A lot of moving parts right now, both on the Trump administration side. With this Iranian war, there's a lot of finger pointing happening. It was Hegseth's fault, it's Jared Kushner's fault that we went to war in Iran. Meanwhile, Iran doesn't care about any of the infighting. They are striking ships as we speak and have launched massive missile strikes over the past 24 hours. Where does this thing go? Steve Witkoff says, I don't know. I don't know where this thing ends or how it ends. So that's encouraging. On the United States side, I love

starting fights that I don't know how I'm going to see through. That's how I operate inside my own house.

That's right. That's true.

We got Colonel Doug McGregor is going to be here and we've got a whole slew of guests that we're going to be sharing with you in just moments. But yeah, we're going to take the latest look at what's happening inside of Tehran as well. There's, there's of course, a media blackout on what's happening around the world, what's happening in Israel. We're not allowed to see it. It's kind of bizarre. We got. We had more videos during the Gulf war than we have right now. Exactly right. Where's Wolf Blitzer with a microphone live where the action is happening? I guess we don't have it.

Download it today, open an account, step away from the big corrupt banks for good. Wallet.rumble.com or search rumble Wallet in the App Store. That is the place to do it. Okay, well, we've got a lot of news to get to. We want to start by talking about Iran striking back and doubling down on a massive missile attack that has targeted. Of course, the mainstream media is totally ignoring on this. They're not going to show you any of this. Iran struck ships near the Strait of Hormuz that tried to sneak through, basically. IRGC Navy commander says two ships attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz today. They were stopped. The Iranian Shahid 136 suicide drones have hit an oil storage facility at the port in Oman. You can see it here. Watch this. This was captured live at the time as the strike hit that oil reserves in Oman. Meanwhile, the TASM news agency, which is tied to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, says offices and data centers of companies like Google, Microsoft, Palantir, IBM, Nvidia and Oracle are now considered legitimate targets due to their alleged Israeli ties and military ties, of course. Many of these companies, of course, are backed by the CIA or were started by the CIA or darpa. So Iran considers these legitimate targets. And especially if Microsoft is helping with any sort of targeting, if Palantir is helping with any sort of autonomous strikes on anything, they consider these legitimate targets. This is payback, they say, for the attack on Iran's bank, the data center, the CPAP data center. So meanwhile, President Trump is now hitting the panic button. By the way, I'm having, because my, my current computer that has all my notes in front of me is, is being occupied. So I'm having to look across at a monitor like 30ft away from me. So if you see me looking over here, that's what I'm doing. But President Trump is hitting the panic button. Trump now basically blaming Pete Hegseth, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff for the United States attacking Iran. Like you're getting your data and intel from Jared Kushner, but hey, he threw them under the bus today.
- [06:39]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
Listen, the situation was very quickly approaching
- [06:44]
Dan McAdams
the point of no return and the
- [06:45]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
United States found it intolerable, in my opinion, based on what Steve and Jared and Pete and others were telling me, Marco so involved that I thought that they were going to attack us. I thought they would if we didn't do this at the time we did it, I think they had in mind to attack us. And.
- [07:05]
Host
Yeah, okay, so Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Pete Hegseth, thrown under the bus. So then Steve Witkoff on TV today was asked, you know, like, what is the end game here for this plan? Like, I guess the President thinks, like, you're the main. One of the main advisors in all of this. So, like, what.
- [07:20]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
What it.
- [07:21]
Host
Like, what is the goal here? And he couldn't answer that. Watch.
- [07:25]
Co-host/Natalie
So how do you see this ending this war?
- [07:31]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
I don't know, Sarah. I know this.
- [07:35]
Host
That President Trump is the wrong guy to go up against. That's what I know.
- [07:38]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
He.
- [07:39]
Host
Okay, so little like red meat for the MAGA crowd. I guess Trump's the wrong guy to go up against. Okay,
- [07:49]
Co-host/Natalie
they didn't go up against him. We. We came after them.
- [07:52]
Host
Right.
- [07:52]
Co-host/Natalie
To begin with.
- [07:53]
Host
So did they start anything? I guess if you listen to them, they started this 47 years ago. Now it's 47 years. If you listen to Lindsay Graham and other neocons, it was 47 years ago right to the day that they started this. Meanwhile, new information about that school that was struck. You had Senator Kennedy coming out and apologizing on behalf of the United States saying this was a huge mistake, and we apologize for that. This was awful. So Senator Kennedy got out in front of this, even though they're investigating this, and now it has been confirmed by the Pentagon that, in fact, yes, the United States did strike and kill those little children at that little girl's school. Absolutely awful. With a Tomahawk missile strike and multiple strikes with that double tap strike as rescuers were combing through the rubble. President Trump then was asked about that today, and I don't know, it's like he's out to lunch or something. Watch.
- [08:45]
Co-host/Natalie
A new report says that the military investigation has found that the United States struck the school in Iran. As commander in chief, you take responsibility for that.
- [08:54]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
That is what.
- [08:56]
Co-host/Natalie
As commander in chief, do you?
- [08:57]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
For what?
- [08:58]
Co-host/Natalie
For the strike on the school in Iran. A new report says the military investigation has found it was the United States that struck the fool.
- [09:05]
Host
I don't know about it. I don't know about it. So, I mean, where is he getting this information?
- [09:11]
Co-host/Natalie
It was the first opening salvo. It's how we started. It was the first bullet shot. How can he not know? That's unbelievable. It's inconceivable.
- [09:25]
Host
Yeah, it is. Princess Bride inconceivable. So where do things stand now? Iran striking back massively, straight and foremost closed. We're hearing, of course, from Iran that no one's going to get through. Not a, according to them, not a drop of oil, not a single liter of oil will pass through the Strait of Hormuz for the benefit of the United States or Israel or their partners. Listen, That's not ambiguous at all. That's not any kind of double talk. Let's bring in Colonel Douglas McGregor and Daniel McAdams from the RON Paul Institute, two great minds who can join us here live on redacted. Great to see both of you today. Thank you guys so much for joining us. Sure.
- [10:36]
Co-host/Natalie
Now, Colonel, the new report from the New York Times is saying that the United States did, in fact, strike this girl school. I saw you on Tucker Carlson this week saying you really hoped that it was a mistake of human error or a mistake of computer error, but we need to take ownership of it. And now the president is saying, oh, I'm not familiar with this. Is that believable at all?
