Seemingly in a twist of political fate, Republicans initially steadfast against supporting ex-President Donald Trump now seem on the verge of rallying behind him again, come November. This changing disposition is triggered by a perceived need to prevent President Biden from achieving a second term. Eric Levine, a respected Republican financier and formerly a diehard Nikki Haley fan, expressed his defiance to Fox News Digital, asserting that his support for Trump, although not enthusiastic, was a choice born out of necessity. Levine, renowned in the Grand Old Party (GOP) for his capacity to raise funds, candidly shared his viewpoints in a recent essay sent to his extensive network of fellow GOP donors. In this piece, he admitted that his firm determination not to back Trump post-Jan. 6 Capitol riots had unexpectedly altered. He confessed that he was facing the surprising reality of needing to vote for Trump once more, against his earlier convictions. GOP consultant John Feehery proposed that whether 'never-Trump' Republicans swing back to Trump would strongly depend on their level of alarm about Biden's decisions. Levy echoed this perspective, stating that his choice was driven more by his profound disapproval of Biden than by any renewed affection for Trump. Interestingly for individuals like Levy, their quandary was not about choosing between Trump or Biden. It was more of a question of whether they would participate in the election process or abstain completely, thereby indirectly giving their endorsement to Trump by not voting for Biden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fake law firms like Commonwealth Legal out of Arizona are sending out copyright infringement notices to manipulate SEO rankings. This is just another way attackers are getting more and more creative to manipulate the things that you see on the day to day. Over 1. 2 million people were tricked using a Facebook scam where hackers peddled fake services like Midjourney or OpenAI's Sora that deployed malware designed to hijack users data. How can you identify this type of scam and protect yourself? And finally, Ivanti has patched a critical security flaw that affects over 16, 000 vPN gateways. What is this vulnerability and how can administrators protect their VPN gateways? We live in a world where everyone has a website, whether it's your personal business or your hobby. There are tons of websites and they're easy to spin up. Well, Ars Technica is reporting that there are now fake law firms who are sending copyright infringement notices to personal and hobby websites. For example, you're using an image that doesn't belong to you, please provide compensation. Ars Technica. Taking it down doesn't work. The most notable firm. is titled Commonwealth Legal, even though it's out of Arizona or so it says, which isn't a state that's deemed a Commonwealth. And they're claiming to represent the Intellectual Property Division of Tech4Gods. Like I mentioned, there are a lot of key indicators that this legal firm is fake. For example, it's a brand new domain registration, which means their website's brand new. It's also a Canadian IP address and the physical address doesn't match the one listed on the website. If you actually go to the website for Commonwealth Legal, you'll see a bunch of AI generated images of attorneys. Yeah, doesn't take much to realize this is probably a fake website. But regardless, if you receive a copyright infringement notice, That's a pretty scary thing. So why does this exist? Why is this happening? Well, it's pretty clever. This legal firm claims to represent the company Tech4Gods, which may or may not be a legitimate site, but the whole goal of this is to boost the SEO for Tech4Gods. And the way that it does that is by placing backlinks or just links to the Tech4Gods website all over the internet, which is a gold mine for SEO rankings. Now, if you want more specifics than that, you can check out the article by Ars Technica in the show notes, but make sure to just be skeptical of every threat or every email you get from someone who you don't know. If you get an email that claims you're infringing on someone's copyright, Look for signs that it's fake. Maybe reach out to a different law firm. Maybe reach out to the police because maybe they've heard of this scam before and will be able to verify that it's a scam. Nothing in our legal system, especially in the United States goes quickly. So don't act with a sense of urgency. You don't need to pay anything immediately. Take your time and work through this. Over 1. 2 million people on Facebook have been tricked into clicking links for counterfeit AI services such as Midjourney, OpenAI Sora, ChatGPT-5, and DAL E by promising previews of unreleased features. And you'll never guess how attackers have done this. They have purchased ads. That's right. Anyone can purchase ads. Attackers do it. They promise you something that's too good to be true. You click it, and now you've downloaded some malicious software. So these specific Facebook ads coax users into joining fake Facebook groups that look real, and then immediately the users are bombarded with Seemingly legitimate updates, AI generated visuals, and enticing offers or, quote, early access to AI innovations. So these are just baits to lure victims into downloading malicious software, but instead of getting the cutting edge tools you were promised, you're getting password theft malware, like, Rylide, Vidar, IceRat, and Nova. Once this malware is downloaded, it's gonna go into your browser and try to grab your session cookies, credentials, maybe stored in your Google Chrome password manager. It's gonna look for cryptocurrency details and more. The case outlined by Bitdefender and reported by Blooping Computer in our show notes. It showcases a mid journey fan page that had over 1. 2 million followers, which was initially a legitimate fan page, but was taken over by hackers in June of 2023. It operated from June of 2023 up until last week when Facebook finally took it down. Once attackers had taken over this Facebook page, they created a fake website, flawlessly mimicking the mid journey website. which only helped them push this fake malware onto its users. When they click on the website, it actually goes to a website that looks exactly like Midjourney. Here is where users would be tricked into downloading the malware disguised as the state of the art image generation tools. Once they download, It looks like they were required to install a Google Translate browser extension, which is where the malware lives. Even though this page has been taken down by Facebook, the attackers have quickly moved over to a new page which already has 600, 000 plus followers. So this is just a case of malvertising. I'm actually gonna start making stickers. Don't click on Google ads. Now I'm gonna include don't click on Facebook ads because they're pretty cheap to run. I did a test the other day on a Daily Decrypt Reel on Instagram and I got 3, 000 views for five bucks. Now if I had attacker kind of money, That would be a lot more views, a lot more clicks. So just be weary of Facebook ads. I literally don't click any ads anymore, even if the product looks polished and pristine, there are some legitimate ads out there, but at this point, I don't trust any of them. So keep an eye out. for a Daily Decrypt store opening up soon with some fresh new stickers handmade by me, and don't click on any ads. And finally, Ivanti has disclosed a high severity remote code execution flaw which affects up to 16, 500 of its connect secure and poly secure gateways. This vulnerability is due to a heap overflow in the IPSet component impacting versions 9. 0 and 22. And could potentially allow unauthorized attackers to execute remote code. or initiate denial of service by sending specifically crafted requests. This issue came to light following reports by internet search engine Shodan and threat monitoring service Shadow Server, which initially discovered approximately 29, 000 exposed services. Ivanti, however, has reassured its customer base that there have been no observed instances of exploitation, but emphasizes the importance of applying necessary updates without delay to avoid breaches. ShadowServer's subsequent assessments revealed that the number of susceptible devices might be closer to around 16, 000, with the highest concentrations of vulnerable gateways located in the United States. Japan, the UK, Germany, France, and the list goes on. This vulnerability is not the first to raise alarms with Ivanti's user community. Earlier this year, various Ivanti products flaws were exploited by state sponsored actors and hacking groups to facilitate their use. unauthorized access, and control over affected devices. A recent report by Mandiant highlights the exploitation of Ivanti endpoints by Chinese hackers employing a malware family dubbed Spawn. Ivanti has released patches for all supported versions of the affected products. So yeah, get out there, update your systems, and sleep well at night. That's all I got for you today. If you like what you hear, we'd really appreciate a review on Spotify or Apple podcasts and a follow on Instagram, subscription on YouTube, wherever you consume your media and send us a comment. We'd love to hear from you. I hope you have a great rest of your weekend. Go check out the solar eclipse this Monday and we'll talk to you some more later.

In the late 1970s, a strange group of folks arrived on Vashon Island, WA. Seemingly overnight, 60 men, women and children set up military tents and portapotties and got to work transforming 58 acres of pristine coastal forest into a religious commune.  Under the direction of their charismatic leader Lou, and his surly wife Mary Lou, the Wesleyan Cult built homes and a life for their community on their private compound.  Rumors swirled around town as islanders wondered what this new group was up to. As we find out this week, it was much weirder and more sinister than anyone could've imagined.In this week's episode, we have the absolute honor and privilege of interviewing Deb Donner, survivor of the Wesleyan Cult. Deb will walk us through her experience with the cult from the beginnings of the group, to the cult fleeing Illinois and arriving on Vashon, all the way to her courageous escape. Please join us in bearing witness to Deb's incredible story of survival and strength.Happy Haunting!

Show Notes and Transcript The current Israeli-Gaza war has sparked much debate focussing on geo politics and historical land disputes.  But few dare ask if Islam is the root cause of the ongoing tension.  Robert Spencer has studied Islam for 3 decades. His dozens of books and the Jihad Watch website are all go to sources of background information on Islam and the history behind it.  He returns to Hearts of Oak to ask if this is a religious problem and we start by looking at what Islam actually says about the Jews.  The aggression and vitriol throughout Islamic text and the history of behaviour towards the Jewish people is an eye opener to all of us.  Armed with this deeper understanding Robert then touches on how the term Palestinian was invented. The history, leader, flag and culture had to be invented as it was all non existent before.  His short book "The Palestinian Delusion" goes into much more detail and is a recommended read.  Enjoy the interview and get ready to see this current conflict in a whole new light. 'The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process' on Amazon https://amzn.eu/d/cPigAab Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He is the author of twenty-seven books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam, The Truth About Muhammad and the bestsellers The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS and The Critical Qur'an: Explained from Key Islamic Commentaries and Contemporary Historical Research. His new book is Empire of God: How the Byzantines Saved Civilization. Spencer has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the FBI, the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group, the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), the Justice Department's Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council and the U.S. intelligence community. He has discussed jihad, Islam, and terrorism at a workshop sponsored by the U.S. State Department and the German Foreign Ministry. He is a senior fellow with the Center for Security Policy.

