Seven US Servicemen Dead in Iran War. What Next?

Welcome everybody to the 7th and report. I'm your host Alex Newman. It's wonderful to

be with you on this beautiful March 9th that the Lord has made. We've got two very special

guests joining us today. Dr. Merrill Nash to break down the latest on the Epstein revelations

the World Homicide Organization and the possibility of a future plannedemic, especially considering

the fact that nobody has been punished for the last one. We also have the great Brad Ward

from Armor of Truth joining us to discuss the ongoing fissure that we see developing

within MAGA world within Trump's base. People are upset about the war. People are upset

about the board of peace. People are upset about different issues. And so Brad's going to

help us to make sense of all that. But before we get there, a lot going on in the news

will have Andrew Muller joining us to break it down, especially focusing on Iran. And

some of the incredible new developments when it comes to healthcare, folks, the vaccines,

huge, huge stuff to stay with us for that. But also we're going to start with a word

from the word. This comes out of Hebrews chapter 3. I've been reading Hebrews with my

children over the last few weeks. And we've got Hebrews chapter 3 verses 1 through 4. The

Bible reads, therefore holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus

the Apostle and high priest of our confession, who was faithful to him, who appointed him

just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. For Jesus has been counted worthy of

more glory than Moses, as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than

the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is

God. Hey, good reminder right there. Now before we get into the news folks, I do want

to remind you about the danger, the ever present danger of the so called child protective

services. Right. Obviously there are some children in need of protection. But the reality

is over 37% of American children are going to be investigated as part of a CPS investigation

before they turn 18 in this country. Now over 83% of those children end up being determined

not to be victims of abuse or neglect. And yet for the families that are put through these

traumatic processes, these investigations are heart-rending. They are traumatic. They're

very difficult to deal with. And of course, homeschoolers, Christian homeschoolers, not only

are not immune from being reported to CPS, sometimes people who disagree with our educational

choices or our medical choices, sometimes there's accidents. We're not immune from these

things. We've got false reports from disgruntled friends or family members, neighbors, right,

people who dislike the way we parent. And so what do you do then? If the CPS shows up at

your door? Well, if you join Heritage Defense, you can get peace of mind on that front at

least. You can call them 24-7. They will have a lawyer in your state who specializes in

this area of law ready to come to your defense. Anytime, literally 24 hours a day, seven

days a week, 365 days a year, they've got experience attorneys ready to fight to protect

your home, your children, your parental rights. So go check it out. It's at heritagedefense.org.

Heritagedefense.org. We just love what they do. I've been a member for many, many years.

I know we've actually got their phone number right on the refrigerator. So go check it out,

folks heritagedefense.org. If you're a Christian homeschool family, it's a number that you need on

your fridge as well. Folks, I want to start off talking about the latest on the war in Iran,

just by acknowledging those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. I come from a military

family. I've had the pleasure of getting to know a lot of the folks in the military. And also,

what I can say it unequivocally, some of the best Americans that we have, some of the best men

and women that our nation produces are the ones who end up joining. This has been my experience

just constantly. Not everybody necessarily joins for the right reasons, but when I look at the

folks that I know from the military, these are really the greatest Americans that we have so often.

And it breaks my heart when politicians betray them. But I do want to share just a little bit

about each of the Americans who has died so far in this conflict in Iran.

Let's start with Captain Cody Cork. He was 35 years old. He was born and raised in Winter Haven,

Florida, not too far from me. He enrolled in National Guard in 2009 as a multiple launch rocket

system fire detection specialist. He was part of the 103rd sustainment command. They provide food,

water, and other equipment and supplies. He graduated from Florida Southern College in 2014. He was

commissioned as a military police officer in the Army Reserve that year. He was deployed to Saudi

Arabia in 2018, Guantanamo in 2021, Poland in 2024. He won multiple awards, including a military

outstanding volunteer service medal, the Meritoria service medal, and the Army Commandation Medal.

Truly a great American. His city said this beyond his distinguished military service, those who

knew Cody remembered him for the kind person he was every day. Friends describe him as someone

who was always smiling, easygoing, and genuinely kind. Someone who looked out for people around him

and left a lasting impression on those he met. Many recall that when you ran into Cody around town,

it always felt like no time had passed. Another American who has died. We've got the Sergeant

First Class Nicole Armor. She was 39 years old. She was from Minnesota. Her husband, Joey Armor,

told CBS News Minnesota that she was just days away from ending her deployment and coming home

to their two children. She listed in the National Guard in 2005 as an automated logistics

specialist, then transferred to the Reserve in 2006. She had previously deployed to Kuwait,

and seems like just a wonderful lady. She was assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command as well,

and her husband, Joey Armor, said she was almost home. You don't go to Kuwait thinking

something's going to happen, and for her to be one of the first, it hurts. And that folks keep

him and her children in prayer during this impossible time. Next, we've got Sergeant First Class Noah

Chechen's 42 from Bellevue, Nebraska. Congressman Don Bacon said he was a native of the area.

The US Army Reserve said he enlisted as a vehicle mechanic in 2006. He had two previous deployments

2009 and 2019, both to Kuwait. He was awarded honors, including the Maritoria Service Medal,

the Army Commandation Medal, the Army Achievement Medal. He was also part of the 103rd Sustainment

Command, and Bellevue Mayor Rusty Hike said that he was married. We don't know anything else about

the family as of right now, but the mayor there said Noah dedicated his life to the defensive

freedom and answer the call to serve with courage. I honor this selfless commitment.

