Ryan Dawson it has electrolytes because it has electrolytes that's what makes it so great you need electrolytes they're what plants crave electrolytes they're incredible Israel

wanted war with Iran there was no nuclear threat there was only an Epstein threat

all right that was not AI okay the dance thing was techno viking to uh idiocracy and I feel like that's That's where we live. Larry Johnson on the show. Good to have you back. I don't know who's holding whatever gets you on this show, but welcome back.

Yeah. Good morning, Japan or Korea.

Yeah, Korea too. Yeah. Oh, it reminds me one second. I got a we got our calendar. So here's our maze A&C, babe. And kind of long quote here. Well, I'll do this after. I'll do this after because this is this is a mouthful.

I'm eager to talk to you.

It's good. We do this this day in history type of calendar except true. And then I put in the the Asian girls because it pissed us off white nationalists because I'm a race mixer. Whatever. Loving it every time. Trump is playing footsie with a straight of her moose. He's surrounded by idiots. We've seen I wanted to contrast that a little bit with someone like Reagan, who also seems to have had all timers and Trump's got something wrong with him. But he had a solid cabinet. He had like Casper Weinberger. He had a lot. He had a lot of like adults, whereas George Shultz. I mean, compare that to like Bolton and now Hank Seth. Hex that's the child. um oh yeah Reagan cabinet Baker and all these people they were they they were statesmen and I thought maybe I was just younger and so they seemed like very adult and with it because I was a kid and didn't know better and as I got older I'm like oh they're always stupid but I don't think so looking back at it even now and you lived through it you were working with in the as a spook in the 80s they were smarter they were better it's it's really we've fallen so far and tell me

tell me I'm wrong or right on that have we got idiocracy for real I was asked uh on uh on al-mayadeen tv the other day one of their correspondents was it produced a piece basically comparing uh Trump to Reagan and I said well yeah it's true Reagan did have Alzheimer's and you know he was starting to demonstrate those effects his last year or two in office and people I knew that personally had met with him and don't you know said it was noticeable but but I said you know the difference between Reagan and Trump is You know, people with mental disorders, some become very, you know, they're still very nice people. Ronald Reagan was a nice person. He wasn't a vicious, hateful guy. Trump is.

He's a good one-liners.

Yeah. But, you know, he made a point of being bipartisan. He was friendly with Tip O'Neill. They had a great relationship. um whereas Trump is like developing a record for how many people he hates and hates

him you know the alienation beyond hate it's like vicious public display of hatred he wrote a true social post about Thomas Massey and his late wife and then his new wife like he went out because someone disagreed with him on the budget and Israel he attacked a man whose wife had just passed away and just and just didn't care he turned on Marjorie Taylor Greene who was like a ride or die Trumper who's one I don't have a son or daughter one of her children had death threats and he's like that's your problem I mean that is vicious it shows the inner person I think oh

yeah absolutely you know and that's uh but the other part was uh Reagan at least as you said surrounded himself with competent people uh Trump has not Trump surrounds himself with sacrophants who are gonna you know kiss his ass tell you what a wonderful guy he is tell you how great he's doing and even that doesn't buy you security you know Trump will turn on you in a heartbeat And again, look, I attribute a lot of that, though, to what's going on in his prefrontal lobes, that deterioration. Because, you know, I have experienced that with other, I was very good friends with Walter Patrick Lang, Pat Lang. He had the blog, Six Semper Tyrannus. And as he, after he got the COVID vax, he changed.

I mean, his that slogan on it and a picture of Lincoln with a hole in his head. Oh, I got another one. It says six in for Tarantis and it's the tumor on John McCain.

No, no, just but just pointed out that Pat and his last year, man, he he was lopping off. People have been friends and he just, you know, became short tempered and lost reason. So, you know, I've seen that before. And there's a little bit of that in Trump.

I think a lot of his last few years to just be cursing at the walls. I saw him in the Senate in the heart building. and you know he's surrounded by his people but he was just like dropping f-bombs at nobody and i thought wow he this guy's nuts he's still in there oh man if he had

known who i was well and so you're watching trump with his iran policy and i you know i jokingly say i've got to put on a neck brace because all the whipping back and forth trying to follow it i just you know it's

like getting whiplash oh there's a lower loomer joke in there but i'm not going to say it oh oh my god well yeah i mean let's let's be bobbing up and down like tyson's speed bag all right okay

yeah but you know if if he was if he was able to sustain an erection with a face like that looking up at him good lord you know liquid viagra couldn't hold that up

yeah man i guess when you're chode that doesn't matter yeah God, she did say like, oh, my hands were cold and the president warned my hands. It was such a Zog whistle. No wonder his third wife doesn't want to stay in the same building, doesn't sleep with him. She was part of this crew. I've got Prince Andrew on my shirt today. We got a little hidden guy right here holding pizza. This is no longer for sale. They wouldn't let me. that whole company got canceled actually so I tripled down but this is the Epstein crew and Melania was introduced to Trump through pervert Polly and and Epstein and John Casablanca who along with uh and then later Jean-Louis Purnell were running their own pedophile ring before Epstein had even graduated high school so that wasn't something he created it was a pre-existing network that he stepped into with Maxwell's anyway I'm not gonna go on and on that but this is the Epstein thing but this is Epstein fury it seems like somebody has got trumped by the shorties because he's not listening to anybody rational and like you said with the whiplash got out a spot Just he's like, ah, it's open, close, open, close.

We're going to send a stories and actually Operation Freedoms on a pause. And then today he went in again. And then he went out again.

Yeah, actually, this is this has happened all week. It just hasn't. I learned it just hasn't been reported. So I talked to someone involved and they said, yeah, this is like happened yesterday and it happened the day before that happened the day before that. So, you know, these are more like symbolic exchanges, nothing really heated yet. But before we go on to that, I want to ask you, remember that Melania's friend of 25 years who came out and said she was going to spill all the beans? And then she just went radio side. Did they kill her? You know, because she's certainly not talking like what she promised to talk about.

