Russia strikes back after a terrorist attack on a bridge that links them to the front lines of the Ukraine conflict, and the West responds in kind. Also, I have a bad headache and I'm trying to figure out how to get over it, but it won't stop me from talking about it. And I also talk about the Shia LaBeouf art installation that's getting rave reviews, and a new movie from Sam Hyde that's out in theaters now. And then I get distracted by a bunch of other stuff, and I don't even remember what it is. I think it's a good thing it's only been a week since the last episode, because it's going to be a pretty slow one today, and it's probably better than the rest of the week, which is not a bad thing, considering the amount of stuff going on in the world right now. I also go over the latest in the war in Ukraine, including the latest drone strikes and cruise missiles being launched by NATO, and how Russia is responding to them. And I talk about why I want Russia to just go all in on Ukraine, because I'm sick and tired of this war, and why they should just do what they're doing. Finally, I also discuss the new movie I'm working on and why you should buy it. It's a must-listen movie. I think you're going to like it, so you won't want to miss it. Buy it here: $8 to rent, $20 to buy it, buy it on Amazon Prime, or buy it for $20, and watch it on Vimeo for $8, and you get 20% off the price of a copy of the movie and a free copy of it for 99.99.

00:00:19.000That's one of the only lines of transportation that is connecting Russia to the front lines of the war here.
00:00:27.000And so Russia constructed, I think it's a $35 billion bridge that establishes a connection between Russia and Crimea, and it's got rail, and it's got a highway, and that's how they send their military supplies into the south of Ukraine.
00:00:44.000And so over the weekend, the Ukrainian Armed Forces sent a terrorist, a suicide bomber, in a truck filled with explosives over the bridge, which they detonated, damaging the bridge.
00:00:56.000So Putin came out the day after and said that that was a terrorist attack, which it is, and a significant escalation, and vowed to retaliate.
00:01:06.000And so over the course of the past couple days, they've launched dozens of drone strikes and cruise missiles at Ukraine, destroying their energy infrastructure, as well as other public works, things like water, cell phone, all that kind of stuff.
00:01:23.000So pretty epic rebuttal by Russia and everybody saying the war is getting so much more brutal, which it's like, honestly, it's about time.
00:01:31.000I want Russia to just finish the job already.
00:07:27.000I was taking a multivitamin, it smelled like shit.
00:07:31.000You ever get a nice... did it cause me to burp?
00:07:34.000That's a little too much, but I think if I just get the right mix, if I just get the right mix, I'm thinking maybe low-dose lithium is what Heiding recommended to me, the assistant groiper, and... I don't know, recommend?
00:07:49.000Publish the interview because he just doubled down on everything.
00:07:53.000So, you know, Saturday, of course, Kanye said, Death Con 3 on Jews.
00:07:59.000And now all the Jews are trying to go after him.
00:08:02.000And so I guess he was supposed to... There was this interview that he did with LeBron after that.
00:08:08.000And LeBron James won't publish it because it's too anti-Semitic.
00:10:29.000But as you know, Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, but there was no land bridge to Crimea from Russia.
00:10:38.000Crimea was completely cut off from Russia by land.
00:10:42.000So, Russia constructed a bridge that connects Russia to Crimea.
00:10:47.000And that's a big part of Vladimir Putin's legacy, actually.
00:10:51.000Big infrastructure project, cost billions of dollars.
00:10:55.000And this is part of integrating Crimea and solidifying Russia's hold over Crimea in the past eight years that there's this war that's been brewing between Kiev and Moscow.
00:11:09.000And so now that this war has started, since February, this bridge between Russia and Crimea has been a big part of the supply chain from Russia into Ukraine.
00:11:21.000As with any war, you need logistics, you need a supply chain, you need to have transportation, rail, and road that connects the factories and where the tanks are and where the heavy
00:11:35.000The heavy artillery and all that is, and connect it to the battlefield.
00:11:41.000And the bridge between Russia and Crimea is one of the primary ways that Russia's getting all that stuff into Ukraine.
00:11:46.000So this weekend, in a major escalation, the Ukrainian armed forces blew up the bridge.
00:11:52.000And not even in a conventional way, but a straight-up terrorist attack.
