Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central now coming to you from
Speaker 1: New York City. Please lie city in America. It's the
Speaker 1: Daily Show. The Fleet throwing a ranger, the door controlled,
Speaker 1: the bait, and Sir he kissed Lisa. He's the Daily
Speaker 1: Show with Forever. No, I'll come out of the day,
Speaker 1: show him. I can show opportunity coming out of cope,
Speaker 1: show my little see the SIDERO. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: We've got a really, really fun episode for you tonight.
Speaker 1: The mid term elections have already been decided. Surprise, America's
Speaker 1: fish are doing drawing, and her Majesty the Queen is
Speaker 1: celebrating seventy years as the world's most beloved unelected dictator.
Speaker 1: So let's through those people. Let's jump straight into today's headlines,
Speaker 1: right everybody. As you may know and as you should know,
Speaker 1: today was a very special day for the Queen. And no,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Beyonce. I'm talking about the original Queen,
Speaker 1: the crown wearing range rover driving nine year old five
Speaker 1: ft giants whose face has been on money longer than
Speaker 1: any of us losers have even been alive. Long Live
Speaker 1: the Queen. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Every one of us from the colonies. We just get
Speaker 1: so excited when we talk about the Queen. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: whipped it into us when we were kids. It's not
Speaker 1: my fault. Where was I Oh? Yes, yes. Queen Elizabeth
Speaker 1: the Second has now officially been on the throne for
Speaker 1: seventy years, which means it's time to throw a little party.
Speaker 1: Four days of parades and pageantry underway in London this
Speaker 1: morning to celebrate the historic a seventy year reign of
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth. Hundreds of thousands gathering outside of Buckingham Palace,
Speaker 1: tens of millions watching around the world. An event filled
Speaker 1: with royal tradition and ceremony. Fifteen hundred troops, three hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty horses. This pageantry is the envy of the world.
Speaker 1: At Stonehenge, they have been showing pictures of the Queen
Speaker 1: from different decades. The jubilees official dessert a seven layer
Speaker 1: lemon trifle in honor of the Queen's seven decades of service.
Speaker 1: The Queens has given us her life. Really first, he's beautiful.
Speaker 1: The incredible composure of the Queen herself standing on that balcony,
Speaker 1: just how glamorous Kate looked, I mean, she is becoming
Speaker 1: an icon. And then little Prince Louis, who looked frankly
Speaker 1: bored and a little unimpressed by the whole thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course he's bored. Don't forget he's a prince. Okay,
Speaker 1: so to him, she's not the Queen of England in
Speaker 1: her palace. She's just Granny in her house with the
Speaker 1: grandma smell. All right, it doesn't matter what the spectacle is.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, he is still a
Speaker 1: little kid at a family party. If you want to
Speaker 1: hold these interests, you know what you gotta do. You
Speaker 1: gotta give him an iPad. Yeah, that's what I do
Speaker 1: with four year old whenever I look after them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I put YouTube on, also play, and then boom, They said,
Speaker 1: for like ten hours straight. Yeah, I'm the world's best babysitter.
Speaker 1: And they come away understanding that Bush did nine eleven.
Speaker 1: But seriously, this looked like so much fun. Four days
Speaker 1: of parties. It's like a burning man when nobody's pretending
Speaker 1: to be poor. They've got fifteen hundred troops, hundreds of horses,
Speaker 1: seven layer desserts. The only part I didn't enjoy was
Speaker 1: when they projected the Queen onto Stonehenge. Yeah, that felt
Speaker 1: kind of like an age thing, you know. I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: you two know each other, don't you. Queen say had
Speaker 1: the stone faces. And while the six dravagants and may
Speaker 1: seem excessive to people, you gotta admit, seventy years on
Speaker 1: the throne is impressive, you know. In fact, it's impressive
Speaker 1: for any job. Who else has held onto a job
Speaker 1: for that long? Huh? I mean if you think about it,
Speaker 1: in fact, maybe it's time for the Queen to try
Speaker 1: something new. I mean, with the skills she's learned at
Speaker 1: this job, you know, she could try something else. She
Speaker 1: would be an incredible Walmart greeter. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: plasma screens in all five. She could be a consultant
Speaker 1: on the next season of Bridgets in you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: just being like it's not bad, but I wish we
Speaker 1: had this many chocolate hunks in my day. Yeah, or
Speaker 1: the best foot ofball. She could be a rapper. The
Speaker 1: Queen would be seamless in that. Yeah, she's got the bodyguards,
Speaker 1: she's got the blink, she just went platinum. All she
Speaker 1: needs now is to start a beef with another monarch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want somebody this Emperor nary Hutol didn't think so, bitch.