Robert, thank you so much for your time today. (Robert Spencer) Always good to talk to you, Peter. Thank you. Great to have you on. Always good to have guests on talking about their books. We'll get into a book that I've been delving into and got a couple of months ago, but only picked it up recently and have read it. We'll get into that in a moment. But obviously, you can find Robert: that is his Twitter handle, @jihadwatchRS. And obviously jihadwatch.org is the website. You can find everything in the links below. Make sure and use it. Make sure and sign up to it. One of the latest, I think the latest piece on that, and we're doing this just two days before the video goes out, is the U.S. Supreme Court gives Hamas-linked CAIRE a 9-0 thumbs up. And CAIR obviously is the Council on American Islamic Relations. I encourage you to delve into that, which gives some of the geopolitics, I guess, that lies behind some of the difficulties that the U.S. Faces as it engages and grapples and understands Islam, which is a massive subject. But the book that I've been delving into and enjoying is The Palestinian Delusion. Short book, 200 pages. And if you want to understand what is happening at the moment in the Middle East, I would encourage you to get a hold of a copy. Available US, UK, wherever you are. The links are in the description. Grab it. And I know you'll want to get it after this interview. But , I do want to get into modern day; what is happening? But right at the beginning, chapter two; chapter one is about the formation of Israel. If we just go on to chapter two, does religion, specifically Islam, lie at the root of the problem? What are your thoughts, Robert? And of course, you delve into this in chapter two. Yeah, absolutely, Peter. Islam is what the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is all about. If you look at the messages from Hamas, from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, from Fatah, from the Palestinian Authority itself, they are all about Islam all the time. Yet that is the one aspect of this conflict that is universally ignored by policy analysts and by policymakers in the West. Every attempt at a negotiated settlement initiated by the President of the United States or any other entity over the last 50 years has completely ignored, 100% ignored, Islam as a factor in this conflict. And yet, from the standpoint of the Palestinian Arabs, that's what it is all about, and we ignore it to our own detriment. Now, chapter two is entitled The Roots of the hatred of Israel. Hatred is a very strong word, Robert, is it not? Yes, but it's entirely accurate in this case, because what we are dealing with is not only a hatred, but what has been termed the longest hatred, that is the hatred of the Jews, which of course is not solely the province of Muslims or Islam, but, many people in the West don't realize that there even is such a thing as Islamic anti-Semitism. Yet, it is very real and it is at the roots of the problem between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs today. Now, we all hear the term Islam being one of the great Abrahamic religions, and yet there doesn't seem to be a lot of love for the Jews in Islam in the text and the history. Do you want to just let us know; because that is a different side that many people will certainly not hear in the legacy media. Yes. Islam, the Quran teaches that Islam is the third revelation after the revelation of the Torah and the Gospel. That is the core scriptures of the Jews and the Christians, and that it confirms the message of the Torah and the Gospel. And that Moses and Abraham before him, and Jesus after him, and all the other prophets in the Bible, in both the Jewish and the Christian scriptures, are people who taught Islam. Islam was the original religion of all the prophets. We can see this particularly in chapter 3, verse 67 of the Quran, which says Abraham was not a Jew or a Christian. He was a Muslim. And you might wonder, well, this doesn't make any sense. How could Abraham be a Muslim when Muhammad is the originator of Islam in the 7th century and Abraham is many, many centuries before that? The Islamic answer is that Islam is the original religion of all the prophets and that it was their followers who twisted their teachings to create Judaism and Christianity. The only legitimate expression of the true teachings of the prophets is Islam. And that being the case, the orthodox mainstream understanding among Muslims of Judaism and Christianity is that they have no legitimacy at all. Now, this is a very important point because, then the Quran commands Muslims to fight against and subjugate the Jews and Christians, among others. And it's in part because of their rejecting the true faith and corrupting their scriptures, although that part comes from Islamic tradition. Now, the difficulty that people have with this arises from the fact that Islamic spokesmen in the West very deceptively, frequently, refer to how much they as Muslims revere and respect figures such as Abraham and Moses and Jesus himself himself. And so Jews and Christians who are uninformed about Islam hear this and they think, isn't that wonderful? How generous and open-minded and ecumenical they are. And we should do the same. We should reciprocate by acknowledging Muhammad as a prophet. And they don't realize that the Muslims do revere and respect Abraham and Moses and Jesus and the rest of them, but as Muslims, not as they are portrayed in Judaism and Christianity. I mean, everything seems to be on the terms of Islam. I knew your book: Did Muhammad Exist? Actually, I think we need to remind ourselves of the world that Muhammad, if he did exist, was born into, which wasn't an Islamic world as we know today. It was a very different world. Yes. North Africa, the Middle East, what we think of today as the heart of the Islamic world, those were Christian lands. They were 99% Christian from Morocco all the way across North Africa and throughout the Middle East. And so it was the conquest initiated by the Arabs beginning in the 630s that ultimately led to the Islamization of those various nations and the steady diminishment of the Christian population. But, it's important to keep in mind, Peter, that the Christian population did not decline because the Christians were gradually convinced of the truth and beauty of Islam. Rather, they were subjugated, as the Quran directs, under the hegemony of Islamic law and denied basic rights in the societies that had been conquered. And the only thing they had to do to free themselves from the oppression of living with this denial of rights was to convert to Islam. And so many people did over the centuries, such that, for example, Egypt was 99% Christian when the Arabs invaded, and now it's about 10% Christian. The Christians didn't all leave. They just converted to Islam over time, because of the pressure placed on non-Muslims. Well, maybe as the world talks about repatriations, especially in the BLM movement, maybe Christians need to get some of that from Egypt. Yes. If there were real reparations for slavery and for oppression, then yes, the Christian population of the entire Middle East and North Africa would be owed an immense amount of money. But nobody's talking about that. I guess we hear the term anti-Semitism and we're told that any feeling of anti-Semitism from Islam is purely misplaced and doesn't lie at the heart of it and this seems to be this distinction between kind of rogue Islamic preachers, but actually key text and that seems, I think commentators seem to want to make a wide gap between that. Yet, as you point out, this term anti-Semitism, it lies right at the basis of Islam from 1300, 1400 years ago. Yes, absolutely. The Qur'an says in chapter 5, verse 82, that the people who are most intense in hostility to the believers will be the Jews, as well as the polytheists. Now, what this works out to in practice is that the Jews are the recipients of the most hostility from the Muslims. This is also because this is not an isolated passage, but the Quran is full of passages depicting the Jews in a negative light, depicting them as schemers who plot against the plans of Allah himself and try to foil them. Who crow about the limits on the power of Allah, saying Allah's hand is chained. That's chapter 5, verse 64. They were transformed into apes and pigs by Allah for their disobedience. That's chapter 2, verses 62 to 66, rather. Chapter 5, 59 and 60, and 7, 166. and many, many, other passages all the way through the Quran depict the Jews as being rebellious against Allah and essentially enemies of Allah. Then the Islamic tradition is even worse and the Jews are depicted as plotting against Muhammad, trying to kill Muhammad, being massacred by Muhammad and punishment for their plots to kill him. Jewish woman poisons Muhammad and this ultimately leads to his death and so on. They're the real villains of the entire tradition. And this carries through to the modern age where Judaism and Jews are so stigmatized in the Islamic world that several ex-Muslims have spoken about moving to America or moving to Europe and encountering actual Jews for the first time and being shocked that they were not evil, horned creatures, devils in human form, trying to disrupt human society in every way, but just ordinary people like everybody else, some good, some bad. And they had no frame of reference to understand this, because Islam is so unanimous and monochromatic in depicting them as evil. I think if someone is watching this as a Christian, they will understand the Bible as the text that they live by, which is full of stories, explains things, not really chronological, but actually, you can read it and you can grasp a lot of its meaning. And that stands by itself outside the Christian traditions, really. Islam seems to be quite different. It seems to be not not only is the Qur'an actually impossible to understand, but actually seemingly is only supposedly, understandable. With a wealth of other writings, which seems to confuse things massively for anyone coming from a Christian background or from the West. That's right, Peter. The Qur'an in the first place is written, in many cases it tells the stories that it tells. In a way that makes it clear that it assumes that the hearers have heard them before and are familiar with the general outlines of the story. So, it leaves out important aspects of the stories, and many times it is speaking about incidents, and events, and not explaining what incident or event is involved. It's as if you were talking to a friend and I walked up and I didn't know either of you very well and didn't know what you what incidents you were talking about, and you didn't pause to explain it to me. I would have no idea what you're what you're discussing, and that's what reading the Quran is like in many ways. So, you have the voluminous hadith literature: hadith means report and it's the reports of Mohammed's words and deeds. In the hadith literature you find what is known as the Asbab al-Nuzul which is the circumstances of revelation that tells the stories of what was going on at the time among the early Muslims. And Muhammad that led to the revelation of this or that passage of the Quran. And that's all very well, but this material comes from a couple of hundred years after Muhammad is supposed to have lived. And there's no trace of it existing before that. And so, it's an open question as to whether these things really give the circumstances of revelation and the Quran passage follows from that, or if these stories were put together in order to explain what is essentially a gnomic, elliptical, incoherent text. And that seems, the latter seems to be more likely. Some philologists like Christoph Luxemburg have noted that if you strip out the diacritical marks that distinguish many Arabic letters from each other, because there are 22 letters in the Arabic alphabet, but 16 are exactly the same character, just with different combinations of dots above or below. And so if you take out the dots and repoint it as if it were Aramaic, then suddenly it's a whole different text and a Christian text in many cases. And so, Luxembourg contends that it was actually a Christian text that was repurposed by the early Arab conquerors in order to create the religion of Islam. And they did this because this is actually the fundamental thesis of my own book: Did Muhammad Exist? They did this because in those days, religions were what cemented political unity. There were no parliaments or constitutions in this era when Islam arose. And you had two great powers in this region, the Byzantine Empire, which was Christian, and the Persian Empire, which was Zoroastrian. They were held together by those religions. The idea was that to be a Roman citizen at this time, a citizen of the Byzantine Empire, meant that one was a Christian and adhered to the tenets of Orthodox Christianity. Consequently, the non-Christians were not considered to be fully citizens of the empire. And this is another story, but it was the Christian identity that was the cement that held the empire together. So, the Arabs amassed a great empire, conquering massive expanses of territory, and then they developed a religion to hold it all together. And because these were warriors who wanted to expand and defend and strengthen their empire, they made their religion belligerent, aggressive, martial, warlike, expansionist, and so on. I think in chapter two, you talk about that we all know of Muslims praying to Mecca, and only then Allah can really hear the prayers properly. But you talk in the book about initially it was facing towards Jerusalem. So, was this just Muhammad wanting to be accepted? and then later on, of course, or at that time, Muhammad wanting to be a prophet. Kind of, in my thinking, that's sheer arrogance, thinking you can be a prophet to a religion you come across. Those concepts of him wanting to be a Jewish prophet, but also praying towards Jerusalem, those are two facts that seem to be missing in any dialogue today. Yes, well, it does seem as if, at least according to the canonical traditional Islamic story; that is of questionable historical value. But there's no doubt that Muslims believe it; that Muhammad taught that he was a new prophet in the line of the prophets of the Bible. And that consequently he was the new prophet of the Jews and a new prophet of the Christians. And both groups said, you're not. The Jews said, you're not Jewish. You can't be a Jewish prophet. And the Christians said, Jesus said: it is finished on the cross. We're not looking for a new prophet. And so he was rejected by both. And this has led to the kind of cognitive dissonance that the Quran says that the Jews and Christians, the Christians in particular in chapter five of the Quran will be rightly guided if they follow the gospel. And yet the Gospel does not confirm the teachings of the Qur'an as the Qur'an insists, and it insists that it confirms the teachings of the Torah also. And so Islamic spokesmen, Islamic scholars throughout the ages have accounted for this discrepancy by claiming that the Jews and Christians corrupted their scriptures. And so, they maintain that Muhammad is indeed a prophet in the line of the biblical prophets, but that it's the Jews and Christians' fault for not recognizing him. They twisted their scriptures to erase the congruence so, that people would not see that the Quran confirms the Torah and the gospel. A s a result, the Jews and Christians are portrayed as these incredible renegades and rebels against God who have dared to tamper with the very word of God that he gave them, and created false religions of their own making. And so here again, they have no legitimacy. I do want to get on to current day but, I want to there there's another concept that comes out in your book which is a widely misunderstood word and that's the word jihad, and we are told jihad is inner struggle. It's a spiritual struggle between yourself trying to be right and to be good and live correctly. Yet, jihad is a term that's used in violence all across the world. What is this term, jihad? The primary understanding of jihad in Islamic theology is warfare against unbelievers in order to bring them under the hegemony of Islamic law. The confusion arises from the fact that jihad means struggle, and there are as many things that are referred to as struggles in Arabic as there are in English. And so you can have great struggles and small struggles. You can struggle to be on time for appointments when you're chronically late, but you can also have a great struggle between civilizations, such as World War II or something. Now, in the Islamic realm, it's the same thing. The Islamic Republic of Iran has a department of agricultural jihad, which doesn't involve blowing things up on farms. It involves trying to struggle to increase the efficiency of the farms and their fruitfulness. Whereas in Islamic theology, the principal meaning of jihad has to do with this warfare against unbelievers. So, here again, Islamic spokesmen in the West frequently confuse people. They're trying to confuse them and make them complacent about the jihad threat by saying jihad just means struggle. And it's about struggling to better yourself. And they don't tell you that Muhammad said the warfare against unbelievers is the highest understanding of jihad, that there's nothing greater than jihad in which one loses one's life and then is rewarded with paradise. In the book, you use a number of examples of what we would call hit preachers. This is in 45, the Hamas deputy minister of religious endowments on Al-Aqsa TV 2010 said: the Jews suffer from a mental disorder because they are thieves and aggressors. A thief or aggressor who took land or property develops a psychological disorder and pangs of conscience because he took someone that wasn't his. And then the next