More likely they bribed her to shut her mouth. but I came out with it anyway so you don't have to wait on her like she ain't the only source this stuff's well known the prop well it's not well known my I my circle it's well known but I'm not allowed on anything other than a nerf Twitter and Substack so it's it's hard it's hard for me to get on shows because people run around by my back and call me a holocaust and iron and tell my Jewish babies or whatever and it's Leo I don't know if you've seen like I've lost four hundred and forty thousand dollars from Stripe that's what they owe me I'll never see that money kicked off PayPal kicked off Patreon and I'm like why am I being targeted I'm not the size of Alex Jones I don't have millions of people and the reason is this because I I know this issue I got on it early and they don't want they want to shut me up and this is what happens so I would imagine step one before they Ryan Dawson Ryan Dawson Ryan the lawsuit against the banks and they did have to pay out hundreds of millions by the way Bank of America 72.5 million they have to pay that's in addition to the hundreds of millions from Deutsche Bank and Chase Morgan Morgan's and so JPMorgan Chase excuse me Jess Daly still being sued so is Stacey Plaskett we got the lawyers come in Darren Indyke and cost come in and con all in August how they delayed till then I don't know but that's what's going on but you can see it because the Adelsons and all they're the ones that are pushing Trump into this mess they're the ones that got him to tear up the JCPOA and it's a I don't know if hilarious is the right word like whatever the opposite of hilarious is like tragic but in a funny way he's trying to get what he already had he basically wants the Iran deal but he can't call it that he wants this straight open which was already open before you attacked him and he wants to deal with the uranium and that already like if he could just get back to how it was on February 27th it'd be fine yeah but then of course why did we need a JCPOA why were sanctions on Iran at all because of Israel Everything is because of Israel, including Israel.

They exaggerate the Hamas and Hezbollah linkages to so-called terrorism. These are groups that have a religious foundation, but they are fighting for their own land. They're what our ancestors in the American Revolution were doing against the Brits.

There were suicide bombers from Japan. We call them kamikaze. It wasn't from religion. It was because you're attacking them. And that happened. Suicide bombings didn't exist until after the Nakba. And as far as Hamas and Hezbollah, those organizations didn't exist until the 80s, 82 and 87. So they're reacting to Israel consistently attacking Palestinians and consistently attacking Lebanon. Hezbollah was formed as a reaction to Israel invading Lebanon. They always start the story in the middle and act like, oh, we're going in after these terrorist groups. Those groups didn't exist until after you had occupied ethnically cleansed and stolen land. Then they formed as resistance to your terrorism.

Right. Israel helped spin up the war starting in 1975 in Lebanon and then Hezbollah hit the scene in 1982 so let me give you a fun fact comparing 2000 to 2025 in 2000 the number one bank in the world was Deutsche Bank you know hence their power and guess which country had five banks in the top ten isn't real. Japan. Japan had the top five of the top banks, top ten. Now, the top ten, Deutsche Bank's gone. Mitsubishi Bank is the only one left of Japan the other four have fallen out China's got four they occupy the top four positions followed by Bank of America gee there's another one of those you know Epstein ties and and JPMorgan Chase so you know clearly you know Epstein and his affair it's not a coincidence that he was using the most the most pop you know some of the largest banks in the world

Well, he helped bribe regulators when they stole from the Malaysian Sovereign Wealth Fund, like Edmond de Rothschild Bank, and we have their communications out then begging Epstein to get them off. And he kind of did. They only end up paying 75 million. Now it'll say 25 million if you Google or AI it. But that's because that was installment one. It ends up being 75. But still, that's nothing like Goldman Sachs had to pay five billion. Okay, so contrast that to 25, 75 million. It does nothing. But it's like, why do you think Epstein can get you this deal? What kind of leverage could he possibly have? You know what he had. He was the untouchable. It was really his organization. He's a front man. I always compare him to John Gotti, but he always put the limelight on himself. The problem was he dipped in his own stash. He engaged in the kiddie fiddling himself and that was his downfall. Stupid too.

He has all these girls from modeling agencies and things. He's got human trafficking rings set in place. Wasn't enough. He had to go hunt locally and get them even younger. 14 year olds right out of high school. Very Robert Miller-esque.

What was his relationship with the United Arab Emirates?

he had a lot of shakes on his part of his clientele the thing is those guys already operate their own I'll call them prostitution rings because they'll say escorts whatever they'll have rape yachts but it's not actually illegal like they buy prostitutes and poop on them and do all kinds of crazy stuff on their little voyages but they pay them and it's all like hey you you know you took the money for this and that and they're very careful not to get underage at least openly but he had so much dirt on them but I I think the debauchery is not what was going on everyone assumes oh sexual blackmail like no they all did that before Epstein existed and they were gonna keep doing that and they they don't need him to teach them how to buy an escort it was more of the money laundering and it's not like they don't know how to launder money on their own either it's like well if you do it through epstein you're left alone because he has clinton he has that's what was special about epstein wasn't that oh he had some complex way of hiding the money it's no if you do crime with him they won't go after you because he's got the top donor class is his list and that's more important than bill clinton is having these Jewish billionaires because they're the ones that finance everything else.

Every congressional run, you're seeing it right now with Thomas Massey.

Thomas Massey. Yeah.

