Imagine a world where the acceleration of global events aligns with Lenin's notion of time compression. On the Arterburn Radio Transmission, we unpack the rapidly evolving landscape of politics and economics, questioning the mainstream narrative of stability amidst chaos. Reflect on recent U.S. elections and new cabinet picks: what do they signal for the nation's future? Our exploration draws from my own media journey, inspired by the likes of Pat Buchanan, and emphasizes the importance of skepticism towards political rhetoric. We'll challenge your views on de-dollarization, gold's role in the economy, and the implications of these shifts on international relations.
From the camaraderie of early mornings at InfoWars to the stage set for a thrilling pop culture showdown between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, this episode is as varied as it is engaging. I'm grateful for my time with colleagues like Owen Schroer and Harrison Smith, where we fought for free speech and due process. The spotlight on Tyson underscores a warrior mentality, defying age and media narratives with sheer resilience and dedication—a testament to setting and achieving personal goals despite life's hurdles.
Turning our gaze to the broader economic stage, we'll explore how central banks are stockpiling gold amidst de-dollarization efforts, raising questions about financial stability. Historical comparisons shed light on the persistent geopolitical tensions we face, urging listeners to remain wary of political promises. We'll navigate the intriguing complexities of Donald Trump's pro-Israel cabinet picks, examining hawkish foreign policy directions and the multifaceted geopolitics of the post-9/11 world. This episode is a clarion call for a more cautious approach to international relations, advocating for less interventionist strategies while questioning the true costs of America's foreign engagements.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
We have before us the opportunity to forge, for
ourselves and for futuregenerations, a new world order.
Good evening folks.
You're listening to the hour ofthe time.
I'm William Cooper.
The chair is against the wall.
The chair is against the wall.
John has a long mustache.
(00:25):
John has a long mustache.
It's 12 o'clock, americans,another day closer to victory.
And for all of you out there onor behind the lines, this is
your song.
I'm brother Emma Bye Wade,veteran of three foreign wars,
entrepreneur and warrior.
(00:46):
Poet, tony Arterburn takes onthe issues facing our country,
civilization and planet.
This is the Arterburn RadioTransmission.
A man goes to the armory and heis issued a rifle.
(01:31):
He takes that rifle to war andafter the war he turns it in, no
matter what he does with hishands afterwards Build a house,
(01:54):
love a woman, change his son'sdiaper, his hands, remember the
rifle.
We are still in the desert.
That's Anthony Swofford.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,to the Arterburn Radio
Transmission.
I am your host, tony Arterburn,broadcasting as always, in
defiance of globalist goblinsand neocons and the new world
order.
It is the 14th of November 2024.
Lots to talk about today.
(02:16):
The quickening.
Everything is accelerating.
It's Vladimir Lenin's quoteabout.
Sometimes there's decades wherenothing happens, and there's
weeks where decades happen.
All that I was talking to DavidKnight this morning on his show
and just remembering how westarted off this decade.
And, of course, the electionhas passed.
(02:36):
There's a new administration.
I want to talk about cabinetpicks today, not necessarily
about politics, but aboutlanguage, ladies and gents.
I want to talk about what thissignals for the future.
Right now, we're seeing thisvery strange market where happy
days are here again andnothing's wrong.
(02:56):
And we didn't debase the dollar.
We didn't completely destroythe dollar, folks.
We didn't lose the petrodollarno, no, no, that didn't happen.
And there is no such thing asthe BRICS nations who are
de-dollarizing at an alarmingrate.
And gold didn't supplant theeuro as the second most held
reserve asset.
That's just all past us.
It's great, everything's fine.
(03:17):
Go get your FANG stocks.
Listen to Jim Cramer.
No, the fundamentals are allstill there.
For what was driving gold toall-time highs 35 times this
year and now it's pulled back.
We'll talk about gold pricetoday.
Silver's pulled back, peopleare liquidating their positions
to get into the market andreally that's a larger.
(03:38):
I think it's a larger issue forwhat's happening and where
we're headed into 2025.
You know, I was talking to DavidKnight, also about the start of
my media career.
I had been following PatBuchanan for many years.
I read the Death of the West.
It was one of the last books Iread on my exit out of
(04:00):
Mesopotamia, also known as Iraq,on my last and third foreign
war.
I read the Death of the Westand it was about dying
populations, about culture,about cultural Marxism stuff
that they don't teach you in thestandard conservative think
tanks, you know, and I rememberbeing captivated by what I
(04:21):
finally found like this was likethe Rosetta Stone that unlocked
a lot of things for me and ledme to what I do now.
And it's funny, I've been inthis stream of history for quite
some time.
I'm honored to be here.
I like what I do, I like theniche that I'm in, I love my
audience and I'm very gratefuland so many things have taken
the hosts that I started out inradio with they've gone one way
(04:42):
and I've gone the other.
And people I've come intocontact with I've gone one way
and they've gone the other.
And I was thinking about thesubtitle to Buchanan's book.
And as I started out my mediacareer going into 2012, 2013,
(05:11):
and that Christmas of 2011,.
I was reading Suicide of aSuperpower and the subtitle was
Will America Survive to 2025?
And if you go and crack thatbook right now and you really
look at what Buchanan was askingprobably one of the smartest
men to ever run for presidentI'm not the only one that
thought that ArthurSchleichinger Jr, who worked for
JFK, also thought that Buchananknew more about history than
anybody who'd run for president.
And they said, unfortunately hedrew the wrong conclusions.
(05:34):
But I do second a lot of Pat'sthesis in the book, and it had
to do with trade deficits actualdeficits.
It had to do with the tripwiresof global war and it had to do
with culture.
We had a declining culture.
We had an expanding empire andour ability to produce was
(05:55):
shrinking and of course that wasbankrupting the United States
and it was really bankruptingthe soul of America.
So I started out running forUnited States Congress and I
jumped into radio.
I had a radio show in Dallasand, like I said, there are
different paths and I'm reallyglad for what I do, but there's
a stark contrast.
(06:16):
I'll tell you a quick story.
While we're talking aboutcabinet picks, I ran against the
last World War II veteran inCongress.
His name was Ralph Hall andhe'd been a congressman since I
was a baby and he'd been a statesenator and a judge.
He was very plugged in and aconsummate gentleman, real
(06:38):
old-school politician andmarketer.
And he always said I'm not thatsmart, I have to have a gimmick
.
He was a throwback and awarrior, and true grit too.
You know, just a tough man,smart man.
Tough man knew how to play thegame and he was being challenged
.
I ran against.
I thought it was his last term,so I ran against him.
I came out as a libertarian, ronPaul, paleo, kind of a
(07:02):
hodgepodge, you know.
Secure the border, bring thetroops home, audit the Fed, end
the Fed, you know all that.
You know no.
End the income tax, you know,throw out the neocons, all the
rest, peace and prosperity.
And so I ran a.
I ran a tough campaign.
I did a lot of groundwork, alot of stump speeches, a lot of
(07:25):
radio and at the end of thecampaign I obviously didn't win.
I got two calls, one from hischallenger that was in the
second place of the runoff andone from Ralph.
And of course I took Ralph'scall and he said he said I think
we have the same barber, youknow, and I said, yes, sir, we
(07:45):
do, we have the same barber andhe goes I'm pretty sure that SOB
voted for you.
And I said, yes, sir, he did.
And Ralph and I had known eachother I mean for a long time,
since I was a teenager and he'dbeen a Democrat.
You know, he's old school SamRayburn, lbj, democrat, blue dog
and we hit it off and I toldhim I'd help him in his last
(08:09):
campaign and it's a long story,but I ended up being a surrogate
, he, I, was his Twitter andthey would send me out in the
field.
You know, you just speak asRalph, he totally trusts you and
, uh, you can communicate hisviewpoints, and so they would
send me out to these small townsand, um, I'd end up being
paired against his opponent.
And, uh, I knew, uh, hisopponent.
(08:31):
I knew John um from beinginterviewed by the Dallas
morning news and they were justfawning over him and it was.
It was really just a sky, kindof my first real look into the
belly of the beast of the media.
I'd been, you know, as a powerlifter and world champion and
stuff I did in high school andbreaking records and stuff.
(08:51):
I was featured in the papersand I just thought well, that's
how media works, you know, it'snot how that works when you run
for office and you takecontrarian views to what the
establishment holds.
And I remember just going andso I'm good on my feet.
I don't know if you guys knowthis, but I know stuff, and not
(09:11):
everything.
I'm always learning, but evenyou know 33, 34 year old Tony
was pretty sharp.
I knew a lot of history, I knewhow to talk to folks and
especially in East Texas and wetalk about big picture items and
I knew what, how Ralph hadvoted, and I knew you know what,
what, what the challenges wereat the time and I do pretty well
.
And uh, the opponent, um, john,and I'm going to get to this
(09:34):
cause, this is part of thecabinet picks Um, he ended up
beating us and, uh, I waspersona non grata, I mean no
longer welcome in politics.
I chose the I, by the way, I'ddo it again I chose the losing
side.
You know the, the oldestablishment, and the reason I
did that for is multifaceted,but it had with Ralph being last
World War II veteran and he'slike my grandpa.
(09:56):
I mean, he asked me to help him, so I'm going to help him.
And he was one of my, mydearest friends.
I you know, when he was out ofpower, I'd go see him a couple
of times a week.
I'd bring him dinner.
Um, we had a real connection.
He's calling check on me.
This is a man that you know putpresidents on hold.
Um, this isn't me.
He was, uh, he was the one ofthe first promoters for a boxer
(10:18):
named Cassius Clay, also knownas Muhammad Ali, and he was my
friend.
The first time he met my son,houston, he said do you know who
Muhammad Ali is?
I've got a great picture ofHouston sitting with Ralph at
his house.
And Houston said yes, I do, hegoes, he's my friend and that's
all true.
And but anyway, that's howpolitics works and that's how
(10:41):
the bend of history works.
Politics works and that's howthe bend of history works.
And now his opponent, who wasnot fond of your host, and uh,
and neither was his campaign,but he's now going to be the
director of the centralintelligence agency.
So, uh, you guys know my showsand what I talk about.
I find this to be highlycomedic and uh, it just uh,
(11:02):
these kind of moments give me.
I know I'm on the right track.
I know what I'm doing, what I'msupposed to be doing, and even
you know where I am right nowwith radio.
