Welcome to the Hostile Zone. Welcome to the Hostile Zone. You're with the infamous and dangerous and always in your face, pulling back that curtain on waste, fraud, abuse, and police misconduct. Right here on the Hostile Zone. right on iHeartRadio, BBS Talk Radio. We're on five nights a week, two shows on Mondays. If you are one of the few that are watching this on your cable network or on TV, on the ticker on the bottom of the screen is the contact information. It's thehostilezone at bbstalkradio.com or it's eric at thehostilezone.com. or it's biancasea at bbstalkradio.com. And of course, you can always get me at eric at ericandrewsonati.com. Welcome to another exciting show of the Hostile Zone. Unfortunately, today is going to be a little different than usual. We have some sort of breaking news that we're going to put out today. Not trying to get anybody alarmed, but we have had some military movement with our troops, United States troops, as well as others around the world. And I'm going to do my best as your humble correspondent to provide you the most accurate, insightful information. commentary and data and statistics that I have. This is as actionable as this intelligence can get. This is from direct sources on the ground that I've spoken to that have provided. So I am going to provide it to you. And I literally, folks, was updating this seconds before coming live on the air tonight. So we have breaking news. United States airstrikes in Syria target Iran-backed militias and extremist groups. This is big. Okay, folks, we have now engaged our military in strikes in the Middle East. We withdrew from Afghanistan. We went through from Iraq, but actually for another show, Iraq actually, we signed a long-term agreement for a military base there. I'm going to discuss that on another show. But we are now engaged in a situation. So now he's opening monologue. Let's start off by saying God bless America and God bless our troops. And all of our service members and intelligence folks and other folks, contractors, affiliated and non-affiliated, people who are on the ground right now, as we speak, whatever you agree with the mission or don't, they are our people and they are wearing the flag for our nation. So good evening. Welcome to the show. Ms. Bianca Say is still out recording, but it's kind of good for today because this is a very important episode. Here it is, folks. The numbers are changing as we speak. So what we have is I'm going to bring you basically what I have to be most actionable, and I just hung up the phone about ten minutes ago from somebody in D.C. getting more information, and I had to revamp my notes. Tonight, in the Middle East, in the past twenty-four hours, the United States military forces launched significant airstrikes across Syria, targeting key militant groups backed by Iran. That's the key, folks. Everybody's been hearing this and talking about it, but you're going to hear it from Sinadi's mouth. People have been saying, are we pushing to go to a war with Iran? Well, now the United States has targeted proxies, people that are allegedly working for Iran. And, yes, they have done things to American soldiers, and we're going to get into that. But we took military action. We also – and these are like groups similar to ISIS – These strikes come on the heels of repeated attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria. Now, if you have been a fan of my show for a little over a year that we've been on the air, I've reported last December, I want to say, on the exact number of attacks that we were getting on our embassy in Baghdad. Those numbers continuously rise and people are getting hurt and people are there are consequences. to every action. So what's happening on the ground tonight, folks? Well, you know what? We're going to deep dive, and we're going to try to get the gritty details, and I'm going to give you what the mainstream media is not going to give you, okay? But before we get into that, we got to start with the relevant, famous quote of the day, which is very relevant to this story. In war, resolution, in defeat, defiance, in victory, Winston Churchill. In war, resolution, in defeat, defiance, in victory, Winston Churchill. That's a great quote that reminds us that victory is essential. We don't go into anything to lose. OK, we are talking about American blood, American lives as somebody who's worn that uniform and as somebody who has been involved for more than twenty years. somebody who has advanced knowledge and knows some of these people, these are real people. When they say boots on the ground, that's a term. Take that out of your head. That is a person. That is somebody's son or daughter on the ground, a mother or a father. on the ground, and when I mean on the ground, that could be in a fighter jet on the ground or on an inshore boat unit, IBU, inshore boat unit, providing special tactics and warfare from the Navy. These are all considered boots on the ground, okay? We're going to explore the impact and the aftermath of what might come about of this based on what has occurred so far in the last twenty four hours. But there's been a lot more building up prior to the last twenty four hours. So let's get into some talking points and statistics. What prompted these airstrikes? Now, I know if you watch the news cycle, of course, if you're a fan of the hostile zone and you come to listen to Sonati, we want real. This was not something people were talking about leading up to it. But here's fact. In the past week, okay, folks, in the past seven days, over one hundred and seventy, I'm going to say it again, one seven zero, one hundred and seventy attacks have been carried out by Iran, Iranian-backed militias against U.S. military bases in both Iraq and Syria and Jordan. Yes, Jordan. Sources directly