And joining us now is Joel Skousen, and we've got a lot to talk about. And again, Joel Skousen has World Affairs Brief,

where he gives you an update as to what he believes is happening around the world. And we're going to talk to him about that, about the wars, about the military situations that he has a great deal of insight into. And he also has joelskousen.com. And he's also running for president. And so I wanted to talk to him now as we're getting pretty close to that as to what is going on. So joining us now is Joel Skousen. Good to have you back on, Joel. Sorry it's been so long.

Well, thank you, David. Better late than never. It's always good to be with you. Well, the last time we were talking, you said that you thought you were going to get the nomination for the Constitution Party. And then it looked to me like you didn't get it. And Randall Terry got it. So tell us about your campaign for president and what's going on with that. Well, actually, I didn't ask to run.

They asked me to run in the Constitution Party. They first asked me to be the keynote speaker at the Salt Lake City National Convention in April, which I accepted. And then they called me back later and said you know we need somebody credible to run for president would you do so and i thought about it well maybe this is an opportunity to get a wider audience for my views on the history of the deep state and conspiracy and how they stole the election from donald trump and other things like that and then an interloper came in who had run as a democrat as a republican as an independent and decided to try the constitution party not a member

of the party name is randall terry he's a professional anti-abortion activist that's how he makes his living now he's been banned by the national right to life committee because of his extreme ads that he puts up on television, which really turn a lot of people off, a lot of body parts and blood and gore and saying you got blood on your hands if you have anything to do with abortion. And while I am just as strong against abortion as Randall Terry, nevertheless, I believe in taking a more pro-life message and appealing to people's better nature. But in any case, Randall Terry went to the various evangelical parts of the party in the South and the East and behind my back,

tried to perceive me or tell them that I was anti-God because when I did an abbreviated form of the platform, trying to cut it down from 40 pages to 7 pages so that it would be workable for the media i didn't put in the major section about god and other things and jesus christ and being a christian nation because i was cutting things down not because i didn't believe those things but he painted was able to successfully paint me as anti-god and unfortunately the party allowed people to do proxy voting that is that they didn't have to show up at the convention to

vote so he pulled in all these proxy votes and was able to to win over me and in response about a third of the party decided they would not, because of his unprincipled behavior, that they would not put him on the ballot. They put me on instead. So the party is split, like the Libertarian Party. I am on the Constitution Party ballot in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada, and as a write-in, a candidate in Arizona and Wyoming. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, I looked at it in Tennessee. I didn't see anything except a Green Party and a couple of communists.

I mean, literal communists. And then the usual Trump and la-la, you know. So I thought, well, I've got to find out about writing people in, see if anybody counts write-in candidates. Well, the write-in thing is rather mixed around the nation. I got to find out about writing people in, see if anybody counts that right in candidates, but, uh, well, the right end thing is, is rather mixed around the nation.

Sometimes you have to have in certain States, you have to have a certain number of electors to back you as a right end candidate to get on the ballot. So I am on a ballot in Arizona and Wyoming. Um, but not, uh, they, neither of those parties decided to put randall terry on uh and they didn't have

enough time to put me on so they put me on as a write-in but in any case it's it's a difficult process and even rfk found out it takes millions of dollars to get all the hundreds of thousands of signatures to get on the ballots and And the Democrats and Republicans and legislatures do this on purpose. To make sure that, you know, they've got a rap on what people can vote for. And so it's been a difficult process. But I'm in it for future leadership, basically. I have been giving speeches, mostly around the Western states, to people about the history of the deep state

and that will tie into what we'll talk about in war how they've been building enemies they've been building russian china from their very inception yes and how they are going to use those enemies to get us into a third uh nuclear world war coming before the end of this decade yes and when people find out that happens and that as i'm predicting they'll steal the election from donald trump again they're going to remember i was the only candidate who warned them about these things and and the only candidate with the sufficient knowledge about the deep state to be able to drain the swamp because you simply cannot tell whether or not the nsa is lying to you or the fbi or the cia unless you know the history of the deep state

and how they fomented wars on terror they created isis they created al-qaeda they did 9-11 they killed jfk they killed martin luther king they did oklahoma city bombing uh they covered up for the tw8 100 shoot down by a navy missile that went awry i mean i know all this stuff and you've got to know this stuff in order to be able to be able to confront these briefers and you know you say you know you're going to tell me this stuff you're going to get fired you know, you're going to tell me this stuff, you're going to get fired. You know, I want the truth. I don't want this propaganda. I'm too smart for that. So let's get on to what's real.

