The Bullet Related Injury Clinic in St. Louis, known as The BRIC, is helping the community heal through acupuncture in the aftermath of the tornado that tore through St. Louis last month. The nonprofit is one of dozens of organizations that lost half of their federal funding just before the storm, but organizers say that isn't stopping them from getting resources to residents who need them.

Is cryptocurrency the future of finance—or the funeral dirge of the U.S. economy?In this explosive episode of The Neoliberal Round, Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie delivers a fiery indictment of the growing crypto craze and the danger it poses to America's most powerful asset: the U.S. dollar. From Donald Trump Jr.'s praise of crypto to the silent shift of BRIC nations away from the dollar, this episode exposes the slow unraveling of economic supremacy in the name of digital freedom.
On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Ben Yelin joins Kevin Kinnally to break down the seismic shifts in federal emergency management, including recent leadership changes at FEMA, the termination of the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, and the ripple effects for local governments. As Maryland counties contend with rising threats — from extreme weather to infrastructure vulnerabilities — federal support remains a critical lifeline. Learn how the loss of BRIC funding disrupts local resilience projects and what it means for shovel-ready stormwater upgrades, flood mitigation, and coastal protections across the state. The conversation also covers MACo's recent advocacy push, where county emergency managers called on Maryland's congressional delegation to protect FEMA's mission and restore critical federal programs. About the GuestBen Yelin, JD, is the Program Director for Public Policy and External Affairs at the University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security, where he consults public and private entities on homeland security, cybersecurity, and emergency management policy. He is also an adjunct faculty member at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, where he teaches courses on electronic surveillance and the Fourth Amendment.

US President Donald Trump has often said that ‘tariff' is his favourite word. Within weeks of taking office, he imposed 25% tariffs on all imports from America's two biggest trading partners, Mexico and Canada, and 10% tariffs on goods from China. Subsequently, he paused the tariffs for 30 days, after Mexico and Canada promised to take certain measures to curb illegal migration and cross-border fentanyl smuggling. Given his repeated statements that he is looking at tariffs as a source of revenue it seems like he is viewing tariffs as a permanent feature rather than as a temporary negotiating tool, as some analysts have suggested. He has also used aggressive rhetoric about imposing 100% tariffs on BRIC+ countries if they tried to create an alternative to the dollar. How do we understand these moves from the Trump administration? Won't they also adversely impact American consumers and businesses? Is the US moving away from a half-century old paradigm of open trade and integrated markets, to one of local production and protected markets? How should the Global South respond to these measures, given the disparity in economic power? Guest: economist C.P. Chandrasekhar, Senior Research Fellow at the Political Economy Research Institute, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, US. Host: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu.

Winter Storm Blair has graced the Midwest with feet of snow. Unusual weather for …….. WINTER! Trump is not only going to claim Greenland, Seize Canada, reclaim the Panama Canal, and rename of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of ‘Murica. Liberals hate it! Trudeau is stepping down in Canada and a Frenchman just might take his place. The Bird flu and HMPV are coming to kill you. South Korean President is holding strong, perhaps an Asian dry run for a future US Op? ISIS is back and its really really scary and we can’t stop it. Be scared. Indonesia becomes another BRIC in the wall, surpassing other nations still waiting. I’m sure their strategic location and oil resources had nothing to do with the decision. Alcohol might kill you, If RFK doesn’t kill you first! All that in more in MMO #152.

HUGE story for us around here, goes back to a scandal when Gina Raimondo was our governor, before her current role at Commerce secretary.

For the podcast's annual end-of-year episode, Scott sat down with co-hosts emeritus Alan Rozenshtein and Quinta Jurecic to talk over listener-submitted topics and object lessons, including:How will the collapse of the Assad regime impact the region? And can the United States help create a secular, democratic Syria?How is the pending TikTok ban even enforceable (if it is)?What national security story from 2024 deserved more attention?Won't the Fifth Circuit's recent Tornado Cash opinion simply lead the Treasury Department to sanction the cryptocurrency Ethereum as a whole?What are the most underrated threats to U.S. national security in the last half of this decade?What will be the Trump administration's first major national security misstep?How worried should the United States be about the BRIC countries' recent discussions of forming their own reserve currency?For object lessons, Trevor recommended insightful indie video games for our three hosts based on their interests: “Bury Me, My Love” for Scott; “We. The Revolution” for Alan; and “Not for Broadcast” for Quinta. Thomas endorsed the podcast and associated media company “Popular Front” on uncovered conflict issues. Keith threw his support behind the podcast “It Did Happen Here” about Portland's anti-racist skinhead movement. Connor recommended the books “The Queen of Cuba,” by Peter Lapp, and “The President's Book of Secrets,” by Lawfare alum David Priess, as well as the docuseries “FBI True.” Keenan followed up with another book recommendation, Daniel Immewahr's “How to Hide an Empire.” And Liz endorsed Gayle Tzemach Lemmon's “Ashley's War,” about women who deployed to Afghanistan as cultural support teams for special operations units.And that's it for 2024!

Les BRICS sont un groupe économique et politique composé de cinq grandes nations : le Brésil, la Russie, l'Inde, la Chine et l'Afrique du Sud. Ce bloc représente une coalition des principales économies émergentes, visant à coopérer sur des enjeux mondiaux et à renforcer leur influence collective. L'acronyme BRICS provient des initiales de ces pays.Le concept des BRICS a été introduit en 2001 par Jim O'Neill, économiste de Goldman Sachs, pour désigner les économies émergentes ayant un fort potentiel de croissance et susceptibles de remodeler l'économie mondiale. Initialement appelé BRIC (sans l'Afrique du Sud), le groupe s'est formellement constitué en 2009 lors d'un sommet inaugural à Ekaterinbourg, en Russie. En 2010, l'Afrique du Sud a rejoint l'alliance, donnant naissance aux BRICS.Les BRICS représentent une part significative de l'économie mondiale :•Population : Ces cinq pays rassemblent environ 40 % de la population mondiale, soit plus de 3 milliards d'habitants.•Économie : En termes de PIB global, les BRICS représentent environ 25 % du PIB mondial, avec une croissance souvent supérieure à celle des pays développés.Ces pays se distinguent par des économies diversifiées : la Chine et l'Inde sont des géants industriels et technologiques, le Brésil et la Russie sont riches en ressources naturelles, et l'Afrique du Sud est une porte d'entrée vers le marché africain.Les BRICS se réunissent régulièrement pour discuter de sujets tels que le commerce, le développement, l'environnement et la gouvernance mondiale. Ils visent à :•Réformer les institutions financières internationales comme le FMI et la Banque mondiale, jugées trop centrées sur les pays développés.•Promouvoir un ordre mondial multipolaire en réduisant la domination des pays occidentaux.Une réalisation notable est la création de la Nouvelle Banque de Développement (NDB) en 2014, destinée à financer des projets d'infrastructure dans les pays membres et au-delà.Malgré leur potentiel, les BRICS font face à des défis tels que des intérêts divergents, des niveaux de développement disparates et des tensions géopolitiques (notamment entre la Chine et l'Inde). Néanmoins, ils restent un acteur clé dans le remodelage de l'économie mondiale, offrant une alternative à l'hégémonie occidentale. Hébergé par Acast.

From the Foreign Office to National Security Adviser to Cabinet Secretary, Mark Sedwill – Lord Sedwill – is the latest guest on Lord Speaker's Corner.‘It comes down in the end to the quality of the individual and then they'll get the best out of the best civil servants.'In this episode, Lord Sedwill shares his perspectives on the relationship between ministers and officials, reforming the Civil Service and what his advice would be for the new Cabinet Secretary.‘There was a period which is now coming towards an end, a decade when the UK became quite introspective'A former diplomat, including Nato representative and UK Ambassador to Afghanistan, Lord Sedwill also shares his perspectives on the UK's changing role internationally, plus its need to actively engage the BRIC countries.‘Diplomacy is not about talking to your friends. Diplomacy is about talking to your adversaries and seeing if you can find a way of dealing with the situation if possible without conflict.'Lord Sedwill also speaks about working in some of most intense regions for the Foreign Office including Egypt and Iraq, where once he was held at gunpoint by a young man as he was trying to gain access to one of Saddam Hussein's palaces as a UN Weapons Inspector. ‘This youngster, he was probably only 16 or 17. He wasn't scared of us, he was scared of getting it wrong and what would happen to him or his family. And I remember having to calm the situation down… I intervened and just used my Arabic and tried to calm the situation down. And that's probably the closest I ever came to being shot directly by someone where there was absolutely no protection.'

These countries are looking to reduce their dependence on the US dollar, which currently dominates global currency exchanges at 58%. With the BRIC nations' growing economic influence, this move could challenge the dollar's position in global trade. Mexico Responds to Trump's Tariff ThreatsMexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum clarified her conversation with Donald Trump after his threats to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada. While Trump claimed Sheinbaum agreed to close Mexico's southern border to migration, Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico will continue its policy of keeping the border open and fostering positive bilateral relations. She also expressed confidence that a tariff war between the two countries would not take place.Brazil's Soybean Crop Expected to Break RecordsAgroconsult, a Brazilian consultancy, has forecasted a record-large soybean crop for the 2023/2024 season, estimating a 172.2 million metric tons (mmt) harvest. This would surpass last year's record of 162.4 mmt by nearly 11%. USDA estimates a slightly smaller crop of 169 mmt, while Brazil's own Conab predicts 166.1 mmt. Brazil's soybean exports are also projected to hit a record 103.4 mmt, driven by favorable growing conditions and strong international demand.US Soybean and Corn Export Sales SoarUS soybean export sales reached a marketing-year high, with 2.5 million metric tons (92 million bushels) sold last week. China remained the largest buyer, reflecting robust demand. Meanwhile, corn sales totaled 1.1 million metric tons (42 million bushels), though they were down 29% from the previous week. Mexico remained the largest buyer for US corn. Wheat sales came in at 366,800 metric tons (13 million bushels), showing a slight decline but still strong on the global stage.US Ethanol Production Hits Record HighUS ethanol production reached a record high last week, with an output of 1.12 million barrels per day. This marked the highest weekly output on record, surpassing the previous peak two weeks ago. Ethanol stocks also increased to 22.87 million barrels, reflecting strong production levels. Meanwhile, implied gasoline demand rose 1% compared to the previous week.Russia Reduces Wheat Export Quota to Combat InflationRussia has cut its wheat export quota for the period from mid-February to June, reducing the limit to 11 million metric tons (mmt) — a 62% decrease from last year. This move is designed to control domestic wheat supply amid bad weather and rising inflation, which is currently at 8.5%

BRIC'ng the World EconomyPanelists - Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com - Chip Nellinger, BlueReefInc.com - Mike Zuzolo, GlobalCommResearch.com ★ Support this podcast ★
A ideia apareceu pela primeira vez em 2001: um estudo realizado pelo economista-chefe da Goldman Sachs juntou em um grupo quatro países emergentes que, somados, chegariam a 14% do PIB mundial em 10 anos – antes do fim do período previsto, chegaram a 20%. Eram eles Brasil, Rússia, Índia e China, que se organizaram em um bloco, cuja primeira conferência viria a ser realizada em 2009. Nascera o Bric, que em 2011 ganharia mais uma letra para representar seu novo membro, África do Sul. Sem pautas e objetivos claros, o grupo tentou ganhar relevância em debates econômicos e de governança global durante mais de uma década. No ano passado, cinco novos países foram incluídos; na cúpula deste ano, mais de 10 nações devem ganhar status de parceiros do bloco. Com o novo desenho, o discurso anti-Ocidente ganhou força no Brics ampliado, sob a liderança de russos e chineses. Entre os interesses das potências ocidentais e orientais, o Brasil tem o desafio de encontrar uma via independente. Para contextualizar o novo Brics dentro do tabuleiro da geopolítica e analisar os passos do Brasil diante das mudanças no grupo, Natuza Nery entrevista Rubens Barbosa, presidente do Instituto de Relações Internacionais e Comércio Exterior (Iricem), que foi embaixador em Londres (1994 a 1999) e em Washington (1999 a 2004).
