In this week's show, we have new details about Joe Biden's attempt to get a prosecutor fired from his campaign, a bizarre story about a UFO sighting, and a story about how a journalist who was in Ukraine was arrested and is now on the run in a long tweet thread describing how he was tortured.
00:01:14.000And now you've got Oliver Stone saying he regrets voting for Biden because Biden may be starting World War 3.
00:01:20.000And then on top of that, I'm throwing this in for good measure, there's a ridiculous article about a UFO nearly starting World War 3 by like taking control of missiles, but you know how much we love our stupid distractions.
00:01:31.000And now we've got the story of a journalist.
00:01:33.000Who was in Ukraine, was arrested, and just recently got out and is on the run in a long Twitter thread describing how he was tortured.
00:01:52.000Casperoo is our coffee brand, and we are launching our coffee shop.

00:02:05.000We were able to get the pumpkin spice back in stock.
00:02:08.000But the Stand Your Ground's medium roast sold like hotcakes, I suppose.

00:02:35.000And it's also just Not so family-friendly can be a little bit spicy, so you don't want to miss those.
00:02:49.000I'm excited to be on, long-time listener.
00:02:53.000Yeah, so if you probably don't know me, because I don't have a huge following, but I go to the State Department, I go to the Pentagon, I'm a reporter for the Gray Zone, and I ask them questions, and I, you know, try to do the job of a journalist, which is hold the powerful accountable.
00:03:10.000And, you know, not many people in those briefing rooms seem to be doing that, but yeah, thanks for having me.
00:04:06.000You might want to slow down, though, because 12 in one week?
00:04:10.000Yeah, it was 5 pounds on Friday night and then 5 pounds on Saturday, because I ate like three days' worth of food.
00:04:16.000Yeah, but that's probably just like you put food in your stomach and then weighed yourself.
00:04:19.000What happened was I worked out all week, and I ate 1,800 calories, and then on the weekend I just loaded calories, like ate three times as much as normal, and then I put on 10 pounds.
00:04:32.000You should weigh yourself at the same time every day like in the morning like after you go to the bathroom so that way you're kind of like in the same state like as empty of a stomach as you can get and do that like for a week or two and then you get a really good idea of how much you actually weigh as opposed to like varying because of water.
00:05:35.000I mean, you're going to stop making testosterone eventually anyways.
00:05:37.000Yeah, but what you do is, well, my understanding, and always talk to your doctor, because I'm not a nutritionist, but more fat in your diet, and then they have natural supplements that, like, there are things you can get that aren't testosterone, but it's what your body needs to make testosterone.
00:06:00.000We got this one from Fox News, ladies and gentlemen.
00:06:02.000This is probably the biggest bombshell out of the Devin Archer testimony.
00:06:06.000I mean, that's actually hard to say because we know that in this testimony we learned Joe Biden was on the phone 20 plus times in these business meetings while VP, but this one is shocking.
00:06:19.000Devin Archer says Hunter Biden and Burisma execs called D.C.
00:06:50.000And I remember going over, convincing our team, our others too, convincing us that we should be providing for loan guarantees.
00:07:00.000And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kiev, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion-dollar loan guarantee.
00:07:10.000And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.
00:07:52.000So, uh, that argument we heard over and over again from liberals, that it was just US policy to fire that prosecutor.
00:08:00.000Now, I gotta say, that was never backed up by anything.
00:08:04.000Why did the US want the prosecutor fired?
00:08:05.000So, I argued about this, like, years ago, whenever this came out, with a kind of a mainstream liberal friend of mine, and he said what you just said.
00:08:13.000He was like, you know, the entire, like, everyone in the US But this makes sense.
00:08:18.000If you look at Burisma as an arm of U.S.
00:08:54.000But when you get to the brass tacks of it, corrupt institutions which were enriching people's private interests Called up their buddies in DC, or their dad, and said, this guy is getting in the way to 10% for the big guy.
00:09:09.000So we've got Tony Bobulinski, this is one of the Hunter Biden associates saying outright, he's in on it.
00:09:15.000You've got the emails, 10% held by, by, what does it say, HB for the big guy, is that what it said?
00:09:20.000Was that, was that Burisma though, or is that the China thing?
00:09:23.00010% for the big guy I think was a China deal.
00:09:25.000My point specifically though is we can see in these business dealings there is evidence that Joe Biden is personally benefiting.
00:09:31.000We also have the text from Hunter Biden where he said something to the effect of dad taking his salary or things like that.
00:09:37.000So he's acting as a proxy for Joe Biden while Joe Biden was in government.
00:09:41.000Joe Biden personally goes and gets the prosecutor fired who was investigating the company where his son was getting $83,000 a month.
00:09:49.000Devin Archer testified before Congress.
00:09:52.000And the huge thing, but also real quick, if you just watch that clip and just listen to Joe Biden's tone in that clip, it's like he's just acting like he's talking to his nephew.
00:10:04.000He's just bragging, brazenly bragging.
00:10:08.000He's like, I gotta leave in about six minutes.
00:10:13.000He's like, He sounds like a mafia guy who's, like, proud of, like— That's probably— It really does sound like a line written for, like, a— A mafia movie.
00:10:22.000He's, like— Listen, Joe, if you don't fire the guy in six minutes, you ain't getting the money.
00:10:26.000Yeah, he's, like, talking shit just publicly about what Trump was impeached over.
00:10:31.000That speaks to the way that politics in Washington, D.C.
00:10:46.000It comes off as, you know, as, you know, obviously this is the case.
00:10:51.000This wasn't the first time that he behaved like that or whatever.
00:10:54.000So, I mean, it does speak to the tenor and the way business is done not just with Washington but obviously internationally as well and the US if the US has one of the less corrupt governments on earth which I don't know for sure if it does or not but I know there are places that are a real mess but if if the US does have a less corrupt government and that's the way that business is handled
00:11:23.000Among you know someone that was the vice president who'd been in in DC for 45 years at that at that point or whatever then you know that just imagine the rest of the world the rest of the world's a mess and you know Ukraine is a Absolute pig sty because everyone knows that Ukraine is is Well, everyone is aware of the the root the the story or narrative that Ukraine is one of the more most corrupt governments in the world 100%.
00:11:47.000And I don't know, but I would assume Russia is, too.
00:11:51.000But, like, that's why, you know, it's so crazy that, like, we're involved in this war in the first place, because we're talking about two very corrupt, very authoritarian, which we can get into, like, you know, pre-war Zelensky's authoritarian tendencies.
00:12:09.000seems to think it needs to have a dog in this fight of, like, You know, why do we care which corrupt oligarch rules over Crimea or the Donbas?
00:12:19.000They're both, like, horribly corrupt countries to begin with.
00:12:22.000But what's interesting from this stuff, and then there was Chuck Grassley on the Senate floor the other day who talked about one of these, I think, Burisma associates, or one of Hunter Biden's associates in Ukraine, had recorded 19 phone calls, 17 with Hunter Biden, two with Joe Biden, for the purpose of blackmail.
00:14:08.000I mean, yeah, I mean, I think hopefully what would bring that bar to the left more would be, you know, educating people on the real reasons we're at war.
00:14:23.000And I don't know if it's because Did they have blackmail on Joe Biden?
00:15:28.000So in the meantime, NATO expands its presence in Europe, gains more control, bolsters the European economy to compete with the Chinese economic bloc, and Russia, being the easier target, goes after them right now.
00:15:41.000Funny thing is, they didn't used to be in BRICS, and they didn't used to be trying to get another currency.
00:15:45.000Like, why were they our strategic enemy ever?
00:15:56.000Just because the Soviet Union collapsed doesn't mean that the sentiments and the people there, their worlds changed.
00:16:01.000For a lot of people, the world did change.
00:16:03.000But for powerful individuals, political leaders, and the oligarchs who are seizing control, they were born and bred of this world, East versus West.
00:17:20.000So, the U.S., I would say, you know, my view of Joe Biden, or any of these presidents, save Trump, in my lifetime, it's the intelligence agencies that are running everything, and I think it's fairly obvious, and the way we've always described it, and even for Barack Obama, is that he's like, when I get in office, we're gonna bring our troops back!
