Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The “Averted” War with Iran: Behind the Mainstream Narrative

Segment start: 05:25

• Conflicting Media Narratives:

  • The mainstream press claims Israeli PM Netanyahu “called off” an Iran strike after discussions with Trump.
  • The hosts argue this is misleading; Israel is pushing for the U.S. to act militarily while trying to avoid the “aggressor” label.

• Israel’s Dual Track Strategy:

  • Reports indicate Israel assured Iran via Russia they wouldn’t strike first (Washington Post), while simultaneously lobbying the U.S. for an attack.

    “Israel is pretending that they won't initiate the war on its own, so long as they can get the US to do it for him... mostly for the PR of it, because of Gaza. They realize they can't be seen as the continual aggressors, but that's clearly what they want.”
    — Natali Morris [06:29]

• Reaction from Iran:

  • Iran is skeptical, aware the U.S.-Israel axis can't be trusted and recognizes the potential for the U.S. to lead strikes.

2. Larry Johnson (Ex-CIA) Dissects the Subterfuge and Russian Intervention

Segment start: 07:49

• Covert Economic Attack on Iran:

  • Coordinated CIA/Mossad operation tanked the Iranian currency, fomenting economic protests (Dec 2025), using ethnic minorities, Kurds, and the MEK to stir unrest.

    “The plan was that the government [Iran] was going to be put into such a degree of chaos that when we launched the military strikes yesterday, that would have brought the whole house down. Well, it failed.”
    — Larry Johnson [09:49]

• How the Plot Unraveled:

  • Iranian security forces, aided by Russia and China’s electronic warfare, discovered smuggled Starlink terminals and shut down protester communications.

  • Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey) refused to allow overflights for a strike—allegedly due to Russian pressure.

    “Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey both told the United States, you're not flying over our territory to do this. And I think part of that was pressure that the Russians were bringing on to all of them...”
    — Larry Johnson [12:00]

• Energy Leverage and Global Risks:

  • 45% of global oil passes the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran could shut, sending oil prices soaring and wreaking economic havoc—deterrence impacting U.S./Israeli calculations.
  • Russia and China have deepened military/economic ties with Iran post-June ‘25 war, making Iran’s position much stronger than historical parallels with Syria.
  • The West’s simplistic regime-change or military strike narrative is “nonsense” and “gaslighting.” [14:37]

3. Would Israel Actually Use Nukes? The Danger of Escalation

Segment start: 18:10

• Israel’s Nuclear Posturing:

  • Reports of possible nuclear testing at Dimona raised new alarms.
  • Israeli sources in Tel Aviv allegedly admit their defenses cannot stop an all-out Iranian/Russian missile barrage—Iron Dome is “essentially a joke against hypersonic missiles.” [23:30]
  • Larry: If existentially threatened, Israel might consider nukes, but this could trigger responses from North Korea, Pakistan.

• U.S. Military Posture:

  • Ongoing deployments, not withdrawals, indicate continued war preparations.

  • Johnson predicts the U.S. will ultimately attack Iran given the entrenched political/media war narrative:

    “We're going to attack them. They're going to look for the next excuse.”
    — Larry Johnson [24:09]

4. Surging Silver and Gold: A Warning of U.S. Economic Crisis

Guest: Peter Schiff, Segment start: 27:33

• Market Signals:

  • Gold over $4600/oz, silver near $92/oz—enormous price jumps.
  • Schiff likens it to the subprime warning before the 2008 crash—now a warning of a “dollar crisis and a US treasury crisis that are coming.” [29:15]

• Foreign Abandonment of Dollar:

  • Central banks pivoting to gold, away from treasuries; U.S. global financial status (“reserve” currency) is eroding.

• Personal Effects of Collapse:

  • As the dollar loses reserve status, Americans’ purchasing power will collapse due to the trade deficit:

    “We live way beyond our means, and that's been enabled by the rest of the world accepting dollars in exchange for real goods. As the dollar collapses... the dollars that they earn, the dollars that they saved, will buy a lot less.”
    — Peter Schiff [34:40]

  • $15 McDonald’s hamburgers could become $30 or $50.

  • Schiff: “Get out of your paper, into real money. The country is going to be in a lot of trouble, and the fewer Americans who go broke, the better.” [41:10]

5. Australia’s “Hate Speech” Bill: Threat to Free Speech & Christianity?

Guest: Maria Z., Segment start: 47:11

• Bill Details:

  • Five-year imprisonment for “causing fear” with speech—applicable even if no harm occurs, and applies retroactively.

  • Broad definition of “public space” includes online speech; government can declare “prohibited” groups/symbols with no recourse.

  • Maria Z.:

    “There is no such thing as hate speech. Hate speech is simply speech that certain people don’t like... you don’t get to decide who is and isn’t allowed to say what they want to say.” [47:41]

• Implications:

  • Law is vague, allows prosecution even without evidence someone felt fear.

  • Religious “protections” seem to only apply to Jews, Sikhs, and in some Canadian precedent, Islamic clergy; Christianity explicitly excluded.

  • Maria Z.:

    “It feeds into that digital ID ecosystem... all words you express or even think will form part of your digital dossier and eventually be used against you in a social credit system.” [53:24]

• Australian Public’s Response:

  • Historically passive, but resistance is growing; fear that opposition is too little, too late.

6. Alberta Secession: Canada’s Internal Revolt

Guest: David Creighton, Segment start: 65:12

• Growing Independence Movement:

  • Record polling (45%+) in favor of Alberta breaking away from Canada, driven mostly by the federal government’s imposition of unpopular progressive policies and “equalization payments.”

    “Albertans are paying billions of dollars so Ontario [and Quebec] can use Albertan’s money to pay for social programs... People resent that tremendously.”
    — David Creighton [68:11]

• Energy, Pipelines, and U.S. Alliance:

  • U.S. is Alberta’s natural trade partner (88% of exports).
  • Trump administration reportedly open to Alberta joining as the 51st state if independence is achieved.
  • Federal government (Ottawa) seen as obstructing Alberta’s oil industry and prosperity through policy.

• Prospects:

  • Provincial referendum expected in Fall 2026: “Should Alberta be independent and leave Canada?”
  • Debate over whether Albertans would want statehood with the U.S. or simply to stand alone.

Notable Quotes/Memorable Moments with Timestamps

• On Western Media & War:

  “This simplistic crap that was being spun in the West that all we've gotta do is put enough pressure and the Ayatollah is going to flee to Moscow. Nonsense.”
  — Larry Johnson, [14:37]

• On Iran’s Right to Self-Defense:

  “In terms of who's been killing more of the other side, it is the United States that's got the most blood on its hands, not Iran. And yet we persist with this lie that Iran is a terrorist state. I challenge anybody. Show me the numbers.”
  — Larry Johnson, [19:15]

• On Nuclear Sabre-Rattling:

  “Faced with an existential threat... Israel would be tempted to use a nuclear weapon. Yes. But that comes at a potential very high cost when you've got countries such as North Korea and Pakistan who are also nuclear powers.”
  — Larry Johnson, [22:57]

• On Canada-style Speech Laws in Australia:

  “These countries bring in hate speech bills about controlling the population... Christians get arrested for praying outside of an abortion clinic... It always ends up protecting all religions and Christians being treated as criminals.”
  — Maria Z., [53:24, 54:25]

• On the Alberta Secession Vote:

  “This is the most, potentially the most real opportunity for Alberta to become an independent nation independent state in the history of Canada.”
  — David Creighton, [65:12]

• On Economic Collapse and Precious Metals:

  “I think it’s now a race to get out of the dollar, to get out of US stocks, to get out of US Bonds. We have a real crisis coming and we can't do anything to prevent it, but we can do something to protect ourselves.”
  — Peter Schiff, [41:10]

Summary Takeaways

• The “averted” Iran war is less a story of de-escalation and more a tale of failed covert action, Russian intervention, and energy/geopolitical realities forcing Western retreat—temporarily.
• Western media narratives about Israel’s intentions are, in the hosts’ view, largely misleading PR; real risk remains of war being postponed, not prevented.
• Economic signals—soaring gold and silver, rapid global de-dollarization—point to a looming U.S. financial crisis of historical magnitude.
• Australia’s proposed hate speech law is not just about antisemitism; guests argue it threatens civil liberties and targets Christianity.
• Alberta’s secession sentiment is at historic highs, driven by economic grievance and political alienation from Ottawa; U.S. partnership, even statehood, is on the table.

The discussion is laced with skepticism towards government and corporate media, a strong defense of free speech and personal sovereignty, and warnings to ordinary people to prepare economically and politically for turbulent years ahead.

Let's get uncomfortable. Welcome into the show on this Thursday. We've got a very busy show for you. Thank you guys for subscribing and being a part of our community. What the hell is happening with this war in Iran? Has it been averted? If you read the mainstream media accounts of all of this, Benjamin Netanyahu came to Washington or or phoned up President Trump and called it off on his terms. Well, that's actually not true at all. But of course the Mockingbird media is running with this story. But we're gonna tell you what's really going on because we've got a former CIA intelligence officer here to break it all down for us who's been watching this very, very closely.

