00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: All right, We've got a ton coming up for you today.

43
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: When we talk about Ukraine. But before we do, I

44
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: just want to talk to you a little bit about

45
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: one of our great partners, so excited that he can

46
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: have them as a sponsor. I absolutely love this place,

47
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: and I got a good friend of mine who's on

48
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: the board who says this is one of the best

49
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: colleges in the country by far, and it really is

50
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: just an honor to have to be able to represent

51
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: Hillsdale College. You know, when you look at and we're

52
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: going to talk about this coming up, you know, you

53
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: look at the world today and you look about what's

54
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: going on in Ukraine and Russia, you look about what's

55
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: going on in the Middle East and all these different places.

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: You really kind of get back to that space where

57
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: you're like, God, what we have here in America is

58
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: is pretty unbelievable and phenomenal. You know. You know, there's

59
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: a lot of confusion in the world today. It can

60
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: be very difficult to find what is true and what

61
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: is clear. What is a democracy, what is a technocracy,

62
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: what is an oligarchy, what is a communism? You know,

63
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: but it's critical for you to as an American citizen,

64
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: to really understand what America is and where it comes

65
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: from and So there is a new Hillsdale College mini

66
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: series on colonial America. Now, this thing offers an incredible

67
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: reminder that the first Americans were searching for the same things.

68
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: You know, they believe that faith and reason revealed God's

69
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: design for the world, and that understanding became the foundation

70
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: of their courage and their pursuits of freedom waging war

71
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: against the Brits. Right, it's a stirring look at the

72
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: ideas that still hold us together today, and there are

73
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: definitely some people out there that want to tear those

74
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: down and sort of order to really, you know, invest

75
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: in your development of your patriotic understanding this country. I

76
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: highly recommend and you know, you go to Hillsdale College

77
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: and look these courses up, because I'm willing to bet

78
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: like how many of you understand, like how many Americans

79
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: organized local governments to rule and protect themselves. Have you

80
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: ever known that? What about Did you ever understand why

81
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: America has been a land where virtue can lead to

82
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: peace and prosperity? Right, that's the deed, that's the value

83
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: to be virtuous. And then also, you know, most of

84
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: us know that the Declaration of Independence that it marked

85
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of America as an independent nation. But I'm

86
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: telling you in this Hillsdale course, it focuses on the

87
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: forging of the American character that made the Revolution possible

88
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: and why it's more important than ever to remember and

89
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: reclaim that character today. Right, you have to understand as

90
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: an American, it's part of your duty, it's part of

91
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: your honor to understand where you come from, not just

92
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, in the Continental Congress, but really understand the

93
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: in depth approaches of this, this evolution of the American

94
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: virtue and value system that became that still exists today.

95
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: And if I'm telling you what I would recommend if

96
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: you're if you're in a place where you're struggling to

97
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: believe in America, go take this course at Hillsdale Dale. Right,

98
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: this college mini series is completely free. Right, it's easy

99
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: to access, you know. And I want to add that

100
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: Hillsdale offers more than forty other free online courses, including

101
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: a course on C. S. Lewis the stories from the

Speaker 1: Book of Genesis, the Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic.

103
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,599

Speaker 1: Who Yah, Hillsdale Way to make America, Keep America strong?

117
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: All right, This week has been tribute last you know,

118
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: I did some reviews of last week and stuff, and

119
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: it was the peace Talks. Well, we're at the end

120
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: of the next week of this and by all measures,

121
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: the Peace Talks have basically completely broken down. Many different

122
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: facets have come to play. Last show I read you

123
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: the twenty eight twenty eight Step not the last show,

124
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: but two shows go. The twenty eight America's twenty eight

125
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: plan step plan for Peace. That was really, I mean,

126
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: the main components was guaranteed security for both nominator membership

127
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: and Russia essentially controls the land it has it has taken. Obviously,

128
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: there was a response from the European contingency, who was

129
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: directly behind Zelenski's delivery of this. They're pretty adamant that

130
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: the United States does not have the final say in

131
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: all of this, to the point where we have now

132
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: this week seen what I believe is exactly what our

133
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: friend mister Koon was talking about before when we had

134
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: him on where he said, hey, it's highly probable that

135
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: this thing is moving towards a full blown kinetic engagement

136
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: in Eastern Europe, in Ukraine, Poland some of the Baltics

137
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: against Russia and NATO in the European Union. Now, why

138
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: do I say that? At Jordi, Why don't we bring

139
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: up Mark Root, who's the head of NATO, the comments

140
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: that he has been making. Basically what's taking place is

141
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 1: I think the European Union, led by the German Chancellor,

142
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of France, basically are

143
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: all coming together and saying, hey, we're not going to

144
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: do this. We're going to keep pushing this thing forward. Obviously,

145
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: their military industrial complex is being delivered or enhanced. Their

146
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: agenda of pushing NATO as far east as possible is

147
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: being forwarded. And so I just want to go through

148
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of videos that really kind of caught my

149
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: eye this week. All right, So go ahead and Jordan

150
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: play mister roots this press or a little clip.

151
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: Today, ministers reaffirmed our commitment to increasing defense investment, enhancing production,

152
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: and stepping up support for Ukraine. As we look through

153
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: the anchor of Summits, our priorities are clear, investing in

154
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 3: our security, strengthening our industry, and sustaining our support for

155
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: Ukraine so it has the means to endure this tough

156
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: winter and beyond. Nobody wants peace more than Ukraine, and

157
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: as we work hard for peace, we must continue to

158
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: provide Ukraine with the tool to defense its sufvereignty and

159
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: achieve a lasting resolution. Finally, NATO is a defensive alliance.

160
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: We will remain a defensive alliance. But make no mistake,

161
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: you're ready and willing to do what it takes to

162
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: protect our one billion people and secure our territory.

163
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting about that is he's basically saying that,

164
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's pushing back because there was a couple

165
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: back and forth. He came out made these statements, and

166
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: then immediately they were following up with this idea that

167
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: because you got to fund this. Right, that's the great challenge. Right,

168
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: NATO's funding for its military and this military alliance is

169
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: not great because the vast majority of that JORDI will

170
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: you look up how much America has funded NATO over

171
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: the last four years, if you can get that data.