Yes. Paul Singer and Adelson and the list. That's who's back in his UDP. Nowadays, a pack is not the flagship. This guy is too hot. The APAC is still giving money, but that money is really their money anyway. And but it sees other lesser known entities that are are pushing it through and they put in millions of dollars to beat Thomas Massey and he's within one point now and usually his landslide victory for incumbents you know and he might lose because they put it all I'm hoping that

he's just being smart and downplaying it and lowballing it that I'm in trouble in order to motivate people to get out

I think he's just telling the truth he did get a money bomb with Tucker Carlson that'll help but he's got like 12 days left I think yeah and this really is a war on the Epstein class like if Thomas Massey wins it will show it'll prove look APAC UDP Christians for Israel all the affiliate groups that Grant Smith talks about they all lost because they are openly all in and they want him to lose and so does the president and if he wins is like look you're beatable and it also shows the public this is what we want but a very interesting stat in the like younger crowd young meaning like under 35 he's got like 85 percent it's ridiculous it doesn't look like a real number he said like he's crushing it and the difference is they're getting news from you you know and me and people like that and not watching TV yeah they're getting Judge Napolitano or Memo or whatever like this is they become where people go for news oh by the way how do I know you're really Larry Johnson I've seen such great AI slop that how do

I know yeah I really can't tell I have my dog come over right actually you can usually the AI so far has trouble with the eyes forehead and they they can't get a voice like what I just did a pause searching for words no it's very flawless and seamless you know sometimes I'm thinking man I wish

I could talk like that that's what Colonel Wilkerson said he goes it was beautifully written but I didn't say any of it yeah

yeah so you know I take that as a form of flattery you know say that gee I must be effective because they're they're having to go through the AI route well it's

showing also like that clickbait want to grab you they've I've seen it with Scott Ritter I've seen it with Colonel Wilkerson they know that's who people want to listen to because you can't trust anything from CENTCOM, Axios, True Social. They're all liars constantly. And so they're looking for it. I'll show you this. Like, I did this. I'm admitting I did this to prove that this can be done. But you guys that are simping, check this out, okay? Am I copying her or she copying me? You can put stuff in front of your face. You can follow the eyes, right? That's just an example. I did that just to prove I can. All right. I'm like, you guys stop simping. Stop sending people money. You don't know who you're talking to. I can make that character or anyone else that could have been your face and I can make it talk and I can clone their voice. And I'm not a tech person. And even I know how to do that.

I'll let Andrew take courses, by the way, cheap plug. But in the real world, you can learn how to do that. so you got to be careful what you're looking at you don't know who you're talking to or anything you almost have to see the if you're watching YouTube like make sure that's the judges show or Nemo show or Danny or whoever like that's not some copy of something yeah very much otherwise you're probably looking at AI slop and

particularly came out said like three aircraft carriers were sunk and I was getting notes from Todd did this happen I was like no no no no I noticed you're going for the Andy Warhol look.

Well, usually you have one of these. But I went with the Ric Flair look during WrestleMania weekend. I got my bleach blonde hair.

Kind of sick of it already.

But because people complained about it, I kept it because that's the kind of contrarian I am. it's very it's very and there was not allowed at Wrestlemania and some beef with another wrestler if Ric Flair says he's gonna bleach your hair you can't say no I don't care I'll just turn I can die it back anytime so I love Ric Flair he dudes he's in his 70s as well and he is very high wired High Energy in that guy. I want to be like that when I if I reach that age, I hope so. I want to have that level of energy. He just doesn't. I'm like, he's not on drugs either. He just. He was built like that. Yeah. Flair. Punch him along. Go in a bar and buy everyone there a cocktail. And you just have to because Ric Flair did it. He doesn't slow down. He doesn't drink much now, but anyway. Yeah, this also separates. My brother has been getting on TV a lot more and he's going to be on Netflix soon. So really, you know, that's that's cool with his colony research.

Yeah, he found the lost colony. There's a lot of BS on that one, too. It's just I get it with September 11th. You got all the kooks with the bombs on the building and stuff. And, you know, I have to deal with that. And he has to deal with the people talking about dare stones or maybe they went west or acting like they don't know what croton means and it shows you how much of history is just handicapped by the entertainment industry where they make things mysteries that aren't like Stonehenge the pyramids none of those things are mysteries but it's so profitable to keep them mysteries and act like we figure it out that that's what most people assume and it makes me question all everything like a lot of things in science that they say are unknown if you really look it's like that's not true like they knew about the asteroid or the meteor that hit that wiped out the dinosaurs back in 1981 they already had all the everything settled but uh it took till probably another 20 years before the they finally like got people to sign off on that and the public understood it because it was just what killed the dinosaurs it's so fun to have a mystery and once you have an answer they don't like it they didn't like that with the Kennedy shootings like I have proven who shot JFK and RFK and people see that like but they love talking about maybe it was going to in the Fed maybe this made it and all these alternatives and like this is stupid this is not even a difficult mystery at all well yeah

particularly the bullet killed they allegedly killed Kennedy with if that had actually been fired from the Carcano his head exploded but it would have been there wouldn't have been much of a head

left at all it would have been well the one that Jack Ruby placed in the gurney in the hospital was just placed there that looked like it was fired in cotton or something but it I just like I've almost given up on it I'm like I don't know why I put all this effort in and made all these films and things because along comes Alex Jones or Candace Owens or something saying nonsense. And it's just like it is such a huge megaphone that what I said just gets lost in the ether. I have to wait for them to go away before I can say the exact same thing I've always said to be like, you know, this you you do things. He's your work for Alessio. I'm like, yeah, I'm why you know that. Oh, did you know Zeal Jara had cousins in Israeli intelligence? Like, yeah, I said that in 2001. huh it's frustrating and we're seeing it now though i think i think we're getting ahead of the curve there was never a time period if i go back to gulf war one or even the second gulf war in 2003 there was no youtube you couldn't go in and hear larry johnson or scott ritter or right or beatman or you could there sometimes you guys were on tv but it was like you know

You couldn't get these long-form discussions about what was going on It was five

minutes, ten minutes tops Right, and it was like three against one and stuff like that And no one was talking about it, no one could talk about it And I remember thinking, I wish I could talk to that person that seemed to sell the truth for a minute or two I wish there was somewhere I could say things about the Office of Special Plans Remember Justin Raimondo was writing about it in antiwar.com He laid out everything but you'd have to go to antiwar.com and read Justin Raimondo and you know how many people were doing that compared to just watching Bill O'Reilly screech on Fox or or any of them CNN they're all just as bad Wolf Blitzer former APAC employees now the elite doing the Situation Room

I've known Wolf first dealt with him back in 34 years ago when I was at State I was the one man task force that we were still working on the hostages being released out of Lebanon and they just got the Reverend Terry Weir had just been released and it was it was late at night and the wolf calls you know to close into the State Department and patch him through to me and he was he was saying oh we've heard that the you know they had a they had a like a chip a computer chip planted on him and this is really before computer chips were much of a fly yeah and that but we had some sort of transponder that we knew where he was all the time and I said wolf I said, if we'd known where he was, we would have tried to go in and get him. We didn't know. That's the point. And so then a few minutes later, he says, according to State Department sources. And so that's where I learned, oh, that's how this game works.