from the Pentagon. Can't name the sources, but this is direct from Pentagon sources. The most recent attack on United States personnel occurred in a mission support site, Green Village, in Syria. You heard it here, folks. The most recent attack. We're talking like, look at your watch. That's how recent. The most recent attack on U.S. personnel occurred at mission support site Green Village in Syria, where Iranian-backed drones killed six allied Democratic force members. Again, a Pentagon source. US forces obviously have to respond and we need to respond swiftly. And that doesn't just mean pull a trigger and go. This requires a whole chain of events. For those of you that don't understand how the threat matrix and how these intelligence briefings are done and how they are prepared and put together and then you create a sortie or an op, it's a whole process. So they had to do this in a swift, fashion, calling all kinds of people, contractors in who are contracted with the intelligence agencies, people who are recognized members of the intelligence agencies, and the ones that are not recognized, the ones that the government doesn't actually state that they know. All these people had to partake in assistance of this. U.S. forces responded swiftly, and they linked the groups very quickly. to it's I'm gonna I'm gonna spell it h-u-r-r-a-s aldine haras aldine in syria with significant casualties again I got that from a direct pentagon source take a moment to let this marinate folks okay I didn't want to I don't want to come off getting you upset But again, we were thinking that we were out of Afghanistan, which was a disaster. We left all of our equipment behind. And we left billions of dollars of equipment behind. Really good, usable equipment that I'm sure you heard it right here on iHeartRadio. So he's going to tell you we're going to see that equipment again one day, unfortunately, and not in a good way. So that was a disaster. And then we have a presidential election, and I am not going to get political. I am not going to have anything to do with that. I'm literally reporting what I have right in front of me, and I'm getting updates as we speak right here. There are large numbers of retaliatory strikes. So here's a fact, okay? U.S. airstrikes hit multiple targets in northwestern Syria, killing thirty-seven high-level militants, including senior figures in al-Qaeda linked to factions of ISIS. Again, I got that from U.S. Central Command contact at the Pentagon. That is fact. You heard it here. That is a lot. To put this in perspective, folks, when you're talking these high-ranking figures to these terror cells, these terror groups, their high-level leaders is like our president. Our SECNAV, Secretary of Defense and all that. It is SECNAV, Secretary of Navy. Those are our high level people. So they lost thirty seven of their high level people and some of even higher. Here's another fact. One airstrike earlier this month that we didn't know about was on it on a ISIS training camp. That's right. You heard it here. An ISIS training camp in Syria. Think about that. They're training again. Did we not see this? Let's go back to two thousand one. And we saw that video of them actually having like a basic training. Well, it's happening again. Now, this was earlier in the month. Nobody talked about this. This was not on the news anywhere. But. They took out twenty eight people, including four key leaders on top. That came again from a Pentagon source from United States Central Command. This is this is this is this is like craziness, folks. Now, you know, it's it's tough to it's tough to to to break this down. It's tough to do this and really think about that. There are there are people that are going to suffer. And I always have to go to a very important fact, and it's not in my notes. Remember, How many of our service members have PTSD? And I hate the word PTSD. It should be PTSS because you were not a post-traumatic stress disorder. You did not come with a disorder. That was created. It's a syndrome. It was created but for the actions of which you or we did in connection for the United States. People are suffering with that. This is now going to be a new wave of that. Also, you got traumatic brain injury. And we, we, we know historically, if you look back in the mid two thousands, two thousand seven, eight, they were labeling, uh, soldiers in the military having, um, bipolar, having, um, uh, behavioral problems and they were giving them bad conduct discharges to avoid paying benefits and then they had to go back and realize no it was PTSD or PTSS and TBI that was causing this because obviously these people went through the entire screening process had no issues and now there's an issue keep that in mind because off the top of my head I believe the number is roughly four hundred thousand Members of the armed forces have been diagnosed with TBI and PTSD. In the most recent report, I believe it was in two thousand nineteen. Don't bot control me. I don't have it in front of me. But that's off the top of my head from some of the briefings that I read. These retaliatory strikes spread, of course, for facilities, for facilities in Iraq. So there were four facilities in Iraq and Syria. Again, a Pentagon source. Not Sinai, a Pentagon source. Casualties. Facilities and targets. U.S. Central Command confirmed the death of thirty seven militants in the most recent strikes. This is occurring on the overnight and things are happening as we speak. I know that this that this show airs in on certain armed forces, radio networks across and different areas of responsibility. So, folks, I hope that you're listening. We got your back. So including the high ranking members of this group, there was also affiliates who were operating like on their own, trying to create