1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Of stroy are enslave the Japanese people, but only surrender 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: can prevent the kind of ruin which they have seen 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: come to Germany as a result of continued useless resistance. 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: Would have been sooner, but I guess their security arrangements 5 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 2: that unfortunately people have to make. President Putin, I believe, 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: wants to see peace and Zelinski wants to see peace. 7 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 3: Trump says Putin wants to see peace. Of course, if 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: Putin really did want peace, he could call off his 9 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 3: deadly war at any moment. But he hasn't, and that's 10 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 3: because Trump revealed what Putin wants in exchange for stopping 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 3: the bloodshed. 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: You're looking at territory that's been fought over for three 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: and a half years with you know, a lot of 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 2: Russians have died, a lot of Ukrainians have died, So 15 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: we're looking at that, but we're actually looking to get 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: some back and some swapping. 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 3: Let's clear here though, that is swapping Ukrainian sovereign territory 18 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 3: seized by Russia by force, displacing countless Ukrainians and looking cities, 19 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: leaving cities looking like that. They're killing an estimated thirteen 20 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 3: thousand civilians according to the the UN now A source 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 3: tell CNN that Putin and Trump's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 3: discussed an end of the fighting if Ukraine were to 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: see control of all of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions 24 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 3: in eastern Ukraine, land mostly under Russian control, as well 25 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: as Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed back in twenty fourteen. 26 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: As for Putin, he has never been shy when it 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 3: comes to what his true intentions are. When it comes 28 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 3: to Ukraine. 29 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 4: Russia isn't capturing territory. We are returning what's rightfully ours. 30 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 5: After Hiroshima, Tokyo wondered when the next dot mbomb would pull. 31 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 5: They did not wonder long because the President delivered an automatum, 32 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 5: surrender or face complete destruction. The Japanese ignored the automatum. 33 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 5: It was evident that atomic power to break the enemy 34 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 5: must become. 35 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 6: The Tale of two cities. 36 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 5: Nagasaki was selected to become target city number two, exactly 37 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 5: three days after Hiroshima. A B twenty nine set out 38 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 5: for Nagasaki. Instructions were precise to the north Japan's greatest 39 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 5: torpedo plant. To the south, steel and arms works were 40 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 5: located in the heart of the city. The bomb was 41 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 5: aimed midway between the two plants to cause greatest possible damage. 42 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 4: Because the plants were. 43 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 5: Located in a valley, surrounding hills shielded most residential areas 44 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 5: and concentrated the damage on the industrial section. At ten 45 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 5: fifty eighth the morning of August ninth, the bomb was 46 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 5: exploded above the city and in the towering mushroom Japan 47 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 5: could read its doom. This was more than a routine bombing. 48 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 5: It was the funeral empire of an aggressor nation. The 49 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 5: bomb had been purposely exploded high so that the greatest 50 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 5: part of its radioactive material was dissipated in the stratosphere. 51 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 7: Matthew, can you take us through Israel's plan and give 52 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 7: us a sense of the reception it's been met with 53 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 7: from the international community. 54 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, we don't have all the details of the plan. 55 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 8: I mean, what we do know is that it's supposed 56 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 8: to get underway on October the seventh. That date was 57 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 8: picked on purpose, of course, to coincide with the two 58 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 8: years since the massacres led by Hamas in southern Israel. 59 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 8: We know that it's going to involve the mass movement 60 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 8: of people from Gaza City, which is the most densely 61 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 8: populated area of the Gaza Strip, still not under full 62 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 8: Israeli military control, moved them out to the south of 63 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 8: Gaza where they're going to set up humanitarian sort of 64 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 8: evacuation center where people can get supposedly some kind of 65 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 8: humanitarian aid there, which Israel says it will provide, and 66 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 8: it would clear the way in Gaza City. This is 67 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 8: the theory for Israel's military to attack and destroy ha 68 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 8: Mass finally, after nearly two years of trying to do that. 69 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 8: I guess the problem is that from a Palastini humanitarian 70 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 8: point of view, you know, the cure for the disease 71 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 8: is as bad as the disease itself. It's going to 72 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 8: involve I expect, and everybody expects a great deal of 73 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 8: displacement of Palestine people, many of whom have been displaced 74 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 8: many times before. It's going to mean no humanitarian aid 75 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 8: for people who stay in Gaza City, and it's probably 76 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 8: going to mean a lot more deaths as well. We've 77 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 8: seen tens of thousands of people killed so far. That's 78 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 8: likely to continue from an Israeli point of view, and 79 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 8: the vast majority of Israelis, remember, are totally against this plan. 80 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 8: They see this as a potentially death sentence for the 81 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 8: hostages that are still being held inside the Gaza strip. 82 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 8: There are twenty of them who are still believed to 83 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 8: be alive, fifty in total, but twenty still believe to 84 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 8: be alive. And of course, the country is utterly exhausted 85 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 8: after nearly two years of constant wars in Gaza, in Lebanon, 86 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 8: in Syria, or recently in Iran as well, and they 87 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 8: just want the country to return to some kind of normality. 