Checkers vs Chess: Trump, Iran, Russia & the Global Strategy Breakdown · International Flavor: Where the Truth Tastes Better

• 0:00
  Hello, happy Monday to you. Here we are
• 0:03
  at from coming to you live from the Lake
• 0:06
  Ozark real estate of the art studio. My
• 0:09
  name is Samuel Trap. It's going to be a
• 0:12
  good Monday today. Once again, nobody
• 0:14
  can figure out what the hell we're
• 0:16
  supposed to do on the weather and
• 0:18
  they're certainly not following my
• 0:21
  welllaid instructions um at all. You
• 0:25
  know, my instructions have been out
• 0:27
  there for a while. I I I need I I I
• 0:31
  demand warmth. What is all this
• 0:33
  nonsense? Who wants to freeze their
• 0:36
  little duads off? Uh nobody. Well,
• 0:39
  especially me. And
• 0:42
  so I'm a bit uh bothered that uh you
• 0:45
  have the air conditioner on one day and
• 0:47
  then you don't shut it off and you wake
• 0:49
  up in an ice cooler with uh frost
• 0:53
  hanging from your uh nethers and uh
• 0:57
  breath uh visible in your in your
• 1:01
  bedroom. It's nonsense. We don't know
• 1:03
  who's in charge, but whoever it is, they
• 1:06
  are not running it according to
• 1:09
  standard.
• 1:10
  Um,
• 1:12
  I spent the uh last when did I leave? I
• 1:16
  left Wednesday afternoon after a
• 1:18
  fantastic meeting with some uh state
• 1:20
  reps uh in in uh the Capitol building
• 1:26
  and um met with a friend in um
• 1:30
  what's the name of that little place
• 1:31
  where the gas stations and you're
• 1:33
  crossing 70 uh on your way up to Mexico
• 1:36
  if you ever wanted to go that route. Um
• 1:39
  Kingdom City is what it's called. And
• 1:42
  they've screwed up all that interchange.
• 1:44
  They got I don't know if Colombia uh
• 1:46
  Colombia is running the planet or what,
• 1:48
  but now we have to have the uh very
• 1:50
  creative and highly frustrating and
• 1:52
  irritating interchanges. If all if you
• 1:54
  had lights that worked, you wouldn't
• 1:55
  have to spend the money, but uh uh
• 1:57
  nobody ever uh can do that. So, we're
• 1:59
  putting in all these um and I don't
• 2:01
  care. I I like traffic circles, but uh
• 2:04
  the traffic circle concept, you know,
• 2:07
  many people can they have no clue. Do
• 2:11
  you know what they call those things?
• 2:12
  Just so you know, you ever get in Qatar,
• 2:14
  they're everywhere. And you go over
• 2:16
  Europe, there's quite a few of them,
• 2:18
  too. Um, and uh they are there, they are
• 2:21
  called there the uh
• 2:26
  uh kings kings circle. You know why?
• 2:29
  Because the person wearing the crowns in
• 2:31
  charge, if the person is on the
• 2:36
  uh already in the traffic circle, he
• 2:40
  wins. Okay? he has the right of way.
• 2:42
  This is a simple concept, but the larger
• 2:45
  the
• 2:47
  uh
• 2:49
  lane numbers in the
• 2:53
  traffic circle itself, the bigger the
• 2:56
  horror story for those that have no idea
• 2:58
  what they're doing trying to enter in.
• 3:01
  Like Chvy Chase, look kids, big pen. Big
• 3:03
  Ben, there went again. And he can't get
• 3:05
  off cuz he don't and he's jacking up all
• 3:08
  the traffic cuz he don't understand
• 3:09
  what's going on. even if you're in the
• 3:11
  inner lane, you know, I got smacked by
• 3:13
  some kid from uh Sri Lanka uh in his
• 3:17
  English was non-existent and uh you
• 3:22
  basically I was coming off of the
• 3:25
  traffic circle in my little uh uh little
• 3:29
  car there and he smacked into me with a
• 3:32
  great big truck that he was driving,
• 3:34
  transporting God knows what, building
• 3:37
  materials and smacked me all up. uh
• 3:40
  smashed up the car pretty good, too. And
• 3:42
  um he was attempting from the far right
• 3:46
  lane to continue straight.
• 3:50
  Three lanes in a traffic circle. You
• 3:52
  don't get to go straight. You know,
• 3:54
  truck or not, you're bigger. Rules
• 3:58
  apply. And uh I got smacked up pretty
• 4:01
  good there in that little traffic
• 4:02
  incident. Not my fault. And there they
• 4:04
  got to pay the damages instantaneously.
• 4:07
  You got to get your money together. um
• 4:09
  or they can be uh collected. Anyway,
• 4:12
  anyway, that wasn't the topic for today,
• 4:14
  starting out with uh figuring out how to
• 4:16
  drive in foreign countries. You know
• 4:17
  what the best rule for driving in
• 4:18
  foreign countries is? Don't just just
• 4:22
  get get in your Uber, get in your
• 4:23
  Yandex, get in whichever taxi service
• 4:26
  that's going to cart year round. Just be
• 4:28
  done with it, okay? Uh I traveled this
• 4:31
  past weekend to um
• 4:35
  see some horse races, you know, it was
• 4:37
  really cool. Belmont, I think it was
• 4:39
  called. What was the name of that thing?
• 4:40
  And uh I did
• 4:44
  So, we did a couple of bourbon tours.
• 4:46
  That was fun. And uh I got I got some uh
• 4:49
  some awesome awesome uh photos. Uh had a
• 4:53
  had a great time. Uh uh going solo.
• 4:57
  um stayed in a a a large sort of um
• 5:02
  mansion house that uh a group of friends
• 5:07
  uh got I was able to do my my sauna
• 5:10
  plans are uh are underway friends and
• 5:13
  neighbors. So uh but anyway we we we had
• 5:16
  a good weekend. Drove back uh yesterday
• 5:19
  from Kentucky and uh
• 5:24
  that was a a good drive. stopped in
• 5:26
  Mount Vernon, Illinois. Get this. So,
• 5:29
  we're looking for some place to eat.
• 5:31
  There's nowhere to eat. There's couple
• 5:33
  two cars uh seven people in our little
• 5:36
  uh crowd uh which is about half of the
• 5:39
  people that went, right? And we were
• 5:42
  looking for something. The other crowd
• 5:44
  had either left early or left later, who
• 5:45
  knows? But uh uh they're all off to
• 5:48
  Colombia, central Missouri, other play
• 5:51
  Jeff City, you know, whatever that
• 5:53
  people are are traveling to. And uh
• 5:56
  somebody picked a uh a restaurant in
• 5:59
  Mount Vernon, Illinois. Now, having
• 6:01
  grown up in Illinois, having gone to the
• 6:04
  University of Sh of Illinois, Shampoo
• 6:06
  Banana, uh I um
• 6:11
  I uh
• 6:13
  often am struck by how desolate
• 6:17
  a lot of uh of Illinois is in the old
• 6:22
  heartland with people being I don't
• 6:26
  know, maybe everybody's leaving, but
• 6:28
  boy, that at Mount Vernon was depressing
• 6:32
  on the outskirts driving in. Anyway, we
• 6:34
  ended up through whatever means at the
• 6:37
  airport. So, there's an airport, little
• 6:39
  tiny little tiny uh what do you call it?
• 6:42
  Regional sort of airport and uh you go
• 6:45
  in the front door of it and I swear to
• 6:46
  God the place was packed. And guess
• 6:49
  what?
• 6:51
  Easter dinner. They had a buffet line in
• 6:54
  there uh that was reasonably good. You
• 6:57
  know, I'm I'm not a big buffeter. Uh,
• 6:59
  I'm a Jimmy buffeter, but uh uh the um
• 7:04
  the buffet kind of uh is not conducive
• 7:08
  to uh living small as it were. There's a
• 7:12
  lot of living large going on in Mount
• 7:15
  Vernon, Illinois. And wow, the entire
• 7:18
  town was there. Uh the the the town
• 7:21
  looked I mean seriously the they
• 7:24
  somebody needs to go on a
• 7:25
  beautifification patrol and uh uh there
• 7:29
  were so many people in there they had to
• 7:30
  open up several flight training rooms
• 7:32
  and stuff like people everywhere and the
• 7:36
  the the weight staff was running all
• 7:38
  over the place. So you ever get a chance
• 7:40
  they have a buffet for $8 at uh on
• 7:43
  Wednesdays. It wasn't Wednesday. I can't
• 7:46
  remember what I paid. They they went
• 7:48
  around asking the table um you know uh
• 7:51
  ages and and and we got um
• 7:55
  I believe I paid uh $19
• 7:58
  for for for that buffet. And anyway,
• 8:01
  well, I don't know why I'm telling that
• 8:02
  ridiculous story nobody cares about, but
• 8:04
  I I I got home and I had a chance to uh
• 8:07
  on the road listen to some uh some news
• 8:11
  in preparation for um today's uh
• 8:15
  ramblings. And
• 8:19
  once again, we're on another deadline.
• 8:22
  You know, Trump's got another deadline
• 8:24
  coming up Tuesday. We're we're now
• 8:26
  destroying infrastructure. By the way,
• 8:28
  such is a war crime. Just so you know,
• 8:32
  that's what we accuse other people of
• 8:34
  engaging in war crime. Some people are
• 8:37
  straight up calling what what uh Trump
• 8:40
  and Netanyahu are doing is genocide.
• 8:42
  Now, I happen to agree as far as it
• 8:45
  relates to taking out layers and layers
• 8:49
  of uh leadership, you know, targeting
• 8:53
  people. That is uh in my humble view.
• 8:56
  And I know that here in America, we've
• 8:58
  been trying to make it uh acceptable
• 9:00
  that this is how you engage in
• 9:02
  diplomacy. This is how diplomacy is
• 9:04
  played. But it's not. the the the fact
• 9:08
  is it is a war crime to blow up people's
• 9:12
  infrastructure
• 9:13
  and you can go back and look find out
• 9:16
  who started it. find out who's you know
• 9:19
  not that not that oh gee he started it
• 9:22
  mom not that that's the big question but
• 9:25
  from a legal perspective
• 9:27
  if you are reacting it's a hell of a lot
• 9:30
  better than being the guy uh aggressing
• 9:34
  being the aggressor and uh American
• 9:37
  Aggressor is you know would be a another
• 9:40
  good Schwarzenegger movie we just call
• 9:42
  it American Aggressor and we can have
• 9:45
  Donald Trump all buffed out like you
• 9:49
  know him and Pete Heg says all buffed
• 9:53
  out hanging out with Lindsey Graham and
• 9:55
  Netany and Yahoo but yet Netanyahu and
• 9:57
  Lindsey Graham are are uh the puppeteers
• 10:01
  they're the puppet masters and uh that's
• 10:03
  depressing and that is truly depressing.
• 10:07
  I watched a uh uh a press conference or
• 10:10
  well no no no no I'm sorry Senate was it
• 10:12
  was some kind of Senate hearing where
• 10:14
  they're asking Hegathth to justify the
• 10:17
  the eight eight military generals that
• 10:21
  he's gotten rid of and he couldn't. He
• 10:24
  just said and all he says is I I I have
• 10:28
  the bigger I I have the bigger
• 10:29
  appendage. That's it. They serve at the
• 10:31
  pleasure of the president and I get to
• 10:33
  decide what the pleasure of the
• 10:35
  president is. So, I'm firing them.