Well, I absolutely agree with all of what you said. It is absolutely the case. And, you know, when you look at running as a third party, as an independent, I was involved with the Libertarian Party back in the early to mid-90s, late 80s to early to mid-90s. And the whole purpose of it was to get out there and to get the message out, to run for president. And that's an important thing. And I tell people as I talk about rigging the election, I said,

you know, the election is rigged from ballot access on. Then the next thing they rig is access to the debates. And, of course, we saw that with the independent candidacy of RFK Jr., right? So it is heavily rigged in those areas, and they don't want you talking about these things. So, again, tell us what your message then is to the American people besides the conspiracy stuff and everything. What is it that you, the key thing I know that you want people to understand

is how the government has orchestrated this. And, you know, so I'll give you a couple of minutes here to talk about this. And I'd like to talk about the wars, which is, again, another part of this. Like she said, they want to engineer us into a world war by the end of the decade. I believe that that is part of the natural cycle historical cycle that they understand and they want to tap into that and they want to have everything basically wiped out so they can put in their new world order by 2030 that seems to be the date that they want to install this technocratic dystopia what is your message then

well i have a great deal of the normal conservative message probably a little stronger than most especially stronger than trump i want to end the fed for example the federal reserve needs to be eliminated and i want to eliminate congress's ability to inflate the money supply as well because they would you know inflation is very popular with politicians because taxation is very unpopular and cutting benefits is even less popular and so they love inflation because that's the hidden tax only the people who are in business for themselves who can raise their prices indiscriminately get away with uh escape the inflation everyone else you know pays and we are saving suffer and then we get taxed

in property tax for inflated values on our houses that really aren't inflated at all we're just paying the inflation tax twice so uh you know that's one of the things that i would do i would also of course like rfk jr i would eliminate the ability of big pharma to pay for people in the CDC and the NIA, like Fauci, millions of dollars, get them from double dipping and getting patents on vaccines. I would shut down all of the vaccine bioweapons labs. There's over 150 around the nation that are creating bioweapons suppose they have the justification that we need a vaccine for this so we got to create the weapon well why you don't even need the vaccine if you don't create the weapon that's right it's just an excuse to engage in illegal acts of bioweapon development, which our law prohibits, but it doesn't prohibit vaccine, you know, gain of function.

I would go back to in-person voting. I would make sure, because, you know, mail-in ballots are just subject to too much fraud. And in addition, you know, it's like the caucus system in Utah and Idaho that the establishment wanted to get rid of because activists the people who really care and are really knowledgeable about politics go to the caucuses and they're the best ones to determine who should represent the party but when you go to the masses you know the people who aren't really interested they just listen to the mass media and so that's why in utah we continue to have mainstream rhino republicans elected as governor and idaho and in

oklahoma when you get rid of the caucus system you put it in a primary everybody listens to the mass media yeah so we need to get back to in-person voting voter, we need to shut down the border and allow for, you know, limited immigration and where people who sponsor people again as they used to and take responsibility of those people so it's not a burden on the taxpayer. Let me ask you this, you know, because a lot of times I see this as the concerns about the border. And I think they're legitimate concerns, the wide open border that we're seeing now, the gangs and perhaps hostile international actors that are there.

That is a key thing. But I think the biggest aspect of this, I look at it as a massive welfare magnet. They have done everything they can to offer superior benefits to people who come here from foreign countries, superior benefits even to Americans. And so I always have looked at this. I remember back in the Libertarian Party, they would have questions, you know, put you on a two-dimensional map, the Nolan chart that they put up. And one of them was open immigration. And I always said, no, you have to shut down the welfare state first. And this goes back to the Cloward and Piven stuff.

You know, my concern about the borders is that if we strictly go with a law enforcement approach, you've already got Republicans who are mandating E-Verify. You've got a lot of talk about how they want to set up a surveillance scanning uh you know a high-tech uh uh type of intervention there at the border that that concerns me as a citizen i might want to get out of this country at some point as ron paul said they can they can uh walk and keep you I mean, where do you stand on that? What's your take on that?