[B]

Plus, you might have noticed that precious metals are through the roof. Not just silver and gold, but also copper. Why is that happening? Is that an indication about the US Dollar and economic collapse? It does seem like that. We're gonna talk to Peter Schiff, an expert about this. We're excited about that.

[C]

We're also gonna talk about Australia's antisemitism laws. They're moving forward. Yesterday, a couple of our viewers said, hey, redacted. Will you guys cover the draconian anti Semitism laws in Australia. And yes, we have been covering them, but we are gonna be covering them today on the show because they're getting very close to appearing before Parliament next week. This would be unbelievable. Crazy hate speech laws and it just ridiculous. So we're gonna talk about all of that. Plus, Alberta's secess in Canada is gaining a lot of steam. People by the thousands lined up to sign that independence petition to break free of Canada, of Canada's tyrannical regime. So will it become its own country very soon? All of that and more is redacted. Starts right now. But before we get to that, we wanna tell you about our friends over at Bearskin because you guys know all about the bearskin hoodie. Oh, that's you.

[B]

Sorry, that was to me. That's right.

[C]

Sorry. I didn't have my glasses on.

[B]

Okay, well, I'm going to tell you about Bearskin because I took my bearskin on a walk today here in the Rocky Mountains with my dog. We saw a wolf. I don't know if I was camouflaged with. I don't think I was. It doesn't actually do that. What it does do is keep the wind and the rain out of which we have a lot. It's comfortable. It's great for layers. It's not like a puff coat where you're sweating and you can't breathe. It breathes beautifully. And they've got a great lineup. Also, they've got those popular patches on the side. You can switch those out for whatever you'd like to signal to the world. It's very fashionable, very functional and very warm. So check them out. Go to Bear skin Redacted. Or you can text redacted to 36912. You'll get 60 off the bearskin hoodie today. Now, Grim, who works in Florida, he's on our. On our team, he says he's going to need a bearskin because it's like 30 degrees in Florida. Whatever will you guys do? Well, if you don't have a bear skin, you're not prepared to layer up. But if you do, you are. So check out their buffet of offerings. You'll be so glad you did. Go to Bear skin Redacted or text redacted to 36912. I am gonna have to look up what are best practices when you're walking and a wolf crosses your path with a dog. Because our dog is a shit starter and I'm very much worried. So if you have suggestions on what I need to do in that Scenario.

[D]

Come across it before, I would assume it was a coyote because you won't see a wolf unless they want you to.

[B]

It was much bigger than a coyote.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And we, and they have the, the wolf release program here, so they've been warning us about. Anyhow. Yeah, I, I, that's cool. I will take tips.

[C]

Yeah, Yeah, I saw coyote the other day. Much smaller, scraglier, but they can get pretty big. But no, this was a wolf. Very, very large. So anyway, let us know in the chat room if you come across a wolf and you've got a little dog that wants to start shit, what do you do?

[B]

I have had bear come across, but I was with a child and not a dog.

[C]

You know what we should do is rename our dog Grover to Bibby.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Bibi. Because he's little, he thinks he's bigger and he wants to, he wants to start shit. He's a chef starter and he wants to start shit with everybody.

[B]

Yeah, he does, he does.

[D]

And prairie dogs are Palestinians, right?

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

That's what he goes after all the damn time. All right, well, let's talk about that.

[B]

Well, it is clear that Israel is calling the shots for a war with Iran. We have two conflicting stories from major news outlets. What they have in common is that it's Netanyahu who continues to make the decisions here, not President Trump. Now, before we get excited, it's worth remembering that the last time that Trump and Netanyahu promised not to bomb Iran, they turned around and did it. So we can't pretend that they're not bluffing this time. It would be a fool me twice situation on our part. Here's what the major reports are, and then we're going to break them down. The New York Times is reporting that Netanyahu has now asked Trump not to bomb Iran. The reporting is that Israel is not ready to withstand the retaliation that inevitably would come from Iran. Now, this comes right after the Washington Post reported this. They say that a few weeks ago, Israel sent a delegation to Russia to assure Iran that Israel does not intend to strike unless they are struck first. On its face, that sounds like reasonable de escalation, but it's not. Because at the very same moment, Netanyahu was in Washington prompting President Trump to strike Iran. So you see what's happening here. Israel is pretending that they won't initiate the war on its on its own, so long as they can get the US to do it for him. Now, why would Israel bother with this trickery? Mostly for the PR of it, because of Gaza they realize that they can't be seen as the continual aggressors, but that's clearly what they want. Here's how the Post puts it. That they want to desire to avoid being pursued, perceived as escalating tensions. Not that they don't want to escalate. They don't want the perception. So if you can get your, the United States to do it for you, you're in the clear. Right. But they really do want to escalate those tensions. Now, is Iran falling for this? According to the Post, they are not. Iranian officials responded positively to this Israeli outreach, but they are wary. Obviously, Iran believed that if the Israeli I lost my place. Assurances were genuine. They leave open the possibility that the US Would carry out attacks on Iran as part of a campaign between these two allies. So they know that these two, and by these two, it's the US And Israel are not to be trusted.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Let's bring in Larry Johnson, former CIA intelligence officer now to dissect all of this. Great to see you, Larry. Welcome back to the show.

[E]

Hey, guys. Hey. Let me just, let me just add, actually, I have a bare skin hoodie and I've got two pairs of bearskin pants. They, they do work as advertised, so.

[B]

Fantastic. Thank you so much.

[C]

Do they ward off wolves? That's the real question.

[E]

Well, that's, that's why I carry a sidearm. I'd recommend carrying, you know.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

A nice, nice.45 caliber 1911.

[C]

Yeah. When you're walking. Yeah, exactly. I mean, these deer also come after you Crazy too, with the, and the elk. Hey, you know, yesterday, I just want to point out, Larry, Yesterday, speaking to Colonel or hearing from Colonel Douglas MacGregor, he said, you know, when asked about the intelligence, back, back and forth, what's going on with these players behind the scenes, you know, Israel getting busted and all in all of this on the streets of Iran, Col. McGregor said, I'm not plugged into the intelligence community. There's one person that I trust, and that's Larry Johnson. If you want to get to the bottom of that, Larry Johnson is your guy. So guess what? Larry Johnson is on the show today. So, Larry, you hear these, the New York Times, the Washington Post with their stories. I got off the phone about 20 minutes ago from a source who told me that Israel got busted and Putin was furious about this. It was really the behind the scenes work of Putin and some of the Middle east allies that actually stopped this from happening. What do you know?

[E]

Well, yeah, I think that that's definitely part of the Story. Let's go back to December 28th, Sunday, when Donald Trump's meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky. That day, an economic operation was launched, an economic attack on Iran that fell a dramatic fall in the price of their currency. And the Iranian economy is small enough that an organization like the CIA working with Israel can basically spend some time in advance, buy. You buy up a large number of the currency of Iran and then when you dump it on the market and sell it, the price goes through the floor. That sparked legitimate economic protests. But this was programmed by the, I believe by the CIA and by Mossad to, you know, start the fire and then bring in the kindling and the gasoline to pour on it. And that kindling and gasoline came from a variety of sources. You've got Kurds, ethnic Kurds that are in Iran and they've got ties across border. They were being asked, paid to commit acts of violence. They were given Starlink terminals so that they could be in communication with foreign assets that were directing them. Similarly with the group called the mecc, the Mujahideen Al Khalq, they were designated by the United States as a terrorist group in 1997, even though that group had existed since 1964. They were described as a Marxist Islamist group that carried out acts of violence against US citizens and against Iranian citizens, both under the Shah and under the ayatollah. Well, in 2004, the CIA lined him up, put him in a camp, trained him in Albania, and started using them to carry out terrorist attacks in Iran. And then in 2012, we finally took them off the terrorist list because they're no longer terrorists. There are guys so. And then out in Western or in eastern Iran, you've got the Baluchis in Baluchistan, and they've had a long, long term, relationship with the CIA. I know that firsthand from one of my buddies back in 1980 when we were planning the rescue operation to try to free the US diplomats that have been taken hostage at the embassy. One of the means of communications was from rugs that were coming from Baluchistan to a rug shop in Bethesda, Maryland. Right behind my house on Wisconsin Avenue is called Parvisian. And the messages were hidden in those rugs. So what I'm saying is there's not just one ethnic group. You've got a variety of ethnic groups that have had ties to these, to foreign intelligence. They inflamed the situation. And the plan, I believe now watching what has happened, the plan was that the government was going to be put into such a degree of chaos that when we launched the military strikes yesterday, then that would have brought the whole house down. Well, it failed. The operation to destabilize Iran started collapsing last Friday. The Iranian security forces, they discovered the Starlink terminals. Russia and China were helping them with electronic warfare countermeasures to block those. And as they started blocking those, the people stopped showing up in the streets. And the IRGC and the Bajis, they started cracking down on the ones who were carrying out violence against Iranians. So what happened yesterday was also. It was exacerbated by that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey both told the United States, you're not flying over our territory to do this. And I think part of that was pressure that the Russians was bringing on to all of them, because what Russia knows is that it's now invested heavily in Iran, as is China. They're not going to let the United States attack Iran and just try to destroy it. Now, the other element that's at play here is that 45% of the daily production of oil in the world comes out of the Persian Gulf. Iran can close the Strait of Hormuz in a heartbeat. Once that's closed, all of a sudden, 45% of the oil is out in the world, no longer there. What does that do to the price of oil? Sends it into the. Into space. And it is. It would be good for Russia because, you know, now the price of oil is $150 a barrel, but it's going to have a devastating impact on other economies, both in causing inflation and forcing embassy industries to shut down. So this very complex picture, but this simplistic crap that was being spun in the west that all we got to do is, you know, put enough pressure and the Ayatollah is going to flee to Moscow. Nonsense.