As the 16th BRICS Summit is currently taking place in Kazan, Russia, some in the West are getting nervous. It is the first summit since the group expanded earlier this year to welcome five new members. What's at the top of the summit's agenda? How will the diverse group achieve unity to deliver concrete results? Is BRICS the anti-West Leviathan it's portrayed to be?
Tout d'abord, d'où vient ce nom étrange… Réponse du quotidien La Croix en France : « l'abréviation "Bric" doit son invention à Jim O'Neill, économiste de la banque d'investissement Goldman Sachs, qui l'utilise pour la première fois en 2001, dans une note. Il prédit alors que le Brésil, la Russie, l'Inde et la Chine, dont les premières lettres forment l'acronyme "Bric", vont jouer un rôle de plus en plus important sur la scène mondiale. Le premier sommet des quatre pays a lieu en 2009 en Russie et le deuxième l'année suivante au Brésil. En 2011, l'Afrique du Sud rejoint l'organisation, qui est alors renommée "Brics" (avec un S pour South Africa) ».Depuis les Brics se sont étoffés… Avec l'arrivée de l'Iran, des Émirats arabes unis, de l'Arabie saoudite, mais aussi de pays africains : Éthiopie et Égypte. Et depuis hier à Kazan en Russie, pas moins de 32 délégations sont présentes pour le sommet annuel des Brics.Poutine pas si isolé que cela…C'est « une victoire diplomatique pour Vladimir Poutine », s'exclame Le Pays au Burkina Faso. « Et ce, au regard du tapage médiatique sur fond de sanctions infligées à son pays par les Occidentaux depuis l'offensive militaire lancée contre l'Ukraine en février 2022, et des efforts que ces derniers ne cessent de déployer depuis lors pour tenter d'isoler Moscou sur la scène internationale. Autant dire que ce sommet ne pouvait pas mieux tomber pour le maître du Kremlin, insiste le quotidien ouagalais (…). D'abord, en montrant à la face du monde que malgré les efforts de ses adversaires occidentaux visant à ternir sa réputation, il est loin d'être le pestiféré dont ils tendent à lui coller l'étiquette. Ensuite, ce sommet est une occasion pour lui de jauger son aura et sa capacité à se sortir de l'isolement tout en renforçant au sein du bloc économique la position de son pays résolument engagé dans la recherche d'un ordre mondial beaucoup plus équilibré ».L'Afrique séduite…Ainsi, hier, relève Le Monde Afrique, « le président sud-africain, Cyril Ramaphosa, (présent à Kazan) a qualifié la Russie d'"allié" et d'"ami précieux" de son pays. (…) "La Russie attache une importance particulière au renforcement des relations avec les pays du continent africain", a déclaré pour sa part Vladimir Poutine ».Et Le Monde Afrique de constater que « banni par les Occidentaux depuis le lancement de son offensive militaire en Ukraine en 2022, le Kremlin peut toujours compter sur le soutien, ou la neutralité, de nombreux États africains ».En effet, pointe le quotidien Aujourd'hui, « vu d'Afrique, les Brics constituent une voie pour s'affirmer : si l'Afrique du Sud, inconditionnelle de la Russie, y est depuis 2010, l'Éthiopie et l'Égypte ont rejoint le cénacle cette année. Sur le continent, de nombreux pays vibrent avec le maitre du Kremlin. C'est le cas des pays du Sahel tels que le Mali, le Burkina Faso et le Niger. Et pas seulement ! »Encore du chemin à faire…Pour Ledjely en Guinée, « la pertinence de la création des Brics est une évidence. (…) Ployant sous le poids d'une gouvernance occidentale qui manque cruellement de cohérence, le monde a plus que jamais besoin d'un tel bloc pour rééquilibrer les choses ». Toutefois, reconnait le site d'information guinéen, « il y a encore du chemin à faire pour espérer voir les Brics incarner un contrepoids à la toute-puissance occidentale. (…) La seule chose dont on est certain, c'est que les Brics, en se réunissant durant ces 72 heures à Kazan, servent, ne serait-ce que de manière circonstancielle, les intérêts stratégiques de la Russie. (…) De fait, affirme également Ledjely, les Russes veulent faire de ce sommet un tremplin pour renforcer du moins symboliquement leur influence et leur statut d'acteur majeur du monde. L'espoir étant de capitaliser une telle image pour attirer davantage de monde dans leur giron. L'appât pourrait particulièrement fonctionner en Afrique, reconnait le site guinéen. En effet, chez nous, on est peut-être un peu vulnérable à ce genre de séduction. Mécontents du rapport que nous avons jusqu'ici entretenu avec les Occidentaux, nous sommes en quête d'une sorte de parrain de substitution. Et à nos yeux, l'urgence est telle qu'on ne se donne pas toujours le temps d'une réflexion lucide. À croire qu'on est incapables d'exister par et pour nous-mêmes. Et bien sûr, conclut Ledjely, réengagée dans une nouvelle bataille avec le camp occidental, une proie aussi facile, (pour la Russie) n'est que pain bénit ».

In this episode of Connecting the Dots, I dive into how U.S. foreign policy impacts major conflicts in Ukraine, China, and the Middle East. Rather than simply telling you what to think, my goal is to provide context and analysis so you can form your own conclusions about these complex issues. We'll look at the roots of the Ukraine conflict, the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, and how these events ripple across Europe. I also examine U.S. military aid to Israel and its implications for the Gaza conflict, touching on questions of international law and diplomacy. Additionally, I explore the effects of significant events, like the deaths of Hassan Nasrallah and Qasem Soleimani, and what they mean for long-term stability in the region. Join me as I connect the dots and invite you to critically assess how U.S. policy shapes the global landscape today. Find me and the show on social media.

Look, when you understand what's happening in Ukraine, when you understand what's happening in China as it relates to the United States trying to start a war with China over Taiwan, when you look at the latest developments the Middle East, you have to ask yourself this. And has President Biden become a victim of his own rhetoric? Has he fallen into his own trap? Let's talk about this, Announcer (00:41): Connecting the dots with Dr. Wilmer Leon, where the analysis of politics, culture, and history converge. Wilmer Leon (00:49): Welcome to the Connecting the Dots podcast with Dr. Wilmer Leon and I am Wilmer Leon. Here's the point. We have a tendency to view current events as though they happen in a vacuum, failing to understand the broader historic context in which they take place. So today, looking at Ukraine, looking at China, looking what's happening in the Middle East, I decided that I would just take a few minutes and just give you some extemporaneous just off the top of the head kind of stuff. No guests on this segment. Y'all are just stuck with me. So let's start here. In his last address to the United Nations as President Joe Biden said, I recognize the challenges from Ukraine and Gaza to Sudan and beyond. War, hunger, terrorism brutality, record displacement of people, a climate crisis, democracy at risk, strains within our societies, the promise of artificial intelligence and its significant risks. The list goes on. (02:00): Well, when you start to unpack that knapsack, when you really pay attention to the list of things, the litany of conflicts and tensions that Joe Biden just articulated, you have to ask yourself this. He mentions Ukraine, who started the conflict in Ukraine? Why did it start? Well, it started in 2014, during the Obama administration went with what was known as the Maidan Coup. The United States went in. In 2014, Victoria Newland led the effort overthrew the democratically elected government of Victor Jankovich, and installed a Nazi based Ukrainian nationalist government led by the current President, Volodymyr Zelensky. It escalated during the Biden administration and it has become a full-blown military conflict that President Biden refuses to settle. In fact, one of the most recent speeches given by Vice President Harris talking about the Ukraine, she said, the Russian proposal is not a peace deal. It is not a settlement. (03:30): She said, it is a surrender. Well, if you look at the data, it is a surrender because the Ukraine has lost, they hardly have any artillery shells left. Just about all of their tanks have been blown to smithereens. The F-16's that they've just received, some of them were blown up before they even made it off the runway. And you have US generals saying that the F sixteens that the United States and NATO sent are no match for the Russian Air Force. Their army is totally depleted. They've had to go to their prisons, empty their prisons, and send prisoners to the front. They have what are called press gangs that are scouring the Ukrainian countryside kidnapping men of age, sending them to the front. (04:35): It's over, it's over. The fat lady just ain't sung yet. That's really what you're looking at in Ukraine. It's over, but they just haven't blown the whistle. So yeah, it's going to be a surrender. You might as well, you might as well fire up the USS Missouri resurrect Emperor Hirohito from World War II and have Ukraine surrender the same way Japan had to because that's the way this has gone. September 26th, 2022, a series of underwater explosions and consequent gas leaks occurred on three or four pipelines of the Nord Stream pipeline in the Baltic Sea. This occurred during and based upon the Sy Hersh reporting tells us that this was conducted during the Biden administration. The Biden administration blew up three of the four pipelines of the Nord Stream pipeline, which provided natural gas from Russia to Germany and Germany was the distribution point for low cost natural gas throughout Europe. (05:59): And since 2022, what has happened to the economy of Germany and what has happened to other economies of European countries? They've been decimated because they now are forced to buy natural gas from the United States because the United States blew up their pipeline cutting off their access to Russian natural gas. Why? Because if you remember, when the Ukraine conflict started, president Biden told us what we're going to turn the rubble into rubble. Y'all remember that We're going to turn the ruble into rubble. Has that happened? Not at all. In fact, the rubble, the rubble, the ruble, which is the currency in Russia, is now one of the most stable currencies in the world. The Russian economy is in the top five economies in the world. Why? Because the United States was not able to bring about regime change in Russia through the Ukraine conflict. The United States was not able through its sanctions regime to bring about crippling sanctions on the Russian economy. (07:18): They have been able to find workarounds, and they have been able to continue to engage in international business all around the world. Look at the BRIC's meeting that's about to take place in Russia. You've got China. Well, the BRIC's, the acronym for what? For Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. And now you have a number of other countries that are joining this economic cooperative, and they are finding workarounds around the sanctions that the United States is imposing on all of these countries. In terms of Gaza, who's funding the genocide in Gaza, the Biden administration, of course, president Biden in May of 2024 said, he said what he would halt some of the shipments of American weapons to Israel, which he acknowledged had been used to kill civilians in Gaza. If Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a major invasion in the city of Rafa, well, Netanyahu did it. Biden did not honor his word. He still sent those weapons to Israel. And what do we find now? (08:47): $8.7 billion on their way of weapons and military aid are now on their way to Israel. Citizens have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of the bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers. Biden said this on CNN to Aaron Burnett back in May of 2024, civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they Israel go after population centers. He said that to CNN, and he still sends weapons to Gaza. He said, I made it clear that if they go into Rafa, and they haven't gone into Rafa yet, if they go into Rafa, this was May of 2024. I'm not supplying the weapons. They've been used historically to deal with Rafa to deal with the cities that deal with that problem. Where are we now? Four months later, Israel said in September, it had secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the United States to support its ongoing military efforts and to maintain a qualitative military edge