Welcome into redacted on this Wednesday. Good to see you all on the show. We are going to talk about the impending threats from President Trump against Iran. Make a nuclear deal with us or else we are going to attack. And as his warning says, it's going to be much worse this time. Is that just bravado, chest beating, or is there a lot of truth to that? We're going to talk about that in just moments.
C
Also, we're going to talk about how President Trump says Cuba's going to collapse any, any minute now and then we'll have our way. What does that mean exactly? Why do we want that for Cuba, by the way?
B
Also, isn't that interesting that like all the timing on this, we heard about, we hadn't been really talking about Cuba at all and then suddenly Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, and in the mix was Cuba. And then a few weeks later, suddenly they're now collapsing. Yeah, it's always really amazing how that play plays out.
C
Also, we're going to talk about mass migration deals from India. Why is the European Union so keen on this? Especially as the euro fails? Most European countries and economies are absolutely devastated. Let's have more. Now is a good time, right? We're going to talk about that.
B
Yeah. And we're also going to talk about 15 minute cities. Two have just rolled out in the United Kingdom. We're talking about Oxford and Canterbury. And this is all about Control, of course. They control your banking, they control your movements, they control your carbon footprint. They can debank you if you decide to travel too much and they don't like where you're going. You want to go see grandma and upstate, Sorry, you've been traveling too much over the past couple of months and we're gonna cut you off. That's exactly what's happening in the uk, which has already turned into a communist country. So all of that and more as redacted starts right now. First, we wanna tell you about our friends over at Rumble and their Rumble Wallet. Because they can freeze your bank accounts, they can shut off your cards, lock you out of your own money overnight.

Go to wallet.rumble.com and try it right now. Set up your wallet right now@wallet.rumble.com. that's the place to go. All right, well, today we've got to talk about Iran because this is starting to look less like political theater and more like the Runway to a real conflict right now. President Trump just issued what is basically an ultimatum. Them come to the table and accept a new nuclear agreement. No nuclear weapons. Or the United States is prepared to hit Iran again. And he's warning the next strike would be, quote, far worse than the last one. Says a massive armada is heading towards Iran right now. No nuclear weapons. Time is running out. It's truly of the essence, as I told Iran once before, make a deal. They didn't. And there was Operation Midnight Hammer. Major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse. And this massive armada is moving towards Iran led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. And he framed it as a ready to go force that can act quickly if necessary. So the immediate question is this, is this leverage for negotiations? Are they actually interested in any kind of negotiations?
C
Well, that would be a good question, my darling, if the subject of the deal had not been about completely different things. So first it was about whether or not they might have nuclear arsenal. Then it was about whether or not they're building conventional missiles. Then it was back to, oh, and then it was whether or not they are, you know, hurting their own protesters. And now it's back to nukes. So can you follow this? Like, what's the deal about? The deal? It could be about anything the United States decides it is in any given time.
B
It's nonsensical, or is this a countdown to a shooting war? That's the other question. Former UN Weapons inspector Scott Ritter joins us now to analyze this latest buildup, this latest bluster. Scott, welcome back to the show. Great to see you.
D
Thanks for having me. I was going to divert for a moment and do that whole, that, that whole rumble wallet thing.
B
Yeah. As someone who was debanked, I know, I couldn't help it. I'm reading that. I'm like, oh, Scott, Scott was just debanked, like, two weeks ago. They just shut his bank account down. Like, unbelievable. So, yeah, our hearts go out to you on that. Sorry. Sorry to hear that. But this is indicative, of course, of like, of control. And they don't like what you're saying, so they go after people that they don't like what you're saying. And what you've been saying about Iran is prob. Rubbing people the wrong way. So what do you make of this latest taunt by President Trump just a short time ago?
D
Well, the thing about Trump is that we know that twice before he's backed down when it comes to decisive engagement with Iran. You know, when the global hawk was shot down, he was all in favor of, you know, bombing Iranian air defense sites. And he was warned by smarter people in the national security system that if he started a conflict with Iran, it wasn't going to go the way he thought it would, that the United States would be embarrassed, humiliated, and would take months, if not years to build up the military force to prevail. And so Trump backed off, claiming that he was sparing Iranian lives because he's such a great humanitarian. The most recent time is what just happened a few weeks ago with, you know, where Trump basically said that they were going to bomb Iran in support of the protesters. And then he pulled back. My first take on that is that somebody smarter than Trump again whispered in his ear and warned him of the consequences. We know that Israel and Saudi Arabia allegedly made phone calls saying to stop the bombing. But the more I reflect on it, the more I take a look at what's happening right now. I think that that was all part of the plan, that what we're seeing right now play out is part of a campaign strategy that unfolded when the United States and others doctored the Iranian currency, leading to an economic crisis that in turn led to demonstrations in the streets that were hijacked by Mossad and CIA controlled violent agitators who instigated massive acts of violence that triggered Iranian security response. I believe now that that was called shaking the tree, an old CIA tactic that I'm very familiar with where you set up a whole monitoring system and then you go in and you jingle and see what happens. And I think the United States and the Israelis were able to determine specifically what assets responded to what crises, where they're located, who controls them, things of that nature. And this has populated the target deck that we're going to use. Israel has made it clear that the next strike against Iran has to be the last strike against Iran. Israel said that, you know, they're ready to absorb 700 ballistic missiles coming out of Iran so long as Iran, the theocracy, is removed from power. So I think this, this attack, if it goes forward, will be an all out, full spectrum assault on Iran that involves not just airstrikes that are seeking to suppress Iran's security mechanisms. But I think you're going to see cyber attacks. We know that the National Security Agency and the Cyber Command have been implanting viruses throughout the Iranian infrastructure, both in terms of industry, but also just day to day life. How to turn on and off the lights, traffic lights, things of that nature. I think you're going to see the shutting down of Iran in order to create chaos, to create absolute dysfunction, suppress the security system and then have the paramilitary organizations that did not participate in the last go around, the Mujaheddin, Al Khalq, the Monarchists, the Baluch Liberation People of Oz, the Arabs, the Kurds, the Azeris, all of these groups that the CIA and Mossad have been funding over the years. I think they're going to make a bum rush on the major cities, including Tehran. And I think they're going to seek to remove the Iranian government from power. It has to be done quick. Israel can't absorb missile attacks forever, but that's the plan. I don't think it'll succeed. I think it'll fail. I think Iran will shut down the Strait of Hormuz, shut down oil production, kill a lot of Americans, destroy Israel, and hopefully somebody very smart is whispering this reality in Trump's ear up to including the fact that we could lose an aircraft carrier if we're not careful. So this isn't the Houthi that we're playing with. This is Iran. Iran recognizing that a, they're not going to make a deal because you can't make a deal. You know, Karen Knessel, she's a former Austrian foreign minister who currently is in St. Petersburg, head of the Gorky Center. You know, she bristles when she hears the term deal, especially when it comes out of Donald Trump's mouth. She says the term deal is the. It's the language of gangsters, of thugs, of criminals, of the Mafia. Iran doesn't want to deal with a gangster, thug, criminal of the mafia. They don't want to deal. Iran wants a treaty, a binding treaty, a binding agreement. They learned last time they made a deal with an American president, that deal can be broken by another American president on a whim. And that was the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Iran's not going to make a deal with Donald Trump. It could sign a treaty with the world, but that's not going to back down under the threats right now. So if this happens, this will be an existential fight that will bring about devastation for all parties involved. And just so all the Americans watching this, it means the end of the dollar, the end of your economy, the end of the standard of living that you're currently enjoying. You're going to see an economic collapse in the United States that will make the Great Depression pale in comparison. We can't handle what's about to come. So call your representatives, have them call generals, and have them whisper in Trump's ear and say, don't do this.