- [11:01]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
Well, look, I think, first of all, President Trump is discovering that a war without strategy is a war without end. And he's got a real problem on a very high level with that particular truth. Second thing is that he's the commander in chief and should have said, well, if that turns out to be the case, as commander in chief, I'm very sorry. I take full responsibility for it. I regret that that happened. Now in defense of the U.S. air Force or Navy, whomever developed the targets, and I imagine it was probably joint, I would imagine you had Air Force and Navy targeteers going through various satellite imagery and maps. And my own experience with them is that they are very thorough and that you get an occasional error, an occasional mistake. And the reason you get it is because someone has identified something as, as a military target that isn't. So my hope is that that is what happened this time. Now, the worst thing that could happen would be to discover that this was some sort of product of artificial intelligence. That is not good because all of these targets should be carefully checked and approved by human beings.
- [12:14]
Host
And now, Dan, we're hearing from the Iranian side, to Doug's point, on, like, these legitimate targets, Palantir, Microsoft, these other data centers and otherwise. And if Palantir is actively responsible, I mention Palantir specifically as legitimate targets and AI targeting and everything we've seen them do in Gaza. Are you surprised by that?
- [12:35]
Dan McAdams
What I, what I have heard from Scott Ritter, for example, is that Under Secretary Hegset's new rules, carefully checking These targets is considered woke. And when he promises a war without any sort of, uh, you know, blinders on, uh, that he's going to go ahead full steam, that this allowing people to go over the targets for a second time is too much, is too, it's too cumbersome. Whether that's true or not, I don't know. That's what he's said from his sources, if that's the case, that it really is a new frightening era for the United States. But the point here is, as you say, they have the ability to escalate. You know, they could, they had, they had two banks, as I understand it, hit in Iran recently and they are hitting back. They've hit back, I think a bank in Saudi Arabia, if I'm not mistaken, they'll hit more. They have the ability, they have the escalation coalition dominance right now. And regardless of what President Trump or Hegseth or any of them say about them being out of missiles, about their navy being completely decimated. We just saw the video before the segment they blew up, I think it was a Thai cargo ship. They blew that up. And they're lobbing missiles into oil depots as we speak. And if anyone looked at some of the exchanges just for a few minutes ago, it looked like a combined operation with Hezbollah coordinating with Iran up in upper Israel. That was unbelievable and unbelievable. Use of cluster munitions, etc. So despite all claims that they're completely out of weapons, they seem to be doing a hell of a job not having any weapons.
- [14:07]
Host
Yeah, Doug, I want to ask you about that. Just on the military side, there's been, I mean, such a media blackout. I don't think I've ever seen it before. I worked in the media. I mean, it's crazy, the blackout right now. But to Dan's point, on the attacks on, on Israel, what are you hearing from your sources on like, like the level of attacks on is on southern Lebanon in these areas that we're just not seeing in the media.
- [14:33]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
Well, keep in mind that very early on, all the strikes on the bases in the Gulf and the strikes that went into Israel, they systematically destroyed all the high altitude radars and they went after the various air defense, air and missile defense batteries to the point where they're either very close to being out of missiles or they simply don't have enough anymore in Israel and in the Gulf because they're firing two or three missiles to deal with one incoming missile. And the missiles that were used at the beginning of the operation were fairly advanced in age and the idea was to get the Israelis and to get the batteries in the Gulf states and elsewhere to essentially respond to these missiles, to waste their magazines on things that really weren't designed to be that deadly. And then gradually, they've replaced these older models with the newest hypersonic missiles that are carrying a thousand pounds or even higher amounts of explosives. And in many cases, they are mirved, if you will. That's multiple independently targeted reentry vehicle and intercontinental ballistic missiles where they've done something very similar with conventional warheads. And these are these clusters that you're seeing. So they've defeated technologically most of the defenses. And my impression from the emails that I'm receiving from over there is that Israel is being devastated. And some people are saying that Israel has 10 days to two weeks before the entire state is destroyed. Now, I'm sure that no one is going to admit to such a thing or agree with that assessment, but I think it's pretty severe. And in the Gulf, I think the Gulf has found that its duplicity over many, many years is being punished by the Iranians. These are the states that have done business with the Israelis and essentially backstabbed Iran. Remember, we can't lose sight of the fact that this is also bound up with what the Israelis have been doing in Gaza and on the West Bank. And Iran has stood up and said this is unacceptable and they are prepared to fight the Israelis to the bitter end because of what they've been doing in Gaza. And I think the rest of the Islamic world is really behind them. What's going to happen, I think, in the Peninsula, the Arabian Peninsula, is that many of these governments that are there now may not be there in a few weeks because the populations are very angry with the way the Emirates have been governed and the way the people in power have behaved, like the sort of Arab equivalent of the Epstein class. So I think there's a lot going on right now. But the bottom line is that, and this has always been my fear, we've mentioned this before on your show, and that is that Israel will reach a point where they want this to stop. We don't really have the ability to stop Iranians. That's the problem, no matter how hard we try. And I think Mr. Netanyahu may be tempted to turn to a nuclear weapon and use that as a means of holding this. And I don't know that President Trump has the authority or the influence to stop him.
- [17:40]
Co-host/Natalie
Oh, God, who would he. Who would he send the nuclear weapon to? Because as Colonel Dan Davis has said that fallout would reach Israel if they nuked Iran. So where would they target us?
- [17:59]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
I, you know, I don't think they're going to target us yet, but I definitely think they'd pick something large, a large city of more than a million. Whether they'd take Tehran or Tehran or they would try to attack, say, Qom, which is further south, I don't know. I'm just warning that no one should underestimate this Israeli regime. Their ruthlessness and criminality in Gaza and on the west bank is there for everybody to see.
- [18:26]
Co-host/Natalie
The way you just put it sort of makes President Trump seem like a Doberman. Like once he's off the leash, you can't, you can't put it back. And of course, there were people like you saying this. And so it's really disappointing that the administration has behaved this way.