172
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: So when you think about NATO funding, I mean by far,

173
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: in particularly the Ukrainian War. America has been footing the

174
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: bill for this and vastly outstretching what NATO has done.

175
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: And now with Trump in office, he has come forward

176
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: many times and said, listen, if they're not willing to

177
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: really truly negotiate peace, we're not going to provide what

178
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: we've been providing anymore. This is just not good for us.

179
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: It's not good for our economy, it's not good for

180
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: our taxpayers. Plus, I think the American public is absolutely

181
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: exhausted with supporting this war, in particular with all the

182
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: variables that we've seen, right, and those variables are most

183
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: particular NATO and the European Union want this to continue,

184
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: I would say Ukraine is not in the strategic position

185
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: they profess. And we've got a video coming up here

186
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: in a little bit after that, and that Russia is

187
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: now pushing back and saying, listen, you guys know what

188
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: the deal is. We're not giving back. We want peace.

189
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: We one hundred percent do not want to go to

190
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: war with Europe. He said that multiple interviews over the

191
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and then he always follows up.

192
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: But if NATO continues to threaten and continues to push,

193
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: and if they push the envelope, in particular, if they

194
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: do allow Ukraine to become a NATO country, which only

195
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: can be ratified if the United States degrees, and I

196
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: don't believe that President Trump and his cabinet are going

197
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: to allow that to happen in any way, shape or form.

198
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: But the other fact that you saw this week too,

199
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: even with Wittkoff and Vodka's husband Jared Kushner over there

200
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: for talks, they were forced to wait multiple times while

201
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: Russia engaged in other talks with other delegates from China

202
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: and other places. We saw putin go and meet with

203
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: Modi of India. We've seen a lot of basically Russia

204
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: is saying, you know, the sense I get is, I

205
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: don't believe that Russia believes that the US has any

206
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: control or influence on the European Union in NATO. All right,

207
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,479
Speaker 1: So how much has has the US contributed to NATO.

208
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 2: Over the last four years? Looks like the total is

209
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: about two point two billion? Is the US direct share approximately.

210
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: In NATO spending on just overall operations. Overall operations.

211
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: I think the total NATO Common Budget says was thirteen

212
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: point six billion. The US direct share is two point

213
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: two billion since twenty twenty.

214
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: One, since twenty and that's annually, two point two annually. No,

215
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: that's a total of total. Okay, all right, and then

216
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: would you pull up, now, would you pull up how

217
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: much money the US has spent on supporting Ukraine? Yes,

218
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: all right, so you have that. And now the other

219
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: aspect of this that you're seeing too is Ursula van

220
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: vander Layan, who's the head of the European Union, who

221
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: came out with this, Because obviously, if the US pulls

222
00:14:54,720 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: out and reduces its contributions economically, militaristically, UH, intelligence support,

223
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: ground operations, support, training, all of that, then you're in

224
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: big trouble, right because now the European Union and they've

225
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: they've committed to try and raise five hundred billion dollars

226
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years for its strategic defense initiatives.

227
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, all of these countries have a profound economic

228
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: burden and sought I found it fascinating right as Mark

229
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: Root and a bunch of the other prime ministers are

230
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: are are slow dripping their populations into preparing them for

231
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: this conflict that I think they want and they believe

232
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: is coming regardless or want it to come. And a

233
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: whole nother story is whether or not you're going to

234
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: get your populations to fight in this. And I'm going

235
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: to talk about military assets here in a second. All right,

236
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: what is what is the US given Ukraine? Who total

237
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: direct aid?

238
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: Direct aid is one hundred sixteen to one hundred and

239
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: twenty one billion, so call it one hundred and twenty billion.

240
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So you look at the NATO two point two

241
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: billion over the last few years, and then one hundred

242
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: and what was it twenty billion? One hundred and twenty

243
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: billion of your tax dollars have gone to this meat

244
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: grinder of a war. Right you either you forwarded against it.

245
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: That just you need to know how much spending has invested. Well,

246
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: so what they figure is they need money the European

247
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: Union because chances are if they continue to push this

248
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: and they push that NATO, that Ukraine joins either the EU,

249
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: because I don't think the US will allow NATO to

250
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: Ukraine to join NATO. So they'll join the European Union,

251
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: but then activates other treaties would underneath that. Then they

252
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: can come to their defense and begin kinetic operations, which

253
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: Keir Starmer has said, Marcon has said, the head of

254
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: Germany has said, So why don't you play miss Ursula's comments,

255
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: because what they're talking about doing is seizing assets, Russian

256
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: assets in particular in Belgium, seizing Russian assets to pay

257
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: right for the arming, to pay for the operational build

258
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: up of the European Union and NATO forces should the

259
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: United States not participate. So let's hear what old Ursula

260
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: had to say.

261
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 4: From twenty six percent to two percent today. I always

262
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 4: knew that we could deliver with you.

263
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: Real quickly for me, Jordy. So what she's talking about

264
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: and this is crucked. I didn't set that up properly.

265
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: Apologize what she's talking about. Obviously, the number one thing

266
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: that drives any war effort is what it's energy. You

267
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: have to have energy. If you don't have energy, you're

268
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: not waging a war. Period. You need gas. You need

269
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: gas for tanks, you need gas for logistics, you need

270
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: gas for this. You need gas to transport weapons and

271
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: people and airplanes and all of this shit that would

272
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: have to come down for kinetic war against Russia. Well,

273
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: guess what. The European Union has been buying Russian gas

274
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: through the entire war because they need it, because if

275
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: you look at Germany, they've shut down a tremendous amount

276
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: of their energy production as well as other countries, and

277
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: you know they buy it through ghost entities or other

278
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: countries that are basically buying Russian fuel then selling that

279
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: fuel to the European Union. So this is what she's

280
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: talking about. She's going to Their whole goal is we

281
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: are going to prepare to go to war, potentially go

282
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: to war with Russia by getting rid of Russian oil.

