When does it come out 0:00:42.257 --> 0:00:48.537 to you? But I say I got this from Ryan Substack, 0:00:48.577 --> 0:00:50.537 the National Popular news that are so I cite. I 0:00:50.577 --> 0:00:54.017 don't just like pillage it without any say so yeah, no, 0:00:54.417 --> 0:00:56.817 and all you know, I even i'll cite.

I don't just write 0:01:05.537 --> 0:01:08.297 nonsense like I will sign who my sources are for 0:01:08.337 --> 0:01:10.057 every article I linked to them in the news life. 0:01:11.177 --> 0:01:15.057 This newsletter this week about the vice presidential election, I 0:01:15.057 --> 0:01:17.577 didn't I couldn't name my sources. But I had quite 0:01:17.577 --> 0:01:18.017 a few of. 0:01:17.937 --> 0:01:20.257 Them, all right, So let's let's dive into this because 0:01:20.297 --> 0:01:22.617 everyone's gonna be really curious about this. Tell me who's 0:01:22.657 --> 0:01:24.857 going to be? And I'm realizing also on the YouTube, 0:01:24.897 --> 0:01:26.537 I really need a haircut, Like this is getting out 0:01:26.537 --> 0:01:29.417 of control. Uh tell me, I do so, so everyone 0:01:29.417 --> 0:01:31.497 in the comments they can stop with the look good 0:01:31.497 --> 0:01:33.697 to who could you're here? It's like, all right, I'm 0:01:33.737 --> 0:01:35.377 a human being. I got a lot of things going on. 0:01:35.457 --> 0:01:37.497 A little puppy that's biting my ankles all the time. 0:01:37.537 --> 0:01:39.777 I got to feed it. I forget to get my haircut. 0:01:39.857 --> 0:01:42.177 I maybe took a nap right before this podcast, so 0:01:42.257 --> 0:01:46.537 I'm waking up still, Ryan, help me out here. Who's 0:01:46.537 --> 0:01:48.617 going to be the vice president for Donald Trump? 0:01:50.257 --> 0:01:52.777 So there's a lot of conversations going on in are 0:01:52.817 --> 0:01:54.897 al igoing in Trump World about this, and this is 0:01:54.897 --> 0:01:58.977 the general opinion. Trump has said multiple times that he 0:01:59.057 --> 0:02:02.657 doesn't think a vice president does anything or adds value 0:02:02.817 --> 0:02:06.297 to a ticket. His opinion is is that no one's 0:02:06.297 --> 0:02:08.297 ready for the vice president. They're ready for the president. 0:02:08.297 --> 0:02:11.217 So I should pick who I like, who was strategically 0:02:11.257 --> 0:02:14.377 smart for me. And there is some merit to that 0:02:14.377 --> 0:02:16.817 Trump is not entirely wrong. People don't vote for the 0:02:16.857 --> 0:02:20.857 vice president, they vote for the president. So Trump and 0:02:20.937 --> 0:02:24.217 Trump has been reflecting a lot on Mike Pence in 0:02:24.217 --> 0:02:27.497 his relationship with Pence. He didn't dislike Pence, and Pence 0:02:27.537 --> 0:02:30.937 definitely brought some credibility maybe evangelicals to the ticket. I 0:02:30.937 --> 0:02:33.217 don't think he would not have voted him without Pence, 0:02:33.257 --> 0:02:36.737 but he definitely brought some credibility. Trump doesn't need credibility 0:02:36.777 --> 0:02:39.377 from those people anymore, and he didn't. He was never 0:02:39.497 --> 0:02:41.897 best friends with Mike Pence. He didn't dislike him, but 0:02:41.937 --> 0:02:45.817 they did not vibe in any capacity. So and he 0:02:45.897 --> 0:02:47.897 used to make fun of how Pence would call his 0:02:47.937 --> 0:02:50.617 wife Karen Pen's mother, And he would make fun of that. 0:02:50.697 --> 0:02:52.617 He just didn't. It was never comfortable with him as 0:02:52.617 --> 0:02:52.777 a man. 0:02:52.897 --> 0:02:55.017 He really would hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. 0:02:55.217 --> 0:02:59.297 Pence called his own wife mother, Oh. 0:02:59.217 --> 0:03:03.977 Pence, does Pence calls Karen Pen's mother? Yes? Why? Trump 0:03:04.097 --> 0:03:06.377 used to say, mother is not going to like this? Yeah? 0:03:06.497 --> 0:03:09.777 About Yes, he calls why why? Why not like wife? 0:03:09.817 --> 0:03:10.857 Why what'd he call her mother? 