The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help us God. Three hacking groups recently threatened to launch a destructive cyber attack

on the western banking system including the swift international bank wire communication network a number of financial corporate and government institutions have been hacked over the past 72 hours adding to the drama are unconfirmed rumors about the movement of military troops inside the USA Let's start with a report from Tech Monitor dated, June 15 as you see kilnett Is it? Rival Riva heard it pronounced both ways. Most places have said REVL. REVL?

Yes. Okay. Killnet, REVL, and anonymous threatened cyber attack on European financial system in the next 48 hours. Again, that was published June 15. That was last Thursday. Last Thursday. So we didn't touch this. We've been watching it. But today, there's definitely a pattern of cyber attacks throughout Europe and the United States. And that's why we felt like we need to start today's program with these stories. So, Doc, let's jump into this Tech Monitor report. Sure, Rick. According to Tech Monitor's report on Thursday, three hacking groups, Killnet, Anonymous, Sudan, and Revel, threatened to launch a destructive cyber attack

on the European financial system, starting with the SWIFT international communication system. Now, the motivation behind the attack could be political, as the groups are retaliating against Europe's support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Now, while the credibility of these claims remains uncertain, financial institutions were advised to remain vigilant, as Killnet is known for its powerful distributed denial of service attacks. There are also concerns that the Russian government may be involved, given the group's links to the GRU security service in the past. Now, Killnet and Anonymous Sudan,

a faction of the wider anonymous hacktivist movement, on Wednesday released a video and several posts on Telegram warning that a destructive attack on the European banking system would commence in 40 hours. The U.S. Federal Reserve could also be targeted, according to the post. Now, Revel is mentioned in the video, but does not appear to be heavily involved. The individual in the video appears in typical anonymous style with requisite Guy Fawkes mask and cloaked voice and says, if God rules Russia, then who rules Europe, he asks. That's right, the banking system.

No money, no weapons, no Kiev regime, implying a politically motivated attack targeting Europe for its involvement in the Ukraine war. Now, we actually had that video that was released last Wednesday, and it's been circulating around social media now for nearly four or five days. And you might have seen portions of it. This is the entire video that was leaked out on Wednesday. We are Anonymous Sudan. of it. This is the entire video that was leaked out on Wednesday. It will be too late to make amends. Many European banks will be targeted and we will hit without mercy. World has gone mad. The reason for this is money.

If God rules Russia, then who rules Europe? That's right, the banking system. No money, no problem. Revel is sufficiently familiar with the European financial infrastructure. See you soon. This is not a DDoS attack. Games are over. We call on all active groups to engage in destructive activities against the European banking system. No money, no weapons, no Kiev regime.

This is the formula for the death of Nazism and it will work. Within 48 hours we are launching this global company. Nothing will save you and this is not a warning. I am just informing you have never seen such problems before. We are killing it. So that was the eerie video that was posted last Wednesday. A lot of people didn't take it seriously, but now over the past weekend, there have been reports of several institutions, specifically banks, and government agencies around the world that have suffered some type of cyber attack over the past several days. Well, Doc, the biggest one today is the European Investment Bank, EIB.

And as you see, this is London Telegraph today. European Investment Bank hit by cyber attack after Russian hackers vow to bring down the financial system. We've got some information from that Telegraph story. Right. As Rick said, the EIB has been hit by a cyber attack suspected been orchestrated by what they're saying is Russian hackers. Just days after threats to bring down the Western financial system. Now, an EIB spokesman confirmed it was currently facing a cyber attack affecting the availability of some of its websites. Now, the attack comes days after Russian-speaking hackers threatened to launch cyber attacks against Western financial institutions over support for Ukraine.

A quote from that article, they're aware of this as well, a group claiming to be from Killnet last week said in a post on Telegram, they would rebuff the madmen according to the formula, no money, no weapons, no Kiev regime. And so that's just the tip of the iceberg there. Now, Hacker News also reported today that Microsoft is blaming massive DDoS attacks for problems with Azure, Outlook, and OneDrive disruptions. And so that's been happening today. Now, Microsoft on Friday attributed a string of service outages aimed at Azure, Outlook, and OneDrive earlier this month

to an uncategorized cluster it tracks under the name of Storm 1359. You might have heard that in the news over the past couple weeks. A hacktivist group known as Anonymous Sudan has claimed responsibility for the earlier attacks. It has publicly aligned itself with the Russian group Killnet, but for reasons only its operators know, preferring to use the story of defending Islam as the true reason behind its attacks, Trustwave said. Anonymous Sudan's Russian connections have also become evident in the wake of its collaboration with Killnet and Revel to form a darknet parliament and orchestrate cyber attacks on European and U.S. financial institutions. Task number one is to paralyze the work of SWIFT. This was a message that was posted back on June 14th, earlier this month.

So they are coordinating themselves together now, Rick. Yeah, and Doc, also late last week, I think it was Thursday, CNN reported this story. U.S. government agencies hit in global cyber attack. I think we'll bypass the details of it. This was last week. But this was the first indication that something was underway. Yes. Now, I want to bring, the, I'm paraphrasing, he said, since the West had no moral restraints in blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, Russia has no moral restraints in cutting the undersea cables between Europe and the United States.

