Unknown:
Alright. Hey, folks. This is Joe Russo. Welcome to the podcast. We are coming to you live tonight from the Asylum Studios, broadcasting from the pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass, and doing the very best that we can to bring you the best quality political talk radio we could muster without all the bluster. Alright, folks. We got a show for you tonight. Got a bunch of stuff going on in the news. Got a bunch of stuff we're gonna talk about. Also have, a guest this evening. We're gonna have, Charlie Johnson on. And, we're gonna be excited to talk about, what exactly is a chief consciousness officer.
Now, I've not heard of that before, so this is gonna be all new to me. So I'm excited to learn about it myself, so I hope you guys are too. But, we're gonna do the best we can tonight, and hopefully, it'll be something interesting for you. Alright. Well, couple of things. Something I forgot to mention, on Monday's show. And, let me just turn this down a little bit. There we go. So something I forgot to mention on Monday's show was that, this past weekend, we had an election here in, Eagle Pass. We had a election day was on Saturday, May.
And, as you know, we've had Aaron Valdez, who is, one of the candidates for mayor in Eagle Pass on the show a couple of times. We have extended invitations out to, one of his, his, rivals, opponents, better. Right? Yeah. Opponents. Monica Cruz, but, they have not responded to our request for them to come on the show. So, we had a good opportunity to sit down with Aaron, Valdez for a couple of shows, a few couple of hours, actually, and it was, really very interesting shows. We had a great conversation. And, as you guys know, on the second show that we did, I offered my endorsement of Aaron Valdez for mayor. So, this past weekend was actually election day.
And, so, it ended up that, this, this mayoral race has to go into a, into a runoff. So the runoff is gonna be on June. So, so if you're listening in the Eagle Pass area, please, make note of that. June. See, the thing that worries me about runoff elections is that especially here in Eagle Pass, because Eagle Pass, you have a population of more or less 30,000 people just rounding it off, and, only about 8,000 people came out to vote. So the concern that I have is, for a runoff election, you know, how many people are not gonna show up now? Because they've already voted once, and it's it's an inconvenience to have to go out and vote again, for the same, for the same race. So that's my main concern. So if that's your mentality, if that's how you're thinking about this, stop thinking that way. You have to get out there and vote.
And I'm I'm I'm endorsing again Aaron Valdez for mayor of Eagle Pass, and, I hope that you'll check him out. You'll look at his positions. You'll look at his website. You'll check him out on Facebook, his Instagram account. He's all over the place, and, you need to get out and vote. And, again, my endorsement is for Aaron Valdez. You vote who you feel you need to vote for, but, I firmly endorse him, and I I think he's gonna be a great mayor here in Eagle Pass. So please don't forget, get out and vote June in this mayoral runoff election here in Eagle Pass. And, I feel terrible that I didn't mention it on Monday. So, we're gonna make sure that we mention it as frequently as he can, in the upcoming shows. So, hopefully, you get out there and vote. Please, it's important. You gotta do it. You gotta do it. Eagle Pass has to go in a in a direction that that Aaron has vision for, and I think it's gonna be the best vision for Eagle Pass of the candidates that are out there. So, please, make sure you get out there, make sure you vote.
Every vote counts. Alright. You need a bigger turnout than what we had on election day. So let's do it. Alright. Eagle Pass. Let's do it. Alright. I hope you guys had a good day yesterday. We didn't do a show, yesterday. As you know, we changed our schedule back down to the, original plan, which was Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

So one of the products that I take, as you guys know, is the Ultimate Irish Sea Moss. Alright? Now I take that, I've been taking that now for, well, almost two months. And, when I tell you that there is an absolute difference, in in my health with the Ultimate Irish Sea Moss, it I am not kidding with you. This stuff is fantastic. It's loaded with natural iodine and and tons of other vitamins and and minerals that your body absolutely needs. You know, I also take the ultimate turmeric. You know, I have arthritis, so it, you know, the you know, turmeric, everybody knows, helps. But this ultimate turmeric has the highest concentration possible of, of of turmeric oils in the product. So it is absolutely essential.
Essential. You need to try this. Alright. Also has black pepper and ginger root, which helps with absorption, mineral absorption in your body. Wonderful stuff. And, again, been taking that now for over two months. Also, been taking this stuff. This is optimal human. This is a superfood. This stuff is amazing. Superfood greens, functional mushrooms, 10,000,000,000 probiotics, digestive enzymes, 90 plus powerful ingredients including ashwagandha, cordyceps, lion's mane, spirulina, prebiotics, chlorella. There's so much in here that they had to actually, you know, put it in super small print all on the back here. Alright? Just so you could, see what exactly what's in there. This stuff is amazing. I've been taking this now for this is my third month on this, and this stuff is just amazing. Alright. It gives you a a nice steady energy throughout the course of the day. You don't feel like you're overloaded. You feel like you don't feel like you're weighted down. I use it as a meal supplement. So usually my lunch would be, you know, somebody would ask me, I'm having for lunch. I'm, you know, I'm having my liquid grass. This stuff is amazing. You need to try this stuff out. You'll really like it. And, one of the benefits that I've gotten from it, you know, it's not listed as a benefit on there, but what I've gotten from it, I lost some weight. I lost, like, almost 30 pounds. So, this is great stuff. You do need to take this. Alright. Now the other thing that I've been taking now I started taking this just, I wanna say two and a half weeks ago. We actually opened the first bottle of it on the show that we did with Bobby Gray.
So, this is the the ultimate methylene blue. Okay? This stuff is amazing. Now the first time I took it, I didn't really get much out of it. Like, I didn't feel anything, like, they all talk about, you know, the tingling sensations and and all that stuff. But now that I've been on it for about two, two and a half weeks, I'm starting to really feel it. I'm starting to feel the the effects of this stuff, and I'm telling you, I am super pleased with it. Now I purposely did not take my blue methylene today because I wanna do it here on the show with you because it's been because we did it on the first time, the the the that Thursday night that we did it with Bobby Gray. So I'm gonna have my water right here. Let me turn off the, banner for a moment so you could see what I'm doing so you know I'm not not messing around with you. Alright. So there's our water.
Give this a good shake. Now I've been taking the full dose. Okay? And, I'm gonna tell you within about fifteen minutes or so, I start to feel it. I start to feel that little tingle, down the hands because what it does at a mitre mitochondrial level, mitochondrial level. There we go. At a mitochondrial level, this stuff, it produces energy. It's almost like electricity. Alright? And, so you start to feel these little tingles and and and whatnot. It's it's amazing. And on top of that, it, it just it gives you a sense of calm, a sense of relaxation, but with energy. And you're not jittery, you're not jumping around, like, if you if you've had an energy drink or some some nonsense like that. This stuff is primo. This stuff is really good. Alright. So we're gonna take it right here. So I'm gonna give it a shake.
Alright. Gonna load up the dropper here. Alright. Here we go. So I'm gonna put my whole dosage in there. Yes. You see that? Make sure we get it all. Alright. Ultra methylene blue. Great stuff. And you can get it at the alexjonesstore.com/joe. And, you can get it, if you do a monthly subscription to it, you get it for, like, $29 as opposed to the 40 something dollars that, an individual bottle is. So that's a good deal. So you should definitely try it out. And the benefit to that is also is that if it, you know, if if, you know, they won't they won't run out of stock for it.
So if you try to buy a bottle and they're low on stock, the people who are subscribed to it would get the benefit of it. Alright? So here we go. Ultimate blue methylene or methylene blue. Alright. There you have it. Yes. I did finish it. See? Hold on. So the ultimate methyl the ultra methylene blue, you need to try this. It has a nice taste to it also, by the way. It's it's they use, natural mint and vanilla, so it has a really nice flavor to it. Nothing overwhelming and nothing, nothing that's that's like, because methylene blue doesn't really taste good to begin with.
But, this stuff is really good. What I like to do too is I I put it in the in the full glass of water, but sometimes what I'll do is I'll take, like, sparkling water, or I'll take some sparkling water that has, like, like a light flavor to it, like a lime or or something like that. And I'll mix that in with that, and it's really nice, especially when it's ice cold. Oh, so good. So this stuff is fantastic. You need to try it out. Ultra Methylene Blue, the ultimate human, the optimal human, prebiotics, superfood.
This stuff, amazing. Try it out. Alright. Got that done. Got that done. You know what? I'm already feeling some of that tingling. Alright. That's good. Alright. So we're at the point here where we are going to, say goodbye to the folks that are that are watching on Rumble. On Rumble. Yeah. We're gonna say goodbye to the folks that are watching on YouTube, Twitch, and x, and we're gonna invite you to head to the App Store on your phone, download the Rumble app. It's absolutely free. And then when you do that, make sure you find us at Joe Roos, and, join us there because that's where we'll be. The show will continue live on Rumble in just a moment. Alright? So and if you don't come on over that way, that's fine. We'll catch up with you next time, but you're gonna miss a great show, with Charlie Johnson and some of the stuff we're gonna talk about in the news today. Alright. With that said, talk to you guys later.
Alright. Well, it's just us now. And, I think, I think Charlie's running a little bit behind. So, we were expecting him to sign in about 07:15 or so, but he has not. So what we'll do here is I'm going to move this up over here, and we are going to get into some of the news. How about that? Sound good? I thought so. Alright. Well, without any further ado, it's time for the news. Alright. Well, in nothing burger news, let's talk a little bit about, the press conference that took place today. So earlier today, this was breaking news. I'm sure you guys probably heard about it already for the most part. But, we today found out that the FBI is, now apparently reviewing thousands thousands of videos of, Jeffrey Epstein.
Now here's the problem. Okay? And, this is the problem that I have with this whole thing. We were told during the campaign that day one, this stuff is gonna be released. Okay. Didn't happen. There was a lot of, a lot of resistance within the FBI at the time. There was if you remember, they had that, that the the New York field office was, was, digging in, and they weren't gonna release any information to the administration. So, yeah. I understand there were some delays, and that's fine. Look. You know, those things happen. Okay? You know, you you can't expect everything to be fixed day one in reality. So we understand that. It's a figure of speech. We understand that. Then, attorney general Bondi went on to the Fox News circuit like she does frequently.
Kinda think she's auditioning for a show of her own on Fox News once once she's out of position as a, as the AG. So I'm getting fidgety because the the blue methylene is starting to kick in here. So, so so so she she she made these these, appearances on Fox News. She came out. She was like, you know, we have them. We have truckloads of them. They're on my desk. We're going through them. We're looking through all this stuff. You know? And then they had this this event at the White House. And this listen, this isn't a knock on the administration. You guys should know that by now. You know, I am a I am a supporter of Donald Trump. I am a supporter of his administration. I think that that his picks and his cabinet selections right now have been fantastic, and I think he's doing a wonderful job. I I give him an A plus on everything he's doing, and maybe an A minus on a couple of other things. But, overall, I think he's doing a fantastic job. So, and I and then you could tell in this administration, he's he's no nonsense. He's doing he he's working on his agenda, and that's it. He's not, he he's not playing games. He's not doing anything.
