  They're uh, Maria zakharova and she had one,
• 1:49
  uh, nothing This week's this was actually Several

  I don't remember the exact day that this
• 1:56

• 1:59
  version of 60 minutes they have a 60
• 2:02
  minute program over there, which basically a news
• 2:05
  program I watched a uh news of the
• 2:09
  day from another tv, uh station over there
• 2:12
  that uh, just to see how they uh
• 2:17
  Put together the news these days.
• 2:19
  I watched a guy an economist and he's
• 2:21
  pretty cool He's sometimes on the vladimir soloviev
• 2:24
  show, which I like to see him on
• 2:26
  there His name is michael.
• 2:28
  Kaz kazin kazin.
• 2:30
  I'm not sure the Right stress on his
• 2:33
  last name, but I think it's kazin but
• 2:35
  it might be kazin, uh, but he's an
• 2:37
  economist and uh, it was from uh yesterday
• 2:41
  he gave a a little bit of Consolidated,
• 2:45
  uh economic issues and then uh One of
• 2:50
  the couple of things that are really starting
• 2:52
  to bother me, you know, uh this Venezuela
• 2:56
  deal is driving me batty, I I just
• 3:01
  Can't imagine that.
• 3:03
  Oh, we're doing What it appears to be
• 3:06
  that we're doing there and uh Contemplating regime
• 3:11
  change as if it's our job to uh
• 3:17
  force another country to change a regime I
• 3:23
  All just for the us to do the
• 3:26
  same thing they attempted to do in iraq
• 3:28
  go in and take all the uh all
• 3:30
  the resources, you know, I mean this this
• 3:33
  is This is it it doesn't make it
• 3:36
  better just because it's trump, let's let's let's
• 3:39
  make that perfectly clear Um, i'm i'm pretty
• 3:43
  grumpy about it.
• 3:44
  There was an everest whiteout with a thousand
• 3:48
  people uh stranded there was a Landslide in
• 3:52
  dagestan that cut off a number of villages.
• 3:55
  It's like the whole mountain collapsed and it
• 3:57
  wasn't snow.
• 3:57
  It was the Mountain itself, you know uh
• 4:01
  francis Francis prime minister got offed again.
• 4:07
  Well this guy he just quit and uh,
• 4:09
  macron has convinced him to stay for uh,
• 4:12
  Till wednesday, I think the guy agreed to
• 4:14
  stay till tomorrow.
• 4:16
  We got More problems there, uh ukraine, of
• 4:20
  course has got plenty of issues.
• 4:22
  Uh, moldova is a democratic Nightmare, but one
• 4:26
  of the things I want to go back
• 4:28
  to the un general assembly just a little
• 4:31
  bit There's been a ton of fake news
• 4:35
  out on youtube about the president Of burkina
• 4:39
  fasa giving a speech there and I don't
• 4:41
  understand it, but they were everywhere I mean
• 4:45
  all over And talking about the president saying
• 4:49
  the president of burkina fasa saying that they
• 4:52
  weren't uh going to allow the west to
• 4:57
  steal their gold or other resources anymore and
• 5:00
  it's I mean, although he holds those Ideas
• 5:05
  He wasn't even the one that spoke at
• 5:07
  the un and so You know when I
• 5:10
  saw the news clippings about it in a
• 5:12
  number of different places I went out tried
• 5:14
  to find it because burkina faso they used
• 5:17
  to be french.
• 5:18
  Um as the What do you call it
• 5:21
  the main language in burkina faso?
• 5:23
  But uh now They've they still use french,
• 5:27
  but it's no longer one of the official
• 5:28
  languages and they use for uh, You know
• 5:32
  african languages over there, although they're quite multicultural
• 5:35
  and they also speak english quite a bit
• 5:38
  and so the the allegation was or the
• 5:41
  the the news that there's been I mean
• 5:44
  a bunch of people have you know copied
• 5:47
  various parts of his speech and then like
• 5:51
  they must have aided it to Have him
• 5:54
  speaking in english, but I understand he does
• 5:58
  speak english, but not very well his language
• 6:01
  is french and then he speaks a bunch
• 6:03
  of the uh, the local languages and it's
• 6:06
  like I don't understand who or why is
• 6:10
  creating these Lies online, but you know, I
• 6:13
  just want people to be careful I try
• 6:15
  to be pretty careful when I go out
• 6:17
  and hunt down the news and try to
• 6:20
  you know source it from other places, too
• 6:23
  Uh, but jeez, I don't want it to
• 6:26
  be so bad that I don't trust Trust
• 6:29
  anything from anywhere.
• 6:30
  I don't trust any of the mainstream ones,
• 6:33
  but I still listen to them You know,
• 6:35
  I just make sure to listen to them
• 6:36
  from several different places You know, I still
• 6:39
  I still follow a good amount of uh
• 6:41
  of american news channels as well And so
• 6:45
  at any rate uh jai shankar Uh gave
• 6:49
  and we're gonna listen to a clip of
• 6:51
  uh, jai shankar.
• 6:52
  I I talk about him rather frequently And
• 6:55
  there were two things one's only a four
• 6:57
  minute clip and the other one's 11 and
• 7:00
  I do plan to get to those uh
• 7:02
  today because he is just he has a
• 7:05
  great way of putting things and when you
• 7:08
  see the commentaries afterward and one of them
• 7:10
  is Month old or so.
• 7:12
  The other one was last week at the
• 7:14
  un general assembly where he spoke and I
• 7:18
  think it's it's india I don't I I
• 7:23
  think india has a a great approach and
• 7:27
  and I think he sets off Because these
• 7:31
  western and this one that was a month
• 7:33
  or two ago Uh is a pretty good
• 7:36
  example how western journalists attempted to beat up
• 7:40
  on him And he's just like, you know,
• 7:43
  uh, oh well, you know He put them
• 7:48
  in their place.
• 7:49
  Let's put it that way.
• 7:50
  And so I like watching him I want
• 7:52
  to follow his uh what he did at
• 7:55
  the un just uh in the last few
• 7:57
  days And then I you know, I want
• 7:59
  to talk about a little bit about what's
• 8:01
  going on in france and germany and uh,
• 8:04
  you know, uh diplomacy versus uh, you know,
• 8:08
  the uh forced diplomacy of america in uh,
• 8:12
  Venezuela these days I suppose is where we're
• 8:15
  going with that Rubio goes down tries to
• 8:18
  get the guy to leave and give uh,
• 8:20
  and give uh, all of the uh Oil
• 8:25
  to american companies, you know, and and I
• 8:28
  think I mean my belief is that that
• 8:30
  is in part to put pressure on russia
• 8:34
  Because if the u.s can, you know
• 8:36
  put other pressures on the market then they
• 8:40
  can force the uh, Uh the over supply
• 8:43
  and then what russia has will be less
• 8:45
  valuable allegedly And you know, there's there's a
• 8:49
  lot of stuff going on um, and i'm
• 8:52
  not so sure That trump and company Are
• 8:57
  the good guys on the international stage?
• 9:00
  Um, i've worried about us for a long
• 9:03
  time and I I always worry about us.
• 9:07
  It's just Uh frustrating to me on the
• 9:10
  trump and venezuela, we'll get to that a
• 9:13
  little bit later in the show, but what
• 9:16
  I thought I would start with would be
• 9:19
  the burkina faso the guy that You know
• 9:23
  regardless of all the nonsense on the internet
• 9:26
  right now being posted about this young.
• 9:30
  Um, President Traore or however, you pronounce his
• 9:35
  name.
• 9:36
  He's he's pretty pretty impressive to watch and
• 9:39
  to listen to if you get the correct
• 9:42
  translations, but i'm I'm afraid of them, you
• 9:45
  know, I take take most of that with
• 9:47
  a little bit of grain of salt.
• 9:49
  However most of the west You know, they
• 9:53
  a lot of countries in africa have booted
• 9:55
  out the french.
• 9:56
  They're anti-colonialist and they've been trying to
• 10:00
  Profit from their own resources what the u
• 10:03
  .s is allegedly Seems to be attempting to
• 10:07
  do in venezuela The people in africa have
• 10:10
  been booting out the europeans over the last
• 10:12
  few years and accepting russia india china to
• 10:19
  come in and fund them or or help
• 10:21
  back them or Trade with them without telling
• 10:25
  them what they will do and without installing
• 10:28
  a western company in a western, uh financial
• 10:32
  system, so And burkina faso is no No
• 10:38
  exception to that rule and what it looks
• 10:42
  like is that there's kind of a reality
• 10:44
  check going on in the world for the
• 10:47
  west And I you know, yes, it has
• 10:50
  to do with bricks countries.
• 10:52
  It has to do with the global south
• 10:55
  Definitely has to go with the countries of
• 10:57
  the shanghai cooperation Organization has to do with
• 11:01
  with russia india china that's turning into a
• 11:05
  stronger and stronger uh block between the The
• 11:09
  two.
• 11:10
  Oh, um, I meant to say that I
• 11:12
  and I missed this it's on my little
• 11:14
  list here, uh to speak about Tomahawk missiles
• 11:18
  as well.
• 11:19
  I mean what kind of a nightmare is
• 11:21
  that?
• 11:22
  You don't know whether he authorized him or
• 11:24
  not.
• 11:25
  Well, i'm not sure what went on with
• 11:27
  that It's it's like he seemed a little
• 11:30
  confused on the stage today and yesterday when
• 11:33
  talking about these issues Well, i'm really you
• 11:35
  know, I think I I think I was
• 11:37
  gonna give them to nato But I guess
• 11:39
  we got to see where we're going with
• 11:40
  those Something is screwy going on here.
