Introduction

In this episode of Redacted News, hosts Clayton Morris and Natalie Morris delve into a series of critical and underreported global events. From escalating tensions between NATO, Ukraine, and Russia to significant political maneuvers in Europe, the hosts aim to shed light on stories overshadowed by mainstream media narratives.

---

1. High Alert Status in Ukraine and Russia’s Nuclear Infrastructure Attacks

[01:05 – 07:18]

Clayton Morris opens the discussion by highlighting the escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia. He notes the widespread activation of air raid sirens across Ukraine, indicating the imminent threat of Russian long-range weapon attacks. The focal point is the recent bombing of the Kerch Bridge in Crimea, reportedly executed by Ukraine and NATO.

• Quote:
  “What's happening is that NATO and Ukraine are escalating their attacks on Russia's critical infrastructure, specifically targeting the Kerch Bridge.” — Clayton Morris [05:26]

The hosts question the official narrative suggesting that the Trump administration was unaware of these attacks. They point to the presence of Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal in Ukraine shortly before the attacks, raising suspicions about prior knowledge and involvement.

• Quote:
  “Did President Trump know about the attacks on Russia's nuclear infrastructure over the weekend? The official narrative is that they didn't know, but did they?” — Clayton Morris [01:05]

---

2. Political Maneuvering: Senators Graham and Blumenthal

[05:26 – 12:05]

A significant portion of the episode scrutinizes the roles of Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal. Clayton Morris highlights their recent visit to Ukraine, which doubled the typical hotel bill to an astonishing $400,000, suggesting potential conflicts of interest and undisclosed agendas.

• Quote:
  “Lindsey Graham makes a boatload of money from the defense industry, pushing this war agenda forward.” — Clayton Morris [09:19]

Natalie Morris raises concerns about the integrity of these senators, questioning their allegiance and the true motives behind their staunch support for sanctions against Russia.

• Quote:
  “Lindsey Graham doesn't speak on behalf of the President; he's working behind the scenes with neocons to escalate this conflict.” — Clayton Morris [07:03]

---

3. Russia’s Internal Response and Geopolitical Analysis

[16:20 – 31:10]

To provide an insider perspective, the show invites Ralph Schoellhammer, a geopolitical analyst based in Moscow. Ralph discusses the Russian populace's sentiment towards the ongoing attacks and the government's strategy to maintain public morale amidst increasing hostilities.

• Quote:
  “Russians are somber and determined, not wanting to escalate to nuclear warfare but feeling provoked by continuous aggression.” — Ralph Schoellhammer [17:17]

Ralph emphasizes that Russia perceives NATO’s actions as direct threats to their sovereignty, fostering a defiant stance against further Western interference.

---

4. Iran Nuclear Deal and Neocons' Influence

[31:10 – 39:49]

Clayton and Natalie shift focus to the Iran nuclear deal, questioning its viability amidst rising tensions. They argue that neocons are undermining diplomatic efforts to prevent war, pushing for aggressive policies against Iran despite ongoing negotiations.

• Quote:
  “Neocons like Mark Levin want us to bomb Iran, disregarding the potential for a peaceful resolution.” — Natalie Morris [38:35]

The hosts critique the inconsistency in U.S. policies, pointing out the selective aggression towards Iran while other nuclear-armed nations like China and Israel face less scrutiny.

---

5. Collapse of the Dutch Government Amid Immigration Struggles

[39:49 – 51:47]

The episode covers the recent collapse of the Netherlands government due to failed immigration policies. Geert Wilders’ inability to implement his "remigration" agenda led to political instability, highlighting the challenges European countries face in managing immigration.

• Quote:
  “Geert Wilders’ strategic withdrawal from the government was a necessary move to preserve his party’s core objectives.” — Ralph Schoellhammer [41:35]

Tara Reid discusses the broader European trend towards right-wing politics, emphasizing the difficulty in achieving significant policy changes within coalition governments.

---

6. Hate Crime Legislation and the Matthew Shepard Controversy

[54:22 – 71:46]

A critical segment addresses the origins and implications of hate crime laws in the United States, tracing them back to the tragic death of Matthew Shepard. The hosts argue that the narrative surrounding Shepard's death has been manipulated to justify expanded government powers, linking it to contemporary legal cases such as the Boulder Firebombing.

• Quote:
  “Hate crime laws are based on a manipulated narrative that weaponized our grief, expanding government powers under false pretenses.” — Natalie Morris [54:52]

Clayton Morris reinforces this assertion by connecting historical events to modern-day prosecutions, advocating for equal justice without additional legal categorizations based on perceived motivations.

• Quote:
  “Murder is murder; we don't need additional layers of hate crime legislation to punish someone’s actions.” — Clayton Morris [63:20]

---

7. Italy’s Volcanic Alert: Beyond Mount Etna

[71:46 – 81:58]

In a shift to natural disasters, the hosts discuss the recent eruption of Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano. However, they caution that the real threat lies in the Campi Flegrei area near Naples, which is home to 24 active volcanoes showing signs of potential catastrophic eruptions.

• Quote:
  “Campi Flegrei is a 15-kilometer wide depression ready to explode, posing a massive threat to southern Italy and beyond.” — Clayton Morris [79:31]

They reference historical events like the Year Without a Summer caused by volcanic eruptions, highlighting the global ramifications of a large-scale eruption in Italy.

• Quote:
  “A supervolcano eruption in Campi Flegrei could trigger widespread famine and environmental disasters worldwide.” — Natalie Morris [80:07]

---

Conclusion

Clayton and Natalie Morris conclude the episode by emphasizing the importance of staying informed about these critical issues. They encourage listeners to join their free newsletter for updates and to remain vigilant against media-driven falsehoods and political agendas.

• Quote:
  “Our mission is to save the truth, preserve information, and fight propaganda. Stay informed and stay safe.” — Natalie Morris [82:15]

[Clayton Morris]

Welcome, everyone, to redacted on this Tuesday. I'm Clayton Morris.

[Natalie Morris]

I'm Natalie Morris.

[Clayton Morris]

Busy show for you on this Tuesday. Covering the stories the mainstream media largely ignoring, which is the massive high alert status right now for Russia and Ukraine. Air raid sirens, of course, blaring all over Ukraine. Not a square inch of that country, not under a warning. And did President Trump know about the attacks on Russia's nuclear infrastructure over the weekend? The official narrative is that, oh, they didn't know about this. Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Blumenthal in Ukraine ahead of these attacks. And suddenly this seemed like it was shock. It came as, like, shocking news to the Trump administration. But actually, did they know? We're going to talk about all of that in moments here on the show.

[Natalie Morris]

Plus, President Trump seems to be backtracking on a deal with Iran. And it also seems that the neocons are winning at selling us this war. Is a war with Iran inevitable based on lies? It seems like that may be coming. We've been tracking the lies. They're like this. That's how it is. But we're gonna tell you at least what's happening.

[Clayton Morris]

Do that again.

[Natalie Morris]

They're like this. That's what you're gonna send your kids to war for.

[Clayton Morris]

Can I get it in a chart? Yeah. Can we make a GIF out of that? Can somebody please make a GIF out of that and then post that to Twitter? For us, please. Also, we're gonna talk about Italy on the show today. And yes, Mount Etna explod the weekend, but the real story has nothing to do with Mount Etna. We've been covering this for over a year here on the show that Italy is about to explode. Over 24 volcanoes bubbling to the surface. The government is really lying about it and not warning its citizens about getting out of Southern Italy. So we're going to look at all of that and more as Redacted kicks off on this Tuesday. So good to see everyone. Thank you guys.

[Natalie Morris]

Plus, I want to really ask you to stay around for the other story we told you about in that rundown is that the hate crime laws that are being used to prosecute, prosecute the Boulder Firebomber are based on a lie sold to you over 20 years ago on the gay pride movement shoulders of Matthew Shepard. I've been waiting a long time to tell you this story. I'm going to connect those things. I really want you to be here for it. So please stick around for that.

[Clayton Morris]

I'm telling you it is a game changer. Well, this is a DEFCON moment for Ukraine. Air raid sirens blasting all over the country of Ukraine at this moment warning of potential attack from Russia launching long range weapons in. So you see these areas here in the red, that's the areas that are currently under air raid sirens in Ukraine.

[Natalie Morris]

So everywhere. So everywhere, that's all of Ukraine in case you don't know the map.