00:17:38.000And then as soon as he gets in office, he sits down and they go, Mr. President, and they slap the documents in front of him and say, this is why you'll do as you're told.
00:17:45.000And then anybody who says otherwise, they just slide a picture of JFK right up and say, once again, this is why you'll do what you're told.
00:17:52.000So I do think that, I think the intelligence agencies behind the scenes, first, most of what we think we know is probably wrong.
00:17:59.000The news we're reading is probably wrong.
00:18:00.000Come on, we know they lie all the time.
00:18:02.000And we're still trying to base our perception on this war off of all of this stuff and what Joe Biden is doing.
00:18:08.000I do think the people at the CIA and the FBI want the U.S.
00:18:12.000to win and would prefer it if all of our lives were better.
00:18:16.000However, in terms of conflict, we are just assets on a battlefield.
00:18:20.000We are economic numbers, so freedom doesn't matter.
00:18:30.000But even if you're like you're at the CIA and like you think in these terms and like you you know you want to maintain the petrodollar which which makes sense why you want to maintain the petrodollar but but the risks like they don't think of the risks of like like why is the Doan boss worth risking nuclear war if you're the CIA.
00:18:53.000It could give Russia carte blanche access to the Black Sea through Crimea.
00:19:00.000But if they really solidify it that means that they're gonna make Turkey become their ally and that's a threat that Turkey will leave NATO because Turkey is the exit from the Black Sea into the Mediterranean and you can't get out without Turkey.
00:19:11.000It would be sick if Turkey got out of NATO.
00:19:14.000Yeah, that would be the end of everything.
00:19:16.000If Turkey leaves NATO and joins BRICS, I mean, we would basically bifurcate the Earth into two hemispheres of nuclear power.
00:19:59.000The issue with, you know, when I look at Ukraine, we gotta go back, and the place I typically start, and it goes back much further than this, obviously, is the Qatar-Turkey pipeline, Syria.
00:20:14.000I mean, even going back to the Mujahideen, the support of these groups so that they could fight the Soviets, et cetera, we're still in there for very similar reasons.
00:20:22.000Why is it that Syria falls into civil war?
00:20:33.000Pipeline would have gone to Europe, offset Russia's gas problem monopoly, and would have helped bolster energy and expansion, economic expansion in Europe.
00:20:43.000You then, it's no surprise that there's a counter-terrorism official from the CIA, a director who is now on the board of Burisma, an energy company.
00:21:07.000If we do not have X amount of growth, they take over.
00:21:13.000Okay, so if you take a step back, even if you're still at the CIA looking through their perspective, and you take a step back and you look at how things have gone over the last 20 years with all of these regime change efforts we undergo, we spend trillions of dollars And we just completely destroy these countries that we were hoping to kind of control, and then you look at Afghanistan, like, we pull out anyways, so it's like... But you're missing the bigger picture.
00:21:45.000The countries that bend the knee and kiss the pinky ring, we never hear about invasions or coup d'etat or anything like that because they did as they were told.
00:21:53.000It's the countries that defy the U.S., and not just the U.S., but Western powers, that face these, you know, We came, we saw, he died.
00:22:03.000That's how Hillary Clinton described it.
00:22:08.000You know, so a reason will be made and the people who don't fall in line do as they're told.
00:22:13.000Well, so what I was going to say is like, if, because you kind of said the goal is like control and money, which I guess are two different things, but if like, if they just wanted money, if like this, if like the people at these defense companies and, and, you know, CIA wherever want money, it's like, why don't they just, It's not about money.
00:22:38.000They want to see the sphere of influence of Western nations expand and maintain a unipolar domination in the planet, on the planet, on Earth.
00:22:48.000China is pushing that boundary and we are now very likely, I think it's safe to say, we are a multipolar world, meaning we now have the rise of multiple superpowers, which brings the very real risk of mass conflict and war.
00:23:02.000After World War II, we saw the rise of the liberal economic order.
00:23:06.000The intention was to prevent this from happening again.
00:23:08.000You know, they tried it with the League of Nations, United Nations.
00:23:11.000They want... Well, but okay, so on that point, they created it to prevent this from happening again, but now the evidence seems overwhelming that, like, it's the driving force for why it's happening again.
00:24:01.000It's a question of will they come here or will they expand their influence into Africa, which they're already doing, South America, the Belt and Road Initiative, and then all of a sudden in the U.S.
00:24:10.000we are constrained and can't get access to certain resources.
00:24:13.000That is their view and they say it plainly.
00:24:15.000I'm not saying they're right, but they've made their argument very clear.
00:24:17.000But also Belt and Road is like, like military bases, like Belt and Road is them like, you know, getting countries in debt, which you can say is like the U.S.
00:24:26.000Right, but I mean, like, they're building infrastructure or they're, like, influencing them to, like, you know, on international... to vote with them on international organizations.
00:24:35.000But, like, they only have, like, um... I think they only have, like, two or three foreign military bases and they're, like, artificial islands near China.
00:25:20.000There's a unipolar power structure where the West controls things through economics and through conflict and those that don't fall in line.
00:25:28.000Hillary Clinton, we came, we saw, he died.
00:25:34.000It doesn't matter if the guy across the street threw one rock at you.
00:25:39.000The moment he does, you call the police and say, I will not stand for this.
00:25:42.000Now you can argue that the guy with the rock threw it at a guy who's got 17 tanks and a bunch of RPGs lined up, but either way they're gonna be like, oh, he's throwing rocks at us!
00:25:52.000China is expanding in certain areas, their influence is growing, their economy is growing, it is a threat to the U.S., we are now facing a multipolar world, and these I view it like, after World War II, you get the liberal
00:26:06.000economic order, you get these powerful elites who are like, we are going to use this
00:26:10.000position to control everything and prevent this from happening.
00:26:13.000They pass it down to their kids, the next generation, who start to slowly screw things
00:26:16.000up, who pass it down to their kids, who have no idea what the hell they're doing, and have
00:26:29.000So they're just thinking, we better fight this war to prevent it from happening somewhere else.
00:26:33.000And you're like, okay, well, look, there's two outcomes.
00:26:36.000I suppose the parent tree is, we do nothing.
00:26:39.000Thucydides Trap dictates the likelihood of World War Three is tremendous.
00:26:42.000And then war happens, or we just start it all now.
00:26:45.000Push back and hope that holding back Russia from the Donbass and putting pressure on China stops the expansion and we don't end up in a Thucydides trap.
00:26:55.000Yeah, I, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't see, well, in Ukraine specifically, like, do you see Russia, well, certainly not Crimea.
00:27:05.000I think there's no shot Russia leaves Crimea.
00:27:07.000There's two million Russian civilians who live there.
00:27:13.000We had, I think it was Dave Smith, I think it was Dave Smith who mentioned, Russia didn't invade and take over Crimea, they stepped out the door of the military base and said, hi guys.
00:27:22.000I think like three people died or something.
00:27:24.000But it's not that, the point is that they already had a military presence there.
00:27:28.000So it was that they walked out of the military base and said, how's it going everybody?
00:27:32.000And I think they've actually had that base for hundreds of years.
00:27:53.000The challenge with those who support all this is that you go and ask any liberal who's waving a Ukrainian flag, and they won't be able to tell you the first thing.
00:28:01.000They can't point to Ukraine on the map.
00:28:03.000Yeah, I mean, that was the whole Dan Crenshaw thing of just saying I'm pro-Russia when I tried to ask him.
00:28:09.000It's just like it was like the war with Iraq and invasion of Afghanistan.
00:28:13.000It was like, are you with the terrorists or are you with us?
00:28:15.000It's like, dude, you want to invade a foreign country and kill their leader?
00:28:33.000And I will give a shout out to Dave Smith.
00:28:35.000That bar that Serge pulled up earlier with the poll, going slowly to the left, I think Dave Smith has been doing a fantastic job of describing the history of this war to people and disseminating it.
00:29:16.000Seriously, if they're sharing bank accounts, sharing email addresses, if Joe Biden is taking his son's salary, it's like the mafia, it's like the guy's talking, negotiating a deal with the other guy and he's like, listen, Don says he wants you to do this or else.
00:29:31.000And then they're like, oh, I'm not going to do anything.
00:29:33.000And then all of a sudden the Don walks in the front door and goes, how's you guys doing?
