And on this show we cover the stories the mainstream media largely ignores. And there's silence right now about the collapse of NATO, the complete disarray and chaos, and President Putin of Russia making a pretty bold announcement this morning about moving missiles in medium range, missiles in striking distance of areas like Poland, Germany and other NATO nations. And NATO is sort of scrambling to respond right now. Is this like the death spiral right now for NATO? We're gonna talk about that. The show.
B
Plus President Trump has found another $6 billion in aid for Israel. Why is he doing that when Hamas is trying to negotiate? I wonder why take that from us? That's a question, right?
C
Yeah.
B
We're also going to talk about the smear attack on Tucker Carlson in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. Plus lingering holes in the story. We still do not have a clear story of who shot Charlie Kirk. And we're going to talk about those holes. We're probably going to fight about it because Clayton and I do not agree on this at all.
C
I think you're wrong about that. I think there's a clear problem.
B
Bull crap. And I'm not. That's how I see it.
C
No, I'm not. I have been. Anyway, we'll get to it. So we got a lot to get to today. On today's show.
B
Let's all collectively have a discussion about it.
C
We're not going to talk about underwater UFOs, though today I saw that on the rundown, so we won't be talking about that.
B
Also, today's the first day of fall. Did you already put out your pumpkins? Because if you did, you'd jump the gun. I wore leaves today.
C
I wore my bearskin hoodie today for in honor of the show. So this is. Well, I went fly fishing this weekend and this, my son and I, he has a bearskin hoodie. That's what I have as well. I was wearing this thing out on the cold water and it was started pouring down rain. And you could throw on the bearskin rain shell over top. Look, this was in the middle of pouring down rain and it kept me totally dry. Throw that right over top. And my son had that as well. So you guys, you guys have heard of the bearskin hoodie, right? It's my favorite. I wear it all the time now as smart people are locking in their winter gear now because this is hands down the best time to prep for the coming winter. Bearskin is running a 60% off deal right now. If you want to get your hoodie early, it's a great gift for someone in your family. Obviously, the holidays are coming up. Lock it in now and grab it. This hoodie's built like a tank. 340gsm micro fleece, 10 pockets. So I had, I had fly fishing stuff in different pockets. You know, all sorts of stuff. And that's what you, you can use all those pockets for different things. 100% waterproof when you put on the heavy storm rain jacket as you just saw there. So when it turns cold, wet and windy, you're not scrambling last minute. So do yourself a favor. Text the word redacted to 36912 to lock in your 60% off. Again, text the word redacted to get to 3, 6, 9, 12. You'll get a link and it'll send straight to your phone. You can check it later. If you're busy right now, don't wait till you're freezing. You realize your hoodie sucks. Get a bearskin right now while it's 60% off. Text redacted to 3-6-912 today.
B
Did it help you catch more fish?
C
No, I. That morning there was raining there. I, I hooked a good one. I hooked a good rainbow. And I, I was stupid. I made a stupid mistake on that one. Went right to the reel instead of allowing too much line out for him. So. And I was fishing with a pegged egg set up too, because they were going after these Eggs. Um, so anyway. But fun time. Fun time with my son. Okay, well, let's talk about this. This is not fun. Russian President Vladimir Putin made it crystal clear that he's done talking. He's done playing games with NATO. We are, too, by the way. Speaking before members of Russia's Security Council today, Putin said that Russia is now deploying medium range missiles, formally abandoning long standing arms reduction agreements and preparing military force in response to any threat from NATO. Now, Putin's words were nothing short of a direct warning to the west, if you want to read them that way. He says, quote, strategic stability in the world has begun to deteriorate due to the destructive steps of the West. The foundations for dialogue between nuclear armed countries have been significantly lowered. Russia has warned the west again and again, but its initiatives had not yet received a clear response. Russia is ready to respond to threats, and it's not just in words, he said. This comes as tensions with NATO seem to be spiraling out of control. And it just shows, really, the chaos and disorganization inside of NATO right now. Just days ago, Poland's NATO Deputy Prime Minister issued an ultimatum at the UN Security Council, warning Moscow that if another missile or aircraft crosses into Polish airspace, it will be shot down without hesitation. I have only one request to the Russian government. If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or by mistake, and gets shot down, and the wreckage falls on NATO territory, please don't come here to whine about it. You have been warned. Thank you. You have been warned. Meanwhile, NATO leaders look paralyzed. Two weeks ago, President Trump released a really kind of crazy statement blasting European countries and NATO countries for refusing to carry their weight inside NATO. I mean, we could debate whether or not it's crazy, but he was saying, hey, NATO, you're supposed to be, like, strong against Russia, and you're buying Russian oil and gas. Like you're making ultimatums against Russia, but you're still buying all. You're supporting Putin's war efforts, and yet you claim to be, like, tough on Russia. Okay, they didn't do anything. They didn't listen to him at all. They haven't done anything. To my mind, unless I miss something. For months, Colonel Douglas MacGregor has been warning us that NATO is collapsing. It's lost its relevance. It's a thing of a bygone era. And Colonel Douglas MacGregor joins us today on this with these heightened, what seems to be an escalation here. Colonel, great to see you. What do you think this means for NATO in the days ahead? What do you think this means for Europe and these positioning of these missiles? I don't think people are covering this.
D
No, I think you're right. If this were a poker game, Vladimir Putin has put his cards on the table and he's asking his opposite number to do the same. Unfortunately, I think in terms that Donald Trump would understand, NATO really doesn't have any cards to play. And Sikorsky's comments are almost absurd. Keep in mind that what happened recently with these drones that we think the Ukrainians may have captured electronically and then directed into Lithuanian and Polish airspace, but we're not sure something like that amounted absolutely nothing. The Russians gave all the cooperation they possibly could to everybody telling them what they did and hadn't done. The Belarusians and Minsk did the same thing. And NATO announced, quite frankly, this was not an attack on NATO. So you know Sikorsky, what's he about, the president of Poland, Novarodsky, this is a new one, has already stated categorically that there will be no Polish troops on the ground in Ukraine. They've lost probably an estimated 10,000 Polish soldiers fighting in Ukrainian uniform in Ukraine against the Russians. He simply made it clear they're not going to send any more. They don't want any part of that. And at the same time, you have these Lilliputian armies, the British, French, and whatever there is of the German army that's left are supposedly planning a coalition of the willing that looks a bit silly to intervene in Ukraine. Perhaps they think they can march through Poland, go into Ukraine, put a flag up and declare that this is their no fly zone or whatever else. It's hard to imagine. I think Putin has finally said, well, this is just nonsense. If you come in here with troops, we'll destroy them. If you attack us directly, we'll level you. And they have the missile power to do it. So I think at this point, it's should shut up or put up. And I think ultimately we're going to shut up because I don't see any evidence that President Trump wants to engage this country in a direct confrontation with Russia. So I think Sikorsky's made a fool of himself. I think all of the Europeans have. I don't think they have anywhere to go.
B
Now. President Putin has said that he's willing to continue abiding to the new START treaty. NATO leaders, this is the nuclear treaty which, which expires in February. And NATO leaders are saying, let's take him up on that. How about we do that? Can you explain what happens if we Don't. And what happens if we do?
D
Well, you know, there are two views of arms control. We have to accept this. On one side, there's a view that arms control is always an illusion because you're betting heavily on the other side's willingness to comply. You can't be completely sure they're complying. On the other hand, there's another view, and that is that without any controls, without any agreements in place at all, there there is potential for gross misunderstanding and the resumption of a massive arms race. The Russians have already demonstrated that they can build more missiles and more weapons for the missiles, nuclear weapons, faster than anybody else under those circumstances. Any agreement like START that limits the numbers of weapons they can build, launchers they can use, missile bodies that they can have is, frankly, a good thing, because we absolutely can track most of what they do. Not everything, but most of it. And then the question is, if you see a violation, is it worth the time and the effort to bring up the violation? Because you bring up a violation, you're revealing that you had sources that the enemy now can. Can establish and target. So I think, Natalie, the answer is the Europeans are right. This is something we shouldn't abandon. But then again, if you have the rationality and the common sense to understand the criticality of maintaining controls on strategic nuclear weapons, none of what Sikorsky is saying, none of the things that the three amigos, Starmer, Macron and Metz in Paris, London and Berlin are saying make any sense. It's stupid. Why would you do that? Why would you do any of those things? The war is over. And as Orban has said, he spoke very recently and said, don't waste your time going to Washington. You want to settle this thing and put it behind us, meet with Moscow. He's right. And effectively, I think that's what President Trump said after Alaska. He didn't come out and say it, but he basically said, I've done all I can do. And he told that to the Europeans. And the Europeans need to wake up and understand that what's happening in Eastern Ukraine is much more important to them, if it's important at all, than it is to us. So it's time to go to Moscow. Orban is right. But you see, this also implies what do we need NATO for?
