  Drop this incredibly awesome music to bring you some incredibly awesome political talk on damn radio
• 0:08
  Hello, good evening. Welcome. I am samuel trapped. This is international flavor
• 0:13
  It is 9 p.m
• 0:15
  at the lake ozark real estate of the art studio
• 0:20
  And lots and lots of content, uh to go through but i'm gonna focus on two
• 0:28
  Huge events that occurred one in new york
• 0:32
  in the other one
• 0:34
  in sochi russia
• 0:37
  and the first was
• 0:38
  Uh, by the way, if you feel like calling in five seven three seven four six eighty twenty
• 0:44
  um, if not don't and because I have plenty to go through today and the
• 0:50
  first in new york
• 0:52
  uh un
• 0:55
  security council meeting, uh
• 1:00
  Appearance press conference of uh, nibin's. Yeah, who's the
• 1:05
  um
• 1:06
  He was or nibin's yet. Yeah. I don't know the I was just gonna start speaking in russian
• 1:10
  I don't know the uh the stress on the syllable and I think it's nibin's. Yeah, but I could be incorrect there
• 1:17
  It doesn't matter but uh, he
• 1:19
  Gave a a very good
• 1:23
  54 minute
• 1:24
  press conference with a lot of questions about what russia intends to do as the president of the security council, uh this
• 1:32
  time
• 1:33
  There are some big meetings coming up and one of the questions was extremely interesting said
• 1:38
  So there's nothing on the security council agenda
• 1:42
  about ukraine
• 1:44
  It was he said well, how come there's nothing on he goes all people will be trying to get it in
• 1:49
  There will be some debates, but we don't plan on calling anything up
• 1:53
  It's kind of pointless because anything that did come up we would veto it
• 1:57
  Anyway, and that was pretty straightforward pretty direct
• 2:01
  and uh, I think that he put
• 2:03
  Some some very serious spin if you haven't heard it yet
• 2:07
  There is a or you haven't gone to see it. I'm telling you that americans more and more need to see this
• 2:14
  There is a lot of truth in what he said and every word of it was in english
• 2:21
  And he he gave the press conference in english. Every question was in english
• 2:26
  and so I thought about playing the
• 2:30
  whole thing for you because it's a
• 2:33
  a
• 2:34
  valuable
• 2:36
  Listen
• 2:38
  And his name is vasily nebenzia
• 2:41
  and he is the
• 2:43
  united nations representative
• 2:45
  for russia
• 2:46
  and he at one point
• 2:49
  Said and and this is for sure and if you want to find it out on youtube, you can find it's a 54 minute
• 2:55
  video 54 minutes 41 seconds
• 2:58
  And what in what at one point he said, uh, you know
• 3:02
  The west especially europe he was complimentary of trump and complimentary of uh,
• 3:08
  the united states, but he said
• 3:11
  the west especially in europe are warmongers and the days of having
• 3:17
  Uh diplomats are long gone in europe
• 3:21
  And he kind of made fun of them. He said, you know
• 3:24
  They're they're the giants and he mentioned three or four names, you know the giants of
• 3:31
  Politics the giants of diplomacy
• 3:34
  Are are just gone. He mentioned charles de gaulle
• 3:37
  I believe he mentioned churchill and a couple other names he says but there are no more churchill and everybody that's left
• 3:43
  They are only dwarfs
• 3:46
  And you know, he was he was pretty straight up and he was very well spoken even in english
• 3:52
  and it was uh, you know interesting because the other day lavrov gave his speech and then he did a
• 3:59
  Press conference afterward and somebody asked him if he would uh,
• 4:04
  An american reporter said I know you speak english very well
• 4:08
  Would you please respond to this? Uh, you know, I know you've been speaking in russian
• 4:12
  Would you uh, please respond? I would like it if you responded in english and he asked his question
• 4:19
  Lavrov says no
• 4:21
  I'm not going to he says there are two acceptable, you know, uh languages here russian and english
• 4:28
  And uh, I prefer to speak in russian and so that's what i'm gonna do
• 4:33
  but nebensia didn't do that and uh, he
• 4:37
  It was if you get a chance and i'm going to try to play parts of it if I can but it's hard to
• 4:43
  Scroll through it, you know without listening to the whole thing
• 4:46
  You know what?
• 4:46
  I mean, but I think I also have the transcript in a new program that I use that I can just click on the words
• 4:54
  And it'll play only the words. It's really cool, but I haven't used it yet
• 4:58
  live
• 4:59
  so I might have to go through and I want to pick a few questions and see if I can get it done, but
• 5:05
  That's what happened in new york. That's event number one
• 5:08
  Event number two is something called valdai and it's a valdai
• 5:14
  debate club
• 5:16
  And it's held in sochi. I read an interesting art and today was the day
• 5:22
  That vladimir putin kicked off the plenary session of this
• 5:27
  Valdai debate club
• 5:29
  And he does it he's done it quite a few years
• 5:32
  in a row
• 5:34
  And it's an opportunity for him to speak in a little bit less formal
• 5:39
  capacity
• 5:42
  There's been a lead-up to this for people who uh, understand what's going on in the world that this uh,
• 5:49
  Valdai is a very big deal and it's a a huge debate
• 5:54
  You can't get in without an invite, you know, you know, I couldn't just go over there and say hey, geez, you know i've been
• 6:01
  You know, i've got a press credential. Let me in. Nope doesn't work that way. This is by invite only
• 6:08
  And you got to be a member and you can only be a member of somebody
• 6:12
  another
• 6:14
  giant of uh
• 6:15
  Politics or something invites you to be a member and those people are are invited in there and I want to
• 6:22
  Because it's vladimir putin and
• 6:25
  Putin is more important than nebensia
• 6:29
  I'm going to start with um with putin and his address
• 6:33
  And what I thought I would and you know what there was a third one as well
• 6:36
  This one was in moscow and it's the briefing of uh, marty as a kharava
• 6:41
  and she gives every week a uh,
• 6:44
  a two three hour press conference on the status of the war in ukraine status things in
• 6:49
  In russia and all of that and uh that that
• 6:52
  I try to get content from that for the show fairly frequently because uh, you know, you're getting
• 6:59
  a competing, uh side of the tale and so I I definitely uh, like listening, uh to
• 7:08
  All of these people nebensia is is a very talented. Uh
• 7:14
  Un representative for russia he is, uh, you know, all of them are
• 7:19
  Unforgiving in their critiques of what is going on and if you haven't if you're interested in international things at all
• 7:27
  and the
• 7:31
  non
• 7:32
  the the
• 7:33
  end of hegemony
• 7:35
  Vladimir putin's speech is more important, but they're all talking about it and there's article after article after article
• 7:43
  About the reality
• 7:46
  of
• 7:47
  this
• 7:48
  Lack of a you know, one size fits all
• 7:52
  Leadership in the world and there was one of the questions for nebensia. For example, they were talking about
• 7:59
  Said listen, everybody has been very critical of the un and you were very gracious about the un in the beginning
• 8:07
  and he said something along the lines of the the
• 8:13
  Un
• 8:14
  Is always only as powerful as its members and you know
• 8:18
  The structure is here and I have faith in the un our our colleagues have faith in the un you talk about
• 8:25
  Cooperation with the united states. There's a brand new counterpart. He was talking about his new counterpart the new us
• 8:33
  um
• 8:35
  Um us un representative and I forget his name
• 8:38
  I want to say walls or something like that. Not waltz, but walls and uh, he but I could be incorrect
• 8:44
  I know I have it, you know in the
• 8:47
  Materials here, uh to to go through if we get that far
• 8:50
  But he was saying the cooperation between us. He says, uh, you know, I just met him. He's brand new. It's his first
• 8:58
  Conference and he seems very likable. I I we sat we met
• 9:03
  I got a courtesy call from him and we had a discussion and then I met him later
• 9:08
  And I I like him and at the risk of sounding, uh
• 9:12
  Uh, I don't know
• 9:14
  Self-congratulatory, I believe it was mutual. I believe he likes me, too
• 9:19
  And uh, you know personal relationships and diplomacy or what this stuff is is built upon and he says and in the un
• 9:26
  You know, we don't always agree, but that doesn't mean we can't work together in areas where we do agree
• 9:33
  And he beat up on europe. That's when he started going on about how
• 9:37
  how europe
• 9:39
  Doesn't and he and he beat up on biden too. He goes for three and a half years
• 9:43
  We had zero contact with our western colleagues. There was
• 9:48
  nothing
• 9:49
  that was
• 9:51
  Nothing that we could discuss nothing in common
• 9:54
  Nothing and and he talked about all the rules that are broken continually and and on the on the one side, you know
• 10:01
  They're always permitted to create their own rules
• 10:04
  And they don't have to enforce them and nobody ever does and then putin had a similar theme
• 10:10
  In his and what I thought I would do
• 10:14
  he gave
• 10:14
  And and i've been babbling already for nearly 10 minutes just off the top of my head, you know, and about these two
• 10:23
  Appearances which were
• 10:26
  These are these are two, you know
• 10:29
  Uh, nubenzio is talking about the dwarfs in europe. These are two
• 10:35
  giants in politics and these are two
• 10:38
  giants in diplomacy and they
• 10:41
  They speak the language of diplomacy and it's not go and beat up and tell everybody how horrible they are or anything like that
• 10:50
  Although i'm not saying they don't
• 10:53
  Take some of that but usually they receive it far more than they give off but they still
• 11:00
  they still
• 11:01
  Say their peace and they still say no
• 11:05
  We are right and we stand up for what we believe in
• 11:09
  And here it is. So I think without further ado i'm gonna do what I said and begin with
• 11:17
  Putin and I thought it would be
• 11:20
  Um
• 11:22
  cool to talk about or to to give the first brief portion of his
• 11:29
  of his statement because
• 11:33
  he
• 11:34
  Let's see
• 11:35
  The he was introduced at the valdai club and it's a this is a straight up translation
• 11:42
  I haven't read the whole thing. I listened to his speech not the questions
• 11:47
  But I did and but I have this all downloaded and I can read and follow along
• 11:52
  And what I thought I would do would be to start
• 11:55
  with his
• 11:57
  initial
• 11:58
  Uh commentary, but his commentary he spoke for half an hour, but do you know what?