283
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 4: So go for it with resolve and by building on

284
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 4: the extraordinary work of the past three years with our

285
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: repower EU plan, we overcame the worst energy crisis in decades.

286
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 4: We saved energy together while ensuring energy security all the way.

287
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 4: We diversified our suppliers to trusted partner signing new partnerships,

288
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 4: and we invested in renewables and nuclear at unprecedented speed.

289
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 4: Today half of our electricity comes from renewables. And if

290
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 4: you look at the low carbon energy, so nuclear and renewables,

291
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 4: it's seventy four percent. And this is just the beginning.

292
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 4: Repower EU kept us safe winter after winter. It kept

293
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 4: the lights on in Europe's schools and hospitals, it kept

294
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 4: homes warm across the Union. So this is a true

295
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 4: European success.

296
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: It's a load of shit, is what she's saying. Basically,

297
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous because give me one historical war or conflict

298
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: that has ever been run off renewables. It's just it's

299
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: it's outlandish at best. Right, It's just it doesn't make

300
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: any sense. It's more gas lighting the European people all right. Now,

301
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: the other aspect, their energy costs too.

302
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's important to say your European energy costs for

303
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: households went through the roof one hundred percent.

304
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: They've had an injured energy crisis because the whole climate

305
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: changed fiasco and shutting down nuclear power plants, shutting down

306
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: cold the production, shutting down. I mean, they've basically crippled

307
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: themselves and forced themselves to be able to have to

308
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: use Russian Russian oil. So it's just comical at best,

309
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: all right. The other aspect that they're saying is all right,

310
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: we're not gonna use their oil and we're so and

311
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: we don't have the funds because our economies are in

312
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: the toilet. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna

313
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: take these Russian assets that are in all these places,

314
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: in particular in Belgium, and we're going to use these

315
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: assets to pay for the war effort for Ukraine, and

316
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: then afterwards we're going to force, once we win the war,

317
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: we're going to force Russia to pay back these assets. Well,

318
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: there were multiple people in in these area, Brussels and

319
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: these other places that were like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

320
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: These go against the treaties that we have in place

321
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: in Europe to protect these types of funds. There's a

322
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: legal issue in here, and they basically shut miss Ursula

323
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: down for the first few days when this came out,

324
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: saying we're not going to do this. We're not gonna

325
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: do this. Because Putin then responded and said, hey, listen.

326
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: Uh he basically gave a warning if if you do this,

327
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: we will seek re re ret retribution in indefinite circumstances, right,

328
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: So whatever that means. So, hey, we're we're gonna take

329
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna take your all your cash, all your money

330
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: that you've parked in European banks, We're gonna take it,

331
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: use it to go to war with you. And then

332
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: and what's you know? So Putin's like, well, if you

333
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: do that, I'm not gonna be happy. It's gonna be

334
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: ugly for you. Then they come back and say, see,

335
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna kill all of Europe. He's threatening Europe to sovereignty.

336
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: That's what is so comical about this. And it's like

337
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: they think people are are essentially just ignorant to the

338
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: sequence of what this stuff is going. So this guy,

339
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: who I found interesting because initially he was like, no,

340
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 1: we're not doing this. Then he obviously he got the

341
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: phone call or a phone call or some pressure or whatever,

342
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: and then he came out and he said this, so

343
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: listen to this cat.

344
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 5: Well, I'm looking forward to the discussion on the immobilized assets,

345
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: not the frozen assets. There's a big difference of sovereign assets.

346
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 5: There's the idea of confiscating them to give them to Ukraine.

347
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 5: I'm looking for the legal basis for this decision. This

348
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 5: is not a very it's not a detail. Even during

349
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 5: the Second World War, immobilized assets were never touched. So

350
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 5: this is a very important step if we would like

351
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 5: to take it. We have three demands. I want the

352
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 5: full mutualization of the risk, because there is a big

353
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 5: risk we will suffer from enormous claims, so if we

354
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 5: want to do this, we will have to do this

355
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 5: all together. We want guarantees if the money has to

356
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: be paid back, that every member state will chip in.

357
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 5: The consequences cannot only be for Belgium. And the thirty

358
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 5: month is that every country as immobilized assets moves together

359
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 5: with us, because we are.

360
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: The only ones.

361
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 5: Euroclely is the only financial institution that offers the windfall

362
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 5: profits to Ukraine. We know that there are vast amounts

363
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 5: of Russian money in other countries who have always been

364
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 5: silent about this. If we move, we must move all together.

365
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 5: Youruropean solidarity. If these three d mats we are quite reasonable,

366
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 5: I think are myths, then we could go forward. If not,

367
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 5: I will do everything in my power at the European level,

368
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 5: also at the national.

369
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: Level politically and legally to stop this decision. So oh boy,

370
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: there comes out and says, you know what, Hey, if

371
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: you guys want to do this and you got to

372
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: put skin in the game, you've got to basically take

373
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: the assets that you're incurring profit on that are parked

374
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: in your banks, these massive quantities of Russian assets from

375
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: wherever you want to talk about, whether it's oligarchs or

376
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: the government or whatever it is, and we're going to,

377
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: like all of you are going to contribute at the

378
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: same time, basically all of your countries are going to,

379
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, collectively say hey, hey, Vladimir, you know up

380
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: yours bud, we're taking your money and we're going to

381
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: finance with your money to take you down. I don't

382
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: know about you, but if that doesn't scream attack backing Russia,

383
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: Russian sovereignty, I don't know what does. And then think

384
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: about what that does in any future treaties around the

385
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: world where you're going to operate and you're gonna you're

386
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna use your capital and invest it in foreign countries

387
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: put it in their banks. That basically makes the entire

388
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: European Union off takes them offline for that type of

389
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: investment and says, well, wait if I invest and put

390
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: my money in European banks or bonds or whatever markets,

391
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: and then somehow they get pissed at me and then

392
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: stop and then freeze my assets, why the hell am

393
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: I gonna do this? Ultimately, what comes out of that

394
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: it drives people towards parking their assets in other places,

395
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: i e. The Bricks Group. Right then they'll be open

396
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: for business and say, oh, park your money right here,

397
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: park you. We won't ever do that to you. It's

398
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: never gonna happen. Well to Russia too.