And to me, that was a direct threat to bring havoc to the Western, not only banking system, but communications. I mean, just across the board, so many industries would be shut down if the cables were cut. Was it a bluff? Was it a real threat? I mean, I take it seriously. Well, I think we're in a cyber war now. The guy is not a podcaster in Russia. He's vice chairman of their deep state National Security Council. He's the former president of Russia. I mean, if Dick Cheney said today,

oh, by the way, we're going to, you know, we're going to blow up something that connects Russia to the rest of the world, everybody would be going, wait a minute, that's Dick Cheney, former vice president, you know, card-carrying member of the American deep state. You wouldn't just laugh at all. So when Medvedev said, we're going to cut the cables,

you better take this serious. So look what happens. This is number 15. This is PBS NewsHour. NATO moves to protect undersea pipelines, cables, and concerns mount over Russian sabotage threat. This was reported by PBS NewsHour in association with the Associated Press. NATO is taking steps to protect undersea pipelines and cables from potential Russian sabotage threats.

And this move comes as concerns grow over Russia's increasing military presence in the Arctic and its ability to disrupt vital communication and energy infrastructure. Now, NATO has established a new command center to monitor and protect undersea cables, which are critical to global communications and commerce. The move is seen as part of a broader effort to counter Russia's aggressive actions in the region. Now, I have a couple of quotes here from that article. There's no way that we can have NATO presence along also these thousands of kilometers of undersea infrastructure. That's coming from NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg after speaking to reporters after chairing the meeting. But we can be better at collecting intelligence, sharing information, connecting the dots,

because also in the private sector, there is a lot of information about ship movements, maritime surveillance, he added. And so NATO is taking this very seriously and they're moving ahead. This new command center that they're generating, it's not set up yet, but they are working hard to get it up and running. And you know, Rick, all sides have their own hacktivist groups one way or another. Ours sits in the Pentagon, probably, and at Langley. So they're constantly testing the infrastructure of Russia and probably China too. And China's doing it. And of course, Russia's doing it as well. Now NATO is entering into the picture with an organized attempt at setting up a clearinghouse, if you will, for information that's

coming from all these different sources. So, Doc, the undersea cables, there's a vast number of undersea cables between the United States and Europe, of course, all the continents around the world. But the West is connected through the Atlantic. Right. And all these cables, they're not bundled and tied together and held together with twist eyes no these things are huge some of them are five foot across

but what I'm saying is that there's many miles in the ocean between the cables they're not all bundled together scattered all across the floor so how would Russia sever all the cables how would it be done?

I don't think they can do all of them. I think that they would do the top one or two, the ones that would cause the most damage. But how would that be done? It would take either explosives on the ground, on the ocean floor, just like the West did to the pipelines, or it requires a marine vessel with a blade. Right. And I don't know if this is a, I'm assuming this is like a submarine device that goes down to the floor of the ocean with a blade. Seems like that would be a lot of hard work there, but I guess it's possible.

Yeah, but also putting explosives on the seafloor. There is another alternative, too, and something I learned when I took a trip to Curaçao a few years ago I was down for a cyber conference that you sent me down to of course at the time they were building a cat5 data center there and basically it's a place where all you know all this information gets processed through it's like giant servers and we're not talking did you go over there and tour no they were still under construction at the time. But it was massive. I mean, it was huge. Curacao is not a big island, but this huge data center that was being built at the time. But I got to thinking here as we were preparing for the Godcast today, if they wanted to take out key structures, really all they'd have to do is

target some of these key Cat5 data centers around the world. There are three of them now in the Caribbean. I'm sure there's probably several here in the US and of course in Europe. If they took out a few of those, it would take years you know for that to be rebuilt i mean the disruption would just be you know phenomenal the cascade effect because that data would either have to not get transmitted get rerouted somewhere else right so that was another possibility there so doc what we have here jens stoltenbergertenberger, Secretary General of NATO, said today, there's no way we can have

a NATO presence along thousands of kilometers of undersea infrastructure. Right. So they're aware that they're vulnerable. There's no

NATO police team that's going to be in a submarine going up and down the Atlantic looking at the cables and monitoring it. They're totally wide open. Which kind of makes me curious why he would come out and say that. As if to say, this is a place where we're weak. Well, if I'm Russia and I'm reading that and I hear NATO admitting that this is one of your weakest spots, what am I going to start thinking? Do we have an opportunity here? Absolutely. So where is this going?

We had Medvedev last week threaten to cut the undersea cables, which would sever banking, communications, media, phone calls, a lot of things in our society that we depend on. We count on it. We just assume it's always going to be there. International bank transactions and so forth, emails. Then we have these cyber activist groups come out and they say that they're Russian. I don't know if they're Russian. How do I know if they're Russian or not? We don't know. We don't know.

Maybe they are, maybe they're not. But they pop up last week saying, we're going to do an attack on the Western banking system. Or maybe the hackers is a real group. Maybe the three groups are real. They are hackers. Maybe they're a Russian military unit. Maybe this whole thing is a propaganda operation from the West. Right.