You know, he talked to me and then it comes out on the television.

There was a great debate with Norman Finkelstein and Wolf Blitzer where Wolf is showing his colors more. He's like so ardently pro-Israel in that debate. And Finkelstein wiped the floor with him. I think it was Buckley was somebody pretty prominent moderator as well. I don't remember off the top of my head. But anyway, I'm like, who saw this? It's on the internet way deep down, but you'd have to know it exists even attempt to look for it, you know, and that's the problem. But I think the press is getting better. And that's why Trump seems like the worst president ever. But he's nowhere close. I mean, Clinton and Bush killed millions and or a million and Obama hundreds of thousands with Syria and Libya and Trump's killed in the low thousands. I mean, that's bad, but he's not. He's nothing like what we used to have to deal with. And well, true, true. But economically, he's doing the most damage that is just explain to people the lag time, because I don't think people understand oil futures versus how much that actually cost when you load it.

And also that there was already some oil in the pipelines and on the boats that has been delivered but there's nothing behind it you talk about that a little bit like yeah

what how long do we have before we really see the increase so let's make it simple that the water your water was shut off on February 28th. But you had a bathtub that was filled with water. So you're flushing the toilet every day by dipping into that bathtub with a bucket, pouring it in. So you can keep flushing the toilet for, you know, let's say seven weeks. But then there comes the moment that the water is still not turned back on. And now you're out of water in the bathtub. that's exactly what we're going through right now with oil the uh the financial markets are crooked they are they're like a crooked casino where the the house is you know they've loaded the dyes they've got a roulette wheel that could be controlled stopped and started it well uh they're you know cheating on the deal at the blackjack table

Like Carl Icahn versus Jim Cramer in poker and they both had a royal flush. Yeah. They both had four of a kinases. Yeah. That's more accurate.

Yeah. How does that work? So. The oil that was loaded onto ships and then set off to sail the mighty seas, traveling at the speed of roughly a bicycle, going about 10 miles, 12 miles an hour. And so it's only in the last about a week ago that those ships that were filled with oil that had been on the seas since the 28th of February were finally getting offloaded. and so when those ships pull into port even though the oil futures market says oh the brent crude is worth uh uh ninety four dollars the reality is if you got brent crude on board that ship uh and you want to take it off you're going to have to pay the market price at the time the actual market price which is like you know 140 dollars $160. Singapore did one offload for like $215 five weeks ago. So the thing, you know, I'm increasingly obsessed with, you know, consider these numbers. We've lost, we've had 20% of the world's oil now shut off.

25% of the world's liquid natural gas shut off. The urea for fertilizer, 35% shut off. Helium, 30% of the world's demand for helium comes out of the Persian Gulf. Shut off. And then sulfuric acid, which is a critical component, both helping make fertilizer and doing some other things. But we've never in history Ever Been Faced With This Kind Of Commodity Shortage For So Long Nothing We Don't Have Any Recent Or Distant History That Matches Up To It And Yet People Are Oblivious You Try To Tell Them And They Just Wave You Off No That Can't Be True Well What's The Price Per Gallon In Florida Right Now 402 That's With My BJ's Club Discount It's Actually 417 For The Regular Guys

Oh, Lindsey Graham's in a BJ Club.

Yes, but he didn't get a membership card.

He's in different BJ Club. You were talking about the speed of a bicycle earlier, and it reminded me, you know, Ron Paul, 90 years old, still rides a bike. It's amazing. Oh, really?

Lindsey Graham does too, but his doesn't have a seat. I don't recommend riding bikes in Florida because you've got enough people older than me that run them over. Not intentionally, but they run them over. I'd argue riding a bike in Florida is exciting. Well, that's true.

It's like playing Frogger.

Yeah, yeah.

Iron.

You're taking your life into your own hands so this is what was it before the so would you say 404 254 so uh 27 404 now so basically when you actually one ukraine worth of uh that's that's if you're a vjs member the reality is if you just pull up the regular gas station that's 449 walmart today 449 all right so yeah and

So in California, that would just be normal. So what was it before the war?

254. 254. 27 February, the day before the war started, it was 254.

And that might have been anticipated when it was about to start, too.

Yeah. Well, actually, I don't think anybody really anticipated that the Strait of Hormuz would get shut down like it has been. We did.

Pepe Escobar and I talked about that back in 2014 we said if there's ever war with Iran this is what they're going to do and they can and they've been read at exercises proving they can do that right they should have all known that was going to happen these morons think they can reopen it Trump is still you can tell he's got a bunch of civilian morons telling them advice because he'll like oh we'll just destroy their navy and reopen the strait it's not the ships that close the strait it's the land batteries

Right. And so, again, I emphasize, compare 1987 when we did the oil escort operations in the Persian Gulf, that Iran retaliating against the West for its support of Saddam Hussein in waging war against Iran. You know, Hussein got chemical weapons from the West, or at least the precursors to make them. Also got some biological weapon material. And um so iran tried to mine the straight uh the persian gulf and failed uh it was they were ultimately defeated by a small group of navy seals a buddy of mine commanded the unit it was called the hercules barge so jump ahead to today well isn't that

why they're on karg island because iraq invaded the they were vulnerable in the land from iraq Yeah,

well, they went, you know, Iraq borders Iran, so they were attacks there, but they never penetrated far into Iran, which is a reminder of how difficult it is just because of the terrain. And then with mountainous terrain, trying to keep everybody resupplied moving forward. That was there. Now, they've got mines like before, but in addition, they've got many submarines, at least three. They carry torpedoes. They've got underwater drones. They've got surface drones. They've got bog hammer speed boats with missiles that are crewed by human beings. So, uh and then ballistic missiles too I mean well look at the speed of a bicycle and

it's covered and he's carrying oil it's pretty easy target to hit I mean from a

mile away you also have you have drones you have coastal uh defense cruise missiles you have intermediate range and short-range uh ballistic missiles so I mean they've got a they've got a whole arsenal now and that can you you know to open the straight so that anybody can sail through without fear of being hit or shot or blown up. That would require a massive military operation that we are not politically willing to do. It would lead to tens of thousands, if not more, American lives lost from trying to fight their way into Iran.