I'm thinking about making somemoves in radio and it's become
such a contrast between where Iam spiritually, where I am
intellectually, where I'm justthe path that I'm on, and what
(11:25):
used to look like the road tosuccess.
It looks totally different tome now and I like where I am,
but that's a true story.
Ladies and gentlemen, johnRatcliffe will be the new head
of the Central IntelligenceAgency.
He was the director of nationalintelligence and my old
sparring partner in debates, sogood luck to him.
(11:47):
All right, let's jump into someother news.
The headlines on Drudge.
Of course, the Onion buysInfoWars and they've got an
article up from Zero Hedge.
Let me share my screen.
Still have a lot of my friendsover at InfoWars.
(12:07):
Strange day, sad day, I mean,just for freedom of speech in
general.
Infowars website down afterOnion buys in bankruptcy Hours.
After yesterday's auction,infowarscom is now down.
We wish Alex Jones well on hisnext endeavor, which we're
guessing is going to be massive.
(12:30):
The leftist satirical rag, theOnion, announced on Thursday it
had won the bankruptcy auctionto acquire Infowars, the website
founded and operated by AlexJones since 1999.
On Wednesday, jones said thatthe auctions trustee could
choose any bidder it wanted, notnecessarily the highest bidder.
Well, this is.
(12:52):
You know, if you saw thiscoming, we've talked about, you
know where they've headed afterthese, the lawsuits and the
Sandy Hook stuff and thejudgments and knowing how
bankruptcy works and how all ofthis stuff and they've gone by
the way.
I don't way.
I think they've broken the moldon all this.
I don't think this is reallyhow bankruptcy works anymore.
They're just.
This is a punitive, it'spunishment, it's over the top,
(13:14):
it's Orwellian and it'sabsolutely disgusting.
And I mean, what could theOnion think to gain from this?
Was anybody?
I mean it's just a domain.
I mean, at this point, you knowAlex can pull his show and go
do the Alex Jones show or theAlex Jones whatever, and the
report, or I mean he couldliterally use, he could start a
(13:35):
new channel, even if they goafter his Twitter channel that's
current, and just reseteverything and get out of this
and you know, not necessarilybeing able to keep the same size
crew, but he will be able to golean and mean, I think, and um,
it just makes you wonder whatthe whole point of this was.
(13:56):
I mean, it's just again they'renot gonna.
What could they recover?
By the way, I've broadcastedmany shows from the info war
studios in Austin and I used toget there sometimes before I
mean right at the same time thesecurity card would show up Like
it was.
You know I was always preparingfor I would be the first person
there to be dark in the studio.
As a matter of fact, I need toin my phone.
(14:18):
I knew somehow on Friday, the13th of November 2020, that
would be my last in-studio show.
I wasn't told that, but I justknew that I wouldn't be back.
I just sometimes get those gutfeelings.
I have a great picture of thestudio being dark, where David
Knight hosted and I'd done many,many shows there.
(14:39):
This is a sad day for freespeech.
It really is a mockery of thejustice system.
You don't have to agree withAlex or anybody from Infowars to
support the Constitution,support the First Amendment and
due process, rule of law.
Yes, this is a strange time andthis makes me reflect on where
(15:06):
I've been in my life and I'mthankful for for InfoWars.
I'm thankful for theopportunity that they need to
text my crew that the key isoutside.
I'm locked the door.
My son, houston, left today.
(15:30):
The studio usually watches thedoor for me, but he's gone and
I'm sitting here thinking I haveto let them know that the key
is outside so they can get in,because they get here early.
I have a great crew, by the way, so let me do that real quick
and then we'll continue thestory.
That's just a little thingabout stream of consciousness
and being my own producer.
(15:50):
Like I can't just wave atsomebody.
And those were the fun times athosting InfoWars.
If you think that doing a showand doing radio live is fun,
wait until you have four peoplerunning a board, somebody
(16:11):
talking in a year, putting clipsup on the screen in real time.
It's like it's like getting offa a, a street bike, you know.
And then somebody lets you getinto a Cadillac, you know, it's
just a completely differentexperience.
And, uh, I'll always be begrateful for my time.
And you know my friends, likeOwen Schroer and Harrison Smith
and Jason Lowe, who got me intoInfoWars in the first place he
(16:31):
used to go by the title MagaTitan, a great guy and just a
good bunch of people, a lot ofmy InfoWars friends.
I wish them well.
This is a strange, strange thingto go through.
But you know, I think on theother end of this you could
build something even better.
Sometimes it's sometimes again,it's a blessing in disguise or
(16:54):
you could get over leveraged,you could be in a position where
it's time for a change, and I'mnot wishing that on anybody.
But did the forces ofcensorship, did they win here?
Does anybody think that this isa win?
Um, all right, text is out so Ican uh rest easy going through
(17:18):
the rest of the show that we'regoing to be okay.
All right, let's, um, let'stransition a little bit.
I do want to get into thecabinet picks, but I want to
talk a little bit of financeBefore we do.
Let's do a little pop culture.
I don't normally do this, butthis brought up just kind of my
warrior mindset, where I am inmy life and things that are
(17:39):
interesting to me, that spark mywheelhouse.
I saw this as a link up ondrudge and, uh, I think we've
just gotten so far away in thiscountry from knowing what the
warrior mentality is, um, whatconstitutes discipline.
And I saw this article and I'mnot won't read the whole thing,
(17:59):
but just to get back to basicshere.
There's here this is the mirrorAgain.
It's a link that was up onDrudge.
There's a fight coming up, asyou know.
Mike Tyson is going to befighting Jake Paul.
I want to just bring this upfor a second as part of again
stream of consciousness.
I thought I'd bring this up.
Mike Tyson has done a terriblejob of hiding uncomfortable
(18:23):
truth about Jake Paul fight.
Now, this is how the headlinegoes If you read a little
further into it.
And, by the way, I've beenfollowing because I love Mike
Tyson and I've been followinghis training and as an old guy
okay now, I used to be a worldchamp and as an old guy, I like
seeing another champion who'sgetting older, who's not going
(18:46):
quietly into the good night Okay, he's not going quietly, he's
training hard, he's stillsetting goals and he's always
been.
You know, since my I thinkabout 30 years old is when I
really found out who, uh, mikeTyson was.
There was a great documentaryby James Toback.
Mike Tyson was.
There was a great documentaryby James Toback.
It's just titled Tyson.
I recommend that to anyone,especially a young man and just
(19:12):
a really interesting human beingand a true profile in courage.
In my opinion, I think he's oneof the greatest fighters of all
time and, uh and especially,the most interesting.
And so they go into thisarticle and what they're just
drawing a conclusion is that umtyson isn't up for anything like
(19:36):
he's.
Um he's done with this.
It says it was supposed to bethe last chance of trash talking
and to put their point across,but as mike tyson and jake paul
met for the final pressconference, the former could
barely have seemed less likely.
He wanted to be there.
Ariel Helawani's attempts toget any answers were met with a
(19:56):
remarkable brief response.
The media had just as littlesuccess, and even when Jake Paul
tried to drag him into exchange, all he got was I'm just ready,
I've said everything I have tosay.
Tyson later added and apre-planned part of the press
conference is hosted by HelawaniTyson said just 21 words, as he
(20:19):
said very little over theremainder of the 45-minute event
.
When he returned to the stageto face off with Paul, he
instantly turned away to leave,before being dragged back for
final photos.
We established that Tyson isready, quote-unquote and firm.
I'm not going to lose, but thatwas about it.
It says whether Tyson is infact truly ready or whether or
(20:43):
not he is going to lose is upfor some substantial debate.
The only thing that does seemclear is that Tyson has very
little interest in selling theevent.
Well, the event's already sold.
I just wanted to this this justbriefly.
We live in an age of soundbites.
Uh, we live in an age of falsetough guys, bravado, narcissism,
(21:06):
over the top, hubris.
Let me tell you somethingdangerous, and I think if I was
to channel, where I would be isI'd be very quiet.
I'd be the same thing If I knewI was ready, if I had trained
hard and this was where I wantedto.
You know, and if you listen tohim and being interviewed, I
(21:30):
wouldn't want to fight this man.
This is not how the bluster,the over-the-top rhetoric, the
overtures, all the stuff thathappens when you get somebody's
ego involved.
(21:51):
You don't see that here andthat's the tell.
So I'm going to watch on the.
I think it's tomorrow, so I'llbe watching.
I'll find a way to watch thefight Because in my opinion,
that's somebody that's verydangerous.
I mean, we have sourceinundated with a bunch of faux
(22:16):
effete, fake tough people.
They're all around, they're onthe Internet, they're commenting
, they're this, they're allaround, they're on the internet,
they're commenting, they'rethis, they're that, and then
when you really get down to thenitty gritty, you know they run,
and so we got to be careful.
It's hard to find what isactually real.
So if I'm reading this, I thinkthat's very authentic.
(22:36):
I'd be the exact same way.
I'd be that way before.
You know, when I went into, youknow, be challenged.
When I was challenged to breakworld records and I knew that
what was on the line, I gotreally quiet Because that's what
I'd be thinking about.
You know it wouldn't.
I wouldn't waste time hypinganything.
(22:59):
Sometimes you can hype up to itand you can talk about what
you're going to do, and then youreach that point and there's a
lesson in that, especially ifyou're a younger man pay
attention to what happens next.
All right, now let's jump intosome.
Let's see we've got oh, we'vegot enough time.
Let's jump into just a littlebit of headlines on.
(23:19):
Of course, this is parapoliticsand precious metals, but a
hodgepodge of a show, ladies andgents, and I'm glad you're
tuned in.
We've got a new timeline forParatroother.
I talked with Mr Anderson, Italked with Chris Graves.
We are setting a new scheduleand I'm going to put this out on
(23:40):
my Twitter feed, out on X We'llmake it official.
But 5 pm Eastern on Sundays,we're going to do Paratroopers
Live and it'll be a little bitof topical, a little bit of deep
dives, and we'll have guestsand sometimes we'll not go live.
I'll do interviews and thingslike that, but it looks like
(24:00):
we're going to do a pair oftruthers live, so set that on
your schedule.
You'll be able to comment andwe'll do that on the america
unplugged channels, over onrockfin, on rumble and, of
course, my ex, and then we'llmaybe even talk about free world
other places we'll get itstreaming.
Uh, that'll be live on sundays,5 pm Eastern.
(24:23):
This is Kitco something I talkedwith David about and we don't
have to go into the entirearticle.
But this is the World GoldCouncil.
