00:11:11.000Americanism, not globalism, will be our freedom!
00:11:33.000The mayor also just announced the city will start requiring proof of COVID vaccination for a range of indoor activities, including going to a restaurant or to the gym.
00:12:29.000I'm not going to Walgreens to get an mRNA, non-FDA approved, and even if it was, experimental vaccine that goes inside your cells and manipulates your DNA to start producing spiked proteins which are killing babies and giving people heart attacks.
00:12:54.000Because I'm afraid of the flu, which kills like .00013%.
00:13:33.000People get a small taste of what they used to have, the hard lockdown comes back, and then people are more desperate to do what they're told in order to get full normalcy.
00:13:45.000And they're already talking about that in Iceland.
00:13:47.000They say in Iceland it's a 15-year, 15-year lockdown plan.
00:13:53.000And they're talking about that with the vaccines.
00:13:55.000Regular, every six months, booster shots.
00:14:00.000Booster shots, vaccinations for COVID.
00:14:05.000So you're gonna get your two shots, and then get sick, and then you gotta get a third shot, and then, you know, you just get a shot every six months or something.
00:21:56.000I also want to talk about Zelensky and his rebuttal to this.
00:22:01.000Zelensky says that he's willing to compromise, but there's some things that he's not willing to compromise on and he basically is threatening World War III if he doesn't get his way.
00:22:12.000And he's telling Putin that there are preconditions to any negotiation, and some of the preconditions are Putin's terms for the surrender.
00:22:21.000So in other words, we're at an impasse here.
00:22:24.000And Zelensky says that if Putin doesn't withdraw, then there will be World War III.
00:22:29.000And Zelensky is just insane now and totally emboldened by the West and he really believes that he's going to get into a fly zone and he thinks that he is going to drag NATO and the Western powers into a conflict with Russia and end life on Earth as we know it.
00:22:46.000I mean this is how this man is thinking.
00:22:58.000There's actually a new narrative going on and I've seen this just today.
00:23:04.000I don't, I mean, you know, you've heard things like this for like the past eight years, but I've really been hearing it today on social media.
00:23:14.000What they're saying now is, let's stop pretending that Putin is going to stop with Ukraine.
00:23:39.000Everybody's saying, he's not gonna stop with Ukraine, therefore, well we need to stop him here.
00:23:46.000And that's a very disturbing sentiment.
00:23:50.000Because, number one, it's just not true.
00:23:52.000Of course Putin is going to stop with Ukraine.
00:23:56.000I don't even think he's capable of invading additional countries.
00:24:01.000You know, you look at the situation in Ukraine, and if Zelensky refuses to surrender, I mean, we're talking about a sustained occupation of a very large country, which is just not tenable for the Russian military.
00:24:15.000It's not in the cards for him to go further than that.
00:24:18.000Frankly, it's really not even in the cards for him to occupy Ukraine, like I said.
00:24:23.000for an indefinite period of time, let alone to occupy Ukraine, all of it, and then do more.
00:24:50.000So it's very troubling, but we'll talk about all of that tonight and the state of the war and where the negotiations are at.
00:24:57.000I reiterate, I'm going to reiterate tonight, I think the demands are reasonable.
00:25:03.000You see the rhetoric that is coming from the NATO camp and what is being said about what is supposedly happening in Ukraine, and you really have to ask yourself, all of this for this.
00:25:15.000All of this death and destruction, and the way they're portraying it, it's war crimes, he's blowing up hospitals, he's slaughtering pregnant women, he's slaughtering orphans.
00:25:27.000And it's like, okay, I don't believe any of that, but let's say that's true.
00:25:32.000This is your impression of the conflict, is that this is the worst thing since the Holocaust.
00:25:40.000I don't know if you saw, but Zelensky went to the Knesset, which is the Israeli Parliament, and he compared what's happening in Ukraine to the Holocaust, and the Israelis had none of it.
00:25:54.000How dare he even mention that in the same sentence!
00:25:57.000So, it's the worst thing to happen in Europe since the Holocaust, according to the NATO media.
00:26:04.000Yeah, the Jewish NATO media, but not comparable at all.
00:26:08.000It's just the worst thing since, but not close to it at all.
00:26:13.000But with the way that they're describing it, you would think then that they would accede to the reasonable demands to stop the suffering then, right?
00:26:24.000If this is such a horrible humanitarian disaster, you know, why is all of this happening?
00:26:48.000The other things can be negotiated, but the territory is really the crux of it and the NATO expansion, and it's like this is the hill that the whole world is supposed to die on?
00:27:37.000It's this miserable, it's a miserable process.
00:27:41.000I've never, my entire life I have never had a consistent sleep schedule and so it's just, you know, I'll be awake during the day and sleeping during the night for a time.
00:27:51.000and then for whatever reason it'll just get thrown for a loop and then I'm awake during the night and asleep during the day and you know correcting it's just such a miserable thing because you know it takes like a full like week or two they say it takes like a month really but before you feel normal it takes like a week or two and the you know when you're doing it it just sucks so I've been coping with that I've been waking up early and then trying to stay awake all day in the daylight
00:28:21.000I don't like being awake during the daytime.
00:28:23.000It's just, there's too, it's too much going on.
00:28:26.000I was thinking, I was walking around downtown today and I thought, you know, I need, like, I need, like, goggles or something.
00:28:33.000I need some kind of, like, self-contained, like, apparatus to mute my senses because it's just overwhelming.
00:30:22.000You can expect the show will begin within a certain range of time and you can do other things and you'll just be notified when it starts on a nightly basis, okay?
00:30:33.000We have a system and so you may not like it, okay?
00:31:29.000So, you know, what I, honestly though, I do, so I try, I try to get it together on time, but, you know,
00:31:38.000One of those things, you know, but what I do get a kick out of is this.
00:31:46.000You know that there is somebody that has to watch this show every night, like a journalist or researcher or law enforcement, and you know there is something really enjoyable
00:32:00.000About the fact that somewhere in America this scene is playing out where, again, it's a researcher, it's a journalist, it's law enforcement.
