A Cultural Shift And A Vacuum

Daily Wire Decline And Shapiro

SPEAKER_01

Official broadcast of the apocalypse. We're going out live across WWCR, Worldwide Christian Radio, shortwave. So I keep the transmission authentic. It's not just on streaming platforms. We keep the old school alive at least one time a week. And I did that on purpose. Trying to remain my authentic self. All right, it's the 14th of May, 2026. And just I had to pick out, and we're there's no way I'm going to get to all the stories that I selected that were interesting or that were signposts on the road ahead that I think you should observe. But there is sort of a cultural shift going on. And I'm not sure what to make of it just yet. I just know that it's important. I don't know what will fill the vacuum, but something certainly will. And it's there's two pieces of this puzzle. There's um, I see on Drudge right now, we're going to get to the article, but the implosion of what I call the uh Karl Marx Republicans or the hospice care conservatives. And I I I talked about this for years. And it felt like, you know, being a lone voice in the desert. Like you you almost think of yourself as a madman, like because no one agrees with me, but I'm right. You know, I'm calling this out years and years ago. I mean, at the very beginning of my media career and and when I ran for office, it was just noticing that the conservative movement was not real. It was hijacked by people who would steer you into nothing. That's why I called them uh hospice care conservatives. They would hold your hand, they would reminisce with you about the good old times, and they just keep you comfortable while you died. You know, like there was no fight, there was no real strategy. It was only recognizing the problem and then keeping you held hostage or inert, right? And that was part of it. The other part of it was then the roots of the so-called intellectual leaders of the modern conservative. I'm talking about like, we're gonna get into Ben Shapiro here in a second, but the the Bill Crystals of the world and the neocon movement. And what was interesting about that is that they had all of their like their genesis was from being devotees of Leon Trotsky. So they get the again, it's interesting, like the whole thing is based on revolution, it's based off of uh the absence of tradition and faith or anything like this. It's it's ideological. And I thought this has to be exposed. And it seemed, you know, that because of the uh Christian Zionism, because of the support of Israel, you were able to capture like this fulcrum. They're able to capture the vast majority of so-called conservative people, right? And because of the and this intermixing is very brilliant. But that's all coming apart. And I wanted to start off talking about that because there's two sides to this. And um, let's get to this first article. And it's on it's on Drudge, but I'm gonna go to the actual link and let me put this up on the screen. And honestly, I didn't see this coming as fast as it's approaching, so there's probably something else to this. But it's uh this is from uh The American Affairs on the New Yorker, and it says, uh, why Ben Shapiro's media empire is collapsing. There's a time not long ago when Ben Shapiro could reasonably call himself the king of all conservative media, which was really painful to watch. If you recall, Ben Shapiro replaced Michael Savage on his uh the syndicated radio network when Savage uh stepped down. His company, the Daily Wire, dominated social media feeds, and podcast apps in the run-up to the 2020 election. It was ranked as Facebook's top English language publisher for three straight months. Uh virality seemed to be the Daily Wire's birthright. Scathing new items on Nancy Pelosi's salon visits during the pandemic wrapped up millions more than websites on Fox News, CNN, and the New York Times. Shapiro himself was ubiquitous, a right-wing star who had risen to fame before Donald Trump and seeming seamlessly adapted to the MAGA takeover of the Republican Party. Well, if you recall, he was one of those people, and uh Ben Shapiro voted for uh Hillary Clinton. This was um they had the 22 uh comment. What was it, 22 that came out, the Never Trumpers, they put out that special issue. Um, like an emergency issue of the Weekly Standard or something like that. Or no, it was National Review. And I remember going over that and thinking, wow, these people really want war. That was the whole point of the being anti-Trump in in 2016, is because he was talking about he was doing the uh the unthinkable. He was talking about and campaigning on peace, and they just couldn't abide by that. So this was like their raise on debt was taking him down. And uh, as soon as they figured out that he wasn't serious about that, then of course they they jumped on the uh the bandwagon there. Uh he was a digital battering ram against the Democrats and the progressive left. He see he seemed guaranteed, like Fox Excel, for an indefinite run at the top of the media heap. It says, but that's all over now. The Daily Wire is instituting significant layoff. Its YouTube channel subscriber base is starting to shrink, and its website has emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media. There are Daily Wire YouTube videos that now, after a few days online, have less than 10,000 views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers. The top comments all mock the low view counts. In part, the Daily Wire's fall from grace, ill-fated investments in feature films and epic fantasy series and peculiar merchandise. The greater story is the collapse of Shapiro's constituency, especially among the young media consumers who once fueled the Daily Wire's runaway growth. Well, this is true, right? And people grow up. And that's what's happened is that reality finally destroyed the facade. And there used to be, like, I remember I was broadcasting out of San Antonio, this is like 2019. They put out a great article. It's like, I remember the title, it was like Conservatism as Game, like as a game. And they would just talk about how these different hosts would try to get people whipped up into a frenzy, but then there would be like this uh it's almost like this point of making sure that nothing happens from it. Like they they would whip, they would make sure that it's all uh polarizing, that you would get into a particular uh mode or feel like you're part of a team, and then they would make sure it stops there at the water's edge. And that was what is glaring about all of this. Breitbart or the Daily Wire, or just about any uh even Fox News, any of these outlets, they have ties to what? Um the state of Israel or andor the military-industrial complex or a fusion of both. And it has nothing to do with actual conservatives, nothing to do with preserving the culture, preserving faith, or preserving the republic, or anything like that. It has nothing to do with anything, it's about strategy and nothing else. And this not for strategy on your behalf, and this is what it's always been about. And with all the outside events after October 7th, 2023, after all of that and the lead up to these last two uh hot wars with Iran and what's going on now, like the the thing is imploding and it's coming apart. I don't know that they saw that coming.

