• 1:01
  in the can for us to review. That is not of the international variety. And here though, we
• 1:12
  talk about mostly international horse crappy. That's what we talk about here. And it's also
• 1:25
  pretty fun. I like it or I wouldn't do it. So there you have it. And if you're listening,
• 1:29
  I appreciate it. And I like that too. Hit that like button, hit the like button on your whatever
• 1:36
  it is. I don't know. I always listen to those guys and they're always talking about hitting
• 1:40
  the like button. I don't have any like buttons now. Well, you know what? Maybe it's because
• 1:44
  nobody likes me. Oh, no. Oh, my God, I'm dying over here. So where shall we begin? How shall
• 1:56
  we begin? Yesterday, we talked a lot about, you know, conspiracy. We had some conspiracy theories.
• 2:06
  We reviewed the email that my sister sent that encourages you to buy things at the end of your
• 2:12
  conspiracy. You're going to buy some, I don't know, hydrogen peroxide for some kind of weird purpose.
• 2:19
  I don't understand what it actually does because I'm not buying it, but I wouldn't do it anyway.
• 2:25
  So I'm an anti-druggy, right? I don't like drugs. And so I have friends and some of them in high
• 2:32
  places. And now most of mine are in low places, you know, like the song says. But I have friends
• 2:39
  in high places even, and they use, you know, cannabis. Cannabis is legal. There's some kind
• 2:51
  of dispute going on on the planet right now about something called kratom and then hemp and then
• 2:56
  all this other stuff that people enjoy and people use and they do whatever. Well, how do I want to
• 3:02
  say this? Cause I don't really, I don't support that type of thing. Not at all, because I would
• 3:07
  never do it. And I, but I don't even understand anything about it. But do you want to do that
• 3:16
  crap to your own body? Go right ahead. What do I care? And these people that get to wander around
• 3:23
  the planet telling people what to do, it pisses me off and I don't like it. I don't like it.
• 3:30
  Okay. Where am I going? Let's see where the files I was attaching. Here's what we're going to do.
• 3:38
  Well, we got some music for you later too, but after that, where is it?
• 3:48
  So this yesterday we talked about some of the attacks and one of the things that I,
• 3:53
  you know, we talked about Graham and his conspiracy theory deaths that, you know,
• 3:57
  geez, he's really blown up in a, uh, in a, uh, uh, uh, drone factory in Kiev and he came back here
• 4:05
  and you know, they, they're, they're hiding it. And just like they do about everything else, they,
• 4:09
  uh, they lie. Nobody tells the truth in the national media. You know, what are they supposed
• 4:15
  to do? You know, they just don't do it. And you have to be careful of where we are. So
• 4:21
  what we're going to do is look at our, uh, what do you call it?
• 4:33
  The Peter V. Sevastopol ski, right? So they opened their news block. There's a lot of news
• 4:39
  right now because Russia's bombing the snot out of Kiev again, and I'm sorry, not give Odessa.
• 4:45
  So last night or the, the Kiev, what they did is, uh, the Ukrainians, they got nothing left,
• 4:53
  right? They, they got, they got nothing. They're losing the war on the front and they have nothing
• 4:58
  and they have no way to prosecute or move forward in that war. They can pick one tiny area and make
• 5:06
  a, uh, maybe a, some headway, you know, trying to get something back. I heard there was a,
• 5:11
  one of the cities that they were in that they actually managed a little incursion into some
• 5:16
  territories they lost about six, eight months ago. And then they were pushed back and they,
• 5:21
  you know, they do that to represent, you know, progress, but there is no real progress. And so
• 5:27
  every once in a while, you'll see some kind of a limited counter offensive and they'll show up and
• 5:32
  they'll push back for a little while. Oh, geez, we got back in the Zaporizhia, we gained a kilometer,
• 5:37
  then they lose five, you know, and they're at the end. They don't have any people left.
• 5:42
  There are riots all over Lvov and, uh, uh, the, these people are beating the snot out of the
• 5:50
  tsetseka, the, uh, the, uh, boostification guys, the guys that beat you up and throw you in the,
• 5:57
  in the van and then send you off to the front line two weeks later with very little training
• 6:02
  to lose your ass. And, uh, people are dying in the training centers. I don't mean to laugh
• 6:07
  about it, but this war is done. Okay. There, there, nobody, Ukraine's not going to win.
• 6:13
  Now it's just the, the, the bullshit fly stuff that comes out. Oh, geez, this guy's pissing me
• 6:18
  off. So I think I'll blow up like, okay, here's the new, the new attack from these guys is they
• 6:25
  are, uh, blowing up. What are they blowing up? Tankers. They're blowing up grain tankers.
• 6:32
  They're blowing up transport ship tankers in the, as of C, which is a big C, but it's all the, you
• 6:41
  know, Russia surrounds the whole thing. It's not necessarily international. You know, they let
• 6:45
  people in and out through the, they're in between Crimea and, uh, the, the Southern part of Russia
• 6:50
  there. They let them in and out, but it's basically, it's only Russia around the, as of C.
• 6:55
  And so, uh, especially after the taking of Crimea. So that's kind of the piss off of what happened
• 7:00
  with the Ukrainians. Oh, geez. You know, we're, we lost access to the, as of C why the hell you need
• 7:05
  it. You don't do anything anyway. You have, they, they even before the war, their production had
• 7:09
  gone so far down, their economy was shredded. They had no economy. Okay. So now what are they
• 7:16
  doing? They have nothing left. And so they are attacking Russian oil fields in Russia, Russian,
• 7:23
  um, any sort of energy connected, uh, deal yesterday. They droned, they droned and there's
• 7:32
  big stories about it. They drone attacked a personal vehicle with a driver and the head
• 7:40
  of this operation, nuclear power plant, they assassinated him in his car while driving to
• 7:46
  drive into work. Okay. I got a story about that. I ought to share it with you. And then the
• 7:51
  assassination, I mean, this is crap. Everybody should be up in arms about it. It's a freaking
• 7:57
  nuclear power plant. And, uh, that guy has been, you know, working with the IAEA. The Russians are
• 8:05
  demanding that the IAEA come in and investigate this and, and, and nothing, not a word in the
• 8:11
  West zip. Hell I'm it. It's like, they talk about this. I listened to the, uh, briefing of Mario
• 8:19
  Zakharova, the three hours in, uh, and I'm telling you the, the, the, the, we do not get an ounce of
• 8:27
  the truth over here. And maybe it's because nobody freaking cares, but I'm tired of sending over
• 8:34
  money to blow up two peoples that we should love, you know, love, probably strong word.
• 8:40
  We shouldn't have any problem with that's for God blessed. Sure. We shouldn't have any problem with
• 8:45
  them at all on either side. And, you know, I hate to say this because it's like tap dancing on,
• 8:51
  on, on somebody's grave. And I don't mean that, but I'm freaking glad that Lindsey Graham is out
• 8:56
  of there because that warmongering a hole for years has done nothing but kill people and, and,
• 9:05
  or to instigate programs that do kill people long as it ain't the citizens of South Carolina,
• 9:13
  you know, well, at least today in us, you know, we'll send them enough weapons and they can fight
• 9:19
  to the last Ukrainian, his words, not mine fight to the last Ukrainian. All right. Well, yeah.
• 9:26
  Well, you know, we'll, we'll come in and get all their, uh, their, uh, uh,
• 9:31
  precious resources. We'll take those over. Don't worry about them. They'll be gone.
• 9:36
  And that's exactly what's happening. It's the elitists of the world that want the resources
• 9:41
  in Eastern Ukraine and Russia's saying, screw you that ain't happening. And we pushed that for how
• 9:48
  long it's always resources. Now, guess what we have? What is it now? We're normally it's usually
• 9:54
  six months of reserves in the Petro in the, in the, in the, uh, what do you call it? Strategic
• 10:00
  reserves. And we're, we were down to four weeks. Now we're down to three and, uh, the prices are
• 10:06
  keep being kept artificially low. And we know they're artificially low because, uh, uh, Ukraine
• 10:12
  has blown up 120, 115, something like that. Tankers Russia's now doing the exact same thing
• 10:18
  back to them. They're turning it into a parking lot. Kiev is in, uh, there was a headline on the,
• 10:25
  on the news today, peer visa, Vastopolsky said, uh, uh, peel diet would be, um, peel is a dust.
• 10:33
  And so the word would probably be closest translated to they're turning Kiev to dust,
• 10:40
  to rubble there. They're there. So the, the, well, it doesn't matter the grammatical part,
• 10:45
  they're rubble-izing Ukraine. They're turning Ukraine to Kiev to rubble. They're bombing the
• 10:51
  snot out of it daily. And, uh, all you hear in the West are for, so for every 200 drones that,
• 10:59
  that, uh, Kiev is sending in Russia's responding each and every night. And the cries in Russia
• 11:03
  are much more of the, of the nature of saying, uh, listen, screw this. Why are we reacting?
• 11:12
  We should be kicking the crap out of them first. And there's, there's, it's a growing number of
• 11:18
  people saying this that we, you know, we're, we're, we're reactive. And, and, you know, Putin
• 11:24
  is a reactive, he's a measured, he's a steady guy. And if you don't understand that you don't
• 11:30
  understand Putin or Russia at all. And, and you shouldn't be making policy decisions. The people
• 11:38
  that are making policy decisions are, uh, uh, morons on our side of the planet. If they're,
• 11:46
  if they're, or they're so in bed with the, uh, with the, uh, um, deep state types of the world
• 11:57
  that it's just, it's just nonsense. Okay. So there are news, new Russian strikes on
• 12:01
  Kiev and Odessa. Okay. Serious ones. Ukraine reports, rumors about drought,
• 12:07
  water shortages and hunger in, in, in regions. And in Crimea, Zelensky is weakening or dismantling
• 12:16
  parts of Ukraine's military system by the removal of the defense minister, Mikhail Fyodorov,
• 12:22
  that he got rid of. A new American Russian sanctions package associated with the late
• 12:27
  Lindsey Graham is expected to take place. It ain't gonna, you know, who gives a crap.