00:32:09.000Like they're sitting and they have to wait for this show to begin every night, you know?
00:32:14.000I mean it's bad enough, it's bad enough that I inflict this on my fans who love this show and they love me and they just need their fix every night.
00:32:24.000But it's something else to be inflicting this on people that are watching the show in like a predatory way.
00:32:30.000You know, they're watching the show with the intention of hurting me.
00:33:49.000We were debating whether or not to give this guy a channel because he just does these Instagram lives and he's not, you know, I don't really follow him too much.
00:35:18.000Whenever I go downtown, it's just exhausting because you got to drive all the way down there, you do your business, and then it's 50 minutes in traffic on the 290 going home.
00:35:54.000Went even further into my argument that I made in the debate on Friday about missile defense and balance of power and those kinds of things.
00:36:09.000I just got a little too... I got a little sweaty.
00:36:14.000But if you're curious about the situation in Ukraine, I think I gave a pretty good overview of the strategic situation last night.
00:36:24.000I don't know if it was just the temperature of the room or maybe it's a subject matter but yesterday I was sweating I mean I was literally soaking wet and I got up I never get up during my show but I got up to open the door and let a little you know cross breeze come in
00:36:40.000I don't know if it was the duration of the show, the subject matter, but I went on for like a hundred minutes and this foreign policy stuff I mean it matters very much to me so I'm really into it and like I said by the end of it I was like jeez you know I was cut my face was covered in sweat I was soaking wet and it's just by the end of it I like just passed out on my desk I went right to bed because I was so tired so
00:37:06.000Anyway, but we'll get into the news tonight.
00:37:09.000So, I guess we'll actually start with Putin's demands and then we'll get into Zelensky's response.
00:37:16.000So, the situation on the ground is this.
00:37:19.000They keep talking about how the Russian offensive is basically stalled.
00:37:26.000It's almost impossible really to know what the actual situation is on the ground.
00:37:31.000Because there is just so much misinformation coming from the Western media.
00:37:37.000And you remember, I mean when this all began three weeks ago, they were coming up with just nonsense.
00:37:42.000Like they said, there's this ghost of Kiev.
00:37:45.000There's a Ukrainian fighter pilot that shot down five Russian jets and they said, you know, the Ukrainians are inflicting thousands, tens of thousands of casualties on the Russians and they're destroying their tanks with Molotov cocktails.
00:37:59.000I saw some video on TikTok of a woman who literally burned herself in her own car trying to throw a Molotov cocktail at a Russian tank or something.
00:38:13.000They said something about Russia was bombing a nuclear plant and then that just turned out to be a total fabrication.
00:38:21.000And so the latest propaganda they say is that the Russian offensive is stalled and they're not making much progress and, you know, who really knows what's going on.
00:38:30.000But what they're trying to do is this.
00:38:32.000So they launched this big offensive from Crimea.
00:38:36.000Crimea is I mean Russia formally annexed Crimea back in 2014 and so they've got a naval base there and a strong military presence there I think 20,000 troops or something so they launch an offensive from from Crimea moving north from Donbass in eastern Ukraine moving west and then they also invaded from
00:39:01.000Moving south from Belarus and moving southwest from Kharkiv in Russia.
00:39:07.000And so if you look at a map of the current military situation, there's sort of this crescent where, again, Crimea is moving north, they're moving west from Donbass, and then they're moving south from Belarus and from southwest Russia.
00:39:22.000And so they're moving advancing on Kiev and then it seems as though there's this sort of pincer move where the forces in Crimea are trying to unite with the forces from Donbass and Maripol and the city there is under siege that'll be one of the first major cities to fall and then once that happens those forces can move north for the siege on Kiev.
00:39:45.000There was a rumor I heard that within the next couple of weeks Lukashenko is going to get involved and the country Belarus is going to send some troops for a final push on Kiev.
00:39:59.000So it seems as though the war is coming to an end.
00:40:03.000You know and what we heard from some more reliable sources like Douglas McGregor and some others is that you know basically the war was over before it began.
00:40:13.000You know, in the first week the Russians destroyed the entire Ukrainian military, destroyed a lot of their armored vehicles, and now it's just this attrition that's happening.
00:40:26.000And it seems as though it's only a matter of time.
00:40:28.000You know, and people have said, like I recall during the Destiny debate, they said something like, oh, you know, I don't know if Russia's gonna win, and this kind of stuff, because Russia didn't win, like, immediately.
00:40:39.000But you have to consider, it took, like, it took the United States 30 days to defeat Saddam Hussein.
00:40:46.000A quick war doesn't necessarily mean it happens overnight.
00:40:49.000You know, sometimes it takes time, and especially with all this Western assistance that Ukraine has and has been getting for the past eight years, it's a little bit tricky, but it seems like the war is nearing its end.
00:41:03.000And so negotiations have restarted between Moscow and Kiev, and they are being brokered by Turkey.
00:41:10.000And so there have been some phone calls over the past week and Putin has laid out his demands which you know there were demands before the war when the 200,000 troops were on the border and like I said there were these third parties as well as Russia and Ukraine meeting in Geneva back in the second week of January or I should say the third week of January.
00:41:34.000And back then, the demands were pretty extensive.
00:41:37.000But, of course, before the war begins, the demands are a starting point, you know?
00:41:43.000So, you remember a couple months ago, the military buildup was ongoing.
00:41:47.000There were these questions about, is this a bluff?
00:41:49.000Is Putin trying to bring the West to the negotiating table?
00:41:55.000And so the starting position for the Russians was very extensive.
00:41:59.000They said that they wanted Ukraine never to join NATO.
00:42:03.000They said they wanted NATO to freeze its membership.
00:42:06.000They said they wanted NATO to stop conducting military drills in Eastern Europe.
00:42:11.000They wanted NATO to pull back all of their military forces in Eastern Europe.
