I Haven’t Given a Warning Like This Since 2007 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I want to tell you to prepare for
- 0:01impact. And this is something that I
- 0:03don't say lightly. It is something that
- 0:06Jason and I have talked about for a
- 0:08while. I have I have
- 0:11You can dismiss this all you want and
- 0:14you might be right.
- 0:15But I want to show you a trend and some
- 0:17things that have been bothering me.
- 0:20And
- 0:21tell you what I think is a prudent
- 0:24thing to do.
- 0:26Last time I said something like this was
- 0:272007 I think when I was when it had been
- 0:31bothering me, bothering me, bothering me
- 0:33for a long time and and
- 0:36you [clears throat] know what happened
- 0:37in 2008.
- 0:39I want you to prepare for impact. I'm
- 0:41going to explain that here in a second,
- 0:42but
- 0:44I think it was on Monday the the UK
- 0:47government launched a national campaign
- 0:49called be ready.
- 0:51Be ready.
- 0:54What they're saying is every household
- 0:56in the country should have water, food
- 0:59that needs no cooking.
- 1:01That means lack of power, medicine, a
- 1:03flashlight, a wind-up radio, and cash.
- 1:06And enough to last 3 days.
- 1:1072 hours is how long it usually takes
- 1:13when a government can respond. If
- 1:16there's a big emergency, it's usually 72
- 1:19hours. So you know
- 1:21after 72 hours things begin to break
- 1:24down. Look at any big disaster. You look
- 1:27at Katrina. Everything held together
- 1:29pretty well for 72 hours. Once there is
- 1:34no help coming after 72 hours, that's
- 1:37when the bad guys decide I can take
- 1:40this. Okay?
- 1:42So be careful on the 72-hour thing, but
- 1:44pay attention.
- 1:46So they're asking everybody in the UK to
- 1:49be ready. Their words, not mine. And
- 1:52Britain is not alone on this. Germany is
- 1:54telling its people to keep 10 days.
- 1:57France and Ireland and the Netherlands
- 1:59also want 72-hour kits in every home.
- 2:03The Dutch are even now telling their
- 2:05people how much cash to keep in a
- 2:07drawer. When's the last time you had
- 2:08cash?
- 2:10Do you even carry cash anymore?
- 2:13You need to have cash.
- 2:15You must have cash. What they're saying
- 2:18what by saying they have to have cash.
- 2:20Now, they say again,
- 2:21multiple countries in Europe, they're
- 2:24saying right now, put cash in a drawer.
- 2:26What is that? That's because they
- 2:28believe there could be some sort of
- 2:30digital disruption.
- 2:33Now, Sweden dusted off its old Cold War
- 2:36pamphlet about 6 months ago and they
- 2:37wrote it rewrote it for today and it
- 2:39reminds citizens that
- 2:41in a war, the these are their words, not
- 2:44mine.
- 2:45Reminder, this is from the Cold War and
- 2:47they've updated it. In a war, you have a
- 2:49duty to help.
- 2:52The Swiss also have done exactly the
- 2:55same thing. They've been doing this for
- 2:57decades, but they got they stopped after
- 2:59the Cold War and they've gotten serious
- 3:00about it again. The European Union has
- 3:03asked all 450 million of its people to
- 3:07do the same. Prepare.
- 3:11Now, why?
- 3:14Well, it's crisis commissioner called
- 3:17being ready for anything is, quote, our
- 3:20new European way of life.
- 3:25Okay, now come home to the United
- 3:26States. September 30th, Secretary of War
- 3:28signed a memo creating something called
- 3:30Fortress. I don't know if you heard
- 3:32about it, but under Fortress, every
- 3:35major military base in the continental
- 3:37US must be able to run for 90 days
- 3:42without any outside help. It's requiring
- 3:46now to have their own power, its own
- 3:48water, its own fuel, its own food and be
- 3:51able to close those gates and run for 90
- 3:55days.