0:03:11.817 --> 0:03:13.697 I don't know he calls her mother. It's very well 0:03:13.737 --> 0:03:14.737 known he calls Okay. 0:03:14.777 --> 0:03:16.617 I mean, look, I mean I don't know. The guy 0:03:16.657 --> 0:03:18.617 apparently has a very solid marrier. I'm not I'm not 0:03:18.617 --> 0:03:20.617 trying to cast dispersions or anything. He seems like a 0:03:20.657 --> 0:03:22.577 nice guy. I just that just strikes me as a 0:03:22.577 --> 0:03:26.537 little odd. That's all. Anyone go ahead, Yeah, yeah, exactly. 0:03:26.617 --> 0:03:28.617 It strikes Trump as very odd to and a lot 0:03:28.617 --> 0:03:31.257 of things that Mike Pence did Trump as a little so. 0:03:31.817 --> 0:03:34.777 One thing, even Trump haters after Trump is pretty funny. Actually, 0:03:34.817 --> 0:03:35.537 he's pretty funny. 0:03:35.537 --> 0:03:37.577 Oh yeah, Trump is very funny. So yeah, so he 0:03:37.617 --> 0:03:39.977 sat there and was like, you know, whatever you say, Well, 0:03:40.097 --> 0:03:43.697 mother's not gonna like this Trump would say about anyway. 0:03:43.937 --> 0:03:47.617 So whatever the case is, he really wants somebody who 0:03:47.657 --> 0:03:51.577 he personally enjoys being around. He wants somebody who he 0:03:51.657 --> 0:03:54.537 considers a comrade in the front, and someone who is 0:03:54.657 --> 0:03:59.377 very very loyal. Trump probably correctly believes that even if 0:03:59.377 --> 0:04:01.657 he's the president again, Democrats are going to try to 0:04:01.657 --> 0:04:03.497 put him in jail for the rest of his earthly 0:04:03.577 --> 0:04:07.017 life no matter what happens. So he wants somebody who 0:04:07.017 --> 0:04:09.457 if they becomes a president, sorry I put my camera, 0:04:09.697 --> 0:04:13.057 if they becomes the president. After he's the president, they 0:04:13.097 --> 0:04:17.777 will pardon him almost for anything, because Democracy believes wants 0:04:17.817 --> 0:04:21.937 to to to put him in jail. So that is 0:04:22.097 --> 0:04:24.897 also another criteria he has been thinking about. So on 0:04:24.937 --> 0:04:27.577 the list right now, people who have been seriously considered 0:04:27.617 --> 0:04:29.977 a mention in mar Alago. It is Marco Rubio, it 0:04:30.057 --> 0:04:34.897 is Christy Noan, it is elast staphonic, it is Tim Scott, 0:04:35.097 --> 0:04:41.057 it is Marsha Blackburn, Katie not Katy, Katy Britt and 0:04:41.177 --> 0:04:43.657 JD Vans. Those are the seven. The people I will 0:04:43.697 --> 0:04:47.897 put in the serious category are elist dephonic, Tim Scott 0:04:48.017 --> 0:04:49.097 and Jdvans. 0:04:50.297 --> 0:04:54.657 If you have to tell me right now of those options, 0:04:54.697 --> 0:04:56.497 the one that if you had to place your money 0:04:56.497 --> 0:04:58.457 on one, just as in a betting sense, who would 0:04:58.497 --> 0:04:58.697 it be? 0:04:59.177 --> 0:05:02.497 Yeah, Jdvans, JD Vance. 0:05:03.097 --> 0:05:05.617 That makes sense to me based on you know, we 0:05:05.737 --> 0:05:08.537 just had JD on radio got a couple of days ago, 0:05:08.537 --> 0:05:12.457 I can't remember now. And you know he's very aligned 0:05:12.457 --> 0:05:16.137 with Trump on things. He's the younger generation. I think 0:05:16.137 --> 0:05:17.897 he knows how to deal with Trump. I mean the 0:05:18.017 --> 0:05:19.977 least dephonic thing. I just look at this and I say, 0:05:19.977 --> 0:05:22.857 at least aphonic is like a left wing Republican. If 0:05:22.857 --> 0:05:24.617 there is such a thing. She's pretty liberal. 