Learn how you can protect your wealth with noble gold investments. That's noble gold investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob starring Steve McQueen? The blood-curdling prep of The Blob. Well, way back when Eric had a small part in that film, but they had a cut. got his scene because the blob was supposed to eat him, but he kept spitting him out.

Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric the Texas! Hey there, folks. Welcome to January 10th, 2025. Unbelievable. Today is a big date in my life because it was literally, not literally, yes, literally. exactly a year ago today, then my sweet dad passed away, 96 and a half years old, exactly a year ago today.

Chris, you and I were at this kind of retreat thing in Dallas with our friend Simone, Alex, and it was like a media summit. Obviously, you remember that. I do, yeah. We were at Liberty Ranch and... Liberty Ranch, that's what it was, in Dallas. and I remember going to bed talking with a woman at the hospital. And she was like, your dad's not doing very well, you know, whatever.

And at that point, I was praying the Lord would take him because it was so hard to watch the whole thing. It didn't look like he could conceivably pull out of it or that if he did pull out of it, it would just be bad for a much longer time or whatever. So I was praying that the Lord. would take him and the next morning, I was on the phone with my brother and my brother told me that he was there and my dad had just passed. That was January 10th a year ago. So it's interesting. Since then, if you follow me on X, the photo that I have at the top of the page on X is the first photo of me and my dad together.

I was, I guess, it looks like I'm about three months old and I'm in the carriage. And so that photo has been up and my dad is looking down at me. It's such a beautiful, I can't even believe the photo exists, but it's on X.

And I decided I would leave it there for a year. And so probably, today at some point I'll take it down. But I felt to honor my father's memory, I would do that. And it's an interesting thing because I remember when my grandmother passed away, when my father's mother died of cancer in Greece in 1970, or was it 71, I have to remember exactly, I believe it was 1970. For a year, my father wore. a black tie. That's what they do in Europe.

And my father honored his mother for a year to be in mourning, publicly in mourning, for a year. And he wore a black tie, which was not as odd in 1970 as it would be today because, you know, usually men going to the office would wear a white shirt and a dark tie. But my father wore a black tie for a year. And, you know, in Europe years ago, people would wear an arm. banned for a year to show that they're in mourning. But there were interesting rules about it and traditions. And I think we've lost a lot of that. And anyway, my very simple way of honoring my father publicly has just been to keep this photo on my ex account at the top of my profile page

for a year. So today, since it's a year, probably tomorrow, I will take it down and I'll put something more goofy up or whatever. But it's interesting to me. It's been a strange year because my dad was 96 and a half and it was the Lord's time that he go. But my mom is 90 and it's been tough. It's been tough for all of us because suddenly you're in this strange new reality, which is hard to process.

How does it send many of you listening, maybe most of you have been through stuff like this. I really never had. And, you know, my mother was married to my dad for 64 years. And suddenly, he's gone. And it really changes things. And so I've been spending a lot of time in Danbury, Connecticut with my mom and just trying to process this. How do you process this? When you know that someone you love is with Jesus, first of all, that's kind of key. If you don't know that, it becomes really strange and painful. But it's just been a, it's just been a, it's a, It's been a strange year, and there's so much about me. I've said this many times on the program that I would not be who I am without my dad.

My dad showed us love as a father ought to show his family love, but my father did. He was faithful, faithful as a father, faithful as a husband, faithful as a provider, a deeply good man. That will change you. That will affect you. You cannot escape that. And so I say bluntly, everything I am is because of my dad. And any good anywhere ultimately is because of the Lord, is because of God.

And so even if there are people like my dad who didn't have that personal relationship for most of his life with Jesus, sometimes it doesn't matter, folks. You can still be good because God is still working in you. I'm glad my father eventually did have a personal relationship with Jesus. but the goodness that came out of him all of his life and as a father, that Jesus is the source of that. God is the source of all that goodness. And we need to be clear about that stuff. So I wanted to say that in a few minutes.