It says gold pullback likelytemporary amid rising stocks,
crypto and the dollar.
The gold rally has been on holdsince the re-election of Donald
Trump, with the yellow metalresting support at $2,600 as
(24:46):
traders take profits and rotateinto stocks and cryptos, but
(25:07):
with multiple headwinds stillfacing the global economy
analysts think it's 35 times inthis year are still there buying
gold at a record pace, mainlyall central banks outside of the
West buying gold at a recordpace.
De-dollarization, you know.
(25:28):
Now the US goes into a trilliondollars in debt every 90 days
and possibly more.
It takes a trillion dollarsjust to service the interest on
the debt, which is more than theentire defense budget by about
$300 billion.
Massive folks.
We have massive financialfallout from what's happened
over the last especially andaccelerated the last 10 years.
(25:49):
It's been unprecedented moneyand currency creation and that's
just continuing.
None of these things are off thetable as far as every war is
still available We'll talk aboutcabinet picks in here in a
second Every war is stillavailable.
Everything's still on the table.
So all the things that weredriving gold and again that's
(26:11):
fear, uncertainty, doubt.
You know the FUD.
It's still driving gold, exceptthese little blurps or these
little, you know, again, bendsin the river of time.
They are happening in themarketplace, so you can take
advantage of that.
I think gold's probably goingto dip a little further and I'll
give gold and silver pricesbefore we close out, but this is
(26:32):
part of it.
This is from the World GoldCouncil.
The first week of November sawgold move lower after hitting a
new all-time high on the firstof the month, hitting a new
all-time high on the first ofthe month.
And again, to truly understandwhere we are, I've told this
before, but in 2011,.
Gold hit $1,930 an ounce.
(26:54):
The head of the Federal Reserve, ben Bernanke, came out and
said sorry, we drove this priceup.
We didn't mean to.
We had to bail out these giantfinancial institutions that were
too big to fail.
We didn't mean to.
We had to bail out these giantfinancial institutions that were
too big to fail.
We won't do that again.
Tarp funds and all that.
So gold and silver fell afterthat and there wasn't another
all-time high until 2020, ladiesand gentlemen, so nine years.
(27:17):
And then I was on air when itdid that and it broke another
all-time high, and then it wasdormant again for another two
years up until the invasion ofUkraine by Russia.
And then you fast forward tonow and it's done it 30-some-odd
times.
I don't know the exact number,but it's probably 35 this year.
So something is afoot and allthose things that drive that
(27:40):
price are still there.
Yeah, let's see if there'sanything.
Yeah, the US elections resultshave taken a bit of a knee-jerk
sting out of gold's impressiveyear-to-date rally.
The analyst said Suggestedreasons are continued
strengthening in bond yields andthe US dollar, risk on
(28:02):
sentiment equity markets, aboost in cryptocurrencies and a
quelling of geopoliticaltensions.
And that is true.
But here's the fundamentals.
The fundamentals are and we'regoing to get into cabinet picks
here at the end of the show Ifyou look at policy, personnel as
policy, the United States isstill gearing up for war.
(28:24):
That's why I opened up the showquoting Anthony Swofford from
his memoir Jarhead.
It's something I think of often.
You know your hands, rememberthe rifle.
I look at global tensions andthe goals of the ruling class in
the US and some of them seemjust absolutely schizophrenic.
Trump was again ran as thepeace candidate.
(28:49):
That's what we were supposed tosee.
But I've seen that before inhistory.
Woodrow Wilson ran as the peacecandidate in 1916.
His actual slogan was he keptus out of war and as soon as he
was re-inaugurated on march 4th1917, uh, he took us to war.
That was the first thing he didand he used the lusitania,
(29:09):
which was two years before that.
Um, that wasn't the real reason.
It was, uh, deals that weremade.
You know there was thezimmerman telegram, you know,
from the german consulate to the, to me, mexico, saying that if
they would join the Germanefforts that they would get back
the Southwest when the UnitedStates was defeated, and so on
(29:30):
and so forth.
And that was you really tracethat back?
There's a Rothschilds agent inGermany that got that to happen
because they wanted the US tojoin the war.
And of course, fdr said thesame thing.
You know, running for anunprecedented third term.
No one had ever done that.
And well, I think US Grant did.
I think Ulysses S Grant triedto run for a third or a
(29:52):
nomination, but he didn'tactually get all the way to a
third term, not in a row.
But he said you know he'd seenwar and he hates war and he's
not going to send your boys toanother European war.
That's the first thing he did.
So we have to always beskeptical of what you know.
Personnel is policy All right.
So all the fundamentals stillthere, folks.
(30:14):
Don't forget that.
It reminded me of the movie andthe Independence Day.
You know when they are inHouston, you know, after the
craft is all hovering over themajor cities, they send the
scout out and they're going tomake the decision to use nuclear
weapons.
And they thought they got ridof it.
And it clears, the blast clearsafter they've nuked it, and
(30:35):
then nothing happens.
And they say target remains.
Well, that's what I mean bythis election Great reset
remains, you know, the agendaetremains, the Agenda 2030 remains
.
All the fundamentals are stillthere.
All the bones are still there.
It's up to us to continue toshare information and be aware.
I think it's just takingconsciousness to the next level.
(30:58):
Really is the goal here forpeople understanding where we
are?
Because you get stuck in thesame paradigm, you're going to
get the same things.
All right, let's jump over.
Let's talk about these uhcabinet picks a little bit.
I've already told you aboutjohn rackliff and, of course,
the unknown that's not in here.
(31:20):
Uh, that I could see was theSecretary of Defense pick.
Again, this isn't aboutpolitics.
This is about language.
I want you to pay attention tothe language.
This was an article I pulledfrom antiwarcom.
It says meet the pro-Israelhawks.
(31:42):
Donald Trump has tapped for hisnew administration.
Uh, mondo Weiss is the news andopinion outlet this uh stems
from.
This is Donald Trump is fillinghis incoming administration
with pro-Israeli war hawks.
The moves indicate he willembrace hawkish foreign policy
in the middle East and advanceattacks against organizations
aiming to help Palestinians.
(32:03):
Donald Trump is picking anumber of pro-Israel voices to
join his cabinet.
His selections, some of whichhave officially been made and
others which have only beenreported from inside sources,
solidify the fact that hisadministration will embrace a
hawkish foreign policy in theMiddle East and advance attacks
against organizations aiming tohelp Palestinians.
(32:25):
The first one is Marco Rubio.
I have so many fond memories of2016, and I think one of the
greatest moments in politics andI have to I really have to just
whenever I see this man's name.
You know Rubio's running forpresident in 2015, 2016.
(32:47):
And, of course, he's the pickof the council on foreign
relations and, you know, typicalpro-war.
He's my age, right, and Ialways get weirded out by people
that are my age and they'relike really pro-war, like it's
okay, you didn't go, but if youdidn't go and you could have,
and you aren like really pro-war, like it's okay, you didn't go,
but if you didn't go and youcould have, and you aren't
really pro-war.
Now, it's just, it's just sobizarre to me, there's something
(33:08):
fundamentally, it's just like athorn in my mind.
Whenever I hear that and he'sone of those people.
Uh, I used to say, like youknow, I ran.
I ran towards the battlefieldand rubio ran for office, so
we're two different people.
But this is this is besides thepoint.
He had a bad night with ChrisChristie Does anybody remember
this?
And I don't like Chris Christie, but he did a great job just
(33:31):
breaking Rubio down and I thinkthey were in New Hampshire
debating and the next day hekept repeating himself during
this live debate because he'dmemorized.
That's the one thing about whenyou run for office If you
really know what you believe,it's fun.
Like you never like I love,like a lot of politicians and
I'm not a politician, but a lotof the people that run for
(33:51):
office they hate question timeand I absolutely loved it.
I love question time.
That's like you know, brerRabbit, don't throw me in the
briar patch Like.
That's the most, that's thebest part of it, because if you
believe something, then you onlyjust you want to talk about it,
you know.
So I would find that to be thebest time, but Rubio obviously
not.
(34:11):
And he scripted and had, youknow, focus groups and
everything.
He's really contorted and he'strying to remember what his
lines are, but he keepsrepeating himself and somebody
did the hashtag robot Rubio andthe next day, somebody dressed
up as a 1950s robot and followedhim around a schoolhouse in New
(34:36):
Hampshire and it was one of thefunniest things.
Whoever did that, that iscomedic.
They were silent and it wasjust like beep.
And follow him around like beep, or and follow him around like
he's the fellow robot.
That, to me, one of thegreatest moments in politics.
Uh, I've never forgotten it.
And you can also look up thingslike marco, marco rubio phone
party, I don't know.
There's other things that, uh,it's just a, you know, an
(34:58):
interesting time to be alive.
But he's the secretary of statecoming up.
Trump will pick Marco Rubio andyou can know where his foreign
policy is.
Okay, I mean, it's not as badas Lindsey Graham's, which is
basically, we got to killeverybody or they're going to
kill us.
I mean, you ever heard this guy?
(35:19):
Lindsey Graham is precious.
He's scared about everything,everything, even himself.
Um, he's, he's just so.
I just picture him, you know,sitting in a dark room sipping
chardonnay, just scared ofeverything that's out there.
You know everything.
He's just really, really afraid.
Um, but again, you can go backand look at things that Rubio
(35:47):
has written.
He says after returning from atrip to the country in the
spring.
He penned into this Israel.
He penned a national reviewop-ed, declaring that in the end
, no matter what theinternational community says,
israel has a right to defenditself and the United States
must support its effort todestroy Hamas as a terrorist
threat.
Well, israel certainly has theright to exist and defend itself
(36:14):
and it also needs to be smartenough not to put Hamas in power
.
And if you will just take fiveminutes and actually look that
up, that would help somebody whoneeds a little bit of nuance,
like they did that.
They funded it.
It's kind of like what Al Qaedais Like.
If you want to find out whatthe origin of Al Qaeda is, it
doesn't mean the base.
To find out what the origin ofal-Qaeda is, it doesn't mean the
(36:35):
base, it means the database.
It comes from 1979 when theCentral Intelligence Agency took
over the database from theMuslim Brotherhood and the
British that had controlled itto fight the Soviet Empire in
Afghanistan.
They collected the names of thefighters.
That's where that comes from.
It's the data base, not thebase.
And that's where you get peoplelike, uh, tim osmond's, where
(36:59):
you get some bin laden and hewas visiting the pentagon, uh.