399
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: We took some of Russians Russia's ass as, we kicked

400
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 2: them out of the Swift system. All of this, and

401
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: the world had the exact reaction you just said, which

402
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 2: has moved towards the brick system. Because I mean, imagine

403
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: if I just heard my neighbor down the street, my

404
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: bank just took all their money because they hated him. Right,

405
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about taking my money out of that bank

406
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: because what you like, am I gonna make you mad

407
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 2: someday and my money's gone.

408
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: You know, that's what these morons are doing. And again

409
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: that's why my gut tells me the inevitability of a

410
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: hot war with Russia in the European Union is I mean,

411
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to put that at eighty five percent right now,

412
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: is what I think. Yeah, that high because the rhetoric

413
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: this week last week, it was like, hey, don't leave

414
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: us out of the game, like let us, let us play,

415
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: let us be involved, let us grandstand and say, you know,

416
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: we actually have power in all this, and the US

417
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: in Russia basically like a f off, little little people,

418
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: get out of here. We're not listening to you, right,

419
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: and and that that's what at stake. So what does

420
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: the European Union do. They're like, all right, we got

421
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: a billion people, we got you know, we got five

422
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: hundred million, five hundred billion in GDP and all this stuff,

423
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: and you know, to hell with all you, We're we're

424
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: gonna do this ourselves. We're gonna break this down ourselves,

425
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: which they have done. What you can do for me

426
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: now is just is pull up the Marcone piece right there,

427
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: because obviously there was a leaked conversation that came out

428
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: and I don't this isn't what he's putting up. But

429
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: basically Marcone has come out with a bunch of nasty things,

430
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: one saying that the US is essentially betraying the European Union.

431
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: They're acting uniladder. This one that Mario Nefuall put out.

432
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: Will you read the headlines there for me on that one? Yep.

433
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: Macrone warns the US could betray Ukraine Europe fears secret

434
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 2: deal on territory. An eleaked call between European leaders Emmanuel

435
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: Macron reportedly warned there is a possibility that the US

436
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 2: will betray Ukraine on the issue of territory without clarity

437
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: on security guarantees. It's a stunning statement, not just for

438
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: its bluntness, but for what it could, for what it

439
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: signals a deep fracture and trust between Europe and Washington.

440
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, so that alone just proves that Marcone

441
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: in the rest of these these juvenile diplomats right, because

442
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't again, I don't get the sense that they

443
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: want peace. If this thing is about land, Russia is

444
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: not gonna sacrifice a million plus of its if it's citizens,

445
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: of its young men and then give that back and

446
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: some piece assured they're not going to give up what

447
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: they've fought for. That's that's not the way this works.

448
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: It never has worked this way, it never was. So

449
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: the fact that European Union's like, no, no, no, we

450
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: can raise the army and bring them in the NATO.

451
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: Then they have to fight all of us and then

452
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: we can win. Like they just keep upping the stakes,

453
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: and that's what it is, all right play play the

454
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: video also from Keir Starmer, the English PM, because his

455
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: his idea of what this is is just feels delusional

456
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: at best.

457
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 6: All right, players, mister speaker, were united in wanting a

458
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 6: cease fire and a permanent end to the horrendous suffering

459
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 6: that this war has.

460
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: Brought to Ukraine.

461
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 6: I have always said I must be a just and

462
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 6: lasting piece, and both of those words.

463
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: Mister speaker, are important.

464
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 6: Just and lasting, So, mister speaker, I welcome the continued

465
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 6: efforts of the United States to end the war and

466
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 6: stop the killing. The initial draft of the twenty eight

467
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 6: point Plan included points that were not acceptable, but also

468
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 6: some very important elements that will be essential for a

469
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 6: just and lasting peace. For example, it sets out steps

470
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 6: on security guarantees from the US and partners. This is

471
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 6: very significant, and the discussions in Geneva took important steps

472
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 6: forward with progress between the US and Ukraine on an

473
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 6: updated peace framework. I can reassure the House that work

474
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: is ongoing to refine this plan.

475
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: Mister speaker.

476
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 6: We're clear about the fundamental principles here that Ukraine's sovereignty

477
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 6: must be maintained, that Ukraine should be able to defend

478
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 6: herself in future, and that matters about Ukraine and its

479
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 6: future must be determined by Ukraine.

480
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: All right, all right, you know, so you listen to

481
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: this and he's basically saying the twenty eight point plan out,

482
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: We're not doing it because you've got to give back land, right,

483
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: Ukraine must remain sovereign. Ukraine is Ukraine. No, and Zelensky's

484
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: come out multiple times, you know, we're not giving up

485
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: any of the lands. So that just that the NATO,

486
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: the Russian assets and giving up like these are all

487
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: no go things for Vladimir Putin and what's taking place.

488
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of ridiculous to me, all right.

489
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: So the thing that I just I want to just

490
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: give you a little heads up on, right, because I

491
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: believe the premonition that I'm having is this is going

492
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: to lead to a kinetic hot war, right and the

493
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: only way they're going to ever be able to do

494
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: this if they include us in this type of thing.

495
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: But you also got to remember, in this time right now, right,

496
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: Putin's not just sitting around letting all the deals be

497
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: done over there. He just solidified big deals with China,

498
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 1: China support, He's solidified. He was just an idiot India.

499
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: So that'll be like, hey, if we go into this,

500
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: you're not going to support the other side, right, And

501
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: he's like, hell no, what we're not going to get

502
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: in that. We don't need them, right, We'll just their

503
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: economies will collapse, they'll lose all these people, they'll go

504
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: into destruction mode, and the dollar will probably be collapsed

505
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: because they're thirty eight trillion. No, we got this. You're good.

506
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: You have our assurances, we won't we won't part this

507
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: pay You're good, right, And so what you have to

508
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: begin to understand if the US, if someone in the

509
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: US I don't know who it is or what it is,

510
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: says we are going into a hot war with the

511
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: Russians in Ukraine, you will see the biggest revolt in

512
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: human in US history. You will not get American troops

513
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: to go to war over in the in the Eastern

514
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: Europe against Russia. I promise you that it will not happen.