Because if something gets, if something, if Russia does something, if the hackers do anything, let's put it like this. If the hackers, if they're real hackers and they carry out a major attack, then the propaganda can be directed at Russia. Russia did this to you. Russia shut down your communications. Russia shut down the banking system. I don't know which one it is, and I'm not even going to pretend I know. What I do know is that when I see

several things happen in a short period of time, then I'm concerned. Now, there's something else. And I'm only going to do the headline because I want to get to the next story. Number 18, the German Ministry of Defense admits that the ammonia pipeline explosion could undermine the armed forces of Ukraine. So a week or two ago, there was a big ammonia pipeline that blew up right i didn't hear about it until until today right the first i heard about it was today as well so the first stories that came out last week the the said that it was ukraine that blew up the pipeline right just like ukraine blew or somebody blew up the german russian nordstrom pipeline

now the next story this is where i want to just go i got phone, before you guys put it up, let me tell something. I got a phone call yesterday at my home from a friend in Texas and he said, Rick, do you know anything about U.S. troop movements in a number of cities?

I said, I haven't heard a thing. He goes, my phone is, I'm getting calls from friends all over the country telling me that there are troops moving. And I said, are they reading the same online messages? Are they reading the same tweets? Are they reading the same postings? Or are they individually seeing troops moving? And he said, I don't know. I'm calling you to see if you heard anything about it. Well, I had not heard anything about it.

But I did look. And oddly enough, there's a story out of an Arab Middle Eastern newspaper. Social media shows troubling mass military movement across North America. This is an Arab newspaper. And somehow they're reporting on this. Now again, these are

unconfirmed rumors. I don't want anyone to think that I am declaring that there is a mass movement of U.S. troops inside the USA. I'm just pointing out I got a phone call yesterday from a friend who said he was getting phone calls from his friends saying troops were moving. I searched. I couldn't find anything. But today I found an Arab newspaper with this article. So we'll give you some details. Again, this was all based on unconfirmed rumors.

Go ahead and look at it. According to this article from Al-Mayadeen, several videos have been circulated on social media platforms, particularly Twitter, showing a large-scale movement of U.S. military equipment, vehicles, and planes across multiple cities in the country. Now, these videos have sparked concern among U.S. citizens, with some claiming that such movements have been observed in 27 states across the U.S. and some Canadian provinces. The nature and purpose of these movements may remain unclear, leading to further speculation and unease among the public. This right here, what you're watching, Rick, is a video that was just sent to me just a few moments ago,

showing one of those instances that, you know, military vehicles are on the move. But the article that we are mentioning here, Al-Maidin... And it's not unusual that U.S. military vehicles move inside the USA. Right. What's unusual is when there are reports in 27 states at the same time. So we've got kind of a montage here of several of these instances, including Larkspur, California, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, San Diego Camp Pendleton, and one, a massive train shipment of military vehicles in Montreal, Canada, of all places. Let's watch. Det er en avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord avgjord av And we could probably go through social media and show you a dozen more of these as well.

In fact, I've been getting them even as we're sitting here. We are in World War III, Doc. As Rick said, it's not unusual for any given day for there to be troops, National Guard troops, something like that on the road. But there does seem to be an increasing number of people that seem to be reporting movement of the military. What was that about in Philadelphia, downtown Philadelphia? And those were armored personnel carriers there, Rick. Now, the other unusual thing that happened in Philadelphia last week was the implosion

of the bridge over I-95. Yes, and there's so much to that story that is kind of leaking out and everything. Apparently, a tractor trailer caught on fire underneath the I-95 bridge. And the bridge collapsed. Got so hot that the bridge collapsed. And that... That's cut off...

A major artery. I-95. Right, going up the eastern corridor. It's so traumatic to the transportation system, they expected the repercussions of that to add half a percentage point to inflation as we move into the next month. That's just one disruption, one road here in the U.S. And it will be something that will be a problem for years to come. So, we're just speculating. That's all we're doing.

Medvedev's threat, the hacker threat, the hacks that have happened in the past 72 hours, the movement of troops. What do you think, Doc? I think we're moving military equipment for sure to Europe. I really do feel like that. We're moving massive amounts of U.S. military equipment to Europe because Europe is moving its military equipment to Ukraine. So you're saying that the sudden movement of military equipment in the United States is simply the relocation to Ukraine? Then what are they doing in downtown Philadelphia?

What are they doing with Ospreys landing in a suburban California neighborhood? Well, they're preparing for when the attacks come here. Well, that's two different... Okay, but those are two different things. They're tied together, though, because the more equipment we send to Europe and then Europe ends up sending to Ukraine, the more the Russians are going to be on the offensive as well. And that leads to

that domino effect that takes place. There's going to be, we're going to see something happen either to the power grid or to a nuclear power plant or to a dam or something here in the next few months. We're just no way around it. It's coming at some point because it's the one thing that they know that we are absolutely vulnerable on, and that is our supply chain and our transportation system. If a truck fire in Philadelphia can cause a major disruption across the entire United States, imagine what several of those occurring at the same time, or just a collapse of a regional power grid somewhere,

let's say in the Northeast or out West or whatever it might be. Doc, was the, I mean, again, we're speculating, was the fire in Philadelphia that resulted in the collapse of I-95, was it an accidental fire on the highway? Or did the government, did the military just cut off the northeast from the rest of the country? Well, now, if we're talking in the terms of that 15-minute city theory that's been flowing around, it's not a theory. They're actually putting it in place. All you have to do is knock out parts of the interstate system

here in the U.S. and you've isolated entire regions of the United States. Well, that's what I'm thinking about. If we start seeing a pattern of these things happening, then we'll know that they are segregating the American population.