C
Right?
D
And I think the answer is they don't need it. They've got to come up with something else. Given time, I think they will.
C
I mean, this really seems like the death rattle, the final breaths of NATO. I mean, who's going to be the one to finally call it out here. Trump made that threat about a week and a half ago to NATO saying stop buying Russian oil and gas from Russia. You guys purport to be fighting Russia here, but you're buying oil and gas and supporting the war effort, whether or not that's true or not. But they did nothing. Seems like they can't respond. They didn't. There was no response from them. For President Trump, what relevancy do they.
B
Have anymore besides bluster?
D
Well, that's right. The globalists saw the last few months as a last ditch opportunity to drag the United States into a ground war in Ukraine. That's dead. That's not going to happen. That's over. And if you can't get American ground forces to go into Ukraine with you, you might as well hang it up because the British, the French and the Germans don't have the capability to go into, into Western Ukraine and protect themselves, let alone protect their countries. And all President Putin has done is he said, look, I'm going to position these missiles. They can reach London, they can reach Berlin, they can reach Paris, they can reach all the NATO bases in Western. It's up to you if you're going to attack us, if you're going to move forward with this plan of sending the coalition of the willing into Western Ukraine, if you're going to launch strikes against us, we'll retaliate and you're going to lose. This is back to something else that Americans don't understand and Europeans have forgotten. Military power takes years to develop. It takes decades. When you go to war, you go to war on the basis of what you have been able to accumulate and build up as a minimum for 10 years. What have we been doing over the last 30 years? We've been running around with a baseball bat, beating people over the head all over the developing world who have no air defense, no means of protecting themselves, and bombing the living daylights out of them and then beating our chests and reminding everyone that we're the most powerful people in the world. Well, that's over. All you have to do now to see the end of NATO clearly and unambiguously is also look at the Middle east with the announcement today by China that they are backing the strategic mutual defense agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, quote, unquote, completely. Well, Pakistan's a nuclear power and it's a nuclear power because of some of the help and assistance that China provided. What China is saying that if we and Israel want to continue to attack everybody in the Middle east, including Iran, potentially Egypt or anybody else that stands in Israel's way. China will no longer stay out of it. In other words, Chinese military and political power, Chinese national power for the first time in a very long time, I would say certainly over a century, is now on the world stage. So you're looking at the disintegration of NATO on the one hand, the diminishment of Washington's influence, new constraints emerging on what we can do beyond our borders and China in the middle of all of this, not just Russia, but China. And then all of this has to be seen in the context of brics, gold backed currency. There's widespread changes economically, it's all tied together. We're on the losing right now.
C
Can I ask you about China? I'm glad you brought this up and we'll get you out of here on this. Colonel, this weekend I had a pretty illuminating discussion with a defense industry insider who told me that a lot of the weapons programs right now are being developed. They have really a time limit that if they are going to exceed 2027, they're off the table, like they are not being authorized. That 2027 is a moment where a lot of these defense industry programs, weapons, software, everything is being targeted for Taiwan. That the focus among defense industry is Taiwan, China, United States, defending Taiwan. And if your program is going to take you to 2035 to have it developed or built, we're done with it. Sorry. So there really seems to be a movement right now among the defense industry. Focus on China, boogeyman, focus on Taiwan. Are you hearing that? What do you think of that?
D
Oh, yes, that's, you know, sort of the popular opinion inside the Beltway. But I think the following is what's happening. We are headed for a financial crisis. Some people would call it a collapse, a depression. I don't know how severe it will be, but I know it's coming and it's not good. So that that much is an absolute certainty. If you're sitting in the defense industries and you look at what's currently planned, you're trying to get as much money for your programs and for your shareholders as you can before the whole thing collapses. And depending upon whether or not you talk to Luke Gromen or Jeffrey Guntlock or James Ricards or Swift or any Schiff, excuse me, Peter Schiff, any number of other people, it's either coming before Christmas, in other words, sometime between now and Christmas, or within the first three or four months of 26. So your focus is very near term I don't, I don't see any war erupting between us and China. I'm sorry, I don't see it. The people inside the beltway are disappointing, corrupt, ignorant, uninformed. Fine, go down the list. But they're not so stupid as to involve ourselves in a war that we can't possibly win. That, but also nothing to us.
B
You've spoken many times about how our politicians in Washington are co opted by Israel. There would be no advantage to Israel for us spreading ourselves thin like that. We would not be able to focus on what they want. So that doesn't make sense to me in terms of Israel's priority for our leadership, which we know is the priority for our leadership.
D
Well, I think you're right. And I also think that we're not going to do any of it. You know, you can't defend Taiwan. It's just impossible if you're a maritime power that sits 6,000 miles away. And if you think you're going to send a couple of hundred ships over there bobbing up and down in the ocean that are going to be able to attack China with impunity, you're crazy. All of those ships will be found by space based reconnaissance. All of them will be targeted and either neutralized or sunk. People know that. So I don't see it happening. I just see no evidence for that at all. Even as a wild eyed China warmonger like Elbridge Colby, who's sitting in the policy chair in the Pentagon, has backed off from war with China. So Natalie, I think you're right. What they're going to do is they're going to take whatever they've got, they're going to try and sell it and get as much money as they can for it, figuring that, well, after everything collapses, someone sane will come to power in Washington and cut defense by 50%. They'll have to do it. We'll have to bring the troops back. We'll have to fold up the tent and leave the empire behind. We can't afford it and by the way, we don't need it. So that's where we're headed. So if you're in that industry, grab what you can as soon as you can and run like hell.
C
Nerd101 in our chat says the Colonel knows best. He absolutely does and he's been right more times than I can count. Just go back, play the tapes back and pay attention to what's happening right now with the war being over in Ukraine, the destruction of the Ukrainian army and the like. And what's going on in the Middle east, what's going on in China, and what's going on with these warmongers? And we're gonna be watching this coming US Dollar collapse, which is all intentional as well. Colonel, thank you so much for this. We appreciate it.
B
Also, let's make everybody known that if you follow Colonel McGregor on X, you can find information about his upcoming events called the National Conversation. It's a great time to double down and continue to have these conversations in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. Proud of you for continuing to do this, and we're always cheering you on, so please check it out. Dallas is the next event October 4th, so if you're in the area, please do check that out.
C
Awesome. Thanks. Colonel, great to see you. You, Betty.
B
Okay. It's not condescending, right, to say, I'm proud that he's doing that because I'm young. I don't know. It's. I don't want to.
C
Just because you're younger, you can still be proud of someone.
B
Okay. Yeah, sure.
C
Yeah.
B
Okay.
C
I think you can be.
B
I thought maybe that sounded a little. If you don't like the tone of that, you guys let me know.
C
Colonel, check my. Colonel, we're proud that you're continuing to have a national Conversation that's not condescending.
B
Okay, good. All right. You know, I don't want to offend. Yeah, I do. Sometimes I do. In this instance, I don't.
C
Our whole show offends.
B
You never know. Okay. Come.
C
Offend the colonel. Yeah. It'd be very difficult for them.
B
Probably not.
C
All right, coming up on the show, we're gonna Talk with Dan McAdams. Because the US is bankrolling Israel once again, like, $6 billion. We just found that under the seat cushions, like. Okay. I don't know if you've driven across the United States of America lately. $6 billion. All right, well, how do we pull this off? I thought we were done with this, but I guess not. We're gonna talk about that.
B
But first, first, we wanna tell you about our friends over at American Financing, because you might have seen that the Fed finally dropped interest rates, which is great. Expenses, of course, are still high. Energy bills are going to be higher this winter. Wages are flat, and prices keep climbing. So if you want to get out of that cycle of high interest debt, then you need to call our friends over at American Financing, because with interest rates dropping, many homeowners. Homeowners are seeing options in the low fives. When you compare that to high interest credit cards in the twenties or higher. Well then you see that's an easy thing to evaluate. It's like a teeter totter. Put the heavier debt on one side and knock that out with more favorable debt. This is something that wealthy people do all the time is they just leverage their assets. American Financing can teach you that you can help pay off your expensive debt, free up your cash flow and keep your budget under control. They have salary based mortgage consultants saving their customers an average of $800 a month. And if you get started today, you can delay your next two or mortgage payments. Ish. Take control. Then call American Financing at 866-890-8434 or head on over to americanfinancing.netactedamericanfinancing.netacted I'm Alastair.

