  This incredibly awesome music to bring you some
• 0:02
  incredibly awesome political talk on damn radio Hello
• 0:09
  Good evening and welcome.
• 0:11
  I am Samuel trap.
• 0:12
  This is international flavor.
• 0:15
  You are on damn radio Here we are
• 0:18
  at damn radio.com forward slash live for
• 0:22
  your listening pleasure and We are coming to
• 0:26
  you live from the Lake Ozark real estate
• 0:29
  of the art Studio and you can phone
• 0:33
  in should you feel the desire?
• 0:35
  I might even answer five seven three seven
• 0:37
  four six 80-20 Some pretty hilarious events
• 0:42
  of today.
• 0:43
  There's some things going on and I normally
• 0:45
  don't do this because number one it's oh
• 0:50
  It's not international.
• 0:52
  I suppose it could be but I like
• 0:54
  the international stuff I think JR does a
• 0:56
  fantabulous job of of giving us all the
• 1:02
  news and events and hilarity of the day
• 1:05
  From the national side.
• 1:08
  Sometimes I get into it and I complain
• 1:10
  because they're all a bunch of Wankers that's
• 1:14
  an international word.
• 1:15
  If you don't know what a wanker is
• 1:16
  perhaps you should find out But I couldn't
• 1:19
  resist this one because this one just came
• 1:21
  out not long ago Maybe JR had it
• 1:24
  earlier and I didn't hear it, but it
• 1:27
  says it just happened on October 15 And
• 1:31
  it's a Nancy Pelosi clip It is Nancy
• 1:35
  Pelosi telling a reporter to shut up So
• 1:42
  that word for our Russian word of the
• 1:44
  day We're gonna tell you how to say
• 1:45
  shut up in Russian and that is one
• 1:49
  word is that knees meaning?
• 1:52
  Shut it basically is that knees means shut
• 1:56
  up and it's rather rude similar to shut
• 2:00
  up and Here you go you get a
• 2:05
  listen to her tell this reporter and I
• 2:07
  haven't been able to figure out the volume
• 2:09
  on this so I hope it's not too
• 2:10
  loud was pretty loud in my ear.
• 2:13
  So, let's see what happens when I play
• 2:15
  it Are you at all concerned about the
• 2:24
  new January 6th committee finding you liable for
• 2:26
  that day Why did you refuse the National
• 2:30
  Guard on January 6?
• 2:32
  Shut up.
• 2:34
  I did not refuse the National Guard.
• 2:36
  The president didn't send it Why are you
• 2:38
  coming here with Republican talking points as if
• 2:40
  you're a serious journalist the American people want
• 2:42
  to know we still have questions Thank you
• 2:51
  On there and we should have Did she
• 2:55
  say they had responsibility ask me in the
• 2:57
  middle of the thing, but they've already breached
• 3:00
  She's got a mask This part we know
• 3:06
  the Capitol Police, I mean the National Guard
• 3:09
  why weren't the National Guard there to begin
• 3:11
  with?
• 3:14
  They thought that they had sufficient that was
• 3:16
  not a question about it, but they don't
• 3:18
  know They clearly didn't know She's crazy
• 3:28
  so Maybe she's not crazy.
• 3:31
  Maybe she's just a loony bin.
• 3:33
  Maybe she just off her rocker But you
• 3:36
  know what?
• 3:37
  The fact is that they get in there
• 3:39
  and they stay and they never freaky Leave
• 3:44
  they just never leave.
• 3:46
  It's like they outstay their welcome.
• 3:48
  They get fantabulously wealthy and It drives me
• 3:53
  Farging bananas.
• 3:55
  I do not like this.
• 3:57
  I don't like it one little bit.
• 4:00
  I Just don't so I was listening to
• 4:03
  a lecture by Andre Bezrukov and it is
• 4:06
  called Strategic where is that one?
• 4:10
  But it's in Russian.
• 4:11
  So you don't get a listen and what
• 4:13
  I did was I Made sure to get
• 4:17
  that thing Get the whole thing for us
• 4:22
  hopefully in some of his words and there
• 4:27
  it did show up so Basically, this is
• 4:31
  some good stuff Because he gave a it's
• 4:35
  called his lecture was called strategic foresight from
• 4:40
  signal to decision and What he argued why
• 4:44
  he argued it the facts and examples he
• 4:47
  cited and his concrete recommendations for Russia and
• 4:52
  what happens post transition of all of this
• 4:55
  because he's he's He's very well spoken and
• 4:59
  I like to listen to him let me
• 5:01
  give you a hint and we're not going
• 5:03
  to get it till later in the show,
• 5:05
  but I'll give you a an Executive summary.
• 5:09
  Let's call it a a one paragraph core
• 5:12
  claim of what he is saying he's saying
• 5:16
  the world is entering a once in a
• 5:20
  century Technological pivot now we've heard this from
• 5:24
  other people too that say that Remember me
• 5:27
  talking about this even several months ago that
• 5:30
  said that there were That the differences you
• 5:33
  are seeing now and the the speed with
• 5:38
  technology at which technology is going to advance
• 5:41
  is going to be Extremely great in the
• 5:45
  next 10 to 20 years.
• 5:47
  You're going to see moves like You saw
• 5:51
  Only when the telephone the automobile the airplane
• 5:55
  when when all of the the radio all
• 5:58
  of these things came Just bombarding upon us
• 6:01
  and changed the face of the planet so
• 6:03
  he's making something similar a similar sort of
• 6:07
  comment and He said, you know, it's once
• 6:10
  in a century technological pivot AI genetics new
• 6:15
  energy industry stacks comparable to 1890 to 1914
• 6:19
  shift that reshaped economics and geopolitics and the
• 6:24
  big players are already Racing to write the
• 6:28
  rules of the next cycle now I've argued
• 6:31
  myself that Rick Russia India China are going
• 6:35
  to be at the top of this not
• 6:36
  only because of the huge Expansive territory that
• 6:41
  they cover but the and and all of
• 6:44
  the massive resources that Russia has but the
• 6:47
  population That they have and the momentum the
• 6:52
  they are they are They are the next
• 6:55
  cycle.
• 6:56
  No, that's that's just me and I have
• 6:58
  an economics degree, but I'm not at the
• 7:00
  level You know of a Jeffrey Sachs who's
• 7:02
  argued something similar or at this guy Andre
• 7:05
  Bezrukov, which Bezrukov means no hands hmm, he
• 7:09
  didn't have any hands and so Bezrukov It's
• 7:13
  just like in In America, you know, we
• 7:17
  have last names like Sandman or last names
• 7:20
  like I don't know what Miller You know,
• 7:23
  what is a Miller?
• 7:24
  It's the guy who mills right and but
• 7:28
  they have the same thing guy with one,
• 7:29
  you know one hand and Anyway, he expects
• 7:33
  fragmentation into competing techno economic blocks and a
• 7:39
  very turbulent transition Including a extremely deep economic
• 7:46
  crisis now I tend to believe this or
• 7:52
  Feel the same way we got an economic
• 7:54
  crisis coming the dollars gonna collapse in my
• 7:58
  opinion And it's you know, we're gonna want
• 8:01
  that gold-backed We're gonna want something else
• 8:05
  and I believe the rest not we we're
• 8:07
  gonna we're gonna wish that our Fearless leaders
• 8:10
  had played this a little bit Better than
• 8:13
  they have and anyway, he also alleges that
• 8:16
  a fight along the southern rim of Eurasia
• 8:19
  where new industrial capacity and massive middle class
• 8:25
  has arisen Russia might use its own strategic
• 8:30
  foresight to build a billion person Economic technological
• 8:35
  space with their partners India Iran Southeast Asia
• 8:40
  China standardized platforms invest in critical technology chips
• 8:45
  radio electronic tronics AI aviation and hardwired scenario
• 8:50
  thinking into state management They won't he wants
• 8:54
  to forecast forecasting in this his framing is
• 8:58
  a memory of the future you plan not
• 9:01
  to be right But to become adaptive and
• 9:05
  make better decisions sooner.
• 9:07
  It was an Interesting hour and a half
• 9:12
  long speech that he gave and so I've
• 9:14
  kind of summarized I mean, that's the executive
• 9:17
  summary and we're not gonna get to it
• 9:18
  because there's plenty of other interesting happy crappy
• 9:21
  to get into tonight that we wish to
• 9:24
  get to and I have a lot of
• 9:26
  Stuff to cover and it's gonna be fun
• 9:29
  Why because I said so and I'm gonna
• 9:31
  have fun whether you do or not How
• 9:34
  do you like them apples friends and neighbors?
• 9:37
  Let's see Where what else did I have
• 9:40
  in my history channel here of my YouTube's
• 9:43
  besides?
• 9:44
  Nancy Pelosi snapping we had something else quite
• 9:50
  interesting on the old Trumpster and this one
• 9:55
  is a very short and I might play
• 9:57
  it twice because I found a short one
• 9:59
  and Then I found one that was a
• 10:02
  little bit longer that kind of got the
• 10:04
  whole the whole part of it because this
• 10:08
  I Can't really control.
• 10:10
  It's only a short, you know, and so
• 10:12
  you don't get to see the whole thing,
• 10:14
  which is driving me crazy But here, let
• 10:17
  me see if I can drag that back
• 10:19
  because basically what he is saying is Is
• 10:25
  About bricks that he is saying J.
• 10:28
  R.
• 10:29
  Meyer may have already played this if he
• 10:30
  did I'm sorry to repeat but guess what
• 10:32
  my program talk about what I want and
• 10:34
  he's talking about bricks and I Don't think
• 10:38
  he's telling that you know, I See a
• 10:41
  Pinocchio nose growing there.
• 10:43
  This is not Accurate friends and neighbors, but
• 10:47
  let's try it Anyway, just because it's the
• 10:49
  Trumpster and we like to listen to him
• 10:52
  But I think he has a tendency to
• 10:54
  speak first and find the facts later Which
• 10:59
  is sometimes happens.
• 11:00
  So let's listen to what he has to
• 11:02
  say.
• 11:02
  I don't anybody wants to bury be in
• 11:04
  bricks That's fine, but we're gonna put tariffs
• 11:06
  on your nation.