88 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 8: There's only one real group in Israel that wants this, 89 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 8: and that's the hard line right wing coalition partners of 90 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 8: Benjamin Ettina, who Israeli Prime Minister. They've been pushing hard 91 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 8: for a full occupation of Gaza for a long time now. 92 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 8: They want to build Jewish settlements there. They're saying that publicly. 93 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 8: And you know, if they leave, if Netaniaou loses their support, 94 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 8: his government could fall. And so this is being seen 95 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 8: by many Israelis as a political move rather than a 96 00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 8: necessary one. 97 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 4: Some swapping of territories to the betterment of both, referring 98 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 4: obviously to Russia and Ukraine. 99 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 3: What's going on here, where's this headhead? 100 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 4: The President's now going to decide who gets what? 101 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 9: Well, this is like, I mean, the idea that somehow 102 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 9: Donald Trump is at the center of geopolitical conflicts and 103 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,239 Speaker 9: is the person that is now apparently, according to reporting, 104 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 9: that we have this evening, going to be sitting down 105 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 9: with Vladimir Putin to hash out an agreement over Ukraine 106 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 9: somewhere in Alaska. I mean, this is pretty much a 107 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 9: nightmare from any foreign policy vantage point. The fact that 108 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 9: the White House is even announcing that the President may 109 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 9: meet with Putin without any concessions that we've been told 110 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 9: of is like a huge legitimization of a dictator that, 111 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 9: for a long time, several decades, has been one of 112 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 9: our number one geopolitical adversaries. So, like just off the 113 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 9: bat staff, it's a disaster. And the idea that somehow 114 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 9: Donald Trump is going to be operating without Zelenski and 115 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 9: perhaps without Zelenski's buy in and the best interests of 116 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 9: the Ukrainian people is nightmaragh. Not just for the people 117 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 9: who have suffered for this hellish war, but it's also 118 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 9: a huge line in the sand for Europe. And it's 119 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 9: what it means to be a democracy in the West, 120 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 9: and the age of Trump, which is to say, you 121 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 9: can get sold up the river quite easily without any 122 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 9: guarantees of your survival if it serves the ego of 123 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 9: the president of the United States. I mean, I cannot 124 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 9: underscore enough how dangerous and treacherous all of this is, 125 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 9: and the idea that Trump, who has never really had 126 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 9: a plan for anything at see the first conversation this hour, 127 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 9: is going to approach this in the sort of slap dash, 128 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 9: shoot from the hit manner he approaches everything else. Is 129 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 9: you know, it's a desperate hour for not just Ukraine, 130 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 9: but like I said, I think the entire global community 131 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 9: that values liberal democracy. 132 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 5: From the air, the skeletons of the Mitsubishi plants made 133 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 5: evident that Nagasaki's war making power or was totally destroyed 134 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 5: or the valley area of little more than three square 135 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 5: miles blast and fire reduced the industrial plants and surrounding 136 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 5: buildings to blackened rubble. The Mitsubishi steel and arms works 137 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 5: extended almost a mile in length before the blast. These 138 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 5: were modern buildings constructed like our own American factories. Closer 139 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 5: examination of the ruins shows the same complete destruction that 140 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 5: characterized the ruins of Hiroshima. Damage to equipment and machinery 141 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 5: used in the manufacture of naval rifles, AA guns and 142 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 5: heavy artillery was such that even if Japan had determined 143 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 5: to commit suicide by continuing resistance, she could not have 144 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 5: salvaged much from the ruins. 145 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 10: Well, that is throwing down the Goldland yet again to 146 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 10: Europe and elsewhere, and you know that is creating another 147 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 10: nightmare quite frankly, But can I just go back and 148 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 10: quickly talk about Trump and Putin because I spent years 149 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 10: of my life in the formers of it Union and 150 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 10: I still watch a lot of Russian television, and someone 151 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 10: should tell President Putin, sorry, sorry, President Trump, a terrible 152 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 10: slip there, President Trump. 153 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 11: That you know, on the Nike television shows in Moscow 154 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 11: in recent months, Virchia and things like that, they actually 155 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 11: discussed very openly the idea that actually Russia thinks it 156 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 11: should own Alaska. Russia has been incredibly expansionist in its 157 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 11: rhetoric in the last few months, and so the idea 158 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 11: of sitting down in Alaska, of all places, where people 159 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 11: have been saying on Russian TV shows like this, on 160 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 11: Russian television saying, you know, actually we think we should 161 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 11: take back Alaska. Shows just how either wilfully blind people 162 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 11: in the White House are to the mentality of the 163 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 11: Russian leadership right now, or they just don't care and 164 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 11: they're trying to strike a deal directly with Putin. 165 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 4: It's Saturday, the ninth of August, and the year of 166 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 4: Lord twenty twenty five, with wars and the rumors of 167 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 4: war about this is the eightieth anniversary of the commemoration 168 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 4: of the dropping of the second nuclear weapon. It was 169 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 4: dropped on Nagasaki. The Japanese has still refused to surrender. 