page, you have a from 2018, a program on Palestinian Authority television saying people could be deluded or think that they have no way out with the Jews. The liberation of this land is a matter of faith, which will happen despite everyone. And then the next page up, the Jews are treacherous and conniving cheaters. But again, the argument, many of the guests I have on would not look at Islam as an issue, as a problem. And they would simply say those are misguided, radical preachers, and they don't understand the true, beautiful nature of Islam. How do you speak against that criticism, I guess, that you're maybe picking things out and you're looking at these preachers that actually don't understand Islam, really? Well, in the first place, I find it difficult to believe that people who have committed their lives to understanding Islam correctly would not understand it correctly. While non-Muslims who've never picked up a Quran or have any idea what it says, they understand it perfectly well. Islam is kind of funny in that way that the more you know about it, the less you understand it. And the less you know about it, the more you understand it. We see this with non-Muslim politicians all over the West who assure us with immense confidence that Islam is a religion of peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. Those are actually the exact words from Hillary Clinton a few years back, but many, many other politicians say exactly the same thing. And I know that Hillary Clinton doesn't have the first foggiest idea of what the Koran teaches, whereas I, who have read the Koran dozens and dozens of times, committed a great deal of it to memory. Published a translation and commentary of it that's my own, and have studied Islamic theology for 40 years, now. They would say, well, you don't understand Islam at all. And even more to the point, these Muslim clerics who've attended Al-Azhar or other prestigious Islamic institutions and and spend their whole lives trying to understand the Quran and the Islam properly, and they don't get it at all. So, in the first place, it's absurd. But in the second place, what these people said that you quoted, like the fellow who said the Jews are treacherous, conniving, cheaters, that's just Quranic theology. If you read what the Quran says about the Jews, just get a Quran, don't even read the whole thing. Get one with a good index and read all the passages about the Jews. And you will see that every last one of them is negative. Every last one of them portrays the Jews as scheming and conniving and cheating the righteous people. And so this is the prism through which these clerics see the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They understand it through the lens of the Qur'an, because they believe that the Qur'an is the perfect word of the perfect being that is valid for all times and all places in all situations. They see the world today and they see Israel and the Palestinians. And the first place they will go to understand all that is the Quran, because they would trust Allah over any human authority, telling them what the conflict is all about. The Quran tells them over and over that the Jews are evil and enemies of Allah. So, they see Israel and they think, here are the evil Jews who are enemies of Allah. Even, the fact that they refer to Jews and not to Israelis or to Zionists or some other term of that kind indicates that they're seeing this through theological principles. And those theological principles are deeply anti-Semitic. Well, bringing us up to the present day, for over 2,000 years, the Jews did not have their homeland there in the land that is Israel. And it was under all different, we'll not go into the history, all different, I guess, occupying forces or other forces. And then 1948 happens and the Jewish homeland, modern day Israel, is founded again. And immediately, and this is chapter three, you talk about the jihad of 1948,which is an interesting term. Why that title? Well, the whole thing is a jihad from 1948, from before 1948, when the Zionist settlement began in the late 19th century. Even before that, because there there were always Jews in the Holy Land, and they were always subject to sporadic, periodic attacks. Now, after the Zionism began, these attacks intensify because in the first place, the Ottomans were alarmed when they owned the land that the Jews were moving in, because they thought that it would threaten their hegemony over it. Then when the Ottoman Empire fell, the League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations, gave Britain the mandate for Palestine to establish a Jewish national home. Now, why did the Arabs object to a Jewish national home? There were already large Arab states right there neighboring this territory. And so it should have been and could have been. A relatively peaceful and orderly process once the Jewish national home was actually founded. After World War II, Germany lost massive territories in the East because it fought a war of aggression and lost. And for reasons of national security, the Poles, the Soviets, and the French in the West took various territories from the Germans. The Germans who who lived in those areas, were sent to what remained of Germany. Nobody complained. Nobody raises, nowadays, some right of return or speaks about occupied German territory in Poland and Russia. It would be absurd even to think about. But it's the exact same situation with Israel. The Arabs of Lebanon, of Syria, and of Jordan are identical ethnically, culturally, linguistically, and religiously with the Palestinian Arabs. There has never been a distinct Palestinian nationality. That's a propaganda creation that was designed to be a weapon to use against Israel. So, when you have Arabs who leave, they did not actually get kicked out. They left because the Arab League told them to leave in 1948, because the Arab states neighboring Israel were going to crush it within weeks. Then they would be out of the line of fire and could return home after Israel was destroyed. It didn't work that way, because Israel actually turned out to win the war. The Arab states, after that happened, could have easily absorbed these populations. And there would be no problem today, just like there's no problem in Europe today, in regard to the German refugees after World War II. And yet they did not do that because they they wanted to keep the Palestinian refugees as stateless, as refugees, as a weapon to beat Israel with. This is what became the linchpin for what I referred to as the Jihad of 1948. The Jihad, because the Quran says in chapter 2, verse 191: drive them out from where they drove you out. It's a myth, as I just noted, it's a myth that the the Israelis drove the Arabs out. It's not a fact, but it's what the Arabs all over the Middle East and the non-Arab Muslims are taught about what happened. So, that is because it triggers the divine command, drive them out from where they drove you out. They have to have been driven out for that to kick in as being applicable. So, now millions of Muslims, Arab and non-Arab, are taught that they must drive out the Israelis, because the Muslims were driven out. It's a divine command, no less than the Ten Commandments for Christians. Consequently, it is a jihad because if it were not for these religious principles that are rooted in Islam and the Quran, the problem would have been solved by negotiations decades ago. But no negotiated settlement ever succeeds, because you don't negotiate away divine commandments. Well, that negotiated settlement, two-term, two-state solution is the phrase that comes up, and you touch on that in that chapter. And we're told this is the way to fix all the problems, if only we can come up with this mythical two-state solution. Why is that then not the solution to the issue that the world faces in the Middle East? A two-state solution would require two states. That requires at least ostensibly that the Arabs have to acknowledge that a Jewish state of some size has a right to exist there and they will never accept that, because the divine command has driven them out from where they drove you out. That does not admit of half measures. It might admit of partial fulfilment that they take over half of Israel and then the other half later. But it doesn't allow for the recognition of the right to exist of any non-Muslim entity on that land. Consequently, the Jewish state could be the size of my office here. The Jewish state could be the size of a postage stamp, and it would not be acceptable, because they have have to drive them out from where they drove you out without any exceptions. The negotiation, the two-state solution would quickly become, or even eventually, even slowly become, a one-state solution. The Palestinian state would make war against what's left of Israel and ultimately destroy it. There would never be two states in that land on an indefinite basis. In your book, one of the chapters talks about the naivety of Carter. Seemingly, every U.S. president has accepted this. Even Trump has accepted; has stated that actually he sees that as the best solution. Is that simply an absolute misunderstanding that this is a religious ideology that lies at the root of all this? Yeah, absolutely. It's because nobody in Washington knows or wants to know about the power and influence of Islam over political issues. They underestimated and misunderstood Khomeini when it was the time of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979. And since 1948, they have misunderstood the Israeli-Arab conflict, because they don't understand Islam. They routinely discount it as having anything to do with this conflict. And yet, it's right there in the Hamas charter. Israel will arise and will remain until Islam obliterates it. Islam obliterates it. And yet, no policymaker, no president, not Carter, not any of the others. Not Trump. None of them have ever pondered. What does that mean until Islam obliterates it? How can Islam obliterate a country? That doesn't even make any sense to the policymakers in Washington, because they think of Islam solely as a religion, and they think of it because they come from Judeo-Christian backgrounds. The way Christianity operates in the West. They assume it's like that, and so, they have no idea of its political, aggressive, expansionist, and supremacist aspects. In chapter four, you say the Palestinians are invented. That's a very strong statement. Surely, we've had the land of Palestine back in the Roman era. That's surely 2,000 years old. So, there must be all this history and people: the Palestinians. Well, I'll tell you, Peter, you're right, and yet not. And I know you know. It's true. The Romans renamed the land of Judea, that is, land of the Jews. They renamed Judea Palestine in 134 AD. And they officially expelled the Jews from the area, although many of them stayed all the way through to the modern age. Now, Palestine was a name they had taken from the Bible, from the Philistines, the ancient enemies of the Israelites, in the Jewish scriptures. And they named it Palestine. They named Judea Palestine as a yet another taunt against the Jews as they were expelling them from the region. They renamed the region against their extinct enemies. But, there were never any Palestinians. And I would ask you, you know. You can find on YouTube, for example, the men on the street interviews, and people are even Palestinians are asked, name a famous Palestinian from history. And they all say Yasser Arafat. Okay, name another. If they were Palestinian since 134 AD, then, okay, name one. Give us one from the second century or the fifth or the 10th or the 15th or the 19th. There weren't any. It was the name of a region. It's like Los Angeles. Los Angeles is a city in the United States. And there are citizens of Los Angeles, but if we start talking about a distinct Los Angeles nationality that deserves its own state, people would laugh. It's the name of the city. And Palestine was the name of this region, but there were never any Palestinians. It was just the name of a place. The idea that it's a distinct nationality was invented by Arafat and the KGB in 1964. And they did it as a propaganda weapon because the whole world in those days was sympathetic to Israel. The Israelis, because they had faced off and defeated massive nations. Arab and non-Arab Muslim nations, and had stood against them even though they were vastly outnumbered and outgunned. They gained the sympathy of the entire world. And so, the KGB in Arafat in 1964 renamed the Palestine Liberation Organization, the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Very small change and nobody even noticed, but it was a momentous change, because it indicated for the first time in history that there was a people called Palestinians. And now the whole world accepts it and takes it for granted, but this is an invented nationality that was designed to create an even tinier people that was menaced by the massive Israeli war machine. And that would take the wind out of the sails of Israel, the tiny underdog Jewish state facing off against these massive Arab states. And it's worked very well. Even the Israelis have admitted or accepted the existence of Palestinians as a distinct nationality when there has never been such a people in history. You can go to 1948. Go to the library, read the newspapers from the day. Read the United Nations deliberations when they offered the Arabs half of the area of Israel. We're going to establish yet another Arab state and a Jewish state. And the Arabs said no, because they wouldn't accept a Jewish state of any size. Nobody ever mentions Palestinians. It's funny, because they're the center of the conflict now. And yet, in those days, it was the Israeli-Arab conflict. There was not a single mention anywhere of Palestinians. I mean, Islam does seem to have a trend of rewriting history. And in the book you talk about a number of statements and articles referring to Jesus as a Palestinian. That would be news to Jesus, because I'm sure I read in my Bible that he was Jewish. Yeah, well, obviously this is another propaganda point that's designed to curry favour among non-Muslims with the Palestinians. Even from a historical standpoint, Jesus was not a Palestinian because it wasn't until a hundred years after Jesus that the Romans renamed the area of Judea Palestine. The Gospels are very clear. Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea. That Galilee was right there next to Judea, where he grew up in Nazareth. And he says salvation is from the Jews. A very ignored statement of his. This is very clearly someone who was operating within a Jewish framework, a Jewish culture surrounded by Jews. And even the theology of Christianity is based on the theology of Judaism, that the temple Judaism before the destruction of the temple in 70 AD was based on animal sacrifices for atonement for sins. And then Jesus is presented as being, as God become man, the eternal sacrifice and the perfect atonement for sins that opens the way of heaven for the people. This is something that really doesn't even make any sense apart from Judaism. And I think Christians nowadays are getting very carried away in this Christ is King controversy that's been going on in regard to Candace Owens and the Daily Wire and so on. It risks ignoring or denying the Jewish roots of Christianity and the fundamental kinship that Judaism and Christianity actually have, despite the undeniable antagonism and the Christian anti-Semitism that was certainly operative in Europe for centuries. Well, you're right. Without Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the stories of the Old Testament, God's promised there would be no New Testament and Jesus would not be there. 100%, Robert. Just to finish off with, the last chapter is what is to be done. And it seems from this discussion that what the conflict that we see at the moment between the Palestinians in Gaza and the Israelis is just part of the wider issue of Jews and Muslims, of Islam and Judaism. So, when you say what is to be done, how do you see looking ahead? Well, looking ahead, it doesn't look good, because the American government, which is essentially the principal, if not the sole ally of the Jewish state, is betraying Israel because the Biden regime is very afraid that it's going to lose the Muslim vote, which could lose it several swing states in the November election. And end up with Biden being defeated for re-election. So, they've decided to betray Israel as a result. They're pressing for a Palestinian state. If a Palestinian state were founded, that would, as I discussed earlier, become a new jihad base for renewed attacks against what's left of Israel. They don't seem to know or care that if Israel is destroyed, then the jihadis all around the world will be emboldened like never before, and will step up their attacks in Europe and the United States. This is what we're looking at in the future unless Israel is able to destroy Hamas despite the international pressure to get it to surrender and by surrender. I mean accept a ceasefire that would allow Hamas to live and if Israel can do that then all bets are off and the post-war picture will be radically different. But right now it looks like it's going to be very tough times ahead head, both for Israel and for the West. Well, I would encourage people to get: The Passing Delusion. It's a great book and will help explain what is happening. And of course, Robert's latest book is: The Empire of God, How the Byzantines Saved Civilization. A wonderful endorsement by Victor Davis Hanson. So, if you're not sure about Robert, go to Victor David Hanson. Robert, really appreciate you coming along. Love your work over the many decades with Jihad Watch, certainly one of my go-to places on the geopolitics and deeper. Thank you so much for your time today. Thank you. Pleasure.