• 11:07
  Everybody dropped out They're all dropping out of
• 11:09
  bricks bricks was an attack on the dollar
• 11:11
  and I said you want to play that
• 11:13
  game I'm gonna put tariffs on your on
• 11:16
  your all of your product coming into the
• 11:18
  u.s They said like I said, we're
• 11:21
  dropping out of bricks Dropped out there dropped
• 11:24
  out.
• 11:24
  They're all dropping out of bricks.
• 11:26
  I don't anybody wants to bury there is
• 11:28
  nobody that has said that Nobody I did
• 11:32
  a I did a search for this.
• 11:34
  I tried to find it somebody please find
• 11:37
  for me One country who says they are
• 11:41
  dropping out of bricks.
• 11:44
  I I've been looking ever since I heard
• 11:47
  this Late last night and I Got nothing
• 11:54
  There's nothing there and they're saying that people
• 11:57
  are leaving.
• 11:58
  He also said Another Pinocchio in my opinion.
• 12:03
  We'll wait and see what that says tomorrow.
• 12:05
  But this is a Pinocchio he said Let's
• 12:09
  see if I can find it because that
• 12:11
  was in a different Clippage that he gave
• 12:14
  us and we'll get a little bit more
• 12:16
  into it as well, but I want to
• 12:17
  play this There's Pelosi again.
• 12:20
  Oh, that's one unattractive woman.
• 12:23
  You know that Let's see here.
• 12:26
  And maybe it's just because do you know
• 12:27
  what?
• 12:29
  this is sometimes you just look at a
• 12:31
  woman or or a person and you're just
• 12:35
  repulsed Okay, that's a repulsive woman Just like
• 12:40
  Hillary Clinton, I cannot stand it I can't
• 12:43
  stand to look at them even because they
• 12:46
  don't tell the truth.
• 12:47
  I don't think they even believe what they're
• 12:49
  saying That's the problem as you sit and
• 12:52
  you watch him talking and you're going, you
• 12:54
  know If you weren't in public you wouldn't
• 12:56
  say that if you were talking to you
• 12:59
  know Your loved ones or in a private
• 13:01
  place with somebody that you were strategizing with
• 13:04
  You would say something different to them then
• 13:08
  you're saying to us even now I think
• 13:12
  it's nonsense So we're gonna go now and
• 13:15
  in the first part of this and I
• 13:16
  and I'm not even sure where the Modi
• 13:18
  thing is but it comes up in here
• 13:20
  in a minute and But but the old
• 13:23
  trumpster and in the first part he talks
• 13:25
  about bricks again so and you'll get the
• 13:28
  full quote of what he was saying about
• 13:30
  people leaving and So let us start and
• 13:34
  see if and I'll let it play for
• 13:36
  a little while just because he's amusing anyway
• 13:38
  and Let's see what he has to say
• 13:41
  because he also says that Narendra Modi has
• 13:45
  assured him that India will no longer be
• 13:48
  buying Russian oil Curious that is a complete
• 13:54
  turnaround Why would India?
• 13:57
  Engage in a complete turnaround you think they're
• 14:02
  doing it because 25% 50% I
• 14:05
  don't think they're doing it at all and
• 14:07
  I need I'm a doubting Samuel as many
• 14:10
  of you know And so I need something
• 14:13
  more than Trump just saying it Okay, I
• 14:16
  don't believe that people are bailing out of
• 14:19
  bricks so far Nobody has shown me that
• 14:21
  and I went and checked all the bricks
• 14:23
  webpages, you know Indonesia was the last to
• 14:26
  join back in like February or March or
• 14:29
  whatever it was But there hasn't been anybody
• 14:32
  bail out that I'm aware of nobody's gone
• 14:37
  Nothing that I've been able to find says
• 14:40
  that people are leaving bricks, so Sorry, mr.
• 14:45
  President Happy birthday mr.
• 14:51
  President No, but I need Proof I need
• 14:56
  something more Than a guy saying it.
• 15:00
  I need a little bit more.
• 15:02
  But anyway, let's listen to the story of
• 15:04
  what?
• 15:05
  These two are saying whoever these people are
• 15:08
  once Trump him.
• 15:09
  I recognize the other guy thinks Is that
• 15:13
  Patel?
• 15:13
  I think he was having an FBI briefing,
• 15:16
  but I really don't know listen to this
• 15:17
  ready That's not trading in conspiracy theories, okay
• 15:21
  Mr. President, thank you so much.
• 15:23
  Thank you in light of China's export curbs
• 15:26
  on rare earths.
• 15:27
  Do you view India as a Reliable partner
• 15:30
  going forward and are you planning to meet
• 15:33
  Prime Minister Modi in Malaysia?
• 15:36
  Are you open to talks?
• 15:38
  Yes, he's a friend of mine.
• 15:39
  We have a great relationship.
• 15:41
  He just said that two days ago as
• 15:42
  you know We have a great relationship.
• 15:44
  No, we were not happy with him buying
• 15:46
  oil From Russia Because that lets Russia continue
• 15:50
  on with this ridiculous war where they've lost
• 15:52
  a million and a half people by the
• 15:54
  way Russia's lost a million and a half
• 15:55
  people.
• 15:56
  Isn't it amusing that he's now talking about
• 15:58
  Russia losing people and he's no longer focused
• 16:02
  on Ukraine who estimates are far greater than
• 16:07
  a million and a half for them Very
• 16:10
  odd because he was not too long ago
• 16:13
  Saying that Ukraine is lost at least that
• 16:17
  amount of people Now he's not saying it
• 16:20
  and he's putting it all on Putin because
• 16:24
  of what?
• 16:26
  It's only the only way this war is
• 16:29
  continuing to go on is because India and
• 16:32
  China are buying their oil right soldiers mostly
• 16:37
  This is a war that should have never
• 16:39
  started but it's a war that Russia should
• 16:40
  have won in the first week and they're
• 16:43
  going into the fourth year and I want
• 16:46
  to see it stop So I was not
• 16:47
  happy that India was buying oil and he
• 16:50
  assured me today that they will not be
• 16:52
  buying oil from Russia So today today Narendra
• 16:58
  Modi told Our fearless leader and I say
• 17:04
  that for real him.
• 17:05
  He is fearless, but I told our our
• 17:09
  main in the White House That we are
• 17:14
  no longer buying Russian oil.
• 17:16
  That's what he said We will not be
• 17:19
  buying oil from Russia Somehow I doubt that
• 17:24
  to be true and we shall have to
• 17:26
  see what happens tomorrow And I've gone out
• 17:29
  and I've done a search to try to
• 17:30
  find any supporting evidence of this the only
• 17:34
  supporting evidence are People like 1214 channels repeating
• 17:40
  what Trump said, but no comments from Jaishankar
• 17:45
  no comments from Modi himself.
• 17:47
  No comments from the what do they call
• 17:50
  it their?
• 17:51
  external affairs MEA Ministry of External Affairs nothing
• 17:56
  We don't have that and so sorry, but
• 17:59
  I have to see that before I believe
• 18:01
  it I I'm not saying it can't happen.
• 18:04
  I'm not saying it won't happen I'm saying
• 18:07
  there's no Confirmation of that yet.
• 18:12
  Let us continue.
• 18:13
  That's a big stop Now I got to
• 18:16
  get China to do the same thing You
• 18:18
  know that that is relatively easy compared to
• 18:21
  what we just did over the last Week
• 18:24
  in the Middle East Middle East was 3
• 18:26
  ,000 years.
• 18:27
  Yeah, I don't care about it yet stuff
• 18:30
  Not that I don't care, but you know
• 18:32
  I I have a set of topics related
• 18:35
  to India related to bricks and related to
• 18:38
  things I want to talk about we may
• 18:40
  come back to this possibly Possibly we will
• 18:45
  come back, but I'm not positive Okay and
• 18:49
  we're gonna jump around a little bit today
• 18:51
  because I also listened to Maria's a hot
• 18:55
  of us.
• 18:55
  She had a three-hour briefing and I
• 18:57
  listened to a good chunk of that today
• 18:59
  as well which was a lot of fun
• 19:01
  and You know, she's she's always fairly Entertaining
• 19:08
  let's say and some of the things that
• 19:11
  she talks about Let's see I Want to
• 19:16
  look where am I gonna go?
• 19:17
  I have so many places to go that
• 19:20
  it's rather rather Comical where to go I
• 19:25
  wanted to talk about one thing from last
• 19:30
  night's show So I had to because I
• 19:35
  was going a little loopy on this and
• 19:40
  I Went into it in two different ways
• 19:44
  first I went into the you know Remember
• 19:50
  JR told me I should Get on and
• 19:53
  do some research whether it's a I or
• 19:56
  any other way and I'll tell you how
• 19:59
  this Went off.
• 20:00
  Okay, I Did a bit of a search
• 20:05
  and First of all, I asked The AI
• 20:11
  goddess, I don't know why but I have
• 20:14
  her speak to me in a female voice
• 20:16
  and maybe I just like that I don't
• 20:18
  know.
• 20:19
  Maybe I want somebody to tell me things
• 20:21
  in a female voice and I asked if
• 20:25
  I was just lunatic or maybe it's possible
• 20:31
  that the caller was a lunatic and that
• 20:35
  you can't just take a tomahawk and throw
• 20:39
  it into the water and Have it take
• 20:43
  off on its own.
• 20:44
  Do you need a launcher?
• 20:45
  And so I did a little research So
• 20:48
  yes, I thought I had done all the
• 20:50
  appropriate research on them yesterday And I must
• 20:52
  admit that I haven't been familiar with missiles
• 20:55
  for quite a while Because I haven't been
• 20:59
  liquidating them as we used to say in
• 21:05
  When I was in the business as it
• 21:08
  were and guess what the word is for
• 21:10
  liquidation in Russian.
• 21:13
  Oh This is difficult Liquidate see Liquidate see
• 21:19
  it's liquidation.
• 21:21
  And so my old Russian instructor would always
• 21:25
  say Words that are the same in Russian
• 21:30
  as they are in English like Telephone Telephone
• 21:37
  he'd say he'd say this at the end.
• 21:40
  Oh Sam.
• 21:41
  Did you know that?