Well, first of all, you have to get rid of the incentives, as you say, to get into the country, which are mostly welfare. But there's also that incentive to, you know, take part in the great American dream, you know, of starting your own business. And, you know, a lot of Latinos actually integrate quite well. That's right. Into our society. But there's no way that bureaucrats can determine through any amount of rules and vet properly who's going to come in. You can lie enough to fool and get past a bureaucrat. So the system that I propose is that you do have to have a wall

to keep people from skirting and coming in illegally but you make it easier to come in but only through a sponsor and that means a person who's willing to put his citizenship on the line and sponsor someone for five years or until they become citizens and take total responsibility, housing, welfare, their job, everything, so that you risk losing your citizenship if the person you sponsor coming in goes out and does a crime that you don't pay for or you don't make good. And that's a tremendous incentive.

Yes, employers who need, they're going to have to sponsor need they're going to have to sponsor and they're going to have to be and so they're going to make the best choices possible because they don't want to be liable for the misconduct of people coming in and so good people would come in but in limited numbers because of the difficulty of sponsoring and taking that liability we'd make sure that you had the best only that come in. I agree. Yeah, we have a lot of countries that will allow guest worker programs.

But then citizenship is something different. You know, you look at Switzerland, for example. You have to have lived there for quite some time. You have to have a lot of references, people saying, yes, it's a person of good character and things like that. And then, of course, there's the citizenship test, whether you know the country and its laws and support that type of stuff. So there's ways that it can be done.

Instead, what we have is something that really kind of serves a system in order to create chaos. And that is exactly what we have at the border. And that doesn't work out well for anybody. It doesn't work out for people who want to come to America and be citizens. It doesn't work out well for people who are in America. There has to be some kind of an orderly process there. But again, when you look at the welfare state, I think as long as they are pulling people with that gigantic magnet,

they're going to come over a wall, through the wall, under the wall, around the wall. They're going to get in there one way or the other if we've got the big welfare state that's there i'm all for as you point out i got a lot of hard-working immigrants into this country that have done a great job and a lot of them very conservative in their politics and um and conservative family oriented people and um so again i'm not anti-immigrant i'm just anti-chaos which is really what we've got at the border now well one of the things there's two things we need to do to really reform our country and that is we have to first of all and these are very unpopular even with conservatives you have to take away the tax monopoly that public schools have on your money. Yes, yes.

Because all education has values, and the majority on school boards or any other form should never be allowed to determine values for everyone. Values must be competing so that you go to the school that teaches the value of one. The only way to do that is to be free to take your money and put it into a school. Now, if there is any form of taxpayer minimum education, it ought to be maybe through grades one through five, and they only teach reading, writing, and arithmetic, period. No values, no social studies, none of this garbage, you know, of transgender and homosexual, you know and of course that's

coming out of the department of education because they are putting the money out there and uh directing you know whenever that that's it seems to me that's a common recurring theme that i talk about all the time the fact that washington uh just conjures money out of thin air with the federal reserve and inflation other things like that. And then deficit spending. And then they use that conjured money to bribe people to do whatever policies they want. And so they're the ones who are really driving this type of thing. I just saw that North Dakota is talking about getting rid of the property tax. And that is a key thing.

If we don't get control of the property tax, if we don't get control of the property tax if we don't get control of this out of control education spending none of us is going to have a home but you see it's all because it's been deemed a right to have taxpayer free education and i'll tell you it's killing this country because even if you taught properly no one's teaching and everyone's omitting the limitations on law by the Constitution. You know, by ignorance, people are growing up to be socialists. Yes. And they're propaganda.

They get it all in public schools. They get it all in public universities. And it's a massive spending thing. Yes. And I'm against that. I think that there ought to be freedom to spend. I mean, and conservatives protest because they love their lavish public schools. And they think, oh, well, you know, in Texas or in Utah, you know, we control it.

You don't control anything. That's right. I've been on the school board before. When you want to reform things, the lawyer sits there and tells you, no, you can't do this because of this case precedent, this case precedent. Yeah, yeah. You cannot change i just talked before you came on they had a transgender uh coach after the guy became a coach he decided that he wanted to be a woman as well and um undressing in front of the girls in the in the locker room and all this kind of stuff and the school board wouldn't fire him you know lawyers would tell me hey you can't fire this guy uh you know and all this guy so it's that type of thing we've absolutely lost control of all of this but the as you point out these tax uh funded schools are going to be the ruin