00:11:56.000If you watch the video, it's a truck, they loaded it up with explosives, and then it's apparently a suicide bomber that detonated the truck over the bridge
00:12:42.000But since the war broke out in February, on February 24th, it's only been escalating since the hostilities broke out into a hot conflict.
00:12:53.000And I said even before the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were burst, that it continues to escalate over and over.
00:13:00.000And the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipeline is an attack on Allied infrastructure.
00:13:05.000United States attack on their own allies' infrastructure, which is so beyond the pale, obviously, not only to attack your allies, but to attack your allies in their own territorial waters, and to attack their infrastructure.
00:13:52.000Russia unleashed a barrage of deadly attacks on cities across Ukraine on Monday, hitting the heart of the country's capital, Kiev, as part of a wave of strikes against civilians and infrastructure not seen since the earliest days of the war.
00:14:06.000The Russian President Vladimir 105 were injured as of early Tuesday.
00:14:11.000Russia used missiles and Iranian-built drones to target civilians and energy facilities throughout the country.
00:14:17.000Critical infrastructure facilities were damaged in Kiev and 12 regions.
00:14:22.000Significant internet outages were reported across the country by monitoring group NetBlocks.
00:14:29.000Kiev's mayor said explosions occurred in the central district of the city where key government offices are.
00:14:36.000Ending a sentence with a preposition, not good writing.
00:14:42.000He later said that some of the city's critical infrastructure was hit and that the threat of new strikes remained.
00:14:47.000Kiev's authorities also warned of possible power and water supply interruptions and urged people to charge their phones and stock up on water.
00:14:56.000In all, the Ukrainian army said Russians used at least 84 cruise missiles and 24 drones on Monday.
00:15:03.000And Russia's defense ministry shared videos of rockets being launched from a naval vessel and said all objectives of its strikes had been reached.
00:15:12.000So, again, this is what's being reported in the media and if you're just like a regular guy, you read the story and you're like, what?
00:15:23.000Russia's attacking civilians and their infrastructure?
00:16:18.000intelligence agencies told the New York Times, U.S.
00:16:21.000military intelligence, told the New York Times last week, and the New York Times reported it, that it was the Ukrainians that killed Dugin's daughter, that assassinated, by terrorist attack, the daughter of a civilian.
00:16:37.000Then, last month, maybe it was earlier this month, I don't know, the timeline's getting foggy for me,
00:16:46.000But then, weeks ago, the United States blew up the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines with remote explosives and that's Russian infrastructure shared with Germany.
00:16:59.000And this was a, once again, a terrorist attack in European territorial waters.
00:17:04.000This was in the Baltic Sea, where radar detected American Black Hawk helicopters flying over the site of the rupture in the pipeline.
00:17:14.000This is a pipeline that was paid for by Russia, so it's Russian infrastructure.
00:17:19.000And part of a decades-long deal going back to the middle of the last century between Russia and Germany.
00:17:27.000So it's an attack on Russian-owned infrastructure, but that's ultimately paid for in a certain sense by Germany, shared by Germany and in the European Schengen Territory in the Baltic Sea.
00:18:35.000And that was true before the United Nations, that has been true after the United Nations.
00:18:40.000Do you think that anybody was abiding by the rules of war in the Korean War, or the Vietnam War, or the Iraq War, or Israel's war in Lebanon, or any of it?
00:18:51.000Show me one example where the rules of war have really been adhered to since the Geneva Convention, or the UN Charter, or the Atlantic Charter,
00:19:11.000What I'm saying is the United States' moral high ground is completely bankrupt.
00:19:17.000Only one side is claiming that they're the enforcers of a rules-based international system that they alone preside over.
00:19:27.000And so what enters in then is hypocrisy.
00:19:29.000You can't point the finger at Putin and say he's a war criminal, and this is a war of aggression, and he's using brutal tactics, which is why we have to respond in certain ways.
00:19:41.000And you can't say that we have to repel Putin as the guarantor of a rules-based system, because otherwise the system would collapse.
00:19:53.000Ukraine is historically Russian territory.
00:20:31.000So it's always starting in the middle of the story.