B
All right, well, president. Let me try that again. Might take a breath. Okay. President Trump scraped together another $6 billion for Israel. In addition to the nearly 4 billion, 40 billion in military assistance that the US already gives Israel. This new arms package includes three 30 AH 64 Apache attack helicopters, more than 3200 infantry assault vehicles. These will be financed through the US foreign aid. Foreign military aid. Why do we have that? Like, wouldn't we be better off to just take that account? We have an account, a checking account for US Foreign military aid. Maybe we should just zero that out and close it. I'm for that. The deliveries are expected to begin in two to three years, making this one of the largest transfers of American military hardware to Israel in recent years, even despite October 7th. Meanwhile, Fox News reports that Hamas is still trying to negotiate. So you would think if that were moving forward, they wouldn't need this watch.
A
Yeah. Hey, Brian. Good morning. Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official and a second source directly involved in the negotiations that Hamas has drafted a personal letter to President Trump asking him to guarantee a 60 day pause in the fighting in exchange for immediately releasing half of the hostages being held inside Gaza. We understand this letter is currently with the Qataris and is expected to be delivered to the president this week. Remember, there are still 48 hostages being held by the terror group inside the Gaza Strip. It's estimated around 20 are believed to be alive and the negotiations were moving forward. But earlier this month, the Israelis launched airstrikes against Hamas inside the Qatari capital of Doha. They have been stalled ever since, but officials hope this letter will help to jumpstart the conversations and ultimately get President Trump directly involved to try and reach an agreement to get the hostages home and end this war.
C
It's interesting that, do you think on.
B
Some level they don't care about the hostages? They could have had the hostages earlier this year, in 2024 and before that.
C
That's why there's so Many people protesting in Netanyahu in Israel, the families of.
B
The hostages saying, please take this deal. Netanyahu saying, not, not interested. Thank you. Here's why they're not interested, because nothing will stop the Israeli government's planned real estate bonanza. Over the weekend, a member of Netanyahu's cabinet went on Israeli television and openly declared that their goal is to make Gaza uninhabitable until all people leave. And then that same fate awaits people of the west bank who had nothing to do with October 7th. Watch this. It's translated, but it is not in English. I said, yes, we want it all. That's, I'm not mincing words here. So, you know, they can go on TV and say, absolutely, we're taking it all. That's the plan. It's going to be ours. And the Trump administration will be like, they have to, October 7th happened. Now that's all theirs. So. Joining us to discuss is Dan McAdams from the Ron Paul Institute. Thank you for joining us. You have been mad as snakes about this on X. I follow your lead. I'm pissed, too. What, what do you think the Trump administration is playing at?
E
Well, we know what they're not playing at, which is America first, because that seems to be last on the agenda now. You know, I mean, the amount of money, and you rightly put out in your intro, the amount of money that the US Gives to Israel as military aid skyrocketing, we have the usual amount. It's what, about $4 billion a year cumulatively, by the way, it's been about little over $300 billion. Of course, the Israelis enjoy free health care, free higher education because they don't have to spend money on their military. We give them the money they need for the military and which is one of the reasons they like to make war on their neighbors, because we're the ones that pick up the tab. But indeed, it's a huge problem with the administration. And more important, more and more people are starting to notice the fact that they are putting America second and opening up the red carpet for Israel.
C
We've been, you know, of course, this comes on the heels of a number of countries now announcing that they're recognizing the state of Palestine. Excuse me, Portugal, France, I think Lithuania, U.K. canada. Yeah. So a number of countries are now, but as Caitlin Johnstone pointed out in a piece that she wrote this morning. Oh, great. You're now recognizing just a pile of rubble, like, what's left. Like, it took you this long to finally come in. Do you think that this is going to change anything, like recognizing the state of Palestine as an actual country, as an actual state.
E
Where is it? You know, I mean, Mike makes right, you know, the power of Israel comes from the barrel of a gun.
D
You're right.
E
It's absolutely performative. I mean, look at your viewers are looking at it right now. This is not a state, this is a, this is a post Holocaust destroyed country. And that's exactly what is happening. That's exactly what it is. But you know, this money is also, of course, its welfare for Israel. It's welfare. It's a green light for Israel to continue to commit genocide. Which by the way, UN Commission, Independent commission just a couple of days ago determined after a two year study that they are committing genocide. None of us are surprised by that. But it's also a good dose of welfare for our military industrial complex. And that's a lot of what this is about. This is a big washing machine that launders money, that launders money through the beltway, through the rich, through the wealthy and powerful as well. So the Israelis get their war, they get to depopulate and genocide Gaza. And the people with the big mansions in McLean, they get to add on, I don't know, a new hot tub, a new rose garden, who knows, right?
B
So meanwhile, I mean, is there any other way to see this in that it is a tax on the American people because it comes directly from us? In the meantime, the way I see it is President Trump in his speech at the Charlie Kirk Memorial said, hey, we're making all these cities beautiful. Charlie wanted Chicago beautiful. We're gonna do that, we're gonna do this. So they're making it seem like they're focused on America first while giving away money under the table, it would seem, because we can be distracted with what happens at home. And so how do you see the economics of this playing out? Because it necessitates more perversion of the economy, which we now see through the Federal Reserve.
E
Well, I think my good friend who preceded me, Colonel Doug McGregor, makes a great point. We're headed toward economic collapse. And anybody that looks at the numbers understands that's what's happening. So we, as we continue to spend like drunken sailors. The economy is in free fall. And unfortunately, the price of our largesse to places like Ukraine and Israel is borne by those in the US who can least afford to bear it. And that's the working and middle classes. And they're having their livelihoods being eaten away by inflation and shrinkflation and all the Ways they hide because they don't dare come to them and say, hey, we want to have some war. We want to give some money to Israel, one of the richest countries on Earth. Would you mind, you know, giving up half your salary, what have you for it? They'd be laughed out of the room. They may be even, but shot in the room. But they won't do it. And meanwhile, you have Trump pretending like he's, like he's the tough guy. I mean, he said this last week, he's getting blanked by Netanyahu. Well, if you're, if you're the President of the United States and Netanyahu is blanking you, I won't use the word. Why can't you tell him to stop? You know, I mean, get off of me, right? Stop doing that. You know, it's, it's, it's a charade. It's a charade.
C
Well, we heard reports that the President is actually scared of Benjamin Netanyahu. Scared of Israel. We know the reports, which have been confirmed, I believe in the Washington Post, that when members of the Israeli coalition came to the United States, they bugged and used listening devices on American Secret Service. Like, these are our friends. These are good friends. So there is definitely a palpable nervousness about criticizing them. You know what, I'm just furious about Dan. I'll just be, I'm so sick and tired of when we call out, oh, we're sending $6 billion to Israel. Shut up, you anti Semite. No, I'm America first. I want my US Tax dollars here in the United States. I want to fix our infrastructure. Why are we looking at China with a massive, you know, thousand mile an hour train? And we can't build anything in the United States. We're gonna send 6 billion to a country that has a budget surplus and a space force. I'm sick of it. And then you get labeled. I'm just sick of the silence of conservatives who, for whatever reason, can't speak out on this issue. I'm sick of it.
E
Well, the good news is that our views are prevailing. The actual America first views are prevailing. I, to be honest, never thought I would see someone like Megan Kelly go on with Tucker Carlson and say, look, all Americans under 30 hate Israel. That's an amazing thing for someone like her to say. And more and more, you're seeing people with real, with a real audience, including, you have to say, Charlie Kirk, who have started seeing the light on our, on our sort of very unfortunate relationship with a particular country, and they're Starting to speak out. And that's why they're in panic mood. That's why, you know, what is it? Three radical pro Zionist billionaires are taking over Tick tock because the kids were using tick tock to discuss how much they hated seeing the Holocaust happening in Gaza. And they're in panic mode. But our numbers continue to grow and that's particularly true among conservatives and young conservatives. So it's more dangerous now, of course. And this money, probably this new money to Israel, a lot of it, even though it won't come into the pipe for a few years, a lot of it is with the inevitable war with Iran in mind. Nevertheless, there is a limited window of time, I think that they can continue to operate with impunity.
C
I think you're right. There is this like. And they take advantage of it too. Do you notice, like the weekend that everyone in America is distracted by the horror of the assassination of Charlie Kirk? What happened while we weren't looking? Absolute destruction. One of the largest bombing campaigns of the war so far in Gaza because we were all paying attention.
B
Plus Americans killed in Lebanon. Like we're supposed to be upset when.
E
Beautiful young family. I don't know if you saw the picture. Beautiful young family, beautiful kids.
C
Beautiful kids killed that Israel, Israel killed an American family in Lebanon.
E
And then the US Embassy.
