April Fool’s Day, NATO Drift, Drone Warfare, Iran Reality, and the Long Unraveling of Western Power · International Flavor: Where the Truth Tastes Better

• 0:00
  Hello, good morning, welcome.
• 0:02
  I am Samuel Trapp.
• 0:04
  Tell you what, I've been pondering.
• 0:06
  Ponderances, what a wonderful thing they are.
• 0:10
  When you sit around and just ponder, why
• 0:12
  is it so?
• 0:13
  Why is it like this?
• 0:14
  What in the world is going on?
• 0:17
  So I'm a questioner.
• 0:18
  I, many years ago, when I first started
• 0:21
  doing radio things, I had a radio show.
• 0:29
  It was really stupid, but I had a
• 0:31
  radio show.
• 0:32
  It wasn't stupid.
• 0:33
  It was a lot of fun, but I
• 0:34
  had a radio show on a local radio
• 0:37
  station, Karamess, and I paid for it.
• 0:40
  I had an hour, I don't know, an
• 0:42
  hour and a half.
• 0:43
  Sometimes I did two hours.
• 0:44
  A couple of times I did.
• 0:45
  One of the most fun things that I
• 0:47
  did was I went to, oh, what's the
• 0:52
  name of that?
• 0:53
  Was it, was it, it was, I don't
• 0:57
  know, one of the restaurants around here.
• 0:59
  They used to have a really cool one.
• 1:00
  JG had one down on Strip Guy, a
• 1:02
  guy, a restaurant tour down here, a really
• 1:04
  cool guy, and he had a place called
• 1:07
  Bootleggers down on 54, and I used to
• 1:12
  go in there all the time.
• 1:12
  I still got my bootlegger mugs.
• 1:15
  You'd buy a different mug every year.
• 1:17
  That's a hell of a good idea, and
• 1:18
  I liked that idea.
• 1:19
  Where you get to go buy, buy mugs,
• 1:21
  and well, I'm advertising for a restaurant that
• 1:24
  doesn't even exist anymore, but Bootleggers, what it
• 1:27
  was called, is pretty cool, and you go
• 1:28
  in and get your mug, and you're part
• 1:29
  of the mug club, but I pondered things
• 1:32
  way back then.
• 1:33
  I would ponder, and I started, you know,
• 1:35
  started sharing my ponderances on a show I
• 1:38
  called Question Everything, and Question Everything is my
• 1:41
  program.
• 1:42
  It's still out there.
• 1:42
  You can find a bunch of them.
• 1:44
  I think my international flavor website, you can
• 1:50
  go out and find those, so I ponder
• 1:52
  a lot, and I talk a lot, obviously,
• 1:55
  so I had some ponderances over the evening,
• 2:00
  and I'm concerned, you know, rules.
• 2:03
  What about the rules?
• 2:04
  Are there rules?
• 2:05
  Do we even have rules anymore?
• 2:07
  Do they exist if you're an American president,
• 2:11
  or anybody that wants to just go and
• 2:14
  steal things from other people, or whether you
• 2:16
  want to start rules, say this is what
• 2:19
  they are, and then not follow them yourself
• 2:22
  because you're the one that made them.
• 2:25
  You don't have to follow them.
• 2:28
  Because we don't have to wear no stinking
• 2:31
  badges if we don't want to wear any
• 2:33
  badges, but you can make everybody else wear
• 2:36
  a badge, and that is our government in
• 2:39
  a nutshell.
• 2:41
  Today is Wednesday, so we're gonna be doing
• 2:43
  the greatest day in radio.
• 2:46
  Comes to you today.
• 2:48
  Am I right?
• 2:48
  Am I even on the right day?
• 2:50
  Let's make sure that I am.
• 2:51
  Yep, it's Wednesday.
• 2:52
  All right, and so I pondered, like all
• 2:56
  night, I'm pondering, and now I want to
• 2:59
  give you a point of view, right?
• 3:01
  So many of you, you may or may
• 3:04
  not know this, but Russia's been getting bombed
• 3:07
  by Ukraine, okay?
• 3:09
  Russia's been getting droned by Ukraine, deep in
• 3:13
  the territory of Russia.
• 3:14
  A year and a half ago, there was
• 3:16
  a great story about how Ukraine, you know,
• 3:18
  snuck a load of drones into a truck,
• 3:21
  and then the top, like James Bond, the
• 3:24
  top of the truck came off.
• 3:27
  There was a video of it on YouTube
• 3:28
  for a while, and well, not just YouTube,
• 3:32
  but other places too, and the top of
• 3:36
  the container that they were housed in rolled
• 3:39
  back, and these drones took off straight from
• 3:42
  the top of the, from the top of
• 3:46
  this container, and they flew into the container,
• 3:50
  and that's how they blew up or attacked
• 3:52
  all these airplanes on airstrips in different places
• 3:55
  located inside of Russia, deep inside of Russia.
• 3:58
  They were able to do that, and that
• 4:01
  was in the news for a while because
• 4:02
  it was something cool, and you know, but
• 4:06
  normally a drone, you know, unless it's got
• 4:09
  nuclear power, which Russia has some of those,
• 4:11
  which is like a missile, Russia has some
• 4:13
  nuclear-powered missiles that are loitering missiles that
• 4:17
  will go up, you can shoot them, they
• 4:20
  loiter, they investigate, and then this thing can
• 4:24
  go, I can't remember the exact, I want
• 4:27
  to say 9,000 kilometers, and that's like
• 4:31
  half the globe, right, that you, that this
• 4:33
  thing can go and loiter, and since it's
• 4:36
  nuclear-powered, it can loiter nearly forever, and
• 4:40
  where could you loiter?
• 4:41
  You could loiter off the coast to wherever
• 4:43
  you want to go, right?
• 4:44
  And so there's some interesting things going on
• 4:47
  in this, in this new war of the
• 4:50
  worlds that are coming up, and in America,
• 4:52
  truly, we're, we're, now, obviously, I used to
• 4:56
  have a, well, not obviously, but I, but
• 4:58
  I used to have a what do you
• 5:02
  call it, top-secret clearance, with special access,
• 5:06
  you know, special compartmented access is what they
• 5:08
  called it, because I got all the satellite
• 5:09
  stuff, I got to hear transmissions that were
• 5:12
  bounced from one station to another station, to
• 5:16
  the station where I was working, and I
• 5:18
  got to listen to Russian live tanker traffic
• 5:22
  operations they were conducting in Siberia, and you'd
• 5:25
  tell them what you were doing, right, you'd
• 5:27
  listen to what they were doing, and none
• 5:30
  of that's classified anymore, everybody's doing it, but
• 5:32
  way back when, that was a big deal,
• 5:36
  trying to get it, but, you know, now
• 5:39
  it's probably second nature that people are getting
• 5:42
  it, you know, you're bouncing them off of
• 5:43
  Elon Musk satellites, anyway, these loitering missiles get
• 5:48
  up there, and they loiter, and so you're
• 5:51
  just hanging out, oh, good thing they don't
• 5:53
  get a ticket, good thing there aren't any
• 5:55
  police hanging about, you know, you cannot loiter,
• 5:57
  you're not staying here, you can go home,
• 6:00
  you can go anywhere else, you just can't
• 6:02
  stay here, because that's called loitering, at least
• 6:05
  walk, go somewhere with a purpose, maybe if
• 6:07
  the missile circled, maybe we could do that,
• 6:10
  but they are direction of, you can find
• 6:12
  them too, and by the way, they do
• 6:13
  this underwater too, they have missiles that go
• 6:17
  underwater, loiter, and then decide whether they're gonna
• 6:20
  blow somebody up, so it's a nasty, nasty
• 6:24
  world out there that we live in, folks,
• 6:26
  and I believe Russia is way ahead of
• 6:28
  us, in this game, but since I no
• 6:30
  longer have a top secret US government clearance,
• 6:33
  I don't have access to that data, and
• 6:35
  what they do anymore, right, it's because I
• 6:36
  have no clue, but used to be, it
• 6:39
  was pretty cool, I worked at the Nevada
• 6:40
  nuclear test site, I work with nuclear weaponing,
• 6:42
  and I'm probably irradiated, and they never figure
• 6:45
  that part out, I can't get any of
• 6:46
  the records, we're gonna do the freedom information
• 6:48
  on that, anyway, on with the babbling story
• 6:51
  of why this is important, okay, at least
• 6:53
  to me, and why I pondered about it
• 6:55
  all night, and now you're stuck listening to
• 6:58
  my ponderances, listen, I thought about this because
• 7:02
  drones are also evolving, what is going on
• 7:07
  between Iran, United States, is not gonna end
• 7:11
  well, okay, not for us, we're too far
• 7:13
  away, yesterday, Trump said something like, you know
• 7:16
  what, you're on your own, you're on your
• 7:18
  own, Europe, I don't give a shit whether
• 7:20
  you get any money through the Straits of
• 7:21
  Hormuz or not, I don't care whether we
• 7:24
  call it Trump Strait or anything, because we
• 7:26
  don't get our oil from there anymore, we
• 7:29
  can take care of ourselves, now that's a
• 7:31
  great statement, right, Europe, you wanna do something,
• 7:34
  you go down there, and Trump finally came
• 7:36
  clean with this on a, what do you
• 7:39
  call it, a video I saw of him
• 7:41
  last night, and he said, you know, what
• 7:43
  are you gonna do in the Straits of
• 7:44
  Hormuz, and this is pondering, he's pondering, okay,
• 7:48
  so he's thinking about it too, you wanna
• 7:49
  know whether I've been right for the last
• 7:51
  couple of weeks discussing why we're never gonna
• 7:54
  win in Iran, this is a tell by
• 7:58
  the President right now, he says, we don't
• 8:00
  need the Straits of Hormuz, listen, people could
• 8:02
  mine that thing, okay, finally somebody with half
• 8:05
  a brain from the Pentagon told him, you're
• 8:08
  in something you cannot win, you're in something
• 8:10
  that you're never going to hold the Straits
• 8:14
  of Hormuz, because guess what, Iran can blow
• 8:18
  it all up, Iran can do what they
• 8:20
  want, regroup, rethink, politically do some diplomacy here,
• 8:26
  and get the freaking thing over it, okay,
• 8:29
  get it done, and oh my God, now
• 8:33
  we have on the TV screen, this is
• 8:35
  irritating, well, it's really not, but Usha Vance
• 8:37
  on her disagreements with J.D., well, I
• 8:41
  don't know, I guess that's why, because people
• 8:43
  ponder, anyway, the missiles hitting, and think about
• 8:47
  this, Russia, a big deal in Russia right
• 8:49
  now, and you know, it's a big deal
• 8:50
  for us too, because this could happen to
• 8:52
  us, this is, you know, this is Iran,
• 8:54
  this is technology, by the way, all of
• 8:56
  them are working together, and Ukraine is what
• 8:58
  they're doing, is they are droning, they are
• 9:02
  droning into St. Petersburg, Russia, St. Petersburg, Russia
• 9:07
  is on the Baltic Sea, or very close
• 9:08
  there too, has an inland port, it's got
• 9:11
  all kinds of stuff, it's got oil facilities,
• 9:13
  it's got everything, so over the last week
• 9:14
  or two, they've been, you know, bombing and
• 9:17
  trying to take out some serious stuff, and
• 9:19
  Ukraine is going around having these drones go
• 9:22
  in and blow up the oil infrastructure, the
• 9:25
  gas infrastructure, all the stuff where Russia is
• 9:27
  now getting fabulously wealthy, because the Straits of
• 9:29
  Hormuz are closed, right, and then Russia is
• 9:32
  no longer under sanctions, or any of that
• 9:34
  other stuff, because of that, that's why they
• 9:36
  had to open it, Iran isn't even under
• 9:38
  sanctions, when it comes to oil, they can
• 9:40
  send out much oil, say what, and because
• 9:42
  it has to come through there, and Trump's
• 9:44
  trying to keep the price of oil low,
• 9:46
  because that's more important to him, than whether
• 9:48
  or not we hold the Straits of Hormuz,
• 9:50
  that's the point, and so he's finally admitting
• 9:53
  that this is the case, in Europe, you
• 9:54
  want to hold the Straits of Hormuz, because
• 9:56
  90% of your oil does come from
• 9:58
  there, then you go there, but we got
• 9:59
  plenty of oil in our homeland, why in
• 10:01
  the world are we sending people to die,
• 10:03
  in a country we don't care about, in
• 10:05
  a region no one could identify on a
• 10:06
  map, if they don't know, in America anyway,
• 10:09
  if you didn't know what the hell you
• 10:11
  were talking about, how many of you have
• 10:13
  ever heard of the Straits of Hormuz, before
• 10:15
  it started becoming an issue, not very many,
• 10:19
  you know, you turn that into an issue,
• 10:21
  you don't know that that's where it goes,
• 10:23
  unless you listen to International Flavor, because for
• 10:25
  two years, I've been telling you, that the
• 10:27
  oil, and how China is creating paths through
• 10:30
  Iran, by the way, through rail too, because
• 10:34
  they experienced the other way, on the south
• 10:36
  part of Iran, before you get to the
• 10:39
  Straits of Hormuz, is where China was spending
• 10:42
  money to build a huge port for Iran,
• 10:47
  bring it in, and then they were building
• 10:49
  a railroad to go north, so they could
• 10:51
  avoid what, the Suez Canal, and they could
• 10:54
  get everything up to the Mediterranean, and get
• 10:57
  things into Europe, that direction, that is what
• 11:00
  we are fighting, it's not anything about nuclear
• 11:03
  stuff, this is all about power, gas, infrastructure,
• 11:07
  period, end of sentence, and this is why
• 11:10
  it's happening.
