundred dollars a gallon that's the futures price that's the paper

00:26:44.400 price. And we're just seeing the very beginning of this. This is like, for me, I compare it to

00:26:51.180 a mid-ocean tsunami, where you have the earthquake happens many hours before it hits

00:27:00.360 in Thailand or Sri Lanka, many hours. And this cutoff of the fuel around the world,

00:27:12.320 It's leading to the tank bottom, what they call the tank bottom, where you can't, you know, as long as there's another tanker coming, your tank farms, fuel farms in Asia and Africa, you know, they might normally be hovering somewhere between 80% full, 40% full, but there's always another ship coming.

00:27:35.280 That stopped.

00:27:36.640 Now we're going from that 40%, 30% to the tank bottom.

00:27:41.140 When you get to that last 10%, it's an unusable sludge.

00:27:46.420 You can't even put that into the pipes.

00:27:48.900 You know, it'll wreck your plumbing infrastructure for the pumps.

00:27:53.400 So you've got to just say, that's it, no more gas.

00:27:56.700 Australia, Vietnam, Thailand, around Africa, no more.

00:28:02.540 No more fertilizer, no more natural gas.

00:28:06.300 Well, Matt, they could come to America and buy it for a higher price.

00:28:09.800 oh, that's going to make them totally love America. So we not only start the war with a

00:28:14.780 war of aggression, but we're now going to benefit by it because we blew up the other gas station in

00:28:20.740 town. And that's going to make people totally love us and be on our side. What we're doing is driving

00:28:26.300 the world away from us. Yes, they'll bring the super tanker here because they need the fuel,

00:28:31.500 but they're going to be hitting us every minute of it and figuring out a way to get off of the

00:28:36.780 dollar and out of our clutches and and you know this in the end is going to have a very negative 0.99

00:28:43.400 effect for America just the way right now Israelis around the world they get off the airplane you 0.99

00:28:50.760 know sports teams things like that they're boycotted they're treated like crap the rest 0.88

00:28:56.460 of the world is looking at America looking at what we you know our bombs did in Gaza what what

00:29:03.000 What our bombs did in Iran, closing the Strait of Hormuz, which anybody with a three-digit

00:29:08.460 IQ knew would be closed if we attacked Iran this way.

00:29:13.660 And now it's gone in for 80 days, 81 days. 0.80

00:29:18.160 First it was going to be three days, then two weeks, then two months.

00:29:22.060 Now they're talking about July, maybe NATO will come.

00:29:25.500 By then, the world is going to be going into an acute energy crisis, and next year it'll

00:29:31.240 be a food crisis. We're going to talk about that again a little bit more on the other

00:29:35.660 side of the break. But yeah, this is the tsunami. We're in the suck back phase where everybody's

00:29:41.400 saying it's not so bad. Look, the water's actually receding. What tsunami? Well, it's

00:29:46.740 building up out there. And like a tsunami, you're not going to stop it. It's got its

00:29:52.360 own force and it's coming. See you on the other side.

00:30:43.640 is you and i we got just enough money to keep this network going and maybe finish the studio

00:30:50.400 We need more funds, and I've done this before.

00:30:52.880 You'll see it.

00:30:53.480 We'll have more reporters, more hosts, more people, more anchors than we ever had.

00:30:59.200 Because I don't own the AlexJoanStore.com.

00:31:01.720 Bigly does.

00:31:02.700 And we're trying to bring in the sponsors and the rest of it, 0.94

00:31:04.520 and we are going to ramp this sucker up.

00:31:06.760 You'll see the new studios. 0.99

00:31:07.780 They'll blow you away.

00:31:08.680 We've got to finish them.

00:31:09.520 We need funds.

00:31:11.340 It's not like you're betting on a horse that hadn't won the Kentucky Derby over and over again.

00:31:14.960 I'm not saying me, us together.

00:31:16.440 I mean, you're betting on the winner.

00:31:17.800 You're betting on your own future and getting incredible products at the same time.

00:31:20.940 Why does selection of the most badass t-shirts, hoodies, knives, collectibles, it's all there.

00:31:25.040 And a lot of stuff that sells out at the AlexShowsStore.com, the sister site, also on my bigly, is realalexshows.com.

00:31:29.980 So if you see something sold out there, they always hold back 10% for the sister site, the backup site, realalexshows.com, good chance it's there.

00:31:38.820 So be sure and take advantage of that as well.