And let's be clear, the interstate highway system was not made in order for you to go see Aunt Fanny. It was made to transport military vehicles. But the converse side of that— And who was the president that created the interstate highway system? It was President Eisenhower. And what did he do before he went in the White House? Well, he was a general. And he realized from his time in Europe

that where the United States was vulnerable at that time was the ability to move quickly, move our military quickly anywhere within the United States. They had so much trouble transporting equipment in Europe because it was just a maze of trails and roads and nothing coherent about it at all. So the interstate highway system was invented then. To move troops. That's right. But on the flip side, now that the interstate highway system is so integrated with everything that goes on, you can isolate regions with the interstate highway system now, too. I mean, think.

It's a lockdown. Right. Think if you wanted to travel to Atlanta, Georgia from here, and they shut down I-75, and you had to take some of the state highways or back roads, it increases your travel time. It slows things down. People would still make it,

but you lock down a couple of those state highways, too, and see how quickly you move. Doc, if you live in Delmarva, the eastern shore of Maryland, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was not operating. Right. Oh, yeah. You're stuck. You're not crossing the Chesapeake unless you're doing it by boat. You're not getting over to Baltimore. You're not going the Chesapeake unless you're doing it by boat. You're not getting over to Baltimore. You're not going to Annapolis. So people need to start thinking about strategically where they live

if key bridges disappeared. Look, the Russians are sitting there saying, okay, you Western warmongers, you're planning to blow up our Kurtz Strait Bridge. You just blew up a dam and flooded thousands of homes. What are the Russians thinking in terms of retaliation? Hoover Dam? In the Russian, they just, Medvedev just just said last week there are no moral restraints anymore

that's true there's nothing holding us back now because what he's saying is the west will do anything so we have no restraints and we'll do whatever we have to do and we need to be aware that these things could happen this summer, this fall, that we are in World War III, and for the American people, they've not paid any price for this war other than their taxes. You'll be paying this all for generations. So we've not paid a price. But the Russians have paid a price.

Their sons are coming home in coffins. And they may bring the war home to us this year. We may see things happening inside this country, which would explain why there's a movement of troops and equipment inside American cities right now. Also, Jens Stoltenberg said today that there was an urgent need to replenish NATO's devastated arsenals. And once again, why he says this, it just baffles me, but he did say it. So as he is reporting that Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg has called for the urgent replenishment of depleted NATO arsenals,

stating that the alliance needs a stronger military industry. Stoltenberg emphasized that NATO's weapon and ammunition reserves have been emptied and need to be replenished not only in Germany, but also in many other NATO countries. Now, this call for action comes as a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which has led to the depletion of NATO's military resources. Now, back in early June, Stoltenberg also said that NATO countries should increase the production of weapons against the background of the depletion of weapons stocks due to supplies in Kiev. He urged the countries of the bloc to

sign contracts. Only then, according to him, the industry will be ready to invest and increase production. Now, Russian President Vladimir Putin in turn stressed at the St. Petersburg International Forum that by now the Russian military has destroyed about 30% of the armored vehicles supplied to Ukraine by the West. Mr. Stoltenberg spoke at a conference in Europe today. I think it was in Germany. And we've got a short clip of his remarks. Let's watch it. We also need a more robust defense industry.

And some of you are present here today. Vi må også ha en mer robust selskapindustri, og noen av dere er her i dag. Våre kjøp og munisjestokk er deplette og må bli oppført. Ikke bare i Tyskland, men i mange land i NATO. I siste uken hadde jeg priviliget av å sammenhente i en produktiv møte med selskapindustrirepresentanter. Vi diskuterte hvordan vi kunne bestere produksjonen. the privilege of engaging in a productive meeting with defense industry representatives. We discussed how to best ramp up production, secure supply chains, and remove barriers to our cooperation. This is key to sustain our support to Ukraine and ensure our own defenses. I'm going to jump down to number 36 for our guys in the control room, and then I'll go to number 32.

So this was New York Post. Russians send Soviet-era tanks packed with explosives into Ukraine. So this is, it was being described as a suicide tank except there wasn't really anybody in it right it was remote remote controlled tank packed with explosives that drove into the ukrainian uh line of tanks and and then exploded and blew up a lot of people and military hardware. So they basically turned Soviet air tanks into drones, if you will, explosive drones that didn't fly, but they rolled into Ukraine. So the New York Post is reporting that Russian soldiers have been using Soviet air tanks rigged with explosives and remotely controlled to attack Ukrainian positions.

This tactic, which some consider a last-ditch effort by Russia's military, is a sign of desperation by the Kremlin in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The report includes video footage of a T-54 tank exploding after striking a mine and being hit by a Ukrainian anti-tank missile. The attack reportedly took place just 200 feet from Ukrainian soldiers, and it's unclear how many casualties were sustained. Now, Russian media claimed that the remote-controlled explosive device caused a number of Ukrainian casualties, but those figures could not be confirmed. The latest moves just come days after Russian hypersonic and cruise

missiles pounded Kiev Friday. And the attack was taking place as a high-ranking delegation of African leaders and top officials had arrived in Ukraine to discuss peace options. Ukrainian leader Zelensky said the strike on Kiev during the delegation's visit showed that Putin either did not control his army or was irrational. I don't think either is the case. We have some video clip here of one of those tanks moving in. And remember, now, this is shaded by Ukrainian media, but look at the explosion that took place. If the Russians are using that amount of explosives that deep in Ukraine, can you imagine?