B
We're supposed to care about.
C
Yeah.
E
Instead of being royally po, the US Embassy said, well, they're probably not really Americans. We're not sure. Whatever. Next question. Please change the subject. They just, they just don't care what's happening.
C
Dan McAdams, always great to see you. Thank you for being a clear headed voice in all of this. Our audience loves you. By the way. Thank you for being. Thank you, you know, for not being a sycophant. That's why we love you so much. You tell the truth. We appreciate it. Dan, great to see you.
E
Feeling is mutual.
C
Feeling is mutual.
E
Thanks, guys.
C
Thanks so much.
B
Coming up, we're going to talk about this new attack on Tucker Carlson saying that it's anti Semitic to say that powerful people killed Jesus. That's, that's literally all it. So I'm sorry, when did I miss it? That Jesus died of old age? Did that happen?
C
I guess.
B
Is that the new narrative?
C
Yeah. 33 years old. It was just old age that killed him. On that.
B
Did Jesus have a, a heart attack? I didn't understand that. Okay, we're going to review that, plus some lingering holes in the Charlie Kirk assassination. We are going to talk about the bullet trajectory, but Only briefly because I have other major questions that I want to address and then we will figure this out together. Mostly independents are going to handle this. Raise your hand if you believe the government will ever tell us the truth about that.
C
But first, I don't know if you guys saw gold hit a new all time high. I don't know if you saw that Russia and China now hit new stockpiles of gold. Over 2300. Yeah, 23 or 2,330 ounces of gold now in stockpiles in these central banks. Why? And then we saw the devaluing the US currency last week once again by the Fed, lowering interest rates. This is all part of a plan, of course, to devalue the US dollar. So all of this is happening, but like how are you as an American protecting your family right now? Are you, do you have money sitting in a US savings account and you're hoping that, hey May, that.01% interest rate that I'm getting or you're going to buy some treasury bonds which are also now dropping in value, that's how you're gonna protect your family's future? Or do you have a plan? And you know we've been sounding this alarm for years and I hope that many of you have paid attention to it and do whatever you want. I mean, but I've always been saying please start investing in tangible things. Gold, silver and real estate. Those things have sustained for 5,000 years. And I don't care what company you use, I don't care how you do it, just protect yourself. The government is lying to you and the US dollar is going to continue declining over the next few months. How are you preparing so I can tell you how Natalie and I prepare. We've been slowly for the past few years just acquiring precious metals, silver and gold. And silver particularly right now is still not at its all time high. And it just passed $40 an ounce for silver. Gold again hit a new all time high. So our friends at Lear Capital, again you can use any company you want. But these are who Lear is, who Natalie and I use to buy precious metals. You have it shipped right to your front door or you can have it stored in an off site guarded facility. Totally up to you. And now up to six states are now allowing you to transact in gold, Florida being one of them. So states across the country are saying we're allowing you to use US dollars and also gold. And JP Morgan, bank of America saying that gold is going to hit over $4,000 an ounce, up to $4,500 an ounce. Perhaps in the next few months. Anyway, give Lear a call. They're a fantastic American company. Again, no pressure. Just talk to them. They're an American company that wants to have a conversation with you. Imagine that. Just get on the phone and they'll walk you through it. They'll hold your hand through the whole process. They'll talk to you about what's right for your family. Call them 1-800-613-3557 to get your free precious metals guide. They'll send it right to your door. You can talk about it with your spouse, your loved ones, or you can go to the website learedacted.com and you can receive up to $15,000 in free bonus medals with a qualified purchase. We've been using them for years. Again, no pressure. This is one of those companies that even if you buy the gold, they have a 24 hour period where if you bought it and you're like, I changed my mind. I want to go back to US Dollars, right? No questions asked. They will. They will. They will cancel your transaction. No pressure at all. No questions asked. Call them today. 1-800-613-3557. Our thanks.
B
Beyond that, actually, we made an error in one of our investments. In an IRA was like a transaction you're not supposed to make in this certain year. They totally undid it for us. They didn't charge me anything. They didn't ask any questions. My accountant said, oh, you're not allowed to do this in this year. I wrote them, they took care of it. I have all the documentation in the case of an audit. I was like, really? I thought this was going to be horrible. And it wasn't. And it was absolutely my mistake to make this in an ira. So anyhow, I just want to put that.
C
Yes, great company. Anyway, you do you. Again, no pressure, but they're a big supporter of our show and that's who we personally use. So thanks to learning. All right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Oh, is it all right? I am fed up and I'm pissed off at the attacks on my friend Tucker Carlson. I'm done. So this weekend at Charlie Kirk's funeral, Tucker Carlson gave what I thought was one of the most heartfelt, powerful, really short, like eight minute speech that you will ever hear.
B
It was three minutes.
C
No, it wasn't three minutes. The whole speech was like eight minutes long. Anyway, I thought this was one of the most heartfelt and powerful eight minute speeches you'll ever hear comparing the Silencing of Jesus Christ, the murder of Jesus Christ to the murder 2,000 years later of Charlie Kirk. And after what happened right after that, like clockwork. A coordinated smear campaign, social media accounts all sounding like they were reading from the exact same source script rushed, rushed to social media. It's like they copy and pasted this stuff, saying his eulogy, Tucker's eulogy was anti Semitic, anti Israel. But here's the problem. Tucker never said anything about the Jews and he never mentioned Israel once. And yet within hours, of course, the destroy Tucker machine was in full gear. Tucker's spreading blood libel. Tucker's got a mental condition. Tucker's laugh proves that he's unstable. It was all copy and paste hysteria. And back when I used to co host with Tucker Carlson. I've been friends with him for years. If I made a joke, he would laugh. He'd always laugh like that. That's his laugh. Now he's mentally unstable because he laughed. Okay, it was all copy and pasted hysteria. And it tells you one thing. They are terrified of Tucker's message. Friend of the show, Owen Schroyer noticed it as well. He posted this. Why is my entire timeline a never ending flow of attacks on Tucker Carlson? And it was like if you went to the for you feed of Twitter yesterday or do it right now, it's just like all copy and pasted attacks on Tucker Carlson. Who's funny. I'd love to know what else is.
A
Weird about it is they're posting all this during a memorial.
C
Right? I know, I couldn't believe that too. Like, people are saying they're tweeting during a memorial, they're taking pictures with their friends and they're posting about like, yeah, that really, that really bothered me. Of course. And especially because so many of those people were in the room that were posting these messages. So we're going to play Tucker's remarks in his own words. We clipped down like a three minute version of his larger speech so you can hear them unedited. Because if you only read the Twitter spin, then you'd think he stood up at a funeral and blamed Jews for killing Jesus. He didn't. He was talking about silence, censorship, the gospel message itself. The powerful people who collaborated to kill Jesus. I should point out that most people didn't even watch Tucker's speech. And you can see it in their responses, by the way. They didn't even watch it. They said like, oh, I didn't watch it, but wow, I can't believe he attacked the Jews. He's a horrible man for blaming Israel. I didn't watch the speech, but he's horrible. Okay. Anyway, they admitted they didn't watch the speech, so we're going to play just a section of it here, watch.
A
And Charlie would have loved this. Not just because he loved large groups of people, but because ultimately he was a Christian evangelist. And it actually reminds me of my favorite story ever. So it's about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem and Jesus shows up and he starts talking about the people in power and he starts doing the worst thing that you can do, which is telling the truth about people. And they hate it and they just go bonkers. They hate it and they become obsessed with making him stop. This guy's got to stop talking. We've got to shut this guy up. And I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about what do we do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking. And there's always one guy with the bright idea. And I could just hear him say, I've got an idea. Why don't we just kill him? That'll shut him up. That'll fix the problem. It doesn't work work that way. It doesn't work that way. Everything is inverted. And the Beatitudes tell it, I think the most crisply. Everything is sort of the opposite of what you think it's going to be. Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted. That is true and you can feel it here. The thing about Charlie's message, I've thought a lot about it and I'm trying not to be emotional because in addition to everything else, he was a wonderful man and a decent man and one of those rare people you meet who, who you just groove with in conversation and have these very intense conversations that you don't stop thinking about, which is my experience with him. But the main thing about Charlie and his message, he was bringing the gospel to the country. He was doing the thing that the people in charge hate most, which is calling for them to repent. So how is Charlie's message different? And Charlie was a political person who was deeply interested in coalition building and in getting the right people in office, because he knew that vast improvements are possible politically, but he also knew that politics is not the final answer. It can't answer the deepest questions, actually, that the only real solution is Jesus. And the reason it's really simple. Politics at its core is a process of critiquing other people and getting them to change Christianity. The Gospel message. The message of Jesus begins with repentance. Christianity calls upon you to change.
