II. Israeli Resistance and IDF Actions in Gaza

A. Ex-Military Group’s "Perimeter" Report Natalie introduces the alarming situation in Gaza, highlighting a report titled "The Perimeter" published by the ex-military group Breaking the Silence. This report details the systematic destruction of Palestinian homes and agricultural land along the Gaza border to establish an expanded buffer zone.

Notable Quote:

• Natalie Morris [03:00]: "Israel told their military, by the soldier zone admission, that they would expand the buffer zone... this is how you get soldiers to do terrible things."

B. Systematic Destruction and Use of Limpet Mines The hosts discuss the three-kilometer deep buffer zone, where Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are instructed to destroy anything within this area. Due to dwindling explosives, soldiers are now resorting to limpet mines, originally designed for naval use, causing traumatic brain injuries from unexpected blasts.

Notable Quote:

• Natalie Morris [04:10]: "They are not supposed to be exploded on land. This is what we're talking about."

C. Concentration Camps for Palestinians Israel's strategy involves relocating Palestinians into what they term concentration camps, a move echoed by the Associated Press as the situation escalates into potential genocide and war crimes.

D. Guest Interview – Abu Bakr Abed Palestinian journalist Abu Bakr Abed joins the discussion from Ireland, providing firsthand accounts of Gaza's devastation. He emphasizes the humanitarian crisis, including widespread malnutrition among children and the systematic annihilation of infrastructure like hospitals and universities.

Notable Quotes:

• Abu Bakr Abed [12:52]: "Israel is applying the collective punishment policy, the starvation policy is denying the entry, is blocking entry of aid medical supplies into Gaza so it can speed up its genocide."
• Abu Bakr Abed [19:16]: "You cannot destroy the spirits of the people. You cannot destroy them. Those people are indigenous to their land."

E. Hosts' Reflections Clayton and Natalie express shock and dismay at the reported atrocities, underscoring the unlikelihood of success through force alone, as the Palestinian spirit remains unbroken.

Notable Quote:

• Natalie Morris [24:44]: "We are here to talk about what's true."

III. Federal Issues: FBI Under Trump Administration

A. Recent Incidents and Investigation Shortcomings The discussion shifts to the FBI's performance under President Trump, touching on the discovery of cocaine in the Biden White House, the Supreme Court leak, and the lack of progress on high-profile cases like Epstein and JFK investigations.

B. Interview with Steve Friend – FBI Whistleblower Steve Friend critiques the FBI's current leadership, highlighting inefficiencies and a failure to deliver on promises. He compares the FBI's approach to a Ponzi scheme, where unmet promises erode public trust.

Notable Quotes:

• Steve Friend [34:18]: "They're expending a lot of capital. It's almost like a credibility Ponzi scheme."
• Steve Friend [35:59]: "The only solution at this point is to defang this attack dog."

C. Hosts' Concerns Clayton and Natalie express frustration over the FBI's inability to prioritize critical domestic threats, emphasizing the weaponization of government agencies against American citizens and the looming threat of AI-driven surveillance.

Notable Quote:

• Steve Friend [38:18]: "Weaponized government, our own is the greatest threat to the American people."

IV. Assassination Attempt on Putin and Russia’s Response

A. Putin's Close Call with Drone Strikes The podcast covers a massive drone attack targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to the Kursk Oblast. According to the Kremlin, Putin narrowly escaped death, attributing the attack to NATO-coordinated efforts.

Notable Quotes:

• Clayton Morris [60:15]: "Putin was almost killed by a massive NATO drone attack."
• Abu Bakr Abed [50:43]: "NATO is responsible for all telemetry and targeting which we've exposed here on the show many months ago."

B. Trump’s Comments and Lack of Awareness Clayton highlights Trump's statement labeling Putin as "gone crazy," questioning whether Trump was kept uninformed about the assassination attempt, suggesting a possible breach in advisory communications.

Notable Quote:

• Clayton Morris [60:28]: "He didn't seem to know that Putin had been nearly assassinated."

C. Russia’s Escalation with Drone Strikes In response to the attempted assassination, Russia has launched massive drone strikes across Ukraine, targeting key infrastructure and Patriot missile systems supplied by the U.S. These attacks have doubled in intensity, overwhelming Ukraine's and NATO's defense capabilities.

Notable Quotes:

• Natalie Morris [55:50]: "Russia is moving further now beyond the front, creating a new front in a buffer zone."
• Clayton Morris [50:43]: "Russia knocked out and destroyed a Patriot missile system. It's like hitting ghosts at this point."

D. Ineffectiveness of NATO’s Defense Systems The hosts critique the Patriot missile systems for their inability to effectively counter the swarms of shahed drones, highlighting the inefficiency and high costs of such defense measures.

Notable Quotes:

• Clayton Morris [57:01]: "NATO can't stop them now."
• Natalie Morris [56:30]: "We were originally told we wouldn't send, now we have the consequences."

E. Media Reporting and NATO’s Role Clayton points out inaccuracies in the Western media's reporting on Germany’s Chancellor declaring no limits on weapon systems for Ukraine, clarifying that such decisions had already been made months prior.

Notable Quote:

• Clayton Morris [66:09]: "The Western media of course would love nothing more than an escalation of this."

Transcript

[Clayton Morris]

Welcome everybody to redacted on this Tuesday. So glad to have you here. Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day and honored those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for the United States. Hope you got to spend some time with your family. And thank you for letting us enjoy a day off. We got a lot of news to get to on this on this Tuesday.

[Natalie Morris]

Welcome, I'm Natalie Morris. And today we're going to talk about who are the Israeli resisters. What are we learning from people inside Israel who are corroborating? Yes, it's a genocide, yes, it's war crimes. We're gonna talk about what is actually happening and we're gonna talk to a reporter from Gaza on the ground there.

[Clayton Morris]

Also, President Trump calling out Vladimir Putin saying that he is gone crazy. And now you have of course, the Russian team. Russia responding Medvedev just moments ago, sending. The only thing that has gone crazy is the potential for World War 3. You better pay attention to what's about to happen here. Massive amounts of drone strikes inside Russia. Russia responding with massive amounts of drone strikes on their own against selected targets all across Ukraine. We're gonna bring you up to speed on exactly what's happening there.

[Natalie Morris]

Plus, is Emmanuel Macron in an abusive relationship? Has he been groomed since he was a 14 year old child? Yes. And this weekend's incident is more proof of that. Yeah, I understand how there's intrigue there. It's kind of embarrassing, it's humiliating. Also, it highlights the very uncomfortable power dynamic. Think about if he was a woman and what we would think if the fact that this woman had been groomed since the age of 14 and is now in public being abused by the groomer doesn't matter if Brigitte Macron is a man or a woman. What matters is the fact that we know. And we're gonna go over it because it as as like intriguing as it is. And maybe some are saying it's funny. It really isn't. It's not at all. And we're gonna talk about why. What the hell is happening with leadership in the West.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah, all of that and more. But let's start with this Israeli story because it's absolutely insane.

[Natalie Morris]

All right, well, concentration camps, you guys. Israel building concentration camps. I don't have to point out the irony about that. That's what Israel is building for Palestinians. They say within two months they will control 75% of Gaza. But there is a growing resistance inside Israel. Israelis are risking their lives to tell us about it, and it's worth listening. Just recently, group of Ex military called Breaking the Silence. This is an old group, actually. This group has been talking for decades about what the IDF is forced to do to Palestinians. They published this report called the Perimeter. What they detail is systematic destruction of homes and agricultural land along the Gaza border to create what's called an expanded buffer zone. Now, there's always been a thin line between Gaza and Israel. I beg you to read this because it shows exactly what the IDF has been doing since October 7th and how systemic the destruction is. Israel told their military, by the soldier zone admission, that they would expand the buffer zone. So take a look here. Now, this buffer zone is three kilometers deep. Basically, anything on the Israeli border, and in three kilometers, we will destroy. Now, they told the soldiers it would take about a year to do it, and they assigned each of them polygons of land to destroy. If you read your history, you know that this is how you get soldiers to do terrible things. The Mongols famously would say, Here are your 100 people to behead today. And that's what they would do. Go off to work. Israeli soldiers are being given a polygon of land. You go destroy that. Using what they call the Dubi, which means the teddy bear in Hebrew. Here's the teddy bear. I found this image on Flickr. It was uploaded by an Israeli who perhaps thought the rainbow behind it was a blessing for this. I don't know.

[Clayton Morris]

It's a beauty shot. It's a glamour shot.

[Natalie Morris]

Yes. I mean, you see this coming. This is straight out of the Hunger Games, wouldn't you say?

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah.

[Natalie Morris]

The fact that this is coming for your farmland, it's like the people that.

[Clayton Morris]

Like, sign and put their names on missiles. That's basically what this looks like to me.

[Natalie Morris]

Right? You can. I mean, I think it goes without saying that anybody who ordains this destruction is nowhere near the blast, nowhere near where it needs to. Where it is actually happening now before the teddy goes in. First they demolish these buildings and they're assigned polygon. But look how it's being done. A soldier. This is a soldier saying that when something has to get blown up, you're used to having explosive kits, and then the engineers come and blow it up, but they're out of them. They've used up all of the explosives, so now they're doing it with mines. They said God knows where these were stored. What they mean are limpet mines, typically naval explosives, originally meant to be magnetically attached to ships.

[Clayton Morris]

They.