• 12:32
  So you're going to sanction, uh, I don't know, Serbia for buying grain from Russia.
• 12:37
  The idea itself is foolish, but now it's going to go in to effect to force Russia to do something.
• 12:45
  You ain't forcing Russia to do a damn thing. And it's not gonna happen. They're a proud,
• 12:51
  massive people and massive country. And they will go down. If they go down, it will be swinging
• 12:59
  just like it would be if it was America, just like it is in 90%, at least of other countries
• 13:06
  in the world. And I don't understand. I don't think that people understand that, you know,
• 13:11
  not everybody wants to be in American democracy. Frankly, we wonder if half of our people do
• 13:18
  anymore. You know, this, this is not their way of life. They think differently. And, and I don't
• 13:25
  understand how people do not get that people are different. And it's a wonderful thing that they
• 13:32
  are, you know, uh, what is that from Robin hood? Uh, where, uh, what the hell is his name? Very
• 13:39
  famous black actor. Can't remember his name, but he says Allah loves wondrous variety.
• 13:44
  When he said something, how come you're black? Some little girl asks you anyway,
• 13:49
  he said, because Allah loves wondrous variety. Um, anyway, the sanctions package, let's see
• 13:54
  Ukrainian drone attack on this operation, nuclear power plant killed its chief engineer
• 13:59
  assholes. Pardon my French. The, uh, so there's a guest who's a former Ukrainian
• 14:04
  parliament guy named Val Vadim, uh, Kalashnich, Kalashnichenko. So Vadim Kalashnichenko was
• 14:12
  interviewed on this and he was a former Ukrainian parliamentarian. I'm starting to enjoy
• 14:16
  watching this Peter V Sivestopol ski. They do interviews every day and they get people and
• 14:21
  cream Crimea is, um, is the Republic that, you know, our Ukraine wants it back. Okay. So Ukraine's
• 14:29
  bombing the snot out of it. Okay. And they're bombing the snot out of, uh, uh, droning anyway.
• 14:35
  And they're taking out all the infrastructure. They're destroying any grain, uh, ships,
• 14:40
  any, they are attacking civilian things and they've been doing it. The first,
• 14:46
  first time it came up was, uh, several months ago and they did it in the Mediterranean and
• 14:51
  everybody was having a fit that they did it in the Mediterranean. Oh, we're going to attack
• 14:55
  Russian shadow vessels all over the world. Well, somebody bitched about that apparently and said,
• 15:00
  no, you're not. So now they're doing it in the eyes of sea, just taking them out before they
• 15:05
  leave the, as I've seen, because that way they can claim they're not, uh, violating international
• 15:10
  law where they are violating international law anyway. And now they're getting, they're
• 15:16
  bombing all these ships and nobody's talking about it. They, they bought, they killed or
• 15:21
  destroyed at least 120 vessels in the last two weeks. And now Russia's returning fire. Now the
• 15:27
  Russians inside Russia are going, why in the hell are we returning fire? Why aren't we the ones that
• 15:32
  are kicking butt first? Cause this is nonsense. We should be, uh, we should be, uh, uh, attacking.
• 15:43
  We should be in attack mode, but we're always in responsive mode. Well, Russia wants to appear,
• 15:50
  um, I don't know what measured they want the response. And, and Putin actually is,
• 15:56
  if you really listen to him and regardless of what they say about him over here.
• 16:00
  So there's a times of India. You know, I also watched times of India and, uh, they say that,
• 16:07
  uh, uh, there's more detail on the Ukrainian side that from the Ukrainians, because you know,
• 16:12
  the Russians don't necessarily talk about it because it's a Russian territory that's getting
• 16:17
  bombed here, said the attack bug occurred before 1.00 AM on the local time of July 16,
• 16:23
  eight ballistic missiles, uh, directed toward Kiev and two people killed six reported injured,
• 16:31
  including the 16 year old boy warehouses and non-residential structures were hit
• 16:35
  emergency and rescue operations continued. And Ukrainian authorities said the damage was still
• 16:40
  being assessed. So basically we have a Russian framing and a, and a, and a Ukrainian framing
• 16:46
  that are both the same Russian. And they say the drone production and military industrial
• 16:51
  facilities were struck. Ukraine focuses on that. There were some casualties that occurred in the
• 16:56
  emergency operations around the way. And, uh, but they do admit that non-residential structures
• 17:02
  were attacked, you know? Uh, but like I said yesterday, you can't always guarantee that they
• 17:06
  hit some huge, huge, uh, drone plant in, um, Kiev and it blew out all the windows of the school,
• 17:13
  uh, three, four blocks away. And, uh, so, Oh, it looks like Argentina beat England yesterday.
• 17:21
  Anyway, that's on BBC on TV. Anyway, uh, there's a key claim that commercial ships, tankers, dry
• 17:28
  cargo vessels, and tugboats are being used to, uh, launch unmanned systems from neutral waters.
• 17:35
  Okay. This is what they, the Russians are claiming that the Ukrainians are doing.
• 17:40
  They're taking tugboats, non-military vessels and all this. It's a new phase of the war for them.
• 17:46
  So they take out these private vessels and launch then these underwater or small,
• 17:51
  and they make all these small water drones, you know, and they've been doing a lot of that.
• 17:55
  And somehow they're getting them out. And these drones are able to either they have flying drones
• 18:01
  and which you can launch from the back of a boat. And then they have, uh, these, uh, uh,
• 18:07
  water drones that are little mini look like a jet ski, you know, and they can control it remotely.
• 18:14
  So it's a big remote controlled radio and, but it's a bomb and it's a water drone is what they
• 18:20
  call it. And they take those around and blow shit up. And so that's what they're doing.
• 18:26
  And then the, what Russia is doing. So, uh, well, Kalashnikov emphasizes the maritime route
• 18:32
  is Ukraine's largest and most convenient logistics. So Russia is bombing the car. So
• 18:38
  all. And so now that Ukraine has bombed all of this stuff for the last two weeks and two weeks
• 18:45
  in Crimea and on the Russian side, what they've done now is Russia in answer is destroying Odessa
• 18:54
  and they haven't touched Romania yet. Cause Romania is also on the black sea down there.
• 18:58
  And then it heads into Turkey, right? And so the, the Romanians have a larger chunk, the, the
• 19:03
  uh, Ukrainians, their chunk begins above Romania. And, and, uh, there might be a tiny sliver of
• 19:10
  Bulgarian there. I don't remember, but, uh, uh, it's mostly Romania down that side that has all
• 19:15
  the, has the, the, the space afterward. And, uh, then Ukraine up through Odessa has, uh,
• 19:24
  that's all they have left because since they lost an Odessa is a huge port and England has poured
• 19:29
  tons of money in there. Lloyd's in London. They've, they've tried to, that is why everybody
• 19:34
  was so upset. They need that black sea route, which didn't really exist before, uh, uh,
• 19:41
  what do you call it? Independence of Ukraine. And so what's happening is Russia is bombing their
• 19:48
  infrastructure big time. And this guy that was talking about it, he said that, uh, the, the
• 19:53
  Russian strikes against Odessa have been daily for the preceding week. The there's some commercial
• 20:00
  ships, tankers, dry cargo vessels, and the tugboats that are being attacked. And Russia says
• 20:06
  they're attacking them because they're also being used to launch unmanned systems. And so Russia is
• 20:12
  now retaliating and T because, uh, that's what they do. You know, they, they retaliate after
• 20:18
  Ukraine who has nothing left but droning, you know, that's all they got. And so Russia is now
• 20:25
  doing the same in reverse to Odessa and what they have done. This guy says the maritime route, uh,
• 20:31
  for Ukraine, it's their largest and most convenient logistics route. If they got to go
• 20:39
  overland, they can't get to most of Eastern because they're encircled. You know, they could
• 20:46
  get stuff up through Romania, but then they got to get back in. They can't do it without a war route
• 20:52
  without going through Romania and into Moldova and into the Western areas of, uh, of, uh, Ukraine.
• 21:00
  So the destruction of Odessa is major. Okay. And that's the biggest city, the biggest port that
• 21:07
  Ukraine has. There's a couple of smaller little places out there, but think about this, the, the
• 21:11
  guy that was being interviewed over here, um, what did I say his name was? What doesn't matter. But,
• 21:17
  uh, he, um, he was saying that, uh, the importance of the strikes in what Russia is destroying
• 21:25
  is cranes. You know, I mean, you don't just install a new crane overnight. You know, those
• 21:30
  suckers you ever, you see them in the shipyards, you see them in the, in the, uh, where do they
• 21:35
  put those? The, um, the, uh, uh, cargo, the cargo vessels that use, uh, containers, shipping
• 21:44
  containers, those shipping container hubs, you don't have a crane you're screwed and they're
• 21:50
  blowing up all the cranes. So they can't load anything, which means basically they're dead.
• 21:55
  All the transfer systems, all the fuel systems to transfer points to port infrastructure of all of it
• 22:01
  and military cargo handling capacity of entire Ukraine must pass through Odessa and Russia has,
• 22:12
  uh, over, over the last week. So I don't know if you've ever seen a map of this, but Belarus
• 22:17
  is on top of Ukraine, especially on the Eastern side on the West. It, there's a part of Poland
• 22:23
  that's up there that, that hits Ukraine. And, uh, uh, but the most of the stuff to the North
• 22:29
  is Belarus. And then in the Eastern part, it's Russia. Well, between on the top part of Ukraine
• 22:37
  and, and from, uh, Kiev, where the river Dnipro runs up into, uh, uh, into, um, uh,
• 22:46
  the Belarus, you know, where it comes out in between Russia, Belarus, and, and, and it comes
• 22:52
  down and goes through Kiev from that area West, Russia now has started taking out gas stations,
• 22:59
  just like they did between, uh, where was it Zaporizhzhya and Kharkov and Zaporizhzhya and
• 23:05
  Sumy. They're taking out along specific roads. Now I've traveled in Russia and the way they travel
• 23:11
  and what they do, it's different than ours. You don't have stops every, uh, exit. In fact,
• 23:18
  exits are much further apart. Okay. And, and, and they are much, much, much further apart.