00:20:33.000Oh, well, Russia just moved in on Ukraine, ignoring that right before that, Zelensky's talking about getting nuclear weapons, and the United States affirms their aspirations to join NATO in October of last year, and right before the Trump administration pulls out of the INF and redeploys
00:20:53.000Medium-range missiles to the European theater.
00:20:56.000Like, there were a lot of things that precipitated this.
00:20:59.000Just like Russia didn't just wake up and decide to blow up all Ukraine's infrastructure.
00:21:05.000It happened after three separate terrorist attacks.
00:21:07.000Suicide bombings, remote explosives, false flags, and political assassinations, car bombs.
00:21:18.000I thought we were supposed to be, aren't we the democracy?
00:22:13.000They're not getting any credit for doing that.
00:22:16.000Does the United States go on the New York Times and the Washington Post and NBC and do they go and say, hey, well credit where it's due, Putin is being really sensible.
00:22:26.000They've been calling a war criminal from day one and fear-mongering about chemical weapons and nuclear weapons and
00:22:33.000So, in other words, you have nothing to lose by going all the way.
00:22:36.000They're going to say you are anyway, and they're going to act like you are anyway.
00:22:41.000Do you think that they're going to do anything more?
00:22:43.000They will not allow Russia to win the war.
00:22:47.000So, if you wait to escalate, they're always going to reciprocate.
00:22:51.000If you escalate now or later, you'll be met with the same resistance.
00:23:33.000It's obviously not good for propaganda purposes that Russia staked their whole nation and their credibility on defeating the West and doing that in Ukraine.
00:23:44.000Ukraine's a much smaller, far less well-equipped country.
00:23:50.000And they're just getting their ass kicked like it's total stalemate, losing territory in some places, it's not over yet.
00:24:00.000Some say though that Putin is waiting for the winter because the winter is going to give them a huge advantage in terms of the energy situation as well as the situation on the battlefield.
00:24:11.000The actual weather conditions will make the fighting more difficult for the Ukrainians than the Russians because of how the land will change.
00:24:42.000More than anything else that's on the line, the credibility of this show is on the line if Russia doesn't win.
00:24:48.000Is Putin really gonna let destiny have the last laugh?
00:24:51.000Is he really gonna let that little cuckold and his community have the last laugh?
00:24:58.000and all these on here I want to get into our feature story which is about PayPal and like I said I was supposed to cover this last night as you know but I just got so caught up talking about Jewish power that we didn't get to it
00:25:12.000It's kind of amazing how, you know, some shows I'm really just like stretching and then give me a Kanye tweet about the Jews and I'll give you a three hour, I'll give you a three hour monologue.
00:25:23.000Give me one con, give me a 280 character tweet by Kanye about Death Con 3 on Jews and I'll bring it, okay?
00:25:35.000So we didn't get to this one last night for that reason but
00:25:39.000Our future stories about PayPal and this was widely reported and I wasn't even sure if it was real because they're like yeah I'm like a pretty bad I'm like totally censored because they're afraid of me oh really so like I said not too much surprises me anymore but this was just so shocking
00:25:59.000PayPal announced this policy where they were just going to go into people's accounts and just start taking their money.
00:26:06.000If PayPal thought they were spreading disinformation, they were just going to go in and start taking all their money.
00:26:12.000$2,500 fine for breaking the disinformation rule.
00:26:15.000And everybody flips out and says, like, are you serious?
00:26:46.000PayPal stock fell as much as 6% on Monday after the company botched the rollout of an acceptable use policy update that included big fines for the promotion of misinformation.
00:26:58.000The new acceptable use policy expanded the company's list of prohibited activities on its platform to include the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials that promote misinformation.
00:27:11.000Users that violated the policy would have been subject to a $2,500 fine that PayPal would automatically debit from their account.
00:27:20.000The policy was originally slated to go into effect on November 3rd, which is, as you know, just in time for the midterm elections.
00:28:10.000So it's two companies that control 99% of the market share.
00:28:17.000And right before, I mean literally right before the election,
00:28:22.000They go out and say, we're just gonna start taking your money.
00:28:25.000We're just gonna... If we don't like what you're saying, if we don't like what you say, we, the company that handles your money, will take your money.
00:28:36.000I thought the government imposed fines.
00:28:39.000Your payment processor will just start stealing your money.