Speaker 1: But let's move on from someone who's been on the
Speaker 1: throne for seventy years to someone who wishes they could
Speaker 1: be on the throne for seven years more. Donald Jubilee Trump,
Speaker 1: because do you guys remember you know how Trump and
Speaker 1: these people will peacefully try to uh dispute the election.
Speaker 1: You guys remember that? Yeah, well if you don't, if
Speaker 1: you don't understand, it was like thirty four years ago
Speaker 1: in pandemic time. But it turns out that since Trump
Speaker 1: left office, the MAGA crowd has been plotting their next
Speaker 1: move like a cartoon villain. And the reason we know
Speaker 1: this now is because yesterday Political dropped a bombshell story
Speaker 1: about how the GOP might plan to win the mid
Speaker 1: terms without having the most votes. Yeah, because you see,
Speaker 1: they were trying to challenge the election. But thanks to
Speaker 1: a new leaked recording, we now know the new mega
Speaker 1: plan is to install Trump's supporters as poll workers to
Speaker 1: challenge the election from the inside. And a stunning piece
Speaker 1: of reporting Political is uncovered tapes of Republican operatives strategizing
Speaker 1: on how to overturn votes in Democratic precincts. The idea
Speaker 1: is to install party train volunteers prepared to challenge voters
Speaker 1: at democratic majority polling place is, and then to back
Speaker 1: up those party trained poll workers with a quote army
Speaker 1: of party friendly lawyers. Those folks are largely Q and
Speaker 1: nine election deniers, folks who think the election was corrupted,
Speaker 1: who are now going to be trained as poll workers,
Speaker 1: sitting there having their hands on the ballots, taking in
Speaker 1: the information from the voters. Oh boy, this is not good.
Speaker 1: This is definitely not good. Trump lovers are planning to
Speaker 1: install themselves in place of nonpartisan poll workers. It's a
Speaker 1: major conflict of interest. It's like hiring death as a lifeguard.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's interested in saving you. And look,
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that Trump Republicans are switching their things
Speaker 1: up for this coming election, because last time, what do
Speaker 1: they do? They left it to this guy, right, a
Speaker 1: man who was somehow even bad at sweating. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at that, right, That's that's what it looks like
Speaker 1: when hope physically leaves your body. And this is the
Speaker 1: thing about Republicans, They're not deterred by setbacks. Right, They
Speaker 1: tried to steal the election last time, and what happened.
Speaker 1: Everyone laughed at them, and they could have given up,
Speaker 1: you know, and tried to win the election based solely
Speaker 1: on the strength of the ideas. But no, they got up,
Speaker 1: they dusted themselves off, and they said, this time, we're
Speaker 1: not going to need to overturn the votes because we
Speaker 1: won't count them in the first place. And let that
Speaker 1: be a lesson kids, you never give up on your dreams.
Speaker 1: I think that's the lesson, right, that is the lesson. No,
Speaker 1: it's not that. Oh and by the way, if you're
Speaker 1: worried that this means you won't get your eye voted stickers,
Speaker 1: calm down. You will. Yeah, it'll just have a question
Speaker 1: mark at the end despite things up. All right, let's
Speaker 1: move on. Are you one of those people who eats
Speaker 1: fish instead of red meat because it's healthier for you, Well,
Speaker 1: if you live in Florida, you might want to think again.
