Transcript
- 0:00We interrupt this incredibly awesome music to bring you some incredibly awesome political talk on damn radio
- 0:09Hello, good evening. Welcome. I am hoping that you can hear me properly
- 0:15Jr. If you would endeavor to send me a text if uh, it's not coming in, right? It's been a while
- 0:22Since I came in remotely it all looks right on the meters, I believe
- 0:26But uh, we want to make sure that it's all okay
- 0:30And uh that everything is going the way it's supposed to
- 0:34And I think it is
- 0:36but uh
- 0:38Can't tell for sure at any rate. Hello. Good evening. Welcome. Very glad to be here tonight. Lots of news, uh and events
- 0:46in the world and uh, if you haven't been keeping track, there's plenty of
- 0:54Discussion about the old trumpster's 28 point
- 0:58peace plan
- 1:00um
- 1:01And there's also some information
- 1:03the center of gravity
- 1:05Here you go. The world can go on without the united state
- 1:11according to mark carney
- 1:14oh, shouldn't we all be just very happy that mark carney is is is
- 1:20Speaking about us in such a manner. He um
- 1:23He's a very
- 1:25well-spoken individual
- 1:27Washington did not overestimate its role in the international arena
- 1:33Says canadian prime minister mark carney. He adds that a wide range of issues could be resolved
- 1:41without us involvement
- 1:43the economic
- 1:44center of gravity says he
- 1:47Is shifting away from america
- 1:50He told journalists on the sidelines
- 1:53Of the g20 summit over the weekend where the big three presidents trumpster
- 1:59putin
- 2:00xi jinping did not show up, but we got to hear from uh,
- 2:06Uh, you know, mr. Carney from canada. That's important. The u.s. Skipped the meeting
- 2:12held in johannesburg
- 2:15south africa
- 2:16President trump accused that country south africa of perpetrating
- 2:22Genocide against white farmers and he said that's why he isn't going
- 2:28Washington also said that only a chairman's summary could be released following the summit because
- 2:35The u.s. Was not present
- 2:37So the g20 issued a declaration on sunday anyway
- 2:43The meeting brought together nations representing three quarters of the world's population
- 2:50two-thirds of the global gdp
- 2:53And three quarters of the world's trade
- 2:56And that's without the united states formally attending said carney on sunday
- 3:02It should be and he said it is
- 3:05A reminder that the center of gravity in the global economy
- 3:10is shifting
- 3:12well
- 3:13I tend to agree with him in that
- 3:15In a in in some respects and that we need to play better with others
- 3:19But I also think it's kind of rich coming from carney. So according to the prime minister
- 3:26Decisions reached by the g20 members during the meeting could still carry some weight
- 3:34Despite the u.s. Boycott
- 3:36He said that canada is seeking to strengthen its ties with a variety of nations
- 3:43Including according to the genius carney including south africa india and china
- 3:51So russia sent a presidential
- 3:54Representative maximo reshkin who led the moscow delegation at the summit and said it was a success
- 4:02He added that his team
- 4:03had a lot of constructive communication
- 4:07With friendly nations and even received some proposals on economic
- 4:14cooperation and joint projects
- 4:16from unfriendly
- 4:18countries as well
- 4:21so south african president cyril
- 4:25ramaphosa
- 4:26stated that ahead of the the summit the g20
- 4:29is moving forward and
- 4:32Will not be bullied and he added that the u.s
- 4:37Decision to boycott the meeting
- 4:39was their own
- 4:41loss
- 4:43so
- 4:45That I suppose is is the top important news, huh?
- 4:50You think that's important the g20 meeting?
- 4:52Or should we go back to my favorite which has all kinds of uh,
- 4:58Uh world news involved everybody around the world is interested in this
- 5:04There's been commentary all over
- 5:09um
- 5:11Youtube and everywhere else, you know what I wanted to say and I forgot to remember how I usually say
- 5:17Uh, I am coming to you
- 5:20Live from the real estate of the art studio
- 5:25I'm coming to you live
- 5:27tonight
- 5:29from the
- 5:30parking lot
- 5:31of the staybridge hotel
- 5:34in nashville, tennessee
- 5:37On my way to florida going to florida
- 5:40for the uh
- 5:42thanksgiving
- 5:43Holiday and gonna be down there. So i'm uh
- 5:47Back to broadcasting on the road hoping that the sound is coming through in a reasonably good fashion
- 5:54It appears to be on the meter so we shall see if jr has said anything about uh
- 6:00About it. Nope. He hasn't probably not listening. Ah
- 6:04let us all
- 6:05um
- 6:06Have a single tear roll down our cheats because jr isn't listening to my show then again, he might be
- 6:14only
- 6:15only
- 6:16only text will tell
- 6:18um, well I wanted to
- 6:20go into
- 6:22The all of the talk has been about these meetings at the g20
- 6:27These talks that are going to be held in geneva and i'm wondering if they're so
- 6:33Intent on this being geneva. I don't understand that at all
- 6:38but um
- 6:39That's that is where it's going to be. They're they're being held in geneva
- 6:44and so
- 6:45Uh, it's ukrainian officials. I hear that. Um
- 6:50Um
- 6:52The old, uh the team that's showing up in
- 6:58Geneva for the u.s. It's the u.s. Secretary of state marco rubio
- 7:03Secretary of the army dan driscoll
- 7:07and special envoy steve wittkopf
- 7:11Are meeting with the ukrainian delegation
- 7:15in geneva
- 7:16As president trump's deadline looms
- 7:20Well trump said today that uh, even though kiev was only given until thursday to accept his 28 point plan
- 7:28Which we spoke quite a bit about on thursday evening
- 7:32um in my my prior program
- 7:35all 28 points laid out
- 7:38that he could be
- 7:40according to the washington post today that he could be
- 7:45A little flexible on whether they're going to accept it or not
- 7:50By the way, if you do wish to call in, um
- 7:54You still should be able to 5 7 3 7 4 6 80 20 as long as I can
- 8:01get the um
- 8:04As long as I can can connect you and i'm pretty sure I can
- 8:08Connect you if you chose to call
- 8:12Um, but it doesn't matter
- 8:14Doesn't matter it matters if you call I will try to get to it and it does matter
- 8:18I do like to have callers on the show and I do like to speak with them
- 8:22But the deadline is allegedly thanksgiving day
- 8:25This thursday is the deadline for the z monster to accept the plan
- 8:30Now europe is all up in arms and say that they can't live with the u.s. Getting all the money
- 8:38um from russia's frozen assets
- 8:41um
- 8:43um
- 8:44ukraine, of course is somewhat up in arms, but even the washington post acknowledged that
- 8:49The reason that this plan is looming large
- 8:53Is big and and trump what did he say last week? He was out in either in the white house or headed toward. Um
- 9:01uh
- 9:02Air force one or to his his helicopter or whichever it was he was on his way
- 9:07Uh somewhere and you know how the gaggle always grabs him and tries to get him to answer your question
- 9:12They said what what's going to happen if zelensky doesn't accept and he said well, he can just keep fighting his little heart out
- 9:19And let him keep on fighting but allegedly according to the post
- 9:25that the
- 9:26plan calls for
- 9:28terminating at that point
- 9:31Money, but more importantly money in arms, but more importantly terminating
- 9:37United states
- 9:39providing
- 9:40military intelligence
- 9:42That would be a big deal
- 9:45If the u.s stopped providing intelligence to ukraine
- 9:50Frankly, I think they should have been cut off a long time ago
- 9:55um, and the post said today that basically
- 9:59They think that
- 10:01this
- 10:03Is the fact that a kiev that ukraine is losing their ass on the battlefield
- 10:09it's finally getting people to
- 10:12Trump's especially to make a move and the statement on a couple of
- 10:20programs on
- 10:22Youtube and on some news that i've been listening to have been that if trump pulls this off
- 10:30He is officially
- 10:33the greatest negotiator in history
- 10:38and the reason for that is because
- 10:43he will be um
- 10:46Getting
- 10:47a victory
- 10:49Not for russia
- 10:50Not for ukraine. Certainly, uh, you know ukraine will be losing their asses
- 10:56Russia will be losing 300 billion dollars in assets and
- 11:03You know and some other things as well
- 11:06but the u.s
- 11:07wins huge, you know because we get
- 11:11We don't lose anything europe gets nothing. They're completely forgotten and I can see that as a potential
- 11:19um
- 11:20I I can understand the argument that it's a big
- 11:24A big victory for the united states, uh, but I also think
- 11:32It stops the bleeding
- 11:35for ukraine
- 11:37um, but
- 11:38They get they also get you know, a lot of russia's money that trump gets to
- 11:45push
- 11:47Into ukraine, but even bigger than that
- 11:51Is much bigger than the money much bigger than all that is there was an economist
- 11:56united states economist professor that was a guy in the reagan administration
- 12:02that stated today
- 12:04that
- 12:06He estimates that 360 billion dollars have gone to ukraine
- 12:13Oh, oh, it's just in the last three years and we're not talking the billions that went from 2014
- 12:21until
- 12:232022
- 12:24Eight years of nobody paying attention and all kinds of ukrainians getting wealthy
- 12:31um
- 12:32because that money does tend to trickle down to use a famous reaganism
- 12:37and so there are tons of people that benefited from that but
- 12:43Just since 2022
- 12:48360 billion dollars from various countries around the world
- 12:54and the estimate is
- 12:56that 15
- 12:57to 20
- 12:59percent of that
- 13:02Went in the pockets of corrupt
- 13:05Actors all over the globe not just in ukraine
- 13:09So that's not counting the corrupt us people that isn't counting the corrupt europeans
- 13:15And that doesn't even begin to address the corrupt
- 13:19um
- 13:20Ukrainians, which is literally at least 20 percent in my opinion
- 13:26of the money that comes in and you can't trust the
- 13:30360 billion either because if they say it's only 360 billion
- 13:36It's probably been five to six hundred billion because they never tell the truth on how much money is going in there either
- 13:44and so
- 13:46the the fact is there are some
- 13:48huge amounts of money that we are talking about here and
- 13:54it's uh, it's
- 13:57probably
- 13:58uh
- 14:00very
- 14:03There's a lot of money that's been stolen
- 14:05And so
- 14:06The europeans are all up in arms and they don't want to lose out on this other 300 billion that russia has sitting around
- 14:14And who's going to get it?