of us all that's going to be the way they make sure that we own nothing because that's the major asset of most americans is their home and we're going to lose those homes with the kind of lavish spending that they're doing i mean just look at the electric school buses that was a big deal with la la you know a million dollars a bus and uh they the the bus company went bust they went belly up with this stuff uh but there's no end to the kind of uh extravagant programs that they will do but there's no end to the kind of mischief that they will do to undermine our society. And that's really where this is coming from. And it all really initially came from the conservatives who thought,

well, we can use this to instill our values into kids. What happened was the institution got taken over by the other side, and they're instilling their values into the kids. And that's why I say you don't want to let anybody with majority rule, conservative or liberal control values it's competing conservatives have their own schools liberals have their own schools and everybody pays for what they get you see it's unjust to have people like myself who never use public schools who homeschool or you have to pay for these lavish public schools and

you know people say well it's a benefit to all of society to have an educated brother and i say no it is not because we are not educating a society we are educating a peer-oriented people who all of the bad social problems are infected in children in public schools yes and so i could make the case that all the damage to society is coming out of public schools. That isn't to mean that all kids get corrupted. But there's enough of that corruption going on that we can show that it all eman to solve the problem in this country in terms of an ignorant electorate is that we must have citizenship by qualification, not by birth. And I'm not just talking about illegals dropping a baby in the United States. I'm saying that you have your children.

If you're a citizen, they are citizens under your capacity until 18. And then they have to qualify for their own citizenship by taking a test and all the answers are available but you've got to memorize and you've got to learn them so you know what are the limitations of government what are the true fundamental rights of men and so you take a test and then you sign on the dotted line that you will not violate any of these fundamental rights properly defined and that does not include right to medical care does not include right to welfare does not include right to free education and i have in my law and government section at joelscousin.com delineate all the true fundamental rights but here's what that does it eliminates this term limits problem

you know the problem david with term limits is that electing welfare promising socialists are a dime a dozen but you try to get another ron paul to get elected and you have trouble finding constitutional conservatives to run you see so you, the term limits get rid of conservatives much more easy than they get rid of socialists, unless you have this qualified citizenship. Because then, if they try to introduce legislation that takes away someone's fundamental rights by providing welfare, they lose their citizenship. They're automatically disqualified from congress and so that is the barrier that enforces the limitations on the constitution is a citizenship pact a compact that everybody

signs on the dotted line and agrees to defend the fundamental rights novel concept but it works it's a powerful concept and it gets rid of all the ignorant voters because you have to know what the limitations of government and and well i think for starters we could get rid of all the people in congress who had sworn to the constitution all new people in congress right there in one fell swoop at least about 80 80 percent of them right that's right and then maybe if you if you pass the test and you sign it maybe you get 47 from elon musk maybe we get him to kick that in yeah i thought it was funny you know when he says uh people were saying well you know he's

paying people to vote for trump and it's like well no actually he's paying people to say that they support the first and second amendment trump doesn they support the First and Second Amendment. Trump doesn't support the First and Second Amendment. He doesn't support it at all. His bump stocks and his demands to take the licenses away from anybody that reports in a way that he doesn't like the news reported. So, yeah, I don't know. But, again, let's talk a little bit about foreign policy because that is something that you are focused on. Tell us what you would do. And then I want to talk a little bit about, as we see this continually provoking World War III, we see this escalating constantly in Israel.

We see it in Ukraine. We see it happening with China. I mean, they are everywhere where they are. They are incrementally provoking this with brinksmanship and all the rest of the stuff, or preemptive attacks. Talk to us a little bit about foreign policy. Well, in the first place, I'm the only one conservative out there who is warning that Russia and China are existential enemies. Now, while it is true that the Western globalists have built these two enemies from the beginning, I want to be clear about that.

You read Anthony Sutton's book on Wall Street and the rise of Bolshevism. You read his book on Wall Street and the rise of Hitler. They built these enemies. He could have written a book on how we built mount seitun you know by cutting off aid to chen kai shek or lenin castro or lenin we brought yeah we brought castro to power by cutting off military aid to batista we brought the sandinistas to power by cutting off military aid to but these globalists you're not as neither are not communists and they may be helping communists they may be using communists to break down the social order but they are not communists they believe in a milder slicker

more deceptive form of socialism where you own things but well in case of the you know world economic forum you own nothing and then but that's that's really not the globalist point of view that's never going to happen by we're never going to see an ai robotic society because these ideological leftists and transhumanists don't understand and the globalist top leaders are not telling them that we're going to be having a third world war coming and it's going to unfortunately i think get out of control even the globalists who create this war aren't going to be able to control it because it's going to start with an emp strike that's going to take down the grid for over a year and you can imagine the hatred and discontent and rioting and social

unrest and the deaths that will be caused by no electricity in this country. That's right. That's one of the reasons I've talked about what's going on in North Carolina. So this is a harbinger of what's to come. You know, when you look at what happens there and you look at the fact that if the federal government gets involved at all, it's there to oppose you and it's neighbor helping neighbor. And that is, you know, what we need to start thinking about because that could come upon us all and just as rapidly as that storm in a war format.