I must tell you that whenever I have entered this sanctuary, I am reminded of the Starship Enterprise of Star Trek….and now I have the honor of speaking from the Control Room, And I flash to Spock communicating “Beam me up Scotty”… For me, this is a metaphor of how we use the spiritual power of this Sanctuary to create a Place For Healing. A true story. When my 40 year old son Adam Goldman-Yassen was in second grade, they brought the class to the Temple Emanuel sanctuary…and they showed them around and said of these chairs back here, “ These is where the rabbis sit. And Adam, having been brought up the the Newton Centre Minyan, the precursor of Minyan Ma'Or, A LAY-LED CONGREGATION, raised his hand and asked :“What's a Rabbi?” I share that story with you because I believe Psychotherapy is the attempt to create a secular clergy to supplement what the religious clergy can offer. We are ALL the Purveyors of Hope.

In a year when Purim falls on Mosa'eh Shabbat, an interesting question arises concerning those who normally observe Shabbat until the time when it ends according to the view of Rabbenu Tam – seventy-two minutes after sundown. If the congregation ends Shabbat in accordance with the more widely-accepted view, forty-two minutes after sundown, and they read the Megila at that point, do those who normally wait until the time of Rabbenu Tam fulfill their obligation? According to their position, it is still Shabbat, and thus Purim has not yet begun. Seemingly, then, it is too early for them to fulfill the Misva of Megila reading. Rabbi Mazuz rules that people who follow Rabbenu Tam's view of the end of Shabbat may, indeed, fulfill their obligation by hearing the Megila reading before the time of Rabbenu Tam. He notes that the Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 692:4) cites a view allowing one to read the Megila as early as Pelag Ha'minha (approximately one and a quarter hours before sundown). This view is also cited in the Kaf Ha'haim (692:31). According to this view, it is certainly acceptable to hear the Megila forty-two minutes after sundown, even if one normally follows Rabbenu Tam's opinion that Shabbat ends a half-hour after that point, since it is certainly past Pelag Ha'minha, even according to Rabbenu Tam. And although the Sages enacted a prohibition against reading the Megila on Shabbat, this applies only to reading the Megila, not hearing the Megila. The one who reads the Megila in the synagogue is following the view that Shabbat has already ended, and those who follow Rabbenu Tam's view are only listening, which is not included in the prohibition against reading the Megila on Shabbat. Moreover, even according to Rabbenu Tam, forty-two minutes after sunset is within the period of Ben Ha'shemashot (the period between sunset and nightfall), and it is quite likely that the Sages did not extend their enactment to this period, and that it is thus permissible to read a Megila during Ben Ha'shemashot. Furthermore, most people who follow Rabbenu Tam's position concerning the end of Shabbat do so only as a "Humra," a measure of added stringency, while acknowledging that Halacha in truth follows the view of the Ge'onim, that Shabbat ends forty-two minutes after sundown. And many people who follow Rabbenu Tam's view refrain during this period only from acts that are prohibited on Shabbat by Torah law (as opposed to by force of Rabbinic enactment). They would not go so far as to insist on waiting until seventy-two minutes past sundown before hearing the Megila reading. Therefore, for all these reasons, Rabbi Mazuz rules that those who follow Rabbenu Tam's position may fulfill their obligation of Megila reading by hearing the reading on Mosa'eh Shabbat before the time of Rabbenu Tam. However, people who follow Rabbenu Tam's position should not read the Megila before the time of Rabbenu Tam; they may hear the Megila, but should not read it themselves until Shabbat ends according to Rabbenu Tam's view. Summary: When Purim falls on Mosa'eh Shabbat, and the congregation begins reading the Megila forty-two minutes after sundown, which is when Shabbat ends according to the commonly accepted view, even those who follow the later time for the end of Shabbat (the time of Rabbenu Tam) fulfill the Misva by hearing the reading.

On a recent weekend, our nation's 45th President and probable Republican representative, Donald Trump, took the opportunity to respond to the derogatory comments made by actor Robert De Niro. Using his much-followed platform, Truth Social, Trump addressed the actor who had called him a 'total monster' during an episode of 'Real Time With Bill Maher' which aired the preceding Friday. De Niro expressed his sentiments about Trump by placing him in a light of extreme negative traits. 'I see nothing virtuous or redeemable in him that would make me want to portray him on screen,' De Niro conceded, expressing his rather strong disapproval, while implicitly touching upon his experience as a veteran actor portraying varied characters across the board. Immersed in his critique, De Niro didn't hold back when he stated how the shock that resulted from Trump's unexpected win in 2016 wasn't just a personal feeling, but one that resonated with many others too. Seemingly feeling the weight of his words, he then launched into a comment about dictatorship, urging viewers to believe him when he exclaims, 'Take him [Trump] at his word.' Refusing to let such pointed critiques go unanswered, Trump rebutted through his social media platform, suggesting that De Niro was suffering from a 'terminal case' of what he called 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'. This, according to Mr. Trump, was the reason behind the actor's 'peculiarly unintelligent' remarks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we're going to discuss some pretty wild events. Now it's been a few weeks since our last episode and I'd like to formally apologize to you for that.  Life gets in the way. Some new adventures that I have been pursuing simultaneously. So just trying to juggle it all while we go through some changes. Here on the Adams archive as well. So thank you for sticking around. I'm glad you're here today because we're going to discuss some wild shit, and I will even give you the update on everything that I've been working on in the background. And if you follow me on social media, you might be privy to it already. So we'll discuss that, which is pretty cool. But first, we're going to discuss Joe Rogan having a guest on just one month ago, who has now been found  to have had a severed head in his freezer. Thanks  So we'll discuss that,  obviously.  The next thing we're going to discuss is going to be the bill that may make TikTok unavailable in the United States as it quickly advances in the House. Now, this isn't a new idea. This is something that's been discussed before. This is bills that were presented by Donald Trump prior to this. This is no new conversation, but we'll discuss why it might be interesting in the conversation today.  After that, we're going to have a discussion about some deeper and a little bit darker topics.  And as always, the more you stick around, the darker and deeper things generally get. So as we segue from those conversations, we're going to move into a conversation about a few more recent celebrities that are exposing the elites the same way that  Jeffrey Epstein did. Now, in a couple of different manners, one calling it out in a way that is  seemingly,  I would say positive, you know, positive in the meaning that they are not a part of it, and the other  being a part of it. And you may know these names, one being the famous boxer Ryan Garcia, and the other being P. Diddy.  Some pretty crazy stuff going on there, which is  Stuff we'll get into. I'll give you a brief synopsis, which is the fact that Ryan Garcia, famous boxer, young,  good looking dude, 200  something boxing matches, unbelievable boxer, has had a recent tirade on X where he just goes off about Bohemian Grove, saying that he was tied up by guys in black robes and made to watch some horrific events.  Again, at Bohemian Grove. So. pretty crazy stuff. We'll look at the tweets, we'll look at the videos that he actually talks about these things, and that will move us into a conversation about P Diddy. P Diddy is having a more recent judicial situation where a former producer that he worked with, Lil Rod, seems to be the all time worst rapper name ever.  It almost seems satirical, but I digress.  Lil Rod  has filed a lawsuit against P. Diddy as well as Universal Records and a bunch of other people in association with what seems to be a honeypot Trap, similar to what Jeffrey Epstein was doing. And they actually named Jeffrey Epstein in the doc documents in the court documents of this 73 page document, which I'll actually walk you through. I have it. I highlighted that I went through it, did my research for you guys. So I will share all of that with you as well in the show notes today. So you can actually take a look at it. All right, then.  That's it. All right. So that will be our discussion for today. Go ahead, hit the subscribe button, leave a five star review. And before I jump into it, let me tell you what I've been up to. So I have recently launched the pre sale of my new company called Ronin and Ronin is a Faraday goods company. And you might say, what the hell is a Faraday Goods Company? And that's a good question, because I didn't know what it was up until four months ago. Four months ago, I did a deep dive, and you may have recalled the episode that I did on 5G and EMF radiation. And ever since then, it's just been bothering me. The, the amount of data that we discussed, the amount of harmful effects of these things, and, and also,  Simultaneously, while I was doing that, we started to hear more and more about it. Joe Rogan's been talking about EMF radiation. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been talking about Wi Fi radiation poisoning. 5G's been talked about by people like Andrew Huberman, who's also talked about EMF radiation from your cell phone. So, Faraday products are products that protect you from the EMF radiation that's happening all around you all of the time. Very likely on the thing that you're listening to right now is also doing this to you, which has, has very harmful effects, including cancer causing blood clots, DNA damage, tons and tons of things like that. And there's only one way to protect yourself. And it's called Faraday products and Faraday products are a specially lined material that  Pretty decently difficult to source. And so you can find apparel, you can find hats to protect your, your, you know, most important asset. There's a lot of different utilizations for these things,  but what Ronan will be doing is we'll be offering EMF radiation protection.  Apparel and hats, starting with hats. Okay. So we'll be coming out with 10 foil hats, kind of like tinfoil hats, but a little bit better. And these will be baseball hats and beanies that will protect you from EMF radiation. We'll also be coming out with Faraday backpacks. Now, again, I said, there's a couple of uses for Faraday products. One being apparel and protecting yourself from wifi radiation and EMF radiation from your cell phones and 5g. The other being that it completely shields all inbound and outbound communication signals. So, one thing that we know about this cell phone that we all have right here is that it's tracking you everywhere that you go.  Who's using that information you might ask? Well, corporations, governments, and even just nefarious types of individuals all around the country and the world. They'll track you, they'll take your data, they'll steal your private photos and videos and leverage them against you, they can steal your credit and debit cards, they can do all sorts of atrocious things,  unless  you have a Faraday device. Product to put that in.  So Ronan will be creating backpacks, Faraday backpacks in which you drop your laptop, your cell phone, your iPad, your wallet, whatever it is, and it completely shields all inbound and outbound signals, making you  just basically vanish from all of those tracking technologies that are following you every single place that you go.  Alright, there's a limited time pre sale of these products. I do not have them in my possession. I am ordering them in an initial pre sale order for you guys. And it's only going to be people who follow me on social media and people who buy them. Listen to the podcasts that are available for this presale. Okay? There's limited spots available. I already did the presale launch on Instagram and a few other social media, so there's a few spots left that I wanted to get out to you guys as well. So I'll include Ronan's presale link in the show notes for you. I've never promoted basically anything on this podcast, and I don't know how many episodes I never ask for you guys to, to, you know. Support some outside company, but I will ask you to support my company, and I truly believe in the mission that Ronan has, which is going to be to create harmony between the harmful technology and the pace of innovation and technology today, and actually providing you with a healthy lifestyle surrounding those things that we're not just going to get rid of. Okay, so I do ask you if you are interested in these things, go order the presale. It'll be the first thing in the show notes. Go check it out. Click that link, join the presale launch, and I would appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. All right, that's what I got for you right now. Now,  without further ado, let's jump right in.  Into it,  the Adams Archive.  