Next, we have Sergeant Declan Cody, 20 years old. He was from West Des Moines in Iowa. He was an

Eagle Scout, graduated from high school, just in 2023 folks, enlisted in the Army Reserve

as an Army Information Technology Specialist. He was a sophomore at Drake University. He studied

cyber security. He was taking on my class as well. He was in Kuwait, and he too was part of the

103rd Sustainment Command. It was his first deployment, and he was promoted to Sergeant Post

Humansleep. He had told his father the week before his death that he had been recommended for

the promotion, and his father, Andrew told the Associated Press that his son was one of the youngest

in his class, but that he impressed his instructors. So a pray for his family as well. We have a

Major Jeffrey O'Brien, 45 years old, from Iowa Commission in the Army Reserve as a signal

corps officer in 2012, deployed to Kuwait in 2019. In a statement, his parents and brothers

described him as a loving man, saying he was a son, a grandson, oldest of three brothers,

nephew and a compassionate young man, raised on a farm near Monty, Iowa.

Pray for his parents and his brothers, ladies and gentlemen. Number six, we have the Chief

warrant officer, number three, Robert Marzan. He was 54 years old from Sacramento, California.

His brother, Vic Marzan, told CBS News in Sacramento. My brother died for our country. He was

a lifetime serviceman. He loved his family and his country. His niece Irene Mary wrote in a

Facebook post that Marzan had served in the Army for more than 30 years, set to return home

in about two months from what would have been his final deployment. Mary said, you're our hero

with a servant's heart. You lead with love and bravery. You gave the ultimate sacrifice for

our country and honorable soldier. And I believe God welcomed you home with open arms saying, well done,

my son, well done. Last but not least, we have Sergeant Benjamin Pennington, 26 years old from

Glendale, Kentucky. He was assigned to the first space battalion, part of the first space brigade

in Fort Carson, Colorado. He was injured in an attack on March 1st at Prince Sultan Air Base in

Saudi Arabia, died from his injuries and hopefully will learn more about this young man who paid

the ultimate price in the days to come, folks. So be again in prayer for each of the families here

and recognize that there is a real cost to these things. The cost in American lives,

a cost not just in money and treasure, but in American lives. Joining us now to discuss this and

much more is Andrew Muller, Chief of Operations here at Liberty Sentinel Media, also an excellent

writer, contributed to the new American and other publications. Andrew, thanks for joining us.

Man, it's tragic that Americans are now coming home in coffins. What do you make of it?

Well, it's tough. And as you said, Alex, you know, you have a military background your family

as do I. And we recognize that this is something you sign up for and recognize that there's

a possibility, but it hurts particularly when you see it in the Middle East after so many decades

failed foreign policy and foreign quagmires. The story of Nicole Armor strikes me in particular

as the only woman listed in the fatalities that she was the mother with two children. I do think

that is a reflection on our society as well that we have our women in harm's way serving in the

military. I think that should not be. Unfortunately, I think that's a reflection on our Western

society that so many men are back home as keyboard warriors typing opinions while many of our

wives and mothers are overseas. But of course, we still recognize her and her service nonetheless.

So I do hope that this is all American blood that's going to be spilt. But unfortunately,

if the president's correct, which I unfortunately agree that I think he is, this is just the beginning.

But we do have to ask ourselves, Alex, is this the patriotic just war that would make American

blood worth the cost? And I think that that question is not completely answered. And therefore,

I mourn these service members, not just for their patriotism and their loss, which I do, but also

for the surrounding situation, as I do think it could have been avoided or neglected.

And we'll see where it goes. We're getting conflicting signals from Washington DC,

House Speaker Mike Johnson saying this Iran conflict is not a war, but here he is.

Well, we just had an important series of votes on the House floor. As you know, the war

powers resolution failed. That is the right result. We are not at war. We have no intention of being

at war. The president and the Department of Defense have made this very clear. The Department of

War has made it very clear. This is a limited operation. It's a operation. It's limited in its

scope and duration. It has a very clear mission. And that mission is nearly accomplished by all

estimates. We are taking down Iran's ballistic missile capability. It's stockpile and its

ability to produce more. They were doing that at a scale and a speed that was more than our regional

allies could keep up with. And it was a serious and imminent threat to the United States.

We don't need to relit, relitigate all that today. But also, we wanted to take down the capability

of their Navy and all of that has been very successful. So this needs to continue. It would have

been a very dangerous gambit to take the Commander-in-Chief's ability to complete this mission. It would have

been a very serious misstep by Congress. And I'm grateful that that resolution failed.

Yeah, well, I mean, there's a lot there to discuss. The war power's resolution. This was where

Congress tried to reassert itself a little bit by allowing the President to make attacks if there

was some sort of imminent threat or attack on the United States. And the Congress just voted on

this. And they decided not to reign in the President, even though they did not declare war here.

But Mike Johnson also said that the President had said this was not a war. But here is President Trump.

Winning the war, buddy, a lot. We've decimated their whole evil empire. It'll continue.

I'm sure for a little while. But very proud of the people of Paris. The Paris was so proud

of their, their boy, as they call it, my boy, in case the young lady. The Paris was so proud.

Many of them are military Parisians. But it's always a very sad thing. The war itself is going

unbelievable. It's as good as it can be. So we'll keep you updated on this, ladies and gentlemen.