B
Our.
A
Core prayer given to us by Jesus. The Lord's Prayer demands that we forgive other people. But preceding that is a request for our forgiveness. In other words, forgive us our sins, meditate on what we've done wrong, how we've fallen short, and then it becomes possible to forgive other people.
C
If you watched the speech, you heard it. No mention of Jews, no mention of Israel. Instead, he talked about how Charlie Kirk was silenced, murdered, and how that's not Unlike what happened 2000 years ago. Jesus preached a radical message of truth and the powers of the day couldn't stand it, so they conspired to kill him. That's not blood libel. That's the Bible. That's the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It's history. Let's just lay out exactly what the scripture says here. Powerful religious leaders in Jerusalem, Jewish elders, priests, scribes, and Pharisees, wanted Jesus gone. Why? Because he threatened their authority. Jewish elders, priests, scribes, and Pharisees couldn't have someone with more power than them. So the leaders pushed the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, to execute Jesus. But of course, Pilate was, you know, famously, famously resisted this. He famously said, I find no fault in this man. But he caved to the mob, the Rome carried out the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. That's the story. That's what Tucker was referencing. So to say that even speaking the gospel is somehow anti Semitic is absurd. If that's the new standard, then every Christian reading the Bible on Sunday morning, I guess, is guilty of some kind of hate speech. So you see what he's saying. He's drawing a parallel. Charlie Kirk was mocked, smeared, censored, eventually murdered for spreading the very same message that Jesus preached. Tucker's message was that it didn't silence him. In fact, it made him stronger. And Tucker laughed to the point. Like that. It was absurd. Like, that's why he was laughing. People like, oh, he was cackling. He was laughing at the absurdity of the plan. Let's kill this man who's preaching the truth. And it had the opposite effect. It grew into a worldwide movement. That's why Tucker laughed. Not because he has a mental condition. He's laughing at the absurdity of the plan. So Tucker's point is not about attacking a group of people. It's about warning us. Truth tellers are always targets. They tried to shut Charlie up, just like they tried to shut Jesus up. And the more they attack the more the truth spreads. That's how this works. But go online and you think Tucker had just launched into a neo Nazi rally. I mean here's just like a smattering of what flooded Twitter. This guy, I think the Trump administration should boycott him. No more access. And that awful cackle at the end is just cringe worthy. Jeremy says, did Tucker Carlson just accuse Jews of killing Christ? Killing Jesus during his speech at Charlie Kirk's memorial? Here's others. Everyone sees it. No excuses. Once again, Tucker Carlson finds a way to insinuate that Charlie Kirk's murder had something to do with the Jews anti seismic innuendo. Cackling like a chicken. Never appropriate, but even less so at a memorial service for a great man. And the hummus reference, Tucker. Hummus enters in Jerusalem killed Jesus. Hummus eaters in Jerusalem killed Jesus. Kind of like Charlie Kirk if you think about it. Manic laughter. That's not when the laughter took place actually. It was about the silencing of someone. Here's here. I don't know. We have more of these, just more of these. Take a look. Tucker Carlson is a modern day neo Nazi. What a disgusting and lonesome loathsome human being. To use Charlie Kirk's funeral to launch into an unhinged anti Semitic conspiracy theory tirade is unconscionable defilement of Charlie's memory and everything he stood for. So it's uncanny how all of these posts are like identical. Almost all of them were written by the same hand, by the same hand, copy and pasted attacks like here, we need you to send these things out.
B
Well, they've been handed the tools for months by the Anti Defamation League who have specifically said that if you promote the myth that Jews killed Jesus, then that is anti Semitism. So they heard what they've been fine tuned programmed to hear even though no group was mentioned. And again, we can talk about the Jewish groups that had a hand in the persecution of Jesus even though there were many Jewish followers of Jesus who did not want this. So we're not saying by and large, and we should also continue to talk about the Jewish current belief that Jesus did not give was not the Savior and they are still awaiting. We can continue to talk about that, but that was not said in this speech. They have been programmed to hear that and scream antisemitism it is. Let's tap in to your programming here on antisemitism, which will shut you down because once we say that, oh no, you can't go any further, you're hit with the brick wall that is anti Semitism. And so now we can't hear you.
C
People in our chat room though, definitely agree with Tucker's speech. Tucker's speech was great. Most people saying that. Absolutely. So it's uncanny how identical all these posts are. Almost as if they were written by the same hand, copy and pasted to tax. That's how you know, it's coordinated. I think they're covering up the truth about Charlie Kirk that yes, he was in lockstep with Israel, but it started in recent months to really call out the Jewish American lobby that felt funded a lot of liberal causes, a lot of Marxist causes. They don't want you to see clips like this. This was just days before he was assassinated. Charlie calling out the Jewish American lobby who had been funding a lot of these liberal Marxist things like Black Lives Matter. Watch. Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. Now, now, I don't like generalizations. Not every Jewish person believes that.
A
But it is true.
C
The Anti Defamation League was part and parcel with Black Lives Matter. It is true that some of the.
A
Largest financiers of left wing anti white.
C
Causes have been Jewish Americans.
A
They went all in on woke.
C
And it wasn't just adl. It was some of the top Jewish organizations in the country that have done that. In fact, in fact we have seen this with the recent retreat of Jewish donations that are no longer going to.
A
Be administered to colleges. Right.
C
Mark Rowan, Leon Koppelman. Can we get that full list?
A
Very powerful. The part of the. So that's totally true. And by the way, Tucker Carlson reinforces this.
C
So I'm going to kind of. It was quite a day on the Internet.
A
Tucker Carlson was interviewing Candace Owens.
C
We have Candace Owens coming up next hour.
A
And Tucker Carlson mentions that Jewish Americans.
C
Have primarily been financing cultural Marxist ideas.
A
We said this, by the way, last.
C
Week and people came after us. We actually said it in a different way.
A
We said I'm glad that Jewish Americans.
C
Are reconsidering their financing of cultural Marxism and people misunderstood it intentionally and slandered us as being anti Semites. But listen to this.
A
Tucker Carlson is completely correct by saying this that the philosophical foundation of anti whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish.
C
Donors in the country. Ooh, we can't say that. Don't want people to know that clip look redacted. Will never play that game. Tucker Carlson has an open invitation to join this show anytime he wants. We're not going to cancel him. We're not going to participate in this, you know, some fake outrage cycle because a man quoted a Bible verse at a funeral. And think about this. If you can twist a simple, like, gospel reference into hate speech, somehow rewrite history, then anything can be branded as hate speech. I mean, tomorrow it might be you or maybe the church. This, you know, this weekend, it doesn't really matter, or your pastor. Of course. This isn't about Tucker. This is about truth. It's about whether you're allowed to speak plainly about scripture, about faith, about history. I mean, people try to rewrite the history of the United States all the time. Try to rewrite the faith of our founding fathers all the time. And, you know, it's about being able to speak that way without being branded with labels meant to silence you. So we will not be silenced. And we have an open door policy here. Tucker's welcome on our show anytime. So the mob can try to twist the words all they want, but the tape doesn't lie. You just heard it for yourself.
B
You know something? Clayton and I, we took our family to dinner after the memorial, and we did watch all five hours, and we made sure that our children watched it too, because I felt like it was an important cultural moment. And I said, seeing this bad faith reaction playing out online of people who, I mean, I think it's okay to say that Tucker was nervous about some of the people who would be present at that event who have been coming for him because he's unwilling to stop asking questions about the Israeli government's influence in American life and politics. And then we saw that those people were waiting to take the opportunity to hit at his speech, right? To take. To deflate some of the power of his speech. And I said, as we were at dinner, I said, you know what? I feel so upset about this that I'm willing to walk myself over to the camp. That is, we will keep asking questions. And if Tucker Carlson is there and Candace Owens are there, I will stand there and I'm willing to plant my flag on that side. And anyone who wants to say those people need to shut up and those people are odious, then, you know, I'm. Then bring that at me as well. That's sort of how I felt. And Clayton was like, wow, that's not normally how Natalie speaks. But I felt that in that moment almost like, if this is the radical camp, I'm gonna stand there. So let me know how, how that struck you. And especially because of the holes in this story that we continue to have, which we're Gonna talk about after this. How do you feel?