So you know it's easy towhitewash history.
And and then you, you know youcan create an enemy and then
fight the enemy.
A lot of that's how this isdone.
If you've ever read a wallstreet, the Bolshevik Revolution
or Wall Street and the rise ofHitler by Anthony Sutton, you
(37:20):
realize that sometimes enemiesare created.
Sometimes, you know, history isnot just bumbling, it's so
silly.
Like court historians are like,well, there's just peace and
prosperity.
And then there's a dictator youknow like, and then there's
this, and then there's a rise ofsomething that's a threat, okay
, and it just comes out ofnowhere.
Like nobody backs it.
(37:40):
Like you know, where did theyget the bolshevik revolution
from?
You know, oh, they just someguys.
They picked up power.
It was just lying in the street.
No, that's not how any of thatworks.
Then Mike Waltz, NationalSecurity Advisor Waltz is
(38:01):
primarily known for being one ofthe house's biggest China hawks
, but he's also a fierceadvocate for Israel.
The China hawk stuff.
Do you know that really justcame on into the zeitgeist, into
the forefront in the last fiveyears?
I mean for those administrationin 2001, 90 days after 9-11,
(38:40):
gave China most favored tradingstatus.
So and actually that's theanniversary when Hitler declared
war on the United States in1941.
That's besides the point, butthat's what George W Bush did.
And right after that we lost55,000 factories.
One in three manufacturing jobsdisappeared and the Bush
administration tried to makefast food workers into
(39:02):
manufacturing because they builtsandwiches.
I'm not kidding, because thenumbers were so bad.
We literally lost what was leftof America's heartland and its
production from that.
So they used to to.
So this is me telling you redflags okay, whenever.
And they've changed policy onchina.
And in january 1st 1979, zignubrzezinski, in a memo for jimmy
(39:26):
carter as his national securityadvisor, drafted a one China
policy memorandum where we brokediplomatic ties with Taipei,
which is Taiwan.
We in favor of going directwith China, not recognizing
Taiwan.
So we've reversed that now andwe built them up.
(39:49):
We gave, gave away through freetrade policies and other
globalist agendas.
We gave away the manufacturingability of the united states to
china to build it up.
So you got to ask yourself why.
So now you have china hawks.
John ratcliffe's a china hawk.
He thinks that they're buildingum, super soldiers and um, I
(40:14):
don't know you would cyborgs orsomething.
It's almost science fiction.
They could very well be.
They're a totalitarian regimeand Justin Trudeau loves them.
So it's kind of like, do youlove them?
The establishment, what arethey?
I'm just skeptical on anythingwith china hawk policies because
(40:36):
we gave them everything.
I mean, it's not china's fault,you?
You look at uh the clintonswith uh bags of cash china in
the 90s.
You know like giving them ohthe, and then we give stuff to
the israelis.
You could look this up.
We give a lot of like secretmissile technology to the
Israelis and they sold them tothe Chinese.
So you're pro-Israel and aChina hawk.
(41:00):
I want to talk to your buddyabout not selling the Chinese
missile secrets.
You know stuff like that.
Then you have Mike Huckabee.
He's probably not a bad guy andhe has been selected as Trump's
ambassador to Israel.
He's an evangelical pastor andthis is interesting.
(41:23):
I grew up you know my viewsaren't ever were this, but I
grew up in the same kind ofthought.
I am a follower of Jesus.
In the same kind of thought Iam a follower of Jesus.
I find myself kind ofconflicted, and especially in
the modern church, especiallywhen I came back from Iraq and
you get kind of these talkingpoints from a lot of
(41:44):
evangelicals that are, you knowthe United States really only
exists to support Israel.
Some of my family members thinkthat I don't follow that line.
I don't find anything.
I mean I don't follow that line, I don't find anything.
I mean I read the Bible everyday.
I don't find that in there.
So that's not my wheelhouse,that's not what I want, but
that's certainly something thatsomebody that's like Mike
(42:04):
Huckabee would espouse, which isstrange.
So you're going to be ambassadorto this country.
You believe that is almost likethe raise on debt, like the
reason the United States exists.
That's what they believe.
I don't know, and a lot ofpeople listening to the show
might.
And that's your thing, that'sfine.
You can have as many of yourown opinions.
(42:25):
We certainly won't criticizeyou.
But I do have an issue with ifyou look at the totality here of
what's being set up and it'snot just about israel folks,
it's about iran and the goals ofthe neocons, the goals of the
military industrial complex.
Did you ever see?
(42:45):
Uh?
Oliver stone did a movie calledw, and it's where he he depicts
uh Cheney.
Right, cheney is, uh is thevice president.
He's showing a big map and heshows all the bases.
You know that the U?
S is putting together.
This is post nine, 11.
And then, of course, postinvasion of Iraq.
(43:07):
And then it's this big mass,big mass, you know, and it says
Iran.
And it really is like he turnsand he says you know, they ask
him what's the exit strategy?
He says there is no exitstrategy, we stay.
(43:29):
So Iran, for the complexitieshere, it's not just that it
threatens Israel, it's that it'snatural resource rich, it's
also an asset in the column ofRussia.
If you don't know your history,you've got to look at your
(43:50):
geography.
But that's a go-to, like that'sYalta, you know, I've mentioned
this before.
Like the deciding meetingbetween Stalin, churchill and
FDR was in Yalta.
It's Iran.
And of course that was becauseof they met there, because of
Stalin.
You have to remember.
(44:10):
These aren't just one-sidedthings, like you see.
Well, we have to support Israel, so we're against Iran.
It's a multifaceted thing andthat's why I'm looking at these
cabinet picks and it certainlyseems that we are preparing for
something.
(44:36):
And then there's Elise Stefanik,ambassador to the United
Nations.
She's a congresswoman from NewYork.
As ambassador to the UnitedNations, an organization that
the House member has attackedfor its alleged anti-Israel bias
, stefanik celebrated Israel'sdecision to ban UNRWA, which she
(44:57):
claims instills anti-Semitichate in Palestinians.
I would have preferred her justbeing anti-UN.
There's a bill to get us out ofthe UN.
That's what I'm looking for.
I'm looking to more Americansovereignty, absolute American
sovereignty.
That's what I'm looking for.
Get out of the UN.
There's a bill to exit the UN.
(45:21):
Most Congress people don'tco-sponsor.
Why do you think that is soagain, common theme here.
You got to see you know thepersonnel is policy folks.
There's Christie Gnome.
She's going to head up this, uh, the department of homeland
security.
Uh, trump is expected tonominate south dakota governor
(45:44):
christy gnome as secretary ofdepartment of homeland security.
Doubts about the future ofgnome's political career
developed early this year whenshe realized she had once killed
her own dog and was found tohave lied about meeting Kim
Jong-un.
That's a pretty big lie.
It's kind of hard to pull off,don't you think?
Early this year, noe signed abill asserting that the
(46:06):
controversial InternationalHolocaust Remembrance Alliance,
ihra's working definition ofanti-Semitism must be taken into
account during investigationsinto discriminatory practices.
Well, it's hard to know.
(46:26):
I forgot about that.
I forgot about the.
I met Kim Jong-un.
I remembered about her dog, butI'd forgotten that she'd
claimed that that's a big one.
You know used to, you didn'trecover from stuff like that in
politics, and now we just do.
You know, ever since Trump, hejust did this off the cuff.
(46:49):
It was one of the mostentertaining things I'd ever
seen in politics when he just uh, he was.
This is back candidate Trumprunning in 2015.
And he just says about JohnMcCain and John McCain's
criticism of him and he says Iprefer people that weren't
captured and I remember watchingthat going.
Well, uh, that's pretty funnyand as a I'm a vet and I'm
(47:12):
laughing at this and I'm like Idon't know what happens next and
nothing did and that's, that'sjust because the country got so
bad off, folks.
I mean, we're just, we're notin the mood, like you, it's hard
to get canceled anymore.
Really, I mean, they justbecome so over the top.
So interesting times, folks.
And then, you know, thesecretary of defense pick.
(47:36):
This is interesting, um, and Ithink a lot of things remain to
be seen.
He's my age, uh, pete hegsethand he's going to be secretary
of defense.
Looks like, you know, he's aFox news contributor.
He's a veteran, but not like me.
I don't think we share the same.
(47:58):
I'm see, I'm not an approvedveteran.
That's the thing is like.
When I went into radio, theythought I was one thing and they
thought they were going to getsomething that they didn't get.
And I always just made a mad.
You know it's, it's been aproblem of mine.
They always think they're goingto get something and then again
I I pull out things like well,you know, I'm a, I'm anti-war,
(48:19):
what.
Like I didn't support theincursion into Syria.
I was right, you know, it wouldhave been a disaster.
I mean, lindsey Graham at thetime was like we got to get
200,000 troops in there.
They're gonna kill us all.
I remember him saying that Iliterally he said that because
he was running for president.
Well, it was.
That was two years after, butthe same time frame, and he was
(48:40):
saying, when I was saying thatwe got to get out of syria, we
can't go in there, I wasn't likevery much.
And that's when they found outlike oh, tony doesn't want more
middle eastern wars, like nope,none, there's, no, there's no
vital national security interestin the middle East.
If you actually boil it down,there's nothing.
I live there, I know.
(49:02):
I mean you can just buy oilfrom whoever owns it.
Uh, that seems fine to me.
It's not worth thousands ortens of thousands of American
lives or casualties, ortrillions in blood and treasure.
Is it worth it?
For what?
So the Iraqi parliament can banthe US dollar.
Did neocons have any?
(49:23):
I think it was Russell Kirk whotalked about the conservative
thinker.
He said that theneoconservatives were often
clever, never wise.
We shall know them by theirfruits.
It's just war, death.
And even Trump said that whenhe was president.
(49:44):
It's nothing but sand and death.
And I'm going to learn moreabout this Secretary of Defense
pick, but I've seen some of hisclips on Fox.
And again, pro vet, but I'm provet in a way that I want.
I don't want to make more ofthem when it's unnecessary and
there's nothing on the globalstage that we need to be
(50:05):
involved in.
Iran can't project power.
It doesn't have an air forcecapable of delivering anything
here.
It doesn't have an army capable, unless we just let them walk
over the Southern border, whichI guess we could do.
They have no way of projectingpower except the weapon of the
week, which is terror, andeverybody has that.
But again, you have to thinkrationally, unlike general
(50:29):
Millie who said that the Jsixers almost overthrew
democracy because they went intoa building.