It's obviously a big thing for the U.S. government to be involved in another conflict,

limited operation, war, whatever your preference is. This is very, very significant. And there's a lot

going on. Turn it over to the economic front for a moment. We've got a shipping through the

straight of Hormuz. Basically come into a standstill. One of the reasons for this is not necessarily

that the ships are getting attacked yet. But ships are going to enter a combat zone. They need to

have what's called war risk insurance that would cover the loss of the ship if it were to be

attacked, if it were to sink. And the cost of this insurance coverage, according to experts,

has gone from about 0.25% of a ship to as high as 3% of the value of the ship. That is really,

really high. And so according to Sal Mercogliano, I did what's going on with shipping. He says the

reason they stopped sailing through there is because there was not enough money in the insurance

pool to pay out should there be a catastrophic number of attacks. So all that, of course, is

leading to very real economic consequences. Oil just crossed over $100 of barrel

for the first time in over four years. As the war intensifies, it is probably going to go higher.

And fuel prices are responding by surging. The memo has now gone out though. It's just short-term

pain for long-term gain. Here we go. This is a short-term disruption for the long-term gain.

Short-term pain for the long-term gain. Short-term pain be for long-term gain. We're going to have

some short-term pain with long-term gain. Short-term pain for a long-term gain. Short-term pain,

yes, we've got some long-term gain. Short-term spike for a long-term gain. Some short-term pain

for American consumers. We may have to deal with that in the short-term. Short-term in temporary.

Temporary short-term pain. It's going to stuck in the short-term. Some short-term pain. Short-term

pain. We have to focus on the short-term. Short-term. Short-term. Short-term. Short-term.

short term and long term, short term left.

Hopefully this is a short term pain.

Short term is highly outweighed of the long term benefits.

Some short term pain for the long term gain.

Short term sacrifice for a long term gain.

All right, short term pain, maybe, or maybe long term.

Obviously, somebody sent the memo out clearly.

We're supposed to believe that this is a short term thing.

Andrew, what do you think?

I know there's been some polling released on this.

Americans don't seem to think this is going to be a short term thing.

What do you think?

I don't.

If the past is any indicator of the future,

we'll see that this is a longer term quagmire.

And you have to go back to Mike Johnson saying that this is not a war.

That is a part of the reason why everyone's so pessimistic,

because this is the same neo-hawk foreign policy

that we've seen.

Public polling is saying that most Americans think

over 60% of Americans think this quagmire will last over six months.

And you have to get back to the semantics of this, Alex,

because they're not just little things.

Websters 1828 dictionary defines war as two countries coming together

for fighting over superiority or dominion over one another

through slaughter or capture of troops

or the destruction of ships, towns, or property.

This is obviously a war.

It's a regime change war.

It's a military decapitation war.

And to tell the American people, hey, this is just a short-term pain.

It's just a limited military operation.

It's not going to be an extended foreign war quagmire like we saw

in a rock-graph, Afghanistan, or what have you.

I think it's a lie.

I think it's dishonest.

And I hope that it's a short-term war, Alex,

but most people don't think it is

and I think they're correct in that assumption.

Yeah, it would be nice to have some more clarity

and to know that the folks in Washington are being transparent with people.

As far as regime change goes,

the regime in Iran has picked a new Supreme Leader, a new Ayatollah.

Apparently, he's quite the hardliner.

Apparently, he is not one, according to the Sharia.

Apparently, the regime had to break their own Sharia rules

to put this guy in.

But his name is Moitabah Kamini.

He was chosen to succeed his late father after his father

and other family members were killed in an attack by the US and Israel.

So this apparently secretive 56-year-old cleric

is just the third Supreme Leader in the history of this ridiculous regime,

the Islamic Republic, that again was put in thanks to Jimmy Carter

and the State Department and the Western powers.

He's got close ties, apparently, to the revolutionary guard.

These are the folks that have been firing the missiles and drones at Israel

and the Gulf Arab states since the last Ayatollah, Ayatollah Ali Kamini, was killed.

Now, Andy Cyrus, expert on Iran and actually a producer on the show.

We've had her on to talk about this before.

She says that the regime had to break its own Sharia rules to bring this guy in

because he doesn't have the necessary education.

According to their constitution, their Sharia constitution,

the Supreme Leader needs to be a quote-unquote qualified Islamic jurist,

which they call a Faki, that's somebody who is recognized for deep religious scholarship

and capable of issuing authoritative Islamic rulings.

And Moitabah Kamini, the new Supreme Leader, apparently,

is not generally regarded as having that level of credentials

among the scholarly Shiite community.

So we'll see what happens.

The Babylon B had interesting, kind of funny, fake news headline.

They put a picture of a skeleton there with the terminon

and they said the Iranians went ahead and chose a new Supreme Leader

who was already dead to save time.

So we'll see the US government has been, of course, redefining the rules of warfare

and that now it seems like the government is openly targeting hostile leaders

and their families, even in their own homes.

And according to Lindsey Graham, Senator Lindsey Graham,

Neocon of South Carolina, this is just the beginning.

There's more bad guys to take out.

Here he is on TV, getting all giddy, check it out.

It's upon us.

It's just a matter of time now.

You see this, that?

Make Iran great.

President Trump said, the only way to make Iran great

is for the people to take over.

We're marching through the world.

