1 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show, and it is only 2 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: the second hour. We still have two hours left. We 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: got Boris Rifkin with history coming up about thirty minutes 4 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: from now. If you miss the first hour. Got a 5 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: little upset in the beginning. I'm not going to do 6 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: that again about the Republicans being weak. You can download 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: the whole thing on iHeart, Google, Spotify, and iTunes. Also, 8 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: Daniel Turner stepped in, got us a whole lot smarter 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: about oil and energy and where everything is coming from. 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: I have something a little sappy before I get to 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: everything else. I'm actually gonna get to some emails because 12 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: I'm way behind to night and whatnot. But this is 13 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: going to sound like I have a heart, and I 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: want to be clear that I do not. I am 15 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: not a good person, a good person at all. I 16 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: know this, I admit this. There's nothing I can do 17 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: about that. I'm unfeeling. There's no think inside, there's no 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: soul in here. But I don't like when old men 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: deliver my food. And this is what I mean by that. 20 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: It's not obviously that I have a problem with the 21 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: old man. I respect old man, and I guess this 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: is naive but I just have this picture of an 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,199 Speaker 1: old man, maybe sitting around with his wife. Maybe she's gone, 24 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: but maybe his kids are there, grandkids backyard. Maybe he's 25 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: smoking a pipe, playing some chess, going golfing. I don't know. 26 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe that's naive. I hate when it 27 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: happened to me. Yesterday we ordered pizza. Old man came up, 28 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: delivered it. And if it's just an old timer who 29 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: does it to keep busy, I get that. Actually had 30 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: a driver in Fort Worth a couple of weeks ago. 31 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: I went over to Fort Worth. He was an old 32 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: timer and we were just john back and forth things 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: and I asked him why he was doing it, and 34 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: he's like, oh no, I'm happy, I'm retired here. He 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: had build helicopters forever. He was clearly doing fine. He's like, 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: I just do this so I've someone to talk to. 37 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: That's not what I'm talking about. That that's that's fine. 38 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: I get that. I don't like it that an old 39 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: man has to deliver food. And I don't really don't 40 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: have anything else to say beyond that. I don't have 41 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: something I want to expand on. It's just it's been 42 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: eating at me and it really feels wrong when an 43 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: old man delivers food to me. It does. I don't 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: like it. There's something of it, Chris did that makes 45 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: sense at all? It didn't make sense. It feels good. 46 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: I don't even know why I felt the need to 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: unburden myself and get that off my chest. But I 48 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: do not like it. I do not enjoy it all. 49 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: Right back to where we are before I get to 50 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: emails here, we cut off Russian oil. As you heard 51 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: from Daniel Turner earlier. We get about three percent of 52 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: our oil from Russia. So that's not good considering we 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: were already all getting slaughtered at the pump. Our fearless 54 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: commander in chief got up and spoke today, and it 55 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: will make America a world leader manufacturing and exporting clean 56 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: energy technology of the future to countries all around the world. 57 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: This is the goal we should be racing toward. Okay man, Okay, 58 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: he went on. Today, I'm announcing the United States is 59 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: targeting the main artery of Russian's economy. We're banning all 60 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: imports of Russian oil and gas and energy. The decision 61 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: today is not without cost. Here at home, Putin's war 62 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: is already hurting American families of the gas pump. Since 63 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: Putin began his military build up in Ukrainian borders. Just 64 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: since then, the price of the gas of the pump 65 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: in America went up seventy five cents, and with this action, 66 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: it's going to go up further. It's simply not true 67 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production. 68 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: If you believe any of that, make sure you go 69 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: back and listen to Daniel Turner from our one where 70 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: he destroyed pays all of that. That is a bald 71 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: faced lie. And actually, now that I think about that, Chris, 72 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: what does that mean? A bald faced lie? No, it 73 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have a bald face. I actually have 74 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: used that word that termed my whole life. And I 75 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: don't know where it means, Chris, don't just make things up. 76 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: I can make things up. Do you think you could 77 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: look it up? Please find out what anyway, back to 78 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, this Biden administration has made a policy 79 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: of this is it is something to see the arrogance 80 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: out of these people. It is something to see so 81 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: cause a problem. Remember, prices were through the roof long 82 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: before Prutin never got to Ukraine cause