• 21:42
  That starter a ruska slova that's an old
• 21:45
  Russian word Because according to him the Russians
• 21:50
  invented everything first right and not the other
• 21:54
  way around they didn't just they didn't take
• 21:57
  our technology and Change it around They do
• 22:02
  you know what's really funny and I'm totally
• 22:04
  all over the map today, but it just
• 22:05
  reminded me of another thing I was over
• 22:08
  there.
• 22:09
  Oh One of the first times I was
• 22:11
  over there and a show a cartoon came
• 22:16
  on TV and Gets guess what this show
• 22:20
  was called and I've never researched it never
• 22:23
  and I I'm afraid to haven't done it,
• 22:27
  but that it's a cartoon show and it's
• 22:30
  about a bear and a a piglet and
• 22:35
  an eeyore and They have all these things
• 22:39
  and guess what to name it a show
• 22:40
  is Vinnie pooh Vinnie pooh Winnie pooh, and
• 22:46
  it's Vinnie pooh, and he has a lot
• 22:49
  of the same adventures and He's been around
• 22:52
  for at least an equal amount of time
• 22:56
  some of their earliest cartoons are a Vinnie
• 23:01
  pooh and It made me think man This
• 23:05
  is horrible now, they've got me thinking that
• 23:08
  maybe what was it a a Milne was
• 23:10
  it with the Vinnie pooh?
• 23:13
  That took it over here, and I don't
• 23:14
  I don't disbelieve that I'm sure it was
• 23:16
  you know some Russian guy stole it and
• 23:18
  took it Over there, I don't know, but
• 23:20
  they have Vinnie pooh, and we have Winnie
• 23:21
  the pooh, and they were nearly the same
• 23:25
  But it didn't say The name of the
• 23:28
  author of the stuff on their cartoons, and
• 23:31
  so I found it rather Interesting anyway back
• 23:35
  to the tomahawks because we got to go
• 23:37
  back to the tomahawk a little bit for
• 23:39
  our show tonight Because the short answer given
• 23:43
  to me was that I Surprise surprise.
• 23:48
  I'm not crazy.
• 23:50
  I Am not crazy.
• 23:52
  You probably can't just throw them into the
• 23:54
  water and They will self launch You know
• 23:59
  tomahawks do not self launch if you drop
• 24:02
  them in the water they absolutely need a
• 24:06
  purpose-built launcher and canister and a fire
• 24:11
  control system to work and here's why the
• 24:16
  idea of throwing them in the water and
• 24:19
  Letting them go just doesn't hold up because
• 24:23
  the canister is The launcher Every tomahawk you
• 24:29
  see on a ship a submarine or on
• 24:31
  a truck sits in a sealed canister eyes
• 24:35
  round with a booster rails umbilicals to connect
• 24:41
  and environmental controls that canister provides power communication
• 24:48
  and a safe mechanical interface for ignition and
• 24:54
  Separation meaning no canister no launch That's point
• 25:02
  one point number two Mission data and crypto
• 25:05
  have to be loaded and verified and this
• 25:08
  is why the u.s. Providing this data
• 25:12
  is Entering the war that's what's happening.
• 25:17
  Not that they're not already in Anyway, but
• 25:20
  a tomahawk cannot fly without a full mission
• 25:25
  load route altitude corridor constraint no fly boxes
• 25:30
  and Crypto keys like you see on you
• 25:34
  know Turn your key meaner shooting off nuclear
• 25:38
  weapon.
• 25:39
  You gotta have a key, right?
• 25:42
  That is done through the tomahawk fire control
• 25:47
  System which is shipboard or on the Army's
• 25:51
  ground systems.
• 25:52
  Yeah, I can't just Turn it on it
• 25:56
  has to be controlled.
• 25:57
  Okay number three alignment and arming logic pre
• 26:03
  -launch the missiles navigation system needs INS GPS
• 26:07
  alignment arming requires a strict chain of consent
• 26:12
  interlock environmental queue Acceleration timing safe to arm
• 26:17
  logic programs These are provided in a controlled
• 26:21
  sequence by the launcher and the fire control
• 26:24
  system Not by the depth of the water
• 26:27
  you drop them into Okay number four Physics
• 26:33
  itself means this is impossible.
• 26:36
  This is actually probably the only one I
• 26:38
  got right Without looking into it, but it
• 26:42
  needs to be it needs a guided boost
• 26:45
  in a known orientation the tomahawk leaves the
• 26:51
  canister under a Solid rocket booster thrust like
• 26:57
  any missile, right?
• 26:59
  Then it deploys wings and starts a turbofan
• 27:03
  a free floating round in the water would
• 27:07
  just tumble Ingest water or break long before
• 27:13
  stable flight sub-launched tomahawks aren't loose rounds
• 27:19
  they are Encapsulated and ejected from a torpedo
• 27:23
  tube Which I said last night in a
• 27:26
  controlled way before the booster lights up Okay,
• 27:31
  number five safety and handling a launcher exists
• 27:35
  to keep crews and bystanders alive the safe
• 27:41
  pins the umbilicals the thermal control the command
• 27:45
  destruct the misfire procedure and Blast and fragment
• 27:48
  shielding are all there drop it in and
• 27:51
  hope it lights up would fail every safety
• 27:53
  and legal standard on earth and the cost
• 27:58
  reality Okay The cost reality is this a
• 28:07
  100 million dollar launcher conflates the whole battle
• 28:13
  the whole battery launchers plus command vehicle Plus
• 28:18
  comms plus spares plus training plus canisters plus
• 28:23
  missiles With one single truck, okay So you
• 28:28
  have to have this hundred million dollar launcher
• 28:32
  system, which includes all of that, right?
• 28:35
  But even a cheap Single cell concept which
• 28:39
  they don't do anymore.
• 28:40
  I told you they Marines got rid of
• 28:43
  it the army never implemented in the first
• 28:45
  place It's still need a single cell concept
• 28:48
  would one missile would still need power communications
• 28:52
  alignment Direction and thrust fire control and a
• 28:58
  certified canister That's the price of making a
• 29:03
  complex weapon reliably repeatably safe and the bottom
• 29:11
  line You cannot have a tomahawk without a
• 29:15
  launcher is correct Just dropping it in the
• 29:19
  water signs sounds like a mashup of how
• 29:23
  submarines launch missiles from tubes and encapsulated rounds
• 29:28
  and how VLS typhons fire from strike length
• 29:33
  canisters In every case you have to have
• 29:36
  launcher plus canister plus fire control.
• 29:39
  Those are Non-negotiable and I found it
• 29:44
  very interesting because every once in a while
• 29:46
  usually about once a week.
• 29:48
  I will find a I Assume everybody knows
• 29:54
  who this is But I don't know I
• 29:56
  could be one of the nuts that that
• 29:58
  does and maybe a lot of people don't
• 29:59
  listen to him But there's a guy who
• 30:02
  has a Channel, and he's interviewed all the
• 30:05
  time by other channels and his name is
• 30:08
  Colonel Douglas McGregor and he's been talking about
• 30:11
  these topics for a long time about Ukraine
• 30:17
  about Russia about all these things and just
• 30:20
  so happened that today I was listening to
• 30:25
  his Show and he Guess what?
• 30:32
  He was talking about Tomahawks and what he
• 30:36
  said was the following Let's see, here's what
• 30:42
  he put He had he had tomahawk remarks
• 30:48
  Where'd he go?
• 30:50
  what he said about tomahawks was Somewhat similar
• 30:55
  to what I said You know the no
• 30:59
  canister no fire control no launch and what
• 31:02
  he said Not that the tomahawks if given
• 31:07
  to Ukraine Will not be any sort of
• 31:11
  strategic game changer He called the tomahawks and
• 31:17
  I never thought of this part, but I
• 31:19
  but I I mean It's not that I
• 31:20
  didn't think about it.
• 31:21
  I didn't focus on this part.
• 31:23
  He called tomahawks an old system It still
• 31:27
  has its uses But he says that it'll
• 31:30
  never settle the war and that Trump and
• 31:33
  Zelensky are overestimating this missile and Underestimating any
• 31:39
  Russian response to it.
• 31:41
  I Can see that and I and I
• 31:44
  probably agree with it Range and punch as
• 31:47
  he said it.
• 31:49
  He said it reaches a little out a
• 31:51
  little further than a thousand miles and I
• 31:55
  think It's a little less than a thousand
• 31:59
  miles You know according to what what I
• 32:03
  recall about it, and then he said it
• 32:05
  carries a 3,300 pound warhead, but I
• 32:09
  think he's wrong in that I thought it
• 32:11
  was a thousand pound warhead, but maybe it's
• 32:14
  3,300 Maybe he's right.
• 32:17
  I'm not but he says the air and
• 32:19
  sea launched uses for Ukraine Just like I
• 32:23
  said are Out that they can't launch from
• 32:27
  the air because they don't have aircraft you
• 32:30
  know and those are those are not in
• 32:32
  existence anyway to launch tomahawks and sea launched
• 32:37
  uses there's they don't have anybody that would
• 32:40
  definitely have to be America that did it
• 32:42
  and So he said those are out and
• 32:45
  the only way they can do it is
• 32:48
  a ground launched System as the only practical
• 32:52
  path for Ukraine and then surprise surprise What
• 32:55
  did he get into ground launch systems?