170 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 4: We've got a very packed show today, but we're going 171 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 4: to start there and also about Russia and Gaza and 172 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 4: all of it. Dave Brett joins me right now. Even 173 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 4: as we speak, Steve Whitkoff, the President's envoy for all 174 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 4: of these deals, is meeting and I think has been 175 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 4: reported Abitha, a resort island off of Spain, with the 176 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 4: heads of Cutter and they're coming up right now with 177 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 4: a comprehensive plan that would be an alternative to the 178 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 4: gods occupation, which has essentially been, as we said, greeted 179 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 4: by the world. The Chief of staff of the IDF, 180 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 4: the Israeli Army, and the rest of the world as 181 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: maybe not the best idea in the world. We keep saying, 182 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,479 Speaker 4: as long as it's going to depend upon American involvement logistically, 183 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 4: which it will, it's a terrible idea. Also, the Russians 184 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 4: have put out their Titanic forces already trying to destroy 185 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 4: this historic meeting. Dare say I call it a summit. 186 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 4: The mainstream media won't call it that between Putin of 187 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 4: the KJU in Russia and President Donald Trump.

World War two is an example. As 269 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 4: wars go on because of deaths and destruction and people's 270 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 4: families being destroyed and friends being destroyed and home towns 271 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 4: being destroyed, that the natural human element of revenge and 272 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 4: vengeance takes over and that as particularly people and sides 273 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 4: dig in, these wars become wars of annihilation. This was 274 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 4: what World War II was and it reached a absolute 275 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 4: peak in the bombing of Germany and the destruction of 276 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 4: the Red Army in Germany, and also in the Pacific theater, 277 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 4: where the Japanese who started the war would not surrender, 278 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 4: led to the fire bombing of Tokyo by Curtis L. 279 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 4: May and then eventually to the use of tactical nuclear weapons. 280 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 4: This is the lesson for today, and this is the 281 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 4: big lesson in Ukraine. Remember, as we continue to say, 282 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 4: and the only people that really understand how to frame this, 283 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 4: this is much deadlier than the early years of the 284 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 4: Second World War, from nineteen thirty nine, the invasion of 285 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 4: Poland to all the way to the Rmark's Operation Barbarossa, 286 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 4: the invasion of Russian Actually I would go back and 287 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 4: even throw in the Asian part of the war Manchuria, 288 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 4: Nan King and all that, all the bloodshed there from 289 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 4: nineteen thirty five, I guests on you still wouldn't get 290 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 4: the bloodshed you've seen in the combination of Ukraine and 291 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 4: Gaza today. And this is why what President Trump is 292 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 4: trying to do is absolutely heroic. And you see right there, 293 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 4: particularly in that cold open Stephanie Rules showed last night 294 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 4: with Wagner and Jillian Tett absolutely losing it. How can Trump? 295 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 4: This is authoritarianism? How can you do this? He's trying 296 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 4: to bring these wars to a conclusion before they spend 297 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 4: even more out of control than they already are. And 298 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 4: in both situations, they're absolutely totally out of control. And 299 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 4: what President Trump's trying to do is absolutely heroic, right 300 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 4: And there's going to be some speed bumps, obviously, but 301 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 4: the world right now is totally against The Europeans there meeting, 302 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 4: they're trying to come up. There's titanic forces to try 303 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 4: to stop this. Particularly they don't want putin. They don't 304 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 4: want the Russian people and the American people to kind 305 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 4: of come together and think this thing through, particularly about 306 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 4: the Chinese Commanist Party. So the infiltration of the West. 307 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 4: You're going to see it all in all of its 308 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 4: glory between now in the fifteenth of August, I want 309 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 4: to bring in a dog star with doctor Bradley Thayer, 310 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 4: so frame this for us. Nagasaki, the Japanese got hit 311 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 4: by a nuclear weapon in Hiroshima and still would not surrender. 312 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 4: We had to go and drop the second nuclear weapon 313 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 4: a couple of days later, and still they would not surrender. 314 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 4: It go back in time and tell us put the 315 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 4: framing around this, sir, Well. 316 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 6: Steve, as you said, it's very hard to end wars. 317 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 14: It's very hard in particular to end great power wars 318 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 14: because of the sacrifices the blood price, as Cloudswitz put 319 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 14: it right, in a great power war, the blood price 320 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 14: is going to be very high, So it makes it 321 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 14: very difficult to end these conflicts once they've started. So 322 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 14: what Nagasaki did and why it's so significant, is after Hiroshima, 323 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 14: the second atomic bombing demonstrated the US had this horrific weapon, 324 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 14: the nuclear strategist Bernard Brody would later call the absolute weapon, 325 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 14: and the Japanese didn't know how many we had, and 326 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 14: reality we had about one more that we could have 327 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 14: put together really by the end of the month. So 328 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 14: the Japanese didn't know how long this was going to 329 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 14: go on, and that was critical for convincing the emperor 330 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 14: to intervene and break the deadlock. The Japanese cabinet was broken, 331 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 14: was divided between a pro war faction and a pro 332 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 14: peace faction, that is, those who wanted to end the war, 333 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 14: and the Emperor came down on the side of the 334 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 14: pro peace faction, and that broke the deadlock once the 335 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 14: Emperor conveyed his as will. Very hard for the emperor 336 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 14: to do that, and even when the Emperor did come down, 337 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 14: there was an attempted coup by the Japanese Army, a 338 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 14: small faction within it which tried to seize the broadcast 339 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 14: recording the night of August fourteenth and fifteenth, so that 340 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 14: the Emperor's peace message surrender message could not have been 341 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 14: broadcast on August fifteenth, as in fact it actually was. 342 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 14: So the Japanese, of course, were die hard and so 343 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 14: many of them did not want to end the conflict. 