C
Yeah, I mean, I just. I've been angry about it, and I just can't stand. I just don't like that. My whole for you feed was, like, filled with all of these, like, copy and pasted attacks on Tucker. Like, you know, it seemed, you know, that there's a massive amount of money behind it, you know, that these people are largely funded and they're pushing this out. They're getting it from somewhere, and it's a coordinated. And I can't stand that kind of stuff. I hate this sort of phony. Yeah, you know, like the. The phony posts and all of that garbage and the sort of coordinated attack against a friend of mine who is speaking the truth and is unafraid. You know, I'll just say something out of. He told me, you know, he told me the other day, and he said, you know, after Charlie's death, I kind of, you know, I just wanted to go to the woods. And he's like, But I had to stop myself. And he's like, because now is I need to stand up and I need to speak out, and I can't just, like, go to the woods and go fishing. Like, I need to stand up. And he's like, I realized I was sort of being, like, not scared is the right word, but just, well, you.
B
Can give yourself your reaction. The work will continue. It doesn't have to be in the first 48 hours. I feel like everybody can have their own grieving period in their own way.
C
Yeah. But it was like the vacuum was being filled by lies. You know, that's the thing. Like, and so that's what I think was really important for Tucker, was to tell the truth. And there it was being filled by lies. And you saw people like Netanyahu, like, coming out video after video, interview after interview. Like, oh, Charlie and I were great friends. He loved it. No, he didn't. He was not your good friend. Tell the truth, you liar.
A
Do you find it? I don't know if you. You have the same experience, but, like, anytime I go on X now, all I see is Laura Loomer. And then on Friday, I got an email from Laura Loomer. And I'm like, I'm not on any list. Like, how in the hell did I get any? And I responded, and I was like, how in the hell did you get my email address? Like, I don't even know how it happened.
C
That's what people in the chat room, they're like, yeah, Laura Loomer is like, all over the timeline. I mean, come on. It's like, why are these things being elevated and promoted everywhere?
B
Right? The thing that really I felt was such bad form was there was someone. I don't remember, the creator said, massive, thunderous applause for Tucker as he takes the stage. And afterwards. And then she retweeted that and said, not really. I was in the room. A lot of people don't like him. And I was like, this is someone's memorial. You know, you don't. This is not how it. I mean, I know. I hope that there is a more private ceremony and that. That's not. But do you have any decorum? Is this the time to say, like, no, that guy's not popular here. I just don't understand that. So, anyhow, if that. If that makes me, you know, a target of. Of those people, I don't know, you know, No, I don't want that, but I don't see this as useful.
C
Yeah. All right, well, we. We got more news to get to here. We're going to talk and look at the holes in the Charlie Kirk assassination story. There's still a lot of unanswered questions. And, you know, we've gone through the funeral service, we've gone through the memorial service, and yet we're being sort of told to just, like, move along, don't ask questions anymore. But there are a lot of questions still outstanding. By the way, when will we have a medical examiner's report? Like, how long does it take to get a medical examiner's report? 12 days later. Right, okay. Anyway, we're going to tackle that.
B
But first, first, we want to tell you about our friends over at Chapter, because did you know that millions of seniors are on the wrong Medicare plan? Most don't even know it. And in fact, Trump's Department of Justice sued me, three major Medicare brokers for allegedly claiming to be unbiased while secretly steering seniors towards the plans with the biggest kickbacks for them. Well, Chapter does not do that, and that's why we've partnered with them. They don't work for the government. They don't work for big insurance. They work for you. They're the only advisors that compare every Medicare plan nationwide to find out what's best for you, and they'll even help you if you're hit with wrongful medical bills. That's real advocacy. They've saved the average senior $1,100 per year. And in fact, one of our good friends use chapter. They're saving thousands going forward. And the best part is that this is a free service. All it takes is 20 minutes of your time. Call them. Figure out what they can teach you, what they can advocate for you. Can they look over your plan and see. See if you're on the right one. Call them at 202-655-5811 to connect with the only Medicare advisors we trust here at Redacted. You'll be glad you did. And in fact, most people in our audience say they wish they'd called sooner. So you can go to ask chapter.org redacted or call the number on your screen. Once again, that's ask chapter.org redacted I'm.

Well, here's something haunting about the Charlie Kirk memorial. This is something that I felt as I watched this personally is we don't know if someone in that room knows something or betrayed him in some way. As a representative of the Deep state. We know that the FBI narrative does not make sense. That's why there's this unease at watching this. It is not. I don't think this bodes well for the Republican Party, even though there were those who sort of used it as the opportunity to validate the Republican Party. I feel like this is a hole that needs to be answered. I am glad that Republicans are the ones who are leading the charge to ask it. Here is one post. This is a long one, but it's worth looking into and reading. I only clipped the first part. This person said he was sitting there. There's a video here of his seat and his angle. And he says everyone here is mad because we don't feel like we trust the government. We're here because we very much feel moved by Charlie Kirk. What we don't feel like is that this is the government that will give us the answers. And. And there he says the atmosphere was despondent. I think this could mean trouble for the Trump administration because it did not coalesce opposition to the left. President Trump did say that, but that, I don't think was the temperature of the whole event. It sort of increased government suspicion. The only message that seemed to have universal support. Support was the spiritual one. The government narrative, however, felt hollow because of these gaps. Now, FBI Director Cash Patel didn't really do much to help this when he posted this just before the event. What he's saying here, and you can read this for yourself, is a bunch of blah, blah, blook about how they're going to look at all angles. There's still stuff we don't know. You know, probably he sees these holes, too, you would hope. But if you think that he's going to come and be forthcoming with these holes, I've got a bridge to sell you because this is what he said last week about Jeffrey Epstein, and I about fell out of my chair.
C
You've seen most of the files. Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to besides himself? Himself? There is no credible information.
B
None.
C
If there were, I would bring the case yesterday that he trafficked to other individuals. And the information we have, again, is limited.
A
So the answer is no one.
C
For the information that we have in the files, in the case file.
B
Okay, now, I. There are no words for. For my reaction to that. He. So why is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison? Why. Why is Prince Andrew. What? What?
C
Don't ask questions. Don't ask questions.
B
So my confidence in the FBI is low. Go ahead, Philip, please.
C
I was just going to Say, I just think Cash Patel, like, with the. Like the holes in the Charlie Kirk assassination and then the. All of the holes in the Epstein files. It's like he's not interested in investigating where the holes come from or what they mean. He's just interested in plugging them and moving on.
B
Yeah, right, right. There are holes there. Okay, let's. Let's move on. What do I need to say on TV next? Okay, so we're being given strange stories about the bullet itself. Let's start there. One question that serious thinkers are grappling with is the exit wound. If the weapon was indeed a Mauser Model 98 bolt action rifle, there would seem to have been an exit wound and quite likely others hit by the trajectory of this. But there wasn't. Why. So a turning point spokesperson says the bullet did not go through because Charlie's body miraculously stopped that. So here is that post. You know, we have been given a lot of rumblings about Charlie Kirk being immortalized as a saint. So are they going to now sell us that there's some kind of superhuman, he says right there in the center, it didn't go through. Charlie's body stopped it. His body bone density was so healthy. And we have been told that he was a very healthy man. He didn't drink. He didn't like to eat junk food. He liked to run a lot. So, okay, you can make yourself a cyborg that can stop bullets, but they don't. You can stop them, but that doesn't stop that killing you. Some of the community notes on that post are enlightening. Like, that's literally not. Not possible. There are many credible ballistic experts that say that this shot could not have done that, that this shot could not have come from the. From the front. I'm gonna put a pin on that because neither of us are experts here. We should not be saying one thing or the other. We can bring experts that will bring contextualization of this. But I don't feel ready to argue that Clayton feels a little bit more strongly about this. His bones stopped it bit. Do you want to say anything about that, or should we wait?
C
I mean, look, I haven't seen a medical examiner's report, an autopsy.
B
Right.
C
I'm just going off of what I'm hearing from sources who spoke to the surgeon who worked on his body and where the trajectory of the bullet hit him in the chest, hit a bone, fractured his vertebrae, broke into pieces of fragments and exited through his neck. That's what we were reporting kind of right early on. With FBI ballistics experts right at the very beginning that he was shot in the front, hit a bone hit went. Traveled up his spine, destroyed his spine, hit like, destroyed, like four or five vertebrae, exited out of his neck. You know, unless I see some evidence otherwise. Again, we don't have a medical examiner's report, so I'm not going to throw my hat into the I know exactly what happened crowd.
B
Right. You know, I feel very uncomfortable with this. He was capable of superhuman bone density. I feel very uncomfortable with that. So I'm going to say I put that on a. On a scale of 1 to 10. Believable scale. Maybe you could put a number in the chat. What you're. I'm going with a one on that. Where would you put it?
C
The bone density?
B
Yeah, that the bone stopped it. That it.
C
I don't think it stopped it. I think we clearly.
B
That's literally what he said.