[Clayton Morris]

So that means nothing is off the table for Russia at this moment. This comes after Ukraine and NATO launched another attack on the Kirch Bridge in Crimea, leaving it in critical condition of collapse. And they did it this time underwater. Here you can see the explosion under the pylons there. According to reports, Ukraine's Secret service along with NATO coordination blew up the Crimean Bridge. The operation took months of planning, just like the drone strike over the weekend. Underwater supports were badly damaged at the base of the bridge. You can see here, this was the previous attack on the Kirsch Bridge. The bridge is now in critical condition, undriveable. NATO leader Mark Rutte says Ukraine will now join NATO. There's an irreversible path for Ukraine to join NATO, he says, which is Putin's red line, of course. Listen.

[Natalie Morris]

Well, you know that when it comes.

[Commercial Announcer]

To Ukraine in Washington, there was a clear commitment by all 32 allies that.

[Tara Reid]

There is an irreversible path for Ukraine to come into NATO. Not with an end date, not understanding.

[Commercial Announcer]

This as part of a peace settlement.

[Clayton Morris]

But clearly as a longer term commitment.

[Commercial Announcer]

By all 32 allies.

[Clayton Morris]

And we are building that bridge as we speak with the command in Wiesbade.

[Commercial Announcer]

With the in Poland jtech which is.

[Clayton Morris]

Capturing all the lessons and of course.

[Tara Reid]

All the other cooperation ongoing between NATO countries and Ukraine.

[Clayton Morris]

Thank you so much.

[Natalie Morris]

So based on a lie, given that Ukraine could not have executed the attacks it has over the last Few days without the weapons and intelligence from NATO. So it's pretending that Ukraine's not already in the guest room, so to speak.

[Clayton Morris]

Right. And also, some people say some parts of the bridge open. Of course, you remember how many months it took to secure and make sure that that bridge would be reopened. But again, these attacks that have been happening over the past few days, obviously being promulgated by neocons. You have Lindsey Graham, you have Senator Blumenthal, who just arrived, who were there in Kiev over the past few days. You can see, by the way, I don't know if you saw the hotel bill from Lindsey Graham over $400,000 for his visit on June 1st. Isn't that unbelievable? And by the way, Lindsey Graham. So $400,000 for him to go to Ukraine and his hotel bill. $400,000. And don't worry, though, who approved it? He did. So he approved his. So he got approval from himself for the hotel bill so that they can meet with Zelensky, reiterate, once again, doubling down on this idea that we are done negotiating with Putin. We've got to employ massive sanctions on Putin. That's why they were there to push these new massive sanctions bill. President Trump was asked over the weekend, do you support Lindsey Graham's sanctions bill? Trump's like, I haven't seen it yet. I'm gonna look at it. You haven't seen it yet. You do not support sanctions against Russia. You've been openly communicative about that. On top of that, sanctions haven't worked against Russia. They've been devastating for the West. They haven't worked at all inside of Russia. So now, what else. What else are we gonna add into this mix? Massive amounts of sanctions and also against China in this mix.

[Natalie Morris]

Now, look, I don't wish violence on anybody, but is it okay to wish that Lindsey Graham gets bedbugs from his travel? You can't die from that. Right?

[Clayton Morris]

That guy is a creep. That guy is an absolute of the worst order. Yeah. And by the way, as I pointed out in the weekend, over the weekend in my video, you know, Lindsey Graham makes a boatload of money from the defense industry, a lot of money from the defense contractors, of course, who, you know, absolutely want him to keep pushing this. Pushing this war.

[Natalie Morris]

But who is he speaking on behalf of? Who is he representing? Because we have a president, defense contractor, we have a vice president. He's going. He only represents one state. And so on whose authority does he sign off on aggression when we have the Trump administration behind, you know, otherwise, working on Peace deals. Supposedly working on that in Istanbul this week. So why do we have these mixed messages? Another important question is why does Russia tolerate this? Because they are obviously getting two messages as well. It's on the one hand, we're going to peace deal. We want peace. We're leading you both to peace. And on the other hand, it's, well, Ukraine is using our weapons to attack you. So how would the Russians even. Wouldn't there be. If you would think, if you're a Russian, wouldn't there be a growing movement inside Russia to please, let's stop believing these jokers? We can't believe the United States, we can't believe Ukraine. There's no real peace agreement on the table, right?

[Clayton Morris]

No, there's no peace agreement at all. And of course, this was on the eve of these peace talks. This was on the eve of those peace talks. And of course, we don't actually have any information on that as to whether or not this is gonna come together. Again, Lindsey Graham doesn't speak on behalf of the President of the United States. He's there and he's in Ukraine working nefariously behind the scenes. Steve Bannon today said that he needs to be arrested. Put out an arrest warrant for Lindsey Graham, get him off the streets. Ron Paul, as a former member of Congress, wondering how in the world Senator Graham was able to go there, sort of around the backs of President Trump and any negotiators, Steve Witkoff and others who are actually actively pushing for peace. So again, we'll be continuing to watch this story as it develops over the coming days. And it's unbelievable. We're also hearing from sources that there are reports, in fact, that President Trump did in fact know about what was coming. We don't have confirmation on that yet, but we're trying to get to the bottom of this because I think they're playing this sort of like good cop, bad cop thing right now. That sort of neocons have been doing all of this nefarious work and that the Trump administration has been completely in the dark. They didn't know this large scale, multi month, 18 month drone attack on Russia's nuclear infrastructure was coming. Really, you kept President Trump and his entire administration in the dark. You have CIA offices all over Ukraine and NATO coordinated this attack. We know from multiple sources that there's no way that Ukraine carried out this attack without NATO participation, intelligence and telemetry. Absolutely zero chance. Trump administration didn't know at all.

[Natalie Morris]

Well, I mean, so we are supposed to believe that after Trump and Zelensky had that falling out in the Oval Office. The Trump administration cut Ukraine off from their intelligence, and Ukraine could not fire a single bullet with any kind of accuracy. But now the Trump administration didn't know, and Ukraine was able to carry out this massive PR win on their behalf, that they somehow knew where all of Russia's bombers were. They knew how to get past Russia's security. They knew how to execute this on their own. That's very hard to believe, is it not?

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. Michael Gilt in our chat and our YouTube chat says, I'm very disappointed in Trump's global gang right now. Yeah. And of course, you'll recall Lindsey Grant, you'll recall Senator McCain, who was there at the time, right in the middle of the Maidan Square, like, filming the coup that was unfolding right before their eyes. So they're all celebrating all of this. So we're gonna have more on this story coming up here.

[Natalie Morris]

When we watch a little piece of it, though, unless you think this has nothing to do with. It does. And in fact, soldiers are now in Germany taking over the training of Ukrainians at the army base in Germany. Its soldiers from the. I can give you the. The 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment of the Tennessee Army National Guard replaced the brigade from Pennsylvania. Yes, our soldiers are in harm's way. Absolutely they are, because they are training Ukrainian soldiers to do this. So do not fool yourself to think that this is at arm's length from us. It is not.

[Clayton Morris]

Coming up, we're gonna talk about the Iran nuclear deal, deal or no deal. Right now, it seems like it's a big win for the United States. But once again, neocons involved in the backside of this whole thing trying to scuttle this deal. You have Israel shills like Mark Levin and others who are actively pushing for us to go to war with Iran. But what if we can get a deal where no one dies? Wouldn't that be a huge win for the United States? Oh, no, not if you're one of these Israel shills like Ben Shapiro or Mark Levin who actively want us to bomb Iran off the map. But we're gonna talk about that coming up in just a moment. And we're also gonna talk about the Netherlands collapsing under the weight of illegal immigration. All of that and more.

[Clayton Morris]

So how are Russians responding to this latest round of attacks inside of Russia? Attacks inside of Moscow, Attacks all over Russia, hitting nuclear infrastructure, striking the Crimean bridge on the eve of peace talks? Well, we thought we'd ask American journalist and author and former Senate aide Tara Reid is an RT contributor and lives inside of Moscow and joins us now from Russia to talk about how this is being perceived inside of Russia. Tara, great to see you. Welcome back to the show.

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

It's wonderful to see both of you and this is a really unusual time in history. I mean as a geopolitical analyst I was making predictions of peace by Easter. I was thinking that we were we're all moving in that direction. And then here we are having this conversation when many people are saying we're on the brink of World War Three. It's shocking.