All right. The very first topic that we're gonna be discussing today is going to be  that Joe Rogan had a guest on his podcast just one month ago, who has now had been found to have a severed head in his freezer,  along with a torso in a bla or a blue. bin that he was toting around that there's photo evidence of him Toting this bin around through a door. So let's go ahead and read this article And let's find out what this is really about now the individual in question here  with somebody who is a former,  former inmate, and he's, was on the podcast with Josh Dubin, and I've actually loved the podcast with Joe Rogan and Josh Dubin, where essentially what he does, Josh Dubin is a advocate and a lawyer who basically brings on people who are wrongful convictions. and gets them out of jail and then starts this conversation about wrongful convictions and, and how a large percentage of individuals who are in jail right now could very well be innocent. And so they, his organization does an amazing thing, which they go through all of the, the different cases that they're sent. They do some deep dives into the information that are there, and then they help get these people out, which is an amazing thing. I love the work that Josh Dubin does,  but.  Maybe in this instance, they should have left this guy in jail. Okay. So Sheldon Johnson, a former Joe Rogan show guest is a 48 year old youth counselor for the Queens defenders who spent 25 years in prison for attempted murder and robbery.  And he was introduced on the Joe Rogan experience in February by his friend,  Perlmutter Center from Legal Justice executive director, Josh Dubin.  And he was saying that he was a marvelous human being who was wronged by the system. Johnson was also photographed shaking hands with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.  However, less than a year after his release from prison, Johnson was arrested in New York on Thursday after police found a severed head in his apartment freezer and a torso stashed in a bin. The  victim, identified as 44 year old Colin Small, spent time in the same prison as Johnson and may have had a beef with him, according to the New York Post. Small was reportedly heard by neighbors pleading for his life on Tuesday evening before several gunshots rang out. In security footage following the incident, Johnson could be seen carrying cleaning supplies in a blue bin to the apartment where Small's remains were found, before leaving in a blonde wig.  Great disguise.  Rogan received criticism from viewers when the episode with Johnson aired with critics accusing Rogan and Dubin of downplaying Johnson's violent criminal history.  Very  interesting  Now, I'm pretty sure I've listened to this episode I know I've listened to several episodes with Josh Dubin and again really like the work that he's done I'm not sure if this is the individual that I'm thinking of that I listened to last  But I'll definitely go back and listen to this one because this is a wild situation, right? It's like Even if this guy wasn't guilty and maybe this is the argument that could be made around this is that jail prison time  Makes you a terrible person it can find you it turns you into an animal All you are is surrounded by people who are violent criminals who are absolutely the the  And even, and this isn't to detract from the fact that there are wrongful convictions, and that the for profit prison system is the absolute worst thing in the world, that causes hundreds of thousands, if not millions of families a year to be in agony, agony,  for no good reason. I've stated my positions on the justice system before,  as somebody who was, you know, planning on going into the justice system and becoming a lawyer, criminal defense lawyer, my take on the entirety of this. And the reason I wanted to go be a criminal defense lawyer is because I don't believe in the justice system in the way that it stands today. I believe there's so many wrongful convictions. And I feel like even the ones that are convicted, are generally convicted for profitable corporations, and not because it's a true way to help them better themselves and their lives and be a better person for themselves. In society. I don't think that happens. I think there's a very, very marginal percentage of people that come out of jail as a better person or come out of prison as a better person as when they went in there.  I just don't think it happens. There's no system, there's no processes in place that cause that to be the case. There's no reform that's happening. It's a place to essentially imprison people, to throw them in a jail cell and allow them to be a number that corporations can profit off of. And so, to me  In this situation, let's go back to the original discussion being had here, which is that in this situation, even if he wasn't guilty here, even if he wasn't an attempted murderer, as he was convicted for prior to him getting out for a wrongful conviction, they very well, in prison, could have made him this way, just shown by the fact that the person that he went after and murdered was actually somebody that went to jail with him, went to prison with him. And so, that to me, it shows that like,  It didn't help, did it? Even if he, and let's just say he wasn't the person who committed that initial crime, it made him the type of person that they made him out to be to begin with. Even if he wasn't. And he probably was, now that we know he's this type of, he's got this in him. That's some gangster shit, but  for sure, for sure, Seems like he did this one. I don't think he's getting out of this one at all. All right. So a pretty wild situation. I wonder what this I wonder what Joe Rogan's response will be to this because that's a not a good look for Josh Dubin. I wonder what Josh Dubin's response to this as I wonder if he's come out and had some some conversations because Joe Rogan as there's very few guests that Joe Rogan has said or had on consistently. Joe Rogan has Josh Dubin on his podcast at least once a quarter.  And he says that he does that because he believes in the cause. He says that he does that because he believes that there is a injustice happening in our justice system. Absolutely is. And I agree with him 100%.  This isn't a good look though.  There's probably, there's probably I don't know, a hundred situations that could have been bad that couldn't have been this bad of a look for them.  So anyways, wild situation. I'm sure there's going to be more information that comes out in this. There was some photos that leaked that showed this,  Interesting stuff. So  I didn't go and find any clips. I doubt there's going to be anything that like alludes to this or is even interesting compared to this. But, I would say you should still go check out Josh Dubin's situation and his organization that he leads there. Because they still do good stuff despite, I don't know,  getting a man out of prison who severed another man's head.  Not a good look.  Anyways, all right. So the next thing that we're going to discuss here is going to be that there is a new bill looking to ban tick tock  and, and it says the measure gained the support of house speaker, Mike Johnson on Thursday and could soon come up for a full vote in the house. I don't know why I said vote like that vote. Podcast when this happened. A couple years ago, and I'll tell you my position on this. I haven't read really much into this. We'll read it together and we'll, we'll kind of have a real reaction for you here. Cause I don't know the context of this bill or why they're trying to pass it  personally.  I do know that the last time it was because there's like military and, and espionage happening in there and situations where they're tracking our military members and leveraging the data against them. And, and they believe that it's a security issue with our own civilians, that they're gathering all this data and they're, they're infiltrating our youth and putting in all of these themes of like terrible  societal constructs that are, are degrading our society as a whole.  I don't disagree with any of those, but I also don't think that tick tocks the only one doing that and I also think that if our government is going out of their way to pass a bill because they're concerned about the security measures and the spying and the,  the, the utilization of data weaponization of data, right? So if our government's concerned about China weaponizing tick tocks data against our citizens and surveilling us.  utilizing that technology. What I should be far more concerned about and what you should be far more concerned about is the fact that our government uses every social media platform to do the very same thing. They just don't like it when other people do it to us too. It's like, if they're concerned about other other governments weaponizing social media against our citizens,  it's because they're already doing it. It's because they know what they can do with that. Information and we already know that they're connected, right? We already know the information came out about the FBI connections with Facebook Instagram Surrounding the election. We already know that they essentially had the the twitter files and stuff you know after the twitter files were released that they were working with all of the three letter agencies and the government organizations and the White house and they all had a basically a secret email thread where they were telling people a specific post to take down and I'm sure several of mine were one of them Absolutely, because the second I posted a video about  Hunter Biden and the whole situation, I think I pulled it from InfoWars, and I reposted it on my Instagram, I was vanished, gone. So shadowbanned for I think about seven or eight months. It really like crushed my momentum. With the podcast with the Instagram with everything very disheartening it hurt my feelings a bit But I bet say about eight months you couldn't search my account. You couldn't find any of my videos there would get no view It was terrible. I had like 30 something thousand followers at the time. It wasn't like I did nobody followed me. It was pretty wild  But anyways, let's go ahead and read this bill. That's my take on it is essentially if they're concerned about it Somebody else doing it to us. It's because they already know and are doing it ten times worse than what they're doing it They're thinking China's doing it to us for right. Anyways, a bill that could lead to the popular video sharing app. TikTok being unavailable in the United States is quickly gaining traction in the house as lawmakers voiced their concerns about the potential for the platform to surveil and manipulate Americans. Could you imagine a government surveilling and manipulating American citizens with social media platforms?  No way.  Say it ain't so. We better get that TikTok out of here. Because there's no way our American social media platforms do that to us. It's only those Chinese communists over there that that surveil and manipulate Americans with social media.  The measure gained support of House Speaker Mike Johnson and could soon come up for a full vote in the House. The bill advanced out of committee Thursday and unanimous bipartisan vote 50 to nothing. Wow.  I find a another bill that's passed like that in a while. The White House has provided technical support in the drafting of the bill. The White House Press Secretary Kain Jean Pierre said that TikTok legislation still needs some work to get to a place where the President, Joe Biden will endorse it.  Yeah, because you know, if you go read that bill right now, it's probably like, yeah, we'll ban TikTok and we'll also allow another 3 million immigrants to come into our country and also vote.  The bill takes a two pronged approach. First, it would require ByteDance, which is  based in Beijing, to divest TikTok and other applications it  controls within 180 days of enactment of the bill. Or those applications will be prohibited in the United States. Second, it creates a narrow process to let the executive branch prohibit access to an app owned by a foreign adversary if it possesses a threat to national security. It's an important bipartisan measure to take on China, our largest geo geopolitical foe, which is actively undermining our economy and security.  I think we're actively undermining our economy and our security.  Just as much as China is. Our critics also claim the app could be used to spread misinformation beneficial to Beijing. Former President Donald Trump attempted to ban TikTok through executive order, but the courts blocked the action after TikTok sued, arguing that actions would violate free speech and due process rights.  Hmm. So interesting that all these things that Donald Trump tried to do four years ago Biden's trying to do now, build a wall. Don't do that. Well, now Biden's saying that we should build a wall. Ban TikTok. No, don't do that. Oh, well, now Biden's trying to ban TikTok. It's like everything that Trump foresaw and tried to attempt to do.  That was, Like defaced and demeaned by the Democrats is now being enacted as if it was their own idea. Just like how in the State of the Union Address, Joe Biden was sitting there acting like he wanted immigrants to not immigrate.  Jump over our border. Like  basically saying we're, we're going to protect our border. Like, Oh really? Cause you were the very person that allowed this to happen over the last two years. And now that we're coming up on an election and we have  essentially the same amount of illegal immigrants that have entered our country as the total population of 33 States.  That's how many immigrants that we have in our country today is the, They total up to the same amount of population that we have had over our borders in the last, since Joe Biden started in office, 33 states worth of populations of individuals that are now in our country, undocumented, illegal aliens.  