• 32:58
  And he said those are boutique at best
• 33:00
  and have to be run by the United
• 33:02
  States He described the army version as a
• 33:05
  boutique weapon modified by for u.s. Ground
• 33:08
  Forces, but really they were only modified in
• 33:13
  The Philippines and He's stressing the mission planning
• 33:17
  and execution would lie entirely in US hands
• 33:20
  Which is just what I said and what
• 33:22
  Moscow keeps saying to that you can't do
• 33:24
  that The only people who could fire him
• 33:26
  or the u.s. They know their missiles
• 33:28
  They were involved in the INF treaty, too
• 33:31
  and So they know how these things get
• 33:34
  fired and they sure as hell you don't
• 33:36
  just hand a piece of paper and a
• 33:38
  missile on a on a Pontoon boat with
• 33:41
  a piece of paper saying here's how it's
• 33:43
  gonna get here's how it's gonna be targeted
• 33:45
  It doesn't work that way So Moscow has
• 33:49
  said that if any strike by by a
• 33:52
  tomahawk is a strike Against us by the
• 33:57
  United States the end Okay, so containerized deception
• 34:02
  and a barge idea I found this funny
• 34:06
  as hell because this is JR's idea for
• 34:10
  a Pontoon boat, but it's not a pontoon
• 34:14
  boat And it's a really freaking big one,
• 34:16
  but what he said was he said that
• 34:19
  you could put a 40-foot missile in
• 34:21
  a box container up container concept that could
• 34:27
  be mounted on a barge and Fired from
• 34:30
  the river with other containers as decoys so
• 34:34
  they you know, well, you know They don't
• 34:36
  just come out with this 40-foot 40
• 34:40
  -foot Missile box and have that immediately blown
• 34:44
  up by Russian airstrikes But the but it
• 34:47
  would still have to have u.s. Planning
• 34:49
  and it would still be Escalatory if they
• 34:52
  did this and they'd need a number of
• 34:54
  decoys Then he talked about the number and
• 34:57
  effectiveness just what I said He said he
• 35:00
  doesn't know how many the u.s. Could
• 35:01
  spare.
• 35:02
  He said they're hard to make they take
• 35:04
  a lot of time and If around 50
• 35:07
  were launched Russian integrated air defenses would likely
• 35:11
  shoot most of them down, but probably not
• 35:14
  all and The estimates are they couldn't get
• 35:18
  more than 20 to 50 anyway Likely targets
• 35:21
  if they did use them would be fixed
• 35:23
  infrastructure power grids airfields refineries Not moving targets,
• 35:28
  but he still doubts any real Strategic effect
• 35:32
  because there hasn't been any so far with
• 35:34
  any of the other Systems that they've had
• 35:39
  he would spend a lot of time on
• 35:42
  calling it a preemption risk any practical launch
• 35:46
  setup has to enter crane Ukraine and Get
• 35:50
  closer to the targets which are under persistent
• 35:54
  Russian surveillance So if they showed up in
• 35:58
  Western Ukraine To get to Eastern Ukraine.
• 36:02
  They sure as hell can't come to Odessa
• 36:03
  and if they come through Poland They'd be
• 36:06
  in Western Ukraine, and they'd be destroyed long
• 36:10
  before they hit a place where they would
• 36:13
  have a sufficient Range to do significant damage,
• 36:18
  so he's saying you know they would they
• 36:21
  would be found before they got close Which
• 36:23
  is a good point that I didn't mention
• 36:25
  yesterday Nuclear escalation risk medvedev Out of
• 36:35
  Russia former president said that his warning was
• 36:41
  Russia can't tell in flight if a tomahawk
• 36:44
  is nuclear or Conventional so the Russian doctrine
• 36:48
  would reserve the right to escalate I Didn't
• 36:52
  think of this either, and I didn't hear
• 36:55
  medvedev say this But this is what Colonel
• 36:59
  McGregor said he said that medvedev gave a
• 37:02
  warning said you know a tomahawk is a
• 37:04
  nuclear missile and can carry nuclear payload and
• 37:09
  Now there's an I doubt that the US
• 37:12
  would ever give Ukraine any sort of nuclear
• 37:15
  payload But who knows we'll find that out
• 37:18
  on Friday or maybe tomorrow there was no
• 37:20
  news on it today, and we were supposed
• 37:22
  to get some kind of News on that
• 37:26
  today, which never occurred But anyway medvedev said
• 37:31
  that that would be an escalation and could
• 37:33
  cause a nuclear response I think that's just
• 37:36
  fear-mongering, but anyway the bottom line is
• 37:39
  that tomahawks aren't gonna change the war No
• 37:43
  way no, how and I Don't know It's
• 37:50
  not there.
• 37:50
  They're there.
• 37:51
  No magic bullet.
• 37:52
  You know and fingerprints us everywhere u.s.
• 37:57
  Planning u.s. Planners u.s. communications u
• 38:01
  .s. Mission data Moscow would read that as
• 38:04
  Washington firing at Russia not Ukraine, and I
• 38:09
  think it's a mistake to do so if
• 38:12
  if the old trumpster give it gives it
• 38:14
  but I've Claimed he's made you know quite
• 38:18
  a few mistakes on some of this stuff,
• 38:20
  and maybe maybe it is just posturing who
• 38:22
  the hell knows He also talked about some
• 38:26
  non tomahawk topics He talked about Trump was
• 38:30
  moving from end the war to bullying and
• 38:35
  that he's becoming More hawkish as he goes
• 38:38
  and he's he's listening to these hawkish advisors
• 38:41
  once again And you know I always say
• 38:45
  that he you know he keeps he swings
• 38:47
  like a pendulum.
• 38:48
  He turns around Changes and he listens to
• 38:51
  the last person that he talked to and
• 38:54
  so when he talks to Putin He's gonna
• 38:56
  come out and say pro Putin stuff when
• 38:58
  he talks to Zelensky this Friday he'll come
• 39:01
  out and he'll say pro Zelensky stuff and
• 39:03
  You know change his mind about whatever it
• 39:06
  does and You know drives me crazy when
• 39:10
  they talk about that This escalation you know
• 39:14
  I'm not all for it If they escalate
• 39:21
  and give these tomahawks well What's to stop
• 39:25
  the u.s.? From making attacks on I
• 39:28
  don't know Lithuania Romania Air bases NATO places
• 39:33
  like that where they store and What do
• 39:38
  they call that when you?
• 39:40
  stage and staging these weapons for delivery to
• 39:43
  Ukraine I Mean arguably would that be a
• 39:47
  target.
• 39:48
  Do you think could be we don't need
• 39:51
  that escalation I say Putin talked about nuclear
• 39:56
  testing recently and They talked about Their nuclear
• 40:03
  testing You know we should both get back
• 40:07
  Into it instead of getting off of it
• 40:10
  and what he said was if other people
• 40:11
  are gonna do underground nuclear testing I guess
• 40:14
  we are too You know we have stay
• 40:16
  current on what's going on because everybody's talking
• 40:19
  about it again He blasted von der Leyen
• 40:22
  and call us for Repeating the London and
• 40:28
  CIA talking points He the Middle East peace
• 40:33
  optics he says Trump's You know Unchanged Israeli
• 40:40
  ghost that was kind of cool today to
• 40:42
  watch all the stuff was it yesterday whatever
• 40:44
  day It was where they were talking all
• 40:46
  the stuff that went on in the Middle
• 40:49
  East and all the Magically all the European
• 40:53
  leaders showed up.
• 40:54
  It's like he he told him get here
• 40:56
  So I'm gonna show up Keir Starmer shows
• 41:00
  up that guy's you know Trump tells him
• 41:03
  to jump because they yes, so yes, so
• 41:04
  how I Thought it was pretty comical one
• 41:08
  thing that I really got a little bothered
• 41:10
  at today, and he talked about this to
• 41:12
  did our Colonel McGregor talked about Venezuela and
• 41:19
  regime change and You know there's gonna be
• 41:23
  a pretty he talked about and I said
• 41:25
  this too but not as maybe not as
• 41:28
  clear that there's gonna be a Latin American
• 41:31
  backlash and further risk if Washington digs in
• 41:36
  in Venezuela and urges deals on oil and
• 41:41
  gas instead of invasion and then finally he
• 41:46
  talked about these China and rare earths and
• 41:51
  Tariffs and said that you know China's not
• 41:54
  gonna change their tactics.
• 41:56
  That's just not gonna happen I tend to
• 41:59
  agree with him on that.
• 42:00
  I don't see China changing at all I
• 42:03
  really don't see India chain at all changing
• 42:05
  at all regardless what the old Trumpster said
• 42:08
  today.
• 42:09
  I just I don't think that's the case
• 42:14
  Let's see where do I want to go
• 42:16
  do I want to go to Andre Bezrukov
• 42:20
  and his speech Maria Zakharova and her speech
• 42:23
  Or do I want to go well her
• 42:26
  press conference?
• 42:27
  I was three hours long But it was
• 42:31
  pretty good.
• 42:31
  You know there was there was plenty to
• 42:34
  go on and then what did we have
• 42:36
  here?
• 42:38
  Who are these folks?
• 42:41
  I wanted to talk about these Where did
• 42:48
  I start today, I'm you know what I'm
• 42:50
  gonna go to the Trump thing where where
• 42:53
  go I got a revert to the story
• 42:58
  of bricks in the collapse of bricks because
• 43:01
  Trump said so I Did a pretty detailed
• 43:07
  search and I found Not one country That
• 43:11
  has publicly said they're dropping out of bricks
• 43:14
  today or any other time and there's been
• 43:18
  no official Indian Modi or the Ministry of
• 43:23
  External Affairs Confirmation that India is going to
• 43:26
  stop buying Russian oil what we have is
• 43:29
  Trump's claims repeated across Western outlets and The
• 43:34
  Kremlin and and he was talking about people
• 43:36
  against the dollar Was our Trumpster and the
• 43:40
  Kremlin came back and said look bricks isn't
• 43:43
  against the dollar we're not anti dollar It's
• 43:45
  like it's like Modi has said it's like
• 43:49
  Jaishankar has said we're not anti-west we're
• 43:55
  Without the West we're we're You know outside
• 44:00
  of the West we're not We're not anti
• 44:03
  them they're just not involved in in this
• 44:07
  regional group They're not involved in bricks.
• 44:10
  You know nothing like that so It's a
• 44:14
  it's a distinction, and it might be narrow,
• 44:17
  but it's still a distinction But Trump claiming
• 44:20
  that that and he told lots of reporters
• 44:23
  this he was pretty blatant about it I
• 44:25
  I played that for you, but there's no
• 44:29
  Indian government Confirmation as of this moment Well
• 44:35
  right before the show there was no statement
• 44:37
  from Modi the PMO the MEA confirming Trump's
• 44:41
  version AP noted that the Indian Embassy had
• 44:47
  not yet commented Kremlin and Kremlin says Moscow
• 44:52
  rejects Trump's broader bricks narrative so Peskov comes
• 44:57
  out and he says and he's a like
• 45:02
  oh I don't know a press secretary it
• 45:07
  for the Kremlin and he came out and
• 45:09
  said bricks isn't about Undermining the dollar it's
• 45:13
  about providing alternatives, and they've been highlighting India's
• 45:18
  ongoing purchases that have even risen in October
• 45:22
  and then they talked about settlements and that
• 45:26
  not being anti dollar But that they're being
• 45:29
  paid in you want and in Indian rupees
• 45:33
  And it cuts against the idea that India
• 45:36
  is bailing out This dropping out of bricks
• 45:40
  again.