The thing about this, a remote-controlled tank. 70-year-old tank. 70-year-old World War II tank loaded with explosives, driven remotely into the enemy's camp and detonated. You've got to hand it to the enemy's camp and detonate it. You got to hand it to the Russians. They're recycling 70-year-old military equipment. But I don't believe for a moment. But they haven't brought out the new stuff yet. Right.

I don't believe for a moment that this is an act of desperation at all. This is just, hey, we've got all these. The one thing we've got is lots of tanks. Russia has over 12,000 tanks. That's more than all of Europe combined. So if they turned 100 tanks, World War II tanks, into suicide tanks.

Right. I mean, think of the terror that does to the Ukrainian military. But to Russia, they've just got rid of a hundred old tanks right now we'll go to the next one this is a a task news agency report today russian ministry defense showed footage of the defeat of the leopard 2 as the german tanks a russian drone this is a separate attack right this is this is using a a an aerial drone to come in and blow up the German tank. So according to a report by TASS, the Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage of a Russian drone successfully targeting and destroying a Leopard 2 tank, which is the main battle tank used by the German military. The video was released in response to the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia,

with the Russian government claiming the Ukrainian forces have lost over 160 tanks and 360 armored vehicles. Now, during the counteroffensive launched by the Ukrainian armed forces on June 4th, the Leopard tank has been utilized. However, the Russian Ministry of Defense has claimed multiple instances of destroying tanks of this kind. And on January 25th, back at the beginning of the year, the German cabinet confirmed it would send 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. And then in February, they approved the delivery of 178 Leopard 1A5 tanks to Kiev. We want to show you some video. This is the Russians targeting a Leopard 2 tank. They don't actually show the explosion, so we have to loop it a couple times. But this is video leaked by the Russian Ministry of Defense

showing their capabilities of knocking out the Leopard 2 tanks. And once again, as we said, the Russians are claiming we've already knocked out 160 of these kind of tanks and over 300 armored vehicles as well. Which explains Jens Stoltenberg saying, we need more weapons. Right. Because they're getting blown up in Ukraine.

Right. But even if they start today, it's a year out in production. I mean, it's not like they're going to push out tanks tomorrow. So it's going to be an interesting summer. Doc, London's Financial Times reporting that Lockheed Martin is eager to train Ukrainian pilots if NATO allies send the F-16s to Ukraine. That's right, Rick. In a recent report by the Financial Times, it's been revealed that Lockheed Martin, a prominent U.S. defense manufacturer, has expressed its readiness to provide support to Ukrainian pilots in operating and maintaining their F-16 fighter jets. Now, this offer of assistance comes in light of the

ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine with tensions escalating. In the event that NATO countries agree to provide military aid to Ukraine, Lockheed Martin has stated it is prepared to offer its expertise and resources to ensure that Ukrainian pilots are able to effectively operate and maintain their F-16 fighter jets. To quote the chief operating officer, we are standing by ready to not only backfill need as it arises with the new F-16 builds, but also any modifications to F-16s, as well as training, equipment, and systems, said Frank St. John, chief operating officer.

He stressed that any decision that would be made only as a result of discussions between Ukraine, the U.S., and other Western allies. Lockheed Martin is the largest U.S. defense contractor by sales, but it's not directly engaged in government talks. The company had historically provided training support to more than 16 countries, St. John said. But, Rick, once that starts happening, don't we really have u.s involvement in ukraine at that point i mean we have a u.s company providing training support we have more u.s involvement that's all it is do these defense contractors like lockheed martin not not think through that they become targets in World War III. I mean, I'm talking about their facilities inside the USA.

I mean, their facilities become targets in World War III. Medvedev said last week, all moral restraints are gone. We can do anything we want to do now. Because the West is doing anything it wants to do. Does war blind people that much, Rick? Or does it just make you so bloodthirsty that you just, you don't care what blood it is.

It could be your blood. I guess so. But I think everybody, especially, I mean, Lockheed Martin, they better be stepping up their security. You don't know what's going to happen now inside the USA. And these defense contractors would be a major target. um rt is reporting that poland is hosting training camps inside poland to train they would say insurrectionists i would say terrorists yes to carry out a a coup inside belarus and overthrow president lukashenko it's not limited to Poland either. We'll get into the story here. So according to RT, Belarusian exiles in Poland are being trained for a future armed insurrection in their home nation,

with militants also potentially playing a role in the Ukraine conflict. Now, the training camps are reportedly being hosted by a, quote, NATO state, unquote, with hundreds of recruits being trained by BIPOL, a group of former officers from Belarus, Belarus' security services, who fled the country following protests back in 2020. Now, the Belarusian government claims to be closely monitoring BIPOL's activities, accusing the group of using terrorist tactics to pave the way for an insurrection in Belarus. Now, the recruits at the boot camp as common Belarusians who want to topple the government of President Alexander Lukashenko in response to a Stalin-esque campaign of torture and detention that has all but silenced dissent in the country. Now, BIPOL claims to have carried out several combat missions on Belarusian soil, including a drone attack on a Russian A-50 airborne radar at Machalutsky Air Base near Minsk. Now, the Belarusian government claimed it was closely

monitoring BIPOL's activities, including training camps located in Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic. We know particular recruitment posts, know who is involved. We know the training camps, the identities of instructors, who teaches which parts of the course. That's coming from Belarus' security chief, Ivan Turtle. He said that back in April. I want to jump down to number 49, and I want to show you, this is the original article in the Times of London over the weekend. This is where the RT got this information.