• 23:25
  And it's pretty funny because there'll be bus stops on the way and people, and they have these
• 23:30
  cool over overarching walkways where you can walk across the highway, you know, these overpass things,
• 23:36
  but it's for people. And then you get out there and there, some local transport will pick you up
• 23:41
  or a family member will come collect you or whatever. It's a system is, is quite a bit
• 23:45
  different. And the reason I tell you that is because, uh, public transport is much more popular.
• 23:51
  And so, and, and much more, much more available by the way. And, and, uh, you know, a hell of a lot
• 23:58
  nicer than ours in most respects. Uh, and when you go to, uh, uh, a long way, if you're driving
• 24:05
  several hours, um, you might see four or five gas station. Yeah. You here, you will see four or five
• 24:13
  gas stations. You get out of your house, you drive down the street to work and you got 10 gas
• 24:19
  stations. And along the highways, every exit just about has a bunch in Russia. They're far more,
• 24:25
  uh, infrequent and that's changing by the way, but not right now. And so when they go out and
• 24:31
  they take out, uh, all 10, let's say gas stations, they're big gas stations. They're big, you know,
• 24:38
  then they're nice and they're modern. There's nothing wrong with them. And they also have
• 24:41
  the little, little crappy ones are the smaller ones that haven't been upgraded yet, but they're,
• 24:45
  they're advancing, uh, just like anybody else's. And so when you go, when you go driving across
• 24:51
  one of these long expanses in Russia, like, uh, last year I went from Ufa. No, in fact,
• 24:58
  Ufa was part of the trip. Halfway there was Ufa. We started out, I can't even remember,
• 25:02
  but, uh, uh, maybe it was, but it was a long freaking, freaking way. And we were going to,
• 25:08
  uh, Bashkir and Bashkir is an hour or so after, uh, after Ufa. And so that was the last leg of
• 25:15
  the trip. And we stopped in Ufa and then on the way, there's a major highway that's being rebuilt
• 25:20
  and turning it from two lanes into four or something like that. And so the traffic is
• 25:25
  steady and it's going along and along that way, maybe four hours on the, on the one side. And
• 25:32
  then, uh, um, the hour after Ufa and Ufa is a pretty big city. And, but, but the, uh, the four
• 25:40
  hours before, um, you don't see any gas station. You're not stopping for much. You know, we stopped
• 25:47
  for, uh, uh, a snack break because you could stop on the road and get the peel, Manny, Petrovsky,
• 25:53
  three gold, Nikki, all this really good food, you know, that you can get along the road from people.
• 25:57
  Like I like doing it in Mexico. When I was in, uh, when I lived in Dallas, I would drive to work,
• 26:04
  uh, from Cedar Hill, Dallas, uh, worked at a corporation up there. And now you would stop
• 26:09
  at this one point, basically right before you hopped on the freeway. And every morning there
• 26:14
  was this, uh, uh, maybe five or six different versions, this crew of, uh, of, uh, Mexican food
• 26:21
  people that would be out there making these food and you could buy the best freaking tamales.
• 26:26
  And you can't find tamales like that. You know, you just can't, I ordered some online. One time
• 26:30
  you could order tamales online and they send them to you in a, in a vacuum packed, cold,
• 26:36
  cold, and it's, it's kept cold. They overnight them to you and they send you these, uh, uh,
• 26:41
  packs of, uh, tamales. It's a hell of a way to buy tamales. I don't know. I got, uh, I got off
• 26:46
  track of course, but, uh, uh, going from these gas stations are big deal. And so Russia has taken
• 26:53
  out the infrastructure of systematically taking out the infrastructure of Kiev and Kiev is mad
• 27:00
  about this operation, nuclear power plant. They're mad about the gas station. So they took
• 27:06
  out all of these ships now for the last two weeks in the sea of as of Russia's now saying, all right,
• 27:12
  well then we're going to take out Kiev and they've been bombing Kiev. I mean, huge for the last two
• 27:17
  weeks. And then there's no air defense left. We went through that, you know, uh, Zelensky said,
• 27:22
  even says there's no air defense and, and, Oh, gee, we're getting a hundred new, uh, uh, what
• 27:27
  do they call them? Pack threes from, uh, from France. That was his trip last week, you know,
• 27:31
  where he's, uh, uh, kissing the ass of the West to get more stuff. And he says, I can't wait.
• 27:36
  We can't manufacture these things. Like Trump told us that's going to be five, seven years away.
• 27:40
  Easy. And he goes, so we need to, you need to give us some, uh, Mr. McCrone and McCrone gives
• 27:46
  him a hundred. Allegedly that hundred ain't going to last two weeks. You know, that's nothing. He
• 27:52
  wants a hundred a month. Okay. You know how many of the U S makes it's not a hundred a month.
• 27:58
  They barely make 20 a month. And the things cost two to $5 million a piece. And, and by the way,
• 28:07
  Russia has so many missiles in fab three thousands and a fab 3000 to 3000 is 3000 pounds of, uh,
• 28:14
  or three, 3000 might be, um, metric, you know, uh, I can't remember, but it's, but it's, uh,
• 28:21
  it's, uh, they call it fab 3000 and it's basically the pounds of TNT or how they,
• 28:26
  how they measure the TNT should have known that. But those things are
• 28:29
  highly destructive. The, they will take out blocks 3000 block at the 1500 level.
• 28:38
  And then they have fab five hundreds and those are for your light work. But the
• 28:44
  destruction is massive. If you ever want to or into that stuff, watch it on, uh, uh, watch it on
• 28:51
  telegram. Oh, and that's why Odessa has become a larger target. He said they had a more limited
• 28:58
  level of attack, uh, late, you know, because Russia doesn't want to kill off the infrastructure
• 29:03
  of these places. They don't want to destroy the people. They want the places that they talked
• 29:09
  about. Okay. Then the host that was suggesting that Odessa had a more limited level of attack,
• 29:15
  but became directly targeted now because of what's happening in Crimean, Sevastopol
• 29:20
  and Kalashnikov agreed. And he said that the logistics argument points to the entire
• 29:25
  Maritime network, Romanian routes is mile chair in the Morsk Odessa and the wider black sea
• 29:33
  coastline all the way along. And he says, these ports are essential rear supply
• 29:38
  architect architecture for the Ukrainian war effort. So destroying port equipment
• 29:43
  and handling capacity interrupts weapons delivery before those weapons can reach Ukraine.
• 29:51
  And, uh, you know, that's, you know, the, the, the escalation plan of the Z monster and of
• 30:00
  Lindsey Graham and hopefully not his sister, but like, I wonder when her first trip to
• 30:05
  Kiev is, is she there already? Who knows? So, and in Kiev, they, they got rid of the
• 30:11
  Ukrainian defense, Mr. Minister Mikhaila Fyodorov and Ukraine's youngest minister.
• 30:17
  He was appointed in January. He'd begun reorganizing the ministry and officially
• 30:21
  closely connected with American technology company and military technology, a link to Elon Musk,
• 30:29
  to Paul and tear and other Western technology providers. So the financial time says
• 30:36
  that Zelensky removed him because he interfered with large contracts
• 30:41
  involving companies collected, connected to Zelensky's inner circle. Uh-huh. So the
• 30:49
  corruption conflict Fyodorov might've blocked procurement contracts, benefiting the people
• 30:54
  that Zelensky wants to benefit. Cause remember it's all about the Benjamins. It's all about the
• 31:01
  money or Zelensky is deliberately reducing drone escalation. Eh, that's not true. The host was
• 31:10
  speculating that Zelensky might understand that Ukrainian deep strike drone activity is provoking
• 31:16
  even increasingly more powerful Russian retaliation. So if he removes Fyodorov,
• 31:23
  which he did, that will weaken Ukrainian drone operations, Western technology connections,
• 31:31
  coordination with Musk, Paul and tear linked systems and broader technological war architecture.
• 31:38
  So Ukraine could then return to a more conventional ground war method associated with general
• 31:43
  Searsky because Searsky doesn't like what's going on on the, uh, with all this drone BS.
• 31:50
  He wants to win the war on the ground or try to, well, he's not going to cause he doesn't have
• 31:55
  any people. And by the way, that is how the host, you know, the host in Kalishnichenko,
• 32:00
  it was an interesting conversation for sure. And, uh, but Kalishnichenko said that Fyodorov's
• 32:06
  dismissal, uh, can't be separated from the resignation of the entire Ukrainian cabinet.
• 32:12
  So the whole government resigned. So every minister formally left office, they left.
• 32:21
  And, uh, Fyodorov wasn't uniquely removed in isolation. Everybody else had already left.
• 32:26
  And then Zelensky removed him because Zelensky's cleaning house, you know, and he's cleaning house
• 32:31
  and starting all over cause they're interfering with his dollars. They're interfering with his
• 32:36
  ability to give his money to people like Mindig down in, uh, Israel who've got a hundred million
• 32:41
  and all of his buddies. All this is, is money laundering 101. You get rid of the people who
• 32:46
  might be trying to save their own country and you can go right back to money laundering as usual.