• 45:40
  There's nothing there India joined Brazil has publicly
• 45:45
  reaffirmed its commitment to bricks the only person
• 45:48
  that he's even been invited and is not
• 45:51
  fully in is Saudi Arabia, but there's still
• 45:55
  a An offeree a partner, but they haven't
• 46:00
  said no they haven't said yes either But
• 46:03
  everybody else that's been invited is either fully
• 46:05
  in or fully out.
• 46:07
  You know and the only one that's in
• 46:09
  the middle hell bricks denied Pakistan entry because
• 46:15
  they're still in a conflict with India That's
• 46:18
  the only one I'm aware of at all
• 46:21
  that was a couple a couple of years
• 46:23
  ago For context as recently as August Indian
• 46:27
  officials signaled zero change in policy under u
• 46:31
  .s. Tariff pressure Ministry of External Affairs said
• 46:35
  steady and time-tested Russian partnership New Delhi
• 46:40
  hasn't said anything that I'm aware of so
• 46:44
  the collapse of bricks I doubt it's imminent
• 46:47
  I doubt that it's gone and The Kremlin
• 46:53
  says Trump's framing is incorrect and bricks is
• 46:57
  cooperation focus and RT's India desk the Russia
• 47:03
  Today newspaper their desk reports like I said
• 47:07
  higher October imports from India and alternative payments
• 47:12
  without the dollar no halt continuity and until
• 47:16
  Modi or the MIA M E a say
• 47:20
  something different Russia says the status quo is
• 47:24
  still going So they they listened they heard
• 47:28
  what Trump said, but so far we got
• 47:31
  nothing We got the old zipster.
• 47:35
  Okay, so I watch some of the front
• 47:39
  line I wanted to do a quick look
• 47:44
  at the front line In light of what
• 47:48
  Trump is saying that Russia's you know losing
• 47:50
  all kinds of people and people are dying
• 47:53
  in light of his comment that Russia hasn't
• 47:59
  They didn't win they everybody expected him to
• 48:02
  win in a few weeks, that's old news
• 48:05
  by the way and That said that they
• 48:09
  they aren't fighting it that way and They're
• 48:13
  they're not trying to win it all that
• 48:15
  way And I'm not so sure that they've
• 48:19
  lost a million and a half men I
• 48:21
  know that Ukraine has lost at least a
• 48:23
  million and a half men by any Reasonable
• 48:27
  estimate, but I don't know where he's getting
• 48:30
  these numbers on the Russian side and any
• 48:34
  valid sort of Or Reputable, let's say War
• 48:45
  analyst is saying the opposite that Ukraine has
• 48:51
  losing at least three to one to Russia
• 48:56
  and men dying and Maybe as high as
• 49:01
  Six to one one estimate.
• 49:04
  I saw said that it was nine or
• 49:06
  ten to one Now I still believe there's
• 49:10
  a lot of young men getting killed that
• 49:12
  are Russian Nobody knows those numbers because Russia
• 49:16
  doesn't publicize them But there's far more Ukrainian
• 49:21
  loss of life than there is Russian and
• 49:27
  I think that is Something to To talk
• 49:35
  about but anyway when I was watching one
• 49:37
  of the ones that I watched quite a
• 49:39
  bit at least to get my updates on
• 49:44
  the front lines because they have mapping and
• 49:47
  It's called the military summary channel.
• 49:49
  I like listening to him.
• 49:51
  I'm not gonna play any of it well,
• 49:55
  maybe I'll play the first few minutes because
• 49:57
  but because he talked a little bit about
• 50:00
  the The Tomahawks to I wonder if that
• 50:04
  would be worthwhile Do you know what I
• 50:07
  think I will play a small part of
• 50:10
  that for you Because I I like listening
• 50:15
  to him anyway Not as much as the
• 50:19
  Pelosi monster when she's on a roll But
• 50:22
  let's see because he had and I won't
• 50:25
  go I won't go all the way through.
• 50:27
  It's a it's a long like 18 minute
• 50:32
  clip for them and for him and I
• 50:36
  don't want to Go that far.
• 50:38
  Let's see if I can Get to where
• 50:41
  he is Okay, let us let us listen
• 50:49
  to a few minutes of what he has
• 50:51
  to say ready The day we've been waiting
• 50:55
  whether the United States of America will announce
• 50:58
  additional help to Ukraine and will the United
• 51:01
  States of America Provide Ukrainians with Tomahawk missiles,
• 51:04
  but nothing like this happened today We got
• 51:07
  report that Pentagon chief Hexhead arrived in Brussels
• 51:10
  where a meeting of NATO defense Ministers and
• 51:14
  the Ukraine arms contact group Rammstein will take
• 51:16
  place and upon arrival He called on NATO
• 51:19
  countries to allocate more funds for the purchase
• 51:23
  of American weapons for Ukraine and that's it
• 51:25
  So nobody announced that Ukraine will get some
• 51:28
  of our missiles Maybe this is going to
• 51:30
  happen tomorrow or the day after maybe today
• 51:33
  the minister Hexhead was talking with European countries
• 51:36
  and leaders with the purpose to understand whether
• 51:38
  they're planning to allocate additional funds or not
• 51:41
  So today we most likely we will not
• 51:43
  understand anything Most likely after this meeting Hexhead
• 51:46
  will turn back to Washington and then the
• 51:49
  president of the United States of America Will
• 51:52
  make a final decision But at the same
• 51:54
  time we see that Ukraine continues suffering huge
• 51:57
  problems with electricity By the end of the
• 52:00
  15th of October 2025, we got report that
• 52:03
  almost the entire Ukraine has no electricity Did
• 52:07
  this part is interesting not just about the
• 52:10
  electricity about what their plans are for winter?
• 52:14
  I forgot all about this but pay attention
• 52:17
  to this just several regions So Ukraine still
• 52:20
  have some power and that's it.
• 52:22
  And obviously this is the beginning of disaster
• 52:24
  We see that the Russians stopped attacking the
• 52:27
  territory Ukraine most likely they also see the
• 52:29
  picture across Ukraine and the picture is very
• 52:32
  bad furthermore today We got reports that Ukrainians
• 52:35
  began preparing of buses and trucks for evacuation
• 52:38
  purposes The Ukrainians are evacuating not just sounds
• 52:42
  and settlements along the line of combat contact
• 52:44
  where the Russians are advancing The Ukrainians began
• 52:47
  thinking how to evacuate the entire population of
• 52:50
  Ukraine from the territory Ukraine in the direction
• 52:53
  of Western countries And we're talking not about
• 52:56
  several thousands of people.
• 52:57
  We're talking about millions of Ukrainians So this
• 53:00
  is the reality on the ground Zelensky needs
• 53:03
  these Tomahawk missiles to begin attacking deep inside
• 53:05
  of the territory of the Russian Federation But
• 53:08
  it seems that he he is the only
• 53:10
  person who understand this need Most likely nobody
• 53:13
  else understands what exactly deep credence key is
• 53:16
  planning to achieve with this Now let's discuss
• 53:20
  this yeah now he's gonna talk about situation
• 53:22
  on the front but I forgot that part
• 53:25
  and because He is not the only person
• 53:29
  that said something like this Zelensky needs a
• 53:33
  game-changer.
• 53:35
  I argue Douglas McGregor colonel argues that the
• 53:42
  Tomahawk is not a game-changer The f
• 53:46
  -16 was not a game-changer.
• 53:49
  They're all gone Patriot missile not a game
• 53:52
  -changer The attack comes missiles not a game
• 53:56
  -changers any of the other missiles from East
• 54:00
  from the Western European countries no game-changers
• 54:03
  anywhere Russia is still advancing along the front
• 54:08
  lines and there is nothing different now Russia
• 54:13
  over the last month has Completely destroyed the
• 54:18
  entire energy infrastructure There's no gas for the
• 54:24
  winter.
• 54:25
  I told you that they shortened it again
• 54:28
  yet another month that they shortened the the
• 54:33
  gas or the heat season when you will
• 54:36
  get heat which is dictated by the government
• 54:40
  You know heat won't be turned on just
• 54:44
  because it's cold It's turned on because the
• 54:47
  government says it's cold how much you want
• 54:49
  to bet.
• 54:49
  It's nice and warm in in The president's
• 54:53
  living quarters or any of those places, but
• 54:57
  the normal people are gonna freeze their testicles
• 55:00
  off it's not gonna be good and And
• 55:04
  this is the second or third person that
• 55:07
  I have heard talk about a massive form
• 55:11
  of evacuation about what is going on because
• 55:15
  Winter is coming and these guys have nothing
• 55:19
  and they they the Situation is quite bad
• 55:27
  and along the front lines people are just
• 55:32
  Dying.
• 55:33
  I mean, that's all there is to it
• 55:36
  there were some discussions about where these About
• 55:42
  the surrenders that are going they're saying that
• 55:45
  there are people on the front lines Ukrainian
• 55:47
  that the only way they had water and
• 55:51
  food delivered Were by drones, but that the
• 55:55
  Russians are controlling the airspace and knocking out
• 55:59
  all the drones So the deliveries of food
• 56:02
  and water because they can't have You know
• 56:06
  when I was in the military and we
• 56:08
  were out in the field and you were
• 56:10
  playing war games or whatever I was not
• 56:12
  in I was in during wartime, but I
• 56:15
  was a Russian interpreter.
• 56:16
  I didn't end up going to Iraq or
• 56:18
  anything like that, you know what I mean?
• 56:21
  And So I didn't see this in wartime,
• 56:25
  but I know how it worked.