in the region. (10:20): Folks for the United States to send military weapons into Israel violates international law. It violates American law. It violates the Arms Export Control Act. It violates American law for the United States government to send weapons to countries that are in the midst of oppressing their own people. Look up the arms. Export Control Act. $8.7 billion of your hard earned tax dollars are being sent to Israel to support genocide. This package includes three and a half billion dollars for essential wartime procurement, what they call essential wartime procurement, which has already been received and earmarked for critical military purchases. What does that mean? Well, in common parlance, we'd call that a money laundering scheme. So the United States sends $8.7 billion or earmarks or tags or identifies $8.7 billion for Israel for military weaponry. And what then happens? Well, that money goes to Lockheed Martin, that money goes to Boeing, that money goes to Raytheon. (11:52): That money goes to what Dwight Eisenhower told us in his 1959 farewell address to the American people, the military industrial complex. So the United States Funds genocide is backing the extermination, the elimination, the removal of innocent Palestinian people while American arms manufacturers make billions and billions of dollars. Oh, and by the bye, president Biden also said he's sending another $8 billion to Ukraine. So that's 8 billion to Ukraine. That's 8.7 to Israel. That's $16.7 billion, and they're sending almost 600 million to Taiwan. That's $17 billion in just one month that the United States is sending for militarism and the United States isn't being attacked. We're not under threat. (13:17): 8 billion to Ukraine. Ukraine is the proxy of the United States. The Ukraine is the proxy of NATO. Volodymyr Zelinsky, the president of Ukraine, he tried to negotiate a settlement with Vladimir Putin in April of 2022, right after two months after the damn thing started. And right as they were reaching an agreement, the United States had the former British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, go to Ukraine and tell Zelensky, under no circumstances is the West going to accept a peace deal with Russia. Go figure. And now Kamala Harris says, oh, we won't tolerate this proposed peace plan because the peace plan is surrender. You had the opportunity in 2022 to bring a peaceful resolution to the conflict that you started, but you ignored it. You ignored it. Your hubris got in the way. Your ego got in the way. You were blinded by your ego to the realities that were right before you on the ground, and you ignored the opportunity. And now what has Russia done? They just keep saying, y'all want to drag this out? We'll keep fighting. When we keep fighting, we keep taking territory, and when we take territory, we don't give it back. (15:08): So yeah, it's going to be surrender. It's going to be surrender. The question simply becomes, how much of an ass whooping do you want to take? So now back to the Middle East. According to Middle East Eye on September 27th, Israeli fighters, they carried out a series of massive airstrikes on Beirut southern suburbs in what appeared to be the most intense bombardment of the Lebanese capitol. Since the 2006 war, at least 10 explosions rocked the capitol's southern suburbs, a densely populated area, colloquially known as Dahiyeh, with large clouds of blacksmith rising over the city. The result of that attack, Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nala, was assassinated. (16:08): Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was assassinated by the way, in violation of international law. Aaron Mate wrote one week after Israel began its US back campaign in a rampage in Gaza last October, Biden was asked by CBS news if fueling a Middle East conflict on top of the proxy war in Ukraine was more than the United States could take on at the same time. Basically, Hey, you're fighting wars on multiple fronts, and anybody that understands military history will tell you the more fronts you open up. This is my commentary, not mate, the more fronts you open up, the bigger problems you're going to have. What was Biden's answer to that question about is the United States taking on more than it can manage at the same time? No, Biden said, and he was incredibly indignant when he said it, we're the United States of America, for God's sake, the most powerful nation in the history, not in the world, in the history of the world. Not only does the US have the capacity to do this, Biden said, we have an obligation. We are the essential nation. And if we don't, who does? (17:38): Joe, you're reading your own press clippings, Joe, you're caught up in your own rhetoric, Joe. You've fallen victim of your own trap. It had overlooked comment. Biden gave his blessing not only to an Israel scorched earth campaign in Gaza, but Lebanon as well for Israel. Biden said, going in and taking out the extremists in Hezbollah up north along with Hamas down south is a necessary requirement. But what you got to understand, when you look at Hamas in the South, when you look at Hezbollah in the North, when you look at Ansar, Allah in Yemen, when you look at Iran, these are the forces of resistance. (18:43): They are resisting the occupation of historic Palestine. This isn't anti-Semitic rhetoric, it's fact. There's a reason why that area is referred to as the occupied territories. They don't use that language a lot in today's parlance because the West has now clearly come to understand that that narrative, that language contradicts the narrative that they're trying to present. But there's a reason why in the international criminal court, in the international Court of justice, in all kind of parliaments, in all kind of countries all over the world, they're referred to as the occupied territories. Who is the occupier? The Zionist government of Israel? Who is the occupied the Palestinians international law tells us? So when Vice President Harris steps to the podium at the DNC convention and says, Israel has the right to defend itself, nay, that's not true. When Joe Biden steps to the podium and says, at the un, Israel has the right to defend itself. That's not true. When Netanyahu steps to the podium and says, Israel has the right to defend itself, that's not true because international law is very clear. The UN is very clear. (20:53): The occupier, in this case, the Zionist government of Israel, does not have the right to defend itself against the interaction or the response by the occupied. In this instance, the Palestinians international law is, here's a very simple analogy. I can't walk into your house armed or unarmed, but I can't walk into your house armed, threaten you and your family, have you resist my aggression? And then I claim self-defense. I can't do it. It won't pass the laugh test. It won't pass the giggle test. It won't pass the smell test. I can't do that. I cannot walk into your home, take over your home, have you resist my aggression, shoot you in the process, and then claim I was defending myself. It's the same thing that's going on right now in the occupied territories. (22:25): So this isn't me being pouring haterade on Vice President Harris or Joe Biden. No, this is just the facts. So getting back to the recent assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces, they reportedly used 2000 pound bunker busting bombs supplied by the United States in the attack that in the assassination of Hassan Raah, they leveled several apartment buildings. They killed dozens of people. I mean scores with others still being believed, trapped in a rubble, which means you're going to have, they leveled a whole damn neighborhood. They leveled a neighborhood to kill one guy. (23:27): And here is an incredibly interesting revelation to all of this. The Lebanese foreign minister now says that Hassanah Raah agreed to a ceasefire, a 21 day ceasefire right before the IDF assassinated him. Abdullah Habib, the Lebanese foreign minister says, Naah agreed to the US and French proposal for a 21 day ceasefire. He said that to on CNN to Christian Yama aur. They told us that Mr. Netanyahu agreed to this. And so we also got the agreement of Hezbollah on that. And you know what happened after that? They assassinated the man. So let's trace this back. If the reporting is true, and I believe that it is Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah was ready to accept the proposed ceasefire, which by the way, the US via Vice President Kamala Harris and a number of others, president Biden claim that they're desperately working on a ceasefire. You've heard him say this, we are desperately working on a ceasefire. We are desperately working on a ceasefire. We're doing everything in our power to come up with a ceasefire. So the US and France propose to Hezbollah a 21 day ceasefire. (25:38): Nasra says, okay, not only will there be a ceasefire in Lebanon, as in between Lebanon and the Zionist colony of it, settler colony of Israel, that ceasefire also has to apply to Gaza as well. There will be a cessation of violence across the landscape because after all, why is Hezbollah fighting the IDF in defense of Hamas, in defense of the Palestinians? Why is Ansara Allah in Yemen sending missiles into Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel? Why is Ansara Allah, why have they shut down the Red Sea and not allowing Israeli flagged or ships that are delivering goods or receiving goods from Israel from the Zionist colony to transit the Red Sea in support of the Palestinians? So you can't have a ceasefire with Lebanon and not with Palestine. That wouldn't make any sense. (27:07): So the story is Hassan Nasrallah was told Netanyahu has agreed the United States and France, everybody's in sync. We can now work towards the ceasefire 21 day ceasefire. And what happens? They assassinate it. And this is what Netanyahu said at the un, his words last week, knowing he said this, knowing that they were going to assassinate the man to speak for my country to speak for the truth. And here's the truth. Israel seeks peace. Israel yearns for peace. Israel has made peace and will make peace again. Yet we face savage enemies who seek our annihilation, and we must defend ourselves against them. (28:17): That's what he said last week at the un. Israel seeks peace. Israel yearns for peace. If that is true, then why did you assassinate the guy you were negotiating with for peace after you had received the message that he agreed to your proposal? Yet we face savage enemies. So you are negotiating for a peace deal. You're on the verge of accomplishing a ceasefire, which can then get you to a peace deal, and you assassinate the guy you're negotiating with, who's the savage Bebe, you or them, and you claim that these savages seek your annihilation. Oh, show me evidence where they have been the aggressor. And please don't give me this noxious BS about October 7th because this conflict did not start on the 7th of October of 2023. That's just revisionist history. This conflict started damn near 80 years ago. October 7th was just the latest iteration of the Palestinians saying enough. October 7th was just the latest iteration of the Palestinians defending themselves. (30:22): And I go back to international law. The oppressed have the right to resist oppression and the oppressor through any means at their disposal. So please, Kamala Harris, don't tell me that this started October 7th. Please, governor Waltz, don't say at the vice presidential debate that this started on October 7th. Spare me of that bs. Spare me of that revisionist history because you're lying. And I say you're lying because you're wrong. You know you're wrong, and you are intentionally perpetrating a lie. So I ask Netanyahu again, who, by the way, his real name, his family name, his grandfather's name before his grandfather immigrated from Poland to Palestine was Milikowsky His family name is not Netanyahu. The family name is Milikowski. (31:40): They're Polish. They're European. They're not Arab. Remember, Jesus was a Palestinian Jew with skin of burnt bronze and hair of lambs wool, kind of like this. They weren't Polish, they weren't French, they weren't Russian. They're Palestinian. That's why it's called the occupied territory. Again, I digress. Nasrallah was ready to accept the proposed ceasefire and the US and Israel assassinated him. Go back to this past July. Hamas' top political leader, Ishmael Heah, was assassinated in Tehran. He was attending the installation of the Iranian president who was Ishmael Haniyeh. He