• 11:11
  So, now that I've told you that, these
• 11:13
  drones that come up, and you, what do
• 11:16
  you call it, Iran has a butt-ton
• 11:17
  of drones as well, and what they're doing
• 11:20
  is droning, they're beating the crap out of
• 11:22
  our bases in the Middle East, which we
• 11:23
  don't need to be sitting there anyway, and
• 11:25
  we need to get our soldiers out of
• 11:27
  there, why in the world are we thinking
• 11:28
  of sending another 10 to 15,000 into
• 11:30
  Iran, so they can just die, that's a
• 11:33
  great thing, you know, that does, that's no
• 11:35
  support for me, that is not a peace
• 11:37
  president, and especially not for these reasons, we
• 11:41
  don't need their oil, if we needed it,
• 11:43
  it'd be different, controlling it, that's a different
• 11:45
  issue, you want to control the world, do
• 11:47
  it through valid diplomacy, people will respect you
• 11:50
  a lot more, I disrespect this, I respected
• 11:53
  him when he was the dealmaker, it's not
• 11:55
  that I don't respect him, it's the wrong
• 11:57
  word, I don't respect this decision, this is
• 11:59
  a bullshit, stupid, idiotic decision, okay, and people
• 12:03
  make those in life, I get it, I've
• 12:05
  made my share, it's Trump's turn, now pay
• 12:08
  the piper, the piper is the Americans are
• 12:10
  sick of this, and we don't want to
• 12:12
  see it anymore, and then we, guess what,
• 12:14
  we'll go right back to saying what Samuel
• 12:15
  Edward von Trapp, the first has been saying
• 12:19
  forever, I support you, literally, 70, 80 percent,
• 12:24
  when we are discussing America inside the border,
• 12:29
  you know, I don't, they're not so positive
• 12:30
  on the ice things, and turning the ice
• 12:33
  into another strain of military police, you know,
• 12:36
  that is at the direct discretion of the
• 12:40
  president, I don't like that, but I can
• 12:43
  live with that, because the the overlying motives
• 12:46
  behind it, I get, so drones are a
• 12:49
  fact of life, killing people are a fact
• 12:52
  of life, the way that countries are doing
• 12:53
  it, America's finding out right now that the
• 12:56
  level playing field is no longer sloped, so
• 13:01
  that it's, they can just, you know, coast
• 13:03
  in, we can't coast in anymore, you gotta
• 13:06
  think about it, and nobody's thought about this,
• 13:10
  we have morons running, fools and idiots sitting
• 13:13
  on the trigger, and that's why, that's, I
• 13:16
  was about to quote a Monty Python, but
• 13:18
  I won't, so now Russia is all pissed
• 13:21
  off and up in arms, and they should
• 13:22
  be, because of the dual standard that comes
• 13:25
  along, okay, the dual standard is this, the
• 13:28
  intelligence that Ukraine gets, and the help that
• 13:32
  they get from NATO, really mean that NATO
• 13:36
  and the U.S. by extension, have been
• 13:38
  fighting for Ukraine for many years, but especially
• 13:43
  since 2022, we are the ones who funded
• 13:46
  it, so now, intelligence from America, our military
• 13:51
  intelligence is going to Ukraine, okay, so that
• 13:56
  Ukraine can target appropriately places deep inside of
• 14:00
  Russia, because guess what, Ukraine doesn't have any
• 14:04
  satellites up there that they can spy and
• 14:06
  get all that stuff, that information comes either
• 14:11
  directly from the U.S. or from the
• 14:14
  U.S. military intelligence, through the people we
• 14:18
  share it with in NATO, and somebody funnels
• 14:20
  it to Ukraine, now, people are pissy right
• 14:24
  now, because oh geez, Russia's providing intelligence to
• 14:27
  Iran, and they're bombing our stuff, well, I'm
• 14:31
  not for it, but turnabout is fair play,
• 14:33
  is it not, oh geez, we're supposed to
• 14:36
  beat up on China and Russia, because they're
• 14:38
  providing military intelligence to one of their allies,
• 14:41
  Iran, America, when we feel like it, we
• 14:46
  keep beating around the bush on this end,
• 14:49
  we provide military intelligence and 80% or
• 14:53
  more, probably 90 something, that is carrying NATO,
• 14:59
  NATO then gives that away to whoever they
• 15:01
  want, they slide it into Ukraine, so Ukraine
• 15:03
  can use target missiles, do stuff like that,
• 15:07
  right, but now, it's gotten the next level,
• 15:10
  we're always one-upping, so what do they
• 15:12
  do now, you cannot get to, well, I
• 15:15
  don't want to say cannot, but it's extremely
• 15:17
  difficult to get past Russia's air defense systems,
• 15:20
  if you got to fly all the way
• 15:23
  from the border of Ukraine, down in Sumy
• 15:25
  or down near Belgrade, on the Russian side,
• 15:28
  and you got to fly your drone up
• 15:31
  through Russia, however many miles that is, it's
• 15:34
  probably, I don't want to misquote, it's a
• 15:38
  hell of a hike, I know a train
• 15:40
  trip's going to take you 8 to 10
• 15:41
  hours, okay, and by train, that's to Moscow
• 15:44
  from that border, and then you got another
• 15:46
  however many hours you got to get there,
• 15:49
  I've not done that trip yet before, or
• 15:51
  yet, I plan to, I really want to,
• 15:54
  I want to take the Orient Express actually,
• 15:56
  and sit on the train for God knows
• 15:58
  how long, I'd say it takes about a
• 15:59
  week, anyway, these drones got to fly up
• 16:03
  through a huge portion of Russia in order
• 16:06
  to get there, and they won't survive Russia's
• 16:08
  air defense, they just, some of them do,
• 16:12
  but that's because they swarm, you know, you
• 16:14
  send in the swarm of 80 drones, and
• 16:16
  they only end up taking out 70, Russia's
• 16:19
  been doing the same in the other direction,
• 16:21
  and beating the snot out of everything in,
• 16:24
  on the Kiev side, right, or Ukraine side,
• 16:27
  anyway, that is what's happening, however, over the
• 16:31
  last couple of weeks, so in order for
• 16:33
  Ukraine to get directly there, they'd have to
• 16:35
  fly over where?
• 16:38
  Belarus, Belarus, okay, you have to fly over
• 16:40
  Belarus, and that's not going to happen, because
• 16:42
  Russian troops are all along the southern border
• 16:44
  of Belarus, stationed organically with Ukraine's forces, and
• 16:50
  that is where Russia's building the buffer, Russia's
• 16:53
  been starting to build things inside of Belarus,
• 16:57
  because they're partners in you can get directly
• 17:00
  to Kiev, it's not far, you know, it's
• 17:05
  a one hour train ride, that you can
• 17:07
  get from there, from Belarus into Kiev, but
• 17:10
  you can't get to St. Petersburg without going
• 17:13
  around Belarus, and through Russia for a long
• 17:17
  distance, so what have they been doing?