Hmm.  Critics also claim that the app could be used to spread misinformation beneficial to Beijing. TikTok raised similar concerns about the legislation gaining momentum in the house.  This bill is an outright ban of TikTok, no matter how much the authors try to disguise it. This legislation will trample the First Amendment rights of 170 million Americans and deprive five million small businesses of a platform that they rely on to grow and create jobs, the company said. Yeah, I really don't think that  TikTok cares about the First Amendment, to be fair. The bill's author, Republican Mike Gallagher, the Republican chairman for the Special House Committee, focused on China, rejected TikTok's assertion of a ban. Rather, he said it's an effort to force a change in TikTok's ownership. He also took issue with TikTok urging some users to call their representatives and urge them to vote no on the bill. I did see that, that there was a big there was like a, a, a notification on TikTok,  That's having all of the users of TikTok send  or call their representatives. It says the notification that urged TikTok users to speak up now before your government strips 170 million Americans of their constitutional right to free expression. The notification also warns that the ban of TikTok would damage millions of businesses and destroy the lives of countless creators across the country. Today, it's about, it's about our bill, and it's not intimidating members considering that bill. But tomorrow it could be misinformation or lies about an election, about a war, about any number of things Gallagher said. This is why we can't take a chance of having a dominant news platform in America controlled or owned by a company that is behold of the Chinese Communist Party and their foremost adversary. Now, I don't disagree there. I just don't think that's the sentiment of this.  I just think that if you were concerned about that, you just, you know, honestly get rid of all social media platforms. Our world would be much better.  And I, this is an avid user of social media. That's how I've grown my podcast. That's how you know about me, likely.  Get rid of it. It'd be better for my children, it'd be better for your children, it'd be better for your grandchildren, it'd be better for our country. Get rid of all social media. It's a fucking cancer on our population, on our society as a whole. It's terrible for children, it's terrible for adults, it makes people lazy, it sucks up all of your time, and it hijacks your dopamine system so that you feel the need to, like,  I'm just as guilty of it, like, pffft. I try to be better about it, but just like everybody else, I'm just as guilty about it. And sometimes I sit there just and I go on tiktok. I go on instagram now and it's like just  Maybe the way that I you know, I consume my feed and and for this podcast and stuff, but it's just political bullshit  I don't know. What's more fake american politics or  Pro wrestling like it's it's so irritating even though a lot of the influencers a lot of the the top people in the Republican influencer space and the Democratic influencer space. They're all full of shit They're all being pushed to you know, say certain things about certain topics and they're all being paid to do So they're all terrible at marketing with their shitty t shirt companies. They're, they're all just repost bullshit videos that are regurgitated from other accounts without any value or narration on them. It's just trash, like,  trash, trash, trash, trash, trash. That's all social media is. And so, yeah, sure, ban TikTok, but ban Instagram and Meta and, and, you know, Axe, ban them all. Get rid of them. We don't need them. Let's, let's, let's use a fucking phone to call somebody instead, like, let's, let's go back, right? Like, you wanna talk about, you know  conservativism?  Let's get rid of those, get off my lawn! You know?  Anyways, as I get older, I just have come to accept the fact that I'm an angry old man.  And that's okay. I think that's probably the right way to be in today's society anyways.  All right.  Not sure what's going on there. Okay, cool. So let's move into the Ryan Garcia situation. So Ryan Garcia, professional boxer, has come out on, on a Instagram, or I'm sorry, a ex tirade, tirade, calling out celebrities. Dropping names like Oprah Winfrey, saying that he was tied down in a forest by men in black robes and forced to watch some horrific  acts conducted on children.  And I'm sorry, like trigger warning, whatever you want to say, there's some terrible stuff here, guys. I'm sorry. It's not like if you want to skip ahead 15 minutes, but it's, it's, it's  pretty serious stuff. So the Ryan Garcia. Pro boxer, very, very active, has a fight April 20th. Now some people are saying that he's doing this to promote his fight. I don't think so. If you hear this guy's voice and you know what he's going through right now,  I don't think that he's faking this for fight promotion. I also just don't think he's that smart. He's had 240 pro boxing matches. So he's probably has a lot of brain damage too. Now I don't think that means or diminishes anything that he's saying because everything he's saying we already know to be true. We know that. All of the celebrities and politicians and most powerful people in the world meet in Bohemian Grove, or at least they did.  Till it was infiltrated and now everybody knows where it's at and how to get there.  But at least they did, right? I think who was it?  It wasn't Kennedy. Was it Truman? I think it was Truman said that it was the most faggoty place on earth.  That is a direct quote from a former president that Bohemian Grove is the most faggoty place on earth. Excuse my 2020, you know 2010 language there's apparently we're not allowed to say that anymore, but the president said it So, you know blame him not me  anyways  And so what this, if you don't know about Bohemian Grove, it's a whole rabbit hole and I'm sure I've done a whole episode on it at least once, or had some deep dives into it. Essentially all these politicians and all these most powerful people in the world, very well known, been infiltrated, we know this happens, they all go there, they dress up in robes, they gather around this owl statue, this like 30 foot tall owl statue. Might be exaggerated, but it's probably pretty close to that huge owl statue. And then they light on fire while they're in a circle in their robes with masks on this effigy that is supposed to be a sacrifice to the owl God or Malak, right? The, the,  Baphomet, the, you know, the evil entities of the world. They're doing a satanic ritual out in the woods.  Very well known, well documented,  Go Google it. Alex Jones at one point infiltrated it with a video camera and found them doing this effigy, found it happening live. So you can go go do that research. It's there. It's real thing. Okay, so he talks about it and says that he was brought there, taken by men in black robes, and I'll let you him tell you  some of  it here. All right, here you go.  I don't give a fuck any.  Hold on one second here, guys.  Anymore  where  all right here we go. Hey, bro. All right. Talk to us. Oh, I don't give a fuck bro. They help Okay, and so this was after an initial release of, so I'll start from the beginning before I play this video for you. It needs a little bit of context. Ryan Garcia said that his phone was taken from him, that he was forced, his money was taken from him, all this stuff. He posted a video, like there was a video saying, it's kind of a weird situation, it was like, we got him, we slid his throat, something like that. On Ryan Garcia's Twitter, like they, they took over his Twitter. They said he still has his, their, his Instagram. We slit his throat, 666, Satan, the devil, whatever. It was like this super weird, random tweet that went out. Okay. That happened like 12 hours later, after some people thought he was dead. Ryan Garcia posts a video. And in this video, he looks completely disheveled. He looks like traumatized and he basically says, I'm okay, guys. I can't really talk about what's going on, but I'm okay. Just wanted to let you know, I'm not dead. Okay, then he starts to release information about Bohemian Grove and what these people did. Andrew Tate then goes on and says, let's do a live, I'll let you share your story. They jump on a live and here you go.  They made me watch little kids get raped. I don't give a fuck anymore.  Where?  Bro, they fucking took me to the fucking woods, bro, and they fucking tied I'm not fucking joking, bro. I have fucking proof, bro. I don't give a fuck.  Bro, I fucking will show you every fucking video you could ever fucking believe. Bohemian Grove is real. They fucking tied me down and they made me fucking watch, dawg. I absolutely don't give a fuck anymore. Yes, I fucking lost it. They're raping little kids. He doesn't want to take us all, so let's go. Come on, Ryan. He doesn't want to take us all. Bro, fuck this dude, dude. Who? Who? Bro, you know the higher elites, bro. You already know who they are, bro.  You know the path you're going down is dangerous, my friend. I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. They can't touch me. I'm a god.  Well, that's the first point of contention, because I care about you a lot, and I can assure you, from my own personal experience, that they can touch you, which is the worst part about it. Bro, no, they can't, bro. Alright, so come touch me, you fucking bitch.  You have proof of these things on You have proof of this on your phone? Yes, of course I do.  The fuck you talking about? Of course. If Alex could get a fucking video from the Bohemian Grove, of course I could.  Well, I have to be careful what I say, because I'm in the middle of a judicial process right now. You want me to get you out of it? Bro, my door gets kicked in if I say what I'm thinking.  Okay, well I can help you get out of it if you want. I know people. Tell  everyone at home then. Start from the beginning. When did this happen? Where did this happen? What exactly did you see?  Why have you tweeted the things you've tweeted? Let people at home understand you. Because I don't give a fuck, bro. They rate me, right?  I was two years old, they rate me.  I have proof of that too. Why have you tweeted the things you've tweeted?  So you have to honestly appreciate Andrew Tate. Like, you know, I love everybody shits on Andrew Tate. I've shit on Andrew Tate rightfully in some situations, but you have to appreciate the way he's organizing Ryan's thoughts, right? He's obviously much more articulate, much better at  having a conversation than the emotionally heightened state, at least that Ryan's in right now. So again, you have to appreciate about how he's going about this. Even saying that, you know, be careful the path that you're going down, my friend, this is a dangerous one and they can touch you. You're not untouchable. You're not a God. They can get you.  And that's the scary part, he says. So here we go. Tweeted the things you've tweeted. Let people at home understand you a little bit more. Because I don't give a fuck, bro. They rate me, right?  I was two years old, they rate me.  I have proof of that too.  That's where it all started, bro.  Jeez.  Okay, you do know there's going to be certain people who believe and I'm Ryan, you know, I like you  speaking for years, you know, there's going to be people who believe you're just saying this because you've, I don't know, had a mental breakdown or taking drugs and you're repeating some of the things you've said on the internet and they're going to not believe you unless you come at it very coherently.  Andrew, Andrew, I'll go to the fucking Romania and take a drug test in front of your face. Bro, you don't want to come here.  You don't need to remain in jail. It's not your fight camp. But I'm just asking, like, you're gonna have to tell a far more coherent story from start to finish for people to truly understand that. What you're saying happened is what you saw and that this is not some sort of episode or anything else. This is my advice to you as a brother. I'm trying to make it, if you want people to believe you, you're gonna have to come along and explain from the absolute beginning exactly how it happened, who was involved, how you got there, what car you were in, where you were standing, everything.  Of course they're gonna want that and I have all the information possible. Okay, so when you're releasing it, how you're releasing it, or are you keeping it for yourself? Because it looks like you don't want to keep it for yourself.  I don't. At the right time I'm gonna release all of it, but  at the right time I'm gonna do it.  They're already calling me to tell me to stop. I don't give a fuck, dude.  I've already had a meeting with them.  I'm gonna let you sit with that, Andrew.  With who? All right, bro. Well, I want you to know that either way, I'm praying for you, and I hope that Thank you, bro. You know, and I mean that. I don't give a fuck, bro. Alex Jones has been saying the same shit, and they try to get The only reason they can't stop me, because  they listen to the devil. I listen to God. God gave me authority. It's over for everybody, bro.  Now, again, to Andrew Tate's point, and you probably won't hear me say that very often, but  he does seem to be in some type of  Mental breakdown, but obviously, you know, just by the way he's speaking is very Emotionally heightened his voice is shaky, but wouldn't you be  Like, if you were sitting in front of, when this was going on, there's 26, 000 people hearing you talk about being raped as a child, like, wouldn't you feel that way? Wouldn't you be heightened emotionally? Wouldn't you have a mental breakdown if that happened? Like, and  again, nothing he's saying is crazy. We already know that these things were happening. We already know Epstein was real. We already know Bohemian Grove is a super creepy, weird place where they have satanic rituals.  