• 11:44
  You either gotta cut.
• 11:45
  Yeah.
• 11:45
  Well, don't get me started on that topic
• 11:48
  I probably won't leave it but let's talk
• 11:50
  about who from from burkina burkina fasa who
• 11:53
  actually talked because what's been going on for
• 11:55
  generations is the Gold For the from these
• 12:01
  places which is one of their biggest assets
• 12:03
  has been funneled to the west And now
• 12:06
  they want to funnel it keep it themselves
• 12:09
  keep it in africa or you know Sell
• 12:11
  it as they see fit and they're doing
• 12:13
  other things So who spoke at the u
• 12:16
  .n. General assembly this year That the general
• 12:19
  debate was prime minister rimtolba gene emmanuel odryego
• 12:27
  Not president traore And so the viral clips
• 12:32
  of traore everywhere on the u.n. Generally
• 12:35
  general assembly stage Promising the west isn't going
• 12:40
  to get any gold are just I don't
• 12:43
  know what motivational remixes.
• 12:45
  He does have that theme, but it sure
• 12:47
  wasn't in the General assembly this year.
• 12:51
  The policy is definitely real and they rewrote
• 12:54
  their mining code in 2024 to expand their
• 12:58
  own state stake and they asserted preemptive rights
• 13:03
  and nationalized a bunch of Assets and they
• 13:06
  said they were going to continue to do
• 13:08
  so if there are going to be any
• 13:09
  disputes Trading halts and company panics followed As
• 13:16
  they want a more than 50 percent control
• 13:18
  in their own Projects and what that means
• 13:22
  it's not a blanket export ban, but resource
• 13:26
  Nationalism with a great deal of teeth.
• 13:28
  They're going to take a Higher state take
• 13:31
  tighter controls and strategic equity.
• 13:33
  So in plain English Burkina Faso is not
• 13:37
  going to be controlled by the west anymore
• 13:40
  But the meme goes way too far, you
• 13:43
  know The substance is real most of the
• 13:46
  capitals in the sahel are telling paris and
• 13:48
  london, you know, no more No more colonialism.
• 13:52
  We're we're we're out And so I think
• 13:55
  that's important for people to know um this
• 14:00
  Uh, why don't we jump into the trump
• 14:03
  just because it's freaking driving me nuts That
• 14:08
  uh, you know, washington has declared a non
• 14:12
  -international armed conflict Now, what does that mean?
• 14:17
  I mean you're here making up terms.
• 14:20
  I mean there i've read several reports today
• 14:23
  that say there's some sort of a top
• 14:26
  secret document that says that uh, They can
• 14:31
  go to war against these cartels because of
• 14:34
  a threat to america and american security So
• 14:38
  you can blow up a speedboat in the
• 14:40
  middle of the ocean without any sort of
• 14:46
  Let's say I mean imagine you're out in
• 14:48
  your boat and on the uh, Lake of
• 14:51
  the ozarks and all of a sudden somebody
• 14:53
  has decided from washington That you're a drug
• 14:57
  dealer Maybe you are a drug dealer.
• 14:59
  I don't know Maybe you're a drug dealer
• 15:01
  and you're you know headed to you know,
• 15:03
  wherever drug dealers go with their boats on
• 15:05
  the lake and the uh President decided he
• 15:10
  was advised that hey, there's a drug dealer
• 15:13
  out there cruising around.
• 15:14
  He's a criminal therefore Military blow that a
• 15:19
  -hole up.
• 15:20
  He's not going to be a threat to
• 15:21
  other people.
• 15:22
  Why because I donald trump said so I
• 15:25
  I You know Bad people exist and they
• 15:30
  need to be brought to justice, but you
• 15:32
  don't just go blow up a boat in
• 15:35
  the middle of the ocean, you know, and
• 15:37
  it's it's Not my idea justice just isn't
• 15:41
  okay and uh, and nobody's You declare war
• 15:46
  on a private individual you declare war on
• 15:50
  venezuela.
• 15:51
  How do you do that without?
• 15:53
  The congress I I am not for this
• 15:56
  in any stretch maybe someone can call and
• 15:58
  encourage me to change my mind, but I
• 16:00
  freaking doubt it and uh, Because it just
• 16:03
  this this is a little bit of a
• 16:06
  bridge too far for me And I and
• 16:09
  I don't like it and I see Too
• 16:12
  much of this stuff more and more.
• 16:15
  I mean, there's four boats blown up.
• 16:17
  Come on So you're labeling these operatives Unlawful
• 16:22
  combatants and then so therefore you get a
• 16:25
  carry out a lethal strike on an alleged
• 16:28
  smuggling boat in the caribbean Not in venezuela
• 16:32
  in the caribbean.
• 16:34
  No trial.
• 16:35
  No civilian venezuelan death Reported or i'm sorry
• 16:39
  and civilian venezuelan death reported by regional leaders
• 16:43
  He now has cut off diplomatic ties diplomatic
• 16:47
  outreach as of today allegedly And is weighing
• 16:51
  making strikes inside of venezuela Now what are
• 16:57
  we complaining about vladimir putin for then Let
• 17:03
  the guy do what he wants I mean
• 17:05
  if we're gonna go blow up stuff in
• 17:07
  iran, which you know, trump did that's no
• 17:10
  problem.
• 17:10
  Netanyahu wants it.
• 17:12
  Well Go ahead have fun, you know, you
• 17:14
  want to do it yourself in uh, uh
• 17:17
  venezuela Oh, geez, you know, go ahead.
• 17:20
  Sure.
• 17:20
  We can justify that That's that's perfectly legal,
• 17:23
  but it's not okay If your name is
• 17:27
  vladimir vladimirovich putin I don't Once again rules
• 17:33
  for thee but not for me and uh,
• 17:36
  definitely no rules for uh, israel zero A
• 17:39
  war powers act.
• 17:42
  It's a dodge.
• 17:43
  There's a supposedly a Some sort of authority
• 17:48
  to Sidestep lawmakers are demanding a war power
• 17:54
  vote, you know and targeted killing as a
• 17:57
  policy.
• 17:57
  This is not police police work at all
• 18:02
  regime change publicly, it's cartels Practically it boxes
• 18:07
  in maduro chokes oil flexibility for moscow's friends
• 18:13
  And signals to opec that op washington wants
• 18:16
  its leverage back.
• 18:18
  How are they going to get it?
• 18:19
  Start another war.
• 18:20
  This is what we do.
• 18:21
  What are the risks of this?
• 18:23
  They're huge maritime Misidentification escalation on shore and
• 18:28
  sanction spiral that pushes caracas further into bricks
• 18:32
  plus states And and columbia's petro even called
• 18:36
  for a criminal case over the killings So
• 18:40
  it's not like The other side isn't saying
• 18:43
  it, you know for me.
• 18:45
  It's the same old playbook With a new
• 18:48
  player new hashtags if you bomb first and
• 18:50
  brief later, you're not fighting drugs You're auditioning
• 18:55
  for another forever war and oil repricing you
• 18:59
  know Calling cartels unlawful combatants Is it?
• 19:05
  A necessity for our security.
• 19:08
  I don't think so or is it?
• 19:10
  a legal fig leaf You know, does this
• 19:13
  help us families?
• 19:15
  I don't think so unless those families are
• 19:18
  on wall street you know those people who
• 19:21
  you know that get to uh Move in
• 19:23
  and take over oil If the u.s
• 19:26
  does it again You know here we are
• 19:29
  it's embarrassing to me these type of things
• 19:32
  to to Once again, we're really not that
• 19:36
  stupid, you know, I I assume people think
• 19:40
  we are but Once again, it's all about
• 19:44
  the oil and i'm i'm just i'm not
• 19:47
  happy with this I am Distressed by it
• 19:51
  and I don't like it.
• 19:53
  So Let's go to a little bit about
• 20:00
  Ukraine and tomahawks as long as we're on
• 20:03
  the topic so tomahawks storm shadows Taurus missiles
• 20:09
  ukraine now allegedly they've been trying to manufacture
• 20:13
  some Inside of ukraine.
• 20:16
  There's been a big effort lately to uh,
• 20:18
  have Ukraine Manufacture its own weapons inside of
• 20:23
  ukraine and russia's been bombing the crap out
• 20:26
  of alleged factories once they find out Where
• 20:31
  the factory is who's getting them?
• 20:33
  There was a big report from I want
• 20:35
  to say the uh, wall street journal today
• 20:38
  that corruption is still extremely alive and well
• 20:41
  in um ukraine especially in the military industrial
• 20:47
  Complex if you can call it that that
• 20:49
  they're overpaying for everything Massively, you know way
• 20:54
  overpaying and a few individuals are getting rich,
• 20:58
  but they don't have to produce anything Because
• 21:01
  it's always getting blown up.
• 21:03
  So Put a put a fake factory up
• 21:06
  there wait for russia to blow it up
• 21:08
  pocket the money and move on That appears
• 21:11
  to be what's happening more than anything else.
• 21:14
  So what's the u.s?
• 21:15
  You know, what's the old trump meister doing?
• 21:17
  He's gonna go out and uh say well
• 21:20
  i'm considering these tomahawks I think I might
• 21:23
  have approved them, but you know, I really
• 21:24
  don't know I have to go see I
• 21:27
  may have sold them to nato and nato
• 21:29
  might give them to ukraine friends and neighbors
• 21:32
  ukraine cannot target these weapons without u s
• 21:39
  Intelligence just like they can't target the storm
• 21:43
  shadow Or the tourists without britain.