• 17:19
  They've been flying drones, either from, directly from
• 17:24
  the land of Finland, Finland, Finland, the country
• 17:29
  where I'd like to be, eating breakfast or
• 17:32
  dinner, or snack lunch in the hall, Finland
• 17:35
  has it all, and that was stolen from
• 17:38
  Money Python, okay, it's a song called Finland,
• 17:41
  Finland, Finland, and you should look it up,
• 17:44
  hell, maybe I'll look it up, because they
• 17:46
  sing it a lot better than I do,
• 17:47
  so the bitching is going on about the
• 17:50
  fact, the fact that Finland is allowing these
• 17:56
  drones to either fly over, or be launched
• 18:00
  from their territory, as are Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania,
• 18:04
  the Baltic states, have zero military at all,
• 18:07
  but a strong hatred for Russia, and it's
• 18:10
  apparent everywhere you go, when you're in one
• 18:14
  of those countries, and I always wanted to
• 18:16
  go there, because I heard that they were
• 18:18
  the best, they were the beautiful, they're sitting
• 18:19
  right on the Baltic sea, it's fantastic, the
• 18:21
  people are assholes, so far, they're all, they
• 18:26
  hate everyone equally, and so, the bitching is
• 18:29
  going on, that oh, jeez, Ukraine is able
• 18:32
  to fly these drones, either straight from Latvia,
• 18:34
  Lithuania, Estonia, or through Finland, and Finland, you
• 18:39
  can get extremely close to St. Petersburg, and
• 18:42
  bomb from Finland, but that's a NATO country,
• 18:44
  so we have, yesterday, we had France, Spain,
• 18:49
  most importantly, Italy, and one other, say that
• 18:51
  the US, the airspace is closed over there,
• 18:54
  top of theirs, they can't even fly airplanes
• 18:56
  over there, meanwhile, NATO countries, like Finland, are
• 19:00
  opening to allow these drones to come through
• 19:04
  their sites, is that the next step of
• 19:06
  war, so yesterday, they were quizzing in an
• 19:09
  interview, whether or not Finland knew this, right,
• 19:13
  and when the official representatives of Finland say
• 19:16
  they didn't shoot down the drones, but they
• 19:19
  knew they were there, because the drones did
• 19:21
  not pose a threat to them, how do
• 19:24
  you think they knew that?
• 19:26
  Seriously, how do you think that they knew
• 19:28
  the drones were there?
• 19:29
  Because they knew about it, and they agreed
• 19:32
  with it, now, who agreed with it?
• 19:34
  Does this mean that the NATO headquarters gave
• 19:37
  permission to use the airspace of NATO, or
• 19:40
  was it just Finland, said you have the
• 19:42
  permission to use Finnish airspace, not NATO airspace,
• 19:45
  well, we see from what Trump is saying,
• 19:47
  it's normally gotta be the country itself, right,
• 19:50
  this means, contrary to Trump's will, some specific
• 19:55
  military decided to personally start a NATO war
• 20:00
  with Russia, because Trump and company said, nope,
• 20:05
  you can't use our intelligence to go into
• 20:09
  Russia, you can't use our missile launch systems
• 20:13
  programmed by us to use the HIMARS, to
• 20:16
  use the Tomahawk, this was the big Tomahawk
• 20:18
  dispute, remember, you can't do this, because this
• 20:23
  would mean the US is engaging in a
• 20:25
  war with Russia, and so far, we've been
• 20:28
  sneaky about it, we sell, well, we haven't,
• 20:31
  I mean, we've been open sneaky, but what
• 20:33
  we've done is we've politicized it and justified
• 20:36
  it by saying, no, no, no, we don't
• 20:40
  use our intelligence, we give them the intelligence,
• 20:42
  but you can't use our missile to do
• 20:44
  it, you wanna make your own drones, Ukraine,
• 20:46
  and you are intelligence, those drones, even though
• 20:48
  it's not instant, and today, you can have
• 20:51
  pictures of it, we'll gladly send them to
• 20:53
  you, but either NATO itself, or worse, well,
• 20:58
  or Finland, a NATO member, or Estonia, Latvia,
• 21:02
  Lithuania, is allowing these drones to come in
• 21:04
  and attack Russia, right, so this is serious,
• 21:06
  by and large, this means that NATO officers
• 21:08
  can be accused of what, treason, if they're
• 21:12
  giving this stuff, if it's a NATO officer,
• 21:15
  and the officers know that they can't give
• 21:17
  this intelligence to use that, but they're doing
• 21:18
  it anyway, this is wrong, this could be
• 21:20
  a betrayal of America, right, but indirectly, right,
• 21:24
  and it is not by chance that Trump
• 21:27
  said, you don't wanna help us in Iran,
• 21:30
  we will not help you by military means,
• 21:34
  inside of, you know, the Straits of Hormuz,
• 21:37
  we're not gonna do this, what does this
• 21:38
  mean?
• 21:39
  This, no, this means that if Trump, who
• 21:43
  isn't allowing this from the NATO side, and
• 21:45
  has said, screw you guys, you're not helping
• 21:47
  us in the Hormuz, there's a lot of
• 21:49
  talk that NATO's done, NATO, that it's over,
• 21:51
  that NATO is finished, and America is withdrawing,
• 21:55
  right, when this would mean that all of
• 21:57
  Europe, the EU, is one-on-one against
• 21:59
  Russia, Russia's fine with that, the EU appears
• 22:02
  to be fine with that, because the more
• 22:04
  they divide, and say, nope, nope, nope, no
• 22:08
  more US, and by the way, Canada is
• 22:10
  strengthening the same relationships for their own side
• 22:14
  of NATO, that they are doing it, now
• 22:16
  that would be a, that's truly North Atlantic
• 22:19
  alliance, wouldn't it be, to take them out,
• 22:22
  they're against Trump, coming in, you're not stealing
• 22:24
  Finland, I mean, I'm sorry, you're not stealing
• 22:27
  Greenland from us, that ain't happening, you know,
• 22:30
  hell, that might be Canada-lite, but it's
• 22:32
  not USA-lite, that's not what they're saying,
• 22:35
  but the ties between the European goons are
• 22:39
  a lot stronger than they used to be,
• 22:41
  right, so let's let you remember this, the
• 22:44
  Baltic states themselves have no air defense, okay,
• 22:48
  they have no real troops, they have no
• 22:51
  troops at all, the Baltics haven't, you know,
• 22:54
  have, you know, a lot of people, a
• 22:57
  lot of cool people, a lot of, except
• 22:58
  for their hatred of things they don't understand,
• 23:01
  and in another country like Russia, they claim
• 23:04
  we don't understand, they've ignored and cut off
• 23:06
  Russia, and they have a generation of people
• 23:08
  who know nothing about the Soviet Union, what
• 23:11
  that happened about history at all, even in
• 23:14
  their own beautiful country, if they don't, because
• 23:17
  the hatred that they give to another place
• 23:19
  that was associated with them, because they didn't
• 23:22
  like Stalin, I got news for you, they
• 23:23
  didn't like Stalin or Russia, most of them,
• 23:26
  okay, and, you know, there's nothing there, there
• 23:29
  are no warriors in the Baltic states, there
• 23:32
  are no warriors in Finland that are going
• 23:35
  to come and directly go to war, but
• 23:37
  there are punishers, there are sneaky people who
• 23:39
  will say, please come in and launch your
• 23:42
  drones from here, why?
• 23:44
  Because we hate Russia, and if you want
• 23:46
  to keep doing it, but then, you know,
• 23:48
  we know about it, it doesn't pose a
• 23:50
  threat to us, okay?
• 23:53
  Nonsense, they, I don't think, but this is
• 23:56
  modern warfare these days, this isn't no longer
• 24:00
  we're putting 100,000 troops on the, by
• 24:02
  the way, it's a very rainy day today,
• 24:04
  pretty cool, I like rain, and I just
• 24:06
  heard some thunder, maybe heard it in through
• 24:08
  the, through the, it's pretty cool, it's a
• 24:11
  nice storm, anyway, if the playing field is
• 24:15
  kind of leveled, you can have these geek
• 24:19
  kids throw uniforms on them, sit them in,
• 24:23
  and let them play video game war, that's
• 24:25
  the, this is the reality of war these
• 24:27
  days, you can have a loitering nuclear weapon
• 24:30
  hang about 50 miles off the, well, you
• 24:32
  got to go 200 miles off the east
• 24:34
  coast of America, and you could loiter up
• 24:36
  there, or loiter underwater, probably within less distance,
• 24:40
  and you can have that sit there for
• 24:45
  a while, and you can do that with
• 24:47
  many, many things, and so, Zelensky is peddling
• 24:50
  his, what they have learned about this process,
• 24:54
  peddling it to Qatar, peddling it to the
• 24:57
  UAE, and to Saudi Arabia, that's what he's
• 25:01
  there selling, to try to get oil, because
• 25:03
  it's, he doesn't have any, trying to get
• 25:06
  natural gas, because he doesn't have any, all
• 25:12
  right, so, I'm going to continue in that
• 25:15
  vein here, holy crap, I went a little
• 25:19
  bit over where I was going to go,
• 25:20
  sorry for that, I ad-libbed and threw
• 25:22
  a little bit extra in there, which is
• 25:24
  all good, but I want to get to
• 25:26
  something else that I'm going to play for
• 25:29
  you, because I enjoy this also, so, we're
• 25:34
  going to get, we're not going to listen
• 25:35
  to Asparagus, which was beginning to play, we're
• 25:39
  going to listen to, I would have swore
• 25:43
  I had this, I do, and so, I've
• 25:46
  played this for you before, everybody knows I
• 25:48
  like Russian music, and this is Irina Krug
• 25:53
  and Alexey Bryantsev that we're going to listen
• 25:56
  to, whilst I prepare for the next portion
• 25:59
  of information for you.
• 29:07
  Oh, yes!
• 29:36
  I will not sing that song for you,
• 29:43
  although it's a pretty cool song, and I
• 29:45
  do enjoy it, obviously, so, I've played that
• 29:47
  for you before, and it's really cool, that's
• 29:49
  Irina Krug and Alexey Bryantsev, very popular, at
• 29:56
  least it was, in Russia, several years ago,
• 29:59
  it came out, and Irina Krug, Alexey Bryantsev,
• 30:02
  very nice, very nice, let us continue on
• 30:05
  the NATO theme, because here's what's going on,
• 30:08
  we've seen these things on these attacks, and
• 30:10
  the sharing of information, and blah, blah, blah,
• 30:12
  all the military intelligence is going on, and
• 30:15
  we're very slanted when we see this, and
• 30:17
  it's okay for us, it's not okay for
• 30:19
  China, it's not okay for Russia, because why?
• 30:22
  Because they're China and Russia, period, but the
• 30:25
  world, the multipolar world is changing, and guess
• 30:29
  who recognizes that?
• 30:31
  Donald Trump, certainly Marco Rubio, he's talked about
• 30:35
  it before, right?
• 30:37
  But these fortifications that we're trying to build
• 30:39
  inside of Ukraine, years and years ago, well,
• 30:42
  all the way up through 2014, all the
• 30:44
  way up to 2022, serious money, we built
• 30:47
  the million-man army of Ukraine, we, in
• 30:50
  the Obama sense, you know, we, I built
• 30:52
  that business for you, you didn't build your
• 30:54
  business, I helped you build it, because I'm
• 30:56
  the president, and there you go, Donald Trump
• 30:59
  owns the Hormuz Straits of Hormuz, Straits of
• 31:02
  Trump, is because he wants to have it,
• 31:05
  oh, they're showing that dude who's a guy
• 31:07
  that's an admiral, who is it?
• 31:09
  His, we're not interested, the climate warrior general
• 31:14
  who wears a woman's outfit, that, you know,
• 31:17
  the U.S. of gay, you know, we're
• 31:19
  all supposed to be gay, every movie you
• 31:21
  see now has a gay couple in it,
• 31:23
  why every single movie?