00:28:43.000That would be like if you bought a real wallet.
00:28:46.000That would be like if you bought a tangible leather wallet and the wallet started shredding your money if it recorded you talking to your friends and you were saying the wrong thing politically.
00:29:06.000There's like a reasonable explanation for why we should have this.
00:29:11.000They're just gonna go into your account, which is equivalent to like a bank account, and just start debiting you.
00:29:16.000Just start fining you for things you say.
00:29:21.000It says the updated policy created a firestorm on social media over the weekend with several former PayPal employees weighing in and criticizing the policy including Elon Musk.
00:29:32.000Former president of PayPal David Marcus tweeted, it's hard for me to openly criticize the company I used to love and gave so much to, but PayPal's new AUP goes against everything I believe in.
00:29:44.000A private company now gets to decide to take your money if you say something they disagree with.
00:29:50.000PayPal immediately rolled back its policy update to exclude the new misinformation policy.
00:29:56.000The company told outlets, quote, PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and the language was never intended to be inserted into our policy.
00:30:08.000The payments platform said the policy update went out in error that included incorrect information.
00:31:12.000that and it's like I said before it's it's not just the government people seem to think that because it's not it's not literally the government that like we've got nothing to worry about or the government doesn't is not involved in any way honestly it doesn't matter the private and public sector are not meaningfully different anymore they're not meaningfully distinct and so between the banks
00:31:41.000And the banking regulations, and the processors, and companies like PayPal, and all the companies in Silicon Valley, and the contracting they do with the government, and the regulatory oversight with the government, it's no longer meaningful to say that PayPal is a private company.
00:32:09.000People look at all the different organs of the public or private institutions, and they still call them public and private institutions, but that is no longer a meaningful way to categorize
00:32:22.000These different bureaucracies, what they really are is just big bureaucracies, whether it be Facebook, or PayPal, or the intelligence communities, or the NGOs, or the federal government, whatever you want to call it, you just have these giant bureaucracies and you can assume that if a company like PayPal, which has a virtual monopoly on a very important industry, you can assume that they're in bed with the IC, they're in bed with the intelligence community.
00:32:51.000The regulatory oversight is so great that there's regulatory capture.
00:33:06.000So we hear all the time about these kinds of Intrusions that well, it's a private company.
00:33:13.000So that's their prerogative We don't really have to worry about that.
00:33:15.000Just build your own or boycott or something like that People need to recognize that fundamentally we're losing the ability to dissent in society It's not even about free speech.
00:33:27.000It's about the ability to dissent and that's where people get a little bit hung up and
00:33:32.000And they say, we're free speech advocates.
00:33:34.000Honestly, I'm not even primarily concerned with free speech.
00:33:39.000I'm primarily concerned with our ability to dissent, which means to disagree with the consensus that is promulgated by the government and the government press, which is a little bit different.
00:34:50.000That's obviously problematic if the government bans people from criticizing the government.
00:34:55.000So instead, they just say that everything that undermines or is critical of the government narrative is hate speech, or misinformation, or incitement, or some other category that people go, oh, oh, okay.
00:35:10.000Outlawing disagreeing with the government?
00:35:21.000And so, Getter's the perfect example where they come out and say, we're a free speech platform and we're gonna include all this speech that you may not see on Twitter, but we're also gonna fundamentally just ban dissent, just like Twitter, or just like anything else.
00:35:38.000You can't talk about the state, the private sector.
00:35:40.000They're the ones that create the taste.
00:35:42.000They're the ones that create the culture.
00:35:45.000Things are taboo because the government disallows them.
00:35:48.000Dissent is all those things that you think are so bad.
00:35:52.000So always in the name of free speech, people are out there saying we're going to protect pornography and we're going to protect all this other garbage where people talk about how CRT hurts black people and everything else, but they still ban dissent.
00:36:17.000Because the government and these institutions are destroying the country.
00:36:22.000So, if the people that are in charge are wrecking and raping the country, well, the only way to prevent them from doing that is to...
00:36:32.000Get everybody angry at them and get everybody to want to replace them and then replace them and put people in power that are going to make the right decisions.