• 10:37
  That's it. and and and and in in a in a
• 10:40
  wartime, okay, that this is clearly a
• 10:43
  problem that we're not we aren't even
• 10:46
  addressing remotely enough is that we've
• 10:50
  got people up there on personal
• 10:52
  vendettas excess through not being, you
• 10:54
  know, I don't know what, not being in
• 10:56
  charge in some some uh land deal when he
• 11:01
  was a a soldier himself, you know, and
• 11:04
  now he's in charge. And by God, he's
• 11:06
  going to let you know it. And and and
• 11:08
  it's it's frustrating, but very real.
• 11:12
  And Donald Trump, who who who wears his
• 11:14
  heart on his sleeve everywhere he goes,
• 11:16
  and and everything he's doing is because
• 11:19
  of the wrong the wrongs that he received
• 11:23
  at the hands of those who were using the
• 11:26
  government as their own tool. And just
• 11:29
  like the Obamaator who said uh uh
• 11:34
  elections have consequences,
• 11:37
  we are seeing what those consequences
• 11:39
  are now. But both versions of abuse of
• 11:44
  government power or maybe let's say it's
• 11:48
  not an abuse of the government power
• 11:50
  because you have the power. But
• 11:54
  let's call it instead
• 11:57
  um the use of government to
• 12:03
  uh clear the table of all of the past
• 12:08
  wrong deeds that were done to you.
• 12:11
  That'd be like giving me charge of the
• 12:14
  Missouri bar and me instead of fixing
• 12:16
  the system targeting each of the people
• 12:19
  who came after me destroying uh Sam
• 12:23
  Phillips who's a bad man uh destroying
• 12:26
  him instead. You know that that's
• 12:29
  nonsense. That is not the use of
• 12:32
  government. And and and I like I I I too
• 12:36
  have problems with the fact that the
• 12:40
  people who
• 12:43
  really deserve it
• 12:45
  rarely are brought to justice. I have a
• 12:48
  serious problem with that because if you
• 12:51
  control the
• 12:54
  um shackles of power like like these
• 12:58
  juveniles do, the result is horrific.
• 13:03
  No, it's it's equally horrific when it's
• 13:07
  some incompetent and you don't even know
• 13:10
  who's fingerpuppeting
• 13:12
  the the the president like it was under
• 13:15
  o under O Biden. O Biden. I love it. We
• 13:19
  should put an O in front of him. call
• 13:21
  him O Biden because a lot of people
• 13:23
  believe that uh uh the Obama was uh
• 13:27
  directing traffic and this that's a
• 13:30
  scary version as the same with u with
• 13:33
  Billy Clinton. Um those are scary things
• 13:38
  and uh most of us I like to consider
• 13:42
  myself uh in the realms of the average
• 13:44
  American. I I almost said normal but I'm
• 13:47
  not sure I want to call myself normal.
• 13:50
  um who have no idea where real news
• 13:53
  comes from, have no idea what the truth
• 13:56
  is because the the power brokers
• 14:00
  determine not what the truth is but what
• 14:03
  the narrative is. And uh you have to
• 14:06
  decide for yourself what the truth is.
• 14:08
  And uh my little lecture today is to
• 14:12
  pull your own heads out of your own
• 14:14
  asses if you still support the genocidal
• 14:18
  tendencies of things that are going on
• 14:20
  in the Middle East right now. Israel is
• 14:24
  not a friend of America if they are
• 14:26
  dragging us in. And but it's even worse
• 14:30
  if we're not going in kicking and
• 14:32
  screaming and instead are going in as
• 14:35
  willing participants. And now we're
• 14:38
  straight up in a war that none of us
• 14:42
  have any interest in or didn't until
• 14:46
  Trump already did already said we were
• 14:48
  doing it and then they go, "Yeah, we've
• 14:50
  been meaning to get those guys for 40
• 14:52
  years." You know what? This is stupid
• 14:55
  and moronic and and I'm telling you it
• 14:59
  the way this is it keeps me up at night
• 15:02
  watching uh watching in my mind the
• 15:06
  visions of Netanyahu pushing a button
• 15:08
  and sending a nuclear weapon sending
• 15:11
  over a nuclear bomb. He's the most
• 15:13
  likely although I'm definitely
• 15:15
  frightened of our morons you know. So,
• 15:17
  one of them suggested here's how you fix
• 15:19
  was it freaking Graham. One of them
• 15:22
  suggested
• 15:23
  get this moronic I mean stupid that
• 15:27
  these guys are say and they know nothing
• 15:29
  about nuclear nuclear uh power if they
• 15:33
  know this. So, this is Oh, you know what
• 15:35
  we'll do? We'll stick a nuke down on the
• 15:37
  bed of the sea in uh um Hormuse and
• 15:41
  we'll open that channel right up. Yeah.
• 15:43
  Gez, how about we blow up Oman? How
• 15:45
  about you get rid of some of the places
• 15:48
  in there? Oh, no. You can control those.
• 15:50
  No, you can't. And uh uh now what what
• 15:54
  what we did in and and invent venting
• 15:57
  occurred all the time. Remember friends
• 16:00
  and neighbors, I was at the Nevada
• 16:02
  nuclear test site. I am a product of
• 16:04
  radiation and uh uh still would like to
• 16:07
  know how much the government uh uh
• 16:10
  subjected me to without me really
• 16:12
  knowing any better. Oh, here. Put this
• 16:14
  domter on. We'll keep track of those
• 16:16
  numbers. Anything ever comes up, we'll
• 16:17
  let you know. But make sure you get a
• 16:19
  new one every month cuz we got to keep
• 16:22
  track of you. And you get a new
• 16:24
  doimeter. And uh don't go around
• 16:26
  radiating the country, Mr. Trap or
• 16:29
  Sergeant Trap back then. Don't go around
• 16:31
  radiating the country. We got to keep an
• 16:33
  eye on you. We have a place for you. You
• 16:37
  know, that kind of thing. These people
• 16:39
  are nuts. And uh so why do I not get my
• 16:43
  news from from uh I mean I I read
• 16:46
  various targets. I I watch other things
• 16:50
  and I believe that is uh extremely
• 16:53
  necessary at this point. What people are
• 16:56
  being told from both sides of the
• 16:58
  equation cuz by the way in America there
• 16:59
  are only two sides. You either either
• 17:02
  got to hate Trump or you got to love him
• 17:04
  and there's no in between. Um, but I'm
• 17:06
  here to tell you, call me a tweener cuz
• 17:09
  I'm in between. And uh the as far as the
• 17:12
  the national views,
• 17:15
  I used to be pretty much supportive.
• 17:18
  Seriously. And and and and pretty much,
• 17:21
  you know, I'm I'm methods. All right.
• 17:24
  The method everybody's methods suck. the
• 17:27
  the method of opening the freaking
• 17:29
  borders on the first day of Joe Biden's
• 17:31
  administration was a a punch in the face
• 17:36
  to America. That was that was just a a
• 17:40
  ridiculous use of the power. But it's
• 17:44
  equally equally horrific to to build a a
• 17:49
  900 ft wall
• 17:52
  and go never the two shall meet. America
• 17:54
  is built upon immigration and always has
• 17:57
  been bringing people in. Now, that
• 18:00
  doesn't mean we we open up the doors
• 18:02
  willy-nilly. Apparently, there was some
• 18:03
  news yesterday of uh uh they took um
• 18:09
  uh Sul Sulammani, I forget which one,
• 18:12
  took his niece and her mother into
• 18:14
  custody in New York or something and are
• 18:17
  going to deport them. But now there's
• 18:19
  news coming out that they aren't even
• 18:20
  sure who it is. They don't have any idea
• 18:23
  who they arrested. Doesn't matter. Let's
• 18:26
  let's give the masses something to chew
• 18:28
  on. Let's say we collected uh we
• 18:30
  collected some uh person we don't like
• 18:32
  and stole their family. What are you
• 18:34
  doing, America? And we we threw them out
• 18:36
  the door. All right. Well, optics,
• 18:39
  optics, optics. None of this is about
• 18:41
  truth. None of this is about about u a
• 18:45
  realistic American view. So I I wanted
• 18:49
  to contrast for you today
• 18:52
  two speeches. Okay.
• 18:56
  One is the press secretary for Sergey
• 19:01
  Lavough in um in Russia and uh her name
• 19:06
  is Maria Zakarova. And I like watching
• 19:09
  her anyway. and and and in the and she
• 19:12
  gets increasingly
• 19:15
  um
• 19:17
  I don't it's like me you say I'm at a
• 19:20
  loss for words. It's really sad that we
• 19:22
  have to say this all the time because
• 19:24
  things are going on and you're going oh
• 19:27
  my god how are they going to justify
• 19:29
  that? How, you know, what what what are
• 19:31
  they going to sell me now to get me on
• 19:34
  board uh with this uh war in Iran
• 19:37
  somehow after you terminate all the
• 19:40
  generals? Heg Seth has on his JV gear.
• 19:44
  He's ready to go. You know, he is ready.
• 19:48
  Coach, put me in, coach.
• 19:50
  That's him. Meanwhile, across the world,
• 19:53
  we have playing chess. We have uh uh on
• 19:57
  the on the board, we have Xi Jinping, we
• 20:00
  have Vladimir Putin, we have whichever
• 20:04
  level of Iranian leader they're going to
• 20:06
  look at next, you know, cuz Trump's just
• 20:08
  going to kill them all. And and that's
• 20:10
  supposed to be acceptable to us. We just
• 20:12
  kill our terrorists. Yep. So was narco
• 20:15
  terrorist Maduro, right? That that uh is
• 20:18
  gone now. Nobody knows a thing about
• 20:20
  that. Narcoism. Yep. That's that's what
• 20:23
  it is. It's oil terrorism, friends and
• 20:26
  neighbors, in the other direction. And
• 20:29
  there's no doubt that that's what it is.
• 20:31
  Or we're open it up. And guess what we
• 20:33
  did? We gave that oil to Shell. We gave
• 20:35
  that oil to BP. Anybody in the West,
• 20:38
  they get the oil. Not those [ __ ]
• 20:40
  down in Venezuela. Not Xi Jinping. Why
• 20:42
  are we giving him Venezuelan oil? That's
• 20:45
  not I don't like that. And I'm Donald J.
• 20:47
  Trump and I approve this message. That's
• 20:48
  it. And And it makes no sense. It's
• 20:51
  stupid. And then you and then you uh and
• 20:53
  then you justify it by saying uh oh gee,
• 20:57
  that's all right. They were engaged in
• 20:58
  narot terrorism. Don't you see all those
• 21:00
  little mini boats that we blew up? We
• 21:03
  don't know who was on them cuz we blew
• 21:04
  them up. But but they're they're gone.
• 21:06
  And that that's the view of terrorism
• 21:09
  right now. We're doing the same thing.
• 21:10
  Some nameless, faceless, dusty place
• 21:13
  called Iran that none of you could pick
• 21:16
  I shouldn't say that. No, people can't
• 21:18
  pick out on a map. They wouldn't know
• 21:20
  where it is. And the Straits of Hormuz
• 21:22
  until you've started two months ago, you
• 21:25
  never heard of it and didn't know what
• 21:27
  it what it was doing unless you listen
• 21:28
  to international flavor because I told
• 21:30
  you about the efforts of the Chinese and
• 21:31
  the Iranians and the Russians and
• 21:33
  everybody else including the Europeans
• 21:35
  to get around the straits of Hormuz
• 21:37
  because of just this problem. And and
• 21:40
  they they have been building ports in
• 21:42
  Iran. The biggest port in Iran is run by
• 21:45
  who? What did I tell you about that
• 21:47
  years ago? Not years ago. months ago.