- 3:57Its own communications, everything.
- 4:00Some bases are going to get their own
- 4:03small nuclear reactors.
- 4:11That's now the standard
- 4:13in the United States. It was just
- 4:15announced.
- 4:16The Pentagon's chief spokesman said, and
- 4:19I'm quoting, "In the next major war,
- 4:21global supply chains will break." Do you
- 4:24remember what happened during COVID? If
- 4:26you think that's bad, imagine war.
- 4:31Then there is also the RF the RAF base
- 4:35in Fairford.
- 4:36This is the base in England where the
- 4:38American B-1 bombers where we fly our
- 4:41bombers to strike on Iran, okay?
- 4:44Early hours of September 27th, neighbors
- 4:47called the police about white vans and
- 4:49masked men near the fence. And what did
- 4:51the prime minister over there say? Well,
- 4:53that's nothing. They were just crazy. It
- 4:55was just they're having a picnic in the
- 4:57middle of the night. Remember?
- 4:59Five men were arrested on suspicion of
- 5:01preparing a terrorist act. Then our
- 5:04American bombers were pulled out because
- 5:06we I my guess is we didn't think that
- 5:09they were taking this seriously.
- 5:11Yesterday, Great Britain
- 5:14arrested two 24-year-old British men
- 5:18charged under Britain's National
- 5:20Security Act.
- 5:22Both have unpronounceable names. Either
- 5:25Muhammad or Abdul is their first.
- 5:28One is accused of assisting a foreign
- 5:31intelligence service. Now, Britain's top
- 5:34counter-terror cop named that country,
- 5:37Iran.
- 5:40The prime minister says the plot was
- 5:42almost certain quoting, "Almost
- 5:44certainly directed by the Revolutionary
- 5:47Guard." And that more than 50 people
- 5:50have been arrested over Iran-linked
- 5:52plots in Great Britain just in the last
- 5:55few months.
- 5:57Don't know if you saw this piece of news
- 5:58in Palm Beach.
- 6:01The army has now put the Avenger air
- 6:04defense system on a barge in the
- 6:07Intercoastal Waterway outside of
- 6:09Mar-a-Lago.
- 6:11It is in plain view now of anyone
- 6:13driving down the Southern Boulevard.
- 6:16Who confirmed it? And who is running it?
- 6:20NORAD.
- 6:22NORAD
- 6:24has put it in and is running it at the
- 6:26request of the Secret Service. Same day,
- 6:30the Director of National Intelligence
- 6:32warned Secretary of State that Iran has
- 6:34substantially increased its efforts to
- 6:37target plain old everyday Americans and
- 6:41some of those advanced plots have
- 6:43reached advanced stages.
- 6:47Now,
- 6:49none of these stories
- 6:51mean the sky is falling. None of these.
- 6:55A government asking you to keep 3 days
- 6:57of water is asking you to do what your
- 6:59grandmother did without being told.
- 7:03You know,
- 7:04she would can.
- 7:06Our Our grandparents knew. I Every time
- 7:08I would say, you know, they would talk
- 7:09about the Depression and I'd be like,
- 7:11"Grandma and Grandpa, this is not going
- 7:12to happen again. It can't happen again."
- 7:13They were like, my grandfather would
- 7:15turn to me and he would look at me like
- 7:17death in his eyes and he'd go, "Don't
- 7:20ever think that way. You have no idea
- 7:22how fast this can collapse." They lived
- 7:25through it.
- 7:28So, none of these stories is tall the
- 7:30sky is falling, but you put them side by
- 7:32side, capital after capital in the same
- 7:36couple of months,
- 7:39what do you get?
- 7:40You get people telling its own people
- 7:45prepare.
- 7:47You get them saying, "When something
- 7:48breaks, you're going to be on your own
- 7:50for a while." Hear me.
- 7:53When something breaks, you're going to
- 7:55be on your own for a while. And while
- 7:58our own military is planning to be on
- 8:01its own for 3 months, you should do the
- 8:05same.