[Clayton Morris]

The narrative from Washington, D.C. or at least we're hearing, is that President Trump, Pete Hegseth and others were totally in the dark, didn't know anything about what was unfolding. We understand it took 18 months of planning to carry out this large scale drone attack against these, these nuclear bombers. The Crimean Bridge apparently took months of planning to attack overnight, President Trump and the Defense Secretary, completely in the dark. But I think you're hearing something different. What have you learned?

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

Well, I've been hearing from a couple of different people, Clayton, and I really am not wanting to spread rumors out of school, if you will, but these are reliable former intelligence and people that worked in different former administrations, presidential administrations for the DoD. They're saying that actually Pete Hexworth was with his staff watching this real time. Now, this could be a planted rumor to make Donald Trump look bad. And at this point, I wouldn't take any scenario off the table because there seems to be a real push from the neocons, particularly Lindsey Graham and others, to really put a wrench in any kind of peace talks and getting us there.

[Natalie Morris]

Now, if you were Russian, let's put ourselves in these shoes that American shores are under attack, our military bases are under attack. With a country that keeps telling us that they will agree to peace talks. How would we feel if our leaders said, no, no, we think that they're gonna go to peace talks, it's gonna be okay. But then American citizens were actually being killed in these attacks on bridges, on civilian infrastructure, and on our military bases. So I know how I would feel. How do Russians perceive this?

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

You know, Russians, it's interesting because living here in Moscow, we are hearing that there have been many in the middle of the night, up to 300 drones, right, swarming, but being shot out of the sky before they hit Moscow, south of Moscow. The most recent one was like an hour from where, you know, the center of Moscow. And they were all, you know, they have very strong defense systems. You were mentioning, you know, the nuclear hangar where these planes were and you know, the equivalent of Montana, that would be. Yeah, like Montana or South Dakota being attacked. I mean, and they say that this operation, operation Spiderweb was 18 months in the making. Now, the Trump administration is denying knowledge. Obviously, if this started 18 months ago is preceded that administration. But somebody had to know because, like, how do you do the communications, the satellite they're using, Starlin, which is Elon Musk's company to communicate in Ukraine. So, yeah, and how Russians are feeling is, you know, very upset. There was a bridge that now we believe at the same night, the same night that you're hearing of all these other bombings, and in. On this bridge, a train was derailed, and it was all civilians, including children, and seven people died and even more are injured. And that was believed to be a Ukrainian terrorist attack. And what the Ukrainians have been doing is attacking civilian infrastructure, which is really horrible, as well as, you know, of course, the military structure. So Russians are upset. You had a lot of Russian people join the Russian military. And the fact is Russia is winning this war, and they're out maneuvering the Ukrainians 20 to 1. So for every one Russian that dies, there's 20 more to replace them, so to speak. Whereas on the Ukrainian side, that's simply not the case. They're actually having to drag people off the street to constrict them. So the mood was pretty hopeful. When Trump came into office with the Russian people, there were people waving, you know, maga, wearing MAGA hats and being, you know, because they were thinking that maybe this. This would be over, this proxy war that the US And NATO are fighting against Russia. Russophobia would stop, things would normalize. But unfortunately, it seems they're escalating. So there's a quietness. You know, like, you'll notice there's a quietness in Moscow right now, and. And people are very somber because, you know, it's sad. Russia does not want war. They want peace. But they did get provoked into this position because of that coup that happened in 2014 in Kyiv, and then NATO and the US pushing the border up against Russia. And if this was happening in the U.S. the U.S. would be responding the same way they would have to protect their sovereign nation.

[Clayton Morris]

Well, I think it's worth pointing out that June 2nd. So yesterday, June 2nd and 11 years ago is the anniversary of when Ukraine launched their first attacks against Ukraine, launched their first attacks in eastern Ukraine and hit Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and ethnic Russians and ethnic Russian forces. So 11 years ago, this, you know, as we point out, this didn't start just a few years ago. This goes back to. Back to the couple. And so now we're sitting on the precipice of maybe Ukraine joining NATO, according to Mark Ruta today, saying that it's an irreversible path that Ukraine will join NATO. I mean, when you talk to Russians in Moscow, I mean, are they. Are they. Are they emboldened? Are they pissed that these attacks keep happening.

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

I think they're determined this will, you know, see through. They're trying to denazify because as you've, you know, brought up in many of your good reporting in the show, there are Nazis in Ukraine. And what you just pointed out about 11 years ago. Yeah, there were in eastern Donbas, which is the eastern part of Ukraine. You had 14,000 people die in eight years. Civilians, many of them children. And it took eight years before President Putin finally decided to do this special military operation and try to protect the people of Donbas. Now, they've all voted to be with Russia. Russia, But Kiev Zelinsky has outlawed the Russian language, has jailed political opposition, refused to have elections. So he's now the illegitimate president because there hasn't been an election. He's giving the excuse that it's wartime, but it's wearing thin. And then there's been a lot of war crimes as far as human trafficking, Oregon and then, of course, the bio labs. Remember, everyone seems to have forgotten about the bio labs that were US Sponsored. And Victoria Nuland admitted that in Congress.

[Natalie Morris]

Right, right. And so I have to imagine that Russians and how I'm feeling, we have a lot in common because we believed that President Trump was acting in good faith to end the war in the same way we believe that Putin is acting in good faith to end the war. But now we have civilian deaths on Russian shores. And so it feels like, I mean, you don't wanna go nuclear. Right, because we're a peaceful show, but it's hard to not be like, nuke this to end it. Right. And so we have this frustration, this shared frustration. And I do not want that. I do not want anyone.

[Clayton Morris]

This is a surprising turn of events, right?

[Natalie Morris]

No, it's hard to not feel that way. That's not how I feel.

[Clayton Morris]

Well, I was asking that about the Russians, like how, I mean, they keep getting attacked, they keep being attacked. I mean, how much patience do they have for this?

[Natalie Morris]

Both of us? This is what I'm saying, is that our patience on both sides with President Trump and President Putin has to be wearing thin. There's no other option for us as the populace of those leaders.

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

You make a good point. And you're bringing up the nuclear doctrine that President Putin just amended in 2024. So that's just last year. And part of that amendment was recognizing that any non nuclear state that's being supported by a nuclear state could give a cause for a response, a nuclear response. So legally, because of what happened in that hangar, whether, you know, there were four planes. Ukraine claims there was 40, but Russia says there were four planes that were bombed, essentially. And what are we doing bombing these planes and hangars anyway? How dangerous is that? But it does trigger that nuclear doctrine if President Putin shows to use it. Now, you know, President Putin is very level headed. He's very calm. He's going to do what's best for the Russian people. He's, you know, and you have Starmer, you know, in, in England and UK who's claiming that they want, they're ready for war or whatever, which they're not. They don't have an, an army that could properly even stand up to Russia. Russia has a huge.

[Natalie Morris]

No, they couldn't even beat the. Like, no, no, stop it.

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

Yeah, so this is, you know, but I wanted to bring up Lindsey Graham because a day before these bombings happened and there were several. There was the bridge the same day as the hangar, as, you know, as I woke up in the middle of the night to reports that there was like 300 drones that were shot down that were coming towards Moscow. You know, things like that. So, you know, these are very serious times. Right. Well, guess who was here two days, 48 hours before in Kiev. Who was, who was there was Lindsey Graham and Richard Brumenthal. Now, they somehow worked up a hotel bill in one night for the taxpayers of $800,000. There's a receipt for that. So I don't know what they ordered for room service, but quite a bill. And in that one night in Kyiv, they had these talks and then, you know, two days later you had all these bombings and then you have Lindsey Graham kind of going rogue, saying that he's going to sponsor more severe sanctions against Russia and siding with Ukraine, which is now, that's triggering the Logan Act. And the Logan act means that what he's engaging in is sedition, right?

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. So senators negotiating with a foreign country without the consent of the United States president. So what was he doing there? As Ron Paul pointed out this morning, like, this is a clear violation. Steve Bannon called for him to be arrested, Lindsey Graham to be arrested. He could be.

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

He could be. I mean, if President Trump wanted to, he could call him into the office because he conspired with other senators and arrest him under the Logan act because it's seditious. He needs to follow, because it's up to the president to establish the foreign policy. Now the Senate can advise, they can recommend, they can make a big letter and say, hey, we really don't want you to do this. And, you know, Any president of the United States would look at at that and there would be a debate or discussion. But in this case, Lindsey Graham has gone rogue.

[Natalie Morris]

And in my opinion, Craig William in our chat says there are Republicans in South Carolina voting for Lindsey Graham. I want to have a talk with you. If you ever cast your vote for Lindsey Graham, I need to talk to you. You are working against the rest of us. You probably don't understand. You must love war.