• 21:50
  There's a contract for 10 years. It's
• 21:52
  run by India. It's run by Indian
• 21:54
  engineers, Indian government, and it's
• 21:56
  one of the largest ports around. And uh
• 21:58
  uh China built it. India runs it. Iran
• 22:01
  benefits from it. And they're building
• 22:03
  um they're building railroads to go
• 22:06
  through it. So you don't have to worry
• 22:07
  about Straits of Hormuz, don't have to
• 22:08
  hurry about worry about choke point.
• 22:10
  Meanwhile, we got Lindsey Graham in
• 22:12
  company and and I'm not I don't know if
• 22:13
  it was him specifically. I really don't
• 22:15
  remember going, "Well, geez, just put a
• 22:17
  nuke down there and blow it up. Blow it
• 22:20
  up. Good plan. Yeah, good plan. Are you
• 22:23
  going to Are you going to build a a
• 22:25
  causeway between America and Canada by
• 22:27
  putting a nuclear bomb in the Great
• 22:29
  Lakes?
• 22:30
  I mean, oh, it's okay. That's not our
• 22:32
  part of the world. We don't give a
• 22:33
  crap." Well, obviously we don't give a
• 22:35
  crap because Donald Trump just gave 48
• 22:37
  hours to say, "Well, we're gonna blow up
• 22:40
  all of your infrastructure if uh we're
• 22:42
  going to blow up all of your electrical
• 22:45
  uh networks, everything, cuz we're going
• 22:48
  to bring Iran to its knees." Now,
• 22:52
  imagine somebody doing that in the
• 22:55
  reverse. Let us say that 10 years from
• 22:58
  now,
• 23:00
  call him call him
• 23:03
  uh I I don't know. Let's come up with a
• 23:05
  nice name. Xi Jin Zing. We'll pick
• 23:08
  somebody else. Next leader of some huge
• 23:11
  country on the other side of the planet
• 23:12
  because we don't want to say it's China,
• 23:14
  right? We don't want to say it's India.
• 23:15
  Nobody over there, but some other
• 23:17
  country with more money, more power,
• 23:19
  more brains than ours. and they they
• 23:22
  come over and say uh they say, "All
• 23:24
  right, here's what we're going to do." I
• 23:27
  tell you what, we're you will
• 23:29
  capitulate,
• 23:31
  America. Capitulate.
• 23:34
  You know, it's uh we like Canada better
• 23:38
  and you're going to capitulate. We're
• 23:39
  going to get rid of all those buildings
• 23:41
  in downtown Washington DC and we're
• 23:44
  going to install my friend uh you know,
• 23:48
  Biff. My friend Biff is going to be in
• 23:50
  charge of uh America. Why? Because I'm
• 23:52
  the US I'm the I'm the president of the
• 23:54
  world. I get to pick who's the leader
• 23:56
  and I get to exchange who I want
• 23:58
  willy-nilly. Okay? And who runs the
• 24:01
  government America doesn't matter
• 24:03
  anyway. In all truth to most of us
• 24:06
  Americans, nobody gives a rip. They just
• 24:08
  want to be left alone and allowed to
• 24:10
  watch their football games on Friday or
• 24:12
  in the case of those of us who went to
• 24:13
  Illinois the Final Four and watch our
• 24:16
  team get the crap kicked out of them.
• 24:17
  Not really. It was a good game. Um, in
• 24:19
  the final four, that's that's it's
• 24:21
  that's this this is the American dream,
• 24:23
  right? We want to be left alone. Well,
• 24:25
  they want to be left alone. Do you think
• 24:28
  they're ever going to capitulate after
• 24:30
  all this? Just take it from a realistic
• 24:32
  point of view. Imagine you're in a
• 24:35
  country that has existed for 5,000
• 24:37
  years. You have history and culture that
• 24:40
  goes back
• 24:42
  endless.
• 24:44
  I mean, endless. It goes back a rich and
• 24:49
  beautiful culture that just thinks
• 24:52
  differently than you do in America. We
• 24:54
  think differently. There's no doubt. And
• 24:57
  if you ever got your your your travel
• 24:59
  shoes on and went somewhere else and
• 25:01
  appreciated the beauty of variety,
• 25:05
  God and Allah, guess what they love?
• 25:07
  Wondrous variety. That's what they love.
• 25:10
  And when we get a look around, I almost
• 25:12
  almost brought home a a young
• 25:14
  African-American girl. I was so taken by
• 25:17
  her from the horse races. We had a lot
• 25:19
  of fun. We had a lot of fun running
• 25:21
  around placing stupid bets on stupid
• 25:23
  horses and just running around h having
• 25:25
  a good time. And there's nothing wrong
• 25:27
  with it. No, I wouldn't bring her home.
• 25:29
  You I'd be a little more sensible than
• 25:31
  that. But it it would be it's you meet
• 25:34
  all kinds of cool and interesting
• 25:35
  people. And if you approach it from the
• 25:38
  from the point of view of that, I mean,
• 25:39
  take that's small time. That's small.
• 25:41
  That's your own personal life. And if I
• 25:44
  choose to to run around with the uh four
• 25:47
  um and I'd say sisters, they were
• 25:49
  sisters, but if I choose to run around
• 25:51
  with four sisters having a great deal of
• 25:54
  fun, why not? And we we it was a lot of
• 25:58
  fun. And and and and you know, people
• 26:00
  stand there and they're they're placing
• 26:02
  bets on on horses. It was a joy to be
• 26:05
  there. And by the way, what is life
• 26:08
  supposed to be about? Is it supposed to
• 26:10
  be about gez, let's blow up Iran? We
• 26:12
  don't give a [ __ ] you know. We don't
• 26:15
  want to blow up Iran. I don't want to
• 26:17
  blow up the people. I don't want I don't
• 26:19
  want Netanyahu blowing up the people.
• 26:21
  And maybe people say, "Well, gee, that
• 26:23
  Sam hasn't put enough time into this and
• 26:25
  he doesn't understand. They might get
• 26:28
  nuclear weapons. Who cares? Pakistan's
• 26:31
  got nuclear weapons. For God's sake,
• 26:33
  India's got them. And worst of all,
• 26:36
  Israel's got them. And they won't even
• 26:38
  admit it. They won't admit it because
• 26:41
  they don't want to be and they're the
• 26:42
  only ones, not bound, not the only ones,
• 26:44
  but they they will not be bound by
• 26:46
  non-prololiferation. They will not do
• 26:48
  it. If they want to take over Lebanon
• 26:50
  and they want to do something, by God,
• 26:51
  they're going to do it. And Donald
• 26:53
  Trump's going to get in line and help
• 26:54
  them because, you know, hey man, those
• 26:57
  are our nuclear weapons. You may have
• 26:58
  helped us get them back in the ' 50s,
• 27:01
  '60s,7s, made sure that we got them, but
• 27:06
  we use them how we want. We will attack
• 27:08
  Iran. And by God, you better follow us
• 27:10
  because we're your We're your best
• 27:13
  friends in the Middle East. Yeah.
• 27:14
  Friends like that. Who the to flip needs
• 27:16
  enemies? We we we as Americans need to
• 27:20
  change the way we're thinking. And part
• 27:22
  of that includes listening to the other
• 27:25
  side cuz nobody does. And uh I am going
• 27:29
  to twist it just a little bit. What do
• 27:31
  you think all those Americans would do
• 27:32
  if they're attacked? you know, uh, is it
• 27:34
  existential to us?
• 27:37
  Does it mean it's an us or them kind of
• 27:39
  scenario?
• 27:41
  Wouldn't you, you personally, I know I
• 27:44
  would. Somebody came to attack what's
• 27:46
  mine. What would I do? I don't care if
• 27:49
  I'm 90. You know, I'm still going to do
• 27:51
  what I can for the effort, right? What
• 27:53
  do you think Iran's doing right now when
• 27:55
  they hear our president say posted in
• 27:58
  true social idiocy as far as the the
• 28:02
  means of communication with the masses
• 28:04
  by a president? Somebody get him to shut
• 28:07
  up 30 days. Shut up. How about that? And
• 28:12
  and quit quit quit talking about the
• 28:14
  destruction you're going to reign upon
• 28:16
  the world because by God you're in
• 28:18
  charge. And shut Lindsey Graham up too,
• 28:21
  you know. just shut them up and and do
• 28:23
  nothing for 30 days. Then I'll feel much
• 28:26
  better. If at the end of that 30 days
• 28:28
  you see aggression from Iran, then okay,
• 28:33
  maybe I'll consider doing some, you
• 28:35
  know, committing American lives to
• 28:38
  destroy in a region that nobody cares
• 28:39
  about or dying for same for for what? It
• 28:44
  ain't democracy. It is not democracy.
• 28:48
  And if you're fighting for democracy,
• 28:49
  you got problems anyway. You know, do
• 28:51
  that in your homeland.
• 28:54
  Who are we to dictate to the rest of the
• 28:55
  world democracy? So if if you know, if
• 28:58
  the war ever came to you,
• 29:00
  well, that's a different story
• 29:02
  altogether. The war is on their
• 29:04
  doorstep. For Israel, this is not a um
• 29:09
  uh what do you call it? A a necessity,
• 29:13
  the war of necessity. This was a war of
• 29:16
  choice. And for us, it is a war of
• 29:20
  choice. And I am against wars of choice
• 29:25
  where we go in, there ain't no threat.
• 29:27
  They just have the same old standard
• 29:29
  a-holes doing the same old standard
• 29:32
  thing. And the rest of the world is
• 29:34
  laughing up its sleeve at us, including
• 29:38
  people from England, France, leaders,
• 29:41
  okay? They're not on board. SP watching
• 29:44
  watching the
• 29:47
  alliances of America fall apart and uh
• 29:51
  and be
• 29:53
  I don't know what independent or at
• 29:55
  least think on their own is uh quite new
• 29:59
  quite novel because everybody always
• 30:02
  just followed along with America and uh
• 30:06
  especially if you were one of the vassal
• 30:07
  states of of Europe you just followed
• 30:11
  along And uh that's not that's not
• 30:14
  happening. That is not happening. So I
• 30:18
  wanted to do a comparison of how people
• 30:20
  how how rhetoric uh because it's it's
• 30:24
  rhetoric, you know, there's no doubt.
• 30:25
  And I picked two governmental channels.
• 30:28
  It would have probably been more fair,
• 30:29
  but Donald Trump is more fun to to uh to
• 30:33
  look at because of his
• 30:37
  I don't know. I suppose the best way to
• 30:39
  call it would be speech patterns. the
• 30:41
  way he talks. Everything I have is the
• 30:43
  greatest. Everything you have is crap.
• 30:45
  That's it. And that's that's the way he
• 30:47
  talks. And you know what? There's that.
• 30:50
  That's that's a Everybody knows it. He's
• 30:53
  been doing it. He's been doing it
• 30:55
  forever. And uh he just he's he's a he's
• 30:58
  a bulldog. He's a bulldozer. He's a a
• 31:00
  tank, you know, going one direction. And
• 31:03
  and and you know, give him a mission.
• 31:06
  But unfortunately, the strategic
• 31:08
  thinking, I think, is off. That's what I
• 31:10
  think. I think he's either uh there
• 31:13
  there's some there's some things or he's
• 31:15
  got completely the wrong
• 31:19
  advisors. Absolutely. Meanwhile, here's
• 31:23
  Maria Zakarova. So, we're going to do
• 31:25
  her speech first. This is public speech,
• 31:28
  long speech. Uh I I listened to it all.