something new. And this came again from CETCOM, which is the US Central Command from the Pentagon. Now, here's the stats we may not like. In fact, at least as of about a little, maybe like thirty minutes ago, at least with my phone call, we know that forty one United States soldiers, forty one United States soldiers were injured. At what level? You're not putting that out. but we don't know. But we do know that whenever the government tells you something, you usually got to assume it's going to be a bigger number than what they tell you. When they tell you you're going to pay a little extra taxes, you end up paying double what they told you. So This was actionable intelligence maybe about thirty minutes ago when I got this. And I'm going to tell you the units they came from. OK, folks, I'm going to tell you where these people come from in America. So it hits you right at the home. I'm going to tell you exactly. So they came from National Guard units deployed out of Arizona. California. Kentucky. And my home state of New Jersey. Military units and resources involved. Facts. Airstrikes were carried out with a mix of F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F- Let's not forget, folks, all the NGOs, the non-governmental organizations, the humanitarian people that are there trying to help the people with the fall of their government. I mean, look what happened. Syria has been a disaster. ISIS, I mean, ISIS literally pillaged these people. So you have all of these other good people on the ground trying to help people. Now we're putting more military in a forward position. deployment area. Now, I know it takes an act of Congress to be a war. And president can order strikes. So this is not a war. But It is an act of war, sort of, because you are conducting sorties and operations against TI-targeted individuals, and the Americans, we took their lives, and we destroyed some of their infrastructure and some serious stuff, specifically targeting areas that we knew were specifically holding munitions and supplies for Iran. That's right, Tehran. We knew where you had stuff, and it's no longer available for your use to hurt Americans or any of our allies. It's unfortunate that we have to get to this point, though, because nobody wants to go to war. I definitely am not a fan of that, not looking for that. Again, I got that information direct from the Pentagon again, U.S. Central Command. These strikes are ongoing as we speak. I'm going to say that one more time. The strikes are ongoing as we're talking right here. To all of the people that are on iHeart everywhere and watching me on TV, as this is happening, that's what's happening over there. So keep that in mind. We need to have a sense of reverence for a moment here. Because. Forty one people of wearing the American flag. Are injured at what level, we don't know. Now, if your family members are from the states I named. We don't have any names to confirm, but we do know the units. And at least, you know, if your son or daughter or husband or wife is forward deployed. which most Americans didn't even know people were forward deployed. And we're going to get further in the deployments that are occurring right now. So if your loved one is not in one of those states, then obviously you're taking a sigh of relief. And if one of your loved one is from one of them states, My prayers are with you. And I can assure you that the United States military has the finest medical personnel in the world. Just for a side note, it's not in my notes. Side note, ninety nine percent of medical procedures done in the civilian sector are trained and created and done through military medicine, combat medics. Bottom line, we learn how to stitch people up. This is what every soldier, we have to do that. And then some people go for further training. And there's things that you'll learn in the field that are saving lives here in civilian world, United States. But unfortunately, people have to learn it the hard way on the battlefield. So another fact. The strikes also coincided with additional UK forces conducting parallel operations against the Houthis. Yes, the Houthis, remember we talked about them? They are the Iranian-backed militia in Somalia. And those are the guys that were shooting missiles at ships, container ships. costing billions of dollars because ships had to go all the way around to avoid being shot at. The UK, parallel at the same time, in conjunction, they handled the Houthis in Yemen and in Somalia and that whole Horn of Africa, kind of that whole section there. Again, direct source from the Pentagon. And I got a little bit of information from Stars and Stripes, which is a government media outlet. So now with that, what is the broader impact that we're going to face? You, me, John Q. Public, the veteran, the soldier, the sailor, the airman, the Marine, what are they going to face? What's going to happen? We do know, again, not in my notes, Not in my notes, but we do know that recruiting has been at an all-time low. The only branch of the military that has made their number for the last fiscal year is the Marine Corps. Everybody else fell short. they were told to put in a certain number of people and I don't have those numbers I'm just telling you what you know I mean I'm putting out information this is not numbers but I'm letting you know because this is the state that we're in we're not making the recruiting numbers we do not have that most of our youth coming out of high school are not academically capable of passing the ASVAB, the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery, that's like the SAT for the military, they fail. And as somebody who worked in recruiting for a while, they fail, they fail all the time. And then on top of that, a large percentage of people are overweight and