C
Right. And so I want to ask you two things. First, can you assess the government narrative that this is preemptive, that Iran is going to strike first, even though they have repeatedly said they will not, even though they never have, even though nothing has been proven, that they are antagonistic and they continue to show up for talks? So let's break down that narrative. And then I'd like you to respond to this. Here's Marco Rubio just a few minutes ago, acknowledging that, yes, this would cost American lives. And how does he make this calculation that it's worth it based on this threat assessment? Watch.
E
On the issue of our presence in the region, here's the Baseline I want to set for everybody. The baseline is this. We have 30 to 40,000American troops stationed across eight or nine facilities in that region. All are within the reach, theoretically, not theoretically. In reality, all are within the reach of an array of thousands of Iranian one way UAVs and Iranian short term ballistic missiles, short, short range of ballistic missiles that threaten our troop presence. We have to have enough force and power in the region just on a baseline to defend against that possibility that at some point, as a result of something, the Iranian regime decides to strike at our true presence in the region. The President always reserves the preemptive defensive option. In essence, if we have indications that in fact they're going to attack our troops in the region to defend our personnel in the region. We also have security agreements, the Defense of Israel plan and others that require us to have a force posture in the region to defend against that.
C
Okay, so that's the dangers. And we're saying, yeah, we're willing to provoke, we've got people in harm's way.
B
We need enough missiles to just make sure that they don't all get killed.
D
Well, again, just remind everybody Marco Rubio has never served in the United States military and has no clue what it means to serve in the United States military and has no clue what it means to serve in harm's way. I have, others have and he hasn't. So I'm dismissive of him. I would also remind Marco Rubio that, you know, we as a member of the United nations, you know, Congress has yet to revoke that we haven't withdrawn from the Charter. And so we are held to account legally for these actions. Now, it's never bothered us in the past. We've invaded and occupied Iraq and we've launched other strikes. But it's curious that he starts to articulate the language of international law, speaking of preemption, because we know that under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which calls for legitimate self defense, that nations can invoke preemptive self defense. That is a doctrine founded under constitutional law and international law. The Carolina Fair is an American British case that, you know, the United States Supreme Court weighed in on and it influences international law to this day. But to use the preemptive excuse, there has to be an imminent threat. And imminent threat is very specifically defined as it's happening now. You don't have time to go to the Security Council, get the Security Council to vote, et cetera. That simply isn't the case. You can't articulate genuine imminence Second of all, we know that Vladimir Putin has brokered an agreement between Israel and Iran that says neither will attack the other first. So the concept of preemption is absurd. It's been mooted by actual diplomacy. So this is simply Marco Rubio seeking to manufacture a case. I wish there were more people in the United States Congress who would ask questions, since he brought up preemption to ask questions about the nature of the imminent threat. Now, Rubio would talk about intelligence. And if I were the Senator, that I would just simply say, then we're going into immediate closed session. And you're gonna do it right now. Right now, because we're talking about war. And guess what, Marco? You don't get to declare war. The President doesn't get to declare war. Congress gets to declare war. And so before you talk about articulating a case to go to war where Americans are going to die, I mean, that's straight up. Americans are going to die. You need to be very specific about the imminent threat coming out of Iran and what would trigger a preemptive strike. And you better damn well come to Congress before do it, or we're going to start impeach people. And we need Congress to get enraged because we are talking about an existential threat to the health of the American nation.
B
No one perhaps knows more about going through this inspection process and knowing what a nation is capable of than you and warning people. I mean, if we had only heeded your warnings in Congress about what Saddam Hussein didn't have, millions of people might still be alive. But they had an agenda. So clearly they have an agenda here. But I want to ask you on this nuclear question specifically, what can intelligence, like, what kind of intelligence do we have in the United States with our buddies in Mossad? What can we actually know versus assume in Iran? Meaning what's the difference between a program, you know, a nuclear weapons program, nuclear energy, nuclear capability, and a nuclear weapon?
C
Yeah.
D
Well, you know, when we, you know, when we had this conversation or similar conversations in the lead up to the 12 Day War, I made it clear that I felt that Iran was making a. An egregious mistake in enriching uranium to 60%, that Iran had no legitimate reason to do so other than to position itself as a threshold nuclear power. And you back that up with statements made by senior Iranian officials about, you know, that, you know, they could produce a nuclear weapon with a matter of weeks if the Supreme Leader made the political decision to do so. You know, it becomes problematic. Now, I spoke with the Iranian President and The foreign minister in September addressed this very issue with them, and they reiterated forcefully that they had no intention, they don't want a nuclear bomb, et cetera. But 60% enriched uranium solves a lot of the physical processes, and it shortens the timeline, and it makes a more difficult intelligence problem to be resolved. Because to solve this, you've got to have very specific intelligence. There's certain things dealing with infrastructure. You know, I don't know exactly how much was destroyed during the bombing. I'm guessing much of it was. The stuff that wasn't destroyed, I'm guessing has been evacuated. I'm guessing we don't know exactly where this material has been evacuated, but there are certain signatures that are related to reconstitution that we would know if they were reconstituting. And my feeling is that Iran has been focused on reconstituting ballistic missile production capabilities as opposed to reconstituting a nuclear, you know, energy program at this point in time. It's no reason to rebuild that which can be readily destroyed. So they're in the process of preserving what they retained, and we don't know exactly how much of that is. This is a long way of saying that I don't believe intelligence exists that that. That fingers Iran to having an active nuclear enrichment program. In fact, I think the intelligence demonstrates clearly that Iran doesn't have an active uranium enrichment program because Iran hasn't been able to reconstitute what we knew to be the totality of their active enrichment program. And there's no evidence of them, you know, reconstituting elsewhere. And so I think the intelligence picture, although muddy, is clearer than one would believe. And I think it's clear that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapons program at this time. I don't believe they ever have been. A lot of people say that because of the attack in June, they have a justification to do so. But even if they tried to make that political justification, I don't believe they have the physical capability, and there's no evidence that they've moved in that direction. What we have here is Donald Trump seeking to, you know, to compel Iran just to give up. To give up on its nuclear program. And Iran's just not going to do that. It's not because they seek to pursue a nuclear weapon. It's because they have made the nuclear enrichment program a symbol of their national pride. It's a right that they have. They've sacrificed for over two and a half decades to preserve and move forward with this Right. And they're just not going to be intimidated into backing down. They have linked this to the existential survival of their nation. And Donald Trump doesn't. Trump is working on behalf of Israel. We have to be honest. I mean, the man all but acknowledged that $100 million that Miriam Adelson gave him was Israeli. He built a cabinet, the best cabinet that $100 million can, can buy, of nothing but Zionists who back Israel. Hell, we even address, you know, put people in, like the former deputy director of the FBI damn budget who said his number one priority is the security of Israel. The deputy director of the FBI said his number one priority is the security of Israel. Right now, you know, I've been debunked because I call this nonsense out.