• 12:04
  I think it is truly important to hear the other side of what people are saying
• 12:11
  And you won't get it
• 12:12
  Anywhere else if you don't go looking for it, and I hope that people come
• 12:17
  To my program at international flavor and hear these things
• 12:22
  Because they do not tell them to you
• 12:26
  Anywhere, I don't want to say anywhere else, but geez you got to go hunt for it. You know, it's not easy to find
• 12:33
  And so I want to read some of his brief introduce. Well, it's not brief is his introduction and then we'll get to some questions
• 12:40
  Because a couple of russian news channels were following it live as it went on and they give a shorter version
• 12:48
  And I have it in english as well. So I I think
• 12:51
  I'm going to get started and quit talking so damn much and let's get to some
• 12:56
  Some vladimir putin, okay
• 12:59
  um, he was introduced and
• 13:02
  The person introducing him whose name I don't know
• 13:06
  Excuse me. This is the plenary session of the 22nd annual forum of the international
• 13:12
  Discussion club of valdai. It's a great honor for me to invite to the stage the president of the russian federation
• 13:18
  vladimir putin
• 13:21
  Mr. Putin, thank you very much for finding the time to come to us again
• 13:27
  The valtai club is an incredible has an incredible advantage
• 13:32
  Excuse me and privilege for 23
• 13:35
  Years to meet with you and discuss the most pressing issues. I
• 13:40
  Reported on this last year and the year before too
• 13:44
  Probably no one can boast about it as much as us the 22nd session of the valdai club
• 13:51
  Which took place the preceding three days?
• 13:54
  was entitled the
• 13:56
  polycentric world
• 13:58
  We are trying to move from the understanding and description of the new world
• 14:03
  In application that is an understanding of how to live in this new world because it isn't very clear yet
• 14:11
  But we so to speak may be a little bit ahead of everyone else
• 14:15
  But we're not the only users of this multicultural world
• 14:20
  and you at least are
• 14:21
  One of the mechanics or an engineer in the polycentric world
• 14:27
  Therefore we are very much awaiting instruction on the application of this new world from you
• 14:34
  So then vladimir putin gets up and he says instructions are unlikely to be
• 14:41
  Formulated and there is no purpose in this because all the instructions advice and inquiries
• 14:48
  That we have received prior to this
• 14:52
  And he's not he's talking about how to live in the world that we live in right now
• 14:57
  The translation just isn't correct
• 15:00
  The inquiries are given only so as not to follow them later
• 15:04
  This formula is well known to everyone
• 15:08
  I will allow myself to express my opinion on what is happening in the world
• 15:13
  Where it is, what is the role of our country and how we see the prospects for development?
• 15:20
  The valdai international discussion club has indeed gathered for the 22nd time
• 15:26
  And such meetings have simply become a good and kind tradition
• 15:31
  discussions on the valdai platform
• 15:33
  Give the opportunity for all parties to assess the situation all over the world
• 15:40
  This is called change
• 15:43
  Comprehending change, of course the strong features of the valdai club is the desire and ability of participants to look beyond
• 15:51
  the obvious for all of us to see
• 15:54
  Not to follow agendas imposed upon us by global information space
• 16:00
  especially since the internet brings its own
• 16:03
  Good bad and difficult to understand
• 16:07
  But to but we do try to ask original questions, but it has its own vision of processes to
• 16:14
  Open the curtain that hides tomorrow
• 16:17
  It is not easy for any of us, but it happens that it often works including on the valdai platform
• 16:24
  with you
• 16:25
  that translation is a little tough, but uh, but we have
• 16:29
  Already noted more than once that we live in a time when everything is changing
• 16:35
  And change is coming very quickly
• 16:38
  I would say things are changing radically
• 16:41
  At the same time none of us can fully predict the future
• 16:46
  But this does not free us from the duty to be ready for anything that could happen
• 16:52
  Practically as time and recent events have shown us we need to be ready for anything
• 16:58
  Everyone's responsibility in such periods of history is especially great
• 17:03
  Both for their own fate for the fate of their own country
• 17:06
  And the entire world and the stakes here are extremely high
• 17:12
  The annual report of the valdai club is dedicated as has just been said this time to the problem
• 17:18
  of
• 17:19
  Multipolar polycentric world this topic has been an agenda for a long time
• 17:25
  But now it deserves special attention and I agree with the organizers that this is an important topic
• 17:33
  already
• 17:34
  The emerging multipolarity is defining the framework from which states are operating
• 17:41
  But I will try to answer the question. What are the peculiarities of today's situation?
• 17:47
  First it is much more open you can even say creative space for foreign policy behavior
• 17:54
  There is practically nothing
• 17:56
  predetermined in advance and
• 17:58
  Everything is going differently than it was previously
• 18:03
  Much depends on accuracy reliability degree of endurance thoughtfulness of the actions of the members
• 18:10
  of the international community
• 18:13
  Moreover in the vast space it is of course easy to get lost
• 18:18
  Lose your bearings which we see happens quite often
• 18:23
  Secondly the space of multipolarity is extremely dynamic
• 18:27
  Changes occur quickly as i've said and sometimes suddenly
• 18:32
  In the over the course of an hour and of course it is difficult to prepare
• 18:36
  For such change and sometimes in top possible to predict
• 18:41
  You have to react instantly as they say in real time
• 18:46
  Hang on one second and we are going to say hello to a caller. Are you with me caller?
• 18:56
  I am with you. Do you not wish to hear the speech of vladimir putin at valdai?
• 19:02
  I you know
• 19:04
  I i'm i'm
• 19:06
  Willing to listen to that speech at valdai and here's think of vladimir putin is saying
• 19:12
  is we
• 19:14
  as a as a world, uh
• 19:16
  Society of good loving, you know god fearing jesus loving
• 19:21
  people
• 19:23
  Vladimir putin and his uh, you know, whatever communist society over there or whatever
• 19:30
  They're not bad. They're not bad. They're good
• 19:33
  they're good and we
• 19:34
  Here's what?
• 19:37
  I think we have to say sam. We gotta we gotta learn how to get along
• 19:42
  We gotta learn how to get along and vladimir putin is not the bad guy
• 19:47
  The russians are not the bad people
• 19:51
  you know the americans the uh, the the uh,
• 19:55
  Patriots in america are not the bad people
• 19:58
  Who are the bad?
• 20:01
  the bad people are those who want to
• 20:05
  Subvert
• 20:05
  You know goodness to dominate the world with this nonsense that they've been
• 20:12
  spouting off for the last 30 years
• 20:17
  And and they've been we've been talked exactly sam that's exactly right
• 20:22
  We've been fighting against, you know, supposedly the uh, u.s
• 20:27
  You know us has been fighting against them the communist, you know
• 20:33
  But but that's not the fact the fact of the matter is it's a battle between good and evil
• 20:42
  and uh
• 20:43
  Yeah, we we you what you're doing right now
• 20:46
  Is beyond belief my friend you you you are the guy standing in the uh,
• 20:55
  in the middle
• 20:56
  You know and just just offering information
• 21:00
  Day in day out and I think it's information that's important, you know people may not agree
• 21:07
  But you know if you don't think so
• 21:10
  Well, you're welcome to find your own what you think is relevant and important information
• 21:16
  But the world is changing and our children
• 21:20
  Or our youth our country whether it's our children or not
• 21:24
  needs to know
• 21:26
  that we have
• 21:28
  Consistently without fail for the last 30 to 50 years and probably longer than that
• 21:37
  Dominated the world with
• 21:39
  misinformation
• 21:41
  ourselves
• 21:42
  And if anybody stands up to it, we say
• 21:46
  They are guilty of disinformation. Well, I don't believe in disinformation
• 21:51
  I believe in information and either you agree with it or you disagree with it
• 21:56
  but you should consider all points of view or
• 22:00
  Especially those that are contrary to your belief process or thought process or something
• 22:06
  You may not have thought of you know, people might go what in the world is he playing that darn vladimir putin?
• 22:11
  He's he's a he's an evil man. Well, you know what you're free to believe that
• 22:16
  But if you believe that you should listen listen to some of the things that he has to say
• 22:22
  in his own words
• 22:24
  And then see if you believe it because if he's evil he is
• 22:29
  consistently
• 22:30
  Evil without saying things that are evil. He's saying things that are
• 22:37
  forward-looking
• 22:38
  even even
• 22:40
  Progressive one might say god forbid the word but he's giving things out that are that are you know?