- 14:17america or 50 of the profits on top of that and the uh,
- 14:23Europeans aren't even addressed. So this plan according to um,
- 14:29Uh
- 14:31Many well the deadline was until thursday to accept the plan
- 14:36But trump has has said just in over the weekend that you know, we're not going to hold him to this solid deadline
- 14:42but this um
- 14:44button submission of this 28 point plan by leaking it somewhere
- 14:50it uh
- 14:52Weakens alinsky a lot because basically he's being told that he has to accept it
- 14:59And they released an alleged draft of the text
- 15:02And it it triggered turmoil everywhere
- 15:06Kiev's european backers are scrambling and western media is calling their reaction an emergency
- 15:13response
- 15:14Tensions are high
- 15:16Concern is growing over zalensky's ongoing corruption scandals
- 15:21while the kremlin
- 15:23Is refusing to engage in what it calls megaphone diplomacy
- 15:28And that's following a series of vocal declarations of defiance
- 15:33from brussels on friday
- 15:35european council president antonio costa
- 15:38Admitted that the eu hadn't even been informed about the plan
- 15:43And zalensky held an emergency call with emmanuel macron
- 15:47Peter starmer and friedrich mertz and and those three did a little bit of a presser while on the
- 15:55Uh in south africa at the g20 they all got together and did a little um tv blurb about um
- 16:04about how
- 16:06they didn't they didn't think this should should
- 16:10Uh be done without the involvement of europe and europe not getting any of the
- 16:18300
- 16:20Billion dollars of russian money that is sitting around out there
- 16:24And there was the news
- 16:26Part that said, um, so the the various, um
- 16:31Discussions over this. Where did they start?
- 16:35Um, because there's they've been trying to keep
- 16:38updating
- 16:40the timeline
- 16:41And what they put in here and this this to me
- 16:46Is troubling. It's not as troubling as
- 16:50the
- 16:51Um
- 16:54Uh hunter biden
- 16:56Involvement in ukraine, but this is still troubling
- 17:01Um, and this came out at 11 p.m
- 17:04Russian time, so this would have been
- 17:08about
- 17:10Uh 4 p.m
- 17:12uh
- 17:14Missouri time, okay
- 17:16And so about 4 p.m
- 17:18It came out that trump's son-in-law
- 17:22Jared kushner
- 17:24Is part of the u.s delegation in geneva
- 17:28And uh, there's a photo of him at the meeting
- 17:31And kushner is believed to have played a key role in u.s diplomacy in the middle east as well
- 17:39And uh, you know elsewhere as well, but I don't know. I don't really like that
- 17:44Nepotism sort of thing. I just don't like it
- 17:48Um, and then a little bit later, maybe 20 30 minutes after that
- 17:53Said a member of the ukrainian delegation
- 17:56um
- 17:57Actually, uh broke his pen, you know snapped it in half in other words during talks with the u.s delegation
- 18:06basically, they're being told they got to accept or
- 18:10Or else and that's probably just bs that's probably just you know, it broke but it does look broken, you know
- 18:17Somebody actually took a picture of it
- 18:20And but that'd have to be somebody leaking it because there's no press in there, you know, nobody's in there
- 18:25and uh
- 18:27so
- 18:28I don't know
- 18:30um, there was also something and I hope jr gets into this in his show tomorrow because i'll be listening if he is
- 18:36And I want to hear about what um
- 18:42What he knows about this or if he knows anything new?
- 18:48So there was the article that came out, um today that says trump's doge doesn't exist anymore
- 18:56uh at all
- 18:57Um, I thought it still existed, but it was just not public anymore and that elon musk wasn't a part of it
- 19:04But I don't know maybe jr knows or he's talked about it before and i've just missed it
- 19:09But the story is that the department of energy and government official fish
- 19:15Efficiency has disbanded. Um eight months ahead of when it was supposed to end
- 19:23Uh donald trump launched the agency with a hell of a lot of publicity
- 19:27after taking office in january
- 19:30And said it would be a sweeping effort to slash federal waste bureaucracy
- 19:35Um, he tapped elon musk to be the czar of it
- 19:39And the u.s. Office of personnel management the government's human resources
- 19:45Office has taken over many of doge's functions said reuters
- 19:51um when asked about doge status
- 19:54um director scott cooper said
- 19:57That doesn't exist any longer the agency is no longer a centralized entity
- 20:04Said the news outlet and uh key doge employees
- 20:10Have reportedly been absorbed into other sections of the u.s. Government
- 20:15And the trump administration has not admitted that the agency has been disbanded
- 20:21Ahead of its uh, decreed termination in july of next year
- 20:26However, the president has long switched
- 20:30To referring to doge in the past tense according to reuters
- 20:35Suspicion about the agency's future began in june
- 20:38When there was a feud between musk and trump and his big beautiful bill and blah blah blah
- 20:43at this stage the agency
- 20:47Is facing legal pushback against its efforts in september ap said the white house had moved to rehire
- 20:55Hundreds of federal employees that let go during the push. So right back to business as usual
- 21:03um
- 21:03Who who can tell we don't know if that's true or not
- 21:08but um
- 21:10it's
- 21:11certainly
- 21:12Irritating to me that uh that these things get started and um, and don't don't finish
- 21:22um
- 21:23Meanwhile the white house is seeking to freeze billions
- 21:28In foreign aid. I hope this comes out
- 21:32Donald trump has asked the supreme court to freeze 4.9
- 21:35billion
- 21:37in foreign assistance
- 21:39Move follows a ruling last week
- 21:42by district judge amir ali
- 21:44Who said the administration cannot withhold billions of aid that congress already approved?