[Clayton Morris]

Well, you probably work for Boeing in his backyard or one of the defense contractor companies in his backyard.

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

Do you remember what Lindsey Graham said? I think it last year? He said, this war, this proxy war is the best money we ever spent killing Russians. And he made that really inflammatory statement. I mean, when I worked in the Senate, he was at the South Carolina House of Representatives that year. And then he went on to go on into the House before he went to the Senate. I think he was in the senate later in 2003. But I knew of him because he was such good friends of John McCain and he was at some sort of event. He's always been blustery. He's always been unusual and belligerent, especially about war. And you know, he doesn't have a wife, he doesn't have any children. I don't think Lindsey Graham cares if we go to nuclear war. I really don't. He's somehow with his hundred thousand dollar a year salary made multimillions. I don't know how that is, but.

[Clayton Morris]

I hope there's an investigation.

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

I would have loved it if Musk would have investigated him.

[Clayton Morris]

Oh, I would have loved if we actually look at this $400,000 hotel bill from him and then the other $400,000 from Blumenthal. How are you spending $400,000 at a hotel? But don't worry, Lindsey Graham says he authorized it himself. So nothing to see here, nothing to worry about. Yeah, yeah. Next time I travel authorizing myself.

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

Yeah, A fox in the head. That's what that is.

[Natalie Morris]

Exactly. All right, well, Tara Reid, thank you for staying up till 1 in the morning. In Moscow, we really.

[Clayton Morris]

It's 11:30 there, isn't it?

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

In Moscow it's 11:30, actually.

[Natalie Morris]

Oh, 11:30. Sorry. My, my.

[Clayton Morris]

Sounds better.

[Natalie Morris]

World time, buddy was off. Okay, you can read her book. Left out when the truth doesn't fit in. How she was a Democratic aide who left the Democratic Party because her story did not fit the narrative. Thank you so much. Also, follow her at Read Alexandra. Yes, read Alexandra. That's correct. Thank you for offering to come on Redacted. It's a pleasure.

[Clayton Morris]

Thanks, Tara. Great to see you again. Stay safe there.

[Ralph Schoellhammer]

It was so great talking with you. Take care. And everybody stay safe. Let's. Let's try to get peace. Get to peace.

[Clayton Morris]

Imagine that.

[Natalie Morris]

This is a new segment idea I have is we get Lindsey Graham voters on the show. We let everybody come in on a live stream and abuse them. How about that?

[Clayton Morris]

I know you like the suffering of other people.

[Natalie Morris]

This is a peaceful show.

[Clayton Morris]

We're just gonna do like a town hall.

[Natalie Morris]

I wanna scream at them like I do my children when they do. Don't do their chores.

[Clayton Morris]

Who's it? What's wrong with you? You voted for Lindsey Graham. This warm up.

[Natalie Morris]

Now we're all gonna die. Thank you.

[Clayton Morris]

All right, coming up here on the show, what are we doing?

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah, we're gonna talk about Iran.

[Clayton Morris]

We're gonna talk about Iran. And we're also.

[Natalie Morris]

Which Lindsey Graham also wants to bomb the hell out of.

[Clayton Morris]

We'll talk about that. The Netherlands. We're gonna talk about Italy. We've got a lot more news to get to on this Tuesday. Great to see everyone here. Thank you, guys. Thanks to the tens of thousands of you joining us across YouTube and rumble and Twitch and everywhere else. Thank you, guys. Great to see all of you guys. Really great. Thank you, guys. There's more people watching our show than a Colorado Rockies game, which is always great. Thank you. Thanks to the 50,000 of you or so that are watching. Great to see you.

[Natalie Morris]

The Rockies have the losingest record in all of modern baseball since 1901. They hit 50 losses before even 10 wins.

[Clayton Morris]

They might only win 25 games this year.

[Natalie Morris]

That's pretty bad.

[Clayton Morris]

My Phillies swept them in four games anyway. All right, we got more news to get to.

[Natalie Morris]

But first, shall we talk about bunker life?

[Clayton Morris]

Yes.

[Clayton Morris]

Mack Wallace in our chat, Matt Mack Wallace arbitration services in our YouTube chat says this show is a psychological operation.

[Natalie Morris]

Oh, how we want you to not support war.

[Clayton Morris]

We're very anti war. That's our operation here on this show.

[Natalie Morris]

So we call is that a psyop? So that we want you to actually die of war that comes behind your back because how often has that happened?

[Clayton Morris]

Y Explain to me. I would love to hear that, Mac. Explain to me. I love when people just like make a comment like that. They're like, this show is a psyop. By who? But please let me know. Thank you so much.

[Natalie Morris]

All right, coming up, we're going to talk about the collapse of the government in the Netherlands because the Netherlands actually wants common sense immigration policy. Right wing poly, left wing politicians are like, no, we can't do that. So the second in two years, the government collapses again. Also, I want you to come to stay until my last block on hate crimes because this flamethrower dude in Boulder, Colorado is being prosecuted on hate crime laws that were sold to us as a lie. Why should we care? Because they will. Police thought crime, it is bad for all of us. It is also a weaponization of grief. It's built on the lie around the death of Matthew Shepard. I'm gonna tie those two together. I've worked really hard on this segment. I really want your opinion on it. So stick around. Do you wanna talk about Italy too?

[Clayton Morris]

I would. That's gonna be after your segment. So please maybe stick around for me too.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah. He also did some reporting. It's good. You want to hear that? Just kidding.

[Clayton Morris]

Okay, thanks.

[Natalie Morris]

We work really hard on this. We study really hard to deserve you. So please stick around. All right. Are the neocons winning the news cycle for the war with Iran? Now, just a few weeks ago, polls showed that Americans were supporting a peace deal with a new with Iran over nuclear weapons. Now how did this jump so high? A new Rasmussen poll shows that 84% of Americans side with Trump on stopping Iran nuclear program. Now, what they're voting for is they're saying they agree to the statement that Iran must never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. What does that mean? Now, why would you say this when, number one, we have, since the Obama administration tried to prove that Iran had nuclear weapons and have failed miserably. So we do not have proof that Iran has nuclear weapons. Number two, we are totally fine with our, our, with our other adversaries such as China having nuclear weapons. We know they do. And China is not friendly to the United States. We know that Israel has nuclear weapons and Israel is clearly a global aggressor. Oddly enough, this is a side note, but if you'd seen the new Mission Impossible movie, it talks about AI taking control of all of the world's nuclear weapons and shows Israel as a nuclear armed country, which I was very surprised about multiple times in the movie. We pretend we don't know them. And Mission Impossible was allowed to know that.

[Clayton Morris]

Well, we certainly know it and call it out on this show. So we know that Israel is.

[Natalie Morris]

We, our politicians pretend that they don't know that. But this is true. Yeah. And Tom Cruise told the truth about that. How about that?

[Clayton Morris]

Good for Tom Cruise.

[Natalie Morris]

Well, on Monday, President Trump declared on Truth Social that Iran will not be allowed to enrich uranium at all 0%, 0. Which is weird because in April, Steve Witkoff said that we would tolerate a low level of enrichment. Enrichment for uranium at around 3%. What changed? We went into these peace deals saying 3% is fine so you can have nuclear energy. Now we're saying zero will bomb it all to hell. How did this happen? In a few short weeks. That's why I said the narrative is all over the place. Maybe this reflects pressure from hardliners in Trump's circle about growing tensions in Tehran. Maybe it's because we know that we cannot stop Israel from attacking Iran. They say that they're going to do it anyway and we're not going to condemn them if and when they do. Meanwhile, Iran is still engaged in negotiations. Publicly, they've asked the US to clarify their commitments to lifting sanctions that again, have been there for decades. So they are at least speaking rationally. Their Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, meanwhile, we are going to continue to enrich uranium for what they call peaceful purposes. So what? What again, like our peace deal with Russia, our peace deal in Gaza? What once looked like a possible compromise now appears to be slipping Further out of reach now. Overnight, Senator Chuck Schumer said that there's a secret deal that the Trump administration is. They're talking publicly, really tough, no enrichment, but behind closed doors, actually engaged in diplomacy. I'm not mad about that. Are you? I'm fine with it. Say whatever you want on Twitter, on Truth Social, get us to a peace deal deal, full stop, no bombing Iran. What do you think?