We're cleaning out the bad guys.

We're going to have relationships with new people that will make us prosperous

and say, I've never seen anybody like it.

This is Ronald Reagan Plus.

Donald Trump is resetting the world.

And away, nobody got a dream of a year ago.

He is the greatest commander in chief of all time.

Our military is the best of all time.

Our Iran is going down and Cuba is next.

Mm-hmm.

Well, Lindsey Graham never met a war.

He didn't want to send your children to go die in.

So forgive me if I'm skeptical of this guy's enthusiasm.

And I forgot from Miami.

Nobody thinks less of the Cuban dictatorship than I do.

But we have to remember that just like with the brutal regime in Iran,

it was the US government that put the Castro regime in power.

So you might say, well, you break it, you fix it.

Now we have an obligation to do something.

But do we know that this is going to turn out better

than the last time we intervened to take out the bad guys, as Lindsey Graham said?

Well, last time the US government intervened to take out the bad guys.

It was the president of Cuba, who didn't see about these stuff.

And of course, the ambassador there said, don't do this, guys.

This is crazy.

You're supporting a communist.

What are you doing in the US government, the state department, the liars

that the New York Slimes are Herbert Matthews.

Oh, no, he's a freedom fighter.

It's going to be awesome.

Cuba's going to be a paradise.

He's like the George Washington of Latin America.

All the while, our ambassador Earl Smith was warning them what a bad idea this would be

that he was an actual communist.

And of course, he was right.

And now Cuba has lived under brutal authoritarianism, slavery, essentially, for over 60 years.

So you know, Lindsey Graham, if you want to go fight wars, I'd be happy to donate the

rifle.

But please leave my children out of this.

Now, there are good things happening in Cuba.

People are getting sick of the dictatorship there, and without all the Venezuelan oil

money and subsidies, a real chance that the dictatorship could fall on

its own.

We actually have a protest going on there right now.

We've got some B-roll.

You can see some of the footage.

There are fires happening.

People are really, really upset by what's going on with this Cuban dictatorship.

But you know, I don't know that invading Cuba would be the best use of American time,

treasure, talent.

And frankly, I don't know that Cuba would end up better if the US government were to intervene

in that way.

Our founding father said we should be a city on a hill.

But we don't want to be searching for monsters to destroy.

And if we are going to go looking for bad guys, as Lindsey Graham said, you know, he says,

we're clearing out the bad guys.

We've got plenty of bad guys right here, right?

How many people from the Epstein files have been arrested and prosecuted?

The answer is, of course, none with the exception of Miss Maxwell.

Andrew, what do you think, guys?

Lindsey Graham getting a little bit too excited here.

He certainly is, Alex.

And of course, when you have somebody like Lindsey Graham, who has used so well said,

you know, never seen a war he didn't like cheering this on.

It's very concerning.

But you have to ask here if we're going to go through the war and find out all the bad

guys.

I guess then we have to go to war with the Soviets.

We have to go to war with the CCP.

We have to take over a big part of Africa.

We have to now fight a lot of people in Western Europe.

Like when does this stop?

This is the adventurism, neoconform policy that I thought Mago was going to move us away

from.

And so many people, Alex, are saying with this war in Iran, well, it's America first.

It hurts the Chinese.

There's an element of truth to that, perhaps, by did some research last night.

And China only gets 15% of its oil imports from Iran and Venezuela combined.

So when you look at the hard data behind these foreign quagmires that are in our so-called

interest, you start to see that it maybe isn't as significant as we've been told.

And Lindsey Graham has also been quoted this week, Alex, as saying, we are going to

quote, make a ton of money off of this.

Well, who is we?

Is it the American taxpayer that's going to have $38 plus trillion in debt?

And this war is also causing a munitions crisis.

What if China wants to take Taiwan right now?

Do we even have the bandwidth as a country to take on a two front war halfway across the

world?

This is all foolishness.

And all the while we have massive debt, Epstein crimes, first time home buyers, 40 something

years old now.

The economy is in the garbage can.

And you can maybe make the argument that it's short term, but it's been 10 plus years of

an economy like this in the national debt growing.

So it's really hard to sell that pitch.

And as you said, we maybe need to give Lindsey Graham his own rifle to go and fight because

all these guys clamoring for it, they're not draft age, they don't have children, and

they don't have any skin in the game.

Yeah, yeah, I would like to see Lindsey Graham have a little bit of skin in the game.

Speaking of China, China is all over Latin America, in fact, using it as a launch pad for

their military space operations.

But the disguise as a civilian cooperation program is actually, it turns out according

to our Congress, part of a people's liberation army link global network tracking satellites

and monitoring adversaries, at least 11 CCP link sites across Latin America being used

now by the Chinese Communist military for nefarious purposes.

And as Andrew just pointed out, you know, if we deplete our resources, what little credit

ability we have left on this, what do we do if and when the chikomps come for us, who

knows?

Now, according to Dr. Robert Malone, declassified documents from the US military now show

the US military releasing 282,800 radioactive ticks, apparently sparking Lyme disease and

the 40 year cover up.

So you got to go check this out, folks, I have suspected for years that Lyme disease

was actually part of a bio weapons program.

Now it looks like a new declassified documents show that that was indeed the case.

Lyme disease is nasty and why are we not surprised to know that the US government was involved

in this as well.

Now turning to Indiana, we've got an Indiana school district agreeing to pay a former

music teacher $650,000 for religious discrimination.