He's not gonna he's not compromising, you know, he's not capitulating. He's not doing anything. He he is do he is taking care of his agenda. Whatever he promised on the campaign trail is what he's following through with. Now having said that, AG Bondi set up this event at the White House, if you remember, where they invited, a lot of the alternative media, the social influencers, the social media influencer influencers, and and those those folks to come to the White House, they gave them these really nice neat binders that that had, information in them from the Epstein list. They made they made this whole big production out of it.
And what was it? It was information that that was already publicly available. It was information that was already redacted, even though they said there would be no redactions. So, it turned out to be a real nothing. Nothing new. Okay. Understand. You know, we needed to get out in front of this thing, and we needed to start presenting some information out to the public and, you know, to to to make the the the the promise that was made to to show the progress on the promise that was made. Okay? Fair enough? Well, here we are, over a hundred days into the administration.
There's still no Epstein list. There's still no information that we don't already know circulating. The AG's office had been has been kinda quiet about it. You had, you had the the deputy director of the FBI out there saying, you know, things are working behind the scenes on a number of issues, not just the Epstein stuff, but on on a number of issues. You know, things are working behind the scene. We're we're getting, you know, we're getting the job done, so on and so forth. And I trust deputy director Bongino. You know, I I trust him, and I trust his judgment. I trust Kash Patel.
I think that, they walked into something that they probably weren't really expecting to walk into. It's probably worse than what they imagined it would be. So, you you know, and as somebody who worked in investigations for for my agency back in the city for a little while, I understand that that investigations take time. You can't you don't just, you know, walk in, and you can't always publicize all the information that you have in your possession because some things are are incredibly sensitive, for the prosecution of the case. So understand that. Totally understand that.
But we're I think the peep I think people are starting to get a little tired of seeing AG Bondi making the rounds on Fox News, again, our audition tour, and people wanted to see some results. Now today, there was a, press conference, where, AG Bondi says that the FBI is diligently reviewing and diligently going through thousands of videos of Jeffrey Epstein Epstein with children and, children, child porn. So here here's a clip from the,
[00:24:51] Unknown:
from the, press conference. Here's AG Bondi. So James Palmer said yesterday, all the Epstein thousand.
[00:25:00] Unknown:
No. No. The FBI, yeah, the FBI, they're reviewing there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims. And no one victim will ever get released. It's just the volume, and that's what they're going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that. I I haven't seen that statement, but I'll call him later and find out.
[00:25:27] Unknown:
Alright. So you heard it from her directly. Okay? Now this press conference was about, Operation Restore Justice, alright, which, which, was for which brought in about 200 little bit more than 200 arrests of alleged child sex abuse offenders over the last five days. Great. That is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. The the reference that she made to, that that where she said that she hadn't heard his comment, but she was going to call him, had to do with, representative James Comer. And James Comer said James Comer appeared on on the, the Benny Johnson show, and, James, James, Comer said that, well, he made a claim.
He made a claim. Let's, let's take a look at it. Or not. Okay. Let's try that again. Alright. Well, we seem to be having a problem with that. So let me see. Try one more time.
[00:26:46] Unknown:
What's next? I mean, we we did a little bit of a preview on the
[00:26:55] Unknown:
Alright. So not sure what's happening there with the, with that particular clip, but, we can always do this. We'll do a screen share.
[00:27:08] Unknown:
What's next? I mean, we we did
[00:27:11] Unknown:
Let me bring it up on x as a screen share. Sorry. Give me one second.
[00:27:23] Unknown:
A little bit of a preview on the Epstein files, obviously. That's that's like finding a unicorn, in Washington DC. You have come on and talked about that on this program just just in the sake of for the sake of transparency, which is very big for you. And so in Yeah. You know, in in closing, any motion on that, any movement on that? We hear that there's a timeline now. I hope
[00:27:45] Unknown:
I hope James has the Epstein files because I don't think the department of justice has them or at least the attorney general does not have them or she would have turned them over. The president ordered them released. The attorney general ordered them released. We all know they have not been released. And one of my biggest fears that I had and I expressed this with was Kash Patel and a lot of people, Stephen Miller and a lot of people going into the to the new administration. I'm like, you know, I hope they're not shredding documents right now. This was a few weeks before the transition. I said, I hope they're not shredding document, but you all need to go on that first day and try to get all this stuff released because, you know, my fear is from from what I've dealt with in investigations and and in communication with with this deep state apparatus is they're probably in their shredding documents as we speak. So, hopefully, someone has a a copy of that and and, you know, I I hope we find out because our task force has done everything led by Anna Polina Luna. You you had her on your show many times. I mean, she's relentless. She's persistent.
She's pretty frustrated right now that, that these files haven't been released even though the president and the attorney general have ordered them released. But, you know and so I got I told, Anna the same thing I told Patel and everybody else. I'm like, you you assume that somebody in the deep state said, okay. We'll just put these in a file back here, this incriminating evidence on on everybody, and, maybe the next administration can can do whatever they're they wanna do with it. That's that's, unfortunately, the way it's supposed to work, but it hasn't worked with the with this deep state.
[00:29:31] Unknown:
So they're just gonna let the incriminating evidence sit there smoldering
[00:29:35] Unknown:
that could put them all in prison. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. I will they should. That's what they're supposed to do, but, you know, you and I have dealt with them. Benny, you've you've covered the deep state as well as anyone. I mean, they're they're they cover their tracks, and it's just hard for me to believe they're gonna leave incriminating evidence. If the government was involved, if the government wasn't involved, I don't think they would have any reason to protect Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton. They're never gonna be elected anything again. I don't think they would have any reason to protect Bill Gates or anybody else. The the the concern I've always had about the Epstein file was the government involved. Did the government know? Did the was the government using Epstein and the videos to blackmail the most influential people around the world?
If that's the case, then they knew there were, victims of sex crimes there, and they they did nothing. So, you know, that's that's the concern I have. If if there if the government covers this up, I I don't believe it's because of any love affair or affection for the Clinton family. Just like I never believed they were hiding and covering for the Bidens because they love Joe Biden. It was because they hated Donald Trump. You know? They didn't want their agencies to be disrupted. The same thing with the Epstein filed. I don't know this, but my concern is that, that the government may have known a lot more and may have been an an active participant, maybe with with the intentions of, intelligence gathering. Who who knows? But at the end of the day, I don't think the American people would be okay if the government knew that that crimes against young women were were, occurring, and yet they they did nothing to to intervene.

So James Comer's position is is that he thinks that these files are gone. And I don't know. I'm sure some of them is. I'm sure some of it's gone. I'm sure that, a lot of the more incriminating files have disappeared. I would not be surprised at that. Now over the past few months, AG Bondi has implied that the justice department's been going through tons of information, you know, prior to releasing any more information that's out there. But I don't know, folks. I I honestly, I don't know. I I don't think I don't have very much confidence right now in the attorney general, which is a shame because, you know, I I don't think she's a bad person. I don't think she's a bad actor in this. I don't think that, I don't think that, she's necessarily incompetent, but I think that, she's a bit maybe over her head with this. I mean, she did a great job as the, Florida AG. We know that. But as far as as far as being the attorney general for The United States, so far, it's not impressed, man.
I'm not impressed. So we're still gonna be waiting. We're still gonna be sitting around waiting for the Epstein files. Still. What else we got here? We already covered that. We already talked about that. Well, this is a big thing. This is this is something important, actually. But, you know, but international news is not the focal point of this particular show. It's what we like to talk about, you know, stuff here at home and local local issues. But, but this is something that we all should be paying attention to right now. You have two nuclear powers that have started a skirmish between the two countries, and that's India and Pakistan.
And this is a result of a terrorist attack that took place, that, that came from Pakistan into India, in, I think it was April 22 or so. So so India retaliated, and, this thing is starting to escalate. So, dozens killed as India and Pakistan clashed in worst violence in decades. India and Pakistan exchanged heavy artillery fire along their contested frontier on Wednesday after New Delhi launched a deadly missile strike on its archrival in the worst violence between nuclear armed neighbors in two decades. At least thirty eight deaths are reported with Islamabad saying twenty six civilians were killed by the Indian strikes and firing along the border, and New Delhi adding at least 12 dead from Pakistani shelling.
The latest violence exceeds India's strikes in 2019 when New Delhi said it hit several militants after a suicide bomber attacked an Indian security force convoy killing 40. The Indian army said that justice is served, reporting nine terrorist camps have been destroyed with New Delhi adding its actions have focused on measured have been focused, measured, and non escalatory in nature. Pakistan's, defense minister, Khawaja Mohammed Asif accused Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, of launching the strikes to shore up his domestic popularity, but said, Islamabad has struck back. The retaliation has already started. We won't take long to settle the score.
And, so this is this is something that we need we do need to be concerned about. Okay? Because, both sides, again, are heavily armed with nuclear weapons, and both sides have indicated very, very clearly that they have no problem using these nuclear weapons. This is not something that we need to be taking place right now, and I think that's an understatement. I think that that really absolutely goes without saying, But this is really serious stuff. Now, yesterday, Donald Trump was informed about this, and, apparently see, this is, this is Donald Trump at the White House.
[00:37:04] Unknown:
Does it have any reaction to,
[00:37:07] Unknown:
the attacks between India and Pakistan? No. It's a shame. We just heard about it just as we we were walking in the doors of the oval. Just heard about it. I guess people knew something was gonna happen based on a little bit of the past. They've been fighting for a long time. You know, they've been fighting for many, many decades and centuries, actually, if you really think about it. No. I just hope it ends very quickly.
[00:37:34] Unknown:
So we all do. Yeah. It's obvious. But, it wasn't the clip I was looking for, actually. There was a clip that, a little bit longer than that one, but but the point of it is is that, you know, we don't wanna see this escalate. And and and president Trump has extended his his, his services, you know, to help, mediate this, to help in any way possible. But this is really dangerous. This is incredibly dangerous. Now, of course, you know, Pakistan is is backed by China. So, you have to also worry about it escalating to the point where China is gonna be involved. And, you know, we're we're not this this is a very, very dangerous dangerous development, and this is something that we really do need to keep keep tabs on. And there there are basically 10 points, and, this is from Andrew Corbico, his substack.