Oh, and by the way, my love of Greece and all things Greek, that's because of my father. And it's a good opportunity for me to mention our cruise to Greece. I still can't believe we're doing this June 6th through 16th. We are doing a Greek cruise to the Greek islands. It is from leaving from Athens on June 6th and returning Athens, June 16th. We're going to be going everywhere. Crete, Mekinos, Ephesus, Rhodes, Santorini. Santorini and Crete are the two places I'm most excited about.

We're stopping in Istanbul, which used to be in Greece, used to be called Constantinople. It is now called Istanbul, and it's in Turkey. Ephesus is also in Turkey. But it's going to be great. If you want to know about the Greek cruise, we have 226 people officially signed up. You can join us or you can investigate it by going to Ericmetaxis.com slash cruise. Ericmetaxis.com slash cruise.

We want to get a lot of people there. Before we go, now I mentioned that in a few minutes, we have in a few minutes, we have Albin and Tony Seder coming up. We haven't had Albin on in a while.

Folks, when we last talked to Ivan Brackland, we covered a lot of ground, but of course we barely scratched the surface. So, Ivan, I want to continue with you. What happens now? What is possible? Because what you're talking about, I mean, it's nice for us to speculate on, you know, bringing these awful folks to justice. Justice, right? Again, not retribution. They can think it's retribution.

They can say what they want, but this is justice. This is justice by the laws of our nation. But clearly they don't, they're not going to go quietly. They're not going to let this happen if they can avoid it. What do you think is happening right now? I mean, you know, to prevent you from, I mean, who's the principal actor in this? Is this you talking to AGs around the country? Is this you talking to district attorneys around the country?

Who is this? Who is behind this right now? So I think it's, your question is kind of twofold. Let me start with the first part where it's essentially, as a former intelligence analyst, applying it today's political environment and kind of constitutional disarray. Yeah. I always look at it from the threats perspective and what they potentially could do to derail getting and restoring us back to this justice, one-tier justice system in the constitutional order. So we're sitting here today going into, let's take a look at December.

On December 20th, that was the date when the executive order 13848, which basically says that the Director of National Intelligence is supposed to release a report, not publicly, but to the president and some of the cabinet-level officials of if there was foreign interference in the United States' 2024 election. if let's just say you're a Democrat, what's the most you're going to do that they've already done and claim that it's lawful to do to essentially stop Donald Trump from actually swearing in? Well, they come up with the report. The same CIA affiliates that said that the Biden laptop was Russian info can say that the 2024 election was marred with Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia interference yet again with this intel community assessment that they're going to conjure up potentially, right? And that could then be used across the platforms. for Kamala Harris to do what Mike Pence should have done back in 2020, where she says, hey, Russian interference,

we need to send the electors back to the states on December 25th. Is there anybody in America who believes that it's possible that the Russians interfered in the 2024 election? I mean, could that fly at this point? That's so preposterous, especially after what we've been through. They would have to shut down X, right? One of the components is to shut down X so that they can restore and reclaim their disinformation purveyor dominance. How could they shut down X?

Well, they tried to do it with, remember in Brazil and some of the other place, right? Yeah. I mean, they could shut it down by, look at what's going on with the drones, for example, right? There is anti-satellite capability that are in the United States government probably has. And while there are quite a few of these satellites, Starlink, et cetera, that's been built out, it's harder and harder. I get it. But there could be, if they do make a decision,

there could be a massive shutdown. Imagine X goes down, right? We no longer have free speech, essentially. All you require us to take out X and rumble, and then they restore their dominance of their lies. And then it convinces the country once again, the lemmings, that, oh, Russia interfered. Well, it actually doesn't even matter.