00:31:41.960 But whatever you do, take that live feed from X on Real Alex Jones and AJN Live right now.

00:31:45.960 Share it to everybody you know

00:31:47.700 Your email list, your text message list

00:31:48.860 Tell them to share it

00:31:49.680 That completes the chain reaction

00:31:51.600 That's the most important thing you can do 1.00

00:31:55.100 Okay, I'm going to talk about Iran

00:32:00.520 And not just the repercussions of the energy side of this

00:32:03.880 But long-term political fallout

00:32:06.860 Geopolitical ramifications

00:32:09.080 But I want to speak a little bit more about this

00:32:13.180 It's what I was talking about, the Comanches and Apaches in Texas in the 1870s.

00:32:22.900 And in this book, there's just like hundreds of, you know, two, three, ten-page accounts printed in newspapers or diaries.

00:32:31.100 And probably the best book I've read on it is this Herman Lehman, Nine Years Among the Indians, 1870 to 1879.

00:32:40.540 Basically, it's teenage years, growing to manhood.

00:32:43.180 And the reason I want to talk about that is if we're coming into really hard times, the

00:32:48.780 mental preparation is going to be so much more important than, you know, how much money

00:32:53.820 do you have?

00:32:54.820 How many cases of MREs have you stacked?

00:32:57.680 That's important, believe me.

00:32:59.760 But the mental side of this is unbelievably important because we've grown so soft.

00:33:07.940 I think millions of people will die from despair because they just won't understand when the

00:33:13.220 supermarkets are looted and the water stops coming out of the faucet, they won't know

00:33:17.640 what to do.

00:33:18.640 They literally won't be able to function.

00:33:21.160 They'll have no idea how to survive.

00:33:24.460 And a lot of the worst people will be the primary survivors because they've at least

00:33:29.580 suffered some in their life and are more used to hardship, including refugees and others

00:33:35.520 that have come to America from war zones or very poor third world countries, they'll actually

00:33:41.620 do better than Americans that have never lived without AC.

00:33:48.960 Addiction specialists, I've read this and known this for years, and it's really very

00:33:56.020 counterintuitive.

00:33:58.300 We'll talk about heroin, it's hard to kick heroin or hard to kick all the morphine related

00:34:06.460 narcotics, but they say there's actually no pain in withdrawal.

00:34:12.360 It's not that there's pain from withdrawal.

00:34:15.480 You're so used to living in a pleasure zone, you're so used to living in a ahhh zone,

00:34:22.640 that without that, you can't stand it.

00:34:24.620 You can't stand life in the normal, no pleasure, ah, buzz zone, that you're going crazy to

00:34:32.800 get back into that zone.

00:34:34.180 It's not that there's pain from withdrawal.

00:34:37.520 People interpret DTs, going cold turkey, as painful.

00:34:41.300 No, they're just trying to get back to the ah zone. 0.64

00:34:45.620 Well, as civilization, we've been living in the ah zone. 0.80

00:34:51.120 We have a thermostat on the wall, and it's like, well, I want it at 76, and my wife wants

00:34:57.400 it at 78, and we're always arguing, no, 81 is just too hot, or, you know, 74, what, are

00:35:05.220 you trying to freeze us to death and run up our electric bill?

00:35:09.440 This was never even an issue for 99.9% of human history.

00:35:14.480 The temperature was the temperature.

00:35:17.400 Think about before the 20th century, there wasn't even an electric fan.

00:35:21.660 If you wanted it colder, you better go up a mountain or wait for winter.

00:35:25.760 That was it.

00:35:26.760 Those were your choices. 0.91

00:35:28.200 If you were rich, have a slave fan you. 0.89

00:35:30.600 That's it.

00:35:31.600 It didn't matter if you were the king of England or the czar of Russia, there was no air conditioning.

00:35:37.460 There was no refrigeration.

00:35:39.260 The temperature was the temperature.

00:35:41.820 In the winter, you built a fire.

00:35:43.940 In the summer, you did the best you could.

00:35:47.340 Imagine living in Texas or Arizona, you know, 150 years ago.

00:35:53.060 Nobody ever heard of electricity.

00:35:55.300 Nobody ever dreamed about air conditioning or running water.

00:36:01.000 That was just their baseline was so much more hardcore.

00:36:06.520 This, you know, he wrote this later, but Herman Lehman,

00:36:10.420 he's kidnapped when he's like, you know, 11 or 12,

00:36:13.660 going up until like, you know, age 19 with the Indians.

