Peace Through Strength or Peace Through Escalation? NATO, Ukraine Power Blackouts, and the Dollar-War Machine Behind It Today · International Flavor: Where the Truth Tastes Better

• 0:00
  Doesn't that song to get y'all jazzed up for a nice Wednesday morning the biggest day in radio
• 0:07
  history takes place every single Wednesday on damn radio and here I am to kick it off.
• 0:18
  Rather exciting business here. If you feel like calling in please do 573-746-8020. I'm coming to
• 0:25
  you live from the lake Ozark real estate of the art studio. You can always listen to us live at
• 0:31
  damn radio.com forward slash live. They have great music. I was just listening to the proclaimers
• 0:35
  and frankly I was singing along. I almost turned on the microphones. You could hear me yelling those
• 0:40
  data that does but I didn't do that. I thought that would be bad taste. However, I used to do
• 0:46
  that song in karaoke rather frequently. I was a karaoke artiste. You know that's how it goes
• 0:53
  in these world. This world of trouble and gloom when passing ruffians can say me at will to old
• 0:59
  women. So there you have it. I had some topics I want to talk about but I got distracted
• 1:07
  and there's several things. I've been up since 3 30 so yeah I'm kicked off here. I'm all jacked
• 1:13
  up on caffeine and excitement. I'm building some things and you know sometimes it takes a little
• 1:21
  while to get excited about some stuff and you finally get past all the hard work and serious
• 1:27
  labor and serious research and you round the bend and you see some things that are just frankly
• 1:35
  beautiful. I have two of those projects going on right now so I'm going to talk about them
• 1:41
  a little bit. Not very much. Then I'm going to get into some snippy snip snip because I'm a snippy
• 1:48
  snippy sort of guy and I tell it like it is or at least how I think it is. You may take it. You
• 1:57
  may convince me of something else. I like this motion by the way. I saw this stuff about ice
• 2:02
  agent body cameras. I think that needs to happen. I'm a huge fan of law enforcement wearing body
• 2:11
  cameras. You know it was always funny to me when practicing law and you'd request the audio that
• 2:19
  allegedly happened or the dash cam video and or the or the body camera of the officer doing and
• 2:27
  you know if it was the evidence was strong and in the favor of the police officer it was no
• 2:32
  problem to get it but if it was questionable I can't tell you how many times like oh geez sir
• 2:38
  the body cam wasn't working then why the hell you wearing it if it doesn't work or the dash cam
• 2:44
  videos not operating yeah why is that you you act like you don't have enough money to keep your your
• 2:49
  your stuff up to date it would really piss me off and but it's never ever ever a
• 2:57
  how do you want to put it it's never ever a presumption that the evidence that would have
• 3:03
  been is against the officer in those cases that is merely a uh you know a glitch in a system too
• 3:12
  big for a bureaucrat to fix right oh gee you know we have these problems and we don't have the
• 3:18
  budget for that kind of thing just because last year they asked for a 10 increase and they only
• 3:23
  got five you know that is how they justify not doing any work I got some hilarious I already
• 3:30
  told you about the the the ridiculous uh letter that we got back from um alcohol tobacco control
• 3:38
  demanding 300 well offering to provide documents in 44 and a half years at a cost of 390 something
• 3:47
  thousand dollars or something like that and they said well we're just understaffed and we can't do
• 3:53
  anything and they haven't even responded they haven't done anything except send this letter
• 3:57
  send us 300 000 at 400 almost and say uh well geez we just don't have the staff for that
• 4:03
  oh yeah you know you have no problem charging you know four or five thousand dollars to produce
• 4:09
  3 500 pages of documents as if it was all that hard to get and charging legal fees illegally
• 4:16
  by the way which you can't do but you have no problem doing any of those things and uh you know
• 4:22
  it's anyway I I didn't intend to go there today that wasn't the intent of my show I have other
• 4:29
  things to talk about and uh I I do want to talk about those things and I intend to talk about those
• 4:34
  things but I got distracted and uh listen to this comical here we go this is some people will love
• 4:43
  this some people go yeah some people just get all excited and if I was if I was a uh let's go to war
• 4:49
  sort of guy which apparently hegseth is you know he wants to be the commander of war you know or
• 4:55
  whatever secretary of war it's all about war you know peace through strength yeah right peace
• 5:01
  through strength peace through strength peace through let me kick your ass and then come back
• 5:06
  and say and have you make a deal with me so don't don't tell me this is peace initiatives it
• 5:12
  absolutely isn't and so listen to his uh it's not comical but it's uh predictable let's put it that
• 5:19
  let's see if make sure we get it all because he met with ruta uh who's the the head of nato and
• 5:25
  he's not too bright either but you know there you go we're trying to get on the same page and they
• 5:30
  want to escalate and I think they've been finally convinced that it's time to escalate and we got to
• 5:36
  go to war that that war will occur if you go on this path we will be sucked into a war and this
• 5:44
  i believe is certainly what the lindsey grahams of the world want certainly what what hegseth
• 5:51
  appears to want now it's absolutely what europe wants and so it seems to be a bit of a change
• 6:00
  in posture they go from oh geez we're the president of peace in fact he tries to twist it and say we
• 6:06
  are the president of peace but he's talking war the whole way listen to this you don't have to
• 6:10
  agree with me you know that's totally fine you can say oh no he's doing something else we've got
• 6:15
  to be stronger you know no no no no no we the only reason they're going to do this is because
• 6:20
  they have ultimate plans to seize greenland and they're trying to sell it in a way that makes it
• 6:26
  makes it uh palatable to uh the europeans to the to the danes you know to to the the greenlanders
• 6:34
  they don't give a shit about them they could care less what people from greenland think
• 6:39
  we need it sorry just like the american indian screw you guys this is our land that's it and i'm
• 6:46
  not one of those people you know history is history but now we're creating our own history
• 6:51
  and we're here this is us this is this is and you know people object when i say this is us this is
• 6:57
  america this is today's america and i'm totally pro-america but i'm totally anti let's create
• 7:05
  wars that otherwise don't exist peace through strength is a misnomer it is not a uh it is a
• 7:12
  propagandist uh complex i don't i i i agree and walk softly and carry a big stick i agree with
• 7:20
  that but i don't believe in creating wars or escalating wars because for false reasons and
• 7:29
  these are false reasons okay we have nothing to do with ukraine nor should we this is something
• 7:36
  that has been going on for several hundred years in eastern europe it's a shit show over there and
• 7:44
  has been for centuries not decades centuries okay for a very long time we're talking let's talk
• 7:53
  about 800 a.d go from there all right it's a shit show and we don't belong in fact i would argue
• 8:03
  the americans who are leaving england and leaving europe and going away for a sec was trying to get
• 8:08
  away from some of that crap now they they took advantage of the the indians over here there's
• 8:13
  estimates they killed millions upon millions upon millions i can't remember the exact number that
• 8:18
  somebody estimated one time but they said over the over the course of america's you know of the
• 8:23
  current america's destruction of the indian cultures hundreds of millions the population
• 8:33
  here was was extremely large and you know they're obviously gone down quite small i'm not but that's
• 8:42
  history we can't do anything about that all we can do is affect what's here today but i'm afraid
• 8:47
  that we're creating a similar sort of history in a place where we don't belong and which is what our
• 8:54
  forefathers were trying to get out of okay and the bs that oh gee america won world war ii my ass
• 9:02
  we were participants but it wasn't us you know everybody it's easy to say jesus wasn't for us
• 9:09
  you guys be speaking german that ain't true what partially true but it ain't the end of the story
• 9:15
  and if you don't understand that you got a problem so anyway let's with all that in mind let's listen
• 9:21
  to the glorious the glorious commander the glorious the glorious fox news host and i you know i always
• 9:30
  liked the guy i thought he was funny and he's well spoken but he's driving a train toward war he's not
• 9:37
  driving a pain a train to maintain peace he's driving a train of war and he's loving every
• 9:44
  second of it okay and here here we go ready it's great to see you great to see you absolutely
• 9:50
  great to be here uh and mark mentioned it firepower that's what uh is coming we expect it is coming