• 21:47
  There's one other one.
• 21:47
  I forget the name of it But well
• 21:49
  the whatever the equivalent is from france england
• 21:53
  and germany They must have the targeting data
• 21:56
  and the people To target it the intelligence
• 22:00
  that comes in that is why russia keeps
• 22:02
  saying This is an escalation beyond What what
• 22:08
  there is so far and It means that
• 22:12
  we you know We always say that this
• 22:15
  is a war against nato anyway, because basically
• 22:18
  we're fighting the whole of nato Nobody even
• 22:21
  hides it anymore and everything that they talk
• 22:24
  about is funding Funding nato germany today ray

• 22:39
  give billions and billions to ukraine I don't
• 22:43

• 22:45
  to put up with it, especially when if

• 23:33
  go anywhere and they will all provide you
• 23:36
  money if you are a refugee from ukraine
• 23:40
  Poland had a deal the uh, a couple
• 23:42
  of weeks ago that they were saying they
• 23:45
  were going to start a recruiting station for
• 23:47
  young Uh, well, not young because the young
• 23:51
  ones aren't being picked up in ukraine.
• 23:53
  They are uh opening them Recruiting stations in
• 23:57
  poland for young for ukrainian men To be
• 24:01
  mobilized And now they're going to start picking
• 24:04
  them up in poland, too unbelievable um I
• 24:09
  don't know but all the ukraine's uh, uh,
• 24:12
  it is not adding up.
• 24:14
  There's uh, they want to take strikes deep
• 24:17
  into russia russia's bombing the crap out of
• 24:20
  all their uh, all of ukraine's uh Energy
• 24:25
  supply and uh anything gas, uh Of gas,
• 24:33
  um points, you know where they process gas
• 24:36
  and deliver gas to the public it's going
• 24:39
  to be a bad winter for them over
• 24:41
  there and they Are taken out.
• 24:45
  Um Airfields, they're taking out water.
• 24:50
  They're taking out everything and uh, Well, and
• 24:53
  they claim that and it's true, too because
• 24:57
  russia bombed the hell out of harkiv today
• 24:59
  because harkiv is across the border from uh,
• 25:03
  belgrade and uh, they Kiev did the same
• 25:08
  thing So they're sending over all these places
• 25:10
  to bomb the crap out of belgrade because
• 25:12
  they can reach it from there That's what
• 25:14
  they want to do with all these long
• 25:17
  -range missiles They want to bombard russia and
• 25:21
  their air defense with drones just like russia
• 25:23
  does to ukraine And then send in the
• 25:26
  bigger guns of these missiles and blow up
• 25:29
  russia's ability for oil if donald trump does
• 25:32
  this He's doing it to get he's going
• 25:36
  to allow ukraine and with us targeting to
• 25:41
  go and blow up russian oil refineries and
• 25:45
  russian Processing or pipeline points where this is
• 25:50
  Provided and delivered so that he can cut
• 25:54
  the supply India and china won't quit buying.
• 25:57
  Well fine.
• 25:58
  We'll blow up the uh, the points is
• 26:01
  what it appears He's thinking by this Missile
• 26:06
  nonsense, which is exactly what nato's wants and
• 26:09
  nato wants all these idiots in nato This
• 26:13
  is what they want.
• 26:14
  They want to pay triple for gas and
• 26:16
  then they can sanctions aren't working So and
• 26:20
  and they're paying double for their own gas,
• 26:23
  you know They're paying hell of a lot
• 26:25
  higher to get it from the u.s
• 26:27
  Than they ever would have been from russia
• 26:29
  And so they now With with and they're
• 26:33
  trying to talk the old trumpster into it
• 26:35
  and hell they might have done it by
• 26:36
  now This is the indications that he's given
• 26:39
  out And this is dangerous, this is extremely
• 26:43
  dangerous and our president is also involved Remember
• 26:48
  i'm generally a trump Backer, you know, he's
• 26:53
  hell of a lot better than the alternative
• 26:54
  that we've had for four years you know
• 26:56
  a hell of a lot better, but uh,
• 26:58
  you know There's a few things Well mostly
• 27:03
  on the international level that I just disagree
• 27:05
  with I don't think on the world stage
• 27:07
  We're playing well with others, but ukraine their
• 27:10
  their math doesn't add up their own domestic
• 27:14
  Production was damaged in poltova and lvov kiv
• 27:17
  has to import gas this winter and where
• 27:19
  are they gonna get it?
• 27:21
  Where are they gonna get it?
• 27:23
  Realistically, that means 10 by u.s. Liquid
• 27:26
  natural gas via poland and 90 They're gonna
• 27:30
  have to get from where?
• 27:33
  Slovakia and hungary The same russian gas laundered
• 27:39
  through slovakia and hungary and priced up Europe
• 27:43
  foots the bill tells their voters the opposite
• 27:46
  tells voters.
• 27:47
  We're just getting rid of russian gas.
• 27:49
  We're not going to use it And so
• 27:51
  these you know There there's there's uh news
• 27:56
  about mega deal fantasies over the winter like
• 27:59
  kiev is saying There's a 90 billion dollar
• 28:02
  us new arms package And they're boasting that
• 28:05
  they're going to get more patriots and mirages
• 28:09
  um meanwhile the uh europe's annual ukraine, you
• 28:15
  know bern Berlin alone is saying they got
• 28:18
  it that they're going to give nine billion
• 28:21
  to ukraine this year Ukraine is ukraine can't
• 28:25
  afford anything.
• 28:26
  They can't afford their own salary There's a
• 28:28
  lot of people getting a lot of rich,
• 28:29
  you know a lot of rich and they're
• 28:32
  getting it from handouts um You know, there's
• 28:37
  ukrainian fighters who made attacks on civilians and
• 28:41
  you know foreign mercenaries that were picked up
• 28:44
  And surrendered into russia Some of them are
• 28:48
  being charged in uh, uh put in prison
• 28:52
  Um, oh, yeah, and there was big news
• 28:54
  on the stolen children that allegedly the stolen
• 28:58
  children once again Uh, this was from maria
• 29:01
  zakharova today Uh, or well, i'm sorry this
• 29:04
  last uh speech of hers that once again
• 29:07
  the stolen children script has been rolled out
• 29:10
  in Kiev has now admitted that it doesn't
• 29:14
  have the list The very list it says,
• 29:17
  you know, there's 20 000 kids that were
• 29:19
  stolen.
• 29:20
  It doesn't have the list and they uh,
• 29:23
  they um You know, there are some documented
• 29:28
  family reunifications about 300 But there's nowhere near
• 29:32
  20 000, right?
• 29:35
  And uh the un in the un this
• 29:39
  this was was the one of the big,
• 29:41
  um, what do you call it?
• 29:43
  um Memes that came out just uh from
• 29:46
  the un general assembly And they wanted a
• 29:49
  kiv friendly tv Um kiv not kid if
• 29:54
  I said kid I didn't mean to but
• 29:56
  uh kiv Friendly ukraine friendly They were splicing
• 30:00
  in crowds to mask half empty halls Nobody
• 30:06
  cares anymore.
• 30:07
  They're they're tired of ukraine at the un2
• 30:11
  and so, you know, it's uh It's just
• 30:14
  the pattern is getting pretty simple.
• 30:16
  The pr is always maxed in favor of
• 30:20
  ukraine The supply lines, however are quite strained
• 30:24
  and they're gonna have to Uh do something
• 30:28
  over the winter.
• 30:29
  What are they gonna do european elites can
• 30:32
  admit that their gas is russian Which it
• 30:36
  is if it comes through hungary or slovakia
• 30:40
  Or keep paying a premium to the us
• 30:43
  and pretend.
• 30:44
  It's not one either way The households are
• 30:47
  paying twice as much as they would for
• 30:49
  gas And so it's just if it's the
• 30:51
  same gas should european taxpayers subsidized clown show
• 30:58
  I mean what this is nonsense and where's
• 31:01
  the ethical line between uh sanctions, what do
• 31:05
  you call it?
• 31:06
  cancellation of people or virtue signaling about sanctions
• 31:12
  And energy security and I think it's it's
• 31:16
  very important at this point Is is to
• 31:19
  where we go into jai shankar in his
• 31:22
  speech specifically on this topic and I wish
• 31:28
  that our politicians here would Speak like this
• 31:34
  guy speaks.
• 31:35
  Okay, you don't have to agree with him.
• 31:37
  You know, I don't really give a rip
• 31:39
  You know, I don't agree with everything he
• 31:41
  says But uh, he's pretty he's pretty solid
• 31:44
  with some of the things he says And
• 31:47
  so first i'm gonna play this I believe
• 31:50
  it's an 11 minute piece and this one
• 31:54
  was actually What was the time frame on
• 31:58
  this?
• 32:00
  Um blah blah blah blah July yeah, it
• 32:04
  was a couple of months ago.
• 32:05
  July the 23rd and uh he was appearing
• 32:10
  at a a Press conference with a lot
• 32:17
  of A lot of people these are several
• 32:21
  different tracks combined together because first He they
• 32:25
  were trying to beat up on him with
• 32:26
  a western journalist who gets to talk about
• 32:28
  how he's not He's not Uh, well he's
• 32:34
  he's not I don't know defending ukraine.
• 32:39
  He's not condemning russia like he should be
• 32:42
  and and they're you know Basically yelling at
• 32:44
  him, you know, it's like how can you
• 32:46
  possibly say that?