- 8:07Do you understand what that means? All
- 8:08of our bases have to run
- 8:11and have to be self-sufficient for 90
- 8:14days. That means no help is coming.
- 8:22So, here's my read on this and take it
- 8:24for what it's worth.
- 8:26But, I will tell you I feel compelled to
- 8:29tell you these things.
- 8:34People who are running the West
- 8:37know
- 8:39things are breaking down.
- 8:41They see the same numbers we do.
- 8:44We see economies that have stopped
- 8:46growing all over Europe.
- 8:48They have sabotaged their own
- 8:50refineries. They have sabotaged their
- 8:52own ability to make electricity.
- 8:55They have not paid for their own
- 8:57military. They have societies that are
- 9:00unwilling or unable to fight for itself.
- 9:05You have a Europe with absolutely no
- 9:07plan to grow again.
- 9:10It has all been managed decline.
- 9:13You open the borders to millions of
- 9:15people
- 9:17without asking the people who already
- 9:19live there and then without asking those
- 9:21millions of people who the hell are you?
- 9:25They also have no will to ask newcomers
- 9:29to embrace the culture that took them
- 9:30in.
- 9:32And so, what do you have? You have
- 9:34Islamist organizing in the open telling
- 9:37you what they're going to do.
- 9:40You have Marxist and common communists
- 9:42now no longer bothering to hide what
- 9:45they want or who they are. They are
- 9:47telling you that they are going to
- 9:51overthrow the West and the United States
- 9:54of America. You can dismiss these
- 9:56things. You know,
- 9:57somebody asked me
- 9:58Glenn, you know, cuz I I said there will
- 10:02be buildings and bodies in the streets
- 10:04of New York within the next 10 years. I
- 10:06said that on WABC in 1999.
- 10:11I said there will be blood and bodies
- 10:13and buildings in this city on these
- 10:16streets and it will have Osama bin
- 10:18Laden's name on it.
- 10:21I have warned you about things that have
- 10:23come true. I have warned you about
- 10:25things that haven't come true and I hope
- 10:26this is one of those that don't come
- 10:28true.
- 10:29But here's how I know.
- 10:32Here's how I know you should prepare.
- 10:35How did you get that right about Osama
- 10:36bin Laden? I read what he said.
- 10:40And like a normal human being, when
- 10:42someone says they're going to kill you,
- 10:46they're going to take your family,
- 10:49they're going to destroy your culture,
- 10:51believe them. You're an idiot if you
- 10:54don't. They may not mean it. They may
- 10:57not have the ability, but if you don't
- 11:00take them at their word,
- 11:03you are suicidal.
- 11:06That's what I was saying in 1999. My
- 11:10whole monologue was about take this guy
- 11:12seriously.
- 11:16So Europe is now just trying they're
- 11:19trying to figure out they're realizing,
- 11:21oh crap, we are not going to be able to
- 11:24control this decline. It could blow up
- 11:27in our face. And so now they're telling
- 11:29their people shore up whatever you can.
- 11:33Now none of them are going to tell you
- 11:35why they're saying that.
- 11:38Because the the explanation ends in a
- 11:41confession.
- 11:44We've warned you for your own people
- 11:46have warned you for years. You called
- 11:49them bigots. You kept going.
- 11:52No one in Brussels or London is going to
- 11:54give the speech that says, boy, were we
- 11:56wrong. We should have listened to the
- 11:57people. So instead, you get a pamphlet
- 12:00about bottled water.
- 12:03Is it too late for Europe? I don't know.
- 12:06I pray it isn't.
- 12:10But I'll say what they won't.
- 12:16And I hope and pray I'm wrong.
- 12:20But massive war is coming.