SPEAKER_00

Let's see, let's go back to the article.

SPEAKER_01

There are two realities to Shapiro conservatism in 2026. It retains a significant foothold among Republican elites and is fast being rejected by the future grassroots of the party. Well, just like Charlie Kirk was having an awakening that wasn't going to be tolerated, um, this is happening across the board. And again, it's because reality is setting in. It's no longer the the game can no longer retain the actual real events happening. And so the the box that was used to hold that is collapsing. Shapiro, who is an Orthodox Jew, is fiercely pro-Israel. His support for Israel and hatred for the Palestinian cause are issues that define him and his political as a political figure. He is an unequivocal backer of Netanyahu's Israel and a committed, conventional, neoconservative. He has been predictably thrilled by Trump's war against Iran. Also, a fiscal libertarian and social conservative. Well, see, that's another thing. Like he as he takes the argument of libertarianism and so-called social conservative, and he he bastardizes it. It's almost like if, again, his views on being pro-war and using the United States as an instrument for Israel or for neocon ideological class experiments cancels out whatever he's talking about, like as far as social conservatism. Because if you understand history at all, and if you a country or a nation or a people that are constantly at war, their values degenerate. I mean, it's over time, and James Madison talked about this. You know, the republic cannot survive in a state of perpetual war. And uh you can trace back even the collapse of the Athenians or the Greeks or uh the Romans. Like it's it's perpetual warfare that that makes a degenerate society over time. Like you can survive a couple of them, but if you don't get out of the state of war, uh then you have a collapse, an internal breaking down of order, right? Because then you start the the family that has to have uh there has to be sequences of peace and other things. They don't want that. They're again, they're they believe in this revolution that's ideological, it's nothing to do with God, has nothing to do with faith, has nothing to do with any of that. That's their faith. If you look deep enough into it, you'll see what I'm talking about. Let's see, no longer. The anti-Israeli, anti-Semitic groipers led by Nick Fuentes, are in ascendance. Candace Owens, who once worked with Shapiro at the Daily Wire, now boasts a YouTube channel that is larger than his, where she's indulged in anti-Israel conspiracy theories, warred by Charlie Kirk's widow, and even broken with Trump without suffering any financial consequences. Well, there's another tell. Like, that is the future. She's already doing it. And you're seeing like that, used to, and that's why you can see people even like Alex Jones is broken away with Trump, because it's it no longer like the audience is what drives that. You have to understand the audience, once you've reached a certain level, and I did this because I was on radio, there's an there, I understood it. Once you've reached a certain level, there the audience is going to demand a certain loyalty to the political figures that they support. There's a certain brainwashing, I guess, if you will. Like there's a level you cannot deviate from script. You have to figure out a way to like make sense of what this person's doing that's betraying you. That's what everybody, all these commentators that have been in the uh in the MAGA movement have had to do. It's a lot of mental gymnastics. I didn't want to take part in that. So I, you know, I gave up a lot of money. It just didn't seem worth it to me. Like I know the audience wants it. I know that I could grow 10 or 100 X by saying the things I didn't believe, and I just didn't do it. There's no upside in the long run. Because in the long run, again, just this is what's happening. Like the employee, this is the this is the end of this whatever started in 2015, right? Trump coming down the escalator and this whole movement, this the dressing up of nationalism, the fusion of that, which could have been just on purpose as a control demolition, but that's coming apart. And Shapiro, one of these people that was against it, right, and vehemently opposed, even voted for Hillary Clinton, is uh now suffering because he tied his, you know, again, he he hitched his wagon to all of this.

