2:39:42 You know, Mike, the Chinese white papers are all on record, some of the most provocative statements. The Chinese are on record saying they have no qualms about killing every man, woman and child in the United States. The guy in the White House has made the statement, we're gonna go to war with Iran, we're gonna go to war with China, we're gonna go to war with Russia, and also, by the way, we'll throw North Korea in. These guys don't play in that kind of insane ballpark. They're going to, at some point, react. Yeah, well absolutely. We're about to go to break again and we got one more segment with Steve Quayle on the other side. So stay with us folks. We're going to talk about Ukraine and Russia and now the Washington Post admitting that the Ukrainian soldiers are collapsing in terms of morale and supplies. What are the implications? We'll have that when we return. All right, final segment today with Steve Quayle. Now, if you were going to write a Babylon B head said
2:40:38 Active school shooter asks dozens of law enforcement to wait in the parking lot while he massacres in Texas. You would think that's crazy, that would never happen. That's not even satire, that's just a stupid idea, it never happened. Except it did happen, I mean, the Babylon Bee can't even make this up. I mean, not that he asked law enforcement to wait, but they waited. And this is the problem here in America. We're fed this never-ending cascade of lies about firearms and guns and police protection. Look, the police aren't gonna protect you. If you don't have your own self-defense, you are vulnerable.
2:41:18 Your community is vulnerable. Everybody in America who is legally able to do so should arm up right now, legally and lawfully, because the police are not coming to save you. Now we're joined by Steve Quayle from stevequayle.com. I want to ask you, Steve, The Washington Post has now put out an article in Zero Hedge has covered it as well, an article saying that the Ukrainian soldiers are in a state of morale collapse and supply chain collapse because, well, Russia is grinding them away day by day, kilometer by kilometer, frankly, taking the Donbass region and more. So, Steve, what are your thoughts on that? It seems like the fairy tale delusions that Ukraine is winning, that's beginning to collapse even in the Western press. What are your thoughts?
2:42:06 Well, the whole thing is a bad video game episode because a lot of the images that came out of the Ukraine supposedly winning were from video games, literally. So the idea is how does somebody who's the president of a nation like that become a billionaire? And why are American citizens paying double their gas prices, food prices? And listen, reality, we're up at least 25 to 30 percent. And if you cut the short pack. But here's the deal about Ukraine. The Ukraine basically has figured out how to work the West, in my opinion. And when you're looking at this battle, you're looking at a situation where NATO, the U.S. and look, this isn't bashing America first, but it is saying this. We were the ones that opened up the hole. We can use our nuclear weapons. Even today, they were giving debating, they, the government, giving them what more? We've given 51,000 Javelin
2:43:01 of Well, it's only the arms and the firearms and the arms of American citizens. And, you know, I don't think people understand how close we are. We're undergoing, in my opinion, a communist takeover and takedown. And the disarmament of the American citizen will exacerbate the situation. And it's going to be more children. God bless the children. Please, parents, think twice about sending your kids to a volatile school.