• 9:57
  from nato uh and it was a historic summit just a couple of months ago brought about by leadership
• 10:03
  of president trump to say we need our allies to step up and and they did and they have in those
• 10:08
  commitments now those commitments will soon translate into capabilities which is the most
• 10:14
  important aspect of it and one part of that of course is pearl is the initiative where
• 10:20
  european countries buy u.s weapons transfer to nato for the fight in ukraine to bring peace to that
• 10:27
  conflict and if there's anything we've learned under president trump is the active application
• 10:33
  of peace through strength you get peace when you are strong not when you use strong words or
• 10:41
  wag your finger you get it when you have strong and real capabilities that adversaries respect
• 10:47
  but also note a historic moment as well for a lot of things to happen given what the president's
• 10:52
  been able to do in gaza and throughout the middle east i think the world is seeing that we have a
• 10:56
  peace president who seeks that peace through standing by those that stand with the united
• 11:01
  states and stand for peace uh which is what we saw there and i hope we can see in ukraine
• 11:05
  so i point out a couple of falsehoods right there um number one the gaza i would say is a
• 11:13
  shit show too um now i'm not i'm not there but i'm telling you there is an alternative uh argument
• 11:21
  to be said there and that is not peace okay that's not peace and saying that that our and
• 11:29
  and by the way what does he never qualified anything okay never said anything about how
• 11:38
  america is involved in ukraine is there any sort of agreement is there any sort of in what it is
• 11:45
  it's the exact same thing with venezuela which i'm completely against all we're doing is going
• 11:50
  in and seizing resources that is the point of all of this all they want are resources they
• 11:57
  got to go and you know they're there so they're going to escalate that was escalatory language
• 12:03
  that was not peace language okay and and i am i am definitely against the best thing that could
• 12:09
  have happened is what did happen for about two three days early in 2025 they cut off quit funding
• 12:19
  ukraine now the only and you can argue that oh gee nato is now going to buy all of these things
• 12:26
  because nato is stepping up to five percent and it's not us they're trying to have deniability
• 12:31
  it's not us providing weapons that are bombing u.s you know u.s weapons used to bomb homes in
• 12:38
  russia it's nato bought those from us nato bought those it's not a u.s thing it's a nato thing
• 12:45
  they're they're they're nitpicking to try to get there okay and so there's that audio video i want
• 12:52
  to play one more for you but before we do that let's share this with you um here's a story from
• 12:59
  uh where where where where where are we going let's get the date on this fourth february
• 13:05
  high mars rockets u.s u.s rockets were used in cross-border strikes on bryansk
• 13:14
  the bryansk region of russia which is across from sumi across from kharkiv
• 13:19
  in that area ukrainian forces struck residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in russia's
• 13:24
  bryansk region using u.s made high mars multiple launch rocket systems said governor alexander
• 13:31
  bogomas uh wednesday a woman seriously injured in the attacks and hospitalized ukrainian forces
• 13:36
  deployed domestically produced neptune missiles and jet-powered kamikaze drones in the strikes
• 13:42
  also said the regional governor the russian defense ministry earlier reported intercepting
• 13:47
  11 drones over bryansk overnight said a total of 24 ukrainian fixed-wing uavs were shot down
• 13:53
  with bryansk the most heavily targeted area cross-border attacks continue ahead of u.s-backed
• 14:00
  talks in abu dhabi which are supposed to start uh either today and tomorrow or tomorrow the next day
• 14:04
  don't remember it's two days this week but but i believe it's uh thursday and friday could be
• 14:10
  starting as early as today or have already they would have already occurred then because it's
• 14:14
  eight hours ahead over there anyway last week moscow agreed to temporarily suspend strikes on
• 14:18
  ukrainian energy infrastructure which russian military uh says disrupts the production of
• 14:23
  weapons to be used against ukraine of course hegsas wants to now supply them through nato
• 14:27
  and says well as long as nato's paying for it we don't give a rip which is fine fine fine fine
• 14:33
  but in many instances they say u.s weapons can't be used to send remember that big debate
• 14:38
  that they were talking about you know storm shadows for for uh is it france that makes
• 14:43
  a storm shadow i forget but it might be england i don't remember but i think it's france
• 14:47
  saying uh you know those storm shadows being sent into russia are like uh since they can't be
• 14:53
  targeted since you can't target him without without u.s uh intelligence u.s targeting power
• 14:59
  and u.s oversight that or i'm sorry french oversight in that instance then it can't be
• 15:04
  the high mars same deal okay so if you're starting to send icbm type of missiles or you're sending uh
• 15:11
  you know ballistic missiles of any kind then those have to be targeted using u.s intelligence and all
• 15:17
  that stuff if it's u.s stuff and with the u.s crew in putting the targeting capacities in there so
• 15:24
  cross-border attacks uh continued last week russia blah blah blah blah the unilateral pause
• 15:29
  requested by trump was meant to build goodwill and uh trump and putin did it putin kept his word
• 15:35
  uh according to trump we'll share that with you in a minute russian president putin kept his word
• 15:39
  trump told reporters confirming that the pause lasted from sunday to sunday
• 15:43
  but zelensky says russia didn't keep their word for a week the week-long sunday to sunday and after
• 15:53
  ukraine canceled the next round which were supposed to take place over this past weekend
• 15:58
  russia started bombing again because the whole point is trying to get russia to agree to a ceasefire
• 16:04
  to get that that's the entire point the strategic strategy is to get it set up so that
• 16:12
  a ceasefire occurs which gives ukraine time to rebuild and put all these new weapons on the
• 16:18
  front lines to stop the advance of the russians which has taken place back in october november
• 16:24
  what were we talking about pokrovsk and uh mir nagrad those two cities those two cities are now
• 16:31
  long gone and those two cities are completely gone and russia is still pushing further west
• 16:37
  in zaporozhye and and they're doing it it's happening and they have gained another 10 20
• 16:42
  kilometers along the entire front line uh since that time and russia is advancing they don't
• 16:49
  report about it anywhere over here you know it's hard to get anything truthful over here about any
• 16:54
  of it but now ruta and all of the europeans are still very much uh for upping the ante here
• 17:02
  and providing ukraine more and more missiles they don't have any men and they're trying hard to get
• 17:07
  more men but they don't have any so they just want to have guys sitting in bunkers uh sending over
• 17:12
  drones and missiles into russia that's what's happening now i'm not saying that russia is
• 17:17
  not doing the same thing but russia's been doing that for a while they in in the war is over these
• 17:23
  areas right here okay and uh the the ukrainians aren't trying to stop the advance they're trying
• 17:31
  to torment the rear they're trying to uh their philosophy this is a nonsensical stupid philosophy
• 17:38
  well our people are suffering over here so therefore we need to bomb deep inside of russia
• 17:45
  and make the people suffer over there there's no electricity in ukraine which i'll share with you
• 17:51
  in a minute and so therefore that's what we should do inside of russia but you're not defending your
• 17:56
  own territories that you want to take you're pretending that you are just attacking the other
• 18:03
  side if you spent more time focusing on defending your front line maybe you wouldn't have lost it
• 18:09
  in the first place if you hadn't taken your stupid ass into uh uh what the heck's the name of that
• 18:15
  place uh belgrade area up there kursk if you hadn't gone into there then you wouldn't have
• 18:22
  lost four or five months worth in 65 70 000 men in a failed attempt to be cute and to show the other
• 18:31
  the rest of the world that hey we can defend greenland for you you can't defend your own
• 18:36
  freaking country how the hell are you going to defend greenland this is nonsense and the war
• 18:40
  needs to end don't act like i want this to continue i do not i want it over but this is bs and it's bs
• 18:47
  what hex says said and he and he took my topic away from me this morning although it did have some to
• 18:53
  do with it but i saw what he was posting out there it's like oh my god we got to play this from this
• 18:57
  nut job and uh you know i suppose i twisted on him i twisted i was always on the fence about rubio
• 19:07
  right but rubio's totally clear now he's he's uh uh what do you call it he's the old guard republican