• 32:52
  And, uh, you know, send, send some more boys to the front, send some more drones to Russia,
• 32:56
  blow up some crap in, uh, as of C and life is good. That's war in Ukraine. And, uh, so
• 33:03
  the Ukrainian government is regularly reshuffled for political convenience. And not only because
• 33:10
  ministers are poorly performing, they're not expected to perform. They're expected to do what
• 33:15
  they're told and launder money properly. He mocks the, the parliamentary priority saying the
• 33:21
  legislature, the, this, uh, Kalishnichenko. And he said the legislature first address
• 33:26
  legalization of pornography and then announced a government resignation. So, uh, it was pretty
• 33:34
  funny the way he said it. He said, well, you know, they legalized pornography and then
• 33:38
  they announced we're all resigning now that pornography is legal. We can go home and watch
• 33:43
  porn basically is what he's saying. And, uh, so it's pretty funny, the sequence of how he put it.
• 33:48
  And he said, this is all just a political diversion to keep people's attention away from the fact that
• 33:53
  Ukraine is freaking losing and they're losing badly and everybody knows it. Well, or everybody
• 34:01
  should know it. And in America, it's all, geez, look at them go. They're attacking inside of
• 34:05
  Russia. They're, they're beating up Russia. No, they're not. They're frustrating Russia.
• 34:11
  That's happening, but this is all nothing but destruction, you know, nothing but destruction
• 34:20
  and who gets there. They're just waiting for the time that they get to come in and rebuild
• 34:26
  and your black rocks, you know, get to, uh, get to increase their massive current wealth
• 34:36
  by taking over everything else that is in ruins and buying it for nothing. That's where we are.
• 34:44
  And that's where we have been for four years. This is what's trying to happen, trying to happen.
• 34:49
  Russia's trying to stop. And everybody says, Russia won't talk. Russia won't cut. We're going
• 34:53
  to force Russia to the table. Russia has been asking you to come to the tables and frigging
• 34:57
  Istanbul 2022 in April when they already had a deal. And Bojo Boris Johnson pulls them out,
• 35:05
  pulls the rug out from under the hall. No, no, no. You fight to the last Ukrainian.
• 35:09
  We'll keep giving you money and we'll keep laundering stuff through there. Hope you got
• 35:13
  enough Patriots. Maybe we'll let you someday, uh, uh, make your own, you know, but, but you keep
• 35:19
  those Ukrainians on the front line, you keep those boosts of vacation lines, uh, moving.
• 35:25
  So the, the public will spend several days, you know, well, let's, let's talk about the series
• 35:30
  of problems that are affecting Zelensky's government, public anger with him. Number one
• 35:35
  in Ukraine, all over the place, his ratings suck. They're, they're not as bad as McCrone's
• 35:42
  or Starmer Starmer's gone now, but, uh, the, the, the Starmer's were, uh, 18% McCrone's are 11
• 35:49
  and getting lower. Well, Zelensky's a tiny bit better than that, but not by much. They claim
• 35:55
  he's a still at 70%. Yeah. Who'd you ask? Everybody else knows that they don't. We got
• 36:01
  abuses by territorial recruitment centers at the Ted Seikas and, uh, uh, the death and alleged
• 36:07
  torture of detainees. That's happening all the time. The violence of military personnel. The,
• 36:13
  I told you the story about the one guy killing somebody that pissed off his wife,
• 36:17
  took out two guys and buried them in the forest. That's Ukraine, the Monaco assassination and
• 36:23
  murder story of killing the oligarch in, uh, uh, and his son. I think his son, well, who either
• 36:29
  they were injured, uh, seriously by this bomb she brought over or, or killed. I can't remember.
• 36:35
  And, uh, uh, this assassination and then she gets home to collect her pay and instead they
• 36:40
  kill her, shoot her and throw her in the street. And, uh, so, you know, that's, that's how it
• 36:44
  works in Ukraine. Okay. Alleged intelligence service involvement in those killings. Like I
• 36:50
  just said, the losses around Konstantinovka, Konstantinovka is done and that's where Serski
• 36:56
  was supposed to pull it up. And they've been lying about that since before the, uh, the,
• 37:00
  the NATO meeting in, uh, Ankara couple of weeks or last week. Hell, it wasn't even that long ago.
• 37:08
  The worsening battlefield conditions and any lack of meaningful Western assistance, except this
• 37:14
  money that gets laundered into Ukraine. They only get about a fourth of it or a third of it. And
• 37:19
  then they launder it right back out. So they launder it right back out of the country and
• 37:25
  all the oligarchs move out. I've met a couple of them, met a couple of them in Miami.
• 37:30
  And, uh, they're, you don't want to associate with these people in my view. And they have
• 37:38
  large piles of hundred dollar bills, large piles. And they wander around telling people,
• 37:45
  you can't speak Russian. And they get in fights in, uh, in, uh, restaurants for, for, uh, the
• 37:51
  Ukrainians, like these people are all Slavic and they get together and they have these fantastic
• 37:58
  restaurants. These Uzbeki restaurants in Miami are fantastic. And the, uh, the shops where you
• 38:04
  buy the, in Miami, they have this huge international food store focused on Russian and Eastern European
• 38:10
  foods. And there's a lot of Ukrainians in there. And in part of it, they have one of those things
• 38:14
  like they have in a, uh, Ikea, you know, they have this entire restaurant area, this food buffet
• 38:20
  line. And that's part of the joy of going to Ikea. You spend the day and you're halfway through and,
• 38:25
  oh my God, Mecca, there's a place where you can have lunch and you go in there and you pork out
• 38:31
  and you eat all this very fattening food. And Ikea is not as good anywhere close to as good
• 38:35
  as you go to this Russian place in Miami and have, they have all these Ukrainian foods and
• 38:40
  all this Russian foods and it's fantastic food. And they have this great place where people are
• 38:45
  cooking, uh, you know, uh, abortion, cabbage roll-ups. And, uh, I forget what those are.
• 38:50
  Is what those are called. These cabbage roll-ups are freaking fantastic. And, uh, they, they make
• 38:56
  them and you'll get all this great food for cheap prices. And, uh, and then you buy all your stuff
• 39:02
  to make your own as well. Uh, well they go into these places and the Ukrainians are wandered around
• 39:10
  with Ukraine flags on their hat and blah, blah, blah. And they're downgrading anyone that's speaking
• 39:15
  Russian and their stories. Plenty of them, of them going into restaurants and saying,
• 39:21
  you can't speak Russian in here. That's what they speak. You idiot. All Ukrainians,
• 39:28
  95 or more percent of Ukrainians speak Russian and really only about 60% speak Ukrainian.
• 39:37
  Zelensky had to learn it. He couldn't speak it very well at all. He had to learn it.
• 39:45
  That's the fact. And he speaks Russian far better than he speaks Ukrainian. He's getting better
• 39:52
  because you know, they, they, uh, have, have outlawed Russian. And if you hear it, you know,
• 39:57
  even in America, the assholes come and punch you, you know, yeah, I don't like, I told you the
• 40:03
  stories of me being in Belarus. Now Belarus doesn't do that, but you get into Lithuania
• 40:08
  and oh my God, these people, Latvia, those people are going to go nuts on you. You speak Russian in
• 40:14
  public. And I said, screw you. That's what I speak. You know, I'm going to spit my, my, my wife and I
• 40:20
  speak Russian. Have a, you know, take off, take off. We should play that for some Getty Lee.
• 40:26
  Should we play that? Maybe so. Anyway, this guy says that the public, now that they've dismissed
• 40:31
  these people, those issues will go away. And instead they'll discuss which minister was removed,
• 40:38
  who's going to replace him. And instead of focusing on the frontline failures,
• 40:42
  the military losses, the recruitment abuses, the economic problems, and the lack of support
• 40:49
  of any meaningful type, the rest of the world's tired of this crap. Uh, he says they do instead
• 40:56
  of all that, this reshuffle will spread and dilute the informational agenda. So government
• 41:02
  always doesn't always arrest bad news. Sometimes they bury it beneath several days of, oh, look
• 41:09
  over there, squirrel, several days of personnel speculation. Instead, we can talk about who's
• 41:16
  next. I wonder who they're going to appoint, which, which, uh, which, uh, oligarch or which, um,
• 41:22
  it's the same thing we do in the United States. You know, you create a crisis. So people don't
• 41:27
  pay attention to the real problem, do something else. Hmm. Well, I tell you what, um, I think,
• 41:35
  do I do one more segment or do I'll do one more segment? Okay. So this coalition of Shank had
• 41:40
  talked about the identities of the replacement ministers being less important because Ukrainian
• 41:47
  governmental policy. And this is his, his analysis, by the way, is controlled by outside
• 41:54
  intelligence and political networks anyway. So whether you replace this kid who was working
• 42:01
  heavily with volunteer and Elon Musk and all those people, whether you get rid of them or not,
• 42:07
  it doesn't matter because the next person's going to be working very intently with these people.
• 42:13
  Anyway, that's what they're looking for. And he emphasized Britain in particular, you know,
• 42:18
  Keir Starmer, he's meeting with Zelensky anyway, his last day in office or whatever it is.
• 42:23
  He's going to meet with, uh, meet with Zelensky. Oh, geez, I'm on my way out. Maybe I give you
• 42:28
  another few billion, you know, maybe I could throw some pack threes your way. Maybe we can,
• 42:34
  we can, uh, squeeze the old Trumpster to give you some, uh, very limited number of Patriots.
• 42:40
  They're all, the whole thing's a joke. Um, his argument is that Britain wants to have still,
• 42:47
  because they did have some along with the United States, the Trump's backed off a little bit,
• 42:51
  but initially that's what it was. And that's what they were creating with the new lens of the world.
• 42:56
  And, uh, uh, you know, and, uh, what was the name of that company? Um, that, uh, Hunter Biden was
• 43:03
  in Burisma and the Burisma types of stuff that, uh, you know, give billions to close family members
• 43:09
  and friends. And, uh, we wonder if the old Trumpster with his, uh, several hundred million
• 43:15
  dollars, what was it? 300, $300 million, uh, rare earth things, which are all now in the territory
• 43:23
  of that taken over by Russia. And notably, interestingly, the place where a counter
• 43:32
  attacks, if they occur are occurring nowhere else, just in the places where these rare earths are.
