#229 America Unplugged: Knicks Fever, Presidential Sleepovers & the UFC Shake‑Up

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,760
Donald Jeffries, author of Hidden History and Survival of the Richest, host of the Donald

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:16,080
Jeffries Show, Billy Ray Valentine, host of the Infinite Fringe Podcast, researcher, truth

3
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:23,760
seeker from the Bronx, New York, Tony Arterburn, radio host, combat veteran, precious metals

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,799
analyst, and alt historian. Together, they take on the headlines of the week, decode the

5
00:00:30,799 --> 00:00:37,919
disinformation, and plow through the mainstream propaganda, unauthorized, unscripted, and

6
00:00:37,919 --> 00:00:48,320
un-intimidated. This is America Unplugged. What is going on? How is everybody doing today?

7
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,599
It is America Unplugged. My name is Billy Ray Valentine. It is the War on Reality Report.

8
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,840
Tony Arterburn, the wisest of all the wolves, is here with me today. We got to work on that

9
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:05,440
intro. We got to rework it, right? Because I don't host the Infinite Fringe anymore, right?

10
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,559
But you did.

11
00:01:06,559 --> 00:01:07,199
I did.

12
00:01:07,199 --> 00:01:09,680
It's an archive. People can go back and look at it.

13
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,360
They could. I'm not taking it down.

14
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,639
You should edit it.

15
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:14,239
I might transform it at some point. What's up?

16
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:16,320
Former host. Current host.

17
00:01:17,199 --> 00:01:17,680
Former.

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:18,720
Gorilla underground.

19
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,360
It's even that. I haven't done that in like a month.

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,360
Human being who lives in New York. I was thinking of this today.

21
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:37,279
You should open up a bakery and pub in New York. It's called Bread and Circus.

22
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,160
And you serve orange beer. Okay? For the orange man.

23
00:01:42,639 --> 00:01:48,559
For the Knicks. I'll serve orange and blue beer for the Knicks. We're going to do that for the

24
00:01:48,559 --> 00:01:55,120
New York Knicks. We're losing our minds here in New York. And you know what? I'm loving it. I'm

25
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,080
here for it. The Knicks have broken my heart for years and years and years and years. And now it

26
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:09,119
looks like we're up 2-0 in a thriller of a game last night, right? It looks like we have a shot

27
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,039
to win an NBA championship. Now, that being said, we're going to need the National Guard here in

28
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:23,039
the U.S., in New York when it happens. Because all hell's going to lose. But I'm glad you mentioned

29
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:26,479
the orange beer because it triggered this in my brain. And I want to talk to the people real

30
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:33,360
quick. So all you New York haters, right? All around the freaking world now, everybody's a

31
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,720
New York fan. You went down to San Antonio. Half that crowd was wearing New York Knicks jerseys.

32
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,960
And then after the game, they took over the lobby, right? So I'm saying some of these people are

33
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,119
traveling to the game, but a lot of these people are transplants, people that have left New York

34
00:02:49,119 --> 00:02:54,880
and still want to be a part of New York. And that's cool. I'm cool with that. You're still

35
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,399
a New Yorker. It's a state of mind, right? But to all the hypocrites, and I know several of them,

36
00:03:00,399 --> 00:03:04,320
that are like, oh, we want to leave New York. New York sucks. New York is this. New York is that.

37
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,520
And then this comes around and they're playing New York, New York by Frank Sinatra. Or New York

38
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,240
by Ja Rule, you know, and I got a hundred guns, a hundred clips. Everybody's playing that all over

39
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,679
the place. Now you're a New Yorker, right? Now it's cool to be from New York and you wear

40
00:03:19,679 --> 00:03:24,639
jerseys that say New York on them and hats with New York on them. Now it's cool, right?

41
00:03:25,839 --> 00:03:32,800
Hypocrites, all of you. And to those people that are actually true Blue Knick fans and are New

42
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,279
Yorkers that have left New York because they were priced out of New York, but they still want to be

43
00:03:37,279 --> 00:03:41,600
a part of New York, I get it. You are still New Yorkers and we're still cool with you.

44
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,720
You guys are fine. No problem. Just keep in mind that the Knicks could blow this, okay?

45
00:03:47,679 --> 00:03:52,160
Just history says that the Knicks could just completely blow this. I think we have a good

46
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,119
shot at this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I will be going nuts on the streets of Manhattan

47
00:03:57,119 --> 00:04:01,119
if this happens, okay? I'm just going to tell you, I may not show up to America unplugged.

48
00:04:01,119 --> 00:04:07,199
You may not hear anything from me for weeks at a time until I resurface from, I don't know,

49
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:12,320
from the euphoria of the Knicks winning a championship in my lifetime. I'd love to see it.

50
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,799
Tony Arterburn, your thoughts? I only watch sports that are on the White House lawn now.

51
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:24,640
Unless we do a slap contest inside the Smithsonian, which I figure is next or-

52
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,640
Let's do it. Yeah, I mean, we can-

53
00:04:26,799 --> 00:04:28,239
In front of the Constitution.

54
00:04:28,239 --> 00:04:31,119
Women's beach volleyball inside the National Archives.

55
00:04:31,119 --> 00:04:31,600
Yes.

56
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,799
Who's with me?

57
00:04:32,799 --> 00:04:33,839
I'm with you.

58
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,399
Okay.

59
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:35,440
I'd go see that.

60
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,920
It's got to be in a government building.

61
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,559
All right. All right. In front of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

62
00:04:42,559 --> 00:04:49,359
It's dope. Ashley is joining us here today. How are you from Knights of the Storm? No legendary

63
00:04:49,359 --> 00:04:58,799
Don Jeffries. He cleared out his garage and he's selling stuff. So you can roll up to Don right now

64
00:04:58,799 --> 00:05:05,359
and buy some of his stuff, support the cause, and get an autograph from the legendary Don

65
00:05:05,359 --> 00:05:08,720
Jeffries. Just saying if you're in the area. Okay, this is what he's doing right now. But

66
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,839
Ashley is here with us. Thank you for joining us. To what do we owe the honor of you being here?

67
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,320
Well, I asked you to be here, so I guess it's because of that. But anyway, how are you?

68
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,920
Thank you so much for inviting me on today. I'm looking forward to this. I always watch

69
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:30,880
AU every single Saturday that I'm available and enjoy the different things that you end

70
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,839
up discussing and different viewpoints. And I'm looking forward to it. So thank you so much.

71
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,480
All right. Fantastic. Everybody in the chat, what's up? How are you?

72
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,880
I am. There are quite a few things to get into. And Tony led into the bread and circus of it all.

73
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:48,799
To add to that, because we were going to talk about the nonsense that's going on in front of

74
00:05:48,799 --> 00:05:56,480
the White House in this UFC event, Trump was falling asleep on camera. I mean, like heavy.

75
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:06,000
And there was a lot of criticism for Joe Biden doing things like this. I don't feel the same

76
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,200
energy for the buffoon in chief, the child in chief that can't stay awake. Should there be some

77
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,760
type of freaking age limits to this? Like these people are clearly not qualified to run

78
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,959
the United States of America. I mean, Trump, for a lot of reasons, of course.

79
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,760
But this is two very elderly men back to back that have been running this country,

80
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:33,920
and they can't stay awake in the world's most important moments. What's going on here?

81
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,279
What's up, Tom? Well, it's a presidential tradition now.