• 31:25
  It's not how it works, it's because they
• 31:27
  want it to be that way, I don't
• 31:29
  care about gay people, give a crap, but,
• 31:31
  I mean, what you do in your privacy
• 31:33
  or in home, that don't mean I want
• 31:34
  to eat it morning, noon, and night, okay,
• 31:37
  don't want to do it, anyway, that's my
• 31:38
  bitching for this morning, um, Zelensky wants to
• 31:43
  shock everybody, he, you know, he attacks Hungary,
• 31:45
  verbally, wants Orban to lose that thing, he's
• 31:48
  attacking NATO like crazy, but he got some
• 31:50
  bad news yesterday, because, uh, what's her name,
• 31:55
  uh, Ursula von der Leyen's, uh, uh, cohort
• 31:59
  there, uh, Kaya Callas, guess where she was
• 32:02
  yesterday, she ran off to Kiev, she ran
• 32:04
  off to Kiev, for what this time, to
• 32:07
  tell the old Z monster, the old green
• 32:09
  goblin, the zillioni, uh, goblin, the zillioni twar,
• 32:13
  is what they call him in Russia, green
• 32:14
  something, and, uh, that's not a good word,
• 32:17
  anyway, because the level of incidents when destroying
• 32:20
  the, you know, uh, you know, St. Petersburg,
• 32:24
  that's okay, but, you know, if, if you're
• 32:27
  getting bombed by Iran, suddenly that's not good,
• 32:30
  if Israel wants to bomb the crap out
• 32:33
  of Gaza, just level it, like Netanyahu said
• 32:36
  he was gonna, and, and leveling a lot
• 32:39
  of Lebanon, the southern regions, he's leveling all
• 32:41
  the houses, why, so they can come in
• 32:43
  as the Jewish settlements, they're allowing settlers to
• 32:47
  push forward, it's like they've opened the, uh,
• 32:50
  Louisiana territory in America and said, all right,
• 32:53
  go on out there and kill all those
• 32:54
  Indians, this is Indian decimation, this is genocide,
• 32:59
  just like it was genocide when, when Russia
• 33:02
  was subject to, and, and by the way,
• 33:06
  all the Baltics, all of Poland, everywhere else
• 33:08
  was subject to Hitler's moving armies, they wanted
• 33:11
  to colonize Germans, installing them inside the hermitage
• 33:17
  in, uh, St. Petersburg, that's what they wanted
• 33:19
  to do, that's what they were doing, so
• 33:22
  that's what we're doing with Israel, hello, how's
• 33:24
  the family, we support that, we put it
• 33:27
  all in, but, but, but the war is
• 33:28
  gonna, the, the nature of warfare is gonna
• 33:31
  change all of this, okay, and people need
• 33:33
  to pull their heads out of their collective
• 33:35
  a-holes right now and figure out that
• 33:38
  this is a long-term war, regardless what
• 33:41
  Rubio and, and, uh, you know, JV quarterback,
• 33:45
  uh, Hegseth are out there, uh, saying, you
• 33:49
  know, oh geez, we got these guys on
• 33:50
  the run, we're winning, they give up, Donald
• 33:52
  Trump says we can't even take straights or
• 33:54
  moves because they got bombs in there, this,
• 33:57
  these are, um, what do you call it,
• 33:59
  incongruous statements, statements that do not go together,
• 34:02
  one of these things is not like the
• 34:05
  other, Trump says war's gonna end soon, so
• 34:08
  we're just gonna bomb the shit out of
• 34:09
  them for the next couple of weeks, but
• 34:11
  we know we can't do a ground invasion,
• 34:13
  so we're just gonna bomb the crap out
• 34:14
  of them, we're gonna destroy their infrastructure, just
• 34:17
  like Ukraine is doing to Russia, and Russia
• 34:18
  is doing to Ukraine, and vice versa, and
• 34:20
  so that is the nature of warfare these
• 34:22
  days, but nobody's gonna want to send troops
• 34:24
  into Iran, because that is a death wish,
• 34:28
  okay, what we do know is, uh, these
• 34:34
  intercepts and giving of the money is, is,
• 34:37
  to Ukraine has been a bad plan all
• 34:40
  along, we know that right now, uh, let's
• 34:43
  talk about the, uh, Trump Jr. had a,
• 34:46
  uh, a discussion with a guy named John
• 34:48
  Solomon, and, uh, what we know is that
• 34:51
  the NSA has identified high-ranking Ukrainian officials
• 34:54
  who conducted conversations about Europe in the entire
• 35:00
  European bureaucracy and how it works, there's a
• 35:02
  huge corruption scandal going on, another one connected
• 35:06
  to Ukraine, but this time tied through U
• 35:08
  .S. Agency for International Development, with all the
• 35:11
  money going back, and they're actually following the
• 35:13
  chains of this, okay, and so none of
• 35:18
  these USAID employees are identified by name, it's
• 35:21
  just said that they worked for USAID in
• 35:24
  Kiev, that's a small group of people, they
• 35:26
  should be able to identify it, that's why
• 35:28
  checking the emails, maybe we should do a
• 35:30
  civic outlaws email, or, or, uh, what do
• 35:34
  you call it, a, uh, a FOIA information,
• 35:37
  Freedom of Information Act, we should, and with
• 35:40
  civic outlaws, maybe I will, that's a good
• 35:42
  idea, um, you know, we have to identify
• 35:45
  who it is, maybe we can get in
• 35:47
  touch with those officials, find out who discussed
• 35:50
  the grant for clean energy in the midst
• 35:52
  of a war with Russia, now let me,
• 35:54
  that's one thing, and there's plenty of other
• 35:56
  ones that you can go and search for
• 35:58
  these, I, I got the idea for this,
• 36:00
  it's not even my original idea, I, I
• 36:03
  watched a Monday version, um, because today is
• 36:06
  now Wednesday, but I watched the Monday episode
• 36:09
  of, uh, Solovyov, and I listened to all
• 36:11
  these arguments that, what they were putting together,
• 36:14
  especially for the corruption going on in Ukraine,
• 36:17
  backdated, all the way to USAID, and Donald
• 36:21
  Trump Jr. having a discussion with this Solomon
• 36:23
  guy, and they were talking in depth about
• 36:25
  this, and then I heard something that they
• 36:28
  said, uh, one of the, I, one of
• 36:30
  the commentators, and they usually have, oh, six
• 36:33
  commentators, and then he has, it goes into
• 36:35
  a break at about an hour and 45
• 36:36
  thing, and then they come back with four
• 36:38
  or five more commentators, and they continue the
• 36:40
  discussion with a new panel, okay, and so
• 36:43
  the new, I like watching this show, I
• 36:45
  think it's great, and whether you agree with
• 36:47
  it or not, it sets the topics for
• 36:49
  today, because that's what they're listening to, they
• 36:51
  were talking about the, the Finland and the,
• 36:53
  uh, uh, all this other stuff, and, and
• 36:55
  it's fact-based, so I'm sharing that with
• 36:58
  you, but some of the ideas for it,
• 37:00
  only some, come from the, uh, uh, uh,
• 37:04
  evening with Solovyov, so if people would report
• 37:07
  to you live what the issues are in
• 37:09
  another country, perhaps you might start to understand
• 37:12
  some things, you don't have to believe it
• 37:14
  all, I don't give a shit if you
• 37:15
  believe any of it, but the fact is,
• 37:17
  this is what they are talking about over
• 37:19
  there, they've chased money through many levels, and
• 37:22
  one, then what they said was that Donald
• 37:24
  Trump is fighting the deep state, how many
• 37:27
  people have said that to me, and they
• 37:28
  said, where does the deep state come from,
• 37:31
  on the Solovyov show, and say, guess what
• 37:33
  he said, he said, the deep state is
• 37:37
  the elites of Europe, those are the elites,
• 37:42
  and Trump is not working along with them,
• 37:44
  and it was like, you know what, that
• 37:48
  proposition actually makes a little bit of sense,
• 37:52
  especially when you follow the money, the money
• 37:55
  through US Agency for International Development, which was
• 37:59
  chased through on many levels, was washed several
• 38:02
  times, so the funds were not sent directly
• 38:05
  to the Democratic Party, but a huge portion
• 38:08
  of them did, that's why they went in,
• 38:10
  and they shut it down, it's worth noting
• 38:13
  that USAID was headed by a very famous
• 38:16
  figure, the former US Ambassador to the UN
• 38:19
  Samantha Power, she's a Obama, Clinton, and Biden
• 38:23
  supporter, right, USAID was headed by a figure
• 38:27
  from the Biden, Clinton, Obama era, even through
• 38:31
  the first term of the Trumpster, and so
• 38:33
  all the money, where was it funneled to,
• 38:36
  Ukraine, laundered, came back, so this I agree
• 38:41
  with, and Americans are tired of this crap,
• 38:45
  and we wonder if any of those people
• 38:47
  that were stealing, you know, through US Agency
• 38:49
  for International Development, are ready to cooperate, there's
• 38:52
  a guy named Steve White, who did negotiations
• 38:54
  around the world, including in Ukraine, received information
• 38:58
  from representatives of the Ukrainian government, which could
• 39:00
  be very useful for understanding the last 10
• 39:03
  years, the issue of corruption, tied between countries,
• 39:06
  as well as the people who benefited, engaged
• 39:09
  in fraud and action, trying to exert political
• 39:11
  influence, and what this leads to, is the
• 39:15
  fact that we are witnessing, according to many,
• 39:19
  the very last dying throws of NATO itself,
• 39:24
  there's talk that NATO, that if, especially, what
• 39:27
  happens if Orban does not win, okay, without
• 39:31
  America, first thing, the negative attitude toward America,
• 39:35
  just like the structure of the European Union,
• 39:38
  is, you know, all of the structure dislikes
• 39:40
  America now, they're kind of anti-America, and
• 39:44
  so that's NATO, is anti-America, but they're
• 39:48
  horribly anti-Russia, they hate Russia more than
• 39:50
  they hate us, so they will bow down
• 39:52
  and kiss the, you know, the nether regions
• 39:57
  of the Donald Trumpovich, so that they can
• 40:00
  continue to collect the money, even though he
• 40:02
  forced them to do the 5%, and if
• 40:04
  he's really going to withdraw, this is what
• 40:06
  is important, but these are going to be
• 40:09
  severe sanctions against Americans, if they can figure
• 40:15
  out how to get Orban out of office,
• 40:19
  they get Orban out of office, there's no
• 40:21
  U.S. support really anymore, there's licking of
• 40:24
  the rear end, but there's no support of
• 40:26
  middle relations between the West and Russia, none,
• 40:31
  they all hate, they don't even want to
• 40:33
  talk to them, you're not allowed to acknowledge
• 40:35
  that they exist, there's some evil orcs living
• 40:39
  on the, after the, after you get to
• 40:42
  Belarus, and after you get past Latvia, Lithuania,
• 40:46
  Estonia, and Finland, suddenly you're in some wild
• 40:49
  land where people don't exist, you can just
• 40:52
  destroy these beasts that live out there, just
• 40:56
  like the Indians in America, that's what they're
• 40:58
  trying to do, and Trump, if you believe
• 41:01
  this part, Trump is against all of that,
• 41:03
  wants to work with Russia, wants to have
• 41:05
  people normalize all these relationships, he used to,
• 41:08
  he did, but now he's created, you know,
• 41:11
  maybe he's doing this, maybe his Hormuz, Venezuela,
• 41:15
  Russia tactics are all to force China to
• 41:19
  do something, because who's sitting in the background
• 41:21
  not spending billions of dollars every day, blowing
• 41:26
  up shit, they are saving billions of dollars
• 41:31
  every day, they're thinking long-term, they're thinking
• 41:34
  strategically, a lot of people are thinking, geez,
• 41:37
  wonder what happens when these drones start to
• 41:40
  wander into the U.S. territory, are we
• 41:43
  going to be as flat and as Iron
• 41:48
  Dome savvy, because now we're Iron Dome savvy,
• 41:52
  that Iron Dome doesn't do crap, not for
• 41:55
  them or for us, y'all think, oh
• 41:58
  no, they got everything, guess what, they're getting
• 42:00
  the shit kicked out of all over southern
• 42:02
  Israel as well, and people are firing at
• 42:06
  will in both directions, and Iran can withstand
• 42:10
  it a lot longer than U.S. bases
• 42:13
  can, and a lot longer than Israel, and
• 42:17
  now they're trying to up the ante, how?