00:42:16.000Not only have to ask Russia for permission to do military drills, but not even have permanent military presence in Eastern Europe at all, which would be the order which prevailed before the crisis in 2014.
00:42:31.000They also said that they wanted a moratorium on the short and intermediate range ballistic missiles in Europe.
00:42:58.000You know, you don't get everything you want in the negotiation, but you give a starting point and then you work back to a more realistic settlement.
00:43:15.000So, you know, nobody would expect or nobody would assume that Putin expects to get all of that.
00:43:22.000In the negotiations back in January, you would actually assume that Putin is going to negotiate on a lot of that and negotiate down and then we'll find out what are the real items that are absolutely necessary for some kind of settlement to be achieved.
00:43:41.000But that was the, those were the conditions back in January.
00:44:27.000That's a part of their demand, is they want some of these regions in Donbass to become independent and to have sovereignty and for Kiev to recognize this.
00:44:37.000I think Luhansk and Donetsk would be a part of that.
00:44:43.000Because some are saying that what Putin is really trying to achieve here is a new state, a sort of Eastern Ukrainian state, which is comprised of the ethnic Russian and Russian-speaking people,
00:45:18.000And then Russia would control the entire coastline of the Sea of Azov, as well as a large percentage of Ukraine's coastline with the entire Black Sea.
00:45:28.000But of course then Ukraine would still have Odessa in the west.
00:45:34.000So they would still have some of that coastline with the Black Sea, but Russia would have most of it.
00:45:39.000And again, they would have that coastal land bridge there that would connect Donbass with Crimea.
00:45:49.000Some say that Putin wants even more than that.
00:45:52.000And they say that Putin wants to connect Donbass with Transnistria, which is a breakaway region in eastern Moldova.
00:45:59.000And Transnistria is a long strip of land on the east of Moldova, on the west coast of Ukraine.
00:46:06.000And some say that at the furthest end of the spectrum, what Putin wants is a new Ukrainian state that connects all of it.
00:46:14.000And Putin wants to control the entire coast of the Black Sea that Ukraine currently has, and connect Transnistria, where Russia is currently deployed and Russia effectively controls,
00:46:27.000With Crimea, with Donbass, with Russia and create a very large state and then make Ukraine effectively a landlocked state west of the Dnieper River.
00:47:12.000They want Kiev to recognize the independence of Luhansk and Donetsk.
00:47:18.000Potentially, Russia may want to create a new state there, although I think that would be probably too extreme, although I thought the invasion was too dramatic, so maybe that's part of it.
00:47:29.000They also want Ukraine to be demilitarized, meaning they do not want Ukraine obviously seeking a nuclear arsenal.
00:47:36.000They do not want Ukraine to be buying these drones, the Bayraktar drones from Turkey.
00:47:41.000They don't want Ukraine arming themselves with missile defense systems from the West.
00:47:47.000And then also Putin wants the denazification.
00:48:11.000It says, quote, I mean, it's just reiterating what I said, but it says the Russian demands fall into two categories.
00:48:18.000The first four demands are not difficult for Ukraine to meet.
00:48:21.000Chief among them is an acceptance by Ukraine that it should be neutral and not apply to join NATO.
00:48:28.000There are other demands in this category which mostly seem to be face-saving elements for the Russian side.
00:48:34.000Ukraine would have to undergo a disarmament process to ensure it is not a threat to Russia.
00:48:39.000There would have to be protection for the Russian language in Ukraine and there is something called denazification.
00:48:45.000The second category is where the difficulty will lie and in his phone call Mr. Putin said that it would need face-to-face negotiations between him and Zelensky
00:48:55.000Before agreement could be reached on these points.
00:48:58.000Zelensky has already said he's prepared to meet the Russian president and negotiate with him one-on-one.
00:49:05.000But the Turkish negotiator was much less specific about these issues, saying simply that they involve the status of Donbass in eastern Ukraine, parts of which have already broken away from Ukraine and stress their quote-unquote Russianness and the status of Crimea.
00:49:23.000Although he didn't go into detail, the assumption is that Russia will demand that the Ukrainian government should give up territory in Eastern Ukraine.
00:49:32.000The other assumption is that Russia will demand that Ukraine should formally accept that Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014, does indeed now belong to Russia.
00:49:42.000If this is the case, it will be a bitter pill for Ukraine to swallow.
00:49:48.000That Putin has outlined, and I think they're all reasonable.
00:49:52.000I think these are all reasonable demands.
00:49:54.000I don't think there's anything in here that is really contentious at all, actually.
00:49:59.000And I think given what is going on, it's very modest, and I think a very small price to pay given the stakes here in this conflict.
00:50:11.000And I said this earlier in the show, you know, the way that the Western media is portraying this, they say this is like the worst humanitarian disaster in Europe ever, basically.
00:50:22.000And it's so over the top, and it's so ridiculous, and it's just not even honest, as we all know.
00:51:07.000Kinetic action and violence happens between states.
00:51:12.000This has always happened in human affairs, and people say, you know, well it's the 21st century, we don't do wars anymore.
00:51:19.000Well, we're not new people, and we have not found a new way to organize ourselves, so unless you're a progressive and you believe that human nature can be changed,
00:51:30.000You know, then there's no reason to expect that war should change or that war, that we'll see a cease to war in our lifetimes or ever, you know, in the lifetime of any human being on Earth for that matter.
00:51:42.000So, I mean, that is somewhat contentious, but...
00:52:11.000In this particular war, it's not being fought in any kind of way that is excessive, that is cruel, that is brutal.
00:52:20.000Despite what the Western media says, there have been ceasefires to allow for humanitarian corridors.
00:52:27.000The war is being fought in a way that is not like an all-out total war.
00:52:33.000You're not seeing weapons of mass destruction, you're not seeing chemical weapons, you're not seeing anything banned by the Geneva Convention.
00:52:40.000There is nothing about even the conduct of the war that anybody could say is especially bad for a war.