- [18:45]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
Let's be frank. You know, President Trump has said some things that we all wish he hadn't. You know, accusing the Iranians of being among the most evil people on earth and other outrageous statements. And then he's gone further and he said we wanted regime change effectively. When that didn't happen, then he said, well, it's unconditional surrender. These are very ill advised remarks. Right now. The Iranians have no incentive under any circumstances to believe anything we say or the Israelis say. And what do the Iranians want from this entire thing? They don't want to go to war again. That has to be understood. They want Mr. Netanyahu and his government gone. They want regime change now in Israel because they don't think they'll ever be safe, given the attitude in Israel. And I think they're going to want some new solution to the Persian Gulf. In other words, no more US Bases in and around the Persian Gulf. And I'd be very surprised if any of the Gulf states invited us to come back because we were supposed to help defend them. We didn't do it. We can't do it. So deterrence from their standpoint, using us has failed. And then finally you have the Straits of Hormuz. And I think they want a new solution to the Straits of Hormuz. I think they'll control it for some period of time, but I think they'll probably look for an international treaty governing the access to the Persian Gulf. In the meantime, you know, the damage that has been done to the Persian Gulf's oil infrastructure, oil business, if you will, it's not overwhelming at this point. But we've taken oil offline for many, many months in some Cases, maybe for a year or more. So this is going to be fixed quickly. And now I hear rumors in Washington that the President has talked to people about striking Iran's oil terminal, Kharg Island. That would be catastrophic because the Iranians have said, fine, you do that to us, we'll just annihilate everything in the Gulf region. And they can do it just as they told the Israelis. Don't bomb the refineries and oil storage outside of Tehran, as well as hospitals and everything else you could think of. And they turned right around. And what did they do to Haifa? They utterly annihilated the harbor and destroyed the oil infrastructure there. So this thing has to stop, but it's not going to stop until the kinds of conditions I outlined are probably agreed to by us. And that's going to be very difficult because we are in this war because of Israel. We are fighting this war to ensure that Israel's demands are met. We have no interest in the destruction of Iran. Never did, contrary to what anybody in Washington may say. So President Trump's got a tough job right now. This is something he can't simply disengage from and walk away from.
- [21:35]
Host
Dan, I want to ask you, on this off ramp that Doug was just talking about, I mean, how you've been around Washington very, very long, you know how the criminality works. You know how the rats scurry inside of Washington, and it seems that there's some backtracking going on, there's finger pointing happening, President Trump blaming Hegseth and Jared Kushner, and now maybe trying to look for some sort of an off ramp. And how do you. I mean, there doesn't seem to be an end game. Do we have an end game? Do we know what that goal is? And how do you think, given your history of understanding these politicians and the criminality, how are they gonna try to walk this back and change the subject?
- [22:11]
Dan McAdams
Well, slowly at first, and then quickly. And I think really a watershed event is the publication of the. The evidence that the school girls were killed by the United States. I think that's caused a lot of people to be concerned. And when even someone like Senator Kennedy apologizes, this is a guy who, you remember just a few days ago said that the Iranians just want to kill us because of our religion. They just love killing. Well, it turns out it's kind of the shoes on the other foot. But, guys, I think with this, one of the difficulties of getting out of this is that the entire system is broken. You know, for. For all of Its faults. The system generally works. There are competent people in the Pentagon, in the intelligence agencies, in the State Department. They do exist. They produce intelligence products that by and large are accurate. We've seen this recently with a leak, when they came up to it with intelligence community wide assessment, saying that this would not have the effect that you're hoping it would have. But instead of paying attention to people who actually do know these things, he's listening to Lindsey Graham, who says Iran is the weakest it's ever been in its history. Well, that didn't turn out very well, did it? And he's also sending people like Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two real estate developers who are salivating at the thought of making even more money in the region. And there's a lot of stuff coming out now that they were just completely inadequately prepared for. The discussions with the foreign minister of Iran, Iraqi, that they showed up and they had no idea about the technical details they were talking about. I've even seen some information about, you know, the one experimental reactor that they have in Tehran, Wyckoff and Kushner, not understanding that that cannot be used to enrich uranium to the point where it can be used as a bomb. And so they came back and they told President Trump things that were completely inaccurate, partly maybe because they were ignorant and they didn't understand these things, but maybe because they're actually working for Netanyahu. Which one is it? We don't know. But what we do know is by bypassing people who know how to do these things, we have a system that's deeply, deeply broken right now.
- [24:12]
Co-host/Natalie
That is so frustrating and especially because we have the iaea, which has many times said that Iran was cooperating over the last decade and never inspected Israel, never even once. I want to, you know, I can't see this as anything other than a threat to. Obviously, I don't mean to be selfish, but I don't want my son and his peers drafted into this war. And that's something that you reported today on the Liberty Report, that as Iran escalates, aids Congress passes automatic involuntary draft registration. Now, this is the reason a lot of us voted against the Biden administration and the Kamala Harris campaign, because the Biden administration had floated doing this for Russia. How the f did we get here? Now, can you tell us about this report?
- [24:59]
Dan McAdams
It's dangerous and the, the NDAA is notorious because it's a must pass bill. They will slip the some of the worst language in there. If you remember going back, you know 15 or 20 years. The things that they put in the NDAA. Well, this is a terrible thing because it will automatically register young men between the ages of 18 and 26 for the draft, for the Selective Service. And so what it does, it creates a database of these, of these people. And there's no longer any question of being able to make decisions on whether you want to register or not in it, whether a war is unpopular, whether a war is unconstitutional, which this war is very, very obviously unconstitutional. You're going to be forced now to, to be in a situation where you will be automatically registered for the draft. And a lot of people are salivating at the idea of, of starting a draft, of sharing the burden. The problem with this, as Dr. Paul says, is the presumption is that the government owns you, that owns your body, that you are a slave, and that just simply isn't the case. If we were attacked, which I don't think we have it, maybe the colonel, well, is a better historian than me, since 1812, by a foreigner's on our own soil, unless you count nine, 11, which is another story. I mean, it's not something that's going to happen. But if it does happen again, I'm thoroughly confident in our young men and women that they will defend their own country.
- [26:16]
Host
Right. This is not the, the existential threat to the United States, Colonel.
- [26:20]
Dan McAdams
Right.
- [26:20]
Host
As you've pointed out, it comes from Mexico, comes across our southern border, does not come from Iran, to say the least.
- [26:27]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
No, Dan's 100% on target. And I am very confident that if you called for a draft on the assumption that the draft was for people to exclusively defend the United States here at home, you would have no difficulty. But we all know that's not what the draft is all about. But I think it's important to point something out. We don't have an army to send. Our army is too small. It's been cut back repeatedly. We have put our money into very exotic weapons and particularly into this very large fleet, surface fleet that has very limited utility in the modern world today. It's wonderful to watch jets take off and land, but naval power like that isn't going to win any wars. It's not even able to defend itself very effectively against the kinds of threats that we're seeing. So we don't have an army large enough. Secondly, the army, if we were to push it and it would have to land somewhere, that means it has to come ashore in the Middle east, wherever it comes ashore, whether it's on the coast of Syria, Israel, or perhaps Baluchistan and southern Iran. Terrible place to do it. But if it happens, no one is going to be fooled in Tehran. Everyone will watch it on, you know, real time television from satellite based reconnaissance. And very shortly, as soon as you've assembled most of your force, most of the ships are there, disgorging equipment, you're going to be hit with precision guided ballistic missiles and drones. We're not prepared to deal with that. You know, we haven't. We have not got an army right now that could cope with the kind of threat environment that you see in eastern Ukraine. And we're not going to have that for some time. So the whole idea of a ground war is preposterous.