Speaker 1: There's this alarming study out of Florida finding fish off
Speaker 1: the coast are contaminated with pharmaceutical Researchers sampled nineties three
Speaker 1: bone fish over three years and found an average of
Speaker 1: seven meds per bone fish. One fish had seventeen different
Speaker 1: drugs list includes blood pressure medication, antidepressants, antibiotics, pain relievers,
Speaker 1: and a lot more. Researchers say the meds get in
Speaker 1: the wastewater every time people flush, you know, every time
Speaker 1: I think I've seen the most American story of all time.
Speaker 1: This kind of stuff comes up because which other country
Speaker 1: can say there's so much medication leaving our bodies. We're
Speaker 1: both basically providing Obamacare to the fish. Think about how
Speaker 1: much medication our American doctors prescribing people. I think it
Speaker 1: might be too much. If I can ship out a
Speaker 1: full dose for somebody else, I would say this could
Speaker 1: be a good thing. There is a silver lining. Drug
Speaker 1: prices have gotten so high in America. If you can't
Speaker 1: afford your hot medication, now you can just go to
Speaker 1: red Lobster. Yeah. Yeah, you might get your blood pressure down,
Speaker 1: or you might get a full hour erection. Either way
Speaker 1: you're happier. You're happier. And I know, I know that
Speaker 1: some people who are like Trevor, it's not about the people.
Speaker 1: This is unhealthy for the fish. It's not about humans.
Speaker 1: I actually think this is good for the fish. I do.
Speaker 1: I think it's good that they got ahold of some
Speaker 1: of those antidepressants. You know, yeah, if your habitat was
Speaker 1: slowly boiling around you, you could use some lexa pro
Speaker 1: you know, just show you out. You know, when I
Speaker 1: was watching the story, like, I know that we put
Speaker 1: toilet water in the ocean, but the story just reminded
Speaker 1: me that we put our toilet water in the ocean.
Speaker 1: It's just like, what if I'm having fun at the beach,
Speaker 1: you know, frolicking in the waves, I never think, man,
Speaker 1: it's great to spend time in a big, giant toilets.
Speaker 1: We don't think of the ocean as that when we're
Speaker 1: in it. You don't you realize people propose at the beach.
Speaker 1: Not once you remember that our toilet water goes, there's
Speaker 1: not as romance it anymore. You know. It's just like, so,
Speaker 1: how did he propose? Like, oh, remember that huge dumpy
Speaker 1: flush the other day that was right next to that?
Speaker 1: Oh my god. All right, but let's move on to
Speaker 1: some exciting use from the world of science, and in particular, robots.
Speaker 1: There's no denying that robots have come a long way,
Speaker 1: you know, from helping humans assemble cause to showing off
Speaker 1: their dance moves to distract us from the apocalypse. They're
Speaker 1: planning to even running some of the world's biggest social
Speaker 1: media companies. But it turns out the next big leap
Speaker 1: in robots might actually be really small. Well, a group
Speaker 1: of engineers from Northwestern University developing the smallest remote control
Speaker 1: robots ever created. Look at this, So this tiny crab
Speaker 1: robots is only half a millimeter wide. That's smaller than
Speaker 1: a flea that can walk along the edge of a
Speaker 1: penny too, and the bots has the ability to crawl, jump,
Speaker 1: and even twists. The engineers hope micro robots can eventually
Speaker 1: repair small machines in tight spaces. You those things look
Speaker 1: like something warmly picked up at an airport, like hinta Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, you gotta wrap it up warly. That
Speaker 1: looks disgusting. You know. I don't know why this this
Speaker 1: kind of robot scares me a lot more than the
Speaker 1: human sized ones, because at least if a big robot
Speaker 1: goes berserk, we can close the door. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: we're making tiny robots. You're just gonna wait until you're
Speaker 1: sleep and they crawl into your mouth, into your brain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And they get into your brain and they trigger that
Speaker 1: memory of the time you asked that girls are prom
Speaker 1: and she said she was busy that night. But then
Speaker 1: you saw her at the prom, and now I wish
Speaker 1: that robot had killed me. And you know why it's
Speaker 1: cool to have a super tiny robots to respare to
Speaker 1: repair small machines. What are you gonna do in the
Speaker 1: tiny robots break? Do we think about that? Huh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't think about it, do you. Yeah, you realize
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. You've got robots breaking, you bring the
Speaker 1: tiny robots to fix those, and then the tiny robots broke,
Speaker 1: and then when you're gonna have to call the world's
Speaker 1: tiniest repair man to your house. Okay, before we get started,
Speaker 1: there's a few things I'm gonna need from you. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get thirsty, so gave me a drop of water
Speaker 1: off for the day. Okay. Secondly, I only take Venmo.