515
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: No way, when we do World War three in Europe again,

516
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna happen. I promise this on the street.

517
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: Yeah right, dude, I mean it's ridiculous, all right. So

518
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: here we go. Manpower, so active personnel across Europe soldiers

519
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: is two point five million, with reserves adding another three million.

520
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: Equipment modernizations, emphasis on tack tanks eused totals about six

521
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: thousand aircraft, forty five hundred fixed wing naval assets, twelve

522
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: hundred fragmentation, one hundred and seventy eight weapons types missile

523
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: drone focus Annually. There are product annual production of seven

524
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty to seven hundred plus ballistic and cruise

525
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: missiles annually outpaces Europe's interceptor output by one point five

526
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: to two times, prompting initiatives of the European Sky Shield

527
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: for Integrated Defense NATO EU integration. Eighty four thousand US

528
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: troops remain stationed in Europe, but initiatives like PEESCO and

529
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: the EU rapid deployment capacity five thousand troops by twenty

530
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: twenty five. All right, here's a greater analysis, all right,

531
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: active military personnel. Right, this is bodies into the trenches,

532
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: because that's what you have to think about, all the

533
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: videos that you've seen of those drones dropping videos on

534
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: those poor soldiers, both on the Ukrainian side and the

535
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: Russian side, just dining over and over in this meat grinder.

536
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: One point five. Some people are saying two million, some

537
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: people are saying one million. Whatever it is, it is

538
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: a tragic, massive loss of human life in this. All right,

539
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: So France ready for this. Two hundred and three thousand

540
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: people in France with forty thousand reserves, Germany one hundred

541
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: and eighty three thousand with thirty four thousand reserves, Greece

542
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty two thousand, Italy one hundred and

543
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: sixty five thousand, the Netherlands forty one thousand, Norway twenty

544
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: three thousand, Poland two hundred and two thousand, Portugal twenty

545
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: five thousand, Romania sixty nine, Russia one point. I'm not

546
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: gonna do that. They're Spain one hundred and twenty four thousand,

547
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: Sweden twenty four thousand, Ukraine, nine hundred whatever, UK one

548
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty four thousand with thirty seven thousand reserves. Okay,

549
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: so all in all, you're looking, you know, are all

550
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: those countries gonna throw their youth at this? I don't know.

551
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't see a lot of these other countries like

552
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: banging on their desks that were in fully support of this.

553
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: So the question is, even if they the major countries

554
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: say yeah, we're going to war, are you going to

555
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: have those other smaller countries like Italy or Norway or

556
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: whatever say yeah, here's our young men, let's throw them

557
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: into this meat grinder too. I don't know.

558
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: Plus the total I didn't add it up exactly, but

559
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 2: the total sounded like roughly a million ish total ish, right.

560
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, little maybe a little over that little over Well,

561
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: more people have died than that already in the war.

562
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, that's right. With reserves. Yeah, Now,

563
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: I saw a statistic the other day here it says

564
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: Russia has one point three two million active duty and

565
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: another two million in reserves. So Russia, you're staring at,

566
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: and they could conscript, you know, they got one hundred

567
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: and fifty million people, so you know, if they had to,

568
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: you could probably have a ten million man army. Now

569
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: here's the other thing, like, and I don't know if

570
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: you've seen him, but the man on the street interviews

571
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: with young people on the streets of England or you know,

572
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: in London, or on the streets of Paris, or on

573
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: the streets of Denmark or you know, Germany or whatever,

574
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: and they ask, you know, would you go to war

575
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: for Europe and Ukraine? And the answers are hilarious. And

576
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: it's not just the immigrants saying hell no, it's the

577
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: locals being like, no, I'm not going to war over there.

578
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: That's not what we're gonna do. Because why, I think

579
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: what everybody imagines. It's going to be the Nebraska cornhusker kid,

580
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: or the Alabama high school dropout, or or you know,

581
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: the Florida Orlando you know kid working at McDonald's are

582
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: all going to like, sign on them, let's go fight

583
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: for Ukrainian freedom against the bad Russians. Right, It's just

584
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: it's an illusion. Then you get into the armored vehicles,

585
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: tanks and armored vehicles, all right, you're ready, yep, how

586
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: many tanks do you think Germany has or France, oh

587
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: I have, I don't even know what. Hey you get

588
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: ten thousand, two hundred and twenty two. Oh oh no,

589
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: Guess how many tanks the UK has? Five hundred, two

590
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven. Okay, guess how many tanks Russia

591
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: has ten thousand, twelve thousand, five hundred and sixty six

592
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: with thirty thousand armored vehicles? All right? Okay, let's go aircraft.

593
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: Let's do let's do attack helicopters. Right, let's do that

594
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: helicopter all right, So, France, how many you thinks?

595
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be less optimistic this time? Twenty attack helicopters

596
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: sixty sixty nine Germany? How many attack helicopters in Germany?

597
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: Forty two fifty five?

598
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 3: Go down?

599
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: Let's go down to the UK. How many attack helicopters

600
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: does the UK have? Thirty eight fifty? All right? How

601
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: many attack helicopters does Rush have? One thousand, five hundred

602
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: and fifty nine? All right? All right? Uh? Key ballistics,

603
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this math isn't great. Cruise missiles, It's

604
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: not even like missile systems are hilarious. I'm not even

605
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: going to get into that. So they have like ten

606
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: x the people and ten x the equipment. Yeah, I

607
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: mean it's it's absolutely staggering. So they could just war

608
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: of attrition this thing. That's what it is. Yeah, that's

609
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: what it is. Yeah, that's what it is. It's the

610
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: war of attrition, right, And we've seen that multiple times

611
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: in the twentieth century, World War One and World War

612
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: two and what ultimately came of what came of World

613
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: War one, World War two, world War two. Right, So

614
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: we're going to go into and then what happened economically

615
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: to all those parties that were involved. That's the real

616
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: kick shut down.

