00:01:30.480When we were setting up this studio and preparing to come down to Daily Wire HQ, we had no idea what to expect.
00:01:44.480So we actually had a conversation with the crew here at the Daily Wire about what if we have to go live all week.
00:01:49.320And then I was talking to Jeremy, Jeremy Boring, and I said, hey, look, man, what if we don't know what's going to happen by Saturday?
00:01:56.920I mean, you know, we don't normally do Tim Castile Live on the weekends, but I think if we're still awaiting results and there's lawsuits and chaos, we're going to have to go live.
00:02:04.120And he's like, don't worry about it, man. We got you.
00:02:05.320And then 1.30 a.m. the following morning election in November 6th, we got clean results.
00:02:12.260And it was just, okay, well, all right.
00:02:15.140Now, I'm hearing a lot of people say that they're still worried because it feels like the calm before the storm.
00:02:20.140But for the time being, let's remain optimistic and under the impression that this is a Republican sweep.
00:02:27.440Donald Trump will be taking office on January 20th.
00:02:29.760And it doesn't look like with the way the House is going, there's going to be any challenges to certification.
00:02:35.460I mean, there may be, but not significant because it's going to be a Republican sweep.
00:02:38.640So with that being said, I feel extremely lucky to have these two gentlemen joining us for this episode of the Culture War,
00:02:45.940considering we now know that we are on track for Trump to come back into office and start cleaning up this mess.
00:02:51.580But why don't we just start with introductions?
00:02:53.560We'll start with you. Sean, do you want to introduce yourself?
00:02:55.920Sure. I'm Sean Stone. I'm a filmmaker.
00:02:59.760I have a long background. What do you want to start?
00:03:02.940Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, acting in film since I was a kid.
00:03:07.380I did Buzzsaw for Gaia Channel as well as watching the Hawks for RT for a few years.
00:03:13.060And a number of documentaries and a couple of feature films as well.
00:03:16.400So this is a new series that I just directed called All the President's Men we'll be talking about today.
00:03:21.120And this is about all the people in the deep states? What's the synopsis?
00:03:26.740Yeah, the synopsis. So it's the conspiracy against Trump's first administration, essentially.
00:03:32.300From 2016, when he was running, we feature General Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Roger Stone,
00:03:40.500all of whom were indicted, some of whom went to prison on this Russia, you know, collusion hoax.
00:03:47.420But it's deeper than a hoax. It really is a conspiracy by the intel community under Obama, by the Hillary Clinton people,
00:03:55.560by the FBI, you know, heads of FBI like Comey and company.
00:03:58.540And we get into essentially just some of these. And by the way, this is just the surface level.
00:04:03.340This is what we know just from the Durham report and other things.
00:04:06.080There are much deeper layers that we still don't know fully about the entire collaboration of the Five Eyes,
00:04:12.340the Foreign Intelligence Services, you know, the depths of the CIA involvement and whatnot.
00:04:16.840But what we do know, we lay out in this series, and it's pretty fascinating.
00:04:21.480We also have General Flynn joining us. Sir, would you like to introduce yourself?
00:04:24.340Yeah, thanks, Tim. Thanks, Phil, for having me. And Sean, it's great to see you.
00:04:28.380Sean and I have had a great, great relationship for years now.
00:04:32.780Yeah, I mean, it's sort of where do you begin, right?
00:04:36.260So I had a really, really amazing career in the military, nearly 34 years of, you know,
00:04:44.980fighting everything from the former Soviet Union to the Contras in Central America,
00:04:51.120operations in Central, in the Caribbean, a lot of time in Middle East, Central Asia.
00:05:00.240Five years of my nearly 34 years were in direct combat operations.
00:05:05.600So a lot of people know a little bit of that, and that was a great experience for me.
00:05:11.060I come from a family of military. Both my grandfather served in World War I.
00:05:15.580One of those grandfathers served in World War I and World War II, and my father served in World War II, Korea.
00:05:21.360My brother served in the Vietnam era. My son is continuing to serve.
00:05:24.980I have a brother, Charlie, who's a four-star, who actually retires today after 40 years.
00:05:31.980And between he and I, we've been in every single conflict since, really, you know,
00:05:39.780Desert Shield, Desert Storm, and Grenada.
00:05:41.700May I go back to Grenada? You know, I jumped into politics with Trump.
00:05:46.180Trump hired me to be his national security advisor.
00:05:48.220That's a big story, and out there, if you're not aware of it, you've been sleeping under a rock.
00:05:53.440And we'll talk maybe a little bit about that going forward,
00:05:56.180because I think everything right now we have to project forward.
00:05:58.800A lot of people don't know I am the author of seven books, and two of those are bestsellers.
00:06:03.500I hold three master's degrees. I'm a lifelong learner. I'm one of nine children.
00:06:09.720I grew up in a very tough Irish Catholic family up in the state of Rhode Island.
00:06:14.820And Tim and I were talking about skateboarding earlier, because I, in 19, I think it was 1972,
00:06:22.100at the University of Rhode Island, where we had the East Coast Skateboarding Championships.
00:06:26.540I was the New England champion on a skateboard, on a steel skateboard, with early, early polyurethane wheels,
00:06:34.780very early polyurethane wheels, didn't have the ball bearings at that time,
00:10:52.660In fact, there's, there's even evidence that came out about a week ago, additional evidence from these FOIAs, Tim,
00:11:00.060that people are continuing to dig as Sean just highlighted.
00:11:03.200There's so much more information that's still, I mean, this, the depth of stuff that is still held inside of the intelligence community would blow away the Kennedy, the JFK assassination.
00:11:32.800In fact, in fact, on Newsmax the other night, it might've been last night, Kelly, Greg Kelly, he, you know, Biden comes out and says how we're going to have this peaceful transfer of power, you know, to Trump now.
00:11:58.360I, you know, I should have asked you guys if you thought I did.
00:12:01.060And, uh, I was never convicted, never went to prison.
00:12:04.640My, my case was dismissed, but I had to get a pardon because a judge, a federal judge wouldn't let me go because he got the bird whistle from Obama.
00:12:14.360So, and that's, that's, you know, how much detail you want to get into.
00:12:17.360Well, yeah, so, but this is, uh, it's been, it's been a while since we've covered the story, but they accused you of lying.
00:12:22.640But it began, so, so, so Tim, this, this, uh, story that we are facing right now, what Trump is going through, what we, what we all experienced going up to this election.
00:12:34.760And, and, and then these people are not done.
00:12:37.200So these, these people are not finished trying to screw Trump and screw this country and, and basically take it over.
00:12:45.040I mean, this is a, this is a, a long time in coming.
00:12:50.760And so that, that early, those early days, and it actually, we know it began in 2015 when, when Trump decided they weren't exactly sure how Trump was going to play out in the primaries during that period of time.
00:13:01.300But when he did, and then he wins that, you know, that now all of a sudden it's like, okay, we can't allow this to happen.
00:13:06.920Cause the, the, the bigger plan, and most people don't know, but this is, this is for real and they will not, they will, they won't argue this.
00:13:15.560The bigger plan was eight years of Obama, eight years of Hillary and the Tim cast live from the daily wire headquarters wouldn't exist.