0:05:25.857 --> 0:05:28.137 Yeah, I mean, at least Defonic has had the biggest 0:05:28.137 --> 0:05:30.657 transformation of anybody in the House. She went from voting 0:05:30.697 --> 0:05:33.977 against the wall and voting as basically everything Trump said 0:05:34.217 --> 0:05:36.617 and trying to get an amnesty voted through to being 0:05:36.657 --> 0:05:40.017 Trump's biggest defender and a complete you know, support, And 0:05:40.017 --> 0:05:43.017 she's got She's gotten a lot of positive and well 0:05:43.017 --> 0:05:46.857 deserved accolades for the Idea League University. So she has 0:05:46.897 --> 0:05:48.977 done things in the last few years that have been 0:05:49.297 --> 0:05:52.057 very positive for herself. And she's a very ambitious woman. 0:05:52.737 --> 0:05:57.137 But Trump really likes JD. Vans. They one. They agree 0:05:57.177 --> 0:05:59.777 on a lot of issues, big issues like foreign policy 0:06:00.017 --> 0:06:02.457 that he probably doesn't agree with Tim Scott on or 0:06:03.417 --> 0:06:06.417 possibly most of the people on the list. He doesn't. 0:06:07.017 --> 0:06:09.377 He really agrees on immigration, and he really grewes him 0:06:09.417 --> 0:06:14.057 on trade and general worldview. And Trump has a thing 0:06:14.097 --> 0:06:15.657 that he likes to say all the time. He says 0:06:15.657 --> 0:06:17.737 that people come out of central casting. It's one of 0:06:17.777 --> 0:06:20.537 his favorite slogans to say, oh, they're at a central casting. 0:06:20.777 --> 0:06:23.257 He thinks that JD is out of central casting for 0:06:23.337 --> 0:06:26.417 what a vice president would look like, and has commented 0:06:26.457 --> 0:06:29.257 on that a number of times, and oftentimes appearance. Appearance 0:06:29.297 --> 0:06:30.577 matters a lot to Donald Trump. 0:06:31.377 --> 0:06:33.337 I feel like, then, don't I look like a vice president? 0:06:33.377 --> 0:06:35.697 Like why isn't he? You know, Jady and I are 0:06:35.697 --> 0:06:38.137 pretty similar, you know, why aren't I? In contention, it's 0:06:38.137 --> 0:06:38.657 a little sad. 0:06:38.937 --> 0:06:41.097 I mean, you should be throwing your hat and making 0:06:41.337 --> 0:06:46.017 more trips at you. But but that matter. Appearance matters 0:06:46.017 --> 0:06:49.337 a lot to him, and he thinks that JJ's tall 0:06:49.457 --> 0:06:52.617 and needs good looking, and as you know, it helps. 0:06:52.697 --> 0:06:55.097 He also doesn't help necessarily with Trump, but it does 0:06:55.097 --> 0:06:56.817 maybe help in a national thing he's got. He's got a 0:06:56.857 --> 0:06:59.937 biracial family, he's got biracial children, his wife is Indian, 0:07:01.337 --> 0:07:03.857 so that all those things could very much matter. And 0:07:03.857 --> 0:07:06.857 his life story, his backstory is extremely compelling. And when 0:07:06.857 --> 0:07:08.537 he's been in the Senate, he has been a real, 0:07:09.017 --> 0:07:11.137 you know, big advocate again end of the Ukraine War 0:07:11.217 --> 0:07:13.817 and also providing relief on rail reform and doing five 0:07:13.857 --> 0:07:17.777 power partisan things on that. So I mean, there there's 0:07:17.817 --> 0:07:20.017 a case to be made of him as the series, 0:07:20.097 --> 0:07:23.657 as the top contender among the bunch. 0:07:24.897 --> 0:07:28.217 That's pretty amazing, really, you know, you wouldn't have thought, 0:07:28.297 --> 0:07:31.617 especially because JD is also a reformed Trump supporter from 0:07:31.657 --> 0:07:34.777 the early days when he was a very vocal critic 0:07:35.417 --> 0:07:38.017 of Trump back in twenty sixteen. I get the sense 0:07:38.057 --> 0:07:42.417 that Trump, that Trump loves Trump converts more than anybody else, 0:07:42.617 --> 0:07:44.657 and so on the right at least, if you go 0:07:44.897 --> 0:07:47.497 if you love Trump, if you go full Trump when 0:07:47.537 --> 0:07:50.297 you initially resisted, I think he's a big fan of 0:07:50.297 --> 0:07:50.857 those people. 