00:52:47.000But of course, because people are dying and because siege tactics are being used, people are painting it like this is somehow particularly evil or something.
00:53:00.000It's being fought within the confines of what is considered legal war.
00:53:06.000And it is being fought for very concrete and limited aims.
00:53:10.000You know, it would be one thing if Moscow declared war on Europe and they said, you know, we're gonna invade all of Europe and we're gonna kill everyone in Europe.
00:53:22.000You know, it would be one thing if Putin said, we're gonna take over the whole world and we're declaring war on everybody and nukes are on the table and all this.
00:53:39.000It means that they have a clear purpose for the war, they have a clear casas belli, a clear reason for the war, and those reasons are limited in scope.
00:53:52.000Tactically, strategically, and politically.
00:53:55.000Contrast this with the policy of the United States of America.
00:54:00.000We're at war right now in West Africa.
00:54:03.000We're at war in the Arabian Peninsula.
00:54:07.000We never declared war, but we're still using the 2001 authorization of the use of military force for the war on terrorism to fight in more than 10 countries at the same time.
00:54:23.000That's an example of a war that is fought without a concrete reason and without a limited objective.
00:54:31.000Moreover, this is a war with casualties in the millions and arguably is being fought outside the confines of what could be considered legal warfare.
00:55:01.000Nevertheless, the standard that's being put out by the Western media, and the standard that we are trying to hold Russia to, we don't even meet!
00:55:41.000Well, for the first ten years it was to kill Osama Bin Laden and destroy this elusive, you know, underground Al-Qaeda base built into a mountain.
00:55:51.000And then for the latter ten years it was about women's right to vote.
00:56:17.000The United States conducts many of them currently.
00:56:21.000And unlike the wars that the NATO alliance and the United States have conducted, this is limited in scope and with concrete objectives.
00:56:31.000Now once again, when you consider what the concrete objectives are, these are all reasonable.
00:56:36.000That Ukraine should be disarmed is not an unreasonable demand.
00:56:42.000That Ukraine should be a neutral state is not an unreasonable demand for Russia to make.
00:56:49.000As far as the denazification goes, I mean, this is where you begin to infringe on sovereignty, but you know, it's a little bit ironic that this would be the hill that the NATO alliance and the Westerners would die on, because they are real neo-Nazis, you know, for what it's worth.
00:57:16.000The founding of the Soviet Union and World War II.
00:57:19.000This faction of Galician neo-Nazis, they have been around since the 1930s.
00:57:25.000And they were put in power after the Maidan Revolution, and they are persecuting ethnic Russians in Ukraine, in Eastern Ukraine.
00:57:34.000That was one of the first things that the post-Maidan government did was they talked about repealing protections for minority languages, which would include Russian.
00:57:45.000So, you know, that's something where Russia's trying to dictate domestic policy for Ukraine, but they're doing it on behalf of ethnic Russians.
00:57:53.000And, like I said, it just so happens that, I mean, is this not what the United States is supposed to be so opposed to, after all?
00:58:01.000The Galicians collaborated with the Nazis in the invasion of the Soviet Union.
00:58:46.000This is going to go as far as Moldova.
00:58:48.000You know, we don't know what those demands are exactly, but if the demand is Luhansk and Donetsk, I think that's really just a small price to pay.
00:58:55.000Additionally, Putin pointed this out in his speech announcing the special military operation back in the final week of February.
00:59:04.000You know, he discussed how Donbass was actually formally part of Russia and was given generously to Ukraine by Lenin.
00:59:13.000When Lenin drew the border for this administrative unit we call Ukraine, he gave Luhansk and Donetsk and this entire swath of land in eastern Ukraine that is really technically part of Russia.
00:59:26.000I mean, Donbass is really not Ukrainian at all.
00:59:33.000In the way that, you know, you look at like Southwestern Texas.
01:01:48.000That's maybe the most controversial piece is maybe he wants more land.
01:01:53.000Pull out this neo-Nazi faction in your government, disarm, and we'll pull back.
01:02:01.000We'll end the fighting, we'll withdraw, and then it's over.
01:02:04.000At that point, if Zelensky doesn't accept the negotiation, if he doesn't accept that deal,
01:02:10.000Or if he's unwilling to accept, if he's got preconditions, and he's unwilling to accept even the principle, a compromise in principle on these matters, who then is responsible for the prolonging of the war?
01:02:26.000And you get into this problem here where this is a war that this man cannot win.
01:02:33.000Like I said, Ukraine does not have the capability, and the West, they can only help him so much.
01:02:41.000Additionally, in the course of fighting this war, Zelensky's conscripted all the fighting age men in Ukraine, he's banned them from leaving the country, banned all other political parties, people are getting sentenced to jail if they're sympathetic with Russia, so he's turned Ukraine effectively into this police state, he's turned it into this wartime dictatorship almost.
01:03:03.000He's turned every fighting-age male into a potential soldier, and he says, we're going to fight until the last Ukrainian.
01:03:10.000Okay, so who's really responsible here for the bloodshed?
01:03:14.000Because, like I said, on the Russian side, this is not a total war.
01:03:19.000This is a war with limited objectives.
01:03:22.000It's a special military operation with very limited objectives, limited in scope.
01:05:26.000Or are we going to protest this fact, which is not going to change, and which we cannot change, and in the process embroil ourselves in a war with Russia?
01:05:34.000In the process destroy all of Ukraine?
01:05:37.000You know, because here's fundamentally the proposition in 2014.
01:05:41.000Putin says, look, like, you're not getting the message.
01:05:56.000And then when all is said and done, when this is all over, Ukraine will have been destroyed, and many people will have died unnecessarily, and the country will be even poorer than it was before.
01:06:07.000And, you know, and so are people really going to be proud of what they've done when all of this is over?
01:06:14.000Are people going to say, well, uh, you know, well, good thing we'd stood up to Putin.
01:06:28.000Had NATO not pushed after 2008, Crimea would still be part of Ukraine.