Speaker 1: Can't risk getting stuck on to another dollar bill for
Speaker 1: a week. No more of that. And most importantly, make
Speaker 1: sure you lock up your cat. That thing's like a
Speaker 1: t rex to me. I'm tiny. I'm dining. Okay. Finally,
Speaker 1: have you ever wondered what happens between the time you
Speaker 1: click order on a food delivery app and the food
Speaker 1: actually arriving at your door, and you might be saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I know what happens, Trevor, I rub one out while
Speaker 1: I wait. No, what I mean is what happens on
Speaker 1: the food side. You guys are disgusting. Well, now delivery
Speaker 1: drivers are revealing what's really happening behind the scenes, but
Speaker 1: you may want to pick it up instead of having
Speaker 1: it delivered. According to a new poll, delivery workers admitt
Speaker 1: to eating some of the food in their customers orders.
Speaker 1: More than five delivery drivers were pulled for the survey,
Speaker 1: and the results shows hooking up with someone in the vehicle.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that that is shocking. Of drivers eat their
Speaker 1: customers food so that means of drivers are delivering vegan meals.
Speaker 1: That can't be right. I actually don't necessarily have a
Speaker 1: problem with sharing my food with someone. I'm not Swedish.
Speaker 1: And also this news actually makes me feel better about
Speaker 1: ordering takeouts because now when someone says, do you know
Speaker 1: how many calories are in those fries, I'll be like less.
Speaker 1: Thanks to Barry five stars. Barry five stars, and before
Speaker 1: you hear this news and go, delivery drivers are ship
Speaker 1: they're eating our food. Maybe you should be asking why
Speaker 1: do these billion dollar tech companies pay the delivery people
Speaker 1: so badly that they have to eat your food? In fact,
Speaker 1: they should have an option where I'm top of the tip,
Speaker 1: you can order extra food for them. The only detail
Speaker 1: that threw me in this whole thing is the part
Speaker 1: about hooking up in the car that threw me off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when they said, like delivery drivers admit to hooking up
Speaker 1: in the car, like when, I just want to know
Speaker 1: when I don't mind? But when is it like when
Speaker 1: they when they're not delivered, when they're on the job.
Speaker 1: Is that like while they're delivering the food? Because I'll
Speaker 1: be honest, man, you know I don't want my freshly
Speaker 1: cooked dumplings to witness that. Oh boy, oh boy. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to go to my new house, so it's
Speaker 1: gonna be Wait, why are we stopping? What what are
Speaker 1: you do doing? I don't want to say that, as
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that as close the lead,
Speaker 1: close the lad Why does he have a sausage out here?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Tough? Lack of the dumplings? All right,
Speaker 1: we gotta take a quick break, but don't go away
Speaker 1: because when we come back Michael Costa hits the streets
Speaker 1: to find solutions to America's gun problem. You don't want
Speaker 1: to miss it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. May fourteen,
Speaker 1: a man armed with an Air fifteen style rifle shots
Speaker 1: up a supermarket in Buffalo. Ten days later, another man
Speaker 1: with an Air fifteen style rifle shot up a school
Speaker 1: in Texas, And just yesterday a man with an Air
Speaker 1: fifteen style rifle shot up a medical building in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Now you might think the problem here is all the
Speaker 1: Air fifteen style rifles, but that just shows how little
Speaker 1: you know, because the real problem, according to some, is
Speaker 1: all the doors. Have one door into and out of
Speaker 1: the school, and have that one door armed police officers
Speaker 1: at that door. If there should be one entrance in
Speaker 1: and one entrance out, and all of our elementary and
Speaker 1: all of our middle schools are small enough to do that,
Speaker 1: it is about the single point of entry. If the
Speaker 1: school was on lockdown, could the doors have been locked
Speaker 1: where he couldn't have gotten in? Classroom doors should be
Speaker 1: hardened to make them lockable from the inside and closed
Speaker 1: two intruders from the outside. That's right. America had is
Speaker 1: a doors problem. In fact, some doors are totally unhinged,
Speaker 1: and yet politicians are doing nothing. And since we know
Speaker 1: other countries don't have America's mass shooting problem, that clearly
Speaker 1: means that they know something about doors that we don't.