82
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:43,040
Go ahead. If you go back through history, Edith Wilson was in charge of the Wilson

83
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,880
administration in his second term because he had a stroke. And so actually we've had a woman

84
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:53,119
president. She signed all of his documents in the last, I think, 18 months of his presidency.

85
00:06:53,119 --> 00:07:01,760
So we had that and we've had obese presidents. We've had Reagan had signs of Alzheimer's at the

86
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,880
end of his presidency. They kind of insulated him, kept him away from everybody. George W.

87
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,959
Bush was clearly never fit to be anything near president of the United States, and they

88
00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:20,399
kept him insulated and maybe gave him a helmet and all the other trappings of watching somebody

89
00:07:21,119 --> 00:07:30,799
who has those kind of needs. I really don't know about age limits. Back when I ran for Congress,

90
00:07:32,559 --> 00:07:35,519
I've told this story that I ran against the last World War II veteran,

91
00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:40,799
and he surprised the hell out of me how sharp he was at 90. I mean, it was it was insane,

92
00:07:40,799 --> 00:07:45,920
the history that he knew. And he could quote, he and I would talk for hours about poetry and

93
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,959
history and people that he knew. So I changed my mind after that. I thought, well, you know,

94
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:56,799
maybe there's special exceptions. I don't like to to do ageism, but it does seem that especially

95
00:07:56,799 --> 00:08:03,519
with the boomer generation, they have just engulfed us with their demographic over Congress

96
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:09,119
for decade after decade. They just have this staying power. So it's really about a generational

97
00:08:09,119 --> 00:08:15,839
issue that's not a good mix anymore. Another demographic that is really in a statistic that

98
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:20,959
is really shocking is the amount of service that people do. Now, you don't have to serve in the

99
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:26,079
military, and I don't even advocate it for right now. But it's weird that we have such a militaristic

100
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:32,000
country and our leaders don't have military, most of the time don't have military service.

101
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:38,400
And they also are really into war. So that's something like Congress in the night in 1973.

102
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:44,880
And we're going to talk about that. Congress in 73 voted to limit presidential powers on conducting

103
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,679
war. And we're digging that back up. Finally, we're digging up the greatest hits. We haven't

104
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:56,799
used the 1973 revolution resolution until now. But back then it was like like 75 percent of Congress

105
00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:02,880
was made up of military veterans. And now it's like 15 percent. And I mean, maybe it's lower.

106
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:09,840
It was like 15 percent eight years ago. It's probably lower. So I think there's just the

107
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:16,320
continuity of rule by people that are so out of touch. And speaking out of touch, I covered on my

108
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,239
show and I'll leave you with this. We're going to probably get into the Israel question. But there's

109
00:09:20,239 --> 00:09:25,840
been a resolution by a congressman that's been thrown out that we should we should merge our

110
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:32,080
military, stop giving foreign aid to Israel and just go ahead and merge the defense relationship

111
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:39,119
with Israel. So a lot of ass kissing going on. And it's funny because it's also that narrative

112
00:09:39,119 --> 00:09:45,840
is collapsing before our eyes. So fun times. Yeah, absolutely. Kenny Powers, man, I love you,

113
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,640
but you're about to get banned for this comment. OK, this is opening up old wounds. Please

114
00:09:51,359 --> 00:09:56,479
have mercy on me. OK, you can talk to me about anything else, but that that's that's a really

115
00:09:56,479 --> 00:10:02,640
bad memory of my childhood. So please, please. Next time. No restraint. You're getting banned.

116
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:12,799
Love you, Ken. Ashley, you have any thoughts? I do have thoughts. Yes, I think that what we're

117
00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:16,000
seeing right now in the Middle East is a real shit show. I think we're going to get into that.

118
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,760
We do have a lot of moving parts to what is happening. And I think that in part, like there's

119
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,559
a lot of things that are moving very quickly or you have these outrageous things being introduced,

120
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,880
like what Tony was talking about with merging the military. But then you also have this

121
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:38,559
hurry up and wait type situation. And I have likened that to maybe a little bit of a gladio

122
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:44,320
type situation of keeping that strategy of tension. And I think that it psychologically

123
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,479
does something to people in general to be feeling like we're on the brink of war,

124
00:10:50,479 --> 00:10:56,479
particularly with the relationship or the way that Iran has been presented as a boogeyman for

125
00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:02,960
so many decades now. So I feel like that is one of the pieces, then obviously this relationship

126
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:11,280
with Israel that Trump and his donors have and Bibi Netanyahu, as well as what is seemingly

127
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:18,640
rising anti-Zionist and anti-Israel rhetoric here in the States. People are fed up with that.

128
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:24,320
And then I wanted to make a quick comment. Tony is talking about, so the fight is called UFC

129
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:32,320
Freedom 250. And I feel like it makes me want to puke. It reminds me, it makes me feel like

130
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:39,359
we live in idiocracy, literally. We do. We do. I'm expecting President Camacho to come out,

131
00:11:39,359 --> 00:11:48,559
but there's also just the hypocrisy of calling it UFC Freedom 250. And then we have two fighters

132
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,039
who we're not going to be fighting, but we're going to be in attendance, which is Sean Strickland

133
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:58,799
and Bryce Mitchell, who have actually been banned from that event because of their outspoken

134
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,960
rhetoric towards Israel, which is really saying something, but we obviously know the pipeline.

135
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:13,039
So we have Ari Emanuel that is involved in UFC. He is a major agent in Hollywood as well.

136
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:18,400
He is in the milieu with Joe Rogan, with Dana White. And then there, of course, that would

137
00:12:19,119 --> 00:12:25,679
at least partially explain Trump's appearances leading into his presidency and to this day at

138
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:33,679
UFC fights. So it's like a very, it's a tangled web, but also the UFC was supposed to be

139
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:39,359
the sport that, and I'm not saying I subscribe to this, but during COVID times, it was the sport

140
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:45,200
that was still running. They said, we're not shutting down. We're, you know, we have, we allow

141
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,239
our fighters to have free speech. And it was known as that. And I feel like it's actually quite the

142
00:12:50,239 --> 00:12:54,960
rug pull because now you have people that are expressing political opinions in this day and

143
00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:01,119
time that are, that are not favorable to people that have nothing to do supposedly with UFC and

144
00:13:01,119 --> 00:13:06,159
they're getting prevented from being at the fight. It's just representative of a clown world.

145
00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:10,400
I'm not really a fan of Sean Strickland, but he should be allowed to say whatever the hell he

146
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:18,320
wants, you know, so go ahead and do that. And very good on Ari Emanuel, right? And that's

147
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:24,880
Aram Emanuel's brother, we should say, you know, and that he runs TKO, right? What's it called?

148
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:30,239
I forget something else. TKO is the company that was put together for UFC and WWE.

149
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:38,080
And both of those entities are very Trump friendly. The UFC, some would argue,

150
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:47,280
are responsible for making Trump appear to be cool to some people, you know, and leading up,

151
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:52,320
you know, to the election and getting him elected, you know, and yeah, you, I liked what you did

152
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,520
there. You put all those connections together with the manosphere and all that other stuff.