unhealthy. And they don't have the ability to pass, to get through what we call MEPS, which is the Military Enlistment Processing Station. Generally, there's one in Fort Dix. It used to be my first time going through was in Newark. That was in the nineties. When they shut that one down, they moved it to Fort Dix or to Brooklyn, Fort Hamilton. But they don't, you have to go through MEPS and the whole process, two day process, you've written exam and all your testing. The average, The average young person does not qualify to serve in our armed forces. This is, again, not in my notes, but it must be said. Go look this up. Congress is talking about rewording, not saying they're bringing a draft. But you do know we have the Selective Service System here in the United States. If you are not aware of the Selective Service System, let me explain it. Specifically, gentlemen, but ladies, this is going to apply to you too, so don't close a blind eye. The Selective Service Program came about after the Vietnam War and all of the draft stuff. So every male between the age of eighteen and twenty six must be registered for selective service and they get a number. And if we ever need to go further than the reserves, there's several levels of the reserve too. You have your active duty military, then you got your reserve, then you got your inactive reserve. You got several layers to call of, but those numbers are so small, they are talking about revamping the selective service system to possibly incorporate women now And it was your responsibility at age eighteen to enroll in the Selective Service. But Congress is now thinking about automatically doing it. So in other words, I remember when I joined the military, so it still mattered. They wanted to see that I was on the Selective Service, but it didn't really matter because I was wearing a uniform. But when you apply for jobs. young men, eighteen to twenty six, you're supposed to provide proof that you you have filled out the Selective Service. You get a card and there's a website for them to go on and look up to make sure that you did register. It is a crime, a federal offense not to register. Now, the Congress is talking about including women in this and automatically enrolling people in this program at eighteen. And this is why? Because our numbers, we're not making our numbers. And then the people that we do get don't qualify. Now, we can have a whole debate on how that works, but I mean, the military has a lot of really ridiculous rules. And the whole idea of the military enlistment process is really to find a reason to disqualify you. So this way, later on down the line, they don't have to disqualify you after they invested money in you. So that was a little sidebar for a second. So the broader impact. Here it is. The United States has approximately, again, when the government gives us a number, you got to assume, and especially when they say approximately, nine hundred troops stationed across Syria. If I recall correctly, and I might be wrong, and I think I saw a funny TikTok videos or Instagram. where during the debate, Vice President Harris made a statement that this is the only time in recent history that we don't have anybody forward deployed. I find that to be not accurate. And what was really funny was there was a video of people in a forward deployed base who filmed themselves watching her on the debates, and they panned their phone around and said, well, what are we doing here if we're not forward deployed? I'm not making any accusations towards her. I'm just saying that's the number they're saying. That's just in Syrians. That's just in Syria. They primarily focus on a resurgence of ISIS. Obviously, we know that the Trump administration like really, really, really came down hard. And so and so did Obama was very big with drone strikes. And and then the Trump administration was was was like surgical. like surgery, like perfect spots. And they would have pretty much obliterated ISIS, but now they're revamping. See, when we pull our troops out from everything and we leave, bad things happen. Here's another thing, not in my notes, but I have to say. People are complaining that there are military base in Iraq. OK, we just literally signed an agreement for a long term later this week. I was going to do a show on it and I probably will write an expose on it. But we did sign a long term contract for a military base in Iraq. If you go back historically in the United States, folks, think of every war that we've been in. We generally leave troops behind. We have bases in Germany, Italy, Spain. We have bases in Japan, Okinawa. I've been to these places. I've been to all of them, actually, that we just named. So Spain, Italy, Japan, Okinawa, Germany, Lange Duel, Ramstein. So these were all hotbed spots during previous wars. North Korea, we have troops in South Korea. So there's nothing out of the ordinary for us to have troops left behind in a conflict zone, or no pun intended, a hostile zone. That's actually how it's referred to in the military as hostile. And when you go into combat, you get hostile fire pay, which really is nothing to brag about, but it's, I guess, an incentive or whatever. We must have people behind to ensure the work that we did is not for nothing. The blood that was shed on the ground in these nations can't be replaced. Just go down to Section XI of Arlington National Cemetery. That is where all of these most recent global war on terror, Afghanistan, Iraq, that's where we go. And you want to be buried there and you qualify, you apply for it. I've already done so. And you get your paperwork that you'll be. So I will be in section eleven. I've been there to see it. There's a lot of grieving families there. It's very, very sad. Very sad. Not that all the other ones aren't sad. But