The plaintiff here, John Cloogie, his crime was refusing to use fake names and pronouns

inconsistent with a student's sex.

And so the Brownsburg community school forced him to resign over this.

Thankfully, the Alliance defending freedom came in, represented him, and they brought

suit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

And so now as part of this settlement agreement, they're going to have to train their senior

staff on how to protect religious employees from discrimination.

Now we've got to save our children protests started on Hollywood Boulevard starting small,

but they are calling for all these pedophiles in the entertainment world and other places

to be taken down and held accountable.

Check it out.

We've also got a mega rapper salt from salt and pepper used to be big at least when I was

younger, saying that Hollywood and the music industry are literally run by Satanists

and occultists and weirdos.

Listen.

Hey, y'all.

So the cat's out the bag.

I've been studying this type of thing for years, but you can't really talk about it

because people will think that you're crazy.

So now we know Satanists and Luciferians run the world.

Second Corinthians, it describes that Satan is the god of this world.

They own the government, politics, Democrats and Republicans, the court system, the education

system, the banks, the federal reserve.

More and more people speaking out on this, it's like the truth is coming out.

You know what?

God did promise us that all of the evil deeds are going to be revealed.

They're going to be brought into the light, but we may not be able to talk about them

for too much longer.

If you go over to the United Kingdom, formerly a great Britain, I don't know what's great

about it anymore, but their speech prosecutions are now running.

It's about 17 times the rate of the Soviet Union under Brezhnev.

The USSR actually had four times as many people, so if you do the map, we're talking 68 times

more prosecutions per capita per year by the British government than by the Soviet government.

Obviously, the British government is not the Soviet Union yet.

They're not yet torturing and murdering these people, but it's a very troubling sign when

in the country that gave birth ultimately to the United States of America where we get

our traditions and our legal heritage from free speech is now in such mortal danger that

people are being thrown in prison right and left.

There was an interesting exchange in Congress, a female pastor who believes the government

ought to take your money and give it to the people.

She thinks how to get it.

Really grilled nicely by Congressman Michael Cloud.

Listen to this from you.

The extent that you did one of the brothers' mind, even the least of them, you did this

to me.

I would ask you, who's the you in that passage?

Thank you for your question.

You meaning all of us, the followers of Christ.

The followers of Christ, right?

In Matthew 24, 3, it says, after Jesus was sitting on the mountain of Olives and the

disciples came to him privately, and then they asked him to begin this whole chapter.

Now, what Christ didn't say was to lobby your government.

He said, if you have, you give.

That's the general biblical principle here.

It gets better and better, folks.

We don't have time to show you the whole clip, but it's absolutely brilliant.

So thank you to Congressman McLeod for hitting those really, really important issues.

We've got to stop allowing the radical left to pervert and misinterpret scripture.

Jesus never commanded us to lobby the government, to take stuff from people and give it to other

people.

That's simply not a Christian position.

Now, on the honor and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang says, massive disruption

is heading toward us and that white collar jobs are going to all, but disappear.

Listen, I am terribly sad to record this.

I believe that millions of white collar workers are going to lose their jobs the next 12

to 18 months due to AI.

AI is now able to do the work of a very, very smart human in minutes or even seconds.

This is going to displace marketers, coders, designers, lawyers, accountants, call center

workers.

You name it.

Of this is going to be an ever more extreme winner take all economy where the top 20%

or so are able to thrive and then the bottom 80% are left behind.

And when people lose their jobs, it affects dry cleaners, dog walkers, hair stylists,

restaurants, all local businesses that see less people who are able to spend personal

bankruptcies are going to surge college graduates, going to have a very difficult time finding

entry-level jobs.

People are going to be very, very angry by the fact that this path to middle-class status

and social mobility is going to be broken.

We should be doing much, much more, including a universal basic income.

The AI job apocalypse is real and it's underway right now.

All right, folks, yeah, a lot to going on right now, a lot to be concerned about.

We're going to go to break and just moment we're going to come back with the great Dr.

Merrill Nass, an incredible lady.

She was actually forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation by the government for warning people

about the COVID scam, truly incredible.

So she's been put through the ringer, but we're going to talk to her about the latest

on Jeffrey Epstein and the World Health Organization and much more.

Stay with us for that.

Before we go to break, we also want to encourage you to go check out classicalconversations.com.

If you have children or grandchildren that you love and you want them to get a real

education, that's a good place to start.

I actually have my own children enrolled there, incredible programs, incredible resources.

Now the largest home school material provider in the world, they got 140,000 students,

the biggest network out there.

And there's a reason why it's because they're doing amazing work.

So go check it out, classicalconversations.com forward slash LSM and stay with us.

We're going to be right back with more right here on the Sentinel Report.

Hey guys, Alex Newman here.

I want to tell you about a wonderful ministry that is doing incredibly important work.

That's public school exit.

I am very blessed to serve as the volunteer executive director.

We've got an incredible team and our mission is simple.

Try to get as many children into the safe sanctuary of Christian education as humanly

possible, as quickly as possible.

Government schools are no place for children.

Children need to learn about God.

They need to learn the word of God.

They need real education.

They need to learn how to read, write and do math.

And we all know that's not what's happening in the government schools.

In fact, what's happening is they're turning our children into revolutionaries, little

radicals ready to burn down our churches and our civilization, not to mention our families.