- 21:50But under the constitution only congress can decide how money is spent
- 21:55And the executive branch is required to carry out these appropriations
- 22:01So solicitor general
- 22:04john sawyer
- 22:05Filed an emergency application of the supreme court monday
- 22:09Warning that ali's ruling raises a grave and urgent threat to the separation of powers
- 22:15trump asked congress to cancel the 4.9 billion, which it was
- 22:21Appropriated for state department and u.s. Agency for international development
- 22:27foreign assistance
- 22:28and I think there was a
- 22:31Ruling by alito, but I can't find it
- 22:36um, I thought I read that alito had
- 22:41Overturned that decision, but I haven't been able to find the article and I can't remember where I read it, but
- 22:48Don't hold me to that because I haven't seen it
- 22:51But since the escalation in ukraine in 2022
- 22:55The u.s. Has sent billions to kiev most of it through u.s. Agency for international development
- 23:02And trump and other u.s. Officials claim that large portions
- 23:06Were lost according to mismanagement and corruption
- 23:10And did not ever reach the intended recipients
- 23:14so
- 23:18USAid is allegedly still shut down saying it's got radical lunatics and blah blah blah
- 23:23Who knows where it ended up? I think that that money was gone
- 23:28and that it was uh
- 23:30That that is uh officially gone
- 23:34But there you go. Um, here's one for you that I that I am quite interested in. I don't like this anyway
- 23:42nearly
- 23:44200 000
- 23:46Ukrainians might lose the right to stay in the u.s. Now, this is more just um
- 23:55I don't know what you would call it a public whip or media whipping up the public
- 24:01in my opinion, but
- 24:03the article says
- 24:05200 000 ukrainians could lose their status
- 24:09um because of washington's border security crackdown
- 24:13The humanitarian ukrainian refugee program you for you plan was launched
- 24:19shortly after february
- 24:212022
- 24:23and it allowed about
- 24:25260 000
- 24:27Ukrainians to enter the country for an initial two-year period
- 24:32President trump paused the processing
- 24:35Of applications and renewals early this year as part of a broader freeze on
- 24:42nationality-based
- 24:43humanitarian programs
- 24:45But in march trump said he was considering revoking ukrainian legal status
- 24:51Entirely, but did not do so in may processing renewals was resumed
- 24:58but immigration officials processed only
- 25:011900 renewal applications
- 25:04for ukrainians and other nationalities since then
- 25:09Representing a fraction of those with expiring status
- 25:13Meanwhile those waiting for decisions on getting an extension
- 25:17Can be detained by immigration authorities once the status expires
- 25:24So across europe public and political support for hosting ukrainians is definitely declining
- 25:31You know, not a lot of people are interested in this anymore
- 25:35And in august germany, which has over get this number folks
- 25:41Germany has over
- 25:421.25 million
- 25:46ukrainian refugees
- 25:48They announced plans to reduce the welfare payments. Those ukrainians are receiving
- 25:54Because they can't sustain it in their budget. So
- 25:58polish officials
- 26:00Recently said the same thing
- 26:02And they're talking about the scale of the support giving all this freebies to ukrainians and president carol naraki
- 26:11Suggested this month that preferential treatment for them could end as well
- 26:16and in the uk
- 26:18authorities have increasingly denied long-term protection
- 26:23And working visas for ukrainians saying that western regions of ukraine
- 26:29Are now safe. So go back home
- 26:32Several million ukrainians fled the country over the last three years 4.4
- 26:37million have received temporary protection in the eu
- 26:42So get this russia said
- 26:45That 5.5 million ukrainians have arrived in russia
- 26:51by the end of
- 26:522023
- 26:53Three
- 26:54And there's two more years after that. I haven't seen any recent numbers on what that is
- 27:00either but many have left not only because of the conflict but because of mobilization practices
- 27:08and and this, uh
- 27:10Confrontation between draft officers and you know, the beatings that they're taking and all of that
- 27:17um
- 27:18you know that is
- 27:19that is
- 27:21A huge number russia has taken more than europe 5.5
- 27:27Million of them have applied for russian passports. So on a personal note, I I know that uh in florida
- 27:36there
- 27:37Where I where I live in florida, there are tons and tons of ukrainians
- 27:41And there's a lot of ukrainians that come over and left because they were russian
- 27:49in ukraine
- 27:51And not just ukraine
- 27:53But they had ukrainian passports, but they were russians because that's where their families were
- 27:59When the soviet union collapsed, but they're all russian. They speak russian. They're russian orthodox all of this and they came
- 28:08here
- 28:08but since they have ukrainian
- 28:11Passports they some of them cannot go back to russia
- 28:16And so when they try to go to russia they face all kinds of questions about that
- 28:20And they you know, you can't have a dual
- 28:24Russian ukrainian, I mean you can but but it's it's hard to do
- 28:28And so a lot of people are fearful of going back to ukraine to get mobilized
- 28:32but they're in fear of going to russia because then they fear they fear being somewhat
- 28:39Targeted. I don't think it's really that big a deal in russia
- 28:42I think there's a hell of a lot more that go there because they don't
- 28:46Like what's going on?
- 28:48In ukraine, and they don't want to be mobilized, but they all have relatives in russia
- 28:54And so it's I don't know. It's a tough tough issue and this war needs to be done
- 29:00And america needs to be out of it, but there's a guy an ambassador
- 29:05named
- 29:07Alexander darchaev, okay the indefinite
- 29:12Postponement of the russian-american summit
- 29:15Remember that one which was supposed to take place in budapest, which was discussed after
- 29:22The meeting with alaska in between trump and putin
- 29:28and
- 29:29There was a later second meeting at the white house when
- 29:33The old z monster showed up. So the russian ambassador to the us is alexander darchaev
- 29:40And so there was he was being interviewed and one of the questions was donald trump claimed that the us will conduct nuclear tests
- 29:49Very soon. I remember i'm very much interested in this in this topic because of my past
- 29:56And the question is how will this affect russian-american relations and strategic stability?
- 30:03moscow's initiatives to extend
- 30:05the strategic arms reduction treaty start
- 30:10With a prolonged pause in response
- 30:13And that expires february 5 of 2026
- 30:17So here's darchaev's response. The situation is a paradox
- 30:21The american administration has still not provided an official explanation
- 30:27Requested by the russian foreign ministry as to whether the u.s. President is referring to
- 30:33live tests involving detonations of nuclear warheads
- 30:40or
- 30:41well, which would effectively bury the arms control regime that the americans themselves have destroyed
- 30:48Or the test of new delivery systems. This leaves a lot of room for speculation
- 30:54and insinuation
- 30:56If the americans argue that they need to carefully analyze the russian initiative
- 31:03In order to maintain the limits
- 31:05established by the new start treaty for one year after its
- 31:10expiration
- 31:11A process can be completed quickly and without negotiation
- 31:16Then creating
- 31:18uncertainty around this issue of international security and strategic stability
- 31:23Does not contribute to mutual
- 31:26trust and cost
- 31:28I'm, sorry cast doubt on the american side's
- 31:33responsible approach
- 31:34But it is worth noting that the potential resumption of nuclear testing in the u.s. Has drawn sharp criticism
- 31:42Not only from donald trump's political opponents
- 31:46But from experts in the professional community who warn of serious negative consequences surrounding such a move
- 31:55Claims that russia and china remember when trump said that both russia and china were conducting
- 32:01Nuclear tests they aren't but uh, he claimed they were
- 32:07That they're testing nuclear weapons and that america must follow suit are completely unfounded. That's true
- 32:14Um such reversals by the current administration
- 32:18Are driven by the desire to ensure
- 32:22u.s. Military superiority
- 32:24In moscow, however, they are viewed calmly in the light of the break few breakthrough models
- 32:30Of the latest weapons developed in recent years which provide reliable security for our country. He's talking about russia
- 32:39We've always been willing to engage in honest and equal dialogue
- 32:43On this vitally important issue while strictly observing russia's national interests
- 32:49However, it is important to recognize that the conditions for dialogue will only be met when we observe positive changes
- 32:58in washington's policy
- 33:00Towards russia. Well, I say that it is getting
- 33:04A little more positive with what is going on
- 33:10Recently
- 33:11Uh as far as russia and with trump, I I believe that russia is holding the upper hand once again
- 33:18as far as uh
- 33:21Talks with the united states as opposed to uh ukraine being you know, um
- 33:29Forced into something
- 33:31I'm, not sure how this will end and there's been a a decent amount of talk on the russian side
- 33:38About how the 28-point plan might not be
- 33:43All it's cracked up to be but at least they've said they could. Um
- 33:48Work with it, you know what I mean that they could that's a good starting point and it's it's really um
- 33:56russia gains
- 33:58almost
- 34:00All of the donbass they have all of uh, um
- 34:05Uh
- 34:08Donetsk
- 34:09I'm, sorry. They have all of lugansk and most of donetsk
- 34:13and uh, they want to
- 34:14Create the rest turn the rest of it, which is about 15 20 percent
- 34:20of donetsk maybe
- 34:2210 to 15 more like it
- 34:24Um that would turn into a buffer zone
- 34:27That russia would have to withdraw from
- 34:30And it would be
- 34:32Demilitarized and they're talking that uh that an actual wall would be built around them. No, i'm not for walls, frankly
- 34:39Um, i'm not for i'm for border
- 34:42Security, but i'm not for walls. Um, so I don't know. I don't know how that turns out. Um,
- 34:50Anyway, there was another question. Um for
- 34:53uh
- 34:54The ambassador alexander darchaev and it was the stalled negotiation
- 35:00process and trump's cancellation of the proposed summit
- 35:03In budapest indicate that washington is backed off the ukrainian issue
- 35:09Can we say that positive momentum of the anchorage summit?