• 42:20
  Get England, get France, get anybody who gets
• 42:25
  oil through the Straits of Hormuz, get them
• 42:27
  to do it, not Donald Trumpovich, he doesn't
• 42:30
  do it, Trump doesn't do it, he's backing
• 42:33
  off, he's going, no, we're leaving, you should
• 42:35
  watch it, he's always so matter of fact,
• 42:37
  like, of course, everybody should know this, I'm
• 42:40
  leaving, now I just have 15,000 troops
• 42:43
  over there, but we're leaving, we're not going
• 42:45
  in, and so this is the art of
• 42:46
  the deal at its finest, right, he's going
• 42:48
  to say, we're not going in, then tomorrow
• 42:50
  we'll have 20,000 troops on the Karg
• 42:52
  Island, right, so 120 years ago, neutral states
• 42:57
  in the events of war, right, during this
• 43:00
  convention, it was stated that it's impossible to
• 43:03
  put foreign troops through the territory of a
• 43:07
  neutral country, like, you couldn't go through Switzerland
• 43:10
  to get to Austria, if you're Germany, and
• 43:15
  vice versa, you couldn't go the other route,
• 43:17
  right, because why?
• 43:20
  Switzerland's neutral, you can't use their territory.
• 43:24
  Spain, you can't use our airspace, Italy, you
• 43:28
  cannot use our airspace, well, truthfully, they're not
• 43:31
  supposed to anyway, that's an act of war,
• 43:35
  okay, by the place, so, you know, you
• 43:39
  couldn't use the telegraph way back when, according
• 43:41
  to many sources, you couldn't use the telegraph
• 43:45
  to transmit data through to another, to a
• 43:50
  warring country through a neutral country, you couldn't
• 43:53
  do it, right, but the most interesting thing
• 43:57
  is that on the Europe and the European
• 43:58
  Union as well, this is normal, we're allowed
• 44:01
  to do this, we're allowed to send these
• 44:03
  drones into Russia through Finland, through Latvia, Lithuania,
• 44:06
  Estonia, why?
• 44:08
  Because it's Russia we're fighting, that's okay, but
• 44:13
  if they do the same thing in reverse
• 44:14
  and beat the snot out of U.S.
• 44:16
  bases in Iraq, Iran, which nobody foresaw as
• 44:20
  occurring, because why?
• 44:22
  The deterrent was there, but once you figure
• 44:25
  out that it's no deterrent anyway, what difference
• 44:29
  does it make?
• 44:30
  Everything is done by some geeks sitting in
• 44:34
  a dark basement, maybe their mother's basement, directing
• 44:37
  drones through Finland, from Ukraine, into Russia, or
• 44:45
  they're creating these rollback containers that, you know,
• 44:50
  you can roll in, drive into Russia, and
• 44:52
  it was, they put a secret thing so
• 44:54
  you couldn't inspect, it was the top eight
• 44:57
  inches, I think it was, is where the
• 44:59
  drones were seated, so when you roll back
• 45:01
  the top of the container, you got a
• 45:06
  whole platform there full of mini drones with
• 45:10
  heavy duty artillery, and you roll that back,
• 45:13
  and people fly them, not very far, you
• 45:16
  know, they were parked on the edge of
• 45:17
  the airfield, and you fly them across the
• 45:20
  fence into the airfield, and you blow up
• 45:21
  Russian planes, that's what people are doing, that
• 45:24
  is 007, 008, these are the people that
• 45:28
  are destroying things, right?
• 45:30
  So this is normalized, you know, if you
• 45:33
  go to Geneva, what are you talking about?
• 45:36
  Geneva conventions, they don't even exist anymore, nobody
• 45:40
  cares, we are destroying individual people and leaders
• 45:45
  of a country, and they're getting on the
• 45:48
  freaking airwaves, bandwaves video right now, and talking,
• 45:55
  you know, Hegseth cheerleading team gets out there
• 45:57
  and goes, yeah, you get a next set
• 45:59
  of leaders, Iran, we'll just destroy them too,
• 46:02
  well, Iran is finally saying, well, screw you
• 46:05
  guys, you know, this is existential for us,
• 46:08
  how many levels you gonna go?
• 46:10
  Because the more levels you go, the worse
• 46:12
  you look, not us, you're destroying individuals, there
• 46:16
  are people like me who have been speaking
• 46:18
  out against this type of warfare from the
• 46:21
  very start, because if it's good for the
• 46:23
  goose, it's good for whom?
• 46:25
  The gander, and we don't want that here
• 46:29
  in America, if it's okay to do that,
• 46:31
  maybe Russia could fly through Canadian airspace to
• 46:36
  attack, you know, Minneapolis, you know, Detroit, why
• 46:41
  can't you come, you know, you have to
• 46:42
  get through, what's wrong with taking the Great
• 46:46
  Lakes, and why can't Russian submarines come through
• 46:50
  the Great Lakes part and come all the
• 46:52
  way up to Duluth, Minnesota, why aren't you
• 46:56
  allowed to do that?
• 46:57
  Because that's decency, people, we don't do that,
• 47:01
  those straits are closed, and you would start
• 47:03
  an international incident, nobody gives a shit anymore,
• 47:05
  we start the international incidents every day, and
• 47:08
  we go, why?
• 47:09
  Well, because I'm Trump, I'm king of the
• 47:11
  world, and this is how it's supposed to
• 47:13
  be, because I'm Donald Trump, and I'm king
• 47:14
  of the world, by the way, build me
• 47:16
  a 200-story building, that is going to
• 47:18
  be called my library, and then we'll make
• 47:20
  fun of Obama's looking like Oscar the Grouch's
• 47:23
  trash can, which is really true, that thing
• 47:25
  is ugly, if that's real picture, and I
• 47:28
  was given the impression that that thing was
• 47:30
  already built, however, it is not, it's just
• 47:32
  a concept, so in any, as far as
• 47:35
  I'm aware, somebody could tell me that's not
• 47:36
  the case, but allegedly that is what has
• 47:39
  been unveiled by Trump Jr.-ish, so here's some
• 47:46
  opinion, right, some people say this is going
• 47:50
  to go badly, this type of warfare, right,
• 47:57
  people are being, uh, tens of billions in
• 48:03
  supply to the Ukrainian army, and you know,
• 48:07
  what about the Europeans who goes, well, what
• 48:09
  about us?
• 48:10
  We provided the rockets, the drones, the tanks,
• 48:12
  the food, the money, we did all of
• 48:15
  this, so what else could not be allowed?
• 48:18
  You know, we gave them everything, we wanted
• 48:20
  them to win, now it's clear that we
• 48:22
  were the impetus behind all of this, so
• 48:25
  why in the world do we have to
• 48:28
  worry about those sort of rules anymore?
• 48:30
  Because everybody already knows this is what we've
• 48:33
  been doing, so yesterday, another agreement, Zelensky signed
• 48:37
  with who?
• 48:38
  Bulgaria, he signed an agreement that on their
• 48:40
  territory, in Bulgaria, they're going to produce some
• 48:44
  weapons for Ukraine, so Ukraine keeps getting all
• 48:48
  their shit blown up, because they have weapons
• 48:50
  facilities, missile facilities, and things they make, and
• 48:53
  Russia identifies them with their own intelligence, their
• 48:57
  own satellites, by the way, and destroys them,
• 49:00
  kills everything, destroys it all, beats the snot
• 49:03
  out of it, and gets rid of that
• 49:06
  facility with the production, okay, because they're using
• 49:10
  their own intelligence.
• 49:11
  Zelensky, using American, British, NATO, everybody else's intelligence,
• 49:16
  is bombing Russia, but he's not doing it
• 49:19
  on his own, he's doing it with the
• 49:20
  support of these people, does it mean that
• 49:22
  Ukraine is at a war, that NATO is
• 49:25
  also at a war, or that America, by
• 49:27
  extension, is at war with Russia?
• 49:29
  Yes, everybody knows all this, everybody knows this
• 49:33
  is what is happening, and what has been
• 49:35
  happening, but people aren't calling it what it
• 49:37
  is, this is war with Russia, put on
• 49:41
  by everybody, and you should actually be going,
• 49:43
  do you know, it's the restraint of people
• 49:45
  like Donald Trump, or Vladimir Putin, that restraint,
• 49:50
  that he isn't, you know, nuking Kyiv, because
• 49:53
  he could, and there ain't a damn thing
• 49:56
  Ukraine could do about it, he could, he
• 49:58
  could Reshnik them, this we know, and he
• 50:00
  did, and, you know, I think this is
• 50:03
  where we're going, I think that, you know,
• 50:06
  if power is all that we have, if
• 50:10
  power and the display of power, and the
• 50:12
  I'm the king of the world sort of
• 50:15
  thing, and by the way, I'm very much
• 50:16
  against the idiotic protests of no more kings,
• 50:20
  and, you know, they call it some cool
• 50:22
  slogan, but I think Trump is trying to
• 50:25
  act like king of the world, he wants
• 50:26
  to be Leonardo DiCaprio, and be king of
• 50:29
  the world, just like he was on the
• 50:32
  Titanic, the Titanic, what happened to it?