So go check it out today, publicschoolexit.com.

We've got all kinds of resources for parents, for pastors, for taxpayers, for everybody down

the line.

And folks, this is one of the most critical battles.

So go check out our partners at publicschoolexit.com, publicschoolexit.com.

Welcome back to the 7th and report, Alison, and your host here.

Folks, thanks for being with us.

Now, we are not going to stop talking about the pandemic, pandemic, scam, what ever you

want to call it.

There are still no criminals in jail for all of this.

And we're learning more about the real nature of pandemic preparedness and biosecurity

and biodefense from the Epstein files.

And we have joining us today, a very special guest, a woman who outcome to respect greatly.

Her name is Dr. Merrill Mass.

You probably remember her from the COVID pandemic.

They came after her like a pack of wild hyenas because she was exposing their lies and exposing

their scams.

She's an internist.

She's a biological warfare epidemiologist.

She has special interests in vaccine-induced illnesses, chronic fatigue, syndrome, go for illness.

She's a biological warfare expert, as I mentioned, she investigated the world's largest anthrax

epizuotic in Zimbabwe.

And she's been involved in a lot of different things.

She's active in assisting legal teams on defending anthrax vaccine refusers.

And she's done so much more, Dr. Nash, welcome to the program, thanks so much for joining

us today.

Hey, thank you very much for inviting me.

Absolutely.

It's an honor and a pleasure.

Merrill, I want to ask you about the Epstein files.

Now, we know that Epstein had a very serious interest in pandemic preparedness.

We know that it was close to a lot of the key pandemic preparedness people, like Bill

Gates.

We know that he got an invitation to attend a pandemic preparedness event at the World

Health Organization headquarters high level session in Geneva.

And we know that he was communicating with a lot of people about these very issues, genetically

engineered viruses, things like this.

You've been tracking a little bit of what's going on with Epstein, and of course you're

an expert on what happened to us during the COVID.

What do you make of all of this that's coming out?

Well, I think we don't have the, we don't have even anywhere near the full story on Epstein

yet.

I think that people should set aside their ideas about his sex, I mean, sex strapping

is terrible, especially of minors, and all of that is awful and needs to be investigated.

But right now, what is his role in terms of setting the agenda for the great reset

or the future that elites had in mind?

And it seems that he was intimately involved in cultivating great thinkers and as well

as experimental scientists at Harvard, at MIT, and at other places, bringing them sometimes

to the island, having special private conferences and trying to develop certain ideas about

eugenics, ideas that would only come out of brave new world, or things like that.

In addition to his work trying to maybe invent people, create dollies of human beings, seed

his own DNA into the human genome.

He was also instrumental in developing digital currencies and having Larry Summers do some

of the work on that, who apparently he was intimately involved with.

So as well as trying to change the currency in ways that we see, our elites are trying

to change the currency now.

You know, he did, he was, he just had his finger on a lot of pies.

He had a lot of money to do this with.

And although we know that, or it's alleged, and Lex Wexner agrees that he scammed him for

many millions of dollars, we know that he had 150 million plus from Leon Black, probably

through Blackmail.

But he really wasn't primarily a Blackmailer because he wouldn't have been able to be successful

if he, if he was making his money through Blackmail, the people would have dropped him,

you know, once the word got out, that that's what he was doing.

So he was making his money some other way, it may have been through the intelligence agencies

paying him.

He had enormous amounts of money to throw around.

He had, you know, these parties that people wanted, Elon Musk wanted to go, you know,

Nome Chomsky wanted to go to the island.

I mean, it's extraordinary that people who should have known better, Bannon, he Bannon

was a good buddy of his.

So people who ought to have known some of the things he was up to didn't have a problem

with him and were willing to use their brains to be in his, in his circle and help him to

develop these dystopian programs that would be applied to the rest of us.

Yeah, it's really, really troubling.

I want to go back to the World Health Organization and the pandemic.

There are rumors that more pandemics may be coming in the future and that the World Health

Organization needs to take the lead.

We saw what happened during COVID, in my opinion, a lot of crime happened during COVID.

Nobody has been held accountable yet.

I know you've worked with quite a few people within the federal government on various issues

involving these things.

What's the tie-in?

Do we need to have accountability for what they did to us during COVID to prevent something

like that in the future and do you think it's a risk that they would try something like

that again?

Yeah, I'm glad you asked me that question.

My personal opinion is that until you put people in jail, there's no accountability.

So for instance, we saw that viox, when Mark, Marketed Viox already knew it was causing

blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, etc.

And so did the FDA.

And FDA gave them the license in it.

We know we've got many examples over time of the FDA licensing drugs that are much more

harmful than they are useful.

And so the FDA in the past has been politically making decisions based on politics rather

than health.

Mark was willing because it was an effective pain killer to keep marketing viox and assume

that paying off claims was going to be the cost of doing business because nobody from

Mark ever had to go to jail for that or nor from the FDA.

Now it's been about 40 years since the CEO of a major pharmaceutical manufacturer has

actually been put in jail, maybe 50 years.

And so they feel that they can get away with pumping dangerous drugs and vaccines out.

Whatever they have to pay, it comes out of the company.

It doesn't come out of their pocket.

And meanwhile, they're doing well in the stock price is going up.

So I am a strong proponent that finds are not enough.

I was very disheartened to hear that Trump is going to let go of the issue of the auto

pen that they are not going to try to prosecute anyone or develop that case.