a problem, Deny, 83 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: there's a problem. That's always Step two and step three 84 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: is hey, man, that's not my fault. It should motivate 85 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: us to accelerate the transition and clean energy. This is 86 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: a perspective examined our European ally share and the future 87 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: where together we can achieve greater independence, Lucy. Environmental regulations 88 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: are point back clean energy investment. Won't I mean explain, 89 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: won't will not lower energy prices for families, but transforming 90 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: our economy to run on electric vehicles powered by clean 91 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: energy with tax credits to help American family. Yeah, you 92 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: get the idea. It's all a bunch of lies. Remember something, 93 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: the Communists leading up to World War One, before there 94 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: was ever a World War One, and after World War 95 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: One broke out, the Communist movement was starting to spark 96 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: in the world. Obviously, you know it ended up blowing 97 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: up in Russia. But remember this World War One had 98 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: a level of carnage the world had never seen before. 99 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: We honestly don't think enough about World War One because 100 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: why well, it got superseded by World War Two where 101 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: everything got magnified above that. But before World War One, 102 00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: you didn't have millions dead from combat, Like, what did 103 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: you just No nation had ever seen these numbers before. 104 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: And while we were in the middle of watching carnage 105 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: like the world had never seen before in normal people, 106 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: people like you were watching in horror. The communists they 107 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: thought World War One was fantastic. They thought to themselves, 108 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: Oh nice, this is going to present us an opportunity 109 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: to take power. Right now, the normal person cannot afford 110 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: to live the way they have lived in this country. 111 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: I should just talk to the wife during the break. 112 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: We have an suv. It's eight years old now, so 113 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: it's now older, but it's not ancient, right, we have 114 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: an eight year old suv. Gotta have it because my 115 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: kids are huge and I'm huge. She just filled up. 116 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: It costs her one hundred dollars to fill up. Okay, 117 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: How are people supposed to live like that? And this 118 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: is not a person, She's not some person on the 119 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: road all day long. It's to this practice, then to 120 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: that practice, then to school that I mean, live in 121 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: that life that mothers live in this country. How we're 122 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: normal people supposed to afford that? And yet the Biden administration, 123 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: this is the most devastating thing. They're not looking at 124 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: that and saying to themselves, oh, dang, I feel bad 125 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: for that mom. Now she's not gonna make ends meet. 126 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: They're looking and saying, oh man, this is awesome. Oil 127 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: and gas is going down in flames. This is a 128 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: great opportunity to build more solar panels. I mean, let's 129 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: figure out how to make sure they don't blame mouse. Hey, 130 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: we'll just blame Putin. Let's tell him it was Putin's fault. 131 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: That's what we deal with right now in this country. 132 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: It's sick. They're out there saying it or and this 133 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: is my favorite, they're starting to do the let the 134 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: meat cake thing. You remember Dome from the other day. Oh, 135 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna drive electric vehicles. This system has decided that 136 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: that's just part of the messaging. Here's regime apologist Stephen 137 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: Colbert used to be a comedian. Russia has been hit 138 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: with a series of crippling sanctions, and it looks like 139 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: there's more to come, because the US and its European 140 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: allies are now discussing banning imports of Russian oil. Take 141 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: that potent. We're not going to buy our gas from 142 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: a war criminal. We're gonna buy it from the good guys, 143 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. But it's gonna cost. Since the invasion, oil 144 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: prices have skyrocketed. Today, the average gas price in America 145 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: hit an all time record high of over four dollars 146 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: per gallon. Okay, that stings, but a clean conscience is 147 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: worth a buck or two. I'm willing to pay. It's important. 148 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: It's important. I'm willing hold on, Chris before we let 149 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: him finish up. You have seven seconds to give me 150 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert's net worth seven seconds? How fast is the 151 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: internet in here? I'm gonna let him fish and pay 152 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: four dollars a gallon. Hell, I'll pay fifteen dollars a 153 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: gallon because I drive a Tesla. How much Chris, Stephen Colbert, 154 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: did you hear what he just said? It's all price 155 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: to pay for a clean conscience. I don't want to 156 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: hear about your dollar a gallon. Plus he drives a Tesla. 157 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: He has a clean conscience. What do you have, peasant? 158 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert's worth seventy five million dollars makes fifteen a year. 159 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: Chris says, yeah, that network TV money's big boy money. 160 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: Do you notice any parallels, By the way, do you 161 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: notice any parallels between what you're hearing right now with 162 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: gas prices and what you were told approximately two years 163 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: ago when coronavirus hit and they all decided you aren't essential, 164 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: and you aren't essential, and you should stay home. And 165 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: you remember what they all told us, Hey, quit whining 166 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: about your job. We're all in this together. Do you 167 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: remember being all in this together? I remember a bunch 168 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: of fat, rich celebrities going on Instagram putting out a 169 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: video saying, we're all in this together. We're in this together. No, no, no, jerk. 170 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: You're in a mansion with your private chef.