[Natalie Morris]

They are not supposed to be exploded on land. This is what we're talking about. This image so even if you don't care about Palestinian destruction, this is also terrible for idf soldiers. They're subject to traumatic brain injury by repeated exposure to blasts that are supposed to happen under the sea, not near them on land. Also, the soldiers admit that after they set off these blasts, they have found evidence of Israeli hostages in the places that they're blowing. Blowing up, which is an admission that they are killing their own. Here is they say, what's more, I'll say that we found hostages, belongings, by which we mean fu. We have no sentiment about this because they had their hostages there in these places while they're destroying these things. They readily admit that this is farmland, industry. According to the report, the D9 or the teddy bear taking down mainly fields, agriculture, olive trees, eggplant fields. Just a very large excavator comes through, takes out all the soil, kind of rolls it up and fl. Is there ever an excuse? There's no hamas in an eggplant farm, right? Why are you blowing this up? So why don't. And again, why don't the Palestinians have food? Well, we're showing you that they systematically went to destroy it. One soldier expressed sadness that there was once this idea of living together in peace, but now he's blowing it up. He's saying, this industry here makes me sad because this was set up by the Oslo accords when there was hope of peace, thinking that we would have peaceful trade, but now we're just blowing that up complet. The report also shows that at some point they're running out of ammo. They said, you know, originally we shoot every male, full stop. We shoot at women and children and elderly. We kind of shoot at their feet to get them to disperse. But the men, we shoot to kill. Now they're saying, you know, after a month, it's like economics set in, like, oh, I need the shells for maneuver so, you know, don't shoot at everybody indiscriminately. But they're saying it's not a moral call, it's economics. But who will send more? I think you know the answer to that. The United States just Today marked the 800th plane load of u. S. Guns, guns, bombs and ammo as the war nears, day 600. So at your service, sir. We will happily send more of those. That's what they're doing now. This has been the process since October of 2023. But now Israel is moving Palestinians into what they're calling, not ironically, a concentrated area, concentration camps. And this has been corroborated by the Associated Press, who suddenly has woken up to the fact that human rights and war crimes are taking place there. Now, they say they will distribute humanitarian aid, but they are doing it in a truly dystopic way, using mercenary forces and biometrics to police civilians. Again, straight out of the Hunger Games. Have you not seen this in a Star wars episode? In a Hunger Games episode? Clayton, help me. What. What are some other dystopic. This is happening. We will scan you, we will police you. If you want to live here, we will put you in concentration camps. This is every dystopic nightmare.

[Clayton Morris]

I know every. Well, like every movie. This is like so many different science fiction movies. I mean, from what, Gattaca to how many other movies are like, where they're kept in concentration camps, scanned, Even like Ready Player One, you know, like, you know, separated and kept. Was that Matt Damon movie where you weren't allowed to go up to the. Up to that upper atmosphere.

[Natalie Morris]

Elysium.

[Clayton Morris]

Elysium, yeah. I mean, you had to be. Remain, you know, remain on. On site.

[Natalie Morris]

Right. And this is our reality. Fiction has warned us about this dystopic future, and it's happening. Abu. I'm sorry. Abu Bakr Abed is a journalist from Gaza. He reports for Dropside News and he joins us today. So thank you so much for joining us. This is he in. Yes, hello. Nice to meet you, sir. So did you hear my summary of the perimeter in Gaza and can you corroborate that this is true from the IDF soldiers own mouths?

[Abu Bakr Abed]

Well, first, thanks for having me. I didn't hear what you said fully, to be honest, but I think we've seen the footage coming out. But just to make sure, I'm in Ireland, I'm not from Gaza.

[Natalie Morris]

Right, okay. Oh, I'm sorry. We put. Yes, but you are a Palestinian journalist is what I am about. Gather. I apologize. Right, Yeah.

[Abu Bakr Abed]

I recently fled, so just to make sure. No worries. Yes.

[Natalie Morris]

I'm glad you are safe.

[Abu Bakr Abed]

Yeah. Thank you. So what emerged today from Gaza is just the normal reaction from staff and population because over the past 80 days, nothing has changed on the ground. And you can't really just expect the population to just behave well because they have been deprived of everything. And the way that the Israelis are distributing aid is not fair at all. It's just a way to dehumanize Palestinians. And this is something completely unacceptable by every single Palestinian. And that is an experience that I had gone through. And this is one of the main reasons that we're seeing today the signs of Malnutrition on thousands of Palestinian children. And we have to remind people that half of the population in Gaza is children. And one of the reasons left Gaza was because I had contracted an acute malnutrition. And despite the fact that I left Gaza almost a month and a half ago, I'm still treating myself from it. So you can just imagine what it means with the entirety of the population who are still stuck in the bch territory. What Israel is doing is just a continuation of its starvation policy and to pressure the to go ahead with its plan to move Palestinians out of the Strip. But again, I don't think they will succeed because those Palestinians know that they are indigenous to this land, that they can't leave their homes at all. And this is not the first time Israel has imposed this crippling siege on Gaza, not allowing a sip of water or a trickle of aid to in. But it's been the third time since the outset of its genocide and the BC's enclave. And in the second, in the last two times, nothing has paid off. So no matter what happens right now, nothing will pay off as well. Because we are humans and we must be humanized. We have the rights as every other one across the globe, as every human being across the globe to receive food, to have food, to have education, to have everything but Israel. Since the start of or since the out of outbreak of its genocidal warm, the Strip has been systematically and repeatedly targeting and annihilating every aspect of life, including education, health and other things as well. So you wouldn't expect anything, anything other than a very probably, I wouldn't say aggressive, but a very normal and expected reaction from Gazans who have been starved, ostracized, marginalized, bombarded and terrorized all the time. And they have been always calling out on the international community to make something and on the world's government to stop Israel from speeding up its genocide. But nothing has been or no action has been taken. And that's one of the main reasons why Israel is still mass murdering and carbon bombing Gaza until now. Although the entirety of the populations, as I reported from Gaza, it was totally gutted. So there is nothing left to destroy. But Israel is destroying even the rubble of homes right now.

[Natalie Morris]

Goodness.

[Clayton Morris]

I mean when you see these homes, I mean totally destroyed, we saw the plan of course, was it operations, Gideon's chariots to basically level the remaining rubble and remove any of these remaining homes. You have a lot of people in the chat, they're saying thank you for, for telling the truth on this. And then you have others that are saying, liar, you're a liar. This is, there's no genocide at all. These people are fine. They're all terrorists. Like, how do you respond to people that are calling you a liar or say that there's no genocide taking place there and that everything is fine and that all of these little children, they're just, they're Hamas terrorists at three years old, two years old, babies.

[Abu Bakr Abed]

You said it yourself, it's just nonsense. They are genocide deniers and one day we're going to hold everyone accountable as denied this genocide, if you think about it quite thoroughly think about it, like what? Like for example, Hamas doesn't constitute more than 2% of the population. 10% of the population, let's say. So 19 of the population are innocent civilians. And they haven't. Like, I've not decided to, I've not decided that I wanted really to go through a war. Okay, so it's just a small minority of the population. So then why was I starved? Why was I forced to go outside my home country and seek refuge in another country? Because Israel has threatened me. Why Israel has threatened me because I was exposing its war crimes in Gaza. Then half of the population of children, how I never held a gun in my life and. But the Israeli military and the Israelis claimed that I was a Hamas operative, although I didn't hold a gun in my entire life. Half of the population are children. Most of them are newborn babies. How can you really like if for, for, for a first grade student or young child who hasn't learned anything in his life, if you, or in their lives, just ask them just a question. Do you think you can hold a gun and go to a battle against the Israeli military or something? Or hold a rocket? It's all nonsense. It's just, it's just something that no one can believe at all. And then if it is, if it is no genocide, why 89, 85% of the populate of the units in Gaza have been entirely destroyed? Why hospitals have been bombed? Why Israel? Why the. All universities in Gaza except one have been destroyed. And another important thing, by the way, because the sports scene in Gaza, which has nine football stadiums and around a hundred others football facilities or 100 football facilities, why Israel has destroyed them? What is there in the football facilities? So this is the meaning of the genocide. And for me it's not even a genocide, it's a holocaust. Because when you Talk about that, 64,000 people have been killed. This is of course including the 10,000 people who are still under the rubble and this is an underestimated number because people have been myself seeing all the people who have been killed and not brought to hospitals because the death toll is based on bringing numbers or is based on the cobuses that are brought or dispatched into the hospitals. Many corpuses, when I was reporting from Gaza, they were buried outside in the streets. They were buried in the courtyards of hospitals and the courtyards of homes. So those figures were not added to the real death toll. And I was in Gaza. The last images that I had or the last report that I had done in Gaza was with the drop site news. It was on four children. The first was a nine year old child who was hit by an Israel airstrike in central Gaza. His half, half of his body l vanished and he had a surgery for six hours. But because Israel has been denying the entry of essential medical supplies into Gaza, he has died. The other child was seven years old. Yeah, she had full body burns, a complete left arm, left leg fracture and a spinal cord injury. And she's receiving treatment at the moment in the ICU of Alexa Martyrs Hospital in Daryl Bella. The other girl is just 11 years old. She had a, an acute lung contusion and she is, is coughing and sneezing every single day. So Israel's war is on children, basically based on that. Because when you go to any hospital in Gaza, the vast majority of you can find inside the hospital wards is children. So this is a war against children, against women. And very important to mention that Israel is obliging or forcing military service on its population. So everyone who exceeds 18 years old must serve in the military in Gaza. It's not the same story. Hamas never came to me and told me, abu Bakr, you must join the military. She never, it never approached me. And it's not obligatory. That's why Hamas is a very small minority in Gaza and we're not responsible for an action a small group of people has done. We can't say in another country that when some people do something that the whole population must be punished. So Israel is applying the collective punishment policy, the starvation policy is denying the entry, is blocking entry of aid medical supplies into Gaza so it can speed up its genocide. Tell me, which military in history has denied the entry of aid and medical supplies into Gaza? What is the military objective that Israel wants to accomplish by doing so? And the country, it's not a country, in my opinion. It's a colonial terrorist project. The project that does something like this is just a project that is genocidal and that wants to carry out holocaust. And this is what Israel is about. That's why it's killing children, that's why it keeps mass murdering children and women everywhere, even in the streets. And I myself talking to you from here here, I myself have survived multiple Israel air strikes and it could have been killed at any moment. So there's no way to deny this genocide. And anyone who's deny it, who's denying it is just a genocide. Cheerleader.