153
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,880
Joe Rogan is directly connected to that as well. I think it's going to be a shit show. I don't want

154
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:08,960
to see it. I, I, I, let me, let me correct myself. I do want to see it because it's going to be a

155
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:15,599
skeptical spectacle, but I don't, I don't think I am going to see it because I can't bring myself

156
00:14:15,599 --> 00:14:22,080
to do it. Yeah. And I, I'm in the same boat. I would be curious, but I feel like I cannot give,

157
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:28,000
I just don't feel good about, and I've been kind of falling away from UFC for a while because some

158
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,239
of this stuff disgusts me, but I, um, I've just feel like, especially in this one, when people

159
00:14:34,239 --> 00:14:38,719
are being punished for speaking out against another country that should have nothing to do

160
00:14:38,719 --> 00:14:43,200
with UFC. I don't even think there are any fighters at all in UFC that I know of that are

161
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:50,799
from Israel. Um, I, I just don't feel like I can give it my attention in this attention economy.

162
00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:56,640
I won't be tuning in because I, um, you know, as Don Jeffrey says, because I protest

163
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,719
Shouts to the legendary Don. No, and I'm, I'm, um, I used to be a huge fan of UFC and I stopped

164
00:15:04,719 --> 00:15:08,159
being a fan, not because of their politics, even though that added into it after the fact, but

165
00:15:08,159 --> 00:15:12,479
there's a real lack of star power there for me. You know, I like one or two guys that I want to

166
00:15:12,479 --> 00:15:16,559
see fight, you know, but I want to get back into it, especially after I got out of grad school.

167
00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:20,719
I'm like, I want to get back into being a regular human. So I want to watch these things.

168
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,599
But there's no incentive. And this is nice. I don't like this. And he's, we already have

169
00:15:25,599 --> 00:15:30,320
president Camacho. He's his name is Donald Trump, uh, tone, uh, closing thoughts on this. And then

170
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,919
I want to get into what Jackson T Barrett said, because we spoke about this backstage.

171
00:15:33,919 --> 00:15:39,280
What's up, Jackson. Go ahead. Um, Yeah, it was like a fist and feet will break your face,

172
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,799
but words will break your career. Apparently. Um, that's where we are. And it's reminds me,

173
00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:48,000
I just looked this up and maybe we'll play it. Maybe if we have enough time,

174
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,239
we'll play it. But the, the monologue of Ned Beatty at the end of the movie network, where he

175
00:15:52,239 --> 00:15:56,640
tells the, the anchor, the news anchor, who's lost his mind, how the world actually works,

176
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:02,960
the world as a corporation, you know, you, you get this big reveal, uh, as you're emerging,

177
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:08,159
you know, part of culture or the financial structure like UFC has become. And then like,

178
00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:12,479
Oh, this is who actually runs things. Right. And you can't criticize that you can have your free

179
00:16:12,479 --> 00:16:19,039
speech so long as we approve of that. Right. And that's, I think that's indicative of where we are.

180
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:24,960
However, I do believe that we are, as Ashley mentioned, um, this is what's known as a

181
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:31,760
bifurcation point. Okay. This is where like the culmination of all the ideas and, and, uh,

182
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:39,440
ideologies that, that have pressed forward the last 50 years are meeting reality. And I would

183
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,400
caution anybody who's, uh, you know, especially like the owners of UFC or Dana White or any of

184
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,679
these people, like if you're silencing fighters because of their stance on Israel, you are on

185
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:56,000
the wrong side of history. That narrative is collapsing. It is imminent. That is going to be

186
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,239
a huge part in the next 10 years, uh, filtering through our politics. It will be something,

187
00:17:02,239 --> 00:17:08,239
it will be, it will be a reckoning. I agree. Like we've never, like a political reckoning,

188
00:17:08,239 --> 00:17:12,000
because this has been bubbling under the surface for decades and people have been silenced. And

189
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,800
finally, like a, you hold a beach ball underwater, it's just going to surface and all this stuff's

190
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,280
going to come out. And we're already starting to see the headlines of drudge with the, uh,

191
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:27,040
Israeli espionage. I mean, gosh, that's been going on for forever. I mean, we've, there's

192
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,920
convicted Israeli spies inside the United States. I mean, many, many times over where, you know,

193
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:38,079
even some sold our, our classified missile technology to the Chinese, you know, via Israel,

194
00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:42,319
all that stuff. I mean, spying on the president, this has been happening for a long time. It's

195
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:46,800
been swept under the rug by people like the likes of Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham and others.

196
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:54,319
Uh, but this is, this is going to be, I think, uh, one of the turning points for like, I don't

197
00:17:54,319 --> 00:17:59,040
want to do not a turning point in the USA, but definitely, uh, definitely we're at a crossroads

198
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:04,000
and I would caution anybody who thinks that things will go on as they have gone. It definitely

199
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,160
will change. And, uh, some, sometimes these events like fighters being silenced is a good thing. I

200
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:15,439
mean, just because, or Thomas Massey losing an election, uh, I think is a, is a good thing at

201
00:18:15,439 --> 00:18:20,800
the end of the day because it sheds light on a real problem. It's already changed. It's like,

202
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,680
it's will change. It's already happening. It's just going to, it's going to go further down the

203
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,520
road, you know? So that's, that's something to look at. It's, it's, it's definitely going to be

204
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:35,839
a thing. A Strickland and correct me if I'm wrong, Ashley, but, uh, I think he said that he didn't

205
00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:40,800
want to perform for pedophiles also. So there might be. Yeah, that's the, I want to, I was

206
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,599
going to try to jump in really quick before we tie the bow on this one, but I encourage people to

207
00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:53,359
check out Sean Strickland's X page and I'm with Billy. He says a lot of wild stuff. Sometimes,

208
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:59,199
sometimes it's very offensive. I think part of that is just because he, he enjoys, you know,

209
00:18:59,199 --> 00:19:05,040
getting the reaction, but this is someone who has a documented history of childhood abuse.

210
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:11,920
Somebody who has a history of overcoming that to hold the belt as he currently does for middle

211
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:20,000
weight. I believe he just won, but so he's, but he's also known or presented as somebody who has

212
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,760
his own opinions. And in spite of the damage that it could potentially do for his career,

213
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,520
including calling out the UFC for, for poor pay, which is true, the disgusting amount of money

214
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:37,040
that the UFC makes and only some fighters get paid out. Meanwhile, you're literally risking

215
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,680
your life at, at the most or at the very least like brain damage. But anyway, I was going to

216
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:50,239
say, check out his stuff because he had recently posted a very long, silly apology for what he

217
00:19:50,239 --> 00:19:56,160
said. And he was like, I apologize for not supporting Israel enough. And yes, he called

218
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:02,319
out the fact that Trump is either a pedo or a pedo protector. And he said this, what, you know,

219
00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:08,160
the files disappeared and he does everything for Israel. So I think it's at least worth checking it

220
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,439
out. Uh, if you're interested in that subject, he also turns around and apologizes every time

221
00:20:13,439 --> 00:20:18,719
after, after a fight. He liked that when he won, uh, the, the belt a month ago, he was crying.

222
00:20:18,719 --> 00:20:22,319
He's like, Oh, I'm sorry. I went too hard on the Muslim. I went too hard in the paint. Yep.

223
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,920
He's something else, you know, but regardless, listen, uh, Jackson T Barrett mentioned this

224
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,439
and that's why I left it up on the screen for as long as I did. Um, how long has Iran had a

225
00:20:33,439 --> 00:20:39,199
working atomic bomb? Never. I want to, I definitely want to address this. We want to

226
00:20:39,199 --> 00:20:44,479
talk about this, but before we get into that, uh, conspiracy theorists report, uh, the Hunza,

227
00:20:44,479 --> 00:20:49,119
the Hunza virus is gone again. I mentioned this last week, but I just want to reiterate. It's

228
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,599
still not a thing anymore for all of you who thought it was the end of the world. Second,

229
00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:59,760
uh, what happened to the scientists? Where'd that go? Okay. That's gone too. Um, I'm sure

230
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,239
it will resurface because it resurfaces every five or 10 years, but for now it's gone. Uh,

231
00:21:04,239 --> 00:21:10,400
and, uh, atomic bombs, they were, they were not real not too long ago. And now everybody's

232
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,199
discussing them as if they are just saying, anyway, um, I think the scientists all died

233
00:21:15,199 --> 00:21:21,760
from haunted virus. That's a sad, they were all atomic bomb, uh, or, or murder Hornets murder.