Speaker 1: So we asked Michael Costans to hit the streets and
Speaker 1: find out how other countries deal with their doors. In
Speaker 1: the days since you Valdy, we've had eleven more mass
Speaker 1: shoot hold on ship another one. In the days since
Speaker 1: you Valdy, we've had twelve more mass hold on news
Speaker 1: alert thirteen fourteen mass shootings. But for some reason, mass
Speaker 1: shootings are the one part of American culture that isn't
Speaker 1: popular in other countries. How often are you having mass
Speaker 1: shootings in India? Is a weekly? As a daily in
Speaker 1: thirty years? Never never heard of maids? Wow, So what
Speaker 1: are they doing differently than us? Shootings in America? Everyone
Speaker 1: knows what's causing them. No one's really saying it. It's
Speaker 1: the elephant in the room. Let's say it together. America
Speaker 1: has too many doors. Wait, what did you say? The
Speaker 1: one thing America can do to prevent mass shootings is
Speaker 1: to limit each school to one or even better, zero doors.
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense. One do how is that going
Speaker 1: to look like? How are you going to get fire?
Speaker 1: Let's say we're in the school together with no doors
Speaker 1: and we're in the fire. That's why the kids should
Speaker 1: have guns. You shoot out a circle, I'll grab your hand,
Speaker 1: will be like I saw it an action movie once
Speaker 1: and then we and then we go out or we
Speaker 1: shoot out the window. What a guns have to do
Speaker 1: with it? I'm talking about like doors, you know, like
Speaker 1: the shooters come in through doors. I wasn't sure why
Speaker 1: these two weres for ignoring the real threat to our
Speaker 1: nation doors. How did the Polish government defeat the door lobby?
Speaker 1: They don't They just let people have dooms? Okay, how
Speaker 1: many shootings if of it? Exactly what? Yeah? But these
Speaker 1: are little European doors, like little ones that like hands
Speaker 1: On and Gretel walked through. This isn't the old days
Speaker 1: with the old doors, the big wooden heavy doors that
Speaker 1: was real difficult to open. You know, these are new
Speaker 1: modern doors, like even a kid can open them. There's
Speaker 1: so many heartless manufacturers like Smith and West No like
Speaker 1: greaton barrels have to do with the doors. I realized
Speaker 1: doors are a hot button issue. But just keep your cool.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything crazy. I'm just saying you should
Speaker 1: have a license to buy a door. You should have
Speaker 1: a background check to buy a door. If you have
Speaker 1: committed a violent crime in the last five years, maybe
Speaker 1: there's a waiting period for you to buy a door.
Speaker 1: So you say that buying a gun should be easier
Speaker 1: than buying any door. What a guns have to do
Speaker 1: with it? Guns are would keep us safe. Foreigners like
Speaker 1: to say that Americans are obsessed with guns, Yet when
Speaker 1: it comes to preventing mass shootings, all they wanted to
Speaker 1: talk about was guns. Now, who's obsessed? Do you think
Speaker 1: it would help to ban revolvers? Yeah, you know the
Speaker 1: doors that go around Like, oh, I thought, sorry, you
Speaker 1: were thinking of guns. But what about your constitutional right
Speaker 1: to have a gun? Right? Whoa does it suck? Over there?