He put together these 10 points that, should help the casual observer to better understand the dynamics behind escalating Indo Pak tensions and the Kashmir conflict that lies at their core. Alright. So, he goes on to say he goes, everyone has the right to make up their own minds about these tensions and the Kashmir conflict that lies at the core, but they should also know that there's more to all this than what might be led to believe by the organized pro Palestinian movement and the alt media community. India carried out several let me let me screen share this.
Alright. This is, posted on Infowars. So, India has carried out several surgical strikes against Pakistan on Wednesday morning as part of operation Sindor, which is its response to last month's, terrorist attack that saw allegedly Pakistani affiliated culprit slaughter over two dozen Hindu tourists who were targeted on the basis of their faith. Casual observers might be overwhelmed by the daily stream information being spread on both sides, and, so so these are the 10 points that, that that, he suggests to keep in mind. The British role in the Indo Pak tensions is a relic of the past.
He says it's true that the Indian Subcontinent's imperfect division between Hindus and Muslims was authorized by the departing British, but the roots of this policy rest in some Muslim independence activists splitting from their Hindu comrades. While the Brits exploited this for post colonial divide and rule purposes, they no longer exert anywhere near the same degree of influence. Alright? Secondly, strategic, religious, and political factors are behind it. Pakistan claims to all of Kashmir are driven by the region's hydrological importance.
It's important it's, it's majority Muslim population and military's interest in rallying a nation behind it on these grounds. These interests are typically ignored by activists in favor of drawing attention to the democratic and humanitarian dimensions of the conflict from the Pakistani perspective. This narrative diversion is meant to make their claim appeal their claims appeal to the widest possible array of people across the world. Alright. And then he has the, the organized pro Palestinian movement largely supports Pakistan. Let's see. The reason this is relevant is because casual observers can therefore expect more pro Pakistani content from pro Palestinian activist influences, including that which disparages India as a Zionist puppet.
Fourth, Israel is relevant. Israel is irrelevant to this conflict no matter what alt media claims. The alt media community is mostly favorable to the organized pro Palestinian movements, so its leading voices might amplify the aforesaid allegation even though it's bereft of truth. Many among their audience want to imagine that every major development across the world is somehow tied to a Zionist plot, but that's not the case with this one. India's closeness with Israel doesn't mean that Israel's that Israel controls it just like Israel doesn't control Russia, which is closer to Israel than India is, and has been and has been so for longer. And that's something that, that I've I've been noticing a lot lately, and that is during, of late. There's been a lot of a lot of the, you know, finger pointing at Israel, and I'm not gonna say there there isn't probably some justification for it, but I I don't I don't know that Israel is, well, politically speaking, I don't agree with Israel on a lot of things, politically speaking.
Now I know from a a religious background, from a biblical background, you know, the Bible tells us that, you know, you know, that that God will bless them, that bless blesses Israel and curse them, that curses Israel. So, yeah, it is within our best interest, of course, to, to be supportive of Israel for, you know, for God's blessings. But, with that, you know, I just because I agree with that doesn't necessarily mean I agree with everything that Israel does politically. I think Israel politically is very, very far away from where, they should be, spiritually.
Alright? Let's let's take a second here, and let's just, let's pause for just a quick moment. Folks, if you still haven't tried seventeen seventy five coffee, now is your shot. Seventeen seventy five starter kit just dropped only 1,000 units. Alright? Now that means that you're getting the bold dark roast, which is right here in my cup. This bold dark roast that hits harder than a CNN fact checker, the smooth medium roast, and the vitality mushroom coffee for clean energy and laser focus, no crash. All single origin, small batch, toxin free, and mold free.
Plus, you're also getting a gold spoon clip because freedom isn't scooped with plastic, a frother strong enough to stir up your coffee and your mother in law's political opinions, and a black 1775 tumbler that says, I don't take life advice or caffeine from a woke sea witch. So you're getting, folks, you're you're getting a hundred and $7 worth of coffee and gear for $99. This one is is is for the ones who have been watching seventeen seventy five blow up on Rumble, wondering if it's, actually worth it. And spoiler, to be honest with you, it really is. I start my day with seventeen seventy five. I finish my day during the show with seventeen seventy five. This stuff is amazing.
I love the coffee. It's fresh. I love I I get the beans, so I like to grind them up myself. But, just the smell when you open up that package, the the the of that of that bold roasted flavor, bold beans, clean fuel, and a morning routine. That totally stands for something just like rumble does. Start your day with coffee that actually backs what you believe. Seventeen seventy five coffee. Just go to 1775coffee.com/studio and grab your starter kit before they're gone. That's 1775coffee.com/studio. 17 70 5 coffee Com / studio. Alright.
So and and and God's honest truth, folks. I love seventeen seventy five coffee. Again, another thing that I would tell you that I would never tell you to try if I haven't tried it myself. So this stuff is great. Alright. So where were we? We were in, up to number five. So, talking about Israel, the same goes for claims that it's all about sabotaging bricks. Now bricks is, a group of countries that have come together to, to kinda, you know, balance out or at least try to steal some of the thunder from the American dollar. So, many in the AMC, alt alt media, are obsessed with bricks as they are with Israel's, are also as obsessed with bricks that they are with Israel. So casual observers should be prepared for a flood of claims about how these tensions are supposedly meant to sabotage bricks. The reality is that bricks isn't a block. In fact, it's just basically a talking club that discusses how to accelerate financial, multipopularity, multipolarity processes, and and issues purely perfunctory joint statements every year.
It's therefore just as irrelevant to this conflict, which is driven by driven by Assad's conception of national interest as Israel is. Then you have, that India and Pakistan accuse each other of terrorism, but respond differently. Pakistan accused India of being behind marches Jafar express terrorist attack, which builds upon years of claims that they that they might also learn about yet, Pakistan didn't kinetically retaliate against India like India just kinetically retaliate against Pakistan. This can be interpreted as either Pakistan having made up that claim as earlier ones for reasons domestic and political convenience or lacking the military confidence to initiate surgical strikes against India. Alright. So you gotta remember, that these folks, India, Pakistan, have been at each other for a very, very long time.
Like, a very long time. You're talking decades. Just like, Israel and, and, the the Islamic world have been at each other for years. Hundreds of years. Thousands of years going all the way back to Ishmael. So this is really nothing new that they accuse each other, they're gonna go back and forth with each other. But the concern now is, of course, they're nuclear armed. So this is going to explode. This could potentially explode into something that the world is not ready for. It's worth recalling that January 2024 is tit for tat Iranian Pakistani strikes. Iran and Pakistan carried out tit for tat strikes in January 2024 against alleged terrorists before patching up their problems.
Even though terrorist attacks have since surged in Pakistan's, yep, that region, Islamabad no longer blames Iran, let alone bombs let alone bombs what it claims to be terrorists there. This is worth recalling since it suggests that Pakistan either lied. Either lied about Iran's ties to terrorists or started ignoring them with the explanation equivalent to politicizing terrorism. Then you have, Pakistan, consistently seeks to multilateralize its disputes with India. There are double standards towards Pakistan's nuclear saber rattling. And this is a great article. You really should take some time and go check it out.
So these points should help the casual observer better understand the dynamics behind the escalating Indo Pak tensions and the Kashmir conflict that lies at their core. Alright. So this is a potential potential, I mean, we don't wanna see this ex we don't wanna see this blow up to a nuclear exchange. And I'm I'm really hoping, really, really hoping that this stuff gets resolved very quickly. Pakistan Fox News reports that Pakistan, calls India's strikes an act of war and claims it shot down Indian's fighter jets. Let's see if we could share this one here.
This is Fox News. So this is, they're showing debris from
[00:50:29] Unknown:
the,
[00:50:31] Unknown:
from the strikes. Look at that.
[00:50:39] Unknown:
So,
[00:50:52] Unknown:
Pakistan is calling there we go. Sorry. Pakistan is calling air strikes launched by India an act of war, with its military claiming it shot down five Indian fighter jets in retaliation. The strikes targeted at least nine sites where terrorist attacks against India had been planned. India's Defense Ministry said, Pakistan's military said the mill missiles hit six locations, killing at least 26 people. Pakistani prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, declared that Pakistan has every right to give a robust response to this act of war imposed by India, and a strong response is indeed being given. Tensions have soared between the nuclear armed neighbors since April's attack in which gunmen killed 26 people, mostly Indian Hindu tourists.
In the India controlled portion of Kashmir, India accuses its neighbor of being behind the attack, which was claimed by a militant group calling itself Kashmir resistance that India says is linked to, a disbanded Pakistani militant militia group militant group. So, yeah, this is this is not good. This is not good at all. Have you already talked about that? The Indian embassy stated in an emailed press release that Indian national security adviser, Ajit Daval, briefed his US counterpart, secretary of state, and interim national security adviser, Marco Rubio, shortly after the strikes were launched. According to Newsweek, India's defense ministry said in a statement announcing the strikes, our actions have been focused, measured, and non escalatory in nature.
No Pakistani military facility have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and methods of execution. What I'm concerned about is the the potential escalation. CNN. Pakistan vows to respond after India launches strikes in wake of Kashmir massacre. India and Pakistan on the brink of of a wider conflict after India launched strikes in both Pakistan and Pakistan administered Kashmir, saying it targeted terrorist infrastructure. Now it's, let's see. Oh, it's got an update. Let's take a look at this. Alright.
So this is this is an update. I'd actually, it just it just came in not even an hour ago. Pakistani prime minister, Shaba Sharif has vowed to respond to India strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan Minister Kashmir that were carried out in the early hours of Wednesday local time. What that response entails may well decide whether the two countries are able to find an off ramp or become locked into an escalating confrontation. One option for Pakistan is to claim victory pointing to the jets it claimed to have downed. The option depends on the truth of Pakistan's clay claims that it has downed five Indian Air Force planes, including three French made, fighter jets.
So, Pakistan, India fighter jet dogfight was one of the largest and longest in recent aviation history. So a dogfight between Pakistani so this is an hour and a half ago. A dogfight between Pakistani and Indian fighter jets, was one of the largest and longest in recent aviation history. A total of 125 fighter jets battles for an hour with neither side leaving its own airspace according to the source who detailed that the missile exchanges were happening at distances sometimes greater than than a hundred miles. Neither side was prepared to send their pilots over the border because of of a much smaller dogfight in 02/2019. At times, the Indian Air Force has been has had to take multiple runs at targets according to the source. Pakistan did its best to warn civilians in the areas, believe to be targets.
So, yeah, this is this is getting pretty getting pretty heavy over there. Not a good development, my friends. Not a good development. Alright. Well, here's another thing that we're gonna gonna touch on here briefly. I'm I'm wondering if, if our guest had a had the time wrong or my calendar had the time wrong. But, let's see. So, Donald Trump put forward Ed Martin, who's currently serving as the acting, a US attorney for the District of Columbia, put put him forward as a, you know, for the actual, US attorney. But, a a a key Republican senator said yesterday, Tuesday, that he was not gonna support Ed Martin for, for this particular role.