- 35:15Has been exhausted expired
- 35:18And darchaev says so this is this is what got me interested darchaev says not at all the significance of the personal meeting
- 35:26between vladimir putin
- 35:29And donald trump now back in the white house
- 35:32Uh lies in the fact that the two leaders negotiate on equal terms and try to find common ground
- 35:39This is interesting coming from the russian ambassador. So and and uh, and and I think
- 35:44He's been pretty he's being pretty straight up about it
- 35:49So just because the dialogue is stalled does not mean it is stopped
- 35:53contacts at various levels continue
- 35:55And this requires patience and persistence
- 35:59Well, I think russia has been
- 36:02very patient
- 36:03um at the same time
- 36:05Of course one cannot ignore the pressure that is exerted by the deep state
- 36:10Imagine an ambassador talking about the deep state
- 36:14And its representatives in power who oppose donald trump
- 36:19They the deep state are pushing the president to increase its pressure on moscow
- 36:25Which is futile in order to force the russians to immediately
- 36:30these hostilities
- 36:31And save the linsky's regime
- 36:34furthermore the fundamental principles of trumpism
- 36:38america first
- 36:40and peace through strength
- 36:42Imply the necessity of robust negotiation to eliminate accumulated
- 36:48Irritants rather than relying on personal chemistry that has developed between the leaders
- 36:54however bumps and pitfalls of such a disillusioned dialogue, which I
- 36:59Reiterate is taking place outside of the public's eye and away from channels exposed in the media
- 37:07Should not distract from the main point
- 37:10As great powers russia and the united states are doomed to agree
- 37:16on at least a
- 37:18non-confrontational
- 37:20Coexistence this has been understood by soviet and american leaders
- 37:25When they established diplomatic relations in 1933
- 37:29Following donald trump's inauguration the presidents of our countries also recognized this
- 37:35When they agreed in a telephone call on february 12th
- 37:40That they would seek to normalize
- 37:42the russian american agenda
- 37:46Um, i'm impatient for this myself. That's the end of his answer, by the way, but i'm impatient for this
- 37:52I know there's been talks about it, but I haven't
- 37:57Seen as much movement as I would like to see and that is a little frustrating to me
- 38:02And it was apparently to the person because the question follow-up was this what is the current status of consultations on
- 38:11your irritants in the bilateral relations
- 38:15these were initiated by the previous administrations and
- 38:19The irritancy means which is the war and given the new circumstances
- 38:23were intended to facilitate swift removal
- 38:28Of existing bans and restrictions on operations of diplomatic missions from both countries
- 38:36This has not yet happened. Furthermore the conditions for issuing
- 38:41Visas to russians have become more stringent. Why?
- 38:45Well, it's not all that easy to get a visa
- 38:48To get to russia either that I gotta tell you it's not all that easy. It's a it's a
- 38:55Somewhat difficult to do so it's it's it's it's so i've done it three times
- 39:03Four times yeah four times since uh, 2020
- 39:08and
- 39:10Several times before that but that was back in the 90s and it was usually done by somebody else
- 39:16Instead of me. I didn't really have to go there but to get a russian visa as an american isn't all that simple either
- 39:24And you uh, so so first so one time I had to drive from missouri all the way to washington dc
- 39:32To go to the consulate which is you know in washington dc. It's in it's on the virginia side
- 39:37I forget where but but it's uh, maybe 20 minutes outside of dc proper, right?
- 39:42And you go to the to the consulate which is in a neighborhood. It's not near the embassy at all
- 39:49And you go to uh this consulate and it's uh, literally
- 39:56all
- 39:57A four hour five hour wait to try to get in
- 40:01And you have to have an appointment days in advance to get in and that's not easy to create
- 40:06So it takes you a while to create the appointment to get in
- 40:11And that was in dc
- 40:12So then I had to get another one and that one I tried to get
- 40:16And uh, it said it was easier for me to go from
- 40:22Missouri to houston, so I went all the way to houston
- 40:27There it was a tiny bit easier, but it was still a pain in the rear end and
- 40:32They went through the documents. It wasn't as full. There weren't as many people and we got it done
- 40:38Now you pay your certain amount whatever the fee is to get your visa hundred and seventy five dollars something like that
- 40:45You got to have your photos
- 40:48Specific and the way they do it, you know
- 40:50Similar to us passport sort of thing, but the russian sizes are all different
- 40:56And so the russian sides are different the paper sizes are different, you know
- 41:00You don't have eight and a half eleven
- 41:01You have like a 10 paper that you got to print everything on and all that stuff anyway
- 41:07And you have to send in your passport with it to get this done. So you send your passport in
- 41:12Several weeks before so you're without a passport and your passport is located in the russian
- 41:19Consulate in houston or in dc, wherever you go. Well, I did that and then so
- 41:25Between so so the first time taking my trip and driving to uh,
- 41:30Washington dc from missouri. I mean, what does that cost you you get a hotel for two nights?
- 41:36You you drive and and I like to drive or you can fly and do whatever I can't remember
- 41:40I think I flew to houston, but I I can't remember
- 41:44Um, and I think I flew down there because you know big airport right there
- 41:49And um, but either way, you know, what do you got a two three hundred dollar, um airline ticket
- 41:55a hotel for a night and um
- 41:59And the fee for buying your visa well
- 42:02In florida. Did I get that in florida? I got a nope. I was still in missouri when I got this. So so the um,
- 42:10The last time I got a visa and this visa
- 42:14Current visa that I have expires like in april of next year and I want to go one more time before it expires
- 42:20but this time
- 42:22I got all the paperwork together
- 42:25I found a russian visa
- 42:29process
- 42:31Expert speaks russian a russian speaking person
- 42:35um
- 42:36A russian who's connected with this
- 42:38a government somehow
- 42:41That was in miami
- 42:43and
- 42:45Paid I can't remember it was some ungodly amount of money
- 42:49But by the time you don't have to drive you don't have to get a hotel
- 42:52You don't have to be gone for three days. It costs like 750 bucks, but they pretty much guaranteed
- 42:59Your success they said you will have a visa and it will be a three-year visa
- 43:04I was like really they said yeah, if you don't get it, we give your money back. I was like, oh, well that sounds
- 43:10Reasonable to me. So I paid the money sent in my passport
- 43:15Uh, it's still you still had to send your passport and all the stuff and you and you ship it off and off it goes
- 43:21And and you get your passport back
- 43:23Uh three weeks later something like that. It all comes in the mail
- 43:27It's all you know, well documented and you send it in but you get it back and the visa is put in your
- 43:35passport like uh
- 43:36Because your picture's got to be on it
- 43:38It's got to be an on and now there's a little bit of way to get the the paperwork before you go
- 43:43but I don't know if any of you travel and if in it's um
- 43:46It's it's interesting. You have to have visas in a lot of places as an american
- 43:51It's less number than in other places like russians have to go through this to get to america
- 43:57They have to go through this to get to europe. They have to go through this to get to a number of countries
- 44:01and the u.s has one of the
- 44:04Least restrictive passports around but I think I did a show on this. Uh,
- 44:10Several weeks ago that said we were in the um
- 44:15In the bottom
- 44:17Well, we were no longer in the top 10. We're like number 12 or 13 or something in our in in our uh,
- 44:25Uh passport that you can go places without a visa
- 44:29And they charge you but it changes all the time too like the first time I went to turkey
- 44:34You had to get online and get a visa first time. I went to australia
- 44:39You had to get online line and get a visa
- 44:42And pay the money, you know to register before you get on the plane
- 44:46Because it needs to be sent to you and it's all an electronic process and you get it done
- 44:50So I wanted to know about these visa processes
- 44:54and they're talking about these
- 44:57Bilateral deals that the countries have been making and and it came up when they were talking about the the irritants
- 45:06And so this question
- 45:07By this interviewer to darchaev about the irritants. These are some of the irritants and his answer went as follows
- 45:16after this
- 45:17Uh interviewer followed up on the irritant part of the deal
- 45:22He said the dialogue on irritants has been ongoing and certain improvements
- 45:28Have been achieved to date. However, these do not change the restrictive system imposed by joe biden
- 45:36Because biden didn't talk to anybody for three and a half years
- 45:40They merely mitigate his most objectionable
- 45:43Aspect for example the notification regime for diplomatic mission staff
- 45:50traveling outside
- 45:5225 mile free movement zone has been relaxed
- 45:57Previously permission had to be obtained for each instance of crossing the zone
- 46:02but now
- 46:04Permission is only required
- 46:06for travel outside of the agreed quota
- 46:11now
- 46:12Relaxations within the quota have been introduced for business and for tourism travel
- 46:18You correctly note that the issuance of regular visas are citizens
- 46:23Who the americans serving in moscow?