• 31:31
  I muddled through it. I listened to it
• 31:33
  all because it's
• 31:37
  this is not this was not just a press
• 31:39
  briefing. This is a carefully layered
• 31:42
  performance and how they put things
• 31:46
  together. I I they got a team over there
• 31:48
  cuz when you watch her, every
• 31:52
  speech, every appearance, they do it
• 31:54
  every Friday. Um, April Fool's Day was
• 31:57
  the last one. And I I I uh I think that
• 32:00
  was actually um Thursday, but uh usually
• 32:04
  it's on Fridays. Or maybe it's only cuz
• 32:06
  I can download them on Fridays. I don't
• 32:08
  know. But I but I try to keep keep track
• 32:11
  of that. It's a world view. But it's
• 32:13
  never just a press briefing. It's a
• 32:15
  political, you know, I don't know what
• 32:17
  performance by a very good person. She's
• 32:21
  talking about the calendar. She's
• 32:23
  enforcing the narrative. She's accusing
• 32:27
  uh
• 32:28
  I don't know taking moral positions one
• 32:31
  way or the other. She's saying what the
• 32:32
  proper answer is going to be for their
• 32:34
  own public to listen to. And then she's
• 32:38
  emotionally
• 32:40
  getting the audience on board with the
• 32:43
  next steps that oh gee, we have to do
• 32:45
  this. Don't think that our people aren't
• 32:47
  doing the same thing. They're just
• 32:48
  failing miserably at doing it. But
• 32:51
  that's been politics forever and and
• 32:53
  that was definitely the Soviet Union.
• 32:55
  That's how it used to be. Um with uh
• 32:59
  press briefings by State Department for
• 33:01
  us. Now we have clear morons, you know,
• 33:04
  dictating war and that's it. And uh and
• 33:07
  people are buying in, you know, the the
• 33:09
  people that are buying into this war as
• 33:11
  necess necessary, they got problems and
• 33:15
  because now all it is is now all it is
• 33:17
  is well, we can't lose. We started it.
• 33:19
  We can't lose. Get on board. We started
• 33:22
  it. It was a mistake to start it. We
• 33:24
  didn't think about it properly, but
• 33:26
  guess what? We have to continue because
• 33:28
  now we're in. And the answer otherwise
• 33:30
  would be, geez, we lost again. We lost
• 33:33
  again. Well, we lost again because we
• 33:35
  have more idiots sitting on the triggers
• 33:39
  and they're not they're not thinking
• 33:41
  before they're acting. If if they didn't
• 33:44
  understand the straits of horses concept
• 33:50
  that that is frightening in and of
• 33:52
  itself that these guys had no clue.
• 33:56
  They and and truly the more I watch
• 33:58
  this, the more I understand that these
• 34:01
  people have no clue what they're doing.
• 34:05
  Hegath that guy has no idea that that
• 34:08
  guy coach put me in, you know. Uh that's
• 34:12
  too bad. Too bad your last quarterback
• 34:14
  uh broke his leg right before the game
• 34:16
  started. But I got you. I'll do whatever
• 34:19
  you say, but I'll never question you.
• 34:22
  That's a bad leader right there. That
• 34:25
  guy is not level ready for the next
• 34:27
  play. He thinks he's it. He thinks he is
• 34:30
  the star of the show. He's not. And and
• 34:33
  you certainly don't. You know what the
• 34:34
  sign of a good leader is? And if you
• 34:36
  never went to military school, okay, I
• 34:39
  had a very very good first sergeant. And
• 34:42
  you know what he told me one day? He
• 34:44
  brought me in. And this is this is God's
• 34:46
  truth. And this is a military that will
• 34:49
  succeed because I tell you what, I said
• 34:52
  the exact same thing to my little
• 34:54
  troopies several years later. And when I
• 34:57
  was running 120 little troopies of my
• 34:59
  own and told him what they would do and
• 35:02
  uh and and and he brought me in and he
• 35:04
  says he said, "Sergeant Trap," he goes,
• 35:07
  "Uh, look here. I want to promote you,
• 35:10
  but I but I want to promote you, but
• 35:13
  you're a little bit uh I don't know
• 35:15
  what. He said, "You need to think think
• 35:18
  more,
• 35:20
  talk less. Think more, talk less. You
• 35:23
  ask questions that are relevant, but
• 35:25
  you're getting a reputation, you know,
• 35:27
  and and it's like, well, yeah, somewhat
• 35:29
  deserved." And and and and by the way,
• 35:32
  I've sharpened it over time. and uh and
• 35:35
  not that, but I took his his words to
• 35:37
  heart and I absolutely listen because
• 35:40
  he's right. And uh so here's what a a
• 35:44
  good organization, a good military is
• 35:47
  built upon. People that might question
• 35:52
  but stop, question, provide alternatives
• 35:57
  and then accept what the boss says. If
• 36:02
  if the if the boss has listened to all
• 36:05
  the alternatives,
• 36:07
  you disagree, but he made the decision,
• 36:09
  the military is built upon engaging as
• 36:13
  directed
• 36:15
  questioning professionally, of course,
• 36:18
  and but once the decision is made,
• 36:21
  understanding your your
• 36:24
  point, understanding your place in the
• 36:26
  system, and Hegath don't get his place.
• 36:29
  Donald Trump doesn't even get his place.
• 36:31
  Those are two guys who are using their
• 36:34
  places to let everybody know that
• 36:37
  elections have consequences. They are
• 36:39
  just as bad as Obama when doing so
• 36:41
  though. But the first sergeant said to
• 36:43
  me, he goes, "Listen, I will never ever
• 36:49
  ask you to do something that I haven't
• 36:52
  done myself and probably even today
• 36:57
  couldn't do better than you."
• 37:00
  And he said, "And your job in the army,
• 37:04
  Sergeant Trap, is to make leaders like
• 37:09
  you."
• 37:10
  He said, "You
• 37:13
  have potential. You need to identify
• 37:16
  that potential and put it into uh into
• 37:21
  the use of the military and perhaps have
• 37:24
  that person go to the next level. You
• 37:26
  also got to identify the [ __ ] and
• 37:29
  push those [ __ ] out of here. That's
• 37:32
  the job of a strong organization. He
• 37:35
  goes, "Serge the trap. You can never,"
• 37:38
  and this is the problem with
• 37:40
  bureaucracy, okay? He said, "You can
• 37:43
  never
• 37:45
  ever
• 37:47
  push people down like a bureaucrat does.
• 37:51
  there. You need to identify those that
• 37:53
  are smarter than you and surround
• 37:57
  yourself with them.
• 38:00
  That's what you need to do. He goes, you
• 38:01
  don't need all the answers. You need to
• 38:03
  know where to [ __ ] find them. And
• 38:05
  that's where you find them. You find and
• 38:08
  identify key and good people down below
• 38:10
  and you bring them up. That's what you
• 38:13
  do in Obama, in
• 38:18
  Trump one, certainly in uh Oidenator.
• 38:22
  Now I can combine all my names for him.
• 38:25
  Certainly in Oidenator, and absolutely
• 38:28
  in this second term of Trump, this is
• 38:31
  nothing but a free-for-all. I'm bringing
• 38:33
  in my buddies. I'm bringing in the Fox
• 38:35
  host uh Fox News hosts that spoke well
• 38:39
  of me on the air. And gee, he happened
• 38:41
  to be in the military before, so why
• 38:43
  don't we put him in charge?
• 38:45
  Who's in charge? That guy, the JV, the
• 38:49
  JV quarterback. [ __ ] That's not how
• 38:51
  you pick people. What the hell? He
• 38:54
  obviously was not in the military. If he
• 38:56
  thinks that the right answer is to get
• 38:58
  rid of eight generals on the eve of
• 39:00
  battle or going into war, what the
• 39:02
  hell's wrong with you? It's It's nuts.
• 39:05
  And if Trump thinks that's a way to
• 39:06
  play, finding a bunch of yes men and
• 39:08
  sticking them in. Hello, Hillary
• 39:10
  Clinton. Same freaking thing. Just it's
• 39:13
  it's there's a a a a play between this.
• 39:17
  You have to to to ease your way through
• 39:20
  it. And I'm telling you, I am almost
• 39:23
  despondent over this and just waiting
• 39:26
  because now we just have to prove who's
• 39:29
  got the bigger wiener. That's it. That's
• 39:31
  all we're doing right now. Straight of
• 39:33
  horror moves. How about Trump the other
• 39:34
  day? True social.
• 39:37
  Open the effing straights. Oh yeah,
• 39:41
  this is genius. This is it right here.
• 39:44
  This is genius. So when you listen to
• 39:46
  people that somewhat make sense or at
• 39:47
  least understand how the game is played,
• 39:52
  you should probably pay attention. And
• 39:54
  thus the speech of Maria Zakarava that
• 39:58
  that she went through. Then we're going
• 39:59
  to get into the Donald Trump one, okay,
• 40:01
  after that. So Zakarova has got a plan.
• 40:04
  There used to be president somebody I
• 40:06
  was having discussion with somebody the
• 40:07
  other day and please don't punch me for
• 40:09
  this because it's really not even it's
• 40:12
  it's it's actually worse than that
• 40:14
  because maybe in my lifetime
• 40:16
  you know maybe one or two presidents in
• 40:21
  my lifetime
• 40:23
  appeared presidential somebody that is
• 40:26
  presidential. somebody that brings me
• 40:29
  calm saying that somebody's got the
• 40:31
  wheel and I don't have to worry about my
• 40:34
  sons uh or my my my my grandchildren
• 40:39
  being sent to the front lines as meat
• 40:42
  puppets. We don't you know that's it's
• 40:46
  I haven't felt that in a long time that
• 40:49
  oh yeah everything's going to be okay.
• 40:52
  No, it's not.
• 40:54
  It is not going to be okay. The bulk of
• 40:57
  Americans are out digging bunkers in
• 40:59
  their backyard and stuffing it full of
• 41:01
  dried food and buying food dehydrators
• 41:04
  and putting them in their garage and
• 41:06
  start trying to figure out how to make
• 41:07
  their own water dissalination well water
• 41:10
  purification plants for us. You know, to
• 41:13
  to to dig a well on their on their
• 41:16
  property, you know, something that ain't
• 41:17
  going to and putting up solar panels.
• 41:19
  you know, the energyy's going to we got
• 41:22
  to figure out how to get along without
• 41:24
  the government cuz they're cocking this
• 41:26
  all up, you know, and they really are.
• 41:29
  And uh it's it's terrible. So, the short
• 41:32
  truth is the rest of the world is just
• 41:36
  sitting back and watching and rubbing
• 41:38
  their What do you think Xi Jinping is
• 41:40
  doing on his chessboard and Vladimir
• 41:43
  Putin on his chessboard? Mark Carney,
• 41:45
  for God's sake, has his own chessboard.
• 41:49
  You think that that uh uh the Iranians,
• 41:53
  the Qataris
• 41:54
  don't have chess boards? I guarantee you
• 41:57
  Netanyahu's got his little uh his little
• 42:00
  chess board, but more and or his
• 42:03
  checkers board. I mean, more and more I
• 42:05
  get to thinking of the image and it's
• 42:07
  this pretty powerful image for me. I'm
• 42:08
  thinking I'm thinking I might figure out
• 42:10
  how to create it today with the use of
• 42:12
  AI is create some um some picture with
• 42:17
  Xi Jingping Modi Putin and uh whichever
• 42:23
  Kmeni is in charge now maybe they're
• 42:25
  three four levels down um and put them
• 42:28
  on the one side playing chess and all
• 42:31
  you know gazing with their arms crossed
• 42:33
  looking down on the board and assessing
• 42:35
  the board and over on the on the other
• 42:38
  side you got you got Netanyahu
• 42:44
  uh who else? Oh, Lindsey Graham.