00:36:17.340 They would, these guys would be chased by Texas Rangers.

00:36:22.080 They didn't fear the soldiers.

00:36:23.240 The soldiers were a joke, but they feared the Texas Rangers and that's what a book that

00:36:27.380 is.

00:36:28.380 Every American boy should read this book.

00:36:31.840 And it's not just to say how terrible the Apaches and Comanches were or what great raiders 0.98

00:36:37.440 and warriors they were, which they were, or how cruel they were, which they were. 0.95

00:36:43.340 It's how much tougher people were.

00:36:46.740 These settlers in Texas, mostly German at the time, Fredericksburg, Carroll County,

00:36:52.500 these guys had an expectation of a hard life.

00:36:56.360 Then they're kidnapped by Indians and their life becomes ten times harder. 0.99

00:37:00.300 But they didn't go into shock and cry and go into the corner, suck in their thumb or 1.00

00:37:06.340 say, just kill me. 1.00

00:37:08.200 They adapted. 0.99

00:37:10.180 These guys would, unlike every cowboy movie you ever saw, where the cowboys are like making

00:37:17.360 a campfire and sleeping around the campfire, the Comanches and Apaches on the run would

00:37:23.900 never build a fire.

00:37:25.840 They knew that the Texas Rangers were going to sleep in the saddle.

00:37:29.320 They had to ride for days straight, sleeping in the saddle, tie themselves to the horse.

00:37:35.340 The person awake is leading the other horses.

00:37:38.940 If they had to eat, if they killed one of their own mules, they would take its stomach

00:37:44.880 contents and eat the stomach contents cold.

00:37:49.120 Any game that they ate, they were ready to eat cold on the spot.

00:37:52.400 They couldn't take the time to make a fire.

00:37:55.100 And if you made a fire, it would be a giveaway.

00:37:57.880 If you had to make a fire, you'd dig a hole like three feet down and make a coal fire

00:38:02.820 way down at night with wood that wouldn't make smoke.

00:38:07.320 if you made smoke or any light, you'd be done. That would be it. You know, this war between

00:38:13.540 the Texas Rangers and the Apaches and Comanches was that serious. These guys on the run crossing

00:38:20.680 deserts, if they found a spring that was dried up, they would eat mud. They'd eat mud because

00:38:27.040 in the mud was some moisture. You know, they would eat bugs. They would eat anything that

00:38:33.480 they could find. Insects, lizards, frogs, they would eat them. I'm not saying like, oh, wow,

00:38:41.040 that's so gross. Why are you telling me this? I'm saying that they started with a much more

00:38:46.260 tough baseline. No air conditioning, no central heat, right? You know, it's miles to visit anybody

00:38:53.860 by horse. Kids had to learn to saddle horses and do all the horse work as like practically toddlers.

00:39:00.560 and by the time you're 10 or 11 you better be doing work or you're then you take it to the

00:39:07.040 indians and it's next level i mean they had there was absolutely none of this like oh you just want

00:39:13.540 to be a squall or you can go with the girls no all of the indian boys were tested including the 0.98

00:39:19.060 white captives they had to fight each other they had to they had to like you know do boxing matches 0.96

00:39:24.180 wrestling matches constantly you know with the rest of the tribe looking on and laughing 0.95

00:39:30.820 And if you weren't at least trying as hard as you could to fight, they had no use for you.

00:39:35.840 You'd be done.

00:39:36.560 They'd leave you.

00:39:37.820 This is how they raised that warrior culture, that warrior ethos.

00:39:43.880 You only were with your mother while you were on the breast and a toddler.

00:39:49.220 After that, you were with the men. 0.51

00:39:51.660 And if you can't handle hanging with the men, we have no use for you.

00:39:56.060 Why am I saying all this?

00:39:57.600 If we're going into these hard times, your mind is going to have to become hard very fast.

00:40:05.800 If it's not, then you're going to go into a shock from suddenly no air conditioning.

00:40:13.100 Oh, my God, I'm in Phoenix.

00:40:14.540 I'm in Texas.

00:40:16.120 It's 105 outside, and there's no power.

00:40:18.860 What am I going to do?

00:40:20.180 Well, what did your great-grandfather do?

00:40:22.560 He never heard of air conditioning.

00:40:24.920 He didn't surrender.