And saying what I read was that they couldn't find a statute that would be appropriate or applicable.

Well, you know, ask the Congress to pass a statute then that will be applicable because

you can't have anonymous people making because executive orders are laws.

You know, pardons are essentially they have the force of law and you can't have anonymous

people doing that.

And I mean, we don't have any version of democracy or a republic if anonymous people are making

the rules.

And okay, in terms of the WHO that I agree with you, they made a lot of terrible recommendations.

They call them recommendations, but many nations said we must we are obligated to follow

the WHO or in some cases we are obligated to follow NATO.

And the people don't know why nations were obligated to follow NATO or the WHO because

there's nothing in the law that we can see that obligates our countries to do that.

But it took responsibility all for our own lawmakers and and our, you know, presidents

and prime ministers.

And so people did follow the WHO, the WHO of course was the number one donor was Bill Gates

and he has been able to call a lot of the shots.

Well, Bill Gates was also donating tremendous amounts of money to Jeffrey Epstein to some

of that money went into the issue of genetically engineering microorganisms.

And some of it went into vaccine research to Jeffrey Epstein was very aware that to get

money out of Bill Gates, you should say that it has to do with vaccines and you're likely

to get the money.

Yeah, that's so true.

We're almost out of time in this segment, Merrill, but I want to ask you, what should Americans

be doing right now to try to bring about justice, try to bring accountability and to try

to protect themselves and their freedom in the future, right?

Based on what we know these evildoers may try again, how do we protect ourselves and

our liberties and our children?

Other great questions.

So we know that demonstrating in the streets really hasn't gotten us anywhere.

We know that petitions haven't done anything.

What can we do?

Our money is the most important thing.

Certainly when I was young, there was a movement led by Cesar Chavez not to buy grapes

because the grape pickers were being treated badly.

And that was effective when people stopped buying grapes and the companies growing grapes

and selling grapes could not make any money, things changed.

So it seems that as Charles Eisenstein has said in an article published today, what we,

if we're serious about making change, and I'm not sure that the American people are yet

because we feel disempowered, we don't know what to do or where to go.

But if we're serious, if we can boycott certain companies or take our, you know, what was

effective before about 50 years ago was demanding that institutions like universities and hospitals

take their retirement plans or their whatever money they had, their endowments and not

invest in South Africa, for example, and that had a big impact.

So if we can figure out, you know, how to get our money out of these companies, and it's

not easy because BlackRock owns about 7% of everything.

But if people can get together and those who know about this can figure out how the rest

of us can take our money out of certain corporations like those that make the highest profits,

which is pharmaceuticals, and the military industrial complex, maybe we can make a difference

certainly, you know, blowing up these huge oil facilities in Iran and in Haifa is making

a difference to the market right away, right?

The people who own oil companies, other oil companies may be very happy that the price

of oil has gone up, but for everybody else, the price of everything else is going up,

and they're not happy.

And that may put pressure on Trump to stop the war in Iran.

Yeah, very good.

Well, Merrill, you have a wonderful substack.

People can find that at merrillnass.substack.com.

Is there any other place where people can follow your work?

I know you're on children's health defense TV.

What's the best way for people to follow your work?

That's probably the best I have been throttled on X. So you won't find me there.

And I'm being throttled actually on substack at the moment, but do subscribe, and hopefully

substack will not throw you off the subscription list and re-subscribe if they do, and I thank

you very much.

Well, Merrill Nass.

Thank you very much for joining us today.

We really appreciate it.

We'll talk to you again soon.

And thanks again.

All right, folks.

Stay with us.

We're going to be right back with more after this quick break.

Life's just better with VNI.

There's purpose, there's passion, and there's a renewed sense of inspiration and optimism

with every day.

After all, we were founded on the power of possibility.

Nearly a decade ago, a team of world-class scientists, formulators and industry makers brought

together biology, chemistry, and technology.

And created something unique and life-changing.

We're increasing a new sense of health and hope into the world.

With every product comes an empowering opportunity to take charge of our destiny.

One where we feel rejuvenated and energized, and everything else around us feels lighter,

brighter, and more of promise.

Let's live victoriously.

Together.

Welcome back to the Southern Report.

Alex, I'm your host here.

Thanks for being with us, folks.

Obviously, a big divide has broken out in the MAGA movement.

Iran, the war in Iran, of course, being just one of several issues.

People have expressed concern also about the board of peace.

Is this some new and improved form of globalism?

Or is this the end of globalism?

And honestly, a lot of his voters are confused.

Some of his early major supporters who are extremely influential among conservatives,

whether we like it or not, have really been at odds with the president over some of what's

going on.

Charlie Kirk, of course, was famously opposed to a war in Iraq.

Tucker Carlson is now really on the war path.

No pun intended about this war in Iran.

And so joining us today to discuss all of this and much more.

We have a friend of the show, co-founder of Armor of Truth, Brad Ward.

He is an analyst.

He's a Christian.

He has been on before.

He's a cultural apologist.

And I just love their ministry, Armor of Truth, it's a nonprofit Christian media organization.

And of course, they're dedicated to the Great Commission as we are here, dedicated to

defending the Christian worldview, the biblical worldview in the public square.

And they're doing a wonderful job over at ArmorofTruth.substac.com.

I encourage you to go over there and check it out.

Subscribe.

There's really, really good updates on all the critical issues of the day.