• 50:37
  Unfortunately for Leo, it sunk, and unfortunately, I
• 50:41
  believe that's what's going to happen with these
• 50:45
  king moves that we are trying to make
• 50:49
  against Iran, oops, allowing the old Z monster
• 50:54
  to make on our behalf, what he's done
• 50:58
  now is he signed an agreement with Bulgaria,
• 51:00
  because Russia won't bomb Bulgaria, and so this
• 51:04
  makes sense, does it not?
• 51:05
  He created a facility over there, a mass
• 51:08
  enterprise that Ukraine is going to do literally
• 51:12
  90% of it, all they're doing is
• 51:14
  going across the border, building the factory, building
• 51:16
  the thing, letting people build over there, because
• 51:19
  it's right across the border, all you got
• 51:21
  to do is just change the location of
• 51:23
  the factory, and Russia won't bomb it, because
• 51:26
  Russia won't bomb Bulgaria, that's it, they just
• 51:29
  won't do it, so they have a legal
• 51:31
  basis, but in the international scheme of things,
• 51:34
  is that wrong?
• 51:36
  I don't know, do we get to say
• 51:37
  that's wrong?
• 51:38
  Do we get to say, well, that's a
• 51:39
  legitimate target for Russia, because that's where the
• 51:42
  missiles are being made?
• 51:43
  Well, that's what, that's exactly what Donald Trump
• 51:47
  is saying, and Netanyahu has been saying, we
• 51:51
  want to destroy Iran, why?
• 51:55
  Because they sell arms to Hezbollah, right?
• 51:59
  They sell arms to Hamas, they support the
• 52:03
  Houthis, they have allies in the region that
• 52:06
  they support, but if you don't take it
• 52:09
  from the point of view that everyone's an
• 52:11
  extremist, if they were normal people, like Zelensky,
• 52:15
  who's not normal by any stretch, Zelensky, that's
• 52:19
  okay for the US to be involved in
• 52:21
  stuff like this, but it is not okay
• 52:23
  for the reverse to take place, and allow
• 52:28
  Iran to fund their own allies, that's not
• 52:35
  permitted, it's not permitted, apparently, for Russia and
• 52:39
  China, which both have borders, you know, or
• 52:41
  strong ties with Iran, they're all part of
• 52:47
  BRICS, by the way, BRICS isn't a defensive,
• 52:49
  it's an economic forum, but they're still allies
• 52:54
  in that sense, they still work together in
• 52:56
  that sense, and when the economy of one
• 52:58
  is getting beat up, which is exactly the
• 53:01
  point of this entire war, you're trying to
• 53:03
  beat up the economy, so that Russia, China,
• 53:07
  Iran, BRICS types of people do not succeed,
• 53:10
  by the way, who else was gonna be
• 53:13
  a participant, or look into BRICS?
• 53:17
  Venezuela, oh, surprise, surprise, surprise, these things all
• 53:24
  seem to tie together, now, maybe that's taking
• 53:26
  too many, many facts from all over the
• 53:29
  place, but these are the realities of the
• 53:31
  world, you know what I do for Civic
• 53:33
  Outlaws, I write these articles, and I publish
• 53:36
  them, and I do Civic Outlaws on Fridays,
• 53:39
  because the people making the laws in Jefferson
• 53:44
  City, freakin' Missouri, and in Washington, D.C.,
• 53:47
  do not understand how it's going to affect
• 53:52
  normal people, how it affects long-term strategic
• 53:57
  growth, I don't even think they look at
• 54:00
  that, all they care about is where their
• 54:02
  next donation dollar's coming from, all Trump cares
• 54:05
  about is being the best president ever in
• 54:09
  the history of the planet, and look at
• 54:11
  him, how he became a king, and his
• 54:13
  library that he's gotta build that's supposed to
• 54:16
  be in downtown Miami, and it'd be freakin'
• 54:18
  huge, it'd be a cool building if he
• 54:20
  did, you know, but that building doesn't exist
• 54:23
  yet, is what I've been told, now, that
• 54:25
  could be incorrect, maybe it is, but I
• 54:29
  doubt it, all of that is AI-generated,
• 54:32
  and maybe it's an official concept, you could
• 54:36
  make some pretty cool official concepts by getting
• 54:38
  into one of the, there's some pretty serious
• 54:40
  artwork ones out there that you can get
• 54:42
  in and say, here's what I wanna do,
• 54:43
  and it's changing the world for people that
• 54:46
  do their draftsmen, designing, writing websites, building databases,
• 54:54
  most of that stuff can be done by
• 54:56
  AI now, oh, write me this code that
• 54:58
  does this, write me a code that will
• 55:01
  fly my nuclear weapon with a nuclear-powered
• 55:06
  engine to loiter off the coast of China,
• 55:12
  Russia, United States, until we need them, and
• 55:16
  then you don't have the missile's travel time
• 55:19
  from a ballistic missile's, like, spies like us,
• 55:23
  you know, getting, come out of the, you
• 55:24
  don't have a 10-minute window to find
• 55:26
  them and destroy them with your air defense,
• 55:29
  you have two minutes, you have no time
• 55:33
  to get this done, you have to create
• 55:36
  defense systems that call for that.
• 55:39
  The argument, the main argument that what we
• 55:43
  are talking about here is that, is it
• 55:46
  really, are we in a world war already?
• 55:51
  Now think about that.
• 55:53
  Are we in a world war already?
• 55:56
  Because of the nature of warfare right now,
• 56:05
  the nature of relationships, can the U.S.
• 56:10
  just go out and dominate the way it
• 56:12
  did?
• 56:12
  It can if you're going against Venezuela, if
• 56:15
  you buy the participants that allow you in
• 56:19
  to arrest a guy and result in regime
• 56:23
  change, that you can do, you can engage
• 56:27
  in regime change, you could do that with
• 56:30
  a small country, defenseless.
• 56:33
  They're doing that in Iran.
• 56:35
  You can do your decapitation strikes all day
• 56:37
  long, but sending in 15,000 soldiers into
• 56:40
  Iran, that's a horrible death wish for the
• 56:43
  soldiers.
• 56:44
  And it ain't even a death wish, they
• 56:46
  don't want to do that.
• 56:48
  How many people came back from Iraq, wondered
• 56:52
  why we were there in the first place?
• 56:55
  What a scam it was.
• 56:58
  Why has the Veterans Administration started to treat
• 57:03
  their veterans differently, to take care of them,
• 57:07
  whereas before they did not?
• 57:08
  I believe part of it is to make
• 57:12
  you understand, oh, we're going to take care
• 57:15
  of you for life.
• 57:15
  Yeah, we'll take care of you for life.
• 57:19
  Because you lost a leg in defending a
• 57:22
  country that you can't even find on a
• 57:24
  map unless you're sent there.
• 57:26
  I mean, in all seriousness, how many people
• 57:28
  knew where Al Udeid Air Base was until
• 57:32
  they were stationed there?
• 57:34
  I didn't know it existed until I went
• 57:36
  to it when I was in Qatar.
• 57:38
  You go to it and you check it
• 57:39
  out, it's a decent base, standard, you know,
• 57:42
  it has a PX, it's got, not anymore,
• 57:45
  been bombed the crap out of it by
• 57:48
  Iran.
• 57:49
  And now those guys have them living in
• 57:51
  hotels now.
• 57:52
  And are the hotels a target because that's
• 57:55
  where you're housing your warriors?
• 57:57
  Is that hiding behind a school?
• 58:00
  Oh, geez, we blew up the Iranian girls
• 58:02
  school because those assholes were hiding behind it,
• 58:05
  you know, but they really blew it up
• 58:06
  because that was a Navy officer's school for
• 58:09
  their children.
• 58:10
  And they either had bad data or the
• 58:13
  scary part is they did it intentionally.
• 58:16
  That's the very first day of the strike,
• 58:19
  28 February, they took it out.
• 58:21
  So they either had bad data or intended
• 58:23
  to do it.
• 58:24
  You got to believe one or the other.
• 58:26
  Oh, geez, it was a mistake.
• 58:28
  Our missiles, which took out these detailed places,
• 58:31
  took out a school, 168 girls.
• 58:35
  Well, it's because he had old data because
• 58:37
  Google Maps wasn't correct for that part.
• 58:40
  You know, well, you have the, what do
• 58:43
  you call it?
• 58:43
  Pentagon probably has something better.
• 58:45
  So Russia has been saying this for a
• 58:47
  while.
• 58:48
  The dominant theme on political shows, you listen
• 58:51
  to domination.
• 58:52
  It's always been this way for at least
• 58:54
  for the last two, three years.
• 58:56
  Russia is not dealing with only Ukraine.
• 59:01
  No, we all believe that now, don't we?
• 59:04
  Oh, geez, Russia's attacking Ukraine.
• 59:06
  Yeah, but you don't understand what the hell
• 59:08
  you're talking about.
• 59:09
  So shut up, quit waving a blue and
• 59:11
  yellow flag and you didn't know they existed.
• 59:15
  Nonsense.
• 59:17
  So Ukraine is presented as the battlefield instrument
• 59:22
  when the real decisions are back in NATO,
• 59:26
  Washington DC, European capitals, and now linked through
• 59:30
  Donald Trump Jr. to bureaucratic and corruption networks.
• 59:36
  You say that what looks like the Ukraine
• 59:38
  war is really a larger proxy war against
• 59:42
  Russia.
• 59:44
  Finland and the Baltics cease to be neutral
• 59:47
  and are co-belligerents now because they're allowing
• 59:50
  people, allowing Ukrainian drones to pass through their
• 59:54
  territory.
• 59:55
  It's a legal argument.
• 59:56
  It's a good argument.
• 59:57
  If those States knowingly permit the transit, targeting,
• 1:00:01
  support, arms coordination, or use of their airspace,
• 1:00:05
  then they're no longer innocent bystanders.
• 1:00:08
  Why do you think Spain, Italy, a couple
• 1:00:11
  of other places are saying, no, thank you,
• 1:00:13
  United States.
• 1:00:14
  You cannot bomb Iran from here.
• 1:00:17
  We don't want them doing to us what
• 1:00:19
  they can do, what they have done inside
• 1:00:21
  of Qatar at Al Udeid airbase.
• 1:00:26
  We don't want that.
• 1:00:28
  Stop it.
• 1:00:29
  We don't, we don't support your war against
• 1:00:31
  you.
• 1:00:32
  We don't, we don't, this is worse.
• 1:00:33
  We don't support Israel's war in Iran being
• 1:00:37
  carried out by the United States.
• 1:00:40
  And now we're trying to justify it.
• 1:00:42
  All you had to do in day after
• 1:00:44
  the 28th was like, look, we've decapitated regime
• 1:00:48
  changes over success done instead.
• 1:00:52
  Nope.
• 1:00:52
  Nobody's there ready to lick your boots and
• 1:00:54
  say, oh, geez, we're now the 52nd, 53rd,
• 1:00:59
  54th, 58th state of America.
• 1:01:03
  That's us.
• 1:01:03
  Where's your democracy?