234
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,560
Yes. One of the things and monkey Fox framed murder Hornets. I don't know.

235
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,119
What are you thinking brother? So rumors have been circulating. I actually, I'm going to give

236
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,760
it to Ashley first because Ashley has some knowledge as to how this got started. Maybe

237
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,920
Jackson, I want you to put in the chat where you heard this or why you're bringing this up if you

238
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,959
can. But, uh, but, uh, Ashley was putting us on backstage for, for, for about five minutes. So

239
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,520
lay it out, Ashley. And then I'm going to go to Tom. Okay. Yes. I'm looking forward to hearing

240
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,079
what y'all think about this, but I'll tell you just my, uh, how I came to this information.

241
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:01,520
I've been watching judge Napolitano, um, who has, I like the way he does his show. He has like five

242
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,599
or six guests a day, depending, and they all have different takes. Not that I agree with everybody

243
00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:11,199
or think that everybody's maybe on the up and up, but I liked the different takes. So he had two

244
00:22:11,199 --> 00:22:18,319
people. Uh, I think it was Larry Johnson and Pepe Escobar who were connected into intelligence and

245
00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:26,719
they broke the news to judge Napolitano this week that they had a source inside the Pakistani

246
00:22:26,719 --> 00:22:32,160
government who was serving as the kind of mediator, not necessarily that, that they were

247
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,880
working on either side, like a counselor, but they were just relaying the messaging.

248
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,479
That's how they were being used. And then, um, that, that a source that they verified at the

249
00:22:42,479 --> 00:22:49,119
very least that this source was that the source believed it. And it was credible. They were not

250
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,920
saying this is what happened, but they're saying, this is what we got from our source is that Iran

251
00:22:53,920 --> 00:23:00,880
now has a working nuclear weapon. And then in the followup, what they were saying was that it,

252
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:11,439
what they believed is that Iran potentially was given this nuclear weapon, um, and potentially

253
00:23:11,439 --> 00:23:18,400
from Pakistan. So not that they had suddenly had the ability to create their own nuclear weapon.

254
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,319
Okay. So there's some debate on that. Then they were like, well, what about Tulsi Gabbard? Was

255
00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:27,119
she lying 18 months ago when she said that their nuclear weapons program had been disabled

256
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,599
and their feedback was, no, she was not lying. That was their understanding. So they either had

257
00:23:31,599 --> 00:23:38,400
the ability to have something capable of creating it, or someone gave it to them. If it even exists.

258
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,839
And of course I have a question. Why is this being presented into the conversation at this

259
00:23:43,839 --> 00:23:49,119
moment, as we are in this very weird place with whatever is happening with conflict with Iran,

260
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:54,239
but it sure would be convenient for the powers that shouldn't be in the military industrial

261
00:23:54,239 --> 00:23:59,680
complex and Trump and his administration and Israel, if they could say, oh yeah,

262
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,680
Iran does have a nuke now game on officially because the war has been super unpopular.

263
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,959
Obviously people are sick of war. They're sick of their gas going up every single week. They're

264
00:24:10,959 --> 00:24:19,920
sick of all of this shit. So, all right, go ahead, Tom options. That's why it would float that way.

265
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,479
But if you unpack it, it seems very unlikely that that would have, they would be given a nuclear

266
00:24:24,479 --> 00:24:29,280
weapon. Do you, if you understand mutually assured destruction, if you understand, uh,

267
00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:37,199
the consequences, like if Pakistan actually did that, they would be targeted in an event that it,

268
00:24:37,199 --> 00:24:42,319
that weapon was used. They'd be targeted by other powers that would seal their fate. That,

269
00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:48,800
that is to do that on a whim without any cleared present danger to themselves.

270
00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:54,800
Makes no sense. The only thing that really makes sense is that we have to build confusing narratives.

271
00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,239
We can implant that idea into the minds of people that not only were they racing to get a bomb, but

272
00:25:00,239 --> 00:25:07,680
they were able to get one indirectly. So something like something like that seems completely contrived

273
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,000
to me. It's an old technology, by the way. I mean, it's an 80 year old technology. I remember

274
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,119
reading articles from Pat Buchanan back in the mid, you know, early two thousands talking about

275
00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:22,400
Iran eventually. I mean, on a long enough timeline, we'll get a bomb,

276
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,040
but they signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, unlike Israel, who has over 300 atomic

277
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:32,319
bombs that they got from us. They got the enriched uranium and the materials through our deep state.

278
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:40,640
So this kind of information floating around to me is just adding to the optionality for

279
00:25:41,199 --> 00:25:45,839
the war machine to continue its operations, whether it's just perpetual war for the,

280
00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:49,439
for the sake of it or giving them options to do other things. This is,

281
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,560
you know, again, we kick the horn in its nest and anybody with any sense that knew anything about

282
00:25:54,560 --> 00:26:00,160
this region or the consequences of hitting Iran the way that we did, knew what was going to happen

283
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,680
with the Strait of Hormuz, knew what was going to happen with energy and the cascading consequences

284
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:11,280
of that. So I just look at this as an operation to colonize people's minds. And you're right,

285
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,479
Billy, people, people like, you know, people that maybe didn't even believe in nuclear weapons,

286
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:22,719
which is a thing. And that always makes me chuckle because, you know, my grandfather,

287
00:26:22,719 --> 00:26:27,040
who served in the Cold War, he was a first lieutenant in the Marine Corps. His name was

288
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:32,560
Nick Davis. He eventually became vice president of Texas Instruments, weapons division, had a

289
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,520
secret top secret clearance, all that stuff. He was part of the hydrogen bomb experiments. He died

290
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,959
from it. And he died from the cancers. He got multiple cancers. He was the last surviving

291
00:26:42,959 --> 00:26:48,959
member of his unit that was overseeing the detonations of those bombs. And if you remember,

292
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:55,199
the hydrogen bomb was a fusion bomb in the early 1950s. This was a technology that even Oppenheimer

293
00:26:55,199 --> 00:26:59,439
didn't want to create. They revoked his security clearance, by the way. If you watch Oppenheimer,

294
00:26:59,439 --> 00:27:04,640
he lost his security clearance and was deemed a communist because he didn't want to build

295
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,079
an even bigger bomb. He's like, oh, we already created enough to destroy the planet. Why do

296
00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:13,839
you want to make it bigger and more destructive? But my grandfather was part of that, had no

297
00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:18,400
protective gear, lost his leg at the hip when I was about four years old. He had to have it

298
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:24,560
amputated. And he had died of multiple cancers. But he's one of the smartest people, not the

299
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,880
smartest man as far as mathematically I've ever met in my life. I've never met anybody close to

300
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,359
that. He would share stuff with me when I was a kid about the weapons they were making. He told

301
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:41,199
me about future technologies that would come out 10 or 15 years later that all did. Nuclear weapons

302
00:27:41,199 --> 00:27:47,599
exist, folks. Sorry. I know that's a narrative in the alternative community, but I really,

303
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:52,560
I know it. He didn't lie to me. He wrote me letters when I was in Afghanistan detailing

304
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:59,839
his experience with the hydrogen bomb. It's called the Diablo. Good Lord. I mean, some people

305
00:28:00,479 --> 00:28:05,920
will deny it until it blows up in their face, quite literally. And at that point, it's too late.