00:13:24.400So, so we are still in the throes of this fight and the way that I described this, and I described this the other day, talking to some folks after the victory, because it's like, and I use the metaphor cause I'm a military guy.
00:13:36.080I use the metaphor of, of the Normandy invasion that we are, we are at about like D-Day plus one right now, right?
00:13:43.820That we cannot say, you know, it's victory over Europe already.
00:13:49.460We want a massive, massive, a monumental historic battle, but that's just one battle in the, in the war to continue to keep this thing moving and do the things that are necessary to do.
00:13:58.920So what happens from now until the 20th?
00:14:01.740I imagine the moment Trump walks in that door, that's a big problem for these people.
00:14:06.960I mean, from my perspective, I, you know, Trump knows what he wants to do.
00:14:11.680He's got, you know, he'll pick great people and I, you know, and, and there's going to be an establishment, sort of the rhino of establishment, whatever you want to call them.
00:14:19.060There's going to be a, a political establishment elite that will try to pressure him to take certain types of people, right?
00:14:28.540My, my thing right now is to message as much as I can.
00:14:33.380And I do this every time that I've done this since really, even before the election is to message that there, these people are not done trying to kill him.
00:14:41.100So, and I don't say that lightly, so I'm not, you know, I'm not saying it because I'm just, you know, reading it on the internet.
00:14:47.660I mean, so they're, they're not done trying to get this man out of the way.
00:14:52.000So, you know, I mean, on, on one side, out of one side of my mouth, I want to tell Trump, just hang out at Mar-a-Lago, run an operation center down there, have everybody come down to you to be, you know, to be interviewed, whatever, you know, do, do those kinds of things because they're going to say, well, here's your transition headquarters.
00:15:08.960Of course, everything has to be different.
00:15:11.160The way he is taking back over the country must be done differently.
00:15:15.420He'll decide whether or not, you know, he listens to what I'm telling him, but I, my thing is he's got to stay alive because they're not going to give him the resources, Tim, to be able to stay alive.
00:15:38.600Well, I think Trump should be for the next couple of months in a secure location surrounded by the most trusted people imaginable.
00:15:46.180He should not be traveling because there were two, two attempts.
00:15:51.340He dodged a bullet and then we had a plot.
00:15:54.080And we also heard from Matt Gates that there are five Iranian assassination teams.
00:15:59.100Donald Trump right now needs to get into office.
00:16:02.660And there are a lot of podcasts popping up where I'm seeing people saying, doesn't it feel a little strange how calm all of these elites and wealthy individuals, some who may be on the Epstein list are?
00:16:13.520When Elon Musk gave an interview and he said that list is going to come out if Trump wins.
00:16:17.040And now a lot of these people are like, oh, it's just, it's totally fine that Trump won.
00:16:20.140Yeah, I think it was the CEO of the Clinton Foundation stepped down on Wednesday.
00:16:24.900So, I mean, it's like not a lot of people know that because it just comes up as a little blip and you kind of go, some friends of mine that have fought that organization legally in the courts and have beat them, Clinton Foundation, you know, they pay attention to these things.
00:16:38.520And you kind of, these are signals, okay?
00:16:42.080What I look for is I look for, you know, what we call indicators and the indicators are part of what you're talking about, but it's also messaging.
00:16:50.520So messaging like Karl Marx or Joseph Stalin would have been proud of the concession speech that Kamala Harris gave, okay?
00:17:00.260And then people can go back and they need to examine it.
00:17:02.680And what Biden just said, I think it was yesterday, people need to, you know, look at that.
00:17:10.080But go back and listen to Kamala and listen to her concessions speech.
00:17:12.960What's the historical precedent if, I want to be very light with this because, you know, but if for some reason Trump does not make it to Inauguration Day, who becomes president?
00:17:35.040I mean, you know, there are 43 on the books signed by different presidents going back to at least, probably at least, I would say Johnson.
00:17:48.100But there's 43 national security emergency orders on the books signed, ready to be executed.
00:17:54.260And if one of them is executed, it automatically kicks in about 150 different laws in the country.
00:18:02.420OK, so and I've written about this and people can go people can go see what I've written about it.
00:18:07.880And these things matter because if there is a national emergency, right, so maybe if something like this happens that and I don't want to I hate going down this path because I want to be positive.
00:18:27.660And everybody's, you know, it's nirvana because believe me that when they start to talk about, you know, a smooth transition of power, right?
00:18:35.840If Trump had lost the 26th of November, he'd be in prison for the rest of his life and they would destroy his entire family.
00:18:44.440And guys like me, OK, who I know, I'm on a target list and many others who I know that are high profile people, they would come after us.
00:18:53.060So these are not like all of a sudden they're they're kinder and gentler people here.
00:19:07.980And it's going to be a it's going to be a tough slog because at every point and it's they're already talking about it.
00:19:13.780You know, the sort of the minions in the in the apparatus, they're already talking about, you know, how to disrupt the next administration.
00:19:22.100Right. Even though the powers to be are saying we're going to have a smooth transition.
00:19:27.640There was no smooth transition for Trump from and from that moment, from that moment where Trump and Obama met in early November of 2016, the war has been waged from that point when they met.
00:19:46.120Trump did not know the ways of Washington, D.C. going into the presidency in 2017.
00:19:51.620Is it your sense that Trump's that the Trump administration or the people that Trump have now setting up the administration, are they more prepared for this kind of subterfuge or whatever?
00:20:00.080Yeah. I mean, Trump is. I think I think President Trump is it's a big it's a big thing.
00:20:06.860You know, it's it's you're you're you know, you're not, you know, running you're not getting a couple of million dollars of investment and starting a new company.
00:20:13.860I mean, this is a government that that has millions of people that that are currently in it.
00:20:19.180And, you know, and he's got the executive branch of the government and appointees.
00:20:25.680You know, there's about three thousand. He probably should hire three hundred and not hire the other whatever, twenty seven hundred.
00:20:32.560And and I do think that I do think that Elon going in is this, you know, they call it Doge or whatever.
00:20:39.620Right. You know, it doesn't need to be a department.
00:20:42.920He doesn't need to be appointed in anything.
00:20:44.540He just needs to be like a task force commander and let him decide who he wants to bring into that element.
00:20:50.820You know, Elon, I don't expect Elon to go into government.
00:20:54.080I expect Elon to, you know, go with the guidance and the direction and the approval of the president of the United States of America and go in there and say, OK, why do you exist?
00:21:03.980Department of Education. Why do you exist?
00:21:06.680CISA. I mean, there's a lot I could go, you know, go down.
00:21:10.240I don't know, half a dozen organizations that should be completely eliminated.
00:36:23.420And you've got to examine, you know, what are their intentions?
00:36:27.520And this is where, you know, like good intelligence, bulletproof intelligence helps, insiders help, whistleblowers help, people getting people into the camps.
00:36:37.440I mean, I guarantee, I guarantee, you know, 100% that there are people in the Trump camp that have been working for the other side damn near the whole time.
00:36:49.160Now, whether or not, you know, you can judge them for how well they did or didn't do, but, and now that's going to be again.
00:36:55.580And so what happens is immediately, you know, elements of government start to come together to try to go, okay, well, we're here to help, right?