- [28:08]
Host
Can you go back to Kharg again, the island? We featured it yesterday on the show and we did a bit of a deep dive on how strategically important that little island is off the coast of Iran. 90% of the oil flows through Iran from that island into those cargo container shipping oil containers and so forth to flow out. There is talk, multiple Trump administration officials saying that they want to capture that island. Maybe you could just go a little deeper into what a crazy move that that would be. And how in the world would the United States even plan to secure such an island?
- [28:44]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
Well, the first thing is that much of the oil and fuel that comes out of Carg island goes to India and China and Japan and South Korea. So if you're really interested in harming those countries, by all means, destroy Carg island, but taking it and holding it without getting into a major fight. In other words, you've got to move ground force somehow or another and into the region. They have to cross the water. They have to get to the island to hold it. Well, good luck. I think that's going to be extremely dangerous and very difficult to do. But the important thing for everybody to remember is that if we do this, it's probably not going to work. The island could easily be destroyed, and then Iran has no incentive of any kind to let oil infrastructure in the Persian Gulf survive anywhere. Refineries, drilling rigs, storage tanks, doesn't make any difference. All of those ports will be smashed. And I also think it's important to remember that the Israelis struck a desalinization plant in Iran. That's a very dangerous thing to do. Iran is not that dependent on those desalination plants, but the Gulf states in Saudi Arabia are extremely dependent on them. I hope the Iranians do not respond by destroying any of those plants, because that would end the Gulf States, you're talking about little places where large numbers of people, densely populated, are all dependent on water from those plants that, that would cause mass death and certainly the structure of the economy.
- [30:21]

I want to ask you both how you, how are we supposed to feel about this? Because if you've studied this conflict, you know that is our government that started this on false pretenses. And then when you see these embarrassments militarily, it feels like we effed around and found out. It feels like just desserts. Our leaders deserve this, but our soldiers don't. And so how are we supposed to handle this? How do you guys view it? I'll start with you, Dan.
- [30:52]
Dan McAdams
Well, what I'm worried about the most right now is something domestically. I mean, I don't want to sound the conspiratorial, but I'm worried about a false flag. I don't know if you've seen this, but the FBI apparently has been warning police departments in California that Iran may have launched attack drones off the west coast into the U.S. now, to me, at least, you know, this, this is as we see things falling apart becomes very obvious, regardless of what Hegseth tells us and what Trump tells us is very obvious that Iran has not been degraded. Next phase is false flags. Next flag is to get people on board with this. So I think this is something to definitely keep track of, because if something like this happens, you better say goodbye to any of our civil liberties, even our ability to go on the redacted. It'll be gone.
- [31:40]
Host
Yeah, Colonel, I mean, Dan's right. And I've been long. I fear false flags because, you know, you don't want to bring them up. You don't want to say it. But you know, Israel loves false flags. They have a long history of it. Just I look at the USS Liberty. I mean, look at the Levon affair in Egypt, trying to drag us into a war. So it's one of Israel's favorite pastimes as false flag attacks. They're doing it right now in Azerbaijan. I would, you know, wouldn't be surprised. Of course, they're reporting of attacks into Turkey, also trying to make it look like Iranian attacks, all of that. So Dan's right. On United States soil. Is that something you're concerned about?
- [32:15]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
Well, first, let's be clear. Nobody is going to stop me from talking to Natalie. I'm sorry. Forget it. I will always show up to talk to Natalie, even half dead.
- [32:27]
Co-host/Natalie
So that's nice.
- [32:30]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
I don't really place too much credence in that because my Information tells me that the Iranian government has specifically instructed anyone that they're in contact with in Western Hemisphere absolutely not to harm the United States. They understand that that would be a gift to Israel. Wow. And they're not interested in doing that. So I think your false flag analysis is sadly plausible and by no means impossible. Has to be taken seriously. But I think in the long run, it probably won't occur. The problem is, what about Americans? What are they thinking? Are they paying attention? Finally, now in Europe, the prices of oil, electricity, everything else have gone up 70, 100%. Same thing for the most part in Asia. We need to make sure Americans understand the consequences of our actions for people that we like, for our allies. And then we really need to ask the President and the people in his administration to stop the inflammatory language, stop saying the kinds of things that Mr. Netanyahu said. You know, people, people ultimately take you at your word. Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Ben Gvir, and his friends in the cabinet have called the people in their region animals, subhumans, inferior. Eventually everybody figures it out. We got it. We know. We believe you. And when that happens, you're finished. We don't want to go down that road. And we got to be very careful because ultimately, when this war ends, we really want to live with everybody in the region.
- [34:08]
Host
Doug, I'll ask you this. On the military side for Iran. We keep hearing that their air force is destroyed, their navy's destroyed. We keep hearing all the bluster coming out of the Pentagon, the Secretary war with his press conferences and so forth. What is the truth? Is Iran destroyed? Has their capacity been hampered? Down to 30%? What do you know from your sources?
- [34:29]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
Well, Iran, first of all, didn't really have an air force. It hasn't had a viable air force since the Shah left. So I would just write that off immediately when it goes to the Navy. They had seven old frigates and a few small boats. Well, they sank the frigates. They're gone. They didn't present any kind of threat anyway. I mean, it's sort of like saying, well, I went down to kindergarten, I'm a college graduate, and I beat the crap out of everybody in kindergarten. You know, it's kind of a non entity.
- [34:59]
Host
Right.