00:40:26.920 But so much is going to happen so fast.

00:40:29.600 He grew up in that era.

00:40:31.040 He had no expectation.

00:40:32.840 We have an expectation of running water, a supermarket full of food that we can afford.

00:40:38.400 We have that expectation.

00:40:40.680 They were tougher because they grew up without that expectation.

00:40:44.440 They never thought of a fan, much less air conditioning. 0.98

00:40:47.260 So when all of this happens, when there are famines in the world, and America will maybe not go into famine like some African country, but our social network is going to fracture and collapse because we have 350 million people, 100 million of them are fed by the government, some kind of EBT, some kind of food stamp program. 0.98

00:41:14.060 when all of this stops they're going to feel that the social contract has been broken 0.98

00:41:19.420 that rich guy with the garage that's all full of stored food they're going to they're going to know

00:41:26.360 about this even even to the point of you have lights on that means you have electricity how do

00:41:33.380 you have electricity a generator solar panels you're going to have to hide things like this

00:41:38.080 And eventually, it will get down to the point of everybody around you that you encounter is looking like Auschwitz, is looking like Bataan Death March, and you've still got some food on your face.

00:41:51.980 You know, you're not looking like, you know, your bones aren't sticking out.

00:41:56.280 How's that happening?

00:41:57.140 When people get to that level and already the cities are exploding and people are looking

00:42:06.080 for new places to loot, you're going to have to be very smart about this.

00:42:12.700 Don't worry about refrigeration, don't worry about air conditioning, they're not going

00:42:15.860 to happen.

00:42:18.560 If the rest of the world, in the period of an American social collapse, we'll have the

00:42:26.760 money, we'll have more food than many countries, but we'll probably go through a social fracture

00:42:32.880 and collapse sooner than a lot of countries because of the baked-in social problems that

00:42:38.380 we have.

00:42:39.380 There are countries that are much more poor than us that you would say, well, won't they

00:42:44.580 go into collapse sooner?

00:42:46.920 Maybe not, because psychologically they're already tougher.

00:42:51.560 If you grow up in a South American country where electricity is only a 50-50 proposition

00:42:56.640 anyway, where in your living memory you've had currency collapses, you've had hyperinflation,

00:43:04.680 you know what happens when the supermarkets are empty, and you're prepared to deal with

00:43:08.840 that psychologically, I don't think Americans are prepared to deal with it psychologically.

00:43:14.400 So I think it's going to hit here a lot worse. 0.76

00:43:18.320 And that's why, you know, and I don't mean to, you know, talk about how cruel the Comanches and Apaches were, and they were, but, you know, when you read this, and every, I think, I would give this to every young boy in America, nine years among the Indians, say, look, he didn't quit. 0.90

00:43:36.320 he was suddenly thrust into a situation 0.97

00:43:39.380 where he was with other Indian boys his age 1.00

00:43:43.520 and they were tough

00:43:44.940 and he had to gain their respect 1.00

00:43:48.100 it was either that or just surrender and die

00:43:50.640 and he wasn't going to surrender and die 1.00

00:43:53.300 he became a Comanche

00:43:54.460 he became an Apache, both 0.81

00:43:57.020 because he was sold from one to the other

00:43:58.520 sometimes they formed up in common cause

00:44:01.680 against the white settlers

00:44:03.380 But I think that as soft as we are, it's going to be a much bigger drop.

00:44:10.220 It's going to be a really difficult psychological fracture

00:44:13.680 if we get to the point where a lot of supermarkets have been looted,

00:44:18.940 the people in the urban areas are going out to the suburbs foraging,

00:44:23.180 not enough police to keep the peace.

00:44:26.180 Then what happens?

00:44:27.380 Anyway, enough on that.

00:44:29.240 So when Trump was over in Beijing, Chairman Xi actually mentioned that America is a declining power, the Thucydides trap came up where a declining power, a declining empire is lashing out and trying to maintain its dominance.