SPEAKER_00

Let's go back to the article in here. Uh see.

SPEAKER_01

Beyond Owens and Fuentes, Tucker Carlson and Meghan Kelly have found massive audiences with their own brand of conspiratorial commentary that marries Israel skepticism and isolationist advocacy. What? Carlson and Kelly have both loudly opposed the war in Iran. Trump now reviles them, but neither ex-Fox talking head has backed down. Carlson seems to be moving on from Trump completely. Well, yeah, that's that's the future. As the recent state elections in Indiana show, Republicans who drank with Trump can still suffer. He remains godly among the MAGA faithful. It remains to be seen if the Carlson or Owen projects have an electoral future. What is clear, however, is there is an online constituency for what they do, whereas Shapiro's will have an expiration date. Gen Z conservatives have no great affection for Israel. In the Groyper tent, this can be chalked up to Jew hatred, but the story is far more complicated among the millions of right-leaning voters who simply don't understand how Trump could campaign on America first while standing up a foreign policy that is clearly subservient to the whims of Netanyahu's government. In 2025, a pundit who claimed Netanyahu would be dictating the terms of Iran bombing campaign for Trump might have been accused of trafficking and anti-Semitic tropes. Instead, we've learned that's essentially what happened. The reality of two wars, Israel's bombing of Gaza following the October 7th attacks and the ongoing bombardment of Iran cannot be waived away by the likes of Shapiro, whose propaganda's talking points have grown stale. There are young conservatives willing to call Israel's actions in Gaza genocidal or question how establishing a violent apartheid state in the West Bank is furthering America's interests. That is true, and a lot of you understand what a departure this is. I mean, we're talking this is like the floodgates that will open up now. Like all the establishment uh outlets, the gatekeepers, what what happens when the gates are busted down? Like there's there's going to be, and there is, in the creating a vacuum. I mean, Carlson and Owens understand you don't have to agree with them on everything, which I certainly don't, but they understand that because they're they look at trends. This, whatever this was, and you can still you see the remnants of it, and we don't have to talk about Israel all the time. I mean, it's it's obviously apparent, you know, that's what standard politics are about in this country, especially, you know, if you're in a in a red state, uh, you're gonna have, you know, the politicians are gonna be subservient uh to that ideology for the most part, you know, and you get the sprinklings of the Thomas Masseys and so on and so forth, but um that that's that's what's happening now, but that's not the future. It's just not. I mean, they can they certainly have a they can certainly dictate terms for the most part right now, politically, but culturally, people have moved on. And the future, again, if you're looking at the the grassroots, like even this article says, it's it's very astute. You're picking up on something, you know, three, five, ten years down the road, it's gonna be a massive shift. And it it won't look anything like what we've previously experienced. I mean, you look at um, one of the reasons I got out of traditional talk radio is is because of this standard, standardized line of ideology that was there, and you had to toe the line, and and it's a diminishing uh platform. I mean, I I'm happy to be over on WWCR. I mean, this is like Bill Cooper's old frequency, and it goes around around the world. They broadcast out of Nashville, and I'll do that for as long as I can do the show. But I'm not going back to traditional AM talk. I'm not gonna do terrestrial radio because of this. It's built into that, and that's why this the the whole platform is in a steep decline. They picked uh this, I think, bankrupt uh set of principles and ran with it. And yeah, boomers, you know, you get the you get the demographic that will latch onto this, and I've I run into them all the time. And you know, they're the Fox News watchers, and they they have like there's a set demo, but the new is not what's they're not buying any of this. So you're watching the collapse of something in real time. Like it's not coming back, like there's not gonna be like a second act. Like this is the decline of whatever the Shapiro's of the world are. We're gonna get into some of the other people that you have in his periphery they're also uh their careers are going to be in decline and they're lurching towards authoritarianism to secure that. That's the that's the other shooter drop in this.

SPEAKER_02

Let's see if there's anything else I can pull out of this article.