00:36:43.000If the government is making horrible mistakes like opening the borders and going to nuclear war and everything else that has gone on over the past few years, if the government's doing all these things, then in order to change them we have to first have the freedom of conscience to think
00:37:02.000Thoughts, where we disagree with them, and then speak those thoughts, and then organize based on those ideas.
00:37:40.000And insofar as you need money to be able to support yourself to dissent against the government, then the banks and the payment processors must be forced to allow this.
00:38:00.000How do you achieve a political change?
00:38:02.000Everything that is necessary to achieving a political change which would be not just the freedom of conscience speech and
00:38:10.000and assembly, but also all the things that would all the things would facilitate in a modern advanced democracy, a regime change, which would be the ability to fund a movement, the ability to run a paper, the ability to put out a message using mass media, whatever the modern mode is, whether that's TV, radio, print, as well as social media.
00:38:33.000And the same goes for financing, not just checks and bank accounts, but credit cards,
00:38:39.000And not enough people realize what apparel we're in.
00:38:44.000They're fashioning a society, if we didn't have one already, where dissent is impossible.
00:39:15.000Wait until they control all the information and all the money.
00:39:19.000Not a dollar is transacted, not a word is spoken aloud or sent digitally by voice or by text that is not seen, recorded, ID'd, catalogued by the government and regulated.
00:39:49.000Whoever says what's disinformation, that's who's running the show.
00:39:52.000And I'll tell you what, it doesn't matter.
00:39:55.000Somebody's telling us that if you're purveying disinformation, if you have the wrong opinion, then you will lose your ability to speak, you'll lose your ability to keep or make money, and you may just get thrown in jail altogether if DHS is spying on you and sending people into chat rooms and surveilling you.
00:40:17.000How is that any different than what is said about Russia or China or Iran or North Korea?
00:40:25.000It literally just is not different at all.
00:40:27.000Go to a school board meeting to talk about CRT and LGBT curriculum and DHS says they're putting you on a terrorist watch list.
00:40:38.000That's a story we covered earlier this year.
00:40:40.000PayPal earlier this year teamed up with the ADL to track and turn over payment information to ADL and to the government of so-called extremists.
00:40:49.000That's before they started fining people they disagree with.
00:40:53.000Twitter, Facebook are gearing up before the midterm elections to ramp up censorship so that they can clock disinformation in real time.
00:41:04.000So what happens when the government really starts doing some messed up stuff and nobody can even learn about it, talk about it, raise money to protest against it, let alone protest against it?
00:42:33.000He's probably MKUltra trapped by feds, so I definitely, you know, I don't support that, but... Just the scale is a little bit ridiculous, a little bit humorous.
00:42:47.000It's humorous because he didn't carry it out.
00:42:49.000If he did carry it out, that would have been horrible, but it's like this nigga said, I'm gonna kill 3,000 women.
00:44:07.000Because I'm a nice guy who listens to others, some boomer colleague of mine keeps telling me how modern civilization and its architecture were actually ancient and were founded, found, by the elites.
00:44:17.000How do I get this dude to shift his manic energy to something more productive?
00:44:40.000Imagine some punk-ass zoomer with like those round glasses and like the goofy zoomer haircut shows up to work and some totally red-pilled Boomer with the gut and like a city accent is like hey, I won't tell you this but It's architectures ain't shit comes from aliens
00:45:00.000And some faggot little zoomer in booty shorts is gonna be like, um, you need to redirect that energy into something productive.
00:45:55.000He needs to redirect his manic energy into something productive, like... like doing duckface Snapchatting his girlfriend, or... waging, or waging... or doing some gay little hobby.
00:46:12.000You should sit down, shut up, and listen.
00:46:14.000When that boomer talks, your job is to sit down, shut up, and listen.
00:47:01.000Boomers were waddling around the Capitol with the shirt that said 6 million wasn't enough.
00:47:08.000You had a boomer in dad jeans and Skechers and a fucking t-shirt that said six million wasn't enough and a baseball cap waddling around with his calloused hands.
00:47:59.000I think that's a total, that's totally bait that helps nobody other than the intelligence agencies and the Jews and other assorted adversaries.
00:50:12.000I don't know it's been so long it's probably been 10 years since I've watched WWE if you can believe it 10 years since I've watched any of that stuff so I couldn't really tell you how