[Natalie Morris]

No, from the soldiers own reports, I'm quoting to you from a report called the Perimeter from Breaking the Silence, which is a group of ex Israeli military who said when they were asked what is the goal when you leave an area, they are assigned small, you know, parcels of land and it's go and totally destroy it. And they started with the food, they started with the food that the Gazans had to support themselves. Here's the question, what does it look like when you're done? Hiroshima. That's what I'm saying, Hiroshima. They are admitting that that's what they are doing when they are asked, you know, is there a talk about saving the civilians. This Israeli military says there is no civilian population, they're terrorists, all of them. So they are trained in this way. This is very much the way the Nazis were taught in order to exterminate. Right? We've seen this, we've seen this before. And so I'm very curious when you say, well they've tried to do this to us before, they're not going to succeed. But the level of destruction is so devastating, I don't understand why you think they won't succeed.

[Abu Bakr Abed]

Conclusion I'm sorry to interrupt you. You can destroy the homes, but you cannot destroy the spirits of the people. You cannot destroy them. Those people are indigenous to their land. They are the rightful owners of this land and you can't beat them whatever you do. Israel has used, under the auspices of all the western countries across the globe, under the auspices of the western governments in particular have used, used all the weaponry needed to finish the job as they claim. But they haven't done anything right. They haven't brought back their prisoners, they haven't succeeded in that at all. And they have just because there was only one way to get the their prisoners back, which is diplomatic negotiations with Hamas. And they have been trying that under the auspices and by the help of every western country, particularly the U.S. but they haven't succeeded in that. So what is the aim of continuing the war? Every political now, including presidents of several countries across the globe are encouraging Israel to go ahead with the negotiations. But what is right now happening is we are hearing the reports on the ongoing negotiations and this kind of protracted negotiations, and it is. Those negotiations are protracted because Israel is procrastinating all the time and it wants to kill more, as many more Palestinians as it can.

[Clayton Morris]

So.

[Abu Bakr Abed]

So if Israel wanted its prisoners back and if Israel really wanted to end this war, it could have been ended since the first weeks of this war. But Israel didn't want that. It just wanted to destroy everything. So now I understand your point. Gaza is gutted. The people are also gutted. I'm very fully aware of that. But you can't beat these people. These people know there's weight, there are spirits there, blood, everything. Their pain is there. How can you really force them out? Trump has said about that. He stated a very obvious ultimatum against, against the population. He has not succeeded. Israel is using all the weaponry to annihilate and exterminate and wipe out all families. Although right now there have been, and this is something I reported on in Gaza, there have been 1000, at least 1200 families wiped out, wiped out in Gaza. There are still many families who know and who are very connected and rooted in their land and they will not leave it. Because for the population of Gaza and for me, because I'm right now talking to you, I'm right now talking to you from Ireland, and I've tried the luxury of the west and, and I've been here around the fussy buildings, and I've seen all the beauty here. It's a beautiful country. I can't deny that. But for me, I can tell you, after a month and a half, almost a month and a half, are for me a cottage or a damaged house in Gaza. The wreckage of any house in Gaza is for me better than any castle all across the globe, because my heart is there and it will never leave Gaza. So that is the point why Israel and the United States, as they are very much participating in this genocide, they will never succeed in beating the Palestinians because. Because you can't beat people who are indigenous to their land, no matter what it takes.

[Clayton Morris]

It's. Yeah, just reading this report is just, I mean, shocking. I encourage, you know, anyone who wants to educate themselves on exactly what these Israeli soldiers are talking about. Written by Israelis who are telling us, telling the world right now what is actually happening. Again, this is not propaganda. I guess people could say in the chat, people are in the chat are like, oh, this is propaganda. Okay, this is okay. But this is written by Israelis telling, I Guess trying to clear their conscience of what they're having to.

[Natalie Morris]

What they're having to do. It bears repeating. Israelis themselves are risking their own safety to speak out against this. You see hundreds of thousands of hundreds. Well, I would say thousands of people gathering in the streets with signs that say Palestinian lives matter. Not everybody can live with this cloud of death right next door. And so the world seems to be waking up to this. I admire your optimism on this. For those of us who just can't see it with our own eyes and have not, it feels desperate. So thank you for coming on our show to share that with us.

[Clayton Morris]

Thank you so much.

[Abu Bakr Abed]

Thank you so much. You're so welcome. Thanks for the work you're doing.

[Natalie Morris]

Thank you.

[Clayton Morris]

Thank you.

[Natalie Morris]

Thank you. Okay. I mean, I don't know how to respond to that because he's saying this will not work. And I'm like. But I'm watching it to this day is horrible. We're living with it.

[Clayton Morris]

Well, I mean, you know, we've had like, Dan Cohen, Jewish journalist, on, and he, as Dan has pointed out, like, and, and others and military experts have said, you know, Israel can do all the bombing they want. They can use all the US Weapons they want, and they can bomb and destroy as much of Gaza as they want. They can kill tens of thousands of people, children, women, and yes, members of Hamas. They can try to kill as many of them as they want, and it's just not going to work. I mean, those are Dan's words. Those are the words of military experts we've had here on the show who are vehemently against this, this, this genocide. But it's hard when you look at those pictures, when you see those images.

[Natalie Morris]

Or when you read their own account, right, when they say, we are assigned a bit of land and then we go and we just full on destroy it. And then people cannot eat and they cannot get goods shipped and they cannot. Right. And so how will, given that this is what it's been like and they've been lied to. They told. They were told it only take a year. They were told that they would be safe. Most of the time, it's not a war really happening. It's grunt work. You go in like a demolition contractor and just raise the land and you are subject to either booby traps left behind by Hamas or any kind of. I mean, nobody's actively fighting them. That this is the reality of it. So to call it a war as if there are two sides is a misnomer. Let us know how you feel about this we are, you know, again, we're gonna stay on it.

[Clayton Morris]

Lance. Lance in our chat says, I don't care. Okay, that's one way to look at it. Imagine, like, imagine watching videos like we do on a daily basis where snipers, you know, put like a child's head in a crosshairs and blow the child's head apart, like, and then just saying, I don't care. Or imagine seeing like videos of little girls trying to escape fire. Or imagine watching like a flood somewhere and seeing some, you know, group of people being killed or. I mean, just to say I don't care. I mean, I guess that's one way to look about it.

[Natalie Morris]

I mean, anyway, Lance, why'd you come here? I mean, we're an anti war channel, so how'd you get stuck here?

[Clayton Morris]

I don't know. He's like, he's like, I thought this was a Mr. Beast channel. I want to see people blowing up slime in people's cars. I didn't realize you guys were going to talk about actual genocide.

[Natalie Morris]

Right. Just so we're clear, we are one of the largest anti war channels on YouTube. So you're in the wrong place place if you don't care.

[Clayton Morris]

Okay. Yeah. If you're new here, welcome in. You know, I spent however long, what, 10 years at Fox News Channel anchoring their morning show and left and went independent. My wife, my beautiful wife, a journalist, a writer by trade who started as a newspaper journalist and then became a broadcast journalist over the years for CBS News, left and went independent. So we're on this show, try to cover the stories that the mainstream media ignores. So if you flip on Fox News or MSNBC or any of those other channels, they're all going to be giving you one narrative. They're going to be giving you one story, and they expect you to follow it and swallow it. We don't do that here on this show. So thank you guys for joining us. Thank you for subscribing and being a part of our show.

[Natalie Morris]

I think if you don't care about that narrative, you must have been a really big fan of the Iraq war and Afghanistan. Was that your favorite?

[Clayton Morris]

Lance is like, I don't care about children being grown up. He's like, the Iraq War was great. Over a million people died. He's like, I didn't care then either. Every minute of it. I love what you said. The fake narrative of weapons of mass destruction to get us in there. I love that, too.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, I'm so glad you're Getting the sequel that you've always wanted, then the rest of us are not down.

[Clayton Morris]

Hey, coming up.

[Natalie Morris]

Don't play that.

[Clayton Morris]

Coming up. In a little bit, we're going to talk about the assassination attempt on President Putin using NATO weapons to launch this massive attack. Of course, it was all NATO. We know that. Any idiot knows that you have to be mentally retarded and not know that at this point. And so NATO behind this massive attack, this provocation inside of Russia. But to me, the real story here is how President Trump seemed to not know about it and called Putin crazy for launching strikes on drone factories inside of Kiev. Like, in direct response to being targeted in a massive assassination attempt using NATO drones and NATO targeting and NATO weapons. Like, and he didn't know about it. Like, what advisors are around Trump right now not telling him what just happened, that Zelensky and NATO launched this. I don't understand it. To me, that's the bigger story here. We're gonna have the military angle on all of that. And also, what the hell is the FBI doing? A lot of questions about what the FBI is currently doing. And you remember that all that cocaine that was found inside the Biden White House? Well, are we gonna get some answers on that from the FBI? We're gonna talk about all of that and more. We're gonna actually talk to Steve Friend, FBI whistleblower, next. We're gonna do that. Next. Next.