00:44:53.120 so

00:44:54.600 I forget who said this

00:44:57.300 it might have been

00:44:57.900 Dugan, the Russian

00:45:00.740 the Russians and the Chinese

00:45:03.360 see their situation now as 0.62

00:45:05.200 managing the American decline

00:45:07.580 from a unipolar

00:45:09.660 world to a multipolar

00:45:11.400 world without

00:45:13.220 America lashing out and taking 0.70

00:45:15.440 the whole world down with it

00:45:16.780 in a massive

00:45:18.340 Thucydides trap reaction

00:45:21.320 how do we it's like having a belligerent drunk relative you know and you've got to you've got

00:45:28.100 to walk him out of the bar he's threatening everybody he's got guns and knives all over

00:45:33.260 the place but he's your brother and you're trying to walk him out to the truck maybe get him to 0.92

00:45:38.820 sleep it off you don't want him to lash out go nuts and you all wind up in jail or dead in a 0.82

00:45:45.360 you know huge brawl so that's where russia and china are today how do we get america to go from

00:45:53.760 believing that we're we like dominate the globe whatever we want we get we got the aircraft 0.66

00:45:59.360 carriers we got the bombers you know we've got the 82nd airborne and all of the you know and we

00:46:06.720 can just do whatever we want wherever we want that's obviously coming to an end and i think

00:46:12.800 that even in the pentagon behind the scenes uh that message is being conveyed to trump and the

00:46:20.480 cabinet you'll see in the new york times and atlantic and other places where it seems like

00:46:26.880 even the intelligence services are saying we can't do another round of of of attacks on iran

00:46:33.920 number one we're almost out of our standoff weapons why does that matter well when alex

00:46:40.640 is mentioned you know we dropped three million tons of bombs on vietnam that's when we could

00:46:44.960 just fly over vietnam with b-52s in formation they would literally fly from guam to thailand

00:46:53.440 dropping bombs over vietnam load up more bombs in thailand drop more bombs on vietnam and fly

00:46:59.920 back to guam okay so what's that got to do with anything we could just fly over vietnam dropping

00:47:06.480 iron bombs you'd see the like world war ii just coming down carpet bombing one crater linked to

00:47:13.600 the next crater sideways lengthwise and what we were trying to do was cut off vietnam from resupply

00:47:22.780 from china the ho chi minh trail ran parallel to north and south vietnam through laos and cambodia

00:47:29.940 and we spent eight years carpet bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail 0.89

00:47:35.380 and we never cut them off. 0.97

00:47:38.040 So now we're trying to force Iran to submit 0.50

00:47:42.560 because we're blockading their oil exports

00:47:45.460 as if that's going to make them submit.

00:47:48.340 But Iran is 10 times bigger than South Vietnam

00:47:52.680 with six times its population. 0.96

00:47:56.440 We had unlimited B-52 just dropping, vertically dropping iron bombs.

00:48:02.340 They didn't surrender. 0.89

00:48:03.980 Now, we can't even fly over Iran. 0.99

00:48:07.260 If we do, we're taking a chance on being shot down.

00:48:10.280 So we have to launch these JASM missiles, the joint, what, standoff, anyway, 0.86

00:48:15.600 it's like a cruise missile launched from a jet because we don't want to fly right over Iran.

00:48:20.540 So we're launching missiles that cost $2 or $3 million each.

00:48:25.780 that we have a limited number of.

00:48:29.360 So this isn't going to happen.

00:48:31.160 I don't think we're going to go back to a big air attack.

00:48:34.560 If it is, it's going to be some symbolic thing

00:48:36.820 that Trump will wrap into a walkaway scenario.

00:48:42.220 We destroyed their Navy.

00:48:43.900 We destroyed their Air Force. 0.82

00:48:45.760 So we won. 0.98

00:48:47.480 But Iran's not going to let us off that easy

00:48:50.360 because they don't want us just coming back

00:48:52.840 in another six months or a year.

00:48:54.320 So they're going to maintain control of the Strait Hormuz.

00:48:59.440 They know that we can't physically retake it from them.

00:49:04.360 If we could have physically retaken it from them, we would have done it already.

00:49:10.240 What that Project Freedom was about was an attempt to escort ships out of the Persian Gulf.

00:49:17.620 There are thousands of them stuck in there, including, I think, three more American merchant ships stuck in the Persian Gulf 81 days.

00:49:25.900 And they were going to escort them through the southern Omani Channel, which some people had said we had cleared of mines with anti-mine drones,

00:49:36.640 meaning we can't actually put a boat there to search for drones that way.

00:49:40.960 So from some distance away, we're going to hypothetically clear that southern Omani channel.

00:49:48.080 So we sent two of our best destroyers, Burt-class destroyers, DDGs, guided missile destroyers,

00:49:55.620 briefly into the Persian Gulf for two or three days.

00:49:59.480 It's still very sketchy.