We are 174 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: not in this together, and we have a division in 175 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 1: this society. I swear on my life it is going 176 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: to lead to a French revolution if this stuff continues. 177 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: Suck it up, peasant, buy a tesla. Oh okay, yeah, 178 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: these people all right, I'm gonna get to some emails. 179 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: I forgot to get to emails.

You don't have to feel that way anymore. 190 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: Go get a hero gun and maybe you're into yourself 191 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: right now, Jesse, I hate guns.

Hero 193 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: gun is a non lethal gun. It shoots pepper balls 194 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: one hundred miles per hour. So that daughter of yours 195 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: you sent off to college who hates guns, get her 196 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: a hero gun. When these pepper balls hit, they cover 197 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: the person who got hit with him in this brutal 198 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: chemical pepper cloud might save her life. Go to hero 199 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty dot com and use the code Jesse, get 200 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: yourself some peace of mind, get your daughter some peace 201 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: of mind.

Oh and I have I 205 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: told you I have good news coming and I do. 206 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: But first, terrible news. Terrible news, Chris, guess what the 207 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: suits just hit me with during the break? What do 208 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: you care? This isn't going to affect you at all. 209 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: So get this. This is a radio show, right. Obviously, 210 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: I know I don't have an important job. I sit 211 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: and talking to one microphone. Truck drivers have an important job. 212 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: I don't have an important job. I realized that. But 213 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: people genuinely enjoy the show, which I find to be ridiculous. 214 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: But they do, And so all the suits are always 215 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: trying to find a new way for people to consume 216 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: the show. And I understand that I'm not one of 217 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: these super genius business types. I get that. Do whatever 218 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: you gotta do. It's fine, it's fine, I get it. 219 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: I get it. It's a business. It's not a charity. 220 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: It's a business. I totally get it. Guess what they 221 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: just hit me with, Chris. They want to put a 222 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: freaking camera in the radio studio. So people can watch 223 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: me do the radio show. Stop laughing, Chris, it's not funny. 224 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm so upset of it, partially because all right, I 225 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: guess it's confession time. And before we get to the 226 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: other good news, I guess it's confession time. I can't 227 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: dress like I don't. I don't have any sense of fashion. 228 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how to dress. And here's what's crazy. 229 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: It's a lot of people don't realize that because whenever 230 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: you see me in public, if I have to go 231 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: to public events, I've found basically one go to and 232 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: that's what I go to. You're gonna see me in 233 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: my cowboy boots obviously, and jeans and a button up 234 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: shirt and a sport coat, no tie. That's really my thing. 235 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: That's you see. I wear that every night on TV. 236 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: My TV shows on the first every night, nine pm 237 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: Eastern time. That's why I we're on TV. But as 238 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,239 Speaker 1: far as day to day goes, I can't dress myself. 239 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: And I need to explain. It's not as if I 240 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: don't want to be able to. I didn't used to. 241 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: Full disclosure, I never developed these skills when I was younger. 242 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: Because I know you're gonna find this shocking. I didn't care. 243 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: I kind of did it as a flippant you know, 244 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: you can't tell me what to do thing that one 245 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: year of college I went to after high school before 246 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: I joined the Marines, when I got a zero point 247 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: zero GPA. Yes, that's real. I used to go to 248 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: class all the time in my pajamas and that was 249 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: before like kids would do that. Why I feel like it? 250 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: And people would say to me, oh, Jesse, what about 251 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: what about kid girls or something like that, And I'd say, 252 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna dress for some woman. Fellas, by the way, 253 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: that's bad advice. Dressed nice, that's bad advice. Don't take 254 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: this as a but I'm telling you that's the genesis 255 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: of this. I never trained myself going up. I never 256 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: cared about dressing, and so to this day I can't 257 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: dress myself.