01:06:34.000You know, if the Maidan didn't happen in 2014, Ukraine would still be sovereign, Crimea would still be part of Ukraine, there'd be no civil war.
01:06:45.000Ukraine would still be collecting billions off of their pipelines that they have there.
01:06:53.000And maybe there would be foreign investment into the, like I said, the shale oil and the natural gas in the Black Sea.
01:07:01.000But instead, this is the result, and it's like, well, so who's the winner here?
01:07:04.000And ultimately, the question is about practicality and pragmatism, and this is where these NATO shills and these Westerners and these Americans just don't get it.
01:07:15.000It's like, you know, you can believe what you want, you can feel a certain way, ethically, morally, about things, but you cannot alter reality to an extent.
01:08:34.000And we're gonna pretend like America's borders are shrinking because, you know, an island, historically part of China, next to China, may follow the Chinese.
01:08:46.000A landlocked mountain country in the middle of Central Asia will have an indigenous government.
01:08:52.000And Ukraine will be under the sphere of influence of Moscow.
01:09:24.000And the people in the State Department are unwilling to accept this.
01:09:28.000And so, because they're unwilling to accept it, they're going to fight it down to the last Ukrainian, and the last Afghan, and the last Taiwanese, and when all is said and done, they may end the whole world in a nuclear exchange because they don't want to give up Donbass.
01:09:47.000And you just have to question at what point do you look in the mirror and say, we're the problem.
01:09:53.000You know, we're the ones causing the death and destruction.
01:09:57.000Other countries will exert their influence.
01:09:59.000I mean, this is just how states behave.
01:10:03.000And we can acknowledge that fact and work with them and there won't be a war or we could be delusional and push them to the brink and then get death.
01:10:10.000And then, you know, once again, as far as assigning culpability, it's a little bit more complicated than to say Putin is evil.
01:10:25.000It says, quote, Zelensky said any format should be used in order to have a possibility of negotiating with Russia.
01:10:42.000He said, I think we have to use any format, any chance, in order to have a possibility of negotiating, the possibility of talking to Putin.
01:10:50.000But if these attempts fail, that would mean that this is a third world war.
01:10:54.000If there is just 1% chance for us to stop this war, I think we need to take this chance.
01:11:00.000He also said, without negotiations, he does not believe the war will end.
01:11:04.000He says, I am ready for negotiations with him.
01:11:06.000I was ready over the last two years, and I think that without negotiations we cannot end this war.
01:11:12.000In terms of negotiations, Zelensky said he would not give up territorial integrity and Ukraine's sovereignty.
01:11:20.000He says, quote, there are compromises for which we cannot be ready as an independent state.
01:11:25.000Any compromise related to our territorial integrity and our sovereignty and the Ukrainian people have spoken about it.
01:11:31.000They have not greeted Russian soldiers with flowers.
01:11:34.000They have greeted them with bravery and weapons and blah, blah, blah.
01:11:38.000Zelensky said there would be no war if Ukraine were a NATO member and repeated his call for the country to be accepted into the organization.
01:11:46.000He said, I like to receive security guarantees for my country, for my people.
01:11:51.000If NATO members are ready to see us in the alliance, then do it immediately because people are dying on a daily basis.
01:11:58.000So he's not willing to accept in principle any of the terms of surrender.
01:12:03.000Not Crimea, not Donbass, not the end of NATO membership, and presumably
01:12:10.000Not the disarmament, not the denazification, not even the language laws.
01:12:14.000If you're talking about sovereignty and territorial integrity, and if he still has not given up on NATO membership, then there is no agreement in principle on any of the terms that Putin has given for the surrender.
01:12:31.000And he says the war will go on without negotiation.
01:14:37.000And so if Ukraine is attacked or if there's some conflict with Russia over Crimea or Donbass, if Ukraine's a NATO member, that is what backs up Ukraine's security.
01:14:46.000You don't have a right to our treasury.
01:14:48.000You don't have a right to the tax base of the United States of America.
01:14:52.000You don't have a right to the fighting-age population of the United States of America in Ukraine.
01:17:00.000You know, while we're on the subject of NATO, you know, Ukraine has no right for me to fight and die for them.
01:17:05.000Ukraine has no right for my tax dollars to spend on airplanes and everything else.
01:17:11.000I don't want to end the world over Ukraine's sovereignty against Russia of all countries.
01:17:19.000And while we're at it, I think we could take it a step further and say, I don't care about the sovereignty of half the countries that we have an obligation to defend.
01:17:28.000And there's an argument to be made about, oh, you know, is it better if states don't invade other states?
01:17:35.000I mean, sure, in the abstract, but, you know, once again, are we willing to go to a nuclear war over the Baltic states?
01:18:39.000Again, what do people seriously think is going to happen?
01:18:42.000If that's your nightmare scenario, oh, Putin invaded Ukraine and now Ukraine's part of Russia, and it's just like it was 30 years ago, so big whip.
01:20:11.000These thousands of people, potentially tens of thousands of people, that will have died, and really over the past eight years, because there's an ongoing civil war, and there was a revolution, but in particular this war, when Putin wins, and when Putin dictates the terms, it will be what he has been asking for since 2008, which we could have given him, which we could have negotiated with him on our own terms,
01:20:41.000But now tens of thousands of people will have died to restore the status quo for nothing.
01:20:47.000They didn't die for Ukraine, they didn't die for democracy, they died for the greed and the hubris and the self-righteousness of people in the State Department, ultimately.
01:20:58.000Because that's who's emboldened this regime in Kiev.
01:21:01.000And that's why this nutjob won't surrender, and that's why people are dying for nothing.
01:21:08.000All these people waving the flag of democracy, these people have more, these hypocrites have more blood on their hands than anybody.
01:21:16.000That's, that's the real takeaway here.
01:21:21.000You know, they wave the flag about, you know, they stick their chin up and, you know, they talk about democracy and, you know, she's like, Winston Churchill, Zelensky's a hero!