344 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 14: It took the Emperor's intervention, and as you know, Steve, 345 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 14: it's for the first time that you happen these people 346 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 14: heard the Emperor's voice. 347 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 6: Ever to actually end that conflict. 348 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 14: And of course it was of course very important that 349 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 14: he did end it, because it had avoided the deaths 350 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 14: of so many Americans and the millions of Japanese who 351 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 14: would have died as a consequence of it, as well 352 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 14: as of course it kept the Soviets out of Japan 353 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 14: because the Soviets would have invaded northern Japan had the 354 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 14: war gone on, and Japan would have ended up divided 355 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 14: into a communist north and a free democratic south, as 356 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 14: Germany was divided, of course, and then later his Korea 357 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 14: was divided between a Soviet faction, a Soviet a proxy, 358 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 14: and a pro Western government. So Nagasaki what we commemorate today, 359 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 14: the eightieth anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki was supremely 360 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 14: important because it ended a war that was devilishly hard. 361 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 6: To end, and it in the door to the nuclear era. 362 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 6: Of course, the era, but the day. 363 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, the reason I wanted to intercut it and my 364 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 4: team did a great The team did a great job 365 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 4: was that there were still the Bushido Samurai faction that 366 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 4: did not want to surrender. Remember we were fresh out 367 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 4: of nuclear weapons. I think we only had two that 368 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 4: were operational. Uh, and still they got hit. They also 369 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 4: there's also another big bombing to the place, but they 370 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 4: had been firebombed by Curtis la May brutally to try 371 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 4: to break their industrial capability. In the spring. I think March, 372 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 4: the middle of March is one of the worst fire 373 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 4: bombings of the world UH in the history of the war, 374 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 4: and still they would not surrender. They got hit with 375 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 4: two nuclear weapons, and yet there was still a significant 376 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 4: faction of the High command and the Japanese Army that 377 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 4: just wouldn't put it down. My point is, these are 378 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 4: these wars are so hard to stop. This is about 379 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 4: the heroic effort of President Trump. Remember in Ukraine right now, 380 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 4: there's been two million casualties that never really gets brought 381 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 4: up that much. President Trump says all the time. The 382 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 4: Ukrainian actually Zelenski's people play down the number of deaths 383 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 4: of civilians and Putin and the KGB never want to 384 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 4: let the real facts out of how the Red Army 385 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 4: or how the Russian Army has been. So I don't 386 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 4: say a nap because they're kind of finding the way 387 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 4: the Russians do. But the casualty rates of the Russians 388 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 4: a huge. President Trump, I think said last week or 389 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 4: two weeks, so it was like twenty thousand over the 390 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 4: last couple of weeks. This war in Ukraine is as 391 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 4: brutal as anything that was fought in the twentieth century. 392 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 4: And what's happening at Gaza is as brutal as anything 393 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 4: happened in the twentieth century. Look at the Earl. I 394 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 4: put up some drone footage the other day from I 395 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 4: think it had up on the Guardian a drone footage 396 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 4: and it looks like Dresden in nineteen forty five and 397 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 4: Hamas in the Muslim Brotherhood. Look that military capability. He's 398 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 4: got to be taken out. But it's going to be very, 399 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 4: very difficult, particularly as you've kind of waited this long 400 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 4: to do it, and they had kind of fits and starts, 401 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 4: et cetera. So his efforts here in peace are a 402 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 4: long way from getting done right. And the key is 403 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 4: for America first is to make sure that we don't 404 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 4: get drawn exorably into these wars. Cleo Pascal, once again, 405 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,239 Speaker 4: the part of the world that you're an expert in 406 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 4: is front and center on the eightieth commemoration because it 407 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 4: once again reinforces the importance of the Western Pacific to 408 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: the strategic interest of the United States of America. One 409 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 4: of the reasons, principally because it's United States territory, right, 410 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 4: people have to understand we're not going overseas to do this. 411 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 4: This is part of the United States of America, ma'am, yes. 412 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 7: Well, box car which took off to bomb Nagasaki. In fact, 413 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 7: I think it was a secondary target because the first 414 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 7: one was covered by clouds. Took off from Tinian, which 415 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 7: is in the comwealth of Northern Marianas, which is now 416 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 7: in the United States. And it was really very much 417 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 7: this geography that allowed the US to be in a 418 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 7: position to. 419 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 6: End the war. 420 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 7: And Alaska is a part of that. Billy Mitchell was 421 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 7: talking about this well before the war in the thirties 422 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 7: about how Alaska was pivotal to what we would now 423 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 7: call hemispheric defense. It is part of the Pacific, so 424 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 7: that whole hemispheric defense concept is very much embedded in 425 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 7: a strategic understanding for over one hundred years of how 426 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 7: the US can be safe. And an interesting thing to 427 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 7: me is what happens next about the American way of winning? 