• 19:15
  neocon that's him and it appears hegseth is the same they want their wars they want their
• 19:21
  their military industrial complex they want their big pentagon that's what they want now i'm
• 19:27
  actually i'm a military veteran i am not against that philosophy but i am against the same thing
• 19:35
  we've been doing for 50 years well longer 80 since world war ii where it's regime change and
• 19:41
  all that crap i am totally anti that that is no way to run a country and what we are doing the the
• 19:49
  the i don't want to call it the collapse of the dollar that's probably too brutal
• 19:52
  but the collapse of the debt structure of america telling you what it's imminent and there are
• 19:58
  people claiming and i had a decent discussion with uh with a family member on this day of the day
• 20:03
  about uh uh it could be true that trump does get rid of the debt by the end of his term bs i say no
• 20:12
  matter how you slice it and and i'd love to be proven wrong but i don't see it that way i don't
• 20:17
  see it that way not at all and uh and good luck with that theory you know if you as we get closer
• 20:23
  and closer you know i'll be happy to admit i'm wrong and here i am saying i i i don't believe
• 20:28
  that is that is the case i believe it's going to be much worse for us everywhere most many many
• 20:35
  many countries are now trying to use their own currencies and not the dollar to buy things and
• 20:42
  it's not just bricks it isn't just bricks and responding with force like venezuela because
• 20:51
  china and venezuela were dealing with the yuan and china had a hundred billion dollars in there
• 20:58
  it's uh and it is supporting what infrastructure oil and all that other stuff this is what the fight
• 21:05
  this is the classic fight over resources so we're supposedly looking inward to try to defend america
• 21:11
  and do the but we're not looking inward we still wish to control the world through finance it ain't
• 21:17
  gonna work forever and and the rise of china is an economic an economic victory it appears to me
• 21:24
  now i'm not saying i want that you know but i'm not saying that trump might not even be doing things
• 21:29
  the right way i'm against the methods i'm against that if you want to do it as far as trade and you
• 21:35
  want to do something with trade fine but force and militarization and stealing people's resources
• 21:41
  under false pretenses when's the last now what have we heard since he took uh venezuela we heard
• 21:47
  anything about narco terrorism we heard anything about any of that lie that took place for several
• 21:52
  months we seen any more bombs getting blown or boats getting blown up nope nope nope you know
• 22:00
  those say well we proved our point narco terrorism got us in the door and now we've stolen the oil
• 22:05
  and which is all we really want in the first place which was admitted the next day all we really
• 22:10
  want it is the oil because our refineries along the gulf coast are are are are uh empty and they
• 22:18
  can only run on that sweet crude that comes from uh from venezuela nonsense this whole this this
• 22:23
  whole thing and i'm rambling here but i'm definitely against this thought processes and i
• 22:29
  don't like it i don't like it and as an american you shouldn't like it it's bs so i want to say
• 22:35
  send for you uh let's talk about ukraine a little bit more i got another uh i'm gonna share it with
• 22:42
  you because it's better than me just paraphrasing what he said i'm gonna play the first few minutes
• 22:47
  of uh another one that i watched last night everybody knows i follow um a couple of people
• 22:54
  alex cristoforo for one and then uh i follow as well the military summary channel and it was
• 23:03
  interesting last night how that went and i want to get back to there and maybe share the first um
• 23:12
  the first little bit with you and see if it uh it can uh uh enlighten you a little bit about what
• 23:22
  how how it's really going on in uh in ukraine so i want to start with uh uh putting that
• 23:33
  information out to you but i'm not gonna say it i'll let this guy say it because i think he did
• 23:38
  a pretty good job and i'll listen along with you uh it's the whole video is like 25 minutes we're
• 23:43
  only gonna listen to like five ten minutes of it and it's and it's about power outages in ukraine
• 23:49
  it's about um infrastructure bombarding in ukraine it's about um russia trying to end
• 23:56
  this war and and what they are trying to do you know it's it's uh here's here's your piece through
• 24:02
  strength hegseth is going to come in and try to increase up the anti here ukrainians are tired
• 24:09
  ukrainians are cold ukrainians don't have any power and if they think you know if they think
• 24:15
  that that nato is going to come and save them i don't think that we have the the desire the man
• 24:23
  power the the the the peoples of europe are tired of this americans tired of it now that they know
• 24:32
  the truth of it most of us have become well wait a minute you know the russians had a good argument
• 24:37
  in the first place why in the world are we still doing this and why don't doesn't somebody the
• 24:43
  wrong answer is to escalate the right answer is to capitulate and say east of the dnepr that's
• 24:50
  always been russian anyway and and it's that's just how it is you know the fact that stalin
• 24:56
  gave it to us or khrushchev added to it back in the 50s is not the issue it's always been
• 25:04
  russian speaking russian dominant to huge percentages west of the dnepr kind of the
• 25:12
  opposite although there's still many many many hundreds of thousands of russian and russian
• 25:17
  native speakers and all of that stuff but if once once you get east of the dnepr it's always been
• 25:22
  russia and it's always been russian uh valiki rus as they say which included some ukrainian you know
• 25:30
  on the edge and on all that stuff but that that's anyway let's not go into ancient history on this
• 25:36
  let us add what we can but to see what the ukrainians are going through right now okay as
• 25:43
  this was uh from last night which meant it was it was eight hours ahead which put it just at the
• 25:50
  end of the uh it came out yesterday about uh this was two three of 2026 came out this would be the
• 25:58
  afternoon one so it was overnight bombings overnight bombings and events in kiev and and
• 26:05
  other parts of ukraine uh power structure specifically let's listen in and first of all
• 26:13
  and once again we're going to talk about the russian attack that took place between the second
• 26:18
  and the third of february of 2026 the russians used hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles
• 26:24
  attack objects of energy infrastructure through ukraine and as we discussed during the previous
• 26:29
  video this map was published by pro-ukrainian sources and here we can see the approximate
• 26:34
  routes of what exactly the russians were attacking so the russians were attacking during
• 26:39
  the entire night that was a very long attack the russians attacked the city of kiev the vinnitsa
• 26:45
  region the russians attacked the city of odessa the russians attacked the regions of dnipro and
• 26:50
  zaporozhye and the russians attacked the cities of kharkiv and the city of sumy so lots of
• 26:56
  explosions the russians deal significant damage and the most important thing is that as a result
• 27:00
  of this attack the russians most likely managed to destroy up to three power stations so once
• 27:07
  again during the morning we received first reports first updates on this matter but we had reports
• 27:13
  just on the matter of how many missiles the russians used to attack this or that object of
• 27:19
  energy infrastructure but this evening we received more details about this attack so let's discuss
• 27:24
  everything in details and first let's start with the city of kiev because the russians
• 27:29
  as a result of this massive attack destroyed another power station so this is the city of
• 27:36
  kiev and once again to understand everything we need to see and we need to understand
• 27:40
  the power stations that the city of kiev has first of all this is the north eastern power
• 27:45
  station the power station number six this power station was destroyed between the 20s and the 23rd
• 27:51
  of january also we have the power station in the eastern part of the city this is power station
• 27:58
  number four and the russians attacked this power station today during the previous night we have
• 28:03
  the third power station in the southern part of the city this is power station number five
• 28:08
  and we have a heating house in the central part of the city of kiev that ukrainians used to support
• 28:15
  homes with heats with water and so on so three power station and one boiler house so the russians
• 28:25
  attacked during the night just two power stations the power station number four and the power station
• 28:30
  number five so during the morning we received numbers so according to information we have
• 28:36
  during this massive attack the russians launched just two iskander missiles to attack the kiev four
• 28:42
  power plant but later more precisely uh somewhere at noon time pro-ukrainian sources published this
• 28:49