• 32:47
  You know that you can do this and
• 32:49
  jai shankar just sits there with his hands
• 32:51
  folded, you know and says well first of
• 32:53
  all well, i'll let you listen to him
• 32:56
  because it's if you haven't listened to him
• 32:58
  in the past you really ought to because
• 33:01
  he's uh, he's uh quite bright and it
• 33:04
  would be very nice if some of our
• 33:08
  Politicians said similar things So here we go
• 33:13
  Um, how do you think you'll be trusted
• 33:15
  by others after that?
• 33:17
  Why do you think anyone will help?
• 33:19
  delhi After you didn't help others over ukraine.
• 33:22
  Thank you First I would urge you to
• 33:24
  get the factual position accurately that I come
• 33:28
  in in one conflict Because it will help
• 33:30
  me in conflict too.
• 33:31
  That's not how the world works.
• 33:33
  Where does india fit into this picture?
• 33:35
  Are you planning to not?
• 33:36
  No, i'm sorry.
• 33:37
  That is exactly where I disagree with you
• 33:39
  This is this is the construct you are
• 33:41
  trying to impose on me and I don't
• 33:43
  accept it You cannot also sit on the
• 33:45
  fence.
• 33:45
  I look I don't think we're sitting on
• 33:47
  the fence just because I don't agree with
• 33:49
  you Doesn't make me sitting on the fence.
• 33:51
  It means i'm sitting on my ground uh,
• 33:54
  dr josh and car, um with the the
• 33:57
  indian government essentially ignoring Uh war crimes in
• 34:01
  ukraine not condemning russia not doing sanctions um
• 34:05
  question you then expect i'm totally sorry, I
• 34:08
  know what I do, uh with uh, the
• 34:11
  with india counting on global support for uh
• 34:15
  in its struggle with china its issues with
• 34:19
  china Um, how do you think you'll be
• 34:21
  trusted by others after that?
• 34:24
  Why do you think anyone will help?
• 34:26
  delhi After you didn't help others over ukraine.
• 34:29
  Thank you You know, it's a interesting question
• 34:33
  which you might I mean not you meaning
• 34:35
  you personally uh, but uh people might want
• 34:39
  to ask themselves because If I were to
• 34:41
  take europe collectively, which has been singularly silent
• 34:45
  on many things which were happening For example
• 34:47
  in asia, you could ask why would anybody
• 34:49
  in asia trust europe on anything at all?
• 34:52
  Uh, so here's the take uh, I I
• 34:55
  don't think uh I mean first of all
• 34:59
  I think you're mischaracterizing our position Uh where
• 35:04
  we've where they have for example when butcher
• 35:06
  happened we condemned butcher And we actually asked
• 35:10
  for an investigation uh into butcher in terms
• 35:14
  of What is happening with the ukraine conflict
• 35:17
  our position is very clearly that we favor
• 35:19
  uh An immediate cessation of hostilities.
• 35:23
  It's not that we've ignored it unless you
• 35:26
  call Phone calls to putin and zelensky as
• 35:29
  ignoring something Uh, so first I would urge
• 35:33
  you to get the factual position accurately secondly
• 35:37
  in terms of the connection you're making look
• 35:43
  You know, we we have a difficult relationship
• 35:46
  with china We're perfectly capable of managing it
• 35:50
  it's uh If if I get global Uh
• 35:55
  understanding and support obviously it is of help
• 35:57
  to me But this idea that I do
• 36:00
  a transaction That I come in in one
• 36:03
  conflict because it will help me in conflict
• 36:06
  too.
• 36:06
  That's not how the world works uh, so
• 36:09
  A lot of our problems in china have
• 36:12
  nothing to do with ukraine have nothing to
• 36:14
  do with russia.
• 36:14
  They predate it And there are I mean
• 36:17
  if we are getting into who is silent
• 36:20
  on what issue at what point of time?
• 36:22
  I could point to a whole lot of
• 36:23
  issues on which as I said, I mean
• 36:26
  europe has sort of Held its peace so
• 36:31
  I mean, it's it's a great Polemical point
• 36:35
  you made So I take it in that
• 36:37
  spirit I think as a follow-up to
• 36:40
  that a lot of uh, the noises i've
• 36:42
  been hearing both in the united states and
• 36:44
  here in europe is on a similar train
• 36:47
  that You have a problem with china, uh
• 36:50
  on the in the border on the border
• 36:52
  it's been going on for Decades now it
• 36:55
  is getting worse What position does that leave
• 36:58
  you in when it comes to seeking support
• 37:00
  if further incursions are done further?
• 37:03
  skirmishes happen at the border or within the
• 37:06
  border to kind of echo what's happening in
• 37:08
  ukraine in terms of Sovereignty issues that are
• 37:10
  being raised.
• 37:11
  Um, so I'm sorry.
• 37:13
  Do you mind if I interrupt?
• 37:14
  Please do but I want I want to
• 37:15
  come back to a question.
• 37:17
  Um The the crux of the question which
• 37:19
  I asked a few people in um, uh
• 37:22
  in the political circles in the financial circles
• 37:24
  What's your big question?
• 37:26
  And one of the foremost geopolitical strategists on
• 37:28
  wall street sent me this question for you
• 37:30
  And the question is simple if and when
• 37:32
  the choice comes down to it Not today
• 37:34
  not tomorrow, but in the future and she
• 37:36
  strongly believes it will for india Will it
• 37:39
  become in terms of support the us or
• 37:43
  china?
• 37:43
  And that will be kind of a defining
• 37:46
  moment that comes out of the situation that
• 37:48
  we face with russia right now look, uh
• 37:52
  Uh, number one, uh, the you know why
• 37:56
  I wanted to uh interrupt you in a
• 37:58
  way I mean i'm partly reacting to the
• 38:02
  previous observation You know somewhere europe has to
• 38:06
  grow out of the mindset That europe's problems
• 38:10
  are the world's problems But the world's problems
• 38:14
  are not europe's problems That it's if it
• 38:17
  is you it's yours.
• 38:19
  It is me.
• 38:20
  It's ours I think that's something And I
• 38:23
  see, you know reflections of that uh Again
• 38:28
  in terms of you know, you there is
• 38:30
  a linkage today, which is being made You
• 38:33
  know a linkage between china and india and
• 38:36
  what's happening in ukraine So come on guys,
• 38:39
  I mean china and india happened way before
• 38:41
  anything happened in ukraine so the chinese don't
• 38:44
  need a precedent somewhere else in the world
• 38:46
  on how to You know engage us or
• 38:49
  not engage us or be difficult with us
• 38:51
  or not be difficult with us So I
• 38:53
  I as I said, I mean, I just
• 38:55
  see this as frankly a not very clever
• 38:57
  argument a very self-serving one and uh
• 39:02
  this idea that you know Your grand strategy
• 39:07
  must be about how you will choose I
• 39:11
  will do what as all of us do
• 39:14
  I will weigh the situation, you know, like
• 39:17
  Everybody after what do how do countries eventually
• 39:20
  make decisions?
• 39:22
  There will always be two axes at this
• 39:24
  point I think it's an it's an understood
• 39:26
  accepted fact that you have the west u
• 39:28
  .s led you have china as the next
• 39:31
  Potential axis, where does india fit into this?
• 39:34
  Are you planning to not no?
• 39:36
  I'm, sorry, that is exactly where I disagree
• 39:38
  with you This is this is the construct
• 39:40
  you are trying to impose on me and
• 39:42
  I don't accept it Is becoming a key
• 39:44
  point for a transshipment of russian oil to
• 39:46
  bypass, uh sanctions.
• 39:48
  How does that serve india's foreign policy interests?
• 39:52
  I don't know Does whoever wrote that knows
• 39:56
  what transshipment means?
• 39:57
  Well, I mean transshipment is when you get
• 39:59
  it no when you get it and you
• 40:01
  sell it to somebody else I I've not
• 40:04
  even heard of anybody in india Thinking along
• 40:09
  those lines So yes, we do by saying
• 40:12
  the wall street journal report is inaccurate that
• 40:14
  they're quoting.
• 40:15
  Uh, Politely.
• 40:17
  Yes.
• 40:17
  Okay So I can say it less politely,
• 40:20
  but I'm not a conduit to any russian
• 40:23
  oil transactions.
• 40:24
  No not I mean listen Please understand the
• 40:27
  oil markets.
• 40:27
  There's an enormous shortage of oil There's a
• 40:30
  physical shortage of oil getting access to oil
• 40:32
  is difficult.
• 40:34
  I mean A country like india would be
• 40:36
  crazy to get oil from somebody and sell
• 40:38
  it to somebody else.
• 40:39
  I mean, this is nonsense what will or
• 40:42
  what is india's position on the world stage
• 40:45
  because if you Want to talk about one
• 40:48
  -fifth of the world's population You cannot also
• 40:51
  sit on the fence when it comes to
• 40:53
  foreign policy matters uh, non-alignment isn't Plausible
• 40:57
  if you want to take your position on
• 40:59
  the world stage What does it look like
• 41:01
  with three years of your government left approximately?
• 41:04
  Um, and what's up this time?
• 41:05
  Oh, oh two years actually two years Thank
• 41:08
  you for the correction or even in the
• 41:10
  next decade or so.
• 41:11
  What is india's position?
• 41:13
  Sitting on the fence is not an option
• 41:14
  to be a world leader I look I
• 41:16
  don't think we're sitting on the fence just
• 41:18
  because I don't agree with you Doesn't make
• 41:20
  me sitting on the fence.