• 22:47
  The world isn't what you think it is folks
• 22:50
  And and listen up and so when I talk about diplomacy from the other side of the planet, well
• 22:57
  They have it. I'm, not so sure that we do because everything we do is
• 23:03
  extremely
• 23:04
  targeted
• 23:06
  And extra you do not ever give
• 23:09
  An opposing point of view and those that have a different point of view aren't people with a different point of view
• 23:16
  They're downright evil
• 23:18
  You know and and somehow that just doesn't ring true with me
• 23:24
  well
• 23:26
  Opposing points of view are critical. I mean it what
• 23:32
  the
• 23:33
  The thing is this we have got to be open
• 23:39
  to
• 23:40
  different
• 23:41
  Points of view we've got to be open to them and let them speak
• 23:45
  Let them let them do their things and then and then they're eventually they're going to show themselves for what they are
• 23:52
  No, and cherry-pick the things you like versus things. You don't like that's what we're supposed to do
• 23:57
  You know, I disagree with I disagree with this and I like this, you know
• 24:02
  I really don't and I try to do this myself and say, you know
• 24:05
  I really don't see this as being anything positive like like I did when I was talking about
• 24:12
  The zaperosia nuclear power plant yesterday, you know, I don't totally agree with what rush is doing there
• 24:18
  But why is it so hard? Why is it so hard for us to?
• 24:22
  not
• 24:24
  Be able to get along
• 24:27
  There there is a brainwashing it's an mk ultra thing that's going on sam and you you've been there
• 24:33
  You probably are part of that. I'm gonna guess you are probably
• 24:39
  An mk ultra, you know, um
• 24:44
  Tool well, is that a type of beer?
• 24:48
  Huh? Is that a type of beer?
• 24:51
  maybe
• 24:55
  Yeah, I am I am not but you know, i'm a tool of no man except myself so
• 25:01
  Right. That's what we have to do my brother. We have to be a no tool
• 25:06
  Except to ourselves exactly
• 25:08
  And man, you spend how much time do you spend doing this? And what do you get for it?
• 25:14
  Do you get anything for what you're doing? If I didn't i'm gonna do it anyway, and so, uh, you know, I I listen
• 25:22
  Anyway, i've always been a bit of a junkie on it and uh, because I speak russian
• 25:29
  And yeah, I had you, uh, stop it. That's your bullet normal. No, I am
• 25:33
  Governing the russian
• 25:35
  What I said was and I want to listen and learn russian and keep my russian current
• 25:40
  You know so that I can always speak it
• 25:42
  Well, if I go somewhere, I don't want to go over there and not be able to give get directions give directions have a
• 25:49
  Conversation with somebody or anything like that. I think it is worth the effort to understand other people
• 25:57
  And even if it's for nothing more than my selfish desire to travel and see something different
• 26:04
  but i've seen some fantastic things
• 26:06
  that people who
• 26:08
  Either don't learn a language or refuse to travel because they're afraid. Um
• 26:14
  Don't see
• 26:15
  And so I I don't know. I like to give my I mean i've been to 57 countries in all 50 states
• 26:23
  And I got very little in my life to be extremely proud of but I am proud of both of those things
• 26:30
  Because if somebody says something, you know, oh, yeah, i've been there
• 26:33
  I can tell you about morocco and what happened over there and how I loved driving there
• 26:38
  You know, I can tell you about portugal and tell you wherever I haven't done enough in the far east
• 26:43
  But you know kazakhstan uzbekistan
• 26:47
  Kyrgyzstan, those are fantastic places and and you know
• 26:50
  I
• 26:51
  Hope that my
• 26:54
  Ever since I was a little kid my desire to see the world has been
• 26:58
  Extremely large and you know, I don't travel rich. I'm not remotely rich
• 27:05
  but I make sure I do it because
• 27:07
  What else is there in this life except your experiences that you're going to pass along to others?
• 27:13
  And I hope that my experiences do help other people understand that there's a huge part of the world
• 27:19
  That they know very little about
• 27:23
  and uh, and and
• 27:25
  When you only hear
• 27:27
  One point of view all the time that america's great america's great. I happen to agree with that by the way
• 27:33
  but that doesn't necessarily mean that everywhere else in the world isn't
• 27:39
  Something great and positive as well or that we should
• 27:45
  Dominate everyone because of I I don't know. What do you want to call it? Um
• 27:52
  American exceptionalism, you know germans believe in german exceptionalism french believe in french exceptionalism
• 27:58
  you know what i'm saying and and it's
• 28:01
  There's truth in all of it
• 28:03
  So, I don't know. I love the point of view and if I could do anything it would be to try to get people
• 28:10
  To understand oppose that people
• 28:13
  In russia are fantastic
• 28:16
  They're kind they're uh, not just not just russia, you know, it's everywhere, you know
• 28:22
  Everywhere you go you find people that are fantastic. I lived in the middle east for a year and I loved it
• 28:29
  And the people are fantastic and they're all muslim and they will help you
• 28:33
  you want it's it's
• 28:35
  Knowing or understanding or even brushing up against other culture is something that americans are
• 28:43
  in a lot of respects completely lacking
• 28:47
  You know, and there's nothing wrong with that either
• 28:49
  There's nothing wrong with loving your country and saying I love it so much. I don't want to go anywhere else
• 28:54
  but it does kind of give you a
• 28:58
  Skewed reality
• 28:59
  On what else is going on in the world and I apologize we've gone way off my topic and I
• 29:05
  kind of do want to get back to it, but
• 29:08
  You feel right now sam. I mean how what what what what what is
• 29:13
  What is the most?
• 29:16
  Thing that you are engaged in
• 29:19
  what what what drives you well because
• 29:24
  people
• 29:25
  People
• 29:26
  people need to know that that
• 29:30
  We and I don't when I say we you know, I don't mean we but but but america hasn't always been
• 29:37
  that did you watch or know anything about this this 800 generals and
• 29:42
  admirals meeting with trump and
• 29:44
  Of course seth and all that everybody's been talking about that, right?
• 29:49
  Well, I I I listened to the two speeches
• 29:54
  um of those two guys and
• 29:59
  At the end of it i'm sitting there going what in the world are you talking about?
• 30:05
  I mean
• 30:06
  In all seriousness, what?
• 30:09
  Was the point of that?
• 30:12
  Seriously, let's get ready for war. Let's why are we all fat? Why are we you know, I I
• 30:19
  I think that when I served in the military, I tell you what, you know
• 30:24
  It was an embarrassment to be part of the fat boy club
• 30:28
  You know you you did not want to be in the fat boy club and they put people out
• 30:32
  Because they were in the fat boy club and it was in some respects
• 30:36
  Maybe not as nice as it ought to have been but you had a body fat count and if you couldn't make the weight
• 30:42
  They you know that you you
• 30:44
  you were
• 30:46
  Not trained as it were until you did and if you ultimately didn't or couldn't you were
• 30:52
  Put out of the military and when standards get low. I mean, I I agree that standards have failed
• 30:59
  I don't want to and I was so embarrassed when that that admiral in a dress
• 31:04
  The man with a dress in there was wearing an admiral's uniform or the sergeant major the male sergeant major
• 31:12
  That that had his had breast put on and was wearing a woman's dress and it's so clear that they're men
• 31:17
  And you're sitting there going
• 31:19
  Oh my god
• 31:20
  You know if this guy was going to inspect me and I don't have any problem what you do
• 31:25
  In the privacy of your own home. I give a crap
• 31:30
  but
• 31:31
  at some you know, the army and the military is
• 31:35
  Founded upon the fact that you're a cookie cutter piece and when you die
• 31:41
  another cookie cutter piece gets inserted in there
• 31:46
  And you know that cookie cutter piece can do exactly what you could do. There is not supposed to be
• 31:53
  any difference you're
• 31:56
  Interchangeable
• 31:57
  And you can't tell me that this guy coming up to inspect me is going to make me go. Oh my god
• 32:04
  The I I can't i'd be thrown out of the military because i'd laugh him in the face
• 32:09
  And and you know, they they go. Oh, jesus. Here's another one. You know, he hates he hates transgenders
• 32:15
  No, I don't they can do whatever they want just not in the military
• 32:20
  and so I I strongly believe in those sort of things and um,
• 32:24
  and and I don't but I don't have any problem with you if you want to
• 32:30
  In private do whatever you want to do. I don't care
• 32:34
  Even if you want to wander around in the mall in a dress when it's not part of the military
• 32:42
  If you don't mind me interjecting no you please do
• 32:46
  But we do have to move on because I do want to finish this topic today and it's no i'm scared. I am I am truly
• 32:54
  Honestly in the heart of my heart scared
• 32:58
  That these leftist freaks fags and furries
• 33:02
  are
• 33:03
  They are going to try to kill us. I am I am fearful of that
• 33:09
  And you should be but but you know what I would say to that and this is going to sound horrible, too
• 33:15
  But don't act like the people on the right the extremists on they're going to be doing you any favors either
• 33:22
  Because they're gonna start world war three if if if they continue on the paths that they are going on
• 33:28
  Where we will be involved in world war three
• 33:32
  And this is this is horror story for all of us
• 33:35
  So what are your options get killed by a bunch of nut jobs who think that you should honor a man?