• 42:47
  Netanyahu and Graham. This is horrific
• 42:50
  with puppet strings on Heg Seth and
• 42:53
  Donald Trump on their side of the
• 42:55
  checkers board, you know. So, so you
• 42:58
  checkers board and there's Hegsth
• 43:01
  subordinate to the Trump. So, so Trump's
• 43:04
  puppeting heath, but being puppeted by
• 43:08
  Graham and Netanyahu and the and their
• 43:11
  checkers board looks like Iran on one
• 43:14
  side and the rest of the world is calmly
• 43:17
  watching what's going on and not getting
• 43:19
  involved. You got people like uh uh uh
• 43:24
  is it Perez from uh Spain. You have
• 43:28
  Mcronone in his speech that he gave uh
• 43:31
  in South Korea.
• 43:33
  I I believe it was a a commencement
• 43:35
  ceremony that he was talking to him
• 43:37
  about beating up on on what the US is
• 43:40
  doing. And then, you know, it's just
• 43:43
  becoming a pretty powerful uh image for
• 43:45
  me. I'm going to figure out how to make
• 43:47
  it. So, but let's see. Zakarova her
• 43:52
  thing started with Bellarus and the
• 43:55
  unity in the anniversary of their uh uh
• 43:59
  framework of international order
• 44:02
  legitimacy continuity and civilized
• 44:06
  state craft. you know that thing came up
• 44:09
  several times and then uh you know she
• 44:12
  talked about we have partners we've had
• 44:15
  partners they talked about Xi Jinping
• 44:17
  and 30 years of partnership talked about
• 44:20
  Modi and the increasing importance of
• 44:22
  India in uh uh in the Eurasian sphere
• 44:26
  and which is absolutely true they talked
• 44:28
  about Iran and the idiocy of what's
• 44:31
  going on over there um and then after
• 44:33
  she talks about how normal things are
• 44:36
  from their end. She goes to the true
• 44:39
  center of of gravity, the the the
• 44:43
  foolishness of the Ukraine war. Do you
• 44:45
  know Donald Trump put his $ 1.5 trillion
• 44:49
  budget together and there ain't a nickel
• 44:51
  in it identified for Ukraine.
• 44:56
  26 is the last of it. They don't have
• 44:58
  any money. And and I'm for that if it
• 45:01
  occurs. They need to be cut off ages
• 45:03
  ago. But Ukraine, BHA, remember that
• 45:07
  anti-Russian propaganda everywhere,
• 45:09
  censorship all over Europe, pressure and
• 45:12
  deportation of Russian journalists,
• 45:15
  Malddova and the foolishness and
• 45:17
  stupidity being pushed by NATO
• 45:20
  militarization without the US
• 45:23
  Iran sanctions and the most important
• 45:27
  the moral collapse of the West. morally,
• 45:32
  you know, all it is is power. We are
• 45:35
  power mongers. That's it. We're bigger.
• 45:39
  We're baddest. So, if we want Greenland,
• 45:41
  by God, we're going to take it. If we
• 45:43
  want the Panama Canal, we want to kick
• 45:45
  China out of the Panama Canal, we're
• 45:47
  going to If we want to do, if we want to
• 45:49
  uh take leaders from other countries and
• 45:52
  either uh usurp them and make them ours
• 45:55
  like we did in Venezuela and give all of
• 45:57
  their capital to uh uh our we
• 46:00
  nationalized Venezuela and Venezuelan
• 46:04
  oil. That doesn't bother anyone, you
• 46:06
  know, that that apparently not. And the
• 46:08
  the structure of this matters. You know
• 46:11
  what Russia is saying? We have
• 46:14
  colleagues, we have partners, we have
• 46:17
  friends. What do you got?
• 46:21
  What do you got? Seriously, lackeyis.
• 46:24
  And you know, lackeyis surround us and
• 46:27
  then uh we are the lackey of Netanyahu
• 46:31
  and company in the scary version, right?
• 46:34
  And it's pretty scary. you know, I'm I'm
• 46:36
  I'm frightened or I wouldn't be telling
• 46:38
  you this stuff. And I'm not frightened,
• 46:40
  but I but but I'm telling you what, I
• 46:42
  think it's more likely than not when you
• 46:44
  have idiots saying, "Geez, blow up
• 46:45
  straits of Hormuz with a big nuclear.
• 46:47
  Put it in there in the bottom and it'll
• 46:49
  open that thing wide open."
• 46:52
  Yeah. Well, it's, you know, Oman, nobody
• 46:54
  cares. Let's let's um you know, Straits
• 46:58
  of Trump built with a nuclear weapon.
• 47:01
  It's foolish. Uh nuts. So her her speech
• 47:05
  is not random. She talks about domestic
• 47:09
  uh you know shared history, culture, rei
• 47:12
  reform on television, youth festivals,
• 47:15
  focusing on what's important, growth of
• 47:18
  of uh of children, regional cooperation,
• 47:21
  education, huge. And and guess what? She
• 47:25
  spent a long time talking about memory.
• 47:29
  Memory. History.
• 47:32
  History. where we came from. We're not
• 47:35
  allowed to remember where we come from,
• 47:37
  you know. Um, somebody told me while
• 47:40
  while we were driving yesterday, uh,
• 47:43
  come came across that what do they what
• 47:44
  do they call it? The rock, the huge rock
• 47:48
  between Colombia and St. Louis that he
• 47:51
  said the history of it is that people
• 47:54
  want to get rid of this rock because
• 47:56
  they sold slaves on that rock uh, two
• 47:58
  300 years ago.
• 48:02
  Why are we getting rid of it? You're
• 48:03
  getting rid of a rock? You're going to
• 48:05
  spend hundreds of thousands of dollars
• 48:07
  to get rid of a rock? Why? Because
• 48:10
  somebody sold slaves there? I mean,
• 48:12
  Jesus Christ. How far back do we have to
• 48:14
  go to find a place, you know, just keep
• 48:17
  going back and back and back uh to find
• 48:20
  something that we disagree with and
• 48:22
  destroy it? That's what we've done in
• 48:24
  Ukraine. We go back and we we we tell
• 48:27
  them that uh and we make sure that all
• 48:29
  their children are educated that the big
• 48:31
  problem was not Nazism. It wasn't Russia
• 48:34
  defending the world again and itself
• 48:37
  against Nazism. No, no, no, no, no. It
• 48:41
  was the West came in and stopped Russia.
• 48:44
  The aggressor wasn't even wasn't even uh
• 48:47
  uh Germany.
• 48:49
  Wasn't Hitler who's stolen. That's what
• 48:53
  that's what people are being sold. It's
• 48:56
  [ __ ] Pardon my French, but it's
• 48:58
  nonsense. Um, you know, here we the the
• 49:02
  truth cannot be told because the truth
• 49:05
  is frightening or or the truth doesn't
• 49:07
  fit in with our narrative. We can't talk
• 49:09
  about that. We got to we got to tell
• 49:11
  them how uh all of this was all driven
• 49:14
  by Stalin. Every bit of it. And Stalin
• 49:17
  is what? He's a Russian. Oh my god. He
• 49:20
  was Russian. is actually Georgian. But
• 49:22
  you know, so what? That part never
• 49:25
  enters into it.
• 49:28
  These people do. If it doesn't matter.
• 49:30
  It doesn't fit the narrative. We don't
• 49:32
  talk about it. If there's a slave rock
• 49:33
  where somebody sold a slave 200 years
• 49:35
  ago, we got to blow it up. Well, Jesus,
• 49:37
  why don't we go blow up the White House?
• 49:40
  There were slaves in there. It wandered
• 49:42
  through, right? There were people that
• 49:44
  uh uh uh all over the place. George
• 49:46
  Washington, we supposed to hate him.
• 49:48
  Jefferson, we're supposed to hate them,
• 49:50
  too. This is This is foolish.
• 49:54
  Anyway, I'm ranting like a mofo today.
• 49:58
  One of the things she talked about is
• 50:00
  this memory thing. It's is she obsessed
• 50:02
  with who gets to define the past?
• 50:04
  Because remember, that's what they say
• 50:07
  the West is doing everywhere. If you can
• 50:09
  define the aggression as narot
• 50:13
  terrorism, you can define what the West
• 50:16
  chose to do in the form of Donald Trump
• 50:20
  and and and a JV quarterback as
• 50:24
  necessary because they may have gotten a
• 50:27
  nuclear weapon. Who the hell's the
• 50:30
  aggressor? Seriously.
• 50:34
  I mean, seriously,
• 50:36
  think about that.
• 50:39
  Huh? Bha the the the part where this is
• 50:43
  not merely a disputed event but a
• 50:45
  fabricated story. This wasn't this
• 50:48
  wasn't it's not even remotely true. If
• 50:52
  you go and look at what BHA BHA is where
• 50:54
  the where the Ukrainians went and laid
• 50:56
  out bodies on the street and took a
• 51:00
  video. I mean it is propaganda 101. And
• 51:04
  then they took a video the Russians had
• 51:06
  left four or five days earlier and
• 51:07
  turned it over to him and they displayed
• 51:10
  they took bodies some of Russian
• 51:12
  soldiers and displayed them on the
• 51:14
  ground took pictures of him and uh uh
• 51:18
  said look what Russia did
• 51:21
  and and it's it was disgusting then it's
• 51:25
  disgusting now and no and and now it is
• 51:29
  clearly a lie. And how many times in our
• 51:32
  past in America do you look at things
• 51:34
  that have clearly been a lie and
• 51:37
  outlined to you later, but you still
• 51:40
  hold on to the history?
• 51:43
  You still hold on to it being the
• 51:46
  narrative because the narrative is so
• 51:49
  ingrained into your head that you refuse
• 51:52
  to see the truth.
• 51:55
  In the Middle East, certainly that is
• 51:57
  the case. We just keep on jumping from
• 52:01
  country to country to country and
• 52:03
  causing problems and destroying regimes
• 52:06
  and sitting on them. If if Qatar went
• 52:08
  the other way, they'd be no different.
• 52:11
  If they weren't if they weren't selling
• 52:13
  things to us and making fantastic
• 52:15
  wealth, they wouldn't be, you know,
• 52:18
  which country was it that gave Trump the
• 52:20
  $400 billion plane? You know, that would
• 52:23
  that wouldn't be happen. They're buying
• 52:25
  him off.
• 52:26
  They're buying him off.
• 52:29
  Anyway, her language was not cautious.
• 52:35
  They didn't talk about, as I do not,
• 52:37
  possible manipulation of the facts or
• 52:40
  inconsistencies.
• 52:43
  They call it insensi,
• 52:46
  which is in incensing the public.
• 52:49
  Incense
• 52:51
  padlo which means a
• 52:54
  uh you're creating a false fun uh a
• 52:58
  false uh foundation a false foundation
• 53:02
  of something or kravi farce it's a blood
• 53:07
  for the masses you know like uh what do
• 53:09
  they call it here in America kravi farce
• 53:12
  would be you know uh a a blood for the
• 53:16
  to get the to get the wolf on the hunt
• 53:18
  you you you know get throw the throw
• 53:20
  them some meat to them to get them to
• 53:23
  get them jazzed up to and or just
• 53:25
  straight up lies. She she wasn't
• 53:27
  nibbling at the edges at the edges. She
• 53:30
  was and and she's right to do so
• 53:33
  destroyed the legitimacy of BHA
• 53:35
  completely. There are many um right now
• 53:39
  uh
• 53:41
  western even
• 53:44
  um
• 53:46
  tales of you know when they go over
• 53:48
  documentaries documentaries that that
• 53:50
  outline what and how it happened. Same
• 53:54
  thing with uh uh Nordstream 2. Same
• 53:58
  thing with all of the the the
• 54:02
  basis of us creating a millionman army
• 54:06
  or assisting, funding, training, being
• 54:10
  on the ground with advisors, most of
• 54:13
  them western uh money, creating a
• 54:18
  millionman army to get the real jewel,
• 54:21
  which is not Ukraine. The real jewel is
• 54:25
  Russia. Well, Russia ain't giving up its
• 54:28
  jewels, and Ukraine shouldn't have, and
• 54:32
  now they've lost them completely because
• 54:34
  they aren't even on the menu next uh
• 54:39
  next fiscal year when uh money starts
• 54:42
  rolling out of the Pentagon.