• 41:22
  It means i'm sitting on my ground and
• 41:24
  my ground is actually You know, if what
• 41:28
  are the big challenges of the world, okay
• 41:30
  big challenges of the world are climate change
• 41:33
  I think i'm very critical to the solution.
• 41:36
  I can be an exemplar.
• 41:37
  I can be Actually an arena for an
• 41:41
  enormous leapfrogging of green technologies Look at terrorism
• 41:46
  Look at the emergence of a world order
• 41:50
  uh Look at security Look at sustainable development
• 41:55
  goals.
• 41:55
  I mean you take any And all of
• 41:59
  the big challenges of the world some part
• 42:01
  of the answer either comes out of india
• 42:03
  can be contributed to india and again, I
• 42:06
  I I hate to say, you know come
• 42:08
  it's a bit like a broken record, but
• 42:10
  Look, a lot of things are happening outside
• 42:14
  uh europe uh, we have Partly because of
• 42:18
  climate change for a lot of humanitarian natural
• 42:21
  disasters humanitarian responses in our part of the
• 42:24
  world today uh A lot of people look
• 42:27
  to us to help out The days when
• 42:30
  they expected europe to come which europe did
• 42:33
  at the 2004 tsunami the difference today is
• 42:36
  nobody's even Thinking of that anymore So the
• 42:40
  world is changing new players are coming new
• 42:43
  capabilities are coming but a new agenda must
• 42:46
  come The world cannot be that eurocentric as
• 42:49
  it used to be in the past and
• 42:51
  who will india Play with will it be
• 42:54
  europe and the us or will it be
• 42:56
  china and russia?
• 42:57
  Look, they're not exclusion.
• 42:59
  They're not exclusionary, but we are a democracy
• 43:03
  We are a market economy.
• 43:04
  We are a pluralistic society we have laws
• 43:08
  and contracts we Have positions on international law
• 43:14
  So I think that should give you a
• 43:16
  fair part of the answer after all you
• 43:18
  began the question with reference to the quad
• 43:21
  I mean, even though we didn't get much
• 43:23
  time to talk about it, but the fact
• 43:25
  that you have Today a grouping like the
• 43:29
  quad We just had its summit in tokyo
• 43:33
  where very important decisions were made on connectivity
• 43:37
  on telecommunications on supply chains on cyber security
• 43:41
  on in fact on maritime domain awareness It
• 43:46
  should tell you something which direction we're going.
• 43:49
  So again, I urge you that don't use
• 43:52
  necessarily a caricature version of one situation as
• 43:57
  a yardstick to pass a sweeping judgment because
• 44:00
  even on ukraine Do do reflect on this
• 44:04
  point somewhere at some point surely the conflict
• 44:08
  has to end Somebody will have to you
• 44:11
  know a set of people It cannot be
• 44:14
  a single country probably not we'll have to
• 44:17
  engage the players.
• 44:18
  It is our collective interest To find some
• 44:21
  kind of resolution Unless you're throwing up your
• 44:24
  hands and say this is not fixable So
• 44:26
  at that point, I I think people will
• 44:29
  need us It says a diplomat a career
• 44:32
  diplomat turned politician Than diplomacy and keep going
• 44:36
  with it.
• 44:37
  Thank you very much minister for joining us
• 44:39
  and thank you all for so I like
• 44:41
  listening to that guy and he Basically is
• 44:45
  saying I mean and he was pretty clear
• 44:48
  about it, you know quit Quit turning everything
• 44:51
  into europe, you know, you ignore us basically
• 44:54
  and he wasn't very harsh about it You
• 44:56
  know, he was uh, he was pretty decent
• 44:59
  about it, you know, um He was a
• 45:01
  little rude to the first guy, but the
• 45:03
  first guy was a Dork anyway, you know
• 45:07
  Can't believe you know, you're you're you're not
• 45:09
  condemning russia.
• 45:11
  You're buying their oil.
• 45:12
  Well, they're still buying their oil and uh,
• 45:15
  I believe that they are Passing it through
• 45:18
  to other players as well, but he is
• 45:20
  absolutely right that the large bulk of it
• 45:23
  is being used in india And you know,
• 45:26
  he's been pretty vocal about this over the
• 45:28
  entire three and a half year plus Conflict
• 45:35
  that india is going to do What's in
• 45:39
  its best interests?
• 45:41
  And he also talked about the quad.
• 45:44
  So the quad is is the u.s
• 45:46
  india japan and australia that is the quad
• 45:51
  and he was talking about them and how
• 45:52
  they are a strong regional player well so
• 45:57
  is Uh, the shanghai cooperation organization that india
• 46:02
  is an integral part of with china with
• 46:05
  russia with kazakhstan with many of those countries
• 46:08
  in the Southeast of asia and there are
• 46:12
  big players in there too, and they're not
• 46:15
  just going to Bend over he was saying
• 46:19
  we're not going to play How do you
• 46:23
  like that the arrogance of the question that
• 46:27
  we have to is That somehow there's going
• 46:31
  to be two axes, right?
• 46:33
  There's going to be a china and russia
• 46:37
  and a u.s and europe That this
• 46:41
  is you know, sorry.
• 46:42
  This is what it is We have we've
• 46:44
  created the bad guys versus the good guys
• 46:46
  and there must be conflict India is opting
• 46:51
  out And saying no, we don't want conflict
• 46:53
  with any of you Why can we not?
• 46:56
  Work on this side with you know When
• 46:59
  here it's profitable for us to work together
• 47:03
  and over here It's profitable to work with
• 47:06
  you or or somebody else or a different
• 47:09
  player And I think it's important.
• 47:12
  I wanted to get to his more recent
• 47:15
  uh Discussion which came out.
• 47:18
  Um At the un Where are we on
• 47:22
  this?
• 47:22
  Uh, let's see, I want to make and
• 47:25
  this one's only five minutes long, it's not
• 47:27
  very long and uh, so Let's see and
• 47:32
  he he uh Well, this is this is
• 47:37
  this just passed, you know, eight ten days
• 47:40
  ago.
• 47:40
  Not very long ago Uh, here we go
• 47:45
  excellencies friends Uh, thank you all for joining
• 47:50
  us, uh this afternoon uh We meet in
• 47:55
  increasingly uncertain times When the state of the
• 47:59
  world is a cause for mounting concern for
• 48:03
  member states The global south in particular Is
• 48:08
  confronted with a set of challenges which have
• 48:10
  heightened in the first half of this decade
• 48:14
  They include the shocks of the covid pandemic
• 48:18
  two major conflicts in ukraine and gaza extreme
• 48:23
  climate events volatility in trade uncertainty in investment
• 48:30
  flows and interest rates And the catastrophic slowing
• 48:34
  down of the sdg agenda Most of all
• 48:38
  the rights and expectations of developing countries in
• 48:42
  the international system Which has been so assiduously
• 48:46
  developed over many many decades are today under
• 48:50
  challenge In face of such proliferation of concerns
• 48:55
  and multiplicity of risks It is natural that
• 48:59
  the global south would turn to multilateralism for
• 49:02
  solutions Unfortunately There too.
• 49:07
  We are presented with a very disappointing prospect
• 49:10
  The very concept of multilateralism is under attack
• 49:15
  International organizations are being rendered ineffective or starved
• 49:19
  of resources The building blocks of the contemporary
• 49:23
  order are starting to come apart And the
• 49:27
  costs of delaying much needed reforms Is today
• 49:30
  starkly visible?
• 49:33
  So as like-minded global south countries We
• 49:38
  today approach world affairs united and through a
• 49:43
  broad set of principles and concepts And these
• 49:46
  include one Fair and transparent economic practices that
• 49:51
  democratize production and enhance economic security a stable
• 49:56
  environment for balanced and sustainable economic interactions including
• 50:01
  more south-south trade investment and technology collaborations
• 50:07
  Resilient reliable and shorter supply chains that would
• 50:12
  reduce dependence on any single supplier or on
• 50:17
  any single market An urgent resolution of conflicts
• 50:22
  that are impacting food fertilizer and energy security
• 50:27
  the protection of global commons including addressing maritime
• 50:30
  shipping concerns HADR situations environmental challenges, etc A
• 50:37
  collaborative leveraging of technology for development, especially the
• 50:41
  creation of a digital public infrastructure and a
• 50:45
  fair and level playing field in different domains
• 50:48
  that do justice to the development concerns of
• 50:52
  the global south Excellencies friends To get you
• 50:56
  get there India would propose the following points
• 50:59
  for your collective consideration One we utilize existing
• 51:04
  forums to strengthen consultations among global south with
• 51:08
  a view to enhance solidarity and encourage collaboration
• 51:12
  To bring to the table specific strengths experiences
• 51:16
  and achievements that we may have individually developed
• 51:21
  But which can actually benefit fellow global south
• 51:26
  members Some good examples of these are vaccine
• 51:29
  production digital capabilities education capacities agro practices and
• 51:37
  SME culture Three in areas like climate action
• 51:43
  and climate justice Come up with initiatives that
• 51:46
  serve the global south rather than justify the
• 51:50
  global north for discuss the promise of technologies
• 51:54
  on the horizon, especially AI and five Reform
• 51:59
  the United Nations and multilateralism as a whole
• 52:03
  So with those thoughts I look forward to
• 52:08
  hearing from you all and once again I
• 52:10
  really thank you.