01:21:32.000Oh, the fierce resistance of the Ukrainian people!
01:24:58.000You know, if we just push Zelensky to surrender, we can save face, and Russia can save face, and everybody can save face, and Russia will get what it wants, as it was always going to.
01:26:04.000Tell that to, you know, to any country for that matter.
01:26:09.000I mean, look at what we are responsible for, and people are going to seriously say, oh, well, you know, it's the 21st century, we don't do wars anymore, except for when we do.
01:26:29.000So we can invade Iraq, and we can invade Libya, and we can invade Syria.
01:26:34.000Like it's just, you know, how do these people even say it with a straight face?
01:26:38.000We're going to talk about killing Putin, and we're going to talk about overthrowing every government we don't like, and we're going to get involved, like I said, in Syria, we're going to overthrow the government in Iraq, overthrow the government in Libya, we are going to sponsor revolutions all over the world,
01:26:58.000Oh, but when Putin invades Ukraine, oh God forbid.
01:27:32.000It's a legitimate means of securing your country, pursuing your country's self-interest.
01:27:39.000I don't see any problem with a just war.
01:27:45.000But it's these people that are going to throw their hands up and scream about, oh, self-determination is the sanctity of a country's territory and its sovereignty.
01:27:59.000But when we do it, they're going to come up with, oh well, it's called Right to Protect.
01:30:53.000Catholic monarchy, Catholic monarchy and just war and crusades and inquisitions, pretty good stuff, pretty good stuff.
01:31:03.000And now we have psychological and information war, false flags, intel agencies going rogue, government against its own people, merchant financial class lording over the people, a new serfdom, the destruction of the family, human trafficking of children.
01:31:24.000Yeah, that's what democracy has given us.
01:33:21.000Cheers to the new Tsar that has made us all possible.
01:33:24.000The 19th century man in a 21st century world.
01:33:28.000The Tsar Vladimir Putin and his brave soldiers fighting in Ukraine to liberate the world from this evil empire and its lies and its hypocrisy and its hubris and self-righteousness.
01:33:44.000And here's to the Eastern Orthodox Church in Russia.
01:36:07.000A fiat floating currency has no intrinsic value.
01:36:12.000It's a medium of exchange and you know the value is commensurate to the supply of the money and the value that people confer upon it to some extent psychologically.
01:36:25.000And so the way that you could protect the value of your money and your wealth is to get out of cash.
01:36:34.000Get your money out of money and buy things because things retain value no matter what the currency is.
01:36:40.000So land, gold, stocks, this is why assets are surging because all of the rich are pouring their money into hard assets, specifically land.
01:36:55.000They're buying up houses, they're buying up land and property all over the country.
01:37:51.000That's not financial advice I'm just giving you some information here but yeah it's gonna get bad it's gonna get worse there's no because here's the thing you know check this out we doubled the money supply in 2020 which is horrendous and then we've only just started to increase interest rates we've had near zero interest rates for basically since 2006 short intermission I think from what 20
01:38:21.00018 to 2020 under Trump they began to raise interest rates, but then it went right back down to stimulate the economy after the COVID recession.
01:38:31.000So you double the money supply near zero interest rates since 2006.
01:38:36.000Now you've got these artificially high energy prices because of the sanctions on Russia.
01:38:44.000And you know, and I said this last week, people don't realize when the energy costs go up, everything goes up.
01:39:20.000So you'll see those increased costs in everything.
01:39:24.000Then, you know, Russia is like the number one exporter of fertilizer and one of the largest exporters of food.
01:39:32.000So you're also going to see food prices go up because the fertilizer is going to become scarce.
01:39:39.000And then the food itself will become scarce.
01:39:41.000So you're going to see artificial price spikes in food, in energy, and then add to that already the persistent inflation that has been ongoing since 2020.
01:41:34.000Do you think there is any truth in the conspiracy theory that the Canaanite Baal cult supposedly survived to the modern day and has been influencing society ever since?
01:43:38.000But Sam Francis, he wrote a really good essay about this.
01:43:43.000And he said, you know, we have to be careful not to be given to outlandish conspiracy theories if for no other reason than it's just not practical.
01:43:51.000Because you could talk about globalism and you could talk about these things.
01:43:54.000When you start telling people like, oh, like the Khazarian Mafia, the Jews aren't real, they're Khazars, you know, then that's when you start to lose people.
01:44:07.000I haven't really looked into it very closely and education for libs I don't know I haven't kept in touch with him so I don't really know what he's up to these days but yeah he was pretty funny because I thought he was just some retard like you know Q poster and then he was telling me he was like you know he's pretty woke on a lot of this stuff so he's very aware
01:44:33.000We were at this event and he got really drunk and he got so drunk he couldn't even give a speech and he was real belligerent and that's just not cool.
01:45:08.000I mean, yeah, it's particularly bad now, but that's just always how it's been, honestly.
01:45:13.000You know, people say, I just so hate when people, because I hear it all the time, they'll say, I totally get what Nick is saying about modern women.
01:45:21.000It's like, it ain't about modern women, okay, you fucking simp.
01:48:42.000And they are subordinated to us by God, okay?
01:48:46.000So, when you fawn and simp over women, it's not because they're whores, it's not because they dress slutty, it's not because they're American, or they're living in the current year, it's because they are... the problem is that they're women, okay?
01:49:01.000And they're the flesh, and we should not be given to being tempted by the flesh.
01:49:26.000And, you know, the thing is men rationalize it and men come up with excuses and they dedicate their whole life basically to pursuing sexual pleasure or emotional comfort.
01:51:11.000A lot of guys say they're doing it because, you know, and I talked about this with Kai, you know, some of these trad guys, they say, well, I want a family.
01:53:03.000Why don't you... Why don't you put on your Walgreens uniform and go to work, Mr. I-would-put-villages-to-fire-you-would-be-a-fucking-farmer?
01:53:13.000You're not putting anything to fire anytime soon, and you're a simp too, and you're pussy-wet, okay?