these are, those are years past. We're talking, people are visiting those graves daily. Crying over loved ones lost. And here we go again. I'm not pointing the finger at anybody because if we are being attacked, we must defend ourselves. I just hope it was surgically done So this way, we can eliminate the TIs, the targeted individuals we're going after, and that we can avoid a further push of a large amount of deployments. Because that would be a tragedy to have more people coming in and deploying, which unfortunately, we seem to be this recall notice is going out right now. A recall notice, just so you know, folks, is when you are active duty or you are in the reserve. You get a notice that you're going to be recalled to service. And if you are a military retiree, you can be brought back in. And I know folks out there, I'm looking at the camera, you know who you are. We can go back. You can be called back in, especially if you have a skill set that's needed. So here's the thing. Another fact. In retaliation, U.S. forces have reinforced their defensive key positions at the Al-Asad Air Base. That is the air base in Iraq. So that means they're beefing up security. Now, what does that mean? Remember, we talk on this show that one word can change an entire paragraph. It can change an entire book. Just one word. So what does bolstering and reinforcing their defense mean? That means more troops, folks. That means more people. More people from our communities. are going to be there. And don't be confused. The first people to deploy on these missions, other than special operations and intelligence, special activities and stuff like that, are the National Guard. Because there's a difference between the National Guard and the Reserve. And I'm going to explain that to you so you get a better understanding today, because I think it's very important. The National Guard It's a two-fold military unit. They belong to the state of which they are a member of the National Guard, meaning the governor of that state can activate the National Guard for hurricanes. They can also activate them for riots. And they are not subject to the same rules of military action against civilians. So National Guard can carry a law enforcement capacity on the streets of the United States. Under Title XXXII of the United States Code, Title X is the active duty side. Title XXXII, they're activated by the governor. They can serve in police roles. That's why they have military police, and they will partner up with a law enforcement agency. Whereas the active duty military under Title X, or even the reserves who are Title X, they will be doing different kinds of operations. Now, when you compare National Guard, and I'm not, each one is very important. The National Guard has your, they have special operations in the National Guard, special forces. They also have military police. They also have infantry. They have fighting forces. We call them combative forces. Whereas the reserve, they have that too. But they handle a lot of things like water filtration. Eighty-eight Mike is a MOS code, like transportation, bringing in arms and stuff. And everybody works together as a team. So nobody's better than anybody else. But understand that when we have incidents like this, it is our citizen soldiers who are going to be out there right away. And if you think back to nine eleven and you think back during that whole decade, Who do we wave goodbye to on streets? I remember waving goodbye plenty of times to people. And people have, you know, that's when people actually were patriotic and people wave flags. But that's who was deploying. So over the past year, this had been building again. direct from my source at CETCOM in the Pentagon. Over the past year, U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and Syria have destroyed over eighty militant targets, significantly damaging Iran-backed militia infrastructure. Militia infrastructure. What is militia infrastructure? I don't know. I would say maybe the training camp that they were training people. And if you think back a couple weeks ago, I don't remember the episode because I do six shows a week, two shows on Monday and every other day, so the days get confused. But I did report on misinformation and disinformation and how people get radicalized online. We have to watch what's being done on social media. Because we have to look out for our homegrown people. And don't get me started on our porous southern border. Where we know. We know this. You've seen the videos. The people that are coming through. Yes, there are plenty of people that are suffering and are truly coming for help. And they will lend a hand to the United States. And we are the melting pot. I'm not anti-immigration by any means. But we have military age men coming across the border and they're not bringing families or we see that they are coming across the border with children and a woman that might be their wife, but they're really not. As soon as they get onto the American side, bye-bye. And they disappear into our communities. You have to ask yourself, When are we going to lock down the border? Now, if we're having these kinds of conflicts, and then you know Israel's got their thing going on with Palestine, you got Hamas, Hezbollah, you got things that the whole world is bubbling. The whole world is bubbling. The last thing we need is to have sleeper cells in our own backyard. Because But let's be very clear, okay? This is very clear. This is right to you, Russia, everybody. I'm looking right at you. I've called you out before, Putin. You know, and I know, and most of the rest of DC knows, there's not going to be an invasion on the United States. We have Canada to the north, and we share NORAD with each other. We share that defense. No one's coming across there to