So now Boris Rifkin 295 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: with our continuing series on communism and the Soviet Union 296 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: and the history of communism. I know everyone geeks out 297 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: on that. One more big thing. We've been requesting a 298 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: machine gun sound to go with the soundboard. Remember I 299 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: never had a soundboard before they controlled everything, and now 300 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: they got me this new fancy studio and they put 301 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: all these soundboard sounds in there, like a pistol cock 302 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: and a pistol shot, and a rifle cock and a 303 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: rifle shot, and a canny bomb and a missile. We 304 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: obviously have the go to Friedo bandido. I yeah, yeah, yeah, 305 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: I am. I like vomit. We don't use that one often. 306 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: We have the Jersey girls Jamala's laugh of course, the fart. 307 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: You get the idea we have, we have. We have 308 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: a soundboard here. Chris has offered up a selection of 309 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: machine guns because we're missing them, and it's time. Drum 310 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: roll please, I do my own sound effects. Can you 311 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: can they hear that in the microphone? Chris, drum roll please? 312 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: It's time to choose our machine gun first, gatling gun. 313 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: I respect a gatling gun. I respect it. That's a no. 314 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you. I know this sounds sentimental. 315 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: It kind of bothers me that gatling guns were used 316 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: to slaughter other Americans, I mean North and South, mowing 317 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: down soldiers and ended. I don't. I don't like that 318 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: MG forty two. We have a moral quandary with the 319 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: MG forty two because it's probably the best sounding of 320 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: the machine guns. It is, however, what the Nazis used. 321 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: Oh wait, that's not the MG forty two. Oh oh wait, 322 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: I pressed the wrong button here. This that's sweet, all right, 323 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: we'll come back to that. The bar and clar in 324 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: case you don't know what that means. The bar is 325 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: the Browning automatic rifle. This saved a lot of lives 326 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: and took a lot of lives during World War Two. 327 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: Those Marines and Army guys you saw taken on Japanese 328 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: soldiers in the Pacific lots of times, big old bar 329 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: in their hands.