So, Tom Tillis of North Carolina said that I've indicated to the White House I wouldn't support his nomination. Tillis cited Martin's support for criminal defense since January 6, '2 thousand '20 '1. In the capital riot cases, the riot began with Trump urged a crowd of his supporters to march to the capital that day. Well, see, this is CNBC, so you you can't expect him to tell you the whole story. So, yes, president Trump did encourage the crowd to march peacefully to the Capitol, but he did not encourage them to storm the Capitol. That was done by the federal agents that were embedded in the crowd that basically incited them. Okay?
So, according to Tom Tillis actually, I think I have a clip. Yeah. I do. We'll we'll let him talk about it. So this is Tom Tillis, talking about, his communication with the White House.
[00:57:54] Unknown:
He is, I don't believe he's being advanced to the markup. And, I met with mister Martin. He seems like a good man. Most of my concerns related to January 6, and, and he he built a a compelling case on some of the fifteen, twelve prosecutions that were probably, heat of the moment bad decisions, but, where we probably, have a difference is I think anybody that reached the perimeter should have been in prison for some period of time whether it's thirty days or three years is debatable, but I have no tolerance for anybody who, entered the building on January, and that's probably where most of the friction was. I see. So he disagreed with you on that? Well, no. I have to say that mister Martin did a good job of explaining how, there were people that probably got caught up in it.
But they made the stupid decision to come through a building that had been breached and that the police officers and others were saying stay away. So the difference wasn't that they should be charged in my estimation, it's by how much. That's an argument I'm willing to have, but we have to be very, very clear that what happened on January was wrong. It wasn't, it was not prompted or created by other people to put those people in trouble. They made a stupid decision, and they disgraced The United States by by absolutely destroying the capital. And I can't have any patience for It sounds it sounds like your concerns were not a big deal. But let me be very clear, though. Mr. Martin did a good job of explaining the one area that I think he's probably right that there were some people that were over prosecuted.
But there were some two or 300 of them that should have never gotten a pardon, and he agreed with that. But the disagreement there had more to do. If mister Martin were, being put forth as a US attorney for any district except the district where January 6 happened, the the protest happened, I'd probably support him, but not in this district. When you say he's not being advanced to the markup, was he operating under that understanding that he's not being advanced through to a Well, he I I think mister Martin I'm sure they're looking through it. I mean, be clear. Some of the deadline has to do with with the length of time he can operate as acting, and the administration can work through that if they want to, to have more time and potentially work them through. But at this point, I've indicated to the White House I wouldn't support his nomination. Has Trump called you out on this?
[01:00:18] Unknown:
So,
[01:00:22] Unknown:
there was another senator also that, Republican senator that indicated that he was not going to support the, the nomination of Ed Martin, but I don't have it. I don't know who it was. I forgot. So but the point is is that, a no vote from Tillis kills the nomination basically because, Republicans have a twelve ten majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and, all of the Democrats on the panel opposed Martin's nomination. So the nominee so so Martin couldn't proceed on an eleven eleven deadlock. So if it's deadlocked, then the name then he is not put forward.
So
[01:01:12] Unknown:
so,
[01:01:14] Unknown:
so another another, Republican rhino gets in the way of, Donald Trump's, appointments. And, you know, I mean, it this is disgusting. It it truly is. You know, president Trump had, has a clear mandate from the American people. 77 plus million people voted for Donald Trump, and Donald Trump ran on the issues that are that that he is that that he is, bringing out to the public. And he the American people sided with Donald Trump. They voted for Donald Trump. They put him in office to to enact the, the the the campaign pledges and promises that he made. And then you have these Republican, these RINOs, that clearly are are not I mean, there's nothing that he said.
There's nothing especially in North Carolina, which voted heavily for Donald Trump. He didn't mention once that his constituency didn't want Ed Martin, and so he was he was working on behalf of his constituency. It was what he thought. It was what he felt, not his constituency. See and that's the problem with these people. These people are acting on their own agenda, not the people that put them in that position. I am quite sure that if he went back to his district or back to the state, I should say, and I did the the, congress is a little different. So if he went back to his state and he pulled his people in his state and he actually met with the people in his state, they would tell him that they want Ed Martin as the, as the the US attorney for the District Of Columbia.
But he doesn't do that. No. That's not what he does. Instead, he reacts on his own assumptions, his own feelings, his own ideas about it. These people are not serving the interest of their constituency. They're serving their own. And I'm hopeful that someone steps up in North Carolina and primaries this guy. He needs to be out of office. If he is not gonna work if if he's not gonna work on behalf of his constituency, if he's gonna put his own personal agenda ahead of it, then there's no reason for him to be in that office anymore. Maybe I'm wrong.
You let me know what you think. Drop a comment down below. Would love to hear from you. Hey. We have a listener in New York. Hey. Check it out. How you doing there, New York? Missus Van Swat. Alright. Let's see. And I got one more to talk about, and I'm not sure what happened to our guest tonight, but that's okay. I think we did alright. Alright. So, I wanted to end this particular portion of the show with, a little bit of fun. So here is, so NBC News. The the we all we all we've we all know who who, Christian Welker is now. Right? I mean, she's interviewed president Trump, and she got taken to task. Every it just seems like everybody that she has spoken to, on the conservative side have really just taken her to task under the things she's been talking about. Well, NBC News host Christian Welker suggested illegal immigrants are entitled to due process under the constitution.
The problem is that she sat down and she was talking about this with someone who doesn't take anybody's bullshit. She sat down and she was talking with Republican Florida, representative Byron Donalds, who's also running for governor in Florida, and someone that I would fully support. If I was a Floridian, I would fully support Byron Donalds for governor. Well, Christian Welker decided to argue that that, people who are here illegally, illegal aliens, are entitled to due process under the constitution. Now just to remind you, 8,500,000 migrant encounters along The US Southern Border from 02/2001 02/2021 to 02/2024 under the Biden administration.
Alright? And that's that's information that comes directly out of customs and border protection. Alright? Now when I'm gonna play the clip for you. Alright? And the the clip is it's not a long clip. It's only about a minute and a half. But she tries to bring up the Fifth Amendment, and the Fifth Amendment's guaranteed for due process for any individual in The United States. Now what's the problem with that argument? Now if if you say that the constitution doesn't apply to an illegal alien, well, you would be right. The constitution only provides protections for United States citizens, for American citizens, for Americans, not illegal aliens, not people who broke the law coming into the country.
Does that make sense? So here's, here's here's the exchange between, Byron Donalds and, Christian Welker.
[01:07:34] Unknown:
Well, the constitution I mean, let me just read you. This is the fifth amendment. No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless in a presentment or indictment of a grand jury accepting cases arising in the land or naval forces. And then it goes on to say, nor shall any person be subjected for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life, limb, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. So the constitution says any person, not citizen. And therein lies the debate and the root of my question. I mean, does does any person just apply to citizens in your mind or does it apply to citizens and non citizens? The secretary of state Marco Rubio says it applies to citizens and non citizens. Well, let's be very clear. First and foremost, when the framers wrote our constitution, they never envisioned that there would be an executive that would allow millions of people to come into the country illegally. They never fathom that. Number two, more importantly,
[01:08:33] Unknown:
you have a situation right now. Is it okay for any administration to not follow the law, abuse border security laws, let millions of people in and then hide behind the court system to say, well, now they're here. So now we have to go through a lengthy process. Let's let's examine this right now. Right now, what we know is that when people came into the country illegally, almost 90% of them would not even go to the hearings. So if you are if you're supposed to show up for a hearing and you do not go, what are we supposed to do as a country? Quickly.
[01:09:04] Unknown:
So he and he's right. He he is absolutely right. You can't logically put 8,500,000 people through the process of going through the courts and and and such to be deported. Now, having said that, they've already had a limited measure of due process. Okay. When they came through, they were issued a, they they they had court appearances that they had to go to. 90% of them don't show up to the court appearances. Then deportation orders are issued. They have gone through the due process. Alright. So, let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. He said so let's attempt this right now. What we have is, people coming in the country illegally. Most almost 90% of them would not even go to the hearing. So if you're supposed to show for for hearing and you don't go, what are we supposed to do with the country at that point? Well, you deport them.
You issue the order to have them deported, which is what we do. Alright? Now, Let me see. If you're talking about then we'd have to have a million or two or 3,000,000 trials, you know, which is just impossible to do. You can't. It's it it it would take twenty years to to be able to to prosecute all of that. Alright. So my contention is this, and again, I'm not a scholar on this. Alright? But common sense tells me that The US constitution's protections apply to American citizens. Alright? Not illegal aliens. Granted, once you've even if you've gotten here gotten to the country illegally, there is a process in place to where you are going to be deported. Alright? That is your due process.
Alright? So there this this this myth where illegal aliens have to go through due process. There is due process. It is not to the extent due process is, is is, that an American citizen is entitled to because they are American citizens. They are legal aliens. Again, 90% of them don't show up to their court appearances. They've already crossed into this country illegally. Deportation orders, they they they they received their deportation order, and they're deported. That is the due process. I don't see what's so hard to understand about that. And if I mean, explain it to me. I mean, somebody tell me. Drop a comment in the chat. Somebody tell me where I'm wrong on that.
I really wanna know. Well, again, here lies the rub. The Democrats fight for illegals. They fight for criminals. They fight for the worst imaginable people you can imagine. I know it's redundant, but they fight for the worst. They choose MS thirteen. They choose TDA. They choose criminals over the American people. It's a losing platform to be on. So I think the American people are tired of being treated that way. Alright. Well, I don't think I don't think our guest is gonna be joining us tonight. Not sure what happened there, but, we will definitely reach out to him and find out, what's going on.
But, so I think at this point, we're gonna say goodnight. Alright, folks. So just again, I wanna say thank you to everybody for, tuning in tonight. Thank you so much for, you see what happened was I was expecting to have a guest, so I didn't do a full show prep. I just did a few pieces just to, you know, after after the interview or before the interview like we just did. So, I don't have anything extra to really go into tonight, like, as far as prep goes. So that's why we're gonna say goodnight. But, again so thanks folks for being with us tonight. I hope you got something out of the show. Again, you know, kinda disappointed our guest, did not arrive.
And, so let's just give our shout outs. Our executive producers, Wayne and Rosanna Rankin, thank you so much for what you do. To our producer, anonymous Angela, thank you for what you did today. Really do appreciate all your help. Folks, don't forget to check out our socials, Twitter, all that stuff, we're all there. Website, joeroos.com. Send us over any questions you have. And then also, don't forget, we are going to be back here on Friday. Alright, folks. Let's make Texas independent again. Let's go podcasting. Let's keep a steady stride, and we'll see you here again on Friday night.