• 33:41
  Did you hear about the guy that took took a 10-day prison sentence? Where was it france or I think it was france
• 33:48
  that he
• 33:49
  uh
• 33:50
  Post he put a post on the internet
• 33:53
  on on whatever
• 33:54
  Service it was x or something and the post said as follows and I tell you what i've said this exact thing myself
• 34:01
  on dozens of occasions
• 34:03
  I have said well, I suppose if you want my total view on transgenderism, I don't give a crap what you do
• 34:09
  Which I just said and it doesn't bother me if you want to dress up like a woman or as a man dress up
• 34:15
  Or as a woman dress up like a man great good for you
• 34:19
  I know people that are into that and I don't care as long as it's not something in the public sphere that is
• 34:26
  Making a laughingstock of the military or whatever those things I draw the line, okay
• 34:30
  And you can have a different opinion of that. But this guy said and what I always said exact same
• 34:36
  Is unfortunately for these people and I don't say you got mental problems. I don't say anything like that
• 34:42
  I maybe you just prefer women's underwear. I don't know. I don't care
• 34:47
  but but
• 34:48
  in 200 years somebody did he said it exactly like this and it's funny because it's the exact same thing that I say in
• 34:55
  200 years when they dig up this body of this man pretending to be a woman
• 34:59
  Guess what?
• 35:00
  They're gonna find a different pelvic bone
• 35:03
  And if it says here buried a woman and the world has changed dramatically in 200 years and this is not
• 35:09
  Common anymore. They're not gonna say here was buried a woman. They're gonna go. Oh, yeah
• 35:14
  Here's a male a male skeleton and they don't you know, nobody's gonna remember me 200 years from now
• 35:20
  What do they care?
• 35:21
  And if I claim to be a woman my entire life 200 years now, they're gonna dig me up and you cannot fight reality
• 35:27
  So this guy said something along that lines
• 35:31
  And first he was fined five hundred dollars. He refused to pay it
• 35:34
  Then he was fined a thousand dollars and he refused to pay it
• 35:37
  Then the judge brought him in and said well, you don't do this. I'm gonna put you in jail for 10 days
• 35:42
  He goes well better put me in jail for 10 days because I ain't gonna pay it
• 35:45
  And he went to jail for 10 days because he said that your bones in 200 years are going to identify you as a male
• 35:54
  Whether you claim to be a woman on this earth or not
• 35:57
  And that is what's going on in our world and that is dangerous and I want my kids to know that you know what?
• 36:05
  Maybe you should take a stand like that and stand up. I you shouldn't have to
• 36:09
  But I would respect you if you ever did I don't know this guy in france or wherever the hell it was
• 36:15
  But I respect him making that stand and and and it's a stand that I would make also, you know
• 36:21
  It's it's a it's a nonsensical world out there
• 36:24
  But I don't feel any better about the uh those on the far right, you know your your kellogs and your keens of the world
• 36:32
  Driving us as fast as they can toward world war three. It's nonsense
• 36:41
  I must have lost him or are you there?
• 36:44
  No, i'm
• 36:46
  I'm here. Okay, cool. I mean something happened on your on your deal. Anyway, that is my commentary
• 36:51
  I so much appreciate your call. I really do but I think that the words of uh, mr. Putin are
• 36:58
  important i'm very glad that you're here to listen to them and uh,
• 37:03
  but I do want to continue especially with some of the questions and answers that they get this, uh,
• 37:08
  Nubenzia the well the the go ahead
• 37:13
  Bro, sam. Here's the thing
• 37:16
  the thing is that
• 37:19
  Uh, vladimir putin is
• 37:23
  Is a uh
• 37:26
  He's a guy
• 37:28
  That's not gonna stand for this
• 37:32
  Ridiculous leftist bullshit that's going on
• 37:36
  He
• 37:37
  And he does not do you know one of the questions that was asked in here was exactly what I just said
• 37:42
  They have they are they are giving they are giving
• 37:47
  free visas and new new passports to westerners who want to move to russia and and a u.s a u.s woman
• 37:57
  Very famous. I forget her name tara something. I can't remember
• 38:00
  But i'll get to it if if I get there she she asked him a question and said listen
• 38:06
  the people are moving here from the west because they do not like what the west is becoming and
• 38:13
  russia has consistently said
• 38:16
  we
• 38:17
  Honor your like what? I just said you want to do what you want in the privacy of your own home
• 38:22
  There's nobody going to interfere with it
• 38:23
  But you're not going to teach it to our kids and you're not going to do it, you know out in public and be waving
• 38:29
  You know transgender flags and all these other things we're not going to put up with it
• 38:36
  Right exactly
• 38:38
  Pardon me. So russia and the united states are we we are we are aligned with
• 38:45
  freedom and peace, you know, we are aligned with uh
• 38:50
  Just the right thing and then there's these leftists these communists these
• 38:55
  These these three you started out by calling um calling putin a communist and he isn't
• 39:03
  No, no, no, no, no. No, no
• 39:10
  the guy the guy
• 39:13
  uh
• 39:15
  Putin is he's he's a good guy
• 39:18
  As trump is a good guy and what we're fighting against are these these
• 39:25
  these sick this
• 39:27
  Decrepit
• 39:29
  people
• 39:30
  That want to control
• 39:32
  The population and the planet and not just here, but everywhere
• 39:38
  Everywhere everywhere my friends. So what we are driving us to war in the middle east
• 39:44
  They are driving it and they are driving it because russia is otherwise occupied
• 39:49
  They are driving us to war in venezuela. Why because russia is otherwise occupied and what they're going to do is wake up
• 39:57
  China wake up india. They're already saying listen
• 40:01
  You do what you want on your side of the world, but quit telling us who we have to have as enemies. Stop it
• 40:07
  We're not interested
• 40:10
  and we will trade with who we wish to trade with and quit trying to
• 40:15
  To force us to believe what you believe because we do not
• 40:21
  Precisely
• 40:22
  And so there's guys like you and there's guys like me and there's guys like this that and the other that want to
• 40:30
  you know
• 40:32
  Push these things forward. Here's the thing
• 40:35
  the thing is this is that we cannot let the
• 40:40
  Deep state
• 40:44
  Ridiculous
• 40:46
  They're trying hard
• 40:48
  Is
• 40:50
  We can't let up we gotta we we have to stand against yeah, but the deep state isn't only the leftists dude
• 40:57
  They're on the right too. We have a unit party. That's it. And so so don't
• 41:03
  I I don't believe
• 41:05
  I always told say to everyone that that my rule is
• 41:10
  No lifetime politician meaning if somebody has been in office
• 41:15
  More than two terms
• 41:17
  He will never get my vote. I don't care which side. So what do we do Sam?
• 41:22
  What do we you quit voting for the same old jokers all the time these what do we do you stop?
• 41:28
  Can you vote for somebody else?
• 41:30
  It doesn't even matter if it's the guy on the other side you get rid of the lifetime
• 41:35
  Politician and I think it ought to be done at anybody over a gs level call it 13
• 41:41
  15 whatever those people can't serve in i'd be i'd be much better
• 41:47
  Uh might be much more agreeable if they got a lifetime
• 41:52
  Uh after 20 25 years that they would would would be a senior manager
• 41:57
  In the government that after 25 years
• 41:59
  You're out. You can't be elected. You can't be part of the government. You can't be anything
• 42:03
  I'll give you a full salary. I don't care just get out
• 42:07
  And let's you know, so so you don't have
• 42:10
  idiots sitting up there like uh, nancy pelosi chuck schumer all the same old standard a-holes
• 42:17
  Doing the same old standard a-hole thing and stealing money and getting in fabulously and incredibly wealthy
• 42:27
  off of us
• 42:28
  And and and they know all the little scams that are going on or sending money to their nephew, you know
• 42:34
  Oh, geez, you know, we got this new project coming in. We need somebody to run it
• 42:37
  Well, you back my nephew for this and i'll back your nephew for that. Don't tell me that
• 42:43
  Stuff doesn't happen because it does
• 42:45
  We know it all we know it all bro. We know it all you know it. I know it. We all know it
• 42:51
  So, how do we deal with it? How?
• 42:54
  how do we deal with it on just a uh, you know, I don't know a uh,
• 43:00
  Just a
• 43:01
  Daily thing. Well, if you're aware of it, you can you can hopefully
• 43:07
  Encourage new blood somehow. It's the only way you win is encourage the new blood, bro
• 43:12
  Well, I don't know. I I wish I knew I I really wish I knew i'm not saying I have all the answers i'm saying
• 43:20
  That as long as people start to realize it ultimately it will change
• 43:25
  Do you know you used to be able to say I mean imagine this when the x-files were on you were a nut for watching it
• 43:30
  Right. Nobody would believe that kind of thing if you think on it this year
• 43:35
  it's like it's a pretty regular thing for people to think there are
• 43:40
  Whether it's aliens or whether it's the deep state whether it's some guy that was involved in killing
• 43:46
  kennedy that they they put out on on x-files remember the the
• 43:50
  The horror story that they talked about back then oh, geez these people these conspiracy theory nuts
• 43:56
  They're all crazy. And now that is a regular part and and there are tons of
• 44:02
  Mainstreamers that believe that all this stuff that's being released now
• 44:06
  Is scary stuff when I heard what what johnson was saying? I'm like, oh my god that guy that guy offed him
• 44:14
  You know, that was my very first thought when I hear him talking about what he did. I was like
• 44:20
  That guy offed the president. He disagreed with him and he offed him now. That's probably crap
• 44:26
  But I mean, well
• 44:28
  But then again, it may not be
• 44:30
  You know, it's like when you listen to them. These people are evil
• 44:35
  And and you know, they're not supposed to be
• 44:38
  So what do we do what thomas jefferson said?