GOP Future And A Liberty Rebound

Domestic Terror Labels And Free Speech

Live Chat Checks And Housekeeping

SPEAKER_01

In the second Trump term, conventional conservatives are undoubtedly the power brokers, and they'll have another two and a half years to impose their will on the country and the rest of the world. Attempted regime change in Iran and Venezuela with great neoconservative projects? Marco Rubio might be the most important official in the Trump cabinet, and there are signs he's displacing J.D. Vance as the front runner for the 2028 nomination. Who, though, will actually own the future? What will the GOP look like in 10 or 20 years? Will your prototypical Republican be a Shapiro Republican, libertarian on economics, interventionist on foreign policy, and extremely pro-Israel? Or will they look very different, closer to Carlson or an Owens or even a Fuentes? Well, my prediction is it won't look like any of those things because the GOP will be a casualty, just like the Whigs, just like the Whig Party, the GOP will be a casualty of itself. It is literally the fruit of a poisonous tree. Go back and look at the history of the Republican Party. Did you know it started out of a communist commune in Wisconsin? 1850s. Horace Greeley. The newspaper people, the the uh intellectuals of the time, and the financial people that were also supporters of Karl Marx, they set up the Republican Party. You can go look at that. There's uh a book of the shadows of the deep state. And it talks about that. Um, but that's really neither here nor there. What happened is in this choices that they made, it's devalued itself. It's just like a you know, uh equity in business or a stock or whatever. I mean, it's finally created a place where, even though there's some executive power right now, where it will be on the it's it's on the chopping block of history. It will be on the ash sheep of history, it will be replaced by something else. I mean, in a smart world, if we're even talking about elections being you know legitimate at all, but uh, and I think they can be, especially on a local level. I mean, you can bring that back. I mean, it's not like that hasn't worked at some level. There's always corruption, there's always grift and everything around that, but elections can work and political movements can work. We've seen that happen throughout history. I think the smart move would be it's kind of like the a beautiful mind, you know. We have John Nash who had that theory. If you ever watch the movie A Beautiful Mind, where John Nash uh talks about economic equilibrium, you know, and it's like they're at the bar and he's like, what if nobody there's the women at the bar? He said, What if nobody goes for the blonde? You know? Well, what if the the point here of politics is to seize like ultimate power? What if you what if you bypass that? What if you just said, I'm gonna abandon that? What if what if nobody it's like what if they had a war and nobody nobody fought, right? There's a counterintuitive strategy, I think. Something akin to, you know, instead of giving your power to this thing that absorbs it and makes it inert, create something of your own or or start working inside something like the Libertarian Party that has the ballot access. There will, there's going to be a sea change here. I don't think that the future belongs to the uh Christian nationalist or any sort of the totalitarian type people. I think it's more liberty-based. I think it's more freedom-based. I think something that looks a lot like the Ron Paul Revolution of 2008 or 2012 will re-emerge from all this. And it'll happen, it's gonna have to continue to collapse on itself. Like the entire thing that was built up, which is a facade through MAGA, will collapse on itself. All right. So following in this, and I want to pull up the next article, because they can no longer control the narrative, right? So this is this is apparent. You're you're watching this in real time, and I didn't think it would happen this fast, but it is, and I'm glad for it. It needed to happen, or living in a false reality. So you've got you've captured a certain amount of demographics that are shrinking. The newer people want out of this, that don't, they don't buy it, uh, which is fantastic. So, what do you do if you're a you know, if you're the the uh ruling class, if you're at a cocktail party with the overlords and they're trying to figure out what to do about uh Tucker Carlson or or Nick Fuentes or any of those, what do you do? Well, here's what you do. I just pulled this, I saw this yesterday on Drudge, um, and they're trying to walk some of it back, but you know this is real. This is on MSN.com, uh, just a link that I found basically from three or four other outlets trying to debunk it. But Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson reportedly labeled possible domestic terrorists by Trump, by Trump, by Trump counterterrorism chief. Donald Trump's top counterterrorism chief has placed Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes within the crosshairs of the administration's new domestic security framework, according to reporting published on 13 May of 2026 by journalist Ken Klippenstein. Sebastian Golka, the White House deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counterterrorism, made the remarks during an appearance on the Alex Marlowe show, a program hosted by Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlowe. Wasn't that story I read some years ago about uh who walked into a Breitbart meeting and oh, I think it was like Andrew Breitbart, and