• 1:01:05
  Give us what you gave Iraq, right?
• 1:01:08
  Give us what you brought to Afghanistan for
• 1:01:12
  20 years.
• 1:01:13
  Give us that.
• 1:01:14
  No, thank you.
• 1:01:15
  This is an existential threat.
• 1:01:17
  We're going to go and fight back.
• 1:01:18
  And that's what has happened.
• 1:01:19
  And how are they fighting back?
• 1:01:20
  They're targeting places that allow the, uh, uh,
• 1:01:25
  allow the military to, uh, group from there.
• 1:01:29
  Where's Trump going to group these 15,000
• 1:01:32
  soldiers?
• 1:01:33
  Where's he going to put them?
• 1:01:36
  Assuming they don't just jump off whatever boat
• 1:01:38
  they're on or whatever plane they're in and,
• 1:01:41
  uh, start attacking, um, the island of cart
• 1:01:46
  right now.
• 1:01:47
  Where's he going to put them?
• 1:01:48
  He puts 15,000 more soldiers where let's
• 1:01:52
  try Qatar, right?
• 1:01:53
  Qatar is going to, I don't think so.
• 1:01:55
  Thank you.
• 1:01:56
  No, we have enough problems.
• 1:01:58
  There are talks that Iran is stopping bombing
• 1:02:00
  Qatar because Qatar is now working with them.
• 1:02:06
  What is, where does this leave the middle
• 1:02:07
  east?
• 1:02:09
  Where does this leave NATO?
• 1:02:12
  Because NATO people are thinking this way, but
• 1:02:14
  at least on the, on the Western half,
• 1:02:17
  you know, Spain, you know, Italy, arguably these
• 1:02:19
  people are saying we're closing our airspace.
• 1:02:21
  We don't want to be seen as the
• 1:02:23
  guy who allows this stuff to participate because
• 1:02:26
  the Geneva convention says you don't do that
• 1:02:28
  through neutral territory, but guess what?
• 1:02:30
  Nobody pays attention to that.
• 1:02:32
  And the Baltics have no military.
• 1:02:34
  They're extremely weak.
• 1:02:35
  They got nothing, no air defense, no nothing.
• 1:02:37
  And they're allowing drones to come through.
• 1:02:39
  Why wouldn't Russia retaliate seriously?
• 1:02:44
  I'm not saying they should, I'm saying why
• 1:02:46
  wouldn't they, they don't because that is a
• 1:02:49
  NATO trigger, right?
• 1:02:51
  NATO, but they're already at war with NATO.
• 1:02:54
  So the argument is why worry for the,
• 1:02:57
  what do you think they're going to take
• 1:02:58
  them out?
• 1:03:00
  NATO is going to be Russia.
• 1:03:02
  You think not without the U S certainly
• 1:03:06
  not.
• 1:03:07
  And the disagreements between the U S and
• 1:03:09
  NATO are well known and documented.
• 1:03:12
  Trump doesn't like them anyway.
• 1:03:15
  And so, you know, they're not going to,
• 1:03:16
  they're not going to want to help him
• 1:03:17
  and vice versa.
• 1:03:19
  You didn't help us in the Straits of
• 1:03:20
  Hormuz help us.
• 1:03:22
  You should have thought about it before you
• 1:03:23
  took it.
• 1:03:24
  Everybody knew this was going to happen.
• 1:03:26
  Everybody knew that you try to go in
• 1:03:28
  there and bomb Iran.
• 1:03:29
  Iran is coming back.
• 1:03:31
  Everybody knew it.
• 1:03:33
  Joe can knew it.
• 1:03:36
  Israel, everybody knew it.
• 1:03:37
  That's why we have to act.
• 1:03:39
  No, we have to act now because Iran's
• 1:03:41
  too powerful.
• 1:03:42
  Well, they know Iran's too powerful because they
• 1:03:43
  got underground missile stockpiles, freaking enormous and America.
• 1:03:48
  We don't really want that.
• 1:03:50
  We don't want it nor should we, because
• 1:03:53
  welcome to Iraq again, welcome to Afghanistan again.
• 1:03:58
  And if you really want to be cynical,
• 1:04:00
  let's go back to Vietnam.
• 1:04:02
  Most of the war, most of the battles
• 1:04:04
  were won.
• 1:04:05
  Most of the battles we defeated people, our
• 1:04:08
  army and soldiers and Navy air force Marines
• 1:04:12
  did what they were supposed to do successfully,
• 1:04:15
  but they still lost the war.
• 1:04:19
  Same thing in Iraq, same thing in Afghanistan,
• 1:04:23
  same thing in Syria, same things that people
• 1:04:26
  do what they've got to do to survive.
• 1:04:29
  And they didn't sign the contract.
• 1:04:31
  This is going to be another long-term
• 1:04:34
  bullshit war that Trump said he wasn't going
• 1:04:38
  to get us into.
• 1:04:39
  And I think he's seeking that entry, that
• 1:04:41
  exit ramp.
• 1:04:42
  And I think he knows the exit ramp
• 1:04:44
  now is to claim that, well, NATO wouldn't
• 1:04:46
  help us.
• 1:04:47
  We can't secure the Straits of Hormuz.
• 1:04:49
  You wouldn't have to secure the Straits of
• 1:04:50
  Hormuz if you didn't bomb Iran in the
• 1:04:52
  first place.
• 1:04:54
  If you start, if you didn't follow blindly,
• 1:04:57
  Benjamin Netanyahu, Marco Rubio, I mean, he admitted
• 1:05:02
  it.
• 1:05:02
  Yeah.
• 1:05:03
  We were following Benny.
• 1:05:04
  We're following Benjamin.
• 1:05:06
  BB's our buddy.
• 1:05:07
  He's fighting.
• 1:05:08
  Well, maybe we should take the opportunity to
• 1:05:10
  decapitate everybody.
• 1:05:12
  And that's what we did, but you have
• 1:05:14
  to keep one up escalate.
• 1:05:16
  And what's the next step on the escalation
• 1:05:18
  ladder?
• 1:05:19
  Ground troops or no ground troops.
• 1:05:21
  I think Trump is getting beat up enough
• 1:05:24
  by people like me that he's probably not
• 1:05:26
  going to do it.
• 1:05:27
  That has nothing to do with me.
• 1:05:29
  But if we have a huge voice of
• 1:05:31
  people saying this is wrong, that's it.
• 1:05:36
  You know, everybody else in the planet is
• 1:05:38
  making cold calculations, right?
• 1:05:43
  Here you go.
• 1:05:44
  Iran's new regime president, much less radicalized, far
• 1:05:47
  more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked
• 1:05:51
  the U.S. for a ceasefire.
• 1:05:52
  We'll consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free
• 1:05:56
  and clear.
• 1:05:57
  Till then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion,
• 1:06:00
  or as they say, back to the Stone
• 1:06:01
  Age.
• 1:06:02
  President D.J.T. Then this morning, he'll
• 1:06:09
  say something completely opposite.
• 1:06:11
  Oh, we're leaving Iran in a couple of
• 1:06:12
  weeks.
• 1:06:13
  No, this is I think they might go
• 1:06:15
  back to what they were talking about before.
• 1:06:17
  We'll just keep bombing the crap out of
• 1:06:19
  them and kill innocent people, destroy all their
• 1:06:21
  infrastructure, kill civilians.
• 1:06:23
  That's what we're going to do.
• 1:06:24
  That's what we're going to do.
• 1:06:25
  And then we're going to leave because Americans
• 1:06:27
  draw the line at putting troops in.
• 1:06:30
  We can justify this.
• 1:06:31
  That's far away.
• 1:06:33
  You know, people aren't really paying attention.
• 1:06:35
  And that's that.
• 1:06:36
  I disagree with that.
• 1:06:37
  I think people are paying attention.
• 1:06:39
  I'm paying attention.
• 1:06:40
  I think it's bullshit, this whole thing.
• 1:06:42
  And, you know, there's another.
• 1:06:45
  So the European bluff and allowing these things
• 1:06:47
  to go through without the United States, that
• 1:06:50
  bluff's pretty hollow.
• 1:06:52
  Or they're trying to get Russia to attack
• 1:06:54
  Finland directly.
• 1:06:57
  Or to claim that Russia attacked Finland directly.
• 1:07:00
  That way, Article 5 kicks in, everybody, you
• 1:07:02
  know, NATO joins in.
• 1:07:04
  American troops in Poland get to go east
• 1:07:06
  and north a little bit into Finland.
• 1:07:10
  That's it.
• 1:07:11
  The emerging dispute over Iran exposed a serious
• 1:07:15
  weakness.
• 1:07:16
  If Europe doesn't support Washington in the Middle
• 1:07:18
  East, then Washington isn't going to support Europe
• 1:07:21
  in the Russian, you know, debacle that they
• 1:07:25
  created years and years ago.
• 1:07:27
  With Trump's full knowledge, by the way, and
• 1:07:29
  participation.
• 1:07:31
  That's how it works.
• 1:07:33
  You know, the remarks attributed to Trump and
• 1:07:36
  his circle mean that NATO's old bargain is
• 1:07:38
  breaking down.
• 1:07:40
  Europe might be the only side left to
• 1:07:42
  be fighting Russia alone.
• 1:07:45
  So, you know, this isn't a temporary quarrel.
• 1:07:48
  This could be the end of NATO.
• 1:07:52
  And the beginning of the long unraveling of
• 1:07:54
  the European Union, which is already starting, by
• 1:07:56
  the way.
• 1:07:59
  Europe doesn't have a real plan.
• 1:08:00
  Certainly not without America driving the train and
• 1:08:03
  making the plan.
• 1:08:04
  Europe's got no plan.
• 1:08:05
  No independent military, no capacity to manage a
• 1:08:08
  serious continental conflict unless they have U.S.
• 1:08:12
  intelligence, logistics, political leadership.
• 1:08:15
  Right?
• 1:08:15
  Well, they can't do that.
• 1:08:17
  They suck.
• 1:08:18
  And they get to get, you know, even
• 1:08:20
  with their 5%, you know, move it up.
• 1:08:22
  They're still expecting America to do all the
• 1:08:25
  heavy lifting, as it were.
• 1:08:29
  The Iran war has been used to show
• 1:08:33
  proof of this.
• 1:08:35
  U.S. expected allied help over Iran.
• 1:08:38
  Europe withheld that help, blocked airspace.
• 1:08:41
  U.S. is going to rethink why it
• 1:08:43
  should continue to keep subsidizing Europe's western or
• 1:08:47
  eastern expansion into Slovakia, Slovenia, into Serbia, into
• 1:08:54
  the old Czechoslovakia, into all of those places
• 1:08:58
  that we've divided, picked up, and done.
• 1:09:02
  You know, Transnistria, Russia, Moldova, Belarus.
• 1:09:08
  You know, you think they're waiting for Lukashenka
• 1:09:11
  to die so that they get somebody else
• 1:09:13
  because then they will be on Russia's doorstep?