00:37:04.860And, you know, it's like I told one congressman who ran, this is back in the 2022 election victory.
00:37:11.740He, I supported him and we went and helped him raise money and he won.
00:37:17.200And I saw him at an event and this was before he went into Congress.
00:37:22.040And it was like at a, I think it may have been at Mar-a-Lago or it may have been some other place, but we, it was at an event prior to him actually taking the job.
00:37:29.460First time congressman, America first guy.
00:37:32.100And I said to him, uh, when he came over to me, he goes, Hey, I want to thank you very much.
00:37:51.940Well, and it's, and it's very true because people that go to DC and try and it's back to, back to something we had, we talked about earlier, you know, like, and I said, and I actually said this in a film, Trump didn't know the ways of Washington DC.
00:38:05.700He, he accepted that people in the Republican party were going to give them good people, right?
00:38:57.300And in the filming of our, of our movie and, and, and I, and I know that we're going to find out a lot more stuff here because it, because, you know, they're, they're, they're going to look into it.
00:39:06.180And we talked about cash, you know, earlier.
00:39:09.040So the entire time he's there and frankly, Mike Pompeo, who I'm not a fan of, and that's, you know, neither here nor there, but I'll say it, um, who was his CIA director the entire time.
00:39:21.420They had the full firm bulletproof evidence that said the whole Russia, you know, nonsense was nonsense, was a hoax, a fault the entire time yet said nothing.
00:39:34.140And they allowed the country, they allowed Trump, they allowed peoples and their families to be destroyed.
00:39:39.520They allowed Trump and his presidency to be attacked.
00:39:42.620And they just sat there and said nothing.
00:40:05.840I mean, you know, again, so the, the, the classified stuff is because you're right, Sean, you're exactly right.
00:40:11.260People will use that, that, that, that false mask to hide behind, like, well, it's under investigation, you know, well, just tell me whether or not it is, you know, are you investigating it?
00:40:22.600But when they say, well, it's classified, that's the, that's the biggest crock of horseshit, you know, because they'll hide it like they, you know, like they redact, they redact evidence.
00:41:11.440You know, we were, Phil and I were talking about isms, you know, like you can, you can beat the German army, you can beat the SS, you can beat the Japanese military, but you can't beat the ism, right?
00:41:22.180So, you know, like you can defeat Hamas, but you may not be able to defeat, you know, a radicalized Islamism as an example, just to kind of bring it to today.
00:41:31.560So there are competing ideologies against our way of life and globalism is a very big deal and it's been ongoing for a long time and there's names and faces that are associated with it.
00:41:42.560There's, there's clearly organizations, World Bank, World Health Organization, World Trade, United Nations, International Monetary Fund.
00:41:51.220So, but, but these are people and, and at the end of the day, there is a communist infiltration into this country and, you know, the Chinese, we don't hear that the people don't talk about China as much as, as they should.
00:42:07.300This government will, you know, and the Obama government will talk about Russia, Russia, Russia, because, and there's, there's tens of billions of dollars, actually more, more than that, but tens of billions of dollars, I'll, I'll leave it at that, that are in programs focused on Russia because for 40 years we fought the Cold War.
00:42:28.000So, this thing right here, this thing right here, okay, the entire constellation of satellites that, that, that travel around, you know, geospatial orbit were put up by the U.S. government because of the former Warsaw Pact.
00:42:41.880Okay? And that, that drove a lot of stuff, a lot of innovation, a lot of technologies.
00:42:47.360So, there's so much money that's involved in, that doesn't mean that that's a bad thing, it just means that when that, if the enemy dries up, then the money could dry up.
00:42:56.200So, you can't allow the enemy to dry up.
00:42:58.520With the, the DEI stuff that we've been seeing, major corporations creating chief diversity officers, it feels very much like how the Communist Party operates when they put a party member in all of their big corporations.
00:43:11.880And then we've heard from many of our guests on Tim Kest IRL that there are powerful individuals who are envious of the Chinese Communist system.
00:43:20.400So, do you think that one of the goals is to reshape America much like the Chinese Communist Party controls China, where they have single party rule, where people like Kamala Harris who don't get elected and don't get a single vote are appointed by the party to, to run.
00:43:35.060And then they put an ideological component within all of the companies, effectively assuming full control of the entire system, never to have a legitimate election again.
00:43:47.580The, and it goes all the way down, so that permeates all the way down into every institution of our government, of our federal government.
00:43:54.120And then when you look at, at other institutions like, you know, higher, higher learning, undergraduate and graduate level programs, right, all across the country.
00:44:03.940I mean, you know, I, I am so unimpressed when somebody tells me, well, he's a graduate of Harvard.
00:44:08.640I mean, I could give a shit, you know, I mean, I just, it just doesn't, it's unimpressive these days, because when you begin to look at how these structures and these institutions have changed.
00:44:17.480When you look at what the Chinese have done in this country, I mean, fentanyl, we're, we're at over 200,000 killed in action on the streets of America by a drug designed and produced in China.
00:44:32.820And, and in the last year, year and a half, they've stuffed it with a horse tranquilizer, a much stronger version to, to basically kill more of our society.
00:44:41.760They then introduce it to the Mexican cartels. And then the Mexican cartels use their counterparts in the various, you know, criminal organizations in this country, mainly MS-13, to basically put it out all over the street.
00:44:55.440We have over 200,000 dead Americans killed in action, I call it. And, and then, you know, that, that times probably five wounded in action, because, you know, there's been many that have been affected by it.
00:45:06.740And, and, and of course, the damage to the families, the damage to our healthcare system, the damage to our education system, on and on and on.
00:45:13.600So, that's one part of it, because that's kind of a, a, a, a physical manifestation of how the Chinese Communist Party, in their hundred year plan, which was actually developed by Mao Zedong in the, in the late.
00:45:28.260Climate change, a problem so huge, how could I ever make a difference?
00:45:34.260I'm Marco Chaunovet, climate reporter for the Toronto Star.
00:45:37.980I meet a lot of smart people doing really inspiring things in this space all the time.
00:45:43.700Small things that add up to big climate benefits.
00:45:47.560Small things, big climate, wherever you get your favorite podcasts.
00:45:52.200The Climate Solutions Podcast is brought to you by SmartFlow from Enbridge Sustain.
00:45:58.260Get ready for a Las Vegas-style action at BetMGM, the king of online casinos.
00:46:04.600Enjoy casino games at your fingertips with the same Vegas Strip excitement MGM is famous for when you play classics like MGM Grand Millions or popular games like Blackjack, Baccarat, and Roulette.
00:46:16.260With our ever-growing library of digital slot games, a large selection of online table games, and signature BetMGM service, there's no better way to bring the excitement and ambience of Las Vegas home to you.
00:46:41.160If you have questions or concerns about your gambling or someone close to you, please contact ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600 to speak to an advisor free of charge.
00:46:52.580BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario.
00:47:10.240The other aspect that people need to understand is that the geology, okay, the geology of the United States of America, particularly the contiguous, you know, 48 states, but even Alaska, we know of the energy resources in Alaska.
00:47:25.560But the geology of this country, this is one of the richest, you know, most wealthiest pieces of dirt on the planet, okay?