C
I want to ask you. Yes. So in the recent military strategy document, it says that Israel is a model ally. Everybody else take note. This is exactly what we want from our trade and international partners, which is laughable because this is the model ally that continues to lead us into global wars. I want to ask you, though, because you said that the consequences of this could be utter devastation for this model ally. What does that mean? Do you think Iran has like a tricks up its sleeve that we would not know? And you mentioned cyber warfare, shutting down entire societies. That could very well happen in Israel. Is that what you're saying?
D
Look, we, we know that when Stuxnets, the old, the virus originally was deployed against Iran, that there was a follow on virus, it had a different name, Zeus something. And the Iranians found it and repurposed it and sent it back and shut down Aramco just as a signal of we know what you're up to. It was the same DNA as the virus we put in there. They made sure that we were able to reverse engineer and understand what had happened. Iran has some extremely capable cyber tools as well, and they will deploy those, but this will be the physical destruction of Israel. I think we need to remind everybody in your audience that it was Benjamin Netanyahu who picked up the phone, called Donald Trump and begged him to bring it into this conflict because the Iranians were starting to bring out the good stuff. And again, this shows the restraint of Iran after a surprise attack that attempted to decapitate their leadership. After suffering, you know, significant losses of their military, Iran still didn't go for the kill. Iran was looking for an off ramp to this fight. And, you know, but in the end they did deploy missiles, new missiles that were extraordinarily destructive and extraordinarily accurate, that nothing could shoot down. And Netanyahu finally woke up to the fact that it's over, that if this continues, his country will be destroyed. So he begged Trump to intervene. Iran still has those missiles, and Israel still can't shoot down these missiles. And this is the reality. Israel says they can take 700. That's the message that was sent to the Trump administration. If this war goes forward, we can absorb 700 missiles. Iran is going to hit Israel with thousands. It will be the end of Israel as a modern, viable nation state. It is a small country with limited infrastructure capabilities, and all of this infrastructure will be destroyed by Iran within three days of this fight starting. So, you know, again, this is where smart people have to whisper in Trump's ears, don't do this. I mean, if Israel's our model ally, I just want to remind people that Jonathan Pollard spied on behalf of Israel. He worked for the United States Navy. He stole the most sensitive secrets of America, secrets that impacted our national security, gave them to Israel at the direction of Israel, and then Israel, this model ally, gave them to the Soviet Union. And many of these secrets dealt with billion dollar programs that we were using to monitor Soviet missile capabilities, strategic capabilities that dealt with nuclear war, fighting, planning, etc. Jonathan Pollard, an American citizen working on behalf of the Israeli government, stole the most sensitive secrets, gave it to Israel for money, and then Israel sold it to the. So Israel's not an ally. People need to understand that Israel is not an ally. Israel uses the United States States for Israel's purposes, but we're not an ally. Benjamin Netanyahu mocks about how he buys US Congress, how he owns the United States. Israel's been spying on us. When I was back in the intelligence business, you know, we still had a system that had been totally bought out by Israel. And, you know, we had Erebus in the State Department. We had people who cared about America and the Pentagon, and they viewed Israel as the number one threat. Israel is the largest practitioner of espionage on American soil. Not China, not Russia, not Iran. Israel is the largest practitioner of espionage targeting the United States of America, operating on American soil. And they're our model ally.
C
Well, I mean, that's what a battered wife would say. My husband's amazing, Right? So this tracks this model ally bit. I'd like to move on to Cuba, talking about Cuba, because this is what President Trump said on Tuesday. Kind of joking. They're gonna fall soon. It looks. Looks a little bit diabolical. Watch.
D
Well, we're going to see what happens with Cuba. I Don't know anybody interested in Cuba in this room. Not too many people.
B
This is not a Cuba room.
D
But that's all right. There are plenty of them around, especially in Miami. And Cuba will be failing pretty soon. Cuba is really a nation that's very close to failing. You know, they got their money from Venezuela, they got the oil from Venezuela. They're not to going getting that anymore.
B
You were talking about the polls earlier.
C
Clearly you're okay. What is this about? Well, obviously Cuba is under long standing trade embargoes, which means they have to do workarounds to get oil. Historically, Cuba has got their oil from Venezuela and Mexico. Now we cut them off from Venezuela. Now we told Mexico you cut them off too, because we want to inflict maximum suffering on their people to. It's to erect a regime change. Now Mexico said we're not going to do that. We do what we want. But they did that. Here's proof of that. China has condemned this action, saying that this is depriving the people of Cuba their rights to subsist and develop. Why would China care? Well, because China and Cuba are trading partners and the US sees that as broader regional contest between Washington and Beijing. So could that be the real reason that we want to harm Cuba? And I want to show you this, Scott as well. The new Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine basically says in this hemisphere we do whatever the F we want. And they use the word prerogative. If we think someone's getting popular here, someone's exerting influence, we do what we want according to our prerogatives. So can you translate why we want to torture Cuba? Why are we doing this? What is in our interest?