They have a month. They have a few days. All they have to do is say, the Sintel community assessment says that Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. Kamala Harris next Wednesday, because under the electoral contact, it would be next Wednesday, December, I think Wednesday, 25th. She sends it back to the states and says,

hey, governors in North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, all Democrat governors, triggering then to send an alternate slate of electors because the governors can. Right? Just because they're going to use this as a reason. It seems far-fetched. I want to-

It's far-fetched, but these are things that need to be monitored. Hey, you know what's far-fetched? A plandemic. You know what's far-fetched? A mass murder scheme with the COVID shots. You know what's far-fetched? Eric, is the unmasking of General Flynn by 39 officers. What's far-fetched?

Sarah Raskin and Jamie Raskin are a household conducted treason at multiple layers. So, like, I'm coming up with things in order for people to, at least, war game them and think through them. We know what was far-fetched when I was attacked on Alex Jones for wargaming that they're going to try to assassinate President Trump. And they were going to do it going into when they realized they couldn't stop him from securing the nomination. What happened on that Saturday two days before the RNC convention? Exactly what we forecasted. You've shared all this on Alex Jones.

No? Some of it. Some of it. Why wouldn't you have shared everything you shared with me yesterday? on Alex Jones, why wouldn't you? I've been on a couple times. I mean, his format doesn't quite allow for this more. There's a lot of commercials and there's like,

it's not conducive for a longer discussion. He's more, he doesn't listen as much as he do. But I love the guy. Because he's the one talking about this stuff. I'm not, you know, I need you to come on and talk about this. I don't know about this. A good portion of this over the years I have talked about it. So it's not, it would be disingenuous to say.

We didn't talk about it. At some level, we did discuss almost all of this. Yeah. Well, but my guess is that the Alex Jones crowd is already tracking with this. Absolutely. Whereas the people that listen to my program, this would mostly be news to them. Right. I mean, you have the early adopters, you have the mainstream, and you have the laggards.

So we're kind of in the laggard face. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, that's right. So, all right. I was talking earlier today. Now this is going to be airing. Again, that's January 3rd. A couple of other things may happen before January 20th.

Remember, right now there's probably going to be a speaker's fight. Mike Johnson is tenuous at best in his position. He may not hold this position going into January 3rd. Maybe he does. But say January 3rd. There's discussion by Senator Rand Paul by Speaker Jaws and himself as late as yesterday that, well, Elon, what, you want to be Speaker of the House? Imagine if Elon Musk is Speaker of the House.

Then he can actually implement what Doge, the N-Santis. state of Doge is, which is what? Making government efficient. How do you do that? What's the quickest path to government efficiency? You defund it. So the Speaker of the House drives the federal budget, as we're seeing. So what does that mean? Instead of a $7 trillion

a year budget, let's bring it down to under a billion. Well, that's 80 to 90% of the federal budget, meaning you can now lop off and shut down the Department of Education. You can lop off all these institutions. All that would be great, but who determines who's the next speaker of the house?

218 members of Congress. And you believe that 218 members of Congress are MAGA enough to vote for somebody like Elon Musk? They're not MAGA enough. They're going to be compelled into, and this is how it works. I already thought through this. Yeah. And I wrote a sub-sect maybe. I don't know if I published.

Yeah. Anyway, I've already thought through this a couple months ago, and now the conversation is happening. So bottom line is Elon Musk has America Pack. It's got a lot of money. Yeah. Elon Musk has the biggest megaphone on the planet. So if you're a member of the Republican conference and Elon Musk says, hey, by the way, I got all your DMs, here's the blackmail I have.

But we're not going to discuss that. We're going to do this cleaner. I'm going to make sure that you lose your election the next cycle, unless you vote for me for Speaker of the House. Do you think he would do that? I think the conversation over the last 24 hours is starting to get us into that direction because if Elon Musk, I never bet against Elon Musk, and if he wants to be successful at his end state of government efficiency, he's going to realize, because he's a student of the political process.