• 43:39
  And the killing of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant guy, you know, they're, they're very
• 43:44
  brutal over there in Ukraine. They are brutal. And, uh, you know,
• 43:53
  the end result justifies any provocation. If you can get any of the rare earths, if you kill,
• 44:01
  you know, 500 Russian civilians or, uh, you know, a school bus full of kids on the way to doing it.
• 44:07
  Well, so be it, you know, at least we got the, at least we got the rare earths,
• 44:13
  but the trouble is they're not even getting the rare earth. So I don't know. Britain wants to
• 44:20
  continue control over Ukraine. That's why Starmer is doing it on the way out. And don't think the
• 44:25
  new guy is going to be any different because he's not permanent separation of Russia from Europe.
• 44:30
  They may have established that already construction of a Baltic black sea geopolitical
• 44:37
  arc. They want to come from the Baltics, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, through Belarus. They've
• 44:43
  been trying to get Belarus forever and then push Russia back, um, in influence from there.
• 44:49
  I think that's going to happen at some point. Anyway, I really do, but maybe not in the black
• 44:54
  sea. Uh, there's plenty of talk now about, um, um, about, um, these ports in there and, uh, and,
• 45:05
  and the damages that they're doing. Um, but there's the American policy is pretty complicated
• 45:11
  right now because of Trumpster. Uh, frankly, a part of me is glad over that because it's such a
• 45:17
  that at least we're not the only bad, the, the, the fact of whose bad guys are coming, um,
• 45:26
  are becoming more and more apparent to people, if that makes sense. And, uh, you know, this
• 45:34
  black sea Baltics geopolitical arc that they're trying to create, and they want to keep their
• 45:40
  influence over Zelensky in the Ukrainian state. So about two, three days ago,
• 45:45
  Zelensky, uh, rather early this time extended martial law for another three months. So the
• 45:50
  war's going on for another three months. He extended no elections another three months,
• 45:55
  you know, he's done it all. And, uh, uh, and he keeps on doing it and it's not a very popular
• 45:59
  move over there. It's really not, but it's popular for the West. It's popular for the
• 46:04
  keep because they have influence over this joker. Um, and he's, he's, he's just a dictator.
• 46:11
  You know, you talk about Lukashenko, he is staying in office for 20 years and he's only
• 46:16
  going to leave when he dies. Putin's only going to leave when he dies. Lindsey Graham's only going
• 46:21
  to leave when he dies. You know, it's the same freaking concept all over the place. And it's
• 46:27
  justified because Zelensky works is, is, is anti-Russia. The, the, the, the enemy, how's that
• 46:36
  go? The enemy of our enemy is our friend, right? Uh, Ukraine's not our friend, but they are the
• 46:43
  enemy of our enemy, right? It was in Russia is not really our enemy, but that's what people are
• 46:48
  saying that Russia is no different than Ukraine. The peoples are the same. You know, there, there's
• 46:53
  a little more, uh, uh, uh, banderism, uh, in Western Ukraine, but in Eastern Ukraine, they're
• 47:00
  all the same, uh, from Kiev East. And, uh, they're good people. I'm not saying the other ones aren't,
• 47:06
  but they have weird thought processes and a lot of countries do. But, but once I think that one of the
• 47:13
  biggest problems in America is that people do not really take the time to understand that other
• 47:22
  countries have pride as well. Do you see the dispute now in the world cup? Think about this,
• 47:29
  think about this in relation to it. They're going to be sanctioned probably, uh, Argentina
• 47:35
  because they put up a banner or something about the Falklands that they put up something about,
• 47:41
  they put a banner up regarding the Falcons and they're going to probably be sanctioned.
• 47:46
  So they're in round two against England and then they want to talk about the Falklands. And, uh,
• 47:51
  so the players brought a banner on the field and, uh, and, and displayed it. And now they're going to,
• 47:57
  you know, take a beat. And well, those are people who are proud of what they did,
• 48:02
  you know, who are proud of their fight and they want to use their platform to get something else
• 48:06
  done. Right. And so, uh, to get something to make a statement. So they make the statement
• 48:12
  and now they're going to get in trouble for making the statement. If you aren't, if you aren't kissing
• 48:18
  the ass of the government, if you aren't kissing the ass of the establishment that you, they come
• 48:23
  after you. I'm going to tell you some more about that tomorrow and civic outlaws, by the way,
• 48:28
  but right now I'm going to, so, uh, it's summertime and, uh, you know, I like summer,
• 48:33
  but, uh, there's also, uh, there's plenty to be sad about, you know, and so I'm going to play a
• 48:40
  song for you that I particularly like. And, uh, you know, I still, every time I open my music
• 48:47
  playlist, uh, it, it opens up that orchestra Royal safari that I like to play. And I play that
• 48:53
  probably once a week. I played it yesterday though. So I won't do it today, but this song that I'm
• 48:59
  going to play for you is, uh, by Lana Del Rey. It's called, uh, summertime sadness. And we're
• 49:08
  going to play that for you because I like it.
• 50:27
  I just wanted you to know
• 50:52
  I'm feeling electric tonight, cruising down the coast, going about 99.
• 51:01
  I got my bad baby by my heavenly side. I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight.
• 51:11
  Oh my God, I feel it in the air, telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare.
• 51:19
  Honey, I'm, I'm dying. I feel it everywhere. Nothing scares me anymore.
• 51:28
  Kiss me before you go.
• 51:32
  Summertime sadness.
• 51:36
  I just wanted you to know
• 51:40
  I'm feeling electric tonight.
• 51:46
  I got that summertime, summertime sadness.
• 51:50
  Summer, summertime, summertime sadness.
• 51:53
  Summer, summertime, summertime sadness.
• 51:59
  Oh, oh, oh.
• 52:01
  If you're gone, I'm gonna try.
• 52:25
  Summertime, summertime sadness.
• 52:29
  Summer, summertime, summertime sadness.
• 52:33
  Got that summertime, summertime sadness.
• 52:37
  Oh, oh, oh.
• 52:41
  Kiss me before you go.
• 53:36
  Very nice, hope that's not too loud, well it's coming out pretty loud, let's see here,
• 53:43
  and we have returned, we are back, we are back, and we are gonna continue on about these
• 53:52
  protests that occurred in Ukraine as well, and nobody else, when they were removed, he said,
• 54:01
  this is the same Kalishnichenko by the way, said that it's pretty funny because nobody else was
• 54:06
  protested when they left, they received protests that he was removed or whatever, there was none
• 54:11
  of that, and he said that there are demonstrations in several cities, organized public support for
• 54:17
  this guy, anti-corruption is surrounding everybody, like he's a guy who wasn't going to, it
• 54:25
  was a younger guy too, that he just pissed off the wrong people, kind of like I did with the Missouri
• 54:31
  Bar, the assholes in charge up there, you piss off the wrong people, they destroy you, and that's what
• 54:37
  happened to this guy, and that's how it works when you have power in government, you know,
• 54:44
  they use it to target people they don't like or enemies, and this guy was causing
• 54:50
  problems for Zelensky and his inner circle, and they got rid of him, and the
• 54:57
  liberal media, western in other words, portrays him as a reformer, so everybody's now, even in
• 55:03
  the west, is upset, why did you get rid of this guy, this guy was connected with Elon Musk, with
• 55:07
  all these things, he was gonna give us victory, he was gonna help us with the
• 55:12
  drone stuff, and then they get rid of him, and so this is the protests for young people
• 55:18
  carrying signs after Zelensky tries to alter the authority of Naboo, remember that from a year ago,
• 55:26
  when they came targeting his inner circle, and so he changed all the stuff in authority,
• 55:31
  there were marches in the streets, it was crazy, well now they're doing the same for this guy,
• 55:35
  and the same political and donor networks that do exist are mobilizing to defend this
• 55:43
  Fyodorov guy, and so there's plenty of inner turmoil in Ukraine that nobody pays attention
• 55:49
  to, and all the corruption is very alive and very well, and now Kalashnikov, I mean there's still
• 55:56
  criticisms of this Fyodorov, because just like in America, all you're doing is transferring one
• 56:02
  corrupt set of power to the next corrupt set of power, so don't think anything changes just
• 56:10
  because you suddenly have a donkey instead of an elephant, it doesn't change, it's all the same,
• 56:18
  the players at the top are just transferred, but all the inner workings of the crap
• 56:23
  still continue, the money laundering to Ukraine still continues, and all the other
• 56:31
  benefit of the wealthy projects continue, and really I don't have a problem with that as long
• 56:37
  as I get my cut, trouble is none of us get our cut, none of us, we all, as Americans we understand,
• 56:44
  you know, in some countries, I had a conversation with a guy from, where's he from, I can't remember,
• 56:49
  Middle East somewhere, and when you're in the Middle East, and when you're in, even if you're in
• 56:54
  Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, any of the stands over there, any of the places in Southeast Europe,
• 57:00
  all the way over through the South Asia, the fastest growing places population-wise in the
• 57:08
  world, okay, when you go through there, and you go mostly through the Middle East, paying a fee
• 57:17
  to get something done, to the person who can assist you to get it done, is a regular event,
• 57:25
  and in many parts of Russia it is too, and trust me, the same thing goes on here, you know, you see
• 57:30
  it on TV all the time, and don't think that it doesn't go, you know, how are we going to get
• 57:33
  this, well, you're going to give me a political donation of blah, blah, blah, and you have to do
• 57:37
  it on the open, because, you know, we get reviewed on that, but nobody will pay attention to it,
• 57:42
  so give it to me anyway, and we'll do it, and then you'll get this, and I'll get that,
• 57:46
  so all they're doing is exchanging services here too, here, we don't call that corruption,
• 57:53
  you know, we say that if you're giving money directly to somebody, that's fine, but if you're
• 57:58
  giving it to somebody's campaign, you're not giving it to him, right, he's getting rich anyway,
• 58:03
  because of the influence that you're giving his way, but that's how lobbying works, that's how
• 58:09