428 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 7: What happens when you win? And this was something that 429 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 7: was put in place with the Atlantic Charter before the 430 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 7: US even entered the war, because the question is what 431 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 7: are you fighting for? All these people are going to die, 432 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 7: the families are going to be destroyed, economies are going 433 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 7: to be ravage. What for? And the U, US and 434 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 7: and and the British put together this Atlantic Charter to 435 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 7: say what they were going to fight for, and fundamentally, 436 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 7: at least in the Pacific, it is this free and 437 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 7: indo Pacific concept that we're now trying to maintain again. 438 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 7: So how do we how do we prioritize what to 439 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 7: fight for? 440 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 4: How do we make it explicit? 441 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 7: I think we need to do it again so we 442 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 7: know where we're trying to head. So if we do 443 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 7: have to fight, we know where the limits are and 444 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 7: what the goals are, and you don't end up in 445 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 7: this sort of endless war that we're seeing again. 446 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 4: Cleo, can you hang on? Doctor Thayer? Tom Dance is 447 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 4: going to join us. We've got Dave Bratt on a 448 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 4: Saturday Morning Wars and the Rumors War in the eightieth 449 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 4: commemoration with the bombing and Nagasaki back in a moment confuse, 450 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 4: host Stephen k Bat, Dave Brat, can you pick up 451 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 4: on clear Pascal's a brilliance right there about the American 452 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 4: way went about ending wars. Because this is what we're 453 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 4: talking about here, folks. Let me be blunt. America first 454 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 4: is about taking care of business here. But we're not isolationists. 455 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 4: The first thing we have to do is extract ourselves 456 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 4: from these bloody conflicts in the Middle East and in 457 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 4: Eastern Europe that are not in the vital national security 458 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 4: interests in the United States. I'm just sorry they're not. 459 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: So we have to do that, and we have to 460 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 4: focus on hemispheric defense, and we have to prioritize as adults, 461 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 4: particularly against the existential threat we have, which is the 462 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 4: Chinese Communist Party. Dave Brat your thoughts. 463 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 13: Yeah, well, thank god for experts like Bradley and Cleo. 464 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 13: They're right on the money. 465 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 12: I'll just connect a couple dots starting up Bradley at 466 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 12: the japan established. Beware of the establishment versus the wisdom 467 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 12: of the emperor. Right, who's chosen probably has more historical awareness, 468 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 12: and the establishment always wants war. 469 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 13: That brings us to Zelensky and that. 470 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 12: Choice, the choice, there's no choice for peace anymore, right, 471 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 12: the establishment news media in this country never shows you 472 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 12: the exact choice. He had a choice, you know, a 473 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 12: year or two back, maybe for giving up you know, 474 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 12: a bit of the South and maybe a couple of 475 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 12: the Bletsks regions. 476 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 13: Small territories. 477 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 12: Now, the deal for Zelenski is Kiev or no Kiev. Right, 478 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 12: it's not a peace deal, it's the survival of Ukraine. 479 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 12: And the idea that this you know, unelected person gets 480 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 12: to choose is way off base. And then finally our 481 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 12: US establishment to bring us up to the modern day, 482 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 12: what happens when the dog catches the car? Okay, so 483 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 12: our establishment actually wants to go to war against Russia. 484 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 12: We're shooting missiles five hundred miles in. What's the plan? 485 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 12: Our establishment? It lead us in the news, don't tell 486 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 12: us that. What's the choice there? 487 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 13: What are we going to do? 488 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 12: Take Russia and break it up into five pieces? And 489 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 12: then what how's that go? Talk about the war of obliteration? 490 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 12: And so that ties into Alaska. If we do a 491 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 12: reprochma with Russia, which would be a very intelligent thing 492 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 12: to do, then the Alaska piece probably fades off into 493 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 12: some deal. You know, that's their key interest if they 494 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 12: want to go ahead to head with us, and we're 495 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 12: still abstracting from China. But yes, President Trump should not 496 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 12: be led by the CIA and the establishment who were 497 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 12: out to get him, who are out to get you. 498 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 13: He knows all this now, but he's got a. 499 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 12: Ton of powerful people pushing him, and everybody pushed right, 500 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 12: They pushed us to lie on the NATO expansion back 501 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 12: in ninety one. Seventeen countries later, we're at the end 502 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 12: of the line with Ukraine and Trump does not want 503 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 12: to go there. So expert commentary from the experts. 504 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 4: Let's bring in Tom Dan's I want to talk about Alaska. 505 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 4: In fact, you mentioned with clear is this set a 506 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 4: moment ago about the Billy Mitchell comment strategic I think 507 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 4: the governor Alaska picked up your comment and put it 508 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 4: up on Twitter today. Alaska is central to Hemisphere defense 509 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 4: and folks, you know, and you had John Bolton on 510 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 4: last night, you had you had excuse me, Biden's former 511 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 4: national security advisors on TV NonStop saying, oh, this is 512 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 4: a huge defeat for Trump to have putin come to Alaska. 