was not a terrorist. He was not a military leader. He was the head of the political wing of Hamas. Understand Hamas has basically two factions. They have a military faction and they have a political faction. They started as a political group, but only when they were compelled to develop a military response to the genocide and oppression that the Zionist government of Israel was imposing upon them in the West Bank. And in that concentration camp called Gaza, did they develop a military response. But Ishmael was not part of the, he was a negotiator. (33:43): He was in the process of negotiating a ceasefire slash peace deal with Israel and the United States. And what did they do? Assassinated him. They assassinated the man. But Netanyahu stands before the world at the United Nations and says, he's speaking for truth. Israel seeks peace. Israel yearns for peace. That's what he said. Who's the savage? Joe Biden, who's the savage? BB Netanyahu. BB Milowski. Nasrallah was ready to accept a ceasefire. You assassinated him. Haniyeh was negotiating a ceasefire. You assassinated him. Let's switch gears. January 3rd, 2020. Remember General Soleimani, Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian major general who was assassinated by an American drone strike near Baghdad international airport in Iraq. Donald Trump pushed the button on Soleimani. (35:14): Why was Qassem Soleimani in Iraq? He had been lured there under the false pretense of a peace negotiation. The Saudis trying to make peace with the Iranians. You've got Sunni Muslims in Saudi Arabia. You've got Shia Muslims in Iran trying to find peace between the two. He General Soleimani was brought to Iraq under the pretext of bringing letters of negotiation between the two governments. False pretense. It was a lie. He was there on a peace mission and was assassinated. I'm connecting some dots here, folks. Are you starting to see the picture? I'm connecting some dots here, folks. Are you starting to see the picture? (36:39): Why is this going on? Oh, by the way, so Soleimani goes to Iraq. They assassinate him under the pretense of a peace deal. China steps in. And what does China do? China brokers a peace deal between who? The Saudis and Iran. So months later, the deal does get done. Even though Soleimani was assassinated, Donald Trump pushed the button on him at the behest of the Zionist government of Israel. But Netanyahu Millikowski wants to stand before you stand before the world and say, Israel yearns for peace, but these savages seek our annihilation. I ask again, Bebe, who's the savage? Joe Biden, who's the savage? Y'all tell me. (37:55): So what do we have? Well, at least in terms of the Middle East, we have Iran responds to the assassination of Haniyeh and a number of other incursions aggressions that they have been incredibly measured and incredibly calculating. And so they send some missiles into Israel, but they were very, very careful. They selected military targets, and most of the military targets that they selected were the targets that were either a, well, primarily, I won't even go to a, and let me just say they were responsible for the assassination of keeping these names in my head is a bit challenging of Hassan Nasrallah. So they decimated some F-35's at an Air Force base in near Tel Aviv. (39:23): They didn't strike any civilian centers, even though Israel has strategically placed a lot of its military, its intelligence operations and whatnot in densely populated civilian spaces. See, they're not like Israel. Israel blows up a whole damn neighborhood with 2000 pound bunker busting bombs. Israel didn't do that. They could have done that. They didn't. And they were very clear in explaining why, because they said, we aren't going to attack civilians. Also, the Holy Quran guides them in their tactics for war. They are guided as Muslims. They are guided by the Quran in terms of what is allowable in war and what is not. That is why, for example, they haven't developed a nuclear program because in their mind, by their belief, too many innocent people will be affected by the action. And when they get into a it kind of eye for an eye kind of deal, when they get into a conflict, they deal with those involved in the conflict. They don't have this idea of collateral damage. They don't sit back and calculate, well, our enemy is here, our target is here, and there are so many civilians in on the periphery, and we have an acceptable number of those that we can exterminate and still call it fair. They don't operate like that. (41:22): Their guide, the Holy Quran dictates how conflict will be managed. So that's why, for example, they sent a message to Iran and said, we are about to strike. They let 'em know they didn't have to do that. They let 'em know. See, people are making a huge mistake by confusing restraint with fear, whether it's Russia, whether it's China, whether it is Iran, because they have been so measured in their responses. They haven't just gone all out blast because that's not their tactic, that's not their way. They have a different understanding of time and what Dr. King called the moral arc of history, because their cultures are thousands of years old, unlike the United States. That's the new kid on the block. (42:30): So they have a totally different concept of time. So the adage, you have the watches, but we have the time. So they're not going to be baited into a knee jerk reaction to an attack. They're going to sit back, step back, evaluate the landscape, and then they retaliate on their terms, on their timeline through their methods. And that's why, for example, when I think it was when Hania was assassinated, the United States went to Iran and said, don't retaliate, don't respond. And Iran told Joe Biden, no, no, no, no, no, no, Joe, we got to respond to this. But understand, here's what we will do. And this is what they said. Here's what we will do. We will strike military targets. We won't strike civilian targets. And the military targets that we select will be those targets that we're responsible for engaging and planning the action that we are responding to. And here's the key that you all need to understand. They also said, Joe, once we respond, we will consider the matter settled. (44:04): Once we respond, once we retaliate, we will consider the matter settled unless you or them engage in further action. If you do that, then we are going to have to handle that business. We're going to have to do what we got to do. So they are, and I'm I'm speaking about the resistance in general. They are incredibly measured because not only do they have tactics, they have strategy. See what you see playing out from the Israeli side. There's no strategy here. There's no strategy, there's no plan. There's no long-term methodological. I think that's proper pronunciation plan. (45:08): They're just out there shooting first and asking questions later. They have tactics, but no strategy. So that takes you to the adage, if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there. I mean, they know Annihilation, they know genocide is what they're after. But in terms of a planned, calculated strategy doesn't exist. That's why it's so hard for people to make sense out of what's happening. People keep going, what the hell are they doing? Why are they doing this? You don't know. They don't know. You don't know. They don't know. So look, that's kind of where we are now. (46:11): Israel is talking about, oh, the response is going to be horrific. Oh, the response is we are going to have a ground invasion into Lebanon. Well, they tried that and they're getting their butts kicked. They got their butts kicked. Israel got their butts kicked the last time they tried it in 2006. Israel tried to go into Lebanon in 2006, got their asses handed to 'em, and Hezbollah has only gotten stronger and smarter and even more determined if that is possible. I remember when George W. was getting ready to go into Iraq and Minister Farrakhan, and I guess I'll end with this. And Minister Farrakhan was trying to convince America that this was going to be a fool's errand. In fact, he called it the precipitant of greater tragedies to come. And one thing that he said to George W. in an open speech and letter, he said, you can't win this with your technology. (47:45): He said, the first week you got this, he says, your technology and your missiles. He said, the first week you got it, he said, but eventually you're going to have to bring your soldiers in here. And when you do that, they got something for you. He said, because you've never fought a soldier with the heart of a Muslim. He said, you're fighting God in a man. And so when you look at what the resistance is all about, when you look at what Hamas is all about, when you look at what Hezbollah is all about, when you look at what Ansar Allah is all about, do you know what anah means? (48:45): Servants of God. Would did Minister Farrakhan say you're fighting God in a man? That's not rhetoric. That's not rhetoric. My very rough limited understanding Ansar Allah means, and these are the folks in Yemen. You all know him as the Houthis servants of God. And where did that come from? When the prophet Muhammad may peace be upon him was in that region in what is now Yemen. There were a group of people that assisted him and protected him during his travels in, what were they called? Ansar Allah. So they have a history, long history of being anah servants of God. So when you have a people that have taken on that identity, this is who we are, this is what we do, you put them up against a group of 18, 19, 20-year-old Israelis that have been conscripted into military service because they are obligated by law to serve three or four years in the military. And so really all they're trying to do is get the hell out of town alive so that they can check that mark off of the list and say, okay, I did what I was supposed to do. I served my country. You put them kids up against these folks. (50:42): Sad day in Mudville, boys and girls. So I can tell you, when Casey came to bat, it was a sad day in Mudville. So hey folks, look, I thank you all for listening to my rant. Take some time, research what I've said, because what you'll find, I'm telling you all the truth.

My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we are going to be diving deep into some really serious catastrophic situations that have occurred over the past couple of weeks here. The first one being the terrible and horrific Hurricane Helene that has hit several states and just decimated, absolutely decimated the communities there. It's horrible. It's terrible to see. There's All of these videos of people that are stranded on top of buildings. There's firefighters telling people not to go rescue them because it's too dangerous. It is horrible. On top of that, there's also some speculation and skepticism similar to what there was in Lahaina where people don't believe that this hurricane Was as natural as it appeared not the production of it But the path of it and you might be thinking well, that's crazy We can't move hurricanes and what I would say to that is listen to the full episode because maybe you'll change your mind The second thing that we're going to discuss is going to be will briefly touch on the vice presidential debate. That was just a Eight hours ago now. We will talk about that, some of the key moments. We won't take too much time on that, but I did wanna just highlight a couple things. And that will be at the end actually, I believe so. Other than that, we will also talk about the seaport strike that is going on, which could heavily affect the United States production and ability to provide food. to provide gas to provide everything and anything that you purchase comes through one of these seaports. Now, these workers are on strike for several reasons, mostly contract negotiations, but also they are hesitant or frustrated that the opportunity of the organization that they're working for utilizing automation. I have my own opinions about it. I do see their point, but we'll talk about it. And we'll also talk about what this could possibly do to you and your family and maybe what you can do to get prepared. Then we will talk about Iran striking Israel in a act of what could turn into a very high escalating, , tensions between several countries, including the United States, potentially getting involved as we have had several officials say that we will. Retaliate on their behalf, which is terrifying. Alright, all of that and more, but first, go ahead and hit the subscribe button. Leave a five star review.