[B]

Russia did prop up Syria and the Assad government for so long until they just couldn't do it anymore. So is this the delicate balance by which Iran hangs in the. In the. The fate of a possible Assad government? What's the difference here?

[E]

Yeah. The difference is Bashar al Assad didn't want to listen. You know, the Russians said, hey, we'll help you. Let us come in and assist.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

And. And Assad said, you know, I know you're not old enough to remember Natalie, but in the 60s, there's this television commercial for Excedrin, and as part of it, there was a mother talking to her daughter. And the daughter would go, mother, please, I'd rather do it myself. Well, that was Syria.

[F]

Okay?

[E]

They Told Mother Russia, we'd rather do it ourselves. Well, that didn't turn out so well. Iran, in this case, they had actually told Russia something similar prior to the 12 Day War in June, Russia had offered a military alliance and the Iranians said, no, no, no, we'd rather do it on our own. On June 25, when that war came to an end, that brief conflict, Iran went back to Russia, said, hey guys, that offer you made, that sounded really good. Let's do that. And so what you've had since then is extensive cooperation between Russia and China. So Iran is actually in a much stronger position now than it was say, on June 12th of 2025.

[B]

Now, can I ask you, Lindsey Graham took to X and said, oh, this idea that our Arab allies have intervened on behalf of Iran is beyond disturbing. Now, when something disturbs him, I us, usually I'm for it. That's my general rule. But is he thwarting something? Does Lindsey Graham know anything? Do we have to worry about what this bloodthirsty demon wants to happen?

[E]

No, I think, I think it actually corroborates the other press reports you guys were citing at the outset that, that in fact, these Arab nations did tell Trump, hey, we're not. You can't use our airspace. You're not going to do this. One of the things that both China and Russia have brokered in the course of the last two years, a new alliance between Iran and Saudi Arabia. You know, previously the, the Saudis were being used by the United States as a, as a means to attack Iran. And it was in. The proxy war was being fought out in Yemen. But thanks to the intervention of Moscow and Beijing, you now have Iran. You know, the Defense minister from Iran has visited Saudi Arabia, vice versa, President Pezechian has met with MBS Mohammed bin Salman. So they recognize they are not enemies as they were in the past. And the Saudis also, I think, are looking at very practically, they are the largest producer in the world. They do like 10.4 million barrels of oil per day. Russia does 10.3 million barrels of oil per day. And if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, you know, Saudi Arabia's got some significant, taking some significant economic losses over that. They don't want that. And I think they recognize Iran now is in a stronger position than it was in June to fight back and fight back decisively. And they've made, I think they've made it clear we will close those straits in a heartbeat.

[C]

What does, I mean, from an intelligence perspective, what are you hearing that Israel would do next. Because we heard reports today, who knows if there's any truth to this being tied to some sort of a nuclear test at Dimona, inside of Israel. We all pretend that Israel doesn't have a nuclear. Right, you know, nuclear arsenal.

[B]

Because, you know, Dimona is what they told JFK was a textile factory.

[C]

Yeah. So there's reports of an earthquake from possible nuclear testing. I don't know if this is saber rattling on Israel's part. I don't know. But what are you hearing from an intelligence perspective that Israel would do next? I mean, if the United States and Israel cannot stop hypersonic missiles coming into Israel and Russia is saying, don't even think about it, are we at a stalemate here?

[E]

No, because I actually, I think, I think we're ultimately still going to attack. We are so gaslit in the west about Iran. I was on, and I'll tell you off air who it was, but I was in a conference call on Tuesday with a retired US general, very respected, well respected knowledgeable guy. And he started describing why we needed to, you know, why Iran had to be taken out because it's killed thousands of Americans. So I started doing the research. The Iranian government, since 1980, 79, the Iranian government has not identified as having killed one American. The Iranian government now Iranian proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, they have killed. In terms of civilians. Wait for it. The total number of civilians killed by These Iranian proxies, 100. Less than 100. The number of soldiers, US soldiers killed by proxies in Iraq in particular, is a thousand, less than a thousand. So what we're looking at total from Iranian terrorism over the years, less than 2,000 actual fatal American fatalities. Now look at it from the Iranian standpoint. It was the US that went to Saddam Hussein and said, hey, buddy, we'll provide you with all those precursor chemicals you need to make mustard gas. He did, and he killed at least 500,000 Iranians. So when you're weighing the total in terms of who's been killing more of the other side, it is the United States that's got the most blood on its hands, not Iran. And yet we persist with this lie that Iran is a terrorist state. I challenge anybody. Show me the numbers. Born and raised in Missouri. Show me. State. Show me the actual numbers. Because in terms of attacks on Americans, we. What Iran has done, they were, they what those groups that they've supported, they've attacked military targets. And I put, look, I'm not saying that I've supported their attack on the Marines, like at The Marine barrack in Lebanon. But when you're wearing a uniform and you get to carry guns, that's called war. And even if it's an unconventional warfare, you're still a legitimate target. It's not like carrying a bomb into a pizza restaurant, blowing up a bunch of civilians.

[B]

Absolutely. And we have to, if we're doing this calculation of lives, we then have to calculate how a retaliation from Iran would then cost American lives as well. And it's not just civilian lives because.

[C]

Well, all these bases there. Right. So how many? Yeah, I mean, how many? How many? As you've said multiple times on our show over the years. I mean, these. As President Biden even said, it's not a matter of if they get attacked, it's a matter of when. Cuz they know it. They want to use these Americans as cannon fodder in these bases that are all throughout the region. Just put them there, wait for them to be attacked, and then we can use that as a false flag to go in.

[E]

Yeah. And notice that Iran did not the only base it attacked, and that was sort of a coordinated Kabuki theater with the United States on June 24th when they did launch missiles. And they took out a satellite system at Al Udid Air Force Base. But, you know, Al Udid is the main base, but there are eight other bases, including a naval facility in Bahrain, that we didn't touch, that the Iranians didn't touch. So Iran. The big difference now is that Iran is ready to respond and retaliate in a very forceful way. There was a dispute, an argument within the Iranian government. They felt that they should have continued pressing forward. Now, this comes back into your original question. What's Israel up to? The worst case is Israel, faced with an existential threat where they're about to see their entire society collapse, would be tempted to use a nuclear weapon. Yes. But that comes at a potential very high cost when you've got countries such as North Korea and Pakistan who are also nuclear powers threatening to retaliate if Iran is nuked. So it's a very dangerous situation. And what's unfortunate is Donald Trump's in a position where he could actually be a leader in making peace, bringing Iran back into the world, a civilized world, but he's not doing that.

[C]

Yeah. I spoke to a source inside of Tel Aviv yesterday who said, we can't stop. They're going to throw everything they have at us here in Tel Aviv. They're going to destroy us, and we can't stop it. And the Iron Dome, he this part, this source said the Iron Dome is essentially a joke against hypersonic missiles. Of course. So we know that that's the case. So don't, don't poke the bear at this stage. Larry Johnson, always great to see you.

[B]

Well, can I just, before we let him go, he says, oh, we will attack. He did say. You did say that, right? We may not be doing it this time because of these deterrents, but can you finish that, please?

[E]

Yeah. Well, who identify for me the voices in the US Congress, either senators or Congress members, House of, members of the House of Representatives or any leading pundits that are allowed on the television networks that are saying, hey, Iran's not our enemy. We, we need to find a way to accommodate and work with them. No, no, no. It's just the opposite. They are constantly being portrayed as the enemy, as somebody we've got to stop at any cost. And so that's why I say we're going to attack them. They're just, we're going to, they're going to look for the next excuse. But the way to tell if we're going to back off is if this current deployment because you've got another aircraft carrier task force group headed to the Persian Gulf or the Indian Ocean, if that's called off and turned around, then I say, okay, we're backing off. But I don't see that happening. So if we see the continued buildup and if the military forces that were evacuated yesterday are not sent back to those bases, then you'll know that we're just, we're paying lip service to peace because we're going to go to war.

[B]

And we're hanging in the balance. Thank you so much for that assessment. I didn't like hearing it, but I appreciate it.