I don't know what war collegehe went to, but there's no power
in a building.
If that was the case, then whydidn't they send me to the
government buildings when weinvaded Iraq and I could have
just said hooray and plant theflag and there's peace.
There's no power in a building,folks, power comes from who
(50:53):
controls the weaponry?
Who controls the energy?
Who controls the supplies?
Who controls the military?
That's where power comes from.
It's not in a building.
But they'll confuse you withstuff like that.
All right, we are going to closeout.
I appreciate everybody fortuning in today.
I just ran out of runway herewith the shows, but be sure and
(51:15):
tune in to Paratroother.
We're going to be live Sunday,5 pm Eastern Time on the Rockfin
and Rumble and the AmericaUnplugged channels, as well as
my Twitter.
I will be there with MrAnderson and Chris Graves,
researcher without peer, andhe's always bringing always

(51:56):
End of transmission.
We have before us the opportunity to forge, for
ourselves and for futuregenerations, a new world order.
Good evening folks.
You're listening to the hour ofthe time.
I'm William Cooper.
The chair is against the wall.
The chair is against the wall.
John has a long mustache.
(00:25):
John has a long mustache.
It's 12 o'clock, americans,another day closer to victory.
And for all of you out there onor behind the lines, this is
your song.
I'm brother Emma Bye Wade,veteran of three foreign wars,
entrepreneur and warrior.
(00:46):
Poet, tony Arterburn takes onthe issues facing our country,
civilization and planet.
This is the Arterburn RadioTransmission.
A man goes to the armory and heis issued a rifle.
(01:31):
He takes that rifle to war andafter the war he turns it in, no
matter what he does with hishands afterwards Build a house,
(01:54):
love a woman, change his son'sdiaper, his hands, remember the
rifle.
We are still in the desert.
That's Anthony Swofford.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,to the Arterburn Radio
Transmission.
I am your host, tony Arterburn,broadcasting as always, in
defiance of globalist goblinsand neocons and the new world
order.
It is the 14th of November 2024.
Lots to talk about today.
(02:16):
The quickening.
Everything is accelerating.
It's Vladimir Lenin's quoteabout.
Sometimes there's decades wherenothing happens, and there's
weeks where decades happen.
All that I was talking to DavidKnight this morning on his show
and just remembering how westarted off this decade.
And, of course, the electionhas passed.
(02:36):
There's a new administration.
I want to talk about cabinetpicks today, not necessarily
about politics, but aboutlanguage, ladies and gents.
I want to talk about what thissignals for the future.
Right now, we're seeing thisvery strange market where happy
days are here again andnothing's wrong.
(02:56):
And we didn't debase the dollar.
We didn't completely destroythe dollar, folks.
We didn't lose the petrodollarno, no, no, that didn't happen.
And there is no such thing asthe BRICS nations who are
de-dollarizing at an alarmingrate.
And gold didn't supplant theeuro as the second most held
reserve asset.
That's just all past us.
It's great, everything's fine.
(03:17):
Go get your FANG stocks.
Listen to Jim Cramer.
No, the fundamentals are allstill there.
For what was driving gold toall-time highs 35 times this
year and now it's pulled back.
We'll talk about gold pricetoday.
Silver's pulled back, peopleare liquidating their positions
to get into the market andreally that's a larger.
(03:38):
I think it's a larger issue forwhat's happening and where
we're headed into 2025.
You know, I was talking to DavidKnight, also about the start of
my media career.
I had been following PatBuchanan for many years.
I read the Death of the West.
It was one of the last books Iread on my exit out of
(04:00):
Mesopotamia, also known as Iraq,on my last and third foreign
war.
I read the Death of the Westand it was about dying
populations, about culture,about cultural Marxism stuff
that they don't teach you in thestandard conservative think
tanks, you know, and I rememberbeing captivated by what I
(04:21):
finally found like this was likethe Rosetta Stone that unlocked
a lot of things for me and ledme to what I do now.
And it's funny, I've been inthis stream of history for quite
some time.
I'm honored to be here.
I like what I do, I like theniche that I'm in, I love my
audience and I'm very gratefuland so many things have taken
the hosts that I started out inradio with they've gone one way
(04:42):
and I've gone the other.
And people I've come intocontact with I've gone one way
and they've gone the other.
And I was thinking about thesubtitle to Buchanan's book.
And as I started out my mediacareer going into 2012, 2013,
(05:11):
and that Christmas of 2011,.
I was reading Suicide of aSuperpower and the subtitle was
Will America Survive to 2025?
And if you go and crack thatbook right now and you really
look at what Buchanan was askingprobably one of the smartest
men to ever run for presidentI'm not the only one that
thought that ArthurSchleichinger Jr, who worked for
JFK, also thought that Buchananknew more about history than
anybody who'd run for president.
And they said, unfortunately hedrew the wrong conclusions.
(05:34):
But I do second a lot of Pat'sthesis in the book, and it had
to do with trade deficits actualdeficits.
It had to do with the tripwiresof global war and it had to do
with culture.
We had a declining culture.
We had an expanding empire andour ability to produce was
(05:55):
shrinking and of course that wasbankrupting the United States
and it was really bankruptingthe soul of America.
So I started out running forUnited States Congress and I
jumped into radio.
I had a radio show in Dallasand, like I said, there are
different paths and I'm reallyglad for what I do, but there's
a stark contrast.
(06:16):
I'll tell you a quick story.
While we're talking aboutcabinet picks, I ran against the
last World War II veteran inCongress.
His name was Ralph Hall andhe'd been a congressman since I
was a baby and he'd been a statesenator and a judge.
He was very plugged in and aconsummate gentleman, real
(06:38):
old-school politician andmarketer.
And he always said I'm not thatsmart, I have to have a gimmick
.
He was a throwback and awarrior, and true grit too.
You know, just a tough man,smart man.
Tough man knew how to play thegame and he was being challenged
.
I ran against.
I thought it was his last term,so I ran against him.
I came out as a libertarian, ronPaul, paleo, kind of a
(07:02):
hodgepodge, you know.
Secure the border, bring thetroops home, audit the Fed, end
the Fed, you know all that.
You know no.
End the income tax, you know,throw out the neocons, all the
rest, peace and prosperity.
And so I ran a.
I ran a tough campaign.
I did a lot of groundwork, alot of stump speeches, a lot of
(07:25):
radio and at the end of thecampaign I obviously didn't win.
I got two calls, one from hischallenger that was in the
second place of the runoff andone from Ralph.
And of course I took Ralph'scall and he said he said I think
we have the same barber, youknow, and I said, yes, sir, we
(07:45):
do, we have the same barber andhe goes I'm pretty sure that SOB
voted for you.
And I said, yes, sir, he did.
And Ralph and I had known eachother I mean for a long time,
since I was a teenager and he'dbeen a Democrat.
You know, he's old school SamRayburn, lbj, democrat, blue dog
and we hit it off and I toldhim I'd help him in his last
(08:09):
campaign and it's a long story,but I ended up being a surrogate
, he, I, was his Twitter andthey would send me out in the
field.
You know, you just speak asRalph, he totally trusts you and
, uh, you can communicate hisviewpoints, and so they would
send me out to these small townsand, um, I'd end up being
paired against his opponent.
And, uh, I knew, uh, hisopponent.
(08:31):
I knew John um from beinginterviewed by the Dallas
morning news and they were justfawning over him and it was.
It was really just a sky, kindof my first real look into the
belly of the beast of the media.
I'd been, you know, as a powerlifter and world champion and
stuff I did in high school andbreaking records and stuff.
(08:51):
I was featured in the papersand I just thought well, that's
how media works, you know, it'snot how that works when you run
for office and you takecontrarian views to what the
establishment holds.
And I remember just going andso I'm good on my feet.
I don't know if you guys knowthis, but I know stuff, and not
(09:11):
everything.
I'm always learning, but evenyou know 33, 34 year old Tony
was pretty sharp.
I knew a lot of history, I knewhow to talk to folks and
especially in East Texas and wetalk about big picture items and
I knew what, how Ralph hadvoted, and I knew you know what,
what, what the challenges wereat the time and I do pretty well
.
And uh, the opponent, um, john,and I'm going to get to this
(09:34):
cause, this is part of thecabinet picks Um, he ended up
beating us and, uh, I waspersona non grata, I mean no
longer welcome in politics.
I chose the I, by the way, I'ddo it again I chose the losing
side.
You know the, the oldestablishment, and the reason I
did that for is multifaceted,but it had with Ralph being last
World War II veteran and he'slike my grandpa.
(09:56):
I mean, he asked me to help him, so I'm going to help him.
And he was one of my, mydearest friends.
I you know, when he was out ofpower, I'd go see him a couple
of times a week.
I'd bring him dinner.
Um, we had a real connection.
He's calling check on me.
This is a man that you know putpresidents on hold.
Um, this isn't me.
He was, uh, he was the one ofthe first promoters for a boxer
(10:18):
named Cassius Clay, also knownas Muhammad Ali, and he was my
friend.
The first time he met my son,houston, he said do you know who
Muhammad Ali is?
I've got a great picture ofHouston sitting with Ralph at
his house.
And Houston said yes, I do, hegoes, he's my friend and that's
all true.
And but anyway, that's howpolitics works and that's how
(10:41):
the bend of history works.
Politics works and that's howthe bend of history works.
And now his opponent, who wasnot fond of your host, and uh,
and neither was his campaign,but he's now going to be the
director of the centralintelligence agency.
So, uh, you guys know my showsand what I talk about.
I find this to be highlycomedic and uh, it just uh,
(11:02):
these kind of moments give me.
I know I'm on the right track.
I know what I'm doing, what I'msupposed to be doing, and even
you know where I am right nowwith radio.
I'm thinking about making somemoves in radio and it's become
such a contrast between where Iam spiritually, where I am
intellectually, where I'm justthe path that I'm on, and what
(11:25):
used to look like the road tosuccess.
It looks totally different tome now and I like where I am,
but that's a true story.
Ladies and gentlemen, johnRatcliffe will be the new head
of the Central IntelligenceAgency.
He was the director of nationalintelligence and my old
sparring partner in debates, sogood luck to him.
(11:47):
All right, let's jump into someother news.
The headlines on Drudge.
Of course, the Onion buysInfoWars and they've got an
article up from Zero Hedge.
Let me share my screen.
Still have a lot of my friendsover at InfoWars.