• 44:43
  Go ahead and say that a little revolution every once in a while is a good thing
• 44:49
  And with that I gotta let you go because I really do want to get to the rest of this
• 44:53
  this has some very good content and I hope you continue to listen because
• 44:58
  Many of these things that you and I have just discussed actually show up in some of the things that he said and it's pretty sad
• 45:04
  That you got to listen to these sorts of things from the other side of the world, which are the evil people
• 45:11
  according to everything that you get to hear in the united states nonsense, and I think uh, you know, it's just
• 45:19
  It's not evil. It's different
• 45:22
  That's it
• 45:26
  Okay. Well, sir, I very much appreciate your call and I thank you for calling in very interesting discussion
• 45:32
  Feel free to call back anytime
• 45:36
  Good night. Good night
• 45:39
  And there he goes
• 45:42
  Well, I want to continue on with the old vladimir vladimirovich and and you know what I will do
• 45:47
  I will say to you there there are a couple of the trouble is when you watch these on youtube and you don't
• 45:54
  Have the entire translation
• 45:57
  All they're trying to give you are the little nuggets
• 46:01
  And you don't get the whole
• 46:04
  Show of what he's talking about and so I want to get
• 46:07
  where we're in about 10 15 minutes and then get to his questions the entire speech that he gave the
• 46:14
  Plenary speech was only about 25
• 46:17
  maybe 30 minutes
• 46:19
  and uh, he
• 46:21
  um
• 46:22
  You know, I was only about five six minutes in
• 46:26
  um, let's see
• 46:29
  Changes occur quickly blah blah blah. You have to react instantly as they say in real time
• 46:34
  It is important that this space is much more democratic
• 46:38
  It opens the way for a large number of political and economic players. He's talking about multipolarity
• 46:44
  Perhaps there have never been so many countries in the world that influence or strive to influence
• 46:50
  Important regional and global processes
• 46:54
  A cultural historical
• 46:57
  civilization
• 46:58
  Civilizational specificity of different parties plays a greater role than ever before
• 47:04
  Wow, that is a comment. It is necessary to look for points of contact and coincidence of interest
• 47:11
  Incidents that coincide in other words. No one is ready to play by the rules set by someone alone
• 47:19
  And somewhere far away
• 47:20
  as one very famous
• 47:23
  Shansani song
• 47:25
  There beyond the fog or there beyond the ocean in this regard any decisions are possible
• 47:32
  Only on the basis of agreement that suit all interested parties or a vast majority
• 47:39
  Otherwise, there's never a viable solution, but only loud phrases and fruitless games of ambition
• 47:47
  Is that where we are now thus to achieve a result of harmony and balance
• 47:53
  Activity is needed
• 47:55
  finally and possible the boss
• 47:58
  The possibility and danger of the multipolar world polar world are inseparable from each other
• 48:05
  The weakening of the dictate the present and he's talking about the west the presence of which
• 48:10
  Has been distinguished in the previous period the solution and the space of freedom for all
• 48:16
  Is undoubtedly a blessing at the same time such conditions are more and more difficult to find
• 48:23
  and establish
• 48:25
  In this very strong balance balance, which is itself a clear and extreme risk
• 48:31
  That's pretty damn deep
• 48:33
  Such a situation on our planet, which I try to outline quite briefly is a qualitative new phenomenon
• 48:40
  International relations are undergoing a cardinal transformation
• 48:46
  Paradoxically
• 48:48
  Multipolarity has become a direct consequence
• 48:51
  of an attempt to establish and preserve
• 48:55
  global hegemony
• 48:58
  So multipolarity exists because people don't like
• 49:03
  Hegemony one size fits all that's what he's saying
• 49:06
  And the answer of the international system and history itself
• 49:11
  Is an obsessive desire to build everyone into one hierarchy
• 49:17
  At the top of which are the countries of the west the failure of such as an idea was a matter of time
• 49:25
  Which by the way, everyone has always talked about he talked about it in 2007
• 49:32
  At the munich security conference when he he stood up in front of um
• 49:38
  dick cheney
• 49:40
  and uh
• 49:41
  Told him, you know, you you guys are the bad guys
• 49:44
  The world doesn't like what you are doing and everybody ignored it
• 49:49
  But it was a famous speech and it was a hell of a speech and he was much younger than two
• 49:54
  I mean, geez, it was 18 years ago
• 49:57
  Anyway historically it's happening anyway, and it's happening quite quickly
• 50:01
  35 years ago when it seemed that the confrontation of the cold war was coming to an end
• 50:09
  We were hoping as as was I by the way as a russian interpreter for the army
• 50:14
  We were hoping for the advent of a real era of cooperation
• 50:20
  It seemed that there were no
• 50:22
  Ideological or other obstacles to prevent us from jointly solving
• 50:28
  common problems of humanity
• 50:30
  and regulating
• 50:33
  resolving
• 50:34
  inevitable disputes and conflicts based on a mutual respect for each other and
• 50:40
  consideration of everyone's interests
• 50:43
  Let me make a small historical
• 50:45
  Digression here our country seeking to liquidate the basis for a bloc confrontation
• 50:53
  To create a common space of security twice declared our readiness to join nato
• 51:00
  the first time in 1954
• 51:04
  Back in the days of the ussr
• 51:07
  The second time during the visited visit of the president of the united states to moscow
• 51:12
  I already talked about this in 2000 when we also talked about this
• 51:18
  And both times we received a rejection
• 51:22
  From the very beginning I repeat
• 51:25
  We were ready for joint work for non-linear steps in the sphere of security
• 51:31
  and global stability
• 51:34
  But our western colleagues turned out to be not ready to free themselves from the captivity
• 51:41
  Of geopolitical and historical stereotypes
• 51:45
  from simplified schematic pictures of the world
• 51:49
  I spoke publicly when I spoke with mr. Clinton with president clinton and he said, you know
• 51:55
  I think it's interesting. I think it's possible and then later that evening. He said I consulted with my people
• 52:04
  It is unreal now. It is unreal and I said when will it be real?
• 52:10
  He said and anyway, he said that's it. It was gone, by the way
• 52:14
  We all had a real chance at another positive vector of development of international relations
• 52:21
  But the top alas took a different approach
• 52:25
  Western countries did not resist the temptation of absolute power
• 52:31
  Well, the temptation was quite serious in order to resist the temptation
• 52:36
  It would have been necessary to have a historic perspective in mind and a good level of preparation
• 52:43
  including
• 52:44
  intellectual
• 52:45
  historical preparation
• 52:47
  Those who made the decision then
• 52:49
  Apparently and simply had no such preparation
• 52:54
  Yes, the power of the united states and its allies in the late 20th century
• 52:59
  Definitely had reached its peak, but there will be no force that would be able to rule the world
• 53:05
  Prescribe what everyone will do and how they will do it how they will breathe
• 53:12
  This is tough, isn't it?
• 53:13
  Well there have never been such attempt where there have always been such attempts
• 53:18
  And they have all ended in failure at the same time. It is worth noting that the so-called liberal world order
• 53:27
  Turned out to be acceptable to a lot
• 53:29
  And to in some ways even convenient
• 53:33
  Yes, the hierarchy limits the possibility
• 53:35
  Of those who are not on the upper floor of the pyramid
• 53:39
  If you would allow me to say at the top of the food chain, but those who live far down on its base
• 53:47
  But it takes away a significant share of responsibility from them such a position. What are the rules?
• 53:56
  The rules are just accept the proposed conditions join our system
• 54:02
  Take the share that you get and be happy do not think about anything
• 54:06
  Others will think and decide for you
• 54:09
  And no matter what you say no matter who tries to cover up there now
• 54:14
  It really was so and the experts who are sitting
• 54:18
  Here perfectly remember and understand all of this. I understand it and I recall it
• 54:26
  Some self-satisfied believe that they had the right to teach everyone else
• 54:31
  others a preferential way to play along to be an obedient object of trade and exchange in order
• 54:39
  to avoid unnecessary problems and get some albeit small but
• 54:45
  Confident bonus for doing so
• 54:48
  And by the way, there are still enough such politicians in the old parts of the world in europe
• 54:54
  Those who objected tried to defend their own interests and views
• 54:59
  Considered at best so to speak
• 55:02
  Were weirdos
• 55:03
  Hinted that nothing would work out for you. Anyway, so it's better to just humble yourself
• 55:09
  Admit that there is nothing to gain
• 55:12
  Except an empty place and with all of the restrictions and the self-proclaimed
• 55:18
  global grants
• 55:20
  They were bought
• 55:21
  by this
• 55:23
  concept
• 55:24
  They did not hesitate and therefore
• 55:26
  Made everybody understand that resistance is useless. He's talking all over eastern europe
• 55:34
  This did not lead to anything good
• 55:37
  None of the world's problems were solved
• 55:40
  But constantly new ones have been added
• 55:44
  the global governance
• 55:47
  Institutions created in the previous era were either working or not working at all and to a large extent
• 55:54
  Most lost their effectiveness either way
• 55:58
  No matter how much potential a particular country or group of countries accumulated
• 56:04
  Every power still had a limit while the russian side as this audience knows we have an expression in our people
• 56:12
  There is no
• 56:15
  Reception against a break except for another break and it always appears you see
• 56:21
  This is the essence of what is happening in the world a break always appears
• 56:29
  in addition
• 56:30
  an attempt to control everything
• 56:33
  and uh
• 56:35
  the well he meant
• 56:36
  It's not translating the way and and everything around the world creates an additional tension
• 56:42
  And it beats to an internal instability that causes citizens of countries
• 56:47
  That are trying to play this role of grants to be citizens of countries to raise legal questions
• 56:54
  Why are we doing all of this?