[Clayton Morris]

Well, I mean, I think that there's a number of like paid shills right now, and there's all like Mark Levin and these other people who are actively trying to scuttle this deal. So if you're like Israel first, you're like, you're, you're outraged that President Trump, that they're trying to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran. How dare you? You're supposed to be bombing them off the face of the planet. That's exactly what they want, of course. And so these neocons again, once again trying to scuttle this plan. Wouldn't it be great, great if out of this deal the United. We don't lose anything, right? We just don't lose lives. We don't have people dying. So Iran would have the inability to create nuclear weapons. They would only be able to create civilian infrastructure, nuclear energy. And the United States, what, like, what's so bad about that? Oh, you mean we wouldn't all die in a massive regional war? Like, they can't handle that. These neocons absolutely want us to go and bomb the shit out of Iran.

[Natalie Morris]

Right? And think about their neighbors that are nuclear armed. Pakistan and Israel. Right. Why are we okay with that? China, which is an adversary, an admitted adversary to the United States, still does. Why are we focused on someone else's enemy? I'm just curious.

[Clayton Morris]

I don't know, you know, but let's talk about, let's talk about the Netherlands. The Dutch government has collapsed. Collapsed following, and this is shocking, the withdrawal of the Conservative Party for Freedom led by Geert Wilders. Now, Wilders resigned because he could not implement his immigration policy. And shortly after that, Prime Minister Dick Schoof resigned as well. Now the Netherlands has a caretaker administration until new elections, likely in October. This is the second time in just two years that the Dutch government collapsed due to immigration. Who could have seen this coming? Mark Ruta resigned in the summer of 2023 in disguise, in disgrace. And then what did he do? He get promoted to the head of NATO. Right? That's how these things work in Europe. You like, you resign in disgrace or you're voted out of Office in Europe, and then they promote you.

[Natalie Morris]

Oh, I guess they're gonna promote Geert Wilders for telling the truth. Actually, he wanted common sense immigration reform, so he may not actually get the globalist promotion that Mark Rutte did.

[Clayton Morris]

Let's bring in Ralph Schoellhamer because he's an academic researcher, host of Hammertime on YouTube. Always has a keen sense of what's happening in Europe. Ralph, great to see you. I guess it's so hard to believe that the Dutch government would collapse under the weight of its immigration policy. Who could have seen this coming? Oh, you did.

[Tara Reid]

Well, I mean, we've talked about the Dutch quite a couple of times, and I think what is happening. And we're making it back in the day. Hey, Builder made one strategic statement. This was sacrifice the possibility of getting an actual office within the government in order to get his party into a governing coalition, because that was the price they demanded of. They said, well, we will.

[Clayton Morris]

Hey, Ralph, hold on a second. Hold on a second. Sounds like your microphone. Sounds like your microphone is like the room microphone and not your actual microphone. Can we just check that? Just want to check that a second. Make sure it sounds like you're picking up microphone. Yeah, there. It's not like we had a microphone from you from, like down the hall around the corner. Technical things in your cat's bed down the hall somewhere. Now.

[Natalie Morris]

Now, you sound amazing. Okay. What we were doing was allowing you a victory lap because you predicted this. So tell us why you saw this coming. Plain as day.

[Clayton Morris]

Take two.

[Tara Reid]

The main reason is something that we saw all over the place, which is that if right wing parties allow themselves to be domesticated, if this is the term that I would use, then they cannot execute the policies they promised. Because the problem Wilders has, if you look at the polls, his party is not doing as well as they did during the last election. So this was also a little bit break glass in case of emergency action on his part. I'm glad he did it. I think it was a mistake to enter the government the way he did it in the past. He was the man who won the elections. He should have become prime minister. He didn't even become a minister. And I hope that for the upcoming elections, he will tell the Dutch people, listen, vote for me. I'll be the minister if we win the elections again. Justice Nigel Farage in the UK finally is saying, I will be prime minister if reform wins the next elections. I think this was always a mistake by the right to say, oh, we kind of want to be part in government, but we don't really have to be at the levels of power. I think this is finally changing and it's a good thing.

[Natalie Morris]

What was this radical immigration reform that he had promised?

[Tara Reid]

Well, there's a word, this is going to be the word of 2025 and maybe for the coming years in Europe. And that's the word remigration. It is a term that was originally used, and I don't mean this in a negative way, I think it just describes it most accurately, that it was used mostly on the political fringes. It was used by fringe groups, but it is now coming into the center again, which I think is a good thing. This idea that people are in your country, country who just got, let's say, a passport yesterday, who commit crimes, who are dual citizens, that there must be ways and means to encourage these people to return to their countries of origin. This is something that Wilders demanded. The government rejected it. This was the main reason, at least that's what he said, why the government blew up. And this is also what an increasing number of right wing parties, but also luckily right wing and conservative commentators are demanding. So this, I think is going to be the main issue for the coming years. We're no longer talking as much about assimilation and integration, which is going to be an important topic, but we're talking more and more about the concept of remigration and how that can actually be executed.

[Natalie Morris]

Is that even possible? Somebody comes from somewhere where they're seeking asylum and then you're like, just go back. Isn't it maybe a bit more reasonable to curb the flow of migrants, which the Netherlands has not done?

[Tara Reid]

Well, I think you have to do both things. But the sense that many people have, which I think is not entirely mistaken, is that the numbers, at least in the urban areas, have reached such critical mass that simply stopping the flow does not really address the already existing social, cultural and also of course, demographic and economic problems. So there must be ways to. Again, all of this I won't be very clear. Nobody's talking about deportations. The term is re migration. So there must be means and ways to enable this. And let me just be very clear here, the asylum process and the asylum laws have been hollowed out. To give you a very concrete example, a refugee from Afghanistan who claims asylum and actually has no right to claim asylum can still stay in Europe, in Germany, in Austria and other places simply because he's threatened by poverty in Afghanistan. There are many people in the world that compared to Europe, are very poor. So if we make Poverty. If we made climate change grounds for asylum, then you're correct, Natalie, then these people will never return. But I think there has to be a somewhat more forceful approach that says if you come to a country, if you have no valid claims for asylum, that you're persecuted in your country, there can be no incidences. Just to give another example, we have people in Norway, in Sweden, and the Netherlands who go home for vacation, for family reunions, to the places from which they supposedly fled to Europe. That makes no sense. Right? This is like Jewish emigres to the UK or the United States going back to Nazi Germany to, you know, to celebrate weddings and birthday parties. And I think at some point, America, the British people have said, oh, wait a moment, didn't you tell us it's not asylum? Yeah, I know this chance.

[Natalie Morris]

We had that in Portugal, actually, in these groups that we were hosting, Ukrainian refugees who were refugees from the war who would go back home for another suitcase of clothes. Clothes. That's not what.

[Clayton Morris]

To be clear, that wasn't. She said, we, not us.

[Natalie Morris]

We didn't house them. It was like in my.

[Clayton Morris]

But they were like, yeah, you know.

[Natalie Morris]

When we lived in Portugal, she flew.

[Clayton Morris]

Back to Kiev to pick up some of her dresses and flew back to Portugal. And her jewelry and things like that. Like. That's not exactly how this works. That's not exactly how this works.

[Tara Reid]

Yeah. And we, of course. And the. The law has been ignored for a very long time. I give you another example. There was a recent court case in Germany just two days ago with a family from Somalia, and they were rejected aside from asylum, mostly on the grounds that they came via six different countries. And the German government said, listen, there have been a couple, including Poland, by the way, there have been a couple of countries en route to Germany that were safe states. So if you need asylum and protection, you could have gotten it in any one of those countries. You have no right to come to Germany. But the German court now decided that, no, no, no, no, no. Germany has to accept those asylum claims. So we have the same thing that's happening in the United States where you guys are.

[Natalie Morris]

Are.

[Tara Reid]

Which is that you have an activist judiciary that pretty much believes that they can make asylum and immigration law. And this is going to be the battle that's going to take place against the courts, but it will all be built around this concept, as I said, of remigration. I mean, I know this is. It's quite interesting because the people are no longer. And I warned. And you guys did as well. This has been the warning from the once moderate rights. Because I have been radicalized myself, I freely admit, admitted, which was that if we cannot, as Natalie pointed out, curtail and limit the inflow of migrants, at some point people would say, oh, no, no, it's no, long enough just to stop the inflow. We actually have to create an outflow. And this is the point that we've reached.