00:47:34.680We have all of the rare earth elements that you need to be able to function globally and certainly nationally.
00:47:42.660So things like lithium, you know, copper, uranium, gold and silver, I mean, you know, all of the different forms of energy that can be created that comes out of the geology versus that can be created by nuclear energy and all the kinds of aspects that we have there.
00:48:02.740We have it for the next 500 years, Tim, for the rest of the world.
00:48:05.680So, you know, when you're looking at something like that and you have 1.6 billion people, right, in China, you got like, I think it's 1.4 in India.
00:48:15.760I mean, that's like a third of the planet right there, just two countries.
00:48:19.160Now, India, I'm a big fan of India, you know, big fan of how they operate and how they function.
00:48:24.140But a lot of people don't realize with India, India's military, it's great military.
00:48:28.800And I know a lot of the leadership in the Indian military, India's military is primarily designed and supported by Russia.
00:48:39.020So you have these funny relationships out there.
00:48:41.380When we look at India and we think of Modi and we go, hey, he's a great guy, very pro-America and he's, you know, he wants to be able to do the kinds of things because he's thinking of his own people, which is right.
00:48:50.500But you have to look at these other relationships.
00:48:52.620So there's all these relationships on the planet and instead of us, you know, to kind of use something I think I heard you say a long time ago, instead of actually having a leader, in this case, Trump, going out there and interacting with other leaders on the planet and saying, OK, guys, how do we want to operate here?
00:49:12.180Because we don't want to try to kill each other.
00:49:13.660We don't want to we don't want to go to war.
00:49:15.240That doesn't mean that there's not psychopathic, you know, terrorist groups out there.
00:49:19.200There are. And and I have I have I have dealt with them and faced them.
00:49:24.220But, you know, nation states, reasonable nation states with reasonable leaders who are trying to do what's best for their people.
00:49:33.220They're going to it's like a it's like a competitive environment.
00:49:38.680I don't know what you want to call it, what metaphor you want to use, but it's a competitive world.
00:49:42.220And instead of trying to kill each other over that, over the resources or the kinds of things, maybe we figure out how do we how can we actually live together?
00:49:50.060And a lot of that comes with smart people, you know, engaging and talking and saying, OK, here's how here's what we're going to do.
00:49:57.100I mean, Trump's notion about taxes, as an example, and going with tariffs instead of taxes.
00:50:03.560I mean, just little things like that, because we're just giving away the farm.
00:50:07.840I was at a at a planet. We yesterday we were at a plant up in Ohio.
00:50:12.660Great. You know, great friend of mine. We did an event up there and they do these liners for the back of trucks.
00:50:18.840You know, something I never saw, you know, and I said, so tell me which parts of it come from China.
00:50:24.700Right. And there are still bits and pieces.
00:50:26.420But he he was like so proud. And it's a it's a midsize, maybe to a, you know, a little bit higher than a midsize company.
00:50:34.020They do pretty good. But but it's like the pride that he had in saying that, nope, here's this, here's that, here's that.
00:50:41.760This is made in some, you know, somewhere America. This is made in Main Street.
00:50:45.020I mean, all the pieces and he is fighting to keep that and he's been fighting for four years to keep that his prices to where it's reasonable, where other truck company clients will buy his liner for their damn trucks.
00:50:59.680Right. Because the Chinese have a version that's about a third the price.
00:51:03.980Oh, yeah. We deal with this. We launched skateboards.
00:51:06.940And when we were discussing with with our distributors and the people who work in the industry, they said, here's the Chinese option and they're actually very well made and they're a lot cheaper.
00:51:17.540And here's the American version, also extremely well made and they're more expensive.
00:51:22.260And I said, we buy American. We don't we're not we're not taking cheap Chinese products.
00:51:25.620I'm not doing this to to line my pockets.
00:51:28.740But the issue is we have the ability to do so because I have the ability to invest.
00:51:33.620We have great members and with their memberships, we have the ability to say we're going to invest in what's right for these other companies.
00:51:39.500They're struggling. They take a look at their options and they say, go with China so we can save as much money as possible.
00:51:44.320And all that does is weaken our economy and make it harder for this this base is manufacturing base in this country to come back.
00:51:50.980So many of these, you know, I'll throw I'll put it this way.
00:51:54.560So many diners across this country do not use real butter.
00:51:58.300It's because the average person's not asking for it.
00:52:00.200And so when they walk in the diner, this this this one small family owned diner says we use hydrolyzed soy hydrogenated garbage because no one's no one's complaining.
00:52:09.620But if we spend the extra 500 bucks a month to use real butter, we can't compete with these other stores.
00:52:15.200And that just degrades everything to where we're eating poison, using cheap products and giving away our labor force.
00:52:24.340I wrote my book on it, actually, my thesis work at college was on the New World Order and it wasn't a conspiracy theory.
00:52:30.400It was it was a British plan that we're drawing this up in the 20s and 30s.
00:52:33.420We're talking about how do we basically turn the British Empire into the Commonwealth, because we can't we don't we can't garrison an empire.
00:52:41.080That's what they realized with the Bar War, basically.
00:53:20.760But essentially, to your point about the recruitment of the intellectual class, I mean,
00:53:25.800I focused on a guy named Elliot, William Elliot, who was the teacher of Harvard for 40 years of Kissinger and the Brzezinski and Huntington and all these guys who came through there.
00:53:34.800And he, Elliot, was trained by the roundtable groups of England in this ideology.
00:53:49.400Financial capitalism wants to go global.
00:53:51.500We want it to be industrialized America.
00:53:53.260We want America to be one cog within the global machine.
00:53:56.160We want you to be a weakened power because when you're sovereign, as you know, from war and anything, when you're sovereign, you have your own energy.
00:54:04.980You cannot be controlled the same way as when you depend upon, you know, your labor from, you know, your labor or your goods or your products coming from another country.
00:54:15.500And whether it was drugs, you know, whether it's the drug traffic, it's the arms traffic, it's the traffic in, you know, you name it humans, it's the traffic in cheap labor, it's the traffic in goods.
00:54:23.340It's all about this British imperial, you know, merchant game essentially, right, and finance capitalism being transnational.
00:54:31.860So the financier class, going back to the, you know, 100 years ago, they actually, if you look at the British Empire, a lot of these guys actually, the imperial, you know, the Milners and others who were basically, you know, financier class, they all embraced socialism.
00:54:45.880They understood that socialism essentially would give, you know, basically it would create a system where you wouldn't be much of middle class.
00:54:52.840You give the worker, give them just enough, right, give them just enough to keep them happy.
00:54:55.940But you really have a small elite that rules it.
00:54:59.000And so the imperialists actually made a deal with this, essentially brought the socialist policy into their ideology.
00:55:05.460What they hated was the American system, the American system of, you know, Henry Ford and people like that saying, hey, I want my workers to have good wages because then they can buy my goods.
00:55:32.640You know, basically it's the financier which wants you to be a debt slave and the businessman that says, hey, I want you to have good wages so you can, you know, be able to buy goods.
00:55:39.900And that's essentially, I think, the war that we're seeing in America between the Musks and the Trumps coming and saying, hey, we've got a problem in our country.