He's the one who's been 339 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: joining us every single Tuesday at this time, giving us 340 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: kind of a chronological walk through the beginning of the 341 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: bullshit Revolution and Lenin and communism and Stalin and whatnot. 342 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: Something I think I'm gonna drop on Boris right now? 343 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: Is Boris? I know you have all kinds of history 344 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: and knowledge in this Russia Ukraine situation. Once we geek 345 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: out on communism here for a segment, you want to 346 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: come back and tell us your thoughts on current events. Sure, 347 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: it would love to him perfect, All right, now, let's 348 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: set that aside then for a moment. Last week we 349 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: were talking about Stalin and the Great Purge and kind 350 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: of the last thing I want you to hit on 351 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to Stalin is the Great Terror. The 352 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: people have heard the word, I don't think they understand 353 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: exactly what it entailed. I don't think they understand what 354 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: it meant for places like Ukraine and other places. What 355 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: was the Great Terror? Well, it was really a combination 356 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: of different terrors that went in stages. It really wasn't one. 357 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: It was a number of different things that were put 358 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: under one umbrella essentially. So it began with the first 359 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: five year plan that he launched in nineteen twenty eight, 360 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: and we talked touched on that in the last segment 361 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: last week, to get the green from the peasants, to 362 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: get our currency for rapid industrialization and militarization, and that 363 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: led to his policy of expelling and murdering the coolocks 364 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: and collective eyed farming, which led to famines across the country. 365 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: That should also, I think, be the seenest part of 366 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: the Great Terror, although often what you're told to connect 367 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: associate that with is what happened in the later part 368 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: of the nineteen thirties with the show trials and the 369 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: political opponents within the Communist Party that Stalin had liquidated 370 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: his old rivals, people who had at one point come 371 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: to power alongside, and then there was a huge purge 372 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: at the Soviet military, the Red Army at the time, 373 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: most of its high command, the majority of its marshals, 374 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: those were the most senior ranking commanders in the army 375 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: were executed, most of its generals, most of its mid 376 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: level officers. So essentially you had an army that, by 377 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty nine, on the eve of the Second World War, 378 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 1: was for all intents and purposes. Death made it to 379 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: such an extent that one of the later very famous 380 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: marshals of World War Two commented that had it not 381 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: been for nineteen thirty seven and nineteen thirty eight, the 382 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: purchase of the army during those two years, very likely 383 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: there might not have even been in nineteen forty one, 384 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: meaning a German invasion of the Soviet Union at all. 385 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: That was the extent to which Stalin decimated the Red Army. 386 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: So there were a number of these political, military, and 387 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: wider social purchases. Okay, I want to focus for a moment, 388 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: if you don't mind on the wider social because while 389 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: it's sick and it weakens a country and it's wrong, 390 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: I understand someone like Stalin saying, hey, let's get rid 391 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: of this general. He might challenge me, let's get rid 392 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: of this political operative, he might challenge me. But when 393 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: I hear stories like the NKVD being assigned regions and 394 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: being given quotas for how many people they have to murder, 395 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: that seems odd. I mean even for communists. It's just 396 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: it's almost like murder just for murder's sake? Was it? 397 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: What was it? Right? I think it was the combination 398 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: of a Stalin's own sociopathy and his own deep seated 399 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: fear and paranoia and hatred of wider Soviet society. It 400 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: also had to do with the fear that his regime 401 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: engendered in society of the whole. In the end, KBD 402 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: and all these officials who were eager to, you know, 403 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: be the last ones to not be the last ones 404 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: to stop clapping. And even on a personal note, my 405 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: own family was caught up in this bulldozer. Sadly, my 406 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: own great grandfather was arrested, tried, quote unquote, and executed 407 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: by an ENKBD Troyka firing squad. So our family sadly 408 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: didn't escape from the savagery of that era. And my grandfather, 409 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: his son was you know, designated an enemy of the people, 410 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: and notwithstanding that he fought in World War Two, volunteered 411 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it. So and he couldn't 412 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: comment on how his father died, and that whole period 413 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: in the circumstances, so it was really a pervasive environment 414 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: of complete terror, to the point that there were you know, 415 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: two to three informants per person in the country. Nobody 416 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: trusted anyone. And then, of course, decades later you found 417 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: out that your relatives, your closest friends, your work colleagues 418 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: were all you know, a spying on you and basically 419 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: giving testimony to the NKVD, and too the authorities behind 420 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: your back and people of course were you know, that 421 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: led to major convulsions in Soviet society in the eighties, 422 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: especially when this began to come out. Boris, you brought 423 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: it up, and I hate to bring up something that 424 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: obviously is still painful. I can't imagine, but you brought 425 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: up quote unquote tried is what you said. Would you 426 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: explain to people who don't know, they don't have your 427 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: depth of knowledge, what were these trials like? Because they 428 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: did have trials. I mean it was the relatively modern era. 429 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 1: There are pictures and letters and things like that, so 430 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: they did have trials. What would a trial have been 431 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: like back then? Well, well, these wouldn't These weren't those 432 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: famous show trials of the late nineteen thirties that people 433 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: are familiar with, the ones that you know were often done. 434 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 1: In this case, it was still done often under torture. 