  and here we can see mark ruta air defense system that didn't help ukrainians during the previous
• 28:56
  night he he arrived in this area and the minister of energy showed the destruction of one of the
• 29:02
  thermal power plants in kiev he arrived at the facility along with nato secretary general ruta
• 29:07
  later this power station was geolocated and according to information we have this is the
• 29:14
  force power plant and as you can see according to this video this power plant was completely
• 29:20
  destroyed as a result of russian attack so based on this video based on this report we are not going
• 29:25
  to adjust anything we just will note that the power station was completely destroyed without
• 29:31
  any chances to repair it it's probably much more easier to build a new one so these power stations
• 29:39
  was destroyed during the night between the 2nd and the 3rd of february but if we increase the
• 29:46
  numbers of updates since the beginning of january we need to discuss the situation around the power
• 29:53
  station number six as i told you minutes ago this power station was destroyed as well so for example
• 30:00
  this satellite picture was published on the on january 25th and according to the satellite
• 30:06
  um picture i know this is a little bit on the long side uh but and he's showing these the
• 30:13
  destruction of the power plant these power plants are gone they they are destroyed they will not be
• 30:21
  rebuilding these in or re re repairing or refurbishing or or whatever over the the next
• 30:30
  month or so these will take years to rebuild they are the mayor is showing him some some video as
• 30:38
  you go as you and by the way uh this um this channel is military summary channel and and i'm
• 30:44
  probably a little obsessive about this and i try to once or twice a week get on and and figure out
• 30:50
  what it is but i i think it's important because americans don't realize what is going on in
• 30:57
  ukraine this is real war this is hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people dying and hundreds
• 31:04
  of thousands of people suffering and ukraine being abandoned for the next generations they've lost
• 31:10
  entire generation and they're gonna lose another one and uh they're not gonna win this war it's
• 31:16
  not gonna happen and i mean i suppose we could all escalate in which everybody loses we can all join
• 31:22
  in the losses but this war is over already and somebody needs to realize it and be done with it
• 31:29
  capitulation is the only real sensible strategy and i'm sorry i'm rambling again but let's get back to
• 31:36
  the suffering that's going on in kiev right now and and by the way after this they go into the
• 31:43
  nepa region nepra petrovsk and i believe into also zaparizhia areas as well this is not just
• 31:49
  one city they did it the same in odessa they are destroying all the power plants and it is
• 31:53
  freaking cold over there this week it's going to be lower than zero under zero the temperatures are
• 32:00
  going to be brutally cold and there's no heat no water no electricity none and so well that's that's
• 32:07
  not true you two three hours a day if you're lucky and they're trying to reroute power from uh
• 32:13
  nuclear power stations in eastern europe but you know it's still intermittent what they're getting
• 32:19
  let us proceed no hot production thermal power plants went into lockdown so this article was
• 32:28
  published on the 25th and furthermore for example this is the difference differences between different
• 32:36
  pictures between the dates this is the picture um between the 24th and the 20s of january so as you
• 32:45
  can see uh as a result of attack between these days we can see that the russians attacked this
• 32:51
  building this construction so this construction was damaged by russians and for example this
• 32:56
  video shows the difference between uh the 16th of january and the 21st of january so according to
• 33:03
  this video the russians attacked this southern construction so and let's say we received this
• 33:09
  video published by pro-ukrainian sources and here we can see according to the author of this video
• 33:13
  the consequences of russian attack on the power station number six as you can see this power
• 33:19
  station is also completely destroyed so summarizing everything we can make a conclusion that by the
• 33:26
  end of the 3rd of february the russians destroyed have destroyed two power stations of the city of
• 33:32
  kiev and this is a very big and a very huge problem for ukraine and for the ukrainians and
• 33:38
  for the citizens of the city of kiev as for the most southern power station this is the power
• 33:44
  station number five during the previous nights we received the report that russians attacked this
• 33:50
  power station with at least four iskander missiles but as of the end of the 3rd of february of 2026
• 33:56
  we haven't received anything additional we haven't received any video from this area where we can see
• 34:02
  whether the plant was destroyed or not and we don't have and what he means by that is he likes
• 34:08
  to confirm the damage that he brings up this guy the reason i like him is he does take ukrainian
• 34:15
  sources russian sources all the video that he provides is geolocated video or if it's not he
• 34:22
  says so but that's pretty rare all of them are geolocated and show the actual happenings on the
• 34:27
  ground this is one of the guys who who helped show that zelensky was full of crap and was putting
• 34:32
  ai videos up that weren't even real that were stuff that the geolocation was correct but the
• 34:38
  time was different like months and months previously after ukraine had been run off
• 34:43
  from certain places i forget what city they were talking about i think uh uh up in the north of
• 34:49
  northeast um was it i don't know was it mir nagrada i don't remember but it doesn't matter
• 34:55
  um he he does a lot of these sorts of videos and the two other power stations one of them
• 35:01
  mark ruda toured with the mayor of uh of kiev and the other one uh they have videos also with the
• 35:07
  mayor of kiev in the in there shown on tv in ukraine and they're saying look there's not
• 35:12
  going to be any power because this so he backs them up and that's why i like listen to this guy
• 35:17
  because this isn't just a russian uh whatever you want to call it a russian glorified uh glorifying
• 35:23
  channel i mean ukraine has plenty of ukrainian glorification channels russia has its you know
• 35:29
  that tells its side of the story i have mine and i like to sit somewhere in the middle although i
• 35:33
  am a realist and ukraine was never going to win this war it was never going to happen the u.s might
• 35:38
  win it if they got in but i doubt even that we don't have the spirit for it we don't have the
• 35:43
  desire to get involved in that sort of crap and we shouldn't even if if uh hegseth is trying to push
• 35:49
  that now and trying to get the coalition of the willing to send over send over troops as bs
• 35:56
  and to uh use force against putin bad plan friends and neighbors bad plan you want escalation that's
• 36:04
  one way to get it and so let's continue with this because there's still about four or five more
• 36:08
  minutes home because i want him to get on to the dnepropetrovsk region as well that's like pictures
• 36:13
  that can confirm that the power station was completely destroyed if we increase the numbers
• 36:17
  of updates since the beginning of january uh here we can see uh the report that was published on the
• 36:23
  25th of january of 2026 and according to this report on the 25th of january the plant was
• 36:30
  working so which means that the power plants still operates and that probably this is the
• 36:36
  only power station that currently can supply and support the city of kiev as for the let's say
• 36:44
  boiler house as of the previous night we don't know for sure whether the russians were attacking
• 36:49
  this territory or not but during the nights we didn't have any report that the russians were
• 36:54
  attacking this territory so once again there were three power stations and now we see that two of
• 37:00
  them were completely destroyed and there is another important object of energy infrastructure
• 37:05
  and we are talking about this uk kiev 750 electricial substation so according to
• 37:14
  different sources according to independent experts the russians during the previous night attacked
• 37:19
  this uh substation with 12 32 missiles and two circons missiles but as you can see during the
• 37:27
  day we haven't received anything and due to the fact that there is not there is no total blackout
• 37:32
  on the territory of the city of kiev this means that most likely uh this um these missiles that
• 37:39
  russians used to attack this object of energy infrastructure were brought down by the ukrainians
• 37:44
  and the russians haven't managed to deal uh significant damage to this object of critical
• 37:49
  infrastructure which means that ukrainians still have possibilities to receive power to receive
• 37:55
  electricity uh from the role of the nuclear power plant so most likely this object of critical
• 38:01
  infrastructure is well protected and well defended with ukraine's air defense forces