And, you know, To, to Andrew Tate's point though, like, are you just puppeting, are you, are you just parroting the situations that you hear online? Are you just parroting what, the information that you have heard from other people talk about and just like stringing these together? But why, why would you do that?  Why, why, what would be the purpose of that? That, that's not going to help him. You know, it's, it's really not good PR for his fight that he says that, and, and honestly, no man's going to come out and say, I got raped. Like, there's very little of the, you know, Me Too situation happening in  men in highly visible spaces. And we'll find that out more with what we see with P. Diddy.  And the Lil Rod situation coming up is like, this guy was tormented for years by this man. Lived with him and didn't speak up because that's like,  not generally what  men do in this situation. It's just not.  Especially people who are very in the public eye. It's, it's, it's embarrassing, I'm sure. And, and something that you have to contend with in a different way, especially when you're highly visible like these people are. So again, you would have a mental breakdown. You would be heightened emotionally. You would stutter over your words and be, you know, use a bunch of swear words when you're talking and like,  You would do those things, regardless, so I don't think that detracts from his opinion, and I don't, you know, this guy's also had a bunch of fights, so I don't think he's like the most articulate person in the world, I'm sure he has some serious head trauma, but I don't think that means that he's not telling the truth.  And so, As we go further into this, let's go ahead and read some of the tweets that came from him.  Now there was a whole 25 minute live that he did that I listened into.  You can go to his Twitter right now and listen in. He did a full live video. You know, maybe I'll play a few minutes of that for you guys here. But  the most recent conversation that he had is, is this one, which says that I'm not talking about anything else other than fighting. He's in the fight camp right now. He has a fight in the, like six weeks or so. So. Let me start you from the timeline beginning. Here is the video that I was talking about if it's still up of him essentially saying  I'm, okay. I'm alive. They took my phone. Okay. Here's where it starts  Hey guys, it's me ryan  I'm here to explain what's going on  I'm, not in possession of my phone. I can't get access to my instagram  My cards are locked  And i'm just being real Oh, you know I'm being real, taking advantage, and I personally wanted just to send out a video to the people that love me and my fans,  family that's concerned that I'm okay. I'm not dead.  I believe in Jesus. All those are lies. And, you know,  in jail, they're blocking my cards. I can't access my money.  Nobody's hitting me back.  I don't know what's going on, but just know I'm okay, look. He was being targeted by some organization or some group of people that are obviously somewhat powerful if they can get into all of his accounts, if they can freeze all of his bank accounts, if they can get into all of his social media accounts, if they can cut off his communication with everybody at one time. It's obviously a pretty powerful entity, right? It's not just some random guy next door. And you see the look on his face. He looks, like I said, disheveled. He looks concerned. He looks like meek, almost.  Which is not generally the case for a guy with 250 pro boxing fights. Like you just hear it in the sound of his voice. He sounds a little scared. Which rightfully, if somebody goes onto your account and says they slit your throat, it freezes your bank accounts, all that stuff at one time. So, and this is where it all started. This is where it all got triggered to, to begin. And it sounds like from there, he's just like, all right,  And he's going to just say everything that happened that he's been holding back in fear of these organizations that are potentially going after him. And that's speculation, but that's what it seems like to me. It seems to be some, you know, you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to kind of take that out of the context of what's happening.  Now he posted a bunch of other things.  that all got deleted. Now, I don't know if he deleted them. He says that they got deleted off of X, but I do have those tweets and I'll read them to you. It says, if they post my phone, I will post on someone else's.  It's in plain sight. It's trying, I'm trying to screen record the rules of devil worshiping and they are deleting it. Can someone DM me their account info so I can tweet? They are going to attempt to stop me. I'm going to set up a drive a live drug test to prove that I'm not trippin I feel like crying because i'm giving everyone info. They already know but they refuse to believe do you want proof now? I'll get it asap  he said  If they take my phone, I will post on someone else's. More you ask, or what's up? It's that three Disney workers, school athletic, he posted screenshots. Three Disney workers, school athletic director among 219 arrested in Florida human trafficking sting. Wow. And that was posted from 2023 September. So just a few months ago, he said, please help send prayers. I'm calling all prayer warriors. You think you'd be you think you'd be quiet if they killed kids and showed you and did it over and over. I'm done. I have lost it. And so have you. My pain is unbearable. I can't describe I will be killed soon. Hurry find you think you you think you'd be quiet if they killed kids and showed you and did it over and over and over.  I'm done. I've lost it. And so have you. My pain is unbearable. Wow.  So, pretty dark stuff there. But then he went on to say that they auction off kids. That's one of the next tweets.  He goes on to show that a video from a Bohemian Grove situation.  He starts saying that I didn't kill myself. I love God and my kids. I love Jesus. I'm healthy and I have no medical issues for the record. I'm with my wife, Drea. All the other stuff is cap.  For you who are not Gen Z, like me, cap means a lie.  You're welcome.  Let's see what this is. Says I'm changing. Let's see. He brought up the Vatican as well as Oprah Winfrey.  He said, how many more kids will y'all allow this to happen to? And then he posted some posts from the Catholic church abusing children. He said, why do you think that in all scary movies, they are always use a priest from Catholic churches because they are molesters and they allow you to disrespect God. Hmm.  So wait, I'm the bad guy for calling out an institution that has an unbearable or unbelievable amount of rape and molestation. And I'm the bad guy. I'm the crazy one.  So everyone's getting real quiet now.  Interesting. He, he, he also said something along the lines of, and I say along the lines of, but I'm just reading it verbatim. They actually have the files on Jesus, the Ark of the Covenant, the giants, the clones, the aliens files on everything. They are the ones.  That let me in. Now, again, sounds pretty crazy in the way that he's going on this, like, tirade, back to back to back to back to back tweets. You know, I have my beliefs on almost every one of the things that he said there, which are definitely reasonable. Clones, check, we know that. Ark of the Covenant, super weird and interesting situation there.  The Giants, we talked about the Nephilim.  Alien files, we know that to be true. But when you put it in this unarticulate way, where it just sounds like you're ranting like crazy, it does sound crazy. Because when you put it all together, it is crazy. But  it is crazy when you put it all together. But bitch, we live in a crazy world. All of these things have a potential of being true.  But he's just not very good at discussing it.  At least in a way that's believable, right?  So he keeps going on and on talks about Gaza, all of this and that. So, so after a little bit, he does have a live that he's like, all right, come on here. Ask me anything. I'll play a little bit, just a couple minutes of that for you guys and just kind of  go move around on the video. So I'm letting anybody ask any question for  the time being to whenever we get off. How do we start this? People are coming in. People are coming in.  Hello guys. I don't know how to run a space. I don't even know how to do this. How do you do this?  How do I let people speak? They said the request, how do you let them speak? Oh, all right. So let's get this part.  I'm, I'm, I'm going in on everybody.  Wait, Brian, so to all the people that are asking why you don't show the clips, can you answer?  No, there's, just so you know, there's 674, 000 listens to this audio.  So it's not like this is some random weirdo, right? This guy's very, very well known celebrity athlete. Is there a question for them?  I can't show the clips. They're already out there. I mean, there's so many clips. It's unbelievable. I know everybody wants me to put out my evidence, but I can't put out my evidence or else they're going to come after my family. So I choose not to. Oh, you can speak on me.  Gummy,  whatever your name, Gumi.  Gummy don't want to speak.  Bro.  Oh, there you go. Can you hear me?  Yes.  Hello.  Everybody's like, yo, put the drink down. Okay, fine. I won't fucking drink, but I'm still gonna tell the truth. Sober or not. I have more balls than you.  I put my ball sack on everybody.  . They told me they're gonna, they told me they're gonna make an example on me that because I say Jesus so much, they're gonna pit me on the cross and they're gonna crucify me in the whole world and say, yep, this is what we do. This is what we do.  Hmm. So please help me out. I don't, I mean, if it's that, if that's what's supposed to happen, let God's will be done, not mine. I'm okay with that. And this is the truth. Have I lied about anything else? Nothing. So why would I lie about that?  Ryan,  I'm a father of two kids. Yes. I'm saying this because I'm worried about my children. Okay. Okay. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep clear. Ryan, listen to me. Listen to me. You know me. I've talked to you about mental health.  Don't worry, brother. Nothing's going to happen to me. Here, Patriot speaker. Yes. As I'm going to just add,  it's 25 minutes. You can go listen to the full thing. I was like, yeah, I'm serious. Why? So I'm going to commit and I'm going to do it. And I just did it. I was just like, God gave me the authority and the power to do it. And I seized it through amongst all the, the locks and all the people trying to confuse me, throw me off, say, what you're doing is a little this and that. I'm like, who cares? Watch what happens. And look at everything's and Ryan, if they think you, if they think you lying, bro. I just want to drop this on people real quick cause they don't, they don't, you know, I want to put this out there real quick cause I talk about this shit a lot.  You got an executive order right now, one three eight one eight. I'll say it again. One three eight one eight that addresses human rights abuse and human trafficking that was done in 2017 and that's why all these motherfucking people coming out the woodworks and shit. And a lot of CEOs and shit stepping down and all this shit. I got the FC names,  if you want me to start dropping them. Exactly. Oprah.  What? Who cares? I do. What do you mean?  That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And this is, this is all.  Alright, so I'll leave that to you. You can listen through that yourself. I don't want to bore you with a 25 minute Twitter space with  Some, like I said, less than articulate people discussing these things. But, but I do think that it's worth a listen. There's some value in what he's saying. Again, the delivery is not very well done. And I think that's what Andrew Tate did a good job trying to hone him in a little bit and go tell us your evidence. Tell us why we should believe you. And here's the thing too. Let's say Ryan Garcia is lying. How many celebrities with millions of followers are going out there and even driving awareness to this? So like let's say he wasn't tied down in a forest in Bohemian Grove And maybe he has some mental health issues and maybe those mental health issues are Exacerbated by getting into these rabbit holes that are very very real of very real things happening right now around the world That we know about  right we find out more about it with with P Diddy,  right? But maybe let's just say he's lying  Even if he's lying, even if he's having a mental breakdown, even if he's gone way too far down the rabbit hole and he can't handle the truth of the reality of what these people do to children.  Which is a horrific thing and it's put me into terrible, you know, like a depressive state having to do all this research on these things and having to deal with the, the, the reality that these things are real and there's very, you know, horrific things happening right now around the world. I remember when I found out about Operation Underground  Railroad  and which is the, the movie is written about and this was before the movie came out, there was documentary about Operation Underground Railroad and the things that they were doing. Now, I'm not going to get into a whole thing about the, the situation with  the owner and the guy who's depicted in the movie and all of that stuff, because there's a whole candy worms to open up their too. But I watched the documentary before I heard about it from anybody. I knew some people that were involved in these types of these types of task force and had tremendous respect for them and wanted to learn more about it. And as soon as I got done watching that,  I was so  deep in the hole.  