435 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: But you know that lasted days or weeks that were 436 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: well publicized and reported on, and you know examples of 437 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: senior officials or military leaders. Often these lasted literally fifteen 438 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes. I mean it was almost like you know, 439 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: summary execution by military court martial in the field. And 440 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: very often, as you correctly pointed out, there were quotas 441 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: that the local n KVD branches officials needed to meet 442 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: and they tried to feed themselves outperform the quotas that 443 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: they were given, and so they tended to want to 444 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: execute more people than they otherwise needed to execute. And 445 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: then from above they were urged to execute more people 446 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: and to you know, be more diligent what they were doing, 447 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: so to speak. And so these typically lasted. You know, 448 00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: you were arrested, knock on the door, your family was 449 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: just notified that you you know, that you didn't have 450 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: a right of correspondence with them. Nobody knew your whereabouts 451 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: and nobody knew what happened to you. You You were just 452 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: basically presumed dead. And then decades later, in my great 453 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: grandfather's case, when we my family was able to access 454 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: the file, it basically was a twenty four hour procedure 455 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: between arrest, the trial, the sentence that was then written in, 456 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: and the execution. So this happened sadly, especially when it 457 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: came to more isolated parts of the Soviet Union, outside 458 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: of the major cities where fewer people were paying attention. 459 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: We weren't talking about very long intervals with these trials. 460 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: Speaking with Boris Rifkin, who comes on every single Tuesday 461 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: at this time, given us real history of what communism 462 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: actually looks like on the ground you just heard it 463 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: right there. All right, let's fast forward to the end 464 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: of Lenin. You mentioned last week that the wolves sounded 465 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: like the wolves were starting RBS Stalin. It sounded like 466 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: the wolves were starting this surround Stalin towards the end 467 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: of his life, or at least that's what I think 468 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: you indicated it from wrong. Please tell me, but please 469 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: explain what was happening with the power in the Soviet 470 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: Union towards the end of Stalin. Well towards the end 471 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 1: of Stalin, he had decided that it was time to 472 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: wipe out all the witnesses, all the people that he 473 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: had elevated within the party and surrounded him and had 474 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: reached senior leadership positions within the party. As he recognized 475 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: that his health was deteriorating. He didn't know how long 476 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: he would have to live, and he didn't want to 477 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: leave anyone behind who would in any way either post 478 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: directly a threat to him or would then be able 479 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: to expose what he was doing. And he had begun 480 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: to mark out senior figures in the party for a 481 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: final purge by name, and he'd begun doing that near 482 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: the end of nineteen fifty two. In October, there was 483 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: a party meeting of the Central Committee and he started 484 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: to single individuals out. And he died a few months 485 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: later in March of nineteen fifty three. And at this point, 486 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: in like the death of Stalin on film, that sort 487 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: of way impuned this to some extent. But there is 488 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: a pretty convincing body of evidence that those individuals who 489 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: he marked out decided, not knowing exactly what their fate 490 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: would be, decided to act first to cut them off 491 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: at the past effectively and facilitate his demise. And I 492 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: think at this point it's a few people really believe 493 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: that he died of natural causes. Boris Rifken, you are 494 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: a wealth of knowledge, and because you are and know 495 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: this region, I'm actually going to ask you if you 496 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: don't mind to stay and give us some actual knowledge 497 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: about current events over there. Do you mind that? Absolutely? 498 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: Boris Rifkin's wanted to be come right back and join 499 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: us and give us some knowledge on Ukraine, Russia, what's 500 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: going on right now. I want to read this email 501 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: real quick though. I love this. Hi Jesse, you always 502 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: say send me your love, your hate, your death threats. 503 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: On a completely separate topic. Mantis X is making me 504 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: a hell of a good shot. I am in an 505 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: industry that's been subsidized by the Federal Reserve over the 506 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: last two years. I'm a mortgage banker. The low rates 507 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: have kept me insane busy, and I've not been to 508 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: the range in almost two years. To completely honest, I 509 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: was never much of a marksman, even when I shot regularly. However, 510 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: I purchased a mantis X on your recommendation about a 511 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: month ago and have been practicing almost every morning since. 512 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: He says just ten minutes. I finally made it to 513 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: the range last week and shot better than I have 514 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: ever shot in my life. He says you better watch 515 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: your back, but he put a smiley face on there, 516 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: says I can say his name. His name is Bruce. 517 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: Go to mantis x dot com and get one right now. 518 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: You attach it to whatever weapon you want.