He wasn't before. He is now. He is fully engaged, and his finger is maximally on the pulse. So he's a problem solver. He's going to see, like, oh, this is simple. If you go against me and not vote for me, your political career is done. Why? Because he has the evidence probably blackmail and the megaphone to destroy you.

legal? It's fully legal. How? He's sitting on the private communications. Jackass Smith, what did he do to the direct messages of Donald Trump? He subpoenaed them because he's a governmental actor. Elon Musk owns that data. He doesn't have to get a subpoena or request anything. Okay, so

and so then he funds the demise of those that don't support him. He's the only person on the planet that has the leverage to literally say, you know what, I'm going to be Speaker of the House. We're going to have this budget. You don't like it. We're going to remove you from office. And if they vote against them, guess what? Hey there, folks. My Pillow is excited to announce that their Christmas extravaganza is finally here. Get this season's flannel sheets for as low as 59.98. They won't last long, so get them while you can.

Mypillow.com. Use code, Eric. I was talking to somebody earlier today. Now, this is going to air in a few days, but who says he has intelligence that we're going to be attacked, that the Chinese nationals that have come over a border that are embedded around the country and others are going to do something and

he said that the idea would be for the government to have the excuse to enact martial law and to shut things down so that Trump could not be inaugurated and he said something about if somebody were to bomb

an airport full of aircraft there are all kinds of things that could be done so that the government could say we need to have marshal law. Is that plausible to you? Because I've heard all these different scenarios about, you know, how do we, how do we shut down Donald Trump from getting inaugurated? Right. They want that, right? They're probably thinking of ideas. That's a low probability. I think they're, so I always deal in what's the most dangerous course of action. I kind of laid out some of them, right? They can

still assassinate him, right? Hang on, going to break. Welcome back talking to Ivan. R-A-I-K-L-I-N dot com, Rakeland.com. All right, so you were just continue along the lines what you were just saying. Right. Most probable, we kind of address some of the most dangerous course of action

that they could take. Yeah. Most probable course of action is going to be, they, I think, have decided that they have lost. They don't have the mainstream media reach to counter the narrative that Elon Musk and X allows us to talk about. Right.

And so I think they've relegated to try to manage once again the president's of Donald J. Trump. And here is what they're doing already to manage that so that they're not exposed. Mitch McConnell, while he stepped down, their counterstrike was, well, he's going to chair the Senate Rules Committee. What does that mean effectively for those that are not insiders like me and understand what that means? That means that the Senate committee that has oversight over the Capitol Police and the

Capitol Police Board, and by the way, when he becomes the Senate chair of that committee, the Senate Sergeant at Arms becomes the chair of the Capitol Police Board as well because it alternates between the House and the Senate sergeant in arms. So next year, Mitch McConnell is going to have oversight over essentially all things related to investigating the Capitol Police and the Capitol Police Board,

meaning the cover-up will continue for yet another year. That's the counter move that they made because obviously Trump and Musk have political influence and that's why McConnell's out. But he's not out-out. He's going to continue to try to cover up the Fed's direction. And more importantly, he decides on when votes take place on everything in the Senate as the chair of that Rules Committee. So if he wants to delay nominations, he can say, oh, yeah, we're going to confirm your guy, but we're going to confirm him.

We'll put it on next year's calendar if he so chooses. That's the authority and power of the Senate Rules Committee. So we've got to know these things so that we can then counter it with a massive blitz. When they operate in, like, beyond the shadows. But when people like me investigate it and hopefully more do it, we can then identify it. And when we see them maneuvering this way, we immediately attack them to stop it. Because we control the media. We own the narrative, right?

With X, with Rumble, with these free speed platforms. So that's the long answer to your what's coming up and how do we counter it. We have the media to do it. but we got to and that's why Elon Musk, I think Elon Musk knew and forecasted all this. That's why he's creating Starlink and all these satellites to be able to circumvent the very tyrannical government's capabilities to shut his internet and our internet down.

He's thought two, three, five steps ahead. So I suspect that they're in defeat mode and I don't know. That's why some of these folks are fleeing. That's why some of these folks are the lawyer, Mark Zayed, for, remember Eric Charamela the whistleblower? The fake whistleblower on the Ukraine call? That you couldn't say his name?