• 56:27
  They You Know you would have You're like
• 56:32
  if you had a platoon and you have
• 56:34
  four squads in a platoon Each squad is
• 56:37
  it has its duties in a different location
• 56:40
  the platoon sergeant two three times a day
• 56:43
  You would have one meal a day.
• 56:44
  That was an MRE maybe two and in
• 56:47
  the winter or the cold or hot, you
• 56:49
  know They would dictate whether you got a
• 56:52
  hot meal in the morning You had to
• 56:53
  have one hot meal a day Or whatever
• 56:56
  if you had and so you you would
• 56:58
  have your platoon sergeant would pick them up
• 57:00
  and deliver you these hot meals one time
• 57:03
  per day and then you would have have
• 57:05
  two MREs or vice versa or Sometimes they
• 57:09
  would have to cancel the hot meal because
• 57:11
  you know, whatever there was no way to
• 57:13
  get you there or whatever And you all
• 57:15
  these things came in these little cards that
• 57:17
  they opened up that were random and they
• 57:19
  said here's your wartime Scenario and they would
• 57:22
  follow the wartime scenario.
• 57:23
  That was a random sort of scenario, right?
• 57:26
  Well, what they're saying is is that in
• 57:29
  Ukraine there aren't any hot meals their hell
• 57:32
  and then now there aren't even any meals
• 57:34
  because the only way they can deliver them
• 57:36
  is by is by Drone and the Russians
• 57:41
  are knocking out all the drones.
• 57:43
  And so these are bad times over there
• 57:47
  and The Same is true Because the Russians
• 57:52
  are knocking out bridges a lot of bridges
• 57:55
  on the western parts of Ukraine that supply
• 57:58
  the front lines are being destroyed and all
• 58:02
  the railroads are being destroyed and therefore none
• 58:06
  of the None of the resupply is getting
• 58:10
  to the front lines So this is very
• 58:11
  terrible for the people that are on the
• 58:14
  front lines but it's equally as terrible for
• 58:17
  anybody left in any city near the front
• 58:21
  and most of them are Evacuating because they're
• 58:23
  all getting bombed anyway and they're trying to
• 58:26
  get everybody that is east of the Dnieper
• 58:29
  River to the west part of Ukraine that
• 58:32
  wants to go and So they're saying they
• 58:36
  got all these buses that are going back
• 58:38
  and forth and carting them back You know
• 58:40
  trying to get them out and evacuate them
• 58:41
  and they're allowing people to leave the country
• 58:44
  as well.
• 58:45
  So it's It's a hell of a scenario
• 58:50
  that they're going through and on these These
• 58:56
  massive power outage and mass civilian evacuation westward
• 59:02
  is With him and just a couple other
• 59:06
  sources But no mass media is talking about
• 59:09
  it and you won't get that from any
• 59:11
  Ukrainian newspaper you just won't so wherever he's
• 59:16
  getting this information He's usually pretty Solid as
• 59:21
  far as the front lines go.
• 59:22
  He's talking about Kherson Dnieper Delta and Kherson
• 59:29
  City, there are conflicting reports that Russian infantry
• 59:32
  tried to land on Karabakh some maps show
• 59:36
  the south part as Russian held meaning they
• 59:39
  crossed another river and So there you know
• 59:42
  if they can and then they were driven
• 59:44
  back and if they can get back across
• 59:46
  that side of the river This is really
• 59:48
  bad for Ukraine heavy crashes Clashes around Poltavka
• 59:52
  and Who's been if cub and Poltavka could
• 59:56
  we will probably fall within the week is
• 59:59
  what he is saying Tass is highlighting Russian
• 1:00:02
  gains on the Eastern battle group, which is
• 1:00:05
  Nova Veselovskaya and Yonchua River and so they're
• 1:00:10
  they're marching but the Russians are along this
• 1:00:14
  and on the Volga River Alexeyevka is There's
• 1:00:20
  they're they're taking more and more places and
• 1:00:24
  the Ukrainians are you know backtracking pretty seriously
• 1:00:29
  and so since October 9 or 10 this
• 1:00:34
  show has tracked a Russian push on the
• 1:00:37
  southern Myrnogrodd arc and the Kazachskaya Moskovskaya Balagan
• 1:00:44
  Novopavlovka all of these cities near Myrnogrodd Which
• 1:00:48
  are both all southeast east northeast to cut
• 1:00:50
  the southern half of the city and they're
• 1:00:52
  all being squeezed out of yet another city
• 1:00:55
  and Pokrovsk is you know We've been fighting
• 1:00:58
  over that one for a while and the
• 1:01:00
  Russians are already like 60% Into Pokrovsk
• 1:01:03
  and Pokrovsk was a pretty good-sized city
• 1:01:07
  in Kharkiv same thing Sumy You know is
• 1:01:11
  holding firm and you know per this episode
• 1:01:15
  What he is saying is that momentum is
• 1:01:19
  still with the Russians All the bridges are
• 1:01:23
  destroyed power grids are gone Let's see.
• 1:01:27
  I covered all this stuff already and they
• 1:01:30
  are just you know, the frontline winds of
• 1:01:34
  the Russians are just a bunch of them
• 1:01:36
  and And I don't know If they don't
• 1:01:42
  find a game changer It's gonna be a
• 1:01:47
  long winter but what they're saying is is
• 1:01:50
  they're gonna This is gonna keep on going
• 1:01:52
  for several years I know we're trying to
• 1:01:56
  fund it for years, which I think is
• 1:01:59
  nonsense, but I'm not sure where to go
• 1:02:04
  with this With the war, it's freaking war,
• 1:02:09
  you know, who knows who's telling the who's
• 1:02:12
  telling the truth on there I did want
• 1:02:15
  to go into Everybody knows well, maybe everybody
• 1:02:19
  doesn't know but I like to listen to
• 1:02:21
  several people that That have pretty good Programs
• 1:02:27
  and I was on the program with Alex
• 1:02:32
  and Alex Um, alex christoforou And I forget
• 1:02:36
  the other alex the guy from the guy
• 1:02:39
  from england and the other guy that's greek
• 1:02:40
  I think And he travels around a lot
• 1:02:44
  and alex christoforou.
• 1:02:45
  I listen to more than I do the
• 1:02:48
  other alex But both of them have pretty
• 1:02:49
  good shows And you can listen to him
• 1:02:52
  on a show called the duran if you're
• 1:02:54
  interested and um And and alex christoforou has
• 1:02:58
  his own show.
• 1:02:59
  I don't listen to the duran much anymore
• 1:03:02
  um At least not the joint ones.
• 1:03:05
  I listen to alex christoforou and he Always
• 1:03:09
  has a pretty good Take on the news
• 1:03:12
  and today he uh Gave some some pretty
• 1:03:18
  good news And he's always I like to
• 1:03:21
  listen to him because he's freaking funny And
• 1:03:24
  uh, I I would replay a little a
• 1:03:27
  few parts of his show But he jumps
• 1:03:30
  around so much that uh, it's hard to
• 1:03:33
  um To track them all you know what
• 1:03:36
  I mean where i'd have to sit down
• 1:03:38
  and say oh geez at minute number Eight,
• 1:03:42
  you know, here's where this is And I
• 1:03:44
  really don't have time for that.
• 1:03:45
  So I don't really do it.
• 1:03:47
  So I kind of uh, take notes on
• 1:03:49
  what I liked on it and then uh,
• 1:03:52
  uh, make sure to get to a couple
• 1:03:54
  of those points and he he um Get
• 1:03:58
  some of the uh He he was making
• 1:04:01
  fun in the start of his show maybe
• 1:04:04
  I should play the mark ruda place because
• 1:04:08
  That was pretty funny ruda saying that um
• 1:04:12
  Uh, in fact, I you know what?
• 1:04:14
  I think I will maybe i'll play a
• 1:04:16
  little bit Of his first part of his
• 1:04:18
  show because it was damn comical Um what
• 1:04:22
  he was telling us And it was about
• 1:04:25
  mark ruda and mark ruda is no genius.
• 1:04:27
  Let's uh Let's put it that way this
• 1:04:30
  guy I I you wonder where they're getting
• 1:04:33
  their info from you know um in order
• 1:04:37
  to talk about and he's basically Let's see
• 1:04:40
  at the very beginning.
• 1:04:42
  Yep.
• 1:04:42
  It's ruta at the very beginning that he
• 1:04:44
  is talking about so Let's see what he
• 1:04:48
  says um Hang on one second because he's
• 1:04:54
  mocking russia, right?
• 1:04:56
  And uh, and it's more it's more bs.
• 1:04:59
  This is like that idiot kellogg over here
• 1:05:01
  Talking about you know, russia.
• 1:05:04
  It's trump calling it a paper tiger and
• 1:05:06
  they well if it's a paper tiger Why
• 1:05:08
  do we so that say the same thing
• 1:05:10
  that you're saying about?
• 1:05:13
  oh gee um How come if they're a
• 1:05:16
  paper tiger?
• 1:05:17
  How come ukraine can't take them out?
• 1:05:19
  If ukraine's so powerful with all these western
• 1:05:22
  weapons and we've put Basically 300 billion between
• 1:05:27
  the allies and us In ukraine 300 billion
• 1:05:30
  and you still can't beat them.
• 1:05:33
  I mean we could say the same thing
• 1:05:35
  You know, that's what we're going doing.
• 1:05:37
  And so ruda made some idiotic comments in
• 1:05:40
  there You should hear them.
• 1:05:41
  This guy's a genius ready Russia's military is
• 1:05:45
  stretched there and elsewhere Its mediterranean task force
• 1:05:50
  was once a mix of surface ships submarines
• 1:05:54
  and support vessels Now in effect, there is
• 1:05:58
  hardly any russian naval presence in the mediterranean
• 1:06:02
  left There is a lone and broken russian
• 1:06:06
  submarine limping home from patrol What a change
• 1:06:10
  from the 1984 tom clancy novel the hunt
• 1:06:14
  for red october Today it seems more like
• 1:06:18
  the hunt for the nearest mechanic is that
• 1:06:21
  they are saying if a plane Would pose
• 1:06:24
  a threat we have the authorities to do
• 1:06:26
  if necessary the ultimate But if the plane
• 1:06:29
  is not posing a threat, we are not
• 1:06:31
  going to shoot it down And then we
• 1:06:33
  will gently guide it outside the airspace This
• 1:06:35
  is exactly what they should do and I
• 1:06:36
  totally agree with that approach because we are
• 1:06:39
  so strong It's proportional response exactly and and
• 1:06:43
  we are so much stronger than the russians
• 1:06:45
  We don't have to take down russian airplanes
• 1:06:47
  because they enter our airspace We do it
• 1:06:49
  if they enter our airspace and also pose
• 1:06:51
  a threat if we were weak You might
• 1:06:54
  maybe think okay.