- [34:59]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
And I, you know, something to think about. As I was watching General Kane read from what looked like a spreadsheet, and he sounded like an accountant talking about liabilities and assets. And he was saying, well, we, you know, hit 5,000 targets, we dropped X number of thousands of pounds, tonnage of bombs, whatever precision guided missiles and we're confident that we have degraded Iran to a point where their missile launch capability is 10% of what it was. And we're going to continue to go after them. And on and on and on. Well, the Iranians have shot down most of the unmanned. In fact, almost all the unmanned terrestrial reconnaissance platforms, like the Hermes from Israel and the other MQ9s, they've knocked them out. Those are very important because they help to pinpoint the targets for air power at high altitude. These are the targets where missiles are launched and so forth. I don't think that we are a success. And it reminds me too much of Vietnam where we discovered year after year after year that we'd killed the insurgency fighting us several times. And I used to listen to Air Force officers stand up there and say the same thing when I went through the Kosovo air campaign. The Air Force made the same kinds of comments back in 1991. We listened to it with General Schwarzkopf all the day. We did this. We killed this much, we destroyed this much. We all discovered. We had to go in on the ground. And it wasn't the picture that we expected. There were people there ready to fight with, in many cases, very fine equipment. I think hopefully we have put to bed this notion that you're going to accomplish everything from the air. And I cannot imagine, but I think it's possible that President Trump was not told this will not work because somebody should have told him this has never worked in the past. And now you're dealing with a nation the size of western Europe and 93 million people. And I think we failed to achieve those outcomes that Israel wanted. So what's the President going to do? He has to scale back those demands. He has to look at what the Iranians want. You know, this is not a one way street. We are not in charge. I mean, Dan, what do you think?
- [37:11]
Dan McAdams
Well then, absolutely. But I saw someone, I can't claim credit for it, but the President has taken to just making things up, as we know. I mean, the entire Venezuela operation was essentially made up. We've got the greatest deal ever. We're getting all of their oil, they're shipping everything to us. They're a wonderful partner. You can imagine President Trump just coming out and making something up and saying, I have just struck an amazing deal with Iran. We, they are now our partners. We are going to be all be rich. Everyone's going to be rich and et cetera, et cetera. And meanwhile, Iran is sitting there scratching their heads saying what the hell is going on? But I mean, this would not surprise me if that's the way he pulls out of it.
- [37:50]
Co-host/Natalie
Now, you work with Senator Ron Paul. This is something he has been warning about for decades, that expanding military presence in the Middle east would eventually bring financial ruin to American citizens because it is a theft. Now, right or wrong, something that I would hope would happen is that Americans withdraw from foreign entanglements, leave that area and other areas with their tail between their legs, and say, we're not gonna do this anymore, and return to the country that was the dream of Calvin Coolidge. This is my prayer, my hope, right? What could go wrong about this is that we do get a black eye, and we go back and say, oh, we're gonna. We're gonna go lift weights. We're gonna get better. We're gonna go back worse than ever. So what do you think? Can we even afford to do that, Dan? Is that a possibility, or are we just gonna get sunk? Because right now, we've spent about $11 billion already on this war. So, you know, what's the financial reality for us as citizens and us as a government?
- [38:55]
Dan McAdams
Well, it sort of reminds me of diplomatic immunity. You never know it's going to work until you actually use it. And I used it once in Hungary,
- [39:01]
Host
and it didn't work.
- [39:02]
Dan McAdams
So, you know, we've guaranteed the Gulf states that we would take care of their security, we would keep them safe. And it turns out the only country will keep safe in the region is Israel. And they are. You're on your own, guys. I mean, I think the greatest scene that I have seen in a long time is all the representatives of the Gulf States going to Sergei Lavrov. And Sergey Lavrov was like Don Corleone at his daughter's wedding. If you remember, when. I think it was Enzo, the banker Baker came in, remember? And he said, I need you to do something for me. They attacked my daughter. And Don Corleone said, you never came over and had coffee with me. You never came over to my house. Now, at my daughter's wedding, you're asking me a favor. I mean, that's essentially what he did. And they could not say a single word at that point, because that's exactly what they did. We're not going back to those bases. I don't see how. Where they're going to get the money to rebuild those bases. Maybe the silver lining in this disaster will be that we are forced, because of this debacle. Debacle. To actually come home and fulfill some of what Dr. Paul has wanted for Many, many decades.
- [40:07]
Co-host/Natalie
And I apologize. I got the wrong Paul. I said Senator Paul, not Congressman Paul.
- [40:13]
Host
But you could have said Senator Rand Paul's also been.
- [40:16]
Co-host/Natalie
Has said the same thing. Right. But please don't punish me and go to the mattresses.
- [40:20]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
You know, Natalie and Clayton, a lot of people have talked and said what we really need is regime change in America. Well, that sounds wonderful, but I don't see much happening. I don't see much difference between what's been going on in Washington under President Trump and what went on with President Biden or their predecessors. We've been on the same trajectory for at least 25, 26 years.
- [40:46]
Host
You know, a great example of that, Doug, is USA is usaid.
- [40:50]
Dan McAdams
Right.
- [40:51]
Host
DOGE comes in and gets rid of usaid, but then what happens? It gets literally folded under. Into Marco Rubio's under in this. In the Defense Department. Excuse me, in the State Department. It's all hidden now. So it's all one big unit party.
- [41:07]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
Yeah, well, he wants to be viceroy of Cuba and Latin America. You know, at least that's in the Western Hemisphere. But the bottom line is I just want Americans to begin to think about an alternative to this status quo. These two parties are just, in my judgment, corrupt and incapable of leading us anywhere better. Hallelujah.
- [41:31]
Host
Colonel Douglas MacGregor. Great to see you. Dan Adams, as always. Great to see Dan McAdams. Excuse me. Thank you so much for this crazy, crazy Wednesday. We really appreciate it. And I mean, every.

Colonel Douglas MacGregor
Yeah, yeah.
- [42:18]
Host
She sees right through all of it. Yeah, exactly. All right, we've got more news to get to. How about this for a story? Why is there a secret Israeli base in the former Soviet Union in the Republic of Georgia? And is this secret military base run by the Israeli government being used for drone strikes in Azerbaijan and other false flag attacks into Turkey? We're going to bring on the reporter who broke that story. And, boy, the Israelis are Not happy with him for exposing this base. We'll talk about all of that, but

Host
Danielle says, I love your show, but I wish fewer advertisements. Yeah, well, we're not Fox News. We don't have 30. We have a few. We have like four or five sponsors in our show that actually support independent journalism. We wouldn't be able to do this and pay our staff without the few sponsors that we have on our show. So they support independent media, and that's how we're able to actually hire the people that we have on our team to do this free show for you. So thank you for supporting our sponsors. And by the way, they're sponsors that we use here on our show. So we, you know, that's, you know, we don't have Pfizer supporting us, so we don't have big pharma on our show. All right, let's talk about this. Maybe you do, but I. I sure don't. All right, so why does Israel have a secret drone base right near the border with Russia? According to recent reports, the recent drone bombing of Azerbaijan by Israel was launched from this secret drone base in the country of Georgia, which sits very close to the Russian border. How is this allowed to happen? Here is one of the reports. Diplomats are now trying to suppress news of Israel hiding this drone base inside of the Republic of Georgia, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The base was first reported by our next guest, Viktor here, Victor Hugo Vaca Jr. Who is joining us live from the former Soviet Union and the Republic of Georgia near the border with Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Victor, great to have you here on the show. Welcome back.