God bless you, folks. Good night, and goodbye.
Alright. Hey, folks. This is Joe Russo. Welcome to the podcast. We are coming to you live tonight from the Asylum Studios, broadcasting from the pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass, and doing the very best that we can to bring you the best quality political talk radio we could muster without all the bluster. Alright, folks. We got a show for you tonight. Got a bunch of stuff going on in the news. Got a bunch of stuff we're gonna talk about. Also have, a guest this evening. We're gonna have, Charlie Johnson on. And, we're gonna be excited to talk about, what exactly is a chief consciousness officer.
Now, I've not heard of that before, so this is gonna be all new to me. So I'm excited to learn about it myself, so I hope you guys are too. But, we're gonna do the best we can tonight, and hopefully, it'll be something interesting for you. Alright. Well, couple of things. Something I forgot to mention, on Monday's show. And, let me just turn this down a little bit. There we go. So something I forgot to mention on Monday's show was that, this past weekend, we had an election here in, Eagle Pass. We had a election day was on Saturday, May.
And, as you know, we've had Aaron Valdez, who is, one of the candidates for mayor in Eagle Pass on the show a couple of times. We have extended invitations out to, one of his, his, rivals, opponents, better. Right? Yeah. Opponents. Monica Cruz, but, they have not responded to our request for them to come on the show. So, we had a good opportunity to sit down with Aaron, Valdez for a couple of shows, a few couple of hours, actually, and it was, really very interesting shows. We had a great conversation. And, as you guys know, on the second show that we did, I offered my endorsement of Aaron Valdez for mayor. So, this past weekend was actually election day.
And, so, it ended up that, this, this mayoral race has to go into a, into a runoff. So the runoff is gonna be on June. So, so if you're listening in the Eagle Pass area, please, make note of that. June. See, the thing that worries me about runoff elections is that especially here in Eagle Pass, because Eagle Pass, you have a population of more or less 30,000 people just rounding it off, and, only about 8,000 people came out to vote. So the concern that I have is, for a runoff election, you know, how many people are not gonna show up now? Because they've already voted once, and it's it's an inconvenience to have to go out and vote again, for the same, for the same race. So that's my main concern. So if that's your mentality, if that's how you're thinking about this, stop thinking that way. You have to get out there and vote.
And I'm I'm I'm endorsing again Aaron Valdez for mayor of Eagle Pass, and, I hope that you'll check him out. You'll look at his positions. You'll look at his website. You'll check him out on Facebook, his Instagram account. He's all over the place, and, you need to get out and vote. And, again, my endorsement is for Aaron Valdez. You vote who you feel you need to vote for, but, I firmly endorse him, and I I think he's gonna be a great mayor here in Eagle Pass. So please don't forget, get out and vote June in this mayoral runoff election here in Eagle Pass. And, I feel terrible that I didn't mention it on Monday. So, we're gonna make sure that we mention it as frequently as he can, in the upcoming shows. So, hopefully, you get out there and vote. Please, it's important. You gotta do it. You gotta do it. Eagle Pass has to go in a in a direction that that Aaron has vision for, and I think it's gonna be the best vision for Eagle Pass of the candidates that are out there. So, please, make sure you get out there, make sure you vote.
Every vote counts. Alright. You need a bigger turnout than what we had on election day. So let's do it. Alright. Eagle Pass. Let's do it. Alright. I hope you guys had a good day yesterday.

It's loaded with natural iodine and and tons of other vitamins and and minerals that your body absolutely needs. You know, I also take the ultimate turmeric.

So it is absolutely essential.
Essential. You need to try this. Alright. Also has black pepper and ginger root, which helps with absorption, mineral absorption in your body. Wonderful stuff. And, again, been taking that now for over two months. Also, been taking this stuff. This is optimal human. This is a superfood. This stuff is amazing. Superfood greens, functional mushrooms, 10,000,000,000 probiotics, digestive enzymes, 90 plus powerful ingredients including ashwagandha, cordyceps, lion's mane, spirulina, prebiotics, chlorella. There's so much in here that they had to actually, you know, put it in super small print all on the back here. Alright? Just so you could, see what exactly what's in there. This stuff is amazing. I've been taking this now for this is my third month on this, and this stuff is just amazing. Alright. It gives you a a nice steady energy throughout the course of the day. You don't feel like you're overloaded. You feel like you don't feel like you're weighted down. I use it as a meal supplement. So usually my lunch would be, you know, somebody would ask me, I'm having for lunch. I'm, you know, I'm having my liquid grass. This stuff is amazing. You need to try this stuff out. You'll really like it. And, one of the benefits that I've gotten from it, you know, it's not listed as a benefit on there, but what I've gotten from it, I lost some weight. I lost, like, almost 30 pounds. So, this is great stuff. You do need to take this. Alright. Now the other thing that I've been taking now I started taking this just, I wanna say two and a half weeks ago. We actually opened the first bottle of it on the show that we did with Bobby Gray.
So, this is the the ultimate methylene blue. Okay? This stuff is amazing. Now the first time I took it, I didn't really get much out of it. Like, I didn't feel anything, like, they all talk about, you know, the tingling sensations and and all that stuff. But now that I've been on it for about two, two and a half weeks, I'm starting to really feel it. I'm starting to feel the the effects of this stuff, and I'm telling you, I am super pleased with it. Now I purposely did not take my blue methylene today because I wanna do it here on the show with you because it's been because we did it on the first time, the the the that Thursday night that we did it with Bobby Gray. So I'm gonna have my water right here. Let me turn off the, banner for a moment so you could see what I'm doing so you know I'm not not messing around with you. Alright. So there's our water.
Give this a good shake. Now I've been taking the full dose. Okay? And, I'm gonna tell you within about fifteen minutes or so, I start to feel it. I start to feel that little tingle, down the hands because what it does at a mitre mitochondrial level, mitochondrial level. There we go. At a mitochondrial level, this stuff, it produces energy. It's almost like electricity. Alright? And, so you start to feel these little tingles and and and whatnot. It's it's amazing. And on top of that, it, it just it gives you a sense of calm, a sense of relaxation, but with energy. And you're not jittery, you're not jumping around, like, if you if you've had an energy drink or some some nonsense like that. This stuff is primo. This stuff is really good. Alright. So we're gonna take it right here. So I'm gonna give it a shake.
Alright. Gonna load up the dropper here. Alright. Here we go. So I'm gonna put my whole dosage in there. Yes. You see that? Make sure we get it all. Alright. Ultra methylene blue. Great stuff. And you can get it at the alexjonesstore.com/joe. And, you can get it, if you do a monthly subscription to it, you get it for, like, $29 as opposed to the 40 something dollars that, an individual bottle is. So that's a good deal. So you should definitely try it out. And the benefit to that is also is that if it, you know, if if, you know, they won't they won't run out of stock for it.
So if you try to buy a bottle and they're low on stock, the people who are subscribed to it would get the benefit of it. Alright? So here we go. Ultimate blue methylene or methylene blue. Alright. There you have it. Yes. I did finish it. See? Hold on. So the ultimate methyl the ultra methylene blue, you need to try this. It has a nice taste to it also, by the way. It's it's they use, natural mint and vanilla, so it has a really nice flavor to it. Nothing overwhelming and nothing, nothing that's that's like, because methylene blue doesn't really taste good to begin with.
But, this stuff is really good. What I like to do too is I I put it in the in the full glass of water, but sometimes what I'll do is I'll take, like, sparkling water, or I'll take some sparkling water that has, like, like a light flavor to it, like a lime or or something like that. And I'll mix that in with that, and it's really nice, especially when it's ice cold. Oh, so good. So this stuff is fantastic. You need to try it out. Ultra Methylene Blue, the ultimate human, the optimal human, prebiotics, superfood.
This stuff, amazing. Try it out. Alright. Got that done. Got that done. You know what? I'm already feeling some of that tingling. Alright. That's good. Alright. So we're at the point here where we are going to, say goodbye to the folks that are that are watching on Rumble. On Rumble. Yeah. We're gonna say goodbye to the folks that are watching on YouTube, Twitch, and x, and we're gonna invite you to head to the App Store on your phone, download the Rumble app. It's absolutely free. And then when you do that, make sure you find us at Joe Roos, and, join us there because that's where we'll be. The show will continue live on Rumble in just a moment. Alright? So and if you don't come on over that way, that's fine. We'll catch up with you next time, but you're gonna miss a great show, with Charlie Johnson and some of the stuff we're gonna talk about in the news today. Alright. With that said, talk to you guys later.
Alright. Well, it's just us now. And, I think, I think Charlie's running a little bit behind. So, we were expecting him to sign in about 07:15 or so, but he has not. So what we'll do here is I'm going to move this up over here, and we are going to get into some of the news. How about that? Sound good? I thought so. Alright. Well, without any further ado, it's time for the news. Alright. Well, in nothing burger news, let's talk a little bit about, the press conference that took place today. So earlier today, this was breaking news. I'm sure you guys probably heard about it already for the most part. But, we today found out that the FBI is, now apparently reviewing thousands thousands of videos of, Jeffrey Epstein.
Now here's the problem. Okay? And, this is the problem that I have with this whole thing. We were told during the campaign that day one, this stuff is gonna be released. Okay. Didn't happen. There was a lot of, a lot of resistance within the FBI at the time. There was if you remember, they had that, that the the New York field office was, was, digging in, and they weren't gonna release any information to the administration. So, yeah. I understand there were some delays, and that's fine. Look. You know, those things happen. Okay? You know, you you can't expect everything to be fixed day one in reality. So we understand that. It's a figure of speech. We understand that. Then, attorney general Bondi went on to the Fox News circuit like she does frequently.
Kinda think she's auditioning for a show of her own on Fox News once once she's out of position as a, as the AG. So I'm getting fidgety because the the blue methylene is starting to kick in here. So, so so so she she she made these these, appearances on Fox News. She came out. She was like, you know, we have them. We have truckloads of them. They're on my desk. We're going through them. We're looking through all this stuff. You know? And then they had this this event at the White House. And this listen, this isn't a knock on the administration. You guys should know that by now. You know, I am a I am a supporter of Donald Trump. I am a supporter of his administration. I think that that his picks and his cabinet selections right now have been fantastic, and I think he's doing a wonderful job. I I give him an A plus on everything he's doing, and maybe an A minus on a couple of other things. But, overall, I think he's doing a fantastic job. So, and I and then you could tell in this administration, he's he's no nonsense. He's doing he he's working on his agenda, and that's it. He's not, he he's not playing games. He's not doing anything.