• 56:57
  Some time ago. I had to hear something like this from our american colleagues who said we have gained peace
• 57:05
  But lost america
• 57:08
  I would like to ask the question
• 57:10
  Was it worth it? And did you gain anything at all by this?
• 57:16
  in societies led by western european states
• 57:20
  The obvious rejection of the excessive ambition of the political elite of these countries is growing
• 57:27
  The barometer of public opinion shows this everywhere
• 57:31
  The establishment does not want to give power away
• 57:36
  It goes for direct deception of its own citizens
• 57:41
  oppresses them
• 57:42
  And oppresses the situation
• 57:45
  on every external contour
• 57:48
  goes for any
• 57:50
  Intimidation within its own country more often on the verge of or even beyond their own law
• 57:57
  But it will not be possible to infinitely turn democratic electoral procedures
• 58:03
  Into a farce or manipulate the will of the people. This is how it was in romania
• 58:09
  Let's not go into details. It is happening in many countries
• 58:13
  In some countries they are they ban their political opponents who are already gaining legitimacy
• 58:20
  And more confidence from the electorate. We know this happened in the soviet union
• 58:25
  Do you remember visotsky's song and uh visotsky?
• 58:30
  I've given uh lectures on him. I really liked him. I've been to a couple of his museums in russia
• 58:35
  I had all of his albums and poetry vladimir visotsky was
• 58:41
  Anti-soviet, but he wasn't you know, he was just uh, he he told it like it was in song
• 58:47
  And so uh putin is a fan that is they even banned military parades soon
• 58:54
  Everything will be banned to hell, but this does not work
• 58:58
  Bans do not work the will of the people the will of the citizens of these countries is simple
• 59:05
  Let the leaders of the countries deal with the problems of the citizens take care of their safety and quality of life
• 59:12
  But do not chase chimeras
• 59:15
  The united states where the request of the people led to a rather radical change in the political vector
• 59:22
  Is a clear example of this
• 59:25
  For other countries I can say examples are you know, somewhat contagious?
• 59:31
  Submission of the majority to the minority is inherent in national and international relations
• 59:37
  In the period of the dominance of western countries
• 59:41
  That's given this has given way to more multilateral
• 59:46
  more cooperative approach based on agreements of the leading players
• 59:51
  And taking into account or trying to take into account the interests of all
• 59:58
  This of course does not guarantee absolute harmony or non-conflict
• 1:00:04
  The interests of the countries never completely coincide and the whole history of international relations
• 1:00:11
  Is certainly a struggle for their implementation
• 1:00:14
  But the fundamentally new world atmosphere
• 1:00:18
  the tone that the countries of the world's majority are increasingly asking for
• 1:00:24
  Allows us to hope that all players
• 1:00:27
  One way or another will have to take into account the interests of each other when working out
• 1:00:34
  solutions to regional and global problems
• 1:00:37
  after all
• 1:00:38
  It's a fact no one can achieve these goals alone in isolation from the others the world
• 1:00:46
  despite the exacerbation of conflict the crises the previous model of globalization the
• 1:00:53
  fragmentation of the world economy
• 1:00:55
  remains a whole
• 1:00:58
  Interconnected and interdependent. We know this from our own experience
• 1:01:03
  You know how much effort our opponents have made in recent years to
• 1:01:08
  roughly speaking
• 1:01:09
  Kick russia out of the world system drive us into political cultural
• 1:01:16
  informational isolation
• 1:01:18
  and economic autarky
• 1:01:21
  In terms of the number of and volume of punitive measures introduced against us, which are shamefully called sanctions
• 1:01:30
  Russia is an absolute record holder in world history
• 1:01:36
  30 or even more
• 1:01:39
  restriction in
• 1:01:40
  restrictions, so what
• 1:01:43
  He said so what we have achieved our goal
• 1:01:46
  I think those present here do not need to explain these efforts that have they have suffered a complete collapse
• 1:01:54
  Russia has shown the world the highest degree of stability the ability to withstand the strongest external
• 1:02:02
  pressures, which would break not only a single country but an entire coalition of states and
• 1:02:09
  Of course, we feel pride in Russia in our citizens in our armed forces
• 1:02:14
  But I wish to say more than that it turned out that Russia
• 1:02:19
  Simply does not let go of the very world system from which they wanted to drive us out
• 1:02:27
  because Russia needs it as a very important part of common balance and
• 1:02:33
  Not only because of its territory its people its defense
• 1:02:37
  technology and industrial pretends
• 1:02:40
  Potential its useful minerals, although of course everything I have just listed is very very important
• 1:02:48
  Those are very important factors
• 1:02:50
  But most important because world balance cannot be built without Russia
• 1:02:57
  not economically not
• 1:02:59
  strategically not
• 1:03:01
  culturally not logistically
• 1:03:03
  Not at all
• 1:03:05
  That's powerful friends and neighbors. Well, I think and he continues. Well, I think that those who tried to destroy all
• 1:03:14
  Of us were just can have finally been convinced of this some however
• 1:03:20
  Persistently hope to achieve this goal to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia as they say
• 1:03:27
  well, if they do not see the inevitability of the failure of this plan, I
• 1:03:32
  Hope that life will show it and it will reach
• 1:03:36
  the most stubborn of stubborn people
• 1:03:40
  It seems that they have already made this noise more than once threatened full blockades
• 1:03:46
  Tried to make people of Russia as they themselves express themselves and choose the rice right words to be ashamed
• 1:03:54
  They want to make the people of Russia suffer. They build plans one
• 1:04:00
  Fantastic plan after another it seems to me that it is time to calm down
• 1:04:06
  Look around
• 1:04:08
  Understand reality and somehow
• 1:04:10
  build relations in a completely different direction is
• 1:04:16
  And I'm gonna pause right here. I'm telling you this is important to read because you will not hear this
• 1:04:24
  Here you won't hear any of it
• 1:04:27
  All you will hear is a couple of things where he says, you know, Russia can withstand your sanctions
• 1:04:32
  That's all you'll hear you won't hear these words or he says look we're trying to play well with others
• 1:04:38
  but you don't want to you disagree because you want to
• 1:04:45
  Have you need to have an enemy and that has been us consistently since Clinton. He's telling us
• 1:04:53
  We also understand that the polycentric world is also very dynamic
• 1:04:58
  It is fragile and unstable because it is impossible to fix the position of such things forever
• 1:05:06
  To determine the alignment of forces for a very long time
• 1:05:12
  After all there are very many participants in the process and these forces are the most
• 1:05:19
  Asymmetrical complex all have their own winning sides and competitive advantages
• 1:05:25
  Which in each case create a unique combination and composition
• 1:05:29
  Today's world is extremely complaint
• 1:05:32
  Complex and a multi-aspect system and to describe it correctly to comprehend it
• 1:05:38
  There are not enough simple laws of logic the reason for the investigative
• 1:05:44
  Connections arises out of this pattern here. You need a philosophy of complexity
• 1:05:50
  Something similar to quantum mechanics which is wiser but more complex than
• 1:05:57
  Classical physics it is precisely. Thanks to this complexity of the world that the overall
• 1:06:04
  Compatibility in my opinion is still
• 1:06:07
  Rising after all a linear one-sided solution is impossible and a nonlinear
• 1:06:15
  multi-sided solution requires very serious
• 1:06:19
  professional
• 1:06:20
  unpretentious
• 1:06:21
  creative at times
• 1:06:23
  non-standard
• 1:06:25
  diplomacy
• 1:06:27
  Therefore I am convinced that we will witness a kind of Renaissance
• 1:06:33
  the revival of a high diplomatic art and its essence is in the ability to engage in dialogue and
• 1:06:42
  negotiate with your neighbors and like-minded people and
• 1:06:47
  What is no less important, but more difficult even with your opponents
• 1:06:52
  It is in this spirit the spirit of the 21st century diplomacy that new institutions are developing
• 1:07:00
  These are the expanded bricks
• 1:07:03
  community and
• 1:07:05
  organizations of large regions for example the Shanghai cooperation
• 1:07:10
  organization in Eurasia and more compact, but no less regional associations and
• 1:07:17
  There are many of them around the world now
• 1:07:20
  I will not list them all most of you know about them already all these new structures are different
• 1:07:27
  But they are united by the most important of qualities. They do not function according to the principle of hierarchy
• 1:07:35
  Subordinating to someone else or to the one that is the most important they are not against someone they are for
• 1:07:44
  Themselves I repeat once again the modern world needs agreement and not the imposition of someone else's will
• 1:07:53
  Hegemony and any hegemony simply will not cope with the scale of the tasks of the world
• 1:08:01
  ensuring international security in these conditions is
• 1:08:05
  extremely pressing and complex issue
• 1:08:09
  The
• 1:08:10
  Growing number of players with different goals and political cultures with their own traditions all this global
• 1:08:18
  Complexity makes a development of approaches to the security issue much more complicated than simple
• 1:08:26
  However, it opens up new opportunities for all of us
• 1:08:31
  block tricks
• 1:08:32
  Deliberately programmed for confrontation are certainly now
• 1:08:37
  anachronistic and meaningless
• 1:08:39
  We see for example how hard our European neighbors are trying to patch up the cracks in the buildings of Europe
• 1:08:47
  However, they want to overcome the split to strengthen the collapsed unity to which they have been previously bound
• 1:08:56
  Not at all by effective solutions to internal problems, but by blowing up the image of the enemy
• 1:09:04
  This is an old example, but the point is that people in these countries see and understand everything
• 1:09:11
  Anyway, that is why they take to the streets despite the pressure as I've already said of the situation of the external
• 1:09:19
  Contour and in search of this internal enemy
• 1:09:23
  Moreover they are recreating an enemy of Russia, which was invented
• 1:09:29
  Centuries ago most people in Europe cannot understand why they are so afraid of Russia
• 1:09:35
  That in order to confront Russia
• 1:09:37
  they need to tighten their belts more and more and forget their own interests simply give them up and
• 1:09:45
  clearly damage their own
• 1:09:47
  Policy but the ruling elites of United Europe continue impose to impose hysteria
• 1:09:53
  It turns out that war with Russian is almost on the verge
• 1:09:59
  They repeat this nonsense this mantra over and over again
• 1:10:05
  To be honest, I sometimes look at what they say, but I do not believe it
• 1:10:10
  They can't that that they do not believe it
• 1:10:13
  They cannot believe what they are saying that Russia is going to attack NATO
• 1:10:19
  It is impossible to believe this and they still try to persuade their own people
• 1:10:24
  What kind of people are these?