- [47:34]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
Thanks for having me back, guys. I just wanted to let you know this story was originally going to be put out in print by a American muck Wracking journalist like myself in the former Soviet Union sharing news and information that's being censored throughout the Western world. Interestingly enough, you're getting more real news out of the Middle east and Russia than you are in what's known as the Juneited States by the outside world. But Jeffrey Silverman was told that by diplomats that he should not print this story because the. Yeah, the Georgian Ministry of Defense actually, actually runs that secret base that's in a UNESCO World Heritage site. And so what he did was he came on my show. He's a regular weekly guest. He comes on Tuesdays. I have a show on Rumble like you do a live stream at the Victor Hugo Art Channel. And he broke the news on my channel because he says, listen, the people of Georgia need to know that, that this is a clear and present danger. Because what's happening is like the other guests were saying, people are seeing that there's false flags being carried out by Israel trying to blame Iran. And so what they did in this case was they used this. Allegedly they used this air base which is not far from Azerbaijan, to bomb the airport, the Baku airport, and also near a school, which is interesting because you were mentioning how the United States finally was busted as being responsible for that school bombing on the first day when the Supreme Leader was taken out. People aren't realizing this in the outside world is. No, not as the Epstein holy war. Because what's happening is the generals are telling their military personnel that Jesus chose Trump to bring and fulfill the Book of Revelations where the Antichrist is supposed to come back. And that's going to bring Kung Fu Jesus back and save everybody. And so it also, if you notice, Epstein is no longer being seen, spoken about. So they've got two things going on here. So this is a, a spiritual battle. And we have to focus on the fact that like Nikki was saying, it's very odd that they were precision with exactly where the Supreme Leader lived and even got his daughter and family members. And then how interesting that they also on the very first strike got a children's school. And now we're talking about child sacrifice, which is something that related back to the Epstein, which is why they wanted to cover up the whole Epstein thing. And when I say this is a spiritual battle, one of the things that nobody's talking about and I appreciate your show and a handful of others that dare to talk about this, we have a religious problem and nobody wants to talk about the Talmud. The Talmud states clearly that even the best of non Jews should all be killed, show no mercy to the non Jews, and that Jews may use lies to circumvent the non Jews. Now we're living in the age of deception where everything that you're told, people don't know what to believe anymore. They don't know who to trust. And we're full into this Project pogo. I don't know if people know what Project POGO is, but it's where there's controlled opposition agents that are put in to the alternative news media, to the so called truth teller arena, that it's filled with compulsive liars and they're feeding people 80% of the truth and 20% distraction to keep them from the real objectives. And so like the CIA had said in the past, we'll know we were successful when nobody knows what to believe.
- [51:35]
Host
Right?
- [51:36]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
And so, yeah, I'm so glad that Jeffrey Silverman came on the show and, and that's one of the things I do. I welcome whistleblowers on my show who say, hey, listen, we can't go on anybody else's show. I say, please bring receipts because I don't want to be spreading misinformation or disinformation. But the real whistleblowers are not being heard. And so to Jeffrey Silverman's credit, he is now putting the story out because I told him that you were going to be breaking the story on redacted and he says that's great because people need to know because what's happening is Israel is trying to bring all these countries into this war. And this goes back to Albert pike with his letters. This has all been planned by the way. Again, like I said, this is a spiritual war and it's been planned.
- [52:21]
Host
Yes.
- [52:21]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
And the plan is to destroy Italm. Now you heard Benjamin Netanyahu saying just recently that the new Rome is the United States and so they want to destroy the United States. This is a win, win situation for Israel. If they conquer Iran, that's a win for them because they'll be the main power in the Middle East. If the United States goes down, then they've just destroyed Italm. How I found this out was when I was living in China as a cultural ambassador for the modern art music movement. The Chinese know this whole plan. That's why we're watching a show. Just like the Mossad agent said, we are the producers, we are the directors, we are the screenwriters, we have the actors. The world is our stage. So when I was living in China, the Chinese were very kind to me. But they laughed at my Go, go, Go, America, because that's how we're raised, right? America number one. And he's like, well, listen, America is going to be number four. And I said, really? How does that work? He says, well, China is going to be the first world power, Russia is going to be the second world power, India is going to be the third world power, and maybe if the United States is lucky, it'll be the fourth. So even China knew this whole thing, this whole thing with the COVID Psyop that was the beginning to test and see how manageable the societies were, how easy they were to believe. The standing six feet apart, the wearing the mask. I mean, all that stuff eventually came out and was shown that it was nonsense. But notice how nobody's being held accountable because people in the Western world are suffering from, like, brainwashing.

They're.

Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
They're using the EMFS, they're using the 5G, they're using the microwaves that they put out at night, and people are getting tinnitus, and they're waking up agitated without sleep. So people in the United States, from what I've been interviewing, it's a whole different vibe than what's going on where I am. For example, one of our chat room.
- [54:32]
Host
Victor, one of our chat room guests, Mystical Wolf, says, this guy gets it. Too bad many people don't want to see it as such. You have a question, though.
- [54:40]
Co-host/Natalie
But, no, not necessarily. Let him finish. The. I want to understand the. The prophecy of Edom, and. But please continue, and then I'll come back around to that.