306
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:15,680
But yeah, man, I would say this. Judge Napolitano, I used to listen to him a lot when I was

307
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:23,439
listening to Alex Jones. He used to come on on Alex all the time or whatever. And he's a smart guy.

308
00:28:24,239 --> 00:28:30,079
You know, some of the guests he has, and I stopped listening a long time ago, but some of the guests

309
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:39,760
he has on his show are of the style of a Steve Pucinich, that they come in and talk some stuff.

310
00:28:41,439 --> 00:28:46,400
I like Judge Napolitano. I'll read his articles a lot on my show. I think he, from everything I've

311
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,880
studied and everything he's wrote, I believe he's coming from a place of honesty and search for the

312
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:56,640
truth. And I think he has a good heart. He's definitely a follower of Jesus. He's a Christian

313
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,119
in the sense of peace and other things that I appreciate. But you and I both know if you're

314
00:29:01,119 --> 00:29:06,239
running a large enough show, even people with good intentions can get bad information and tell

315
00:29:06,239 --> 00:29:10,000
you something, right? Somebody that believes in their heart, like if they're a real patriot.

316
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,119
I think another issue that popped up in the last couple of weeks that floated around alternative

317
00:29:15,119 --> 00:29:21,839
media, but I think deserves even further scrutiny after what I've seen, is the admiral who jumped on

318
00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:27,040
Fox News with a mask on. And I don't give a shit what anybody says. That guy was wearing a mask,

319
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:32,000
and that wasn't the same person. His story doesn't even make any sense. He was on with

320
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Grant Stinchfield, and Grant used to come into the studio. He had a show after mine when I was on in

321
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,640
Dallas, when I first started radio. So I know Grant. I mean, he's a good commentator. He's

322
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:49,199
trying to suss out from the admiral, like, hey, tell us it's not a mask.

323
00:29:49,199 --> 00:29:54,560
And the guy, he's like, we need to talk about Iran. And it looks like a different person.

324
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,640
So there's a lot of, like the disinformation campaign, I don't know if they,

325
00:29:59,199 --> 00:30:03,439
I don't even know why the mask would be involved. But there's something to all

326
00:30:03,439 --> 00:30:07,280
of this that you just got to watch. When somebody's pushing for war or talking about

327
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,000
Iran's capabilities, I automatically just tune them out and start wondering who the hell they are.

328
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:18,160
Because you clearly can't see that this is a lopsided thing that doesn't serve the interest

329
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:27,280
of the United States. And you know what? At this point, with American policy towards Iran,

330
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,400
it's probably going to just expedite them getting a bomb at this point. Like, it's just

331
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:38,959
the way they've been smacked around by it. Well, what message have we sent the world

332
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:45,760
with our invasion of Iraq or with our overthrow of Gaddafi, who even tried to give up stuff and

333
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,880
like share intelligence with us? I'm not saying he was a great guy, but clearly he had a lot of

334
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,359
things going on that pissed off the power structure. But, you know, Saddam, you know,

335
00:30:55,359 --> 00:31:00,079
getting a bomb, he didn't get one. So the message is you better get one or we'll invade. There's a

336
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:05,599
reason why we have invaded North Korea. There's a reason we don't screw with Kim Jong-un. Because

337
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:12,719
they got the bomb when I was in Afghanistan. They did an underground detonation. You generally know

338
00:31:12,719 --> 00:31:20,319
when somebody's got the bomb. The only country that's ever used nuclear weapons offensively is

339
00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:25,839
the United States of America. It's only us. Everybody else has them for like a sort of

340
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:32,239
Damocles. Like if you use it on us or you invade us, we're going to use the last resort. You know,

341
00:31:32,239 --> 00:31:36,319
kind of like the Israelis supposedly have the Samson option or whatever the hell that is.

342
00:31:36,319 --> 00:31:42,239
Right. It's a it's a last resort. And the whole argument from Levin and these other sycophants

343
00:31:42,239 --> 00:31:50,400
and weirdos, which clearly I mean, just to lend them credence of having actual intelligence is

344
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:56,160
a farce because Iran doesn't need a bomb to be a suicide nation. I mean, if you look at the

345
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,160
mathematics, how large the country that they wanted to overthrow Israel, like use conventional

346
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,800
forces and like receive, you know, the nuclear fallout from that, they could go ahead and do it

347
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,359
and both would be done. It's it's it's ridiculous to say that if they get a bomb, then they're the

348
00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:16,000
new what the new Hitler, the new the caliphate or whatever. That that argument is bunk. It's

349
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:22,319
neocon garbage. It's satanic is really what it is. It's just a way to continue to keep tensions

350
00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:27,760
high. We should never let this get to the point where it is now. We have plenty of opportunities

351
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:33,760
and inroads to keep Iran away from having a nuclear weapon. But yeah, it's an old technology

352
00:32:34,719 --> 00:32:39,760
with A.I. now. Like I mean, you can I mean, obviously they they've got the infrastructure,

353
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,920
they could do it. But what is it for? Does it mean once they get it, they're going to launch it? I

354
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:49,599
mean, just think about this for five minutes and turn off Fox News. Yeah, there's a reason if

355
00:32:50,479 --> 00:32:57,680
Ukraine had kept all those bombs that they had at the fall of the USSR, we might not be in this

356
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:03,040
situation right now. I can almost guarantee it, you know, because of the fear of it. And that's

357
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:08,400
really what these things represent. Like Tony said, the United States is the only one that

358
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:16,560
ever used it offensively twice. But it's laughable to think that Pakistan would actually be the

359
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:23,199
suicide nation, because that would be suicide to pass through channels around a nuclear weapon.

360
00:33:23,199 --> 00:33:28,640
It's suicide. Yeah, no, I don't know if there's any or there's certainly no proof besides what

361
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,680
these gentlemen said. And they said they had got inside information. But I would draw the

362
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,359
comparison to Steve Pucinich. And like that was on David Knight. Right. I mean, well, Alex had

363
00:33:37,359 --> 00:33:42,800
him on several times, but it doesn't it doesn't condemn the intentions of the host. It's just

364
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:48,880
that some of the people that come on will say things, you know. And I just wanted to add in they

365
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:54,959
they made it clear for whatever this is worth that we are not saying that this is what

366
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:03,439
that this actually happened. We are simply saying that this is what was related to us. Yes. So we

367
00:34:03,439 --> 00:34:09,199
they did say that Robert Barnes, who I think is another like I'm not a big fan of his, but

368
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:15,520
had connections into the White House. But I felt like as far because I'm looking for hyperbole

369
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:23,199
and for people that are trying to, you know, sway one opinion or the other. And I'm very cautious

370
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:28,959
as far as that. But I felt like just from, you know, a non-biased perspective of listening to

371
00:34:28,959 --> 00:34:34,320
them, I thought they were trying to present it as, look, we don't know. We're just relaying that this

372
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:41,120
is what has been communicated to us. So, you know, whatever that's worth. But I agree of taking

373
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:46,399
that with the idea of taking that with a grain of salt. And of course, like all the things that