617
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 2: And I mean, if you're willing to sacrifice your own

618
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 2: people like that and burn through young men, I mean,

619
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 2: you tell me, you know better than me.

620
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: But I feel like the war of attrition works. Oh

621
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: that's the whole pretense of it. Yeah, that's the whole thing.

622
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: That's the whole game is how many human beings can

623
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: you throw at the mag And we're not at a

624
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: place where we've got, you know, infinite supplies of autonomous drones.

625
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: This will be the last great war of of manpower.

626
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: That's what this will be, right, This will drag on

627
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: for five to ten years or whatever it is kill

628
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: you know, uh, millions, depend upon how it bigs. It'll

629
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: kill millions of people. Couldn't bring in, could turn into

630
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: a world war for sure, which could kill billions, could

631
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: go nuclear for sure. So it's like, that's what's that.

632
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: That's what these people are playing with right now, instead

633
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: of just being like, hey, that's it. You know, here's

634
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: the deal. You keep the land, you give us promises,

635
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: nobody joins NATO. You can have some security forces they

636
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean you have They said you could have six

637
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: hundred thousand in a military. You know, we'll we'll open up,

638
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: we'll do business, will help, we'll be you know, rehabilitate

639
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: Ukrainian with all these financial support, rebuild the whole place,

640
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: like yeah, easy day, dude. Nope.

641
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: What takes me off is that from what it sounds like,

642
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 2: these European leaders, they're living in this weird fantasy world

643
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 2: of shoulds like well, Ukraine should have its sovereignty and

644
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 2: we shouldn't, we should not you know, give Russia anything.

645
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 2: And it's all these like ideals and ideas, and I

646
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 2: just don't understand what kind of fantasy world people are

647
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: living in.

648
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: It's this is reality.

649
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: This is a war, right, There's no like, well, this

650
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 2: is the right thing to do or the wrong thing

651
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 2: to do. No, people are gonna freaking die if we

652
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: don't come to an agreement here, Like it's you're in

653
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 2: the world.

654
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: Of product that's it. You're the world of practicality idealism thing.

655
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: Yeah no, and that's that's what these people who will

656
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: never step foot on the front lines are are basically

657
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: ramping this thing up that's going to cost you know,

658
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: an untold scale of of of of human life. Young

659
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: men are going to go into those trenches and die

660
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: at mass scale again and for the image.

661
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: Their image or something they're trying to protect how they

662
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: look to people, because they don't want to give up

663
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 2: land because that means they're supporting Russia. So that way, anyway,

664
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: just send the send the young men to die, because

665
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to look bad in this negotiation or

666
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: something like what is that?

667
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 3: I mean?

668
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: You can you can evaluate all major conflicts throughout human history,

669
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: in particular the last thirty years, you know, I think

670
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: the overwhelming and a report, a final conclusive report of

671
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: the war in Afghanistan which just put out. Scott Horton

672
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: posted it today I'm going to try and read it

673
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: over the weekend, maybe cover it next week a little bit,

674
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: but I'm going to and basically he read the report

675
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: and said, oh, here's what we gained from going to

676
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 1: war in Afghanistan for twenty plus years. Not a zero. No,

677
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: it only put us a debt, massive loss of life.

678
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: We gained nothing from it, no strategic advantage, no rare

679
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: mineral advantage, no strategic position in the region. Nothing. We

680
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: gained nothing from it. So but I'll cover that out.

681
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: And so did we gain anything from Iraq? Did we

682
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: gain anything from the first golf for Did we gain

683
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: anything for them? The regime change in in Libya? Did

684
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: we I mean, there's open slave markets in Libya. Now,

685
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: how about the Sudan or any of these other places.

686
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: What are the actual benefits to global stabilization and the

687
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: benefits to the American taxpayer and the American person, Like,

688
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: what are the benefits If you can prove to me

689
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: these are the benefits, they are. Yeah, all right, let's

690
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: move on to the next one. So that that I just

691
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: my summary in that is this, this is going to

692
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: continue to go on. There's not going to be peace,

693
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen, and the European Union is

694
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: going to continue to ramp up. The NATO rhetoric's going

695
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: to ramp and I think they're just trying to figure

696
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: out how to push it into a connectic hot war

697
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: with Russia, in the European Union, in NATO involving us.

698
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: By the way, Okay, So I mean, I know that

699
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: was a long, long segment on Russia and Ukraine. But

700
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: it's really critical again that you understand this stuff so

701
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: you can put it into context, that you can really

702
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: be able to make a solid decision on what you

703
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: think your representatives and your president should do, because it's

704
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: going to come down to that eventually. I really believe

705
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: that you know, and and and before we move on,

706
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: it's just I want to talk about another incredible sponsor,

707
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: one that really believes in America, and that's patriot Mobile.

708
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this group, they believe in what we represent

709
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: to the world around us, this idea of freedom, this patriotism,

710
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: this core belief system that really drives our our country

711
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: and our freedoms. And it's and every so often something

712
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: happens that that reminds us really how fragile our freedoms are.

713
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: Potentially you've seen that in the last few years. We

714
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: can't afford to take our rights for granted, and we've

715
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: got to draw a line in the sand. And our

716
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for

717
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: more than twelve years. The truth is there is only

718
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 1: one provider that boldly stands in the gap for Americans

719
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: who believe freedom is worth fighting for right, and that's

720
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading the red economy,

721
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: they're also outpacing the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is

722
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: one of the only carriers offering premium access on all

Speaker 1: coverage as the other main carriers. They also offer unlimited

Speaker 1: Who yah? All right. The other big piece of information

737
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: that just popped is just today this morning, the FBI

738
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: was able after a many many years of investigation, they

739
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: were they captured who they believe is the main suspect

740
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: in the January sixth pipe bomber who placed two pipe

741
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: bombs around the buildings where the Vice president was the

742
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: Democratic National Headquarters during January sixth, the night before, and

743
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: which has been covered really well by an organization called

744
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: what was it Revolt A revolver News. Adam Beattie Beatley

745
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: Beatty covered that all during through so you go back

746
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 1: and look at his coverage on that. Recently, the Blaze

747
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: had identified they thought it was a Capitol police woman.