- 46:27They don't serve them in moscow shut down the consulate
- 46:31Um due to lack of personnel because we pulled everybody back
- 46:35And so there are no operating consulates in moscow or in russia at all
- 46:40And you only have the the embassy and the embassy was severely limited. So russians can't get visas. It's very difficult
- 46:49so he says
- 46:51um
- 46:52They're now limited to consular
- 46:55sections of embassies in astana and warsaw
- 46:58Where a schengen visa is required. So a schengen visa is a visa that allows
- 47:05um
- 47:06A foreigner, uh to go all over europe and so russians have to have them
- 47:11Ukrainians have to have them but they've limited that when they
- 47:15Become the eu and certainly when russia went so there's a lot of visa free travel for ukrainians in europe
- 47:22But it used to be that ukrainians and russians had to have schengen visas which cover all of europe, right?
- 47:29and so now for a russian to get an
- 47:33American visa before they used to be able to go to the american consulate in moscow
- 47:38And there were a couple other ones and I forget the cities they were in but they were there were several inside of russia
- 47:44Um where russians could go but now they can't and the embassy didn't do them
- 47:50They were they were curtailed. And so these uh ambassador these embassies are now
- 47:57Authorizing authorized to take russian visa stickers
- 48:02in the us embassies in astana and warsaw poland
- 48:09and
- 48:09but
- 48:11the russian people
- 48:13Can't get to warsaw, which is an eu nation. They can't get there without a schengen visa
- 48:19So they have to get a schengen visa first and then a us visa and that doubles the length of time
- 48:25They got away. So he's just pointing that out. It says at the same time the situation
- 48:31With diplomatic and service visas has improved a little bit. This is somewhat given
- 48:38the mass expulsion
- 48:40Of russian diplomatic staff that was initiated by washington
- 48:44under the biden years followed by
- 48:47retaliatory measures which ultimately led to a shortage of personnel on both sides because um
- 48:55After the u.s. Expelled a bunch of russians the russians expelled a bunch of the united states
- 49:01Incidentally despite the smaller staffs the working regime of depleted consular offices did not change
- 49:08During the aforementioned consultations on these irritants the parties agreed to ensure uninterrupted
- 49:15banking services for diplomats
- 49:18They committed not to block financial transactions
- 49:23With appropriate exemptions from sanctions
- 49:26This is the primary concern of the united states who was sanctioning everybody, right?
- 49:32um, but progress stalled in this regard, um,
- 49:36Because they have failed to address the root cause of the abnormal state of bilateral relations
- 49:42Which hinder the normalization process envisaged by the presidents meaning trump and putin
- 49:48The u.s. State department
- 49:51Categorically refuses to discuss the return of six properties that have been confiscated
- 49:57From the russian federation and are now being treated as someone else's private property
- 50:03the american special services which have taken the properties under their
- 50:08Protection are illegally denying access to the russian ambassador
- 50:13and to russian diplomats
- 50:16similarly the linking
- 50:18By linking the commencement of meaningful discussions on this matter to a resolution in ukraine
- 50:25The u.s. Is responding to the suggestion of resuming
- 50:29Direct air links like an aeroflot which was told also told they couldn't fly
- 50:35Which washington suspended following the commencement of the special?
- 50:40military operation
- 50:42And the guy says the interviewer then says is there any hope that this dialogue will get off the ground
- 50:49because nothing's been done on it at all and he says
- 50:53We are not giving up. We are urging the state department
- 50:57Negotiating team not to narrow the dialogue on these irritants
- 51:02Contrary to the task set by the presidents. It is important not to limit ourselves to these visa issues and day-to-day
- 51:10Practicalities of ensuring the functioning of diplomatic missions, but rather to focus on restoring
- 51:17Normality more broadly. The first step is to return to december 16
- 51:24What 2016 when barack obama frustrated by hillary clinton's defeat in the presidential election?
- 51:32Initiated the russian-american diplomatic war and that's true. He really did
- 51:38We are now painfully dealing with the consequences of this we will continue to work persistently
- 51:45in this direction
- 51:47so talk about um
- 51:50What do you call it a sore loser remember when obama went and uh
- 51:55scratched all the russian consulates and and terminated a whole bunch of
- 52:01of
- 52:02diplomatic channels and positions because hillary clinton lost and it was all due to
- 52:08russia gate remember
- 52:10um, and it was all due to russia, so he he
- 52:13took a very big
- 52:15approach to uh
- 52:17to beat up on
- 52:20Uh russia in that way
- 52:22so
- 52:26Did you hear about this one i've found this one, uh
- 52:31very weird
- 52:33and uh
- 52:34It says this this came out
- 52:38Earlier today and then maybe I can get jr to uh, take some interest in this for his show also
- 52:46two u.s men
- 52:48Have been indicted
- 52:50for allegedly plotting an armed operation
- 52:54to take control of a caribbean island
- 52:58kill its male population

- 54:04Adding that both men have been charged with
- 54:08conspiracy to murder

- 57:10I'm not always i'm not always for
- 57:14You're the classic moderate
- 57:16And you know without moderates we'd be doomed but the problem is we don't have many moderates like you sam
- 57:22We need more moderates like you but those old baby boomers those zoomers and boomers. They are not moderates man
- 57:29They are blue haired pink haired yellow haired
- 57:33Leftist radical brainwashed f's dude. That's the battle that we're fighting right now
- 57:38You know what the percentage of men to you know, like guys like you and me and i'm not calling you
- 57:44Like me I far be it for me
- 57:46To consider you like me because i'm gonna say you and me are probably more different than we are alike. But here's the thing
- 57:54those leftist those
- 57:56I mean freaks disillusioned
- 57:59bamboozled
- 58:01in incomprehensible
- 58:04Dumbbells man, there's like three percent of them
- 58:07Maybe maybe a percent and a half not many and the big mainstream news and media puts it all out there
- 58:14Like there's a big fight to fight. There is no big fight to fight man
- 58:18I'm going to tell you even from your position as a moderate
- 58:22Going to my position as a very um
- 58:25I don't know. I don't know what you want to call me a right-wing radical. Maybe a conspiracy theorist
- 58:30I don't know somebody that doesn't but i'm a conspiracy theorist, too. I i'm i'm
- 58:36I I believe in my share of conspiracy. You know what I mean?
- 58:40It's yeah, I do. I do why I continue. I get it. That's why
- 58:44Yeah, I called in tonight and i'm glad I think you're going on like in the mornings or something soon, aren't you?
- 58:50Yeah, i'm this week i'm gonna try to do my regular all the way through thursday
- 58:58And uh, the only issue is is uh
- 59:02next sunday
- 59:03I am not leaving
- 59:07florida until
- 59:09I gotta take my wife to the airport in tampa and then i'll be driving back from there
- 59:15But her flight's not till like I don't know noon or something so I can't drop her off till 10
- 59:20Otherwise i'd leave real early in the morning
- 59:24It's just a one-time thing
- 59:28Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, i'm i'm doing 7 30 to 9
- 59:34Or 7 to 8 30 with music after the 8 30 to 9 part
- 59:39So it doesn't interfere with anybody who starts at 9. I haven't decided yet, but it's probably 7 30 to 9
- 59:46every morning
- 59:48thanks for bringing that up, by the way, I meant to mention it and uh,
- 59:52uh to
- 59:53But this will be what what is that day december the first
- 59:57so
- 59:59But monday I might not be I might be doing it on the road because the 30th is sunday, I think
- 1:00:06Well, that's great. I'd love so i'd love to hear you at 7 30 in the morning then
- 1:00:11a multitude of of other, you know options out there, you know sports radio or
- 1:00:18Mainstream media radio or anything i'd love to hear you in the morning. That's great
- 1:00:23I love that i'd love fun. Yeah, it's it's uh for me it works out a little bit easier because what i've ended up doing is
- 1:00:30it was easy when I did it all out of the house, but
- 1:00:34But going to studio going to the office going to all these places has made it a little bit
- 1:00:41less
- 1:00:43um
- 1:00:44Bearable, you know what I mean?