Did you see a Korean ship got hit and Trump immediately ran out and said, oh, South Korea ought to join us in reopening the strait? But Iran denied hitting it. There have been false flags with Israel in particular. I think that's what happened. It was the HMM, if anybody, one of the HMMs, and 24-person crew, six Koreans, no casualties. Something went off on the port side. Wasn't a drone, wasn't a missile. And they're saying, well, maybe a mine went adrift. there's no storm or anything like that so I asked around like really a mind went adrift right in the middle of Operation Promise Freedom or whatever he called it and hits a Korean ship right they're investigating it as of seven hours ago they said they're cooperating and they're investigating what happened to this Korean ship I did hear some intel from some people that the US tried to set up a screen and this is why the destroyers went in there and they were actually trying to use civilian ships to get men on the islands.

Have you heard much anything like that? I have not.

If they get men on the islands, it's a death sentence for those guys. How do you keep them resupplied? They don't have any kind of cover that is defensible and impregnable from missile strikes and drone strikes for that matter.

So it's the same thing of going in the strait at all. Your boats are vulnerable. They'll get fired on from all sides. Like, why even going in there? Who's coming up with these plans?

Well, they're not really following a plan. You're not even wrong. So let me read you. I got this from a buddy. And I'd asked him, I said, I said I think we're going to put put that Trump's going to put a tax on hold until after his meeting with Xi Jinping in China and my friend wrote back he goes dude I've literally literally been in meetings where the one star comes in sits down and is like well I was going to brief the operations plan but in light of the president's most recent social media posts we're going to table that and wait for new guidance so no there's a lot of confusion right now about what the next steps are what is going on there's no strategic vision here no clear strategy of any kind our objectives have changed like seven times so that I think is an accurate picture of

what's going on what well who's calling the shots and doing all these like Homer Simpson curly straight curly straight like we're going in we're not going in we'll take an island we won't take an island or we're gonna release the Kurds okay maybe not but are they just playing market yo-yo or is it that's just a coincidental like they're just incompetent and the market's yo-yoing

No, it's Trump. It's Trump with a clear mental deficit with this early, early stages of frontal lobe dementia. So he's one minute, he makes one decision. Next minute, he makes the exact opposite, contradictory decision. And he doesn't see it as contradictions.

Is he saying something happened to him that made him think like a woman? No.

It's worse than that, man. Worse than that. Again, a woman who can't remember anything from what happened an hour ago.

Well, hopefully, unlike a female, he'll have accountability, but I doubt it. We really are at the whims of this fat orange maniac that shouldn't be there. And I'm wondering what Vance and people like that are thinking. How do you get rid of him? How do you prevent him from making a very embarrassing naval assault. If he just orders them in, do they have to go? Is there anybody that can be like, no, sir, we're not doing that? Or just tell them you did it and you won?

They could.

Give them a big medal.

What they're trying to do is let him take the win, so-called, and then turn his eyes to Cuba. They think they can get a quick victory there. I would raise questions about that. um they may very well not be able to do that so you know what's been exposed are the limitations of U.S. power people were so accustomed to the United States being able to roll in get its way we take out Gaddafi we take out uh Manuel Noriega you know we've taken out Maduro just you know we'll do the bulk the bulk stuff and you know just say look how strong we are and the fact is we're not that strong it's been exposed we have to keep most of our ships 200 miles off the coast of Iran because if they get any closer they're going to get attacked and possibly sunk uh ground operations completely out of the question because you know sending they can't even hold on their bases in Iraq yeah well you know and sending in you know let's say you could send in uh 50 seals you know a number you know he said in three or four squadron of Delta Force you know what are they going to do and and they can only carry ammunition enough ammunition for like a day and a half Two Days Max You Know Those A Full A Full Can Conventional Military Can For Ammo Weighs Well Over 40 Pounds So Having To Carry That Or Like Carrying It Through Water And Such Well I Think It Was You That Pointed Out They Don't Even Have An

Army Commander Chosen It's Just Right

Yeah, because right now the command structure is you got CENTCOM at the head, Admiral Cooper, they call him the Joint Forces Commander. Then you have Combined Forces Maritime Component Commander. And then you have Combined Forces Maritime Component Commander, but you don't have a similar one for ground operations. So until such time as they appoint someone like that, I don't think you're going to see any ground operation. Thank God.

I don't think you could do that logistically without it being seen anyway. What's the staging area going to be? Saudi Arabia or something? Yeah.

well and that's the point the you know 23 years ago we staged 165,000 troops in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia you know they've they've got Saddam fired maybe a scud or two but nothing of any consequence soldiers were safe and then they launched that invasion the one I've just I've become increasingly intrigued with thinking back you know Saddam was our bitch for nine years from 1980 through 1988. He was part of a CIA covert action plan to destabilize the government of Iran and overthrow it, even back then.

They were grooming him since 68. Yeah.

And so in 1989, when he, you know, he's seen Kuwait's basically stealing oil from Iraq as far as he's concerned. And He goes to April Glaspie, the ambassador, and says, okay, hey, we're going to take care of this unless you tell us you've got a problem with it. And the basic answer that came back was, hey, not our problem, and we're not going to take any position on it. And he said, okay, that's a green light.