D
Well, there's a couple things, but I think we need to just get down to brass tacks. Marco Rubio. Since Marco Rubio became a senator, he has been singularly focused on, you know, Cuba. His, you know, father came from Cuba or father, grandfather came from Cuba, a Batista man. And Rupio has, you know, he's from that Cuban American community that, you know, basically the only thing that gives him relevance is their insistence on anti communist policies and they leverage that into significant political power. He's now the Secretary of State, but more importantly, he's the national security advisor. He's dual hatted. That means he doesn't just make and implement foreign policy. He's now responsible for coordinating foreign policy with COVID policy, the CIA's activities, et cetera. But Marco Rubio is the man who gave us Venezuela, and he's the man who's focused on Cuba. He's the man who's focused on having American domination of the entire South American continent, all of Latin America. And this is why we're singling Cuba out. Yes, we have the Trump corollary. Yes, we have the national security strategy. But the reality is we're talking about, this is Marco Rubio's pet project. This is his pathway to the presidency. This is how he sees he's going to claim the White House in 2028. This is Marco Rubio's private war. Cuba poses no threat to the United States whatsoever. And the fact that Cuba trades with China and Russia and Venezuela is primarily driven by the fact that Cuba doesn't trade the United States. But that's not a decision Cuban makes. That's a decision the United States makes because of its sanctions. You know, can we, can we collapse the Cuban economy? You know, we've been trying for, for decades. Does Donald Trump have a plan that's going to work? You know, we shall see. But yeah, I just think that Cuba's going to be a tougher nut than Donald Trump thinks it is. This is a man who continually goes for the, for the quick kill, the cheap kill, but he's not willing to have a knockdown, drag out fight.
C
So if this were an SAT question, we could frame it like this. Hillary Clinton is to Libya what Marco Rubio is to Cuba. Right. So both launching wars and utter destruction on the civilian population for their own political gain.
D
Correct. Except I just don't think we're going to succeed in Cuba. I think Cuba has far more resilience. Resilience than Libya did.
C
Yes. What we just ran here was the protest today against foreign intervention. This is what you're seeing. I apologize. Go ahead.
D
No, no, I. Look, I just, you know, I've never been to Cuba. I can't claim to be, you know, an expert on Cuba, but I've just studied history and I know that from the Bay of Pigs until today, we've been trying to get rid of the Cuban government and we haven't succeeded. So I don't know if Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have the magic, the magic solution. They talk as if they do, but I just want to point out that even after we got rid of Maduro, we don't control Venezuela. And that point should be made. Venezuela is not under our control. You know, we can sanction Venezuela, we can blockade Venezuela, but as things stand, you know, the Venezuelan government, still, the Venezuelan government, it has been. Unless the CIA has executed covert contracts with everybody and they're secretly doing the bidding, which is always a possibility. We haven't finalized the Venezuela situation, and I think it's a little premature to assume American victory over Cuba.
B
The CIA, this has been like the crown jewel. They've been hoping for this for decades in Cuba. They failed at every turn, from exploding cigars to God knows what else that they've been been involved with. I mean, there's, like, museums dedicated to their failures in Cuba. How active do you think the intelligence community is in Cuba in the way it has been so active inside of Venezuela for the last few decades?
D
I think it's extraordinarily active. But I also think that the points of leverage or the points of access in Cuba are not as extensive as they were in Venezuela. Venezuela has, of course, the oil business that produces oligarchs who are politically and economically influential. And the United States has been owning these people for decades, and they never really lost their place or position in Venezuela. So we were able to exploit that, exploit the elites. Cuba is communist country, and I don't. While I do believe that we have penetrated Cuba, I mean, the CIA is hard at work doing their job. I believe that the Cuban government is largely insulated from the kind of, you know, penetration that took place in Venezuela. And I. I just think it's going to be a much more difficult target than Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are trying to sell to the American people.
B
Scott ritter. Hey, with 30 seconds left, I mean, just on the Iran question, real quick to wrap it. Do you think that an attack is imminent.
C
Put odds on it?
B
No.
D
No. And the reason why I say no is we're going to get our asses kicked. And it's obvious we're going to get our asses kicked. And I'm just convinced that somebody's going to bring this up to Trump and say if you attack Iran, you will lose the midterms and you will spend the second half of your administration being impeached, and you may actually get convicted and you will go to jail. Don't do this.
B
Yikes.
C
There's personal consequences.
B
That's Scott's way of being half glass full.
C
Yes, yes.
B
And I've.
C
All right.
B
I hope you're right.
C
Get out of here, you optimist, you.
F
Yeah.
B
Scott, thank you so much, as always. Great analysis and insight. No one I'd rather talk to on this. Thanks, Scott.
D
Thanks for having me.
C
You better feel angst, Clayton.
B
Well, I feel it's good. I hope that someone's in his ear. I mean, you saw you saw last time what happened. Right. So I don't know, but there seems to be a lot of bravado right now. And of course they're taking the calls from Israel. So they desperately want us to do this. Hopefully they're smarter people will step in on all of this. Hey, coming up next, we're going to talk about mass migration. I don't know if you saw Ursula von der Leyen yesterday announcing this new mobility plan which will allow of course, the mass migration of Indians. Yes. From India into the European Union. Oh, great. This is exactly what they need. Hey, is there a model, a template for this anywhere that we could look at? Oh, yeah, Canada. Canada completely overrun from East Indians and Indians and any. Ask anybody who lives in Vancouver or British Columbia or anywhere, frankly, what it like looks, looks like they're absolutely overrun with Indians. So, hey, guess what? That's about to happen in the uk.
C
Well, our next guest is calling for sensible immigration. What does that mean? Is that a thing? It is in certain countries, but for some reason not western ones. So we're going to get to that in a second. But first, first I want to tell.
B
You about Mizzen and Maine. I'm telling you what, if you want to go out, get a nice shirt on. Most of the time they're uncomfortable, comfortable, they're miserable, they're hot. You stick to, you know, they just don't feel right. I'm telling you, when I got my Mizzen and Main shirts and my pants, by the way, this is the most, these are the most comfortable shirts I've ever worn. And look, I used to be a news anchor on Fox News channel and every day I had to wear a damn suit and tie. I had to wear, you know, button down shirt every day with a tie. And I hated it. They were all uncomfortable. And I'm telling you, these are the most comfortable shirts I've ever worn, worn from Mizzen and Maine. So you know, if you, and it's like they're so lightweight and you take them right out of the dryer, you don't have to iron them at all. They're so comfortable. Most dress shirts make you choose should I look polished or feel comfortable. And Mizzen and Main is the first shirt I've worn that actually does both and it does it without ironing, steaming or even dry cleaning. They make classic menswear with performance fabric. So it's effortless to look sharp and feel great. And then right now Mizzen and Men is offering our listeners 20% off your first purchase.