Speaker 1: We have a no, you can't buy a gun, just
Speaker 1: like that. You have to have permission to have a gun, permaid,
Speaker 1: a license, Yeah, a license. You can't go in the
Speaker 1: shop and have a gun. It's complicated. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you what's simple. One door. You keep coming back to
Speaker 1: these guns, right, people are coming through the doors to
Speaker 1: do dangerous stuff. Wow, they have to have something dangerous
Speaker 1: with them like a gun and the doors. I don't
Speaker 1: know you walk through the doors. I can't see the
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't understand. I appreciate you apologizing and
Speaker 1: apology accepted. Maybe one day these foreigners will have some
Speaker 1: actual advice and how to stop shootings in America. But
Speaker 1: until then, our door is open. We'll figure it out. Michael,
Speaker 1: stay tunes because we're gonna be joined by Ukrainian Ambassador
Speaker 1: to the United Nations, Sergei kits Leia, So please don't
Speaker 1: go away. Welcome back to the Danner Show. My guest tonight.
Speaker 1: If Ukraine's representative to the United Nations easier to talk
Speaker 1: about Russia's war in Ukraine, please welcome ambassador, sir, Hey Liza, welcome, Ambassador,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Didnner Show. Thank you, thank you for
Speaker 1: invited me. You have a rarely position, a really interesting position,
Speaker 1: and a difficult undertaking right now because you are representing
Speaker 1: Ukraine at the U N and Ukraine is in one
Speaker 1: of the most precarious positions right now. Before we get
Speaker 1: into where we are, let's maybe clear up the beginning.
Speaker 1: How did this start and what is the cause of
Speaker 1: what we're seeing in Ukraine? Well, do you want a
Speaker 1: long story or you want a short version. I guess
Speaker 1: we're one three hundred, three hundred years. But the long
Speaker 1: the short one is putting them to power. And he
Speaker 1: probably promised himself that he would restore the Soviet Empire.
Speaker 1: And ever since, we are um in the state of war,
Speaker 1: and now we are in the state of hot war.
Speaker 1: I mean actually the war started not on the fourth
Speaker 1: or February, started back in two south of fourteen. And
Speaker 1: you you, you're in a position now where as you said,
Speaker 1: I like that you call it a hot war because
Speaker 1: it's a war that you know, people can see very clearly.
Speaker 1: Are many people who are being killed, are tanks rolling in?
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a different type of war though,
Speaker 1: because everybody agrees that Ukraine is on the right, everybody
Speaker 1: agrees that Russia is doing something wrong. And yet because
Speaker 1: of Russia being Russia, it seems like the United Nations
Speaker 1: and many other countries are scared to overact for fear
Speaker 1: of causing a world war. How how do you then
Speaker 1: ask for help and what do you what do you
Speaker 1: hope will be achieved if countries, you know, have to
Speaker 1: balance this precarious position. Well, I think that as a
Speaker 1: matter of fact for me, or we are already in
Speaker 1: the Third World War, which may be quine of crazy
Speaker 1: to say, but the twenty one century is not the
Speaker 1: twentieth century where we had these standard wars with tanks
Speaker 1: crossing the borders. We are in the hybrid world and
Speaker 1: you don't really need to cross the border to attack
Speaker 1: the United States. You can do that in the cyberspace,
Speaker 1: you know, or you can do like a terrorism or
Speaker 1: financial terrorism. So basically we are there in the United Nations,
Speaker 1: and the United Nations is a pro act of three
Speaker 1: old gentlemen, among which were Joseph Stalin. So it's not perfect,
Speaker 1: and we still in the hundreds day of the war.
Speaker 1: We still have Russia sitting in front of us, and
Speaker 1: we still pretend that we have to respect it. And
Speaker 1: the only reason we respect Russian Federation is because well,
Speaker 1: I do not respect, but they have to respect because
Speaker 1: that's a very important correction, because they possessed the nuclear
Speaker 1: arsenal and they are really paranoid that Russia may use
Speaker 1: nukes against them. So is your argument then that Russia
Speaker 1: shouldn't be sitting as one of those permanent members of
Speaker 1: the UN. Well, first of all, Russia is not a
Speaker 1: permanent member if you ask me, I mean, Russia occupied
Speaker 1: the seat of the Soviet Union back in the same
Speaker 1: way the Russia occupied Georgia, the same way Russia occupied
Speaker 1: Transnistra in Moldova, the same way Russia invaded Syria. So, uh,
Speaker 1: Russia occupies, occupies, occupies, and we are all complacent with that.