Just to show you that it's not RT putting out the information. RT is reporting what the London Times reported over the weekend. Yes. That the West is training people in Poland to overthrow Belarus. And what do we hear about Belarus in the West? We hear it's a dictatorship. Lukashenko is a dictator. He's a madman, too.

He's a madman. He's crazy. And you hear all these very evil things about Lukashenko in the Belarusian government. But one thing I read today, Doc, is, well, let me ask you, what would you do legally? What would you do with pedophiles? Legally? Legally. I'm not talking about the Missouri way.

I'm talking about what would you do legally? Lock them up, throw away the key. I mean, so try to rehabilitate them, but I've not yet met a rehabilitated pedophile. And I worked in prison ministry. I read today that there's a bill going through the Belarusian parliament that would castrate pedophiles. Well, we used to do that. We used to, but now we glorify pedophiles. Right.

So which country is evil? Is it Belarus that says, hey, you molest our children. We're going to fix that problem. Or is it America that says we're going to have the police defend the transvestites that are shaking their genitals in the face of little children. Which one's the evil country? So the West would castrate children when they're children. Yes. But the Belarusians would castrate them as adults for molesting children. Molesting children.

So both sides are castrating. So which one's evil? See, this is the danger of propaganda. Our propaganda is written by mentally deficient, sick, perverted people. Defending a perverted system. And then we read these headlines, belarus evil lukashenko crazy but really when you look at it you go well wait a minute that's that's a safer place if you're a child that's a safer place to live isn't it right and you know they use the same chemicals to castrate

criminals that they do children. The same chemicals. Alright. So who's evil? So sick. Alright, I want to go down now to number 50, Daily Caller. Chinese into arm quietly operates service centers

in seven American cities. Well, according to government records reviewed by the Daily Color News Foundation and state media reports, the Chinese intelligence agency has established what they're calling service centers in seven American cities,

all of which have had contact with Beijing's National Police Authority. Now, these centers, known as Overseas Chinese Service Centers, or OCSCs, are operated by the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department, the UFWD, which has been characterized by at least one government commission as a Chinese intelligence service. The UFWD claims that the centers were created to promote Chinese culture and assist Chinese citizens living abroad. That's according to Chinese government records. Now, after an extensive review of Chinese government and state-run media reports,

the Daily Caller Foundation identified OCSC branches in San Francisco, California, Houston, Texas, Omaha, Nebraska, St. Paul, Minnesota, Salt Lake City, Utah, St. Louis, Missouri, and Charlotte, North Carolina. The national security threat is real, and that's coming from Will Mackey, a actors, are operating in our country for whatever reason, Maggie said, adding that American nonprofits performing Chinese governmental duties is inconsistent with diplomatic protocol, if not illegal. Several politicians weighed in on this as well, Rick, including Chris Stewart. These centers aren't here to help people get a business license or help resolve a domestic dispute.

This is coming from Utah Republican Representative Chris Stewart, who's a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. They're here to pressure to use coercion and use malicious interference. And also, I believe Marsha Blackburn had this to say. Tennessee Republican Marsha Blackburn told the Daily Caller,

it was a direct violation of our nation's sovereignty for the CCP to set up shop on our soil to threaten, surveil, and kidnap Chinese American citizens with a dissenting opinion. Now, I don't agree with China doing that, but we do it too. That's true. We set up FBI field offices all over the world, and we don't think anything about it. What's

the purpose of an FBI field office in, let's say, Sudan? What's the purpose there? Are we tracking down criminals? No, we're tracking American citizens. Right. But I don't want to be fair right now, Doc. I want to be hard-nosed about this. This is the result of having politicians like Joe and Hunter Biden. Well, I agree, yes. They're compromised, and China's getting their money's worth. So when you see headlines that China has police stations and service centers throughout America,

now you can't connect those stories with the Hunter Biden, Joe Biden bribes. Right. That's what it looks like when a foreign country bribes a national politician. This is what they get for their money. And what we don't know is what else that they've gotten for their money. We found out months ago that they were getting flights of their spy balloons over military installations. And it had been going on for years. And we knew about it. We knew about it. We tracked them. they did figure eights in the sky according to the reports they were doing figure eight maneuvers over u.s military installations and biden knew about it it means blinkin knew about it mark milley knew about it they all knew about it? Why didn't they say anything?

Because the fix is in. We've been sold out by our own leaders. And there will be a day, if we don't rise up and stop this, there'll be a day that this country falls to China. And suddenly, China is running the country. I'm not so sure that they don't own the U.S. Federal Reserve right now.

It's very possible that they own the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is a private bank. It's not a public institution. How do we know China does not own the Federal Reserve? We don't. And what's the collateral? The mortgages. All the mortgages of America.

While we're talking about big banks, Wall Street Journal reporting today, the internal J.P. Morgan report provides new details on the bank's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, another agent for a foreign government who got away with molesting children for decades because he worked for a foreign government. Right. Now, this is coming from a report that was actually generated back in 2019, but now new details are emerging. The Wall Street Journal reports that an internal J.P. Morgan report linked to Jeffrey Epstein has new details about the bank's ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The report found that Epstein had provided business advice

to former J.P. Morgan executives, Jess Staley, and had invited him to meetings with senior officials in foreign governments. J.P. Morgan has since acknowledged that it was a mistake to have dealt with Epstein and that it would not have associated with him if it had known about his alleged sex trafficking. Now, Epstein also helped Staley with more personal matters, the review found, such as the application process for Staley's daughter into a Ph.D. program at Columbia University. Lawyers for Staley, who left Barclays in 2021, denied the allegations against him. He has said he regrets his relationship with Epstein.