But neighbor won't be able to help neighbors when they run out of food, too. That's right. That's why I say everybody has an obligation to prepare for these coming cataclysmic events. And the government is preparing. They've got new underground bunker systems they've got huge stockpiles for the continuity of governor government system to protect the bureaucrats but they're not warning the american people and but it's very important for your audience to understand and i'm the only journalist that's ever warned about this that russia faked their own demise in 1989 to 91 they're still

communist putin is still communist the communist party still runs things in moscow he is not anti-woke he is not christian all of this is a grand deception and so is the deception that he was justified in uh in invading of the threat of Ukraine going into NATO. He doesn't mind if countries go into NATO. Remember, when he faked his own demise, they didn't purge any of the communists out of Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania. In fact, Lech Walesa of Solidarity was a communist agent.

So was Václav Havel, the so-called Western leader of Czechoslovakia. This was a communist agent so was baklav hovel the so-called western leader of czechoslovakia this was a grand deception and so putin has all these countries part of nato you don't think he's got dozens of spies in the nato in these other western countries that used to be soviet satellites of course they do and the corruption is there just as much as it is in ukraine that's why there is corruption in ukraine because of all the holdover communists in the bureaucracy like burisma who made deals with and they're still there but the point is the ukrainian people don't deserve to be taken back into the soviet system

which is what putin was going to do and he even told tucker carlson that stalin and lemon lenin put these r into Ukraine. He says, I don't know why. Of course he knows why. Because the Russians were going to fake their own demise. He told Tucker Carlson that. He said the Russian leadership initiated the fall of the Soviet Union. And it didn't mean a thing to Tucker because he didn't remember that the official narrative was that this was a spontaneous uprising in eastern europe that

the soviets couldn't control but that wasn't true at all eric honaker on his deathbed said moscow gave me orders to let the student protest in leipzig go forward and to stand down the stasi they gave orders for the kgb and red square to stand down and not arrest the protesters and you know I could go on and on about the history and the details I have about the phony fall of the Soviet Union and so unfortunately because of the phony war on terror which we created by the deep state creating 9-11 and we went after that is the globalists and neocons went after innocent countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and Syria who weren't involved in 9-11 at all, and are still there against them. Good people like Ron Paul think there are no enemies except our own deep state, and that there won't be World War III unless we provoke it.

And that isn't true. While it is true they're provoking because they want this war to drive us into a militarized global government but they don't really have to russia and china have a long plan they've always been allies from the very beginning when russia started to aid mount sektum and built up china when russia aided uh kim jong-sun of north korea to attack south korea and the Chinese got involved in that. Look, they've always been an alliance to take down the West. They're still doing it.

It's going to happen because all three predator centers want this war. So let's stop getting it. And the big thing that conservatives don't understand is that even though these globalists and neocons build these enemies remember all through the cold war how they were downplaying the russian threat we just need to contain them and as long as we don't have nuclear war we've won the cold war and so everyone thought reagan beat it but he didn't win it was a deception the russians faked their own demise and they fooled conservatives by giving Reagan the credit on this. But Reagan was as deceived as anyone else into thinking that he did it. And, of course, why did they do it?

Putin said to Tucker, he said, we did it because we wanted peace and cooperation with the West. But that was a lie. You must have had a I would have liked to watch you watch the tucker carlson interview with uh vladimir putin you must have it bothered me and and you know and then seeing him you know go in and do these loving um uh close-ups of the uh mosaic of vladimir lenin and the subway station all the rest of this stuff. Yeah, the Russians are very good at playing chess, aren't they? And they even did it. You know, the coup de grace for conservatives is, but what about the Ukraine revolution?