00:55:51.940And I think that was the wake-up call for a lot of the nationalists and the patriots coming together to say, we need to start making a move here against this globalist faction.
00:56:35.580Get ready for a Las Vegas-style action at BetMGM, the king of online casinos.
00:56:41.440Enjoy casino games at your fingertips with the same Vegas Strip excitement MGM is famous for when you play classics like MGM Grand Millions or popular games like Blackjack, Baccarat, and Roulette.
00:56:53.100With our ever-growing library of digital slot games, alert selection of online table games, and signature BetMGM service, there's no better way to bring the excitement and ambience of Las Vegas home to you than with BetMGM Casino.
00:58:54.120It's social media platforms incentivized by advertisers.
00:58:57.840And perhaps something else, perhaps something more nefarious, started algorithmically promoting a certain ideology to young people.
00:59:05.580And the reason why these terms were appearing in the media was because this is what the social media companies would promote.
00:59:11.200So if you worked for Puffington Post, for instance, and you read an article that said George W. Bush is great, or, you know, let's say it's 2008 and it's the election.
00:59:20.720If you write John McCain is good, you're not going to get shares.
01:00:00.060And it really, really was tested and proven out during World War II.
01:00:05.700So when you think about organizations like BBC and other, you know, media outlets of recognition or name, of brand here in this country, and the OSS became masters of it.
01:00:39.220To influence the culture of your music.
01:00:40.640You know, and, you know, the mockingbird and I mean, all the different, there's, there's different names for some of these different operations that the, that the intelligence community got into.
01:00:48.880And the, the, the development of, of human capital people that would get trained in different capabilities.
01:00:58.760And then they would move them into the corporate media, you know, and, you know, principally the big three for a while.
01:01:06.300And then, of course, when cable news came out, and that's why, that's why I'm, I'm such a big believer in, and Sean, you just said it about, you know, where, where people have come, right?
01:01:17.360Where, what, what Americans are now, Americans are now going to where there's freedom, where they feel there's a sense of liberty in, on the airwaves.
01:01:26.840And there are places like, you know, it's places like, you know, it's places like your, your show and other shows where people are, they can move.
01:01:33.260They don't have to, they don't have to sit there and go in front of a TV any longer because innovation, technology, hell, we haven't even, I don't think we've scratched the surface on artificial intelligence yet.
01:01:44.880We haven't scratched the surface on it.
01:01:46.400So, you know, you mentioned before that the plan was eight years of Obama, eight years of Hillary, and Tim Kast live from Daily Wire would not exist.
01:01:53.420Next, is, is there, you know, if they're not through with Trump, and this is just, what do you say, it's, it's D-Day plus one.
01:02:21.280Where, like, all of a sudden, like, everything stops, and the United States government comes in and goes, we are, you know, we, there's an alert.
01:02:42.120Well, it's interesting, because I, you know, I went, I went up to the Western mountains in North Carolina about two weeks ago, spent a couple of days up there, you know,
01:02:50.700helping out and just doing an assessment of, of the situation.
01:02:54.180And it's the first time in, like, 45 years for me being on a ham radio.
01:03:02.700So the, the, and I have a background, I have one of my master's degrees is in telecommunications.
01:03:08.140And, and the world of sort of, of, of the terrestrial world of communications is fascinating if you really deeply understand it.
01:03:17.060So, uh, ham radio operators, that's why ham radio operators, there's not a lot of them, you're not going to find them all over the place, but they, but they exist.
01:03:25.520So if the government comes in and says, we're going to shut down communications in this country, which they could do.
01:03:32.140Like the, the FCC, the FCC, Federal Communications Commission, it is the most, to me, it's one of the most powerful positions in the government.
01:03:41.960It's a person that's, that's generally chosen for about 10 years.
01:03:45.920It's very powerful because they own the internet.
01:03:49.220So you're, we, we are communicating over a segment of the internet.
01:03:55.720It's actually, and you kind of go, well, who owns it then?
01:03:58.600Well, it's supposed to be, you know, actually we own it, right?
01:04:02.360The American people own it because we kind of run it because of all these satellites and all these different things.
01:04:07.420You know, like telephones that you probably might've had when you were a little kid, you know, the old two pair copper wire, because we ran copper all over this country.
01:04:15.940So the U.S. government has done some smart things for purposes of national security to be able to control communications when they need to, to get out things like a warning, like we've got incoming, you know, nuclear attack.
01:04:29.360So, you know, I mean, I grew up in the days of schools where we had to duck underneath our desks, okay?
01:04:35.520So the government can do that if they want to.
01:05:00.020Um, no, I mean, you mentioned the, the two shots.
01:05:03.100I was actually thinking earlier, I was wondering what your sense about how much, if the, the two individuals that attack, that were trying to, uh, that tried to assassinate Trump, if they were, um, lone wolves or if they were.
01:05:37.900Cause there's no way in the world that a U S citizen like him, that kind of a profile and what he was doing is going to be wandering around out there on a battlefield without the, without the CIA knowing that he was out there doing it.
01:05:49.220And maybe, you know, I mean, I want to know, that's what I want to know.
01:05:54.700I've, I've been very, you know, pretty public about this.
01:05:57.260The other thing is, you know, there's a, there's, there's some other potential evidence of other people that were working with this guy that are, you know, that are now in Congress.
01:06:23.300And the one thing, you know, somebody goes and hangs himself in a barracks or they shoot themselves at home and everybody goes, Oh my God, this is so sad.
01:06:30.860And it is, it's a tragedy for the families, for what, you know, whoever's left behind.
01:06:35.420But the one thing that I've learned in, in all of the, the investigations that I've been involved in with suicides, and it's like a lone wolf.
01:06:41.280Once you start to dig in climate change, a problem so huge.
01:06:48.680I'm Marco Chaunovet, climate reporter for the Toronto Star.
01:06:52.380I meet a lot of smart people doing really inspiring things in this space all the time.
01:06:58.100Small things that add up to big climate benefits.
01:07:01.200Small things, big climate, wherever you get your favorite podcasts.
01:07:05.340The Climate Solutions Podcast is brought to you by SmartFlow from Enbridge Sustain.
01:07:13.240Get ready for Las Vegas-style action at BetMGM, the king of online casinos.
01:07:19.020Enjoy casino games at your fingertips with the same Vegas strip excitement MGM is famous for when you play classics like MGM Grand Millions or popular games like Blackjack, Baccarat, and Roulette.
01:07:30.680With our ever-growing library of digital slot games, a large selection of online table games, and signature BetMGM service, there's no better way to bring the excitement and ambience of Las Vegas home to you than with BetMGM Casino.
01:07:55.580If you have questions or concerns about your gambling or someone close to you, please contact ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600 to speak to an advisor free of charge.
01:08:07.000BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGamingOntario.
01:08:10.240And you start to look at the profile and the activities and the behavior, the relationships of that person that committed suicide.
01:08:17.480I guarantee, and it's been 100%, and I've dealt with many, you know, over my career, either investigating another unit or my own unit, where somebody else always knew.
01:08:29.220The person said, I'm going to kill myself.
01:08:33.340So when we say, oh, the lone wolf, you know, I mean, we've seen examples of, you know, where the mother knew the kid had three guns or the mother bought the guns and she's, you know, and she let them have them.