[Clayton Morris]

Eva Vardlingerbrook posted this just a few hours ago. She said right wing leaders should never compromise on their key objectives. She's talking about Wilders here and she's said just to be able to form a coalition. And of course, she's a Dutch journalist, she's from the Netherlands. She says it destroys all credibility when they basically just come together, they give up their key objectives, they form a coalition. They're better off in the opposition, she says, until they become big enough to make actual change. She's thrilled that he decided to withdraw from the cabinet. Do you think that that's a smart move? Because we see all across Europe these coalitions coming together and then nothing ever comes of it.

[Tara Reid]

Well, there are two points to be made. One is, and I said this on your show several times, there's a difference between being in office and being in power. So the right wing parties need to get critical mass at elections that they're not just in office with other parties in a coalition government, but they can actually be in power now in the Dutch case, and I know, and I like Eva very much now, but the Dutch, the Dutch people deep down, I'm afraid, are still quite, let's say, positively inclined towards a liberal worldview. I mean, this is something that's hard to give up. If you were the same sex, marriage and rainbow warrior kind of country, the number one most liberal state in the world. This is something that's difficult to give up. So the question is whether this strategic move by Wilders will actually pay off. Will he come in first and significantly come in first at this new election, or will the coalition of the Labour Party and the Green Party, which in polls currently is about at the same. Is polling at the same level as his party, or will he actually be weakened by these elections in October? I think it's too soon to tell. But the Dutch people by, I would say are not usually known for their right wing inclinations.

[Natalie Morris]

Right.

[Clayton Morris]

That's a good way to put it.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah. There was no contrition about what Margruthe did to them, like, oh, we shouldn't do this again. Maybe our liberal leaders are leading us into destruction. It was only if you were a farmer that you felt that the rest of them were insulated by their politics in the cities.

[Tara Reid]

I mean, there is, and I'm sure you talked about this probably yesterday on your show, the recent presidential elections in Poland. Now, if you look at polling in polling in Poland, what you see is that there is this massive shift and that's happening in Germany. It's also happening, I think, in the United States, particularly among men under the age of 30. But in rural areas, also women, women, this shift to the right. Gen Z is shifting to the right. The exception is always women under 30 in urban centers. That's always the big exception. Women in cities, single women in cities are very, very liberal. We can talk about this on a separate occasion, but apart from that group, everybody who is below the age of 30 is shifting to the right. Now, if this trend that we've seen in German elections, in Austrian elections, in Polish elections, in American elections, if this also holds in the Dutch case, I think then Wilders can pull it off. But it's going to be difficult because the opposition parties will say, well, look at Wilders. He can't get anything done. Then he blows up the government. Why would anybody trust him? And that could be potentially an interesting line of attack. So he has to be careful. It will take all he has when it comes to his political talent and political skill to get the power that he's striving for in order to effect the change that the Dutch people hopefully want.

[Natalie Morris]

All right, Ralph Schoellhammer, thank you for staying up late in Austria to explain this to us. Yeah, great to talk to you as always. Follow Ralph on the Hammer Time YouTube channel as well as on X.

[Clayton Morris]

Thanks, Ralph.

[Tara Reid]

Thank you so much. Talk to you.

[Clayton Morris]

Great to see you guys. People in the chat, we were talking about, you know, psyops and someone says Clayton's eyebrows are a psyop.

[Natalie Morris]

Are they? No, they're. They're absolutely real.

[Clayton Morris]

They're real and they're strong.

[Tara Reid]

Strong.

[Clayton Morris]

They're really strong eyebrows.

[Natalie Morris]

When I was pregnant with our first child, my mom said, I hope the baby doesn't have eyebrows.

[Clayton Morris]

Like, can you imagine?

[Natalie Morris]

The baby did not pop right out of the womb.

[Clayton Morris]

Pops out with these eyebrows. These are some strong eyebrows. Yeah, I gotta trim them up, I think.

[Natalie Morris]

No, they're looking good, but they are. Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. All right, we got more news to get to. We're going to talk about the hate crime law. The hate crime law that's now being used to enforce the terrorist attack with so called terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, from an illegal alien who was there that carried out this attack in Boulder. We're going to talk about that. We're also going to talk about Italy exploding because of the volcanic eruptions that have been happening. But it's not about Mount Etna. It's about what's happening in Southern Italy that no one's talking about. So we'll talk about all of that. But first, ladies and gentlemen, there is a war happening right now.

All right, this next story I want to tell you, and I want to let you know that I ran it through AI to see what the algorithm thinks of it, and it hates it. This. The AI does not want me to tell you this story, which is exactly why I'm going to. My intentions are good because most of us were manipulated by the death of Matthew Shepard. And guess what? But the government expanded its own powers based on this. So here we go. Are you ready? Do a little stretch. I'm gonna tell you things you probably did not know. Are you okay? You take a multivitamin. Let's go.

[Clayton Morris]

I took a kimchi one. I'm ready.

[Natalie Morris]

All right. The hate crime laws being used in Boulder today trace back to a very specific case, the killing of Matthew Shepard in 1998. But what if we were not told the truth about this case? And in fact, we were not. Now, this story relates not only to Gay Pride month, which just kicked off a few days ago, but also to the hate crime laws that are being used to prosecute the Firebomber in Boulder, Colorado. These two stories go together in a way that maybe you wouldn't think. So buckle up, because you're not going to like this. Which makes this photo all the more relevant. Crazed attacker, gay pride flag in the background. So here we go. How do these two things come together? It is uncomfortable. It's a story about how grief was weaponized. Well intended grief. A myth became law. And now that law is giving the government the right to put punish thought. So the suspect accused of firebombing peaceful pro Israel demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, has been charged with 16 counts of attempted murder, hate crimes and a list of other charges. What he did was heinous. Should be prosecuted, no question. But why are we biting on this hate crime bit? What even is that? Aren't all crimes hateful? A crime is a crime. Do we need a new category to punish a crazed man with a makeshift shift flamethrower? Attempted murder and assault should cover it. Labeling something a hate crime may feel satisfying, but it is dangerous because our legal system is supposed to guarantee equal justice under the law. Adding extra punishment based on intent or emotion risks undermining that very principle. It opens the door to thought policing, punishing people more harshly not just for what they did, but what we think motivated that. And can you see how then our own rights will be eroded under this ironically, hate crop? Hate. Hate crime laws gained momentum under the Clinton administration following the 1998 death of Matthew Shepard. The media story was based on so many lies, it's hard to count. We were manipulated not only into the gay pride movement, but also to sign off on the very notion of hate crimes. The Clinton administration jumped Right into the shepherd case, before an investigation had taken place, President Clinton even called the hospital and gave a national speech about bigotry. Ten years later, we got this. President Obama signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate crimes prevention Act. It added new protections from hate crimes for sexual orientation, gender identity, gender and disability. It removed federally protected activity requirements. So previously a hate crime had to occur during specific federal activity like voting or attending school. Now the new law removed that restriction so the federal government can prosecute hate crimes even if the victim was not engaged in such activity. So as you can imagine, this new power allowed the government to prosecute thought, to track ideologies, to expand its own power based on intention. Now the public was sold this story of Matthew Shepard's death as an innocent man who was beaten to death for making a pass at a street man. But in depth reporting tells a very different story. The amazing reporting of Stephen Jimenez shows that the public was told a lie and also not only to expand government powers, but to sell the gay rights movement and lie to gay Americans about the traffic true danger that Matthew Shepard was involved in that got him killed, which was drugs and prostitution, not hitting on straight people. Jimenez himself is a gay man. He knew right away that he was being manipulated by this story. He spent months in Laramie, Wyoming talking to people who had first hand accounts and no one that he talked to immediately thought this was a hate crime, be not even the murder prosecution in the state at first. Why is that? Because many credible witnesses told Jimenez that Matthew Shepard and his killer, Aaron McKinney had a long and storied sexual relationship and that they sold drugs together across state lines. Jimenez shows how Shepard had been engaging in very dangerous activity prior to his death, including drugs and prostitution, possibly motivated by the fact that his autopsy showed he was HIV positive positive, which may be why he was so reckless. Now, just a few months before his death, he had his jaw wired shut because he reportedly made a very aggressive pass at a straight man who punched him. Jimenez reports that Shepard tried to report this punch as a rape, but when he was examined at the hospital, the physician found no evidence of rape and Shepard himself dropped the account. Also, Shepard had previously been arrested as a sexual predator. According to Jimenez, Jimenez found that shepherd had been arrested for molesting eight year old boys, had received counseling and been hospitalized for suicide. As a result of that, the prosecution in his murder trial moved to suppress this from the record during the trial in 1999. Now Shepherd's name is currently on that hate crime bill along with James Byrd, who was a victim of one of the worst racially motivated murders in modern history. He was murdered by white supremacist. Now I ask you, if you were Bird's family and you knew the truth about Matthew Shepard, how would you feel about the two of them on the same bill? Also, there were two men arrested for the murder of Matthew Shepard. Only one of them was involved in a sexual relationship. A new Matthew Shepard. The other was kind of in the wrong place at the wrong time and he got pistol whipped for trying to stop it. Take a look at this picture closely. What you see there is like a half moon shaped wound. Wound that was consistent with the same markings on Shep on Matthew Shepard. He was hit by the same guy who killed him and he never got a fair trial. I'm comfortable in saying he didn't get a fair trial because the prosecution got a plea deal by threatening him with the death penalty and he signed away his rights to an appeal. In fact, he tried to make that case that he didn't understand it. He was only 21 at the time. The entire country was was after him. He lost his attempt at an appeal just a few months ago. So why does this matter? Matthew Shepard was no angel, but clearly did not deserve to be beaten and left for dead in a cold overnight. On that we can agree it was a horrible murder. The murderer deserved punishment. But it matters because gay men were never told the truth. Drugs and prostitution and HIV is what led Matthew Shepard into dangerous behaviors and into a dangerous situation. Not hitting on the wrong straight man. It matters because our grief was manipulated. We were sold a sad story that left out these important details, such as the award winning play the Laramie Project. The song the Scarecrow by Melissa Etheridge, which is a song about intolerance, which was not Matthew Shepard's story. This NBC made for TV TV movie, the Matthew Shepard story. Not one of them told us the truth until this brave gay man saw right through it. Stephen Jimenez and decided to investigate. And what happens then when we don't catch the government and the media in these lies? Obviously we get expanded government power like the Matthew Shepard hate crime bill. There is obviously no need for a hate crime bill. Murder is murder. Murder, assault with a flamethrower should do it, right? That ought to do it. Now we live in the shadow of that narrative where hate crime laws sound righteous, but they create legal disparities, moral confusion. They elevate certain victims above others and they allow prosecutors and politicians to virtue signal rather than uphold principle. And they distract us from the real danger in this case, if you were a gay man, you lived in. In fear that the wrong straight man would kill you, when you should have lived in fear of the drug and prostitution rings that exist inside gay communities. Isn't that so much scarier? Don't you think so? Yes, the Boulder firebomber should have the book thrown in at him, but hate crime need not apply. We don't need new categories of crime. We need equal application of justice, and we need to tell the truth, even if that's uncomfortable. That's the only way forward. Let me know what you think of this, full stop.