• 54:45
  Lindsey Graham is allegedly So, get
• 54:48
  this. Now, the team going to uh to uh
• 54:51
  Istanbul, I think, is where they're
• 54:53
  picking the next round of talks. Guess
• 54:55
  who's going to be there?
• 54:58
  Threeman team. They probably got some
• 55:00
  flunkies traveling along with them. But
• 55:01
  guess who now?
• 55:04
  This tells you how far the Trump the
• 55:06
  Trump team has fallen. Okay, we have
• 55:09
  Jared Kushner. We got Steve Whit
• 55:13
  and Lindsy freaking Graham.
• 55:17
  What in the world is Lindsy freaking
• 55:20
  Graham doing on a negotiation team
• 55:24
  headed to Ukraine on behalf of America's
• 55:29
  positioning?
• 55:31
  He's a freaking senator from South
• 55:33
  Carolina. What the hell? It's not
• 55:36
  remotely in his job to be Trump's man.
• 55:40
  Witco was supposed to be his man. You
• 55:42
  know, they were at least partners in
• 55:43
  real estate. you know, his his nephew or
• 55:46
  what son-in-law, whatever he is, the
• 55:48
  other guy. Okay, I I I dislike both of
• 55:51
  those, you know, where's a professional
• 55:53
  negotiator in the group, you know, a a
• 55:56
  professional diplomat. Sorry about that.
• 55:59
  Where where where is one? They don't
• 56:00
  have one. Nope. It's a blind leading a
• 56:03
  blind.
• 56:05
  And it's terrible. and they're not going
• 56:07
  with the purpose to I mean I hope they
• 56:09
  get peace but they obviously don't
• 56:12
  understand the uh impetus behind it and
• 56:16
  they don't in Iran either because it's
• 56:18
  continuing. So, Zahara spoke about those
• 56:20
  things. Um, and the same framework is
• 56:24
  about the Ukrainian deputy Natalyia
• 56:27
  Peipa and her antis-siet memory
• 56:30
  struggle, you know, and what they're
• 56:31
  what they're putting. She's tying
• 56:33
  today's Ukraine directly to Steon
• 56:37
  Bandera, which I do too because that's
• 56:39
  who they're that's who they honor. You
• 56:41
  know who Stefon Bandera was? He was an
• 56:43
  ally of Hitler in the Ukraine. He killed
• 56:47
  120,000 polls. The polls hate him, but
• 56:50
  they can't say anything because then
• 56:52
  you're anti- uh and well, you're
• 56:55
  pro-Russia. If you say anything,
• 56:57
  suddenly you're you're you're you're not
• 56:58
  beating up sufficiently on Russia.
• 57:00
  Suddenly, you're talking about things
• 57:02
  that uh matter to you, but by God, you
• 57:05
  better not say anything because it might
• 57:08
  mess up the bigger picture. And the
• 57:11
  bigger picture is we have to show that
• 57:13
  it was Stalin who uh
• 57:16
  you know was trying to take over the
• 57:18
  world. Stalin had the opportunity to
• 57:21
  take over the world especially post uh
• 57:23
  post uh World War II right afterward.
• 57:26
  Breton Woods and he didn't he could have
• 57:30
  they were definitely the most powerful
• 57:32
  militarily and they were just coming off
• 57:35
  a massive victory against uh the German
• 57:39
  forces. They could have continued
• 57:41
  rolling. If Russia wanted France so bad
• 57:44
  or wanted Europe so bad, why didn't
• 57:46
  Stalin just keep on rolling? America
• 57:48
  couldn't have put up with it. America
• 57:50
  only lost 600,000. Russia had 26 million
• 57:53
  and they were totally in. They lost 26
• 57:56
  million people.
• 57:58
  26 million people. We lost 600,000 were
• 58:02
  involved in the war for a year and a
• 58:05
  half, two years um active
• 58:09
  and then but Russia had been involved
• 58:11
  since 39 38
• 58:14
  you know it it's it's nonsense. They
• 58:17
  could have taken over France then if
• 58:19
  they wanted it. They didn't want it.
• 58:20
  They went back. So to now claim that
• 58:22
  history doesn't exist
• 58:25
  is deceitful. It's just as bad as taking
• 58:29
  a slave rock and and and pretending it
• 58:31
  didn't happen and not telling people it
• 58:33
  was there.
• 58:36
  So the West is structurally deceitful
• 58:40
  because they just tell these lies to
• 58:42
  their own people and worse yet to the
• 58:45
  world who really knows the truth.
• 58:48
  and and that's all media, non-government
• 58:51
  organizations, the UN, human rights
• 58:55
  structures, the bureaucracy everywhere,
• 58:58
  academia, the sanctions people who try
• 59:01
  to force you to do something, and then
• 59:03
  the broad information warfare
• 59:07
  everywhere.
• 59:10
  Nope. It's uh the classic information
• 59:13
  wars and Ukraine is a terrorist
• 59:15
  according to her, not merely
• 59:17
  adversarial. And I believe Ukraine is
• 59:21
  you very much so.
• 59:24
  Drone strikes, civilian casualties.
• 59:26
  They're doing the same thing that
• 59:28
  America is now. But Donald Trump says
• 59:31
  tomorrow he's doing this. If he's doing
• 59:33
  this tomorrow, that is the end of
• 59:35
  America as we do. We know it. That is
• 59:37
  not how we engage in warfare. It's not
• 59:40
  It's not what we do. It's not what we're
• 59:42
  supposed to do. That ain't the America
• 59:44
  that I remember. We don't go in and
• 59:46
  destroy. What does he want to destroy?
• 59:49
  Desalinization plants, power facilities,
• 59:53
  nuclear and uh standard coal, you know,
• 59:56
  whatever, electrical fac, hydro, any of
• 59:58
  them. They're going to destroy all their
• 1:00:01
  We're going to bomb you back to the
• 1:00:02
  stone ages.
• 1:00:06
  I mean, let that sink in. We're we're
• 1:00:08
  gonna bomb you back to the stone ages.
• 1:00:11
  Why? Because you're Muslim.
• 1:00:15
  That's it. Why? Because Netanyahu is
• 1:00:18
  afraid that someday you might get a
• 1:00:20
  nuclear bomb.
• 1:00:23
  Yeah. You can do that Pakistan who's
• 1:00:26
  already got a nuclear bomb. You going to
• 1:00:28
  do that um in North Korea to somebody
• 1:00:31
  who's already got a bomb? Nope. I mean,
• 1:00:34
  hell, even Ukraine's run around,
• 1:00:36
  Poland's running around going, "Man, we
• 1:00:37
  need to get us some nuclear bombs. We
• 1:00:39
  need some nuclear bombs because
• 1:00:41
  somebody's going to do this to us one
• 1:00:42
  day." Look what's happening over there
• 1:00:43
  in Iran. Look what they're doing to
• 1:00:46
  Iran. They are destroying a 5,000year
• 1:00:50
  uh society, 5,000year empire,
• 1:00:55
  a historical empire. I mean, you know,
• 1:00:58
  obviously, you know, Iran's a a rich
• 1:01:01
  culture. You might not agree with it,
• 1:01:02
  but it's certainly a rich culture. I
• 1:01:04
  didn't agree with Groy. I still went to
• 1:01:06
  Cheschna and uh and checked out the
• 1:01:08
  history of it all. I I I don't agree
• 1:01:11
  with everything that went on in uh uh uh
• 1:01:14
  Georgia.
• 1:01:17
  Georgia's beautiful, you know, and has a
• 1:01:20
  great history. I mean, it's beautiful
• 1:01:22
  stuff. Does that mean it needs to be a
• 1:01:24
  NATO vassel? What kind of crap is this?
• 1:01:28
  H religious pro persecution
• 1:01:32
  is a is happening right now all over
• 1:01:36
  Ukraine and by the way all over all over
• 1:01:40
  this is what we're what are we fighting
• 1:01:41
  for religion right now the Netanyahu
• 1:01:45
  we're talking the Netanyahu dream is gez
• 1:01:48
  you know uh Moses somebody led the Moses
• 1:01:51
  led the slaves out of bondage you know
• 1:01:54
  whatever it was 3,000 years ago and by
• 1:01:57
  I'm Netanyahu and uh now I can uh make
• 1:02:01
  sure that it sinks in because I got some
• 1:02:03
  some fools across the sea who are
• 1:02:05
  willing to do it for us. We don't even
• 1:02:07
  have to do it. We have big brother on
• 1:02:09
  our side and and here he is here. Here's
• 1:02:12
  here's my puppet master, you know,
• 1:02:15
  Netanyahu. There we are.
• 1:02:19
  They're they're they're taking over
• 1:02:21
  monasteries and ransacking them all over
• 1:02:24
  Ukraine. history that's been around for
• 1:02:27
  thousands of years. They're taking these
• 1:02:30
  icons and seizing them. They're
• 1:02:35
  creating, in her words, spiritual
• 1:02:37
  vandalism.
• 1:02:39
  They're taking the patriarchs and
• 1:02:42
  arresting them because why? Because they
• 1:02:46
  say the same the same biblical thing.
• 1:02:49
  This is what's going on in Ukraine.
• 1:02:51
  That's what they're doing.
• 1:02:54
  And uh so Russia is doing what? They're
• 1:02:57
  fighting an existential threat to who
• 1:03:00
  they are. That's what they're fighting.
• 1:03:02
  You can agree or disagree, but guess
• 1:03:05
  what? That's the same thing that Iran is
• 1:03:07
  doing right now. And trust me, they're
• 1:03:10
  going to continue just because you say
• 1:03:13
  you got 48 hours. Last time we had 5
• 1:03:16
  days, the one before that was was 2
• 1:03:18
  weeks. How long is this war going to
• 1:03:20
  last? It's gone a hell of a lot longer
• 1:03:22
  than they said it was going to. And uh
• 1:03:25
  you know,
• 1:03:30
  let's contrast her speech
• 1:03:34
  with
• 1:03:37
  well let's what's she trying to
• 1:03:38
  accomplish?
• 1:03:40
  She wants to talk about the broader
• 1:03:43
  framing, but the bigger is more
• 1:03:44
  accusatory, right? Ukraine isn't an
• 1:03:47
  independent tragic case of aggression.
• 1:03:52
  It's a vehicle for a larger worldwide
• 1:03:57
  anti-Russian
• 1:03:59
  campaign.
• 1:04:01
  And
• 1:04:03
  Ukraine is losing that war because the
• 1:04:05
  West is losing that war. They still pump
• 1:04:08
  it every single day. But there are truth
• 1:04:11
  tellers out there that are telling you
• 1:04:12
  what's going on. I'm one of them. And
• 1:04:15
  I'm telling you, it's
• 1:04:18
  the Bucha. I mean, go, you want to
• 1:04:21
  figure it out for yourself without
• 1:04:22
  listening to me, go and watch the Bucha
• 1:04:25
  narratives and the attack on the Western
• 1:04:27
  media, the rituals of how they uh
• 1:04:32
  how they give you, you know, a blood
• 1:04:35
  scent to the pack to make them to make
• 1:04:38
  them think that a war in Iran or or or
• 1:04:41
  Ukraine is in our best interest. Okay.