748
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: Probably get a defamation lawsuit against them now. But here

749
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,280
Speaker 1: was the other interesting and would you play the clip

750
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: from John Solomon and him breaking this and we'll talk

751
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: about it after this.

752
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 7: Mentioned I think it was just before Thanksgiving on your show.

753
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 7: I thought there would be an arrest this week. They

754
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 7: were zeroing in on a gentleman whom they arrested this

755
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 7: morning in northern Virginia. And the way this case was

756
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 7: cracked was about a month or six weeks ago. Bong Gino,

757
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 7: who was the lead on it and Cattel decided to

758
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 7: take the old agents of the case and put a

759
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 7: new team on it. Now there was a little resistance,

760
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 7: as there always is in the FBI to any form

761
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 7: of change, but the new team came in, they applied

762
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 7: some new ideas and new technologies, and some of the

763
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 7: evidence that was sitting right in front of them with

764
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 7: fresh eyes was followed and it was able to be

765
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 7: led to this gentleman who they arrested a little bit ago.

766
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 7: We don't know much about his ideology, or his intentions

767
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 7: or his motives yet. And one of the things that

768
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 7: f officials stresses me this morning is that this is

769
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 7: really the beginning. The arrest is the beginning of trying

770
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 7: to understand how this operation was conducted, who's behind it,

771
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 7: whether there are more conspirators, or whether this is a

772
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 7: lone wolf.

773
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: Still all of that to be determined.

774
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 7: But a really extraordinary effort, almost five years later, with

775
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 7: a fresh set of eyes and a different approach the

776
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 7: FBI that couldn't solve the case for four and a

777
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 7: half years solves it very much like the way that

778
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk investigation occurred. In the first few hours, there

779
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 7: were a lot of FBI agents in Old Guard.

780
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: Yuh all right, So you know, basically when I hear that,

781
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: what I see is that you had a case that

782
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: they weren't going to solve. They didn't want to know.

783
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: The Biden administration didn't want to know who was solved

784
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 1: in the case, who was working on it. It was stable.

785
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: I firmly believe that there was a major role from

786
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: the FBI in the January sixth fiasco. Remember we had

787
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: Clay Higgins ask Christopher Ray how many Plane closed informants

788
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: or undercover agents did you have in and he said,

789
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: I can't talk about that. I can't in Higgins law.

790
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: He's like, the answer should be none. What are you

791
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: talking about? And later he came out Higgins gave a

792
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 1: statement that over I think it was like two hundred

793
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: and two hundred plus informants or agents were in the

794
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: crowd on January sixth. Obviously, we have the Ray apps

795
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: at fiasco, we have the bullhorn guy on the top

796
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: of the scaffolane. Some of the other guys who broke

797
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: the windows and confronted. You know, there's a bunch of

798
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: great documentaries that outline the footage that was released. We

799
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: still haven't gotten all of the footage from that day release,

800
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: in particular, like uh Beattie in his analysis of the

801
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: in particular J six bomber, like the frame rate of

802
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: the of the video for the guy that or whoever

803
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: this guy maybe and Brian Cole was his name, We

804
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: know nothing about him. I haven't seen anything yet. And

805
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: and you know, they had messed with the frame rates, right,

806
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: this is two thousand and in one camera systems, and

807
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 1: they were doing like, you know, one frame per five

808
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: seconds or something crazy. It was, it was it was

809
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: such a joke, right, this is the Democratic you know,

810
00:51:55,840 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 1: uh headquarters and they're using video technology from the nineteen eighties.

811
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: It's just the joke. Anyways. The flip side of this

812
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: that I think was really impressive is that you took

813
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: out an old team, you brought in, you put in

814
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: a new team in the case was potentially solved. What

815
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: that screams to me is how many other cases could

816
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: you do that too? Could you go back to the

817
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: Whitmer kidnapping case, which we know, you know, out of

818
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: the people that received depositions, indictments, whatever, they like, three

819
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: fourths of them were informants of the FBI. They actually

820
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: fed these guys the plan, the whole thing, the explosives,

821
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing. How about all of the Russia gate

822
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: cases or whatever it is. How many different cases has

823
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: the FBI been working on that if we were to

824
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: take off, take out the old people, and put in

825
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: a new group, that they would be solved pretty quickly. Now.

826
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: I think the other problem that we're definitely facing and

827
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: is what you know, I think we've seen. There was

828
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: a great interview with what's Darmy, I forget what her

829
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: name is. She was she's running the Civil Rights Department

830
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice, and in a big interview

831
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: that she gave I think it was with Tucker last

832
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: year or the beginning of the term, she was saying that, like,

833
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: they had like four hundred lawyers, and as soon as

834
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: she came to office, half of them left, like quit

835
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,280
Speaker 1: two hundred plus attorneys quit out of the Civil Rights Division.

836
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: And these people had been there for twenty thirty years, Right,

837
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: nobody leaves these jobs, but they left because of you know,

838
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: they didn't want to be called out on what their

839
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: discrepancies or inefficiencies or the political ideologies were playing a

840
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: role in their caseloads well. As a result, I think

841
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: of a complete lack of a number of lawyers to

842
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,919
Speaker 1: prosecute these with investigators. We have a lack of investigators,

843
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 1: lack of lawyers. Steven Miller came out this week too

844
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: and basically put out a call uh to everybody saying, hey, uh,

845
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: we need lawyers, come and join the fight. Uh. This

846
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: is he said, calling all patriotic loaders, remote and part

847
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: time positions available. And this was put out by Homeland Security.