Staley's daughter didn't respond to requests for comment. The 2019 J.P. Morgan report said that Epstein had appeared to have forged close relationships with senior executives and government officials, including Dubai Sultan Ahmed bin Salim and British politician Peter Mandelson. Epstein tried to connect these associates to Staley and the bank for business deals and international expansions. Now, it was this report that revealed the more personal relationship between Staley and Epstein. Staley told Epstein about executive changes at J.P. Morgan ahead of their announcement and discussed deals J.P. Morgan was trying to execute. The two men discussed women, the report shows,

and referred to themselves, each other, as family. You remember this story we did a couple years back? Remember the emails that were going back and forth? That's what's in this report. So that was fun. Say hi to Snow White, Staley wrote in a July 2010 email to Epstein, according to the report. And then Epstein responded, what character would you like next?

And Staley replied, Beauty and the Beast. So there was more going on there than just banking and professional relationships. And JPMorgan Chase agreed last week to pay $290 million in a settlement. Just so they could shut this story up. That's right, and get out of it. Okay, now I want to jump down to number 64. So there's a term that entered our vocabulary about 15 years ago, a fake made up crime, hate speech. And many of us knew 10, 15 years ago where this was going. This was going to become an attack on free speech. Well, now the promoters of hate speech legislation are just coming out and saying, yeah, it is about shutting down free speech. Yes.

You're right. And we're proud of it. This is in Ireland. A Irish Green Party senator feels the necessity to restrict freedoms while she was making her comments on the floor of the legislature, the parliament, about a hate speech bill. She just openly came out and said, Doc, yes, we are going to restrict free speech. So a Green Party senator has told the Senate that the work of legislators debating a proposed hate speech bill is about restricting freedom.

So the Shanad is currently discussing proposed legislation on hate speech and hate crimes which have passed through Da'al Iran. The proposed addition to the Irish statute books to create a new crime of hate speech, incitement to violence or hatred, as well as upgrading existing criminal acts when aggravated by hatred. So, Rick, if I say something to you and you hate it, have I violated your rights? If you, you know, if I interpreted it and say what you said was hateful, it made me feel uncomfortable. I feel threatened. Am I, can I say words that would incite violence in you? What words would I have to speak to incite violence in you? What words would I have to speak to incite violence in you?

Seems to me like the problem is on the person receiving the words, right? Well, when you think about it, all law is about the restriction of freedom. That's exactly what we're doing here. We are restricting freedom, the Green Party senator said. If your views and other people's identities go to make their lives unsafe, insecure, and cause them such deep discomfort that they cannot live in peace, then I believe it is our job as legislators to restrict those freedoms for the common good, Ms. O'Reilly added. So if you're uncomfortable.

Yes. That's the standard now. That's the standard now. If I just make you feel uncomfortable, words, words are now illegal. Right. But if I'm a Christian, I can be as uncomfortable as I'm allowed, right? It's not a two-way street. No, Christians are not, have no rights. If a Christian feels uncomfortable, you have no right to complain about being uncomfortable. It's only people who feel uncomfortable by the words of Christians. So really, the standard isn't hate. It's not inciting violence.

The standard is comfort. The standard is we don't want to hear opinions that disagree with our opinion. Right. And we're going to pass laws to make it illegal for you to say words. But that's their opinion. That's their opinion. And I'm uncomfortable with that. It doesn't matter. You don't have any rights.

Another group that doesn't have any rights are Palestinians. Financial Times today is rarely raid on West Bank City sparks intense battle with Palestinian militants. They're always militant talk. How about they're just people that want the Zionists to go home? And where's home? Europe and the United States. They're white European colonial settlers. And where's the Palestinian home? Right where they're at right now. Yes, that's their home. They are home and they've been under attack for about 70 years with white European land stealers in Palestine taking their land. They're not militants. They're what you and I

would be if the Chinese showed up here. You're right. Would you fight to get rid of the Chinese if they came by the millions into the United States and started taking houses and farms? Would you fight? Well, then you would be a militant. That's right. And they disarmed the Palestinians a long time ago. So the only thing the Palestinians had to fight with are rocks and words. And the Israelis don't want words either. So Israeli forces killed at least five Palestinians

and wounded nine, one more in an intense gun battle with militants that erupted during a raid in the occupied West Bank, said Palestinian officials. The fighting, during which Israeli forces deployed helicopter gunships over the West Bank for the first time since the second intifada ended in 2005, is the latest incident in a sustained escalation in violence that has gripped the territory for more than a year. A Palestinian health official said a 15-year-old boy was among those killed

and that 23 of the wounded were in serious condition. A Palestinian photojournalist covering the raid was also among those injured. Israel said seven personnel, two soldiers and five border police, were injured during the fighting and had been evacuated for treatment. As the fighting was unfolding on Monday, Bezalel Smoltrich, a hardline settler and minister in Israel's defense ministry, demanded a more aggressive approach, saying Israel should replace tweezer activity with broad operation in the north of

the West Bank to restore deterrence. Translated, he wants a much larger military presence there. Doc, what he's saying is we're not just going to use tweezers to remove a couple Palestinians here and there. We're going to come in with a massive show of military force and sweep the Palestinians out of their homes. That's right. And he says the time has come to use air forces and armored forces, he wrote on Twitter. I will demand an urgent cabinet meeting on the matter. So he's going to bomb residential communities. That's what he's saying. We're going to use the Israeli Air Force. We're going to bomb Arab towns. We're going to use machine guns. We're going to use machine guns.