- [54:48]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
Well, the prophecy of the Dome is that the United States has to fall because they're trying to rebuild the Third Temple, because as you saw recently with the red heifer sacrifice and everything, we're dealing with cults here. And Maga has become a cult because no matter what you tell these people, they are still believing, believing everything that Trump says. So there's what I call a Satanic Christian revival in the United States. And what I mean by that is they call themselves Christians, but they are not. They are minions for the synagogue of Satan. And some of these people call themselves Jews, but they're not. Their God is Lucifer. And even the Jews have said that. And which. You see the videos of these rabbis, they say, listen, we start the wars and then we get our Christians to come in, our Christian slaves to sweep up the mess. And that's what's happening now in the United States. And so that's why Jeffrey Silverman said, listen, we're in an Orthodox Christian country, one of the last remaining Orthodox Christian countries on Earth. The Vatican actually sent the Pope over to try to see if they were would turn to the Vatican. And they said no. And so the Jews are now coming over here. And I know this because I'm here and I see it, and I talk to the people on the ground, and they said, victor, the flights are coming in from Tel Aviv. They're bringing suitcases full of cash. They pay off the customs agents. And then ever since I arrived here six years ago after escaping China two hours before the last border closed, on the day that the Wuhan virus, Dr. Lee Win Lang died, I've noticed that there's skyscrapers going up in this place called Ajara, which is a no man's land between Turkey and the Republic of Georgia. And they're building all these skyscrapers. And I'm like, who's moving here? This is a small place between the Caucasus Mountains and the Black Sea where the Khazarian mafia, Mafia originated in the old Silk Road. And they're just laundering money here. They've been doing it since the war in the Ukraine. And these people make such little money that when somebody comes in and says, hey, listen, you know, we want to buy the entire 14th floor, the entire 15th floor. Wow. They open up the briefcase or the suitcase, and it's got, like, millions of dollars in cash. These people are like, wow. And so what I'm saying, seeing also, and they're not reporting in the news, is that the Israelis are leaving Israel.
- [57:24]
Host
Yes.
- [57:24]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
In droves.
- [57:25]
Host
Yes.
- [57:25]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
And they're moving into this Orthodox Christian country. And the people here are now nervous because they're like, wow, okay. The Jews are having such influence that now they're starting to do to our politicians what was done to the politicians in the United States of Israel, where now Israel controls the Congress, the Senate, the White House, and the military. Rumsfeld said that when he went into the Pentagon, he was surrounded by Mossad agents. So that's why the diplomats here were saying, hey, listen, you know, keep this story down because the people are going to start noticing that, yeah, Israel is starting to have a major influence here. And the people of the Republic of Georgia are different than in the United States States. They don't sit on their hands. I'll give you an example. When I first got here, they tried implementing Gay Pride Week. Mind you, again, this is an Orthodox Christian country. They didn't put up with it. They literally stormed the parliament and beat to death one of the journalists. And the reason they did that was because they told the. They were sending the message out to the reporters. They said, listen, you guys are promoting this and we don't want this in our country. And so they voted conservative and everything. But now the question is that
- [58:45]
Dan McAdams
drone
- [58:45]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
base is actually under the Georgian military of defense. But is the Georgian military of defense now under the control of Israel, the way the Pentagon is? See, that's the question. And I'll tell you another thing. That drone base was there since before 2008 during the Georgian Russian war. And the Georgians remember that the Israelis gave the Russians the kill codes to the missiles that the Georgians purchased from Israel. So they betrayed the Georgians, and they don't forget that. The same way the Israelis betrayed the United States with the liberty. And the other thing that nobody talks about is the Israelis gave all the information about the aircraft carriers to the Chinese. The Chinese built exact replica of the aircraft carrier so they know exactly how to combat it. And they still keep calling Israel America's greatest ally. And people don't remember that during the COVID Remember, there were two aircraft carriers that had to come back because their electrical equipment was shut down. They didn't want to talk about it, but it happened. So, yeah, the aircraft carriers are sitting ducks. And apparently what's happening. And this is why I've been warning people in the military. I don't know what to tell you, but if I was in the military, I'd get out, because they're going to try to do a Pearl harbor, and they're going to try to incite the Americans to, you know, do what they did with Iraq, weapons of mass destruction that never existed. Using Colin Powell as the. The black guy to convince everybody, hey, listen, don't be politically incorrect. Believe this. It's all a show. And I'm going to tell you one other thing. I was a Naval Academy midshipman officer in the class of 1993. I served alongside Carter Page. That's how I knew that the whole Russian collusion thing was a lie. But what I realized when I was there as a midshipman officer, I witnessed the sexual assault of a female midshipman officer, and it made world headlines. This was before the Internet, so it was just in the newspapers. New York Times, Washington Post, Miami Herald. And what happened was I was called into a secret meeting with Vice Admiral Hill, who's the highest guy. Like, you don't meet this guy. And I was in there with a bunch of people from D.C. and they were making me an offer that I couldn't refuse. But I did, because what they wanted me to do was to lie and say that I didn't see what I saw, that I made a mistake, that I was wrong. But it was so weird, because one of the things they instilled in my head that I remember to this day is I will not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate anyone who does. Now, I wasn't the only one who witnessed, witnessed that. There were several others who did. They were all lying. They all lied about it, and they were given promotions. So that's when I realized, wow, what's happening in the military and why we've got this problem now is there's a lack of integrity. We're being led by psychopaths and pedophiles and deviants. And, yeah, they ended up giving me an honorable discipline. And I was told to go into hiding. So I went into hiding for a while. But then when I started seeing what was going on, I said, you know what? I have to come out. And that's when I started keeping a diary of my world on canvas. It's called modern art gonzo journalism, because I was involved in a case called the Crackhead Jesus Trials that were presided over by Judge Donald W. Hafiel, who was the judge who presided over the sweetheart deal that Jeffrey Epstein got in Florida. And I told the judge Hafil, I said, you're a pedophile enabler. I see what's going on here. This court system is enabling pedophiles. And he told me that I couldn't talk about, write about, or use his name or likeness, and that if I did, he would hold me in contempt of court and throw me in jail. So in a moment of just like asking the creator for inspiration, how do I get the word out that we're being controlled by pedophiles? He said, you know what? The judge never told you you couldn't paint about it. He said, keep a diary of your world on canvas. And that turned into what I'm doing now is a video diary. Because when I left China, I was offered the opportunity to be the guy selling the personal protective equipment, the face mask, and the vaccines by the Huai Ping Wang Army. And when I said, no, I'm not going to do that, they said, okay, we'll get somebody else to do it. They started giving me death threats. So that's why I started this podcast, because I was letting people know I'm not suicidal. And also what I discovered then was when I went to the embassy, the US Embassy, for help, they didn't give me any help. So that's another thing. People think that the United States is here to help you. They're not. So I've learned the hard way. But I'll tell you, we're in a real, really tough spot because people don't realize we have to start asking the tough questions. And you have to start realizing we're not going to be able to negotiate our way out of this. Because how do you negotiate with the psychopath?
- [63:58]
Host
Well,
- [64:01]
Co-host/Natalie
no, I don't have any.