He's not gonna he's not compromising, you know, he's not capitulating. He's not doing anything. He he is do he is taking care of his agenda. Whatever he promised on the campaign trail is what he's following through with. Now having said that, AG Bondi set up this event at the White House, if you remember, where they invited, a lot of the alternative media, the social influencers, the social media influencer influencers, and and those those folks to come to the White House, they gave them these really nice neat binders that that had, information in them from the Epstein list. They made they made this whole big production out of it.
And what was it? It was information that that was already publicly available. It was information that was already redacted, even though they said there would be no redactions. So, it turned out to be a real nothing. Nothing new. Okay. Understand. You know, we needed to get out in front of this thing, and we needed to start presenting some information out to the public and, you know, to to to make the the the the promise that was made to to show the progress on the promise that was made. Okay? Fair enough? Well, here we are, over a hundred days into the administration.
There's still no Epstein list. There's still no information that we don't already know circulating. The AG's office had been has been kinda quiet about it. You had, you had the the deputy director of the FBI out there saying, you know, things are working behind the scenes on a number of issues, not just the Epstein stuff, but on on a number of issues. You know, things are working behind the scene. We're we're getting, you know, we're getting the job done, so on and so forth. And I trust deputy director Bongino. You know, I I trust him, and I trust his judgment. I trust Kash Patel.
I think that, they walked into something that they probably weren't really expecting to walk into. It's probably worse than what they imagined it would be. So, you you know, and as somebody who worked in investigations for for my agency back in the city for a little while, I understand that that investigations take time. You can't you don't just, you know, walk in, and you can't always publicize all the information that you have in your possession because some things are are incredibly sensitive, for the prosecution of the case. So understand that. Totally understand that.
But we're I think the peep I think people are starting to get a little tired of seeing AG Bondi making the rounds on Fox News, again, our audition tour, and people wanted to see some results. Now today, there was a, press conference, where, AG Bondi says that the FBI is diligently reviewing and diligently going through thousands of videos of Jeffrey Epstein Epstein with children and, children, child porn. So here here's a clip from the,
[00:24:51] Unknown:
from the, press conference. Here's AG Bondi. So James Palmer said yesterday, all the Epstein thousand.
[00:25:00] Unknown:
No. No. The FBI, yeah, the FBI, they're reviewing there are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims. And no one victim will ever get released. It's just the volume, and that's what they're going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that. I I haven't seen that statement, but I'll call him later and find out.
[00:25:27] Unknown:
Alright. So you heard it from her directly. Okay? Now this press conference was about, Operation Restore Justice, alright, which, which, was for which brought in about 200 little bit more than 200 arrests of alleged child sex abuse offenders over the last five days. Great. That is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. The the reference that she made to, that that where she said that she hadn't heard his comment, but she was going to call him, had to do with, representative James Comer. And James Comer said James Comer appeared on on the, the Benny Johnson show, and, James, James, Comer said that, well, he made a claim.
He made a claim. Let's, let's take a look at it. Or not. Okay. Let's try that again. Alright. Well, we seem to be having a problem with that. So let me see. Try one more time.
[00:26:46] Unknown:
What's next? I mean, we we did a little bit of a preview on the
[00:26:55] Unknown:
Alright. So not sure what's happening there with the, with that particular clip, but, we can always do this. We'll do a screen share.
[00:27:08] Unknown:
What's next? I mean, we we did
[00:27:11] Unknown:
Let me bring it up on x as a screen share. Sorry. Give me one second.
[00:27:23] Unknown:
A little bit of a preview on the Epstein files, obviously. That's that's like finding a unicorn, in Washington DC. You have come on and talked about that on this program just just in the sake of for the sake of transparency, which is very big for you. And so in Yeah. You know, in in closing, any motion on that, any movement on that? We hear that there's a timeline now. I hope
[00:27:45] Unknown:
I hope James has the Epstein files because I don't think the department of justice has them or at least the attorney general does not have them or she would have turned them over. The president ordered them released. The attorney general ordered them released. We all know they have not been released. And one of my biggest fears that I had and I expressed this with was Kash Patel and a lot of people, Stephen Miller and a lot of people going into the to the new administration. I'm like, you know, I hope they're not shredding documents right now. This was a few weeks before the transition. I said, I hope they're not shredding document, but you all need to go on that first day and try to get all this stuff released because, you know, my fear is from from what I've dealt with in investigations and and in communication with with this deep state apparatus is they're probably in their shredding documents as we speak. So, hopefully, someone has a a copy of that and and, you know, I I hope we find out because our task force has done everything led by Anna Polina Luna. You you had her on your show many times. I mean, she's relentless. She's persistent.
She's pretty frustrated right now that, that these files haven't been released even though the president and the attorney general have ordered them released. But, you know and so I got I told, Anna the same thing I told Patel and everybody else. I'm like, you you assume that somebody in the deep state said, okay. We'll just put these in a file back here, this incriminating evidence on on everybody, and, maybe the next administration can can do whatever they're they wanna do with it. That's that's, unfortunately, the way it's supposed to work, but it hasn't worked with the with this deep state.
[00:29:31] Unknown:
So they're just gonna let the incriminating evidence sit there smoldering
[00:29:35] Unknown:
that could put them all in prison. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. I will they should. That's what they're supposed to do, but, you know, you and I have dealt with them. Benny, you've you've covered the deep state as well as anyone. I mean, they're they're they cover their tracks, and it's just hard for me to believe they're gonna leave incriminating evidence. If the government was involved, if the government wasn't involved, I don't think they would have any reason to protect Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton. They're never gonna be elected anything again. I don't think they would have any reason to protect Bill Gates or anybody else. The the the concern I've always had about the Epstein file was the government involved. Did the government know? Did the was the government using Epstein and the videos to blackmail the most influential people around the world?
If that's the case, then they knew there were, victims of sex crimes there, and they they did nothing. So, you know, that's that's the concern I have. If if there if the government covers this up, I I don't believe it's because of any love affair or affection for the Clinton family. Just like I never believed they were hiding and covering for the Bidens because they love Joe Biden. It was because they hated Donald Trump. You know? They didn't want their agencies to be disrupted. The same thing with the Epstein filed. I don't know this, but my concern is that, that the government may have known a lot more and may have been an an active participant, maybe with with the intentions of, intelligence gathering. Who who knows? But at the end of the day, I don't think the American people would be okay if the government knew that that crimes against young women were were, occurring, and yet they they did nothing to to intervene.
[00:31:20] Unknown:
So James Comer's position is is that he thinks that these files are gone. And I don't know. I'm sure some of them is. I'm sure some of it's gone. I'm sure that, a lot of the more incriminating files have disappeared. I would not be surprised at that. Now over the past few months, AG Bondi has implied that the justice department's been going through tons of information, you know, prior to releasing any more information that's out there. But I don't know, folks. I I honestly, I don't know. I I don't think I don't have very much confidence right now in the attorney general, which is a shame because, you know, I I don't think she's a bad person. I don't think she's a bad actor in this. I don't think that, I don't think that, she's necessarily incompetent, but I think that, she's a bit maybe over her head with this. I mean, she did a great job as the, Florida AG. We know that. But as far as as far as being the attorney general for The United States, so far, it's not impressed, man.
I'm not impressed. So we're still gonna be waiting. We're still gonna be sitting around waiting for the Epstein files. Still. What else we got here? We already covered that. We already talked about that. Well, this is a big thing. This is this is something important, actually. But, you know, but international news is not the focal point of this particular show. It's what we like to talk about, you know, stuff here at home and local local issues. But, but this is something that we all should be paying attention to right now. You have two nuclear powers that have started a skirmish between the two countries, and that's India and Pakistan.
And this is a result of a terrorist attack that took place, that, that came from Pakistan into India, in, I think it was April 22 or so. So so India retaliated, and, this thing is starting to escalate. So, dozens killed as India and Pakistan clashed in worst violence in decades. India and Pakistan exchanged heavy artillery fire along their contested frontier on Wednesday after New Delhi launched a deadly missile strike on its archrival in the worst violence between nuclear armed neighbors in two decades. At least thirty eight deaths are reported with Islamabad saying twenty six civilians were killed by the Indian strikes and firing along the border, and New Delhi adding at least 12 dead from Pakistani shelling.
The latest violence exceeds India's strikes in 2019 when New Delhi said it hit several militants after a suicide bomber attacked an Indian security force convoy killing 40. The Indian army said that justice is served, reporting nine terrorist camps have been destroyed with New Delhi adding its actions have focused on measured have been focused, measured, and non escalatory in nature. Pakistan's, defense minister, Khawaja Mohammed Asif accused Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, of launching the strikes to shore up his domestic popularity, but said, Islamabad has struck back. The retaliation has already started. We won't take long to settle the score.
And, so this is this is something that we need we do need to be concerned about. Okay? Because, both sides, again, are heavily armed with nuclear weapons, and both sides have indicated very, very clearly that they have no problem using these nuclear weapons. This is not something that we need to be taking place right now, and I think that's an understatement. I think that that really absolutely goes without saying, But this is really serious stuff. Now, yesterday, Donald Trump was informed about this, and, apparently see, this is, this is Donald Trump at the White House.
[00:37:04] Unknown:
Does it have any reaction to,
[00:37:07] Unknown:
the attacks between India and Pakistan? No. It's a shame. We just heard about it just as we we were walking in the doors of the oval. Just heard about it. I guess people knew something was gonna happen based on a little bit of the past. They've been fighting for a long time. You know, they've been fighting for many, many decades and centuries, actually, if you really think about it. No. I just hope it ends very quickly.
[00:37:34] Unknown:
So we all do. Yeah. It's obvious. But, it wasn't the clip I was looking for, actually. There was a clip that, a little bit longer than that one, but but the point of it is is that, you know, we don't wanna see this escalate. And and and president Trump has extended his his, his services, you know, to help, mediate this, to help in any way possible. But this is really dangerous. This is incredibly dangerous. Now, of course, you know, Pakistan is is backed by China. So, you have to also worry about it escalating to the point where China is gonna be involved. And, you know, we're we're not this this is a very, very dangerous dangerous development, and this is something that we really do need to keep keep tabs on. And there there are basically 10 points, and, this is from Andrew Corbico, his substack.
He put together these 10 points that, should help the casual observer to better understand the dynamics behind escalating Indo Pak tensions and the Kashmir conflict that lies at their core. Alright. So, he goes on to say he goes, everyone has the right to make up their own minds about these tensions and the Kashmir conflict that lies at the core, but they should also know that there's more to all this than what might be led to believe by the organized pro Palestinian movement and the alt media community. India carried out several let me let me screen share this.