(12:07):
Strange day, sad day, I mean,just for freedom of speech in
general.
Infowars website down afterOnion buys in bankruptcy Hours.
After yesterday's auction,infowarscom is now down.
We wish Alex Jones well on hisnext endeavor, which we're
guessing is going to be massive.
(12:30):
The leftist satirical rag, theOnion, announced on Thursday it
had won the bankruptcy auctionto acquire Infowars, the website
founded and operated by AlexJones since 1999.
On Wednesday, jones said thatthe auctions trustee could
choose any bidder it wanted, notnecessarily the highest bidder.
Well, this is.
(12:52):
You know, if you saw thiscoming, we've talked about, you
know where they've headed afterthese, the lawsuits and the
Sandy Hook stuff and thejudgments and knowing how
bankruptcy works and how all ofthis stuff and they've gone by
the way.
I don't way.
I think they've broken the moldon all this.
I don't think this is reallyhow bankruptcy works anymore.
They're just.
This is a punitive, it'spunishment, it's over the top,
(13:14):
it's Orwellian and it'sabsolutely disgusting.
And I mean, what could theOnion think to gain from this?
Was anybody?
I mean it's just a domain.
I mean, at this point, you knowAlex can pull his show and go
do the Alex Jones show or theAlex Jones whatever, and the
report, or I mean he couldliterally use, he could start a
(13:35):
new channel, even if they goafter his Twitter channel that's
current, and just reseteverything and get out of this
and you know, not necessarilybeing able to keep the same size
crew, but he will be able to golean and mean, I think, and um,
it just makes you wonder whatthe whole point of this was.
(13:56):
I mean, it's just again they'renot gonna.
What could they recover?
By the way, I've broadcastedmany shows from the info war
studios in Austin and I used toget there sometimes before I
mean right at the same time thesecurity card would show up Like
it was.
You know I was always preparingfor I would be the first person
there to be dark in the studio.
As a matter of fact, I need toin my phone.
(14:18):
I knew somehow on Friday, the13th of November 2020, that
would be my last in-studio show.
I wasn't told that, but I justknew that I wouldn't be back.
I just sometimes get those gutfeelings.
I have a great picture of thestudio being dark, where David
Knight hosted and I'd done many,many shows there.
(14:39):
This is a sad day for freespeech.
It really is a mockery of thejustice system.
You don't have to agree withAlex or anybody from Infowars to
support the Constitution,support the First Amendment and
due process, rule of law.
Yes, this is a strange time andthis makes me reflect on where
(15:06):
I've been in my life and I'mthankful for for InfoWars.
I'm thankful for theopportunity that they need to
text my crew that the key isoutside.
I'm locked the door.
My son, houston, left today.
(15:30):
The studio usually watches thedoor for me, but he's gone and
I'm sitting here thinking I haveto let them know that the key
is outside so they can get in,because they get here early.
I have a great crew, by the way, so let me do that real quick
and then we'll continue thestory.
That's just a little thingabout stream of consciousness
and being my own producer.
(15:50):
Like I can't just wave atsomebody.
And those were the fun times athosting InfoWars.
If you think that doing a showand doing radio live is fun,
wait until you have four peoplerunning a board, somebody
(16:11):
talking in a year, putting clipsup on the screen in real time.
It's like it's like getting offa a, a street bike, you know.
And then somebody lets you getinto a Cadillac, you know, it's
just a completely differentexperience.
And, uh, I'll always be begrateful for my time.
And you know my friends, likeOwen Schroer and Harrison Smith
and Jason Lowe, who got me intoInfoWars in the first place he
(16:31):
used to go by the title MagaTitan, a great guy and just a
good bunch of people, a lot ofmy InfoWars friends.
I wish them well.
This is a strange, strange thingto go through.
But you know, I think on theother end of this you could
build something even better.
Sometimes it's sometimes again,it's a blessing in disguise or
(16:54):
you could get over leveraged,you could be in a position where
it's time for a change, and I'mnot wishing that on anybody.
But did the forces ofcensorship, did they win here?
Does anybody think that this isa win?
Um, all right, text is out so Ican uh rest easy going through
(17:18):
the rest of the show that we'regoing to be okay.
All right, let's, um, let'stransition a little bit.
I do want to get into thecabinet picks, but I want to
talk a little bit of financeBefore we do.
Let's do a little pop culture.
I don't normally do this, butthis brought up just kind of my
warrior mindset, where I am inmy life and things that are
(17:39):
interesting to me, that spark mywheelhouse.
I saw this as a link up ondrudge and, uh, I think we've
just gotten so far away in thiscountry from knowing what the
warrior mentality is, um, whatconstitutes discipline.
And I saw this article and I'mnot won't read the whole thing,
(17:59):
but just to get back to basicshere.
There's here this is the mirrorAgain.
It's a link that was up onDrudge.
There's a fight coming up, asyou know.
Mike Tyson is going to befighting Jake Paul.
I want to just bring this upfor a second as part of again
stream of consciousness.
I thought I'd bring this up.
Mike Tyson has done a terriblejob of hiding uncomfortable
(18:23):
truth about Jake Paul fight.
Now, this is how the headlinegoes If you read a little
further into it.
And, by the way, I've beenfollowing because I love Mike
Tyson and I've been followinghis training and as an old guy
okay now, I used to be a worldchamp and as an old guy, I like
seeing another champion who'sgetting older, who's not going
(18:46):
quietly into the good night Okay, he's not going quietly, he's
training hard, he's stillsetting goals and he's always
been.
You know, since my I thinkabout 30 years old is when I
really found out who, uh, mikeTyson was.
There was a great documentaryby James Toback.
Mike Tyson was.
There was a great documentaryby James Toback.
It's just titled Tyson.
I recommend that to anyone,especially a young man and just
(19:12):
a really interesting human beingand a true profile in courage.
In my opinion, I think he's oneof the greatest fighters of all
time and, uh and especially,the most interesting.
And so they go into thisarticle and what they're just
drawing a conclusion is that umtyson isn't up for anything like
(19:36):
he's.
Um he's done with this.
It says it was supposed to bethe last chance of trash talking
and to put their point across,but as mike tyson and jake paul
met for the final pressconference, the former could
barely have seemed less likely.
He wanted to be there.
Ariel Helawani's attempts toget any answers were met with a
(19:56):
remarkable brief response.
The media had just as littlesuccess, and even when Jake Paul
tried to drag him into exchange, all he got was I'm just ready,
I've said everything I have tosay.
Tyson later added and apre-planned part of the press
conference is hosted by HelawaniTyson said just 21 words, as he
(20:19):
said very little over theremainder of the 45-minute event
.
When he returned to the stageto face off with Paul, he
instantly turned away to leave,before being dragged back for
final photos.
We established that Tyson isready, quote-unquote and firm.
I'm not going to lose, but thatwas about it.
It says whether Tyson is infact truly ready or whether or
(20:43):
not he is going to lose is upfor some substantial debate.
The only thing that does seemclear is that Tyson has very
little interest in selling theevent.
Well, the event's already sold.
I just wanted to this this justbriefly.
We live in an age of soundbites.
Uh, we live in an age of falsetough guys, bravado, narcissism,
(21:06):
over the top, hubris.
Let me tell you somethingdangerous, and I think if I was
to channel, where I would be isI'd be very quiet.
I'd be the same thing If I knewI was ready, if I had trained
hard and this was where I wantedto.
You know, and if you listen tohim and being interviewed, I
(21:30):
wouldn't want to fight this man.
This is not how the bluster,the over-the-top rhetoric, the
overtures, all the stuff thathappens when you get somebody's
ego involved.
(21:51):
You don't see that here andthat's the tell.
So I'm going to watch on the.
I think it's tomorrow, so I'llbe watching.
I'll find a way to watch thefight Because in my opinion,
that's somebody that's verydangerous.
I mean, we have sourceinundated with a bunch of faux
(22:16):
effete, fake tough people.
They're all around, they're onthe Internet, they're commenting
, they're this, they're allaround, they're on the internet,
they're commenting, they'rethis, they're that, and then
when you really get down to thenitty gritty, you know they run,
and so we got to be careful.
It's hard to find what isactually real.
So if I'm reading this, I thinkthat's very authentic.
(22:36):
I'd be the exact same way.
I'd be that way before.
You know, when I went into, youknow, be challenged.
When I was challenged to breakworld records and I knew that
what was on the line, I gotreally quiet Because that's what
I'd be thinking about.
You know it wouldn't.
I wouldn't waste time hypinganything.
(22:59):
Sometimes you can hype up to itand you can talk about what
you're going to do, and then youreach that point and there's a
lesson in that, especially ifyou're a younger man pay
attention to what happens next.
All right, now let's jump intosome.
Let's see we've got oh, we'vegot enough time.
Let's jump into just a littlebit of headlines on.
(23:19):
Of course, this is parapoliticsand precious metals, but a
hodgepodge of a show, ladies andgents, and I'm glad you're
tuned in.
We've got a new timeline forParatroother.
I talked with Mr Anderson, Italked with Chris Graves.
We are setting a new scheduleand I'm going to put this out on
(23:40):
my Twitter feed, out on X We'llmake it official.
But 5 pm Eastern on Sundays,we're going to do Paratroopers
Live and it'll be a little bitof topical, a little bit of deep
dives, and we'll have guestsand sometimes we'll not go live.
I'll do interviews and thingslike that, but it looks like
(24:00):
we're going to do a pair oftruthers live, so set that on
your schedule.
You'll be able to comment andwe'll do that on the america
unplugged channels, over onrockfin, on rumble and, of
course, my ex, and then we'llmaybe even talk about free world
other places we'll get itstreaming.
Uh, that'll be live on sundays,5 pm Eastern.
(24:23):
This is Kitco something I talkedwith David about and we don't
have to go into the entirearticle.
But this is the World GoldCouncil.
It says gold pullback likelytemporary amid rising stocks,
crypto and the dollar.
The gold rally has been on holdsince the re-election of Donald
Trump, with the yellow metalresting support at $2,600 as
(24:46):
traders take profits and rotateinto stocks and cryptos, but
(25:07):
with multiple headwinds stillfacing the global economy
analysts think it's 35 times inthis year are still there buying
gold at a record pace, mainlyall central banks outside of the
West buying gold at a recordpace.
De-dollarization, you know.
(25:28):
Now the US goes into a trilliondollars in debt every 90 days
and possibly more.