they had Netanyahu was there and like a whole bunch of, I think Ben Shapiro was there. These are these outlets all are like a cacophony of propaganda uh for a foreign nation state. Seriously, guys. I mean it's I've known this for years and years, and and I'm glad that it's being seen for what it is now. I just the damage that's been done is pretty insane. Let's see. It's uh yeah, singling both men out as figures who may not qualify for conservative movement protections under the administration's new national security counterterrorism strategy. What the hell does that even mean? What wouldn't your First Amendment like this is where we've departed long ago? I mean, you know, the the selling out of free speech, the First Amendment, the freedom of assembly, all the rest of like the most important sacred things in our society, you start compromising with that, and then uh these hypocrites and weak men who get anywhere near the livers of power, instead of bolstering free speech or anything when they were themselves censored. Well, not Sebastian Gorka, because he's never said anything that would qualify to have him taken down anywhere because he's not doing anything to go against the national surveillance or security state. But they definitely want to qualify speech, which, you know, it's really insulting. Like you have veteran cemeteries all over the world, but especially here in the U.S., places like Arlington that are just packed full of people that died fighting for what they believed was the Constitution or the Republic or the freedom, you know, what the flag supposedly stood for. And I'm not saying that it always has or always does or anything like that. But isn't it insulting? Like, that's at least the idea that they had. Like if you asked my closest friends who if they were alive today to talk to you about it, like what they believed in, they would believe that America stood for something. One of those things is freedom of movement, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to redress grievances. Uh, but no, you you don't qualify now under the conservative movement protections. Both Carlson and Fuentes had recently broken with Trump over his the U.S. war on Iran, which Carlson publicly described as the single biggest mistake of any American president in his lifetime. The disclosure adds a new dimension to a domestic security architecture that critics argue is built not to neutralize genuine threats, but to silence political dissent. That's exactly what it's doing. When Marlowe asks directly whether right-wing terror or extreme extremism warranted concern, Gorka's response pointed not at any organized violence, but at two media figures who had challenged Trump on Iran. Gorka said, I'm not sure that Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson are conservatives. Okay. If you are lauding Sharia law, if you are saying that there are Muslim states that seem to be better qualitatively than America in terms of freedom and prosperity, I'm not sure that means you're part of the conservative movement. So if you remove those individuals and you understand they're not conservative, what's left? Yeah, this is this is people like Gork in a nutshell. And it it's something I noticed, I mean, even years ago. I go back to 2019, uh, 2020. Uh I used to follow Gorka on uh what was it, 9:30 a.m. I was the radio station out of San Antonio. And you could tell, like his listeners, I mean, he was feeding them this garbage. Uh and it was very much centered in the health of the state through war. That's this whole thing. Like, that's what you cannot criticize. It's like Voltaire. If you want to, you know, that quote from Voltaire, if you want to see who rules over you, look to see who you cannot criticize. Well, uh, Gorkha's making it pretty clear. You cannot criticize the national security state, you cannot criticize Israel, you cannot criticize the power structure. So, how is that conservative? Well, I I've argued this for years, and it doesn't even matter. They've become such a funhouse mirror version and caricature of themselves. They've delegitimized themselves so well for me. I don't even have to do it anymore. I mean, clearly you can just see they're just authoritarians that are working day and night for a script. They are reading a script for propaganda on behalf of a foreign nation state. The Sharia law charge against Carlson is drawn from an interview in which the former Fox News host describes the social atmosphere he encountered while visiting Gulf states. Carlson recounted sitting at dinner in Riyadh and being received warmly as a Christian, noting that Saudi Arabia is governed by Sharia law, whilst observing that its residents still found his faith admirable. Well, you know, Carlson's not wrong. This is something like if you want to get into the true, like the true evil that the the ideology of somebody like Agorka who claim not to be neoconservative, they're all neoconservatives, okay? This the evil that underlies, and I've been telling, like, the if you if you have something that has its roots in Marxian revolution, right? That is, in my opinion, that is Satan's operating system in the third dimension. Like Marxism, communism, that is the operation systems for Satan. That's what it does. It just destroys everything. Well, that's where they find their root. And they cover it up and they dress it up nice, like lipstick on a pig. They'll say, well, uh, you know, we're for the Second Amendment, you know. Oh, we're for, we're for, we're pro-life, right? We're for all these things. But if you really boil it