[Natalie Morris]

[Clayton Morris]

Well, a lot of questions we still have about what the FBI is doing. You know, we heard, of course, Dan Bongino, Cash Patel last week in that interview with Maria Bartiromo saying, you know, Epstein didn't, you know, Epstein killed himself. Okay, case closed. Case closed. A lot of us scratching our heads to exactly what is happening. The FBI is currently investigating now the discovery at the Biden White House of cocaine. Now the Supreme Court leak of Dobbs case that overturned nationwide legalized abortion and the D.C. pipeline bombing case. According to Deputy Director Dan Bongino, the Biden White House never explained that cocaine was found in 2023. It's surprising that they ever publicized it at all. It's also surprising that they never investigated the abortion case. Leak 2 It's not expressly illegal to leak Supreme Court opinions, but the fact that no one was identified or punished or, or anything only adds to the sense of unaccountability in high places. So these are all valid questions, but there are still so many unanswered promises from the FBI. The Epstein files, the JFK investigations, the Las Vegas shooter. This creates a crisis of trust that seems to be deepening with only half the answers to major questions that we all still have. FBI whistleblower Steve Friend joins us now to discuss all of this and more. Steve, welcome back to the show. Great to see you.

[Steve Friend]

Thanks for having me today.

[Clayton Morris]

So I guess I want to start with just your reaction right now to where the FBI is under these first sort of 120 days of the Trump administration. Do you think, based on having worked at the FBI, having sources still inside the FBI, friends at the FBI, that they are actually tackling some of these big cases and doing, doing God's work, so to speak?

[Steve Friend]

I'm a little bit concerned to say it moderately. Look, I am of the belief, and I come at this from, let's say a kinetic, a SWAT operator type of mindset. Speed, surprise, violence of action. Those are really the assets when it goes into taking over a structure if you're a SWAT team or a hostile environment if you're taking over an organization like the FBI. And it seems to me that Dan Bongino, Cash Patel have gone in with A little bit more of the mindset of what you're talking about with the Iraq war. We're going to win hearts and minds. Minds. We're going to have the presupposition that there's lots of good men and women of the FBI and we just need to set their caliber straight and focus to rigorous obedience to the Constitution and they'll go forth and do great things. And look back, that interview that we saw a week ago with Maria Bartiromo over at Fox, I think one of the biggest things that jumped out to me, one of the biggest red flags was when Deputy Director Bongino made a remark that every day that they walk in the office, there are 100 level 10 things waiting for them on, on their desk. And my natural response to this, who is putting those on your desk, sir? Because I think you're being bubble wrapped, you're being insulated, you're being separated from doing the core mission and focus of Deputy Director and director of the FBI. And that's to sort of set the vision to move assets around and to reorient the way that the FBI is supposed to work as opposed to actually getting briefed up on these cases. You have to have the trust in those people who you believe are the good men and women who are capable of the doing those proper investigations.

[Natalie Morris]

Right. And it feels like they're feeding the sharks right now because. Absolutely. We were curious about how cocaine got in the White House and what's the deal without pipe bombing and why didn't they investigate the leak of the Supreme Court. But at the same time, they're still leaving us hanging with so many other biggies. Plus, going forward, we need to understand who was the deep state controlling the Biden administration. And so I feel like this is all chum right now. What is the purpose of that? Because I do feel like Deputy Director Bongino and Director Patel both have a lot of goodwill and they can waste it so easily.

[Steve Friend]

They're expending a lot of capital. It's almost like a credibility Ponzi scheme. They keep making promises and failing to deliver on those promises and the time constraints that they're setting for themselves. And then as opposed to actually having to deliver on verbals, they just respond by giving more promises. So first we had the Epstein list and that didn't come out and they were sort of painted into a corner. And they did that interview a week ago and we found out well within a week we're going to give you bombshells about January 6th and Crossfire Hurricane aka Russiagate. And it's now a week and a half and we haven't gotten anything. And now we have the deputy director going out there and saying we're going to investigate and expose and be transparent about the cocaine in the whitening house. And he's trying to buy back, I guess, a little bit of credibility, buy back a little bit of time. But I think the more promises made and not kept go on and on. It's like any sort of Ponzi scheme is collapses on itself because you find that you're unable to recruit enough people to keep making the payments to the people you've already brought into this scheme.

[Natalie Morris]

Okay, I mean, well, how do we rank at this point? Like the major question about Epstein. Okay, you're not going to give us a list. It's national security. Was Epstein a foreign agent or not? How about we start there, right? I don't think we're gonna ever get that. The cocaine in the White House, does it matter? Hunter Biden was pardoned. How can we rank what we need to know to feel safe right now?

[Steve Friend]

I think they need to start with things that are not gonna compromise national security matters or ongoing investigations. The Epstein list. Look, it's not going to affect your life or my life or anyone in your audience's life, unless, of course, Bill Gates or Prince Edward is in your audience, which I presume they are not, to find out who was on the Epstein list. But what would go a long way is to say, look, we've stood up a task force. We're investigating 200, 300 individuals. We don't want to compromise those ongoing investigations. I think we would give them that grace because that's something that we think is an objective good, that the premier law enforcement federal agency that we have that we staff and we fund with over 10, $11 billion at this point, we want them to go ahead and do those things, but let's reveal things that are not going to compromise those ongoing investigations, things that people have an appetite to find out about, like the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination plot. That assassin is dead. There's no ongoing investigation. There's no reason why that can't be turned on over Russiagate. The only compromise here is that there are still people working within the FBI, but if they're concerned about. About a statute of limitations, and as they sort of express to Maria Barcaroma, like the statute is up on those, there's no reason why they can't be turned out to the American people. And then the people who are still there lose their careers. In the same fashion that the other whistleblowers and I lost ours, which is a security clearance. You have a lack of loyalty to the United States government. They can suspend your security clearance, they can revoke your security clearance, and guess what you get? They can't come to work here anymore. So I think if we prioritize those sorts of cases where there isn't any sort of compromising material that's going to jeopardize our ability to put an evildoer into jail or is going to share information that's going to put lives at risk, then I think that those need to be at the top of the pile and they need to deliver on those forthwith.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. And we have had experts on the show talking about, like, the greatest threat to the United States right now is not, you know, I don't know, foreign, foreign actors, et cetera. It's here inside the United States that have come the millions that have come across our border. Drug cartels, Mexican cartels that are activated. They're sitting here waiting to be activated inside the United States. We know that ICE doesn't have enough manpower, money, resources. Is the FBI. Do you think the FBI's attention should be focused on those types of cases inside the United States?

[Steve Friend]

Yes, I think that that's an objectively good thing that the American people sent a mandate last November that said we wanted, we didn't want 30, 40, 50 million illegal aliens roaming free within our borders and they need to be removed. And I think instead, the FBI, the I no longer stands for investigations. It stands for intelligence and cash. Patel has bragged about the fact that they had 2500 applicants for intelligence analyst positions. He's using the fact that people are applying to work for, for the FBI to justify its performance, which to me is the same thing that Christopher Wray did. It's no different than an analogy where a restaurant is getting complaints from customers because they keep getting food poisoning. And the restaurant owner says, well, I have a record number of people applying to be waiters and cooks here, even though I'm paying a premium. That is more than other restaurants around town. So it doesn't really pass muster, doesn't hold water for me. But to the intelligence aspect to it, and you said that the greatest threat to America, America, to me, it is first and foremost, weaponized government. The second place here is so far behind us, it is over the horizon in the rear view mirror. Weaponized government, our own is the greatest threat to the American people. And we just had the revelation. Things that I've been talking about for a couple years, but I'm glad it's getting a wider audience now that the public talked about the fact that people who are hesitant or resistant to getting a vaccine were labeled as domestic terrorists. Terrorists under the Biden administration. The FBI is the teeth on that attack dog. It will go after people who are politically inconvenient for the ruling elite, regardless of who is in the White House, regardless of who is calling the shots. They aim to police because their budgets are tied to it. And as a bureaucracy, their goal is to grow. So inevitably they will shape and evolve their mission set to go after people who are opposing that goal. It's no different than Skynet was in the Terminator franchises. Skynet is artificial intelligence. It becomes self aware and it comes to the conclusion that the people are the threat because they can unplug it. That's very much like a bureaucracy in the B and FBI stands for bureau. So its goal is to grow, get more power, get more capabilities, get more personnel, get more funding. Anyone who stands in the way, they will rewrite their national security mission to go after those individuals and connect it to the intelligence here. As we're now moving forward into this age of artificial intelligence, you're going to have not just the ability to collect on all Americans, which the FBI does, which the federal government does, but to surveil all Americans because we don't need the people to do it anymore. We can just task AI with doing it. And we can even task AI bots with going online and finding fresh meat to bring back to the federal apparatus. It's a whole new ball game. The only solution at this point is to defang this attack dog.

[Natalie Morris]

But can I just play devil's advocate? Because I'm somebody who think that the Mueller investigation actually did turn out interesting information. They were not able to prosecute based on what they did find, even though they tried to. I think the Durham investigation, the special counsel did a great job. So can we put any faith into special counsels? Because I very much do want to know who the deep state was that was running President Biden, Biden's administration. Is there hope there that that could happen? A special counsel could actually tell us something that we could root out and that we could trust. Could that happen in a bipartisan way? Because it's certainly not against President Biden. He was the victim there.