The Jesse Kelly Show. Now it is 523 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show, and we are back with my 524 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: friend Boris Rifkin, who generally comes on every Tuesday and 525 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: gives us just a long history on communism in the 526 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: Soviet Union and makes us smarter. But since he is 527 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: well familiar with the area and we in general are not, 528 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: I need to open the floor up for Boris really 529 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: quickly to his thoughts on Ukraine Russia. Boris, there's so 530 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: much information and bad information, and people are cheering for Ukraine, 531 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: but they don't know what to think. What are your 532 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: thoughts on it? You're the one with a history and 533 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: the knowledge there. Well, basically, Ukraine is fighting a patriotic 534 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: war for all intents and purposes, and that was not 535 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: what Putin and the Russians had intended that they would 536 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: be fighting. And at the core of it is Putin's 537 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: putin his vision of what Ukraine is, what Russia is, 538 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: what Russia should be, how the two of them should 539 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: basically be united in one federal union state where Russia 540 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: would be the senior tree, together with Belarus and maybe 541 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: a couple of other former Soviet republics. And his complete 542 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: misunderstanding of Ukraine and Ukrainian society and Ukrainian politics, and 543 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: deep personal resentments and contempt that has built up in 544 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: Putin and those in his inner circle and the Security 545 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: Council in Russia that effectively administers and governs the country 546 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes, and has for a number 547 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: of years about Ukraine, and it stays so a lot 548 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: of what you are hearing that's being commented on about 549 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: Ukraine being in NATO or not in NATO, or in 550 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: the EU, or who it's going to be aligned with, 551 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: and you know, these separatist republics and this and that 552 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: to a large extent, that really diminishes in mind you 553 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: Putin's own ideological fixation on Ukraine and desire to ensure 554 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: that it takes instruction from Russia one way or the other, 555 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: either by being controlled directly by Russia or by having 556 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: his man in kievs the capital in Ukraine governing the 557 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: country taking orders from Moscow, which was what happened in 558 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen when you had that famous Maidan Ukrainian popular 559 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: uprising that led to the then president Yanokovich, who was 560 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: very pro Russian, being forced out and fled to Russian 561 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: has been protected by Putin ever since. Putin actually just 562 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: wheeled them out recently to give a statement urging the 563 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: Ukrainians to surrender and accept you do everything they could 564 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: to end the fighting quickly and so, and he still 565 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: has visions of reinstalling him or somebody like him back 566 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: into the presidential office in kievs. So that really is 567 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,719 Speaker 1: the kind of general nutshell of what's going on. And 568 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: I think that on our end, in the US in particular, 569 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: we tend to not, as you said, not understanding the 570 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: nuances and the weeds and knowing the history and getting 571 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,959 Speaker 1: into a kind of ideological focus of this, of the 572 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: motivations of the different parties. We tend to make it 573 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: easier for ourselves to try to reframe this as being 574 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: about NATO or about something that's easier for us to 575 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: understand and for us to then tackle with the tackle 576 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: as a policy matter. And I think that's very oversimplified. 577 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: So basically, as a result, there's no easy way out 578 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: of this. There's no clear off ramp. There's no magic 579 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: bullet that Ukrainians can offer to get Putin off their backs, 580 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: because it's a much deeper problem. Okay, So if there's 581 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: no if there's no off ramp, and Putin has to 582 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: take over this country or I'm assuming he dies, probably 583 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: alsted from power, but I mean it is Russia. Let's 584 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: just assume he dies in the end of this. What's 585 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: to stop this guy from flat out flattening Kiev, you know, 586 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: flattening other major cities there, slaughtering millions. What's to stop 587 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: him from doing it? I will be honest