Speaker 1: I mean, we were complacent to that until the night
Speaker 1: of the Only three, and all of a sudden we
Speaker 1: were surprised that it happened, I mean, which was imminent
Speaker 1: for thirty years. But do you do you think that
Speaker 1: maybe this has been you know it everything in hindsight
Speaker 1: is you know, and and and I've read you know,
Speaker 1: some historians who would argue that, you know, they could
Speaker 1: have been a way for the world to bring Russia
Speaker 1: into the fold from the very beginning. Some say the
Speaker 1: problem was the fact that Russia was pushed out. Russia
Speaker 1: felt like they were being isolated. It felt like nature
Speaker 1: was encroaching on their territory. If Putin was brought into
Speaker 1: the fauld, he would have had a vested interest in
Speaker 1: being part of the world. Do you do you see
Speaker 1: any credence in that argument? Well, you know, I saw
Speaker 1: many criminal knowledgists of sovietologists they called, they are called often,
Speaker 1: and they are too noted with their vision over the
Speaker 1: world the same way like Germany was two notes with
Speaker 1: north Stream. You know, they saw the world through the
Speaker 1: tunne of north Stream, and we were all of us,
Speaker 1: we were guilty of Latin putting grow as a dictator
Speaker 1: of unprecedented scale in Europe. Probably Hitler only the one
Speaker 1: who can compare him with uh No. I don't believe
Speaker 1: in episement. I believe in the need to fight the virus.
Speaker 1: And Russian budanism is the same as carbet. But it's
Speaker 1: only the international politics cart you know, right right, and
Speaker 1: and and and it is taking its toll as well.
Speaker 1: You know your your your country is in a position
Speaker 1: now where every day we read about how Russia is
Speaker 1: changing its tactics. You know it's slowly becoming a war
Speaker 1: of attrition as opposed to a direct assault. You know,
Speaker 1: Ukraine has inspired the world and how and how you're
Speaker 1: fighting back. You know your your president has been there,
Speaker 1: staying in the country, you know, despite what everyone thought
Speaker 1: he would do. Um When you get to the point though,
Speaker 1: where it feels like European nations are almost encouraging Ukraine
Speaker 1: too in some way, you know, give up a piece
Speaker 1: of territory. You see many European nations saying Ukraine, maybe
Speaker 1: you should just give them the don Bas region, Just
Speaker 1: give them that part that has already expressed some sort
Speaker 1: of interest in becoming part of Russia. You have said
Speaker 1: that that is a complete non start whine. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: absolutely I mean, unless everybody is an easiac. You know,
Speaker 1: let me remind it what happened in nineteen orty eight
Speaker 1: when Hitler signed a Munich agreement with Chamberlain. The New
Speaker 1: York Times literally literally ran an article and they can
Speaker 1: quote from it, the world has never been pregnant with
Speaker 1: hope as it is now. And then what happened to
Speaker 1: Caslovakia lost one fifth of its territory. The Nazi troops
Speaker 1: moved in, and then in less than twelve months, the
Speaker 1: Second World War started and the whole Czechoslovakia was invaded.
Speaker 1: So basically, if people are not very cognizant of the
Speaker 1: history lessons, they have to go back to school, so
Speaker 1: I think, and it's a duty of all of us
Speaker 1: to make them study the history. Are you worried that
Speaker 1: European countries may at some point say this is too
Speaker 1: much for us, and we don't know if we're gonna
Speaker 1: back Ukraine through this, because we've seen again through history
Speaker 1: Russia is not afraid to fight long, painful wars. You know,
Speaker 1: it seems like Vladimir Putin's on aflate to send his
Speaker 1: troops out onto the front lines and and and have
Speaker 1: them perish because he doesn't have to worry about an
Speaker 1: election that he's losing. You know, an approval is not
Speaker 1: his issue. And so if if you're in that position,
Speaker 1: you know, Ukraine isn't is in a space where you
Speaker 1: have your your your your people who may get demoralized.