  all it is, is a big money grubbing issue, well, over in other countries, and it happened, I mean,
• 58:16
  Greece, Italy, I mean, this was pretty prevalent over there for years, you know, it still went on,
• 58:21
  hell, the movies aren't necessarily fake, just because they happen to be about mafia over here,
• 58:27
  but that was a way of life, it was typical to pay some sort of Don type figure, you know, to
• 58:36
  grease the skids of you being successful, and you pay your fee, now, I'm not saying it's proper,
• 58:43
  I don't like it, but those systems exist everywhere, here, we're just a little more
• 58:50
  cagey in how we do it, but trust me, it's the same damn thing, you know, if you're gonna get
• 58:56
  the big road project, you know, here's the Mrs. Pie, and underneath the pie, oh, geez,
• 59:02
  they put some of that wrapping paper in there, but that wrapping paper just happens to be
• 59:07
  stock certificates for whatever, or, you know, a big pile of cash will be delivered, you know,
• 59:12
  here's a pallet of $100 bills, you know, we'll deliver it to your garage, you know,
• 59:18
  as my personal gift to you, don't act like that crap doesn't happen here, and so what he's saying
• 59:24
  is, the, Fyodorov was allegedly anti-corruption reformer, trying to get through and at least take
• 59:33
  out the current crowd, because arguably, if you take out the current crowd, then you can start
• 59:40
  all over, and at least the corruption is down for a while, but in Ukraine, it just comes back anyway,
• 59:46
  just like it does everywhere else, but in Ukraine, it's very quick, they just kill off a couple of
• 59:52
  oligarchs, or exile them with their piles of cash to go to Monaco, and, you know, they get killed
• 59:57
  later by somebody they send over to kill them, and they don't think twice about this stuff, by the
• 1:00:03
  way, it's a regular thing for them, that is their thinking process, their death lists, you know,
• 1:00:09
  that they have, that say they come from Langley, Virginia, their death, what do they call that,
• 1:00:15
  the, the, the, the peace creating list, you know, but it says it's from Langley, and everybody on
• 1:00:25
  that list, once you end up on that list, they're trying to kill you, you know, that means you're
• 1:00:30
  a target, you're a legitimate target for death, that's what you are, and so those things are
• 1:00:36
  real, that's not a conspiracy theory, it's real, okay, and those lists come out, now, you don't
• 1:00:44
  want to be on that list, because when you're on that list, there are crazies out there who'd be
• 1:00:49
  happy to take you out, and then, you know, claim some kind of a benefit from it, there are stories
• 1:00:55
  about people actually getting, getting money from it, there was a huge takedown in Russia a couple
• 1:01:02
  of days ago, with a bunch of people who, they took a whole warehouse out, and a video of it is on,
• 1:01:08
  on telegram, and then it's all these Ukrainians that are funded by people that are the same,
• 1:01:14
  same types of people as the Miratorets list, and it's the same thing, so if you go into Russia,
• 1:01:19
  and can, they opened a whole little factory, not a factory, warehouse, they opened a warehouse,
• 1:01:25
  and they imported in all these drones, and all these things, and they were inside of Russia,
• 1:01:30
  and this was all being controlled by the VSU, the, the people from, from the Ukrainian
• 1:01:36
  Secret Service, and they, they come in, and they rent a warehouse, they bring in all this
• 1:01:43
  destructive stuff, C4, hundreds of drones, and they come in here, and they start putting them
• 1:01:49
  together, and they're taking them off from inside of Russia, to blow up objects inside of Russia,
• 1:01:55
  and they were, they were caught like a day before their, their planned whatever, apparently,
• 1:02:00
  somebody was involved from the very beginning, from the Russian FSB, and they were involved
• 1:02:07
  from the very beginning, so it was, I mean, it was hell of a story, I mean, that you get a read
• 1:02:12
  over there, and you get to see, you know, all of that, you know, they're doing the same things,
• 1:02:19
  you know, like our FBI may be, you know, taking out a terrorist plot, you know, that's what,
• 1:02:24
  their FSB is doing too, and, and they're working it, and so, the points of this guy on this Ukrainian
• 1:02:32
  defense minister, and all of this corruption underneath, he says the defense minister controls
• 1:02:38
  half of the national budget right now, that procurement money is a central political issue,
• 1:02:46
  especially to the Green Goblin, and the ministry is less about battlefield command,
• 1:02:51
  than control of contracts with Elon Musk, Polentier, companies like that, and the resources
• 1:02:59
  behind it, and if Fyodorov has an anti-corruption record, well, I think, I don't even know that it's
• 1:03:06
  anti-corruption, I think the guy was corrupt too, he knows how the system works, and he's part of it,
• 1:03:11
  but he's on a different side of the playing field than the Green Goblin, that's the point,
• 1:03:17
  and so, he's getting rid of more people out of his, that aren't following his absolute
• 1:03:25
  dictatorship, so to think that Zelensky is anything other than a dictator, think again,
• 1:03:31
  friends and neighbors, because you're, you'd be incorrect, and so, Ukrainians do have short
• 1:03:37
  political memories though, because you just buy them off, if you give me, you give me 10 bucks,
• 1:03:43
  you can have my vote, sure, 10 bucks goes pretty far in Ukraine, let's do it, and you give me
• 1:03:49
  several thousand, I'll shut up and leave you alone, give me something, and all they're doing
• 1:03:53
  is passing around Western money, because they don't have any of their own, their infrastructure
• 1:03:58
  is destroyed, they can't even ship out grain anymore, they got nothing, and who's to blame
• 1:04:06
  for that? Who's to blame? Oh, it's Russia, Russia's to blame, no, I beg to differ with you,
• 1:04:14
  it's all the a-holes from the West that have tried to use Ukraine as a club to beat Russia,
• 1:04:21
  because they want Russia too, they want Russia divided into four parts, that Russia proper,
• 1:04:27
  move them way over to Siberia somewhere, and then we'll take all the places West, you know,
• 1:04:33
  Moscow's a great city, St. Petersburg is fantastic, why don't we just push these people back,
• 1:04:39
  we'll divide it into four, the Western part where Moscow and St. Petersburg are,
• 1:04:46
  maybe all the way down through Kazan, we can take that and turn it into another liberal bastion,
• 1:04:53
  and push the real Russians back to Siberia where they belong, that's what's happening, okay,
• 1:04:59
  and so this part with Fyodorov is just more of that, so a little bit about, he talked about
• 1:05:06
  Fyodorov failed to reform, Fyodorov, he failed to reform the recruitment system as well,
• 1:05:14
  and he was supposed to do that, he said his, the reason, you know, while he was there, we had this
• 1:05:20
  unrest in Lvov where the hundreds of people on the streets overturning cars, smashing windows,
• 1:05:26
  beating up these boozification officers, and, you know, they were assaulting recruitment personnel,
• 1:05:32
  they're killing people taken into the recruiting centers, there's torture and detention sites where
• 1:05:38
  people have no legal rights at all, and no protection from the government, and you're not
• 1:05:43
  allowed to refuse anything, and this gives Zelensky a political argument that Fyodorov
• 1:05:49
  failed to reform the TCC, and that was part of the recruitment committee, and that Fyodorov
• 1:05:56
  had failed to reform it, and so therefore, I have a reason to get rid of him, but it's just a pretext,
• 1:06:02
  you know, kind of like a cop pulling you over on a one o'clock, he's really pulling you over
• 1:06:07
  at one o'clock in the morning on a pretext that, oh gee, I wonder what the chances are that this
• 1:06:13
  guy's had a drink, what's he doing out at one o'clock, and that's the real reason he pulls
• 1:06:17
  you over, so he goes, ah, you know, you might have crossed the center line, oh yeah, what did
• 1:06:24
  you really stop me for, man, how about taking a breathalyzer, how about you kiss my ass, basically,
• 1:06:30
  it's a pretextual stop, well, it's a pretext to claim that Fyodorov failed to reform the TCC,
• 1:06:37
  how you gonna reform it from January to now, by the way, and make people stop killing people in
• 1:06:44
  recruiting centers, or beating the snot out of them on the highway, or getting rid of the unrest,
• 1:06:51
  the unrest isn't with Fyodorov, the unrest is with the friggin' process, you know, and what
• 1:06:57
  they are doing, they're not for the war, and the people that are left are people that don't want to
• 1:07:03
  fight, they've already made everybody, the people who wanted to fight were on the front lines in
• 1:07:07
  2022, then they got to the people who, well, you know, maybe I'll join, but I don't think so, and
• 1:07:13
  then they collected all them, and their recruitment age is friggin' 25 to 60, what are you doing
• 1:07:20
  picking up a 55-year-old dude to go, and it was 55 ages, you know, and when it first started in 2022,
• 1:07:26
  they raised it to 60, in like 2020, late 23, early 24, they raised it to 60, but they won't lower it
• 1:07:34
  to 18 to get the guys who might actually be able to do something, they won't do that,
• 1:07:39
  because they'd have even more unrest, because, but who are they building, or what are they building
• 1:07:45
  for those kids that are left to not defend their country, you say that an 18 to 25-year-old doesn't
• 1:07:52
  want to defend his country, those are probably some of your strongest ones that would want to
• 1:07:56
  defend, but you can't get, all the ones that wanted, they allowed to join, but they aren't
• 1:08:01
  forcing them to join, instead, they're taking people later in life that aren't anywhere near
• 1:08:06
  as healthy as these younger kids, and they're sending them off to die on the front lines,
• 1:08:12
  that's what's happening. So, is this Fyodorov gonna disappear politically? Klishnikov doesn't
• 1:08:20
  think Zelensky will discard him completely, he thinks that Zelensky might keep him close, you
• 1:08:26
  know, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, because he doesn't want him to be an
• 1:08:30
  independent political alternative, and run for office against him, he's a popular kid,
• 1:08:35
  he's young, he's got a digitally, digital modernizer, you know, he's modern, image,
• 1:08:40
  he has outside support, and plenty of it, and he could be politically useful to the Green Goblin,
• 1:08:47
  and Zelensky might benefit from controlling the guy, and bringing him into the circle,
• 1:08:52
  but if that was the case, he wouldn't have got rid of him out of this post anyway.