848
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: Thank you for putting that up. And uh, if you're

849
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: a legal professor, joined an Apartment of Justice as a

850
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: deportation judge to preside over cases and determine whether an

851
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: alien must stay or leave the nation. So not only

852
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: are you going to get this flood of attorneys for

853
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: deportation cases, but hopefully you get them for all these

854
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: other you know, investigative opportunities to prosecute these cases on

855
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: these bigger, these bigger rico or conspiratorial cases. All right,

856
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: So the last thing I want to address, excuse me,

857
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: is uh, Michael the famous Michael Berry. If you remember

858
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: the what was the movie, uh about the two thousand

859
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: and eight Big short, right, and who was it that

860
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: played him? It was a Backers, a Christian Bale, right,

861
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: so awesome, sitting in his room waiting for it to drop,

862
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: playing things going. That's he's my favorite character in that movie. Well,

863
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 1: obviously he you know, made it billions of dollars from

864
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: shorting that whole thing. Well, he just posted, uh, basically

865
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: saying I am out of going, I am leaving the

866
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: the stock market because of well, let me just let me,

867
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: let me just read to you what it's done.

868
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:54,240
Speaker 2: You're gonna pull it up, all right, Sandra unchained, dude,

869
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 2: let's see.

870
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: So in his final investor letter, he contained one sentence

871
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: that should terrify every fund mentor capital banker and policymaker.

872
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: And on this, and I'm quoting this guy, Shankra, I

873
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 1: see him Pereira's he posted this. He said, quote, my

874
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: estimation of value in securities is not now and has

875
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: not been for some time, in sync with the markets.

876
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: This is not a crash prediction. This is a death certificate.

877
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: The numbers nobody will tell you. Passive index funds now

878
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: control fifty two percent of all US fund assets fifteen

879
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: point four trillion dollars. Let me repeat that. Passive index

880
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: funds now control fifty two percent of all US fund

881
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: assets fifteen point four trillion dollars. Blackrock, Vanguard, and State

882
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: Street collectively manage twenty five million dollars of those assets.

883
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: They own dominant stakes in virtually every public company in America.

884
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: They analyze nothing. Every dollar falling into an S and

885
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: P five hundred ETF automatically allocates thirty five cents to

886
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: seven stocks, not because someone studied the balance sheet, because

887
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: that is their index weight. The algorithm cannot read an

888
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: earnings report. The algorithm cannot process overvaluation. The algorithm simply

889
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: replicates the death spiral. Passive buying increases prices. Higher prices

890
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: increase index weights. Higher weights attract more passive buying. The

891
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: feed debt loop operates completely independent of whether any business

892
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: or worth what the market claims. The marginal buyer of

893
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: America in equities is no longer an analyst with conviction.

894
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: It is a target date fund receiving its bi weekly

895
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: paycheck allocation. The buyer has no opinion. The buyer will

896
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: never sell the consequence price discovery. The mechanism has allocated

897
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: capital for two centuries has been structurally disabled. The most

898
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: successful short seller in modern history looked, and this is

899
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: after That's the end of the quote. The most successful

900
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: short seller modern history looked at these numbers and concluded

901
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: the fundamental analysis no longer converts the returns. He did

902
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: not predict collapse. He diagnosed something worse. The market still exists.

903
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: The marker no longer thinks and posted a story on

904
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: substack that he wrote, and you can find that if

905
00:58:47,400 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: you want under at Shanaka eighty six. Yeah. Anyways, so

906
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: now I always know what people say, obviously, you know,

907
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: And I think we should probably bring Bryce back on

908
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: to kind of now analyze that a little bit for sure.

909
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: Do you go out and sell all your ETFs? Hell no,

910
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: you don't do that, right. Do you go out and

911
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: put all your money in gold or put it all

912
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: in bitcoin? Probably not. Bitcoin's not doing great right now either,

913
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: Although Jordi would disagree with me. He thinks it's good.

914
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: It's always the stance. But what I am saying is

915
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,959
Speaker 1: that when you there's something that I believe is true

916
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: in this and that, and when you wait forty percent

917
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: of your market return in seven stocks that are affiliated

918
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: with AI. You know, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't

919
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't work, right. There has to be back to

920
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: a place where you know, it's it's more of a

921
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: a The market's moving from one company to another, investing

922
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: in companies that have strong balance sheets, that are making

923
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: good returns, that are in growth trajectory, that are developing

924
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: foreign markets. Right, there's a greater extent of the market

925
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 1: that has disappeared, like he says, and our you know,

926
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: I know other economists that believe that as well too.

927
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: So what do you do as an investor? I think

928
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: you take a step back, You call your financial advisor,

929
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: you get their analysis of what's taking place and what's happening.

930
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: Is there a potential downturn, recession, depression on the horizon,

931
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: And have a legit conversation with your financial advisor whomever

932
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: you follow their financial advice, and really look at at

933
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: what this guy's saying. Obviously is super smart, but again

934
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: it's just one man's opinion, and I think you need

935
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,919
Speaker 1: to do the deep dive yourself.

936
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 2: I think that's the big message that he says is this, Yeah, yeah,

937
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 2: I was gonna say. I think the big message is

938
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 2: that he's not telling you to do anything right now,

939
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 2: at least my take from it. I think he is

940
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 2: saying that you need to think for yourself. You need

941
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 2: to start thinking and analyzing this for yourself. Because the market,

942
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 2: a free market, will think accurately because of the price

943
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 2: discovery mechanism you talked about, it'll figure out where to

944
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 2: put value itself invisible hand, all of that. But what

945
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 2: he's trying to say is that we have stopped thinking

946
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 2: in the market because of these automated flows, these automated

947
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 2: ETFs and things like that. And so just do your research,

948
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 2: think for yourself, talk to your financial advisor, and don't

949
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 2: blindly believe the traditional wisdom. I think is what he's saying.

950
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: Amen to that, Amen to that. All right, that's it, man.

951
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: We can review a lot. Again. I'm going to continue

952
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: to keep my eyes on this, and once again, my

953
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: mission is to bring some bigger, more significant context to

954
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: these things that are taking place in a world, not

955
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: to be so one sided or to see a simple

956
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: tweet and then go down that rabbit hole. But as

957
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: I just did in that one case, but I thought

958
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: it was fascinating that guy who shorted the last collapse

959
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: is giving a heads up. We'll say that again next week.

960
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: I got we got two huge bangers that we're going

961
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: to drop. These are the biggest two stories I think

962
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,800