C
Well, okay, but I think then Alex Jones followed up with him and had a conversation afterwards where he clarified that it, like, it broke into pieces and fragments. So it didn't, like, stop it. Like, the bullet just were. Like, whoa, man. Charlie Kirk's the man of steel just stopped. I think there are. There are reports from the surgeon that there were bone fragments, there were fragments found at the scene, and there were fragments found out, and that all of.
B
That is still in there. Okay. All right, then an autopsy would show us that the bullet is still there. Can you put the live chat on instead of. Because I want to see what. Like, what numbers are we coming with in the unbelievability?
C
Well, Mike Hawk. Well, like Mike Hawk says here, man of steel. They say his next stopped a 36. Ryan round. Yeah.
B
Okay. No, I want to see the numbers.
C
Can you. What numbers?
B
I asked on a 1 to 10 scale, where are we putting these? You guys are putting these at negatives. Some people think zero, I feel. And Clayton's in the. I would say in our conversation, Clayton's in the 0 to 5. And I am about a 0.25. Like.
C
Well, I'm not buying the story that it stopped a bullet. I'm. I'm. My point is that no, his body inside. Inside was ripped apart by a bullet. So I don't exactly know. Like, his body didn't stop the bullet there.
B
Like a pinball. Like, boing, boing, boing, boing, boing. You're dead. Now. That's. I don't think that that's how that.
C
That does happen. I mean, that's. That's not an uncommon occurrence. For a bullet, a bullet to strike a bone and then ricochet out. So the, the exit, the entry and exit wound for a bullet is not always a straight line. It probably rarely is. Okay, so. Because as you know, again, I come back to, I'm not an expert in this. Kyle Serafin, former FBI whistleblower, FBI ballistics expert, said on our show that from everything he's heard and seen, it was, went right in his chest, struck bone tore right up and like, you know, spins around when. Because it's still rotating. So it's going like in a weird. Then it's all pattern. Struck his, struck his spine, destroyed his spine, went up and out his neck.
B
Okay.
C
Until I see evidence otherwise, that's, that's what I'm.
B
All right. I really don't, I don't want to get to. Because we don't know here on this show. So let's go to the things that do not make sense. Now this is something that Candace Owens has been putting together on her own timeline, and I can't get it out of my head is that the authorities say, according to the indictment and the authorities statements, that the shooter turned himself in 33 hours later. They keep signaling to us it was 33 hours between the time he took the shot and that he walked in to turn his himself in. And then they raided the house of his rumor love of him and his lover roommate. And then they released the lover free and clear. And then the governor went on TV to say they got him. So I just wrote this out because it seems so unbelievable. So the assassination happens 12:23pm on Wednesday, September 10th. Then you add those 33 hours and then he walks in and turns himself in. 33 hours later is the next day at 9, let's say 9:30 at night, alleged shooter turns himself in. Now he goes, they talk to him for a bit and then a few hours later they're like, well, I guess we're going to have to raid your house and take in your roommate. That doesn't happen. They say a few hours. So it can't be an hour later. It has to be at least two hours after he turns himself in. The raid cannot happen at his house until at least 11:30 at night, 11:30 on Thursday. So then eight hours later, we have Utah Governor Cox going on TV and say, we got him all good. We have everything. We got his computer. We raided the house and the roommate was released. So this raid happens in the middle of the night. They take all his computers. Now, they told us they're very Active on discord, on Reddit, on all kinds of social media. They were able to look through everything, look, take all the forensics, everything, and release the roommate in eight hours at the very least. The most generous is eight hours. That seems wrong to me. The BBC ran this article interviewing people who lived in and around the house that was raided. And there was a woman who said, yeah, it's kind of weird. I was walking, I was out for an evening walk and I heard the feds break in and say, freeze, come out. Now. An evening walk at 11pm at the earliest. This could have been 11:30 because they said a few hours, 9:30, he turns himself in a few hours later, they start the raid close to midnight, and there's a woman on a woman walk who heard it. Okay, that's kind of unbelievable, right? And then Ada and again, look at this timestamp on the press conference of Governor Cox, 8am the next morning. So you're telling me that between 11:30 at night and 8am you've been through everything. You did all the questioning, you look through all the forensics, and we got him. It's good. Just this guy, not that guy. We're feeling good about this. How do you feel about that? That's the thing I can't get over, is, no, you can't be done if he doesn't come in till 9:30. No, you cannot be done.
C
No. But this is what I did a video on last week. It's like, you're moving so quickly to wrap up this investigation that you're like, oh, we got our guy. Lone Gunman. Good, we're all finished here. Nothing to see here. Move along like, we've done. We completed everything. And then of course, you get the BLOWBack from the FBI after that news started coming out, like, we're done here. Lone Gunman. And then Cash Patel releases that big statement that says, no, no, we're going to continue to pull every thread. We're going to look down every rabbit hole and continue to unravel this thing as much as we can.
B
Right?
A
And forensics is not a fast thing. You know, like forensics.
B
You're echoing badly, David.
A
Yeah, forensics takes a long time. Like it doesn't matter what you're doing forensics on, I mean, a laptop because, like, they also got to look at the connection. Like you said, discord. There's other connections involved and they didn't go down any kind of connection route to be like, okay, we need to question this person, this person, this person, at the very least, question Them, which would take hours to find them, talk to them.
B
Right, right.
C
And how many of them like, lawyered up? And like, I mean, again, that's. That could take a long time. You're going to subpoena these individuals to get in from it. Because if, like, you know, like Kyle, you know, Kyle Seraphin always says he's like, you should never talk to the FBI. So like if, like the FBI and investigators come to your house, be like, sorry, call my lawyer. And like, so how long will that take? You're going to go through a subpoena process and have a discussion? Could take weeks, months, you know, could take years to get to the bottom of that. But no, you, you did it overnight.
B
Right? And don't you. This is part I haven't looked into. So please enlighten me if you know something about this, but don't they need permission to go and raid somebody's house if he walks in at 9:30 and then it's like, oh, I guess we're gonna have to go to your house. Let's get that together. You're gonna have to get that from a judge. That takes a while. Right? So, so. And then they got that they have everything and they're satisfied. They've done it overnight. You would think that the interview lasts at least that long. And the governor's ready, TV camera ready, because he had. They had to be ready to say something to the press at least an hour earlier. Get the press in a room, say, we're going to say something that takes at least an hour. So you're telling me that it started at midnight and they were done by 7am ready to give this full, this, this fully baked story. I cannot buy that. Not to mention the fact. And I have not looked from. Yeah, please.
A
Oh, well.
C
So, well, because Tyler Robinson, they were even saying it was like, like at the time, he's not talking, which means it's not like he went in and confessed he was turned in. But even if somebody comes in and confesses, they still need to verify it because they've already had two suspects they picked up that were the wrong person. So, like, at that point, like, even with a confession, they still have to verify it. And if he's not talking, how could they verify anything that quickly? Right? Exactly. He's not cooperating, he's not talking. How do you verify that? That means you must have overwhelming evidence through text messages. You must have an overwhelming abundance of forensic evidence, DNA evidence, everything. We don't need this guy to talk because we've got so much evidence that we don't need him to open his mouth and sing like a bird.
B
Right. And you would think, like Philip said, they had the wrong guy twice. They might be. Let's. Let's be a little bit more careful with this one. And they're complete convinced, completely convinced that the roommate had nothing to do with it. Right. And then they give us this text exchange, which some people online. I find this funny because we did go over some of the ludicrous nature of this text exchange. Like, my love, I will be getting my vehicle and change my outfit. That instead of that, they asked AI to write a believable text exchange of people in their 20s. And that AI might have mistakenly thinking, thought that it was people in the 1920s, because that is more the lexicon. People who might say, squad car, like really got that coppery. Oh, like the Dick Tracy era. Again, that in and of itself is ridiculous enough. They should apologize to us for that, because that doesn't make sense. And again, another thing is, if this is your lover that you're talking about, you don't need to say in a text. My dad has been so maga lately. This is something you have been talking about at home for a long time. Clayton and I talk about our parents politics all the time. It's not something I would ever need to enlighten him about in a text. Right. That also, these holes are. These are not. Okay, so, yeah, let me know what you think of these things. We're not going to let them go.
C
Well, I want a medical examiner's report. Like, give me. Give me a medical examiner's report so we can actually study it and we can have real answers as to what actually. I mean, so a number of people witnessed it. Saw, saw the wound. They know exactly where he was shot. You know, we need some clarity on that from a medical examiner's report. How many, you know, how many fragments were inside all of that. Where was the exit wound? Was it on his neck? All of those pieces of it. So, yeah.