00:29:50.000So I hear your point and I agree with it, but also that claim is just not true.
00:29:54.000I mean, this was in the New York Post the other week of when apparently there's a text from one of the Burisma executives and he says to Hunter, can you ring your dad?
00:31:06.000Tim, as you were doing your mafia metaphor, it's like if the mob member was like, hey, we got a job for you, but before you go, you're going to take my son along.
00:31:15.000How is that not mafia interference with the guy's son, the mob member's son?
00:31:19.000He's bringing his son along for the game now?
00:31:22.000This crackhead is all of a sudden invited along because he's a son.
00:31:25.000The son of the boss goes to a bunch of guys who are delivery guys or drivers or meals or whatever.
00:31:31.000And it's like, I want you guys to move all this product.
00:32:05.000On, on... The quotes, or, like, any, any specific, the specific, like, the three most corrupt things that he did that we have, like, documented proof of, or extreme amounts of evidence?
00:32:14.000Well, I guess I don't know, like, you know, policy, like, which policies arose from it.
00:32:18.000I just mean, like, the text... I don't know if there's anything that originates actually from Joe, but it's just, like, the text that Tim referenced earlier of Hunter saying, um you know you know pops he's like he's talking to his nephew or his daughter or something he's like pops takes 50% of all my shit i'm not going to do that to you when you get older so i mean like why would hunter lie about that you know what i mean like that so in private texts yeah exactly and so that's one example um i guess we don't have here from new york post how joe responded to these guys need our help but oh oh but there is a timeline this so this was like
00:32:50.000It was like, um, it was like a matter of weeks later that he gave that speech we played, and he got the guy fired.
00:32:58.000Um, so yeah, I mean, the timeline lines up as well.
00:33:00.000Like, Dad, these guys need our support.
00:33:02.000A couple weeks go by, the prosecutor's fired.
00:33:05.000I love that they're like, Joe was on the phone with Hunter's associates a couple dozen times.
00:34:08.000The evidence is overwhelming that it's worth having hearings about and, you know, you can barely get... Democrats don't even want to, you know, hear the evidence.
00:34:20.000So I just... I hate the fact that I'm black-pilling.
00:34:22.000Did you say at the beginning, though, that you think they are going to replace Joe Biden?
00:34:26.000No, no, I said unless they're going to.
00:34:28.000Unless they start to really, like, wind up Gavin Newsom or whatever.
00:34:33.000I love that Harry Sisson guy, because he's like 20, but he's got the education of like a third grader.
00:34:40.000And I'm not saying to be mean, I'm saying quite literally, he tweeted out that, oh, was it Alito?
00:34:45.000Supreme Court said that Congress has no authority to regulate them, and he was shocked by it, and I'm like, bro, we learned that in like second grade.
00:34:51.000It's called the branches of government.
00:34:54.000They're all equal branches of government.
00:35:12.000It's like, dude, you know, I gotta be honest, if you're a Gen Z dude, and you're following that guy, and you agree that flabby, skipping leg day Joe Biden is cool looking, Oh, I'm sorry, man.
00:35:32.000They just kind of appeared out of nowhere, and they're like these young, kind of good-looking, like, young guys, and they do the frenetic thing where they do this a lot, like the Dash Dobrofsky thing, but it caught on, I guess.
00:35:56.000But your point about those guys coming out of nowhere, I think 100% those guys would not have a huge following if the right didn't just make fun of them all the time.
00:38:21.000I just feel like you're that guy talking to me when you repost him.
00:38:24.000So, like, I have to unfollow people when they repost trash content to make fun of it.
00:38:28.000I don't want that trash content in my life.
00:38:31.000I understand the mentality of, like... Yeah, and then you're also, like, you're convincing yourself of, like, a caricature of the left that isn't true, and then you're not prepared, like, if you want to debate the left, you're not really prepared on what they actually believe.
00:38:44.000And then, like, also in your everyday life, you might know, like, most of my friends and family members are, like, left-wing.
00:38:50.000And so if I look at Harry Sisson and I'm like, oh, I can't.
00:38:54.000But then if I get in a real conversation with my relatives, I'm going to be unprepared.
00:38:59.000I'm going to be like, oh, they're actually a lot smarter and I should, you know.
00:39:02.000It would be obviously better if everyone... I completely disagree.
00:39:04.000I certainly think Harry Sisson is a caricature of liberals who is like, it's shot content.
00:39:10.000But his understanding of reality is about on par with the average liberal voter.
00:39:15.000They could not point to Ukraine on a map.
00:39:17.000And there's varying degrees of this, but I gotta tell you, man, the key moment, a good example, is when we had Hunter Avalon on this show, and I said, in one example, that Joe Biden said, if you don't fire the prosecutor, you're not getting a billion dollars, and he smugly said that never happened.
00:39:33.000And then I played the video, and he was like, uh...
00:39:36.000It's like, dude, I don't, I don't, I don't care for debate.
00:39:41.000Like, in this idea that we're gonna stand on a stage and hit a buzzer and be like, well, I have an argument, and do different debate tactics.
00:40:04.000And I don't think I know everything about these issues.
00:40:07.000I, in fact, think I'm mostly wrong about them.
00:40:08.000Because you're open to discovering the truth.
00:40:10.000Because the deep state, the intelligence agencies, are not giving us the true and correct information about what's going on.
00:40:15.000But what I can say is I've read substantially more about all of this than any of you.
00:40:20.000And I do believe if you took an SD card and Neuralinked it, all the basic news coverage of Ukraine and Joe Biden into the head of the average liberal, they'd vote Donald Trump instantly.
00:40:34.000It's just that they don't know, they don't want to know, they watch CNN, and that's about it.
00:41:16.000But if you go to a Trump supporter, and you were to download into their brains all of the news articles about Donald Trump, The thing is, most Trump supporters would be like, these are contradictions.
00:41:29.000So my favorite two stories from Politico.
00:41:32.000One, that the Democrats were, that Ukraine said that there were Democrats trying to interfere in the 2016 election or something to that effect.
00:41:41.000Then you have several years later Politico reporting once again that in fact that was Russian disinformation, but never retracting or correcting their own reporting saying otherwise.
00:41:51.000How can Politico run two stories, one making a claim and one saying that claim was Russian disinformation without correcting?
00:42:00.000Now, the fact that I know those two articles exist gives me some keen insight into what's really going on in the world, especially considering who the journalist was who wrote the second article.
00:42:08.000You put those articles into the minds of the average person, and they're going to be like, something's not right here.
00:42:14.000Trump supporters already know the news contradicts itself and lies all the time.
00:42:17.000Many of these liberals just believe Rachel Maddow, and they think Fox News is lying.
00:42:22.000Granted, not a big fan of Sean Hannity, you know, but Tucker Carlson was pretty good.
00:42:26.000But they just read garbage from, like, the Daily Beast and then believe things that aren't true.
00:42:53.000Joe Rogan says it's a fact that January 6th was a false flag, cites Ray Epps.
00:42:59.000Now that's a misleading headline if I've ever seen one, but of course, that's the Daily Beast.
00:43:03.000If you are someone who only consumes garbage nonsense like the Daily Beast, you might think Joe Rogan's this crazy Alex Jones guy.
00:43:11.000However, fortunately for Joe Rogan, he's like one of the most famous people on the planet, and many of his fans know who he really is, so they smears, they don't go very far.
00:43:21.000They say wildly popular podcaster Joe Rogan once again pushed the baseless conspiracy theory that the January 6th Capitol insurrection was a false flag orchestrated by the federal government, adding that pro-Trump rioter Ray Epps clearly instigated the attack.
00:44:03.000Earlier this month, Epps sued Fox News for defaming him, this we know, and in that lawsuit, we're hearing that Epps may actually be facing criminal charges.
00:44:11.000They go on to mention that Rogan's got a contract with Spotify, blah blah blah.
00:44:15.000Rogan said the intelligence community had a vested interest in this going sideways, adding that if somebody wanted to disparage a political party, or to maybe have some sort of justification for getting some influential person like Trump offline, that would be the way they would do it.
00:45:16.000And now we know what he said was a fact is that there were guys there who were intelligence assets encouraging people or I should say some kind of government agent or law enforcement.