• 1:08:56
  So, you know, Zelensky doesn't want him to create his own independent power base, because he
• 1:09:02
  already has relationships with outside people, like Palantir, like Elon Musk, and people would
• 1:09:08
  back him to do it. Hell, I'd back him, you know what I mean, if he was a reasonable type of guy,
• 1:09:14
  and if you think you're gonna get with these guys, and there's not gonna be corruption,
• 1:09:17
  you better think again, because the corruption will be there anyway, okay?
• 1:09:23
  I wanted to go through some of the big headlines, though, on this water and drought rumors that are
• 1:09:28
  happening in Crimea, there is, you know, the Ukrainians are being entertained with rumors of,
• 1:09:35
  and remember, Pervy Sevastopolski is a Crimean, Sevastopol's in the Crimea, and so it's a Crimean
• 1:09:43
  station, Russian, formerly Ukrainian, there's plenty of both on Crimea, at least language-wise,
• 1:09:51
  but it's the vast majority are Russian ethnicity in Pervy Sevastopolski, and they're talking about
• 1:10:01
  the AI propaganda and panic campaigns that they're sending all over Ukraine to keep the Ukrainian
• 1:10:08
  people, yay, we're winning, right, or trying to, right? And so the headlines of Ukrainians are
• 1:10:14
  being reassured or entertained, as they say, I'm Pervy Sevastopolski, with rumors of panic in the
• 1:10:20
  Crimea, the people are panicking over there, drought, water shortage, and hunger, well, that's
• 1:10:26
  because Ukraine is blowing up all these grain ships and doing all that stuff, but those ships
• 1:10:31
  were being used to transport out to Africa and other places anyway, and so, and there's no,
• 1:10:37
  the drought, that's because the Ukrainians are shutting off water to all those places for many
• 1:10:43
  of the reservoirs in the northern side, and they've been doing that since 2008 when they started,
• 1:10:50
  that's what they used to try to control the Donbass region, they cut off their water,
• 1:10:54
  they cut it off, and from the big reservoirs and said, you have to get your water elsewhere,
• 1:11:00
  or you need to kiss our butts here in Kiev, and they wouldn't do it, so now they're saying the
• 1:11:06
  same thing and saying, yeah, well, look what we did, though, there's panic all over Crimea,
• 1:11:10
  there's drought, there's water shortages and hunger, so this is the, you know, a broad recurring issue,
• 1:11:19
  there are real shortage and infrastructure problems anyway, because of all the bombing going on there,
• 1:11:25
  but they all get exaggerated through social media and political efforts to make Crimea appear
• 1:11:31
  unlivable, I've been thinking about heading over there and seeing what it's like right now,
• 1:11:37
  I think it'd be a worthy effort, and I'm wondering, you know, it might be worth a few days
• 1:11:44
  to fly over to Crimea and report from there and see what's happening,
• 1:11:51
  uh-oh, old Hegseth has got a This Is War, put me in coach, he's got a This Is War shirt going on,
• 1:11:58
  and he's, look at him exercise, wow, he's got a new, he calls it the High T Initiative,
• 1:12:06
  wonder what it means, oh, my God, we're in the army, we're doing push-ups, well, that's a good thing,
• 1:12:12
  that guy, I don't know why, he is offensive to me, I'm offended every time I look at him,
• 1:12:19
  and he has zero respect for anyone above him, and I think that's a mistake with anybody that,
• 1:12:27
  you know, that what he did to clean house in the Pentagon was probably wrong, you know,
• 1:12:34
  some of them probably need to go or limit what their authority is, but you don't cut them all
• 1:12:39
  off at the same time and go, we're gonna reform and start over, and by the way, we're no longer
• 1:12:43
  the Department of Defense, it's all about the war, just like enforcement, law enforcement,
• 1:12:48
  I'm a law enforcement officer, oh, you're not a policeman, nope, it's all about the enforcement,
• 1:12:52
  baby, you know, get enforced, get over here and let me enforce something against you,
• 1:12:56
  oh, you don't even know what the hell you're gonna enforce, but something, you know,
• 1:13:00
  the focus is on enforcement and the focus is on war, and you know, if you like that,
• 1:13:06
  you're a warmonger, and I don't like that, you remember when the police departments were all
• 1:13:10
  getting tanks and Bradleys, remember the story I told you about the poor sap in Kansas City that
• 1:13:18
  had his car chewed up by an idiot firing a .50 cal from, might not have been a .50 cal,
• 1:13:25
  but it was a mounted turret gun of some sort that he fired into this guy, there were like 200
• 1:13:30
  and something holes in the guy's pickup truck when they cut him down for a slow vehicle chase
• 1:13:37
  followed by like 22 cop cars, you remember that stupidity, and that poor guy was turned into
• 1:13:43
  Swiss cheese, and no matter what, even, let's say he got out of the car and pointed a weapon,
• 1:13:54
  he didn't, he got out with, he was holding a gun in a way, there's no way he could have
• 1:13:59
  fired it, I watched the video repeatedly, and he put it out there and he came out,
• 1:14:04
  but it was still in his hand, 40 something cops there, it's not like this guy's gonna do anything,
• 1:14:09
  and all of them are wearing armor anyway, they're all SWAT geared up, and oh gee,
• 1:14:16
  they fired the crap out of him, hundreds of bullets, well, that's probably an exaggeration,
• 1:14:21
  but a big number, and there were only nine cops that fired out of this 40, well,
• 1:14:29
  how come they all weren't firing, because they want that chance to fire the weapon,
• 1:14:36
  that's what I say, they militarize it, and how do they do that, by calling it enforcement,
• 1:14:41
  by calling it the Department of War, we're going to war, we're getting ready for war,
• 1:14:46
  what about defense, a-holes, why don't we figure out how to defend first, and I watched a report
• 1:14:54
  the other day that says our patriots, and this was interesting to me, because I'd never heard
• 1:14:58
  numbers this bad, and there's a guy, an expert that talked on there, he was on a channel with
• 1:15:03
  Glenn Dyson, if I recall, and he's a military missile expert that works at, he's a professor
• 1:15:11
  at MIT, I think, and I can't remember his name, but it was very interesting, and he said all the
• 1:15:16
  way through the Gulf War that, what's his name, Chaney, was aware that the Patriot missile had a
• 1:15:31
  less than 5% accuracy rate of taking out incoming Scud missiles from the Iraqi defenses,
• 1:15:41
  less than 5%, and that now those numbers are comparable, that the Patriots aren't taking out
• 1:15:47
  anything, and he showed videos of them flying over Israel, and he said, here's how you see where they
• 1:15:52
  hit, and then he explained how the new PAC-3 is different from the PAC-2, and the PAC-3 is a
• 1:15:59
  smaller, lighter missile that attacks it, and he goes, even when they attack it, it doesn't do
• 1:16:04
  anything to the warhead, because they hit late, they have to hit the front of the missile in order to
• 1:16:09
  stop the detonation, but usually if they do hit at all, they're hitting the rear part of the missile
• 1:16:15
  that's coming in, because they can't keep up with it, they're not fast enough, and all the
• 1:16:20
  manufacturers know this, that the percentage is so low, he said that testimony in, that there was
• 1:16:26
  testimony in Congress, and he recorded, he played it, he showed it, and these guys said, well, he
• 1:16:32
  said, well, what exactly is an intercept, he goes, what is intercept, and the guy defined the intercept
• 1:16:38
  as they passed each other, they crossed, their paths crossed, you know, they were fired at each
• 1:16:44
  other, and he goes, so, so basically, you're not taking them out, you're passing by, and so yours
• 1:16:52
  passes by, and theirs passes by, and he acknowledged that was true, it was, this is not AI generated,
• 1:16:58
  go out, watch it, it was freaking interesting, it might be worthy of play right here,
• 1:17:03
  and I'm not going to, but the broader issue of all of this stuff, you know, the panic,
• 1:17:10
  and the hunger, and the drought, and the shortages, and the stupid missile stuff,
• 1:17:14
  and the shortages of missiles, is that in Crimea right now, there really are shortages and
• 1:17:18
  infrastructure problems, but they're all being exaggerated, they want to make Crimea appear
• 1:17:23
  unlivable, and they want, you know, incomplete public information to stop creating space for
• 1:17:32
  all these rumors that are coming in, they would rather have a five-page report coming from the
• 1:17:38
  government itself that says what it is, there was an interesting thing on the same channel yesterday,
• 1:17:42
  they were talking about the number of missiles coming into Russia, and they had an interesting
• 1:17:46
  expert on that, I'm kind of liking this Pervy-Sevestovsky programming, I like it,
• 1:17:52
  and what they're doing, it's very informative, and they cross section pretty well, you know,
• 1:17:57
  with opinions from, you know, different sides, and Crimea has some strong Ukrainian
• 1:18:05
  influence as well, you know, there's plenty of both types of people living there, Ukrainians and
• 1:18:10
  Russians, ethnicity, and so, but the U.S., you know, now they, then they got into this, and they
• 1:18:17
  called the opening label, I found this rather amusing, and this is on the Graham sanctions bill,
• 1:18:27
  so when he started talking about it, this expert, Kalashnikova, no, which one is it,
• 1:18:35
  or is this Zakharova, well, Zakharova had another, she published her thing last night,
• 1:18:42
  and I haven't had a chance to listen to it all, I only listened to the first half hour or so,
• 1:18:46