• 38:08
  so this is the situation in the city of kiev and obvious to kind of clarify that that that's the
• 38:15
  substation is probably 30 40 maybe 50 i can't tell the distance on this map 50 kilometers west of
• 38:23
  ukraine and it's a substation for routing power from the nuclear plants far west uh near the
• 38:29
  border of poland over by lvov and uh over by you know that area of northwestern and far western
• 38:37
  but on the northern side of ukraine and so this this nuclear power plant runs to the substation
• 38:44
  and then from there into uh kiev and what he's saying is since there's still lighting and still
• 38:49
  a little bit of power it's got to be coming from that substation and the russians haven't managed
• 38:54
  to take out that substation but if they do there's only one small thermal power plant covering all of
• 39:02
  kiev and if they take that out kiev's going to be in the dark and in the cold and that's important
• 39:06
  so he's going to move on to another city now and i wanted to follow that as well
• 39:10
  firstly the russians will repeat their attacks the repeat attack obviously the second wave attack
• 39:18
  is going to take place within the next days but it seems that the russians are not going to attack
• 39:23
  the city of kiev the russians most likely will attack something else as for different statements
• 39:30
  for example the mark ruther the nato secretary general stated that at the same time following
• 39:37
  a peace agreement foreign forces air power and naval support will appear in ukraine so following
• 39:42
  a peace agreement so not today not tomorrow not yesterday but only when ukraine accepts
• 39:48
  demands from the russian side at the same time other other alliance members he said will participate
• 39:55
  in supporting the situation in all other formats moscow consistently opposes the deployment of
• 40:01
  foreign troops on ukrainian territory at the same time european countries are not prepared to deploy
• 40:06
  troops without guarantees of the united of the u.s support which washington has not yet
• 40:11
  officially confirmed so there are too many questions without answers from mark ruther
• 40:16
  you know the important statement was made by key authorities in kiev thousands of homes are
• 40:22
  effectively without proper heating official government data on home heating connections
• 40:27
  does not reflect the actual situation uh kiev deploy narga this is the government office
• 40:34
  where the support of emergency crews has indeed formally supplied heat to most homes and reported
• 40:40
  success you know the important thing zelensky accused russia of violating the energy ceasefire
• 40:45
  u.s president said that we should refrain from strikes for a week but in fact it started on
• 40:50
  friday night and last night the russians in our view violated their promise so these are the
• 40:57
  statements of zelensky but these statements don't change anything the russians destroyed at least
• 41:02
  two power stations of the city of kiev once again another important thing most likely during the
• 41:08
  next attack the russians will not attack the city of kiev and the russians are using very interesting
• 41:14
  tactics so you know that the ukrainians have hundreds of crews energy crews and their main
• 41:21
  purpose is to stabilize the situation through ukraine after attacks from the russian side so
• 41:27
  which means that during the due to the fact that the russians mainly attack the city of kiev during
• 41:32
  the previous 24 hours this means that most of these crews were redeployed in the direction of
• 41:39
  dnipro kharkiv so during in the direction of these territories that were attacked by russia
• 41:44
  which means that now a lot of territories of ukraine have no crews that can supply support
• 41:51
  or stabilize the situation in the rest of ukraine which means if russia attack let's say
• 41:56
  the city of khmelnytsky or the city of lutsk or the city of lvov there are very high chances that
• 42:05
  ukraine will not be able to stabilize the situation very fast because most of the crews
• 42:10
  are currently located in the cities like kiev odessa dnipro kharkiv and so on so this is the
• 42:17
  tactics the russians first attack and then they attack places that are empty and without these
• 42:22
  crews that can stabilize the situation so we've finished where the city of kiev and the kiev
• 42:29
  region now let's move further and let's talk about the dnipro direction and about the dnipropetrovsk
• 42:35
  region so this territory was also attacked by russia and let's discuss what we've managed to
• 42:40
  find found out during the day so as for the information that we can find in the internet
• 42:47
  according to different military experts the city of dnipro and the dnipropetrovsk power station
• 42:53
  was attacked with 18 iskanders just within one hour so this is the biggest number of missiles
• 43:00
  that the russians used to attack a single object of energy infrastructure and the sources are
• 43:06
  saying that the russians were attacking the dnipropetrovsk power station with 18 iskander
• 43:10
  missiles so during the night we received several videos here we can see the moments when the
• 43:15
  russians attacked the station and here we can see another video where we can see another explosion
• 43:21
  but so the quality of the video is very poor so it's blurred so it's very difficult to understand
• 43:26
  whether the russians were attacking this power station or not and here we can see a satellite
• 43:31
  picture so according to this satellite picture a large fire is burning at the dnipropetrovsk power
• 43:38
  plant in the city of dnipro after it was hit by numerous russian iskander and ballistic misses
• 43:44
  this is evidenced by nasa firms data and photos from the city so the russians according to this
• 43:50
  fire according to this fire anomaly attacked these territories so this substation so as you can see
• 43:56
  lots of let's say an equipment that connects this power station where the city of dnipro probably
• 44:03
  with the mainland with the rest of ukraine and we can see this facility so the russians once again
• 44:08
  were attacking this territory mainly and the fire anomaly was recorded right exactly at this place so
• 44:16
  it's very difficult to say from this let's say configuration from this polygon whether the
• 44:21
  russians managed to destroy completely this power station or the power station was just
• 44:25
  damaged significantly damaged i'm sorry another important part of the city of dnipro that was
• 44:33
  attacked is the territory in the most northwestern part of the city but this time according to
• 44:39
  information we have the russians attacked the railway dnip the railway depot so most likely
• 44:45
  the ukrainians were redeploying troops or forces further in the eastern direction towards the line
• 44:49
  of combat contact and here we can see as you can see a very huge power anomaly so according to
• 44:55
  this let's see video maybe 18 iskandar missiles attack this territory but not the pridniprovskaya
• 45:03
  power station so according to the set fire anomaly and according to satellite data this territory
• 45:10
  is covered with a very huge fire as you can see there was probably the russians were attacking
• 45:17
  this territory as you can see there is an industrial zone area a lot of warehouses lots of
• 45:22
  plants military facilities probably and the russians were mainly attacking this territory
• 45:28
  so we've covered everything we managed to find out about the city of dnipro
• 45:32
  now let's move further and now let's talk about the kharkiv direction
• 45:39
  during the previous nights the russian i think we're going to skip with kharkov but uh kharkov
• 45:43
  same thing i talked about a couple of power plants up in there and then he got to the front line
• 45:48
  advances along the eastern front and uh and the buffer zone that the russians are building along
• 45:52
  there and uh again that is military summary channel he's got uh 379 000 subscribers and
• 46:01
  he does a pretty good job in all of his videos if you time lapse them and you can watch the front
• 46:07
  advances over there he he goes out of his way to make sure that these um uh what do you call it
• 46:14
  that these videos and the in the information that he receives is geolocated and uh that backed up
• 46:24
  also like the two power plants he shows the mayor of kiev talking about in dnipro dnipro he had
• 46:31
  two uh dnipropetrovsk he had two uh satellite uh verifications that he had and those were uh those
• 46:39
  were necessary right and and so there's huge fires burning at both the dnipropetrovsk power station
• 46:47
  and this huge multi-line probably uh it looks like on the satellite imagery and it's a huge
• 46:57
  train station huge train depot for cargo for uh people too and uh eastern europe has great train
• 47:05
  stations and russia's got you know russia ukraine had very very very good train stations and uh
• 47:10
  these this is an enormous train station in dnipropetrovsk a very large hub and he said it's
• 47:17
  burning and it's burning over a huge area and so two huge fires in dnipropetrovsk the infrastructure
• 47:25
  of ukraine is sorely damaged the people are suffering dramatically and this war needs to end