down, they don't have any interest in that stuff. They want the national security state, they have this ideological bent, they and it traces everything back again to the Trotskyism of it, of the revolution. They want to have perpetual war. And this is this is the end game of that. You cross the line by not supporting their endless wars. And all of this is think about the smoke screens. Think about this, has been pretty elaborate. Think of the of the psy-op of running someone like Trump and running this whole movement based on peace as a ruse. Now, other presidents have done this. Um, certainly Woodrow Wilson did it in 1916. I mean, his motto, like the whole thing, what he ran on was he kept us out of war. We know that. And the first thing he did was get us into World War I. The same thing happened with Franklin Roosevelt. You know, uh this happens all the time. Um, but nothing quite so intricate. And they didn't the talking points. I mean, if you go back to 2016 with Trump, and there was a reason why a lot of these guys were so vehemently opposed, and that why they had the the 22 people have that special uh national review uh issue come out to opposing Trump, which I funny, I thought as 2022, uh that's when I was like, oh, that's that's how many veterans kill themselves a day over the wars that you supported. I thought that was interesting. It was 22, is it? They all supported war, but now you can see who supports and how that that overlaps. So there's a powerful continuity structure in our political system, and it has nothing to do with blue or red or left or right. There's a there's a permanent structure, and this is about uh empire, it's about war, and and maybe even not for the sake of American power, but just for the sake of having the war. Do you understand? Like there is a ritualistic aspect to all of this. Gorkha is one of those uh entities that is uh all about this. See what animates them. Isn't it interesting what animates them? So yeah, this is the the gist of it here. The this tweet from Ken Klippenstein says uh White House court uh counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka says, I'm not sure that Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson are conservatives if you're lauding Sharia law. And then it goes into this new counter-terrorism stance that the White House is is lauding and they're pushing through. And they have certain uh backdrops and certain outs for conservatives that you you won't be covered. Your speech won't be covered if you oppose their their war agenda. So that's absolutely happening. That's another so the two things are happening at once. It's like the implosion of the old order and what was built as facade, it's coming down, uh, like building seven. I don't know, I don't think it's a controlled demolition. I think it's something that they uh their their own hubris and uh events, I mean, reality finally uh destroyed their own uh you know facade that's being brought down. But in the place of that, you will have ascending voices. They're no longer going to be able to hold on to hearts and minds, folks. This is a huge thing, right, that's happening. And I didn't mean to spend 40 minutes of the show, but that's uh it's something very big, like that's something that I I think is going to define the next two and three, five years, like as we go into the end of this decade. And uh a lot will happen because of this. So, anyway, that is at least to get you thinking about the uh the end of the so-called hospice care conservative, uh neoconservative Karl Marx Republican movement. All right. Uh let's see where else let's go to the comments really quick. I have uh I have not paid attention to YouTube this whole time. Uh Bronx Stomper111. It says afternoon, everybody. Uh Bob M9509. Yeah, you got there first, Bob. It's good to see you. Thanks for being in the chat. Uh Kenny, uh Kenny F and Powers for Life. Hi, Tony, Beans the Brave. Let's get it. Appreciate you. Oh, yeah. Uh Kenny says, uh, and I'm I'm gonna see if I can get to that too. Uh they're really trying to uh slowly build this Hunter virus Psy-Op to try to gain the trust of the smooth brain. That's true. Uh let's see. I I have never watched or listened to any of the people you speak of, Tony. Wouldn't trust any of them. Oh, yeah, I know. Well, I didn't think you did. But a lot of people have, and I think the coolest part is they know there's a big chunk of them that are walking away. Uh, can you say where you got this article? Um this is Angel Blue9224. Uh, where did I get the article? There's an article, it's on MSN. And then uh, if you go to Drudge right now, and the article on Shapiro is out of the, I think the New Yorker. Uh, let's see. Uh at 112 Damien says Tony A for D ⁇ I. Well, um, you know, that would be an interesting. I uh would it would I get the uh the Deley Plaza can, you know, open car Kennedy treatment? Or um how do you think that would they poison me? What would they what would they do? I I'd be a real problem. Um Bob 9509 says, what tune opens the show? Well, Bob, I can't really do anything copywritten, but if you listen to the first part of the show, uh that is uh Megadeth's Into the Lungs of Hell. Uh this slightly where you hear the little trumpet, and then there's a uh it's a non-copywritten generic version of Train of Consequences by Megadeth, and that's that little that little riff. I wish I could do the real songs, uh, but they'll you know, they'll take it down. All right, let me go over to how many live chats in the rumble? Nobody's in the rumble chat today? That's crazy. Is that even true?