And then you get Tom Lantos and crew talking about babies on incubators. Yes. Yes. You know, Hill and Milton coach, daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador. And more lies. The irony is, is babies on incubators were actually killed in Gaza by the Israelis. That did happen, but no movement there. So Trump's talk in China, I mean, allegedly he was supposedly originally going there to talk about rare earth and tariffs and things. What's he doing now? They must be talking about the Iran conflict. How could that be avoided?

You know, again, I remain skeptical whether the trip will actually come off. Because China's been pretty assertive this week. Yeah, no sanctions.

We're not doing it. No.

Yeah, we're not doing U.S. sanctions anymore. Ignore them. They're meaningless. And then Iran announcing, hey, we'll accept a payment for our oil in Rial and or you on but you know pretty dark times when someone like me is cheering for China

but I am like hey say no to sanctions stand up to the US do it I saw a turnabout with Saudi Arabia too they're like you can't use our airspace okay now you can that didn't even last a day

Yeah, and then supposedly they've reversed course, at least that's the word today. Oh, they've come around, they recognize they need to help us. Now, this is, what we're witnessing is the destruction of the old economic political order, and part of that was based on international law, which the U.S. no longer accepts. And the emergence of this new thing, because note both China in their conversations with Foreign Minister Orochi, as well as Putin in his conversations with the Iranian Foreign Minister. Both China and Russia use the same language, developing a new security architecture in the Gulf. So that tells you right off the bat, Xi and Putin, they're coordinating. They're probably much closer than many people realize.

I think so. Well, I'll read my calendar quote and let you, I know you're on a million different shows, so I'll let you get in. So here's from A&C. Today, this month's quote was from me. I only did one, but it happened to be from A. When poison is made to taste like honey, the fool will fight to keep it. The alcoholic clings to his destroyer like a baby bottle. The scroller feels naked without their phone take away their constant virtual reality and drugs and most people are bored with who they are for they are no one and unsatisfied with real relationships for they have made none. So back to the noise they will go cursing anyone who interrupts them. Self deceivers will always hate the one that tells them the truth for truth violently destroys the falsehoods they have made their identities. A lie injures the intelligent and truth hurts the fool. Sounds a bit like Plato and many other people pissed off that people are not listening to them when they're right.

But the poison tastes like honey. And that is what I'm seeing consistently with drowning people in just like Instagram and AI slop and all this virtual everything and the jokes, everything's fake and gay. And we would not have gotten into this mess if people had started reacting before it was too late they wait until the war starts and then it's oh my my gas is too expensive but come on guys this is the fourth attack the second one during negotiations if you didn't see this coming stevie wonder could see this coming yeah

well and you know the the us not just trump besant marco rubio Other pundits, whether you're talking Jack Keane or Keith Kellogg, Captain Crunch, they are being lied to about the conditions in Iran. They've been convinced, once again, just like Bibi did, that Iran's hanging by a thread, that the government has no support, the leadership is divided. Oh, that's been their favorite one. And what they don't realize is Yeah, Trump keeps saying that. Pozeskian, Pozeskian, the president, Arachi foreign minister, Galibov, the head of the legislature, and the Ayatollah Khamenei, the Moshtaba, all of those guys fought in that Iraq war from 1980 through 88. Moshtaba, he fought the last two years, 87, 88. That creates a bond. There's no division there. These guys are shaped by the same life experience when they're in their 20s. Pozeskian was in his 30s. He was a medic. But still, they fought. They're all part of the IRGC back then.

And now they're curating this false narrative that, oh, the Pozeskian and Orochi are getting dissed by the IRGC. For God's sake, they are part of our IRGC. And they have a strong emotional bond with it.

They fought a real war with many casualties. It was eight years ago.

And then the other lie is that, oh, their economy, man, it's hanging by a thread. Our blockade is so effective. They're running out of cash. They can't pay soldiers to fight. And it's like, do you guys know how to read a map? Just pull up a map of... Of iran and look what's up on their northern border. It's called the caspian sea, huh? They got unfettered access to to russia and its resources Trucking in to pakistan to my land So and then yeah, well, I was just gonna say then you got Turkmenistan border wide open pakistan wide open pakistan established six road routes and then you got to try the railroad that comes in so Iran's doing just fine.

They're doing better than before the war.

Yes. Before they were getting $47 a barrel for their oil. Now they're triple digits.

Well, they had a currency collapse and now there's this influx of people buying in their own currency. They got a lot of foreign currencies too, which is what they needed. Thanks, Trump. Yeah.

Well, then this goes back to the point I was making earlier about the economics of it. I mean think of that what happened to Japan Japan was it no other country in the world in 2000 dominated the banking world like Japan and now BIS and it happened to them in the carry train Well, yeah, so this is, this is one example of countries that become so overly indebted, so highly leveraged, they lose their banking power. That's exactly what's going to happen to the United States. Right now we got JP Morgan is the number five, and our Bank of America is number five, JP Morgan number six. And again, those two banks heavily involved with Jeffrey Epstein. Yep. Just just a coincidence. No, I don't think victims.

Yeah, Japan's still fourth or fifth largest economy on Earth, but they were number two and there was nothing even close for a while. They were almost number one. And there's a little tiny island nation with no fossil fuels at all. You're making finished products. But yeah, he's got our hands full with the end is very fragile. They're going to have to start selling U.S. Treasury bonds. and America's doing everything they can, threats and bribes. We're going to tariff Toyota. We're going to do this or that. Trump doesn't know how to give a carrot for a carrot. It's everything carrot for stick. And that's why I'm worried, like if if he even gets to China and you said maybe that won't even happen, but he's going to go in there making threats like an idiot. And that's not going to turn out well, because, you know, who has the second highest, most bonds of foreign bonds? China, Japan, China. They could both start selling.

of course they have been offloading this last four months that's for sure yeah they and and what happens in mitsubishi or with the bank of japan excuse me um raises interest rates above it's at 0.5 right now which it was at zero period um if they do that that's going to hurt the dollar i don't want to hear anything about petrodollar like no selling bonds is what's going to collapse that it can crush it yeah it's scary times and I just don't I feel very like helpless because you see it I see it our audiences see it and there's nothing really we can do decision wise you know Thomas Massey can't come fast enough they're just gonna do it there you can watch him look there's the cliff you're about to walk off it turn around and he's

just gonna do it yep it's a it's it's a roadrunner movie and we're the roadrunner

Yeah, we're at F-35.