Alright. This is, posted on Infowars. So, India has carried out several surgical strikes against Pakistan on Wednesday morning as part of operation Sindor, which is its response to last month's, terrorist attack that saw allegedly Pakistani affiliated culprit slaughter over two dozen Hindu tourists who were targeted on the basis of their faith. Casual observers might be overwhelmed by the daily stream information being spread on both sides, and, so so these are the 10 points that, that that, he suggests to keep in mind. The British role in the Indo Pak tensions is a relic of the past.
He says it's true that the Indian Subcontinent's imperfect division between Hindus and Muslims was authorized by the departing British, but the roots of this policy rest in some Muslim independence activists splitting from their Hindu comrades. While the Brits exploited this for post colonial divide and rule purposes, they no longer exert anywhere near the same degree of influence. Alright? Secondly, strategic, religious, and political factors are behind it. Pakistan claims to all of Kashmir are driven by the region's hydrological importance.
It's important it's, it's majority Muslim population and military's interest in rallying a nation behind it on these grounds. These interests are typically ignored by activists in favor of drawing attention to the democratic and humanitarian dimensions of the conflict from the Pakistani perspective. This narrative diversion is meant to make their claim appeal their claims appeal to the widest possible array of people across the world. Alright. And then he has the, the organized pro Palestinian movement largely supports Pakistan. Let's see. The reason this is relevant is because casual observers can therefore expect more pro Pakistani content from pro Palestinian activist influences, including that which disparages India as a Zionist puppet.
Fourth, Israel is relevant. Israel is irrelevant to this conflict no matter what alt media claims. The alt media community is mostly favorable to the organized pro Palestinian movements, so its leading voices might amplify the aforesaid allegation even though it's bereft of truth. Many among their audience want to imagine that every major development across the world is somehow tied to a Zionist plot, but that's not the case with this one. India's closeness with Israel doesn't mean that Israel's that Israel controls it just like Israel doesn't control Russia, which is closer to Israel than India is, and has been and has been so for longer. And that's something that, that I've I've been noticing a lot lately, and that is during, of late. There's been a lot of a lot of the, you know, finger pointing at Israel, and I'm not gonna say there there isn't probably some justification for it, but I I don't I don't know that Israel is, well, politically speaking, I don't agree with Israel on a lot of things, politically speaking.
Now I know from a a religious background, from a biblical background, you know, the Bible tells us that, you know, you know, that that God will bless them, that bless blesses Israel and curse them, that curses Israel. So, yeah, it is within our best interest, of course, to, to be supportive of Israel for, you know, for God's blessings. But, with that, you know, I just because I agree with that doesn't necessarily mean I agree with everything that Israel does politically. I think Israel politically is very, very far away from where, they should be, spiritually.
Alright? Let's let's take a second here, and let's just, let's pause for just a quick moment. Folks, if you still haven't tried seventeen seventy five coffee, now is your shot. Seventeen seventy five starter kit just dropped only 1,000 units. Alright? Now that means that you're getting the bold dark roast, which is right here in my cup. This bold dark roast that hits harder than a CNN fact checker, the smooth medium roast, and the vitality mushroom coffee for clean energy and laser focus, no crash. All single origin, small batch, toxin free, and mold free.
Plus, you're also getting a gold spoon clip because freedom isn't scooped with plastic, a frother strong enough to stir up your coffee and your mother in law's political opinions, and a black 1775 tumbler that says, I don't take life advice or caffeine from a woke sea witch. So you're getting, folks, you're you're getting a hundred and $7 worth of coffee and gear for $99. This one is is is for the ones who have been watching seventeen seventy five blow up on Rumble, wondering if it's, actually worth it. And spoiler, to be honest with you, it really is. I start my day with seventeen seventy five. I finish my day during the show with seventeen seventy five. This stuff is amazing.
I love the coffee. It's fresh. I love I I get the beans, so I like to grind them up myself. But, just the smell when you open up that package, the the the of that of that bold roasted flavor, bold beans, clean fuel, and a morning routine. That totally stands for something just like rumble does. Start your day with coffee that actually backs what you believe. Seventeen seventy five coffee. Just go to 1775coffee.com/studio and grab your starter kit before they're gone. That's 1775coffee.com/studio. 17 70 5 coffee Com / studio. Alright.
So and and and God's honest truth, folks. I love seventeen seventy five coffee. Again, another thing that I would tell you that I would never tell you to try if I haven't tried it myself. So this stuff is great. Alright. So where were we? We were in, up to number five. So, talking about Israel, the same goes for claims that it's all about sabotaging bricks. Now bricks is, a group of countries that have come together to, to kinda, you know, balance out or at least try to steal some of the thunder from the American dollar. So, many in the AMC, alt alt media, are obsessed with bricks as they are with Israel's, are also as obsessed with bricks that they are with Israel. So casual observers should be prepared for a flood of claims about how these tensions are supposedly meant to sabotage bricks. The reality is that bricks isn't a block. In fact, it's just basically a talking club that discusses how to accelerate financial, multipopularity, multipolarity processes, and and issues purely perfunctory joint statements every year.
It's therefore just as irrelevant to this conflict, which is driven by driven by Assad's conception of national interest as Israel is. Then you have, that India and Pakistan accuse each other of terrorism, but respond differently. Pakistan accused India of being behind marches Jafar express terrorist attack, which builds upon years of claims that they that they might also learn about yet, Pakistan didn't kinetically retaliate against India like India just kinetically retaliate against Pakistan. This can be interpreted as either Pakistan having made up that claim as earlier ones for reasons domestic and political convenience or lacking the military confidence to initiate surgical strikes against India. Alright. So you gotta remember, that these folks, India, Pakistan, have been at each other for a very, very long time.
Like, a very long time. You're talking decades. Just like, Israel and, and, the the Islamic world have been at each other for years. Hundreds of years. Thousands of years going all the way back to Ishmael. So this is really nothing new that they accuse each other, they're gonna go back and forth with each other. But the concern now is, of course, they're nuclear armed. So this is going to explode. This could potentially explode into something that the world is not ready for. It's worth recalling that January 2024 is tit for tat Iranian Pakistani strikes. Iran and Pakistan carried out tit for tat strikes in January 2024 against alleged terrorists before patching up their problems.
Even though terrorist attacks have since surged in Pakistan's, yep, that region, Islamabad no longer blames Iran, let alone bombs let alone bombs what it claims to be terrorists there. This is worth recalling since it suggests that Pakistan either lied. Either lied about Iran's ties to terrorists or started ignoring them with the explanation equivalent to politicizing terrorism. Then you have, Pakistan, consistently seeks to multilateralize its disputes with India. There are double standards towards Pakistan's nuclear saber rattling. And this is a great article. You really should take some time and go check it out.
So these points should help the casual observer better understand the dynamics behind the escalating Indo Pak tensions and the Kashmir conflict that lies at their core. Alright. So this is a potential potential, I mean, we don't wanna see this ex we don't wanna see this blow up to a nuclear exchange. And I'm I'm really hoping, really, really hoping that this stuff gets resolved very quickly. Pakistan Fox News reports that Pakistan, calls India's strikes an act of war and claims it shot down Indian's fighter jets. Let's see if we could share this one here.
This is Fox News. So this is, they're showing debris from
[00:50:29] Unknown:
the,
[00:50:31] Unknown:
from the strikes. Look at that.
[00:50:39] Unknown:
So,
[00:50:52] Unknown:
Pakistan is calling there we go. Sorry. Pakistan is calling air strikes launched by India an act of war, with its military claiming it shot down five Indian fighter jets in retaliation. The strikes targeted at least nine sites where terrorist attacks against India had been planned. India's Defense Ministry said, Pakistan's military said the mill missiles hit six locations, killing at least 26 people. Pakistani prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, declared that Pakistan has every right to give a robust response to this act of war imposed by India, and a strong response is indeed being given. Tensions have soared between the nuclear armed neighbors since April's attack in which gunmen killed 26 people, mostly Indian Hindu tourists.
In the India controlled portion of Kashmir, India accuses its neighbor of being behind the attack, which was claimed by a militant group calling itself Kashmir resistance that India says is linked to, a disbanded Pakistani militant militia group militant group. So, yeah, this is this is not good. This is not good at all. Have you already talked about that? The Indian embassy stated in an emailed press release that Indian national security adviser, Ajit Daval, briefed his US counterpart, secretary of state, and interim national security adviser, Marco Rubio, shortly after the strikes were launched. According to Newsweek, India's defense ministry said in a statement announcing the strikes, our actions have been focused, measured, and non escalatory in nature.
No Pakistani military facility have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and methods of execution. What I'm concerned about is the the potential escalation. CNN. Pakistan vows to respond after India launches strikes in wake of Kashmir massacre. India and Pakistan on the brink of of a wider conflict after India launched strikes in both Pakistan and Pakistan administered Kashmir, saying it targeted terrorist infrastructure. Now it's, let's see. Oh, it's got an update. Let's take a look at this. Alright.
So this is this is an update. I'd actually, it just it just came in not even an hour ago. Pakistani prime minister, Shaba Sharif has vowed to respond to India strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan Minister Kashmir that were carried out in the early hours of Wednesday local time. What that response entails may well decide whether the two countries are able to find an off ramp or become locked into an escalating confrontation. One option for Pakistan is to claim victory pointing to the jets it claimed to have downed. The option depends on the truth of Pakistan's clay claims that it has downed five Indian Air Force planes, including three French made, fighter jets.
So, Pakistan, India fighter jet dogfight was one of the largest and longest in recent aviation history. So a dogfight between Pakistani so this is an hour and a half ago. A dogfight between Pakistani and Indian fighter jets, was one of the largest and longest in recent aviation history. A total of 125 fighter jets battles for an hour with neither side leaving its own airspace according to the source who detailed that the missile exchanges were happening at distances sometimes greater than than a hundred miles. Neither side was prepared to send their pilots over the border because of of a much smaller dogfight in 02/2019. At times, the Indian Air Force has been has had to take multiple runs at targets according to the source. Pakistan did its best to warn civilians in the areas, believe to be targets.
So, yeah, this is this is getting pretty getting pretty heavy over there. Not a good development, my friends. Not a good development. Alright. Well, here's another thing that we're gonna gonna touch on here briefly. I'm I'm wondering if, if our guest had a had the time wrong or my calendar had the time wrong. But, let's see. So, Donald Trump put forward Ed Martin, who's currently serving as the acting, a US attorney for the District of Columbia, put put him forward as a, you know, for the actual, US attorney. But, a a a key Republican senator said yesterday, Tuesday, that he was not gonna support Ed Martin for, for this particular role.