SPEAKER_02

Let me see if I can oh, there it is.

Iran War Shock And Money Supply

Hantavirus Fear Script And X Files

SPEAKER_01

No, there was no rumble chat. I didn't see it for a minute. Yeah, harps is over in the chat, and uh, I see you guys. Thanks for yeah, Harps says uh Gorka seems like a mix of MI5-6 and Chatham House. He certainly does. Yeah. All right, let's um let's switch gears a bit. Uh and you know, there's so much going on. I I pulled an article off Zero Hedge earlier, and I was going to talk about that about uh the money supply and what's happening with the war in Iran, which is a huge thing. I mean, there's so much to cover now with all the changes happening, and a lot of it is dressed up as normal, but it's absolutely not. Like what's happening with The Strait of Hormuz closure, reopenings, closures, uh, non, you know, non-deal that's happened, like the flow and the outcropping of that, massive shifts in energy and supply chains and fertilizer and everything else. Like this is it's a lot. It's a lot to unpack there. And then you talk about the governments around the world that are about to, and they're confused on what to do. Like some, like even our Federal Reserve is talking about raising rates to shrink the money supply, tighten up uh, you know, the monetary policy. Some of our hawkish, some of are dovish. Someone say one of the lower rates or just do straight up QE and quantitative easing. Nobody knows what to do because we've never seen manufactured energy supply crises happen in real time. Like, no, this hasn't happened before. Um, so we're creating this, and a lot of it could be smoke screen for something else. We'll maybe talk about that here in a second, but as I close the show. But that's happening, and so the money supply is going to be increased, folks. I mean, this is I didn't even go into any of the monetary stuff today. Uh, but huge happenings there. All right. Let's uh let's change gears a bit. They mentioned we mentioned the Hontavirus. Let's uh let's talk about that for a second. First, why don't we play this clip uh from the X-Files from 1998? And this is what it's funny, it's the first thing I thought of when they started talking about the I'm sure you guys have seen it by now. Um, but it's the first thing I thought of when uh when they started this uh latest round of uh of you know, you must be afraid of the panic and all the stuff that surrounding uh Honta right now. I'm sure this will be also be flagged. You're not the just like COVID-1984 was flagged, so like anytime the AI picks up on it. Let me put this up on the screen real quick. This was an interesting, it's funny that's where my mind went to. Yeah, this is 1998 X-file, so check this out.

SPEAKER_04

Are you familiar with the Hantavirus as your mother? Yeah, it was a deadly virus spread by field mice in the southwestern United States several years ago. According to the newspaper, FEMA was called out to manage an outbreak of the hantavirus. Are you familiar with what the Federal Emergency Management Agency's real power is? FEMA allows the White House to suspend constitutional government upon declaration of a national emergency. Think about that. What is an agency with such broad-sweeping power doing managing a small viral outbreak in suburban Texas? You're saying it wasn't such a small outbreak. No. I'm saying it wasn't the hantavirus. Well, what was it? What was it? When we put young men in the military, you find our approved for a project. They told us it was biological warfare or virus. What killed those men? What killed them, I won't even write about. We have no context of what killed those men, or any appreciation of the scale of which will be unleashed in the future. A plague? A silent weapon for a quiet war. The systematic release of an indiscriminate organism for which the men who were bringing on still have no cure. They've been working on this for 50 years. While the rest of the world have been fighting troops and commies, these men have been secretly negotiating a planned armageddon. Negotiating with whom?