00:50:01.360 There's no geolocations. 0.97

00:50:03.020 But the best take is that two of the Burt-classes went into the Persian Gulf, 0.58

00:50:08.140 where they have a very limited range because depending on their speed, 0.94

00:50:14.400 they've only got between like three and ten days of fuel.

00:50:18.500 If they run out of fuel in the Persian Gulf, they're dead in the water.

00:50:22.100 They could be captured, sunk, anything.

00:50:24.580 So part of this Project Freedom was we'll send destroyers in and escort ships out.

00:50:30.000 I think we got two American ships out.

00:50:32.300 A French ship tried to follow and was hit.

00:50:34.300 our DDGs had to flee the Oman channel at the bottom, had to flee back out to sea.

00:50:43.000 So we can't open the Persian Gulf.

00:50:46.640 It doesn't matter if they have no Air Force or Navy.

00:50:49.220 They have geography.

00:50:50.940 They have 1,000 miles of coastline to fire drones and missiles at our ships.

00:50:56.640 So we're not just in a stalemate where we can do this forever,

00:51:01.280 because, meanwhile, the world economy is going straight downhill.

00:51:06.760 And every week that goes by, the world reserve, that tank bottom, is getting closer and closer.

00:51:15.820 And it's not solved by ships coming to Texas and Louisiana and filling up.

00:51:21.240 That doesn't solve it.

00:51:22.600 That drives our prices up, makes the rest of the world hate our guts,

00:51:26.840 And it's still sucking the, you know, that big tank, the global tank, is still sucking down because we're missing that 15 or 20 million barrels per day.

00:51:39.040 It's taken out.

00:51:41.340 One of the downfalls of this modern, interconnected, just-in-time economy, it's great when you consider that tankers are like little beads, little strands of beads crossing the ocean,

00:51:55.360 going to every country, you know, a week apart, there's a tanker heading to Holland, to Australia,

00:52:02.180 to Taiwan, Japan, Korea. And, you know, it may be every three days for this country,

00:52:08.820 every week for that country. But their national tank, fuel tank, gas and oil is somewhere in the

00:52:17.400 80 to 40 percent. Here comes the ship. It's backed up to 70 percent. Those ships have sailed.

00:52:23.640 they're done. So it's back to that tsunami situation. We don't feel it yet because we

00:52:30.840 haven't hit tank bottom yet. And other countries will hit tank bottom before America. That's true.

00:52:37.280 So we're going to see this around the world, like what we saw a glimpse of in Sri Lanka a couple

00:52:43.240 years ago. They made some bad political decisions. They went tank bottom and had, you know, social

00:52:49.300 explosion all over Sri Lanka, out of fuel. That means everything closes. Well, they're getting

00:52:56.360 there in places like Vietnam and Korea and Japan. They're getting there. And it's not something like 0.56

00:53:03.880 Trump is saying, don't worry, as soon as we straighten up the Strait of Hormuz situation,

00:53:09.580 the oil prices will fall. That's delusional thinking. If it stopped tomorrow, if the tankers

00:53:16.540 left the gulf today it's still going to be depending on how far you know 40 45 50 days

00:53:24.060 before those tankers can can get to the next to the countries to offload to save them from tank

00:53:30.220 bottom if we hit tank bottom it's going to be global repercussions it already will be

00:53:38.140 especially when you consider that there are countries that just aren't planting because

00:53:42.940 they have no fertilizer they have no experience with how do we go back to 19th century agriculture

00:53:50.700 well we didn't have 8 billion people in the 19th century you know the the food meaning of the globe

00:53:56.460 of the green revolution was we can get three or four times the harvest out of an acre you know

00:54:02.300 with modern diesel run combine harvesters with with modern seeds with modern fertilizers pesticides

00:54:10.220 the whole thing, fuel running irrigation pumps, everything we can now feed 8 billion people.

00:54:18.820 You take away the diesel, no fuel, no water irrigation pumps, no diesel tractor harvesters,

00:54:26.520 no fertilizer. So we may be seeing in 2027 the effect of what's happening in 2026,

00:54:34.160 because we're still eating the 2025 harvest.

00:54:37.920 The 2027 harvest should be going in now,

00:54:41.320 but in a lot of the world, it's not going in.

00:54:44.940 So no matter what happens, this is going to have global consequences,

00:54:49.680 cascading global consequences.