513 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 4: What are you talking about? It's absolutely brilliant. People should 514 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 4: understand two things that Trump has done that is absolutely brilliant. 515 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 4: Number One, he has chosen Alaska right as the place 516 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 4: that they will sit down. Number Two, it's on the 517 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 4: fifteenth of August. Now what is that. Oh, yeah, that's 518 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 4: the eightieth anniversary commemoration of japan surrendering, not the formal 519 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 4: document that didn't take place until early September. Paying the 520 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 4: Emperor addressing his nation and saying it's over was on 521 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 4: the fifteenth of September. Fifteenth of August. And that's why 522 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 4: it's very symbolic what President Trump's doing. Tom Dan's Alaska, 523 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 4: You've been central to get the American public through the 524 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 4: war room up to speed on this. Why is it 525 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 4: so brilliant to actually have this meeting between Putin In 526 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 4: President Trump in Alaska? 527 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 6: Well see the thanks, and it's brilliant. 528 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 15: And as you're cold open well showed, it's terrifying to 529 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 15: a lot of people who are highly invested in Russia 530 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 15: and America being foes and adversaries. 531 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 4: It's because really. 532 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 15: This is where the US and Russia come together and 533 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 15: our history, and both President Trump and President Putin are 534 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 15: keen students of history and they get the significance of it. 535 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 15: And both countries have a lot in common. And we're 536 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 15: not ever allowed to say this. We can't, says Russia 537 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,959 Speaker 15: and the US. In a sense, we are both pioneer countries. 538 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 15: Russia moved eastward, the US moved westward. Alaska is where 539 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 15: they met. And remember the context. People have all heard 540 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 15: about Sewart's folwges. Let's go back in the history here. 541 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 15: We're talking about the purchase of Alaska in eighteen sixty seven. Right, 542 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 15: this was started that grew out of Russia's problems coming 543 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 15: out of losing the Crimean War. So they were they 544 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 15: had some financial difficulties after losing the war against England. Right, 545 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 15: So all these things kind of go back in time. 546 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 15: At that point in time, they had Alexander the Second 547 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 15: the war room. Posse's well, familiar with your admonitions about 548 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 15: becoming Russian serfs. Well, guess what happened. Americans all know 549 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 15: about the Emancipation Proclamation. 550 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 4: Of eighteen sixty two. 551 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 15: What they don't know is the emancipation Law of eighteen 552 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 15: sixty one was in Russia when they freed the serfs. 553 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 15: Alexander the Second, Guess what happened to Lincoln? 554 00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 4: You got killed. 555 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 15: Guess what happened to Alexander the Second, he got killed. 556 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 4: Right, So this is. 557 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 15: The same kind of dialectic that you've seen throughout history. 558 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 15: And our nations came together and made a trade there 559 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 15: and it worked for both sides. And you know, it's 560 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 15: there's some history there that continued in terms of like 561 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 15: where we meet today as we're competing, but we're at 562 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 15: our best point when we are competing and cooperating. 563 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,719 Speaker 4: Dare I say it two Christian nations that would come together. 564 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 4: They absolutely hated the elites in this country, hated the 565 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 4: elites in Europe hate it, absolutely hated, despise it. They 566 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 4: want us at war with each other and not focused 567 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 4: on our common enemy, the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing, 568 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 4: in the strategic centrality of Alaska and hemispheric defense. It's 569 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 4: quite breath takingly brilliant of President Trumpet, and also to 570 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 4: put it on fifteen August, on the eightieh commemoration of 571 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 4: the Emperor, saying it was over in the Pacific War, 572 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 4: Doctor Thayer, any closing thoughts on this, You've done such 573 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 4: a great job of putting this together for us and 574 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 4: reminding the supportant. We're going to have you on as 575 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 4: we do the run up to the fifteenth August summit 576 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 4: with Putin, because we're going to remind people of how 577 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 4: this is all inrestricably linked because the two great allies 578 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 4: of World War Two. Yes, Britain was our allies, absolutely 579 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 4: no doubt about that. But the blood that the Russian Army, 580 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 4: the Red Army shed is what drained the Wehrmach of 581 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 4: their power to really defend the West and allowed us 582 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 4: to get to unfortunately not take Berlin for all kinds 583 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 4: of political reasons, but to drive across Western Europe and 584 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 4: actually be part of the taking down of the Nazis 585 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 4: and Adolf Hitler. 586 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 14: Sir, well, Steve Alaska's genius from the standpoint of political 587 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 14: warfare targeted against the Chinese Communist Party for the reasons 588 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 14: that you mentioned, of course, but it also is in 589 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 14: August fifteenth as well, the end of the Japanese announcement, 590 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 14: announcement that they'd accept the Potsdam Declaration and surrender. But 591 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 14: it shows that the door is now opened to a 592 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,240 Speaker 14: great improvement in the relationship between Russia and the United 593 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 14: States against the CCP. So we're going to end one war, 594 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 14: a war that really never should have started, the war 595 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 14: between Russia and Ukraine, and wouldn't if Trump had been 596 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:32,720 Speaker 14: in office. 