Speaker 1: You know, you have a nation that is constantly bombarded.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously the US is helping you, But but
Speaker 1: what would you hope the next steps would be? Then,
Speaker 1: where do you see the world moving towards to help Ukraine? Well, Tevor,
Speaker 1: you just came from Europe onto your right, did yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you see, so it was your own eyes that Europe
Speaker 1: it's not really a homogeneous is It's so diverse, it's
Speaker 1: like a bouquet of nations, right, So it would be
Speaker 1: kind of over a generalization to say that Europe believes
Speaker 1: Eure obsays. I mean, we have wonderful, wonderful nations like Poland,
Speaker 1: like the UK like Portugal. I just to talk to
Speaker 1: the Portuguese best, like Baltic states. They will fight hard
Speaker 1: until the very end to defeat the Russian despotism. You know,
Speaker 1: we have some countries that got used to live in
Speaker 1: comfort for so long that they are out of context altogether.
Speaker 1: But the thing is that if we do not defeat
Speaker 1: Putanism today, right, if we we will be satisfied with
Speaker 1: just a military defeat of Russia in Ukraine and we
Speaker 1: will let these dictator to regrow his chopped back clothes,
Speaker 1: they will hit all of you again, like in five
Speaker 1: or seven years from now, and then we all paid
Speaker 1: triple price for it. So, even from the point of
Speaker 1: view of investing money in Ukrainian victory, investing money in
Speaker 1: Ukrainian victory is investing money in your own security. And
Speaker 1: you should be all grateful that it is the Ukrainian soldiers,
Speaker 1: not the British soldiers, not the American soldiers, who are
Speaker 1: dying in the front defending the collective democratic world. You know.
Speaker 1: So I have to remind about that to all of
Speaker 1: our viewers and to all people in Europe, in North America,
Speaker 1: and not only there. I have to buy in all
Speaker 1: Africans who will suffer from the food shortages in two
Speaker 1: months from now. A lot of people don't know about that,
Speaker 1: you know. I have so many people complaining about food
Speaker 1: prices going up, many people in the Middle Eastern Africa
Speaker 1: struggling with you know, a shortage of wheat and bread
Speaker 1: is you know, the most important food sources. Many people
Speaker 1: don't know how much of that grain is coming from Ukraine.
Speaker 1: For the entire world. There are countries, there are countries
Speaker 1: that are sevent dependent on Ukrainian grain, and those countries
Speaker 1: are devastatus with civil wars or with drafts, or with
Speaker 1: climate calamities. They have no way to go on the
Speaker 1: market and buy grain from somewhere else, so I mean
Speaker 1: from for them, it is a matter of civil survival.
Speaker 1: And the fact is that we have twenty one million
Speaker 1: tons of grains to be exported, and we can't do
Speaker 1: that because one crazy little person in in Kremlin does
Speaker 1: not really allow us to do that, you know. And
Speaker 1: that's that's amazing. I mean, that's amazing. And one of
Speaker 1: the jobs we have to do. One of the things
Speaker 1: we are doing currently in the United Nations, we are
Speaker 1: desperately seeking the way how to save millions of people
Speaker 1: who are literally under the threat of dying observation ten
Speaker 1: thousand miles away from from Ukraine, you know. And that
Speaker 1: is why this conflict has so many implications that unlike
Speaker 1: in two thousand and fourteen, where we when we were
Speaker 1: all happy to have one hundred nations voting in favor
Speaker 1: of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, we now have overwhelming majority.
Speaker 1: We have one hundred forty one nations that voted on
Speaker 1: the second of March and that identify Russia as an
Speaker 1: aggressive state. You know, there were only four countries, such
Speaker 1: wonderful countries. It's North Korea and Syria who voted in
Speaker 1: support of Russia, you know. And it's very important. It's
Speaker 1: very important because the world finally understood that it's not
Speaker 1: just about Ukraine, it's about the entire collective, democratic community
Speaker 1: of nations. Thank you so much for joining us, about
Speaker 1: than before. United I think you'll be come hopefully waiting
Speaker 1: you again. We're gonna take a quick break. We will