[Steve Friend]

I don't think we'll ever have a bipartisan consensus on this because in essence, a special counsel is the government investigating the government and ultimately always is concluding that the government might have done a little bit of things wrong, but they didn't really do that much wrong. We should all just move on from this. And we've dragged it out enough. We've dripped and dropped it to the point where people just lose focus and lose attention on it, and they're just not concerned about it anymore. I think that the better way to go is to actually conduct the investigations and to be more energetic with it and do a parallel investigation with individuals within the government right now who have the teeth to go after the wrongdoers. So let's take an example. James Comey, who's been in the news a bunch lately, he's been trying to get himself in the news to talk about his romance novel or whatever he's putting out there these days. And people are upset about the seashells, right? Well, they should really be upset about the honeypot operation he ran in 2016 against the Trump campaign, where he assigned agents off the books to go and infiltrate the Trump campaign, make themselves appear sexually available to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign. Well, we're about nine years after that at this point, so the statute of limitations is up. No, it's not, because those individuals still work for the FBI. They were promoted. I would argue that that's in furtherance of a conspiracy. So let's get Harmeet Dhillon or Ed Martin on there, because that's a conspiracy against rights. That's title 18 USC 242. People should go to jail for that. And if you want to gain back the trust the American people, promises aren't going to do it. It's going to ultimately result in people who took their position of civic trust, people who allegedly swore an oath to defend the Constitution to protect. Protect their fellow citizens against fraud and force and abuse that ability to enrich themselves and to push a political outcome, which is not their job. They have to go to jail. Do not pass go.

[Natalie Morris]

All right. I feel like we've just painted a messy picture of, like, what we need to let go of and what we need to go forward with.

[Clayton Morris]

I agree with you, though. I think you're right about that. I mean, the things that affect my life, I mean, it's. It's palace, you know, not palace intrigue, but I mean, in many ways, actually is palace intrigue. When you talk about Prince Andrew and stuff. Epstein stuff. We'd like to see prosecutions, of course, but when it comes to things that actually affect us here in the United States, you're right. The weaponization of the government. How Many of these thousands of agents are still part of that deep state operation that was undermining American citizens and our liberties and sex trafficking operations. Children across the United States and all of these things that play a real.

[Steve Friend]

World.

[Clayton Morris]

Have real world implications in our own neighborhoods, you know, behind closed doors that we're not talking about. Those are the things that I want to see really brought to, you know, into the fore by the FBI. So. Yeah.

[Natalie Morris]

Well, Steve Friend, FBI whistleblower, thank you so much for joining us. It's always great to talk to you.

[Clayton Morris]

Thanks, Steve.

[Steve Friend]

Thanks for having me.

[Natalie Morris]

I'm more mad than before.

[Clayton Morris]

I mean, Steve, I know his last name is, his last name is Friend, but he's not here to just make you happy.

[Natalie Morris]

He's here to bring.

[Clayton Morris]

He's here to tell you the truth.

[Natalie Morris]

I know that. And thankfully I'm not in charge of the FBI or the Justice Department, cuz I don't know how I would rank these things. You know, at least it explains why it's so messy, but at the same time, I don't know what's what. Clayton. That's why they didn't, that's why President Trump did not nominate me, me to run the FBI, thankfully. It's too bad. Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

I don't know, I mean, I think you could be pretty fiery. You like to throw a lot of things out so you could walk in there and be like, okay, are you part of the problem? If so, you're fired. If you know. So I think you could get rid.

[Natalie Morris]

You could clean some possibly, I don't know.

[Clayton Morris]

All right, we're going to talk about Russia coming up next in this assassination attempt on Putin and the response from the United States and Trump's response on all of this, which you have, is Putin's gone crazy. Well, the Russian government has now responded to Trump's message, calling him crazy, saying the only crazy thing is World War 3, which you're dancing around right now by this NATO provocation. And someone in the chat says, was NATO responsible for launching these attacks? Yes, 100%. They are responsible for all telemetry and targeting which we've exposed here on the show many, many months ago, actually a couple of years ago. Now, Ukraine can't fire basically anything without the United States help. So we're going to talk about all of that. But first, we are all feeling it costs rising on everything, gas, groceries, home repairs. If you're a homeowner, you probably thought, should I call American Financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt? And then you Second guess yourself because of that low mortgage rate you currently have. Listen, that low rate, it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25 or 28% or higher. That math, I mean, that's math that no one wants to face. Our friend Tucker Carlson thinks that, like, this interest from these credit card companies is destroying the very fabric of our country and it's costing you thousands of dollars a month. Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years. That's why people are calling American Financing, because they're saving customers an average of $800 a month by using their equity to finally break, break free from credit card debt. You owe it to your family to see what's possible. No upfront fees, no pressure. It costs you nothing to find out what you could save every month. And if you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments. So call them right now. 866-890-8434. That's 866-890-8433. Or visit their website at americanfinancing.net. netacted call American Financing today. Find out how customers are saving an average of $800 a month. And their NMLS number is [e-mail] all right, well, something big is happening in Russia as President Putin is pulling off his gloves. Meanwhile, President Trump doesn't seem to know what's going on here, making really, like, odd threats. I mean, I mean, like, some advisors are keeping information from President Trump in an effort to, like, ramp up the NATO war effort against Russia, because that's the way that I see it. But maybe there's something else going on here. And he just posted this a few hours ago on Truth Social. What Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is if that weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia. And I mean really bad. He's playing with fire. Medvedev just responded and said the only person playing with fire right now is basically NATO. And you're dealing, you're basically playing with World War three at this moment. So basically, Trump there just sort of admitting that he's been protecting Putin from, I don't know who, neocons that have wanted to have Russia eliminated. Maybe we need more clarification on that from, from President Trump. Like, who's he? How has he been protecting him for all of these years? So more on that part of the story here in a second. But first, Russian President Putin was almost killed by a massive NATO drone attack. While Putin was visiting the Kursk Oblast, his contingent of helicopters came under massive drone attacks. And according to the Kremlin, Putin narrowly escaped death. They were able to stop these drone strikes, but it was very close. So NATO almost killed Putin, essentially, because, again, it wasn't Ukraine. It was orchestrated, coordinated intelligence, targeted telemetry, targeting, and launched by NATO forces. Bottom line.

[Natalie Morris]

Well, recall that after President Trump had that Oval Office spanking of Zelensky, they turned off Ukraine's access to intelligence and Ukraine and targeting and targeting. Yeah. Ukraine couldn't fire a gun in the air. They didn't know where to even go without US Intelligence. So Ukraine cannot do this without NATO intelligence. I think that's provable.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. So, in fact, over the past seven days, as Trump has been pushing for peace in Ukraine, NATO and Ukraine have launched over 1,000 drone strikes into Russian territory. And the NATO escalation has had the desired effect, of course, which is Putin is pissed. And now Russia has responded, and he says we now need to get them into a chokehold. These are Putin's word. We need to get them into a chokehold, basically, so they'll surrender. Watch. We need to get them in a chokehold. They're trying to strangle us, and we should reciprocate.

[Abu Bakr Abed]

We did not chase anyone out.

[Clayton Morris]

We are provided the best possible conditions to work in our market, and they are trying to choke us, and we.

[Abu Bakr Abed]

Should act in a mirror fashion.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. So a mirror fashion, because he's talking not. I mean, he's talking esoterically. He's talking militarily and financially, both. Like Western businesses in Russia operating or fleeing or sanctions. Also military strikes, massive military attacks inside of Russia.

[Natalie Morris]

So raise your hand if you want to be choked for Zelensky's war. You cool with that?

[Clayton Morris]

We are.

[Natalie Morris]

Do you want that?

[Clayton Morris]

No, I don't want that. But we already are being choked. I mean, and of course, these massive sanctions on Russia have only led. I mean, led to widespread inflation. You want to talk about the economic ruin that we're sitting in right now? Largely responsible is the sanctions on Russia, clearly. So Russia has launched a massive drone offensive against Ukraine in response, hitting key targets all over Ukraine. Here, just take a look at the. At this on your screen. All of those red areas around Ukraine are all Russian attacks over the past 48 hours or so. And then, of course, you can see the areas of conflict. The red area controlled by Russia, which was formerly eastern Ukraine, now is controlled by the Russian Federation. And Russia is moving further now beyond the front, creating a new front in a buffer zone which we'll talk about in a second. So all of that land that you currently have, you could be prepared to lose it if you continue this madness. This. So now Russia in these attacks specifically spoke hit the Antonov factory where those drones were built that targeted Putin in K and that where they tried to kill Putin. Here were these attacks on the Antonov factory. Watch. So and these attacks are using shahed drones. So what you're seeing here are shahed drones very high up in the sky firing their ordinance. And as according to this report, they are now attacking in, in swarms which you can see here. And these are what these look like here, massive swarms. Now before the attack on Putin they would send like 10 or 15 of these drones. Now they're sending massive swarms that sit at high distances, at high altitude and out of range of Ukraine's air defense systems and the United States Patriot defense systems when they launch their attack. Just look at how many drones Russia is now using to attack targets. Look at the increase since this is this, this chart you're going to see here starts at 2022. Look at that. Up until this week and the massive spike in drone attacks. Now instead of using actual Russian forces using drones, as 404reports, the US is using shorads. Here's a Shorad short range air defense system to try and stop them which is great for shooting down things like, you know, things you can see like helicopters or other low flying aircraft. That's laughable. And as he describes it, sure ad it's a joke and a bad one because they're not able to hit these drones. And as Moon of Alabama reports, Russia also took out some Patriot missile battles batteries over the weekend in the past 48 hours. And meanwhile Russia is currently launching. We're in the middle of it as we're speaking right now. Within the past hour, Russia has doubled down on these attacks inside of Ukraine. So this is not like something that happened 48 hours ago and it's over, over. It's happening right now as we speak. Here is Moon of Alabama's report. Ukraine has reportedly eight Patriot missile systems which cover the capital of Kiev. On Saturday, at least one of those was destroyed in a Russian attack and maybe even more because the one by the way, this is amazing. I want you to watch this video here. You can see the Patriot system being destroyed and then the one like that's adjacent to it finally launches after like a few seconds. Like it it took a while. So Russia knocked out and destroyed a Patriot missile system. And then these other batteries start launching later on as if they didn't even see anything coming. Take a look. So here you can see on the right side of your screen their strike on a Patriot missile system, according to these reports. And then seconds go by. Finally these air defense systems try to target some of these drones in the sky. And finally one launches from there. And then on another part of Kiev launches these Patriots to try to bring down whatever was attacking them. It's like hitting ghosts at this point. And basically NATO can't do anything to stop them now.