597 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 6: And what we're going to be doing now was moving 598 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 6: forward to a great improvement and on taunt in the 599 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 6: relationship between Russia and the United States directed against the CCP. 600 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 6: So very important, it's just genius from the standpoint of 601 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 6: political warfare in terms of the location and in terms 602 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 6: of the illumination of the next steps to be taken 603 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 6: in the fight against the CCP. So absolute genius. 604 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 4: Cleo Pascal. You've done such a great job being out 605 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 4: there in that part of the Western Pacific. Now something 606 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 4: so monumental is going to happen on the Pacific rim 607 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 4: and really reinforce the fact that hemispheric defense is centered 608 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 4: on the Pacific. Your closing thoughts, Man. 609 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 7: As with the Atlantic Charter at the beginning of the 610 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,919 Speaker 7: last war, it might be beneficial to start thinking about 611 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 7: an Indo Pacific Charter based on what we actually want 612 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 7: to see in the Pacific, in which allies are ready 613 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 7: to sign on to it. This is something that Congress 614 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 7: has been looking at actually for decades. Ben Gilman was 615 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 7: appropriated money for it, Congress won to radwag and for 616 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 7: American Samoa has been talking about it recently. This has 617 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 7: been bubbling around, but basically to say, what is it 618 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 7: we would be willing to fight for this time In 619 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 7: terms of this, hemispheric defense means to us what allies 620 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,959 Speaker 7: are on side, how can we help them to fight 621 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 7: to defend themselves and ultimately to defend the things that 622 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 7: we believe in and we're willing to die for and 623 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 7: are willing to die for again. That has to be 624 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 7: very clear, not some fuzzy concept or insecurities or on 625 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 7: cascade that's out of control. Let's try to make it explicit. 626 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 7: Let's talk about it and figure out what it is 627 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 7: that is framing the hemispheric defense, to make it so 628 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 7: important that we're willing once again to go right up 629 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 7: to that line in order to be able to defend it. 630 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 4: Cleopascal, what is your social media?

You'll be 662 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 4: part of this coverage too, because you understand the importance 663 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 4: of it, the importance of the Arctic the importance the 664 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 4: centrality of Alaska in the strategic design of peace for 665 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 4: the United States of America for a homoseric defense. Where 666 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 4: do people go Tom to get all your writings and observations? 667 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 15: Sure, thanks, Steve, I'm at on x at Tom Dan's CFA. 668 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 4: Thank you brother, look forward to seeing you next week. 669 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 4: This caught people like a thunderclap on a clear summer day. 670 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 4: The establishment the hatred last night coming at President Trump, 671 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 4: a peacemaker. Think about it for a second. He's trying 672 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 4: to bring peace to two areas of the world, and 673 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 4: I understand. Look, cutter, are I think some of the 674 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 4: worst bad ombreries on earth. But to understand that you're 675 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 4: sitting down them because they are part of the equation. 676 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 4: You just have to embrace that reality, as unfortunate as 677 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 4: it is. But to try to do this in the 678 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 4: Ukraine War and in the Gods of War, after doing 679 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 4: this amazing transaction with Azure Beijan in Armenia, it is 680 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 4: America first, because to get our sorted here, we've got 681 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,359 Speaker 4: to make sure we're not drawn into these wars on 682 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 4: foreign battlefields. Short commercial break, you'll see some madness as 683 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 4: we come back in a New Cold Open next in 684 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 4: the world strategies. 685 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 16: For example, this is not so much about democracy, but 686 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 16: you're seeing just today there was protests and arrests outside 687 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 16: immigration courts here in New York City because people are 688 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 16: outraged about the abuse of the way that ICE is 689 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 16: abusing the court system to trap people. And so again, 690 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 16: I mean, I think that there is no need. You know, 691 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 16: we've talked in the show I've been you know, I've 692 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 16: been on MSNBC for years and for a long time, 693 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 16: we talked about we could be falling into authoritarianism, we 694 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 16: could be moving, we could be losing our democracy. I mean, 695 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,479 Speaker 16: now we're in the authoritarian slide, and the models for 696 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 16: reversing that are not simple. People have tried to prosecute 697 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 16: Trump for crimes and other sorts of misdeeds, and so 698 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 16: there's not an equivalent in him them trying to prosecute 699 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,879 Speaker 16: the prosecutors for prosecuting him. And so again I don't 700 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 16: say I think that trying to be decorous and uphold 701 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 16: the norms while this administration goes after them with us. 702 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 17: I mean, how it works that case got him elected, 703 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,240 Speaker 17: I don't know that went that gave him his redemption narrative. 704 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 17: You could argue that that case, I think it helped. 705 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 17: I think it brought him back from the political dead, 706 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,240 Speaker 17: and it gave him a comeback narrative that his people 707 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 17: needed to see after January sixth. So I think that 708 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 17: case did a lot for him in the judicial system, 709 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 17: for him going and going through it and then being 710 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 17: seen as this resurrection figure. So I think that the 711 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 17: potency of what happens in the judicial system, I do 712 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 17: think it matters when it comes down to the politics 713 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 17: of it too, and how the electorate is going to 714 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 17: respond at the end of the day. 715 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 18: From New York, I'm Maley Belshian for Chris Hayes. Donald 716 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 18: Trump campaigned explicitly on a platform of revenge against his enemies, 717 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 18: and now he is fulfilling that promise. 