I mean, we're Wiley Coyote. Yeah. We keep trying to catch and destroy the roadrunner and roadrunner keeps outsmarting us just like what Iran is doing right now.

Acme is the Israelis. Here, this will work. Yeah. He's this.

Well, we've got our magic potion here.

Just paint. Just paint a tunnel on the rock. Ryan goes right through and then we go hit the wall that's the state of Hormuz

light at the end of the tunnel we stand there and we get run over by the train that

cartoon because it it had no words other than an occasional sign just like Tom and Jerry is global because you don't have to translate it yeah so everyone knows it

very smart move yeah just like the Lego videos

Yeah, Americans are making those. They keep saying Iran made a new Lego video. Like, no, those are Americans. Are those Americans?

Mm-hmm. Okay.

There's a small Lego skit in Empire Unmasked, my September 11th film, because some of these people, there's no photos of them. It's a weird thing. Some of the people in Gitmo have a silhouette. I'm like, how do you not have this person's photo? He's in Guantanamo Bay.

Yeah. Why would you have a... Well, he refused to sign a release.

Yeah, right. Under torture. Under dryboarding. Because they're not there. So I had to use Legos. So little pre-Lego boys. We were the original Legos guys. Whatever. Well, there you go.

Well, you've always been a pathbreaker.

Yeah, they've been a trailblazer. But all that does is get you censored first. But... I love it I love that all these people are making all this stuff it's it used to be really you could count them on on one hand uh all the people speak speaking up for Palestine and so on and now it's uncountable like the entire youth is sick of it um I see my own quote said back to me I like that's hilarious I made that God's not a real estate agent I started that one like all this stuff um That's why I think Israel's so desperate to do this now as they know they're losing American support and they won't have a shot in the future Yeah,

and again, they militarily, they can't There's nothing they can do, even if they use a nuke, it's not going to solve the problem of eliminating Iran's political power and influence You know, I just want to remind people to appreciate, you know, we're getting all this rah-rah about how much explosive power we've dumped on Iran and how they're on the edge just a little bit more. I want you to sit down and compare the number of rockets, missiles, drones, artillery, and fixed wing aircraft dropping bombs. Compare what Russia has done to Ukraine for now four years and three months. with what the United States and Israel did to Iran in five weeks. And remember, Ukraine's one-third the size of Iran. so don't tell me that you think that you can that you're having an effect on the entire country gonna force it to collapse when as Russia's learned air power alone doesn't defeat Ukraine that's why the ground operations are moving they're moving all along the front now you're gonna have a two-day pause Saturday Sunday to wait for Celebrate the 9th of May, the end of World War II, the end of the Great Patriotic War.

But once that celebration is done, stand by. They're going to ramp up and ramp up quickly, I think.

It's also the anniversary of William Sapphire lying about Muhammad Atta in Prague. I know because it's on the calendar. you sell these every year to get even even myself I'll forget stuff like that I'm not gonna remember what day that happened on but there's it's a nice little reminder there's stuff it's not just Middle East it goes all the way back to the Civil War because there's a lot of lies about that too but that's our our back cover is her leading away You got the stars and bars. People are like, take that flag down. No. You don't do that kind of calendar. I've been pressured to. I'm not doing that. It's just enough. Most of them are wearing A&C clothing. It makes them mad. I don't think I'll even need models in a year or two. The whole thing will be AI. I don't want anybody. No one will know the difference. It's kind of a fun job. Actually, I'll probably keep sticking with real people.

Yeah. That's a that's my shameless plug. You can't get the count. I mean, you could you stupid to get it in May, but you should have got it last December. If you missed it, get it next year. We do have all the gear in it, though, like this hat. This shirt's now gone, but plenty of things in there. We got a new thank you, Iran shirt. We got a different hat with leather patch. And of course, we sell our boycott Israel coffee. It says in all Israel, the dollar sign on the on the back there. Pretty good. Larry Johnson if let's forget in your sonar 20 you want choke choke choke yeah sonar21.com or larrysonr21.com is the Substack too that's like a unique url that's how that works yeah anything else where they can follow do you have a twitter are

you active on there yeah i've got the son of uh on uh on twitter so

I'll pass that to you yeah pass that to me if if I haven't added you already I will and I'll drop this some people are watching this on Substack live it's for everyone but the recording is going to be for paid members usually but because this is a pressing issue I'll probably put this up for free so and then I can plug you on there yeah

We'll do that Much appreciated Yeah, here it is It's x.com forward slash new son of New son of Yeah Because you had so

many ancestors in the Revolutionary War 28 of them So And There were some

characters in there There was actually a father and son team Who They got court-martialed They engaged in some unsavory acts, but Yeah, this is Yeah,

I'm already following you, but let's I'll put that on telegram right now Yeah, I had a ancestor in the Civil War that fought for the bad guys at first, then he changed teams after Sherman started burning cities

There really is no good or bad guys. He fought the Union and then joined the Confederates.

Right. Well, I mean, North Carolina wasn't that affected by the tariffs. That's why they were the last state to secede because that Adderbanks area doesn't have any major port cities. There's just Wilmington, which was the capital at the time. They wanted to secede and they voted to, but most of the state didn't. and the Western half, kind of like West Virginia, they were still in the Union, not on paper, but they I mean the Union soldiers from North Carolina. So because those mountain areas weren't affected by the tariff. But I remind people slavery was legal in all of North Carolina and West Virginia. And in fact, Virginia ended slavery before West Virginia by six days. But it didn't matter because that's not what that war was about. And I'm so sick of having to explain that to people like that's something Lincoln made up a year and a half into the war. The secession papers are not written.