It takes a trillion dollarsjust to service the interest on
the debt, which is more than theentire defense budget by about
$300 billion.
Massive folks.
We have massive financialfallout from what's happened
over the last especially andaccelerated the last 10 years.
(25:49):
It's been unprecedented moneyand currency creation and that's
just continuing.
None of these things are off thetable as far as every war is
still available We'll talk aboutcabinet picks in here in a
second Every war is stillavailable.
Everything's still on the table.
So all the things that weredriving gold and again that's
(26:11):
fear, uncertainty, doubt.
You know the FUD.
It's still driving gold, exceptthese little blurps or these
little, you know, again, bendsin the river of time.
They are happening in themarketplace, so you can take
advantage of that.
I think gold's probably goingto dip a little further and I'll
give gold and silver pricesbefore we close out, but this is
(26:32):
part of it.
This is from the World GoldCouncil.
The first week of November sawgold move lower after hitting a
new all-time high on the firstof the month, hitting a new
all-time high on the first ofthe month.
And again, to truly understandwhere we are, I've told this
before, but in 2011,.
Gold hit $1,930 an ounce.
(26:54):
The head of the Federal Reserve, ben Bernanke, came out and
said sorry, we drove this priceup.
We didn't mean to.
We had to bail out these giantfinancial institutions that were
too big to fail.
We didn't mean to.
We had to bail out these giantfinancial institutions that were
too big to fail.
We won't do that again.
Tarp funds and all that.
So gold and silver fell afterthat and there wasn't another
all-time high until 2020, ladiesand gentlemen, so nine years.
(27:17):
And then I was on air when itdid that and it broke another
all-time high, and then it wasdormant again for another two
years up until the invasion ofUkraine by Russia.
And then you fast forward tonow and it's done it 30-some-odd
times.
I don't know the exact number,but it's probably 35 this year.
So something is afoot and allthose things that drive that
(27:40):
price are still there.
Yeah, let's see if there'sanything.
Yeah, the US elections resultshave taken a bit of a knee-jerk
sting out of gold's impressiveyear-to-date rally.
The analyst said Suggestedreasons are continued
strengthening in bond yields andthe US dollar, risk on
(28:02):
sentiment equity markets, aboost in cryptocurrencies and a
quelling of geopoliticaltensions.
And that is true.
But here's the fundamentals.
The fundamentals are and we'regoing to get into cabinet picks
here at the end of the show Ifyou look at policy, personnel as
policy, the United States isstill gearing up for war.
(28:24):
That's why I opened up the showquoting Anthony Swofford from
his memoir Jarhead.
It's something I think of often.
You know your hands, rememberthe rifle.
I look at global tensions andthe goals of the ruling class in
the US and some of them seemjust absolutely schizophrenic.
Trump was again ran as thepeace candidate.
(28:49):
That's what we were supposed tosee.
But I've seen that before inhistory.
Woodrow Wilson ran as the peacecandidate in 1916.
His actual slogan was he keptus out of war and as soon as he
was re-inaugurated on march 4th1917, uh, he took us to war.
That was the first thing he didand he used the lusitania,
(29:09):
which was two years before that.
Um, that wasn't the real reason.
It was, uh, deals that weremade.
You know there was thezimmerman telegram, you know,
from the german consulate to the, to me, mexico, saying that if
they would join the Germanefforts that they would get back
the Southwest when the UnitedStates was defeated, and so on
(29:30):
and so forth.
And that was you really tracethat back?
There's a Rothschilds agent inGermany that got that to happen
because they wanted the US tojoin the war.
And of course, fdr said thesame thing.
You know, running for anunprecedented third term.
No one had ever done that.
And well, I think US Grant did.
I think Ulysses S Grant triedto run for a third or a
(29:52):
nomination, but he didn'tactually get all the way to a
third term, not in a row.
But he said you know he'd seenwar and he hates war and he's
not going to send your boys toanother European war.
That's the first thing he did.
So we have to always beskeptical of what you know.
Personnel is policy All right.
So all the fundamentals stillthere, folks.
(30:14):
Don't forget that.
It reminded me of the movie andthe Independence Day.
You know when they are inHouston, you know, after the
craft is all hovering over themajor cities, they send the
scout out and they're going tomake the decision to use nuclear
weapons.
And they thought they got ridof it.
And it clears, the blast clearsafter they've nuked it, and
(30:35):
then nothing happens.
And they say target remains.
Well, that's what I mean bythis election Great reset
remains, you know, the agendaetremains, the Agenda 2030 remains
.
All the fundamentals are stillthere.
All the bones are still there.
It's up to us to continue toshare information and be aware.
I think it's just takingconsciousness to the next level.
(30:58):
Really is the goal here forpeople understanding where we
are?
Because you get stuck in thesame paradigm, you're going to
get the same things.
All right, let's jump over.
Let's talk about these uhcabinet picks a little bit.
I've already told you aboutjohn rackliff and, of course,
the unknown that's not in here.
(31:20):
Uh, that I could see was theSecretary of Defense pick.
Again, this isn't aboutpolitics.
This is about language.
I want you to pay attention tothe language.
This was an article I pulledfrom antiwarcom.
It says meet the pro-Israelhawks.
(31:42):
Donald Trump has tapped for hisnew administration.
Uh, mondo Weiss is the news andopinion outlet this uh stems
from.
This is Donald Trump is fillinghis incoming administration
with pro-Israeli war hawks.
The moves indicate he willembrace hawkish foreign policy
in the middle East and advanceattacks against organizations
aiming to help Palestinians.
(32:03):
Donald Trump is picking anumber of pro-Israel voices to
join his cabinet.
His selections, some of whichhave officially been made and
others which have only beenreported from inside sources,
solidify the fact that hisadministration will embrace a
hawkish foreign policy in theMiddle East and advance attacks
against organizations aiming tohelp Palestinians.
(32:25):
The first one is Marco Rubio.
I have so many fond memories of2016, and I think one of the
greatest moments in politics andI have to I really have to just
whenever I see this man's name.
You know Rubio's running forpresident in 2015, 2016.
(32:47):
And, of course, he's the pickof the council on foreign
relations and, you know, typicalpro-war.
He's my age, right, and Ialways get weirded out by people
that are my age and they'relike really pro-war, like it's
okay, you didn't go, but if youdidn't go and you could have,
and you aren like really pro-war, like it's okay, you didn't go,
but if you didn't go and youcould have, and you aren't
really pro-war.
Now, it's just, it's just sobizarre to me, there's something
(33:08):
fundamentally, it's just like athorn in my mind.
Whenever I hear that and he'sone of those people.
Uh, I used to say, like youknow, I ran.
I ran towards the battlefieldand rubio ran for office, so
we're two different people.
But this is this is besides thepoint.
He had a bad night with ChrisChristie Does anybody remember
this?
And I don't like Chris Christie, but he did a great job just
(33:31):
breaking Rubio down and I thinkthey were in New Hampshire
debating and the next day hekept repeating himself during
this live debate because he'dmemorized.
That's the one thing about whenyou run for office If you
really know what you believe,it's fun.
Like you never like I love,like a lot of politicians and
I'm not a politician, but a lotof the people that run for
(33:51):
office they hate question timeand I absolutely loved it.
I love question time.
That's like you know, brerRabbit, don't throw me in the
briar patch Like.
That's the most, that's thebest part of it, because if you
believe something, then you onlyjust you want to talk about it,
you know.
So I would find that to be thebest time, but Rubio obviously
not.
(34:11):
And he scripted and had, youknow, focus groups and
everything.
He's really contorted and he'strying to remember what his
lines are, but he keepsrepeating himself and somebody
did the hashtag robot Rubio andthe next day, somebody dressed
up as a 1950s robot and followedhim around a schoolhouse in New
(34:36):
Hampshire and it was one of thefunniest things.
Whoever did that, that iscomedic.
They were silent and it wasjust like beep.
And follow him around like beep, or and follow him around like
he's the fellow robot.
That, to me, one of thegreatest moments in politics.
Uh, I've never forgotten it.
And you can also look up thingslike marco, marco rubio phone
party, I don't know.
There's other things that, uh,it's just a, you know, an
(34:58):
interesting time to be alive.
But he's the secretary of statecoming up.
Trump will pick Marco Rubio andyou can know where his foreign
policy is.
Okay, I mean, it's not as badas Lindsey Graham's, which is
basically, we got to killeverybody or they're going to
kill us.
I mean, you ever heard this guy?
(35:19):
Lindsey Graham is precious.
He's scared about everything,everything, even himself.
Um, he's, he's just so.
I just picture him, you know,sitting in a dark room sipping
chardonnay, just scared ofeverything that's out there.
You know everything.
He's just really, really afraid.
Um, but again, you can go backand look at things that Rubio
(35:47):
has written.
He says after returning from atrip to the country in the
spring.
He penned into this Israel.
He penned a national reviewop-ed, declaring that in the end
, no matter what theinternational community says,
israel has a right to defenditself and the United States
must support its effort todestroy Hamas as a terrorist
threat.
Well, israel certainly has theright to exist and defend itself
(36:14):
and it also needs to be smartenough not to put Hamas in power
.
And if you will just take fiveminutes and actually look that
up, that would help somebody whoneeds a little bit of nuance,
like they did that.
They funded it.
It's kind of like what Al Qaedais Like.
If you want to find out whatthe origin of Al Qaeda is, it
doesn't mean the base.
To find out what the origin ofal-Qaeda is, it doesn't mean the
(36:35):
base, it means the database.
It comes from 1979 when theCentral Intelligence Agency took
over the database from theMuslim Brotherhood and the
British that had controlled itto fight the Soviet Empire in
Afghanistan.
They collected the names of thefighters.
That's where that comes from.
It's the data base, not thebase.
And that's where you get peoplelike, uh, tim osmond's, where
(36:59):
you get some bin laden and hewas visiting the pentagon, uh.
So you know it's easy towhitewash history.
And and then you, you know youcan create an enemy and then
fight the enemy.
A lot of that's how this isdone.
If you've ever read a wallstreet, the Bolshevik Revolution
or Wall Street and the rise ofHitler by Anthony Sutton, you
(37:20):
realize that sometimes enemiesare created.
Sometimes, you know, history isnot just bumbling, it's so
silly.
Like court historians are like,well, there's just peace and
prosperity.
And then there's a dictator youknow like, and then there's
this, and then there's a rise ofsomething that's a threat, okay
, and it just comes out ofnowhere.