• 1:09:16
  Doesn't everybody understand that Lukashenka is old and
• 1:09:19
  therefore they got to figure out what the
• 1:09:21
  next step is?
• 1:09:22
  We act like in America it's always just
• 1:09:24
  one leader, Trump, in his statement that he
• 1:09:27
  just gave us.
• 1:09:28
  Let's get our duckies in a row and
• 1:09:37
  say what's really going on.
• 1:09:39
  We eliminate the leader and expect the country
• 1:09:43
  to fall in line.
• 1:09:44
  Has Venezuela fallen in line?
• 1:09:46
  No.
• 1:09:47
  Venezuela says, the vice president says, Maduro is
• 1:09:51
  still the president.
• 1:09:53
  As recently as last Saturday, Maduro's still the
• 1:09:56
  president.
• 1:09:57
  You think they aren't trying to maintain that?
• 1:09:58
  You think Venezuela is pro-America right now?
• 1:10:02
  Would you like to go there and visit
• 1:10:04
  the country?
• 1:10:04
  Geez, Trump freed it.
• 1:10:06
  It's got democracy now.
• 1:10:08
  Nope.
• 1:10:09
  It's got oil companies, large American oil companies
• 1:10:13
  in there pumping as much oil as they
• 1:10:15
  can get away with until the government comes
• 1:10:17
  back.
• 1:10:18
  And Trump did that for them.
• 1:10:21
  Trump did it.
• 1:10:23
  And now Zelensky's panicked.
• 1:10:25
  Zelensky's panicked.
• 1:10:27
  He's a manipulative little beggar and he's politically
• 1:10:30
  trapped.
• 1:10:32
  You know, hell, there's talks that the war
• 1:10:34
  on the Donbass is over.
• 1:10:35
  Zelensky this year is asking for an Easter
• 1:10:38
  truce.
• 1:10:39
  So the religions, the two religions are the
• 1:10:42
  same, Pravoslavianskaya, which is the Russian Eastern Orthodox,
• 1:10:45
  and now they have Ukrainskaya, Pravoslavianskaya, and that
• 1:10:49
  is the church, the Ukrainian one.
• 1:10:51
  They had to cut off from Russia, where
• 1:10:55
  the patriarchy is in Moscow, and it's the
• 1:10:58
  same.
• 1:10:59
  It's like the Vatican in Rome, but they
• 1:11:01
  directed the Pravoslavianskaya Church, right?
• 1:11:04
  Well, now, even in America, all of those
• 1:11:07
  churches which were Russian Orthodox are now Ukrainian
• 1:11:09
  Orthodox, and they have been, at least for
• 1:11:12
  30 years.
• 1:11:13
  Now, there were small divides before.
• 1:11:14
  I don't mean to say that they didn't
• 1:11:15
  have a separatist history, but the biggest versions
• 1:11:18
  of them were always Russian Orthodox, and the
• 1:11:21
  patriarchy, which goes up to the Pope, as
• 1:11:24
  it were, that always was through the same
• 1:11:27
  church and goes.
• 1:11:28
  They were killing off those sorts of church,
• 1:11:31
  and the church people, which were under the
• 1:11:34
  patriarchy of Moscow, it's a big part of
• 1:11:36
  the war.
• 1:11:37
  So they stopped that in the Ukrainian church.
• 1:11:39
  Ukraine started recognizing different holidays, different religious holidays.
• 1:11:45
  So Easter, this year, in Russia, under the
• 1:11:48
  church of Pravoslavianskaya with the, I forget the
• 1:11:53
  guy's name, Chief Patriarch, he, they decide, I
• 1:11:57
  mean, it's by calendar every year, like with
• 1:11:59
  us.
• 1:12:00
  It's not celebrated the same every year.
• 1:12:02
  It goes according to Sunday in the calendar,
• 1:12:04
  whatever it is, first Sunday in April, whatever
• 1:12:07
  it is.
• 1:12:08
  But that's Easter.
• 1:12:09
  Well, theirs is going to be celebrated on
• 1:12:12
  the 12th.
• 1:12:13
  Their Poska, it's where blini get made, blinchiki.
• 1:12:18
  It's a great celebration.
• 1:12:20
  And they have a caviar that they put,
• 1:12:22
  I don't like red caviar, but sometimes I'll
• 1:12:23
  eat the black with a lot of sour
• 1:12:25
  cream.
• 1:12:26
  And you put it on a blinchiki, one
• 1:12:29
  of the blini, the small crepes, pancakes, very
• 1:12:33
  small, very tasty.
• 1:12:34
  If they're done correctly, I throw in a
• 1:12:36
  touch of vanilla into mine to make sure
• 1:12:38
  that they're quite tasty.
• 1:12:39
  And I make some pretty good ones, by
• 1:12:41
  the way, but you can make them and
• 1:12:42
  they make them for Poska and they have
• 1:12:44
  this stuff.
• 1:12:44
  The celebration is on the 12th this year.
• 1:12:47
  And the celebration, guess what?
• 1:12:50
  In Ukraine, for the Ukrainian, Pravoslavianskaya happens to,
• 1:12:53
  or Ukrainskaya, Slavianskaya, I don't remember the name
• 1:12:55
  of the church.
• 1:12:56
  But either way, that church and the Russian
• 1:12:59
  version, the Russian Orthodox Church, both of those
• 1:13:04
  are on the same day.
• 1:13:06
  So Zelensky is proposing a ceasefire on those
• 1:13:09
  days.
• 1:13:11
  He wants a ceasefire badly.
• 1:13:12
  He's been after this ceasefire forever and he
• 1:13:14
  hasn't gotten it and Russia keeps going.
• 1:13:16
  Well, I believe he was told we'll review
• 1:13:18
  it, but it's not looking likely.
• 1:13:20
  You guys haven't done anything.
• 1:13:22
  You're still in this.
• 1:13:24
  And the Donbass is almost secure.
• 1:13:27
  And once the Donbass is secure, what do
• 1:13:31
  you call it?
• 1:13:32
  Part one of the war is basically over,
• 1:13:35
  right?
• 1:13:37
  They've taken one objective, that is the Donbass,
• 1:13:40
  it's freed, once Russia, and they're very close
• 1:13:42
  to that right now.
• 1:13:44
  And then you have Zaporizhia and Kherson regions,
• 1:13:47
  and those are next.
• 1:13:49
  And Zaporizhia's bigger, Kherson is mostly taken, but
• 1:13:52
  we'll have to figure those out.
• 1:13:54
  Both of them are in the 80 to
• 1:13:55
  90% anyway, but Russia will continue to
• 1:13:58
  take those two spaces.
• 1:13:59
  But they may start the buffer zone into
• 1:14:02
  further areas, which is what they're doing up
• 1:14:04
  in Sunni and underneath Belgrade and places like
• 1:14:07
  that.
• 1:14:07
  Anyway, Zelensky proposed a truce for the Easter
• 1:14:12
  holidays.
• 1:14:13
  And I believe the answer so far has
• 1:14:15
  been no.
• 1:14:16
  You're not getting just a ceasefire.
• 1:14:19
  You're bombing in our country.
• 1:14:21
  There are plenty of reasons why they said
• 1:14:24
  they're not going to do it.
• 1:14:26
  But think about this.
• 1:14:28
  If Russia achieves their objectives, what does that
• 1:14:32
  mean?
• 1:14:35
  Seriously, what does it mean when Russia has
• 1:14:38
  its objectives?
• 1:14:40
  I mean, for Zelensky, it means Zelensky didn't
• 1:14:45
  capitulate, that Zelensky just lost.
• 1:14:49
  And he can run for office.
• 1:14:51
  He can have elections saying that he settled
• 1:14:54
  the conflict.
• 1:14:55
  When he didn't settle it, Russia achieved their
• 1:14:58
  objectives.
• 1:14:59
  So that's an interesting thought topic, I believe.
• 1:15:03
  And Ukraine is definitely the corruption hub of
• 1:15:07
  NATO, certainly of USAID it was, and it
• 1:15:13
  certainly was of the Obama.
• 1:15:14
  If you take the argument that these guys
• 1:15:16
  are trying, that Trump is trying to destroy
• 1:15:18
  the deep state, this is good stuff.
• 1:15:21
  Ukraine functioned as the laundering device for an
• 1:15:24
  influence hub for Western political corruption, because they're
• 1:15:28
  white, because they're just like us.
• 1:15:30
  They just speak a different language.
• 1:15:32
  I'm telling you, the Eastern people, Eastern Europeans,
• 1:15:39
  they're very much like us.
• 1:15:40
  Russians are very much like us.
• 1:15:42
  They're the same.
• 1:15:43
  There's a natural tendency for people to group
• 1:15:47
  together.
• 1:15:47
  And I don't mean anything badly about it,
• 1:15:51
  but if you're going to pick one, would
• 1:15:52
  you pick Nigeria or would you pick Ukraine?
• 1:15:55
  You think about that.
• 1:15:57
  So these things are what's going on.
• 1:15:59
  Ukraine isn't just a war zone.
• 1:16:02
  It's a financial and political machine.
• 1:16:04
  Grants, contracts, energy projects, NGOs, huge money, intelligence
• 1:16:09
  contacts, party-linked patronage for the Democrat party
• 1:16:12
  are all treated as one huge ecosystem of
• 1:16:16
  corruption, including all the assholes from Ukraine who
• 1:16:19
  made millions on this and their cronies in
• 1:16:23
  the West.
• 1:16:24
  If Trump cannot get what he wants through
• 1:16:26
  foreign policy, he's going to turn and unleash
• 1:16:29
  the anti-corruption investigations to target Democrats, just
• 1:16:33
  like your son said on his show the
• 1:16:36
  other night, Trump Jr. USAID, they're digging in.
• 1:16:40
  Perhaps European partners too.
• 1:16:41
  Ukraine is going to be another battlefield with
• 1:16:46
  a whole slew, cabinets of data and documents.
• 1:16:52
  And it's a hypocrisy.
• 1:16:53
  Europe applies moral selectivity.
• 1:16:56
  Remember Boucha, war crimes, civilian deaths, human rights
• 1:17:00
  treated by them as nothing because, well, it's
• 1:17:04
  against Russia, it's against Iran.
• 1:17:06
  Those are non-humans.
• 1:17:09
  Non-humans.
• 1:17:10
  This is hypocrisy and nonsense.
• 1:17:14
  So remember, we're not going to change Europe.
• 1:17:17
  Europe's going to be ethnically challenged forever, especially
• 1:17:22
  now that they've all opened the borders.
• 1:17:25
  Escalation is the next step.
• 1:17:28
  I'll be very pleased if we don't turn
• 1:17:31
  into a third world war.
• 1:17:34
  But arguably, especially on an economic level, World
• 1:17:40
  War III is upon us.
• 1:17:42