• 1:10:27
  They are either very incompetent if they really believe this because it is impossible to believe this nonsense
• 1:10:34
  or they are simply
• 1:10:36
  Disorderly people because they themselves do not believe this and their citizens are trying then they are trying to
• 1:10:44
  Convince their own citizens, but what other options are there?
• 1:10:48
  To be honest, I just want to say go to sleep sleep quietly and finally deal with your own problems
• 1:10:56
  Look at what is happening on the streets of European cities. What is happening to the economy industry?
• 1:11:03
  European culture and identity
• 1:11:05
  huge debt in an increasing crisis of their social systems, which have come out of
• 1:11:12
  lack of control of migration
• 1:11:15
  the growth of violence including political violence
• 1:11:20
  radicalization of the left-wing
• 1:11:21
  ultra-liberal racist and marginal societies pay attention to how Europe is
• 1:11:28
  sliding
• 1:11:29
  to the periphery of global competition
• 1:11:32
  We are well aware of how all the threats against Russia
• 1:11:38
  Russia's aggressive plans which Europe itself
• 1:11:41
  Intimidates us with we're sucked out of our fingers as I have said this self-indulgence is a dangerous thing
• 1:11:49
  And we cannot ignore what is happening
• 1:11:52
  We have no right to do this for the sake of ensuring our own security
• 1:11:56
  But we do this for our defense and our own security therefore
• 1:12:00
  We closely monitor the growing force of militarization in Europe
• 1:12:06
  Is it just words or is it time for us to take our own?
• 1:12:10
  responsible countermeasures
• 1:12:13
  We hear and you know about it for example in the FRG Federal Republic of Germany
• 1:12:20
  They say that the German army should be the most powerful in Europe again
• 1:12:24
  Well, we're listening very carefully to that we look at what is meant
• 1:12:30
  I think that no one has any doubt that such measures by Russia will not make themselves wait very long
• 1:12:37
  this threat of
• 1:12:39
  Retaliation against us seems to put it mildly very convincing
• 1:12:44
  It will be very convincing the response
• 1:12:48
  We ourselves have never initiated a military confrontation
• 1:12:53
  It is pointless unnecessary and absurd it leads to real problems and challenges and
• 1:13:00
  Society sooner or later will ask its leaders. What are their hopes desires and needs?
• 1:13:07
  And they do not wish to be ignored by these elites in their own countries
• 1:13:11
  But if someone still has a desire to compete with us in the military
• 1:13:16
  sphere as we say let them try
• 1:13:20
  Russia has proven more than once that when there is a threat to its security peace and tranquility of its citizens our
• 1:13:28
  Sovereignty and statehood we will respond quickly. There is no need to provoke us
• 1:13:35
  There was no case that in the end it did not end badly for the provocateur himself
• 1:13:42
  There is no need to wait for exceptions here or in the future
• 1:13:46
  There will not be any our history has proven that weakness is unacceptable because it creates a temptation an
• 1:13:55
  Illusion that some issue can be resolved against us with force
• 1:14:00
  Russia will not
• 1:14:02
  This is not a correct translation. Russia will never lose to weakness and indecisiveness
• 1:14:08
  Let those remember this whom we interfere with
• 1:14:15
  That's a bad translation to let those remember this that attempt to interfere with our very
• 1:14:22
  Existence those who dream of defeating us strategically
• 1:14:27
  speaking of those
• 1:14:28
  Who actively talk about this as we say there? They are far away. Where are these actors?
• 1:14:36
  He's talking about Europe. There are so many objective problems associated with the factors of natural technolog
• 1:14:43
  Technogenic and social nature in the world that it is unacceptable to spend force and energy on
• 1:14:50
  artificial invented
• 1:14:52
  Conflict it is unacceptable
• 1:14:55
  exhausting and simply stupid
• 1:14:58
  international security is a
• 1:15:01
  multifaceted and indivisible
• 1:15:03
  Phenomenon that no geopolitical value
• 1:15:07
  Valuable demarcation can break it
• 1:15:10
  Only meticulous I gotta get to the end of this him how much further does it have to go?
• 1:15:16
  Because I don't think I'm gonna make it
• 1:15:19
  Yeah, no, he he spoke for 45 minutes, and I don't have enough time to finish it
• 1:15:25
  If you have the
• 1:15:27
  Opportunity I do want to get to his
• 1:15:30
  questions, but
• 1:15:33
  man, I
• 1:15:34
  Am I am gonna run out tonight, unfortunately of time perhaps on Sunday night. I will put together a
• 1:15:42
  a
• 1:15:43
  Summary because it's very important to listen to new Ben's. Yeah, and I I do want to
• 1:15:51
  Talk about some of the things that are going to be coming up in Russia's presidency of the United Nations
• 1:15:58
  Security Council, which is all of October. I
• 1:16:04
  Rid of that King that they that the the West appointed
• 1:16:08
  they were talking a lot about Iran and
• 1:16:12
  how
• 1:16:13
  the West
• 1:16:15
  bent the rules
• 1:16:17
  That Iran has been trying to get something to work out and the West without any
• 1:16:25
  Consensus without a vote without anything
• 1:16:29
  Renewed
• 1:16:30
  They claim sanctions and the Ben's you're going. No, we don't recognize those and the guy says well, what about these?
• 1:16:37
  He you know, he goes what about all these sanctions? He goes they don't exist. They were not properly implemented and they expire and
• 1:16:46
  The West can't just say oh geez. We renewed these UN sanctions
• 1:16:51
  there are no UN sanctions against Iran after whatever day it was the 18th and
• 1:16:57
  I really wish I had enough time to go through the entire
• 1:17:03
  Vladimir Vladimirovich speech because I think
• 1:17:08
  aside from the fact that
• 1:17:12
  Well, you know what let's get to the part on Ukraine
• 1:17:17
  Where is that?
• 1:17:19
  Because what did he say on Ukraine?
• 1:17:21
  There are other factors and other geopolitical interests, this is back to Vladimir Vladimirovich it turned out that
• 1:17:29
  Ideological contradictions have nothing to do with
• 1:17:33
  Resolving problems in multi polarity. How can problems be resolved in a polycentric world?
• 1:17:40
  Yes, and how would the situation in Ukraine be resolved with multi polarity? I think if there was
• 1:17:47
  multi-polarity
• 1:17:49
  It's different polls would try to adjust a situation around the Ukraine conflict
• 1:17:56
  What it called on itself to those potential zones of tension to the breakdowns that exist in their own region
• 1:18:04
  and then a
• 1:18:05
  Collective decision would be much more responsible and weighted
• 1:18:11
  Based on adjustments, it would be necessary to understand that all participants in this difficult
• 1:18:17
  Situation have their own interests. They are justified by objective and subjective
• 1:18:24
  Circumstances and should not be ignored
• 1:18:28
  They can go on for a while, you know and what they're gonna do to expand NATO
• 1:18:33
  He took goes into bricks in China and India and Brazil
• 1:18:37
  It's a it's a long speech, but it doesn't look like I'm gonna get there
• 1:18:41
  I did want to go through some of the questions because there were so
• 1:18:47
  Many questions and what I thought I would do when the day started because I was reading
• 1:18:53
  There was an interesting
• 1:18:56
  opinion piece
• 1:18:57
  Where was it out of France?