718 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 11: My pick is another person who's thought about this week, 719 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 11: which is the president of Brazil, who said he was 720 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 11: not going to humiliate himself by just rolling over in 721 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 11: the face of Trump's taris. Instead, he basically is holding firm. 722 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 11: And what's particularly significant is Trump is imposing these tariffs 723 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 11: not for economic reasons, but because he doesn't like the 724 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 11: way that the judicial system in Brazil is going After 725 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,280 Speaker 11: the former president President Bolcenara. So my pick is Lula 726 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 11: from Brazil, who's had the courage to stand up, and 727 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,880 Speaker 11: let's hope that encourages others. 728 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 18: It's kind of rhetoric is nothing new for authoritarians. Benito Mussolini, 729 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 18: Italy's fascist dictator for two decades, spoke of Italy's need 730 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 18: for an avenger. But the point is the same. I'm 731 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 18: going to reward my friends, but more importantly, I am 732 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 18: going to punish my enemies. The revenge presidency is here. 733 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 4: In some respects. It makes the Lease's point on. 734 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 19: Push that these cases, I mean, just start with the 735 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 19: first impeachment. The man has weathered all of this stuff 736 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,720 Speaker 19: and you know he wasn't convicted twice in the Senate 737 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 19: on two impeachments. He comes back and he starts says, 738 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 19: I started this conversation with I'm your retribution, and to 739 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 19: Elisa's both Alisa and Elisa's point, he you know, his 740 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,240 Speaker 19: followers filled in whatever they wanted on that, and so yes, 741 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 19: the retribution, some may think is he's out there fighting 742 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 19: for them against this big, bad government. But Donald Trump 743 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 19: is fighting for himself and he's winning. 744 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,280 Speaker 4: So that court narrative. 745 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 19: Has played out in sort of a backhanded way to 746 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 19: seemingly help him because he's beat the system at every turn. 747 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,240 Speaker 4: The other meltdown. Last night, I was bet Letitia James 748 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 4: and Shifty Shift and these investigations now Grand Juri's criminal 749 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 4: Grand Juries have been impaneled. They've given the great Ed 750 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 4: Martin is now the prosecutor. He's over the in main 751 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 4: Justice as the weaponization czar. He's now after both of 752 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 4: these for I think for loan fraud, right, for taking 753 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 4: houses that were not their primary residence and getting loans 754 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 4: seeing their primary residence. There's much more that's gonna come there. 755 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 4: Also what President Trump's doing across the board as he's 756 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 4: now winning and going on offense against seditious conspiracy, which 757 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 4: they're in total meltdown. This is where we have momentum. 758 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,760 Speaker 4: We have momentum on redistrictating, we have momentum in the courts. 759 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 4: And as anybody will tell you in warfare, you press 760 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 4: your bet, you drive it, you drive it, you drive it, 761 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 4: Dave Bratt, we're not just winning, we're picking up momentum. 762 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 4: We're accelerating at an accelerating rate. 763 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 13: Baby, you took my buried lead. 764 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 12: I was gonna start with the conclusion first Trump winning 765 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 12: coming from MSNBC. 766 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 13: I mean, man, it's so good. 767 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 4: First all, man, no, I can watch that, We could 768 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 4: watch those, We can watch that all day, all day. 769 00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 13: It's yeah. 770 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 12: First off, I want to give a shout out to 771 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:05,359 Speaker 12: the Dan's brothers, Paul and Dan.

I mean they're just so good. I mean, 776 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 12: so we First of all, democracy is in jeopardy. We've 777 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 12: got a totalitarian dictator. And then she goes on to 778 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 12: prover point this is in the context of illegal immigration. Yeah, 779 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 12: illegal immigration, and her subtext is all people matter. 780 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,360 Speaker 13: This census issue is huge. We've got to fix this. 781 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,800 Speaker 12: Democracy does kind of imply everybody matters. That's why the 782 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 12: other day on the show, I brought up we got 783 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,359 Speaker 12: to switch the language big time and drill down into 784 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 12: this constitutional republic where your representatives represent these things called citizens. 785 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 12: That's what we got to get back to. Mike Ben's 786 00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 12: did a deep dive on this a couple of years ago. Right, 787 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 12: the US State Department usaid the logic was, and they 788 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,760 Speaker 12: changed in law or at least through executive order under Biden, 789 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 12: the democracy language such that democracy would be defined not 790 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 12: by the people but by the institutions set up that 791 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 12: protect democracy, including the mainstream media, so that if you 792 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,360 Speaker 12: went after the mainstream media, you were violating and challenging 793 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 12: democracy itself and you could get put behind bars, which 794 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 12: you did. 795 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,240 Speaker 13: So this is just stunning. And then you know Financial 796 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,400 Speaker 13: Times are intellectual betters. You know Oxford Cambridge just reeks 797 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 13: of elitism, which I used to like. 798 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 12: But she says, what my pick, Lula, right, I don't 799 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 12: like Trump, so my pick. So it boils down to this. 800 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 12: They're finally letting the buried lead out right. The mainstream 801 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 12: media don't like Trump. My pick doesn't have anything to do 802 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 12: with the American people are leaders nothing. 803 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 13: So Trump's winning.