01:09:09.040They become wealthy, and they drive themselves to the bone.
01:09:12.140And then their children inherit the company and have a general idea of how to maintain and run things because they watch their parents or their dad do it.
01:09:18.600And then the grandkid inherits the company, has no idea.
01:09:23.780And then eventually the company just is sold off, falls apart, and they lose their money.
01:09:27.360And I feel like the grandchildren of those who are inheriting the deep state have no idea how to maintain what was built by their grandparents.
01:09:36.320And so we end up seeing this case with Trump in Butler, PA, which, but for the grace of God, Donald Trump dodged a bullet.
01:09:43.040But you look at the story in and of itself, and the guy snuck in, and they knew, did nothing.
01:09:55.720They, for whatever reason, did not have Secret Service stationed on top of a roof with a line of sight directly to the president.
01:10:02.880Local police said four days before they gave advanced warning to the Secret Service to cover this.
01:10:07.540The day before the shooting, the FBI claims to have alerted the Secret Service of a plot to assassinate Donald Trump.
01:10:14.660Donald, they identified this guy three hours, two hours, 24 minutes, 10 minutes before the shot was fired, and they released Donald Trump from the holding area.
01:10:23.300When the shooter was identified on the roof, they did not remove Donald Trump from the stage.
01:10:29.460There is no way that's a lone wolf accident.
01:10:33.100You would have to be, look, listen, I don't like conspiracy theories.
01:10:39.340These people are jumping from, it's, you know, I always tell people, when I see these crazy conspiracies, you know, be it there's a military base under the Denver airport because the horse, Belucifer, I'm like, you've taken a jigsaw piece, you've looked at a hole, and you're mashing it with a hammer to make it fit.
01:10:56.280But this crook story out of Butler, PA, if you say this was a lone wolf accident, you are taking a jigsaw piece that does not fit and bashing it with a hammer until it's mashed into this position.
01:11:10.300There's no way two law enforcement agencies allowed this guy for several hours to bypass every single degree of security with a weapon and a range finder.
01:11:21.560And when the local law enforcement body camera comes out and he's, the cop's pulling himself up and he sees him and the guy points a gun at him.
01:11:28.340From that moment, they didn't say, get the president off the stage.
01:11:32.900You had, I think it was what, it was at 30 seconds.
01:11:45.420But you know, we don't even need to get to that point.
01:11:46.780Dan Bongino points out, having worked Secret Service, there's a holding area where they keep the president if there is an identified threat.
01:11:56.000They identified Brooks several hours in advance, an hour in advance, 20 some odd minutes, 10 minutes.
01:12:02.060And they said, no, Trump, you're good to go.
01:12:07.580So it's, it's, look, I'm not saying I know what happened.
01:12:09.720I'm saying if you believe the lone wolf theory of a crazy guy who snuck in, you are the most extreme of conspiracy theorists making the wildest and most psychotic and schizophrenic assumptions to make that story.
01:12:22.460Well, no, most, actually, the bigger argument I hear generally is it was fake.
01:12:26.060That's, that's what I generally get from the left, actually, is that it was a fake assassination.
01:12:59.940What happened actually was pretty, to me, it was pretty clear.
01:13:03.840Because I think a lot of us said they're going to kill this guy, right?
01:13:05.840We all were waiting for this, and it was a miraculous, it was an amazing moment, energetically, for the country to see him survive.
01:13:12.240It was the aversion of JFK, because a lot of us who know, you know, talk about the crazy conspiracy theory growing up.
01:13:17.440That was, you know, the film I was in as a kid, and I knew a lot about as a kid growing up.
01:13:22.620You know, the JFK assassination was devastating for your generation.
01:13:25.680And it marked the baby boomers, him, MLK, Malcolm X, RFK, destroyed that generation psychologically in many ways.
01:13:34.700I mean, you know, my family, we grew up as Democrats, you know, stayed around, you know, southeastern New England, big, big fans of the Kennedy family.
01:13:46.860I mean, I, you know, I went through my, you know, actually, when I, when I went into the White House as a national security advisor, I was a, quote unquote, registered Democrat.
01:13:54.820You know, like I say, I don't give a shit about the politics as much as about the direction that the country's taken.
01:14:00.700I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm still feeling pretty good.
01:14:04.260We can talk about, you know, the deep state was, was going, going after all these individuals going after you, but it does seem like they're losing.
01:14:28.500Like, you know, like I, like we were talking earlier, you know, we all, I mean, I was so elated when, when the, you know, when it was all announced on Tuesday night.
01:14:38.300And I'm thinking to myself, man, talk about dodging a bullet.
01:14:42.540You know, a lot of people dodged a bullet.
01:15:12.040I, this is, but I firmly believe what I am saying.
01:15:16.920And it doesn't come from something that I just got up this morning and read on the internet.
01:15:21.500It comes from a lifetime of experience studying, fighting, you know, being, being persecuted and, and living in an environment that has, my life has been examining the, the threats that, that come against the United States of America.
01:15:43.060As a young officer, yeah, it's a, it's on the battlefield and it's a, and it's formations and, and military units.
01:15:48.820But as I got more senior, it's looking at these ideologies that compete against the United States of America.
01:15:54.500And it kind of goes back to what you had talked about where you asked earlier.
01:15:57.960And I'm not sure I answered the question, you know, clearly, but like, it's kind of like, why do they want this?
01:16:04.680And I was talking to, I get into the whole geology thing.
01:16:07.280I mean, they want it because it's, it's absolute power.
01:16:11.520I mean, when you think about, when you think about the Bolshevik revolution, when you think about guys like the rise of Adolf Hitler, when you think about Mao Zedong, I mean, China would not exist today were it not for the United States of America going in and, and, and beating the pants off of the imperialist Japanese and driving them from modern day Burma all the way back to Japan.
01:16:32.180And then dropping two atom bombs because the first one, it's why the reason why we dropped the second one, because the first one didn't convince them enough.
01:16:42.740So if you go back 20 years, you've got people like Alex Jones, very, very anti-government, very critical of everything in government.
01:16:51.140Uh, still many of these, uh, these individuals consider themselves to be people who love America and the double conspiracy is that the plan actually isn't to go after Donald Trump.
01:17:02.760The plan is to get the anti-American element to support the government as a whole.
01:17:10.940And so, and I'm not, I'm not saying it's true.
01:17:13.280I'm explaining the double conspiracy, it's an inverse conspiracy, not a double conspiracy.
01:17:16.060The idea was the deep state comes together and says, we have had this persistent dissenting faction that no matter what hates Congress, hates the Supreme court.
01:17:32.120How do we get these people to invert their ideology and wave the American flag and cheer for the establishment, the entire structure of U.S. government?
01:17:43.880So what they do is you can't, you can't just come out and say, this is the guy, trust me, because people are going to say, yeah, yeah, we've been there.
01:17:51.920What you do is you bring about a guy who is opposed by the machine.
01:17:55.980You choose one of the most unlikable candidates to receive support from every institution, criticizing and lying about who, about your real choice.
01:18:05.540So as it goes, the deep state wants Trump to be president, but they need him to be an underdog fighting against them.