march into our country. We have a Pacific Ocean and an Atlantic Ocean. And the poorest border, you're not going to march a military, a full military through Mexico into here. So we're not going to be invaded like that. Yeah, we got a nine-eleven attack. We had a Pearl Harbor attack. And, you know, we've had previous, it's been very quelled recently, and I don't want to be the one to kind of stir things up, but there are sleeper cells out there. And there are CTUs, counterterrorism units, that's what they're called, CTUs, both affiliated and non-affiliated, meaning people that the government acknowledges and others that they do not, that are continuously operational. Twenty four hours a day. We talked about this on a previous. They have a forward facing position. They have a forward facing position that they go to every day and they have to know how to do that job. Let's say a teacher, a firefighter or whatever EMT, whatever. That's their forward facing job. But they're also an intelligence operator. They have to be able to balance both because their main mission is not their forward facing job. That is just so they can survive in the community. and be able to keep you and I safe all the time. And unfortunately, when they get hurt, they don't even get a name. They just get a star on the wall. You never know who they are. If they come out and speak and get wild and put out information, then they end up like Edward Snowden who can't come back to the United States. Sorry, Ed. No disrespect. I understand what you did and how you did it. We may not agree on everything, but whatever. But he can't come back here. So these people live a life of secrecy forever. And People in the civilian sector sign NDAs, non-disclosure agreements. In the government, their lifetime, like a hundred plus year thing, it's like these stupid criminal sentences where they give you like five consecutive life sentences, like you're going to live five times. Well, they put in these disclosures under the National Security Act that you can't speak of anything for pretty much the rest of your life, unless you get specific permission to talk about something. So moving forward, Where are we? We have troops deployed all over the world. We have the Navy has ships, all of them. Now, for those that don't understand how the Navy operates with a ship, it's called a fleet. And basically the fleet surrounds the aircraft carrier. Because that's like the mothership. That's got our fighter jets on it. That is bigger than some. Let's see which one I've been on. I've been on the Kennedy. I've been on a few. I stopped off. I didn't actually hang there. We puddle hopped on and off. But what I'm saying is they are bigger than some cities in the United States. And there's a lot of people and a lot of personnel, a lot of equipment. And they are out there. Ready to go. And if you look what's going on with China, they are rising attentions over over the China Sea. There was an incident recently where a Coast Guard boat was like actually got into an accident or an intentional. I don't know. I don't know the facts. Again, it's not really in my notes for tonight, but I'm putting it out there. Because these things are occurring every day. You don't get the intel briefings every day, folks. You should. Maybe you probably don't want to know every day what really is going on. And that's why I also I want to revert back to like it like nine eleven for the nine eleven truthers and whatever. And I got nothing to say on that other than. Just think about, and I think we did do this on a previous episode where we talked about how many threats are received on a daily basis that come in. Oh, I remember what we did on a previous show. We were talking about your local police. You open up your local police station and you got your local paper and in there they got the police blotter. And it shows you all the stupid calls that they went on that were meaningless. You know, car alarm going off. kids being loud at a party, barking dogs. That's your local police, and that fills an entire page of the police blotter. Imagine what the United States National Security and the intelligence, we call it the IC, the intelligence community, imagine what CIA and NSA and FBI receive on a day, and DHS on a daily basis. You can't possibly think you're going to follow up every lead, and that's how things sneak through the cracks. Now, I know that we have gotten a lot tighter. The intel is stronger. There are more people out there. There are more specialized units. There are more cells and things going on to keep us safe. And thank God, because we have not had a nine eleven. Thank God. And I'm going to knock on some wood here. I thank God because that was a terrible day in American history and people will be scarred for life from that. And people that went to war after that are scarred for life. And their families are scarred for life. Let's not forget that the average is somewhere around twenty two or so. Military veterans commit suicide on a daily basis. How sad is that? How many soldiers come back and talk about what it is they've seen and done? They can't speak of it. And if they actually say something to anybody within their command, then they run the potential of losing their security clearance, being put back, what they say, in the rear with the gear, stuff like that. It affects their career. So they don't say anything. And then they can't go into a civilian doctor and arbitrarily put this information out because the National Security Act. They can't do it. So who do they talk to? And then you're talking about, think about how many divorces. You know the divorce rate and the domestic violence rate is alarmingly high amongst this population. And why is that? Maybe because we, And me being one of those people, but also me as