374
00:34:46,399 --> 00:34:51,120
Tony was saying, like there's a lot of mitigating factors here that don't necessarily add up or

375
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:59,120
track with that. But I did think it was interesting that this piece of the narrative is now trickling

376
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:06,159
out for whatever reason. Yeah, no, it's out there. Jackson brought it up. I asked Jackson to tell me

377
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:10,639
where where he got the information, but he hasn't yet. If you want to do that, Jackson, I'd be very

378
00:35:10,639 --> 00:35:17,760
interested in knowing. But it's definitely circulating. It'll be probably a story that

379
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:22,159
dies out soon, you know, because that's just what these things are. But I mean, there's bigger

380
00:35:22,159 --> 00:35:26,800
problems over there. Right. The straight is still shut down. And I think that's that's the bigger

381
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:33,439
reason. Trump has kind of pivoted on so many things. He's trying to figure out a way to put

382
00:35:33,439 --> 00:35:39,040
out this fire. It's not being put. It's just not happening right now. Well, none of the stuff he

383
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,679
said that that was going to happen is happening. But I don't see any resolution over there anytime

384
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:48,159
soon, man. I don't know how long this is going to go on. They're talking about the Labor Day, bro.

385
00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:54,639
And that's optimistic. I don't know. What do you think? I think it's bad. I think that you're

386
00:35:54,639 --> 00:36:00,000
burning gasoline that's been refined about a year or so ago right now. And you talk about

387
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,399
paying at the pump. The more uncertainty, the more the market bleeds, the more that the supply

388
00:36:04,399 --> 00:36:11,040
chain is strained, the more that. The more that investment capital is withheld, it's it is a

389
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:17,600
fragile system, and it is really points to the creative destruction argument or the controlled

390
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,600
demolition argument. And I don't want it to be true, by the way. But, you know, this is the

391
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:28,159
great reset decade. The plans are in place of what the the lizard folk would like to see. I mean,

392
00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:34,239
the Klaus Schwab in Davos World Economic Forum crowd would like to see the 15 minute cities.

393
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:39,679
You'll own nothing. You'll be happy. You have to create crises to to get there. You have to

394
00:36:40,399 --> 00:36:45,439
if you want to destroy a country, said Vladimir Lenin, you first debauch their currency.

395
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:51,679
Well, we're debauching the currency through the energy crisis. It's indirectly. And so all of

396
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:59,840
these factors, you know, again, the whole thing about war post World War Two is proxy wars. You

397
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:04,560
know, they had to keep that alive. You know, you have Korea, you have Vietnam, you have Somalia,

398
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,879
you've got the Balkans, you know, you've got all that stuff. And then post 9-11 wars are

399
00:37:08,879 --> 00:37:14,959
fought proxy. They're not fought by nations that actually hold nuclear weapons. And in an age of

400
00:37:14,959 --> 00:37:20,719
nuclear weapons, it's actually made war unthinkable or should be to a rational person. But

401
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:26,560
we have psychopaths like they're they're not rational at all. And they have another agenda

402
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,959
in mind. And it's not about national security. Like we need to completely abandon that. It's

403
00:37:30,959 --> 00:37:35,280
not about safety. We didn't have to do any of this stuff. As a matter of fact, like we did

404
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:41,439
everything the opposite of what we should have done to grow the American economy and prosperity

405
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,719
and turn the engine back on. We've done everything to throw a wrench in that.

406
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,600
It's absolutely treasonous. And we're watching in a real I hope I'm wrong, by the way, but I don't

407
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:55,360
see a good resolution to this. If anything comes, it'll it'll be because the other people are

408
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,639
rational players more than we are. It won't be because of our leadership America, that the

409
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:08,399
apogee of American empire, it has waned, it's in decline, and it's it's going to be a flailing

410
00:38:08,399 --> 00:38:13,679
empire on the way down. I mean, that's the most dangerous part. What an absolute disaster.

411
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:19,840
Ashley, closing thoughts on this. Yeah, so I just wanted to add in that in in on top of everything

412
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:26,000
that Tony was saying is that we also have the United States that is is meddling in the affairs

413
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:33,040
of Latin America. We know that they are currently playing a part in the embargo, worsening embargoes

414
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,479
in Cuba, that the Cuban people are suffering, that they don't have electricity, that they're

415
00:38:38,479 --> 00:38:43,199
worried about food spoilage, they may not even have enough food right now. They don't have gas

416
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:48,879
like things are are not well, we're headed into the very hot season, so that they potentially

417
00:38:48,879 --> 00:38:54,080
would not have electricity for running air conditioning and stuff like that. And I agree,

418
00:38:54,080 --> 00:39:00,800
like what what Tony is saying is that this is that this is the end of empire stuff. And it

419
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:07,439
is very dangerous, I think. The other thing that I wanted to point out is that I don't actually

420
00:39:07,439 --> 00:39:13,840
believe that there's real animosity between Trump and Netanyahu. But supposedly, they had a little

421
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:20,879
bit of a hard conversation this week, because Trump was asking Netanyahu to essentially stop

422
00:39:20,879 --> 00:39:28,399
bombing Lebanon, for the southern Lebanon all the way up to Beirut. And that that there is a

423
00:39:28,399 --> 00:39:35,520
potential fallout, but it is based on the perception of Israel, and Netanyahu here. Now,

424
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:42,000
normally, I wouldn't think that there's anything to that. However, I do believe that people are

425
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,679
really growing with their disdain. Like most people are not a fan of Israel, they are not a fan

426
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:53,199
of PB Netanyahu right now. So I think that that potentially could be a play, it's possible that

427
00:39:53,199 --> 00:40:01,040
this is, you know, that this is theater. But I just found that a curious event, like maybe there

428
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:07,439
is some concern for public perception as we head into the midterms, maybe not.

429
00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:13,040
That's an interesting point. I never looked at it that way, as it having to do something,

430
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:18,080
getting closer to the midterms. I really dismissed it, to be honest with you. I looked at the

431
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:25,280
that story, and I was like, who cares? I don't care. Although, I mean, it does spark interest

432
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,879
after you mentioned it in the way in the way that you did. I think it happened. I don't think it

433
00:40:30,879 --> 00:40:37,120
means anything. You know, I really don't. I don't think it messes with their dynamic at all.

434
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:42,320
Bargain with the devil. Go ahead. I mean, what these are like Twilight Zone consequences. I mean,

435
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,040
you make a bargain with the devil. You're like, Oh, well, what's the harm? You know,

436
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:50,159
I'll be an Israeli first or, you know, I can get all this Adelson casino money and, you know,

437
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:57,040
big, big donor, you know, and media placement. I can do all this stuff. But then you then the

438
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:02,479
bill comes due. And it's like, oh, no, that that meant your life. That meant you get the golden

439
00:41:02,479 --> 00:41:06,879
pager. Right. You know, that meant your career, that meant your reputation, that meant your

440
00:41:06,879 --> 00:41:13,040
structure of power. And then for a narcissist, the supply is the nation. The supply is the

441
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,800
and the nation's turning and the people are like, I'm done with this. And, you know,

442
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,840
what about my golden statue? You know, all that stuff. It's it's it's imploding. So,

443
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:27,280
yeah, there's going to be some there's going to be some fallout when you take away a narcissist

444
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:32,879
supply. I'm trying to. Oh, there it is. Now it works. OK. Yeah. I think you're absolutely right.

445
00:41:32,879 --> 00:41:37,120
And they're taking away his supply. He's going to get more dangerous as time goes on.