00:45:35.000That agents pushed people towards the Capitol?
00:45:38.000There's body camera footage of people associated with law enforcement.
00:45:42.000I have to pull this up, I'm going to be very careful here.
00:45:44.000Because I want to make sure we're getting it right.
00:45:46.000But they're saying things like, go, go, go.
00:45:48.000When questioned, I think it was the FBI said, we cannot answer, were there people involved at all?
00:45:56.000Yeah yeah they pled the fifth basically and I did see that clip and that and and Joe Rogan cited Epps and he cited you know the FBI director pleading the fifth but yeah it was like early on there was like very early on after Jan 6 there was a New York Times article and it was like Federal agent, you know, describes his experience on Jan 6.
00:46:16.000So, um, it's long been acknowledged that there were federal agents in Jan 6.
00:46:20.000I think the strongest, uh, argument for false flag there was the pipe bomb, which apparently they have footage of, like, the guy who put it there, and they apparently know where he lives, too.
00:46:32.000They've, they've, like, I forget where I heard this, but they know his address, and yet they have not prosecuted him or explained whether it was a pipe bomb or not.
00:46:44.000It doesn't look like they've investigated what that was.
00:46:46.000Well, that's scandalous, because that guy's like number one.
00:46:48.000Yeah, Thomas Massie has been posting about this, and that is, in my opinion, the most compelling evidence.
00:46:53.000Because the bombs that were placed around the Capitol heightened the entire situation to such a level that you might be able to justify bringing in federal troops or detaining people without Without charge or trial.
00:47:08.000Why didn't Trump just say, get law enforcement down there right now?
00:47:13.000I think it's fair to say that Trump was bumbling quite a bit.
00:47:15.000I don't think Trump had any intention on anyone going into the Capitol.
00:47:18.000I think he genuinely had no idea what was going on.
00:47:20.000And I don't mean that he didn't know there were people storming the Capitol on one side and going in the other.
00:47:24.000I'm saying he did not comprehend the situation.
00:47:27.000You've read, though, that apparently after his speech, he told Secret Service to drive him to the Capitol, and they said, no, we're taking you.
00:47:36.000Because they claimed that Trump, like, attacked the driver.
00:47:38.000Well, yeah, it was exaggerated that he attacked the driver, but what I gathered from that was like, if Trump did actually want to go to the Capitol and talk to these guys, it could have been a totally different outcome.
00:47:48.000If Trump was there and he was like, hey guys, we want to do this peacefully as he was saying in his speech.
00:47:52.000Trump was still speaking when they were breaching the Capitol grounds.
00:48:21.000I mean, the president has a hell of a job during something like that, is what I mean.
00:48:26.000So I can't talk too much shit about him and be like, well, if I was there, I would have this and that, because backseat driving, hindsight's 20-20.
00:48:48.000Two days, three days later, two days later, the whole city's starting to get burned down.
00:48:52.000And I'm like, where's the president of the United States?
00:48:54.000The armed chief of our military commander, like, And I think he was so afraid of being called a fascist he didn't want to invoke, he didn't want to bring the troops in.
00:49:03.000So where were the troops on January 6th?
00:49:05.000I want to make sure we get this in the segment.
00:49:09.000An FBI informant embedded within the Proud Boys on January 6th, identified in the record only by the name Aaron, testified for the defense.
00:49:16.000The witness said he was not aware of any plans by the Proud Boys to invade the U.S.
00:49:36.000There was another, uh, there were another couple videos that came out.
00:49:39.000And you guys should definitely fact check me on this one.
00:49:41.000It is hard to do because most of the corporate press ignores this stuff.
00:49:44.000But there were a few videos from law enforcement who were shouting things like, I think the video in question was, let's go, let's go, keep going, keep going, or something like that.
00:49:53.000Well, that's fascinating, because if that's true, then that's kind of the crux of the whole false flag claim.
00:50:00.000So if that's true, then Joe Rogan was in fact correct.
00:50:05.000Joe Rogan asked whether or not the possibility of a false flag could be, and whether it made sense, and it certainly does make sense.
00:50:12.000They used the insurrection thing for two years, just screaming non-stop over and over again on TV that it was an insurrection, and now the speculation is they'll try to use this to get Trump removed from the ballot.
00:50:25.000So certainly there was a benefit to all of this.
00:50:27.000They deleted Trump's tweets calling for peace.
00:50:30.000They deleted Trump's Facebook posts where he was saying, I don't think they deleted, they suspended him.
00:50:35.000Trump had said things like, everybody go home, we respect law enforcement.
00:50:38.000They shuffled that away and then claimed he was calling for violence.
00:50:43.000I'm uh you know if you're a commander and you've got a your capital is under siege by its own civilians like and they're they're starting a riot or they're starting a thing like you've got a few options you know you can bring out the guns and try and turn them down that you can ask beg them to stop which doesn't really work against large crowds or you can insert Active duty officers into the crowd to break it up.
00:51:42.000When it comes to agent provocateurs, the left will tell you to your face the government stages fake activists to incite violence for the purpose of discrediting protest movements.
00:51:52.000And then when the right is protesting, the left says, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:52:03.000Yeah, we need people to stand up for the rights of other, the people you don't agree with.
00:52:07.000Like if you see, maybe it's a big ask, but if you see your political opponents under duress and they're being treated poorly or illegally, you've got to stand up for those people.
00:52:15.000Yeah, you need to stand on principle as opposed to partisan.
00:52:20.000There is no history, there's no evidence of that happening from, really from either side, but definitely from the Democrats for the past 15, 20 years.
00:52:29.000And that's why I say to a certain degree, because perhaps when the country is unified, but there's partisan bickering, you get angry when the DOJ is weaponized against a political group.
00:52:43.000Unfortunately, right now, we're in something substantially deeper than that.
00:52:47.000And now the question is, when they're trying to destroy you, do you provide them with your support?
00:52:55.000Yes, first time in my life I've ever been in a situation like where they were in the 50s where they were really afraid the communists were going to take over the country.
00:53:01.000So they were like, was it J. Edgar Hoover's blacklist or whatever?
00:53:04.000He'd like start blacklisting all these people that had communist ties and people were losing their jobs and their careers.
00:53:09.000And like, maybe if they hadn't done that, we would have become a communist nation.
00:53:19.000This is still true to this day, and I got questions about the legal merits of- it's in the law.
00:53:25.000And it's not- I do not believe it's been adjudicated, so I wonder what would happen if you were just like, no communists allowed.
00:53:31.000This is just- this is like- I don't have any kind of evidence, it's just my impression, but in the 50s and the Red Scare and stuff, and I really need to go and do more reading about what it was actually like, but it really seemed like the people that were really opposed to communism in the 50s and 60s, it seemed like they really understood that the left, that the international left, has a fundamental different understanding of the world.
00:54:01.000I was listening to this book called, this audio book called Explaining Postmodernism
00:54:06.000And one of the things that he talks about is the way that the left doesn't have the
00:54:11.000same kind of foundation that the right does.
00:54:15.000And it's about, you know, liberalism versus authoritarianism.
00:54:18.000And you're not going to be able to find common ground with people that have a fundamental
00:54:23.000different understanding of what the truth is or what reality is.
00:54:28.000And if there is no truth, then it's fine to use ad hominems and call everybody Nazis and stuff.
00:54:34.000And we're seeing the effects of that now.
00:54:38.00020 or 30 years to the 30 or 40 years now actually the left is called everybody on the right a Nazi and every president's a Nazi and always goes to the absolute worst where you know there's a lot of people in America now that aren't Unfortunately, that are not so afraid of the word of being called a racist anymore.
00:54:59.000You know, they're just like, well, you call everybody that, you call everybody Nazi, you call everybody, so it doesn't matter.
00:55:04.000And that's something that we have to deal with.
00:55:07.000And I don't see how we can deal with the struggles that we're having as a country if we can't even agree on what the philosophy that the United States is founded on.
00:55:21.000But hold on, but hold on, because you're giving credit to the people in the 1950s and you're kind of saying, well, they were actually good intention and they were actually against communists and pro-freedom.
00:55:29.000I'm only saying that maybe they understood better than the average person now.
00:55:31.000I'm not trying to give them undue credit.