• 1:06:55
  We are weak.
• 1:06:55
  So we have to immediately show them That
• 1:06:58
  whenever they enter our airspace we shoot them
• 1:07:00
  down But if they don't pose a threat
• 1:07:03
  being so much stronger than the russians I
• 1:07:05
  think it is much stronger that our reaction
• 1:07:07
  is as it is Proportionate and of course
• 1:07:10
  making clear to the to the to the
• 1:07:12
  russians that we are not too happy about
• 1:07:15
  these incursions this So i'm i'm gonna let
• 1:07:18
  you listen to alex because he gives some
• 1:07:20
  pretty funny commentary on that But did you
• 1:07:22
  hear that this guy's saying we are so
• 1:07:25
  much more powerful than russia.
• 1:07:27
  Oh, really?
• 1:07:28
  If that's the case Then Why are you
• 1:07:31
  giving all your crap to ukraine and nothing
• 1:07:33
  is happening with your powerful weapons that are
• 1:07:37
  there?
• 1:07:38
  Russia is defeating all of nato Including you
• 1:07:41
  mark ruta the nato chief, right?
• 1:07:44
  If you got all these powerful nato weapons
• 1:07:48
  How come ukraine doesn't have them?
• 1:07:49
  You've been passing them out to them forever
• 1:07:53
  And the the patriot isn't defending anything.
• 1:07:56
  There's very few left over there I'd like
• 1:08:00
  to know what exactly You mean by that?
• 1:08:03
  Mr. Ruta now, we'll listen to alex because
• 1:08:06
  he he was pretty funny on this topic
• 1:08:08
  is my video update on this wednesday afternoon
• 1:08:14
  october the 15th coming to you from nicosia
• 1:08:21
  cyprus Let's talk about some news And let's
• 1:08:28
  start things off with nato ceo mark ruta
• 1:08:32
  Who was at a nato event discussing?
• 1:08:37
  How to make it easier for uh for
• 1:08:41
  nato to shoot down russian fighter jets over
• 1:08:44
  nato airspace and mark ruta he said that
• 1:08:51
  That if a russian fighter jet is over
• 1:08:54
  Nato airspace and it does not pose a
• 1:08:58
  military threat to to nato then what nato
• 1:09:00
  should do is that they should escort that
• 1:09:04
  fighter jet Out of nato airspace.
• 1:09:08
  They should not shoot that fighter jet down
• 1:09:10
  if it does not pose an Immediate direct
• 1:09:14
  military threat to nato and the reasoning according
• 1:09:17
  to mark ruta for this is that That
• 1:09:22
  nato is much more powerful Than russia nato's
• 1:09:27
  military is much Much more powerful than the
• 1:09:32
  russian military.
• 1:09:33
  It is infinitely more powerful than the russian
• 1:09:38
  military and shooting down a russian fighter jet
• 1:09:43
  that does not pose a military threat to
• 1:09:45
  nato would be A sign of weakness and
• 1:09:49
  nato should not display weakness towards a russian
• 1:09:55
  military that is So much more weaker than
• 1:10:01
  nato because according to ruta nato is much
• 1:10:04
  much much more powerful Than the russian military.
• 1:10:09
  So if there is a fighter jet over
• 1:10:11
  nato airspace And it is not a threat
• 1:10:14
  to nato then escort it out of nato
• 1:10:16
  airspace And nato should not show any any
• 1:10:20
  weakness because it is the much stronger military
• 1:10:23
  much much stronger than the russian military ruta
• 1:10:28
  made it a point to say that nato
• 1:10:30
  is much much stronger than the russian military
• 1:10:37
  nonsense Yeah, that's crazy stuff.
• 1:10:43
  Um But I like listen to alex, that's
• 1:10:46
  uh, that's funny stuff and he has a
• 1:10:48
  good he has a good program alex christoforo
• 1:10:51
  He's also got like 245 000 subscribers So
• 1:10:55
  that's pretty cool.
• 1:10:56
  Um good for him.
• 1:10:58
  I like that.
• 1:10:59
  Um I what else did he talk about
• 1:11:02
  on his show?
• 1:11:03
  The the he did talk about the russian
• 1:11:06
  navy being down to one lone Submarine it's
• 1:11:11
  it's mockery which they're doing, you know on
• 1:11:15
  purpose.
• 1:11:16
  Um If you remember from and in he
• 1:11:20
  he did it in his show just like
• 1:11:22
  uh, the the prior guy that was talking
• 1:11:25
  about The tom hawks that nobody's talking about
• 1:11:29
  yet uh, we shall see and um The
• 1:11:34
  kiev team, um is in Washington already waiting
• 1:11:40
  for the z-man to show up and
• 1:11:42
  talk to uh, trumpster on friday and uh
• 1:11:47
  right now That's sphere sphere dinka and yermak
• 1:11:52
  and the u.s. Treasury.
• 1:11:54
  Um, that guy's a genius, too Uh besant,
• 1:11:58
  he says the kiev's team met the u
• 1:12:00
  .s. Leadership Uh scott besant discussing money and
• 1:12:05
  pressure on russia and how to get more
• 1:12:07
  money This is not good.
• 1:12:09
  They're gonna finance the next escalation and we're
• 1:12:13
  gonna end up paying for it You know
• 1:12:14
  that that is What's becoming clear and I
• 1:12:18
  think we're gonna be on the hook and
• 1:12:21
  so this war Is gonna end up being
• 1:12:25
  trump's war not biden's it'll be trump's war
• 1:12:29
  But he still likes to keep saying that
• 1:12:31
  war never would have happened if I was
• 1:12:33
  If I hadn't lost, you know if I
• 1:12:35
  was still in office or if I hadn't
• 1:12:37
  had the election stolen from me however, you
• 1:12:40
  want to put it but uh, uh now
• 1:12:43
  Now it's going to be if he escalates
• 1:12:46
  And i've said this about a couple of
• 1:12:48
  things and I actually believe if it's not
• 1:12:50
  already his escalation will definitely make it his
• 1:12:54
  but that's what rubios of the world and
• 1:12:59
  Whoever I talked about in a long time
• 1:13:01
  Lindsey graham.
• 1:13:03
  Lindsey graham wants it to be our war
• 1:13:05
  for sure.
• 1:13:06
  You know you want it um And so
• 1:13:10
  the the ukrainian delegation is already in got
• 1:13:13
  their hands out Zelensky will come here have
• 1:13:16
  his hand even further out and want to
• 1:13:19
  know where those uh, Where the tomahawks come
• 1:13:23
  on, give me some tomahawks Give me a
• 1:13:26
  few give me some tomahawks and a bunch
• 1:13:29
  of pontoon boats and we're gonna we're gonna
• 1:13:32
  take these to the creek down down past
• 1:13:34
  the farm and we're gonna we're gonna drop
• 1:13:38
  them in the creek and they'll they'll uh
• 1:13:41
  Take out them bad russians.
• 1:13:43
  It'll just take them out, right?
• 1:13:46
  I don't know.
• 1:13:48
  We also got the bailout of argentina going
• 1:13:52
  on to about 20 billion and uh Trump
• 1:14:00
  is gonna, you know generosity depends on the
• 1:14:03
  election outcome, which is pretty funny and uh,
• 1:14:07
  he he so whether or not trump gives
• 1:14:11
  money to argentina of the 20 billion Depends
• 1:14:15
  on how the election turns out.
• 1:14:17
  Sorry yawning.
• 1:14:19
  It's getting a little bit late for me.
• 1:14:20
  I'm i'm i'm Um either old or tired.
• 1:14:25
  I suppose I could be both but uh
• 1:14:28
  There you go Uh trump saying that putin
• 1:14:31
  should have won in a week He claims
• 1:14:34
  1.5 million russian casualties and still is
• 1:14:38
  claiming gas lines in russia trump is and
• 1:14:42
  and uh I don't Remember seeing any gas
• 1:14:47
  lines in russia and I got around some
• 1:14:50
  in there There aren't lines to get gas.
• 1:14:53
  They have plenty of gas And I don't
• 1:14:56
  understand Why this claim is still out there
• 1:15:02
  um But I think that that trump is
• 1:15:07
  back to russia bashing um, and and I
• 1:15:10
  think that's uh Uh unfortunate And let's see.
• 1:15:17
  What else did he talk?
• 1:15:19
  Oh, he said something about um a power
• 1:15:23
  move By zelensky in odessa by getting rid
• 1:15:27
  of the mayor who's a guy named trukhanov
• 1:15:30
  and uh, he said he had a russian
• 1:15:34
  passport And he was he installed instead some
• 1:15:39
  kind of a military administration and um but
• 1:15:44
  then he said That uh, it's a just
• 1:15:47
  a power grab to lock down the port
• 1:15:50
  And wants to uh preempt any pro-russia
• 1:15:54
  mood if the front um the war front
• 1:15:59
  Hits to odessa But I think it's already
• 1:16:01
  going there, you know, odessa has always been
• 1:16:04
  a russian city And I and and you
• 1:16:07
  know, there's been a lot of talk for
• 1:16:08
  a lot of time about um About odessa
• 1:16:15
  Transferring to russian hands and I that part
• 1:16:20
  If this drags on for several more years
• 1:16:23
  I believe that nikolaeva and and odessa Will
• 1:16:28
  be russian and will link to transnistria, which
• 1:16:32
  is moldova That's that's me.
• 1:16:35
  That's a prediction.
• 1:16:36
  I had months and months ago and several
• 1:16:40
  people Have also had that.