446
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,520
I want to hit this before we get out of here. Apparently, there's been drills in Southern

447
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:52,479
California, military drills in in real life, abandoned or empty facilities like it was a mall.

448
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:59,439
Some of the areas where they were holding the Olympic Games, a hospital, you know, in in

449
00:41:59,439 --> 00:42:05,600
several parts of Southern California, Pasadena, a couple other places, according to this article

450
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:14,800
by AOL. And there is a footage of it that they are. Actively doing this, they're not giving

451
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,600
explanations as to why, and they're saying that this is stuff that happens all the time,

452
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:25,679
the only explanation that it didn't give city leaders any explanations about anything,

453
00:42:25,679 --> 00:42:29,280
you know, they just said we're doing this. And that was it. When they asked why they didn't get

454
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:37,120
an explanation. It's concerning to me that the federal government is able to do this without

455
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:44,879
giving any explanations for one. But on top of that, I mean, yeah, this could it be something

456
00:42:45,439 --> 00:42:51,120
standard that that is going on? Yeah, it could be. But given the situations and given

457
00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:57,520
what we're currently going through, it does spark some type of alarm to see something like this

458
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:04,639
in residential areas, you know, and it's it's it's been bothering some of the people. There

459
00:43:04,639 --> 00:43:09,840
is footage. We will play the footage. I just wanted to show you the headline here. But they're

460
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,439
they're saying it's it's par for the course that this thing that these things are normal,

461
00:43:13,439 --> 00:43:18,959
that they happen. I don't remember things like this. I mean, maybe it wasn't reported and now

462
00:43:18,959 --> 00:43:25,360
it is. I don't know. But I don't remember choppers out of nowhere, you know, and troops acting like

463
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:32,800
they're, you know, taking over a building next door, you know, like it's so why why is this

464
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:39,120
going on? It's incredibly concerning to me, given that the midterms are coming up. I don't know,

465
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:45,120
man. Tony Arterburn, what's up? Well, I mean, it could be an organic

466
00:43:46,159 --> 00:43:49,840
event that has nothing to do with tyranny. I mean, you look at something like Operation

467
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:56,479
Robin Sage out of North Carolina. I've I've seen that operation because the special operations when

468
00:43:56,479 --> 00:44:01,679
I was stationed there at Fort Bragg for for almost five years and that would go on and they would

469
00:44:01,679 --> 00:44:06,399
they would conduct in civilian areas there. Basically, it's a war game. Or you can look

470
00:44:06,399 --> 00:44:12,639
at Jade Helm that happened in Texas about about 12 years ago or more. Jim Mars wrote about this

471
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:17,439
extensively in a book called Trillion Dollar Conspiracy around 2010 about the increased

472
00:44:17,439 --> 00:44:24,560
military operations and drills of the the mount complex or the simulations that they run in urban

473
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:29,520
warfare or something that happens. And I don't again using civilian areas or being so close to

474
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:35,600
civilian populace is not necessarily the the norm. Delta Force runs something out of Fort Bragg along

475
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:42,000
with spec ops called the Mount City. And I we trained there when before we went to part of my

476
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,800
airborne unit, we we trained there before we went to Iraq. So like a lot of this stuff is training,

477
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,879
but, you know, it's funny, they have all this power, all this might, where were they during the

478
00:44:50,879 --> 00:44:56,080
summer of love, you know, and burning down Kentucky Fried Chickens and smashing in police stations and

479
00:44:56,639 --> 00:45:03,520
pallets of bricks being delivered and, you know, by clearly being set up to to antagonize and get

480
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:08,479
kinetic operations going in the United States are flying people all over the country to

481
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,639
to stage protests and unrest, the United States would certainly didn't have the military

482
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:17,199
involvement. So, you know, I don't welcome these kind of things, I think, but it is it is something

483
00:45:17,199 --> 00:45:22,479
to watch. You got to watch when when they're running internal operations. The reason that I

484
00:45:22,479 --> 00:45:28,399
don't like this, and I actually disdain the term, but refer to us as the homeland. Well, that infers

485
00:45:28,399 --> 00:45:33,919
that there's other land like what it's our country. It's hearth and home. I just sound

486
00:45:33,919 --> 00:45:40,800
so Orwellian or Third Reich ish. I don't like homeland. Ashley, what are your thoughts before

487
00:45:40,879 --> 00:45:45,600
I play the footage? Yeah, I was just going to say that this is not something not an area that I'm

488
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:52,800
necessarily super familiar with. But I did also remember that in North Carolina, because it's not

489
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:57,520
too far from Fort Bragg, that they would tell people that they're running certain exercises or

490
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:02,560
like what Tony was talking about, that the Robin Sage exercise involves students at the

491
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:09,199
U.S. Army JFK Special Warfare Center in school, and they're putting the Green Berets in a fictional

492
00:46:09,199 --> 00:46:16,959
guerrilla warfare in a war game nation called Pineland. So that they will, I believe, and Tony

493
00:46:16,959 --> 00:46:20,639
could correct me if I'm wrong, that they will communicate with the general public that this

494
00:46:20,639 --> 00:46:27,280
is what is happening. And so that's kind of my the limit of my familiarity with this type of thing.

495
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:33,360
But I have heard other people now, perhaps it's just conspiracy, but they had other people that

496
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:38,719
had looked into other major events that happened. They had suspected that it could be something like

497
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:44,560
this gone wrong. And I'm not saying that that is what happened, but I just thought that it was an

498
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:50,639
interesting perspective on a potential if something like this does happen to go wrong. How is that

499
00:46:50,639 --> 00:46:57,679
then presented to the public? I don't know. I'm going to show the footage right now. Jackson T.

500
00:46:57,679 --> 00:47:03,120
Barrett in the chat said that California is going to be declared a failed state, and that's why

501
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:08,080
they're going to do things like this. Now, you might be right if they do declare California a

502
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:16,159
failed state. That's totally wrong, right? It's like not even close to being correct.

503
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:23,679
California is currently the fourth largest economy in the world, regardless of what you might think

504
00:47:23,679 --> 00:47:30,239
of California's politics. It is the fourth. It leads other countries. Only Germany and China

505
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:36,639
and the United States are ahead of it. Keep that in mind when they come out and say California is

506
00:47:36,639 --> 00:47:43,600
a failed state, okay? If they ever come out and say that. But that's something to look forward to,

507
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:49,199
right? If they could absolutely say that. It just won't be the case, but they can absolutely say

508
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:54,399
that and try to invade or do whatever it is they're going to do. I want to play this footage.

509
00:47:54,399 --> 00:47:56,399
Tony, you sounded like you had something to say. Go ahead.

510
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:02,639
No, I just, I mean, maybe the experiment of democracy hasn't worked and California should

511
00:48:02,639 --> 00:48:06,639
probably be turned into some sort of monarchy. We can make the late singer of the Red Hot Chili

512
00:48:06,639 --> 00:48:12,239
Peppers king. That's dope. Anthony, we'll make him king of the Californians.

513
00:48:12,879 --> 00:48:16,719
The dream of Californication. Let me play this for you guys.

514
00:48:17,439 --> 00:48:19,439
Sounds good.

515
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,040
Oh my God. That's an infrared.

516
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,040
Definitely a little operation going on.

517
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:52,800
I'm assuming there's no, to any of this Billy, there's no injuries, right? There's nothing

518
00:48:52,800 --> 00:49:00,800
happened. I don't think so. I hope not. I don't know. I'm just, think about going to sleep and

519
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,840
having to go to work the next day. And all of a sudden there's a fricking chopper.