His wife Summer also works with him on this and they're just doing a great job.

Brad, welcome to the program.

Thank you very much for joining us today.

Thanks for having us, Alec.

Of course.

I'm honored and a pleasure to have you.

Brad, so you have focused recently on this divide in MAGA world.

In fact, you have a great post from the end of last month, not Iraq 2.0.

The U.S.E. Ron striked the board of peace and the end of the old empire.

What's your take on all of this?

Is Trump kind of going back on this campaign promises or some of the people in his base

right to be upset with him?

We think, no, we think Trump is not going back on this campaign promises, but instead

rather moving forward the agenda that he had the opportunity to perfect, I guess we'll

say, over the four years when he was out of office.

We like to say that it was God's providence that he was out for four years because he

gave him that much time to figure out a little bit more about how things work right there

against in the swamp.

But what we see is among the base, a division of those, as you mentioned, those who are upset

because it looks like we're in a forever war.

We're doing regime change again, but I think there's a fundamental difference that we need

to pay attention to.

A couple really.

The lens we use to evaluate it.

If we're talking about the George Bush administration, I hear you.

I agree.

But Bush was brought into a little different plan, and Trump's agenda mentioned in the national

security strategy and the national defense strategy, and you hear the rhetoric coming

out of the administration all the time, is that it's a return to sovereignty.

And really, that's really the theme of how we're approaching this is a return to sovereignty

and empowerment of the American people now specifically about the war, about, excuse me,

about Iran.

I think the question isn't whether America uses power, but whether that power is being

used to build empire as the Bush administration was working in conjunction with perhaps other

globalists to do, or whether he's working to restore sovereignty and stability.

And I'll leave it there for now and let you ask more questions.

But I think that's how we need to pay attention to the lens we're using to, we need to evaluate

this administration according to its stated policies and then their actions.

And I think that's a good way to go about it.

So you think the outcome of this conflict in Iran may be a more stable Middle East by

the time all is set and done, rather than a long-term US occupation costing trillions

of dollars and looks amounts of American lives.

That remains to be seen, of course.

Now, of course, regime change is obviously an element of this, but I don't think it's

nation-building like we saw under previous regimes.

Again, the stated policies and their adherence to them up to this point.

I think we should hold them accountable to that.

If we see NGOs coming into Iran, that would be a problem.

Palavi may be a good person for a transition, but he hasn't lived there.

He shouldn't be the guy who runs things.

Trump mentioned, as Summer said in the article, he specifically said to the Iranian people,

take over your government, it will be yours to take.

So that signals the construction of a new regime, but not the construction of a new regime,

but the refusal to impose one, at least that was Trump's position.

Now there are clearly problems.

We have a nation of 90 million, right?

So to affect some kind of, or to prevent that from going haywire is going to be difficult.

That remains to be seen, but with the board of peace and its foundation, its goals, which

is also sovereignty.

If you listen to their first meeting as a strong emphasis on sovereignty, they probably

will play a big role in that.

I mean, that's what I expect to see.

So I don't think it would be just chaos there.

I think there is a plan in place, and I think perhaps Trump has earned some, you know,

the benefit of the doubt when it comes to something like this.

Now I would hope that the base would maybe use this new lens and hold them accountable

to that national security strategy.

Again, if we see NGOs coming in there, and this looks like, you know, they just remove

everyone from government and don't use their people, then we can hold them accountable

to that.

So Brad, we've all got a few minutes left.

I do want to ask about the board of peace.

I haven't said much about this publicly because I'm still trying to make sense of it.

It's a very new thing, you know, first that people are talking about it as a possible

rival to the UN, and something that may replace the UN later.

We heard Trump himself talking about how it might help improve the UN.

There's still obviously a lot of questions.

Some governments have joined, and I still don't know what to make of it, but I would love

to hear your take.

How do we make sense of this new institution?

What should be the role of the U.S. government in an institution like this, and you think it

can improve the world, I suppose?

Again, their stated goals seem good.

Again, as I said earlier, one of their goals is sovereignty.

So let's take Gaza, for example.

What they've stated that they will do there is they will build up an infrastructure, law

enforcement, basically what you heard from that first meeting was, you want to set up

a situation here where the people who live here can come back or the ones who are still

there can work and lift themselves up through an economy.

And then in 10 years' time, the goal is to return this over to the people.

Now, if that was to remain true, that would be an excellent thing to see.

So another thing about the Board of Peace, you see a lot of language.

I've heard people from our side say, this is just another United Nations.

They use the term sustainable development, but they define it very differently.

It's just what I said.

They mean sustainable by setting up an economic system, helping to get, you know, grease the

wheels, to prime the pump, so that the people who live here have an opportunity to lift

themselves up, they have a sovereign nation.

And I think that's good.

So far, it's really about removing the last engine of perpetual regional conflict, that

summer's written in the article.

So a new architecture of stability and development can take root instead of exporting regime change

it seeks to end the system that profited from chaos in the first place.

So I think that's that's how we're thinking about it right now.

We hope to hold them accountable to these promises.

Yeah.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see where this goes.

Obviously, a lot of questions and a lot of infighting now in the MAGA movement.

So hopefully we'll see some clarity soon.

But folks, I do want to recommend that you get over to the to check out their substack.

It's armor of truth dot substack dot com.

They're also on YouTube doing really great work.

You find it at armor of truth.