[Clayton Morris]

I totally agree. I've been saying for years that the hate crime legislation is total garbage. And most people in our chat room agree with you that the hate crime legislation only really employs, like, you know, basically, when you push this hate crime legislation, it employs like another. A few thousand more government workers, right? Yeah, basically, like DEI projects and all of these other things to, like, identify and root out hate crimes. Like, if you kill someone, that's hateful.

[Natalie Morris]

Right.

[Clayton Morris]

We need to add another layer on top of it. Because you killed that person because of the way you felt about their skin. No, it's hateful. Murder is the ultimate right. The ultimate horrible thing. We don't need hate crime legislation on top of this.

[Natalie Morris]

So let me know. Were those shocking details, because I was very manipulated to think that. Oh, my God. Homophobia. That's so sad. That's why Matthew Shepard died. These details were suppressed by our media and our government. And I found it shocking when I read this book. Let me know if that's new to you.

[Clayton Morris]

It was new. I mean, I know this from talking with you over the past couple of years after this, you know, this revelation, but. And I lived in Montana. People in the chat room said, I'm. I'm shocked by this. Some people in the chat room saying, I live in liberal, you know, or liberal part of Colorado. And I'm surprised to hear this. I didn't know this part of the story at all. And of course, Bill Clinton and the. Janet Reno. And all of them rallied around.

[Natalie Morris]

Yes.

[Clayton Morris]

Rallied around this idea. Yeah. Songs were written about it. You could hear and talk about it. When I lived in the state of Montana, they would talk about this. So I think a lot of people have been duped into this story over the years.

[Natalie Morris]

And the person who ran then the Matthew Shepard charity was a Clinton lawyer, a former Clinton lawyer. Like, money was raised on this. Our grief was weaponized. We meant well. Right. We didn't know why lie to us in order to expand government powers. I'm mad as shit.

[Clayton Morris]

Can we also, though, talk about. The other big piece of the story is that this guy in Boulder was an illegal immigrant. I mean, he was here and his visa expired, so he was here illegally, legally under Biden's open border policies. So of course they're never gonna talk about that. They'll never open up and actually talk about how this guy was here illegally and carried out this attack. How many more individuals like this are there in the United States? The drug cartels, the gang members, the violent criminals who are here that the Biden's open border policy allowed in. By the way, when he violated his visa agreement, it became illegal. Did the Biden administration do anything.

[Natalie Morris]

Nope.

[Clayton Morris]

To get him out of here? No, they didn't. They didn't care at all. They probably thought, well, he's in a liberal sanctuary city, Boulder, Colorado. Then he'll be happy here and maybe he'll vote for me. Probably become like a voter is probably what will happen. Yeah, let us know your thoughts on that.

[Natalie Morris]

Why did you stop the chat? You have something to see?

[Clayton Morris]

No, I was just scrolling through and getting some good comments here. Yeah. Any other comments here? See hate. See, Novi novi hora says redacted hate is not a crime. Only an action is a crime, even if the person doing the action is completely indifferent. Hate is a term used for wide interpretation against targets.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. So thank you for that. I know you keep posting that, but we do see that there. Yeah. Interesting, interesting. So, anyway, we've got more news to get to. I want to talk about Italy and the explosion that's. That's rocking that country. That's really kind of set to rock that country. By the way, some people said my eyebrows are not a psyop. They're. They're manly eyebrows. I'm a man, so I should have strong eyebrows.

[Natalie Morris]

Okay. I take that someone else said a nice thing about my hair. Do you want to hear about that?

[Clayton Morris]

No, I don't.

[Natalie Morris]

Why can we only talk about your body hair?

[Clayton Morris]

Because I was mocking.

[Natalie Morris]

Oh, I did get a blowout today, if that's what you're looking into. So, okay, yeah, let's move on to Italy. But before we do that, Clayton would like to tell you about Lear Capital. Because gold and silver is. I mean, this advice has held up you guys.

[Clayton Morris]

Well, yeah. I mean, we've been saying it for years now. Did you see what bank of America just posted? Bank of America is now saying gold, $4,000 an ounce. So, you know, it Was like, oh my God, that's crazy that everyone was saying $3,000 an ounce, now $4,000 an ounce. We just spoke to Gerald Celenti, the. He's been championing gold for a long time. He says there's other reports now upwards. $6,000 an ounce. It's not that far fetched when you think that Bitcoin is 103,000, 100, $4,000 for a Bitcoin at this point.

We have a few sponsors in our show because this is a free show otherwise we wouldn't be able to do this and employ the staff that we have here and pay for everything that we've got in our studio here. So thank you for your support. Someone in the chat said they were shocked by that story and they didn't realize that Matthew Shepard story at all.

[Natalie Morris]

Me too. By the book. Yeah, yeah, by Stephen Jimenez book. It's shocking. And also when I put those data points into chat GPT, it lectured me profusely that those things are considered conspiracy. It's written by liberals. Yeah, well, it's written by a gay man who spent months and months in Laramie, Wyoming talking to firsthand sources. I believe him. I don't think any of that has been proven to be not true. And in fact there was some truth reporting around 2020. They actually tried to do some of that. Left some out, some. And so I can't throw all the media under the under the bus. 2020 did report some of that, but most of it was hidden from us. And again, it's like the Alexi Navalny story. It's like once Hollywood picks this up as something that needs to play your heartstrings for I'm, I'm done. There's, there's something there. I'm not Supposed to see. And I'm pissed about it. I'm still pissed about it. And again, I don't. I. I do grieve. The death of Matthew Shepard is horrible, horrible death. But again, he was running in very dangerous circles. It was not something to blame straight men for at all.