0:07:51.897 --> 0:07:57.217 Trump does not appreciate cheap dates. So if you are 0:07:58.177 --> 0:08:01.497 just you know, let's say something really crasp on the 0:08:01.537 --> 0:08:05.097 holding back, if you are just trying to, you know, 0:08:05.217 --> 0:08:08.177 worship him every single second of everything day. He likes that, 0:08:08.257 --> 0:08:11.257 he likes the adulation, but he does doesn't respect it. 0:08:11.497 --> 0:08:15.417 People in the media who praise him NonStop, he shits 0:08:15.417 --> 0:08:18.137 on them the minute the doors are shut. Like that is, 0:08:18.257 --> 0:08:22.057 he does not enjoy and it doesn't respect people who 0:08:22.137 --> 0:08:24.417 he feels that he doesn't have to work for their love. 0:08:25.537 --> 0:08:28.457 Someone I know who was very high up in the 0:08:28.497 --> 0:08:30.937 last administration and got a lot of what they want 0:08:30.977 --> 0:08:33.657 in the last administration told me one time, you need 0:08:33.697 --> 0:08:36.697 to treat Trump like a very good looking girl in 0:08:36.777 --> 0:08:40.897 high school and just ignore, ignore them, and ignore him, 0:08:41.217 --> 0:08:44.817 and he will want your attention so badly it will 0:08:44.897 --> 0:08:48.817 drive him crazy. And that is that has been That 0:08:48.897 --> 0:08:52.017 worked for my friend who is in the administration, but 0:08:52.017 --> 0:08:54.537 it's worked for a lot of people. He really respects people. 0:08:54.657 --> 0:08:57.417 He has won over much more than people who have 0:08:57.457 --> 0:09:00.057 been eating out of his hands from day one. 0:09:00.297 --> 0:09:04.937 Let's talk about the bill that the Senate tried to 0:09:05.097 --> 0:09:06.697 pass earlier this week. We'll get to that in the 0:09:06.697 --> 0:09:11.057 second year. Do you feel that before I show you 0:09:11.057 --> 0:09:13.497 you silly man? You are No, It's okay, I'm just kidding. 0:09:13.537 --> 0:09:16.177 Go ahead, No, go ahead, it's a podcast. 0:09:16.857 --> 0:09:18.897 Yeah. No, I was just thinking because we were talking 0:09:18.937 --> 0:09:22.377 before before the show about influencers, right, and this is 0:09:23.177 --> 0:09:29.017 why I think our influencer culture has become so immensely toxic. 0:09:29.737 --> 0:09:33.137 Is because people will not tell the truth because they're 0:09:33.137 --> 0:09:38.017 afraid of losing access to people in power. They believe 0:09:38.017 --> 0:09:40.657 people in power will hold them future jobs. And because 0:09:40.697 --> 0:09:43.457 there is a business model right now where if you 0:09:43.497 --> 0:09:45.777 can get five thousand to ten thousand people to believe 0:09:45.777 --> 0:09:49.497 that you are the curator of the truth and honesty, 0:09:49.617 --> 0:09:51.977 you have to serve them like the purest heroine all 0:09:52.017 --> 0:09:55.577 the time without any facts related to it. Otherwise somebody 0:09:55.617 --> 0:09:57.897 will and I think that's why our influencer cultures become 0:09:58.017 --> 0:10:00.977 so incredibly toxic right now. 0:10:01.217 --> 0:10:05.057 Oh yeah, I know that there's a there's a a 0:10:05.097 --> 0:10:09.977 purity contest for all things MAGA for sure, and the 0:10:10.057 --> 0:10:15.537 there's also the weird correlation on the right for people 0:10:15.577 --> 0:10:18.977 now where if you don't believe every conspiracy theory, like 0:10:19.257 --> 0:10:21.337 I I am the first one to say I think 0:10:21.337 --> 0:10:24.217 there's an Epstein conspiracy that goes way beyond what we've 0:10:24.257 --> 0:10:26.297 been told, like like I do. I'm not something who 0:10:26.297 --> 0:10:29.257 says there are no conspiracies or you know, oh it's 0:10:29.257 --> 0:10:32.137 all it's all you know, hocus pocus or hogwasher or whatever. 