00:55:33.000But then you talk about the difference in ideology, which is one is collectivism, one is individualism.
00:55:39.000But when you go on this like Red Scare campaign, you're immediately dissolving one of the crucial things of individualism, which is like, One of the flaws or one of the greatest challenges that liberalism has is liberalism accepts the arguments of opposing viewpoints as if they are coming from liberals, right?
00:56:01.000So if you enter the disagreement expecting the person you're having a debate with to be honest, But they were not going to be honest.
00:56:15.000So that's one of the things that liberals have to figure out how to deal with.
00:56:18.000And that's why that's why liberals and that's why the communists say liberals always choose fascists over communists because the only way that you can fight authoritarians is with authoritarianism.
00:56:30.000Right, but then you become, like, the monster you're trying to fight.
00:56:33.000Like, it's what Tim said with, like, the original, uh, purpose of, like, these international bodies, and then the grandchildren just forget what the purpose was.
00:56:42.000Well, yeah, but to be fair... Like, how could you say that, um... They were always that way.
00:56:46.000Yeah, and if you look at J. Edgar Hoover, they were always that way, so I just don't think there's any credence to this argument of like, we need to embrace authoritarianism to get rid of communism.
00:56:54.000No, I didn't say that we need to embrace it, but I'm saying that the current problem that we have is that liberalism doesn't have It doesn't have a mechanism to deal with dishonesty, but it does, though, and it's only supporting liberalism and not supporting other ideologies.
00:57:15.000Fair enough, but the problem that we're experiencing now is authoritarians lie to liberals, shit libs, bad liberals.
00:57:24.000They lie to shit libs and shit libs believe them because what the authoritarians are telling the liberals sounds good.
00:57:31.000But the tool then is education, and it's very difficult, obviously, especially with echo chambers, but to me that's the only viable tool.
00:57:39.000And that was another Jefferson quote, something about educating the masses is like how to secure liberty.
00:57:42.000A lot of that's with tone, because the data itself doesn't convince people that you can do it with a good tone.
00:57:47.000And another shout out to Dave Smith, because I think he does that extremely well.
00:58:04.000There was a video I played earlier, we don't have it pulled up right now, where it's a guy driving down the highway and he's just filming this destruction on this building.
00:58:13.000They say Russian authorities say three Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow in the early hours on Sunday.
00:58:18.000Injuring one person and prompting a temporary closure for traffic of one of four airports around the Russian capital was the fourth such attempt at a strike on the capital region this month.
00:58:27.000Now, I saw some people on Twitter claim this was a secret government office that was protected by Russian security forces.
00:58:37.000I don't know why else they would strike the target.
00:58:38.000They're going to go after military targets.
00:58:41.000But this is now escalation of warfare into civilian capitals, into Moscow.
00:58:48.000This is... I think there's... we're starting to see, um...
00:58:53.000A real case for this expanding well beyond just a Ukrainian conflict, it's already now in Russia, and where else could it go next as it's spreading?
00:59:03.000There was a news report that a Russian strike was 600 feet from the Romanian border, which could theoretically launch this thing just dramatically out of control.
01:00:00.000So like an hour after this drone blows up.
01:00:05.000Zelensky made a statement and he says, quote, "...gradually the war is returning to the territory of Russia, to its symbolic centers and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process."
01:00:18.000So Zelensky said that and he's explicitly said, we're targeting symbolic centers.
01:00:23.000Um, which, to me, I could only mean, you know, areas where civilians gather, so it sounds like we're targeting civilians, and I asked the State Department this, and, um, he basically said, well, I don't know if that's what symbolic centers means, and then he brushed it off and wouldn't let me get a follow-up in, but, um, to me, when you make a speech like that an hour after the explosion happens, that kind of looks like you're taking credit for it.
01:01:39.000If it's a false flag, then Russia wants to escalate, and it's even worse.
01:01:42.000But if it was a false flag, why would Zelensky come out an hour later and basically be like, hey, we're going after symbolic centers?
01:01:47.000I guess you'd be like, if you were the commander and then some random elements within your country bombed some random elements within the enemy country, you'd be like, see, there you go.
01:01:58.000Yes, let me bring you back to the era of piracy where there would be privateers and corsairs who would receive letters of marque from their government to disrupt the enemy's supply lines.
01:02:08.000And then let's say it was the English and the French.
01:02:10.000The French would capture a pirate ship running black sails or whatever, a black flag, and then these guys are clearly British, they'd go to the Crown and say, we know that you are ransacking our trade lines, and say, oh, how dare you!
01:04:05.000Wow, it's almost like he was dealing with the American people.
01:04:07.000Yeah, and he armed Ukraine with a bunch of weapons too, which is obviously not in Russia's interest.
01:04:13.000There was also a tweet on this explosion.
01:04:15.000This account tweets it out and they're like, oh my god, drones hitting Moscow, how unfortunate, and then like a little sunglasses emoji meaning like, you know, we like this.
01:04:22.000And then the General Michael Hayden, who's the former director of the CIA and NSA, tweets out, oh, it's an act of God, like about this explosion.
01:04:51.000It's like, people who don't realize that it's the government's perpetrating these wars, and like, you know, most of these soldiers are conscripted anyways, it's like, you should be mad at the government.
01:05:02.000Even if you, you know, believe the whole narrative around Ukraine, you should be mad at Putin and the government.
01:05:09.000You don't celebrate, like, civilians getting bombed in Moscow.
01:05:13.000What do you think is a just solution to the war?
01:05:18.000I mean, I think the war could have been avoided in the first place by giving up or holding referendums in which, by the way, Zelensky campaigned on this.
01:05:29.000He campaigned on holding referendums in the Donbas in Crimea because there was like a decade-long civil war in the Donbas and, of course, Russia basically controls Crimea.
01:05:41.000And so, and Poroshenko's, um, by the end of, like, by Zelensky, when he was campaigning in 2019, Poroshenko's approval rating was so low because of this war.
01:05:50.000It was like people didn't, people didn't want to fight this war.
01:05:52.000And, and that's why also the Azov battalion, which is kind of the, the neo-Nazi sect, um, grew, you know, so much stronger.
01:05:59.000It's because people didn't, the only people who wanted to fight were those guys.
01:06:02.000But so, Zelensky campaigns and he's like, I'm gonna hold referendums in the Donbas, I'm gonna let them decide whether they want autonomy, whether they want to secede or be in Ukraine.
01:06:09.000And he wins overwhelmingly, he wins like 75% of the vote.
01:06:12.000And in the East, everyone voted for him in the general election.
01:06:16.000Then he gets in, And he doesn't do it.
01:06:20.000You can actually look, there's like old, there's like Biden 2021 White House statements where Biden is like saying like, no, no, Crimea is Ukraine.
01:06:28.000And Zelensky earlier had been like, well, I'm still open to referendums there.
01:06:30.000But then Biden makes, gets involved and is like, no, no, Crimea is Ukraine.
01:06:35.000Boris Johnson was sent in and crushed a peace agreement.
01:06:37.000Yeah, that was after the war, but so in terms of like a peace agreement could have been just hold referendums in the Donbas in Crimea.
01:06:46.000Crimea overwhelmingly, even by like U.S.
01:06:48.000government conducted polls in 2014, Crimea overwhelmingly wants to join Russia.
01:06:53.000The Donbas, it's not clear whether they want to join or secede or want more like just governing autonomy from Kiev.
01:07:00.000Just hold those referendums and see what happens.
01:07:03.000That was Putin's demand before he invaded.
01:07:07.000And you could have just granted that and people say like, well, you can't do that because then he'll just be even closer and he'll keep going.
01:07:12.000But it's like, take the chance on it then at least.
01:07:14.000Or like, negotiate some, I don't know, negotiate something better.
01:07:18.000But like, the idea that this counterfactual is like, well, Putin would have gone even further.
01:07:26.000Hundreds of thousands have died, Ukraine is destroyed, and millions are now refugees because of that counterfactual that you're so sure of.
01:07:34.000We could have held these referendums and we potentially could have avoided the entire war.
01:07:41.000I think if Donald Trump gets elected, the day they call it for Trump, the hour, the minute, the war stops.
01:07:48.000Yeah, I mean, I think he would probably do maybe some form of what I just said.