Anyway, if anyone's interested in that, Dawson-Twins.com is all the Civil War stuff. There's so much of it, I made it separate from Anti-neocon Report. But Lincoln is the original neocon. He is the one that created the income tax. That is not from 1913. It is from Lincoln. He's the one that married corporation and state, and he's the guy that destroyed the free press by closing down all the newspapers. and after the war, they could never recover. It's all Lincoln. And Trump likes to compare himself to Lincoln, Mr. Tariff and everything. I'm like, yeah, you are, but not the storybook version, the actual Lincoln. And that's why the Lincoln carrier outside of Iran, like, I want that to sink so bad. I'm like, you know, but I don't want the personnel to go down with it. I just want the Lincoln to go down.

Well, yeah, that Ramsar, North Carolina, is uh it's out it's out west and that's where one of my ancestors who actually uh died uh in the revolution uh he was killed there at Gramsir so um and that uh i also descended of uh the sister of daniel boone she was my uh sixth great great yeah sixth great grandmother and uh So she and her family, you know, they came down through Boone, North Carolina, you know, making their way, you know, further west and wound up in Boone County, Missouri.

I'm related to Charles Hasker from the Hunley, the first submarine ever made and out of South Carolina. But I will tell you this, I am boycotting South Carolina if they reelect Lindsey Graham.

Oh, my God.

yeah I will I will not buy visit or do anything in South Carolina if y'all elect Lindsey Graham again as and I I'm from North Carolina I don't care I will boycott SC if they elect Lindsey Graham like you guys can't do this again I don't know who's voting for him I didn't know there was that large of a homosexual Zionist population

yeah he's he is he is a nightmare and he actually he seems to be suffering some mental decline himself he gets wackier and wackier is there any disease that can

get passed from hamster to person yeah because then he's got them all yeah yeah guys for fun go to my twitter at ryliberty and that like do push my name and then write lindsey graham is hundreds of Lindsey Graham jokes, half jokes, half true. I don't know how to say it. But if you want to just see some zingers on Graham, you know, kind of guy that drinks bottled water with two hands. There's plenty of Graham isms in there. And I really want him to lose. There's a lot of great people trying to primary Zionist Republicans right now. of course we got Thomas Massey's race Dan Bilzerian down there in the 6th District of Florida there's some races in North Carolina and Texas and then of course Lindsey Graham's race you want to vote for Lynch or somebody else just not Lindsey Graham please anybody but him and that consistency is who the kind of ilk that Trump is listening to and it's like is he on the Epstein list and like well he doesn't play for that team but he does love his money I don't think he's I don't I can't tell if he's a Zionist Christian or pretending I don't know but either way like that that's who

he's playing for he is I am told by my former business former business partner kids were retired we're not estranged But he collected evidence that he says that Lindsay received like more than 16 million dollars in funds that were siphoned off out of money given to Ukraine. And that, you know, Charles Schumer got a big bite, like 23 million. So, you know, we'll see again. But the Washington works on protecting all these guys, you know,

not Lindsay went over there with John McCain just before his death. and he was bragging in his southern list 2017 is going to be the war of offense and according to Jackman Radio he also said with a bottle of lotion he's like it's going to take boots any of you boys need some lotion yeah that's what we heard according to Jackman Radio The Jackman Twins are comedians that do impersonations and their Lindsey Graham is spot on. And it's like there's a conversation they did between Jesse Ventura and Lindsey Graham, you know, each one playing the it's so good. It's just so good. I love that stuff.

By the way, if you want to you want to have some fun, look up a tanker map dot com.

Tanker map. Tanker map. All right.

T-A-N-K-E-R-M-A-P dot com. It shows you you can get a live view of the straight of her moves. Guess what? It's not open for business.

Well, you know, Lindsey Graham hates the straight.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That's yeah. He wants to call it the gay of her moves.

He's like, it's been Lindsey straight is a boomerang. whether you throw it or just look at it that's him guys uh curve more than my vision although i'll tell you what guys but i have not had symptoms this month and i did the anti-vega shots and all that stuff but if anyone else has this problem it's lutein combined with nmn i don't have that bottle next to me but just remember

nmn you have that yeah

So Flavanols will not cure your vision or anything, but in combination with the lutein, it mitigates the symptoms, at least it has for me. So I know Dan McAdams had that problem.

That's great because I know it was sort of a scary period for you a year ago.

yeah it's it's hundreds of dollars and but for your vision it's it's worth it yeah take it out all right there's my medical my unsanctioned medical advice just saying I worked with me as anecdotal evidence don't you know get me in trouble but I'll see you uh next time you around call anytime um we'll see how this meeting in China goes hopefully they don't uh start the war uh before the 14th although It's pretty much unpredictable at this point, the way they just up, down, up, down. Who knows?

They're running out of options. That's the reality. They don't have a police helicopter going over here. Uh-oh. Black helicopters. Yeah, but the U.S. has no good military options. It's not like there's something they could do.

There's one. There's one good option. Leave.

Hold out. Withdrawal.

Yeah. Do like Reagan and pull out or the words of Biff slash Trump. Just make like a tree and get out of here.

Yeah.

He is President Biff. If anybody's seen Back to the Future, like you look, you're having a good day.

Yeah, that's that's that's a great parallel. All right. Later. Peace. Okay. Bye.

That was Larry Johnson. Find him on Twitter. Find him Sonar21 on Substack. Just son of a new American Revolution. Just write that out. S-O-N-A-R-N 21. And we're going to leave this with Technoviking Vance and Electrolyte Trump.

Correct.

It has electrolytes because it has electrolytes. That's what makes it so great. You need electrolytes. They're what plants crave. Electrolytes. They're incredible.

Israel wanted war with Iran. There was no nuclear threat. There was only an Epstein threat.