B
And for me, again, this. I just. I didn't get to make this point. Is that the BBC woman who said she was just out for an evening stroll? If you were going to go out for a stroll, would you. At midnight. Midnight is when this had to have happened. Would you call it an evening stroll? Can you put the chat, please? I want to. I want this to. We're working on this together. Yeah. Would you say if you were out walking the dog or walking by yourself? And the fact that this woman, Sherry Steele, Candace Owens researchers were never able to find the existence of such woman in this complex in this area. So I have not looked for myself. But the fact that she doesn't seem to have been able to be found is interesting because. Why did you hear this raid happen in the middle of the night? It's this seven hour bit that I can't. That's. This is. You know, there's always something where like, nope, that I'm with you. This is not okay, this to me.
C
Is it some people saying, well, I would not, I wouldn't. Would not even believe the medical examiner's report.
B
I'm with you on that too. Yeah.
C

B
They're not. They're not buying this.
C
They're not buying yet.
B
They are not buying a single piece of it. Not the superhuman bone density, not the no exit wound, not the no 007.
C
Kyle, thank you for your $10. Super chat says if we. If we never found out about Building 7, do you honestly believe we'll ever know the truth about poor Charlie? Great, good point.
B
Well, we never found it out from the government. We found it out from ourselves though, right?
C
Yeah.
B
So we trust our narrative that we have researched. So we may. We may never get validation from the.
A
Government, but the JFK assassination is a good indicator. Like we still don't have answers to. I mean, we know, but we don't have answers for official answers from the government for that. How many years ago was that?
B
Yeah.
C
Yeah. Well, was it 70? Well, no. How many years ago was the 63. Someone do some quick math on that. 1963. Yeah. And they already covered up the crime scene. They were already out there like pouring concrete and putting down new slabs and putting down new pavers and everything like that. It's crazy. It's insane. Raymond. Raymond Rohrer, five dollar Super Chat says a survey who is a bigger threat to the US, Putin or Netanyahu?
B
I would go Netanyahu by far, leaps.
C
And bounds by the way.
B
The amount of time I spend awake at night about what Putin's going to do is not long, not a lot. I don't lose a lot of sleep.
C
No. And yes, they are. They have been moving medium range missiles more, they've been bringing more and even the hypersonics into Belarus. Some people were wondering about that from the Putin side. They just ran that joint nuclear exercise they did with Belarus. Let's see. 1. I don't know how to say your $5 super chat. The People's Voice, October 12 video of IDF helicopters shooting down Israeli festival goers. Yeah. I mean we know that there was, you know, large amount of deaths, the most amount of deaths on that day were thanks to Israeli helicopters firing on individuals. Joy of Lord is my strength says Putin does doesn't keep me up at night. That's right.
B
Not really, no. It's our own reaction to what Putin does that keeps me up at night. So anyhow. All right, let us know what you think if there's something we're missing. There's a lot of conversations that were tagged on, on X and I'm finding it challenging. But I want to stick with this. So let's do that collectively.
C
Yeah. And I just want to bring an update on a story we were following here at Redacted and I think the ostriches. Yeah, I mean people are reporting that this is happening. I'm trying to get, I'm trying to get answers on the latest on this because our friends who are running the ostrich farm, universal ostrich farm in, in Canada where they're trying to cull the 400 ostriches. They've been worried all weekend. Someone's in the chat saying it's happening at this moment. I don't know. But apparently police have cut the power to the ostrich farm and they are trying to get in there and to basically kill all of These ostriches, the 400 of them, the government over the weekend. So it's so terrible. We were trying, we were doing everything we could here to try to get awareness about it. RFK Jr stepping in, all of that. But it is the Canadian government, after all, that's going after these people. So hopefully we'll have an update on that. Hopefully tomorrow on the show. I'm just praying that they haven't gone in there and tried to kill all these animals.
B
Oh, but you know who was saved? Jimmy Kimmel seems to be scheduled to go back on the air on Tuesday of this week. I'm so thankful that the coastal media elites are being saved. This is a really near and dear cause to my heart. You know, I was worried that he wouldn't find work about his free speech. And now Jimmy Kimmel's coming back to the air. You guys, the media elites got their way. They threw a big fit. Who's happy for that?
C
Bucker Bill says, I think you're missing how Trump and Peter Thiel, along with their databases of big, beautiful databases. Will there ever be a piece on redacted about this? Actually, tomorrow there will be. And actually we covered it months ago on this show. So we've done, I think we've done multiple pieces on it, but we had Whitney Webb diving deep into it. Mark Goodwin as well. But Mark is going to be on the show hopefully tomorrow. We're going to go into this biometric database. There's obviously moving right now through Europe right now to move people to a biometric database and to move to a cashless society. So I think that that's coming. Looks like the seat. You're messaging me about something.
B
Yeah, I'm annoyed that you keep stopping the chat and then I'm trying to read what people can react with our chat.
C
Okay, then just let it run. I can't read the chat.
B
Make a note of something. I'm not going to make a react to.
C
I'm not going to take the time to type out a note in a notes file so I can then read it. I'm just going to read it live.
B
But then you stop it. I can't interact with anything. So it's just about your need to interact with the chat and nobody maybe we can get. We have to share these screens.
C
There's a mouse right here that you can grab marriage.
B
Then put the mouse right there. This is like now joint remote control.
C
Right here on this side of the table.
B
No, this is.
C
You can take the mouse and you can read the chat.
B
Okay. I'll say something. Something like who's upset about this? Or how do you guys feel about this? And you pause the chat so that I can't. So Then it's very rude to our audience.
C
Oh, okay.
B
Don't you think, you guys, you know, take.
C
Take a look. You always have to apologize if you're a man. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, audience. I did not mean to pause the chat.
B
And. And I didn't want to have this argument in front of our audience, so that's why I sent you this nasty text. You called me out.
C
Exactly. Not playing that game. Anyway, by the way, I think according to reports, the CFIA is entering the. The premises for the. For the culling of these ostriches. So awful. Anyway, we'll have an update on that in Canada tomorrow on the show. Just awful. All right, thank you guys for joining us today. Thanks for. Thanks for. Thanks for chatting because I always read all your chat messages. I really appreciate when you guys interact in the chat room. And I like to pause it and I'd like to, like, sink it in and then, like, read it and then read it to you guys. So that's how much I love you guys. We'll see you guys tomorrow, everyone. Bye.

Hosts: Clayton Morris, Natali Morris
Key Guests: Col. Douglas Macgregor, Dan McAdams
This episode of Redacted News dives deeply into escalating global tensions, beginning with Russia's deployment of mid-range missiles to Belarus amid deteriorating relations with NATO. Hosts Clayton and Natali Morris, joined by military analyst Col. Douglas Macgregor, aggressively dissect the chaos within NATO, U.S. foreign aid to Israel, and skepticism surrounding official narratives such as the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The theme throughout is clear: questioning establishment stories, exposing hypocrisy and incompetence at the highest levels, and demanding honesty in media and politics.
Timestamps: 03:55 – 15:43
"Strategic stability in the world has begun to deteriorate due to the destructive steps of the West. ... Russia has warned the west again and again, but its initiatives had not yet received a clear response." — Clayton reading Putin's statement, [04:17]
Timestamps: 07:03 – 15:43
"NATO really doesn't have any cards to play. ... If you come in here with troops, we'll destroy them. If you attack us directly, we'll level you." — Macgregor, [08:10]
"Sikorsky's made a fool of himself. ... all of the Europeans have. I don't think they have anywhere to go." — Macgregor, [09:16]
"The globalists saw the last few months as a last ditch opportunity to drag the United States into a ground war in Ukraine. That's dead. That's not going to happen. That's over." — [12:47]
Timestamps: 09:21 – 12:05
"[START] limits the numbers of weapons they can build, launchers they can use ... that's, frankly, a good thing ... the Europeans are right. This is something we shouldn't abandon." — Macgregor, [09:40]
Timestamps: 12:13 – 16:44

Redacted’s tone is defiantly populist, combative, and direct. The hosts employ humor and real-time audience interaction, often reading chat comments and inviting skepticism:
"Let me know what you think of these things. We're not going to let them go." — Natali, [79:27]
Their complaints about media silence, labels used to silence critics, and governmental double standards exude frustration:
This episode is an aggressive deconstruction of major geopolitical crises: from crumbling NATO alliances in the face of Russian and Chinese assertiveness, to U.S. policy hypocrisy on Israel and the suspiciously pat answers provided for the assassination of a prominent conservative activist.

It’s a must-listen for those suspicious of mainstream coverage, interested in critical geopolitical analysis, and wanting unfiltered opinions on the fault-lines shaping today’s world.