Victoria Nuland gave $5 billion. No, it wasn't $5 billion. That was for the whole budget democracy now for all of Eastern Europe. But let's suppose she gave a million to the Ukrainian protests. Yes, the globalists did fund the protests, of eastern europe but let's suppose she gave a million to the ukrainian protest yes the globals did fund the protest but it wasn't a western coup it's true that he was you know they falsify the elections in ukraine like everything every ukrainian prime minister has been a phony nationalist they've all been pro-putin even t or yulia timoshenko but victor yanukovych

the communist president in 2014 was elected if you discount the fraud that's always involved in these nations uh the point is he was the one who allowed the the protesters to win it was the communist president that told the berkut the riot police that kept the protesters completely boxed in and made on square and even shot and killed and tortured some of them it was he who told them to stand down just like the communist leaders told the stasi and the kgb to stand down the barakut were told to stand down and that's why the protesters in February of 2014 woke up on Friday morning and there was nobody there to keep them in the square. Now that's like the Trump protesters going up to the Capitol and having no Capitol police there.

Who could have given the stand down order? Only Nancy pelosi see conservatives don't know these crucial factors these crucial factors and why did yanukovych do this so that he could have the appearance of a western coup and what did they do they had a temporary president yes chenuk for two months and then they held election and what lo and behold happened pietro poroshenko appeared as a ukrainian nationalist and appealed to the russian speakers in the doba said you can speak russian you don't have to speak ukrainian you can be self-determining will be you know a semi-autonomous state and then as soon as he got elected he changed and he said no you got to speak ukrainian you can't be self-autonomous he provoked them now what am i saying this this is the reason yes uh

yanukovych the communist pulled his own demise just like the russians did that in the faking their own solution he is a communist and pro-putin could not have provoked the russians in donbass and crimea but you have a fake nationalist getting elected pietro poroshenko who's best friends with all the russian oligarchs so you know where his loyalty is alive he did provoke them and what did that do immediately putin started his stealth invasion of crimea and don donbas that's when it started and that's how it started it's not a western coup yeah i'm the only one that has the truth on this david and i'll tell you conservatives are so hard are so hardened about wars of intervention which were true after the phony they were all phony wars of an invention but it's not true what

they need to understand is that the globalists have to switch sides and start attacking the correct enemy before world war three just like they did and they started to attack hitler after building up his army and after you know funding all of this then they had to start to attack him so they're on the right side when the war starts and that's why they started to attack putin and so conservatives think oh if they're attacking putin he must be innocent and that's the most stupid conclusion i've ever heard well you know it's interesting going back back to 2019 after Zelensky got in and he had Alexei Arestovich, who was going to be the piece. You know, they ran on a platform of peace. Right. So he's going to be the peace representative. And he came back and and on Ukrainian TV, they said, so what's the possibility of peace?

And he says none. She goes, oh, that's horrible. He goes, oh, it's going to get a lot worse. He said in three years, which meant 2022, he he said we're going to have full war with russia so he knew that and he said the country is going to be destroyed but we get into nato or whatever you know i mean but he knew exactly the time frame which the um invasion was going to happen i've always thought that was an amazing clip that is completely ignored by the Western media to show that what is happening there on face value is not really what is happening. So talk a little bit about, as you say, you think that it's going to be sometime in the next five years are going to kick off World War III. How do you see this coming back? Is it what is happening in Ukraine first or China first?

How do you see this as rolling out? Well, it can't start in Ukraine or the Middle East. Because, you see, Putin, even though he's allied with Iran, he can't start a nuclear war with the West, even though he's threatened almost a dozen times now, because he can't occupy. As a military officer, I can tell you, if you can't occupy after throwing nuclear weapons, they simply rebuild and come back and get you. Because nuclear weapons do not destroy the world. It's not a nuclear winner after that.

In fact, nuclear weapons now that are airburst have fairly small amounts of radiation. Now, you still need to get protected from it, but nevertheless, it's not the all-dying scenario that the anti-nuclear lobby has said you see putin has to wait for china until they're ready because china does have the troops and the equipment and the physical conventional army that has not been degraded as putin's has been in ukraine and that's why i support the war in ukraine i don't support military aid i mean

financial aid decree because of the corruption but i do think the globalists know what they're doing in terms of weakening russia's conventional army because it forces them to wait until china's ready and china can't get involved because of the middle east they don't have direct involvement there or in ukraine yet they have to wait for the taiwan situation to be the trigger event i think that taiwan is going to be the trigger event and military one congressman just said we just got a briefing from the military that that Xi Jinping says he's going to be ready to take Taiwan in 2027. And that matches my prognostication. But he has to wait till he's ready, because now that we're going to defend Taiwan, he knows he's going to have to take out in the U.S. full force with nuclear strikes on our military bases when that strike

happens. And Kim Jong-un has also said, I'm going to enter into the war on behalf of China if the U.S. tries to intervene. That means a war in South Korea. So if you see those things happening, we'll probably be in World War III within three weeks to a month after that starts. That's the trigger event you need to watch for. Wow.