All right, let's talk about this. Hey, hey. Thanks everyone for subscribing to the channel. We really appreciate it on, on Rumble and, and, and YouTube and thanks. We, you know, it's great. I just want to say thank you because our, our views have surged and our subscribers have surged as well. I think we're getting close to 700,000 of you on Rumble.
C
I think that's, I think that's very exciting.
B
Yes, I think that's the number. Almost 700,000. So thank you guys for that. And almost hitting 3 million on YouTube. So thanks to all of you truth seekers out there and the tens of thousands of you watching right now. Thank you. Okay, well if you want to get a sense of what happens when you open up your doors to massive amounts of immigration from India, look no further than Canada. Specifically British Columbia, Columbia, Vancouver. That province and city are overrun with East Indians. Get on the sky train to head downtown and you'll be filled with East Indian immigrants. For Canadians who grew up there, it's now unrecognizable. Tyler Olivier. Olivier put together a snapshot of India's invasion of Canada. Here's just a glimpse.
C
Oh no, that's Punjabi's.
B
Here in Brampton, it's like home. This is Brampton, Canada's little India. Where roughly 53% of the entire population is foreign born and India is the number one country of origin. Where are you originally from?
D
I'm from India.
B
India. India. India.
F
I'm from Punjab.
B
Punjab, Punjab. Everyone's from Punjab. From Ghana, from Sri Lanka, Jamaica.
D
Okay.
B
Is there a large Indian community here in Brampton?
F
Too much.
B
Too much, yeah.
D
In store counter.
B
Why is it so popular for Indians here? I don't know. It's cheap. I'm not 100% certain but a lot of people say it's cuz the airport's right there. It's been going off for about 40 years.
D
What do you do for work?
E
Drive.
B
Have you noticed any big demographic changes here in Brampton?
G
Yes.
B
What are your thoughts on the Indian migration that's come here recently?
H
They're okay, but they don't bother me though.
B
Nice people. They're good people actually that's just a glimpse. We'll get ready because the same thing is about happen in Europe where this week Ursula von der Leyen, the unelected globalist leader of Europe made this announcement about opening Europe's doors to massive amounts of Indian immigrants using virtually the same program that Canada did watch provincials.
H
Finally Prime Minister Diana Render. We both know our greatest wealth are our people. That is why so glad that we are signing an agreement on mobility. We will facilitate the movement of students, researchers, seasonal and highly skilled workers. And this is also why we are launching the first EU legal gateway office in India. It will be a one stop hub to support Indian talent moving to Europe in full alignment with EU member states needs and policies. This is good for our economies, this is good for the friendship between our people. And this openness benefits us all.
B
All right, there you go. That's what's coming. Europe is already collapsing under its own disastrous energy policies, open borders immigration policies, are now facing massive immigration from India. So will this be good? Let's ask Lauren Chen. She's a Canadian. She's seen exactly what happened to her country with massive immigration from India. Lauren, welcome to the show. Great to see you.
F
Thank you so much for having me. Although this is a. I'm sorry that this is the topic I'm going to be speaking about, because I'm going to be real with you. It's a pretty negative one, at least. At least when you look at what's happened to Canada after mass Indian migration now, you have.
B
Have. I'm sorry, I was just gonna say, what has happened to Canada?
F
Well, you see, by and large, a general decrease in the standard of living for Canadians. There are Canadians who are in high school or even coming out of college who frankly cannot get a job because there are so many Indians who have been imported who are willing to work for cheaper. And I don't know if the EU is as crazy as the Canadian government, but there's actually a program in the Canadian government where they will subsidize the wages of Indian immigrants if different companies want to bring them over. It is insanity. We also see the cost of living has gone up. Housing especially has exploded in prices, and it's getting harder and harder for even millennials like myself to purchase homes. A lot of Canadians don't have, you know, the same prospects of being independent that their parents did. And a lot of this is specifically due to the mass migration. Canada Native Canadians have a. A birth rate that's below replacement, which means that, you know, hous actually should be getting cheaper, but it's not. It's skyrocketing, and it's specifically because of mass migration. And, you know, when we look at the Indian culture specifically, what we also see, unfortunately, is that a lot of the people coming over are not compatible with Canadian values. Like, I don't mean to be crass, but not defecating publicly. There's been an increasing issue on Canadian beaches where they're putting up signs against public defecation. And I don't mean to sound like a Western chauvinist, but I just, I think if you, if you don't know that inherently it's not appropriate to defecate on a beach, you probably shouldn't be moving into my country.
C
Now, you have said you're not against immigration. You have no prejudice against different cultures. You're asking for reasonable and measured and slower immigration at a rate at which a country can adopt There is no method for calculating this. There's no, We've been immigrants, we moved to Portugal. We had to show that we would use our own health insurance, that we were people of means, that we would not be a drain on their economy. Why can't that be a thing? It was not racist. When Portugal asked us for that, we didn't feel offended.
F
No, absolutely not. I myself have immigrated and lived in different countries and I think it's very reasonable for a host country to say we want to make sure that you're going to be a contributor, that you're going to assimilate, that you're not going to be a drain and that you're not going to disrupt our way of life. And for the longest time, Canada specifically actually had a very, a very, I think, workable immigration system. It was merit based, points based. That's why I think similar to the United States, for the longest time, the immigrant Indians, sorry, Indian immigrants specifically that were coming over to Canada, they were skilled professionals. And so for a long time, generations in Canada, the Indian community actually had a very, a positive reputation because these people were our doctors, accountants, business owners who integrated. And the numbers were such that they weren't causing these huge drastic shifts in things like the housing market markets or labor markets. However, since especially Justin Trudeau came in as Prime Minister, that system has shifted. We're no longer talking about limited skills based immigration. Now we're talking about mass migration, including chain migration, bringing over low skilled workers. And we're seeing now increasingly that India as a country is just not compatible with Canada as a country. There's a difference between saying some Indian immigrants can come over, we'll take your best and brightest. Of course, course there is a, that's not the same thing as saying, by and large we're going to have this blanket compact like it seems like the EU is trying to implement with this country that, I'm sorry, but is, is a developing country. Their, you know, their education standards is not the same, are not the same as Canada's. Their professional standards are not the same. The EU mentioned students specifically. What you need to understand, and Canada has been grappling with this is that there are a lot of fraudulent universities in India, diploma mills, where they will just print out these, these fake degrees and award them to people who are willing to pay for them giving that person a ticket to whichever country they want. The US is also seeing fraud like this when it comes to H1BS. And so I would very much caution any world leader in doing this type of Deal specifically with India. When we're seeing the number of scams that are happening, I think it's also, I think relevant to talk about. We've seen truck drivers of Indian descent specifically in America and Canada caused these fatalities because obviously, like, you know, licenses are something where there's also different standards. So just by and large, not all countries are like America or Canada or the uk. If we were talking about, you know, a more immigration within these developed western countries, that would be one thing. I think the general population is at a point where they would still be skeptical about it. But when we're talking about a third world developing, you know, South Asian country, put the brakes on. No one in Europe has voted for this. No one in Canada voted for this. And yet time and time again we see that this is where things are going. People need to be very concerned in Europe.