- 12:24I want you to do an experiment. I want
- 12:25you to pick a controversial story and in
- 12:27the news like AI data centers and try
- 12:30searching what's AI's impact on energy
- 12:33and China's position. Look what comes
- 12:35back. Then go to Free Spoke and search
- 12:38for the exact same thing. I guarantee
- 12:40you're going to see a different picture.
- 12:41These are important topics for our
- 12:43nation and you need a full
- 12:44understanding. If you're wondering, why
- 12:47do I keep saying the same stories from
- 12:49the same sources over and over again?
- 12:50Who decided this is what I'm supposed to
- 12:52see? That's the problem with algorithms.
- 12:55Once somebody else is ranking the
- 12:56information for you, that someone has a
- 12:58thumb on your scale. I started using
- 13:01Free Spoke for a couple of reasons. They
- 13:03don't track me, they give me news from
- 13:05across viewpoints and they let me decide
- 13:08what matters. When I think Google's
- 13:09hiding it, Free Spoke always finds it.
- 13:11So don't take my word for it. Run the
- 13:13experiment yourself. Search the same
- 13:15story on Google and then Free Spoke side
- 13:17by side, see the difference. Then go to
- 13:19your app store, download Free Spoke and
- 13:22start seeing what you've been missing.
- 13:24Now it may not be tank crossing a border
- 13:27on a Tuesday morning like we normally
- 13:29think about it, though no one in Poland
- 13:31or the Baltics are ruling that out.
- 13:34More likely it is the kind of war
- 13:36already begun but
- 13:40enough to cause massive disruption.
- 13:44Vans outside of airbases, synagogues
- 13:46firebombed, power grids, water systems
- 13:49probed and bombed or destroyed,
- 13:51neighborhoods
- 13:53that are in trouble, in crisis with
- 13:56people on the street and the state no
- 13:57longer fully controlling it.
- 14:02America is not immune.
- 14:05And damn it, we are going into this
- 14:07election and how many Americans are
- 14:09blind, how many Americans will hear this
- 14:11warning and write it off.
- 14:15>> Please don't.
- 14:19I beg you, please don't write this off.
- 14:23The radicals are already inside our
- 14:25house. They're all over the West.
- 14:28And that includes here, and in 6 days we
- 14:31vote. Our vote is not going to stop this
- 14:35from happening, but it may slow it down.
- 14:40And I warn you, if that this election
- 14:42goes poorly, this is not about scaring
- 14:45you into voting.
- 14:47This is about telling you the truth.
- 14:49Don't expect a gentle correction. Expect
- 14:53the radicals who have already told you
- 14:56what they want to abolish the Senate,
- 14:59abolish ICE, erase the border, to treat
- 15:02the gavel as permission.
- 15:05That's what they're telling you. Take
- 15:07them at their word,
- 15:10or you're suicidal.
- 15:13Because by January, we could look less
- 15:15like America and more like Brazil or
- 15:18France.
- 15:20A country where one judge can switch off
- 15:22a social network for an entire nation.
- 15:26Do you know they just asked for the
- 15:27switch to the network? They said prepare
- 15:30for us to shut down all social media in
- 15:34Europe. They just made that announcement
- 15:36last week.
- 15:43I do not like giving you these warnings.
- 15:49Prepare for impact.
- 15:51Do not panic. Do not change your life
- 15:54Make plans for Christmas. Go visit your
- 15:57relatives on Christmas and Thanksgiving.
- 15:59When a pilot says brace for impact, he's
- 16:02not screaming. He's calm because he
- 16:05knows what's going to happen next, and
- 16:07he wants you to know it, too, so you are
- 16:10not freaking out. Start with simple
- 16:13things. If they say 3 days, do 2 weeks.
- 16:18Just brace for impact. If that video
- 16:22made you think
- 16:23wait a minute, there has to be more to
- 16:24this story. Good. Yes, there usually is.
- 16:27Subscribe to this channel and we'll go
- 16:28down the rabbit hole together. And trust
- 16:30me, we're nowhere near the bottom.