Which Ukraine call? You're talking about the one that when they tried to... Yeah, okay, okay. Eric Chiaramela was the whistleblower. That's his name. Right. And his two attorneys were Mark Zayed and Andrew Bacage. Okay. Andrew Bacage was also the lawyer for John Brennan. You see how these things work before that? Eric Chiramello was a detainee from the C-Lai over the National Security Council.

as he worked and colluded with the Vindman brothers, the twin traders, Alexander Vindman. It's Colonel Vindman to you, Congressman Nunes. Well, guess what, punk, fatty punk? Alexander, you're on my list. And so is your brother Yvgeny. I don't care that your brother Yovgeny

just won and secured a congressional seat. It's all coming out as you colluded with your treasonous activity, and Mark Zayette is advising his clients, some of them on the 51 Spide Who Lied List, as well as Eric Cheramela and others, he's advising them to flee the country before January 20th. Why? Because my deep state target list has been on X in sufficient scale that they see it. They're either fleeing, running, requesting pardons.

So it's making its intended consequences already. What do you think Do you think General Flynn will have a role in the administration coming up? That is the most common question that I am asked by everybody And I unfortunately have to answer it this way

That is a question to ask President Trump And General Flynn Only those two know the answer to that Well, I mean, I don't know How much President Trump is tracking with what we've been covering here. I wonder, because he's got a lot going on. But this is really at the heart,

this is the black heart of corruption that we're talking about. Actually, now that I thought about it, as we were talking here, one kind of ancillary question to that is, more importantly, what would be the best role for General Flynn to play? Would it be inside of government, or would it be outside of government, or would it be some sort of combination? and does it have to necessarily be on January 20th, right? What do you mean?

You mean saying could he be working now? Is that what you're saying? I'm not sure what you're saying. No, it's just like what would be his most effective role, right? I don't know. And is it possible that, you know, there's changeover and appointees and somebody else takes place after a year or two, whatever? So, I mean, those are some things that obviously critical thinkers and planners need to consider.

And then I will say this is that one other thing to kind of mention is, Many people are talking about pardons for the January 6th political hostages and prisoners. For those that haven't been convicted, there's yet another option to solve. Three U.S. attorneys are very important that need to be appointed by President Trump. One, for the District of Maryland, because that's where Rod Rosenstein district was. We get all the documents of Rod Rosenstein of what he did in Maryland. We start to expose all the DOJ's nefarious activity with the Lerner. illegal spying and etc.

The other two is the District of Columbia, U.S. Attorney. We pull out Matt Graves, put someone in there, and guess what they can do? Drop all the charges on all those still that haven't been charged, that are sitting there rotting. Hang on a second. Without a pardon. Going to a break, we will hear who the third one is when we come back. Talking to Ivan, Raycliffe. Ivan, you were just going to say there was a third.

A district attorney, did you say? U.S. attorneys. There are 94 U.S. attorneys throughout the United States. Yeah. I argue that three of them are very crucial to appointing the most fearless, unapologetic, America first constitutionally minded individual that wants to seek and restore a one-tier justice system, meaning we have to correct what just happened. District of Maryland, one we talk to the district of Maryland,

U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia so that they can auto-courning. correct, all the weaponization that occurred against the January 6th defendants. Right. And number three, when there's an overflow of national security cases in D.C., those overflow cases go over to the Eastern District of Virginia and Alexandria of Virginia. So those three, there needs to be serious, significant thought. And I have one recommendation already. Dan Cox should be considered to be the U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland because, well, he was the one that exposed Governor Hogan in the lockdown.