[E]

Sorry.

[C]

It's coming. It's coming. Larry, always great to see you. Thank you so much, as always.

[E]

All right, guys, thanks so much.

[C]

Really appreciate it. Reid has great website as well. We'll have it linked up to read sonar 21 because he does an incredible job and analyzing all of these pieces, former CIA intelligence officer Larry Johnson. All right, coming up on the show, we're going to talk about silver exploding. Does that mean bank collapses are coming?

[C]

Well, with silver and gold prices surging, are we about to see the banking collapses across the United States? And the math goes something like this from keen eyed analysts on silver production. So 800 million ounces a year being produced in silver, I mean we know it's a scarce resource at this point. Companies are clamoring to get as much of it as they can in their hands right now. Everything from solar panels to EVs. Of course, it's also a commodity in addition to a currency. So 800 million ounces per year bank shorts on silver. 4.4 billion ounces according to some reports. So by this estimation, if silver keeps going up, the biggest banks in America will collapse. How are they going to cover these shorts? Some investors are seeing a big trap here. Many banks are barely covering their asses to stay afloat. And I just want to pull up here, see if I can get my gold numbers up here. Just take a look at gold and silver today and just take a look at this. So here's gold price right now, $4,600. It bounced back from a little bit of down yesterday. And then look at silver on the right side of your screen, $92 an ounce right now. So we want to bring in Peter Schiff, who's a silver gold expert and economist. He is the author of the Real Crash, how to Save Yourself and your Country. Here is the book. Go out and pick it up right now. America's Coming Bankruptcy. Peter has been, you've been predicting this for, I mean, I don't want to say a few months, maybe a few short years here about what's coming here. And it's all been sort of like a shell game being hidden. Peter was welcome back to the show. What do you think is going to happen with these bank collapses?

[F]

Well, I mean, first of all, that book was from 2013. So obviously it was a bit premature, but it was right on target. In fact, if you read that book today, you'll understand exactly what's going on right now and why and where we're headed. And of course, you know, I predicted that the price of gold and silver would rise substantially, and now we're seeing that. I mean, gold prices in the last year alone have more than doubled and silver prices have practically tripled. But to me, this is a major warning of a serious financial crisis, economic crisis that's coming. It reminds me of the 07 warning we got from subprime, because when the subprime market blew up in 2007, very few people understood the significance of what that meant, including the Fed. Remember, Ben Bernanke said, don't worry about it, it's contained to subprime. But when subprime blew up, that was something I had been waiting for predicting. I was short the market, so I knew it was coming, but I also knew the significance. And once I saw that, I started increasing my warnings of the financial crisis that was coming. And I was right. It happened a year later. And I think that what we're seeing now in gold and silver is a similar warning, but it's not about mortgage credit. It's about the US Government sovereign credit. So gold and silver soaring are indicating a dollar crisis and a US treasury crisis that are coming. And maybe they'll hit next year, but that's not a lot of time and people need to take action while they can.

[B]

Now, a lot of our debt is allowable because we are able to trade global currencies. And so that allows politicians to continue to spend in a way they wouldn't otherwise be able to. So can you Connect this to the crisis in Venezuela where Venezuela had oil was trading around the petrodollar and shrinking our ability to continue to borrow, which would, in fact lead, by many economists, this is not, my estimation, lead to a reduced, a deflation of the dollar, reduced global power. Is that what you see is, could lead to this crisis? Is that what you're referring to?

[F]

Well, that's already happening. I mean, the main reason that gold moved up as much as it did is because foreign central banks are buying gold instead of US Treasuries. And so they're moving out of dollars into gold. Clearly, we went into Venezuela because we want their oil. We're trying to keep the price of oil down. It's one of the only commodities that's not going way up because it's not just precious metals. I mean, it's all metals. And now we're seeing agricultural commodities and soon we're gonna see energy as well, oil and gas, but it's not going to be enough to save the dollar. The US Dollar as the reserve currency. I think that status has been lost. We just haven't fully, you know, reap the consequences of that. But we're going to see that in short order when we see a much more meaningful decline in the dollar relative to other foreign currencies and we see that impact on consumer prices and interest rates, meaning consumer prices and interest rates will be moving substantially higher. So if people think there's an affordability crisis now, they ain't seen nothing yet.

[C]

Let's talk about the silver piece that I outlined at the beginning here. This idea that many of these banks are short precious metals. They're short silver. And are we about to see a run on that? I mean, if silver hits not, you know, goes over 100, hits 105, like, what happens to these banks?

[F]

Well, you know, I think that the people who are short silver who don't actually own the silver, right. They're, you know, some people have silver that they've hedged, but speculative short positions. I think those short sellers are in a lot of trouble. They're losing a lot of money now, and they're going to lose even more money in the near future. Now, whether it's enough to bankrupt some of the banks that may have underwritten, I don't think so, but it's certainly enough to create losses. And the banks are going to have a lot of problems too, not just losses on short silver positions. I mean, their loan books are going to blow up and real estate prices are going to start to fall. Commercial has already fallen, but residential is still a bubble with the air yet to come out. So there's a lot of bad debt on the books of banks. I think the banking system fundamentally is in worse shape now than it was before the 2008 financial crisis. Very few people appreciate the precarious position of the US Banking system. In fact, that is one of the reasons that the Fed is cutting rates. That's one of the reasons that the Trump administration wants lower rates, is to prop up the banks.

[C]

So what are the mechanics of this, then, for the average person? You know, we've got tens of thousands of people watching right now. How does this affect them personally? Like the, the, you know, the husband and wife with two kids, they work, you know, they work jobs, they got kids going to school, they got soccer practice and all of that. How is this materially going to affect them if we see this major collapse?

[F]

Well, most Americans don't understand the degree to which the US Dollar's reserve status is responsible for their standard of living. But most of the stuff that we consume in America, the products are not made in America, right? They're imported. And how do we pay for these imports? Well, we create dollars out of thin air, and the world is willing to accept those dollars because of the dollar's unique position in the world. Now, if we didn't have the reserve currency and we wanted to import stuff, we'd have to export stuff of equal value to pay for it. The problem is our economy does not produce nearly enough stuff to pay for all the things that we import, but we're able to get away with it because of the dollar status. So, in other words, we live way beyond our means, and that's been enabled by the rest of the world that lives beneath its means and accepts dollars in exchange for real, real goods. But as the dollar collapses and the world moves away from the dollar, that knocks the support from under our economy. And the people in your example are going to feel that because now the dollars that they earn, the dollars that they saved, will buy a lot less, and so everything is going to be a lot more expensive. I'm not talking about the type of price increases we saw during the Biden years or what we may be seeing now, but something on an order, on an order of magnitude, much larger. I can see over the next.

[B]

Give an example, like a $15 hamburger at McDonald's.

[F]

It could become a 30 or a $50 hamburger, right? Going to McDonald's may be like going to a fancy restaurant, right?

[B]

I mean, that's massive deflation of the US Dollar's buying power at the same time as inflation at pricing. So what you think you make, you're going to make a third of that in terms of purchasing power. Right. So how do you prepare for that?

[F]

Yeah, I mean, and of course, you know, some prices will go up more than others. I mean, like, if you want to get a haircut, right, that's a local service provided by, you know, a local, you know, barber. So I don't think the cost of a haircut will go up nearly as much as the cost of, you know, buying yourself some shampoo. Right. The products, goods prices are going to rise a lot faster than, than service prices, which of course is a problem if you're the barber. Right. Because now your income that you get cutting hair is not going up nearly as much as your cost of living. So that's going to be a big problem for a lot of people. Maybe their wages will go up, but not as much as the price of everything they have to buy.

[C]

So I'll get you out of here on this, Peter. I mean, I've been saying for years, like, please do not put your family's future, please do not tie your family's future to the US Dollar. Investing in gold, investing in silver, having precious metals which have sustained for 5,000 years, is that still a smart play at this stage?