Like nobody backs it.
(37:40):
Like you know, where did theyget the bolshevik revolution
from?
You know, oh, they just someguys.
They picked up power.
It was just lying in the street.
No, that's not how any of thatworks.
Then Mike Waltz, NationalSecurity Advisor Waltz is
(38:01):
primarily known for being one ofthe house's biggest China hawks
, but he's also a fierceadvocate for Israel.
The China hawk stuff.
Do you know that really justcame on into the zeitgeist, into
the forefront in the last fiveyears?
I mean for those administrationin 2001, 90 days after 9-11,
(38:40):
gave China most favored tradingstatus.
So and actually that's theanniversary when Hitler declared
war on the United States in1941.
That's besides the point, butthat's what George W Bush did.
And right after that we lost55,000 factories.
One in three manufacturing jobsdisappeared and the Bush
administration tried to makefast food workers into
(39:02):
manufacturing because they builtsandwiches.
I'm not kidding, because thenumbers were so bad.
We literally lost what was leftof America's heartland and its
production from that.
So they used to to.
So this is me telling you redflags okay, whenever.
And they've changed policy onchina.
And in january 1st 1979, zignubrzezinski, in a memo for jimmy
(39:26):
carter as his national securityadvisor, drafted a one China
policy memorandum where we brokediplomatic ties with Taipei,
which is Taiwan.
We in favor of going directwith China, not recognizing
Taiwan.
So we've reversed that now andwe built them up.
(39:49):
We gave, gave away through freetrade policies and other
globalist agendas.
We gave away the manufacturingability of the united states to
china to build it up.
So you got to ask yourself why.
So now you have china hawks.
John ratcliffe's a china hawk.
He thinks that they're buildingum, super soldiers and um, I
(40:14):
don't know you would cyborgs orsomething.
It's almost science fiction.
They could very well be.
They're a totalitarian regimeand Justin Trudeau loves them.
So it's kind of like, do youlove them?
The establishment, what arethey?
I'm just skeptical on anythingwith china hawk policies because
(40:36):
we gave them everything.
I mean, it's not china's fault,you?
You look at uh the clintonswith uh bags of cash china in
the 90s.
You know like giving them ohthe, and then we give stuff to
the israelis.
You could look this up.
We give a lot of like secretmissile technology to the
Israelis and they sold them tothe Chinese.
So you're pro-Israel and aChina hawk.
(41:00):
I want to talk to your buddyabout not selling the Chinese
missile secrets.
You know stuff like that.
Then you have Mike Huckabee.
He's probably not a bad guy andhe has been selected as Trump's
ambassador to Israel.
He's an evangelical pastor andthis is interesting.
(41:23):
I grew up you know my viewsaren't ever were this, but I
grew up in the same kind ofthought.
I am a follower of Jesus.
In the same kind of thought Iam a follower of Jesus.
I find myself kind ofconflicted, and especially in
the modern church, especiallywhen I came back from Iraq and
you get kind of these talkingpoints from a lot of
(41:44):
evangelicals that are, you knowthe United States really only
exists to support Israel.
Some of my family members thinkthat I don't follow that line.
I don't find anything.
I mean I don't follow that line, I don't find anything.
I mean I read the Bible everyday.
I don't find that in there.
So that's not my wheelhouse,that's not what I want, but
that's certainly something thatsomebody that's like Mike
(42:04):
Huckabee would espouse, which isstrange.
So you're going to be ambassadorto this country.
You believe that is almost likethe raise on debt, like the
reason the United States exists.
That's what they believe.
I don't know, and a lot ofpeople listening to the show
might.
And that's your thing, that'sfine.
You can have as many of yourown opinions.
(42:25):
We certainly won't criticizeyou.
But I do have an issue with ifyou look at the totality here of
what's being set up and it'snot just about israel folks,
it's about iran and the goals ofthe neocons, the goals of the
military industrial complex.
Did you ever see?
(42:45):
Uh?
Oliver stone did a movie calledw, and it's where he he depicts
uh Cheney.
Right, cheney is, uh is thevice president.
He's showing a big map and heshows all the bases.
You know that the U?
S is putting together.
This is post nine, 11.
And then, of course, postinvasion of Iraq.
(43:07):
And then it's this big mass,big mass, you know, and it says
Iran.
And it really is like he turnsand he says you know, they ask
him what's the exit strategy?
He says there is no exitstrategy, we stay.
(43:29):
So Iran, for the complexitieshere, it's not just that it
threatens Israel, it's that it'snatural resource rich, it's
also an asset in the column ofRussia.
If you don't know your history,you've got to look at your
(43:50):
geography.
But that's a go-to, like that'sYalta, you know, I've mentioned
this before.
Like the deciding meetingbetween Stalin, churchill and
FDR was in Yalta.
It's Iran.
And of course that was becauseof they met there, because of
Stalin.
You have to remember.
(44:10):
These aren't just one-sidedthings, like you see.
Well, we have to support Israel, so we're against Iran.
It's a multifaceted thing andthat's why I'm looking at these
cabinet picks and it certainlyseems that we are preparing for
something.
(44:36):
And then there's Elise Stefanik,ambassador to the United
Nations.
She's a congresswoman from NewYork.
As ambassador to the UnitedNations, an organization that
the House member has attackedfor its alleged anti-Israel bias
, stefanik celebrated Israel'sdecision to ban UNRWA, which she
(44:57):
claims instills anti-Semitichate in Palestinians.
I would have preferred her justbeing anti-UN.
There's a bill to get us out ofthe UN.
That's what I'm looking for.
I'm looking to more Americansovereignty, absolute American
sovereignty.
That's what I'm looking for.
Get out of the UN.
There's a bill to exit the UN.
(45:21):
Most Congress people don'tco-sponsor.
Why do you think that is soagain, common theme here.
You got to see you know thepersonnel is policy folks.
There's Christie Gnome.
She's going to head up this, uh, the department of homeland
security.
Uh, trump is expected tonominate south dakota governor
(45:44):
christy gnome as secretary ofdepartment of homeland security.
Doubts about the future ofgnome's political career
developed early this year whenshe realized she had once killed
her own dog and was found tohave lied about meeting Kim
Jong-un.
That's a pretty big lie.
It's kind of hard to pull off,don't you think?
Early this year, noe signed abill asserting that the
(46:06):
controversial InternationalHolocaust Remembrance Alliance,
ihra's working definition ofanti-Semitism must be taken into
account during investigationsinto discriminatory practices.
Well, it's hard to know.
(46:26):
I forgot about that.
I forgot about the.
I met Kim Jong-un.
I remembered about her dog, butI'd forgotten that she'd
claimed that that's a big one.
You know used to, you didn'trecover from stuff like that in
politics, and now we just do.
You know, ever since Trump, hejust did this off the cuff.
(46:49):
It was one of the mostentertaining things I'd ever
seen in politics when he just uh, he was.
This is back candidate Trumprunning in 2015.
And he just says about JohnMcCain and John McCain's
criticism of him and he says Iprefer people that weren't
captured and I remember watchingthat going.
Well, uh, that's pretty funnyand as a I'm a vet and I'm
(47:12):
laughing at this and I'm like Idon't know what happens next and
nothing did and that's, that'sjust because the country got so
bad off, folks.
I mean, we're just, we're notin the mood, like you, it's hard
to get canceled anymore.
Really, I mean, they justbecome so over the top.
So interesting times, folks.
And then, you know, thesecretary of defense pick.
(47:36):
This is interesting, um, and Ithink a lot of things remain to
be seen.
He's my age, uh, pete hegsethand he's going to be secretary
of defense.
Looks like, you know, he's aFox news contributor.
He's a veteran, but not like me.
I don't think we share the same.
(47:58):
I'm see, I'm not an approvedveteran.
That's the thing is like.
When I went into radio, theythought I was one thing and they
thought they were going to getsomething that they didn't get.
And I always just made a mad.
You know it's, it's been aproblem of mine.
They always think they're goingto get something and then again
I I pull out things like well,you know, I'm a, I'm anti-war,
(48:19):
what.
Like I didn't support theincursion into Syria.
I was right, you know, it wouldhave been a disaster.
I mean, lindsey Graham at thetime was like we got to get
200,000 troops in there.
They're gonna kill us all.
I remember him saying that Iliterally he said that because
he was running for president.
Well, it was.
That was two years after, butthe same time frame, and he was
(48:40):
saying, when I was saying thatwe got to get out of syria, we
can't go in there, I wasn't likevery much.
And that's when they found outlike oh, tony doesn't want more
middle eastern wars, like nope,none, there's, no, there's no
vital national security interestin the middle East.
If you actually boil it down,there's nothing.
I live there, I know.
(49:02):
I mean you can just buy oilfrom whoever owns it.
Uh, that seems fine to me.
It's not worth thousands ortens of thousands of American
lives or casualties, ortrillions in blood and treasure.
Is it worth it?
For what?
So the Iraqi parliament can banthe US dollar.
Did neocons have any?
(49:23):
I think it was Russell Kirk whotalked about the conservative
thinker.
He said that theneoconservatives were often
clever, never wise.
We shall know them by theirfruits.
It's just war, death.
And even Trump said that whenhe was president.
(49:44):
It's nothing but sand and death.
And I'm going to learn moreabout this Secretary of Defense
pick, but I've seen some of hisclips on Fox.
And again, pro vet, but I'm provet in a way that I want.
I don't want to make more ofthem when it's unnecessary and
there's nothing on the globalstage that we need to be
(50:05):
involved in.
Iran can't project power.
It doesn't have an air forcecapable of delivering anything
here.
It doesn't have an army capable, unless we just let them walk
over the Southern border, whichI guess we could do.
They have no way of projectingpower except the weapon of the
week, which is terror, andeverybody has that.
But again, you have to thinkrationally, unlike general
(50:29):
Millie who said that the Jsixers almost overthrew
democracy because they went intoa building.
I don't know what war collegehe went to, but there's no power
in a building.
If that was the case, then whydidn't they send me to the
government buildings when weinvaded Iraq and I could have
just said hooray and plant theflag and there's peace.
There's no power in a building,folks, power comes from who
(50:53):
controls the weaponry?
Who controls the energy?
Who controls the supplies?
Who controls the military?
That's where power comes from.
It's not in a building.
But they'll confuse you withstuff like that.
All right, we are going to closeout.
I appreciate everybody fortuning in today.
I just ran out of runway herewith the shows, but be sure and
(51:15):