01:58:40.000You would never, like, like, yeah, you're gonna talk to your kids, and you're gonna be nice to your kids, and you're gonna love your kids and all that, but they're your kids, you know?
01:58:50.000And women are, like, a little bit of a step above that.
01:58:54.000And so the idea that we're, you know, it's like,
01:58:56.000We're gonna be trying to, like, build a consensus here, like... You know, the worship of that, and appointing these people, and... Just forget about it, man.
01:59:13.000You know, Ed Edd n Eddy has a more noble pursuit.
01:59:17.000You might as well get freaking, you might as well do everything to get a 25 cent jawbreaker.
01:59:22.000That would be more noble than what these, what these nitwits are pursuing with the, uh, the pussy worship.
01:59:27.000You'd literally, it would be more nobly be better off trying to get a jawbreaker or trying to get the freaking whatever than, uh, getting a Scooby snack than chasing after
01:59:41.000These, uh, the flesh chasing after these creatures.
01:59:50.000Getting the Krabby Patty secret formula.
02:00:37.000CC Red says, is there any direct evidence of the Ukraine Nazis Azov battalion group being Western CIA funded proxy forces or does it just appear that way and in the safe to assume category or am I way off?
02:00:54.000John McCain went over to Kiev and gave speeches alongside them.
02:00:59.000They're absolutely backed by the West.
02:01:02.000Lion Rider says, I was listening to Destiny's Transports Debate video and the moderator would be like, okay Ashley, and some dude two octaves lower than Destiny starts talking, how does a smart guy humor this stuff lol?
02:02:01.000I don't think we're totally out of the woods, but at least for now we're safe.
02:02:05.000And, um... That's why it takes strong leadership, because a lot of people criticized me, and they said, you know, Nook's telling people to get fired from their jobs!
02:03:32.000For the Ghosts says, not gonna lie, any women, American women, have nothing on that fat duck dump or finna gonna boutta lose it, to be honest, fam pie.
02:05:17.000Kevin Breaux says, I had to send an F in chat for AF candidates from 34A district.
02:05:23.000Shekinah Hollingsworth, a gay activist within the GOP, pressured Anadot to suspend all fundraising services for her campaign despite their site boasting conservative organizations as clientele.
02:10:16.000Orange Bag says Assad visited the UAE much to the chagrin of the State Department.
02:10:23.000On top of OPEC Arab countries refusing to take Biden's calls, will they look eastward to the new Russo-Chinese-Indian economic order against Guadalajara?
02:10:50.000But there will be conflicts probably between India and China.
02:10:54.000I wouldn't say it's a Russo-Chinese-Indian block, but it certainly is changing.
02:10:59.000It's reorienting towards Asia now, towards East Asia.
02:11:03.000Josh, The Remove vs. Today, the Oklahoma State House passed a bill that will ban all abortion that isn't necessary to save the mother's life.
02:14:43.000One night, after 17 years, they all come out of the ground, and they crawl up the trees, and they look like beetles, and then they hatch, and they hatch, and they're black, and they have red eyes and yellow wings, and they're everywhere.
02:15:01.000The whole ground is covered in their exoskeletons, you know, the whole ground is covered in their shells, their trees are covered in them, and then the cicadas are everywhere, and they're loud, and they dive bomb on you, and they're just everywhere, and then they all die at the same time, and the stench, it smells like, it smells like death everywhere in the city.
02:15:24.000Every 17 years so I got to get out of here before that happens and then I'll come back But I can't I can't do it again.
02:15:31.000It happened one time You know, I was born in 98 and then I think it happened in 2007 or 2008 And they're due to come back I think next year the year after and I I just don't want to do it I can't do it anymore It's horrible
02:15:49.000I remember when I was in baseball, I was in second grade, and this kid threw one at me.
02:15:55.000Because, you know, we used to pick them up, we used to pick them up by the wings, and they would freak out, and you'd throw them around.
02:16:02.000There was this one trick, if you pulled their back, I think it's their back left leg, their head comes off.
02:16:07.000See, we'd pull them apart, we'd throw them around, you know, and just abuse them.
02:16:14.000And I was in baseball and I'm in the dugout and this jerk okay the cool guy you know this is my origin okay this is this is who I am you know the cool guy on the team the cool guy I think his parents were either rich or he have like a single mom who worked for rich people I forget but he was
02:16:34.000He was like the cool, he was like the cool, like, pretty boy on the team.
02:16:38.000You know, of course, he was like the best hitter.
02:16:41.000And he fucking threw, throws a cicada at me.
02:17:35.000He threw the cicada at me, I punched him, I knocked the wind out of him, he cried, then he came at me and they broke it up, you know, and everyone yelled at me, of course.
02:17:45.000But, yeah, so, that's a little vignette, that's a little window
02:18:03.000I hit a home run in fourth grade, and of course my dad took the wind out of my sails, and he said, well you shouldn't have kept running, but you got lucky.
02:18:21.000It is technically true that it was an unforced error by the other team because they just kept throwing the ball around and not catching it and I got to home base.
02:18:55.000I'm already the worst guy on the team, but hey, I appreciate the support.
02:19:00.000Thanks for the...thank you for the constructive criticism, coach.
02:19:06.000So you know that's my life that's uh you know but but it doesn't but it didn't bother me you know but it's not like that bothered me as you can see so but hey we still celebrated you know we went out to dinner we went out to Dee's Little Italy and we got pizza and you know we celebrated the home run I got some good catches I was a good hitter but you know I just wasn't into it I didn't care okay I didn't like baseball
02:19:36.000I was strong because I had puberty when I was like 11, you know, so I was well When did I stop playing I guess when I was 12, but I was a bigger stronger kid And so I was a good hitter and when I tried I was okay, but I just my mind was elsewhere Okay, I was thinking about Star Wars.