• 1:04:44
  Check that out. Check out BHA.
• 1:04:48
  That's that's where that is where the
• 1:04:50
  blue and yellow flags came from because
• 1:04:52
  people too
• 1:04:54
  non-analytic people just took it as
• 1:04:58
  gospel and it's it wasn't remotely true.
• 1:05:01
  Um how about Europe's silence? Western
• 1:05:05
  silence on Orthodox persecution,
• 1:05:09
  Russian Orthodox persecution,
• 1:05:11
  the anti-Russian language policies all
• 1:05:15
  across, you know, you're not allowed to
• 1:05:16
  do it in Lithuania. You know, you boy,
• 1:05:19
  nobody will speak to you. And uh the
• 1:05:20
  policy is worse in Ukraine. You can't
• 1:05:23
  speak Russian in a school.
• 1:05:26
  And they all speak Russian. The
• 1:05:28
  militarization of NATO, they intend to
• 1:05:31
  be at war with Russia by 2030.
• 1:05:34
  idiocy, energy hypocrisy, you know, uh
• 1:05:38
  do you realize who the only niquid
• 1:05:40
  liquid natural gas supplier is left for
• 1:05:43
  Europe? They've destroyed everything
• 1:05:45
  else. Qatar's last shipments are two
• 1:05:48
  more ships showing up and those are
• 1:05:50
  those are Qatar's last two liquid
• 1:05:53
  natural gas shipments to Europe and
• 1:05:56
  they'll be in on Wednesday and that's
• 1:05:58
  it. That's the end of the line. And the
• 1:06:01
  energy war that is going on means that
• 1:06:05
  Europe can either buy from Russia, which
• 1:06:09
  would be easy, simple, cheap, but they
• 1:06:12
  won't, or pay double to triple, some say
• 1:06:16
  up to six times as much for liquid
• 1:06:18
  natural gas coming from the United
• 1:06:20
  States. If you think that's positive,
• 1:06:23
  all right, maybe it is for us for now.
• 1:06:26
  But pretty soon there are going to be
• 1:06:28
  shortages. And who's going to get cut
• 1:06:30
  off first? They're already doing it.
• 1:06:33
  Russia's pushing that game. Iran is
• 1:06:35
  pushing that game. Closing the straits
• 1:06:37
  because they can survive it longer than
• 1:06:40
  we can. And by the way, all the oil is
• 1:06:42
  underneath their ground. US has some,
• 1:06:45
  but increasingly you're seeing them
• 1:06:47
  attempt to steal it from Iran.
• 1:06:52
  That's what's happening. They want to
• 1:06:54
  steal the, you know, natural resources.
• 1:06:57
  That's what we did in in in Venezuela.
• 1:07:00
  Now, you can, you know, I'm a blunt kind
• 1:07:03
  of guy. You know, there are other people
• 1:07:04
  that might be a little more
• 1:07:07
  pragmatic about it. I'm not. I'm blunt.
• 1:07:10
  It's a she g what she did is a is a a
• 1:07:14
  narrative weapon for the uh Russians for
• 1:07:19
  sure. This this this tells, you know,
• 1:07:22
  the blunt truth. What it's a well-
• 1:07:24
  constructed speech. They have a purpose
• 1:07:27
  for this speech. That's what they do.
• 1:07:29
  This is this is a balancing system. This
• 1:07:32
  is something where they're trying to get
• 1:07:33
  the people on board and to understand
• 1:07:36
  why they're doing what they are doing
• 1:07:39
  and how and why it's important. She's
• 1:07:41
  given all the backdrop for why it's
• 1:07:43
  critical that Russia engage in what do
• 1:07:45
  you think people in Russia want to be at
• 1:07:47
  war with Ukraine? No. But they
• 1:07:49
  understand why they are and and they
• 1:07:52
  generally are supportive of the concept.
• 1:07:56
  They might not agree with the u
• 1:07:59
  specifics.
• 1:08:00
  I mean who does? They're they're
• 1:08:03
  smarting people and but they you know
• 1:08:06
  you have to that they have to be thrown
• 1:08:09
  more than oh gee Netanyahu says Iran's
• 1:08:12
  going to create a nuclear weapon. First
• 1:08:13
  of all, who gives a [ __ ] if they do? So
• 1:08:15
  what? So what? you know, oh, then
• 1:08:19
  they'll be a threat to Israel, and
• 1:08:20
  Israel is not a threat to every one of
• 1:08:22
  its neighbors. Come on.
• 1:08:25
  They're they're the threat. Israel is
• 1:08:28
  the threat to the rest of the place over
• 1:08:30
  there. And so, what I thought I would do
• 1:08:32
  would be, you know what, we're going to
• 1:08:35
  look at at old Trumpster. He he he he
• 1:08:38
  gave a speech the day after and I forget
• 1:08:41
  where, you know, I've got it somewhere,
• 1:08:43
  but he had he had a full address. And
• 1:08:51
  if you take his speech, you know, and
• 1:08:55
  contrast it with Zakaravas,
• 1:08:57
  analytically, it's totally unfair
• 1:09:00
  because her speech was something else.
• 1:09:03
  Donald Trump, nobody can ever claim that
• 1:09:06
  he's got a master plan in his speeches.
• 1:09:08
  I believe he just says the first thing
• 1:09:10
  that comes to the mind and moves on. But
• 1:09:12
  Zakarava is pointing this out. She has a
• 1:09:16
  uh uh you know the typical themes about
• 1:09:20
  BHA censorship, Ukraine, NATO, Iran and
• 1:09:25
  the huge
• 1:09:31
  difference in rules for me but not for
• 1:09:36
  thee. And Donald Trump embodies that.
• 1:09:39
  Donald Trump and the US in general will
• 1:09:42
  happily tell everyone else what the
• 1:09:45
  rules are but never engage in them,
• 1:09:49
  you know, or apply them to themselves.
• 1:09:52
  You know, they they just won't do it.
• 1:09:54
  And Trump's speech is grave if you look
• 1:09:57
  at it in the blunt way that I tend to.
• 1:10:00
  It's the president justifying war
• 1:10:04
  wrapped in, you know, victory language.
• 1:10:07
  We've already won force. Well, we're
• 1:10:09
  going to kick the crap out of them.
• 1:10:11
  Punishment. We're going to destroy all
• 1:10:12
  their infrastructure. And finality. Yep.
• 1:10:15
  We're going to win and that's that.
• 1:10:17
  We're going to we're going to defeat
• 1:10:18
  them. And you better get on board cuz
• 1:10:21
  you're next. If you don't, it's uh
• 1:10:28
  Operation Epic Fury. According to him,
• 1:10:32
  one month campaign of overwhelming
• 1:10:34
  success. Yep. If if if it's overwhelming
• 1:10:39
  success, why in the hell am I paying $4
• 1:10:41
  a gallon for gasoline?
• 1:10:48
  Tell you what, one month. Okay, we're
• 1:10:50
  past a month now. We're well into the
• 1:10:52
  fifth week, right? Iran's Navy's gone.
• 1:10:56
  Oh, yeah. What about all the little uh
• 1:10:58
  mini subs I was telling you about? What
• 1:11:00
  about the mining of the of the bottom of
• 1:11:03
  the Straits of Hormoose? Why aren't your
• 1:11:05
  ships moving if the Navy's gone?
• 1:11:09
  Air Force in ruins.
• 1:11:12
  Leadership dead. We killed them all. And
• 1:11:15
  you know, now here's the promise. Here
• 1:11:17
  comes the promise. Why do you have to
• 1:11:19
  promise something if all this already
• 1:11:21
  exists? Absent a deal, the United States
• 1:11:25
  is the United States will destroy Iran's
• 1:11:28
  electrical grid and its oil
• 1:11:31
  infrastructure as well. He says, "We
• 1:11:34
  have all the cards. They have none.
• 1:11:38
  We're going to send them back to the
• 1:11:41
  Stone Age.
• 1:11:43
  That's it."
• 1:11:45
  And there are people there cheering.
• 1:11:46
  Yeah, this is great.
• 1:11:49
  It's not great. It's a a strategic
• 1:11:53
  intimidation is all this is. Is
• 1:11:56
  intimidation
• 1:11:57
  broadcast as a some sort of reassurances
• 1:12:00
  for Americans. You shouldn't be
• 1:12:02
  reassured. You should not be reassured
• 1:12:04
  by this speech. If this is your your
• 1:12:07
  bastion of hope, you got problems
• 1:12:10
  because this is not hope. This is anti-h
• 1:12:14
  hope. This is the furthest thing from
• 1:12:16
  hope that you can imagine.
• 1:12:19
  So Trump is normalizing annihilation of
• 1:12:23
  another of another uh people. He is
• 1:12:26
  normalizing
• 1:12:28
  genocide.
• 1:12:30
  He is normalizing what Netanyahu is
• 1:12:33
  doing all around Israel. Pick a new
• 1:12:36
  country. Pick a new place.
• 1:12:39
  Mhm. Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, just
• 1:12:43
  West Bank. I just pick one.
• 1:12:47
  We We're going to own it all. You know,
• 1:12:50
  we being Israel, not us. And then, you
• 1:12:53
  know, they're they're bomb.
• 1:12:55
  Anyway,
• 1:12:58
  confidence. He He wants to show you all
• 1:13:00
  the confidence. He He's showing the
• 1:13:02
  confidence of an empire that assumes
• 1:13:05
  that assumes he he he says it. He just
• 1:13:08
  comes right out and says it that he has
• 1:13:10
  the right to decide who can have
• 1:13:12
  infrastructure, who can have systems of
• 1:13:15
  energy, who's allowed to own a military
• 1:13:18
  or even have a a political
• 1:13:22
  regime continuity. He says regime change
• 1:13:25
  was not the goal. Well, if it wasn't the
• 1:13:27
  goal, why did you blow the [ __ ] out of
• 1:13:29
  everybody individually and kill their
• 1:13:32
  kids? But immediately adds that regime
• 1:13:35
  change has in effect occurred because
• 1:13:37
  Iran's original leaders are all dead.
• 1:13:39
  And then he threatens to kill them too
• 1:13:41
  if Thrron doesn't comply.
• 1:13:43
  The tone isn't hesitant. It's not
• 1:13:45
  tragic. It's not even reluctant. It's
• 1:13:47
  like
• 1:13:49
  the bully on the block. Well, you might
• 1:13:52
  think he got a shot, but we'll we'll
• 1:13:55
  see. I'm going to kick the crap out of
• 1:13:57
  you and anybody you bring in. That's it.
• 1:14:00
  So,
• 1:14:02
  but I it's unpleasant to listen to a
• 1:14:05
  speech like that.
• 1:14:09
  So, the seriousness of Zah Zahara's
• 1:14:13
  briefing was especially taken in light
• 1:14:16
  of Trump's I don't know what um football
• 1:14:20
  coach cheering we can do it right before
• 1:14:22
  the game on Friday night is uh tell you
• 1:14:27
  what stark
• 1:14:28
  um the fact is
• 1:14:31
  it isn't it wasn't answering a speech
• 1:14:33
  from the American president those things
• 1:14:36
  were somewhat but contemporaneous. So I
• 1:14:39
  don't think they each listened to each
• 1:14:41
  each other and then spoke obviously but
• 1:14:44
  he's talking about the destruction of
• 1:14:47
  states
• 1:14:49
  further choking of energy
• 1:14:52
  uh transport lines
• 1:14:56
  military eradication of bridges
• 1:15:01
  that have nothing to do with the
• 1:15:02
  military. They are the hubs of economy
• 1:15:06
  of Iran. He making friends over there,
• 1:15:10
  right? And uh you know it's this
• 1:15:12
  coercion leverage that he thinks he has.