• 1:18:59
  I think that they were talking about this Valdai debate club and how Putin is
• 1:19:06
  always
• 1:19:07
  one of the keynote
• 1:19:09
  Speakers and it always I think it always is in Sochi
• 1:19:13
  And I'd love to just hang out outside
• 1:19:18
  And see if I could talk to some of these people. I think it would be you know extremely I
• 1:19:25
  Don't know what it would certainly be worth a trip even if you were just hanging out outside in Sochi
• 1:19:30
  So she's beautiful anyway from everything that I've heard. I had a trip. I was supposed to go to Sochi in fact
• 1:19:35
  That's why they booted me out of the army. I got screwed on that deal and
• 1:19:40
  I should have retired from the military
• 1:19:43
  But they booted me out because I was in the middle of law school
• 1:19:46
  And they were they were sending me to Sochi and I said you can't send me to Sochi
• 1:19:51
  I'm I'm in law school cost me 40 grand a year. I can't just quit and they said well
• 1:19:58
  We won't make you go
• 1:20:00
  But if you don't go you can't reenlist as IQ a holes, you know, and it's like well
• 1:20:06
  I can't what am I supposed to do? Are you gonna pay for next year's 40 grand?
• 1:20:11
  What am I supposed to do? It was a bad deal. And so, you know
• 1:20:16
  And you know why they wanted me to go that was even the worst part of it
• 1:20:19
  They wanted me to go because the guy in fact there was a guy that was gonna outrank me
• 1:20:24
  But I was gonna go because I was the only one in the unit that had any in Russia
• 1:20:29
  Experience and they wanted me to go over and be in charge
• 1:20:33
  Even though I wasn't there was a couple of people that outranked me
• 1:20:37
  But they wanted me to go and be in charge and I said, why can't he go?
• 1:20:40
  Let him let him do it. Well, first of all, his Russian was horrible and second of all
• 1:20:45
  He had a drinking problem and I was like, well, I'm not his babysitter
• 1:20:51
  I'm supposed to give up loss. Anyway, I'm totally sidetracked and but that just the only time I was supposed to go to Sochi
• 1:20:58
  I didn't get a go and I was like I would go anytime other than
• 1:21:03
  You know to miss a semester of law school. I'm not gonna do that, you know
• 1:21:08
  Unless you pay me the money back. Well, they wouldn't do that either obviously
• 1:21:12
  But who paid the paid the freight on that old Sammy?
• 1:21:16
  There you have it. I got screwed again by the government
• 1:21:21
  Anyway, you don't need to hear that story at all, but you did anyway
• 1:21:25
  There you have it
• 1:21:27
  Well, I wanted to get to a couple of the questions and answers because there were so many
• 1:21:31
  He was on the stage the video if you go back and see this video
• 1:21:38
  His video is like three hours and 40 minutes that he was on the stage taking questions
• 1:21:47
  So let me tell you what is the Valdai discussion club for those who are unfamiliar?
• 1:21:53
  It's a the Valdai discussion club was set up in 2004
• 1:21:57
  Takes its name from the Lake Valdai near Valiki Novgorod the site of the club's first meeting the
• 1:22:05
  Symbolizing the club's importance Russian President Putin was among the officials to attend the first gathering more than 20 years ago
• 1:22:12
  This year's forum in Sochi is the 22nd annual gathering in
• 1:22:18
  2014 management of the club was taken over by Valdai club
• 1:22:22
  Under the auspices of Russian think-tank the Council of foreign and defense policy the Russian
• 1:22:29
  international affairs council
• 1:22:31
  Moscow State Institute of international relations and the higher school of economics
• 1:22:36
  The discussion club is headed by regular RT contributor fielder Lukyanov and is regarded as the most
• 1:22:45
  influential forum bringing together Russia experts and
• 1:22:50
  policymakers
• 1:22:52
  Lukyanov I read I read some stories of his from you and
• 1:22:57
  several times
• 1:22:58
  Symbolizing its reach this year's events brings together
• 1:23:02
  140 participants speakers from 42 countries
• 1:23:07
  including Algeria Brazil China Egypt Ethiopia Germany India Indonesia Iran Kazakhstan
• 1:23:13
  Malaysia Pakistan Russia South Africa United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States
• 1:23:20
  Uzbekistan and Venezuela among others, of course
• 1:23:24
  There were plenty. Let's see
• 1:23:29
  Putin is expected to address together. This is at noon today is expected to address the gathering in Sochi before taking part in a question-and-answer
• 1:23:38
  Kremlin spokesman Peskov has teased Putin's address this year by saying without
• 1:23:44
  Exaggeration the whole world is eagerly awaiting this speech as a rule
• 1:23:49
  It turns out to be extremely substantive and is discussed and analyzed for a long time and I'm gonna do it again
• 1:23:57
  Naturally because it's a it's a hell of a topic
• 1:24:00
  You're getting you're getting this guy got up there and spoke for an answered questions for three and a half hours
• 1:24:06
  This is important stuff
• 1:24:10
  Putin's address is expected to focus on polycentric world order. You heard about half of it. You didn't get it all
• 1:24:17
  Putin was scheduled to speak from 4 p.m. Local time
• 1:24:22
  But it might be another hour. Let's see. Then they showed
• 1:24:26
  some highlights of previous speeches
• 1:24:29
  when he was speaking
• 1:24:32
  He said there is no
• 1:24:35
  well, no, that wasn't him that was
• 1:24:39
  Lavrov I want to get back to some of the questions when they get there
• 1:24:44
  Um
• 1:24:48
  Peskov was still speaking before he came out and he said there's been an unhinged position being taken by
• 1:24:54
  European backers of Ukraine and in a rather abstract stance that shows Kiev itself
• 1:25:01
  Doesn't add predictability or stability to the situation around the conflict. They don't want continued negotiations
• 1:25:09
  They don't want to try to reach an agreement on anything
• 1:25:12
  He said but nevertheless
• 1:25:14
  We must proceed calmly and maintain an openness to dialogue and communication with all parties
• 1:25:22
  Let's see
• 1:25:27
  There's Peskov again. I want to get to the questions that well, there's so many questions
• 1:25:33
  one of the
• 1:25:35
  Here's here's one of the key comments, which I believe I shared with you
• 1:25:41
  multilateral solutions require
• 1:25:44
  Considerable in PR impartiality and sometimes a non-standard diplomacy
• 1:25:50
  Putin says I am convinced we will witness a renaissance of higher
• 1:25:55
  Diplomacy that aims at coming to term with your own neighbors
• 1:26:00
  New institutions are being developed like bricks Shanghai cooperation
• 1:26:05
  They are different but united on the same trait not on subordination
• 1:26:11
  They are not against anyone but for themselves
• 1:26:16
  Tell you what, this is this is a hell of a speech and if you're unfamiliar with it find something here is the lady
• 1:26:24
  Where is she?
• 1:26:26
  former US Senate aide for Joe Biden
• 1:26:30
  Tara Reid
• 1:26:32
  Asked the Russian president about his take on the inflow of nationals of Western countries
• 1:26:39
  Who seek to move to Russia?
• 1:26:42
  Reid herself gained Russian citizenship
• 1:26:45
  Last month two years after she applied for asylum in the country. I
• 1:26:52
  Cannot say there's been a huge influx
• 1:26:55
  Said Putin, but there's still been thousands of people
• 1:26:59
  Indeed people are coming especially from European countries not for political
• 1:27:06
  Reasons, but for the sake of values
• 1:27:09
  Because there's a sort of gender terrorism
• 1:27:13
  I would say many people are unhappy with the treatment of their children and
• 1:27:19
  People are looking for safe havens to escape that he said, can you believe that?
• 1:27:26
  I mean, I mean, it's exactly what I was talking about on the phone
• 1:27:30
  earlier
• 1:27:32
  crazy
• 1:27:34
  Stuff
• 1:27:35
  Russian president accused France of piracy when asked about a recent raid on an oil tanker
• 1:27:42
  I don't know if you heard about that
• 1:27:43
  Alleging that the Russian vessel was part of a shadow fleet and he said they were apparently looking for military
• 1:27:51
  Cargo drones and other such things. There is nothing of the kind there
• 1:27:55
  There never was and there cannot be he said
• 1:28:00
  If you if the EU wishes to be a powerful
• 1:28:05
  Civilizational center it is now in decline
• 1:28:08
  He said and he invoked an assessment made by then German Chancellor Helmut Kohl in the early 90s
• 1:28:16
  If Europe wants to remain one of the independent centers of the world civilization
• 1:28:21
  Then it must be with Russia Kohl said at the time. Do you remember that? I do remember that
• 1:28:28
  Well, there's all kinds of stuff to go into here and I I encourage you all to
• 1:28:34
  Seek further information
• 1:28:36
  Whether you get it from me or not. I am here nightly
• 1:28:41
  From Sunday through Thursday. It's my last night of the week for the show
• 1:28:45
  I will be here on Sunday night for a deep dive and I believe I will continue
• 1:28:51
  with this trend because I think it is important to listen to nebensia and
• 1:28:56
  to go into some of the discussions that Vladimir Putin was having many things are happening in the world right now and
• 1:29:05
  he
• 1:29:06
  If you listen to him closely, he's saying we will defend our interests
• 1:29:12
  to the maximum
• 1:29:14
  but we're ready to work with the rest of the world and we always have been I
• 1:29:20
  You know hate to say it
• 1:29:21
  But it's hard not to agree with him when he's been saying the same thing since Bill Clinton times
• 1:29:29
  And so I don't know where to go anyway, this is international flavor, I'm Samuel Trapp you can always listen in to me