[Natalie Morris]

I just looked at my notes for a second. In December of 2022, President Biden announced that the US would send Patriot missiles after much deliberation, had never sent anything that advanced before. Really hemmed and hawed, did not want to escalate with Russia and then decided to open the checkbook and send the Patriot missiles. So these are the things that we were originally told we would not send. Then we decided to capitulate and send at great expense to us only for this to be the fate. I just think it's worth rewinding the clock about how we reported on this three years ago.

[Clayton Morris]

Privateer Productions in our YouTube chat says Clayton, three systems gone is the chatter right now. I haven't confirmed that, but thank you for that again. And I was being conservative, so you might be right. One again, I, when I saw just one of these Patriot systems was destroyed, I sort of said, really one? Just one. So three is what they're saying now. Three of the eight that they have remaining. And by the way, there's no more going to them. Them and the attackums that we said, they're gone. Like we're not sending any more at this stage.

[Natalie Morris]

Well, Marco Rubio over the weekend says, well, we'll sell them to you. How does he expect to be paid back?

[Clayton Morris]

We'll send them to Israel for free, but to Ukraine. We're not sending any more of these things. And the way that a lot of, of course we, we've covered this for years here on the show. But a way that a lot of these, you know, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, et cetera, were excited to have a lot of their old mothballed systems in the United States dusted off and sent to Ukraine. Like a lot of these things didn't even work work. A lot of these things were so out of date, were collecting dust essentially and didn't work. And so they were able to clean out their closets and then go to Congress and get billions of dollars more back from Congress in order to start making new things. Maybe we'll send them to you, maybe we won't. We'll just keep them here in the United States. But here you can have all of our old stuff and then also pay us back for it later. So anyway, I mentioned this. So basically NATO can't stop.

[Abu Bakr Abed]

Stop.

[Clayton Morris]

Is not able to stop them from anything at this point. NATO has lost, but they're continuing to provoke. The bear makes absolutely no sense. Russia responding now, creating a new front, expanding its Ukraine to build a military buffer zone. Putin's buffer zone aims to create space, both literally, literally and politically from Ukraine's firepower being able to attack inside of Russia. So the land that you could walk away with, you know, or lose right now in peace talks, it's, you're going to continue to lose land. I mean, we're talking Odessa. You're going to become a landlocked country. Zelensky desperately wants to continue this war because he knows that once, once this war ends, just like in Israel. Netanyahu out of power. Putin is not waiting around for peace talks, though it seems that he's done being provoked and attacked by NATO. So his forces are now pushing further into Ukraine. These are also ads being re shared on social media again, Russian ads telling Ukraine to surrender or lose your life. What? Remember this? They're now popping back up again. So who's left at this point? I mean, who's left at this point? But to me, the hardest part of the story is President Trump's response to all of this. When he was asked about the attacks inside Ukraine, the large scale attacks inside of Ukraine, he said Putin had gone crazy and he didn't understand what he was doing. Watch know what the hell happened to Putin? I've known him a long time, always gotten along with him.

[Steve Friend]

He's killing a lot of people.

[Clayton Morris]

I don't know what's wrong with him.

[Steve Friend]

What the hell happened?

[Clayton Morris]

What the hell happened? Did Putin go crazy? Decided one afternoon that he'd like to destroy a drone factory, the very same drone factory responsible for the drones that were just sent to try to assassinate him inside of Russia. It's just a random thought, he's gone crazy. Or did NATO just try to kill him, you know, and that's exactly what happened. So when Trump was pressed on this by reporters, he didn't seem to know what they were talking about. He didn't know that Putin had been nearly assassinated. So were advisors kept back from Trump and weren't able to tell him the truth of this. Watch.

[Natalie Morris]

Can I follow up on that? A Russian commander reportedly said that Putin was almost caught in the middle of a drone attack from Ukraine.

[Clayton Morris]

So do you have any. I haven't heard that, but maybe that would be a reason.

[Natalie Morris]

I don't know.

[Clayton Morris]

But I have not heard that.

[Natalie Morris]

Why shouldn't. Why have I heard that and you haven't heard that?

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah, like, who's. I mean, we all knew that. It was kind of obvious kind of immediately. So people in the chat are like, wait a minute, Trump didn't even know about the drone attack? No. And even Alex Jones just published a video, I think, last night or whatever, saying he's like, it seems like, like, I don't know, there's some people keeping this information from Trump. He didn't know that there was a massive assassination attempt on Putin's life and it was coordinated with NATO telemetry and targeting. So, to me, this is the real story here. Not that Putin responded and hit a few drone factories, destroyed these drone factories, destroyed some Patriot systems, and is ramping up a massive attack right now and is moving a front to give. Provide more of a buffer zone to Russia. Like that. Yeah, that's. We knew that was going to come and peace talks would crumble as a result. But the real story here is that NATO, Somebody's, like, undermining him. I mean, he not wanted to, like, lie. He stood there, he's like, I never, I didn't hear that. Most people, you know, I think, I think the mark of people, when they, I think it's. It's very telling. Like, if you're ever in a conversation with someone and someone's like, hey, have you ever read the book or have you heard this thing, this fact about this thing for someone to say, no, I've never heard that. Or, I've never. No, I never knew that. Like, And Trump stood there, he's like, I didn't hear that. I didn't know that. If he wanted to appear, like, high and mighty, he'd be like, yeah, I knew about. I knew all about that, but I don't think that's the reason why he had made that attack. I mean.

[Natalie Morris]

So you're saying he's showing humility and also letting us know that he's not being properly briefed.

[Steve Friend]

Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

I mean, there are a number of people saying, I don't know who his Ukraine and Ukrainian advisors are around him right now, but someone's hiding something from Trump. Because I didn't see, by the way, I don't know. I mean, if he's watching Fox News or something, I don't know if he's watching the mainstream media, if they're reporting on the truth of what happened here. Because the mainstream media desperately wants Russia to collapse. They desperately want neocons to have their way and move towards full scale war, a NATO war with Russia. That's what they want. That's what they've been preparing us for for a long time. So I mean, and many are wondering like, why doesn't Putin just launching massive devastating attacks of Ukraine? Well, he's never done that. He never responds the way CNN or Fox News would like. He's much more reserved. Even if it was an attack on his life. He targeted a drone factory specifically. Doug McGregor pointed this out. Colonel McGregor said Putin has taken a position that all I really have to do is be patient and continue to advance. He has the absolute support of his population. Russia is very cohesive, the complete opposite of the west right now. Now, regardless of your feelings on their nation, they know what they are about and they know what their interests are and we do not. So let me just add this part of the story here because I think this is an important side note. I've seen a lot of sort of like conservative media blowing this story up over the past 24 hours and it's factually inaccurate. So let's set the stage here. Western media has really gotten this German part of the angle of the story wrong. Last night, Germany's Chancellor Mertz said this during an interview that Germany and ostensibly NATO has declared no more limits for weapons systems into Ukraine. That quote, Ukraine can also defend itself by attacking military positions in Russia. Here's Frederick Mertz. Watch. So the media ran with that story over the past few hours even though it was already the position of NATO powers months ago. Here is the Financial Times. Germany's Mertz backs Ukraine's long range missile strikes on Russia. Russia, here's Euro news. Western allies lift Ukraine's restrictions on long range weapons. Says Mertz. Well, that's just ignorant reporting because as Moon of Alabama pointed out, this is all fake news. As we reported here months ago, Biden had already lifted these sanctions and restrictions and there's nothing new about what's going on here at all. He was just like reiterating basically what Joe Biden said months ago, that Ukraine has carte blanche to use long range weapons and attack inside of Russia in an effort to increase the war, basically. But the Western media of course would love nothing more than an escalation of this. So for them to run headlines like Germany is escalating war and you know, against Russia by pulling off the limiters and governors and allowing no restrictions on long range weapons inside of Russia, that's fake news because Biden had already done that months ago before he left office.

[Natalie Morris]

The media audience may have forgotten it, but probably Russia has not. They probably already marked that one. They're on that one if you're threatened with long range weapons. So we know that. We've been knowing that. So let us know what you think of this escalation. And again, last week when we had Colonel Doug McGregor on the show and he was like, I don't think this is really ending. You know, these peace negotiations don't seem to be very. I was on the opposite side and he really popped my bubble. Burst the bubble there. I was like, oh, good, peace talks. This sounds great. And he was like, no, it's not happening. He was right. Once again, I don't like it. Yeah, I was hoping to look at this from the, you know, glass half full, but no. Okay, so here we go. We persist.