0:10:32.577 --> 0:10:33.977 But we've reached a point I think in the right 0:10:34.017 --> 0:10:36.857 now where every conspiracy know the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey thing, 0:10:36.897 --> 0:10:39.297 there's some conspiracy to give Joe Bond the election. I'm like, 0:10:39.497 --> 0:10:43.337 when when did people become so crazy? And if you 0:10:43.377 --> 0:10:47.257 don't believe this, you're like a uniparty stooge who might 0:10:47.297 --> 0:10:50.337 as well be at the World Economic Forum, uh, you know, 0:10:50.457 --> 0:10:52.977 traveling around with the Davo set, et cetera. It's just 0:10:53.017 --> 0:10:55.417 crazy to me, right, I mean, you need. 0:10:55.337 --> 0:10:57.817 To serve your your audience and Also, there is a 0:10:57.857 --> 0:11:01.537 big thing people think that influencers like to think that 0:11:01.577 --> 0:11:04.977 they're leading a crowd, when in fact they're following it. 0:11:05.097 --> 0:11:07.657 They have to follow their own crowd because if they 0:11:07.657 --> 0:11:10.457 turn against them, they lose everything. So you can never 0:11:10.657 --> 0:11:14.177 not change course. You have to go full steam ahead, 0:11:14.577 --> 0:11:17.897 hard as it can possibly be to try and keep 0:11:17.937 --> 0:11:19.857 that audience and retain that audience, because if you can 0:11:19.857 --> 0:11:21.777 get ten thousand people to give you three dollars a month, 0:11:21.817 --> 0:11:24.097 four thousand dollars a month, you've got a serious business 0:11:24.177 --> 0:11:26.937 going on. But you can't ever lose that. So you've 0:11:26.977 --> 0:11:29.337 got to sit there and if you know, if you 0:11:29.337 --> 0:11:32.537 know me, if it means saying that Travis Kelsey's working 0:11:32.617 --> 0:11:35.257 with the CIA and everyone's in this game so they 0:11:35.257 --> 0:11:38.217 can prote Taylor Swift like, you got to say bad 0:11:38.337 --> 0:11:42.337 things constantly in order to you know, keep that gravy 0:11:42.337 --> 0:11:44.457 train going. You can't let it go because that's all 0:11:44.457 --> 0:11:45.457 you got all right. 0:11:45.497 --> 0:11:49.217 Now, Next, you're gonna tell me about the Senate why 0:11:49.257 --> 0:11:53.057 they're doing this, why Ukraine funding matters so much to them. Also, 0:11:53.097 --> 0:11:54.697 I asked it on radio, just you know, so I 0:11:55.177 --> 0:11:56.817 can soone at some point just tell me why are 0:11:56.817 --> 0:12:00.657 we sending Israel seventeen billion dollars. We'll get we'll get 0:12:00.697 --> 0:12:02.097 to that. You don't have to answer it. But I 0:12:02.177 --> 0:12:04.457 just and no one can say that I'm not very 0:12:04.497 --> 0:12:07.897 pro Israel and that I'm you know, a good friend 0:12:08.017 --> 0:12:10.497 or the Jewish state. I mean, I'm like, take these 0:12:10.537 --> 0:12:13.817 hamas pieces of garbage and you know, and and take 0:12:13.857 --> 0:12:17.897 them off the battlefield. But anyway, I do think you know, oh, 0:12:17.937 --> 0:12:19.337 all of a sudden, we're not allowed to talk about 0:12:19.337 --> 0:12:22.537 where money's going. Hold on, do you feel prepared speaking 0:12:22.577 --> 0:12:24.377 about money? With everything going on in the country, you 0:12:24.417 --> 0:12:26.457 find yourself thinking about how to protect yourself and your 0:12:26.457 --> 0:12:30.817 family financially or otherwise. One form of financial protection is diversification. 0:12:31.377 --> 0:12:34.217 Gold has often been used to protect assets against inflation. 0:12:34.297 --> 0:12:37.057 It's a global reserve asset and countries are buying massive 0:12:37.057 --> 0:12:39.777 amounts of gold as a hedge against financial collapse. Time 0:12:39.857 --> 0:12:43.417 to protect yourself and invest in gold. Stop just assuming 0:12:43.457 --> 0:12:45.497 things are gonna get better. Look at inflation, look at 0:12:45.497 --> 0:12:48.097 what's going on. Have some gold on hand. Let's then 0:12:48.217 --> 0:12:50.617 go crazy and you know, pile everything into gold, diversify 0:12:50.697 --> 0:12:53.297 with it. I have some gold, You should have some gold, 0:12:53.377 --> 0:12:56.417 some precious metals and you can actually have it in 0:12:56.417 --> 0:12:58.857 your four oh one k as well.