Republican governor. Lockdowns. He was threatened with jail. He was the only one that pushed back against that whole attorney. Lawyer, successful attorney. He ran for governor. Was actually endorsed by Trump, was endorsed by Cash Patel and some other. and I think he's in a position to,

he's already exhibited that fearlessness. And if anybody's listening in from those on the transition team, the landing team, the DOJ, Pam Bondi, President Trump, Cash Patel, I urge you to take a look at Dan Cox and connect. And the other two, I don't have a particular recommended individual. Now, in all this time we've been talking, I haven't really asked you,

where do you get your energy from? How do you have the time to do this? You know, where are you coming from? Yeah, so, I mean, I'm thrilled that you're doing it. But where is this coming from? August 22nd, I retired. But where's this coming from? I kind of alluded to it.

When you come after somebody that I respect, it mirror images what happened to my father when he was in the Soviet Union. So, okay, so on some level this is personal. You are, they did this to your father, and you see this happening to what happened in Arizona. And you say this is wrong, and I can do something about it, and by God's grace, I want to do something about it. Absolutely. It's more than wrong.

I had a first and second row seat. Well, that's a nice word. Really? It's evil. It's despicable. I look left and right. I look in the mirror like, okay, how many other people within my ecosystem that can actually grasp what's going on at this institutional level? that is not already corrupted and that is pristine enough and has the courage to say,

you know what? Enough's enough. You crossed my red line a third time. When you came after me, in 2021, the DHS launched an investigation as late as probably before June of 2021 because I was in D.C. At the ellipse on January 6th. And they started, I was on leave that day, wasn't in my military capacity, nothing, just private citizen, and they started investigating me without any lawful predicate.

Guess what? Even though they didn't do anything to me. My freedom is still there. They canceled me off everything through censorship on the different platforms, through cutting me off from different contracts that I had with the Department of Defense. Well, guess what? That coupled with them putting me on the Quiet Skies program, what they did to Tulsi, what I call the Fourth Amendment gang rape,

while they stopped me and searched every crevice of me, even though I had TSA pre-check and clear and a clearance as well as a military ID card, that's unacceptable. I'm going to keep it clean without using expletives this entire show because I have thus far. But I'm going to say this, Eric, when you do the FAA in a sufficient number of times, the FO is going to be a trillion squared on steroids coming to them. So when people are uncomfortable with the word retribution, that is my diplomatic speech. of what's going to happen to these scumbags.

And I mean it. Well, look, this is, and I have the energy for it. I'm an ultra-marathoner. What part of retired Green Beret and constitutionally, constitutional lawyer, did they miss? Because obviously, they missed it. And because they missed it, I am coming for them, with or without anyone's help.

But fortunately, 80,000 of my closest friends feel the same way. And actually more now. And you probably built that number, tripled it with this show. Well, I hope so. By God's grace, this is important. You, I was, this show was on YouTube. We had 250,000 subscribers. It was wiped out in 2021 for no reason.

Same thing like you're talking about. Just, that's the moment that I was radicalized. Wait a minute. Can I tell you who by name did that at the FBI? I can tell you who did it. Why wasn't somebody at the FBI? I mean, I have no, you know, I figure YouTube, who's doing this? I don't know.

No. Yeah. Remember Crossfire Hurricane, the illegal spying on Trump and General Flynn and Carter Page and defrauding the FISA court? Yes, who was the supervisory intelligence analyst? I don't know. His name was Brian Otten. And then he was later elevated to be the supervisory intel analyst on this new organization called the Foreign Influence Task Force at the FBI that Chris Ray created so that they could say, hey, the Hunter Biden, Laugh. Not only is that Russian disinfo, as was mentioned by the good old 51 spies that lied, but also him and Laura Demlo headed up that organization to then tell Mark Zuckerbuck, as he mentioned to Joe Rogan during his interview, that two agents told him that, yeah, you need to start censoring.

Yeah. And he actually coordinated the former general counsel of the FBI, Jim Baker, who later became the Twitter's number two lawyer to run and organize and collude the censorship industrial. complex with the FBI field office Joseph Pianca the 3rd and Elvis Chan. Joseph Pianca the third was the senior ops guy on Crossfire Hurricane. They just moved from their possessions on the East Coast

to the West Coast and ran the censorship industrial complex. Don't believe me. Read all of Michael Schellenberger's work. Read all of Matt Taibi's work and I have had a five-hour conversation with Taibi about all of this. We've got seconds left.