And how do the forces stack up in your mind? I mean, it would be in terms of hypersonic missiles or things like that. How does it stack up, U.S. versus China? Well, the nuclear forces of Russia overwhelm ours. They've almost got 10 times more weapons on their missiles to throw at the United States than our puny 400 single warhead Minuteman III missiles. We took off the three warheads and put on a single warhead and all of those because of pd60 which was signed by clinton in 1997 the military has been the missile force has been instructed to absorb a nuclear first strike and then retaliate after that means we lose all of our major military bases we lose

all of our missile bases in the first strike and then we have about seven ballistic missile submarines because we keep half of them in port at any one time seven ballistic missile submarines out there and their warheads are not big enough to hit hardened targets so you see they're setting us up for not a total defeat but a decapitation of our military and that's how how they come out of their bunkers and talk the Americans into joining a militarized global government because our military has been decapitated. And the whole West will raise up their hands and say, save us. You think 9-11 was bad in terms of yesmanship to government. You think what will happen when we absorb a nuclear first strike on military targets.

Oh, yeah. So that's the trigger event. That's what's going to happen. And I'll tell you, it's going to be serious. So people need to start to prepare. And again, I'll tell people, you go to joelskousen.com, and they can see their strategic relocation and strategic housing and stuff. And, of course, we were talking about you when we saw what was happening

with Hurricane Milton in Florida. So I said, just as Joel Skousen said, look at the packed places, people trying to get out of there, and it's completely, they can't get out of the roads because there's just a few north and south roads that are there. So, again, if you want to know where the best places to be are, Joel has thought this through. He's got an excellent book about that strategic relocation.

I've got a question here from listeners. Can you pull that up, Karen? And this is from Brian and Deb McCartney. He said, David, can you please ask Joel if he knew of Russell Bentley who fought for the Donbass, who was supposedly killed in ukraine a u.s citizen do you know anything about that i don't absolutely he was a shill for the russians he's a communist an american communist who went over there to fight for them he's not a patriot he only spewed pro-russian propaganda about ukraine losing instantly and the same thing

with scott ritter and doug mcor. They're both shills for Russia. They have been telling the conservatives for years now that Ukraine is finished. And it's not finished. As long as the U.S. and the West continues to put good, solid weaponry in there, it won't be defeated. And it'll end up, it's a tragic thing because it's a no-win a bit of a no-win war but as i say the globalists do have a proper purpose in weakening russia's ability to go nuclear because of you know working down and they've exposed a lot of weaknesses in russian military it's very sad but you know it's a complex situation these conspiracies you know

both the globalists and russia and china play a good cop bad cop you've got to be able to see and unfortunately i want to say trump is an ignoramus when it comes to foreign policy he thinks xi jinping with one phone calling stop world war iii he thinks he can stop the war in ukraine with one phone call to vladimir putin and he thinks that kim young um in north korea is his best pen pal buddy i mean that's real naivete david and he doesn't know if he thinks that or if it's just as uh he tells us to the people who support him and they think it i i don't know if trump really believes any of the stuff he's spewing out there or not i don't know i'm just kind of uh i don't know if trump really believes any of the stuff he's spewing out there or not i don't know i'm just kind of uh i don't know if he's he may be trump trump is subject to flattery he dishes it out that's right and he's subject to flattery and that's how all this happened is xi jinping

flattered him got him on his side he told kim young-un when he comes to dismantle your nuclear weapons just flatter him and he'll be putty in your hands. And that's exactly what happened. That's right. Yeah, it's all about the narcissism. It absolutely is. And I think we can all pretty much see it. And one last thing, and Karen, you can go ahead and play us out here

because we ran over a little bit of time. Jason Barker says, Joel's got my vote for just eliminating the Fed. All problems come from that, including war. Absolutely true. Joel, it's great to have you on. And again, folks, if you want to find out what's going on with this campaign, you can go to joelskousen.com.