• 52:12
  I think all of us know what a
• 52:15
  busy time this is that we move from
• 52:18
  meeting to meeting and I think Any time
• 52:21
  which any of us commit is a is
• 52:23
  a statement in itself So again, I want
• 52:26
  to say how pleased I am to see
• 52:28
  you all this evening So basically he is
• 52:33
  saying well you heard it saying, you know
• 52:38
  quit quit using any any Attempt to work
• 52:44
  with us to justify your own things that
• 52:47
  are going on in the north Did you
• 52:49
  get that part about the limited supply chains
• 52:51
  and the much shorter supply chains?
• 52:54
  remember when I gave several weeks ago now
• 52:58
  a Look at the infrastructure projects that are
• 53:03
  going on internationally by the way between huge
• 53:08
  players remember India signed a 10-year contract
• 53:13
  to run a port in Iran for them
• 53:18
  and That port, you know is part of
• 53:23
  The north-south transport corridor that they're creating
• 53:27
  over there and what they are doing is
• 53:30
  Changing the face of Asia and the global
• 53:34
  south the most populous area on the planet
• 53:40
  You know India 1.48 billion China 1
• 53:45
  .42 or something like that.
• 53:47
  It's not far behind and Growing and All
• 53:53
  of those areas are growing Quickly quickly quickly
• 53:57
  to think that we're gonna continue to control
• 54:03
  countries like India I Mean last week when
• 54:07
  we were talking about Trump's new idea to
• 54:09
  charge him this hundred thousand dollars How much
• 54:11
  you want to bet that wasn't all about
• 54:13
  immigration that it was more about Russian oil
• 54:19
  How much you want to bet that?
• 54:23
  I'd almost guarantee it, you know, what else
• 54:26
  would it be for?
• 54:27
  Telling an Indian they're gonna have to pay
• 54:29
  because And they've been doing it forever They
• 54:33
  have they have ten times more engineers than
• 54:35
  we have their education systems are pumping out
• 54:38
  more and I Don't know.
• 54:42
  I like I like listening to this guy
• 54:45
  There was another one that I thought about
• 54:49
  but I think this one Is a little
• 54:51
  bit too long.
• 54:53
  Let me see.
• 54:54
  I don't want to play it just yet
• 54:56
  Let's get how long this one goes yeah,
• 55:00
  it's only 13 minutes and It's the same
• 55:03
  thing with Jaishankar and I think who else
• 55:07
  is on there This one came up one
• 55:11
  day ago So, I don't know maybe I
• 55:17
  won't play it it's It's got there's but
• 55:21
  if it's the same topics about how they're
• 55:24
  there they keep talking about Adjusting how the
• 55:30
  international order deals with the global south They
• 55:35
  cannot the the structure never changes in the
• 55:39
  UN it's always Tilted to Europe United States
• 55:45
  and You know and The rules don't apply
• 55:49
  to us, you know, we can go invade
• 55:51
  via Venezuela if we feel like it, right?
• 55:54
  Who's gonna stop us right who's gonna complain
• 55:57
  about it?
• 55:58
  Who except Venezuela, you know, they're gonna they'll
• 56:01
  complain about it.
• 56:02
  But who else is gonna right?
• 56:04
  I Don't know.
• 56:06
  I just don't know there's Let's see, I
• 56:11
  want to get to a little bit about
• 56:13
  The poor people that Got snowed in on
• 56:22
  Everest Jesus that would that would suck wouldn't
• 56:25
  it you go there and the horrible weather
• 56:27
  change?
• 56:28
  They said it was very quick moving in
• 56:30
  a weather change that just all of a
• 56:32
  sudden there's all kind There's more than a
• 56:33
  thousand people stranded up there And then they
• 56:36
  started talking about who they're gonna charge For
• 56:39
  the rescue efforts to go and rescue all
• 56:42
  these people who climb up they should each
• 56:45
  have to pay for being rescued, right?
• 56:48
  Who I think it's gonna be a nightmare.
• 56:50
  I bet there's gonna be a lot more
• 56:52
  frozen bodies up there you ever seen those
• 56:54
  things on YouTube where they Jesus it's terrible
• 56:59
  where they go through and see all the
• 57:00
  people that have died up there frozen.
• 57:03
  They can't really Drag their bodies down that
• 57:07
  that has happened That's that's definitely unfortunate Let's
• 57:13
  see.
• 57:13
  We already talked about Moldova at length So,
• 57:19
  what do we have going on in street
• 57:23
  politics Georgia has lots of Western funded Western
• 57:31
  funded Street violence, you know Once again, they're
• 57:38
  to there have been four coups attempted there
• 57:41
  in in the last Year and a half
• 57:45
  they said Isn't that crazy?
• 57:49
  Let's see Money diplomacy and multi polarity Youth
• 57:59
  and bricks three thousand teens from 67 countries
• 58:04
  Adopted a children's peace declaration for submission to
• 58:09
  the UN they call it horizontal diplomacy and
• 58:15
  That that was an interesting story, but I
• 58:19
  think we're gonna Go back out of Those
• 58:28
  topics I just want to review one more
• 58:30
  time and make sure that I've covered everything
• 58:33
  I wanted to cover before we get to
• 58:37
  our News portion that we were going to
• 58:44
  talk about here.
• 58:45
  I wanted to talk about mr Kazin member
• 58:48
  him the economist and What they are talking
• 58:53
  about?
• 58:54
  They're talking about Creating changing the Financial superstructures
• 59:02
  and talked about how the 1913 fed syndicate
• 59:07
  created a DNA for today's cross-border war
• 59:11
  financing logic and so they're attempting to change
• 59:15
  this the house profits because the Table is
• 59:19
  rigged, you know, and it's it's I wish
• 59:24
  I could go further into his But it
• 59:26
  was a one-hour very interesting discussion about
• 59:31
  what he But it's all economics that he
• 59:36
  was talking about so it might not be
• 59:38
  all that interesting to some other people and
• 59:43
  Let's see, there were a couple of stories
• 59:46
  that I wanted to cover as well Hang
• 59:50
  on and let me get to them.
• 59:52
  Oh, no Son of a nutcracker, I Closed
• 59:58
  it out.
• 59:59
  I have to go open it back up
• 1:00:01
  again.
• 1:00:01
  Give me just a second and we will
• 1:00:04
  get there I apologize for that.
• 1:00:07
  Technology's gotten me today Let's see here Where
• 1:00:15
  are we?
• 1:00:16
  Oops wrong one and Mm-hmm, what happened
• 1:00:25
  there it is.
• 1:00:32
  Oh Sorry about that there were some big
• 1:00:39
  stories in France.
• 1:00:41
  Okay, so we were talking about Macron and
• 1:00:47
  his Prime Minister Guy named Edouard Philippe is
• 1:00:53
  in Cologne encouraging Macron to resign He wants
• 1:00:58
  him to call an early presidential election Due
• 1:01:01
  to this.
• 1:01:02
  I mean very deep political crisis.
• 1:01:05
  I mean on Monday Sebastian Likourneau became the
• 1:01:12
  fifth French Prime Minister to resign under Macron's
• 1:01:17
  Leadership if you want to call it that
• 1:01:19
  in two years and he stepped down Mere
• 1:01:23
  hours after unveiling a new cabinet.
• 1:01:26
  I saw something today that said he was
• 1:01:29
  in his his cabinet was complete for all
• 1:01:33
  of 14 hours and Now that he stepped
• 1:01:37
  down Each of them will receive 10,000
• 1:01:41
  euros apiece for three months and he will
• 1:01:44
  receive 16 thousand euros a month for three
• 1:01:48
  months and You know while they look for
• 1:01:51
  other jobs, right It's quite quite the unemployment
• 1:01:56
  package, huh?
• 1:01:58
  since taking office in 2017 Macron has had
• 1:02:02
  seven of his prime ministers resign including Edouard
• 1:02:07
  Philippe in January 2020 John Castix in April
• 1:02:11
  2022 Elizabeth Bourne January 2024 Gabriella tall July
• 1:02:17
  of 2024 Michael Barnier December of 2024 Francois
• 1:02:23
  Beyrou of September 2025 and then Likourneau this
• 1:02:28
  week is the latest in its You know,
• 1:02:30
  his resignation is a split in Parliament over
• 1:02:34
  the government's efforts to pass a budget aimed
• 1:02:38
  at curbing the nation's rising debt and The
• 1:02:43
  guy says I'm not gonna be able to
• 1:02:46
  force anybody to come to a budget So
• 1:02:48
  I so I'm done and Macron should leave
• 1:02:52
  after the budget is adopted and announce an
• 1:02:54
  early Presidential election said Felipe to a French
• 1:02:58
  radio station on Tuesday I'm not for an
• 1:03:00
  immediate and brutal resignation, but the president must
• 1:03:04
  take the initiative He described some of Macron's
• 1:03:07
  choices for prime ministers Very curious and called
• 1:03:10
  his decision to dissolve the National Assembly in
• 1:03:14
  2024 Disastrous, you remember that the move was
• 1:03:18
  prompted by his coalition defeat in European Parliament
• 1:03:21
  elections And it was widely seen as a
• 1:03:24
  gamble that backfired Produced a hung Parliament and
• 1:03:28
  halted much the country's legislative work Felipe was
• 1:03:32
  the longest-serving prime minister under Macron And
• 1:03:37
  during his tenure he oversaw major labor and
• 1:03:40
  tax reform managed controversial fuel tax That triggered
• 1:03:44
  the yellow vest protests remember those and he
• 1:03:48
  resigned in 2020 during Macron's pre-election reshuffle
• 1:03:52
  and he founded his own center-right party
• 1:03:55
  and officially declared his own candidacy for the
• 1:03:59
  2027 presidential race if Macron is two steps
• 1:04:05
  down France would be required to hold a
• 1:04:08
  new presidential election in 2035 days a new
• 1:04:13
  poll found that 86% of Those questioned
• 1:04:19
  see the current situation as a sad spectacle
• 1:04:23
  produced by the political class, which is not
• 1:04:27
  up to the task and 51% believe
• 1:04:32
  the president's departure would help to unblock political
• 1:04:37
  impasse And you know something needs to happen,
• 1:04:41
  you know it's Crazy crazy stuff.