C
Go ahead.
B
I was going to talk about crime statistics because if you look at Canadian crime statistics and I haven't collated all of them, but from violent crime, like every category of crime has risen dramatically since this massive increase in migration. And let me just put up some numbers here on the screen, just based on the permanent residents and how this has surged in Canada specifically. Permanent residents by country of citizenship for just Q1 of 2025. Look at 30% surge from India specifically. Then you've got China, Cameroon, Nigeria, but overwhelmingly it's India. And then you see over the past number of years, going back to 2000 again, India, India, India. And it's all part of this international mobility program, which is the same exact thing that Ursula von der Leyen is trying to do in Europe. So can we anticipate a surge in crime across Europe?
F
Absolutely. And what, what is frustrating that progressives pretend they don't understand is that the reason why certain countries are more dangerous than others is because of the people who are in it. Like there's, there's someone who's gotta be committing those crimes. And if you just you know, kind of blanketly accept people from that country, it's, it just makes sense that your crime statistics would be beginning, would begin to become more reflective of that. Other countries in Canada specifically, we've seen an increase in things like scams, mail, theft, unfortunately, sexual assaults. These are all sort of what India has become notorious for. And like clockwork, Canada increasingly is seeing the same as well. And I don't, you know, looking at the situation in Europe, we see increasingly anti immigration hard right parties are becoming more and more popular. We see that in, in Germany with the alternative for Deutschland reform UK as well. Even in, in France we're seeing a growing populist anti immigration movement. And yet simultaneously it seems like the EU and a lot of the ruling class in Europe, they're hell bent on increasing these very unpopular programs. I have a lot of sympathy frankly for the people in Europe right now because it seems like their government is just not listening to what they're saying. They're doing the complete opposite. And you know, already in Europe we're seeing some of the same things we saw in Canada with mass migration. Housing is becoming more unaffordable, crime rates are going up. So for people to look at this and say yes, we want more, I really have to wonder what the ulterior motives must be because it definitely isn't the wealth concern for the welfare of your actual citizens.
C
Right. And I'm just sort of confounded on how these western states have dropped their requirements to assimilate. They just don't care. Which shows a lack of respect for the native population in this places. In Italy, in Portugal, it has always been that if you want to get a passport there and you, you qualify, you must pass a language test, you must show a proficient.
B
Yeah.
C
Show proficiency in the culture. And so does this show that western governments just absolutely are self loathing for their own culture?
F
100%. And I want to be clear. I don't support these types of destructionist policies for any country, not just my own. You know, if India were to say, hey, we're going to open up the, the immigration standards and invite a bunch of Somalis and I could imagine a bunch of Indians would not like that as well and they wouldn't feel comfortable with that. I think countries have a right to declare that we have minimum standards, that no one has a right to be here if you're not born here. And we are able to set those standards as high as we want, that's how most other countries frankly function. And it's very strange how when it to comes comes to immigration into western countries, the rest of the world has developed a sense of entitlement, almost as if you're, you're owed being able to move to, to Germany, to France, to Canada or the United Kingdom, even if it's to the detriment of the native population. And I'm very concerned frankly for the youth of Europe, their prospects are looking very grim. Like the youth in Canada, you know, we are seeing increasingly a birth rate decline which is due to things like a very negative outlook for the economy. And it's kind of ironic because the mass migration proponents will point to low birth rates as reasons why we need to invite all of these other people in, largely from the third World. And yet we see consistently that it's. It's these people from the third world who are largely making things more unaffordable and also, frankly, sucking up a lot of resources that would otherwise go to the native population in terms of. Of things like welfare, especially, you know, there's a big scandal in America over the disproportionate use of welfare amongst Somali immigrants. I think it's fair to say that if there are people who are from your country who are struggling, your government is. Is in no place to start inviting other people who are also likely to have to depend on those government benefits.
C
Yeah, absolutely.
B
Lauren Chen, great to have you on the show for the first time. I can't believe we haven't had you on the show yet. That's a tragedy.
F
Thank you for having me. It's, It's. It's been a joy.
B
Well, we're thrilled to have you here.
C
Come back, please.
B
Come back. Hopefully we didn't.
F
Absolutely not.
B
Sometimes she's off putting.
F
Let Canada be a warning.
C
Yeah, right.
B
That's true. Oh, my gosh, Lauren, thank you so much. I appreciate it, man. And also to talk about, like, these, like, dog pooping signs. I mean, you've seen them. Like, the signs are on social media.
C
Sure.
B
Like, you're at the beach, like, dog poop.
F
I wish it was fake.
B
Yeah, it looks fake. It looks like it's AI, but they're very real. Right, right.
C
It's not an exclusionary thing to say. Like, some cultures have different, you know, practices around spitting and all of that. Like, we have to decide what is ours. We thought we had one, but do we or don't we?
F
Yeah, yeah. I feel like if it's. If it's being offensive by telling people not to poop places, I'm okay with being offensive.
C
Okay.
B
Right.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
You can't spit gum on the ground in Singapore, otherwise you'll get casual.
C
Remember that you can poop in San Francisco, where I'm from. So that's. That is.
D
They have a map.
B
Yeah, they have a poop map.
D
Yeah.
G
If you want to access a.
C
Okay.
B
Where to. Where to poop in San Francisco? Lauren, we're sorry. We're sorry for this kind of talk.
C
This is really disintegrated.
F
Yeah.
B
Thank you so much. All right, coming up on the show, we're going to talk about 15 minute cities, and this is something that the UK is now rolling out. It's not a conspiracy theory anymore. It was labeled as such. Oh, you're just conspiracy theorists that they're gonna cut off and debank you. And if you move around too much, if your carbon footprint is too much and you've traveled too much. Well, they are now officially rolling out these 15 minute cities. We're gonna talk about all of that in just moments. But first, but first, look, I just turned 49 a few weeks ago. I know I look great. Stop it. But I'll be honest, it's one of the most, most. You know, it's a big wake up call moment. Not in like a dramatic way, but more like, hey, I started noticing like small stuff that, you know, the same workouts feel a little heavier, recovery takes a little bit longer.
C
It's called andropause.