01:07:52.000I don't know what exactly he would do.
01:07:52.000No, I just think the moment they say, and the winner of the 2024 presidential election is projected to be Donald Trump, Russia immediately says ceasefire.
01:08:00.000And Zelensky, too, would be like, finally, the dogs are off my back.
01:08:04.000I think some of the dogs on his back are kind of the far-right guys within his own government.
01:08:09.000But Putin stops right away because he wants more leverage.
01:08:13.000So Putin is probably going to be saying, Trump's going to come in, he's going to end this, we're not going to get everything we want, we'll get enough of what we want, but if we're still fighting, we'll gain more leverage by stopping the fighting right now.
01:08:25.000Then, you know, brushing up to Trump's ego and being like, we knew that as soon as you got in, you were going to be reasonable and help us end this conflict, so we pulled our troops back.
01:08:34.000Trump's going to be like, absolutely, here's what I expect.
01:08:43.000Um, but I, I also think like Trump winning is just a massive fantasy.
01:08:49.000I mean, I think, um, we, I, I can't recite like the whole history.
01:08:54.000I know, I know a couple of interesting facts about the whole JFK assassination.
01:08:57.000And to me, it's overwhelming that the CIA killed him.
01:09:01.000So, you know, Donald Trump won in 2016.
01:09:03.000Well, he won, and then, you know, the intelligence agencies... well, I guess Hillary and her team fabricated the dossier, and then this kind of... They tied stones to Trump's feet?
01:09:28.000I mean, RFK's talked about the risk, you know, based on his family history.
01:09:32.000So perhaps, and there's been other people who have speculated, horrifying things may happen, but look, I believe that if Donald Trump is harmed, this country implodes overnight.
01:12:15.000Because now, after 2020, you're going to have every single Trump supporter filming everything.
01:12:21.000You are going to have a hundred times as many videos coming out showing weird things that may be innocuous, may be nothing, or may be suspicious.
01:12:30.000And no matter who wins or who loses, the other side will refuse.
01:12:34.000We saw the Boston Globe story where powerful Democrats suggested the West Coast secede from the Union in the event Donald Trump gets elected.
01:12:56.000But I just don't see anyone accepting the results.
01:13:01.000Yeah, I mean, you know, I'll settle for making it to 2024 and as long as, you know, we do not blow up the world in Ukraine or over Taiwan if that ever happens.
01:13:10.000So let me let me pull up this story from the Daily Mail.
01:13:12.000JFK director Oliver Stone says he made a mistake voting for Joe Biden in 2020 because he fears president will start World War Three with his support for Ukraine.
01:14:12.000Yeah, biolabs and stuff here in the U.S.
01:14:14.000I don't think that the American people I really think that as much as there are people that complain a lot on the internet and stuff, I really think that Americans are way too comfortable to get really, really buck wild in like some kind of revolutionary way.
01:14:31.000They'll get out in the streets and they'll, you know, throw rocks and stuff and throw Molotovs and try and get into fights with the police, but that's only the most mentally Questionable or at risk if you want to call them that people that the average peep your average person has even the people that have it bad have it better than most humans in human history.
01:14:56.000I just don't see the revolutionary energy that What's your point, though, with China?
01:15:00.000You just mean, like, the fact that people are not angry about that?
01:15:02.000Yeah, there's Chinese, you know, there's talking about building a Chinese listening post in Cuba.
01:15:08.000There's actual Chinese, I guess, government police that are policing Chinese, former Chinese citizens or whatever.
01:15:18.000And the biolab thing just came out with COVID, mice, and HIV.
01:15:22.000And China's done the same thing in Canada.
01:15:24.000They violated, if the United States actually took the Monroe Doctrine seriously anymore, there would be at least some type of retaliation between all this stuff that we talked about, that we've mentioned in the past five minutes or whatever, and the spy balloon that went over and stuff.
01:15:43.000I understand that most libertarians are like, you know, we shouldn't be looking for problems with other countries, and I agree.
01:15:51.000When you got a country sending a police force into your borders and policing citizens of your country from a foreign country, I get it that you're anti-war libertarians, but hey, at some point, the actual sovereignty of your country matters.
01:16:10.000even if you have open borders. Well, so I agree. And I get like, we should be
01:16:14.000moderately upset about those things. But I think on this on the scale of like, I agree there's no
01:16:18.000revolutionary energy, but like I'm way more concerned about like this war we're talking
01:16:22.000about, what Roger Stone's talking about, about blowing up the world. Like if there's a Chinese
01:16:25.000police station in my local city, that is pretty weird and concerning. But I'm much more concerned
01:16:33.000with like my president potentially being blackmailed by Ukraine and then therefore
01:16:37.000looping me into a nuclear war that could literally kill me one day.
01:16:42.000That's where the revolutionary energy needs to be focused, and I agree there's a lack of it.
01:16:48.000That Hunter Biden's on the board of Arisma, Devin Archer calls DC, says we want the prosecutor fired, the elites, the oligarchs, the people in Ukraine know exactly what Joe Biden did, and then they call him up and say, we're gonna spill the beans unless you give us what we want.
01:17:05.000Yeah, no, I've, like, gamed that out in my head as well.
01:17:09.000I think it could exactly be that, and it's just crazy.
01:17:12.000And, you know, we should all come together as a country and just say, Joe, whatever they got on you, it's totally fine.
01:17:28.000Right, no, I know, I was gonna say with a kid, I was gonna say like a naked photo of him with a kid, but like, just let that come out and just end the war, man, it's more important.
01:17:50.000Assuming that there's gonna stuff is gonna come out later is why my reason would be but would you do it not with any expectation or like tit-for-tat just be like oh would I do it right now hoping like the war and hoping there is blackmail and hoping the war ends?
01:18:49.000So that we don't have this tit-for-tat, so that then the next generation, they don't come back for you, Hunter's sister doesn't come back with guns abla- you know, you don't want to just keep the cycle moving.
01:18:58.000I wouldn't be worried about that, but yeah, I agree in terms of like- I don't agree with the idea that by allowing elite criminals to get away with their crimes, you actually stop the crime.
01:19:07.000Well, what you do want to do is expose them and make the world know what they did, but then pardon them for it.
01:19:13.000Yeah, if you expose them and the world knows what they did and then you pardon them, that is not going to disincentivize people from doing the same in the future.
01:19:21.000I don't know if anything can disincentivize it.
01:19:23.000Yeah, all the incentives are in their favor.
01:19:41.000I mean, the threat of force is usually the go-to.
01:19:43.000Like, how do you stop corrupt leaders from being corrupt?
01:19:45.000If it's sedition, if it's treason, there's varying degrees of punishment.
01:19:50.000But I think on some level you can like it's not all doesn't only have to be punishment and I guess Ian what you might be getting at is like you can appeal I imagine in theory like you can appeal to the humanity of these people like I know like you know Lindsey Graham to me does not seem like a guy who has much humanity in him.
01:20:07.000Joe Biden I mean that hugely brazen corrupt kind of that mafia display is like is awful but like when you also listen to that clip of him.
01:20:16.000Remember when that clip of him came out of like a voicemail on Hunter's phone and he's like, son, I love you.
01:20:21.000You know, we'll get over this drug addiction or whatever.
01:20:22.000To me, that sounded like a dad who loved his son.
01:20:28.000It's naive to think like I can use I can I can like tap into that humanity of Joe Biden's.
01:20:34.000But I'm just saying it's there and he feels love for his son.
01:20:40.000But yeah, and maybe there is some way to tap into that.
01:20:43.000Like, I don't know if that's what you're getting at with the pardons, but... Pardons won't solve it.
01:20:48.000So... I'm just saying I hope Joe Biden wakes up one day and says, like, God, you know, I do have these grandchildren and, like, I don't want to... Biden?
01:21:38.000I think it might have been at the DeSantis presser he had.
01:21:40.000Do you guys really think he thinks that much at all?
01:21:43.000Well that, yeah, I mean that's another... Just because he's old now doesn't mean he did not build his life and his family off of these ideas that he will take whatever he wants.
01:22:29.000When you learn about everything, In that book, from the whole, like, AIDS pandemic and how, like, the chemo drug that they were prescribing was basically causing AIDS or making it way worse.