- 1:00:46But if I go to the studio first and then head to the office from there life is going to be
- 1:00:51Fantastic, you know, that's an easy that's an easy are you in a hotel room a little bit?
- 1:00:55I mean nobody cares about that on the radio, but there you go. No, no
- 1:00:59Are you are you off side? Are you in a hotel room or?
- 1:01:03It doesn't sound like you're right now. I'm actually i'm actually sitting in the front of my truck
- 1:01:09and uh
- 1:01:10Because i'm gonna keep on i'm gonna keep on truck and I I like driving at night and I and I would be driving right now
- 1:01:17But for two things one I got a diesel and it's a little bit loud and two
- 1:01:22I was afraid that if I was driving the uh internet
- 1:01:26On my tablet wouldn't hold out
- 1:01:28And it would you know if you're moving and it would cut me off in the middle
- 1:01:32So I was going to pull over like in a rest area or somewhere, but I was in i'm in memphis and so
- 1:01:39You have a diesel I would have pictured you for like a uh
- 1:01:44A tesla guy, you know, uh, or a you know
- 1:01:48You know environmentally friendly car, but you have a diesel
- 1:01:52Do you know I had a diesel? Do you remember when volkswagen got um got busted for the diesel program?
- 1:02:01I bought a diesel
- 1:02:05Yeah, that's right where they did it was a class action. I bought a diesel
- 1:02:10For it cost me
- 1:02:1136 000 bucks in 2013. I bought a
- 1:02:15tdi passat
- 1:02:17Sel and it got 46 48 miles to the gallon and it was a diesel
- 1:02:24And it was a fantastic car
- 1:02:28You know four-door car sedan very nice and and I loved that car and and then I put
- 1:02:36in um
- 1:02:36So that was 2013 by 2016
- 1:02:40I had put a hundred and ten thousand miles on that thing
- 1:02:45In three years, okay
- 1:02:47Wow, yep, 110 000 miles on that car and then
- 1:02:52The that is when they had the lawsuit
- 1:02:56that um
- 1:02:57That said that they would buy back your car. I still owed I still had
- 1:03:02Like I don't know. I still had like a year's worth of payments left on the thing. I had I bought it on a four-year
- 1:03:09payout
- 1:03:10and I put a decent amount down and you know, but
- 1:03:13The payment was nothing and and and it was but it was I got back
- 1:03:1921 000 bucks and they paid off the note that I had left which was like three six thousand dollars
- 1:03:27It was some some small amount of money that I still owed on it
- 1:03:31But they paid it all off and gave me 21 000
- 1:03:35To buy a new car. They tried to get me to buy a new volkswagen. I didn't but
- 1:03:39That's what they tried to get me to do
- 1:03:42Wasn't that what it was? Yes, whatever it was you no, no, no, no, not this one
- 1:03:46This was settlement of the volkswagen lawsuit because they lied about the diesel
- 1:03:53and and they lied about the emissions and so
- 1:03:56Volkswagen in a class action got ordered to buy back all of these cars
- 1:04:02And and they had to buy back mine, even though it was a hundred thousand miles plus
- 1:04:07I don't know how to still I owed some money. It was a cool car. I loved it
- 1:04:11It still would have gone for another 200, you know easy and a diesel goes forever, you know
- 1:04:18Yeah, sorry to go into a story that had nothing to do with it, but
- 1:04:23I think it's great. So that's what i'm in search of i've got a 1993 ford f-150
- 1:04:30It's got 280 000
- 1:04:32and it keeps up I gotta throw out bearing going out on it right now, but
- 1:04:36That's gonna cost me
- 1:04:38You know, I don't know maybe a thousand bucks
- 1:04:41And then I have got the problem, you know what the property tax on that truck is
- 1:04:46Eight dollars, I don't know but I hate property tax
- 1:04:50I hate property tax. I think
- 1:04:52It's it's the biggest load of crap I ever heard and if you license them in florida
- 1:04:58There's no such animal, you know, you don't you don't pay property tax
- 1:05:03my point is I keep my uh
- 1:05:05My carbon footprint to the lowest possible least common denominator
- 1:05:10So it costs them more it literally
- 1:05:13Costs them more to send out my fucking bill than it does to what I owe them. I mean, that's the case
- 1:05:22That's the true thing I mean I can show you the money
- 1:05:25But anyway, i'm glad you're on tonight. Uh, thanks for letting me call in and i'll look forward to seeing your morning show
- 1:05:32Next week. Yeah, i'm i'm kind of looking forward to the morning show and I hope
- 1:05:37I like it as much as I um have the evening
- 1:05:42But it's either that or build a mini studio in my house again and and not
- 1:05:48Have to go to the studio, you know, but I like going to the studio. It sounds better. It's um
- 1:05:54You know, it's easier to take calls. I mean you you call them in it's been a little bit. Uh,
- 1:06:00Uh, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do it and uh, i'm glad I was and because i'm on i'm on the
- 1:06:08a remote program
- 1:06:10called discord
- 1:06:11um to get into the to my voice so it comes across fairly clean and then you're on the telephone and
- 1:06:20It used to be that if you were on one or the other you couldn't do both and it was a pain in the rear
- 1:06:25And I was afraid i'd screw it all up because I haven't been remote in a while
- 1:06:30And uh, but but I think it came out pretty good. I very much appreciate your call in tonight and uh,
- 1:06:36Thanks for calling and you have a good evening. Happy sunday to you
- 1:06:40You too. Good night. Happy thanksgiving
- 1:06:44Oh, yes, and you as well
- 1:06:46Thanks, bro. Bye
- 1:06:48Bye. Bye
- 1:06:50And there he goes if I can hang him up don't know how to do it
- 1:06:55Or it's it's hard to grab these things on the
- 1:06:59Um, it's a small screen anyway, and I don't have a mouse
- 1:07:02I have a new computer that I was gonna get into use but i'm doing so right now
- 1:07:08I'm doing the show
- 1:07:11the the beauty of the studio just so you know
- 1:07:14Is you have computers screens all around you and you have jr's got tvs everywhere and so
- 1:07:22The computer screens are accessible and you can do a little bit of research and a little bit of follow-up on what you're trying to
- 1:07:31Discuss and you can even do if you are looking for something. Um,
- 1:07:37You can do a little bit of research while you're there or follow your stuff online
- 1:07:43But if you're in your in your truck in a staybridge suites parking lot in memphis, tennessee
- 1:07:50Using your
- 1:07:52uh
- 1:07:53samsung
- 1:07:55Tablet, whatever. This is called samsung something tablet. It's an android tablet
- 1:08:01and your samsung
- 1:08:04S24
- 1:08:06plus pro edition phone
- 1:08:10It's a little more difficult
- 1:08:13And so you know
- 1:08:14And you can only log into one screen at a time or you gotta cut off the old one
- 1:08:19Which makes it a little more on the difficult side. So I appreciate the caller. I appreciate
- 1:08:26the discussion on it
- 1:08:27Um, I wanted to get to because I want to talk about this and I know jr
- 1:08:31I'll probably talk about this tomorrow and i've mentioned him too many times tonight, but i'm sure he will talk about this candace owens
- 1:08:39um
- 1:08:41Says that mccrone has ordered her assassination
- 1:08:45um
- 1:08:46Let's see. So she's the one of course when she claimed that bridgette
- 1:08:51macron
- 1:08:53Is a transgender woman
- 1:08:55um
- 1:08:56Says that macron has authorized her assassination
- 1:09:01She's currently in a legal dispute with the family macron
- 1:09:05After releasing her series
- 1:09:08Becoming bridgette earlier this year
- 1:09:11And in the podcast she alleged that the first lady of france was born
- 1:09:17a merrill
- 1:09:19And is related to french president by blood
- 1:09:24It also claimed that emmanuel macron was involved in cia mind control programs
- 1:09:30Now i've meant to go back and listen to that and I saw parts of it, but never got there
- 1:09:35But in response the macrons filed a defamation suit
- 1:09:39They accused her of spreading
- 1:09:43outlandish
- 1:09:44defamatory and far-fetched fictions
- 1:09:49In a post on x on friday
- 1:09:52Owen said she had been contacted by
- 1:09:55a high-ranking
- 1:09:56Employee of the french government who claimed that the macrons have
- 1:10:03executed upon
- 1:10:04and paid
- 1:10:05for her assassination
- 1:10:08and the assassination of
- 1:10:10french journalist javier
- 1:10:12prosard
- 1:10:13prosard
- 1:10:14Is the former editor of faith documents?