[F]

Yeah. I mean, look, gold and silver prices, if you go back to the beginning of this millennium century, 1999, 2000, 2001, silver was under $5 an ounce. Now it's over 90. Gold was under 300. Now it's over 4,600. So gold and silver have done better than the stock market. People want to make a big deal about the dow almost being 50,000 and it was 10,000. All right, so the Dow is up 5x, but gold and silver are up more than 10x. And so that means that the Dow is worth less than half of what it was back then in terms of real money. And those trends are going to continue. So you got to keep getting out of your paper into real money. You know, I've got a company, Shift Gold. I would suggest that your listeners go to shiftgold.com right now and buy gold and silver. And in fact, silver. You know, I think in a couple of months we may not have much silver left. You know, we're running low on supplies because there's only so much that's, you know, that's, that's minted. You know, the markets are not prepared for the demand surge that that is coming But I think the real, real opportunity for people who have a little bit more of a risk taking mentality. I look at gold and silver as conservative stores of value, but gold mining stocks and silver mining stocks, yeah, they've tripled this year. But given how much gold and silver have gone up, these stocks are actually cheaper now than before. They triple. The thing is, Wall street hasn't woken up to that yet. So I think there's still an incredible opportunity for people to buy these mining companies that are literally, you know, gold mines. They are now making a fortune mining gold and silver because their costs are about the same, if not a little lower than they were a year ago, but they're getting so much more money for every ounce they pull out of the ground. So people should be looking, you know, go to Europe. Pacific Asset Management. We have separately managed strategies in gold and silver companies. I manage a gold fund. Epgix is the no load symbol. You can buy it at any discount brokerage firm. We've got a great portfolio, especially a lot of junior mining stocks that haven't moved nearly as much yet. But I think they're gonna be the rock stars at 2026. So it's a great time to get into my fund because we're broadly diversified. We have nice positions in the juniors as well as the mid tier and the senior gold companies. Again, the symbol is epgix. And you can also get more information on that fund at all my mutual funds, you know, even my dividend payers, just foreign stocks. My foreign dividend payer Fund was up 62% last year, something like that. I mean, that, that gives you an idea of the type of returns now that investors are earning outside the United States. I think it's now a race to get out of the dollar, to get out of US Stocks, to get out of US Bonds. We have a real crisis coming and we can't do anything to prevent it, but we can do something to protect ourselves. And then hopefully in the future we could use the wealth that we've accumulated to help the country, because the country is gonna be in a lot of trouble. And the fewer Americans who go broke, the better.

[C]

Yeah, well said. Yeah. These junior mining stocks, I think you're absolutely spot on about that. It's technically a gold mine at this point because they're so underpriced. Peter, great to see you. Thank you so much for your insights and as being a soothsayer for many, many years on this, really appreciate it. We'll have everything linked up in our description as well, so, Peter, great to see you. Thank you so much for your insights. We know you gotta jump.

[F]

My pleasure. Thanks for having me on and making me a part of your program here.

[C]

Really appreciate it. Thanks, Peter. Thanks for coming back. All right, we got more news to get to here. We're gonna talk about.

[B]

What do you think of that $30 hamburgers, McDonald's level?

[C]

Well, Anthony, based on the.

[G]

Based on the new nutrition guidelines, I mean, that's not even one piece of chicken. One piece of broccoli, one flour tortilla and one other thing. That's half of a piece of chicken and half of a piece of broccoli. We're doing great.

[C]

Anthony Pompliano, friend of the show. Anthony Pompliano. Really, really smart. He wrote in his note the other day, the real fear is deflation. It's not inflation, it's deflation. And the deflationary dollar is really the US Dollar.

[B]

So then what do we do? We go to Costco and, like, freeze some steaks. Like, I mean, practically, this is something Clayton and I will talk about offline, but stock up on your toothpaste, that kind of thing, because you don't want to pay $20 per tube.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, you've seen that tick tock craze where people are like, hey, I went and bought that $150 piece of meat. I forget the name of the cut. And he's like. And I chop it up and I get 17 steaks out of it.

[B]

Right. I think it's a sirloin.

[D]

And see, like, my buying my big cans of beef wasn't such a bad idea.

[B]

Exactly. Right? Beef areno.

[C]

Right, yeah. That's why. That's why we don't invite David over the house. He's. He's all hopped up on beef areno. Stay away with that. Anyway, let us know your thoughts on all of that in the comments. Nerdvana says Clayton looks deflated. Well, you know, I don't like, I don't want.

[B]

I think that's a compliment. He's on a diet.

[C]

Yeah, I'm losing weight, but I. I don't want Americans to be squeezed. You know, Americans go and they work hard every day and they're trying to take care of their kids, and you've got to deal with this crazy money.

[B]

Printing, and it sets you over the edge to buy shampoo. That's not that. That's not the sort of social contract we have with our government is you continue to spend and it hurts us. So anyhow.

[C]

All right, well, we Got more news. We're going to talk about Australia's anti Semitic laws moving forward. This sort of hate, hate speech laws. It's ridiculous. One of the most draconian in the world. Maria Z. Is going to be joining us here in moments. But first, for decades, our dietary guidelines have pushed low fat, low salt, eat less. While the food supply is filled with chemicals, seed oils, Ultra processed junk, RFK Jr just released the new dietary guidelines as a major shift. For the first time, the federal government is openly calling out the real driver of chronic disease, ultra processed food. These guidelines pull America back to real food while warning against the foods that are destroying all of us. Because the real damage isn't always visible. The problem is the damage underneath. The inflammation, the blood sugar instability, hormone disruption, metabolic dysfunction. And RFK Jr isn't chasing a diet trend. He eats like some, someone who actually understands your gut and your gut controls the whole system. He does. There's only one issue. It's not, it's not easy to eat kimchi every day like you might want to do. You might want to eat this kimchi every day. And now you can get all the benefits of kimchi in a convenient daily capsule with kimchi one. So, like as RFK Jr has talked about kimchi something he eats almost like every day. Philip on our team eats kimchi like every day. His whole refrigerator is stocked full of it. But some people don't like the taste of it. RFK Jr might I love the taste of it, but my son doesn't. And now kimchi won. Actually, you can get all the benefits of that without the taste because it comes in a supplement. Kimchi One helps restore what modern food destroys.

It's that good. So. All right, let's talk about Australia. Well, next week, Australia will take up consideration of their combating antisemitism hate, an extremism bill in Parliament. This is one of the most draconian pieces of legislation to hit the English speaking world. The Green Party has now come out posting their concerns, saying they will not support it in its current form and that it may have some unintended consequences. You think? But it's funny, their concerns seem to go the opposite. They don't think maybe it goes far enough. They think, hey, why are we just covering religious Jews against antisemitism? Why shouldn't we also cover lgbtq? Like, let's put everything we can into this hate speech bucket. Okay? Have they gone completely insane in Australia? Here to help us understand what is happening is Maria Z. Welcome back to the show from Z Media. Great to have you here. Keeping her eye on the pulse of everything. What's happening there. How close are we to seeing these things actually passed? Maria, great to see you.

[H]

Great to see you as well. Thank you for having me back. It's yet to be determined at this stage. It looks like the Greens do want some amendments made. As you said, the opposition party, which is actually. So the. The party in power at the moment is labor, which is kind of like the Democrats here. The opposition is the Liberal Party, which is actually more. Supposed to be more like Republicans. But Australia is very similar to the. The US in the sense that what you have most of the time is a uni party. So the opposition, the liberals, a.k.a. like the Republicans, are saying, we're not really supporting this. We actually want to introduce our own version of this. Whichever way you turn, they're all saying seemingly that it doesn't go far enough or they want to amend it in some ways. No one's saying, actually, no, this should be abolished altogether and it should be, Clayton, because there is. There is no such thing as hate speech. Hate speech is simply speech that certain people don't like. And guess what? You're not God. You don't get to decide who is and isn't allowed to say what they want to say. And it's just insane to me. But what we do have is this lockstep approach across multiple countries. We have similar pushes here in the US for these types of hate speech laws. So people in America should be paying attention, attention to what's happening over there because similar arguments are being made here. Now, if you want I can take you through some of the most egregious points in this bill. It says that it criminalizes speech that merely causes fear even if no harm occurs and it results in five years imprisonment. This is very similar to previous laws that they've passed which suggest that if you say anything, quote unquote, reckless, you could go to Jackson without trial. It defines public space so broadly that it will include anything that you say on the Internet. The law states that it's irrelevant whether hatred actually occurs or whether anyone truly felt fear. You are guilty.

[C]

Sorry, how are you going to measure that? Right. It's five years in prison because you caused fear, someone had fear based on something you said on the Internet. But then we don't really care if we can even measure your fear.

[E]

So.

[H]

Right. Who's going to enforce? That's crazy. And even if no hatred actually occurred, it's basically the government saying we get to decide unilaterally what we do and don't like. That's what this bill is. They say that you're guilty of displaying a prohibited symbol unless you can prove a religious, academic or journalistic exemption. I do want to talk about the implications for Christianity in this bill as well, Clayton, because I think Australia is moving to criminalize Christianity. And that's seems to be clear in this bill. I'll get to that. It says that the Australian Federal Police Minister can declare, quote, unquote, prohibited groups without any procedural fairness. So they decide who is and isn't prohibited. Obviously this will have implications for any political parties that rise up or community action groups, you know, people that form groups to push back on legislation. For example, they could suddenly declare they're prohibited or hostile, hostile to the government. And the powers can actually extend to actions that occurred outside Australia. So say you're a citizen that says, I it's no longer safe to live in this country. I'm leaving. And on top of that, they can actually do it based on retroactive conduct. So no one knows how far back they want to go. Yes, they. No one knows how far back they want to go, but that's included.

[C]

Wow. You could go back in your social media feed years and find something that they find offensive, that which may have caused fear. How are they going to. It may have caused fear then, but we don't know. How do we quantify this? We have no idea.