• 47:33
  and uh pumping up war mr hegseth pumping up uh oh jeez let's go ra ra ra we got a bigger wiener
• 47:42
  than you do is not the way to uh resolve a conflict unfortunately and uh uh you know the
• 47:49
  president of peace i don't believe really exists in in in the form that they say he did
• 47:55
  at the beginning i think venezuela uh you know took care of that impression that people may have
• 48:04
  had and uh and this talk about greenland and now now we're seeing the real efforts which are
• 48:11
  lindsey graham driven i mean he wants to go into uh you know he and rubio want to go after iran too
• 48:18
  why don't we start three or four more weird wars for the next 20 years why don't we do that
• 48:23
  that's good for america it's good for the same old money grubbers that it has been for for decades
• 48:29
  that's for sure and i am anti that i am pro-strength pro-military anti-war but you can't
• 48:37
  pump up the military industrial complex without active active conflict so we create our own
• 48:44
  conflict to make sure that the politicians get the right backing you know that's what this is all
• 48:49
  about maybe that's cynical but that's what it is same old thing just a different crew running it
• 48:56
  that's my thought process on that uh let's go back let's find another couple of things i wanted to
• 49:03
  talk about a little bit um uh by the way ruta has said as well before i get to that new uh
• 49:12
  that new uh line of thought that i wanted to get to uh nato um the secretary general and ruta was
• 49:21
  over there he's the nations they plan to deploy troops to ukraine once the conflict is over
• 49:26
  said secretary general mark ruta uh moscow maintains that sending in western military
• 49:31
  units is only going to escalate the conflict they're not going to agree to it they don't want
• 49:36
  it that's not part of their idea of peace and it will be a direct confrontation between russia and
• 49:43
  nato but hegseth you heard him he's driving for that he wants that he wants conflict between
• 49:49
  nato and russia because that means america gets to sell nato more weapons but the europeans don't
• 49:56
  want to do it unless they have military backing from america which means military soldiers from
• 50:04
  america that get to go hooah and run over to ukraine and start you know killing killing russians
• 50:10
  hopefully in their mind right this is this is escalation talk that's what this is uh kiev's
• 50:16
  european backers continuously lobby to send soldiers as a means of guaranteeing ukraine
• 50:22
  security some european allies announced that they will deploy troops to ukraine after a deal is
• 50:28
  reached said secretary general mark ruta in a speech to ukrainian parliament tuesday troops on
• 50:33
  the ground jets in the air ships on the black sea the united states is going to be the backstop
• 50:40
  yeah so that's that is what nato heads are saying the u.s is the backstop that's what they're saying
• 50:50
  that that we are there so trump goes in pushes for five percent adjustment says he's going to
• 50:56
  lower the number of troops in uh american troops in europe which i think needs to happen i've always
• 51:02
  thought that over the last 20 30 years i've thought that needed to happen in the meantime
• 51:06
  the u.s-led military bloc is assisting equipping and training the ukrainian our armed forces and
• 51:12
  sending billions of dollars of critical u.s military hardware to ukraine said ruta russia
• 51:20
  warns that it treats any nato soldiers sent to ukraine as legitimate targets for strikes the
• 51:26
  deployment of western military units facilities warehouses and other infrastructure in ukraine
• 51:32
  is unacceptable to us by the way it always has been and will be considered foreign intervention
• 51:38
  that poses a direct threat to russia's security russian minister foreign minister sergey lavrov
• 51:45
  told journalists monday moscow has long seen the conflict of a nato proxy war against russia
• 51:50
  carried out using western material and ukrainian manpower or lack thereof now ukraine's ambition
• 51:58
  to join the nato and nato's expansion toward russia are among the fundamental the root
• 52:05
  causes of the current conflict according to sergey lavrov and moscow and they've been
• 52:12
  consistent in this forever one of russia's key peace demands is that ukraine embrace neutrality
• 52:18
  give up its nato membership ambition a goal moscow says it is ready to continue pursuing
• 52:23
  and you know the goal that moscow says it is ready to continue pursuing militarily in the event
• 52:30
  kiev refuses to compromise on that issue so those are the big issues the two big ones are nato
• 52:36
  membership neutrality and and recognition of realities on the ground now as a huge part of that
• 52:44
  recognition that russia and russian citizens and russian culture isn't the enemy of ukraine
• 52:50
  because it's not and and they're they're you know this uh treating this culture the way that uh is
• 52:58
  is has been done for at least the last five years all over the planet and for the last 30
• 53:08
  in ukraine itself is just wrong you know they act like they're not uh
• 53:13
  uh uh they're not related you know that they're not closely related and share a common history
• 53:25
  it's it's nonsense um here here's you know here here's more escalation talk for you you ready
• 53:32

  added to ukraine's kill list that uh gianni infantino has been accused of humanitarian aggression
• 54:19
  after criticizing the ban of russian football players soccer players fifa president gianni
• 54:27
  infantino is added to the kill list maintained by ukraine's more meter toward its state-backed
• 54:34
  website meter toward its uh you know is uh uh the website that most people call the kill list
• 54:40
  because of how many people have ended up dead that were on that list you know assassinated killed you
• 54:45
  know whatever they publish personal personal data about individuals it labels as enemies of the
• 54:52
  state of ukraine the website accuses infantino of humanitarian aggression against ukraine
• 54:57
  and systemic support and cooperation with russia he's a freaking soccer official
• 55:05
  he runs fifa it has to do with soccer and now he's accused of uh of consorting with the
• 55:15
  enemy basically and put on a kill list and he's helping to spread russian propaganda
• 55:21
  by allowing soccer players from russia i'm very much against this nonsense and they've
• 55:27
  done it for people that are musicians they've done it for uh conductors of uh symphonies now
• 55:33
  they're doing it for soccer they've done you know they've accused they've they've cut off

  the order of friendship ukrainian officials have attacked infantino for expressing the hope
• 56:03
  in a recent interview that russian football players could again be allowed to participate
• 56:07
  in international competitions he said that such bans and boycotts create more frustration and
• 56:14
  hatred you're not allowed to make such uh conciliatory statements that say you know
• 56:21
  perhaps we should all just get along up you're going on the enemy kill list you're an enemy if
• 56:27
  you don't condemn russia you're our enemy nonsense nonsense to try to get people to
• 56:33
  work together in some respect or to you know you could argue that soccer is a
• 56:42
  a friendly a uh you know why don't we take it out on the soccer field instead of
• 56:47
  carrying weapons and blowing people up you know why don't why don't why don't we attempt that
• 56:54
  you know why don't we use it as an inroad toward a peace effort something culture has a way of doing
• 57:02
  that understanding other people and their point of view can help in that regard but oh no we got
• 57:10
  to put you on a kill list why because we're ukraine that's it they they are extremely
• 57:18

  said dimitri peskov tuesday mira towards which operates independently but maintains close ties
• 1:00:24
  to ukrainian security services has been branded a kill list after multiple people featured on it
• 1:00:31
  were later murdered or killed under suspicious circumstances each entry notably includes a
• 1:00:40
  date of elimination field beneath the subject's birth date so once they're dead they put a stamp
• 1:00:47
  on it and say eliminated tell me that's not a kill list yeah nonsense um it's it i i don't like these
• 1:00:57
  things i just don't like it um what else do we have um we have gadaffi's son was has now been
• 1:01:07
  assassinated have you heard about that yet uh saif islam gadaffi was shot in his own garden
• 1:01:15
  a son of the former libyan leader muammar gadaffi was assassinated he was killed by four people who
• 1:01:22
  quickly fled the scene after shooting him in his garden a family source told our al arabia according
• 1:01:28
  to media reports for the last several years he'd been living and hiding in libya in 2015
• 1:01:33
  libyan court sentenced saif al-islam to death for his role in a crackdown on protests
• 1:01:38
  in the 2011 unrest that led to downfall of his father's government on international criminal
• 1:01:43
  court charged him with crimes against humanity he was released in 2017 as general amnesty in 2021
• 1:01:49
  he registered as a candidate for the presidential election scheduled for december