01:18:17.440They fabricate the scenario where the evil government is trying to stop the people from rising up.
01:18:22.460And 10 years later, you've got anarchists and conspiracy theorists cheering on the Senate Supreme Court and the executive branch in all of their on all of their glory and all of their plans and all of their missions are receiving the backing.
01:18:34.880Not just because this is the man who defeated the deep state, but because you've created a tribal component where a large portion of the right, I wouldn't say the majority, have to oppose the left.
01:18:49.300Like in what reality does it make sense to give children sex changes?
01:18:52.460So I'm not saying the conspiracy theory is true.
01:18:54.220I'm saying since Donald Trump began to run, I was in Fort Lauderdale and there were protesters outside of his rally and they were holding up signs with our images of Trump and Hillary Clinton hanging out and being friends.
01:20:21.200I mean, Jesus, you know, so I I've heard that not in the detail and not in the in the way that you just articulated, which I really find fascinating for.
01:20:35.300Number one, having met him, spoken with him, traveled with him, served for him and gotten to know him and his family, particularly Eric, Don Jr.
01:20:50.000But but really, Eric, I've gotten to know Eric quite quite well.
01:20:52.840You know, and Ivanka, Jared, I mean, others in their family, you know, there's no effing way in the world that that is a you know, there's there's nothing true to that.
01:21:05.860People will believe that kind of stuff, though.
01:21:10.020I think it's this is the problem I have with conspiracy theories is that you have to make tremendous leaps and tremendous assumptions to get to that point.
01:21:16.560Right. And Occam's razor suggests in the absence of evidence, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions tends to be correct.
01:21:22.400And that is a very, very popular celebrity with his name in gold letters on tops of buildings was able to muster up more popular support than one of the most despised politicians in history, Hillary Clinton.
01:21:32.740And they wanted her to be in charge so that she could perpetuate these wars in the Middle East.
01:21:37.600And the reason I would say outright, you know, I bring up the conspiracy theory because I think it's funny.
01:21:41.260But the reason I would just give my my counterpoint as to why it's absolutely not true is that the near complete reversal of deep state interventionist foreign policy under Donald Trump.
01:21:51.100It would make no sense if that was the case.
01:21:53.020I think I think the more likely conspiracy is the idea that he could they thought maybe at some level he could be a useful idiot.
01:21:58.620Right. So I remember when he first was running and there was this whole question, you know, did the Clintons put him up to this?
01:22:03.900Is he doing this for more attention? Is he trying to make money off of this? Right.
01:22:07.500And you just watch the actions, you know, taking someone like you who certainly the Obama literally said about Flynn, you know, don't hire Flynn.
01:22:14.440This guy's dangerous. Why? Because he knows he knows how the deep state works.
01:22:18.380He could have come in there and clean things out. Trump took you on. He didn't have to do that.
01:22:21.920He was I think at some level there was a hope that they could play him and they and they did to a certain extent.
01:22:28.620But not fully, because even though they got a Bolton in there, but he wouldn't start, you know, he wouldn't escalate.
01:22:33.020He wouldn't escalate against Iran. I mean, even before that, I'm sorry, Sean, even before that, I think the the placement of Mike Pence as a vice president, you know, Trump didn't know him.
01:22:44.820You know, I mean, so it's like the establishment. You put this modifying element person, you know, in into his orbit.
01:22:55.060I mean, so so Trump won the presidency. Mike Pence became the vice president. Trump wins the presidency.
01:23:01.020So, OK, good. Mike helped him win the vice presidency. But his he you know, his position was to keep to kind of be a modifying element or force within the White House to keep him calm, you know, to kind of keep going along with the all the way, all the way to January 6th.
01:23:19.760And I think you'll see through the course of the series why the conspiracy worked in the sense that Trump came in there with this attitude of, hey, why are we financing NATO?
01:23:28.480Hey, why can't we get along with the Russians? That was the biggest that was the trigger point for them.
01:23:32.240They could not allow us to have good relations with Russia, which really could have stabilized a lot in the last eight years.
01:23:37.760It would not have had the Ukraine war, as you know, and this this conspiracy, as you know, with the with the FBI notes and other things, they had to set this Russian collusion thing up so that he could not do what he wanted to do before coming into office, which was to work with Russia.
01:23:50.320And I know when we were doing the filming for this, I mean, one of the things that, again, people you got to you got to look at not just a, you know, a blip on the screen, you got to look at the kind of the totality of of events over time and to really, you know, to make a judgment, to make a really strong, valid judgment on something, you know, instead of just assuming that these things occurred.
01:24:14.100So so Russia's relationship with the United States of America during the Obama administration, I mean, we were working directly with the Russians in Syria.
01:24:24.460I mean, we're flying, you know, we're flying aircraft. They're flying aircraft. We're we're we're going after, you know, terrorists. They're going after terrorists. We're working together. We're communicating.
01:24:33.860I mean, it was like they had a they had a it was at least a half of a naval fleet first time ever in the Eastern Med at the time that they're conducting operations where our military is working with them.
01:24:46.400During my earlier time in the military, after the collapse of the of the Soviet Union and the ending of the Cold War, we began to to to have what's called the partners for peace operations.
01:24:57.780Right. I mean, we would have extra training exercise with them. I how I attended command and general staff college at at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
01:25:06.200And in my staff group was a Russian colonel. Right. I mean, so there was all this outreach we have had.
01:25:12.720We have actually had positive relations with Russia for a long time.
01:25:17.220And then all of a sudden, then all of a sudden they became like the boogeyman again.
01:25:22.580Can you tell us a little bit about the Qatar Turkey pipeline?
01:25:26.480I bring it up quite a bit, but I'm curious to your experience.
01:25:29.720So the story that that I've followed for a long time and the reason why Russia becomes this boogeyman,
01:25:34.340the United States wanted to build a pipeline from Qatar through Syria through Turkey into Europe to compete with Gazprom.
01:26:01.860Seems like Barack Obama just can't get a hold of things and it's destabilizing the region.
01:26:05.440And I think the bigger picture seems to be that once Syria is kind of out of it, like Assad seems to maintain control, all of a sudden you get the Burisma scandal.
01:26:18.720And it seems like the United States, the West and the and these intelligence agencies are trying to find a way to disrupt Russia's energy control into Europe.
01:26:28.060The argument they've made when they try to be less conspiratorial is, oh, it's just it's hard to grow the European economy with these with with this expense that we're facing.
01:26:37.680And you see riots over these prices and thus we have to do something to offset Russia's control.
01:26:44.640But when you get the the Nord Stream bombing, you get the U.S. seemingly odd support for Ukraine in this conflict.
01:26:52.820It really does feel like it's just the West, Europe, the United States, NATO trying to destroy Russia so that they can establish control over energy or something to that effect.
01:27:03.200Yeah. So, you know, we've talked about the energy resources here in this country and, you know, and there's a lot more detail to that.
01:27:10.780But we have extraordinary capacity here. And I think Trump is is is right to use the the the the geography, the geology, the energy capabilities that we have to leverage as a as a massive strength,
01:27:24.580as a as a as a way for us to show like a healthy body of America to really get our economy going again.