2:43:42 you know, homeschool them, do anything, but don't make them the little sacrifices that these bloodthirsty people. And Mike, again, I just got an email while we're on this podcast, broadcast, stating that another guy said, look, I've seen the numbers, Steve. This is a ritual sacrifice. I sent it to you, by the way, so you could see it. I agree. All right. So I'll take a look at that. Yeah. Back to Ukraine. Let me ask this, Steve. I'm sorry. Let me ask this. It looks like the European partners and you saw Henry Kissinger and you saw there from George Soros now freaked out about the possibility of Ukraine being lost. Kissinger seems to be calling for Ukraine to negotiate with Russia. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next 30 days we see actually Ukraine's military carry out a coup against Zelensky and arrest him for the needless killing of Ukrainian soldiers who are being given the most horrific orders
2:44:39 to just stand and die and not maneuver and not retreat. Aren't we at really a possibility of the Ukrainian military collapsing, surrendering to Russia in the next one to two months, something like that? What's your assessment? Well, I think that could be a reasonable assumption, Mike. But then we've got to put in the whole provocation of wanting nuclear war. George Soros wants a nuclear war. There are others that want a nuclear war. They really do want it. All along, the whole U.S. defense posture and NATO's has been, well, Russia really won't use their nuclear weapons. to
2:45:32 Poland, if Poland and other, if you will, Western nations, at least border nations, go into the Ukraine, I think you're going to see Putin react a little differently and much more violently. And again, you know, we have declared war on Russia. Let's just call it facts. We have declared war on Russia. And we have, in essence, had China declare war on us, to quote it. So we're at war, ladies and gentlemen. This isn't a skirmish, Mike. And I think that's what people are missing, is a bigger picture. This is leading up to a false—well, a real World War III, but it'll be a false Armageddon scenario. And then we're going to see stuff happen that we've never seen. And I would say this, that
2:46:15 Please, people, pay attention. Do your own homework. You know, you can say, oh, those guys are crazy. But when people start throwing, we're going to throw our nukes at you before you throw our nukes at us. And by the way, you know, when you're dealing with effective throw weight, how many missiles and what the magnitude of the warheads are and et cetera, right now, the United States shouldn't be provoking a nuclear war, especially Russia and China, and then throw North Korea in too. Well, exactly. And you know, Russia's nuclear force is modern. It is advanced. America's nuclear weapons are outdated.
2:46:52 Some of them were built in the 1970s and 1980s. Some of them are barely still operating with questionable functions. And yet Russia's got the world's best anti-air defense. I think it's the SA-500, can even take out low Earth orbit satellites, can take out hypersonic missiles. Not that the US has even deployed any hypersonic missiles, but Russia's got those too. And then finally Russia's, what is it, the Sarmat, missile, the IC has I think 10 vehicles, the MIRVs and can also be affixed with hyper glide vehicles or hypersonic glide vehicles, HGVs there. And there's no defense in the West against that. London doesn't have a defense, Paris doesn't have a defense, Berlin, Washington DC doesn't have a defense.
2:47:43 So, why are we trying to escalate into a world war when Russia can, you can say, nuke the crap out of the entire, all the countries of Western civilization? Why are we provoking that? Are leaders just insane or the criminal? Go ahead. It's the globalist desire for the extinction of human race. Remember, we all quote, we've seen the Georgia Guidestones. We've all quoted on talk radio for so many years, actually decades. But the bottom line is, Mike, they want a global nuclear war to decrease the world's population, bring it down to 500 million. Well, whenever the Georgia Guidestones came out, people said maintain
2:48:21 You know, they were reading maintain the population 500 million, but they never asked how you get rid of the 7.4 billion people. Those are not, quote, the ravings of our ilk. Those are the absolute facts. And when you're dealing about the Poseidon nuclear torpedoes that are 100 megatons, you're talking about the hypersonic missiles that are 25 megatons. We the how do I say this? The denial in the defense part, and by the way, the previous administration prior to Trump did everything they could to destroy the modernization of our nuclear arms. Look, I'm just saying this, ladies and gentlemen, if you're going to throw the first punch, you better make sure you've got it in the right area and not forced behind it, because one of these days very soon, this is bigger than just Russia and Ukraine, in my opinion.
2:49:08 It's the extension. You just mentioned a key phrase. You said if you throw the first punch, you know, you better make sure it counts. But if you look at classic game theory and mutually assured destruction theory and so on, it seems like the West is putting Russia in a situation where Russia is incentivized to throw the first punch to to actually launch a preemptive strike because Russia has the better offensive missiles and they have better defensive anti-ICBMs allowing them to absorb a retaliatory strike. So in classic game theory, America is making a horrendous mistake that could escalate this dramatically with catastrophic effects.
2:49:47 Final thoughts, Steve Quayle. Final thoughts, America has no civil defense. Russia can pretty much consider cover and put into their civil defense, fallout shelters, etc. 80% of their population. Vladimir Putin has stated if anything has taught, if history of war has taught him anything, they who fire first usually win. It used to be mutual assured destruction, mad theory, that no one would use nuclear weapons. When you can shield your population, you have very little to hold you back from taking out your enemies. Well, thank you, Steve, for all of your thoughts and warnings today. It's been an honor being able to talk with you here. I know our time is short, but thank you so much, Steve. Thank you, Mike.