[Clayton Morris]

All right, so we've got more news to get to here, but yeah. Thank you guys for subscribing to the channel. We really appreciate it. It. It's free to subscribe and thank. We've seen a huge surge in subscribers over the past month. So thank you guys for being a part of our community here and, you know, our show. Honestly, I think it should make you uncomfortable because we're telling uncomfortable truths and we don't have an agenda here.

[Natalie Morris]

So not one story we've done today have I liked not one of them. But we're not here to talk about what's happy and wishful. We're here to talk about what's true. We're gonna talk about, oh, world leaders who are abused by their wife. Can you come up with a short list? Clayton Macron.

[Clayton Morris]

Macron.

[Natalie Morris]

That's a Biden. Who else? I don't know much about the wives of the others, but yeah, this is. This is a story that is not funny. It looks funny on the surface, but Emmanuel Macron is the victim of grooming and abuse. And we're gonna prove it to you. This weekend's video shows it ever more clearly. So before we do that, Spacey Stacy.

[Clayton Morris]

In our chat said, the world's crazy now. I missed the ad. 80s. Oh, I miss the 80s all the time.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah, I miss that there was craziness in the 80s too.

[Clayton Morris]

Well, there's craziness all. Yeah, all the. When. When wasn't there craziness? I mean, in the 1950s, you saw, like, well, we had peace, you know, it was after World War II. But we were. We were, you know, launching nuclear tests on islands.

[Natalie Morris]

Right. We also were the victim of FDR taking away all our rights and money. So that wasn't so great.

[Clayton Morris]

I don't know, maybe the 1880s, maybe the gilded Age.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah. I mean, I know nostalgia can be dangerous, but we can pick and choose certain things that we would like to bring forward.

[Clayton Morris]

It can be dangerous, but it's also, as doctors point out, very, very healthy and very good for you to be happy to, you know, to be reminiscent. It's very good for your brain.

[Natalie Morris]

Who said that?

[Clayton Morris]

There's plenty of studies on that, on nostalgia. Look them up, Book nerd. Look them up. I will.

[Natalie Morris]

You're gonna get an email from me with all my research.

[Clayton Morris]

So thanks to their support here of the show. Well, France just declared war on itself. A civil war of sorts. That's because some dude just punched French President Emmanuel Macron in the face on a weekend flight to Vietnam. Who was this dude? Well, it turns out it was the First Lady, Brigitte Macron. Yes. The former school teacher who is 25 years his senior, seen grabbing his face and pushing him in the face off the flight. Now, cameras caught the first couple in what can only be described as an airborne domestic disagreement while disembarking from their plane in Vietnam. The footage shows First Lady Brigitte giving Manuel Macron a slap punch to the face. And then they come out there, you can see the same red coat that was just slapping him in the face. And it all started with a smack to the face and then escalated to like a two hand maneuver over his mouth, nose and jaw. And not in a loving like, get over here, you rascal.

[Natalie Morris]

No, don't kiss me, you'll mess my makeup kind of way.

[Clayton Morris]

I get that all the time. But that's usually just a verbal. A verbal assault.

[Natalie Morris]

Or I just go, no, honey, don't mess up me. Yeah, I've never actually hit him. Yeah, in the face. No matter how much I want.

[Clayton Morris]

Oh, okay.

[Natalie Morris]

No, I'm just kidding. No, we don't lay our hands on each other in that way. Now, the French government originally tried to deny authenticity of this footage, but then later they said the couple was just horsing around and joking. Now, look, Brigitte Macron is 72 years old. Emmanuel Macron is 47. They are 25 years apart. And I think it is worth an exercise to think about him as a 14, 15 year old student while she was very close to 40. That's how their relationship began, with this unhealthy power structure. I think if we really wanted to be generous here with an explanation. Is that safe to say that sometimes elderly people can get mean and aggressive and irritable due to either cognitive decline or medication? I think that would be charitable. To give her the benefit of the doubt. Macron does not look complicit here, though I think there's no explanation under which he doesn't look like he's expecting it. He puts his arm out to walk her down, right? He doesn't look like he is in an antagonistic conversation. He is looking at her her. His hands are relaxed before it comes. He is clearly not joking around, not playing, playing along. Now here are some uncomfortable truths about the Macrons, even if you don't want to go down the Is she a man? Which she has never satisfactorily explained, even if you don't want to. Let's put that aside for a second. Here are some facts. He was groomed by her. I have a 14 year old son who's almost 15. A 39 year old teacher comes near him, we're going to have some problems. You're going to get Mama Bear over this. So again, 14 is when their relationship began. They lied about it initially, told the press he was 17, only to back that up later and admit so again the relationship began under power imbalanced, ethically fraught conditions. This behavior begs the uncomfortable question has he been abused since he was 14? Is this symbolic of what has always been since he was a child? Here are some other uncomfortable questions. Again, they have never satisfactorily proven that she is a woman, never produced images before her 30s, never produced images of her pregnant, never explained why there was a brother that was not explained for in her family pictures, why AI matches that to her face. They have never answered for the fact that despite these looming questions, was he groomed by a pederast? In the very first presidential portrait of Emmanuel Macron In 2017, the works of Andre Guid, an avowed pederastic was in the presidential portrait. Does that happen by accident? Do you accidentally have pedophile pedophile literature on the desk when you take your presidential portrait? In what world could that be accidental? And again, the fact that when they originally explained their relationship they said he was 17, he was not, he was 14. And again, the age of consent in France is, is different than it is in the United States. So let's just for as an exercise, you know, think about if Macron was a woman, was groomed at the age of 14 and then hit in public, would we feel very differently? It's a very uncomfortable thing to confront and even harder to ignore. Wouldn't you say, Clayton?

[Clayton Morris]

Yes, absolutely. And I think you know, Candace Owens, people pointing out in the chat, Candace Owen has, has all the, all the all the deets on this Y deep dive. Of course, she broke the story wide open from the French journalist who originally reported all of this, the pederast book in the official French portrait, like, that doesn't just wind up there by accident.

[Natalie Morris]

It's too big of a question.

[Clayton Morris]

It's like the Balenciaga. It's like the Balenciaga stuff. How does pedophilia stuff get put into Balenciaga?

[Natalie Morris]

Balenciaga can never say it.

[Clayton Morris]

Right? Yeah. How to. Into their ads. Like it's intentional that you're putting this in your photos.

[Natalie Morris]

You would have to think, Right. Okay. People are wondering, am I a victim of a pederast? I will say nothing. But there is this imagery in my first portrait. It's like a public cry for help. Right. And so you might think he's not a great world leader. It's very hard to feel sorry for him, you know, but has he been a victim of this? When you look at the fact that he's not an especially accomplished academic, he. They had to change academics standards for. For tests that he failed. Why is he in this position of power? Is. Was he put there by some kind of dark sex ring? Right. So again, it's so hard. It's not nothing. And we can't. We can't pretend that it is. We should not play along with the French government that this is just horsey joking. It absolutely is not. And this person, again, was the victim of a grooming relationship. There's. There's no. I mean, there's no other explanation for it. So let us know how you feel about that.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah.

[Natalie Morris]

Clayton.

[Clayton Morris]

Oh, my God. It's so disgusting, though. It's like, I. I just want to know, like, what was going on in that situation. And wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall? And by the way, this comes like a few weeks after the whole cocaine in a bag on the Ukrainian train scandal.

[Natalie Morris]

Right.

[Clayton Morris]

Right. We're like, let me just hide the. Hide the little spoon for the cocaine and just put that bag in my pocket. You need to see all that.

[Natalie Morris]

Now. I originally had put some information and asked ChatGPT, like, can we say that this may be aggressive elderly behavior? Like, grandpa gets mean. And chatgpt said, brigitte Macron is a woman. And I was like, I didn't ask about that at all. I'm asking about the aggression.

[Clayton Morris]

When I said, what chat. She's not.

[Natalie Morris]

He said, regime Macron is a woman. And I was like, I didn't ask ask. I'm asking about this power dynamic. Clearly, she groomed him. Whether she's a she or a he doesn't. It almost doesn't matter. And Chat GBT apologized to me. Like, you're right. I was just heading you off the conspiracy theories.

[Clayton Morris]

Can I just tell you, like, almost all weekend, not only David, you, I got in arguments with Chat, GPT and. And some different AI programs because it's like, again, it's garbage in, garbage out. So whoever's programming these things. Things. Yeah, Right. I mean, obviously the programming is that, yes, Brigitte Macron is a woman. Right. Someone had to have put that in there.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

And then you're presenting evidence that the opposite.

[Natalie Morris]

Right.

[Clayton Morris]

And finally, and I love that the AI is like, oh, you know what?

[Natalie Morris]

You're right all the time. That's why it's. Yeah. It's replacing my need to argue with my husband because I can argue with AI and prove that I'm right. And it apologizes very readily. And then I don't have to continue. Continue to be mad because we have a joke in our house that one of us can get over an argument right away, and the other one, guilty party, takes five to seven business days.

[Clayton Morris]

Because I get over an argument.

[Natalie Morris]

That's how I roll.

[Clayton Morris]

I'm a woman. Amazing. It's amazing. It's how quickly, you know, you just get off. Yeah. Another good question. Adrian wants to know, you know, what was the. What was on the shoulder of the woman in the yellow vest? Redacted. So we analyzed that, and it turns out, first of all, that woman was not on the floor. She was outside of the door when it opened. And it looks like a bloody shoulder. Can we rerun that video, Philip, if you have it, of the flight attendant who's like. It looks like she's outside of the.