So if you've seen it before, go see it again, cause it's way better. , so go check it out. Appreciate you. Love you. Without further ado, let's jump into it. All right. So the very first thing that we're going to talk about today is going to be the horrific hurricane that happened in North Carolina, Tennessee. It is spread across several states, which seems a little unnatural to me. I don't know when the last time there was a hurricane in Tennessee. Can you remember that? I don't know. Maybe we should ask chat GPT, our knowledge overlord, what's going on there. So we'll go ahead and take a look at this. There's a tweet that I think really captured all of the damage. So if you're watching here on YouTube, you can actually take a look with me. And if you're not, I will talk you through it. So there is some horrific situations going on and this captures. It in detail. It's just a minute long. So if you're listening stay with me here, but obviously what this says, I don't know why that's obvious if you're not looking at it The hurricane helene death toll has risen to over a hundred and thirty survivors Has the death toll has risen to over 130 as survivors. That makes more sense in Western North Carolina. Describe seeing bodies stuck in trees. Locals are describing the pop apocalyptic scenes on the ground. As the official death toll continues to climb, there were bodies in the trees. They are finding bodies under the rubble. Said local woman, Alyssa Hudson, according to the New York post. Hudson explained how she made it out of her house before it collapsed. Her friends in downtown Black Mountain describe seeing bodies floating in ditches and residents fighting against the rising tide. We were a mountain town, but now we look like a farm town. It's all destroyed. A lot of people won't be back. The total damage from Hurricane Helene is currently projected to be about $34 billion according to Fox. The following footage was shared by Severe Forecast at Biltmore Village not far from Black Mountain. And here is that video. Make sure I don't blast you with hurricane sounds. So there's cars just stuck up in trees. Restaurants decimated. One thing that I had seen when I was watching some of these horrible videos was that there was towns that were almost completely under rubble. Almost completely under these landslides that just went above the highest building. And where there used to be a town, there's literally nothing. Nothing. Now could you imagine if this is your city? If your family member is there? How terrifying. And they're, and they don't have cell phone service. You can't reach them. You can't know that they're okay. Now, this isn't the worst of it. I've seen some re some terrible videos. And guess what? In these videos, there's nobody from the government scene. Nobody, not a single person. The national guard. Isn't there helping people? Guess where they are? They're like overseas right now. The National Guard, the same people that are supposed to be here helping our citizens are not here. They're in other places across the world helping other people. Now speaking of that, one thing that's been frustrating, and I'm sure you can dive into the damage of this Hurricane Helene, and my heart goes out to all of these families. I can't imagine. Even just losing your town, your house, your history of your family, let alone the amount of people that we're going to find out that are dead as a result of this. It's terrible. Now there's a few political plays going on here, which again, is disgusting shouldn't be about that. It should be about helping these citizens. And one thing that happened was that Kamala Harris was as she's always been. Kamala Harris was dead silent about the hurricane, dead silent about the families that were stranded on top of these buildings, dead silent about the damage that occurred. Then, they had the nerve, yesterday, to come onto the TV, during an interview, at the White House, and tell the citizens that they were going, they're going to give the citizens that 1. 3 million dollars, total, combined. For Now, one of the journalists in the audience goes, Billion or million? And he says, no, no million. 1. 7. I think it even might be 1. 3. 1. 7 million dollars. Let's be generous here. And just say that it's 1. 7. That's two houses that got taken out. They're claiming they're going to use this for 750 dollars to the citizens that are affected. How far does 750 dollars get you in Kamala's mind? economy. How far? Maybe a tank of gas and a week's worth of food. Now, one thing they don't seem to consider because they're saying that it's going to be a direct deposit is that the people that are highly affected by this don't even have access to their bank, don't have access to a grocery store around them, don't have access to even get gas. There's reports that came in that there was a gas station, one gas station that was in this mountain town where everybody was trying to get out of. And it was empty within hours of people showing up there and now everybody else is stranded. I cannot believe the response to this 1. 7 million, 750. If you got affected by this in the same week that we gave Ukraine 8 billion, Kamala and Joe Biden have now said, they're going to give the citizens of Ukraine. That are affected by the hurricane 1. 7 million 1. 7 million how disgusting of a response. Don't even say that don't even mention the 1. 7 million dollars. It's a slap in the face to everybody that has been affected by this atrocity. And then speaking about that Kamala three to four days after three to four days after the hurricane posted a photo about a briefing about Hurricane Helene. And one thing that was noticed about this photo. Is that she's claiming that she's on her airplane. I was just briefed at FEMA by FEMA, Deanne Criswell on the latest developments about the ongoing impacts of hurricane Helene. We all discussed our administration's continued actions to support emergency response and recovery. I also spoke With North Carolina Governor Cooper about the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in North Carolina, our administration will continue to stay in constant contact with state and local officials to ensure communities have the support and resources they need. Doug and my thoughts are with all those who lost loved ones and those whose homes, businesses, and communities were damaged or destroyed during this disaster. Now, one thing that you'll notice about this photo, there's a few things going on here. One, she's writing on a piece of paper, a piece of paper that appears to be empty, appears to be an empty piece of paper. Yeah, looks pretty empty to me. Number two, she's wearing headphones. She's wearing headphones that are not plugged in. Now, Donald Trump loved pointing this out, where he said, Another fake and staged photo from someone who has no clue what she is doing. You have to plug the cord into the phone for it to work. Biden and Harris abandoned Americans in Afghanistan. They sacrificed Americans to an open border, and now they have left Americans to drown in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and elsewhere in the South. Under this administration, Americans always come last because we have leaders who have no idea how to lead. Now, when you went and saw the news articles about this, they were criticizing Trump for making this accusation. Not criticizing Kamala for faking her image, for faking caring about these families, but they're criticizing Trump, of course, for even having the audacity to accuse her of this. Let's see if I can find that video of the white house saying they're going to give 1. 3 million. Let's see if I'm right on 7, because I'm interested to families affected. This was like late yesterday, the 1st of October. Let's see. Statement from Harris news briefing as Biden responds. Let's see. All right. And here it is. Let me go ahead and pull this up for you. Took a second to find that. Right here is the White House briefing. And the reporter asks this question here. And this is where the 1. 7 million comes from. Hopefully you anticipate getting to some of those areas that have been cut off. Oh, not to that. Here we go. Not just by land, but by air as well. And how quickly do you anticipate getting to some of those areas that have been cut off because of the roads being cut off? As quickly as we can. No answer. Go ahead, Jeff. Thank you, Karine. Mr. Secretary, do you have a sense of how much money it's going to cost, A, to do this relief effort And B, to do the rebuild effort once we get there and how much of that will be covered by insurance companies and how much will be covered by the government. So this is a multi billion dollar undertaking. In terms of the search and rescue and the response, I should note that we already Approximately 1. 7 million in individual assistance that individuals million that individuals will be able to access. I believe it'll be as early as tomorrow. It is a direct deposit into their accounts, but the rebuilding Did you catch that 1. 7 million to these people and they've the journalists. These paid journalists who are shills for the government thought that was so ridiculous, they didn't even register it. And one person goes billion, right? Billion? You're giving 1. 7 billion to those affected by Helene. And he goes no. Million. What the fuck are they gonna do with $1.7 million? Let's say there's a hundred thousand families that are affected, and that's very low. There's so many people that are affected by this. Let's probably a million, right? You're gonna give 'em $1.30, $1.70 a dollar in 7 cents, 70 cents, $1.7 million to those affected, and they'll have it in their accounts deposited as soon as possible. As soon as possibly tomorrow they'll get a $2. What is a million dollars going to do for all of these people affected? And again, the same week that we gave Ukraine 8 billion, the same week, 7 billion to Israel, the same exact week, this man walks up onto that stage and says, don't worry, guys, we're giving our citizens 1. 3 million. That's going to get, what is everybody going to do? They're going to go to the corner store, walk up to the corner store and get themselves a Gatorade. Hey guys, a refreshment on us. Thanks. What a slap in the face. Just don't even mention that. Don't mention that figure. 1. 7 million to hundreds of thousands, millions of citizens that have been, had their families decimated. They've lost all of their livestock. Their family members have been killed. And you're going to give them 1. 7 million collectively to help out. Do you want to know who's given more money to this? Their own citizens of the United States. There is a GoFundMe that was started. And I just let's watch this one more time. So you can hear just how ridiculous this is. And I want to see what the response is of the journalists. Cause they should probably call him out on that, right? You would assume. Note that we already have approved approximately 1. 7 million dollars in individual assistance that individuals million that individuals will be able to access. I believe it'll be as early as tomorrow. It is a direct deposit into their accounts. But the Rebuilding is something that is not for today, but that is going to be extraordinarily costly and it's going to be a multi year enterprise. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Secretary. Two questions. First, about the President's decision to go to Raleigh. Can you give us a little bit of a breakdown as to why he's going to that location, and what he will see, and whether or not he'll be able to see any of the Alright, so literally no response by these propagandists in the audience. Not even Peter Doocy said something about this. Maybe he was the one that said billion. Crazy, literally makes no sense. So 1. 7 million from our own government to these affected citizens from Hurricane Helene. Donald Trump posted this GoFundMe, and there's 3. 7 million, more than doubling the amount that the government's giving out. 3. 7 million by the citizens of the United States that are giving their own money. And people here, like Stephen Wyckoff, I believe he's a former senator. I saw that one, one former senator had Donated about five hundred thousand dollars. So that may be who that was. Let's okay. So Senator Kelly Lafleur, not sure who this Stephen Wittkoff is, but that's very nice Dana White has given a hundred thousand dollars William Ackman a hundred thousand dollars Bass Pro Shops a hundred thousand dollars Dan Newlin a hundred thousand dollars Christopher Drummond You 25, 000. Kid Rock, 25, 000. That is amazing. And here our government is sending billions to Ukraine and wants to send 1. 7 million. I cannot stress how frustrating that is enough. 1. 7 million to those affected, those decimated, those family members that were killed. Kamala's on a frickin airplane with airpods that aren't plugged in taking a propaganda photo to send it out. Donald Trump posted a GoFundMe and gets more than double what the entire government is collectively giving those citizens. . 1.7 million dollars. That's how much they care about you. I wonder why they're giving 8 billion the same week that they're giving American citizens 1. 7 million. I wonder why. Maybe it's because the citizens that they're going to give that money to aren't going to funnel it back to them. Aren't funding their campaigns. They don't care about the voters. They do not care about the voters. They do not care about the American public. They care about being elected and more power, which is why they'll send 8 billion to Ukraine the same week that they spend 1. 7 million to our citizens that were obliterated in a hurricane. But thank God, there's people out there donating to this. So I highly recommend it. It is GoFundMe. com slash support dash hurricane dash Helene dash victims slash GoFundMe. Dash with dash president dash 3. 