with you, 588 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: My overwhelming feeling is I'm concerned that we're going to 589 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 1: see mass death there. I mean, like a big bomb 590 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: of some kind going off in a civilian population. What's 591 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: to stop him from that? Well, let's also take a 592 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: quick step back. So what did he initially want? How 593 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: did he initially very quickly see this playing out? Originally, operationally, 594 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 1: he thought that this would be over in two maximum 595 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: four days. And that's why our intelligence agencies, our estimates 596 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: were coming out, you know, Kiv might be taken in 597 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: ninety six hours. We had a lot of those in 598 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 1: the days, in a week or so before the invasion happened, 599 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: and a lot of that was driven by this that 600 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: the Russians really believed. Putin personally believed, and there were 601 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: maybe two other people from the sources that I follow 602 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: in Russia that made the final decision, and Putin actually 603 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: decided to invade from again those sources near the end 604 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: of January. So a lot of what we were seeing 605 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 1: at the beginning of February was in my view kind 606 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: of smoke and mirrors. And he thought that this would 607 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: be over very quickly. A couple of cities, Kiv would 608 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: be captured in a couple of days with airborne special 609 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: forces units. For the most part, the government would flee. 610 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: Zelenski was he didn't really take him seriously. He was 611 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: surrounded by entertainers and like this wasn't somebody he really 612 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: respected all that much. And he also thought that the 613 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: speaking part of Ukraine, in the center and eastern part 614 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: of the country would flock to the Russians, that they 615 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: were waiting to be liberated from this gang as he 616 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: keeps calling them of neo Nazis and nationalists and all 617 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: the rest. That didn't happen, and instead you have this 618 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: huge unification of the entire Ukrainian population against the Russians, 619 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: including especially in these Russian speaking cities. That Putin is now, 620 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: as you said, reducing to rubble and devastating. So to 621 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: your question, I agree that he's now. If Putin is 622 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: a tactical thinker, not so much a strategic thinker, he 623 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: kind of adjusts as circumstances change. So I think he's 624 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: going to double down and escalate. He's already begun doing that. 625 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 1: I think that unless he gets terms which are utterly 626 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: humiliating on the part of the Ukraine, and unless we 627 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: basically completely back off. He's now so irate about the 628 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: original plan falling apart, he's wanting he's going to look 629 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 1: to inflict as much damage as possible, maybe to set 630 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: up for the next round, or maybe just out of 631 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: a desire for some for vengeance and anger at the 632 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: fact that he wasn't given the reception that he thought 633 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 1: he would be given that. I agree that there is 634 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: really nothing stopping him from trying to do that, and 635 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: I would say one other thing that there is a 636 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: non zero chance that he may even consider contemplate using 637 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. And that comes from Russian 638 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: commentators who like follow for not official Kremlin people or 639 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: tied to the Kremlin, but people who are not propagandists, 640 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: but people who are sensible, level headed analysts paid to 641 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: do this for a living to assess what Prutent is 642 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: thinking and not, and they're now saying there is a 643 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: non zero chance that Prutin is contemplating going that far, 644 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: not saying he will, but that he's open to the 645 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: possibility of potentially doing that or essentially resorting to what 646 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: he did in a letto. What you were centially referring 647 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: to the leveling cities. I think there's a real chance 648 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: that he'll do that. Good grief, brest Rifkin, Dude, thank you. 649 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: I should have given you a heads up ahead of time. 650 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,720 Speaker 1: Thanks for giving us all this knowledge and two segments tonight. 651 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: I just really wanted your point of view on this 652 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: much appreciated my brother anytime.