02:20:43.000There's a word for it well, what is it called when you like don't have proper motor skills, you know So, I mean I they recommended that for me when I was like four and for whatever reason my you know Parents didn't take him up on that So that was just torture, but you know what it's you know, it's one of those things that builds character That was the argument, you know, I needed to be involved in something.
02:21:05.000They said I couldn't just play video games all day.
02:21:41.000But yeah, no, they thought that maybe the speech therapy, you know, I was already getting speech therapy because I had a stutter, so they said, you know, the motor skill thing, maybe we don't need that, that's not necessary.
02:23:34.000You know, I don't think that, I think people should probably try to marry somebody like relatively close in age, like I'm talking within 10 years.
02:23:45.000I think it's perfectly fine if you marry a girl 10 years younger.
02:23:51.000I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
02:23:53.000I just think it's kind of, like, it's a little weird.
02:23:56.000But I don't think there's anything, like, wrong with it morally.
02:24:41.000Like, when is that gonna, do you turn, do you turn 50 and you're like, oh, now I'm really into, like, 50 year old women.
02:24:46.000I mean, like, when is that, when is that supposed to happen, you know?
02:24:50.000I get like, you know, as you get older, you're like, you know, you find people your same age still attractive, but do you ever stop being like, whoa, you know, Charli D'Amelio is really hot.
02:25:05.000Are you ever going to not find her hot?
02:25:06.000Are you going to turn 40 and be like, ew, ew, she's gross.
02:26:09.000I know it's a sensitive subject matter, but there's a fine line, you know.
02:26:13.000I would never use the death of a loved one in that way.
02:26:15.000I mean, I have had loved ones die, and I, I don't, uh, I don't trot that out to, you know, in a political argument.
02:26:23.000I never talk about it, because it's painful to talk about, and it's personal, and it's private, and it's sensitive, and to throw that out there like it's a fucking campaign slogan, it's just, it's horrible.
02:26:36.000Nicholas Bank says, Hey Nick, love the show.
02:28:15.000Kevin Brose's America's Involvement in Ukraine is Approaching Battered Woman Syndrome.
02:28:21.000We're bleeding money, losing credibility, and slowly our place as the global hegemon to help an ungrateful ally safe face different countries, same one-sided relationship.

02:30:35.000Let's go Three more pages of super chat still awesome
02:30:45.000Grand Admiral says, do you have a favorite Star Wars character that's considered legends now?
02:31:33.000We need to create a citizenry here and give them moral instruction, a Christian education, and give them practical life skills.
02:31:41.000And of course, I mean, they should still learn math and science and reading and all that, you know.
02:31:48.000But by secondary school, it should have a mind towards occupational placement, you know?
02:31:53.000So, secondary school, like other countries, should be with a mind towards, you know, where are these kids going to end up?
02:32:00.000And we should create a system with lots of standardized testing so that we know where our smart people are and we can begin promoting them.
02:32:11.000And the goal should be literacy the goal should be
02:32:49.000And, you know, and they're pushing all this stuff about when we need to teach kids about, like, anal sex, and transgenders, and freaking racism.
02:32:58.000It's like, why don't you teach them math?
02:33:07.000But yeah, feed them better food, that's a given.
02:33:11.000You know, the government should just step into the food market and start banning stuff.
02:33:15.000Just take a red pen and just start banning seed oils, start banning trans fats, just start banning all kinds of stuff and, you know, the industry will have to change.
02:33:28.000You know, the federal government should go in, ban plastics, ban these industrial oils that we're cooking the food in, ban high fructose corn syrup, straight up, ban high fructose corn syrup, ban seed oils, ban all of it, ban microplastics, ban plastics!
02:34:05.000The Fed does not have the balls to normalize rates.
02:34:08.000Interest rates would have to go to Volcker levels and stay there for a generation so Americans can build up their savings while in a recession.
02:34:16.000WonderPet says, I heartily enjoyed the opener for the debate when Destiny opened with 10 minutes of a written out speech refuting points he thought you'd make and you reply with, well, this is all off the cuff but none of that is my argument.
02:37:57.000I mean, listen, honestly, the only reason he's still on is because if I kicked him off, then he would get to say, uh, I'm the first one that got kicked off Cozy, duh, I'm just too radical.
02:38:09.000So I said, you know what, stay on the platform and just get shit on by Groipers, you know, see how much I care.
02:38:14.000Because if I banned him, it would play right into his whole, you know, thing.
02:38:18.000Because here's the thing, Cozy is not really a free speech platform in a sense, because it's curated, like,
02:38:27.000I put people on here who I like and we don't really have the capacity to bring on just anybody so we do have to be somewhat selective and you know I've never said that the goal of Cozy is to make a platform where you could say and do anything you want that's the purpose of this is to create a specific like kind of community and
02:38:51.000And yeah, I'm, you know, me and specifically Michael Zimmerman are running it, okay?
02:38:57.000It's all about what Michael Zimmerman wants at the end of the day.
02:39:01.000So... Yeah, but as far as Stu goes, I just really didn't want to give him the satisfaction, so... Who cares about his dumb show?
02:39:24.000Dr. Groyper says to ensure your sons are as genius as you, what if you had an Easter egg hunt to pick your wife and each hiding place leave clues to lead to the next location and put the ring inside the final egg destination.
02:39:35.000The smartest girl who solves the riddles gets to raise your sons.
02:39:39.000That sounds like the gayest thing ever.
02:39:42.000Modern Monarchist says Joe Arpaio walks up to you and introduces himself to you for three minutes.
02:39:46.000He pulls out his trademark wrinkled pink underwear and a sharpie.
02:39:50.000Nick, can I bum an autograph from you?
02:39:53.000I have a real taste for mac and cheese.
02:42:19.000And I've got a real appetite lately for just, for purging, you know.
02:42:23.000I'm just, I'm on my Stalin vibe lately.
02:42:26.000No, I love, I love all of our current and former people, but you know, there's something about the aggressive rotation which creates this certain environment which we're after, you know.
02:42:42.000But no, I love all the, I love all the former and current assistants.