7 million. Incredible. Now there's some speculation here, some speculation around the idea that maybe, just maybe this hurricane wasn't as natural as it seemed, as it appeared. There's some speculation that maybe, just maybe, just like there was in Lahaina, there's some questions around why. Why this targeted this specific area the way that it did let's say targeted let's use that word loosely in terms of a natural disaster But if this is true targeted is the right word the idea Comes from the fact that some of the towns that were the most decimated in these cities that were affected by this hurricane are also under contract with Blackrock and Vanguard For lithium mining, liquid gold, the thing that is the next great endeavor for our humanity, the most valuable substance today, when it comes to things like electric vehicles, when it comes to things like AI, these small towns were fighting back against this contract proposed to sell their land for lithium, right? Go back to Lahaina, right? Go back to Lahaina. He had all these front beachfront properties. That we're trying to get pushed out by big money from black rock, big money from Vanguard. And they didn't want to sell. That was their property. That was their family's property. That's where their grandparents lived. They're not moving right. Cue the Wolf of wall street. I ain't leaving. Then it just so happens within the year before they're supposed to start this lithium mining while also the citizens aren't selling their property. The entire town gets obliterated by Hurricane Helene. You might say, that's a coincidence, Austin. Stop looking for strings where there are none. Tying these two things together. And I would say, I believe you. I agree with you. Until I saw some of these videos and some of the evidence surrounding how they have, since 1947, we have been able to steer hurricanes. This is a technology that has existed for almost a hundred years. We're going to watch a video that explains all of that. But I would just say to you, how many things have we been right about? How many things? Now, it doesn't mean we're going to be right about everything. And it doesn't mean that we shouldn't have skepticism around all of these claims. But when there's evidence, very specific evidence, just like they tried to gaslight you and tell you that the the weapons that they used those laser based weapons, right? The direct energy weapons aren't real. And then I sat here in front of you and showed you video after video of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon boasting about this technology. Then I show you video after video about how they can start fires with that technology, videos after videos of all they need to do is put a really high altitude airplane over top of this location and boom, billions of dollars. How much is a life worth to these companies? How much is a life worth? How much, how far would they be willing to go? What's the price tag per head that they're willing to kill or have die in a natural disaster so that they can make their profits? What's the price tag? Do you think it's 20 grand? Probably not a 10 grand, five grand. There's gotta be a calculation just like there is in the auto industry, right? If the amount of fatalities. And the cost for the litigation does not exceed a certain amount per car. They don't update the vehicles. They don't do a recall. If they calculate go back and watch fight club. It's a great scene about this. If they calculate that the amount of litigation that's going to come as the result of not recalling it exceeds the cost. of doing the recall itself, then they will recall it. Now reverse that. If the amount of damage, the amount of costs, that's going to be the result of a natural disaster like this, If the amount of profit exceeds what the cost would be in terms of loss of public trust, in terms of how much they have to pay for Facebook and Instagram and YouTube to censor these topics, like they did with direct energy weapons. If the amount of that does not, the cost does not exceed the profit. They will move forward. They do not care. It isn't a LLC. It is an entity. It is a corporation, which does not have a moral compass. The only compass it has is how do we continue to have growth year after year regardless of how much Destruction we leave in our wake. They do not care They want to sit in their high towers the top of the castle while the peasants are at the bottom drowning in the water that they brought there So let's watch this video and see if with you think or at least have any idea The eyebrow raises that I do. This comes from Greg Reese. We have had the technology to create control and steer hurricanes for decades. Project Cirrus is the first official attempt to modify a hurricane. It was run by General Electric with the support of the U S military. The official theory. Project Syrus, C Y R U S, 1947, was the first time that there was a concerted effort to steer a hurricane. Now it says, President Lyndon B. Johnson, Southwest Texas State University, 1962 said, let's see if we can get the full quote here, I'm not sure if it gives it all to us and ultimately to control the weather and he who controls the weather will control the world. He who controls the weather controls the world. Lyndon B. Johnson, 1962 at the Southwest Texas State University. Okay, let's move on. Project Cirrus. Project Cirrus is the fir Now, there's a news article that is the Daily News. It says, Destroying a Hurricane. This is from 1947, September 17th. This is from the Daily News, the 17th year, Charlotte, O'Malley, Virgin Islands. The destroying a hurricane, the energy expended by a tropical hurricane is enough to drive all the machinery in the world for three or four years. Yet the army, the Navy, and the general electric company are collaborating in a daring meteorological experiment, which is to determine whether or not the colossal. that we call a hurricane can be broken by making it precipitate the thousands of cuts off. I assumed water, right? If the older attempts at rainmaking came to nothing, it is because it is not known how the raindrops are created. Some years ago, it was discovered that unless there is a nucleus, something around which, A moisture can wrap itself. There is can be neither snowflakes nor droplets. The rest now seems simple. Little seeds of carbon dioxide, snow scattered from a plane, serve as much. Nuclei. Okay. 1947. There's your article. First official attempt to modify a hurricane. It was run by General Electric with the support of the US military 1947. The official theory was that by changing the temperature. Outside the eyewall of a hurricane, which they did by seeding the clouds with various compounds such as silver iodide, a decrease in strong winds will result on October 13th, 1947 Project Cirrus targeted a hurricane heading out to sea. This says Project Cirrus, first hurricane cloud seeding experiment. The cyclone was historically significant in that it was the first tropical cyclone to be modified as part of a multi year operation called Project Cirrus. In 1946, General Electric scientists concluded that experimentation that dry ice seeding could induce heavy rainfall and thus ultimately weaken storms by cooling temperatures in the eye. To undertake Project Cirrus, General Electric, the United States Army, the Office of Naval Research, and the U. S. Weather Bureau functioned jointly on research and planning. Early on October 13th, 1947, 200 pounds of dry ice were dropped through the storm, then located about 350 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida. While the appearance of the clouds changed, the initial results of the seeding were inconclusive. Shortly after the seeding took place, the hurricane turned sharply towards the southeastern United States. While the move the leading General Electric scientists later blamed upon the seeding, subsequent examination of the environment surrounding the storm determined that a large upper level ridge was in fact responsible for the abrupt turn. Of course it was, because then hundreds and people died as a result of your experiment. You're not gonna admit that. Are you? Especially if you're the government. Now you have to ask yourself, is this the government doing this? Is the government going in there and manipulating these hurricanes to move this closer to this area where they want the people that funded them to go in and be able to take this lithium? I don't think that's the case, right? This is all speculation, by the way. Maybe I'm making stuff up here. Go do the research yourself. But what I would say is it doesn't have to be that it doesn't have to be this big governmental experiment. It doesn't have to be that it has to be four or five executives paying a small team of pilots that, that all go from Blackrock in their private jets and just so happened to fly directly through a hurricane, by the way, just remembering There was a pilot that drove directly through the hurricane. Directly through. I'll see if I can find that for you. Give me one second. Alright. Here is the plane that flew directly through the hurricane. November 610 Foxtrot Papa. Now, you can go do research on what that is. Some people are saying that it's an aerial photography company. Who cares? It's an airplane flying directly through a hurricane. Who does that? Why would you do that? Maybe they don't even have people doing this. Maybe it's a drone. They don't need people with stories to tell, and jobs to lose, and indictments to be had to be doing this. They need five to seven executives and two people to pay somebody to fly a drone through this and drop that dry ice or whatever it is that they're doing now 85 years later. It doesn't have to be this big government conspiracy. It could be five executives wanting to get their fucking lithium out of that city. And so they pay somebody to fly through it. They pay them to drop this cloud seeding. And then all of the sudden, it decimates Tennessee? Tennessee? When was the last time a hurricane hit Tennessee? And then again, radio silence for days by the news. Why is the news not talking about this with the severity of it? Remember New Orleans? Remember Hurricane Katrina? Everything shut down. They were raising, we were donating in high school, middle school, elementary school. All over the country was united. And now with this, radio silence. For days. The only reason any of us knew about this. For three days. Was because of social media. Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious. Okay, so there's your airplane, November 610, Foxtrot Papa. Go do some research on it. I don't have the time today to do it. But go check it out for yourself. Maybe I'm wrong. They definitely flew through this hurricane. I wonder why. So all they have to do is fly one airplane through this hurricane, drop this cloud seating, and then all of the sudden, all of the sudden, you have a hurricane taking a sharp left turn when it wouldn't have otherwise. Here you go. Approximately 180 pounds of dry ice was dropped into the clouds. The crew then reported a pronounced modification of the cloud deck, and the hurricane abruptly changed direction and made landfall. Alright, I just wanted to read this for you because this is the actual facts, he's giving a narrative around it, which is great, but this is the article. October 13th, 1947, a disaster with Project Cirrus. What happened next was the worst case scenario. Instead of dissipating, the storm furiously swung nearly 130 degrees to the west. Very similar as it did with Helene. And smash in the Georgia where it caused $2 million worth of damage. Threats of lawsuits soon followed with Georgia residents Blaming the government in 1947 for the hurricane devastation Project Serious was all but shut down before it truly began, and any research into weather manipulation was re Reddit. Re reputated Repe Repudiated . R-E-P-U-D-I-T-E-D. Repu, repudiated, it's a weird word for decades. All near Savannah, Georgia, the public blamed the government Irving Langmuir who pioneered General Electric's atmospheric research department and admitted that the project was about learning how to weaponize the weather. Also claimed the reversal of the hurricane had been caused by Project Cirrus, but the government denied it for 12 years. After a short delay, the project. Okay, again. Let's go back, he's telling the narrative, but there's facts up on the screen for you. And what this said, if we can go back, let's see here. And I do want to tell you the source here, this is Gregory's he's a InfoWars submission guy, like he does a lot of their great videos. Listen to the narrative, don't listen to the narrative, look up these newspapers. Don't take my word for it. Don't take his word for it. Go find these newspapers. The Lincoln Journal Star, Sunday, May 1st, 1955. Hurricane seeding. Langmuir and cloud seeding during Project Cirrus in the New Mexico Desert was conducted at regular weekly intervals and Midwest rain begins to fall weekly too. The scientist described another test in October of 1947 where It's he said a hurricane was seeded. It changed course, hitting the city of Savannah, Georgia, doing heavy damage. So that was him admitting that was a cause of that hurricane. Let's move on. This is the story 12 years after a short delay, the project officially continued and in 1965 Project Storm Fury had targeted Hurricane Betsy for seeding on that day. The storm immediately changed direction and made landfall in southern Florida. This comes from the Liberty Beacon says yes, the government has experimented with controlling hurricanes. Hurricane Betsy was building strength. It looked like it was aiming for South Carolina, posing no threat to South Florida. But on Saturday, September 4th, the storm whirled to a stop about 350 miles east of Jackson when Betsy started moving again on Sunday. She had changed directions. The storm plowed through the Bahamas Monday night, then mauled Florida. Or South Florida. A day later, Florida Congress blamed it on Project Storm Fury, but the government claimed that the hurricane shifted before they ever had a chance to seed it. And after two months of congressional hearings, the project was allowed to continue. In 1997, US Defense Secretary William Cohen, admitted we have the technology to control the weather. Okay, this comes from DODs News, defense Briefing United States. Department of Defense website January 15th, 2006. It's an article from 2000 or 1997 and it says Cohen's keynote address to the Congress on terror or conference on terrorism, weapons of mass destruction and us strategy at the Georgia center. Mahler auditorium, university of Georgia, Athens, Georgia. The event is a part of the Sam Nunn policy forum being hosted by the university of Georgia. Senator Nunn. Thank you very much. As Senator Nunn has. And indicated he and I have worked for many years along the Senator Lugar. The two of these gentlemen, I feel perhaps the most courageous and visionary have served in the Senate. Let's see if it actually goes into Including earthquakes and volcanoes. Says Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen. Monday, April 28th, 8 45 a. m. It says Tuffler has written about these, this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories, Different things. Trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic specific. Ooh, imagine that. So they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races, and others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy specific crops. Others are engaging even in an eco type