• 1:15:16
  But I believe as do many many experts
• 1:15:19
  that this is this coercion this
• 1:15:24
  do doineering attitude is
• 1:15:28
  the opposite of what is needed right
• 1:15:30
  now. You need a calm and reasonable
• 1:15:33
  person to at least recognize the
• 1:15:36
  situation as existential for Iran
• 1:15:40
  because what would happen if uh remember
• 1:15:43
  the movie Red Ton Red Dawn with Patrick
• 1:15:46
  sees? What would happen if uh um the
• 1:15:51
  Chinese and the and the Russians um
• 1:15:55
  paratrooped in millions of people,
• 1:15:57
  millions of soldiers into America to
• 1:16:00
  take it over from the inside. You'd have
• 1:16:02
  little pockets of Wolverines everywhere,
• 1:16:04
  wouldn't you, that are that are
• 1:16:06
  fighting. You'd have uh you'd have
• 1:16:09
  people fighting for uh for their lives.
• 1:16:12
  That's
• 1:16:14
  that's what it's for, you know. That's
• 1:16:16
  that's you think that is that Iran's not
• 1:16:18
  having the same thought process. You
• 1:16:20
  think they're not proud of their culture
• 1:16:22
  and who they are, where they come from.
• 1:16:25
  They are. I assure you they are they are
• 1:16:27
  very proud of where they're from.
• 1:16:30
  So he's got all this triumphant.
• 1:16:33
  He's it's all we've won. It's great.
• 1:16:36
  Whole campaigns reduced to the proof of
• 1:16:38
  his strength. Venezuela was described as
• 1:16:41
  we did it in a matter of minutes. Yep,
• 1:16:42
  you did. And it was still wrong. Iran is
• 1:16:45
  described as effectively broken. We
• 1:16:47
  broke Iran in a month. Yeah, but you
• 1:16:49
  thought you were going to do it the day
• 1:16:50
  later.
• 1:16:53
  And they're and they're still not
• 1:16:54
  broken. They're not going anywhere.
• 1:16:56
  We'll still be in this 20 years from
• 1:16:58
  now, even if you quote unquote win. Or
• 1:17:01
  what what about there are people that
• 1:17:03
  say that he that he's that he just goes
• 1:17:05
  out and declares victory. And then if if
• 1:17:08
  we have victory, why are we still
• 1:17:09
  fighting?
• 1:17:14
  This all matters because once war is is
• 1:17:16
  is framed against competence, anyone
• 1:17:20
  opposing it must do more than just
• 1:17:23
  disagree.
• 1:17:25
  They have to restore some sort of moral
• 1:17:27
  gravity to what they're celebrating.
• 1:17:30
  There's no celebration on my end when
• 1:17:33
  Trump declared victory the other day and
• 1:17:35
  says that we're going to win. I mean, I
• 1:17:37
  don't want him going over and bombing
• 1:17:39
  historic sites in uh in Iran or anywhere
• 1:17:42
  else. I don't want Ukraine blowing up
• 1:17:44
  churches or destroying them otherwise
• 1:17:47
  from the the the father, the patriarch
• 1:17:50
  on down in a church that's existed
• 1:17:53
  together with other people for hundreds
• 1:17:56
  and hundred thousands of years.
• 1:17:59
  That's what Trump's proposing in uh in
• 1:18:02
  uh Iran.
• 1:18:05
  That's what they're proposing. You're
• 1:18:08
  going back to the stone age. Dead
• 1:18:10
  civilians, dead children, desecrated
• 1:18:12
  churches, persecuted uh, you know,
• 1:18:15
  languages, false narratives. You know,
• 1:18:18
  it's
• 1:18:20
  Trump's address is openly imperial,
• 1:18:23
  isn't it?
• 1:18:25
  Especially in energy logic. One of the
• 1:18:28
  most revealing parts of what Trump said
• 1:18:31
  isn't even the military language. It's
• 1:18:33
  the energy language. He tells countries
• 1:18:37
  dependent on hormuz that you got to
• 1:18:40
  protect it yourselves or you can just
• 1:18:43
  keep buying from us. The boastful
• 1:18:45
  Americans, you know, you can buy it from
• 1:18:47
  us. We're the biggest baddest thing now.
• 1:18:49
  We control all the oil and we don't give
• 1:18:51
  a [ __ ] about the Middle East. We got
• 1:18:52
  plenty of our own. And he ac suggests
• 1:18:55
  that the straits will open up naturally
• 1:18:58
  once Iran is broken because tan will
• 1:19:02
  need to sell its oil to rebuild. So this
• 1:19:05
  isn't his strategy or not only it's
• 1:19:08
  energy imperialism said out loud we
• 1:19:12
  control the energy. The subtext
• 1:19:15
  Americans will decide what degree of
• 1:19:17
  disc destruction is acceptable and
• 1:19:20
  others will absorb the market cost. We
• 1:19:23
  don't care. We don't need it anybody.
• 1:19:25
  You either support us or your energy
• 1:19:27
  price are going to go up one way or the
• 1:19:29
  other. Either you're not going to get it
• 1:19:30
  from Iran and you'll be forced to get it
• 1:19:32
  from us or you'll get it from Iran at an
• 1:19:35
  increased price cuz you know it can't
• 1:19:37
  come through the straits of Hormuz
• 1:19:39
  anymore.
• 1:19:41
  That's pretty straight up what what he
• 1:19:44
  said that you know Americans are going
• 1:19:45
  to decide what to degree of destruction
• 1:19:47
  is acceptable. Europeans you wouldn't
• 1:19:50
  help. Therefore, we're going to destroy
• 1:19:52
  it and you're screwed,
• 1:19:55
  right? And the global oil order, the
• 1:19:58
  global dollar, the pro dollar are going
• 1:20:00
  to rearrange around the US capacity and
• 1:20:04
  US leverage. And if you don't understand
• 1:20:06
  what's really going on and you support
• 1:20:08
  this war that this is a war against the
• 1:20:11
  yuan and people not using dollars and
• 1:20:15
  the trillions of US debt that have for
• 1:20:19
  years has been built upon the backs of
• 1:20:21
  the pro dollar and US debt. We now have
• 1:20:25
  two legs of debt. Okay, Trump had three
• 1:20:27
  legs of his stool. Okay, you want the
• 1:20:29
  scary version? Here it is. This is
• 1:20:32
  scary, but think about this. Three legs
• 1:20:34
  of the Trump stool. First one is
• 1:20:39
  energy of America, right? Second one is
• 1:20:43
  energy around the world. Third one is
• 1:20:46
  the petro dollar. Okay.
• 1:20:49
  and and which is uh the pro well the pro
• 1:20:53
  dollar and the
• 1:20:56
  uh worldbased currency and the backing
• 1:20:59
  of United the growth of the United
• 1:21:02
  States economy by the fact that we
• 1:21:06
  finance everyone's growth around the
• 1:21:09
  world through the dollar system through
• 1:21:12
  the dollar all this goes back to the
• 1:21:15
  imperialism of that have been gone on
• 1:21:18
  for generations ations, the Dutch East
• 1:21:20
  Indies Trading Company, the French, uh,
• 1:21:24
  the Spaniards, the British, Americans
• 1:21:27
  now, and we are the last well, not the
• 1:21:31
  last, the last in the in this line of
• 1:21:34
  imperialists. And how did we build how
• 1:21:37
  did how did England become so massively
• 1:21:40
  powerful is they funded they stole
• 1:21:43
  India. They stole Africa. France stole
• 1:21:46
  East Asia. France stole uh af North
• 1:21:50
  Africa. Took all of that with their
• 1:21:52
  Russian language, with their dominance,
• 1:21:54
  with their military. They took them
• 1:21:56
  over. And well, it's they're being
• 1:21:59
  booted out even now in some of these
• 1:22:01
  countries. Donald Trump knows all of
• 1:22:04
  this and and he is seeing it. And he
• 1:22:07
  also knows that nobody's buying US debt
• 1:22:10
  anymore and that the debt funding tree
• 1:22:14
  and the regime is coming to an end
• 1:22:16
  unless he does something drastic. So
• 1:22:18
  what does he do? He goes and takes over
• 1:22:21
  Venezuela
• 1:22:23
  and international oil. And his plan was
• 1:22:26
  now I got Iran too, Xi Jinping. Those
• 1:22:30
  two things were going to help you but
• 1:22:32
  now I control them. Now what? What are
• 1:22:35
  you going to do? Get rid of the yuan.
• 1:22:37
  You start trading in the dollar again
• 1:22:39
  and we'll go back to being friends. You
• 1:22:41
  keep buying US debt because we are on a
• 1:22:45
  cliff. And if we don't do something
• 1:22:48
  about US debt, we're going to recognize
• 1:22:51
  quickly that cliff. And tariffs, by the
• 1:22:53
  way, those aren't helping because now
• 1:22:56
  there's a fight uh uh to get the money.
• 1:22:59
  There are advertisements all over TV. I
• 1:23:01
  don't know if you or all over the
• 1:23:02
  internet. I mean that if you paid
• 1:23:04
  tariffs and you want to get them back,
• 1:23:06
  call the firm of whoever and this firm
• 1:23:09
  will help you get your tariffs back that
• 1:23:11
  you paid in because the judge says
• 1:23:13
  they're illegal and they'll have to give
• 1:23:15
  them back. So, how you going to give
• 1:23:17
  back these billions upon trillions of
• 1:23:20
  dollars and uh give that back when you
• 1:23:24
  have nobody funding the debt? All that's
• 1:23:26
  going to happen is we're going to print
• 1:23:27
  new bills. So, think about this. You you
• 1:23:31
  print the new bills and what does that
• 1:23:32
  cause? Inflation. Too many in the thing
• 1:23:35
  and not enough people that want them.
• 1:23:37
  They used to be able to hold them in the
• 1:23:39
  oil dollar, but Qatar isn't buying them.
• 1:23:42
  Saudi Arabia is not buying them.
• 1:23:44
  England's being forced to buy some as
• 1:23:46
  are several other U countries in the EU.
• 1:23:49
  So the people least capable and least
• 1:23:54
  situated
• 1:23:55
  to fund America for another generation
• 1:24:00
  to kick this down the road so that
• 1:24:02
  Donald Trump can can be the greatest
• 1:24:04
  president in history and and and restore
• 1:24:06
  all of this.
• 1:24:09
  Uh but all it's really doing is kicking
• 1:24:11
  the ball down the road. Let's assume he
• 1:24:13
  gets what he wants. I'm telling you,
• 1:24:15
  people are already planning for what
• 1:24:17
  happens after the dollar. They're
• 1:24:19
  already planning it. Part of the attack
• 1:24:21
  on Venezuelans stealing the oil is
• 1:24:23
  because of the bricks initiatives that
• 1:24:25
  they are talking. And those are the
• 1:24:28
  backdrops of what are important for uh
• 1:24:33
  Americans to know that they really don't
• 1:24:36
  know. So, at any rate, I'm going to end
• 1:24:40
  a tiny bit early today. I'd like to uh
• 1:24:42
  get some coffee, a little bit of milk,
• 1:24:45
  and uh I think I'm going to end it a
• 1:24:47
  little bit early. I appreciate you
• 1:24:48
  listening to the show. Hope that you
• 1:24:50
  listen every day. Got some good stuff