- 1:10:18previously promoted a theory alleging that
- 1:10:22Bridget macron born tronio
- 1:10:24Had died young and that her older brother jean-michel tronio later had a sex change
- 1:10:31And assumed her identity
- 1:10:34before marrying emmanuel macron
- 1:10:38More specifically
- 1:10:39Here's what she wrote
- 1:10:41That the green light was given to a small team in the national gendarmerie intervention group
- 1:10:48I am told there is one israeli on the assassination squad
- 1:10:52And the plans were formalized for her assassination
- 1:10:56She said this is deadly serious the head of state of france apparently wants us both dead
- 1:11:03And has authorized professional units to carry this out
- 1:11:08The identity controversy surrounding the french first lady first surfaced
- 1:11:13in
- 1:11:142021 when someone named amandine roy and journalist natacha ray
- 1:11:21Claimed that she had been born a man
- 1:11:24a french court ruled in macron's favor in 2024
- 1:11:29Before an appeals court overturned that verdict in july
- 1:11:34of
- 1:11:352025
- 1:11:37so
- 1:11:39i'm
- 1:11:40Wondering where this is
- 1:11:43Um, I wanted to uh share with you
- 1:11:47the
- 1:11:48the trumpster's comments
- 1:11:50On zelensky fighting his little heart out. If you didn't remember this, this is pretty damn funny the u.s. President
- 1:11:58Um, let's see has said ukraine
- 1:12:03ukraine's zelensky
- 1:12:05The z-man or the green goblin who's now wearing black. So I suppose when you change into the black goblin
- 1:12:12Uh, he can continue to fight his little heart out should he refuse the proposed peace plan
- 1:12:20Washington presented kiev this week a draft proposal
- 1:12:25To end the conflict and press the ukrainian leadership to accept it by thursday
- 1:12:32Trump made this remark while speaking to reporters at outside the white house saturday
- 1:12:38And the president asked what would happen he was asked what would happen if zelensky refused
- 1:12:43Then he can continue
- 1:12:46To fight his little heart out
- 1:12:49Yes
- 1:12:50um
- 1:12:52Trump's latest statement echoes remarks
- 1:12:54He made on friday when he said that zelensky is going to have to accept something at some point
- 1:13:01trump warned that ukraine is headed into a
- 1:13:04Cold winter that's what i've been saying forever
- 1:13:08While its energy infrastructure sites have been under attack to put it mildly according to trump
- 1:13:16He will have to like
- 1:13:18He will have to like the plan and if he does not like it then, you know
- 1:13:23They should just keep fighting I guess said trump
- 1:13:27according to the media
- 1:13:28Washington threatened kiev with cutting off military aid and u.s intelligence sharing if it rejects
- 1:13:36the peace proposal
- 1:13:39Earlier this year the u.s used the same leverage to press ukraine into accepting trump's rare earths deal
- 1:13:48So that deal is still sitting out there, but we haven't heard anything about it. Have we?
- 1:13:54um
- 1:13:55You know that vance
- 1:13:59um
- 1:14:00Says that ukrainian victory over russia is a fantasy. There are separate stories on that
- 1:14:05He said that more than on one occasion
- 1:14:09um, but now all the european people, you know the backers, uh, this coalition of the willing idiots
- 1:14:17are wanting to uh rewrite the plan
- 1:14:22And uh, let's see
- 1:14:25The eu nations are trying to buy ukraine more time
- 1:14:32And they want to postpone
- 1:14:34the deadline on thursday
- 1:14:37So the approach being taken by these backers tries to rewrite much of the proposed document and conceal the changes
- 1:14:45as
- 1:14:47constructive
- 1:14:48updates
- 1:14:49The source is familiar with this, uh
- 1:14:53effort
- 1:14:54Washington has signaled it is not ready to drastically amend the peace plan that has been drafted
- 1:15:02um
- 1:15:04Ukraine's velensky on friday now this and I remember this but I would I haven't spoken to you since thursday night
- 1:15:12And what he said was on friday that that ukraine is facing
- 1:15:17One of the most difficult moments in our history. He means ukraine's and facing a choice between
- 1:15:25accepting
- 1:15:2628 difficult points or
- 1:15:29Risking losing its key partner and according to media experts washington threatened to cut kiev off
- 1:15:36Asked about zelensky's take on the situation
- 1:15:41Said trump
- 1:15:43Zelensky is going to have to accept something
- 1:15:47Um putin confirmed that moscow has received the plan
- 1:15:52But that the the proposal has not been discussed
- 1:15:55in detail yet
- 1:15:58and the draft proposal
- 1:15:59Could become the basis of a final peace settlement. He stated but what they're doing is europe in europe
- 1:16:06Is calling this a ceasefire
- 1:16:09And that's not going to work and trying to create buffer zones and that's not going to work
- 1:16:15at least not without um
- 1:16:18giving up
- 1:16:19all of donetsk all of lugansk zaporizhia and um
- 1:16:24her son
- 1:16:26And those four oblasts and say and recognizing crimea now
- 1:16:30The plan says that they're going to recognize crimea
- 1:16:33And the donbass which is donetsk and lugansk, but not zaporizhia and her son that those can be
- 1:16:41Negotiated later, which is why a lot of people think this is just a glorified attempt at a ceasefire
- 1:16:50and so there's been talks that um
- 1:16:53That russia won't ever accept this anyway, because it is just a ceasefire
- 1:16:59um
- 1:17:00i'm not
- 1:17:01I'm, not positive if it's going to get anywhere. I think
- 1:17:07um
- 1:17:08that
- 1:17:10Well, there was talk this past week and in fact, I saw in the news this morning and another story that I that I
- 1:17:17read it said that
- 1:17:19the
- 1:17:21uh
- 1:17:21now that a
- 1:17:23is
- 1:17:25the
- 1:17:27legislature of ukraine
- 1:17:28That the verhovna rada has ceased operation
- 1:17:34And that without them
- 1:17:37Zelensky has no power
- 1:17:39Okay that he cannot operate without the verhovna rada
- 1:17:44But a lot of people in the verhovna rada according to this story that I read and I forget where it was
- 1:17:51It was uh, you know like politico or something like that, but it said that
- 1:17:56that the verhovna rada
- 1:17:58Has said that the zelensky
- 1:18:01And his corrupt team
- 1:18:04They don't have authority anymore and the efforts are being taken
- 1:18:10With the us three-letter agencies and stuff like that
- 1:18:14That they're creating another government to step into place and there's some some
- 1:18:22I'm, not saying I know this i'm just saying it was an interesting take on a story that I read this morning
- 1:18:28And then I heard talk about it in another one of the political people that I listened to on a regular basis
- 1:18:36and
- 1:18:37said that
- 1:18:38since the verhovna rada
- 1:18:40Is is shut down. Basically. They say they're not going to operate anymore and the efforts are being
- 1:18:47taken by these three-letter agencies and
- 1:18:51people in the know in ukraine
- 1:18:54To create a
- 1:18:57another
- 1:18:58Government and and you can call it a shadow government. You can call it whatever you want
- 1:19:02but the way I see it is it would be a replacement government and so there's a um,
- 1:19:11Zelensky's
- 1:19:12um
- 1:19:14one of his
- 1:19:17Advisors a very high up in this advisor is actually
- 1:19:21at the
- 1:19:23Conference
- 1:19:24Usha kov. I think it is but I can't remember for sure if that's his name, but I think it's usha kov who is uh,
- 1:19:32Who is there, but I could be mistaken
- 1:19:35That uh, no, no, no, no
- 1:19:36It's andre yermak that yermak is going to be going to talk with rubio
- 1:19:42and with uh, the the team in geneva
- 1:19:45And that he'll be the one negotiating. There's also talk that zeluzny who is the former
- 1:19:51commander, well the general in charge of the armed forces that
- 1:19:57Zelensky kicked out in early 2024