So, Tom Tillis of North Carolina said that I've indicated to the White House I wouldn't support his nomination. Tillis cited Martin's support for criminal defense since January 6, '2 thousand '20 '1. In the capital riot cases, the riot began with Trump urged a crowd of his supporters to march to the capital that day. Well, see, this is CNBC, so you you can't expect him to tell you the whole story. So, yes, president Trump did encourage the crowd to march peacefully to the Capitol, but he did not encourage them to storm the Capitol. That was done by the federal agents that were embedded in the crowd that basically incited them. Okay?
So, according to Tom Tillis actually, I think I have a clip. Yeah. I do. We'll we'll let him talk about it. So this is Tom Tillis, talking about, his communication with the White House.
[00:57:54] Unknown:
He is, I don't believe he's being advanced to the markup. And, I met with mister Martin. He seems like a good man. Most of my concerns related to January 6, and, and he he built a a compelling case on some of the fifteen, twelve prosecutions that were probably, heat of the moment bad decisions, but, where we probably, have a difference is I think anybody that reached the perimeter should have been in prison for some period of time whether it's thirty days or three years is debatable, but I have no tolerance for anybody who, entered the building on January, and that's probably where most of the friction was. I see. So he disagreed with you on that? Well, no. I have to say that mister Martin did a good job of explaining how, there were people that probably got caught up in it.
But they made the stupid decision to come through a building that had been breached and that the police officers and others were saying stay away. So the difference wasn't that they should be charged in my estimation, it's by how much. That's an argument I'm willing to have, but we have to be very, very clear that what happened on January was wrong. It wasn't, it was not prompted or created by other people to put those people in trouble. They made a stupid decision, and they disgraced The United States by by absolutely destroying the capital. And I can't have any patience for It sounds it sounds like your concerns were not a big deal. But let me be very clear, though. Mr. Martin did a good job of explaining the one area that I think he's probably right that there were some people that were over prosecuted.
But there were some two or 300 of them that should have never gotten a pardon, and he agreed with that. But the disagreement there had more to do. If mister Martin were, being put forth as a US attorney for any district except the district where January 6 happened, the the protest happened, I'd probably support him, but not in this district. When you say he's not being advanced to the markup, was he operating under that understanding that he's not being advanced through to a Well, he I I think mister Martin I'm sure they're looking through it. I mean, be clear. Some of the deadline has to do with with the length of time he can operate as acting, and the administration can work through that if they want to, to have more time and potentially work them through. But at this point, I've indicated to the White House I wouldn't support his nomination. Has Trump called you out on this?
[01:00:18] Unknown:
So,
[01:00:22] Unknown:
there was another senator also that, Republican senator that indicated that he was not going to support the, the nomination of Ed Martin, but I don't have it. I don't know who it was. I forgot. So but the point is is that, a no vote from Tillis kills the nomination basically because, Republicans have a twelve ten majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and, all of the Democrats on the panel opposed Martin's nomination. So the nominee so so Martin couldn't proceed on an eleven eleven deadlock. So if it's deadlocked, then the name then he is not put forward.
So
[01:01:12] Unknown:
so,
[01:01:14] Unknown:
so another another, Republican rhino gets in the way of, Donald Trump's, appointments. And, you know, I mean, it this is disgusting. It it truly is. You know, president Trump had, has a clear mandate from the American people. 77 plus million people voted for Donald Trump, and Donald Trump ran on the issues that are that that he is that that he is, bringing out to the public. And he the American people sided with Donald Trump. They voted for Donald Trump. They put him in office to to enact the, the the the campaign pledges and promises that he made. And then you have these Republican, these RINOs, that clearly are are not I mean, there's nothing that he said.
There's nothing especially in North Carolina, which voted heavily for Donald Trump. He didn't mention once that his constituency didn't want Ed Martin, and so he was he was working on behalf of his constituency. It was what he thought. It was what he felt, not his constituency. See and that's the problem with these people. These people are acting on their own agenda, not the people that put them in that position. I am quite sure that if he went back to his district or back to the state, I should say, and I did the the, congress is a little different. So if he went back to his state and he pulled his people in his state and he actually met with the people in his state, they would tell him that they want Ed Martin as the, as the the US attorney for the District Of Columbia.
But he doesn't do that. No. That's not what he does. Instead, he reacts on his own assumptions, his own feelings, his own ideas about it. These people are not serving the interest of their constituency. They're serving their own. And I'm hopeful that someone steps up in North Carolina and primaries this guy. He needs to be out of office. If he is not gonna work if if he's not gonna work on behalf of his constituency, if he's gonna put his own personal agenda ahead of it, then there's no reason for him to be in that office anymore. Maybe I'm wrong.
You let me know what you think. Drop a comment down below. Would love to hear from you. Hey. We have a listener in New York. Hey. Check it out. How you doing there, New York? Missus Van Swat. Alright. Let's see. And I got one more to talk about, and I'm not sure what happened to our guest tonight, but that's okay. I think we did alright. Alright. So, I wanted to end this particular portion of the show with, a little bit of fun. So here is, so NBC News. The the we all we all we've we all know who who, Christian Welker is now. Right? I mean, she's interviewed president Trump, and she got taken to task. Every it just seems like everybody that she has spoken to, on the conservative side have really just taken her to task under the things she's been talking about. Well, NBC News host Christian Welker suggested illegal immigrants are entitled to due process under the constitution.
The problem is that she sat down and she was talking about this with someone who doesn't take anybody's bullshit. She sat down and she was talking with Republican Florida, representative Byron Donalds, who's also running for governor in Florida, and someone that I would fully support. If I was a Floridian, I would fully support Byron Donalds for governor. Well, Christian Welker decided to argue that that, people who are here illegally, illegal aliens, are entitled to due process under the constitution. Now just to remind you, 8,500,000 migrant encounters along The US Southern Border from 02/2001 02/2021 to 02/2024 under the Biden administration.
Alright? And that's that's information that comes directly out of customs and border protection. Alright? Now when I'm gonna play the clip for you. Alright? And the the clip is it's not a long clip. It's only about a minute and a half. But she tries to bring up the Fifth Amendment, and the Fifth Amendment's guaranteed for due process for any individual in The United States. Now what's the problem with that argument? Now if if you say that the constitution doesn't apply to an illegal alien, well, you would be right. The constitution only provides protections for United States citizens, for American citizens, for Americans, not illegal aliens, not people who broke the law coming into the country.
Does that make sense? So here's, here's here's the exchange between, Byron Donalds and, Christian Welker.
[01:07:34] Unknown:
Well, the constitution I mean, let me just read you. This is the fifth amendment. No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless in a presentment or indictment of a grand jury accepting cases arising in the land or naval forces. And then it goes on to say, nor shall any person be subjected for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life, limb, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. So the constitution says any person, not citizen. And therein lies the debate and the root of my question. I mean, does does any person just apply to citizens in your mind or does it apply to citizens and non citizens? The secretary of state Marco Rubio says it applies to citizens and non citizens. Well, let's be very clear. First and foremost, when the framers wrote our constitution, they never envisioned that there would be an executive that would allow millions of people to come into the country illegally. They never fathom that. Number two, more importantly,
[01:08:33] Unknown:
you have a situation right now. Is it okay for any administration to not follow the law, abuse border security laws, let millions of people in and then hide behind the court system to say, well, now they're here. So now we have to go through a lengthy process. Let's let's examine this right now. Right now, what we know is that when people came into the country illegally, almost 90% of them would not even go to the hearings. So if you are if you're supposed to show up for a hearing and you do not go, what are we supposed to do as a country? Quickly.
[01:09:04] Unknown:
So he and he's right. He he is absolutely right. You can't logically put 8,500,000 people through the process of going through the courts and and and such to be deported. Now, having said that, they've already had a limited measure of due process. Okay. When they came through, they were issued a, they they they had court appearances that they had to go to. 90% of them don't show up to the court appearances. Then deportation orders are issued. They have gone through the due process. Alright. So, let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. He said so let's attempt this right now. What we have is, people coming in the country illegally. Most almost 90% of them would not even go to the hearing. So if you're supposed to show for for hearing and you don't go, what are we supposed to do with the country at that point? Well, you deport them.
You issue the order to have them deported, which is what we do. Alright? Now, Let me see. If you're talking about then we'd have to have a million or two or 3,000,000 trials, you know, which is just impossible to do. You can't. It's it it it would take twenty years to to be able to to prosecute all of that. Alright. So my contention is this, and again, I'm not a scholar on this. Alright? But common sense tells me that The US constitution's protections apply to American citizens. Alright? Not illegal aliens. Granted, once you've even if you've gotten here gotten to the country illegally, there is a process in place to where you are going to be deported. Alright? That is your due process.
Alright? So there this this this myth where illegal aliens have to go through due process. There is due process. It is not to the extent due process is, is is, that an American citizen is entitled to because they are American citizens. They are legal aliens. Again, 90% of them don't show up to their court appearances. They've already crossed into this country illegally. Deportation orders, they they they they received their deportation order, and they're deported. That is the due process. I don't see what's so hard to understand about that. And if I mean, explain it to me. I mean, somebody tell me. Drop a comment in the chat. Somebody tell me where I'm wrong on that.
I really wanna know. Well, again, here lies the rub. The Democrats fight for illegals. They fight for criminals. They fight for the worst imaginable people you can imagine. I know it's redundant, but they fight for the worst. They choose MS thirteen. They choose TDA. They choose criminals over the American people. It's a losing platform to be on. So I think the American people are tired of being treated that way. Alright. Well, I don't think I don't think our guest is gonna be joining us tonight. Not sure what happened there, but, we will definitely reach out to him and find out, what's going on.
But, so I think at this point, we're gonna say goodnight. Alright, folks. So just again, I wanna say thank you to everybody for, tuning in tonight. Thank you so much for, you see what happened was I was expecting to have a guest, so I didn't do a full show prep. I just did a few pieces just to, you know, after after the interview or before the interview like we just did. So, I don't have anything extra to really go into tonight, like, as far as prep goes. So that's why we're gonna say goodnight. But, again so thanks folks for being with us tonight. I hope you got something out of the show. Again, you know, kinda disappointed our guest, did not arrive.
And, so let's just give our shout outs. Our executive producers, Wayne and Rosanna Rankin, thank you so much for what you do. To our producer, anonymous Angela, thank you for what you did today. Really do appreciate all your help. Folks, don't forget to check out our socials, Twitter, all that stuff, we're all there. Website, joeroos.com. Send us over any questions you have. And then also, don't forget, we are going to be back here on Friday. Alright, folks. Let's make Texas independent again. Let's go podcasting. Let's keep a steady stride, and we'll see you here again on Friday night.
God bless you, folks. Good night, and goodbye.