B
Okay, by mid afternoon, menopause by male menopause. But by mid afternoon I'd hit that wall where you start getting things like done. It feels like you're pushing through mud, your legs are killing you. Like, oh my God, I did that workout this morning. And that's, that's why health is my priority this year because I just don't want to just get by. I want my energy back. I want to make sure that like my back doesn't get sore when all of that. So that's why I started taking a part of my routine is called Mars Men. It's designed to support healthy testosterone levels, energy, stamina, performance without needles, without anything synthetic. One thing they explained that really clicked for me is that the idea that your body can have testosterone but not all, all of it is available to use. So Mars Men is built to support that usable, free side of the equation. For me, the biggest difference has been more consistent energy. Not like crashing in the middle of the afternoon, not like a coffee spike, more like not crashing as hard. I feel more switched on through the day. Some men also report better gym performance and recovery. And I can tell you that's been my experience. I've really been trying to stay consistent with my weight training and just have that overall sense of drive. They use eight natural clinically dosed ingredients like Tongkat, Ali, Shaljat, vitamin D, zinc, boron and more. It's made in the U.S. third party tested. There's a 90 day money back guarantee. So it's basically risk free. To try, go to MengotoMars.com men go to Mars.com and get 50% off for life plus free shipping and three free gifts. When you sign up for A limited time, our listeners will get 50 off for life plus free shipping. Three free gifts. If you go to men. Go to mars.com it's a perfect way to kick off the new year. Strong men. Go to mars.com 50off, three free gifts after you purchase. They're going to ask where you heard about us. Please tell them you heard about them from redacted.
C
The chat room's asking, does Natalie benefit? Does she notice? Now, Clayton is too young for andropause, which happens mostly in the 60s, but men do very much need testosterone and at a steady level throughout their life.
B
So yeah, she gets the full benefits.
C
I was telling Clayton this morning that when men go through andropause, if they have regular intimate lives, it actually helps them to not deteriorate. You're not there, honey. It's not a medical requirement yet.
B
Okay, good.
C
But yeah, well, let's it make age 60. I was reading the book the Male Brain this week. I loved it. If you've read that book, let me know.
B
And I love. She was like saying she was learning this. I'm like, that's fantastic. This is the best book ever. Then you're learning this bit of information. Keep it going.
C
Did you know that? And Clayton's like, I can do this.
B
Yes, I can do need some help? I'm right there to help you. I'm ready to go. You know, that's what I think about for most, most of my day when I'm not thinking about that. I'm thinking about 15 minute cities are.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
That's how I bring myself down.
C
You really should have a little palette cleanser before we bring in another guest because it will make them uncomfortable. Did you notice I cut my hair today? I took.
B
I did not.
C
Took a whole two inches off. So. Okay, that was the palate cleanser. No, nobody ever notices.
B
Our next guest is not going to be uncomfortable. She can handle anything.
C
We'll see.
B
15 minute cities are no longer a conspiracy theorist theory. They are now truly happening. And ground zero is the United Kingdom. It's quickly becoming a Stalinist country. Of course, this is all about control. Controlling your movements, controlling your carbon footprint, controlling your banking, all of it. Oxford, Canterbury have divided their cities into zones now where residents are basically banned. I shouldn't say basically. I mean, I think they are actually banned from driving between districts without permits. You can't go over there. Think you can drive to that other town? You can't do it. You're in this 15 minute city. Now here's how the telegraph puts it out. Labor opens the door to Stalinist 15 minute cities all across Britain. Yep. They've rolled out a Stalinist 15 minute cities across the UK. Ministers have said they will allow councils to use driver's license databases to impose fines on drivers who fall foul of traffic filters which reduce restrict driving in certain areas. And our next guest is Maria Z and she is from Z Media. She can handle anything. Maria, I know you've been covering this story on your show. Welcome back to Redacted. Great to see you.
G
Great to be back. Thank you so much. Yes, unfortunately this is something that those of us who've been paying attention have known is coming for some time. It's interesting to see them going mask off now though, and a admitting that they're doing this. And I'm glad you use the word districts because this is a very Hunger Games esque style word that has actually been used by the Australian government in the past when they've talked about carving up the Sydney for example, into districts. And that is exactly what they're doing. You mentioned, you know, the, the driver's license system that they'll be using. Under the scheme, drivers are going to need a residential permit that allows 100 days of free travel per year through six traffic filters during operating hours. And it's interesting because the previous government, from what I understand, tried to actually limit this from going through, but they said that they would review their guidelines and regulations. You know, all their fluffy talk which has now opened up using this model all across Britain. So it's being tested in, you know, Oxford, but it's going to be rolled out all across Britain. What a lot of people don't necessarily understand is just how widespread this is. And I hope to get into some of that detail with you today because there are actually 188 cities in the US that are scheduled to be doing the same thing as what we're seeing in the uk. So whenever you like I can take you through some of that data.
B
Yeah. Could you read off all 188 cities? That's unbelievable. I mean I just literally thought it was like five or six in some of these cities. 188. Will they use the same sort of structure and implementation that we're seeing in the uk?
G
So what they do in the UK or Australia or countries like this is they always test to see how quickly and far they can push before there's public backlash to see whether they can repeat the same thing again. Began that's what we saw with digital ID in the uk. Australia had a Different approach to digital id. They did it with social media Age Bands UK came straight out and said, no, if you want to keep working, you need to get a digital id. So that obviously faced backlash. And so now they're going with a quote, unquote, voluntary digital ID system. But my point in saying all of that is that they roll this out very aggressively, aggressively in some places to see, okay, this is how far we can push here. We need a different approach elsewhere. And they have a lot of tricks up their sleeve, such as something called managed retreat. But let me just give people a really quick overview of where this is actually heading. There is a report which is titled the Future of Urban consumption in a 1.5 degree world. This was published in 2019 in conjunction with the Universal University of Leeds, a ROP and C40 cities. I will talk about those organizations in a moment. The report clearly says that the plan is to have there. They've set these targets for 2030 and the UK is following this to a T. So it's worthwhile. People reading this report. I've been warning about it for years and it's finally here. But anyway, we won't go back in time. There are two targets that they are setting for the mayors of all of these cities, including the ones in the us. When I say mayors, I'm not talking about horses, I'm saying mayors.
C
I feel like.
F
Clarify that.
G
Mayors.
F
Yeah.
C
One of our guests says she doesn't sound like she's from Texas. I'm sure you get that a lot. But I'll say with my California accent.
F
Mayors.
B
Mayors. Yeah.