of terrorism, where they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. The U. S. government has placed gag orders on employees of the National Weather Service. In October of 2012, after Hurricane Sandy weakened to a tropical storm, microwave imagery shows a thick red beam. Now this says that you can the website for this is morphedintegratedmicrowaveimagery. com C-I-M-S-S version one. The hurricane in the time of this type of energy was 2012 October 27th. And you can go look for that yourself, but there is this red wave that goes directly at the hurricane that is going away is dissipating. Then all of a sudden, immediately followed by Sandy growing into a category one hurricane and taking an unexplained left turn into New Jersey. The push towards alternative energy demands more lithium and according to the US Geological Survey. The United States has over six million tons of identified lithium resources. The majority of this lithium has been identified in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Kings Mountain is believed to have one of the largest resources in the world, but the biggest problem is that people live there and they don't want their quiet towns turned into lithium mines. People in Cherryville have been pushing against a proposed lithium mine for the last several years, but everyone we spoke with here said it's too divisive of an issue to share their opinion on camera. Cherryville is a small, quiet town. I think that's good that we keep it small. so quiet. Many don't feel comfortable speaking out against Piedmont Lithium's proposed mining operation nearby. I think we're a silent majority. I think a lot of people are afraid to say anything about it because they are bringing a lot to the town as far as money. Last year, the Department of Defense entered a 90 million agreement. Okay, DOD enters agreement to expand domestic lithium mining for U. S. battery supply chains. The 90 million agreement entered into the Defense Production Act, Title III authorities, and utilizing funds appropriately by the Inflation Reduction Act will help support Abler Marley's planned reopening of the Kings Mountain, North Carolina, lithium mine to increase domestic production of lithium for the nation's battery supply chain. Estimates that Kings Mountain will be operational between 2025 and 2030. With Alba Marley Corporation to increase domestic production of lithium for the nation's battery supply chain, specifically from Kings Mountain, North Carolina, starting by 2025. This is the same area experiencing what is being described as biblical floods. While the federal government spends billions on foreign wars and illegal immigrants, they simply cannot be bothered with the health and well being of the American people, especially those living on coveted mineral rich land. Reporting for InfoWars, this is Greg Reese. The family's devastation there. So I think You have three questions to ask yourself about this hurricane and this conspiracy. Can they do it? Can they do it? Now we know the answer is yes. Would they do it? If there's enough money involved, we know absolutely they would do it. Check. Did they do it? That's the question that needs to be answered, but the first two are answered 100%. Can they do it? Yes. They can manipulate the weather and specifically hurricanes to make this type of movement inward towards shore. They can manipulate it to go where they want it to go, at least in some sense, right? The accuracy of that moving, but it obliterated almost, a fifth of the country towards that lower area. So can they do it? Yes. Yes. Would they do it if the price tag is high enough? Yes, absolutely. We know that Blackrock and Vanguard will go to any lengths to make profits. Did they do it? I'll leave that one to you. And maybe we'll see some type of evidence that comes out more here in the near future. So let's see if there's anything else on that. And then we will move on to the next topic. All right. So there's several people talking about this. There's several clips that have gone. Quote unquote viral about this. And here are some of those. Let's see if we can pull it up here. All right. This is the one that I probably found to be the best. I'll tell you what I find suspicious as shit, that one of the areas affected by hurricane Helene is the world's largest lithium deposit. And the DOD just entered into an agreement with this company right here to mine lithium for electric cars. Starting in 2025. Now that area is completely devastated. This is a 90 million agreement between the D. O. D. And this company right here to get Kings Mountain North Carolina lithium mine up and running by 2030. If that area has been inundated, it's in a disaster zone. then the government can come in and do eminent domain and they can pay you what it was worth five years ago rather than what it's worth right now. Imagine that your home has turned into a watery lot and the government comes to you and says, Hey, I'll pay you what you paid for it. You're going to take it and you're going to go, right? What do you think is going to happen right here now that they want this lithium mine up and running by 2025 2030 at the latest? Back in 1947 we had the Florida Georgia hurricane or hurricane nine and it was the first hurricane to be targeted for weather modification. What happened was General Electric said, The U. S. Navy, the Army, the Air Force, they poured dry ice into this hurricane using airplanes to see what would happen. Would they slow it down? What happened was it slowed down a little bit, but it turned west really sharp. Let me show you. This is the path that the hurricane took in 1947. Does it look similar to you? Probably not. It's a coincidence, right? Moving on. I'm sure this is just another coincidence, but do you know who owns the most shares in that lithium mine? BlackRock and Vanguard. Yep, so everything I just told you just from her voice. Now, the one thing that's interesting about that is the imminent domain conversation, which is the fact that was brought up when it came to Lahaina too. If this is a devastated land, the government can basically take control of that land, claim an imminent domain, pay out those people for that, not based on what is the mineral rich underneath that, the amount of materials that they can siphon from it, which would be the fair market value. But, what they paid for it five years ago, before this contract was even entered, and before they even knew that there was lithium there. Sounds like a good reason, and motivating enough for them. To me. Okay. Let's move on here. But let's touch on this first. Remember that one time where Kamala said that disaster relief should be based on equity? Also an interesting thing to note. Yeah, remember we talked about that before. I forget the, which hurricane was that. That was for Hurricane Ian. She said that, and here it is. Oh, shit. Let's see if we can get it to play from right here. Here we go. It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted and most impacted. By these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making. And so when Absolutely. And women. Yeah. And so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place. Yeah. Marxism. And if we want people to drown based on their income. Sometimes we have to take into account those disparities. And do that work. Yeah. Yeah. That could be your next president, folks. Alright, now that leads us to our next discussion. which is about the longshoremen. I think it was called the portshoremen. Not terribly inaccurate, but also not true. The longshoremen, international longshoremen's association. All right. This guy is the one kind of leading the discussion. I believe he might be like the president of the union or something like that. I'm sure we'll find out in just a moment, but Very chilling words. And if you're an American citizen, this should frustrate the hell out of you, right? All of these unions, these strikes, these, all of this, look, I get it. You have to negotiate for fair wages and there's a certain way to go about that. And having a union is. If you're somebody who works in this type of job, and you also want to decimate the economy for a 50 percent raise on your 150, 000 salary. Now, I'm not saying these guys don't deserve that type of money. I'm not saying that they're in the complete wrong here in terms of making the strike, but understanding what could be the potential outcome for this as a result. It's pretty terrifying too. Now, maybe you'd put that back onto the longshoremen the organizations that they work for and say, Hey, maybe you should pay them more. Maybe you should stop the automation. We'll talk about all of that, which is the reasons why they actually are going on this type of strike. Let's go ahead and watch. But today's world, it's changing into the future. They're not making millions no more. They're making billions and they're spending it fast as they make it. I want a piece of that for my men because when they made their most money was during COVID. When my men had to go through Go to work on those peers every single day when everybody stayed home and went to work, not my men, they died out there with the virus. We all got sick with the virus. We kept them going from Canada, the main of Texas, Great Lakes, Puerto Rico. Now the Bahamas, everybody went to work during COVID. Nobody stayed home. I want to be compensated for that. I'm not asking for the world. They know what I want. They know what they want. And if they don't then I have to go into the street and we have to fight for what we rightfully deserve. These people today don't know what a strike is. When my men hit the from Maine to Texas. Every single port, a lockdown, what's going to happen. I'll tell you. First week be all over the news every night. Boom, boom. Second week guys who sell cars can't sell cars because the cars ain't coming in off the ships. They get laid off. Third week mall starts. closing down. They can't get the goods from China. They can't sell clothes. They can't do this. Everything in the United States comes on a ship. They go out of business. Construction workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in. The steel is not coming in. The lumber is not coming in. They lose their job. Everybody's hating the longshoremen now because now they realize how important Our jobs are. Now I have the president screaming at me. I'm putting a Taft Hartley on you. Go ahead. Taft Hartley means I have to go back to work for 90 days. That's a cooling off period. Do you think when I go back for 90 days, those men are going to go to work on that pier? It's going to cost the money, the company's money, to pay their salaries it went from 30 moves an hour, maybe to eight. They're going to be like this. Who's going to win here in the long run? You're better off sitting down, and let's get a contract, and let's move on with this world. And in today's world, I'll cripple you. I will cripple you, and you will have no idea what that means. Nobody does. I love the nice music at the end there. I will cripple you, not I will cripple you, the longshoreman's associate or the organizations that they work for. No, I will cripple the men and women. He even said it in there. I will cripple the car salesman. I will cripple the small business owners. I will cripple the American family trying to get food to their table. Right now you want to talk about what they're trying to negotiate here, what they want out of this strike. They want a five year. A five year 50 percent raise. They currently make about 150, 000. They want a five year 50 percent raise 10 percent every year for the next five years. The other part of this was about automation. They want to have the companies that they work for stop using automation. Apparently on the previous contract that they utilized, and this comes from a video I watched, I haven't validated the contracts, but allegedly they want it. The organizations that they work for to promise. They won't use AI promise. They won't use automation promise that they won't take their jobs eventually over time. Like every other industry is dealing with the same thing that we have saw with the writer's strike, right? How long did it take for them to come to an agreement? Almost a year. It was like eight months, maybe even longer, right? That's why all the movies sucked for all of last year. So the question is what's going to come from this, right? And what is the expectation here? Yeah. If you don't move with the times, you're going to expect them to just never use automation, never use AI. And if they do, you're all going to quit. Doesn't that just Speed up the use of automation. China's already doing this. China is already all of their longshoremen, all of their seaports that are taking in all of their goods or shipping it more than likely, if you're in China, all of those are already automated. There's videos out there that you can watch right now. These guys that sit behind the computer and they're working nine to 10 screens, all telling these vehicles where to go and what to pick up and how to move it and all this stuff. So they're hyper efficient compared to what we're doing. How do you expect it to not move that direction? And you're just going to sit on your butt and go, okay, don't do it. Or I'm going to, I'm not going to work. What is the expectation here? And how is that a solution to the problem? Why not develop a strategic agreement or Alliance or profit sharing agreement that if there is automation, that there is a longstanding percentage of that automation profitability that goes towards retirement funds, there's one solution. Why not? Go build out the automation themselves. Why not start a company that then has the ability to, or it has the foresight to service the vehicles, right? If you have a contract on any of these automations that are then in the future, the first right to contract for the, that money. goes to any previous longshoreman, right? So any of the automation that is being built, any of the maintenance that is being done, any of the assistance that needs to happen on the ports, all of that business immediately goes to the people who were previously hired as longshoremen. Maybe that's their agreement, but the idea that there's just never going to utilize automation and you're just going to outlast technology is just silly. So come to a better agreement, figure it out in a way that's actually useful because this is not. These guys are going to cripple the American economy. So let's get some context here. This article comes from ConstructionDive. com, and it says, work stoppages across east and west east and Gulf Coast ports may cause product shortages, price hikes, and delivery