00:54:52.920 Anyway, well, I'm glad to be able to talk to you,

00:54:56.980 and I don't know the next time I'll see you,

00:54:59.180 but hopefully pretty soon with better news,

00:55:01.960 something uh maybe the trump will do the walk away and not the bombs away if we do the bombs 0.99

00:55:09.660 away we're just digging a deeper hole and yeah the the morons that say yeah matt they'll have 0.99

00:55:15.320 to come to texas and louisiana for even more of the last fuel in the world in the world yeah and 0.99

00:55:21.060 they'll hate us and they'll be out to out for revenge forever against us if countries go into

00:55:26.880 famine. Usually famines were something related to a drought or maybe a regional war. China and

00:55:35.640 Japan suffered famines over and over again. This famine, this global famine, will have one very

00:55:42.180 well-known cause, and it'll be February 28th, what Trump did then. So anyway, I'll talk to you later

00:55:50.400 and hopefully better news next time.

00:55:54.160 You know, I've got, you know, I'm plugging other guys' books today.

00:55:57.540 This isn't even other guys' books.

00:55:59.300 This is just history.

00:56:01.620 And I think that it will work for you

00:56:04.180 in order to just psychologically toughen you

00:56:08.120 and maybe, you know, your kids.

00:56:10.660 Have your boys read these books.

00:56:12.700 And, you know, I've got my own books too,

00:56:15.060 you know, all of these, I've been writing for years.

00:56:17.600 But anyway, I'll talk to you next time.

00:56:21.740 See you later.

00:56:23.440 Almost all the products you see at thealexjonesstore.com that fund this operation and keep us on air

00:56:28.620 are products that I use, that I like, that are ideas that I came up with.

00:56:33.940 The knives we have, the supplements, the coins of these new Faraday cage, RFID, wallet shields.

00:56:43.120 that's that's all stuff that i went out i researched that i thought was cool that i

00:56:48.620 then got bigly to go out and get and it took them six months which was actually pretty fast

00:56:52.580 to get the very wallet that i bought at a nice department store for like 75 80 dollars

00:56:58.520 six seven months ago and really liked because it holds 20 cards 20 bills it is high quality leather

00:57:07.520 and very lightweight very strong aluminum this is the wallet for you folks it's it's amazing

00:57:12.920 We have them two designs, 1776 and Don't Tread on Me.

00:57:16.820 Comes in a nice box.

00:57:18.220 Also is a great gift.

00:57:20.400 The new Freedom Shield wallet.

00:57:22.800 The new Freedom Shield RFID wallet is here.

00:57:25.440 It comes in two powerful patriotic designs, Don't Tread on Me, and 1776 with a ring of stars.

00:57:30.860 Made with top grain leather and aerospace grade aluminum.

00:57:34.920 This thing is slim, strong, secure, and built for everyday carry for the last years, years, years.

00:57:38.940 It holds 25 cards and 20 bills.

00:57:41.740 has RFID blocking protection and secure cash trap and quick full-tab access.

00:57:47.040 And let me explain this.

00:57:47.700 I know most of you know this, for those that don't.

00:57:50.780 Thieves and criminals and people that corrupt gas stations and places,

00:57:54.940 they don't just put a fake card reader, it's a real card reader,

00:57:57.960 under the reader so that they're getting your information

00:58:00.380 and then selling it and stealing your identity.

00:58:04.080 They also can scan with just a device that can be in a briefcase or even a small bag.

00:58:09.340 They can scan your cards and get their information off of the chips, okay?

00:58:16.120 And so that's why spies, law enforcement, you name it, for many, many years, spies for decades,

00:58:21.820 but law enforcement, everybody else, accountants, you name it, they all have wallets like this.

00:58:28.600 And we're going to come up with a bunch of other great Faraday purses and wallets and bags

00:58:32.460 because that's something people really want.

00:58:34.200 My marketing research was, I think it's cool, I'm into it.

00:58:36.880 And sure enough, the Faraday bags we've got limited supplies of sell out within days.

00:58:40.660 These are going to sell out very, very quickly as well.

00:58:43.100 I'm cutting this live on air on Wednesday, May 20th, 2026.

00:58:48.340 I would imagine the limited run they got, just 1,000 of each one of the two designs,

00:58:52.940 will probably be sold out in less than a week.

00:58:54.860 So get yours now at theellofshownstore.com and fund the operation.

00:58:58.120 They also make a great gift.