01:22:38.000AZT, and him experimenting on orphans, like, killing hundreds of orphaned children and debilitating many more.
01:22:46.000When you realize that that guy can go on TV and, like, smooth talk the entire world, smooth talk, like, it's kind of what Tim is saying, and it's like, Jesus, like, that's a level of, like, psychopath that I can't even imagine.
01:23:02.000Must you think like a psychopath to defeat the psychopath?
01:23:06.000One thing that I want to say is you talk a lot about forgiveness and stuff like that, and I am so, like I said earlier, I'm so black-pilled about even being able to communicate with people.
01:23:20.000It's such and I maybe it just struck me that like you're you're still looking for ways to find to expect good behavior from people or to offer people the option of behaving well and I just don't think that they're gonna.
01:23:39.000Yeah, you know, I'm obsessed, not really obsessed, Ben Franklin is a big inspiration, and that guy always had like a twinkle in his eye and kind of a knowing smile, like we already won.
01:23:47.000So he was like a diplomat to the enemy.
01:24:41.000And Serge, if you bring up my pinned tweet, it's me asking the State Department about him in, I think it was, maybe like a month ago, or a couple months ago now.
01:24:51.000Um, and yeah, I mean, so that was when I was at the Epoch Times.
01:24:56.000Um, it didn't, the question didn't go over so smoothly at the Epoch Times.
01:25:00.000I don't know, I don't know if I can get into that too much.
01:25:02.000Well, let's go through this guy's Twitter thread.
01:25:04.000He tweets, right now I'm about to, um, I'm about to try to get out of Ukraine and seek political asylum in Hungary.
01:25:09.000And I will also add, this was from 6 23 p.m.
01:25:14.000I'll check his Twitter to see if he successfully crossed.
01:25:17.000He goes on to describe what happened to him, he says he broke no laws, he was accused of breaking no laws, he was just reporting on what was going on in Ukraine and it made Ukraine look bad, so they arrested him.
01:25:26.000He says, my indictment explicitly states that all I did was discuss publicly known facts about the war, the epitome of free speech and a democracy, but Zelensky's Ukraine is no democracy, it's a thieving, corrupt, murderous, gangster regime pretending to be polite Western democracy.
01:25:40.000He's right about that, and that's obvious because Ukraine has always been that, since the fall of the Soviet Union.
01:25:46.000Once arrested, I was given documentation assuring me that I was guaranteed the right to contact my lawyers and loved ones.
01:25:53.000In fact, I was blocked from calling anyone, even my lawyers, and I was not permitted to post bail.
01:25:58.000He goes on to describe that he was tortured, and, uh, let me, let me, uh, once inside Caesar Prison, I was tortured in the two of the four cells I was in by the other prisoners.
01:26:07.000Guards never beat prisoners, they outsource the torture.
01:26:10.000One prisoner actually apologized to me, telling me he had no choice.
01:26:20.000He was gonna say that he was beaten for over 30 hours and sleep deprived.
01:26:25.000The craziest thing about this, and this is pretty brutal, so you've been warned.
01:26:30.000He says, at one point, two thugs held my head and used a toothpick to scratch the whites of my left eye while asking me if I could still read if I had just one.
01:26:54.000He goes on to mention that they found out he had money, he wasn't poor, and they extorted about $70,000 out of him, and he's lost about $100,000.
01:27:02.000He says the conditions of his bail were that he has to wear an ankle monitor, surrender his passports, and not leave the city of Kharkov, much less the country.
01:27:09.000However, after posting bail, he didn't get an ankle monitor, and they returned his passports.
01:27:14.000He was going to say that he was told by one guy, they were telling you to leave.
01:27:19.000And then he says he doesn't know, so he decided he will die trying.
01:27:23.000He rode his motorcycle across Ukraine 1,400 kilometers in two days.
01:27:27.000He said, I'm going to Hungary to ask for political asylum.
01:27:30.000When I fail to show up in court in Kharkov, an arrest warrant will be issued, likely an international warrant.
01:27:35.000No doubt other EU countries will comply like sheep, returning me to serve 5-8 years in
01:28:41.000He was in the past like a contributor for Business Insider, Zero Hedge.
01:28:46.000I've talked to some people like who I trust, and they kind of have like a bad opinion of him.
01:28:51.000They're like, oh, he's kind of a wacko.
01:28:52.000But at the end of the day, he was He is a U.S.
01:28:54.000citizen, and all he was doing, that is correct when he says that, all he was doing was making YouTube videos.
01:29:01.000Criticizing the U.S.-NATO support for the Ukraine war, criticizing Zelensky.
01:29:08.000And so I asked the State Department about this a couple months ago, and Matthew Miller, the spokesman, was just like, yeah, you know, we're aware, this was when he was still in jail, he's like, yeah, we're aware that he's in jail, we support free speech, and I'm just gonna leave it at that.
01:29:22.000And I was like, Well, are you working to get him released?
01:29:25.000And he's like, I'm just gonna leave it at that.
01:29:27.000And so clearly it sounds like Gonzalo... They probably had him arrested.
01:29:31.000Well, yeah, they might have given the order to get him arrested, but it sounds like he escaped prison, right?
01:30:04.000Well, this is wild, and like, I'm excited to kind of ask the government about this now, because like, this could change... I don't know, it's an interesting story.
01:30:14.000Like, it's going to be interesting to see how, like, our government reacts to this.
01:30:17.000Because, like, are they going to acknowledge, like, are they going to even acknowledge this story?
01:30:21.000Because inherent to it is the fact that they've been letting this U.S.
01:30:24.000citizen rot in prison for a couple months, you know?
01:31:42.000citizen who... I mean, Brittany... Brittany Greiner.
01:31:44.000Like, remember when she was detained in Russia?
01:31:47.000It was like, all we could talk about is, like, release him.
01:31:49.000And then... They traded the merchant to Wall Street.
01:31:51.000Yeah, and then the Wall Street journalist, the Wall Street Journal journalist who was also in prison in Russia, I don't know if he's still there, but it's like those things we can't stop talking about it because it's our adversaries imprisoning our citizens.
01:32:03.000This is our ally who we have a ton of leverage over imprisoning our citizens.
01:32:08.000Which says to me the likely scenario is the Biden administration ordered his arrest.
01:32:55.000Because Barack Obama killed a 16-year-old American citizen, and that wasn't the only American citizen he killed.
01:33:01.000So when you can state, definitively, that Barack Obama Murdered a 16 year old American citizen in a drone strike in Yemen, then I'm like, yeah, arresting a guy is like nowhere near that bad.
01:33:12.000I would say it is plausible 100% that Biden could have ordered that guy's arrest, but I see zero evidence that he did, so I'm not gonna assume anything.
01:34:04.000So yet another reason it's like, why are we propping up this regime?
01:34:07.000Was he doing that censorship with pressure from the West?
01:34:11.000Um, I don't- wha- I don't know, but he was doing it.
01:34:13.000Yeah, I don't know where the pressure came from, but, um...
01:34:17.000Yeah, so I, you know, he does have a history of, like, not being a super democratic pro-freedom guy.
01:34:23.000And, um, yeah, this story in general is insane.
01:34:25.000I mean, I hope, uh, I hope Lyra, I wish him luck, and I hope this also injects into, like, the public conversation of, like, wow, the U.S.
01:34:34.000just, like, let this guy rot there, and, like, I hope it opens up a conversation about, like, you know, that we're not really on the side of freedom and democracy in this war.

01:35:01.000But for the time being, we will read your Super Chats.
01:35:03.000Sean says, American Flags, number two song in the country, Tom McDonald and Adam Calhoun make it number one.
01:36:18.000But at the very least, we're saying, just try.
01:36:22.000Instead, they're like, oh, you know, what are we gonna do?
01:36:24.000What they're probably doing is they're going to Democrats and saying, look, they want us to vote to impeach Biden, but I'll tell you what, I'll vote no if you agree with my funding for Insert X Project.
01:37:42.000He got an office, he tried to enact that agenda.
01:37:45.000He did say he wanted to drain the swamp.
01:37:47.000He did, to some degree, but he brought in a bunch of bad people that were your typical established Republicans, but then still tried to enact his agenda.