We're going to use aircraft with machine guns to shoot people. That's what the man's saying, Doc. Smotrich is a bloodthirsty, whacked out, crazy Zionist. Netanyahu has brought to power the most radical, dangerous group of Zionists since 1948. And today, Netanyahu gave Smotrich full authority in the West Bank to expand all the settlements.

The settlements are where the white European Jews have come in and are building settlements in the Palestinian lands. And Smotrich today was given full authority to use the military to expand those settlements, which means troops go home to home, evicting the Palestinians from their homes and their farms. My gosh, do people understand what the Jews are doing in Palestine? How can these Christians in America continue to defend this outrageous assault against the Palestinian people? It is deplorable. It is absolutely unjustified violence against the Palestinian people. And hardly anybody in America defends the Palestinian people. I continue to speak for them because what is happening to them is unjust, outrageous, and indefensible. And it's only the power of the Zionist lobby in America

that keeps the news of what they're doing to the Palestinians covered up because they control the news media. They control all the instruments of communication. That's why nobody knows about what they're doing and they get away with it. They can kill Palestinian boys, 15 years old. Nobody knows about it. They get away with it, doc. Rick, they, you know, the Israeli army can kill American citizens and they got away with it. They killed a woman last year. And earlier this year, they killed a 78 year old man that they had detained. He was a troublemaker. He died in their custody. And even the State Department, the U.S. State Department got upset

about that one. But the soldiers won't be dismissed? Of course they won't. They have too much power in America. Where did they get the power? Jeffrey Epstein. They got videos of American politicians. The dirty deeds.

We're going to end with one more story. So, you know, one thing that the U.S. Senate was always known for was decorum. That there are rules, there are procedures, there are standards, the way that you are to act inside the U.S. Senate. The way that you dress, the way that you are to act inside the U.S. Senate, the way that you dress, the way that you speak to other senators. There's 250 years of tradition, of a decorum that is required to be a member of the U.S. Senate.

There was an expectation that the people that occupied seats in the Senate were men that had established themselves in industry and the military, whatever it might have been, at least in the early years of the formation. They were the large landowners generally. But like you said, there was an expectation that the Senate had a little bit higher standard than the house in the house the house of the people until now until the democrats put a brain dead senator in office in the state of pennsylvania a man that can barely speak and wears hoodies and shorts and sneakers on official duties. And here's a video of him

with the president of the United States who's also brain dead. Can you imagine the two of them? It ought to be a Biden-Fetterman ticket. Can you imagine what that would sound like? The two of them together on a campaign trail? Between one saying God save the queen and another trying to put a sentence together,

it would be quite the challenge. Well, here's a short video of John Fetterman of Pennsylvania with President Biden making some remarks at a press conference a few days ago. President, a little over a year ago, a little over a year ago, the president and I were standing right next to each other at a collapsed bridge in western Pennsylvania, a bridge that I drove over just the night before with my young son. And he showed up with just hours hours after that that bridge collapsed there and he promised to make sure that any resources that they needed and any help and support and guess what and guess what that that bridge was rebuilt less than a year well well in front of time and again and now i'm standing next to the president again next to a collapsed bridge here and he is here to commit to work with the governor and the

the delegation to make sure that we get this fixed quick fast as well too. This is a president that is committed to infrastructure yeah and then on top of that the the jewel kind of a law of the inflation bill that is going to make sure that there's going to be bridges all across like this all across the America getting rebuilt. It's a pleasure to be here and to introduce my friend, Congressman Boyle Bile. Thank you. What kind of experiment did Fort Detrick produce, John Fetterman? I'm sorry, you caught me off guard with that one, Rick. It is painful.

I mean, for the Democrats to trot him out like that, you know, it's painful. I mean, that for the Democrats to try him out like that, um, I, you know, it, it's embarrassing, but you know, the infrastructure program and bill and everything, this was something that they've been touting now for months. And it just so happens, you have a major problem, a major event that happens in Fetterman's area of purview that directly ties it together, I don't think it's a coincidence. When are they going to tell Fetterman to put on a suit? When's Mitt Romney going to speak up? I mean, wouldn't you think Mitt Romney would be someone who would say, you are not allowed to come into the Senate dressed like this? Well, if anyone said anything, they would accuse that individual of picking on the handicapped or whatever it might be.

But if that's the case, if he can't function, I'm more concerned about his ability to form a sentence. I would forgive a lot if he could form a sentence. But where's the surgeon of arms that just stops him and says, sir, you can't come into the Senate dressed in a hoodie. There are some restaurants you can't walk into dressed like that. Much less the U.S. Senate, Rick. It's a different set of standards now. Sure is. Hey, that's it for us today.

Susan gave me this one today. This is from Khalid, who is,

I'll just say from Europe. And he said to my brother, Rick, and of course to Doc and the team, many people like me around the world rely on you for truthful information.

supporting us and praying for us. And I hope, I would love to get together and meet all of you. I do have something exciting.