[Clayton Morris]

All right, let's talk about Italy. Well, Italy is a ticking time bomb ready to explode. And who could have seen this coming? Oh, we did and reported on this last year, by the way. We warned then that dozens of volcanoes set to explode across southern Italy in the Campe Flegrei area, the volcanic depression area. But all eyes, of course, on Mount Aetna, which just exploded this weekend, once again happened 10 months ago. Everyone's saying, acting like, oh, my God, this is like, such something new. Oh, my God. Mount Etna exploded. This is a distraction, though, from the real story, which we'll get to in a second here, and people need to pay attention to. And I have a question for the Italian government. Like, why are you not warning the people of Italy to move to get out of this location? Because all signs point to a devastating cataclysm that's about to happen in Italy. So what's really going on in Italy? Well, On Monday, yesterday, June 2, Mount Ed Etna, Europe's most active volcano. So nothing really surprising here erupted, sending a massive ash plume into the sky, prompting tourists to flee its slopes. These people running for their lives. Oh, my God. I mean, what would you guys do with this? So get. Really. I don't know if you know about Pompeii. I mean, you really can't outrun this stuff. So just get. I mean, I wouldn't. As fast as you can. Personally, I wouldn't recreate on active volcanoes. That's. That's kind of one of my rules.

[Natalie Morris]

How boring, Phillips.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah, it's one of your rules. Yeah. Stay away from gluten and don't recreate on active volcanoes lessons.

[Natalie Morris]

What a stiff he is.

[Clayton Morris]

I know you don't. You don't like camp on an active volcano. Do you guys hear two in the morning? I hear some. I don't even go up. I don't even go up Mount St. Helens because that terrified me as a kid, and I was, like, nowhere near here, so. And it's like. It's just like, I can see Mount Helens from here, so. Well, Mount St. Helens. The. The dome continues to grow there, too, so you might want to.

[Natalie Morris]

So, good call.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah, you're kind of, like, living near the. You know, the epicenter there. Philip, you Might want to rethink this. Anyway, this eruption originated from the southeast crater of Mount Etna, triggered by a partial collapse that led to pyroclastic flows, lava fountains. Again, nine or ten months ago, the same thing happened. Happened, although it looked a little bit different. Massive eruption. Okay, so Mount Etna, not a huge deal. Right. See it regularly, even. Also, the Stromboli volcano, which is considered, I think, one of the world's most active volcanoes in Italy, continues to erupt, although there's been some major deformations recently in the Stromboli volcano. So that's been changing and maybe potentially getting a lot worse there. But again, these two kind of active, we all know about them. Great. But the real deal is 550 kilometers away near Naples, next to Mount Vesuvius. And again, Mount Vesuvius gets all the attention. Oh, Mount Vesuvius. You know, it's great, beautiful. It's a conical volcano. It's kind of dormant. You know, we haven't seen it explode in 39,000 years or whatever, but it's fine. But the real story is Campe Flegrei that is ready to explode. Last year, there were warning signs started showing with seismic experts pointing to a major event that was coming, coming that could wipe out southern Italy, could wipe it off the map. Here's what we reported over a year ago. Watch. Look how much younger I look. And the Italian government is sending all sorts of mixed signals about this. But one thing is abundantly clear. Italy needs to start mass evacuations right now or expect a huge loss of life thanks to a hotbed of volcanic activity, thanks to 24 separate volcanoes, volcanoes that are showing dangerous signs of exploding. So In April of 2024, southern Italy, over 600 earthquakes recorded over a few days, the most ever recorded in a single month. Crustal deformation in Campe Flegrei indicates potential seismic activity. The decrustification, the deformation in Campe Flegrei area suggested suggests seismic episodes. And when experts studied the integrity of the ground, they found that it had decreased dramatically. The integrity had decreased dramatically. Think of it like. Like a cracking eggshell. Even a small amount of seismic activity could cause this magma to flow in a massive way. A massive eruption. Italian news reports have been highlighting these earthquakes for months. And so have tourists been posting, like, hey, we were there. We smelled all the sulfur. There's cracks in our. Middle of the night, we've earthquakes, and there's cracks down the side of our hotel room. We were glad to leave Italy. Watch this news report. Earthquakes, building destruction. But this is happening on a regular basis. So people who've had their heads stuck in the sand are claiming that there are no signs of an eruption because there's no clear upward magma intrusion. There's no giant cone that's shooting out of the ground. What they don't understand is that Campe Flegrei is a 15 kilometer wide depression like a cauldron. It's not a typical shield or a cone volcano. So going back to 1948, by the way, Billy Meier had published warnings about this, that this was going to come. Come to Italy, published this in 1948 in copyright, copyrighted material. So you can actually verify it for yourself in the 1940s. And then he wrote again about it in the 1980s. 80s. This is why we've been tracking this story. He's written about it, it's copyright, verifiable. It's happening. Maybe time to pay attention to this or people. A lot of people are going to die. He's written extensively about the coming destruction of Europe and what he wrote is happening right now. You can dive deeper into the Billy Meier materials and prove it. Verify it for yourself if you want. It's all public. It's going to blow your mind, actually, if you're open. Some of you are very familiar with Billy Movie Meyer, because I hear from you on a regular basis. They say, hey, thanks for covering the Billy Meier materials. Others of you might not be ready for that. That's okay. We're all at different stages of awakening to these things. One day before the Aetna explosion, a piece hit the news about Campe Flegrei. So this was before Mount Aetna hit this weekend, calling it basically a sleeping giant. Naples and the Burning Fields, super volcanoes, Sulfur and the sleeping Giant giants. How there are 24 underground volcanoes near Naples that are sleeping giants, showing signs right now of waking up. So maybe don't buy some real estate near Mount Vesuvius at this point or anywhere near Campe Flegrei in this massive area. And you think about it, you think about how this, how this hit and how we basically descended into a dark period with mass extinction events. When you have this, tens of thousands of people being killed the last time this goes off, widespread famine. Heck, I even mentioned the book, a few. I've mentioned here a couple of times, really a great book about the early 1800s in Indonesia. The Summer Without. No, what is it called? The Year Without Summer.

[Natalie Morris]

The Year Without a Summer.

[Clayton Morris]

The Year Without Summer. It's a really great book. And talks about, of course, the volcano that unfolded in Indonesia and there was famine around the world. I mean, look at what happened to China as a result of this one volcano going off. What happened in New England in the middle of summer during that year, we had snow in New England, wiped out entire crops. So a massive 24 volcano cauldron going off in Italy. It wouldn't just affect Italy, it would affect all of the. Of Europe and it would affect the world as a result. So I think we should pay attention to this.

[Natalie Morris]

Okay, I'm paying attention.

[Clayton Morris]

Hopefully we will. Let me know your thoughts on this. Yeah. Was it Krakatoa? I don't think it was. It wasn't Krakatoa. It was what was. I'm forgetting the name of the volcano in Indonesia that went off. And it was the year without summer in the early 1800s. People in the chat can help me with. With the name of that volcano. I read the book like two years ago. So I'm trying to remember if anyone can remember. Yeah, let me know. What's interesting too about that time is that, like, you had like, Mary Shelley and her husband, they're like, ah, it's so crappy outside. You know what? I'm just gonna go inside and write.

[Natalie Morris]

They had a writing competition. They said, well, let's see who can do some creative writing. They'd been reading German ghost stories and they were inspired by.

[Clayton Morris]

Mary Shelley writes Frankenstein.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah, they were inspired by that. And then Mary Shelley writes Frankenstein. So. Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

Thanks to the volcano. Yeah.

[Natalie Morris]

Does anybody remember which volcano?

[Clayton Morris]

NC player says, who cares?

[Natalie Morris]

You don't have to.

[Clayton Morris]

You don't have to. It's okay. You don't have to care about everything.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

Tomba, was it Krakatoa? Tambora. Yeah. I have to look it up. I'm sorry. Maybe it was Tambora.

[Natalie Morris]

Okay.

[Clayton Morris]

Anyway. All right, well.

[Natalie Morris]

Someone in the chat says, hey, redacted. Lay off the fiction. No, there's no fiction in what I just said. Said it was all facts by seismic. By seismologists and volcanologists and what's actually happening. So you lay off the fiction. Actually, fiction's good for you. I enjoy good fiction from time to time.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah, that's not what we do here. But we are free to share book recommendations of fiction if you would like. All right, we'll see you tomorrow, everybody. Thank you so much. Wait, hold on.

[Clayton Morris]

We gotta. We're gonna raid. We're gonna raid Kim Iverson.

[Natalie Morris]

Okay, we're raiding Kim Iverson's show. If you're on Rumble, stick around. More great content for you.

[Clayton Morris]

Mount Tambo, the volcano. Okay, thank you.