01:41:54.000Maybe I'm getting some of it wrong, but I recommend checking out his stuff.
01:41:57.000And I can tell you that when I checked out Max Keiser's A Big Finance Guy, all he did was scream, buy Bitcoin over and over again, and then I regretted not taking his word for it.
01:42:07.000The crypto makes it so it seems like a full-on depression is less likely, but I think you're going to see a wage gap increase, where you'll see some poor people get poorer.
01:45:24.000I'm just saying if it's backed by a US dollar, if it's backed by an asset, then you're relying on someone to actually give it to you.
01:45:29.000One of the cryptos I do like is Monero.
01:45:32.000That one is like... I don't even own it, but it's like...
01:45:36.000All the transactions are obfuscated, so they're all washed, so the government can't track you.
01:45:41.000And I think there's some utility to that.
01:45:43.000If we did slip into some sort of authoritarian world where your transactions are being monitored and stuff, and you want to use something like Monero, I don't think it helps GDP.
01:45:52.000I don't know if we can go into a depression.
01:46:27.00022,000 Teamsters, UPS was found by its union to have made $52 billion in profit in the past five years, and UPS is now giving about $7 raise to all drivers, made me thought, think, why do we demand more in pay instead of demand company drop prices?
01:46:42.000Well, the staff, they want, the people who work there want to get a bigger cut of what they're producing, that I get.
01:46:49.000The issue with Yellow Truck is that the company was collapsing, and the union was making demands, and then the company just outright collapsed, and now nobody has a job.
01:46:56.000So the point I was making is that it's really funny when it comes to the left's arguments.
01:47:01.000They're like, the people who are producing the product deserve a share of the wages.
01:48:22.000I can explain that to you very simply!
01:48:25.000You see, the World Economic Forum, people in the CIA, Democrats, the deep state, they took a look at China and said, their system is so much better than our system because they can spin on a dime.
01:48:54.000The communist faction, the economic faction, and the liberty faction.
01:49:00.000You could say that the CIA has been co-opted and that it's not quite functioning as a liberty faction right now, but this liberal economic order faction.
01:49:32.000So I think that there's multiple factions.
01:49:33.000I don't think the CIA necessarily wants the World Economic Forum to take over either, but they're blind with their pants down, like, how do we stop technocratic revolution?
01:51:22.000I still haven't seen The Passion of the Christ yet.
01:51:24.000Well, so, what I thought was funny about Sound of Freedom is, like, when the mainstream media bashed it as QAnon, everyone who liked the movie kind of jumped to its defense and was like, no, no, no, it doesn't even talk about the government!
01:51:34.000And that's when I was like, well, okay, I'm not as interested now.
01:51:37.000I do realize it's, like, super fucked up what's going on, but, like, And I think a lot of Pizzagate was bullshit, but there was a lot of weird factual things in Pizzagate that raised red flags about John Podesta and stuff.
01:51:50.000And then obviously Epstein is a proven case of basically government-sanctioned pedophilia.
01:51:57.000I wish the mainstream media was right, and it did actually get into some government pedophilia.
01:53:11.000Eric Miller says, Tim, about yellow trucking, it is rumored that Amazon and Home Depot were going to buy them because they have accounts with them and it's cheaper now.
01:54:25.000The second trick is a hang ten endo flip where the board flips end over end and then halfway around I hit it on its underside while it's upside down causing it to flip one and a half times and then I land on it.
01:55:20.000Are you gonna have a single bull to get the ladies, uh... Typically we just have the... We... For a while it was Roberto and Roberto Jr., and then Roberto, you know, he had to be... He retired.
01:55:34.000He was actually imprisoned for sexual assault.
01:55:37.000Yeah, he was hurting one of the hens pretty bad.
01:55:39.000And now Roberto- You guys put him in prison?
01:55:48.000Um, but, uh, Roberto Jr., now, his spurs are really big and he's starting to hurt the ladies pretty bad, so... He's taking after his father.
01:55:54.000Well, it just happens when the roosters get older, and a lot of people are like, cut the spurs, and I'm like, ah, but that's mean, like it hurts them, and we don't want to do that, but maybe we just got Roberto Jr.
01:56:03.000is going to have to go to finer pastures.
01:56:05.000I think what we're going to do, though, and this is a big announcement, we're going to auction off a bunch of the chickens.
01:56:08.000They have a chicken auction periodically out here, and so we've got too many, and they keep making more of themselves, so we have to do something about that.
01:56:16.000So we're probably going to take, you know, a good portion, maybe half of the current batch, and then auction them.
01:56:23.000So I think the people locally out here will be really excited and then we'll get like little placards with their names and we'll like sign it like official cast, you know, uh, cast castle chicken city chickens, but then we'll keep the original chickens.
01:56:43.000Let's grab some more super chats from our friends here.
01:56:47.000Toose Nalorum says, you are all talking about Russian prisons, but in Ameri- We weren't talking about Russian prisons, we were talking about Ukraine.
01:56:53.000But in American prisons people get raped to the point it's a joke in most media and pop culture.
01:56:57.000Think about it, the worst crime in existence, even murder is more merciful, happens in American prisons as standard fare if you cross a warden by refusing to be, uh, literal slave labor.
01:57:19.000Yeah, but we didn't mention anything about the prisons.
01:57:21.000Or endorse American prisons either, so, yeah.
01:57:24.000As DoeIs2Deer says, there is no faster way to accelerate the divide in the country than to pardon the leader of one side after they commit high crimes.
01:58:42.000The reason is like... You can forgive him and say, don't worry Joe Biden, as president, we the American people will not hold it against you if it turns out you did bad things.
01:58:54.000If you are the president and you have federal pardoning power, you go to your DOJ and say, lock him up.
01:58:59.000I want an indictment tomorrow morning.
01:59:01.000Right, so it's not technically pardoning, it's basically just like, we're not going to prosecute him.
01:59:06.000Well, I'm looking for... But, no, he has the prosecution power.
01:59:10.000Like, his appointees... Ian's scenario was like, if you're president, or like, if you have magically have the pardon power, would you use it to, you know... And this is my point, like, let's talk about how we deal with this in reality because this scenario is impossible.
01:59:26.000We need ballot harvesting, ballot chasing, we need massive voter operations. Trump goes in,
01:59:31.000appoints an AG who immediately goes after Joe Biden, and we get a perp walk. There you go,
01:59:37.000problem solved. But like that's also fantasy, like if you think that's gonna happen,
01:59:42.000like you're not living in reality. That's actually possible.
01:59:44.000No, I see it's like a physical, it's a theoretical possibility.
01:59:48.000I just think, like, the fact that not only Trump gets in the White House, but that he, like, is able to... These are just opinion statements, right?
01:59:55.000I'm saying it is a fact-based reality that...
02:00:12.000I'm just saying, like, you yourself said that, like, you think the 2024 elections are going to be... They're going to happen, but they're basically going to be a sham.
02:01:12.000Do you think the deep state will succeed in preventing him from getting elected?
02:01:16.000What do you think the percentage is that Trump could win?
02:01:18.000I think the bureaucratic state, the deep state, the permanent government will do everything in their power to try and stop Trump and there's a possibility Trump wins.
02:01:24.000Do you want to put a percentage on it that Trump wins?
02:01:39.000Anyone that says, when you hire me to be your boss, I'm gonna fire you, they're not gonna hire you to be their boss.
02:01:45.000Uh, the reason I'm going for pardons and why I keep talking about pardons is because I don't, honestly, I don't give a fuck about Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, these old people that have been shredding my republic for the last 20, 30 years, these families.
02:01:59.000I want to pardon everyone, let them retire so we can create a new government, a functional, liberal government.
02:02:04.000And then, from their retirement, they buy houses next to the White House.
02:02:07.000Start putting tons of money into their appointees, use their exorbitant assets and their hundreds of millions of dollars earned from their influence to then inject people into your new constitutional republic.
02:02:22.000Yeah, but that doesn't stop the behavior.
02:02:25.000And it also pisses people off when their relatives go to jail, so you just gotta be careful with the whole prosecution.
02:02:30.000I have very little concern for corrupt American dynasty families who have been selling us out when there's 320-some-odd million people who would smile if these people were locked up for the crimes they commit.