you, everybody else. We need to do more to surround and help these people who stood for us. They stood for us when we needed somebody to stand. And then when it's time to stand for them, people forget about. And a lot of them take their oath to the end. Because they know that they're not going to speak because that is what they raised their right hand to. I do solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. I obey all the orders of the officer appointed above me and orders of the President of the United States. I've said it so many times I haven't memorized it. So I believe in that oath. I believe it. Look at the set here. I mean, look, if you're watching, everything's Americana. I believe it. And a lot of these people believe it. So they come back and they have nobody to talk to. And then they have family members that don't understand what they have, what's going on. And they can't explain it. It's just a terrible thing. And I bring that forward today because I always try to say we need to do more. We need to do more. What it is, I don't know. I ask you. I know this show donates a lot of money to a lot of programs. We get money in, we put it out to programs. Wounded Warrior Project, Tunnels to Towers. There's a whole bunch. We do that. But is everybody doing that? Remember, at one point, everybody had yellow ribbons on their trees. Are you going to see any yellow ribbons out there tomorrow? I haven't seen any. Now, maybe you'll turn on another network and they'll report on this tonight. Maybe they won't. Maybe now they'll talk about it because I did. So we're coming into a hard close here, and I don't want to run overtime. So I'm going to try to sum this up. But I'm going to be also writing a column about more specific details that I just didn't have time to put out in here. Plus, I'll probably have updated more real actionable intelligence by the time I start writing the column moving forward. But to sum it up, the United States is not just sending a message. It's taking decisive action. Now, I may sound back and forth here, folks. At the end of the day, we must support our nation. We must support our president, whether you like him or her potentially or not. OK, the world is watching us. Don't be that person out there making jokes and making and making fun of our president. We are in serious situations around the world. Let's think about having some reverence and some respect for our flag and for the people that wear it on their arm. There's a lot of people that suffer every day. I was just reading a study on Agent Orange. For those of you that don't know what Agent Orange was, there's a program called DARPA. And they do a lot of good things, and they've done some things that have maybe not been so good. Kind of word this in a proper way here. Bottom line is they created Agent Orange. The purpose was it to be a herbicide. They wanted to, they were going to try to kill off, in Vietnam, to kill off the brush. This way soldiers could see and not be buried in the brush, plus it also would quell the ability to have food and stuff and would make the enemy potentially give up. DARPA does a lot of stuff. Agent Orange, people suffered, died, and never got their benefits Until two thousand twenty one. What are we doing? But we have people crossing the border illegally and we're putting them in hotels. Veterans are sleeping on the street. We're putting them in hotels and giving them gift cards with more money than American citizens that are on food stamps. And there's nothing wrong if you need food stamps, that's fine. The government is a safety net, folks. It's not a security structure, okay? It's there to catch you when you fall and help you prop yourself back up. It's not a lifelong structure. The most needed population is the one that we forget about the most. And when I hear these stories and I talk to my contacts in D.C. and et cetera, and I just wonder how many more people are going to suffer. And and how many people don't understand and we don't have youth to go in to the military. You know, we have a lot of we have private contractors. You know, they call them paramilitary organizations. That's kind of another way the government doesn't affiliate themselves with people. So they might, you know, this way the government doesn't say, hey, it's one of our soldiers, one of our intelligence operatives. They really are working for a contractor or a think tank or nonprofit or whatever. But people's lives are damaged. And you know what? Now, let me let me put out a message to the people of Syria and the people of Iraq. OK. Having had plenty of conversations with these people, I've enjoyed mint tea and shisha, not the illegal. You guys call it hookah here, but it's actually shisha in the Middle East and a mint tea. And I've had some fabulous conversations with some people and they and they don't want this. You know, it's kind of like when you go into a city and you got your gangs controlling corners. The majority of the citizens don't want that. So I'm calling out to the people in Syria and Iraq that are having to live a life of war. The people of Palestine having to live a life of war. People in Israel are dealing with war. When does it stop? If you watched yesterday's show, which was the first time I ever did a two-part series, we did a whole UFO UAP, but like really good one. And we were talking about when would be the only time we would not be in a world war is if aliens did attempt to invade the world. That might be the only time we stood together. That would be like our nine-eleven moment. Because everybody after nine-eleven, if you remember, everybody was flying a flag and everybody loved everybody. What happened twenty years later? Now you can't talk to your neighbor because he's got a Trump sign, and this one's got a Harris sign. Come