That I would have quit everything just to go save and rescue children that I would have joined a task force I actually put it in an application with them to be a part of their their team that goes and does that It's probably still sitting there somewhere where right now and they never got back to me, which is okay, I guess  But I was ready to drop everything and I was ready to do something about it What is a more noble task than to save these children going through these things? There is very real situations There's warehouses around the world that that are Have children without social security numbers that are being literally bred for this type of situation. And it's, it's horrible, and I'm not going to take you there right now.  But, I will say that it can take you down a very dark, dark path. And you have to be emotionally and mentally stable and capable of handling the knowledge. Because once you learn that, it's very difficult to navigate the everyday world knowing that this is happening underneath the surface.  And so again, even if he's lying, even if he, this didn't happen to him, even if, let's say he's a celebrity with a lot of head trauma who's going into a mental breakdown.  I'm still glad that he's raising awareness because everything that he's talking about is very real. Even if it didn't happen to him, I don't give a fuck whether it happened to Ryan Garcia, but I do know that this happened to someone, somewhere, someone's child right now in this world at this very moment.  Who cares if Ryan Garcia is telling the truth? What I care about is that there's being awareness given to the situation, that maybe he is telling the truth. But regardless of whether he is or he isn't,  I'm glad that he's bringing awareness to this because this is a topic that should be discussed by every celebrity with every connection everywhere across the country, across the globe,  at all times, until it's rectified. And the light has been shined on the darkness enough to where it is. escapes into a deep dark hole and never presents itself again.  That is what I would want. And I'm happy that he is, he is causing this  potential for this to, to, to occur because there's very, very few celebrities, but we're actually seeing a lot more, which is becoming a theme in this situation.  There was more recently a video that came out talking about how Matt Reif and another comedian were being forced to enter the  being forced by two executives saying that they'll make them famous and all they have to do is perform a sex act on them.  That's a wild claim too. But we know Harvey Weinstein existed. We know that there's these gatekeepers in Hollywood and the music industry, P. Diddy being one of them, as we will see a little bit later. This is a very real thing, even if for adults, even if for people who want to be famous. They have to have blackmail on you. You have to become a part of their little scheme. You have to have, you know, some questionable sexuality,  and that's just the reality of the Hollywood and the music executives and the world that we live in, the high level politics, like even Madison Cawthorn talks about the orgies that were happening in Washington DC, right? We know these honeypot schemes are happening all around the world. We know that, right? This is all true shit, guys. Like this is, yeah, again, Maybe the not most, maybe not the most articulate way of putting it. But everything he's saying is true, whether it's, it happened to him or not. And so, hundreds of, hundreds of thousands of people watched this one video. 700, 000 people now have more awareness about what's going on in the world.  And again, some of those people might not be able to handle that truth. But as long as it's being talked about and discussed, they have to hide it. They have to, they have to go into some  far corner of the reality that we live in to do these things. They have to get out of the public light, the Epstein's will no longer be able to navigate the social circles that they, he did. Jeez, can't talk.  Because it's so in the public space. I write everybody knows that about Hollywood. Everybody knows that about the music industry. Now, everybody knows that about high level politics and the elites and the Virgin Islands, like the Brussels or the, you know, the Branson's and the Epstein's that like, everybody knows those things now.  And good, keep talking about it until something's done, and they go away, or they're all killed off, or they're all in jail. That's all I want, right? And so good, if you do that to children, you should have the worst things happen to you. Right. If you're a part of that, that world. Okay. So that's the situation with Ryan Garcia. There's, there's more to come. He says he's not talking about it. I'll give you one segue out of this, which is the fact that,  Well, let's go ahead and let's listen to this clip first. Then I'll segue between Ryan Garcia and P Diddy.  Cause PD is really the deep dive for today. And I'm not sure how, how long we'll be able to discuss that, but I do have a full 30 or 73 page legal documents highlighted outlines for us to discuss today about these very things. Okay. But first,  let me tell you why I started Ronin. So after learning about EMF radiation, doing the deep dive into 5g, right. Here's my, my quick little pitch for you.  The reason I started Ronin is because I looked for these Faraday products myself. Okay, I went online, I found there's, there's three or four of them that are out there. And one of them has decent design, but they're so expensive. A backpack is 850 literally. Okay. The other ones, when it comes to the apparel hats, that type of thing, their design work sucks. It was never anything I would want to wear  and also very expensive. It was 90 for a hat, which is like, I'm not fucking spending 90 on a hat, especially if it looks like shit. So, and so.  Having the background that I did, and I do I decided to, you know, I have a pretty heavy marketing background.  And so I sourced the supplies and found a way that we can create these products and create them in a way that they're going to be affordable, in a way that they're going to be a design that I would actually be confident and comfortable wearing. And, and once I have these products shipped, you will not see me on this video without a Ronin hat on my head and you will love them too, I promise. So I made affordable and Actually desirable designs with these Faraday products that I've worked alongside this manufacturer for months and months to build. And so again, I ask you, there was only a few more spots left on the initial order and I'm doing it at a steeply discounted rate. The hats, I believe are about 40 to 45. Normally they're going to be a little bit more expensive than that, but nowhere near 90. So less than half of the cost in the, in the material, to be fair, the material that's, Lined in these is somewhat expensive. And that's really where some of the cost comes from. But I do think that some of the other organizations are just taking advantage of the fact that you don't know any better. So if you get it right now, it's half the cost of anywhere else. Both the backpacks is a fifth, a sixth of the cost. It's 180 for the backpack. And it's, it's. 45 for the baseball hat  40 for the beanie. Okay, only right now though because the prices are going to go up It's not going to go up like a hundred percent and up to their prices. I promise  But I do have to make some margin on this what i'm really trying to do guys is just be able to get that first Bulk order so I don't have to spend thousands of dollars out of my pocket to get the bulk order to start doing the campaigns for you guys to get you to Get on this train because I truly believe that the effect that we can have in the country if we get any Everybody with a Faraday bag and everybody with an EMF blocking hat. One of the 10 foil hats, I believe that there will be a massive disruption in the way that we interact with technology and our health and everything will be much, much better as a result. So  I'm super excited about this. The website is being launched as we speak. Don't purchase from the website because the prices are higher than what you'll get it for at the pre sale launch. But if you do want to go check out the website and the work that I'm doing there, that's going to be launched very, very soon. It's Ronan. It's RonanBasics. com, R O N I N B A S I C S, RonanBasics. com, and you can check it all out there. All right. I appreciate you guys. I love you guys. Thank you for the support. Go to the, the website. Go to the show notes here right under where you're listening to the podcast and you'll see that it'll be the very very first link will be the pre launch sale of Ronin and I'll be tracking seeing how well you guys respond to this because again, I know my podcast listeners. I know you guys. I love you guys. I've been talking to you and for, you know, over a hundreds of hours now.  So I know you guys will love this too. And I know you'll support me. So thank you so much in advance. All right. Segway back to creepy Hollywood and music executives. Here's the video about Matt Reif. Here we go.  Comedy Kat Williams  The dark side of hollywood is finally being exposed  Thanks to one of the true kings of comedy kat williams  You know before I became wealthy in business. I actually had a somewhat successful career in stand up comedy  I was on the way up  I was invited to a meeting With some Hollywood executives along with some now famous comedian and we were offered the chance for a deal at online stardom.  But the only way to receive the contract was by sucking both of the execs off.  I immediately got up and walked to the door.  But before I could even exit, the other comedian was sucking. Both of their d k simultaneously.  That guy's name was Matt Reif.  And that's Alpha King rule number 799.  Just because someone is more famous than you,  it doesn't mean they're better.  They might just be gayer.  It doesn't mean they're better, they just might be gayer.  No, I don't think I believe this guy.  But if this is marketing, this is great marketing because I've never seen this guy's face before, but his delivery is honestly too good. It's too practiced. It's it, there's very little emotion in it. It's, it seems to me like this is, this guy's full of shit, but a pretty good comedy bit if he is nonetheless.  But.  I didn't hear that whole video all the way through. So that's, that's pretty funny.  Tom Segura and I think Duncan Trestle did a video.  Making fun of this. Like I thought everybody knew you had to suck a dick to get into comedy. Like that's just the rule. And I think Matt Reif went and like blocked the guy who posted this Dom Lucre and all of this stuff and drama. I like Matt Reif. I think he's pretty damn funny. His crowd works amazing. I have nothing against the guy. I think this is pretty funny. And Hey, if you had to suck a dick. for hundreds of millions of dollars or whatever that dude's making and you're happy to do it. I got nothing against your man.  Do  you, my friend?  It might not be more, better comedy.

In a society consumed by division, Christians everywhere are wondering how to respond to an increasingly hostile culture. Everywhere we turn, battle lines are being drawn. Seemingly overnight, culture has shifted to the point where right and wrong are no longer measured by universal truth but by popular opinion. In this series, Not Ashamed, Dr. Chappell challenges us to become passionate, unwavering voices for Christ in spite of the opposition.

Can a case built on questionable witnesses and a lack of physical evidence still convict a killer?  In the trial of Adam Montgomery, accused of murdering his daughter Harmony, the prosecution rests their case, leaving listeners to ponder the weight of emotional testimony. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins host Tony Brueski to analyze the prosecution's strategy, built largely on witnesses with checkered pasts and histories of addiction. Did the prosecution effectively paint a picture of Adam Montgomery as a brutal, unrepentant man? Dreeke delves into Montgomery's behavior, including his courtroom antics and his alleged history of violence. His refusal to testify raises questions – did it help or hurt his case in the jury's eyes? The most compelling testimony may have come from Montgomery's ex-wife, Kayla, a troubled woman with her own legal woes.  She spoke of horrific abuse at Montgomery's hands, yet also allegedly watched as he beat their daughter. How do we understand a mother caught in such a devastating cycle of violence? With no murder weapon and no body recovered, the prosecution relies heavily on the emotional impact of Harmony's story.  Was it enough to overcome the questionable credibility of some witnesses?  And if Adam Montgomery is guilty, what kind of justice is possible in this heartbreaking case?   Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

If you have the privilege of having a child ever be in your home, then chances are high you learned REAL FAST what items you *should have* hidden. Seemingly harmless, boring items, that "surely no kid will find that interesting...." but alas, everything is interesting when you're under the age of 6. So whatever it is, no matter how boring, and especially if it's sticky or permanent or non-washable.... lock it up! Probably in a fireproof save with a passcode that is not "0000."
