Transcript extract:
I spend a lot of time in the hinterlands. The flyover zone, you might say. I have very strong ties and contacts in Texas. And the anger
that has been building, particularly in the last four years with the Biden administration, and all that has happened in the United States with the woke culture, this anger is very palpable. And there are tens of millions of ordinary people in the United States whose sense of betrayal and disgust with the Democratic Party and its woke culture finally burst.
And it's not only that. I am very much in favor of the initial actions to close the border, to begin the deportations, and to declare the drug gangs terrorist organizations. That has been a long time coming as well. I have close contacts in the Department of Homeland Security. One of the lead people that I've talked to actually was down on the Texas border watching the Mexican Army escort drug gangs across the border. This is a very real phenomenon that has been corrupting American life now for quite a long time.
I also have spent a good bit of time in Montana the last few years. And you go on to an Indian reservation and you talk to people and you read the accounts of what's been going on out there, that they have been subject to an invasion of Mexican drug gangs. Some of these people drive in from California, chiefly, or in some cases, Washington State. They are picked up by the police with carloads of fentanyl and loaded guns that they then unload on the Indian reservations. And I even told somebody who was questioning me about this, “why don't you and I go out there and we'll go to a morgue and we'll see how many of the bodies in the morgue are of Indians who've died of fentanyl overdoses. And then we'll go to a federal district court where these drug gangs are on trial and we'll see what names they go by and we'll see what they bring in and then we'll see the prison sentences they get.” And if you do that and actually talk to the real people on the ground in this country, you realize the disaster that's been unfolding here for so long.
And quite honestly, the news about Ukraine, even the news about Israel, is kind of far away to the people who elected Trump. And what I have said is that Trump is riding a populist wave. Who knows what the guy really believes about a lot of things. You witness his impromptu press conference in the Oval Office, where he says “I think Spain is in BRICS, isn't it?” And you begin to question, who's this guy talking to?
Well, that's the S, right?
Where is he getting his information? So it's a complex situation. But I have written in one of my publications, the e-book I published with Global Research. The title is World War III is on and America Has Lost Already. The American Civil War has begun. And the only salvation for humanity is spiritual. But the Civil War is on. And the Civil War very much follows the pattern of the Republicans and the Democrats as we saw them back in 1860, with Trump playing the Lincoln role and Biden playing whate