[H]

We'll just throw a crime. How do you commit a crime before something is law, that it is just pure insanity. And mind you, it's similar to what they passed In Canada. Is it Bill C, C93? I think, forgive me if I'm wrong about that one, but there are very similar bills in Canada and the similarities of this Bill Clayton, it's very interesting. So they say that there are religious protections that they've included in there. But during a joint committee hearing, Sarah Chidji from the Attorney General's Department expressly stated that protections are there for religious groups such as Jews or Sikhs, but not for Catholics and definitely not for Christians more broadly. So what I want to point out here is that all of these hate speech bills that keep passing, passing in these Western countries are at their very core anti Christian bills. How do we know that? Well, we simply have to go to other examples like Canada and the UK to understand how they keep doing this. The example out of Canada, it's really egregious. They actually used an example of a, of an Islamic preacher who, who basically called for violence against Zionist aggressors. This, this was his words. And then he claimed that his remarks were a prayer and therefore could not under the existing law be classed as hate speech. The prosecutor actually agreed that this was his religious prayer and he could not be prosecuted. So what they did was they said, we need hate speech laws. But what they did was expressly carve out in their legislation exemptions for Islamic preachers, but banned certain verses of the Bible. And that's what Australia is doing as well. They've carved out exemptions for Islamic preachers, but they're saying that Christians will not be protected in the uk. Just, just today I heard the report that a man. There was a protest. People were saying, you know, God is great in Arabic, which is an Islamic statement. And a man responded, God bless you, you. And he went, he was arrested. Clayton, the man who said God bless you was arrested. These Western countries are coming after Christianity with these bills.

[C]

Remind me never to sneeze in the uk for crying out loud. Oh, this is insanity. So, so criminalizing Christianity and I imagine symbols, maybe even like the, the cross. Would the cross rise to the level of being some sort of a problem for them based on these symbols? Unless you have some sort of academic or something, as you pointed out, reason for, for studying it, or is it just. Are they keeping it to the swastika?

[H]

At the moment they've criminalized symbols like the swastika, but I think the reason why they keep adding the terms prohibited symbols into all of these bills is because of a future attempt to, or a future plan to criminalize Christianity, as we keep seeing. And I'LL say it again. These countries bring in these hate speech bills. They are, of course, about controlling the population and making sure people don't say what they want, don't want them to say. And more broadly, it feeds into that digital ID ecosystem that we spoke about last time, where all of your words that you express or even think will be form part of your digital dossier and eventually be used against you in a social credit system. But what, what ends up, what keeps ending up as the case is that Christians get arrested for praying outside of an abortion clinic, for example, example or Bible verses get banned. It always ends up protecting all religions and Christians being treated as criminals in every single case.

[C]

I was going through like the Green Party's problems with this bill and going through their statements on this, and unless I missed it because they were complaining about that it would, it would just prevent anti Semitism. But they, and they, they said we need to include, you know, Islamophobia, LGBTQ plus. I didn't see any carve out in there or mention in the Greens messaging about Christianity. Did you or did I miss it?

[H]

No and no. And they never do. From what I understand, the Greens are currently trying to cut a deal with the Labour Party, the party in power, but are concerned that the, the bill will curb pro Palestinian protest, which they support people's right to protest, and they're concerned that it will curb people's ability to criticize Israel. So like anyone with common sense, I think you should have the ability to criticize any nation. So the Greens have some common sense there, but then they plan to push amendments to include LGBT people, disabled Australians and other minority groups as well. So in some ways they feel it doesn't go far enough. I mean, it's really insane.

[C]

I just always come back to the idea of hate speech. Legislation is ridiculous on its face anyway. If you kill somebody, that's hateful. We already have laws in place to deal with someone who murders somebody or who robs somebody or who beats someone up. We already have laws in place to deal with that. Then you have to add in this virtue signaling layer on top of it, which, I mean, how do you even enforce it? I just, I'm so frustrated by this and I'm so sad to see it's coming to Australia. But you're right, it's, I mean, further coming to the United States, of course, we've already seen these things pushing through Congress, these anti Semitism laws and so forth. You have the Department of Justice under Pam Bondi talking about this. So these carve outs for. For anti Semitism. I guess I'll get you out of here on this, Maria. What are the Australian people saying? I mean, they're gonna have their social media feeds scrubbed. Going back years, if someone was critical of COVID or, you know, the draconian laws or moves that the. The Australian government was, was pushing on them back then, which Australia was one of the worst in the world, as you know.

[H]

So, yes, I was there.

[C]

I mean, this could create fear, right? The fear that you're talking about. This could have created problems for people. And so there's going to be a lot of people that I think are just going to be very trepidatious in Australia. But what are the Australian people saying? What are you in polls and otherwise?

[H]

Australia has, as in the Australian population has historically been very passive on these issues. I'm starting to see that change a little bit. I'm hoping that the Australian people gain courage from what just happened in the uk. Keir Starmer had to back down on, on compulsory digital ID for the right to work. They're still going to bring it in on a voluntary basis, which unfortunately will always lead to compulsory. But at least for now, because of the public pushback that they've caused, a dent in the government's plans, I really hope to see that when it comes to Australia. We've seen a number of senators say this goes too far. Unfortunately, none of them are actually focusing on the problem that, you know, we have this, these immigrants running around, we're bringing them to the country, they're chasing people around with machetes. I'm not even joking. There are like home invasions and people chasing people down the street with machetes. And the Australian government is more worried about the fact that the native people of the country can't, can't speak about these things. They want to silence them. And I don't think enough politicians have the courage to talk about what this is really about. And certainly I haven't seen any of them raising this issue around Christianity. It is clear that Western governments at large are waging war on their populations and Christianity. And the people need to really gain the courage and speak while they still have the right. Because the problem with all of these bills is that if you don't speak up now, if you're scared to speak up now, well, how much worse will it be after something like this is in place and the government can jail you like they do in the UK, you know, 30 people a day for saying things that they don't like? It's it's getting to that sticking point. And I really hope that Australians use their voices while they still can.

[C]

Well, I'd be pretty fearful of somebody walking down the street with a knife, trying to attack me. That would rise to the level of fear. But we don't care about that.

[H]

No, no. Do you know what they did with that, actually, Clayton? The government invested in machete bins, and they put them in public places so that the machete criminals could return them in. In the bins. Because once you see the bin, you have a change of conscience.

[C]

Right?

[H]

That's what they did with that.

[B]

Oh.

[C]

Maria, we are living truly in a clown world. I got an idea how we stop all of these, you know, these rapists with knives. We'll just set up, like, little bins so that when they're walking down, they're thinking about rape, they're thinking about breaking into people's homes. They'll just stop and they'll say, yeah, change of conscience. I'll just drop this in this in the bin, and I'll go to McDonald's.

[H]

Yeah. News flash, it didn't work.

[G]

I mean, have they put up signs? Maybe they thought about maybe putting up signs suggesting people not do that?

[C]

Yeah, I mean, that's right there.

[G]

If I see a sign, I immediately.

[C]

Immediately stop what I'm doing. We know you were thinking about raping this afternoon, but you might want to double, by the way, if you. If you have a change of mind. There's a bin down the street. Here's. Follow the yellow arrow.

[H]

P.S. if anyone dares to voice their concerns with you raping and chasing people with machetes, you can report them to the hate speech line over here.

[C]

Right. And if you. But. But if your comments online rise to the level of causing fear in somebody, you could be arrested.

[F]

Right?

[C]

I mean, sometimes I just want to unplug from whatever matrix we're stuck in right now. Maria, great to see you. Thank you so much for your insights on this. We'll be watching next week, and we'd love to have you back, as always. Thanks, Maria.

[H]

Absolutely. Thank you.

[C]

Appreciate it. Oh, my God. Machete bins. Like, what kind of that.

[G]

That just. I mean, that. That just. I don't even know how to respond. I don't know how to respond. I was just like, okay, maybe in.

[C]

Chicago they should think about that with all the crime, you know, the violent crime, like, just set up gun bins, you know? Hey, I know you were thinking about just randomly shooting a guy on the street.

[G]

Here's the bin Think of all the money they're wasting on gun buybacks when all they really needed to do is just put up a bin. Hey, just put your guns in here. But then again, if I'm. If I'm pissed off at somebody, I'm walking down the street and I'm in Australia and I get pissed off at somebody and I'm like, man, I'd really like, oh, hey, a machete. Like, you know, there's a bin. You got a machete bin.