520
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:10,800
What the hell's going on here? And guns exploding. And I mean, it looked like Iran or fricking-

521
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:12,719
I'd probably sleep through it.

522
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:13,360
What's up, buddy?

523
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:14,959
I'd probably sleep through it, but I'm weird.

524
00:49:15,679 --> 00:49:19,360
You're a special person, Tony. I would not. I would wake up and say, what the hell is going

525
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:24,800
on here? And then go back to sleep. That's what I would try to do. I got to go to work the next day,

526
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,959
but it doesn't look good. None of this looks good. I'm just saying it could be run of the mill,

527
00:49:28,959 --> 00:49:32,959
just something to keep your eye on. It's being reported in the mainstream. All right,

528
00:49:32,959 --> 00:49:36,159
Tony Arterburn, the wisest of all the wolves, tell the people where they can find you.

529
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,679
Easiest way to find me is my website. You can go to tony.gold, links to my show,

530
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,879
Paratrooper, Arterburn Radio Transmission, got some things I'm going to be dropping soon.

531
00:49:46,879 --> 00:49:52,639
I keep saying it, but it's coming. I got some new show stuff coming out. And it's interesting,

532
00:49:52,639 --> 00:49:58,239
just covering the last many months and being on with David Knight and the whipsaw of the markets

533
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:05,120
and how crazy all this stuff is. Definitely want to give people a heads up that there's something

534
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:11,520
inherently wrong with the currency. Doesn't mean you go buy gold and silver from me, but I'm seeing

535
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:17,520
rumblings of things that have never happened before. There's an accelerating force running

536
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,840
through the world monetary system right now. And you can look, if you actually kind of look

537
00:50:22,399 --> 00:50:26,879
outside of the major headlines and see what's being built, there's a new infrastructure for

538
00:50:26,879 --> 00:50:34,000
currency being built. It's going to be insane. Gold will be and is the world's reserve currency

539
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:39,120
right now. The dollar has been supplanted. And one of the stories that just ran was that

540
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:47,120
treasuries have been surpassed by gold as the most held reserve asset by central banks. And

541
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:52,000
even with all the selling off of gold in the last few months because of the war,

542
00:50:53,199 --> 00:50:58,639
central banks bought a net 17 tons of gold in April, net, even after the sell-offs and things

543
00:50:58,639 --> 00:51:05,199
to buy oil. I saw that. And I looked it up to try to gain further understanding about what that

544
00:51:05,199 --> 00:51:14,719
meant, because clearly it doesn't look good. And what I found was that it's not, I don't even know

545
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:20,639
what the perspective of the people that wrote this was, but they were just saying that it's

546
00:51:20,639 --> 00:51:27,600
more like just other countries being secure, adding security rather than turning away from

547
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:33,360
the dollar. I see it differently, man. I see it as this is not good at all. I don't know if this is

548
00:51:34,159 --> 00:51:37,760
the infrastructure that's being built too, is what I've been covering for a while that's

549
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,800
accelerating. And it's these physical storage houses that are being built to trade in physical.

550
00:51:43,439 --> 00:51:49,600
It's the paper system and trust is diminishing. So on the back of that, like in the interim,

551
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:55,360
before a new system is created, they're building physical storage facilities around the world to

552
00:51:55,360 --> 00:52:01,840
trade in and out either for cross-border payments or whatever have you, like the Hong Kong gold

553
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:07,600
storage facilities being built offside the airport. That is huge. Countries will be trading

554
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:14,159
in physical, in and out of physical contracts for gold. That will be the new currency. That'll be

555
00:52:14,159 --> 00:52:19,199
the new system in five years. Let's see. Let's see what develops. All right. Ashley, thank you

556
00:52:19,199 --> 00:52:25,520
for joining us here today. We appreciate you. Tell the people what you've got going on. Yes. Thank

557
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,600
you so much for having me again. I always love chatting with y'all and listening to the show.

558
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:35,040
They can find me over on Nights of the Storm, 2 p.m. today on our Rumble channel and also on my

559
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:39,840
own show that I have just recently started in the last couple of months, which is Think, Change,

560
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:47,600
Repeat, also over on Rumble. So feel free to follow along and get in touch. All right. All right.

561
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,600
All right. Fantastic. Let me read this real quick and I'm going to shout out the chat and then we're

562
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:57,919
getting out of here. This is an Apple review. We got a new one. Thank you for leaving this. This

563
00:52:57,919 --> 00:53:04,639
is from a Jordan original. It says the three musketeers. It is so good when all three of you

564
00:53:05,199 --> 00:53:11,280
are together. Don, the historian, Tony, the comedian. I mean, I told you you should have done

565
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:17,120
that's the end of comedy in your past life or maybe that's what you did or whatever. But you

566
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:21,840
missed your calling this life. You should have done that. And Billy is the glue that holds the

567
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:27,679
show together. Well, thank you very much for leaving for leaving a five star Elmer. We appreciate

568
00:53:27,679 --> 00:53:36,719
you. I'm a gorilla. Gorilla. That's so great. We need more reviews. So so please do it. You know,

569
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:41,919
but we appreciate the ones that we get. Thank you so much. Who's in the chat? Jackson is always

570
00:53:41,919 --> 00:53:47,360
active in the chat. What's up, buddy? How are you? Tim Foil Hatter. What's going on? Rainbow is in

571
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,360
the chat. Linda, what's going on? How are you? Cat Goya. Interesting show. We appreciate you,

572
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:56,479
Cat. How are you? Troll is in the chat. What's going on, Troll? I can't read your comment for

573
00:53:56,479 --> 00:54:01,840
some reason, but I see you there. Who else? There was a bunch of Kenny Powers, my guy.

574
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:10,639
And eight and MQ eight H.M. is here. How are you, Ron Helton? What's going on? How's everything

575
00:54:10,639 --> 00:54:15,919
unfiltered is in the chat. What's going on with you, Dustin Helm? What's up, my guy? How are you?

576
00:54:17,199 --> 00:54:21,199
Let me see what else. Who else we got here? There were other people, but they were further up in the

577
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:28,080
chat. If you know who you are, what's up? We're getting out of here. My name is Billy Ray Valentine.

578
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:33,280
We should be going live this Sunday. I actually have some guests lined up that I don't want to

579
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:41,760
cancel, so it might force me to go on, you know. So 7 p.m. Sunday.

580
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:50,080
Don't know for how long I'll go. I also reached out to other people, so maybe we'll have some

581
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:56,639
shows. I don't know. Let's see how inspired I am to do this. So keep keep your eyes out for the

582
00:54:56,639 --> 00:55:01,280
notification. And if you don't get a notification, just go see it after the fact on Gorilla Underground

583
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:08,879
on YouTube. And eventually I'll transform the Infinite Fringe into that if I continue doing

584
00:55:08,879 --> 00:55:15,520
shows. All right, everybody, we appreciate you. Have fun. Let's go next. Nixon for.

585
00:55:16,479 --> 00:55:22,479
And like I said, I'm going to freaking run amok and you guys may not see me for an extended period

586
00:55:22,479 --> 00:55:28,159
of time. Tony will know and I'll let Ashley know where I'm at, but it might be a dangerous thing.

587
00:55:28,159 --> 00:55:32,719
I'll just let you guys know and you guys can relate to everybody else. All right, let's get

588
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:48,959
out of here. Burn the place down. Bye bye. So I've done.

589
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:03,040
And.