- [64:02]
Host
You don't have it. Okay. Well, I wanted to ask you about Turkey and Iran. They've discussed this collaboration with investigating these strikes in Turkey. But you and I have talked offline about the, this secret Iranian Israeli base inside of Georgia, using it to attack Azerbaijan and attacks presumably also possibly into Turkey. Do you believe that that's where some of these attacks presumably could be coming from?
- [64:31]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
Absolutely. And there's also a place called Lago Kehi. It's a region that's only, only 2km from Azerbaijan. There's an old abandoned airstrip located there in a restrictive border region. And so, yeah, they can send their drones out of there, which is why, again, Jeffrey Silverman reported this because he says, listen, you know, the Republic of Georgia is going to get dragged into this. And again, that's the plan, though. They want to create World War Three.
- [65:04]
Host
Three.
- [65:05]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
We, we never got out of World War two, by the way. So, I mean, because everybody just kind of moved to Argentina, different parts of the world. They went to the United States, started NASA, the CIA, all this stuff. So World War II is still going and the plan is still the same. They want to rebuild the temple. Again, this is a spiritual battle and people aren't, aren't seeing it. I was surprised to hear that Trump said he was the children chosen one. And I don't know if you know, but the, the moment that he said he was the chosen one, 666 days after that, I believe the war started in Iran. Yeah, that's why I said when, when that happened with the school girls. Yeah, we have precision technology. That wasn't a mistake. I'm sure if they investigate that that was a child sacrifice. The. This is satanic. What's going on right now? See, people don't want to deal with the spiritual aspect of this. And, and also, yeah, that brings us to the tribulation. And again, I'm not a Bible thumper. I'm just telling people Trump's not going to bring back Jesus. Because if you go by the Bible, it says that the stars have to fall from heaven first. So until the stars fall from heaven and then we go through what it says. There's like the worst times in mankind's history before we go into the best times of mankind's history. It may be bad right now, but it's not that bad. Things have got to get so much worse before. But here's the other thing. The rabbis have admitted that and supposedly this will happen tomorrow on Friday the 13th, because people are using numerology to figure this out. The rabbis have said that they would do a false flag attack on the mosque in Jerusalem and blame it on Iran. Like they keep blaming everything on Iran. And that if that happens, that's going to be tremendous because then you're going to have, I think it's like a billion Muslims who are going to be totally upset. And as far as the false flag attacks going on in the United States, I was capturing footage of the terrorists that were passing through this area and they were telling me that they were going to the United States because Biden sent them. And so there are already Chinese Huaiping Long army there. I've reported this to the State Department, to the Department of Homeland Security. I've even shown them the passport of Huaiping Wang. You can do a search. Just type in Huiping Wang. Victor Hugo. That's H U I P I N G Wong. That's one of the reasons I'm still here, because I'm a primary witness in that terrorist case. So the police chief told me I'm supposed to stay in Georgia until this thing gets resolved. So, yeah, I've been here for over six years now. And it's, it's amazing because I'm seeing things. This is a place that's between war torn nations. I mean, I look to my right, you got war going on. I look to my left, is war going. There's more going on all around us.
- [68:05]
Co-host/Natalie
It's amazing.
- [68:06]
Host
Yeah, I know, it's crazy. Well, that's why we wanted to have you on, to break this story wide open. Victor, thank you so much. We're up against a wall here because we've got a guest joining us now from Tehran. So it's been a, it's been a crazy day here, but thank you for your work on this story and we'll look for Mr. Silverman's report on this and we'll cover it as it goes even deeper into what's actually happening there with this Israeli base in Georgia. Thank you so much, Victor. Great to see you.
- [68:32]
Victor Hugo Vaca Jr.
Thank you guys. And thank Your audience for supporting this because it's very important. Without your support, we couldn't get this truth out. There's a lot of controlled opposition out there. And I'll tell you what, it seems like both you guys are truth tellers and we need that now more than ever, people. So thank you for supporting Redacted.
- [68:50]
Co-host/Natalie
Oh, thank you so much for saying that.
- [68:53]
Host
All right, thank you, Victor. Really, really appreciate it. Okay, so thank you so much.
- [68:58]
Co-host/Natalie
Let's take a quick break before we move on because, yeah, we're going to take a few super chats and then come back to you in just a second.
- [69:06]
Colonel Douglas MacGregor
All right.
- [69:07]
Co-host/Natalie
Yeah. So that's to you, our break. I'm sorry, time for a break. Honey, why don't you tell.
- [69:13]
Host
Maybe tell us about. About. Tell us about gold, Clayton. Oh, yeah, that's what I was going to do. I was about to do that. I didn't know what was going on, so I thought you guys were talking behind my back and I didn't know it was happening. Okay. We just wanted to make it as awkward as possible. Thank you. I was like, am I doing super chats or am I doing something else right now? Okay. All right. Yes, I do want to tell you about what's going on with gold and silver right now. As you can clearly see what's happening with the price of these commodities. They continue to rise. Why? Because the US Dollar continues to collapse. That happens when you launch a war against a country for no reason and you try to blame it on that country. That's exactly what happens. So the United States is $39 trillion in debt currently. That's where we are right now. And it's going to continue to get worse. We want to tell you about our friends at Lear Capital who can help you start investing in precious metals. That is right. Gold and silver. You can do it. You can receive up to $20,000 in free bonus medals with a qualified purchase. If you go to learn, that's. That's the place to go. They're an American company and they will help you get gold and silver delivered right to your door. Or you can have it stored in an off off site facility under 24 hour lock and key. And that is totally protected. That's totally up to you. But this is what happens when the powers that be devalue the US dollar and they go to war in other countries in order to try to prop it up, try to prop up that petrodollar. You know what? Silver and gold continue to rise because smart governments right now are trying to get as much of it as they possibly can. Have you seen central banks buying up as much as they can? Well, they are. So go ahead right now and give them a call. Our friends at Lear Capital. 1-800-613-3557. And they're again, they'll just have a conversation with you on the phone. No pressure at all. Just kind of walk you through the entire process of what it means to invest in precious metals. If it is for you, great. If not, then invest in US Dollars and see how that goes. Is totally up to you. 1-800-613-3557 or go to learredacted.com and I just want to talk about Venice AI, because if you looked at your credit card statement lately, you're working 40, 50 hours a week just to buy groceries and gas, things you used to be able to afford. The credit card companies are charging you over 20% interest for that privilege. Think about that 20%. It's designed to keep you underwater and American.