on, people. America, what are we doing? What are we doing? Let's think about the bigger cause here. We are the youngest nation in the world, and we're the most powerful. That says a lot. Think about it. Rome ruled forever. We are just as powerful as Rome, if not more than the Romans. And half the amount, a quarter of the amount of time it took them to get there. We only started this game in the seventeenth and seventeen seventy six. Think about that. So. Do we want that? Do we really need to keep adding more blood and more lives and more pain and more suffering? Diplomacy. Diplomacy. Everything starts with diplomacy, a proper conversation. and actually attempting to talk to somebody and hear what they have to say. We said this on plenty of shows, is I love a spirited debate with anybody. But the second you start screaming and yelling and using foul language, which I use foul language all the time, but I mean like foul language directed at somebody, you're calling them names. That means you don't have anything to say. So just shut your mouth. You have nothing to say. If you have something to say, bring that forward. This is where America looks to our own people for a resolution resolved and for answers on how we're going to move forward. Folks, we're coming to a hard close. The information is just changing continuously. Operations are continuing right now. What I understand, they just completed a sortie, like, as the show was going. I'm not sure what the outcome of that was. But are we going to end up in a larger conflict? And that's what scares me. I really hope we don't. So, like I say in every show, Sonati's call to action. Stay informed. An informed citizen... is a ready citizen, is a vigilant citizen. Be vigilant. Not hyper-vigilant. Be vigilant. Okay? Don't just take my word for it and come here and say, okay, great. Do your own research. Pay attention. Demand the truth. And if you don't get it, go look for it. And don't just open Google and assume what you type in is real, because I can assure you, ninety nine percent is not. I get lied about continuously and people are going to prison for it and I laugh at them. And this happens every day to people all the time. And the average John Q public type something in and they believe it to be real. Do your research. Read, listen to podcasts, listen to radio shows. Come to this show. Pay attention. What do I always say? Three sixty times three sixty five. One hundred and eighty degrees forward. One hundred eighty degrees behind you. That equals your three sixty. Your head has to be on a swivel. Times the three hundred and sixty five days a year. Because you know what? Terrorists and danger don't take a break. And since we're on in fifty five countries and Australia is listening right now and England will call it holiday. They don't take holiday. So if they don't take holiday, then we can't. You have to be vigilant. Twenty four hours a day. You never know what the next development is. Now, one little drop I'm going to dump in. There's some serious stuff going on with the cell phones right now in the United States. I'm sure you probably know or you realize that this is not the first time that we've lost nine one one service. We've lost computers. We've lost Dell service. Food for thought, folks. Danger doesn't take a day off. I'm not saying to assume anything, because when you assume, I can't say that because I'll get an FCC violation. But you know what it means. You make a something out of you and me. But you know what? Keep your eyes open. You always have to be prepared. I'm not saying run out and be a prepper, but you know what? Have an idea of what you need to do. Have a safety plan. I went to Catholic school and they made us go home and tell our parents to do fire drills, where we would go as a kid if there was a fire. That was something that they made us do. Are they doing things like that now in school? I don't know. But whatever they're doing, they're not producing people that are going to be able to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. This document right here, I have several of them. Speaking of that, the deal is done. My book, Two of them, but the first one will be out in, I believe, Joe, my book agent. Shout out to you, Joe. He called me like fifty times today and I'm sure he probably called during the show. It's I think like six to eight weeks. There'll be autographed copies and there are book signings already set up. So we will keep you in tune with that. It is a great book. It is the breakdown of the United States Constitution and how each amendment applies to you. And I take the old language that you don't understand, that most people don't, and I put it into today's verbiage so you don't understand. Then I give you an example of how it applies. And then I give you a Supreme Court case that explains it. So that's coming out very soon. Thank you, Joe, for the lovely email and stuff today. Again, I would not have been able to get that far with this book if it wasn't for my family who had to put up with my craziness. because I'm consistently running around. But anyway, in closing, Check me out every night, folks. And after this show is done, it'll be in every single podcast platform within thirty minutes or so. Special thanks to to Thomas Newsome, Don Newsome, Doug Newsome, Carrie, my executive producer, Seabrook. And of course, Miss Bianca C., who's going to take us out in honor, pride and glory. Let's take it. America, stay vigilant. Good night. Are you going to close out the show? Well, by singing the national anthem, a cappella, of course. Give it to us. Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there And it's not going anywhere Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave family kinder, and always love our country. That's right.