You said 80,000 of your closest friends. You really believe that a number of them will help you with this? I mean, do they know of you? Are they tracking with you? I coordinate with a lot of people on different messaging apps. Yeah. And we communicate on a daily basis. On a daily basis. This all sounds developed. This all sounds very positive. It's all lawful First Amendment activity. Well, and when folks like, I had a meeting with Roger Stone yesterday. Yeah. When folks like, let's just say Cash Patel are saying what they're saying when Tom Holman's saying what he's saying and all this. Hang on one second. We're going to do one more short segment, folks. Don't go wait.

Folks, I'm talking to Ivan Reklin last few minutes here and we'll have you back, but this is just important. So you said you're talking to people on a daily basis. So you've got a lot of friends willing to help you with this people that are motivated in the way that you are to say this is the right thing to do um and these are retired military who is this so just to be kind of clear it it's not me right i'm just helping facilitate and coordinate the discussion all of this demand for justice is it's already innate and them because they were weaponized against as well yes i'm just providing a little bit more details and receipts for them to see like oh this is who i need to go and make sure that achieves a accountability because these are the ones that came after me. That's why I said it specifically

to you. I can name you the names that were involved in the censorship scheme and they don't like it because they it shines the light and it's one thing when I reach one person 10 people a thousand it's not that much pressure but when you amplify and Elon Musk amplifies it it's like oof I got to go get dual citizenship as in these folks that I mentioned well it's so bizarre it's just bottom line is the fervor and demand for justice is only increasing because more people are understanding who was behind it. And they see that their friends, their family were killed or maimed or destroyed from the jabs. Right.

Or they were censored or they were demonetized. In some way, shape, or form, they were damaged. They didn't know before who it was. But when people like me, Mike Benz, Elon, Schellenberger, Taibi and so on and so forth, start to dig and showcase exactly how it operated, now you can vector in like a laser who needs to receive accountability. Is Mike Benz involved with you in this?

Who is he? Explain him to my audience. Mike Benz operates very strong professional analyst. He used to work in the Trump admin at the Department of State. Very solid work. He basically gives the international framework of the censorship industrial complex. He's been on many large. podcast. I've monitored his work.

He's been, you know, all in all the big ones. Yeah. And he has a bigger voice in this, in this ecosystem. My rhetoric is much more, like, he's more of an analytic mind, kind of like, he calls himself like an intel geek on it. I'm more of a, let's now

operationalize this knowledge. And I think he's uncomfortable with that, and that's fine. He's doing great. Why would he be uncomfortable with? I don't understand. Isn't that the point? Have you learned this stuff? so you can figure out what to do about it? I won't comment.

That's something for him to comment on, but he has done more than anyone that I know to expose this whole system. I'm just taking it to another level because of my previous experience that he may not have to essentially push that Overton window in the narrative into uncomfortable zone, but now I think it's easier to use this rhetoric

because we got President-elect, we got Elon Musk and the free speech on our side, So I think more and more people are going to be more comfortable once they learn everything in the collective and who was behind it to then say, all right, let's go to town on these people because they deserve it so that it never happens again for deterrence purposes. Well, that's the key. In other words, you cannot have a functioning self-governing republic unless most of the people feel I really am free. I can say what's on my mind. what we have been living under the last few years is evil. It's fundamentally un-American, and anybody involved in it, this is treasonous behavior.

This is the destruction of what our forefathers built and what patriots died to keep. And so this is God's work, as far as I'm concerned. This is about truth and justice. It's not about winning. It's about what is right. Leviticus Chapter 24, Sections 19. Excuse me, verse 1920. I'm thinking constitution.

If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done, it shall be done to him. Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him. I'm not a turn-the-other-cheek kind of a guy. When turning the other cheek results and you have no more cheeks to turn. Joy to have you. Thank you.