• 1:01:53
  vote ultimately collapsed amid political deadlock muammar gadaffi took power in 1969 and ruled the
• 1:02:01
  oil-rich country until he was killed in 2011 by insurgents backed by backed by whom by the u.s-led
• 1:02:11
  military intervention as usual libya has since experienced intermittent civil war remains
• 1:02:17
  divided of course u.s doesn't give a crap about that it's just what can we get temporarily for all
• 1:02:23
  this stuff between rival governments in the east and west presidential and parliamentary elections
• 1:02:28
  are repeatedly postponed as political tension persists and will in spite of the u.s trying to
• 1:02:35
  dictate what they will do in that country and engaging in regime change if people aren't uh
• 1:02:44
  what do you call it don't allow themselves to be dominated by the u.s military industrial complex
• 1:02:53
  that are is the fact so there you have it what else do we have there's another one let's why don't we
• 1:03:00
  go back to iraq let's let's do that okay the u.s is now threatening iraq again over who's running
• 1:03:07
  that country okay u.s is warning iraq of possible economic repercussions if prime minister nouri
• 1:03:15
  al-malaki returns to power said bloomberg on tuesday last month the shiite bloc in parliament
• 1:03:23
  nominated the 75 year old al-maliki who washington views as too close to iran for a third term would
• 1:03:31
  to secure his return once a new president is elected al-maliki served two consecutive terms
• 1:03:37
  as prime minister from 06 to 2014 the first leader to do so since the 2003 u.s-led invasion
• 1:03:44
  and previously has held other cabinet posts the white house stepped up pressure on baghdad in
• 1:03:50
  recent days said people familiar with the outlet so here we are again starting our foundations for
• 1:03:56
  for what regime change for dictating who will be there uh it's you know the the names may have
• 1:04:04
  been changed but the apparatus still exists maybe u.s agency for international development doesn't
• 1:04:12
  exist but trust me they're still funding the ngos and the and the uh boots on the ground sort of
• 1:04:19
  types that collect all the money from the u.s to engage in regime change there that's what we are
• 1:04:25
  doing and i don't think we should be none of our freaking business and uh and warned that al-maliki's
• 1:04:30
  return will prompt financial measures including limits on oil export revenues the leverage dates
• 1:04:37
  back to the aftermath of a catastrophic u.s invasion of iraq which placed oil proceeds under
• 1:04:44
  u.s oversight gee there's a surprise and gave washington supervision over 90 of the country's
• 1:04:50
  budget exports are deposited in an account at a federal reserve bank in new york in the name of
• 1:04:57
  iraq's finance ministry and managed by the central bank funding salaries pension and government
• 1:05:02
  spending trump donald donovich has warned that washington would no longer help iraq
• 1:05:11
  if al-maliki returns to office they accuse him of pursuing insane policies and ideologies iran
• 1:05:19
  has reportedly urged its iraqi political allies to resist u.s pressure al-maliki denounces what
• 1:05:26
  he calls washington's blatant interference insisting that the choice of prime minister
• 1:05:32
  is a sovereign matter oh really you can do your own stuff not if donald donovich and company
• 1:05:40
  uh you know the neocons which he's currently uh uh subjected himself to are allowed to act
• 1:05:48
  which they are uh under iraq's uh power sharing system the premiership is reserved for a shiite
• 1:05:55
  politician while the presidency and parliamentary speaker posts go to a kurd and a sunni respectively
• 1:06:01
  the kurds feel abandoned by the way by the u.s but we'll get into that another day the politician
• 1:06:06
  spent 25 years in exile and returned after the u.s toppled saddam hussein sunni-led government
• 1:06:13
  he participated in the u.s backed de-baptification program which critics say fueled sectarian
• 1:06:21
  violence and sunni radicalization the u.s invasion and its aftermath has caused widespread violence
• 1:06:28
  and disruption across iraq with multiple surveys suggesting hundreds of thousands of death
• 1:06:35
  and long-term social economic consequences as usual we aren't leaving countries better off
• 1:06:47
  we're just taking the resources and leaving as an american you should be offended by this type
• 1:06:55
  of behavior and theft on a global scale that's all this is we do it backed by the military
• 1:07:03
  we've been doing it for decades that's how the system works and if you like that fine you know
• 1:07:10
  who am i to complain if you like it that way if you think that's how we should be doing things
• 1:07:16
  also more power to you i disagree and these are my thoughts mine alone nobody else gets to
• 1:07:23
  put them into my head but this i only tell you what i believe to be true i don't make crap up
• 1:07:29
  i don't go out and stretch it for some other reason i disagree and always have and i feel
• 1:07:36
  how do i want to put it sometimes it depresses me that i engaged in something
• 1:07:46
  that i thought was very very worthwhile as a diplomatic interpreter for basically a state
• 1:07:55
  department organization called the on-site inspection agency which i believe now is called
• 1:08:02
  the nuclear threat reduction agency but i haven't looked recently but i believe that's what they
• 1:08:07
  changed the name to and we were engaged in eliminating eliminating nuclear weapons worldwide
• 1:08:16
  we were disarming and starting to build a kinder world those are long gone part of me feels like
• 1:08:30
  you know 15 years of my youth was wasted on something that was you know is now completely
• 1:08:36
  reversed none of those treaties that all of them have been abandoned almost all of them have been
• 1:08:41
  abandoned by us by america we just well you know that's not important anymore and we nothing that
• 1:08:49
  we did in the 90s that while i was involved in all this stuff was has been uh turned into reality
• 1:08:57
  you know we still treated uh russia especially russia as an enemy and tried to take over we
• 1:09:05
  treated them like wicked stepchildren took over all of eastern europe expanded nato when we said
• 1:09:11
  we wouldn't and all of the things that the russians say in this regard are absolutely true
• 1:09:18
  but nobody wants to listen to it certainly marco rubio doesn't and certainly the the guys that's
• 1:09:26
  that are running all this nonsense on the american side the lindsey grammars of the planet
• 1:09:32
  who love their war and marco rubio i count in that fold by the way and it appears hegseth
• 1:09:38
  is there as well but uh i'll reserve judgment on that i didn't think he was uh important enough
• 1:09:47
  to be involved in that stuff but boy he is now and and he's he's saying i love war i love war i'm the
• 1:09:56
  i'm the war man and he changes the name and everything anyway i'm babbling on that on that
• 1:10:01
  regard and we only have about 20 minutes i i kind of wanted to get to something a lot more local in
• 1:10:08
  the final bit of the show and i told you recently about this and i'm gonna begin with this because
• 1:10:15
  it is wednesday and this is the greatest day in radio history that occurs every wednesday on damn
• 1:10:23
  radio and i am gonna try to uh speak about this i i was thinking i was also thinking of of of
• 1:10:33
  keeping my friday show but changing it and doing it more local more missouri focused maybe more
• 1:10:42
  florida focused i still got a lot of ties down there florida and missouri and legal and civic
• 1:10:50
  outlaws you know we've we've begun these two new organizations which i am very much involved in
• 1:10:59
  civic outlaws which is a 501 c3 which is charity and go to civic outlaws.com the the basic
• 1:11:10
  very good very nice website is out there and it shows some of our current activities
• 1:11:17
  attacking government overreach uh we have many uh well five four or five um current
• 1:11:25
  endeavors that we are some we're very deep into already and others are just getting started but
• 1:11:31
  we're we're and we have several more in the pipeline you know things that we're looking at
• 1:11:36
  that people are beginning to to take notice of and you go out to our civic outlaws website
• 1:11:44
  and have a look at the alcohol tobacco control issue which we've uploaded some of the documents
• 1:11:55
  involved some of the overreach that is going on in that department some of the anti-women
• 1:12:02
  activities that they are engaged in certainly government overreach the world is changing
• 1:12:08
  and it just is and you can stay on top of it because
• 1:12:15
  attacking government overreach is the duty of a citizen of the country you know
• 1:12:24
  limiting government power is something that should be in the interests of all americans
• 1:12:32
  and we are making those efforts and we've made some pretty good strides in it and we're not
• 1:12:37
  afraid to uh to engage in more if you have more things you'd like to talk about go out to civic
• 1:12:44
  outlaws dot com check out our website and send us uh you know my my email is samuel t at civic
• 1:12:54
  outlaws dot com and uh you know if you have issues to send you can also upload them on