All right, So why were 0:13:18.177 --> 0:13:21.537 they burning the midnight oil Republicans in the Senate. I 0:13:21.737 --> 0:13:24.417 was about a dozen of them who were all trying 0:13:24.457 --> 0:13:27.337 to make sure where it was like eleven twelve something 0:13:27.337 --> 0:13:27.937 of that wasn't it? 0:13:27.937 --> 0:13:30.057 It was more than twelve, but I forget the exact 0:13:30.137 --> 0:13:31.777 unt to look it up, but it is more than twelve. 0:13:32.897 --> 0:13:34.297 Six voted against them. 0:13:34.417 --> 0:13:38.937 Okay, So why why are they so hell bent on 0:13:39.577 --> 0:13:43.417 getting this supplement? Let's let's start with Ukraine and how 0:13:43.417 --> 0:13:46.657 there's this enormous disconnect because the Republican base, you bring 0:13:46.737 --> 0:13:49.617 up funding Ukraine, the open end war in Ukraine, and 0:13:49.897 --> 0:13:54.017 and people start booing, and yet Republican senators, a whole 0:13:54.017 --> 0:13:56.897 bunch of them, think that this is like World War two, 0:13:56.897 --> 0:14:00.097 when we're fighting the Nazis by funding Ukraine, although there's 0:14:00.097 --> 0:14:01.937 a whole well they believe, yeah. 0:14:01.697 --> 0:14:04.497 Well they believe or fighting the Soviet Union by fighting Russia. 0:14:05.057 --> 0:14:08.297 And you know, there's a lot of people on the 0:14:08.377 --> 0:14:11.257 on the on the National Secure right, from Nikki Haley 0:14:11.297 --> 0:14:14.977 onwards and Mitch McConnell who believe that if we fight Russia, 0:14:15.017 --> 0:14:19.857 we fight China, which is completely incoherent and totally not true. 0:14:20.417 --> 0:14:23.457 But there is a my one of one of my 0:14:23.617 --> 0:14:26.137 many problems in Jdvan's not to talk about him again, 0:14:26.177 --> 0:14:30.297 but he did reference this yesterday in the speech. Ukraine 0:14:30.377 --> 0:14:32.897 has a has a birth deficit. In order to be 0:14:33.017 --> 0:14:35.577 in order for a country to be at replacement levels, 0:14:35.697 --> 0:14:37.697 an average a woman needs to give an average of 0:14:37.737 --> 0:14:41.497 two point one children on average in mass per children 0:14:41.537 --> 0:14:44.377 per lifetime give birth to them. Ukraine has not had 0:14:44.377 --> 0:14:46.617 that level since the end of the Soviet Union. They've 0:14:46.617 --> 0:14:49.137 had almost twenty five straight years of birth decline and 0:14:49.177 --> 0:14:54.897 population decline. There is every man between the ages of 0:14:55.017 --> 0:14:58.737 eighteen forty has either fled the country or is fighting 0:14:58.897 --> 0:15:01.577 and dying to do it. They are going to go 0:15:01.697 --> 0:15:08.457 through a catastrophic and almost unmodernly unseen demographic winter in 0:15:08.497 --> 0:15:11.857 the next ten to twenty years, because an entire generation 0:15:12.017 --> 0:15:16.337 of Ukrainians have died or fled from this war that 0:15:16.457 --> 0:15:20.177 Zelenski has tried to get cease fires for repeatedly, but 0:15:20.257 --> 0:15:23.817 continues to fight it and enriching him and his cronies 0:15:23.857 --> 0:15:27.577 from American money. I mean, they are talking about protecting 0:15:27.737 --> 0:15:32.337 Ukrainian borders at the expense of having Ukrainian people. There 0:15:32.377 --> 0:15:34.937 will not be a future Ukrainian people. It will be 0:15:34.977 --> 0:15:38.777 an empty wasteland because of the war that Mitch McConnell 