[C]

Freaking ridiculous machete bin. All right. Well, speaking of craziness, what is happening in Canada? Thousands of people across the province of Alberta lining up signing the independence petition. I mean, across Alberta, like, people, you know, can play it off like, oh, this is a joke. It's not really happening. And then you see the lines, you see the tens of thousands of people that are coming to sign this in the freezing cold. Have you ever been to Canada? You know how cold it is right now? You want to stand out in the middle of the night to sign an independence petition? Like, that's how passionate they are about leaving Canada. We're going to talk about that and so much more in just a second. But first, you heard our discussions a few minutes ago with Peter Schiff about what's happening right now with silver and gold. Well, right now, I'm telling you, this is the time now. Silver hitting over almost a hundred dollars an ounce. Hundred dollars an ounce. Gold almost at $4,700 an ounce. US dollar. Printing continues. And right now, our friends at Lear Capital, to start off the year, are offering right now not $15,000, but $20,000 in free bonus medals with a qualified purchase. And the best thing is to do I just say get on the phone and have a conversation with them. Ask them all the tough questions. Like write down a list of the toughest questions you have about, hey, I've got a few thousand dollars in US Dollars right now. I really want to buy precious metals. What are your prices? Can you tell me how you guys operate? Are you an American company? They are. Just come with your list of questions and get on the phone with them again. They're an American company and they will walk you through the entire process. I personally use them. I have them in my IRA sent right to my house, stored in my safe, and also stored off site. So you can choose either way. We do both, but, you know, it's totally up to you if you want to have, like, if you have a larger purchase, you can have it stored off site in a 24 hour guarded facility. It's totally up to you. Or, you know, a lot of our viewers are like, I don't want it guarded by anyone but me. I want it in my gun safe. You can do you however you want to do it. They'll ship silver coins, gold coins, right to your house. That's how it works. I told you so. I mean, I, I really did. Gold and silver. We're going to reap the benefits of all of this success of money printing. And here we are. I think when I started telling you about gold, gold was around $1700 an ounce. So hopefully, you know, a few years ago, you guys started at least figuring out how to start investing in precious metals. So right now we're seeing banks and investors move out of the dollar and move into gold and silver at a record pace. They know what's coming. They absolutely know what's coming. So, guys, give them a call right now. If you haven't purchased for whatever reason, maybe you called them before and you're like, I was on the fence about it. Whatever, doesn't matter. Just get on the phone and have a conversation. 1-800-613-3557. And ask for their free gold guide. They will send that to you. You can talk about it with your spouse, your loved ones, if it's right for you and your family, or just go to the website learedacted.com and again receive up to $20,000 in free bonus medals with a qualified purchase. So our thanks to Lear Capital for supporting our show for so many years here at redacted. Well, is Alberta, Canada, about to become its own nation? Wouldn't that be incredible? We're rewriting boundaries in real time, folks around the world right now. Would they drop Canada altogether? Become a free and independent state, province, country? It's happening. Tens of thousands of Albertans lining up in the frigid, cold winter to sign the independence petition. Look at the thousands of people. This is just one spot. I mean, this is just one spot in Red Deer. There's so many spots around Alberta where this is happening. Let's bring in David Crayton, who joins us from Ottawa, Canada now. And I asked David yesterday, I said, David, how real is this movement? How real is it? Are we just seeing some of these social media images here, or is this a real independence movement? Movement, David, what did you tell me?

[I]

This is for real? This is the most, potentially the most real opportunity for Alberta to become an independent nation, independent state in the history of Canada. I spoke to my good friend Jeff Rath last night. He's the legal counsel for the Alberta Prosperity Project and this is the chief advocacy organization for Alberta independence. And he said the polls right now are 45% and higher for Alberta independence in the province. That is as high as it's ever been. Because I can remember independence movements in the past, not just in Alberta, but for the entire section of western Canada. It was never anywhere near 45, potentially 50%. It was always a fringe movement where you were lucky. Maybe the score 15% in public opinion in this, maybe 20% at the worst times, with the federal government bearing down on Alberta oil with a national energy program that was very unpopular, but never this high. And you know Clayton, I had to think with your last guest on talking about Canada so much and how Australia and Canada are basically emulating each other with hate crime legislation and hate speech legislation. That's one of the reasons, Clayton, Albertans want to leave. It's because of the out of control, off the rails federal government that is imposing legislation that is just so deplorable and so unwanted by Albertans. They're saying there's no alternative but to leave the country.

[C]

What would you say is their biggest grievance in Alberta? Is there a common thread among maybe farmers, oil producers, or just average Albertans who don't want these draconian speech laws and the Carney government? Is there like one major thread running through all of it?

[I]

There sure is. And it's probably something called equalization payments, which you don't have in the United States. But in Canada equalization payments mean that the richer province essentially pay the bills for the so called poor provinces. Poorer provinces are called have not provinces, richer provinces are called have provinces. Canada has very few have provinces. The most have province in the country of course is Alberta with its natural resources, it's oil industry. So Alberta is not spending billions of dollars of its treasury to support people in Quebec. In Ontario. You think Ontario is not a have province? The industrial sector of the country.

[F]

No.

[I]

Doesn't quite fit the bill. So Alberta is paying the money so Ontario can use Albertans money to pay for social programs and however they want to. And it gets even uglier in Quebec where they're spending even more of Alberta's money on their programs, on their policies. So people resent that tremendously in Alberta. And that is the common denominator whether you're talking about farmers, oil people, businessmen, business people, people who just want to make their money and keep it. And of course imagine that it's the high taxes coming from the federal government and it's the regulations on the oil industry. It's everything that is making Alberta less than it potentially could be.

[C]

One of the top trending hashtags in this on on X is Alberta separation. And you know, this idea that there's this myth about Alberta will be landlocked. And so this has been making the rounds. I want to put this up here on the screen, if you could, Philip. 88% of trade is with the United States. So this idea that this would be landlocked, an independent Alberta will be landlocked. 88% of its trade is with the United States. So what does this exactly mean for maybe a US Partnership here if this goes through? Have you heard any overtures yet from the Trump administration?

[I]

Oh, absolutely. And the Alberta Prosperity Project has sent representatives down to Washington. They have met with top level members of the Trump administration. Two things came out of those meetings, the first of which was the Trump administration would look favorably on an independent Alberta and would welcome any overtures to become the 51st state if that was the wish of Albertans in an independent Alberta. So the response from Washington has been incredibly positive towards Alberta becoming first independent and then potentially, if that's what the people in the province would wish, the 51st state. And these meetings have been going on now for the last nine months. They have been entirely positive. And I, and I say this because people are wondering the big issue now with Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta. She is trying to get a pipeline built with the cooperation of Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has spent his entire career with green energy being paramount, not supporting pipelines in Canada. Pipelines are okay if they're in Brazil or if they're in the third World someplace. But pipelines in Canada, no, that would not work with his net zero policies. So Mark Carney sort of pulled a fast one, signed a memorandum of understanding with Daniel Smith, said, oh, we'll agree to a pipeline. However, if we agree to the pipeline, you have to agree to increase the industrial carbon tax on Albertan oil by 600%, six times. So that's going to put Alberta energy very much out of the reach of the United States. If, and this is a point I have been stressing for the past couple of weeks, if that cheap Venezuelan oil begins to flow north, how do you think the United States is going to respond to that? Because this is the same type of oil, Clayton. It's heavy crude, it's high in sulfur. It's the kind of oil that is used primarily to make diesel fuel, which is the fuel of industrial power. So it's indispensable to American. The US Oil, the petroleum, the crude supplies are not that kind of oil that you can make petroleum out of. So the US Needs this kind of oil. Where is it going to get it? Well, if the infrastructure is rebuilt in Venezuela, and I predict Donald Trump will do that, with or without the private sector cooperating, it's going to be a much more favorable response. So this is why Alberta needs a pipeline through British Columbia to the west coast, so he can begin to ship oil other places rather than just the United States. A pipeline. It's not just a pipeline anymore. It's a lifeline for this province. And Premier Smith has already said, okay, if Carney's not serious about this pipeline, and he's recently said, well, I think we're going to have to have the concurrence, the agreement of first nations people in British Columbia, which is absolutely nonsensical. Courts have already said first nations, the indigenous peoples, should be consulted. But any pipeline going through B.C. does not require their approval. They have no veto. Carney's now talking like they do have that veto.

[F]

Why?

[I]

Because Carney really doesn't want a pipeline going to the West Coast. He wants to squash Alberta's energy resources. But Alberta will go through the state of Washington if it has to. Premier Smith has already said that that's the plan. And that is why Alberta doesn't trust the federal government to build that pipeline or to support that pipeline with a private sector contract. They know the federal government cannot be trusted. It still wants to put a vice, put a vice inside Alberta's aspirations and to stop them, to stymie them, to squash them.

[C]

So you said something, many things very important there. And I think that. And you already see the Trump administration, who wants to drill, baby, drill. They've already opened up Alaska. So if you want a partner who can facilitate drilling and pipeline building, Trump's your guy. It's already an executive order, for crying out loud. This is a national security issue now for the United States, as Trump has said. But the other piece of this is would they want to become the 51st state, as you mentioned? And so there's huge support to become free in independent Alberta, nearly 45%. How much support is there to become the 51st state of America?