• 1:04:49
  Let's see the The German Elections.
• 1:04:58
  Here we go a German mayor After he
• 1:05:01
  was elected was stabbed and he was in
• 1:05:05
  critical condition with multiple knife wounds Iris Stolzer
• 1:05:09
  the newly elected mayor in a town of
• 1:05:13
  North Rhine-Westphalia Germany was found with multiple
• 1:05:16
  stab wounds and critical conditions No arrests have
• 1:05:19
  been made a social Democrat and labor lawyer
• 1:05:23
  who's 57 years old won last month's runoff
• 1:05:26
  election with 52 percent of the vote and
• 1:05:30
  Became the mayor of her decade.
• 1:05:32
  She was found in her apartment with the
• 1:05:34
  injuries and She was found by her 15
• 1:05:39
  year old son Said she was attacked by
• 1:05:41
  several men outside her home Dragged herself back
• 1:05:44
  into the apartment Her 17 year old daughter
• 1:05:47
  was in the apartment during the attack.
• 1:05:49
  The outlet reported the boy was taken from
• 1:05:51
  the scene in handcuffs wearing an evidence preserving
• 1:05:55
  overall Investigators said this was to prevent evidence
• 1:05:59
  from being covered up.
• 1:06:00
  We fear for the life of the mayor
• 1:06:02
  Blah blah blah and they don't know who
• 1:06:05
  it is Dear Spiegel reported that there was
• 1:06:08
  an alleged That there also had allegedly been
• 1:06:12
  a case of domestic violence in the politician's
• 1:06:15
  home earlier this year When the adopted daughter
• 1:06:18
  used a knife against her so nobody knows
• 1:06:21
  what's going on Lots of knife violence in
• 1:06:26
  Germany Unbelievable nonsense there were a couple of
• 1:06:35
  Opinions On the International Criminal Court members talking
• 1:06:41
  about that the other day and Let us
• 1:06:45
  get to that as well You heard me
• 1:06:52
  talking about the president of Burkina Faso earlier
• 1:06:56
  in the in the show here and Late
• 1:06:59
  last month Mali Nigeria and Burkina Faso Announced
• 1:07:04
  that they were going to withdraw from the
• 1:07:07
  International Criminal Court people are really getting tired
• 1:07:12
  of it and how how how weak it
• 1:07:14
  is and So It's an interesting story and
• 1:07:23
  under the United under the alliance of Sahil
• 1:07:26
  states called the AES These three countries which
• 1:07:30
  have distanced himself from the regional economic bloc
• 1:07:33
  of eco Watts, which is another Western Africa
• 1:07:36
  Have accused the ICC of serving as a
• 1:07:39
  tool of foreign powers France and took a
• 1:07:43
  step Another step in their quest for their
• 1:07:45
  own sovereignty.
• 1:07:47
  They're getting away from Europe since the creation
• 1:07:50
  in 2002 the ICC has presented itself as
• 1:07:55
  a universal judicial body Tasked with prosecuting war
• 1:07:59
  crimes crimes against humanity and genocide yet behind
• 1:08:04
  this noble political statement is a harsh reality
• 1:08:10
  the majority of the courts high-profile cases
• 1:08:13
  Actually involve African states the West acts as
• 1:08:18
  judge, but never as the accused so one
• 1:08:21
  of several examples in this case was a
• 1:08:25
  Guy detained in the Hague for seven years
• 1:08:28
  before being acquitted acquitted in 2019 or the
• 1:08:32
  case of Omar al-bashir of Sudan who's
• 1:08:36
  been under ICC arrest warrants since 2009 While
• 1:08:41
  Western leaders responsible for what they call illegal
• 1:08:44
  wars Such as George W Bush or Tony
• 1:08:48
  Blair for the war in Iraq have never
• 1:08:50
  even been investigated I mean you could talk
• 1:08:53
  about a few others as well Western crimes
• 1:08:57
  remain Untouched by the Hague court NATO's bombing
• 1:09:00
  campaign in Libya Which caused thousands of civilian
• 1:09:04
  deaths has never been seriously investigated the infamous
• 1:09:08
  tortures of Abu Ghraib in Iraq exposed in
• 1:09:12
  2004 with photographic evidence were never pursued in
• 1:09:18
  2020 the ICC announced its intention to investigate
• 1:09:22
  war crimes in Afghanistan including by US forces
• 1:09:26
  in response Trump imposed economic sanctions and visa
• 1:09:30
  bans on ICC judges and prosecutors including the
• 1:09:35
  chief prosecutor these measures were seen as an
• 1:09:38
  attempt to deter the investigation into the u
• 1:09:41
  .s. And Ultimately the ICC scaled back the
• 1:09:45
  scope of investigations practically admitting the difficulty of
• 1:09:49
  holding Western powers accountable and The role of
• 1:09:56
  Western powers, you know is great in Destabilizing
• 1:10:00
  this area of Africa to understand why these
• 1:10:03
  states believe they are right to withdraw from
• 1:10:05
  the ICC Somebody has to go back to
• 1:10:08
  the political divisions that destabilize the region one
• 1:10:11
  of the turning points was the 2011 intervention
• 1:10:14
  into Libya under the guise of protecting civilians
• 1:10:19
  an Action that unleashed regional chaos in France
• 1:10:23
  president Nicolas Sarkozy remember this spearheaded the push
• 1:10:28
  for intervention in Libya and then secured a
• 1:10:31
  UN security resolution Security Council resolution 1973 the
• 1:10:37
  resolution authorized Quote all necessary measures to protect
• 1:10:43
  civilians including the establishment of a no-fly
• 1:10:47
  zone and arms embargo and explicitly prohibited any
• 1:10:51
  foreign occupation of Libya Although framed as humanitarian
• 1:10:56
  intervention the resolution enabled NATO military led operation
• 1:11:03
  immediately went there and So, you know, here's
• 1:11:06
  another group of people saying look these rules,
• 1:11:10
  you know Never apply to you.
• 1:11:13
  They only apply to us Sarkozy was recently
• 1:11:17
  convicted in France for illegal campaign financing related
• 1:11:20
  to his 2007 presidential campaign Including the alleged
• 1:11:26
  support from Libya, but this conviction was unrelated
• 1:11:29
  to his decisions regarding the military intervention in
• 1:11:32
  Libya in UK Prime Minister David camp Cameron
• 1:11:37
  Launched operation elemy providing military strikes in the
• 1:11:42
  US President Obama authorized Operation Odyssey dawn handing
• 1:11:47
  down over handing over command to NATO NATO
• 1:11:51
  and finally NATO coordinated operation unified protector and
• 1:11:57
  managed airstrikes in regime change Multiple reports and
• 1:12:03
  parliamentary inquiries confirmed that this intervention is not
• 1:12:07
  limited to civilian protection, but is regime change
• 1:12:12
  which culminated in the killing of Muammar Gaddafi
• 1:12:15
  the collapse of Libya opened the doors for
• 1:12:18
  a flood of weapons militias jihadist groups across
• 1:12:22
  the entire region and Directly fueled the instability
• 1:12:26
  of Mali Niger and Burkina Faso that they
• 1:12:30
  are facing today This area's war on terror
• 1:12:34
  is especially tough for Mali and Niger according
• 1:12:37
  to UN human watch rights over 10,000
• 1:12:40
  civilians were killed between 2012 and 2022 in
• 1:12:46
  the region in 2019 ICC prosecutor Announced investigation
• 1:12:52
  into crimes committed in Mali By Mali and
• 1:12:56
  armed forces yet.
• 1:12:58
  The court has shown little interest in investigating
• 1:13:01
  international networks that facilitate the violence like arms
• 1:13:06
  traffickers foreign sponsors Etc and the foreign sponsors
• 1:13:12
  are France the UK the US and NATO
• 1:13:17
  including Sarkozy Comer and Obama and their military
• 1:13:20
  allies So by withdrawing from the ICC what
• 1:13:24
  Mali Niger and Burkina Faso are saying is
• 1:13:27
  that no self-respecting?
• 1:13:29
  state Can accept a tribunal in the Hague?
• 1:13:34
  Vulnerable only to the pressure of great powers
• 1:13:36
  who decide who gets to be tried on
• 1:13:39
  the territory I mean, it's just like the
• 1:13:43
  same thing in America only on a much
• 1:13:45
  larger scale If you got the right friends,
• 1:13:48
  you don't ever have to worry about trouble
• 1:13:51
  on your doorstep And well, if you're a
• 1:13:55
  westerner and you want to engage in regime
• 1:13:58
  change hello, Donald Trump in Venezuela and Marco
• 1:14:03
  Rubio in Venezuela Nonsense and nothing will ever
• 1:14:08
  happen to them.
• 1:14:09
  We might we might I might for sure
• 1:14:12
  Well, I will you know for sure bitch
• 1:14:14
  about it, but who what's gonna happen to
• 1:14:16
  them?
• 1:14:16
  Nothing same old same old It's just business
• 1:14:21
  as usual for us.