G
So they have. They've said two targets for these mayors. There is a progressive target for 2030, which people need to understand is the bare minimum of what they're aiming to achieve by 2030. But I would tell people to look at the ambitious target because they actually are incentivized, whether it be financially or they've been promised, you know, unlimited digital currency in the Great Reset, they are incentivized to reach that target. So the ambitious target for 2020, 30 is 0 kg of meat consumption every year per person. 0 kg. 00 kg. The progressive target, if you want to know, is a maximum of 16 kg of meat per person per year. So they will not allow people within these cities to eat more than 16 kg. But again, the real goal is zero. There's also zero dairy.
C
But also, isn't there an exception? If you're wealthy, you can pay. It's mostly for the plebeians, like plenary indulgences.
B
And you know, in the church back and that you could just play pay extra and you get away with this.
G
I have absolutely no doubt that the quote unquote elites will have access to whatever delicacies they wish. This is for the people that are under the control of the digital ID digital currency system. As far as clothing goes, people will only under the ambitious targets be allowed to purchase three new clothing items per year. We've actually already seen the UK Sadiq Khan was talking about this previously. So when I say they're following this report to a T, I really mean it. They are literally using the ambitious targets. There is also 00 private vehicle ownership allowed by the time we reach 2030. And short haul return flights will be limited to less than 1500 kilometers per every three years per person. That is it. That is all that you are allowed to travel every three years.
B
Oh my God.
C
I mean so many economies are built on travel how. And buying food, it's so nonsensical.
B
And clothing, I mean this is basically like a socialist system. So you're. Which has never worked of course in the history of the world has never worked. So you're going to limit what people can buy, you're going to tell people what they can eat, you're going to limit their travel. And this will lead to total destruction of these economies, will it not?
G
Yes, absolutely. And I think that's exactly what they want. Although I dare say that by the time we reach full smart city implementation we would already be inside their desired great reset where everything is. The fiat system has been purposely collapsed and they're now inside the digital currency system. When they talk about smart cities, something so important, important to note, people may think well it's convenient. You know, they sell it to us as all you can reach, everything you need to within 15 minutes your workplace, whatever. And under a system where we weren't being ruled by psychopaths, that could be a good thing. You know, you don't have to spend two hours in the car to get to work. The problem is that there are limits to leaving. You are geofenced inside these places. Not only that. Clayton and Natalie. I was looking at plans for smart cities in New South Wales where I was living previously in Australia and they were within those plans, they openly admit that there will be street furniture that monitors human behavior. Absolutely. So your park bench will be monitoring your behavior. They are going to. Everything will be digitized including the, the, the infrastructure around you is going to be spying on you 24 7.
B
Well this like, this is like 6G technology. I would have. Well, maybe not, but it could be a 6G technology. Right.
C
It's literally from Big Brother when they get caught by the picture.
G
Right, Right.
C
Yeah.
G
So, so simultaneously they're rolling out the facial recognition in the UK now, they've said that they're going to be doing that, but I think people don't realize how dystopian they really want to take this when we're talking about street furniture that monitors your behavior. And this really does fall in line with Bill Gates patent 060606. Everyone go look it up. You know, mining cryptocurrency with your body's data. That is what the patent is. And it talks about a future where you will be rewarded in cryptocurrency based on your behavior, based on what your body and your behavior is doing. And that is completely in line with what the UN has a group has said, which Ursula von der Leyen of the EU is part of in the book that they've published called Remaking the World towards an Age of Global Enlightenment, where they talk about a time where you won't be penalized like China does, but you just won't be rewarded with digital currency unless you do exactly what they want you to. And the, the street bench is going, the park bench is going to make sure that you are behaving how you should be at all times inside these smart cities.
B
That's how they'll try to. Yeah. Win you over. They'll give you like financial incentives to be little slaves. You know, it won't be like a universal basic income, but in many ways it will act that way. Right. We'll control you through these financial incentives.
G
Right.
C
We saw you sneak in chocolate. There you go.
B
Yeah.
C
Minus 50 credits.
G
Well, they'll make sure that you can't even sneak that chocolate. That they will. They, the World bank and the IMF have openly spoken about how they will be limiting or stopping you from making certain purchases, purchases in real time, like ammunition, for example. They specifically gave that example. I'll really quickly mention about C40. This is one of the, the, the organizations that's published that report I just cited to you. The UK government is involved, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Denmark, the European Union, Amazon's Climate pledge, Uber is involved in this plan. And then you also have other funding such as FedEx, Google, IBM. So we are talking about serious players involved in this worldwide. And then one of their partners is the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy. And I would really, really love to cite that website for the viewers, this is a very important website, one that most people don't know about. When you go onto that website, you will be be able to see the cities that are part of this covenant of mayors. Just think about the language. It's very religious. Actually. All these mayors that have said yes, we will be doing this. What you are seeing in the uk, if you're horrified or if you're horrified at the sound of street furniture that's monitoring your behavior, just know that there are 188 cities in the US that are signed up to this already. It includes Salem, Santa Cruz in California, St. Petersburg in Florida, Urbana, Illinois, Carmel, Indiana, Louisiana, Chicago, Houston in Texas, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Arizona. I mean the list goes on and on. So this is not just isolated to the uk. This plan is worldwide and absolutely underway in the US as is as it is in other countries. You're just seeing an accelerated version in.
C
The uk Wild to rebel against this.
B
We need a revolution.
C
It's worse than. Yeah, it's worse than this article. Thank you for that. Jar is on the desk.
G
One more thing, very quickly, one more thing. A rop, the organization that published that report that tells you, hey plebs, you're only allowed to buy three socks per year, not two pairs. They. They've also worked on many projects with Palantir.
B
I was just about to ask who's, you know, who's the funding behind this? Who's driving all of this? Palantir, The Bill Gates is of the world. Of course, the. The same names keep coming up. As nefarious as always. Ways Unbelievable. Maria, thank you for this. What's the name of that website for everyone can read it again.
G
Yes, it's the Global Covenant of Mayors.org Mayors Mayors Mayors.
B

G

B

D
Said said yeehaw that Tim Kaine got canceled for that. So I take that back.
B
Yeah, imagine like walking down the street and you know, like you're trying to go to an ice cream shop and like a park bench just like yells at you. Hey fatty, maybe not want to go get your.
C
You used up your credits, you know, Soup for you.
B

C

B
Hey fatty, like, you know, by the way, don't even think about sitting on me. I'm a park bench. Yeah, that's deeply, deeply troubling. This is coming and of course Palantir is behind it. Of course.

Main Theme:
This episode delivers an urgent analysis of escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, with former President Trump issuing stark ultimatums and threats of military action. The discussion explores the potential for a catastrophic regional war, examines U.S. policy toward Cuba, scrutinizes mass migration policies—especially Indian migration to the West— and delves into the rollout of “15-minute cities” as a symbol of creeping social and economic control.