0:15:38.817 --> 0:15:42.817 and Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer are promoting endlessly. It 0:15:43.297 --> 0:15:45.737 is literally the death of a people we are witnessing 0:15:45.937 --> 0:15:49.017 and they're probably going to lose Their population will decline 0:15:49.097 --> 0:15:52.857 upwards of ten million people within which about twenty percent 0:15:52.857 --> 0:15:56.017 of the population in a period of in a period 0:15:56.017 --> 0:15:58.257 of a few decades. It's going to be rapid, and 0:15:58.297 --> 0:15:59.937 it's going to be very very intense, and it's going 0:15:59.937 --> 0:16:03.177 to be a complete economic and social collapse in one 0:16:03.217 --> 0:16:04.417 country because of this war. 0:16:04.857 --> 0:16:09.737 We sat with Stalin at Yalta right and divvied up, 0:16:10.257 --> 0:16:12.057 you know, divvied up the world at the end of 0:16:12.097 --> 0:16:16.657 the Second World War. Why not sit down and have 0:16:16.697 --> 0:16:19.377 a conversation with Putin about how to end this thing. 0:16:19.617 --> 0:16:22.897 It feels like, I know, Tucker in his interview had 0:16:22.937 --> 0:16:25.617 Putin tell him directly, and ever, oh my gosh, they 0:16:25.657 --> 0:16:27.097 were all, how could he talk to Putin? And they 0:16:27.137 --> 0:16:30.057 know all that. But Putin says that there was a 0:16:30.097 --> 0:16:31.897 plan on the table. We should know was there a 0:16:31.897 --> 0:16:34.257 plan on the table? Because if there is, then Putin's 0:16:34.257 --> 0:16:36.177 just a huge liar and why were we even talking about it? 0:16:36.217 --> 0:16:38.217 But if there is, that seems like a pretty big deal. 0:16:39.217 --> 0:16:41.737 There was a plan on the table. Kron was really 0:16:41.777 --> 0:16:45.577 working very very hard to get a ceasefire done over 0:16:45.617 --> 0:16:48.657 a year ago, and Zelenski was all for it before 0:16:48.697 --> 0:16:51.937 the American machine of money kept on going. They are 0:16:51.937 --> 0:16:54.817 in a rush to get this bill done because if 0:16:54.857 --> 0:16:57.257 they do not get it done, Ukraine is going to 0:16:57.337 --> 0:17:00.217 go to the table right now with a ceasefire. Is 0:17:00.217 --> 0:17:03.457 the only thing keeping this war going is endless, not 0:17:03.497 --> 0:17:06.057 even American money. It's money we're borrowing from China to 0:17:06.097 --> 0:17:09.577 give to Ukraine, but that American paycheck is the only 0:17:09.697 --> 0:17:11.697 thing that is keeping this war moving at this point. 0:17:11.817 --> 0:17:16.337 And so otherwise and Russia will annex the three providences 0:17:15.697 --> 0:17:19.137 of eastern Ukraine that they want and it will be over. 0:17:19.377 --> 0:17:21.577 But if it does not end, there will I mean 0:17:21.977 --> 0:17:24.537 it will literally be like the loss of like seventy 0:17:24.537 --> 0:17:27.097 five million Americans all between the years of like eighteen 0:17:27.137 --> 0:17:30.777 and forty of mostly men. That is how catastrophic their 0:17:30.817 --> 0:17:32.217 population decline is going to happen. 0:17:32.217 --> 0:17:37.057 What what does Ukraine gain by continuing to fight if 0:17:37.097 --> 0:17:41.417 there's the possibility of a you know, look, do I 0:17:41.417 --> 0:17:45.017 think that it's crappy for Ukraine? And that's an understatement 0:17:45.457 --> 0:17:49.417 that they'll lose territory and they'll, yes, but war as 0:17:49.457 --> 0:17:52.257 hell and the world is a tough place, and sometimes 0:17:52.257 --> 0:17:53.857 you lose and you have to figure out a way 0:17:53.857 --> 0:17:56.177 to move forward, right. You know, look at Japan. Japan 0:17:56.217 --> 0:17:58.497 could have said, oh my god, you nuked us, and 0:17:58.697 --> 0:18:01.297 you know, now, look they started an aggressive war against us. 0:18:01.297 --> 0:18:04.377 But the point being they decided to move forward. They're 0:18:04.377 --> 0:18:06.497 now one of our closest allies actually in the world. 