- 1:20:01And replaced with uh,
- 1:20:04Firsky who's the guy that's losing all over the battlefield now and sending all these people to the meat grinder
- 1:20:11Desk that they're going to but zeluzny
- 1:20:14Didn't get he was favored by the u.s
- 1:20:18Especially under the biden era and he was sent to
- 1:20:23britain as britain's
- 1:20:25Uh as ukraine's ambassador to britain
- 1:20:28And so that kept him there and he's been making friends in britain
- 1:20:33And that people seem to think that he's going to be the next qn for who gets to
- 1:20:41be, uh, you know when they when they
- 1:20:44Boot out the z monster and kick him out
- 1:20:48They'll bring in zeluzny instead and zeluzny doesn't like firsky
- 1:20:52So watch for this in the coming months, especially if trump can get this done in his first year
- 1:20:59He might take the effort to get rid of zelensky. Remember the 28-point peace plan includes
- 1:21:08Elections
- 1:21:09Elections within 90 days and somebody has to get an election in 90 days because
- 1:21:15The russians say and so do a lot of other people
- 1:21:18That old zelensky is illegitimate
- 1:21:23And that he can't sign any
- 1:21:27um
- 1:21:28Peace proposal because it's not enforceable
- 1:21:31Because he's not he had to have elections in may of 2024
- 1:21:37And he never did
- 1:21:39And so therefore he's completely illegitimate now. He's a year and a half
- 1:21:43past his date of expiration
- 1:21:46And he's rotten to the core which uh, all of this corruption is, uh,
- 1:21:52Is showing
- 1:21:53and one of the key
- 1:21:56impacts of this, um
- 1:21:5928-point peace plan one of the key impacts of this
- 1:22:04is
- 1:22:04that nobody
- 1:22:07is investigated
- 1:22:09nobody
- 1:22:10is charged with a crime and
- 1:22:13And I mean on either side and that includes
- 1:22:17all of the war profiteers
- 1:22:19in um
- 1:22:21ukraine
- 1:22:22that have
- 1:22:24milked
- 1:22:25the the us money the um
- 1:22:29european money
- 1:22:30in fact
- 1:22:31The ukrainian money they have stuck it all dry. They've bled ukraine dry
- 1:22:38They've killed off
- 1:22:39uh, you know
- 1:22:41million and a half
- 1:22:42men
- 1:22:44They've lost 10 to 15 million people who who migrated out of the country
- 1:22:51And they've destroyed
- 1:22:54much of their industrial
- 1:22:56And resources
- 1:22:58base
- 1:23:00And they're they're in a world of hurt. And so how do you get this?
- 1:23:04fixed
- 1:23:05You let everybody who got rich and broke the law and stole all this money. You let them all off the hook
- 1:23:14Treaty in a treaty and you go no and then and zelensky can move if you believe in the fact that he bought
- 1:23:20All these houses there have been at least three stories probably more like five or six that say his his wife
- 1:23:27um
- 1:23:29zelenskava or zelenska
- 1:23:31Depending because in in russian you end the woman's name with an a and the men's is uh is is not
- 1:23:38And so him being zelensky her would be zelenska
- 1:23:42Um zelenska. Yeah, and he's zelensky. And so
- 1:23:45Uh at any rate his wife is allegedly has allegedly bought a villa in france
- 1:23:53something in paris
- 1:23:54something on uh, uh an island in the in the mediterranean or caribbean, I don't remember which
- 1:24:01and a small castle in england
- 1:24:04Now a lot of people say that's all fake news and you don't believe it, but they've certainly pocketed a butt ton of money
- 1:24:12um as
- 1:24:13Have zelenska have the zelensky and the zelensky's both of them
- 1:24:19and uh
- 1:24:20so has
- 1:24:22Everybody else associated with this war, you know
- 1:24:26When when trump talks about putting a hundred billion in a fund and and then matching it
- 1:24:34European funds and have 200 billion to rebuild ukraine
- 1:24:39It makes me want to get a crew of people
- 1:24:43and go over there to
- 1:24:45but
- 1:24:46I don't know that i'd be allowed because some ukrainian had knifed me in the street because I haven't just blindly pumped
- 1:24:55You know, um pro-ukrainian stuff
- 1:24:58And or anti-russian stuff and so, you know
- 1:25:03It's it's unfortunate
- 1:25:05That that i'd be afraid to go there because ukraine is a beautiful country
- 1:25:10I hear and the people are certainly just as fantastic as the russians in most cases
- 1:25:17although
- 1:25:19uh
- 1:25:20there are some uh
- 1:25:22Some scary parts to that that i'd prefer not to be a part of and uh, but
- 1:25:28I I would like to go over there. I'd like to participate in that stuff. I think it'd be fun
- 1:25:33Go report from there and maybe do some uh, do some uh
- 1:25:40Shows from there. I'm all for that
- 1:25:43And uh, and i'd love to do it. So I may
- 1:25:46Uh try to make that effort. Um, whenever it gets done, but I think I would rather go over to the russian side
- 1:25:53Which will be in the donbass donetsk lugansk. Maybe zaporizhia maybe crimea, which would be fantastic
- 1:26:00so I also heard a whole bunch today about
- 1:26:04turkey
- 1:26:04pushing hard for this 28 point plan
- 1:26:08because they
- 1:26:10Want to stop the war before russia takes odessa
- 1:26:16Because then russia and not that not any nato countries except bulgaria would be uh in any way
- 1:26:24Or romania down there. No, I can't remember which one touched the black sea below odessa
- 1:26:29Sorry about my geography lessons being off today. I think it's bulgaria, but I don't remember
- 1:26:35and uh
- 1:26:36But if russia takes odessa
- 1:26:39Ukraine would be cut off from the black sea and allegedly
- 1:26:42Uh turkey doesn't want that because then russia would be in charge of literally the entire
- 1:26:49northern half of the black sea
- 1:26:52and would control all shipping into and out of there and that a lot of people would not be
- 1:27:01in favor of according to uh
- 1:27:05Certain commentators in the last uh couple of days that i've been listening to and it does make sense
- 1:27:12that uh, um
- 1:27:15That turkey would want that
- 1:27:18and uh, let's see
- 1:27:21Um, where did we go?
- 1:27:24Um andre yermak. I was talking to you about him on the graft scandal
- 1:27:28Andre yermak is the omnipotent chief of staff
- 1:27:33Has been implicated as well in the hundred million graft scheme
- 1:27:38and
- 1:27:39this 53 year old
- 1:27:42Is now in the crosshairs of this extortion probe
- 1:27:46And he is described as ukraine's real power broker with long-standing
- 1:27:53ties
- 1:27:54to
- 1:27:56Zelensky and he was a former entertainment lawyer and film producer. He was
- 1:28:02Uh acquainted with zelensky when he was uh on ukrainian
- 1:28:06tv
- 1:28:08and uh, he worked on zelensky's election team
- 1:28:13following uh zelensky's election yermak
- 1:28:16Joined the administration as an entertainment, uh lawyer. I'm sure he's qualified
- 1:28:22But he became the presidential aide for foreign policy and acted as keith's representative in
- 1:28:29informal diplomatic endeavors
- 1:28:32And uh, is he really the true leader of ukraine?
- 1:28:35Nobody knows but a lot of people say he is and he's the real power behind the uh,
- 1:28:42behind the scene and now
- 1:28:43naboo
- 1:28:44That anti-corruption bureau
- 1:28:47Is uh claiming that he is involved
- 1:28:50Um, so the alleged involvement of yermak in the energo adam graft affair
- 1:28:56um
- 1:28:57It means many in ukraine have demanded his dismissal
- 1:29:01Um zelensky is said to have refused to dismiss him
- 1:29:06When the issue was brought up during closed-door meetings with mps from his party on thursday
- 1:29:13according to opposition mp oleg
- 1:29:16Stay
- 1:29:17Gon cherenko the dissenting member of servant of the people
- 1:29:21Issued an ultimatum to zelensky and demanded yermak's dismissal
- 1:29:26Or promised to quit the party which nobody has done so far
- 1:29:33All right, we're gonna see if I can figure this out
- 1:29:37how to uh
- 1:29:39Exit the show properly if I can do that