• 1:16:43
  Um I don't remember when the first time
• 1:16:45
  was but uh I know i've thought about
• 1:16:49
  that for quite a while that it could
• 1:16:51
  be a Something that could happen um, I
• 1:16:57
  watched on the news here on all the
• 1:17:00
  All the tvs going on here in uh
• 1:17:04
  in studio And saw this and I had
• 1:17:07
  actually seen it a little bit earlier in
• 1:17:10
  the day And I meant to comment on
• 1:17:13
  it because i'm very very much against this
• 1:17:19
  But we've done it again um the u
• 1:17:23
  .s Sank another boat near venezuela it's the
• 1:17:27
  fifth such strike on alleged smugglers Um in
• 1:17:34
  a boat in international waters, they killed six
• 1:17:37
  people Um I still say there's no reason
• 1:17:43
  they couldn't have stopped the boat Bordered boarded
• 1:17:47
  it Shown me even if it's only me
• 1:17:52
  that uh, there were some drugs aboard and
• 1:17:56
  that these were people transporting drugs and then
• 1:18:01
  Taking them into custody this in my humble
• 1:18:06
  opinion Is just downright un-american you don't
• 1:18:11
  just go blow up a boat Because somebody's
• 1:18:16
  drug running you're not calling them terrorists.
• 1:18:19
  Well, you're trying to but you're not a
• 1:18:21
  drug runner It's not a terrorist.
• 1:18:25
  Okay, you don't get to call them a
• 1:18:27
  foreign enemy combatant or anything like that It's
• 1:18:30
  a guy running drugs And they might be
• 1:18:33
  bad people.
• 1:18:34
  Well Kill them while they're doing something bad
• 1:18:37
  besides Running drugs.
• 1:18:39
  I'm not saying drugs are good Arrest them
• 1:18:43
  take them into custody in international waters and
• 1:18:47
  Prove it.
• 1:18:48
  That's all i'm saying.
• 1:18:49
  I want some proof That's what I want
• 1:18:54
  um this also came out about Uh maria,
• 1:19:00
  uh corrina macado Said something to trump jr
• 1:19:06
  And remember me talking about this when the
• 1:19:09
  nobel prize she's the lady who actually won
• 1:19:11
  the nobel prize And trump didn't get it.
• 1:19:14
  Well, she passed out something to uh, Uh
• 1:19:17
  trump jr and kind of was pretty vocal
• 1:19:19
  about it and she's been saying the same
• 1:19:21
  thing I said some not the same thing,
• 1:19:24
  but I talked about it last week um
• 1:19:27
  on uh This oil and the platforms and
• 1:19:34
  letting u.s firms come in and profit
• 1:19:37
  after She takes over as president and the
• 1:19:42
  u.s being engaged in regime change This
• 1:19:45
  is this is how you get nobel peace
• 1:19:47
  prizes You get to go out as the
• 1:19:49
  nobel peace prize winner gets to go well
• 1:19:52
  regime change then But as long as you're
• 1:19:54
  u.s backed, it doesn't matter You know
• 1:19:57
  that that doesn't hurt anything if the u
• 1:20:00
  .s has a coup somewhere nobody's supposed to
• 1:20:02
  say a word And if you u.s
• 1:20:05
  regime change, that's a you know That's just
• 1:20:08
  par for the course.
• 1:20:09
  It's the uh, it's the way it's supposed
• 1:20:10
  to go, you know We have the ci
• 1:20:12
  op cia operating in venezuela This is bs
• 1:20:17
  and they're going to go down there and
• 1:20:18
  kill people and change the regime That's what
• 1:20:21
  we do And then all of the oil
• 1:20:24
  and gas and all the stuff goes and
• 1:20:25
  then what do we get to say?
• 1:20:27
  Oh, well maria macado.
• 1:20:29
  She can be the president and because she
• 1:20:31
  just won the nobel peace prize So she's
• 1:20:33
  one of the good guys and she's been
• 1:20:35
  fighting for democracy for 20 years, right?
• 1:20:38
  like she's going to be any different than
• 1:20:42
  um, what is her name sandu and moldova,
• 1:20:46
  uh, whether she's going to be any different
• 1:20:48
  than Zelensky or any predecessor of his and
• 1:20:52
  after 2014 They won't be any different.
• 1:20:56
  All they are are u.s puppets and
• 1:20:58
  we're doing the exact same regime change Did
• 1:21:02
  I say regime regime change bs that we've
• 1:21:05
  been engaging in for?
• 1:21:08
  freaking ever And I don't like it, but
• 1:21:12
  that's me um Let's see Uh, let's see,
• 1:21:20
  let's see, where are we going?
• 1:21:23
  I had one more do you remember how
• 1:21:25
  I started this?
• 1:21:27
  We had maria zakharova and we had the
• 1:21:30
  uh gentleman who had the Economic discussion.
• 1:21:35
  Mr. Bezrukov and I talked about his his
• 1:21:40
  forecasting um I tell you what, I I
• 1:21:44
  wish I could provide maybe i'll do it
• 1:21:47
  tomorrow night And use him as a start
• 1:21:50
  for tomorrow and then talk about some of
• 1:21:54
  the um Topics that maria zakharova talked about
• 1:21:59
  because she had quite a few of them
• 1:22:00
  the first one That she always talks about
• 1:22:06
  so Her briefing that she gives at least
• 1:22:09
  once a week and usually two or three
• 1:22:11
  times a week are three hours long, right?
• 1:22:16
  And but you know when you listen to
• 1:22:18
  him the first 10 minutes is about attacks
• 1:22:23
  on civilians by ukrainians So ukraine they talk
• 1:22:28
  about this kind of thing a lot and
• 1:22:30
  they like to say.
• 1:22:31
  Oh, jeez russia's killing civilians I don't believe
• 1:22:34
  that and I don't see it, you know
• 1:22:36
  And they lied about bucha and they lie
• 1:22:38
  about a lot of stuff over there and
• 1:22:40
  this could be political propaganda I don't think
• 1:22:44
  it is, you know, they they uh, you
• 1:22:46
  know They talk about the same things and
• 1:22:48
  if you go back and you see it,
• 1:22:50
  it's the same But basically she all of
• 1:22:53
  her opening segments She says that kiev continues
• 1:22:57
  strikes on civilian targets in russia across multiple
• 1:23:01
  russian regions From the 8th to the 14th
• 1:23:05
  of october.
• 1:23:06
  They killed in in inside of russia by
• 1:23:09
  attacking civilian targets They killed 21 people injured
• 1:23:14
  83 including six children examples, she lists october
• 1:23:21
  8th Maslava priestin with a grad mlrs Hit
• 1:23:26
  a sports and health complex and killed three
• 1:23:29
  people including a 25 year old school teacher
• 1:23:33

  approved further special ukrainian forces operations inside of

  russia And so I mean they always talk
• 1:25:58
  about that and we never hear anything about
• 1:26:01
  any of that I'm, not saying we shouldn't
• 1:26:03
  hear both sides, but you only hear about
• 1:26:06
  the evils of russia It's the evils of
• 1:26:08
  war on both sides and uh, i'm not
• 1:26:12
  You know i'd like to see The war
• 1:26:15
  over, you know, none of us want it,
• 1:26:18
  you don't want to see people dying Needlessly,
• 1:26:21
  and this is a needless war She then
• 1:26:24
  talked about um Lavrov's near-term diplomatic schedule.
• 1:26:29
  He's going to be in morocco and in
• 1:26:30
  kazakhstan um on october 16th, there will be
• 1:26:35
  talks in moscow with morocco's minister Uh morocco

  is a really cool country, by the way
• 1:26:42
  And Fantastic highways and i've driven all over
• 1:26:47
  that.
• 1:26:47
  I went to you know, um, casablanca.
• 1:26:50
  That was freaking cool and um geez I
• 1:26:55
  I loved it.
• 1:26:56
  You know, i'd love to go back there.
• 1:26:58
  That was several years ago.
• 1:26:59
  I may need to go back um They're
• 1:27:02
  talking about the emphasis on the north african
• 1:27:04
  sahara And the sahara desert out there.
• 1:27:07
  So there's there's plenty going on about that
• 1:27:10
  She talked about the western escalation and uh
• 1:27:14
  ukraine tomahawks rammstein kiv's washington push um She
• 1:27:22
  also talked about boris johnson and I found
• 1:27:24
  this rather amusing citing a british press leak
• 1:27:27
  She alleged that uk foreign uk former prime
• 1:27:32
  minister boris johnson blocked talks with russia in
• 1:27:36
  early april of 2022 And pushed kiev to
• 1:27:39
  keep fighting.
• 1:27:40
  We already knew that part and he may
• 1:27:42
  have derived material benefit from this Referencing a
• 1:27:46
  1 million pound tie to businessman Guy named
• 1:27:49
  christopher harborn a major shareholder in kinetic which
• 1:27:54
  is um Said kentucky is what I think
• 1:27:58
  it was But anyway, it supplies kiev with
• 1:28:00
  drones and robotics She claims johnson flew harborn
• 1:28:04
  to kiev for closed military technical meetings on
• 1:28:08
  september 23rd framing the episode as a emblematic
• 1:28:13
  of western political industrial profiteering In tandem with
• 1:28:17
  kiev corruption her challenge johnson should answer whether
• 1:28:21
  harborn was indeed on the jet Her segment
• 1:28:25
  fits a recurring theme Anti-russia hysteria as
• 1:28:30
  a cover for the arms industry to get
• 1:28:33
  rich And western political self-interest like boris
• 1:28:38
  johnson getting rich Intended to undermine moral claims
• 1:28:42
  behind the uk and eu policy and argue
• 1:28:45
  that early diplomatic off-ramps were deliberately sabotaged
• 1:28:49
  by london by british foreign I'm sorry prime
• 1:28:54
  minister boris johnson for his own personal gain
• 1:28:59
  This is a british media story and the
• 1:29:01
  ministry of foreign affairs role is to amplify
• 1:29:04
  it And call for some sort of response
• 1:29:09
  And I tell you what I'd like to
• 1:29:12
  see somebody do something like that too many
• 1:29:16
  people getting fabulously wealthy off of this war
• 1:29:19
  lots of ukrainians lots of europeans plenty of
• 1:29:24
  americans Just spreading that money around and watching
• 1:29:28
  people die I'm against it.