[I]

That's a good question. I've seen numbers as high as 25%. And given the current scenario, given the current reality, would that go up if Alberta became an independent nation? Potentially. But I tell you, the Alberta Prosperity Project has put the financing out there. They have put exactly how things would be as an independent state. And Alberta could be as prosperous as Kuwait if the federal government was off their backs, if they were allowed to develop their natural resources as they could, and they should, they would be one of the most prosperous countries in the world. Now, that would be, I would suggest, an impediment to Albertans wanting to become the 51st state. And I'm not even convinced that would be a popular idea to a lot of legislators in Washington, mainly Democratic ones, because Alberta would be automatically a Republican, a red state. That's the kind of politics it is. And it would be. It would automatically have two senators that would be Republican, upsetting, of course, this whole balance of power in Washington. So the idea of Alberta Becoming a 51st state is fraught with difficulties. Not so much from Albertans, but from, I think, Americans and American politicians specifically. There was all kinds of, as you know, controversy about bringing Alaska and Hawaii into the Union as the 49th and 50th states. Lots of politics behind that decision. Some people said, well, we don't want those people from Alaska. They're not as civilized as we are. And some people said the same thing about Hawaiians, that, hey, they're not really up to the same category. So there's always controversy when you bring in a new state. And I think bringing in Alberta would generate a lot of controversy amongst Americans, specifically those in Washington.

[C]

Well, it might be the 52nd state if Greenland. If Greenland beats him to the punch, who knows? Or if Puerto Rico finally decides to pull the trigger and actually become the 51st state of the United States. Well, this is fascinating. David, thank you so much for this. I guess we'll wrap it up here with a few seconds here. What is next for this independence petition?

[I]

Well, as soon as they secure the adequate numbers in terms of voter response, and they're going to be there very quickly, given the people who are standing. You joked about the Canadian winters. Well, I'm in Ottawa here. It's not only bloody cold, we've got a blizzard going on, but people are standing out in very, very cold temperatures in lineups, demonstrating their desire to have this question on a referendum this year. So by fall, there will be. Unless something incredible happens to stop it. And the premier of the province is behind it. Elections. Alberta is behind this process. So it's very unlikely anything is going to stop it. There will be a referendum question on a ballot by the fall of 2026 this year. That question has not been formalized yet, but it's going to be from the people I've talked to, my sources, Jeff Rath included, it's going to be a very simple question. Should Alberta be independent and leave Canada? It's gonna be very simple. Something like that.

[C]

Wow. I would love to see it. I would love to see a shake up like that. And you're right, I think, you know, Norway, look at Norway. Once Norway discovered oil, became, you know, one of the most prosperous country in the world by arguably. Right. And not being hamstrung by other, other provinces, other countries telling it what to do. In Alberta would have that same opportunity, although landlocked. They don't have the ports, of course, but they would have that prosperity to themselves instead of having to ship it off to Toronto and other liberal provinces to fuel this insanity that's happening in Canada right now. Cut them off. Cut them off.

[I]

Well, I have to say, I have to say again, Clayton, if you ask about what riles Albertans the most, it's definitely their forced subsidization of Ontario and Quebec. And in the process, what do they get back from Ottawa but a kick in the teeth all the time. No, you can't do this. No, you can't dig for your resources, leave your oil in the ground, leave your fossil fuels where they are and we're going to head for a net zero policy. And no matter if we all starve and live in the cold, that's the political response. Albertans are sick of that because it doesn't have to be their reality anymore.

[C]

Well said. David Creighton, who writes of the Post Millennial, great independent journalist from Ottawa, Canada. Always great to see you, David. Thank you for all of your reporting and great work on this.

[I]

Thank you so much, Clayton. Always a pleasure to be with you.

[C]

Appreciate it. Thanks, David. All right. What do you think about that? I mean, can you imagine? You imagine? I just, I love the idea of, well, you grow, you, you know, you grew up thinking about Canada. This is monolithic country. And you think Alberta is going to break free, become its own country and then be surrounded by Canada on either side. It's very fascinating. Then would British Columbia fall too? Would it join? Would you have this like western, western block of Alberta and British Columbia.

[F]

Or.

[C]

As yesterday we talked with Derek Brosen, it becomes the technape and it becomes some part of the United States or some sort of, some sort of a North American technate power all the way up to Alaska, Greenland, all the way down into Latin America. Strange times we're living in right now for sure.

[D]

It's crazy, eh?

[C]

On Saskatchewan too. Oh, yeah. So British Columbia.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Let me look at my map. Trying to think is Saskatchewan for looking at the map to the left or the right, getting provinces up.

[G]

I believe it's to the left to the right, but I am not a. Yeah.

[C]

British Columbia is to the left, to the coast and then to the right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Saskatchewan. So, yeah. Would you have like, would you have B.C. and Saskatchewan joining? So you'd have that whole section Because Saskatchewan.

[G]

I mean, I doubt it because BC BC is basically just the Pacific Northwest Canada edition.

[C]

Right.

[G]

So they would probably. They'd probably join Washington, probably.

[D]

You can get some really good weed in hemp. B.C.

[C]

Where? In hemp?

[D]

Hemp, B.C.

[C]

Yeah. You shop there regularly?

[D]

I. I did when I lived in Seattle back in the day.

[C]

Yeah. Anyway. All right. Hey, we had a newsletter we should tell you about. Our newsletter comes out every morning while Monday through Friday. Actually, we're at. Which we're getting in the habit now of trying to add a Friday edition right now. But all you need to do to sign up for our great newsletter is just go over to redacted.inc and put in your email address. You will receive a welcome email from me. You just need to. It might go up. It might show up in your spam folder or your junk folder. Just drag it over to your inbox. So that way when we publish the new newsletter in the mornings, you'll get it, you'll receive it. Now, like I said, Gmail labels our newsletter as dangerous. So you might get a little label on it. If you're a Gmail subscriber that says, hey, Google thinks that this newsletter is dangerous. You can give them the middle finger and tell them, f you, I signed up for it. I want to read it. Just because you want to keep. Keep spoon feeding us propaganda, Google, I want to read real news. So we cover about four or five of the big stories of the day. It's a great way for us to stay connected. You can read in about five or 10 minutes over your cup of coffee or your morning tea and biscuit. And we work really hard on it to provide value for it. BC Purple says BC is the cannabis capital of the world. I believe that. And British Columbia is, though, I mean, completely overrun by like East India Indians. Like, I mean, it's totally unrecognizable from the, you know, from British Columbia a few decades ago. Like, it's all East Indians now run everything in British Columbia. So put that up for a vote. I wonder how many of them won't even care or even notice, you know, but like indigenous Canadians who've been there for, you know, decades and decades and decades, how would they feel about leaving Canada? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if, like. Well, certainly Alberta wouldn't want, like Vancouver and all their LGBTQ plus stuff. I'm sure they would stay away from all that stuff. But, yeah.

[F]

See.

[C]

Well, all right, we kind of went really long today, but let's see, we got a few super chats, a few new members. Mark Montimoney playing my songs. 1970 became a new member. Massad, thank you for your super chat. AFF medic says Massad is complaining about no sound. All they had to do was reload, refresh the screen. Five bucks. Thank you so much. Yeah, and by the way, if you subscribe to the show, your name will pop up here on the big screen. So if you want to join the rebellion and you're not already a subscriber of the channel, please do. Please subscribe and please do. We appreciate that. Clayton, you think about talking about the Freemasons one day? Well, we did a whole series actually on some of the demonic Freemasonry in Washington. Washington, dc. Check out our series. We did. I think it's like a three part series about Satanism and freemasonry. What is the name of that playlist we have on our channel? Philip, off the top of your head, do you know by any chance?

[G]

Oh, not right off the top of my head, but you can find the playlist. But it's. They're. They're kind of linked together. That was with. It was the Washington D.C. with Michael Sala was a three part.

[C]

Yeah. Looking on our playlists. I can't remember and I don't see it. I thought we had a playlist for it.

[G]

Yeah, there's not for that specific series, but it's in one of the. It's in the. I want to say, like, I can't remember the name of that playlist.

[C]

Redacted Conversations.

[G]

No, it's not in Conversations. That's the long form. Give me a second, I'll find it.

[C]

I only see. Oh, I got to go page to page. I didn't realize we had more pages. I was seeing like. I was like, why am I only seeing one page of playlists? That doesn't make sense. Yeah, but we try to put things together in nice playlists for you here on the channel, on YouTube. Anyway, Rumble doesn't let us do that yet. I don't believe.

[G]

Right, David, It's a UFO and paranormal news playlist.

[C]

So yeah, check it out. We've got a playlist here. UFO and paranormal news on the channel. And specifically we talked about Freemasons and the Order beyond. You know, it's, it was a pretty deep dive discussion about that. So check that out, see if, see if that makes you happy. But I would like to do more of a deep dive on that. At some point we should do like.

[D]

A series like where we start off because we're working on the redacted files or the Knights of the Temple Templar and then just go right into three Masons and just follow it through history.

[C]

Yeah, I love that. All right, well, thank you guys for subscribing to the channel. Really appreciate it on this Thursday evening. I hope you guys have a wonderful evening. We'll be back on. We got content coming out. We've got some great conversations coming out this week for you as well. So we're really trying to do. By the way, I'll ask you guys, do you guys enjoy our longer form conversations? It seems like you do because the feedback on them is great. I just, you know, we want to do, I want to do a lot more this year with those.

[F]

You know.

[C]