[Natalie Morris]

Yes. She's standing on the outside when they open the door. So if she was, in fact, hurt, see, watch her walk down. And it does look like a bloody shoulder, but in other images, it looks like a scarf. What if she was, in fact, hurt? She was not, in fact, on the plane. It doesn't seem like she was hurt by either of them. See, watch her walk down. And you see her shoulder does look strange.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. But you can see the scarf moving. It's like a little scarf, like, underneath. Underneath, like her. Like where her hair. But that, like, vest that she's wearing, it's kind of like pinched down underneath her vest. And you can see it kind of like, flapping as she moves. So. Yeah, but she wasn't really on the flight. But a lot of people are like, why is she bloody? Why is it stewardy have a bloody shoulder?

[Natalie Morris]

Right? And she doesn't look like she saw very much because she was on the other side of the door. It's the cameras that caught it. The rest of the people on the outside of the plane were unawares clearly.

[Clayton Morris]

We'll take some of your super chats here in a second or some of your rumble rants. But first.

[Clayton Morris]

To all of our new channel members as well. Thank you for supporting our show. We really appreciate that. Here's duos. We'll do a few of these super chats now. And rumble rants says didn't she slap him? She was whipping some dusty schmutz from his upper lip. No, it doesn't look like she was just removing some like I would never do that to you. And like smack you in the face. I'd be like, like, you've got something here, there. And I wouldn't like.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah, I don't know. If you. If you take someone off someone's face, does their head whiplash, right?

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah, I guess.

[Natalie Morris]

No, I don't think we can. And again, I think we can offer some kind of generous benefits of the doubt. But he clearly looks uncomfortable and humiliated.

[Clayton Morris]

Silverback says, funny. Redacted is promoting AI. No, not promoting it. Arguing with. With it.

[Natalie Morris]

Oh, no. But we're talking about Block Trust, which does use AI to help with your investments. It's yes, absolutely. To. Not to do everything for you. It's AI and the re. The way we use AI is a lot of times for. Again, like, I'll think of a study that I can't exactly find and explain it to AI and it will find it for me, saving me hours of digging.

[Clayton Morris]

So like Alex Jones talks about, his staff will use it like, hey, find, find, find in our archives where I mentioned this. Yeah, you know, and use it like scrape the entire database to like, find where. Oh, it's 17 years ago I mentioned that, you know, whatever. You know, whatever.

[Natalie Morris]

We're not telling you to rely on it. We're telling you to optimize your use of it. And in fact, I will readily admit that I went to AI to say, show me brave Israelis that are speaking out against the genocide of Palestinians. And that's how I found this breaking the cycle violence. It found it for me. I was shocked that how hard I had to dig. But AI can find things that the rest of us cannot. Why is this keep kept from us?

[Clayton Morris]

Hikeria Chase says why has redacted not covered the South African story yet? I think that happened. Well, it happened last week and then of course, we had the holiday weekend.

[Natalie Morris]

It was in the newsletter.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah, we covered it in the newsletter in the redacted newsletter, which is free if you'd like to pick it up. It's totally free. If you go to redacted.inc you can get the newsletter for free. We publish it every day. Natalie writes it, uses no AI by the way, to write it. She writes it all by hand and does an amazing job on it. And the team edits and publishes it first thing in the morning. So you have it in your inbox. Just go to redacted.inc, click on subscribe to the newsletter and you'll get it first thing. And you can read it about five or 10 minutes over your cup of coffee. And it covers about five or six of the big stories of the day and a few things you might have missed overnight. There were some really interesting oddities in the newsletter today, for instance, like.

[Natalie Morris]

I'm.

[Clayton Morris]

Not oddities, but there were a couple of weird things that happened in the newsletter in the. In the. In case you missed it part. Now refresh my memory.

[Natalie Morris]

Water based boiling.

[Clayton Morris]

Oh, yeah. Or the keys, like in Minnesota that, like they're.

[Natalie Morris]

Oh, I want to do this on the show. Yeah, that the state of Minnesota. Let's hold that one and actually do a segment about it.

[Clayton Morris]

But just.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah, just briefly that the state of Minnesota has decided that they. You can't sell keys anymore, starting in July. Like what you use to open your door. But they have no alternative yet because they say those keys have too much lead in them. But aluminum will break. Iron can't be crafted into a key easily and it rusts. So they're not exactly sure what they're going to do. They're just sure what they're not going to do. That's fun. Tim Walls.

[Clayton Morris]

That's crazy. Brad Gilbert, thank you for your Canadian $2 super chat. Says right. Alt media are the new mainstream media. They're all CIA ops now, it would seem. Doesn't it seem that way?

[Natalie Morris]

I think you're on to something, Brad.

[Clayton Morris]

Hand of the heavens. We can raise both hands. Hand of the gods.

[Natalie Morris]

I have tissue in my hand.

[Clayton Morris]

Hand of God. We are not controlled by any intelligence agency. Okay. In fact, I think we piss off the intelligence agencies on a regular basis here. But I'd be curious what you mean by that, though, because it does seem like the alt right media, like the conservative media, that's not mainstream. Like when you hear the. I don't know, when you hear certain narratives being pushed out, they all kind of run and push those like same narratives. I don't know. But what do you think about it?

[Natalie Morris]

Well, who are we talking about? I mean.

[Clayton Morris]

Well, I mean, I don't think we need to.

[Natalie Morris]

I can't. I mean, but I can say there are. There does seem to be a handful that are holding the line that I trust. People that I thought I would never say I trusted now are like Tucker Carlson and. Well, not Tucker, but Alex Jones owns Tucker as a family friend. But these, they seem to not be CIA.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah, well, I think. Who am I thinking about? Glenn Greenwald?

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

I think that people that you can trust in that way.

[Natalie Morris]

Right.

[Clayton Morris]

I think like Jimmy Dore does not suffer fools and we don't suffer fools here on this show. So I don't know. I mean, but yeah, I think you're. There's definitely some conservative media that they will never like criticize President Trump.

[Natalie Morris]

Right.

[Clayton Morris]

They will never. I don't know, but I'd be curious what you, what you think about that. Turtle head says redacted as CIA.

[Natalie Morris]

Are we. What do we do?

[Clayton Morris]

I don't know. What does that mean to sneeze?

[Natalie Morris]

You could. Nope. It went away. Okay.

[Clayton Morris]

I was gonna say I could take my.

[Natalie Morris]

I was. Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

But my, my stream deck is not working. Anyway, any other super chats we wanted to get to? Mr. Wink, thank you for your super chat as well. We appreciate it. At it. And 80 straw hat says nah. Nat, don't forget that Hamas steals the food from civilians.

[Natalie Morris]

What. What food is there to steal now and. And again. Prove that then provide me.

[Clayton Morris]

Right. The argument is that, oh, every time a food truck arrives that it's just Hamas runs out and grabs all the food out of it.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

Okay.

[Natalie Morris]

Okay. And Laura Logan, I was going to say is not. Not as far as I know.

[Clayton Morris]

Olga says you guys are ICUs. I don't know what that means.

[Natalie Morris]

Okay.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. Well, thank you guys for joining us. I really appreciate it. Thanks for being here. Astro Viking says first rule of CIA club is don't talk about CIA. CIA club. That was a CIA controlled sneeze that.

[Natalie Morris]

They said it was thwarted.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah.

[Natalie Morris]

I have to go look at the.

[Clayton Morris]

Sun Ray says Tucker missed the mark 100 on Putin. 100. He missed the mark. Mark in what way? I'm curious what you mean by that. I think he was thrown off. I mean, I, you know, I've, I haven't really, I haven't talked to Tucker about that interview, but he's kind of addressed it in interviews afterwards. But he felt like that first 30 minutes where Putin just went on a historical.

[Natalie Morris]

Yeah.

[Clayton Morris]

Rant for 30 minutes kind of really threw him off because he's like, am I being like duped here? Are you eating up all my time with like a whole historical rant? And then he went on for another two and a half hours. But. But I don't know. But exactly. I'd be curious. Yeah. I don't know. MSW says redacted is very liberal. I find.

[Natalie Morris]

Really, I don't care about those labels.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. What does that mean? I mean, I'm but pretty conservative. I don't know what.

[Natalie Morris]

You can put whatever you want on redacted. That's fine.

[Clayton Morris]

Yeah. I know people have all sorts of different labels. People call us like, they say like we kiss up to Trump or we're whatever. We're Putin apologists, or you're too conservative, you're far right. They'll call us. We get labeled as far right, and then you think that we're liberal.

[Natalie Morris]

I love that.

[Clayton Morris]

That means that we're doing our job. If somebody says we're liberal and then someone calls us far right, good, then that means we piss off everybody, and that's what we should be doing. Thank you guys for joining us. We really appreciate it. And if you guys hear a lot of construction in the background, we apologize. We're sort of like in an active construction site. So if you hear, like, foundations being poured and. And, you know, hammers. Hammers hitting nails on a regular basis, it's going to be like that probably for the next few months, if maybe years, because we're in an active kind of construction zone around us. So.

[Natalie Morris]

Plus, our kids are home for the summer, so, yeah, you know, God help us all.

[Clayton Morris]

So thank you, guys. Appreciate it.

[Natalie Morris]

All right, we'll be back here tomorrow. Thank you so much for joining us and like. And subscribe to the show if you have not already. See you tomorrow, everybody.

[Clayton Morris]

Bye, everyone.