• 1:13:01
  civic outlaws dot com but more importantly we are building uh as i've talked well more
• 1:13:09
  importantly to me anyway is uh is building what what uh we call the modern law uh ecosystem
• 1:13:21
  and the practice of law is changing there's no doubt and there are discussions nationwide
• 1:13:28
  in this regard and there are efforts nationwide in this regard and i've been keeping track of this
• 1:13:35
  because it's important to me and it's important to me the the bs way that missouri has uh engaged
• 1:13:43
  in the practice of law and the lack of regulation and oversight of certain programs of the missouri
• 1:13:52
  bar and the bureaucratic bs that they engage in to go and destroy the livelihoods of attorneys
• 1:14:01
  former attorneys people that are trying to get admitted to the practice of law and the horrific
• 1:14:06
  structure and the targeting of particular attorneys such as me and the the efforts to
• 1:14:14
  cease them cease to allow them to even make a living nationwide by the way by by uh cryptic
• 1:14:25
  opaque systems just like any other government overreach but the uh the bar is a special animal
• 1:14:33
  because they aren't technically a government agency but they have far more power and no oversight
• 1:14:42
  of any kind except by private private individuals it's nonsense if it's going to be have the power
• 1:14:50
  of the government there ought to be a way to attack it and there isn't any there's none and
• 1:14:57
  so you can't really do it so that is part of it and so i'm being as the chief principal the director
• 1:15:05
  of operations for the modern law ecosystem i'm being particularly careful i am being open it's
• 1:15:14
  we are we are on for our part are gonna be transparent and uh we're creating an ecosystem
• 1:15:24
  where attorneys can cooperate kovid changed the world everybody knows that and and ai is changing
• 1:15:33
  the world even now and uh we are on the cutting edge of that at modern law ecosystem and we are
• 1:15:43
  developing our own platform to allow the interchange of ideas of philosophies and uh you know we'll
• 1:15:51
  take some uh some um knowledge some questions on what we are building and we want to base it upon
• 1:16:00
  things uh and and perhaps i could give a lecture on it someday because i've done a ton
• 1:16:06
  of research on this topic and uh i would love to share it and frankly i think uh you know i might
• 1:16:13
  i might host a couple of uh a couple of seminars on it somewhere you know rent a room at the next
• 1:16:21
  bar conferences and uh get a room nearby and say hey if you're interested in the future of the
• 1:16:28
  practice of law you need to come check out the modern law ecosystem because we are building a
• 1:16:34
  platform for the interchange of ideas and the interchange that free up a lot of people are
• 1:16:43
  working out of their homes now a lot of attorneys are doing a lot of paralegals a lot of legal
• 1:16:48
  professionals uh you know many many many courts are allowing people to appear by zoom there are
• 1:16:55
  new structures that are happening and are occurring rules are being modified and changed
• 1:16:59
  and and and i trust me i am trying to stay very much on top of what these rules are and how they
• 1:17:08
  work and the interplay between them because it's important to me i think the practice of law is
• 1:17:14
  still even though they screwed me hard and and you know i'm never going to recover from that
• 1:17:20
  you know it's bs what they did to me and i'd be happy to chat about it with anyone who's
• 1:17:26
  interested but we're doing it publicly i'm tired of these backroom bs nonsense things
• 1:17:32
  you want to quiz me quiz me you want to send me a bar complaint who i won't name yet i told you
• 1:17:40
  about it before you want to send these things let's let's do it openly let's discuss it openly
• 1:17:46
  i'm tired of this hiding behind the stuff where people get to say evil things about me that just
• 1:17:53
  aren't true and they get to allege things against me and i don't get to defend myself
• 1:18:00
  they get to create articles about me ship them off the newspapers and act as if they are true
• 1:18:05
  and they never even get an opposing point of view and i'm telling you i've had it my reputation has
• 1:18:12
  been destroyed my livelihood has been destroyed my life in many respects has been destroyed and i
• 1:18:20
  was nothing but open and you know i have my disputes i'm pretty open about them i think i've
• 1:18:25
  been quite open about my thoughts on this matter all the way to the united states supreme court
• 1:18:32
  and i believe they all got it wrong just because i lost doesn't mean they're not wrong it means
• 1:18:39
  they're protecting they're protecting a structure that's bs it doesn't mean it's right it's not you
• 1:18:47
  know there are people that lose all the time there are people in prison that don't belong there and
• 1:18:51
  if you believe everybody that's in prison belongs there you know i got to tell you you're wrong
• 1:18:57
  it's not that's not how it is the money gets you out of things connections get you out of things
• 1:19:03
  that is history in america it's reality in america and don't go thinking that it's not because it is
• 1:19:11
  and so i i i encourage you to become familiar with the modern law ecosystem structure because
• 1:19:18
  the practice of law is changing and we are at the forefront of it and i intend to stay there
• 1:19:25
  and i intend to uh to uh continue to be at the front of it i i want to discuss these things there
• 1:19:37
  are some serious backers of some of the things that we are attempting to accomplish
• 1:19:42
  at modern law ecosystems and you know there are protections that we are putting in place we are
• 1:19:50
  we are how many months into this and we haven't taken on a single we're still we're we're prepared
• 1:19:59
  and we have plenty in the in the background waiting to be part of this when i say i'm
• 1:20:05
  comfortable doing so but it's you know that that we are taking attorneys to work in our group
• 1:20:11
  and that we are going to do the similar for you i encourage you to go out to if you're an attorney
• 1:20:21
  especially and if you're an attorney that wants to discuss this and can come up with a practical
• 1:20:27
  solution for your own law office give me a call send me an email i'll be happy to chat about it
• 1:20:33
  and discuss what efforts we have undergone how we protect ourselves and your decision making
• 1:20:41
  ability as an attorney i don't practice law anymore i don't sell i don't uh sell hours
• 1:20:48
  to clients i don't do any of that stuff i don't give legal advice anymore i don't do any of that
• 1:20:53
  in fact screw that if i'm subject to the to the overreach of a bunch of bandits from jefferson
• 1:21:00
  city forget it i'm not interested if they if they can have uh lawless processes and come after
• 1:21:08
  people the way they came after me because i'm i don't know what confrontational because i'm a
• 1:21:15
  blunt and brutal in the things that i say maybe i'm not the greatest of politicians i'm not a
• 1:21:23
  politician i never wanted to be and remember i used to play that for the opener of my show i'm
• 1:21:29
  not a politician i'm a businessman and uh depeche mode song by the way just so you know i wanted to
• 1:21:36

  right one i think it is the right one and and i just want to yeah and i want to play that but it's
• 1:22:31
  still that'll be the last uh three minutes of the show so it shows up on uh on uh and i but i think
• 1:22:40
  that's the that's too fast i don't like that one i think it's got to be the different one
• 1:22:45
  and uh maybe play it a little bit slower where's the long play version friends and neighbors
• 1:22:51
  i i tell you what i'm grumpy this morning but i'm pretty much done with the show that is it but we're
• 1:22:57
  going to play a song by a uh annabelle england e-n-g-l-u-n-d and it's a kind of a remake of
• 1:23:09
  another song that i happen to like and then listen to um i'm a fan of this type of music
• 1:23:17
  and of remixes i have a lot of uh things on my playlists that are uh what do you call it um
• 1:23:29
  a dance beat um i like i'm a fan and i've been to see uh lots of techno i went to one in uzbekistan
• 1:23:40
  that was freaking amazing and the tickets were like seven dollars here those tickets
• 1:23:46
  what i went to one in st louis cost me 130 bucks to get to get into a a huge um open arena
• 1:23:55
  covering several blocks and uh where they had lots of music as a music festival going on
• 1:24:01
  and uh that was really cool but it cost like 130 dollars for a ticket and in uzbekistan very
• 1:24:08
  similar multiple um paul van van dyke paul and some of the tiesto some of those um uh what do
• 1:24:18
  you call it um dj sorts that play that type of music were all there it was really cool and and
• 1:24:26
  i like that stuff i'm a little old for it but i still like it and then in uzbekistan you want to
• 1:24:32
  go see a see a concert like that fly to uzbekistan or fly to kazakhstan or somewhere like that and
• 1:24:38
  check out those uh high dollar performers in uzbekistan it'll cost a hell of a lot less
• 1:24:45
  and the food is cheaper everything is cheaper it's certainly well worth the effort so i wanted
• 1:24:52