Silent Weapons And Pandemic Narrative Claims

Gold Silver Prices And Final Plug

SPEAKER_01

I think you know. Uh, interesting. Yeah, I um uh uh initially thought of that, and then the context of it, of course, he's he's talking about uh an extraterrestrial uh virus, they're using Honta as a cover for all that. And uh you throw in some of the oldies but the goodies, and we don't do that enough. And he gets the the silent weapons for quiet wars reference, I think it's so important today. Like even if even if that document isn't real, and I think it's probably based off a real document. This is the if you know the story of Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, it was found in an IBM copier at an estate sale in 1986. Somebody just found this copier inside the copier, which is what really happened, by the way. Was one set of this manual, this technical manual called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. And it was dated May 1st, 1979, which May 1st is the celebration of not only communism, but the birthday of the Illuminati. So they have this document that it's so bizarre, and it talks about uh energy harvesting and you know the replace the supplanting of the culture and how to use people. Basically, it's it's it's uh it's an enslavement protocol, how to how to use uh propaganda and sophisticated economic instruments to just suck the life out of people and to dominate them as stakes on the table, as Bill Cooper would say. So that's part of it. We don't really dig in enough to that anymore. And so, you know, this isn't necessarily like the clip itself probably doesn't have much bearing on what's actually happening and what they would use any of this for. But it is interesting that it's a reminder of what we've already been through. And then you have all these other things happening at once. He's trying to put the puzzle pieces together. You notice like the energy crisis, the collapsing internal political structure here in the U.S., or even like all the like that's a that's no small thing. You get the collapse and the implosion of any codifying, unifying thing for the grassroots of those who push back, which could be and most likely is by design. And then you get uh you know, all the variables uh with foreign war and geop geopolitically, all of that. It it does make you think about you know the strategy of divide and conquer and the uh order abkeo, you know, the Hygelian dialectic, all the stuff that comes out with the stuff we've been talking about for years. It's conspiracy 101, ladies and gentlemen. All right. I have so much I still wanted to get into, but we don't have time. All right, we'll do uh we'll end on the the hontavirus then. Uh this is off natural news. The hontavirus script, a planned pandemic, according to new book. And this is from Douglas Harrington over at uh natural news. Says a 2026 cruise ship outbreak is described as the manufactured trigger for a planned hontavirus pandemic, according to the book, Viral Deception 2, the Hontavirus script, and the rise of pandemic 2.0. The book reports that within hours of the Royal Caribbean ship docking in Miami, with dozens of passengers suffering from a sudden respiratory illness, major corporate news outlets, including CNN and BBC, activated coordinated fear narrative phrases such as mysterious outbreak and new deadly threat. It alleges that the U.S. Caters for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization deployed hantivirus PCR tests with psychoth thresholds set to so high they produce false positives for anyone with mild respiratory symptoms. Within days, the WHO declared a public health emergency of international concern, according to the book, prompting demands for mask mandates, regional lockdowns, and a new vaccine rollout. The book traces hantavirus' first documented uh outbreak to the Korean War, where approximately 3,000 United Nations troops were infected with the then unknown illness, later named Korean hemorrhagic fever. The handbook of current uh mint current health medicine notes that hantavirus are named for the Hontan River in South Korea, where scientists isolated the virus in 1976. The book asserts that declassified documents reveal the U.S. Army has been researching rodent-borne pathogens at the biological warfare labs at Fort Dietrich in Maryland since at least 1948, and that the outbreak may have been a test run for a biological weapon. According to the book, whistleblower testimony and leaked documents indicate the CDC and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, as discussed in the uh in the ex-Files clip, reportedly prepared for a hemorrhagic fever release during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Dr. Li Ming Yang, a former Chinese government scientist, came forward with statements that the Chinese Communist Party had studied various uh hemorrhic fever viruses, including Hontavirus, and that the CDC was prepared to release such a bioweapon during the games, according to that. Well, yeah, again, this is a book, and uh you know you have to wonder like, is it's am I is you're adding to the to the fear script by even going down the rabbit hole? Do we do we expand these things by paying attention to them in the first place? Uh hontavirus is classified as a category A pathogen by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Department of War, according to the book, despite being a rare rodent-borne disease that does not spread between humans. The book argues that this classification, which typically includes agents like anthrax and smallpox, indicates preparation for weaponization rather than public concern. A July 2025 study uh funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency described experiments in which scientists aerosolized uh Cyanarbra virus, a hantavirus with an estimated 30% fatality rate to study its airborne stability. Well, it's always wonderful when the uh the people in white coats are uh the new priest class that they've labeled themselves, the scientists always seem to do such wonderful things with their time. The new book asserts that uh the strain that caused hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in North America has never demonstrated human-to-human airborne transmission in over 30 years of surveillance. The handbook of current health medicine reports that the first known pr death preceded the spring 1993 outbreak of the Four Corners region. Yeah, this is back in the Southwest, and this is what the whole clip from X-Files was talking about. Well, yeah, again, folks, I think we'll hear more about this, most likely. And it seems like a they like a buffet of things, don't they? They like to they like to have all of the all the terrible ifs like circling at the same time, like uh in some sort of uh like a like a child has one of those mobiles, they can just choose from one of them. This is what's going on. I can't uh you know, whether they'll use it for uh the purposes of new lockdown uh or mask up or whatever, it always, you know, you can always uh count on them. They like to run the same place. All right. Well, let me uh close out the show. We'll look at some spot prices really quick. Yeah, I've got uh I've got to go to the trading floor today. We have a lot going on. It's been insane with uh these fluctuating prices on silver. And I read just to give you a little bit of closing out on stuff that's going on in the metals market. Gold and silver are both down today. Gold's at 46.75, 4,675 Luciferian bankster notes make a troy ounce of gold. Uh 8464 on silver is down almost$4 over yesterday's trade. So$84.69 uh for the white metal. But just a side note, uh both of these are holding up quite well given the instability and what's happening with the uh the energy markets. But I read an article and I think they're they're correct. Uh silver is having another consolidation moment. So if you're looking like long-term, the industrial uses of silver, and because not only is the industrial uses are pushing the price up, but the monetary uses of silver are coming back online given the fact that trust is diminishing. So across the world, that's why they're building all these physical facilities in places like Hong Kong for gold storage. But central banks and governments are starting to look at even like institutions are looking at silver again. And this could push silver past the 90 into 100 back over to where we were at the beginning of the year. So watch silver really close because even with the instability, the industrial's demand is pushing it, and then we're in a post-trust society, folks. I mean, this is long term, a lot of these numbers are gonna look quaint. And uh the definitely the accelerator is is down. We're full speed ahead at this point. I don't I don't think that things are gonna calm down anytime soon. I think this is just the the world in which we live. So check that out. And uh I will do a plug as I'm watching my son deal with a customer out here uh through the window here in my studio. Uh Wise Wolf, Gold and Silver, and uh Wolfpack.gold.