issues, construction experts say. This was published yesterday, October 1st, 2024. It says, as the International Longshoremen's Association went on strike this morning over a new master contract, construction pros across the country are waiting to see how the walkout. which affects ports from Texas to Maine will impact their businesses. The ILA's talks with the United States Maritime Alliance broke down over wages and a total ban on the automation of machinery important to dock work, including cranes, gates, and container moving trucks. According to the Associated Press, the strike is the first by the union since 1977. The impacted reports are some of the main points of entry for construction materials, heavy machinery, food, vehicles, chemicals, according to the Wall Street Journal. Material delivery delays could also incur in other regions of the country, according to Manufacturing Dive. Exports of oil, liquefied natural gas at Gulf Coast ports will likely be unaffected due to the ILA has little or no involvement in those operations. Bill Fleming, Senior Vice President at the New York based consulting firm, Cumming Group, weird name said that impacts of the strike should be felt immediately in the construction industry. Okay, so this is very specific to construction. Combine that with hurricane induced shortages, it starts to bring up. This could be catastrophic. For the U S infrastructure. So there's a little bit more context. I'd like maybe a little bit more but I think you get the idea. It's all about AI. It's all about automation. It's about eliminating some of their jobs and them wanting higher pay. So not only do you want us to not use AI to lower our overhead costs. You also want us to pay you more, which is only again, going to speed along the automation track. Automation is not going away. What is going to go away is the people who don't jump on board with helping to build that future, right? If you were somebody who is I don't know, what's a good example of an old job that is lost. If you were a factory worker in building Model Ts by hand. You probably weren't going to decide not to work anymore once they decided to bring in some machines, right? If you were a horse and buggy taxi driver, you're not gonna decide not to drive a car, right? There's a new way to do what you do and to help push along the production line. You just have to figure out what that part is. And see it soon enough to play a part, right? Don't fight against this. It's going to, it's going to happen. There's going to be automation, right? Maybe you get your raise because you add more skills around automation. Not just eliminate it, the use all together, right? Seems silly to me and the fact that they're going to shut down our country over some Ridiculous claim that there's going to not be any automation or AI integrated into this type of industry is ridiculous It's never gonna happen There's always going to be the next best thing and movement in industry and for them to say we're going to Cripple small business owners. We're going to cripple small businesses Young families, we're going to cripple the entire us economy until we get our way. We get a 50 percent rate, a 50 percent salary increase off of our 150, 000 a year salary. I'm not saying they don't deserve that. They deserve that. And they probably deserve more. It's a freaking hard job. It's a crazy difficult job. I'm not discounting that. But what I am saying is that you can't fight back against automation. It's going to happen. And if you don't do it, your company is going to go under. Because another company is going to come in and do it at a lower cost. Or they're going to outsource that work to other people and you're just going to lose your job altogether. So that's where we're at with that. Now there's people sounding the alarm. There was lines outside the door at Costco yesterday, people bulk purchasing toilet paper and dry goods so that if, and when the supply chain fails over the next couple of weeks that they have what they need. Now, I'm not saying you need to go do that. I'm not saying not to do it, probably a good idea, always to have reserves of food, reserves of water, reserves of gas, I'm not sure if there's a way to really do that, but if there was, you should probably do that generators, all of that stuff, guys just, if we've learned anything over the last four to five years, there is going to be some sort of catastrophic event that cuts us off from the grid, there's going to be supply chain shortages, COVID was just a glimpse into that. Maybe start to do something about that. Not specifically because of this, but just because you should, right? Because if it's not, this is going to be something else be prepared. All right, now moving on, let's go ahead and pull the next article up. There is escalating tensions. Oh, we got one more thing here. One more thing. Let's see. Let's see this one more article and then we'll move on. Cause I think we got it. This is a big deal, guys. Let's watch this one. Same guy. Knocking down doors. She's trying to stop this. She's trying to get us to a media where we can have a fair negotiations. It's the companies that don't want to. They don't want to sit here and be fair. So that's why we're out here fighting for our livelihood. What more from the automation do you want? What more protections could there be? What more? Yeah, they have language in there now. Not strong enough. Because what happens is they come in with new technology. We just caught them in Mobile, Alabama called Autogate. And that means the trucks are coming in and they're already checked in somewhere else and not using the checkers in the I. L. A. Circa vetting the contract. They don't care. They don't care. It's not fair, and if we don't put our foot down now, they would like to run over us, and we're not going to allow that. You are going to grind the economy to a halt here on the East Coast and the Gulf Coast. No, not us. They are. Don't spin it now, because you're Fox News. They're going to drive it. But are you worried? Are you worried that this drive They have the capital. to settle this thing. Are you worried that this strike is going to hurt the everyday American, the farmers that need to reach the export market? They're telling me that they're going to hurt. You start to realize who the longshoremen are, right? People never gave a about us until now, when they finally realized that The chain is being broke now. Cars won't come in. Food won't come in. Clothing won't come in. You know how many people depend on our jobs? Half the world! And it's time for them, and time for Washington, to put so much pressure on them, to take care of us because we took care of them and we're here 135 years and brought them where they are today and they don't want to share. Fox Business Lydia Hu joins us now from the port of Newark in New Jersey and I've been following you. We have been as you've done this story for us and now the rubber has met the road and he feels like he's dug in and feels like he's in a strong position. Is he in as strong a position as he thinks or appears to seem to be? He certainly feels like he's in a strong position, and he's probably looking around at other unions and the wage gains and the record contracts that they have notched in recent years. Just last year, the West Coast port workers got a new contract with a 32 percent wage hike. Over four years. So now Mr Daggett, the president is looking at that and saying we want that and better just yesterday, Dana, Mr Daggett rejected port management's offer of a 50 percent wage hike over eight years. Just to give you an idea of where they stand right now. It does seem like the two sides are still far apart, but he does at least see Wow, so you see this guy is on a power hungry streak, right? Again, they have a fair contract 80 or 50 percent increase over eight years Seems pretty fair to me the idea that there's already language in the contracts that say that they can't use automation Seems pretty fair to me bring up the litigation against the company, right? Go to the court with them Don't cripple the entire country all of the small business owners Families trying to feed their children. Because you want to be selfish And again, You're just going to get replaced. This is so stupid. What are you doing? Ridiculous. These unions are a problem, dude. These are, these unions are they, The union, that guy is an absolute idiot. He's sitting there, riling up his team, Getting their, these, So let's move on to something just, if not more pressing, which is the next stages leading up to potentially world war three, as we've seen, go back and search my podcast and look for world war three, we've seen the Russia, Ukraine, we've seen that I ran, or we've seen Israel and Hamas, we've seen Iran now, and Israel, Iran has openly attacked Israel. is now attacking back. In light of that, there is Russia escalating tensions. There was a fighter jet yesterday, a Russian SU 35 pilot going right by an F 16 near Alaska in our own airspace. This is how they're treating us. This fighter jet flies within two feet of our F 16, two feet, and then takes off. Pretty sweet. The pilot goes, holy fuck. Yeah, holy fuck. But, that just shows you, they're willing to go to these lengths. And when you look at the BRIC you look at that alliance, you look at the downfall that's happening with the U. S. dollar. You look at the conversations that are being had between Russia and China, India, right? We're, this is not a, this is not a winning battle for us. We should not be in these wars. We should not be the proxy funding capital of the world. Let Israel fight it out. We have nothing to do with this. Now, the U. S. has sent another aid package to Israel. And Biden has directed the U. S. military to shoot down Iranian missiles targeting Israel. It says U S president Joe Biden. This comes from business standard and vice president Kamal Harris are monitoring an Iranian attack against Israel from the white house state situation room and receiving regular updates from their national security team. According to the white house situation room update, president Biden directed the U S military aid to aid Israel's defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel on Tuesday in a major escalation in the raging conflict in the middle East. Iran launched a missile attack on Israel on Tuesday. To start a sentence with on Tuesday and end it with on Tuesday is crazy. In a statement, the IDF said all Israeli citizens are in bomb shelters as rockets from Iran are fired at Israel. Hezbollah is upset that the IDF exposed their plans to massacre Israelis, this says, so they decided to target innocent civilians by firing a barrage of rockets, the IDF further said. 102 missiles have been launched towards Israel. According to the Jerusalem Post, sirens continue to sound across Israel amid the attack. The Times of Israel reported, according to the IDF, around 10 million civilians are the targets of Iranian projectiles. Okay, I'm not sure I'm taking the IDF's opinion on really anything at this point. Maybe there's a better quote or source that we can utilize because we know it's all propaganda on both sides, all the way across. There was also a terrorist attack yesterday that killed, I think, eight civilians in Israel. Two men with guns that opened fire just before. Terrible. Horrible. No good. Very bad day. This is ridiculous. We shouldn't be involving ourselves. We all know that the United States is going to put its nose where it doesn't belong. We all know that we are the ones that are fighting Iran. We are the ones that are fighting Russia. We are the ones aiding the both of these countries would have absolutely no chance if it wasn't for our money and they wouldn't even be in the wars to begin with. But they're going to send your sons and daughters to die so that Israel has a chance in this war and so that Ukraine can continue giving 10 percent to the big guy. Here's a video again coming from Alex Jones. I think the more and more we get into this crazy scenario or this crazy simulation, the more we find Alex Jones stuff out, you bull. Now again, it's Alex Jones. Take it with a grain of salt. He's been right about a ton of stuff. He's been wrong about a few things, just like all of us. But here is his video that I thought was decently well done. And it's only going to get worse until people wake up and you will wake up one way or another. You may wake up when the drones are flying down the street and the big trash trucks, robot driven, are pulling up and getting the dead bodies and your wife and kids are dead. And for some reason you're immune to the new virus and you're sitting there with the electricity off and no food and half the city's dead. And just know that often luxurious places that people like Zuckerberg will be in their bunkers while we're all dying. Our people are everywhere and they're watching the enemy. And when we all jump on their private jets this week, next month, a year from now, whatever it is, and the private airports are full, all the establishment and their minions loaded up with all their crap flying off to their armored fortresses, that's another key to know when they're about to pull the trigger on a new bio weapon. Or a nuclear war. But after the dust settles, we know where to get the medicine and food we need as survivors, don't we? And that's what matters at the end. Is we will get these people. I may not be around for it, and a lot of you won't be around for it. But don't get on the bus when they tell you they're relocating you for your safety when all the food and energy's off. Because you go to that forced labor camp, you ain't ever coming back. This is how it works in history. Happens all the time. People forget freedom. They don't stand up for themselves and the tyrants take over. And they don't just not care about you. They hate you. They want to hurt you. I always hear, Oh, the new order doesn't care about the people. Oh, the Democrats don't care. Oh, they do care. They love partying and taking drugs and getting their hair done and flying around on private jets while your kids are all locked up at the house with you and you're going bankrupt. They enjoy hurting you. It makes them enjoy their lives so much more. And hey, only people you got to blame is yourself, right? I'm not saying you're to blame. They obviously are the really bad people. But, hey, I get it. A lot of fun stuff. A lot of movies to see. A lot of concerts. Let somebody else handle that. The new order is gonna handle you. They're making their move. You're like they'll never get away with that. This is America. Have you looked around, boys and girls, at where we are? And how fast thin