  but it was pretty interesting, and it kind of cross sectioned with what this guy was saying,
• 1:18:51
  when they were, the guy that I've been talking about the whole time here, and then he talked a
• 1:18:57
  bit about sanctions, but she did too, and so what they call it, they have this section of it called
• 1:19:02
  sanctions of a dead man, I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh about that, but sanctions of a dead man,
• 1:19:08
  so the United States is preparing a severe anti-Russian bill authored by the late Lindsey
• 1:19:13
  Graham, and Graham's dead, his sister temporarily receives his seat, the sanctions bill is promoted
• 1:19:19
  as his legacy, everybody's got to pass this, because this is legacy, baby, well, it shouldn't
• 1:19:24
  have been passed in the first frigging place, it's a mistake, and it's stupid, so now Trump
• 1:19:29
  is distancing himself from Graham's hawkishness now, but he supports continuing Graham's policies,
• 1:19:35
  Zakharova said that Graham's anti-Russian ideology, the relay baton will be passed to somebody else,
• 1:19:43
  you know, the next, you know, the baton in the race is going to be passed to somebody just like
• 1:19:47
  him, that was her comment, and the other guy called it sanctions of a dead man package,
• 1:19:52
  you know, they're going to pass it, it's a mistake either way, but, you know, they're still going to
• 1:19:57
  pass it, let's talk about the Ukrainian drone killing the chief officer of the Zaporizhia
• 1:20:02
  nuclear power plant, it's, they're framing it, even in Pervy-Savastovsky, as an act of
• 1:20:10
  terrorism against a nuclear infrastructure, and the facts aren't quite here yet, but they,
• 1:20:17
  the, I found the name of the engineer in the exact location, and the nature of the drone attack,
• 1:20:23
  let me see if I can find the whole story for you here, I know I have it, because I read it right
• 1:20:29
  before the program, it finally came out, and I just want to make sure, let's see here,
• 1:20:36
  that I have the newest version of it, let's see,
• 1:20:47
  what we do is called international terrorism, said a Ukrainian spy behind the Monaco,
• 1:20:54
  behind the Monaco bombing, where is the Zaporizhia dude though, that's what I want,
• 1:21:01
  uh, because, damn it, now I'm getting grumpy, because it was here, and I wonder if we look at
• 1:21:15
  Zaporizhia lowering the nuclear threshold, nope, not that one, uh, I wonder if it's in here,
• 1:21:22
  well damn it, I'm not going to be able to find it, I knew I should have, I should have
• 1:21:27
  put the link on it beforehand, and I didn't, um, I didn't do it, where, we're going to look one more
• 1:21:38
  time, just a couple more seconds, bear with me here, um, let's see, no, it's not going to be
• 1:21:47
  out there, damn it, well, I had that story, uh, well, no, here it is, I found it, yay,
• 1:21:52
  Moscow demands IAEA action over the terrorist killing of nuclear power plant staff. Zaporizhia
• 1:22:01
  nuclear power plant's chief engineer and his driver were killed in a Ukrainian drone strike
• 1:22:06
  Wednesday, and Moscow is expecting an explicit response from the IAEA after the killing of a
• 1:22:15
  senior engineer at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant by the Kiev regime, said Maria Zakharova.
• 1:22:21
  Europe's largest nuclear power plant has been targeted by Ukraine on multiple occasions since
• 1:22:27
  Russia took control of the facility in March of 2022. On Wednesday, the Russian state nuclear
• 1:22:34
  corporation Rosatom said a Ukrainian drone struck a ZNPP service vehicle on the edge of the plant's
• 1:22:41
  industrial site near the city of Energodar, which killed its chief engineer, Alexander Yakovlev,
• 1:22:47
  and driver, Dmitry Filipov. Rosatom CEO, Alexei Lykachev, described the strike as a deliberate
• 1:22:56
  terrorist attack, you know, that stress may be different on Lykachev, might be Lykachev,
• 1:23:00
  I don't remember, but a deliberate terrorist attack by the Kiev regime, said Yakovlev,
• 1:23:05
  and he had devoted his, said Yakovlev had devoted his life to the nuclear industry,
• 1:23:11
  and died in essence at his post. Lykachev added that similar attacks over the past two and a
• 1:23:17
  half months have killed 13 people and wounded 48 others, and said they pose a real threat of a
• 1:23:23
  massive nuclear incident that will affect parts of Russia, Ukraine, and the EU. And remember,
• 1:23:29
  the winds generally prevail to the west. So if they do something, create another Chernobyl,
• 1:23:35
  it's flying over Europe, you idiots. So reacting to the attacks, Zakharova said it should finally
• 1:23:42
  compel the IAEA director, Rafael Grossi, to acknowledge the crimes of the Kiev regime,
• 1:23:49
  and issue a clear public statement. I agree. Grossi, that's my part in there, story continues,
• 1:23:54
  Grossi is obliged to at last see this crime, she said, adding that Moscow's experts,
• 1:24:01
  or expects the agency deliver an unequivocal condemnation of the Zelensky regime.
• 1:24:07
  Later on Wednesday, the IAEA said on X that Russia informed it of the killings,
• 1:24:11
  that Grossi had condemned the incident, calling it an unacceptable attack on the plant and its
• 1:24:16
  management that seriously threatens the nuclear safety. The agency reiterated its call for an
• 1:24:22
  immediate end to all attacks on or near nuclear sites and their staff. So Grossi complied,
• 1:24:30
  right? Russia has repeatedly urged the IAEA to respond more forcefully to Ukrainian attacks on
• 1:24:36
  the plant, because they've been ongoing for four years. They're trying to create a nuclear
• 1:24:41
  incident. Likuchov has previously warned that radiation knows no borders and doesn't recognize
• 1:24:47
  a passport, and argued that any nuclear incident will pose a long-term threat to multiple countries.
• 1:24:54
  Quite true. Hello, Chernobyl. In recent months, Kiev has also increased targeted infrastructure
• 1:25:00
  linking to the plant and to the nearby city of Energodar, according to Russian officials.
• 1:25:06
  Kindergarten, schools, roads, transport enterprise, and vehicles delivering supplies
• 1:25:10
  to the local community have all come under attack. The IAEA, which maintains a permanent
• 1:25:16
  team of experts at the ZNPP, has repeatedly confirmed that the plant and its surroundings
• 1:25:22
  have come under attack by Ukraine, but has not assigned responsibility. They won't acknowledge
• 1:25:30
  that it's Ukraine, right? But everybody knows it is. The ZNPP has been operated by Rosatom
• 1:25:36
  since the autumn of 2022, after Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions, along with Donetsk and Lugansk,
• 1:25:42
  voted in a referendum to join Russia. Moscow argues that the attacks on the plant and its
• 1:25:47
  personnel are acts of terrorism, and also directly challenges the international nuclear safety norms
• 1:25:54
  that the IAEA cannot afford to ignore. Quite true. And, you know, I want to, I don't think I have
• 1:26:06
  time to get to it today. I'm hoping I remember it, well, next week, I guess, is when I'm going
• 1:26:14
  to have to remember it. But the Rosatom CEO has been talking about this forever, that this is a
• 1:26:21
  major deal. They've hit the nuclear power plant has six reactors, if I recall. Or was it 10 there?
• 1:26:29
  Anyway, it's a large amount. It's the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. And Ukraine is
• 1:26:36
  bombing some of the reactors. You know, the big things that stand up so high? They're bombing
• 1:26:44
  the freaking outside of the reactor. They're droning it. They're killing people in there,
• 1:26:50
  and they really, they want it to happen. Rather, rather you do that and, you know, kill off a whole
• 1:26:57
  bunch of people than allow Russia to have it, right? It's escalation 101, which is all Ukraine knows.
• 1:27:02
  It's all they can do. And they're escalating with other people's lives not being considered well.
• 1:27:08
  That part is, seems to be what's going around because fighting to the last Ukrainian is pretty
• 1:27:15
  much a reality of life. You know, they're not going anywhere. And they're all dying on the
• 1:27:22
  front lines. It's depressing, but true. Also, I did want to talk to you about, and maybe it'll be
• 1:27:29
  tomorrow, but I doubt it, probably Monday if I remember, but there's a crimes against humanity.
• 1:27:34
  The CIA's sickest secrets may finally be exposed. New MKUltra hearings have reopened questions about
• 1:27:43
  victims, destroyed files, and experiments America never answered for. It's a great article,
• 1:27:52
  and I'm hoping to share it with you tomorrow. It was published on the 5th of July,
• 1:27:56
  but I forget, I can't see who wrote it, but it's an interesting article and talks about the CIA
• 1:28:03
  going back pretty damn far. You want to talk about some conspiracy theories? Boy, I tell you what,
• 1:28:10
  there you go. By the way, finally, I will tell you that China has topped the US in a global
• 1:28:17
  favorability survey. Beijing and its president, Xi Jinping, are viewed more positively than
• 1:28:25
  Washington for the first time after nearly 20 years of tracking public opinion, says the Pew
• 1:28:33
  Research Poll. So that's interesting. We're no longer as popular. We're not the most popular,
• 1:28:41
  and Xi Jinping's ahead of America. Well, China enjoys a more positive image than the US,
• 1:28:50
  and 25 of the 36 countries surveyed, including America's neighbors Canada and Mexico,
• 1:28:56
  they prefer China. Think about that. And we'll regroup on Monday. Join us tomorrow for Civic
• 1:29:03
  Outlaws, 730 to 9, and join us every day, Monday through Thursday, for International Flavor,
• 1:29:11
  right here on DAM Radio, damradio.com forward slash live. Hope you have a beautiful day and
• 1:29:19
  fantastic weekend.