• 1:14:22
  You know, that's that's how our So-called
• 1:14:28
  leaders are supposed to act they're supposed to
• 1:14:32
  act this way so they're proposing their own
• 1:14:38
  AES criminal court and Prosecute crimes in Africa
• 1:14:43
  by Africans for Africans and of course such
• 1:14:47
  a court you know is Gonna be a
• 1:14:50
  little bit hard to input but the withdrawal
• 1:14:54
  of Niger Mali and Burkina Faso from the
• 1:14:57
  ICC You know critics argue that these states
• 1:15:00
  are shielding themselves from accountability But the truth
• 1:15:04
  is they refuse to be ruled You know
• 1:15:08
  judged by rules that they didn't design and
• 1:15:12
  they choose to build their own Mechanisms.
• 1:15:15
  I'm telling you a lot of these people
• 1:15:17
  are going into Places like Structures like bricks
• 1:15:26
  is what's happening Let's see Where are we
• 1:15:32
  gonna go after this?
• 1:15:35
  I?
• 1:15:36
  Had another opinion piece that I wanted to
• 1:15:39
  show Yes The Tradition Against
• 1:15:48
  corruption and This has to do Again with
• 1:15:54
  this is a commentary on Putin's speech by
• 1:15:58
  somebody else in his recent Valdai speech President
• 1:16:03
  Putin declared the age of a single-model
• 1:16:07
  for everyone has entered and Nations now more
• 1:16:11
  themselves in their own traditions and draw strength
• 1:16:14
  from culture faith in history across the globe
• 1:16:20
  Ancestral values are reawakening as globalism and cultural
• 1:16:25
  Imperialism are fading the world is witnessing witnessing
• 1:16:29
  a rising concert of sovereign civilizations Putin spoke
• 1:16:35
  with I can't talk with clarity about the
• 1:16:39
  condition of the world He said that there's
• 1:16:40
  no shared agreement on how the international order
• 1:16:43
  would be structured mankind is long Been searching
• 1:16:47
  for something new and the path forward is
• 1:16:50
  going to be marked with trial and error
• 1:16:52
  Turbulence and storms there are no blueprints.
• 1:16:55
  No authority dictates what the outcome is going
• 1:16:58
  to be but amid the chaos he said
• 1:17:01
  Nations must hold on to anchors They cannot
• 1:17:05
  drift in instability true anchors lies in their
• 1:17:09
  own culture in the ethical and religious Values
• 1:17:12
  that they have developed over the centuries in
• 1:17:15
  their own geography in the space they inhabit
• 1:17:18
  these forms of identity Provide a sort of
• 1:17:24
  compass they provide foundations on which nations can
• 1:17:28
  build a steady life Traditions are the heart
• 1:17:31
  of the compass Each tradition is unique shaped
• 1:17:35
  by its own history respect for these traditions
• 1:17:40
  Putin said is the first law of order
• 1:17:43
  among people and Attempts to force a single
• 1:17:46
  model upon the world has always failed Putin's
• 1:17:51
  message is still a Multipolar message just like
• 1:17:55
  Xi Jinping's just like Jaishankar's just like an
• 1:17:59
  Narendra Modi's each People must return to its
• 1:18:04
  own Foundations and draw strength from within I
• 1:18:08
  heard an interesting report the the other day
• 1:18:11
  that said that the reason America Has issues
• 1:18:18
  in finding its identity Is Because we come
• 1:18:24
  from so many That were you know, we're
• 1:18:28
  the melting pot, right?
• 1:18:30
  And so ours is more difficult to find
• 1:18:33
  now You don't think about that like I
• 1:18:36
  don't think about that I think we you
• 1:18:38
  know, you know baseball apple pie hot dogs,
• 1:18:41
  you know But is that really our identity
• 1:18:45
  or is that you know something from TV
• 1:18:48
  in the 70s?
• 1:18:50
  I don't know And so about Putin gave
• 1:18:53
  a clear indication of renewal of this trip
• 1:18:56
  these traditions in Russia he told of young
• 1:19:01
  women who now come out go out in
• 1:19:04
  clubs and bars and seraphim's and Kokoshniki headdresses
• 1:19:08
  the dress of their ancestors and this is
• 1:19:11
  no costume gimmick it's a demonstrates that Western
• 1:19:14
  attempts to corrupt Russian society have failed and
• 1:19:18
  The same current flows across the globe in
• 1:19:21
  China The hanfu movement is gathering pace young
• 1:19:25
  people proudly wearing robes of dynasties past on
• 1:19:29
  city streets and in public festivals in Latin
• 1:19:32
  America indigenous cultures experiencing a resurgence of growth
• 1:19:37
  I Forget how you say it Kate you
• 1:19:40
  are in Peru is taught again through bilingual
• 1:19:43
  schools and is broadcast on radio and television
• 1:19:46
  Indigenous music art and symbols are making a
• 1:19:49
  comeback across Africa Drumming and ritual once pushed
• 1:19:53
  into shadows during colonial rule are brought again
• 1:19:56
  into the light UNESCO now recognizes traditions such
• 1:20:00
  as the royal drummers of Burundi and Senegal's
• 1:20:03
  a bar drumming is treasures of mankind symbols
• 1:20:06
  of a continent Reclaiming its own ancestral voice.
• 1:20:10
  These are not just Curiosities they show tradition
• 1:20:13
  is alive everywhere a force that is resisting
• 1:20:18
  the steamroller of Globalism and restoring dignity to
• 1:20:22
  people once told to forget their roots the
• 1:20:26
  United States under Donald Trump We see the
• 1:20:29
  same impulse a turn from empty liberal dogma
• 1:20:34
  toward roots identity and history the 1776 Commission
• 1:20:40
  born reborn.
• 1:20:41
  I'm sorry under his leadership is restoring patriotic
• 1:20:45
  education and reclaiming the narrative of America's foundation
• 1:20:49
  from distorted ideology Trump is issuing executive orders
• 1:20:54
  to reshape how national symbols monuments and museums
• 1:20:58
  present history demanding that they not inappropriately disparage
• 1:21:03
  past Americans or betray the founding spirit He's
• 1:21:08
  re elevating faith and national symbols insisting on
• 1:21:13
  sovereign national narrative framing a culture war as
• 1:21:17
  one between people and the elite who would
• 1:21:20
  rewrite the memory of our predecessors It's a
• 1:21:25
  return in a pride in heritage reclaiming stories
• 1:21:29
  once handed over to the liberal scholars and
• 1:21:34
  And well to destroy and the reassertion of
• 1:21:39
  a nation which must grow from its past
• 1:21:41
  Not abandon it, you know those of us
• 1:21:44
  who know better have said so for a
• 1:21:47
  good long time Traditionalists also exist inside of
• 1:21:51
  Western Europe.
• 1:21:52
  They're not enemies of their own society rather
• 1:21:55
  They are an enslaved class within the society
• 1:21:58
  the elite suffocate them Use diversity as propaganda
• 1:22:04
  Preach false morality to demand that they accept
• 1:22:09
  being displaced by foreigners in their own land
• 1:22:12
  for these Traditionalists Putin's words carry power they
• 1:22:17
  hear in them a message of hope That
• 1:22:20
  their struggle is part of a wider revolt
• 1:22:23
  and they are not alone They will join
• 1:22:27
  hands with others across the world who defend
• 1:22:30
  tradition against the machine of globalism and uniformity
• 1:22:35
  at the heart of this new world stands
• 1:22:40
  people like Trump people like Modi people like
• 1:22:47
  Jaishankar and people like Vladimir Putin and Russia
• 1:22:51
  Russia is more than a state.
• 1:22:54
  It's a kind of an ideological center.
• 1:22:57
  It offers not a single doctrine Putin called
• 1:23:01
  it his political polyphony in This concert of
• 1:23:06
  nations each voice is distinct and is rooted
• 1:23:09
  in its own Tradition will we as the
• 1:23:12
  United States take part in this chorus?
• 1:23:16
  That remains an open question But Putin has
• 1:23:20
  extended a hand It's a hand stretched towards
• 1:23:24
  Trump towards those in America that resist the
• 1:23:29
  liberal establishment towards the West as a whole
• 1:23:33
  and the concept text sharpens another truth woke
• 1:23:38
  ism born in America Is already exhausted it
• 1:23:44
  is burning itself out In its own birthplace
• 1:23:47
  its slogans sound increasingly meaningless even to its
• 1:23:51
  former believers Alongside it globalism is fading its
• 1:23:57
  claims of universality are exposed as fraud But
• 1:24:02
  Europe remains trapped Europe has become a fortress
• 1:24:06
  of insanity and racism it cloaks itself and
• 1:24:10
  talk of equality while imposing Anti-values with
• 1:24:15
  arrogance it insists on exporting LGBTQ ideology transgender
• 1:24:22
  experiment and climate hysteria These are the banners
• 1:24:29
  Behind them lies contempt for others.
• 1:24:32
  This is the new liberal form of white
• 1:24:35
  supremacism The choice for Europe is clear.
• 1:24:39
  It can continue down the road of arrogance
• 1:24:43
  Pointlessly trying to push its liberal creed upon
• 1:24:46
  the world while collapsing and utter irrelevance or
• 1:24:53
  It can accept a new role it can
• 1:24:56
  rejoin the concert of civilization Not as a
• 1:25:00
  master of it, but an equal it can
• 1:25:03
  trade supremacism for dignity dogma for heritage contempt
• 1:25:08
  for respect history has no mercy But it
• 1:25:13
  does offer renewal Europe has to change with