0:18:06.577 --> 0:18:10.417 And you know, things change, right, So what they get 0:18:10.417 --> 0:18:12.417 from continuing to fight if they can't win, I guess 0:18:12.537 --> 0:18:13.977 is the fun. And they can't win and they can't 0:18:13.977 --> 0:18:16.777 gain any ground, so it's just right. 0:18:16.857 --> 0:18:18.857 They haven't earned I think. I don't think I've moved 0:18:18.857 --> 0:18:21.857 to foot in like six months or seven months. It's 0:18:21.897 --> 0:18:26.537 been a complete stalemate at the border. I mean, do you. 0:18:26.617 --> 0:18:29.817 I mean, if you read the reports, there are hundreds 0:18:29.857 --> 0:18:33.017 of millions of dollars missing in these in these contracts 0:18:33.057 --> 0:18:35.897 we're sending over there, and they don't know where who 0:18:35.977 --> 0:18:37.777 is getting all of this money. I mean, there's a 0:18:37.817 --> 0:18:42.417 life changing amount of money that I imagine Ukrainian oligarchs in 0:18:42.457 --> 0:18:45.897 close percent approximated to Zelensky are getting. Zelensky's getting the 0:18:46.777 --> 0:18:48.817 edulation of the entire world and the praise in the 0:18:48.937 --> 0:18:51.177 entire world. I'll tell you the story. I was in Washington, 0:18:51.217 --> 0:18:54.497 d C. When the war started. In Zelenski addressed the 0:18:54.617 --> 0:18:57.417 Joint Session of Congress, and I was at a Republican 0:18:57.457 --> 0:19:01.617 meeting a Republican congressman, and one congressman got up and goes, 0:19:01.657 --> 0:19:03.977 we need to get a bust of Zelenski in the 0:19:04.057 --> 0:19:07.617 capital of Vertunda, near Winston Churchill, because that's who he 0:19:07.657 --> 0:19:13.257 most resembled. A lot of congressmen are very much in 0:19:13.337 --> 0:19:16.417 a Cold War mindset still, and they don't realize the 0:19:16.457 --> 0:19:20.097 detrimental changes to the world over the last thirty years 0:19:20.097 --> 0:19:22.457 since the end of the Cold War, and how that 0:19:22.497 --> 0:19:25.137 will be a much larger impact than anything happening on 0:19:25.177 --> 0:19:26.937 the border of Ukraine and Russia right now. 0:19:27.457 --> 0:19:30.457 I also, I keep hearing people will say out loud. 0:19:30.457 --> 0:19:32.777 I think Nikki Halias said this. There are others who say, 0:19:32.817 --> 0:19:36.297 if we don't stop them in Ukraine, Poland is next, 0:19:36.377 --> 0:19:39.497 And I'm like, that is insane. That is that is 0:19:39.697 --> 0:19:44.537 crazy talk, right, this is it would be like, you know, 0:19:44.937 --> 0:19:47.657 I don't know. It would be like saying, if we 0:19:47.697 --> 0:19:50.537 don't you know, get if we don't stop the Huthies 0:19:50.577 --> 0:19:53.457 from fighting the government in Yemen, like next stop is 0:19:53.457 --> 0:19:55.377 the United Kingdom. Like no, I don't think they're gonna 0:19:55.377 --> 0:19:57.257 be able to take them over, Like that's not gonna happen. 0:19:57.297 --> 0:19:59.497 There's just that has always been what they've been saying. 0:19:59.577 --> 0:20:02.297 I mean, I'm old enough now which to remember the 0:20:02.337 --> 0:20:05.777 first early days of the of the war against terrorism 0:20:05.857 --> 0:20:07.977 and if we don't fight them over there, they'll fight 0:20:08.017 --> 0:20:10.897 them over here. But Poland doesn't even believe that. No one, 0:20:11.137 --> 0:20:15.297 no Western leader believes that Poland is next. Certainly Poland doesn't. 0:20:15.537 --> 0:20:17.657 I mean a lot of countries like Finland are joining 0:20:17.697 --> 0:20:21.777 NATO now as a protection. But if they really believe that, 0:20:22.137 --> 0:20:25.617