01:27:31.720That puts us in a in a seat, you know, sort of in the cat catbird seat.
01:27:35.260So what you're talking about is is all of these different flows of of of a capability, primarily energy.
01:27:43.500There's three principal commodities on the planet that all nation states, you know, they all have to have all human beings have to have.
01:27:53.120And that's food, water and energy, food, water and energy.
01:27:56.880And in some cases, you can't have the you can't have the first two without the energy resources to be able to drive the productivity,
01:28:02.760the production, the water, you know, getting getting water out of the ground.
01:28:06.980I mean, and and and purifying it, all the things that has to happen.
01:28:10.660Those are the three principal things. So where you have it and, you know, the Persian Gulf, right?
01:28:15.380We've been putting aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf for decades to protect the free flow of oil out of the out of the Straits of Hormuz.
01:28:23.980And guess who benefits the most? China.
01:28:27.220Forty percent of China's energy comes out of the Straits of comes through the Straits of Hormuz.
01:28:31.840Forty percent. Because China doesn't have like the great wealth that that they that we have in this country or that Russia has.
01:28:39.460And China and Russia relationships in the past weren't so great.
01:28:43.240And we were always trying to we were the United States of America was always trying to work that alliance.
01:28:47.460OK, but for a long time, that was Reagan. Reagan was great at that.
01:28:51.480He was like he was really trying to make sure that that he was trying to keep Russia away from a Chinese, you know, a Sino China block.
01:29:03.560And so but now that that that we've pushed them into that, we've pushed them into that in a big way because because of stupidity, because of incompetence and just dumb people.
01:29:13.220And when that happens, because one of the things that that occurs, you know, get ready for a Las Vegas style action of BetMGM, the king of online casinos.

01:33:26.060And for very, you know, I mean, I, one of the books I wrote talks about the idea that war is the norm in human history and peace is the aberration.
01:33:35.200That's why when Trump comes into office in 2017 and he doesn't go to war, everybody's like, oh my God, this is a, you know, this is a guy that's, and I, and I tell people, you know, Tim, I'm not anti-war.
01:33:50.600You know, I mean, there are times when, you know, you know what I'm saying?
01:33:53.440I mean, it's like, I don't want us to go to war.
01:33:55.160I'm not, I don't, I'm not, you know, you know, as a, as a former military guy, it's not, that's not my thing.
01:34:01.840I, but I, when I, when I look at stupid things and, and, and constant participation in warfare for, for things like resources, like we're protecting the Straits of Hormuz.
01:34:12.820I mean, you know, one thing I say too, is I hear from most people that are like, oh, I oppose the, I oppose, I oppose conscription in the military draft.
01:34:19.240And I always said, everybody, no, you don't.
01:34:21.540If China landed a bunch of boats in the shores of North Carolina and started storming in and massacring everybody, you'd say, what can I do to help in two seconds?
01:34:30.140The issue is that we oppose drafting for these interventionist fake wars overseas.
01:34:34.220We don't understand, and we don't want to be involved in.
01:34:36.740If it came down to you defending your own home, I imagine, sure, some people are going to be like, I ain't fighting, get away from me.
01:34:42.160But that's what we're seeing right now, and that's what we saw, you know, on January 6th, and we've been seeing for the last four years, there's a serious war going on in our country for information.
01:34:51.480You know, as Alex Jordan's talked about, info wars, right?
01:35:02.600I understand how this works, as we talked about the recruitment process, the recruitment into an education system that tells you, you know, this is normal.
01:35:09.300This is the way it's supposed to be, climate change, we have to cut down our carbon dioxide.
01:35:13.380It's like, this is the insanity that gets pushed, right, by the establishment, so then you have to buy into it.
01:35:19.100Oh, you have to be a, you know, a Democrat who, you know, who believes in DEI, who believes in, you know, being a good person, putting your mask on, getting your vaccine, all this shit.
01:35:27.600It's information war that starts when you're young, and to basically see how much are you going to conform, and that's why they're making this point in the new election.
01:35:34.560Oh, the most educated states all vote Democrat.
01:35:36.860I'm like, you mean the most indoctrinated, because an intelligent person can get an education, but an education does not make you intelligent.
01:35:44.060There's an overlap of where people assume that education equals intelligence, and it's more likely that education maps onto indoctrination, as in you know the things that the establishment wants you to know.
01:36:00.320You have the narrative that the establishment wants you to know.
01:36:03.700It doesn't mean that you're particularly, that you're definitely going to be more intelligent than other people that don't go to college or whatever.
01:36:12.860Are you able to understand that there is a system that you're performing for, right?
01:36:16.560And that was a lot of the whole education system backed by the Rockefellers in the beginning and whatnot as a Prussian model of basically saying, let's make you into a good worker.
01:36:26.980And so, I mean, we're really in this really weird place where Democrats go, the Republicans are banning books.
01:36:31.300I'm like, do you understand that education itself is based on books that have been written for you by an establishment that says this is okay to teach kids?
01:36:40.980It's like they don't talk about things that we're discussing here.
01:36:43.320They just tell you very rote things, and then they'll say, you know, and then if they want to lean you in one direction, they'll be like, now it's okay.
01:36:49.420We have to say, you know, Columbus was bad.
01:36:53.900I mean, we're changing in statues now.
01:36:55.680I mean, we don't even, this is probably something that people say all the time, but we don't even teach our, the citizens of the U.S. how our government works anymore.
01:37:07.720And they've been replacing, you know, the ideas that, or the instruction that explains how the republic works, they've been replacing it with simplified democracy as an idea.
01:37:19.420And that's not, I mean, democracy is, it's a simple idea, but our government is much more complex the way that our system works.
01:37:29.320And it's intended to be more complex than just simple democracy because a simple democracy is going to end up with, you know, essentially mob rule.
01:37:37.960But I remember very clearly in 2017 when Trump came in, it was the elites basically doubling down saying, my God, we can't let these deplorables tell us what to do actually.
01:37:46.160So there was something very democratic to Trump's rise, but it was this resentment from the elite because, as you said, they understand the system.
01:37:55.360But the whole point is you, the common people, aren't supposed to understand it.
01:37:58.760So when you start talking about conspiracies, not just theories, sure, but real conspiracies, really understanding the dynamics of these systems, the fact that they are so intertwined.
01:38:07.540And going back to your generational wealth issue, it's actually, sure, three generations if you're coming up now, but if you're a Rockefeller, if you're a Rothschild, if you're even these older families that go back and, you know, you talk to them in Europe and they can trace their ancestry to 1200.
01:38:22.200You know, they say if your money comes from after 1200 AD, you're nouveau riche.
01:38:26.660Okay, like this is old money, old ideologies, old, and that's the whole infrastructure of it.
01:38:31.920So when Wells wrote the New World Order book, H.G. Wells wrote it, the whole point was we're going to start bringing in the, you know, the blacks and the Latinos and the, you know, the colonial peoples of the British Empire into our system.
01:38:45.200That was the whole Rhodes Scholarship model is that it was to bring people in to say we're going to incorporate you so that you, the former colonies, can run the system.
01:38:52.480And that's what, you know, that's what we see all over the world, right, the corruption, the idea of these, you know, elites all over the world that are corrupted.
